Transfer fee to increase

By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – The Board of Selectmen approved an increase in transfer station fees this week at the recommendation of Department of Public Works Director Randy Brown.

Brown proposed a $10 increase to the general sticker fee and a $5 increase to the senior citizen fee, which brought the fees to $100 and $50, respectively.

Brown was not able to attend the selectRANDAL men meeting this BROWN week, but said yesterday that the town’s transfer station fees have not changed since 2007.

“I was looking through our revenues and expenses for the last three fiscal years,” said Brown of how the increase came about. “The money we bring in is not nearly enough to cover expenses, so the town kicks in about $200,000 a year.”

Brown also compared Southwick’s fees to other area municipalities with similar trash disposal systems and found Southwick was at the bottom of the list.

“The average is about $120 to $130 per year,” said Brown. “So Southwick was very low.”

Warning shot doesn’t stop son

By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A Springfield man has been held without right to bail after threatening to kill his father and attacking him with a baseball bat.

An emergency dispatcher alerted police at 8:39 a.m. Saturday that an open line 911 call had been received and a male party was heard yelling “put the gun down.”

Officer Joseph Stoyak was the first to arrive, two minutes later, and was followed within seconds by Officer Kerry Paton.

Paton reports that he and Stoyak found the front door smashed and open and when they entered the residence they found the residents struggling on the floor with a man identified as their son, Michael W. Boudreau, 35, of 13 Plum St., Springfield.

The officers saw that the elder man had a gun in his hand which he appeared to be trying to keep away from the younger man and Stoyak took the gun from his hand and secured it.

Paton wrote in a court document that Boudreau is the defendant of an abuse prevention order which prohibits contact with his father. He reports the 66-year-old victim said that his son “smashed out the front door window with a baseball bat and stated ‘I am going to kill you’” before the victim, reportedly a retired police officer from a nearby community, went to his bedroom to get a gun, “a Smith and Wesson .357″.

Assistant District Attorney Magali Montes, arguing in support of a pretrial detention hearing, wrote that “(The) defendant struck him with the bat and punched him. (The) victim fired a warning shot, but the defendant didn’t stop the assault” which continued until the arriving officers took control of the situation.

Paton reports the victim had “a large laceration on his head and there was a large amount of blood coming from his head and on the floor where they were

Gateway break away moves forward

By Peter Francis Staff Writer HUNTINGTON – Last night the Gateway Regional School Committee met for the first time since Gov. Deval L. Patrick signed a bill allowing the town of Worthington to unilaterally withdraw from the district.

Now, the Committee, whose membership is comprised of residents of all six remaining Gateway Regional communities and Worthington, finds itself in limbo, unsure whether to accept Worthington’s exit and move on or work together with the state’s Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) to fight the withdrawal.

“Yes, the governor signed the Worthington withdrawal, but there’s still a lot of questions with it – what date it’s enacted, whether it’s 60 days or 90 days,” said Committee Member Ruth Kennedy of Russell. “Right now, it’s just a signature on a piece of paper.”

Kennedy, the committee’s legislative liaison, said she is checking into the bill’s fine print.

“This is only a ‘may withdraw’ from the district, and then Worthington requests from the School Committee whether they can withdraw or not. Then we vote and send it out,” she said. “I will get all of the process – how it’s done, where it’s done, when it’s done, who to send it to – I should have it pretty well together for the next meeting.”

Committee Chairperson Gretchen Eliason said she attended a recent Friday evening information session put on by the Gateway Towns Advisory Committee (GTAC) and that many hilltown residents are viewing the situation as much more dire than she believes it actually is.

“Some people are imagining worst case scenarios that are very unlikely,” Eliason said before introducing the district’s legal counsel, Atty. Russell Dupere, who was on hand to address the committee’s questions and concerns.

Eliason listed several unfounded scenarios she has heard about, including that the Worthington withdrawal would require the

dissolution of the entire district, and that the withdrawal would require a new district agreement between the remaining six towns of Blandford, Chester, Huntington, Middlefield, Montgomery and Russell.

Eliason said both of these scenarios aren’t likely to occur and deferred to Dupere for the details, who summarized what will happen next.

“If they (DESE) feel that the district’s students can’t be educated sufficiently or Worthington’s students can’t be, then they could not allow it to happen,” he said. “It comes down more to whether Worthington is able to educate their kids, because the district is going to show they can.”

Dupere also put to bed the notion that Worthington’s departure would require a district reorganization.

“The goal (of the act) was to ensure Worthington could get out without following the regional agreement language,” he said.

“The act doesn’t affect the rest of the regional agreement at all, in my opinion.”

“When can we expect a decision from Worthington whether they’re going to withdraw or not?” asked Jeff Wyand, a committee member from Huntington.

Eliason said the process calls for both Worthington and the Gateway District to submit their education plans within 60 days of the governor’s signing the bill, at which time DESE Commissioner Chester Mitchell will review them.

“I would presume after the commissioner and DESE gives a decision to the town, I would presume they would want to act quickly,” Eliason said. “I don’t believe there’s any timeline defined in the legislation, no specific deadline for Worthington to notify the district.”

Wyand was also curious about whether Worthington’s decision to withdraw is time sensitive.

“If they choose not to leave this year, can they decide to leave next year or the year See Gateway, Page 3

City digester project suffers setback

By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Since last winter, the City of Westfield has been setting in motion plans to become a more energy-efficient municipality, with a European-style anerobic digester among the investments it was hoping to make.

Now it appears that this ambitious project has hit a snag.

City Water Department Superintendent David Billips said Tuesday that the project’s progress has been hindered by grant qualification issues.

“We were hoping we’d be able to get some grant money from the state’s CEC (Clean Energy Center),” he said. “We sent in a grant application, but I heard back that we’re not eligible because we get our power from the Westfield G&E, a public utility, and they don’t pay into the renewable energy trust, which is what they fund those grants out of.

Basically we’re still in an investigatory stage.”

Billips said that the city is going back to the drawing board, and has consulted with other municipalities around the state which own and operate digesters.

“We’re doing more work on our own, looking into feasibility.” he said. “We’ve made a couple of visits. Fairhaven has a digester, we went out and looked at theirs.

We’re moving forward, just not as quickly as we’d hoped.”

“I went to a seminar in Cambridge about three or four weeks ago,” he continued.

“Deer Island has got a pilot program going

for coal digestion, which is one of the things we’re looking at. Nobody else in Massachusetts is doing coal digestion.”

Billips stated that farmers in western Mass. have begun utilizing the process as well.

“Theres a farm digester in Hadley.” he said. “It works pretty well for farmers, as obviously they have everything right there on site. They’re using it for their own waste, not really generating energy.”

The seminar Billips attended also featured a presentation by Jordan Dairy Farm of Rutland that built a digester that was implemented by the Casella Organic Group of Portland, Maine.

Jenn McDonnell, director of sales and marketing for Casella, said Tuesday that these digesters have really taken off across the pond.

“They’re an application of technology that’ve been around for awhile. Europe uses them quite extensively for a number of different types of waste treatments,” she said.

According to McDonnell, anerobic digesters are enclosed systems that use microorganisms to digest the foodwaste and, as a byproduct of their digestion, create several types of gas, including methane gas, which can be used to produce electricity.

“So essentially you combine food stock in an enclosed environment and microorganisms, or bugs as we call them, eat it up and produce biogas that we can combust into electricity and can also recover heat from,” she said. “Wastewater treatment plants use a

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Two City Council committees discussed the taking of 33 acres of farmland by eminent domain for construction of athletic fields last night, a process which will have a direct impact on the future of a proposal to construct a $26 million, 600-student school at the corner of Cross and Ashley streets.

The Finance Committee chairman, Ward 1 Councilor Christopher Keefe, opened the committee’s consider of the motion to approve $260,000 to finance the land taking from the Weilgus Trust, to not only the nine council members present, but also to other city officials and residents in attendance during the two-hour joint meeting with the Legislative & Ordinance Committee.

Holyoke residents Dan and Tom Smith, who own the Cross Street house where their mother resides and where they grew up, urged the council to defeat the land acquisition, a vote which would kill the Ashley Street school construction project that they oppose.

The Smiths, and other Cross Street residents, sued the city for violation of Article 97 in Superior Court and won a stay on the school construction project.

Hampden Superior Court Judge Tina Page issued the temporary restraining order in early September, 2012 after a motion, filed by several residents of Ashley and Cross streets, contended that the city is violating state and federal law by using part of the Cross Street playground for the $26 million school project. The residents filed the suit earlier this year, charging that the city is violating Article 97 of the Massachusetts General Law which sets preservation protection for open-space land.

The injunction issued by Page is limited to the playground land being incorporated into the 96,000-squarefoot, 600-student school building project. That land will be used for subsurface infiltration of storm water collected off the building and for a recreational area.

Last night Tom Smith questioned the need to acquire the Weilgus Trust property, actively-farmed land that has been in the family for several generations.

“I’d like to ask the City Council members why there is such a dire need to acquire active farm land from an elderly lady who gets income from the rent of that property,” Smith said.

That question struck a chord with several members of the City Council in attendance.

City Solicitor Susan Phillips said the city has complied with the Article 97 conversion to replace 1.37 See Land Taking, Page 3

Bike trail land takings supported

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Legislative & Ordinance Committee voted last night to give the full City Council a positive recommendation to approve two orders of taking of real estate tonight to construct an access ramp from the Columbia Greenway bike path to Coleman Avenue.

City Engineer Mark Cressotti said that the City Council had voted last year to take the former rail spur that once served the Strathmore Paper Company. Commercial Distributing Company was the last business using the rail spur when the city acquired the property in 1997.

The acquisition of the spur would have linked the rail trail with Broad Street near the Boys & Girls Club, Amelia Park and the Children’s Museum complex next to the South Middle School.

Cressotti said that following the council’s action to initiate purchase of the rail spur from the current owner, Sullivan Transportation, Commercial Distributing approached city officials, seeking to buy a section of the spur to have access to a commercial building on the north side of the former rail spur to expand its business. Commercial Distributing‘s present facility is located along the south side of the spur.

“Mayor Knapik is sensitive to commercial development,” Cressotti said, “So now the city is looking to take a much smaller section of the former rail spur, looking to provide access to Coleman Avenue.”

Cressotti said that Sullivan Transportation is interested in divesting of the spur property and that after the city takes the section of the spur to construct a ramp on the west side of the Columbia Greenway, will negotiate a transaction with Commercial Distributing for the remainder of the spur property.

Ward 2 Councilor Ralph Figy, in whose ward much of the Columbia Greenway is located, said the west spur will greatly reduce traffic on the spur from the rail trail to East Silver Street.

“This is part of the answer the Gold Street neighbors are looking for, a west side spur,” Figy said.

“The Gold Street residents are very happy with this acquisition and it clears the way for some commercial development.”

Ohio teen scoops 3-foot carp from flooded street NORTH ROYALTON, Ohio (AP) — A northern Ohio teenager is reeling in attention for a big catch after he spotted a 3-foot carp swimming in receding floodwaters on his street and scooped it into his arms as his mother caught the scene on video.

North Royalton resident Jake Sawyer, 16, waded through more than ankle-deep water as he stalked the big fish in the dark Monday night and eventually trapped it.

First he tried to throw a towel over it to stun it. He said when that didn’t work, he tried to push it toward a curb.

“I just slowly put my hand on it, and then once it got comfortable with me, I just kind of bear-hugged it and lifted it up,” he told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

Sawyer said heavy rains that day had caused flash-flooding as high as his mailbox, and he suspects the large grass carp slipped out of a nearby pond as the water See Carp, Page 3

Land Taking acres of the Cross Street playground with the proposed purchase of 33 acres from the Weilgus Trust.

“It’s a three-step process,” Phillips said. “The first step was to get approval from the National Park Service to agree with the city’s conversion process. The second step is before the council, to take the land through eminent domain and the third step is to get the state Legislature’s approval.”

Phillips said that if the Weilgus family is not satisfied with the $260,000 purchase price, based upon an appraisal of the property, it can appeal that figure in Superior Court. “(Alice) Weilgus has the right to go to court and argue for a higher number,” Phillips said.

School Superintendent Suzanne Scallion urged the City Councilors to act on the Weilgus land taking so the Ashley Street elementary school construction

Continued from Page 1 can move forward to meet the needs of the district.

“If you want to leave footprints in the future, don’t drag your feet,” Scallion said. “This is about the future of the city.”

Scallion said the district has overcrowded classrooms and out-dated facilities, a situation that will become even more critical when the lease for the Juniper Park School, a state owned building on the campus of Westfield State University, expires in June of 2015.

“We will never have a perfect consensus,” Scallion said. “Other urban districts have many downtown schools that are even tighter than this project. It’s time to let go of that issue.”

Scallion said the defeat of the land acquisition could lead to the Massachusetts School Building Administration cancelling its support for the project which would have long-term

effects on the city, including the requirement to return about $1.4 million to that agency.

Ward 2 Councilor Ralph Figy, in whose ward the land conversion and school project are both located, said the MSBA process could also affect accreditation of Westfield High School which needs a $7 million science wing addition to bring it into compliance, a project that the city cannot afford to do without MSBA financial assistance.

“If it loses accreditation, our kids aren’t going anywhere for college,” Figy said.

The Finance Committee voted 2-0 to give a positive recommendation to the $260,000 appropriation for the land taking and referred the issue to the L&O which voted to keep it in committee to get additional information from the Law Department.

The amended land acquisition was before the City Council for a vote when the East Silver and Gold Street residents spoke in opposition to the east rail trail access during public participation last month. The Council voted to table the west spur vote until members could get additional information.

The City Council, on a positive recommendation from the Finance Committee, voted at its last meeting to approve the $19,600 to purchase the two parcels of land to building the access to Coleman Avenue and Bliss Street at its last meeting.

McDonnell spoke of the Maine cities of Lewiston and Auburn, who implemented an anerobic digester at their shared wastewater plant about a year ago.

“Wastewater treatment is a pretty energy intensive process, so producing energy on site can be valuable and really economical,” she said. “Farm digesters are different. They combine manure from the dairy operation with farm food waste.”

“They’re capital intensive, for sure. Theres a number of different pieces to the system – pumps, tanks, covers, piping, engines and controls,” she said. “They really are pretty sophisticated from a technological perspective, and therefore, they are a significant investment.”

McDonnell said that the farm projects which Casella is involved in average out at about $3 million each, but that she didn’t know what a wastewater digester would cost.

“I would imagine they would cost a little bit more,” she said. “It depends on what kind of infrastructure is already at the site and how big you want the digester, and the engine, to be.”

Despite Westfield’s ineligibility for CEC grants, Ed Colletta of the Commonwealth’s Department of Environmental Protection said that the city can apply for a state loan this summer that could provide significant funding for the project.

“It’s a state revolving fund, which is money that comes in from the federal government, and it’s also state money,” he said Wednesday. “They’re used to award two percent, low interest loans over 20 years for cities and towns’ water and sewer districts.”

They’re one of the pieces connected to wastewater treatment plants,” he said. “You take that sludge from the treatment plant, you put it into an AD facility, the little bugs do their thing, and this can result in renewable energy that can run the plant.”

Colletta said that the state announced $547 million in loans in March, and that awards can range between $150,000 to $200,000 for planning projects, all the way up to between $20 and $25 million for fully completed treatment plants.

Regarding the number of applications the Commonwealth receives for these loans, Colletta stated that they “get quite a few.”

“We issued around 80 communities or regional water districts that got $547 million worth of loans, 54 or 57 projects funded this year.” he said. “There is an application that needs to be filled out and turned in between June and August,” Colletta continued.

“Throughout the fall and into early next year, we’ll be reviewing all the applications. Usually around the holidays, we put out a list of those that look like they’ll get funded.”

“There’s nothing (in the act) about what happens if they miss that date,” he said of the 60-day time frame to submit education plans to DESE. “If the parties don’t do it within 60 days, there’s no language saying this goes on forever. They have to meet that timeline.”

Huntington Finance Committee member Darlene McVeigh stated that the district may be in limbo well into next year.

“Our understanding is that the Governor signed the bill on the seventh, and we haven’t determined whether it becomes law in 60 or 90 days,” she said, citing a recent presentation given at Huntington’s Stanton Hall. “Depending upon when he signed it, you have 60 days to send in the education plans, then DESE has 60 days… if you start adding this up, it could be 180 days if DESE decides to not to give it’s opinion until deadline. So you’re talking mid-next year.”

McVeigh cited sections of legislation, specifically the withdrawal agreement, as key points of contention.

“We need to get a timeline, what the School Committee feels is their timeline,” she said.

“I don’t think we can wait.

Summer is approaching, and it does get harder and harder to get ahold of people.

A sitting member of the GTAC, McVeigh added that that body has recommended that the school committee and administration begin conversations with member town officials about future updates regarding a withdrawal.

“The towns are going to want

“I think the residents are concerned that all options are explored by individual towns,” she said, “but without any additional permanent funding, $639,000 has already been figured as a six to seven percent overall increase to the towns assessments.”

“You have towns like Chester who are already over $20 per $1,000. (Proposition) 2.5 limits them to $25. They’re getting pretty close, low on free cash,” McVeigh said. “They estimate within two years, they could be

filing for bankruptcy.”

Eliason said she hoped the committee will consider the creation of a schedule, while Dupere advised not to wait to begin looking ahead.

“You have 60 days. I would start planning now,” he said. “If you wait until you figure out when the legislation is finalized… you know it’s going to be. Most likely Worthington will submit a letter saying they’re withdrawing. So if you know it is all happening, I’d start planning for it now.”

Bill Clinton: ‘Nothing’ to Rove remarks

By Lucy McCalmont Politico.com Former President Bill Clinton on Wednesday defended his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, from a number of attacks she has faced, including her response to Benghazi and recent questions about her health, saying he was “dumbfounded” by suggestions of brain damage.

“There’s nothing to it. I was sort of dumbfounded,” Clinton said during remarks at the Peter G. Petersen Foundation’s Fiscal Summit. He added, “First they said she faked her concussion, and now they say she is auditioning for a part on ‘The Walking Dead.’ I mean, you know, whatever it takes.”

Clinton laughed when moderator Gwen Ifill asked about Karl Rove’s comments regarding a blood clot the former first lady suffered in 2012 and whether she might have actually suffered a brain injury. Clinton said his wife is in great shape, but he said it was a terrible concussion that took six months of very serious work to get over.

“Look, she works out every week, she’s strong, she’s doing great. As far as I can tell, she’s in better shape than I am, she certainly seems to have more stamina now,” he said. “If she does [have brain damage], then I must be in really tough shape, because she’s still quicker than I am.”

However, Clinton said such attacks are “part of the deal” and that he expects more from Republicans.

“First of all, I got to give [Rove] credit, that embodies that old saying, ‘Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds,’” Clinton said.

“It’s just the beginning. They’ll get better and better at it,” he added, when asked if this is part of a strategy to bring up Hillary Clinton’s age if she runs in 2016.

But the former president didn’t seem to rule out the larger question it raises about a candidate’s health.

“When a question is asked, it has to be answered in a serious fashion, if it raises a serious issue, even in a ridiculous way,” Clinton said. “After that, you just have to trust the people to go on and get back to their business of what’s really in the public interest.”

Clinton also defended Hillary Clinton’s response to Benghazi, which has been another source of attack from the right.

“In my opinion, Hillary did what she should have done, she impaneled a very high-level review committee,” Clinton said.

He noted the panel included former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen and diplomat Tom Pickering.

“They looked into what was wrong; they gave 29 recommendations; she took them and started implementing them,” Clinton added.

Clinton said the last time “we had one of these things made public” was during his presidency in 1998, following a series of attacks on U.S. embassies in Africa.

“And so most Americans don’t even know how many American diplomatic personnel were killed when President [George W.] Bush was president,” he said, adding that the public would not be aware of any review or action, if any were taken.

“My advice to everybody involved is to be not defensive and to realize what this is and to answer the questions,” Clinton said.

“No one had advance notice that this was going to happen, as nearly as I can tell,” he said. “So I just think that we should let the report speak for itself.”

Downing secures support for local priorities in FY15 Senate Ways & Means Budget BOSTON - State Senator Benjamin B. Downing (D Pittsfield), a member of the powerful Senate Committee on Ways & Means, announced yesterday that he secured funding in the Committee’s Fiscal Year 2015 spending proposal for a number of his priorities. The Committee’s budget, a $36.25 Billion plan, was released yesterday morning during an 11am Executive Session at the State House.

The following items contained in the Senate Ways & Means budget are significant to Downing’s district, and as such were a part of his FY15 budget agenda: * $70 Million for the Regional School District Transportation - achieving a 90 percent reimbursement rate; * $27.7 Million for the Payment In Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) account, representing a $1 Million increase from FY14; * $17.5 Million for an additional 3,000 income-eligible childcare slots for families statewide; * $14 Million for the Massachusetts Emergency Food Assistance Program; * $9.5 Million for the Massachusetts Cultural Council; * $200K to support the operations and programs of model community coalitions, such as the Northern Berkshire Community Coalition in North Adams; * $100K for Library Technology support and upgrades in communities with a population of less than 10,000 residents; * 8 percent increase in funding from FY14 for the Special Education Circuit Breaker, achieving full funding for this initiative; and a * 5 percent increase from FY14 funding for outreach and homelessness services for veterans, which will support local providers such as Soldier On. The Committee’s budget also includes a $2 Million reserve account to provide relief to parties involved in a newly formed regional vocational district or to mitigate municipal cost

increases associated with the withdrawal of a member from a regional school district. Downing advocated for this item in order to assist the remaining communities of the Gateway Regional School District (GRSD), should Worthington indeed withdraw its membership from GRSD, as authorized in special legislation this year.

Consistent with the Senate’s passage of long-term substance abuse recovery legislation yesterday, this budget also includes $18 Million in new supports for addiction services.

The Committee’s budget also includes various policy issues that Downing has worked on this session, including: * Authorization for MassDOT to make expenditures in excess of funds available for snow and ice removal costs in the upcoming winter; * Extension of the Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit program sunset date to 2022; * Authorizing the direct shipment of wine to consumers in Massachusetts as well as the ability for in-state farmer wineries to provide on-premises same wine tastings to prospective customers; * Clarification that the Commissioner of Public Safety is able to waive all, or a portion of, fines levied on elevator owners/operators in matters of valid safety inspection certificates, and further clarifies that the Commissioner may waive any and all fines assessed or appealed on or after January 1, 2013; and * Authorization for the Department of Housing and Community Development to forward-fund up to $20 Million to eligible entities that administer the federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).

The deadline for Senators to file budget amendments for consideration is tomorrow at 3 p.m. The Senate’s budget debate is expected to begin on Tuesday. Fiscal Year 2015 begins on July 1, 2014.

Student ‘hopes and dreams’

By Stephanie Simon Politico.com Each year, more than 2 million middle school and high school students fill out comprehensive surveys for the National Research Center for College & University Admissions detailing their academic records, their athletic skills, their religious leanings, their aspirations.

In short, it’s “their hopes and dreams,” said Ryan Munce, the group’s vice president. He compiles profiles on each child.

Then he sells them.

The recent flurry of interest in updating federal privacy law focuses on preventing children’s personal information from being sold without parental consent. Left unnoticed: The huge and lucrative market of peddling profiles with student consent — even when that consent may not be entirely informed.

Munce sells student profiles to colleges, summer camps, test-prep firms and other companies eager to promote education-related products and services to students. The revenue supports a staff of 83 at the NRCCUA. But Munce said it also helps students. The in-depth surveys “allow us to be the smartest guidance counselor in the world,” connecting participating teens to colleges and camps interested in kids just like them, Munce said.

He is so bullish on the model, he’s planning to start gathering exponentially more student information by offering free career interest surveys to every high-school freshman in the country.

The NRCCUA surveys are typically distributed to teens in school: Each year, 55,000 teachers participate, Munce said.

Many kids also put their personal profiles on the market — whether they realize it or not — when they take college entrance exams.

Students taking the SAT, ACT, Advanced Placement exams and other standardized tests are asked to check off a box if they want to receive information from colleges or scholarship organizations.

Depending on the exam, at least 65 percent — and as many as 85 percent — of test takers check that box, according to the College Board and ACT. That consent allows the College Board and ACT, both nonprofits, to market students’ personal profiles for 37 cents apiece.

Those profiles can include information about the students’ grades and academic coursework — and also religion, ethnicity, citizenship status and expected need for financial aid in college. The ACT also sells information on family income,

parents’ education levels and student disabilities.

Because the profile data does not come from students’ official school records, but gleaned from their answers to survey questions attached to the exam, no parental consent is needed.

Federal privacy law only requires parental consent for the release of school records or the collection of data from children under 13.

ACT spokesman Ed Colby wouldn’t give exact figures but said the sale of student profiles accounted for less than 5 percent of ACT’s total revenue, which topped $300 million in the fiscal year ending mid-2012. The College Board, which took in nearly $760 million that year, would not disclose revenue from its Student Search Service.

Both organizations were sued last fall by an Illinois woman who said she was upset to learn that her personal information was sold for profit. It turned out she had never even taken a College Board exam and the case was dropped earlier this year.

But the College Board did recently update its privacy policy, after Vice President John McGrath told POLITICO it might not have been clear to students exactly how much information is shared with third parties.

(Also on POLITICO: Who watches the watchers? Big Data goes unchecked) Both the ACT and SAT sell the personal information only to accredited postsecondary institutions, which can include forprofit colleges, nonprofit scholarship organizations and select educational programs.

Other brokers, however, peddle student data more widely.

The Educational Research Center of America, for instance, distributes its lengthy surveys in schools, requesting that teachers hand them out to “ALL of your students in ALL of your classes, grades 8 and above.”

The surveys range far beyond students’ grades and college aspirations. Eighth-graders are asked if anyone in their household owns a PlayStation, an iPhone, a Wii or a BlackBerry.

They’re asked how many computers are in their house.

ERCA, which did not return calls or emails seeking comment, sells the data to colleges, universities and businesses that seek to market products to students.

It also shares students’ personal information with ASLmarketing, a commercial data broker. ASL in turn sells the profiles to companies marketing credit cards, fast food, electronics, clothing, travel and more. The broker boasts that it has records on 4.3 million high school students — nearly all of them, according to its website, sure to be “in a buying frenzy.”

Staind rawks Mohegan

By Mike Augusti Correspondent UNCASVILLE – Local boys Staind, in the middle of a summer tour, brought their hard Rawk show to Mohegan Sun on Thursday night. The band is back together after a brief hiatus that led to the departure of long time drummer, Jon Wysocki. During this time singer Aaron Lewis released a country record and toured endlessly in support of it. Now back together, Staind has hit the road for a full blown tour and also headlining some large summer concert festivals throughout the United States.

Kicking off the show with Eyes Wide Open, Staind came ready to Rawk. Lead guitarist Mike Mushok, was uncontrollable as he bounded around the stage with endless energy. Falling came next and was followed by Right Here, the band has not lost a step during the lengthy layoff.

Singer Aaron Lewis, fighting a cold which almost led to the show being canceled, still sounded amazing.

The band played a number of songs throughout the night off their most recent album release. The self-titled album released in 2011 has that heavier edge reminiscent of some of the band’s earlier releases, but still showed the melodic side that the band has been known for. Staind moved right in to their hit song So Far Away, while getting the audience involved in a singalong for the chorus. Going back to a heavier tone and adding in some growling vocals, the band ripped through the song Spleen and provided some great energy throughout the arena.

The set slowed down a bit as singer Lewis took the stage solo for a great acoustic rendition of his song, Home.

Home (also released as Country Boy on Lewis’s country release, Town Line), pays homage to Lewis’ ideals and love for his home state of Massachusetts. Lewis is a phenomenal songwriter and extremely versatile writing slow acoustic songs, extreme Rawk songs and everything in between.

Lewis threw in a few digs about a former bandmate, while introducing the songs Not Again and Paper Wings, adding the comment “I wrote this about a drummer”.

During a break between songs, Lewis mentioned that he has brought back his charity event to Look Park in Northampton and will be doing an acoustic set with the entire band. The charity is called It Takes a Community, look it up as it is for a great cause and a great opportunity to see the band in a stripped down setting.

After a quick break, Staind came roaring back for the start of a three song encore with their classic, Mudshovel.

A pounding song that showcased the thunder of drummer

Sal Giancarelli and bassist Johnny April, this is Staind at their best. The band closed the night with their hit song, It’s Been Awhile, which again had the audience singing along in karaoke mode and For You. Staind is back! Even with Lewis nursing a bad cold, both he and the band sound great. Although, due to his condition, the set was cut short (running about 75 minutes) as some of the songs that were played on previous nights, were eliminated.

Personally, I am looking forward to the band putting out some new music and putting together another tour. I am also looking forward to hearing more from Lewis on his country career as clearly he can do both styles of music extremely well.

Rob Thomas thrills Mohegan Sun crowd

By Mike Augusti Correspondent UNCASVILLE – Rob Thomas opened his show at Mohegan Sun on Friday night telling the audience to sit back and relax because he was going to be up there for the next two hours. Well, two hours it was and when it was the over, he could have done another hour and that would have been just fine with the fans in attendance.

The stage set up was completely barebones, consisting of a couple of chairs for two guitarists and a grand piano, but that kind of summed up what the night was all about: music. It was an acoustic evening with plenty of stories mixed in with some impersonations and some occasional jokes. And no, I am not talking about a comedian… this was the lead singer of Matchbox Twenty and musical superstar Rob Thomas performing.

Thomas opened the show with five straight songs from

his solo career including Mockingbird, Fallin’to Pieces, Sunday Morning New York Blue, Her Diamonds, and Getting Late (which included a rendition of Elvis’s That’s Alright Mama. Each song brought with it its own little story that Thomas shared throughout the night.

Thomas talked about his time writing songs with Mick Jagger and then proceeded to do, in his words a “spot on” imitation of the Rolling Stones legend. This brought a roar of laughter from the crowd as he then played the song they co-wrote, Disease.

The set was filled with both Thomas solo and Matchbox Twenty material that included, Lonely No More, 3 A.M.(a song about his mom’s battle with cancer), Someday, Bent and I Think We Feel Good Together. Some other highlights included a take on the 1980’s Howard Jones song, No One is To Blame. During his hit, This is How a Heart Breaks, Thomas added a

STANLEY PARK

Rob Thomas verse of the Tommy Tutone hit, 867-5309, Jenny.

Towards the end of the evening, Thomas poked a little fun at full-blown concert production and told the audience, “the encore starts now, so I am going to save you the five minutes of waiting for me to come back out and just do another song. So when I finish the next couple of songs, I am leaving”.

This was great to hear as the whole encore thing has really

run its course.

The second to last song was one that Thomas recorded with Santana, Smooth. Here again, Thomas showed his comedic side by doing another impression of Santana that included a story of the very first time they met with Santana wearing a banana yellow suit and hat. Needless to say the story had the crowd laughing and wanting more.

Thomas ended the set with a Matchbox tune, Bright Lights. This was a fitting end to a evening of well-written songs, excellent musicianship and a bond that Rob Thomas formed with the audience by sharing some many stories from his life.

Rob Thomas is one of this era’s great songwriters and he is worth going to see more than one time. If you are a fan of him or Matchbox Twenty’s music and you haven’t seen them live before, then you are truly missing out. Each time I have seen a performance, solo or band, it is some of the best sounding live music I have heard from any performer.

Now do yourself a favor and go check them out!

By Chris Putz Staff Writer HUNTINGTON – The Gateway Regional High School baseball team is tourney-bound! The Gateway Regional High School baseball team is tourney bound!

It bears repeating that Gateway punched its postseason ticket with an incredible come-from-behind victory Tuesday at home. The Gators rallied for seven runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to defeat Sabis, 11-10.

Tommy Ruffo scored Calvin Dowers for the game-

winner on a well-placed hit through the right side of the infield.

“It was an unbelievable seventh inning from our guys not giving up,” Gateway coach Gary St. Peter said.

“I’ve never seen a team throw a switch (like this), but these guys did it.”

Gateway (10-5, 5-2) entered its half of the seventh trailing 10-4.

Ruffo, Brett Turbin, and Justin Edinger hit consecutive singles to lead off the rally. Geoffrey Sobotka (2-for-4, 6 RBIs) plated all

three runners with a basesclearing triple. Pinch-hitter Joe Jones and Everett Warner both reached on consecutive errors to load the bases.

Calvin Dowers also reached on an error, and a run scored.

Willis Pollard knotted the game at 10-10 with a two-run double. Ruffo came up to bat for the second time in the inning, and the rest is … history.

Gateway pitcher Josh Baillargeon, who had one strikeout and one walk in one inning of relief, earned the victory.

Curtis Dowers opened the game on the mound for Gateway before exiting the game with an injury, joining an already crowded list of wounded Gators. Middle reliever James Degray managed to keep the team within striking distance.

“We’ve got some nagging injuries … but we’ve got guys that are filling in, working hard, and doing the right things at the right time.”

Johnny Haskell also delivered at the plate for Gateway, going 2-for-4 with two runs and an RBI.

WHS to 17-0; Tigers roar

By Chris Putz Staff Writer WEST SPRINGFIELD – 3 … 2 … 1. Let the countdown begin!

The Westfield High School softball team recorded its 17th straight win, a 3-0 shutout of host West Springfield. The Bombers need to win just three more games to complete an undefeated regular season.

“Overall, it was a good win, a league win for us,” Westfield coach Joe Stella said. “It was good to get it under our belts.”

Westfield pitcher Sarah McNerney enjoyed one of her most productive outings on the mound. McNerney allowed just three hits in a complete game shutout. She recorded nine strikeouts, and walked none.

The offense was distributed among several

Westfield batters.

Jules Sharon (run scored), Maddy Atkocaitis, and Lexi Minicucci collected two hits apiece for Westfield. Bombers’ Jesse Pratt (walk, run), Kaitlyn Puza (RBI), and Victoria Camp each had one hit. Karly Mastello had an RBI. Westfield will enjoy four days off before returning to the field at Amherst on Monday, followed by a senior day home against Minnechaug (Wednesday, 3 p.m.), and the regular season finale at Agawam (May 23).

Easthampton three-hits Rams Easthampton 2, Southwick-Tolland 1 SOUTHWICK – Southwick managed just three hits – one each from Sam Burzynski (run), Jenn Yellin (RBI), and Katelyn Silvia.

Rams’ pitcher Emily Lachtara was the

Gateway’s Sammy Dame is involved in a close play at first base. (Photo by Chris Putz) tough-luck loser, scattering seven hits through seven innings. Lachtara allowed two runs (one earned), struck out 11 batters and walked none.

In Junior Varsity action, Southwick fell 5-1.

Indians blank Gators Ware 10, Gateway 0 WARE – Gateway clamped down on defense in the second half of the game, and turned a 1-3-2 double play from pitcher Audrey Gamble to Alyssa Moreau at first to catcher Becca Williams.

Jordan Cooper (2-for-3) and Arielle Baillargeon (1-2, walk) led the Gators at the plate.

Parsons, Tigers down McCann

By Chris Putz Staff Writer NORTH ADAMS – Westfield Voc-Tech pitcher Jake Parsons pitched a three-hitter and recorded 11 strikeouts to earn a big road win at McCann Tech, 5-1.

The game was tied 1-1 until the sixth inning when Reid Phillips doubled, Parsons and Tyler French both earned walks, and Jordan Nelson (pinch-running at third base) scored on a suicide squeeze to result in Voc-Tech’s eventual game-winning run.

Walter Halluck tacked on some insurance runs with a bases-clearing double.

The Tigers defense was also sharp.

Nick Clegg played a phenomenal game in right field, turning a double play with runners at first and second and no outs. Nick Wood also made some great plays at shortstop.

Voc-Tech is in the midst of a 3-game, 4-day road trip that also includes a game at Franklin Tech.

“No time to rest,” Voc-Tech coach Kyle Dulude said. “We really need to just turn it up.”

Annie’s Mailbox

By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

What do you think?

Dear Annie: I’m the youngest of 10 siblings. Most of my brothers and sisters are much older, and I was raised primarily with “Sara and Tina,” who often bullied and hit me.

Consequently, my mother would not leave me alone with them, and my sisters grew to resent the closeness I had with Mom. When we grew up, I was the one who took responsibility for my parents when they were sick and needed money. I put myself through college and established an excellent career. My parents admired this, but Sara and Tina became passive-aggressive toward me. They voiced their dislike of my husband, and they never called or included me in family outings.

I have always loved my nieces and nephews and have been attentive to their birthdays and celebrations. But when my 4-year-old daughter died, neither Tina nor Sara called to see how we were or offered to take my young son for some time away from his depressed parents. When I asked them why, they became defensive and said I always make them feel inferior.

My older siblings agree that Sara and Tina are jealous of me, but they made no effort to intervene and simply told me to ignore them. So I did.

Sara, Tina and I live in the same city. Four years ago, I had another baby, and they never came to see us. At that point, I cut them off altogether.

Yesterday, I received an invitation to a family reunion. I don’t want to go. I don’t consider these people my family any longer, and it will only hurt to see that I’ve always been the outsider.

My son is 12 and my daughter is 7, and they don’t know any of my siblings. What do you think? -- Thought I Was Part of a Large Family Dear Thought: When there is a large age gap between siblings, it can be difficult to form a close bond. And because you seem to have focused all of your efforts solely on Tina and Sara, you believe that none of your siblings has any interest in you.

While you are not obligated to attend a family reunion, this is a lot of family to ignore.

We suggest you attend, but give Tina and Sara only a brief acknowledgment, and then try to spend time getting to know your other siblings and their children. You might find more common ground there, and your children might be closer in age to their grandchildren. If you still feel like an outsider after this, any additional contact is unnecessary.

Dear Annie: My friends and I play cards once a week at “Jennie’s” house. However, when the phone rings, she answers it while the game is in progress.

Do you think she should get into a lengthy conversation while we sit there and wait for the conversation to end? These are not emergency calls. I don’t feel comfortable confronting her about this. How can I handle this tactfully? -- A Friend Dear Friend: You already know that having a lengthy phone conversation while entertaining others is rude. Before you begin playing next time, all of you should discuss adding a rule saying that anyone who stays on the phone longer than 60 seconds must withdraw from the game or forfeit her turn until the conversation is over. But we also notice that you are meeting at Jennie’s and nowhere else. Why not alternate homes and give her a break?

Dear Annie: Tell “Anonymous” to call her local veterinarian to see whether he has a use for the empty prescription pill containers. Our vet was very happy to take all of the pill bottles we could give him. -- Barb Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.

HINTS FROM HELOISE BITTER BAKING Dear Heloise: I’ve been using the same cornbread recipe for years, but my last batch of cornbread had such a bitter taste that I couldn’t eat it. The only thing I had done differently was use a new brand of baking powder.

I did some research and found that the culprit was sodium aluminum sulfate in the baking powder.

While most people might not notice the flavor at all (my husband didn’t), others are more sensitive to the taste of aluminum.

Some baking-powder brands contain sodium aluminum sulfate, and some don’t. If your baked goods have an unpleasant metallic tang, check the ingredients list on your baking powder.

I’ll definitely look more closely the next time I grocery-shop.

-- L.R., via email STUCK EGGS Dear Heloise: I always check egg cartons for broken eggs in the store, but sometimes there is a small crack that is not visible, causing eggs to stick in the carton. I found that pouring some lemon juice in the carton around the stuck eggs loosens them overnight. -- David D. in Virginia This is a good way to loosen them, but know that you can even use plain water and they will loosen! -- Heloise

YOUR HOROSCOPE Contract Bridge

By Jaqueline Bigar

DOG EAT DOUG

Brian Anderson

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, May 15, 2014: This year you enter a period where you choose to work with others more on a one-on-one level. There is a tendency to have misunderstandings. More often than not, you’ll need to clear the air.

Your strong drive creates greater endurance. The end result is success. If you are single, you meet people with greater ease. Be careful not to dive into a relationship. Take your time, making sure your choice will work for you. If you are attached, the two of you often will be found together. You gain more insight into your interactions as well. By summer, you might want to spend more time at home. SAGITTARIUS understands you well.

ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH A risk will pay off in a surprising way. A discussion is long overdue. Be ready to move forward and let go of confusion. Ultimately, you will resolve the issue. Do not hold back as you have been. Allow your fiery nature to reveal itself. Tonight: Think “vacation.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Deal with a partner directly.

You can’t keep putting this situation on the back burner. The end results could surprise you, as there is likely to be an unexpected turn. As a result of the unexpected, you could gain a sudden insight.

Tonight: Opt for togetherness.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Others might assume more control than they have in a while. Share more of what you want from them.

Though someone could become quite difficult, he or she will respond eventually. This person values the tie between you. Tonight: Go with a different suggestion.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Defer to an associate who seems more grounded than he or she has been in a while. You have become rather familiar with having some uproar on the homefront. The responsible party might be willing to compromise; listen to what he or she shares. Tonight: Pace yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Your love of life comes out in nearly everything you do. Understand that someone might feel pressured by a situation that keeps causing you a bit of a problem. Let impulsiveness call the shots, at least for today. Unexpected news heads your way. Tonight: Let the fun begin.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Be more forthright and direct in how you are dealing with a family member, even if you view this person as cagey. A partner will appreciate the way you are handling a tension-laden situation. A boss or higher-up could be observing you as well. Tonight: At home.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You could be rather disassociated from what is going on. Your mind, though responsive to those in your present environment, seems to drift to a different person or place. Be as direct as possible when dealing with others. Clear up any confusion. Tonight: Be spontaneous.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Honor a financial agreement, even if there was or is confusion around it. A partner has similar concerns, but he or she is likely to proceed differently.

Coming to an agreement with this person could take significant effort on your part. Tonight: Play it low-key.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Beam in more of what you want. A certain element of excitement surrounds what you do. The unexpected could occur when dealing with a loved one. Maintain a sense of humor, and everything will go well. Be willing to put in extra hours. Tonight: Just be yourself.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Note what is going on behind the scenes. Follow your instincts when dealing with a family member. You could be more confused than you realize. Take your time addressing a problem, as it isn’t going anywhere. Try not to make a final decision just yet. Tonight: Order in.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Zero in on what you want.

Have a long-overdue conversation with someone you care about. This person

Cryptoquip

Crosswords

could be very excited to finally air out some issues. Tap into your creativity when the unexpected occurs. Tonight: Favorite people, favorite place.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You might want to have a discussion with a family member before you loosen up and relax. Be willing to invest more in your home life. Your environment can make all the difference in how you feel. Make that extra effort, and you will be happier. Tonight: A must appearance.

Hyper • Local

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

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