BRENT BEAN II
By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Rumors have circulated throughout the city for months that Mayor Daniel M. Knapik would be resigning as mayor before his current term expired. The departure of Jeff Daley from the position of Westfield’s City Advancement Officer at the end of March quelled the gossip as an example of people having their signals crossed, but the rumors have started again, this time with a departure date of July 1, 2014.
If true, Westfield City Clerk Karen Fanion says that the city council president would then take over as mayor, with some stipulations. “If the mayor resigns within the last six months of their term, the city council president takes over and there is no special election,” she said. “However, if the mayor resigns prior to six months, then that would require a special municipal election. In the meantime, the city council president would become acting mayor until that special election.” According to Westfield’s charter, the
city council president would do doubleduty, serving as both acting mayor and council president. In the event that the acting mayor runs and isn’t elected to a full term, they would then return to their previous capacity on the council. “Mayor Sullivan left prior to his term ending, and Charlie Medeiros took over that July,” she said. “So it has happened.” Sullivan was tapped by then-rookie Governor Deval L. Patrick in May 2007

District dress code details discussed By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The dust has settled from the controversial re-enforcement of the district’s dress code last fall, and now an effort is being made to ensure that similar actions are not deemed necessary again in the future. At a meeting of the Westfield School Committee Monday evening, Human Resources and Policy Subcommittee Chair Diane Mayhew spoke on that subcommittee’s progress on improving the dress code. “It’s still in the works. Hopefully we can have it completed for the fall,” said Mayhew. “We feel that the way the policy sits now is adequate, but does need a little bit more definition of specific items of clothing.” Mayhew listed as prohibited “low-slung trousers and muscle shirts” for male students, along with “bareback midriffs, short shorts and skirts”, which she said were “self-explainatory” and stated that the latter clothing items were “already in the policy.” “The decision on whether a child’s clothing is appropriate or not or disrupts educational purposes, will be made by the building principal or designee,” she said prior to referencing other changes the subcommittee has taken up. “Each individual building principal (will decide) which clothing items will be specific to their own buildings and levels, whether it be elementary, middle or high (school).” “It’ll be an ongoing discussion yearly, as clothing trends change,” Mayhew said. “It’s not a discussion that starts and stops. It’s continual.” “The other important thing is that the students themselves are going to be involved in discussions and decision-making,” said Westfield Superintendent Dr. Suzanne Scallion. Following Mayhew’s report, Finance Subcommittee Chair Brian Sullivan gave an update on the status of the district’s budget situation. “It was a very productive meeting,” Sullivan said of Monday’s Finance Subcommittee meeting held prior to the full School Committee meeting. “As far as the timeframe, we have a meeting with the Mayor on Thursday, but we don’t have set numbers from the state yet. As it always is this time of year – early May to early June – the budget is moving a little bit.” Sullivan stated that he spoke with Westfield Mayor
By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – The Southwick-Tolland-Granville Regional School Committee approved hiring J & L Construction Company of Springfield to construct and complete the track project at the Southwick-TollandGranville Regional High School (STGRHS) Tuesday night. J & L was the lowest of four qualifying bids received. Kurt Lavaway of Strategic Building Solutions, project manager for the campus-wide renovation project, said J & L bid $713,500. The next lowest bid was Gagliarducci Construction, Inc. of Springfield at $748,000. “We’re going to qualify the two lowest bidders,” Lavaway said. The committee voted to contract with Gagliarducci should J & L not complete its contract. Superintendent Dr. John Barry said the lowest bid was roughly $25,000 over the projected budget. Construction of the track is set to take place this summer. A former Southwick student who remains anonymous offered to donate $400,000
By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Westfield Gas & Electric Department is submitting its annual energy cost estimate to city officials working on the 2015 fiscal year budget, with an asterisk this year because of the volatility of natural gas prices. The energy cost projections are intended for city and School Department officials as a tool when building their departmental budgets and are based upon the historic consumption of electricity and natural gas, with market pricing factored into the equation. The energy cost projections usually include a relatively small margin of error, percentages spread plus or minus. This year’s electrical cost forecast has a plus 3 to 6 percent range left for wiggle room. That margin of error for the cost of municipal gas is plus 14 to 24 percent. The gas forecast factors in a projection of volatility in the price of natural gas, which is also impacting electrical generation because nearly half of the electricity generated in New England is by gas-fired turbine plants. The regional reliance on gas is only expected to increase dramatically, as coal-fired and nuclear plants in the region are taken offline, fueling even greater volatility of energy costs in the New England market, resulting in even high gas prices. During the severe winter weather this year, natural gas prices soared to more than $120 per million British Thermal Units (BTUs) up from about $5 per million BTU last summer. The spike was blamed on strong demand, a lack of pipeline systems, limited regional liquefied natural gas deliveries and inadequate storage. Energy prices in New England often are “very volatile and much higher than other parts of the country,” US Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz said recently in Hartford at a conference on New England energy issues. “A combination of many factors including a sustained cold 2014 winter and increased gas-fired electric generation created high levels of natural gas demand on already constrained gas transmission systems,” said WG&E General Manager Dan Howard, the report’s author. “These factors, many of which are expected to persist for several years, caused New England wholesale natural gas and power prices to exhibit unprecedented

By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – City residents will no longer have to wait for the semi-annual ‘drug take back’ days to dispose of unneeded medications with the installation of a collection container in the police department lobby. Formerly, city police participated in a nationwide program supported by the Drug Enforcement Administration which allowed persons to dispose of unwanted prescription drugs with no questions asked at participating police stations but that solution has drawbacks that are eliminated by the new option. Joe Rouse, the city’s director of public health, said recently that his department has a direct interest in helping residents safely dispose of controlled drugs as the common alternatives are potentially hazardous to the public health. He said that if a safe alternative is not available to the public, the usual options are either to flush unwanted drugs or include them with household trash. See Drugs, Page 5

Letter carrier food drive Saturday WESTFIELD – On Saturday, the National Association of Letter Carriers will conduct their annual food drive. The NALC, in conjunction with the United States Postal Service, will collect non-perishable food items to benefit local food pantries that distribute it to neighbors in need. Postal patrons will be asked to leave food items by their mailboxes, which will then be picked up by the letter carriers for distribution to the food pantries in their own cities and towns. All major cities and towns in western Massachusetts with uniformed letter carriers will be participating in the drive. This is the 22nd anniversary of the food drive. Nationally, this has been the largest one-day food collection in the world with 74 million pounds of food collected in 2013. Locally, Western Mass. Branch 46 delivered over 155,000 pounds to local food pantries. The NALC food drive’s 21-year national total is nearly 1.3 billion pounds.

Volunteers cleanup river By Mark Damon and Sheryl Becker WRWA cleanup coordinators WESTFIELD – Spring is a wonderful time to celebrate the beautiful natural heritage of our region and an even better time to step in and clean it up. The Westfield River Watershed Association (WRWA) is so fortunate to have the help of hard-working volunteers who pitch in each year and help clear away trash from the watershed. This spring was no different. In Westfield on a rainy, chilly Saturday in late April, we saw 38 citizens show up in the rain to help haul out debris from various locations along the river, including more than 20 volunteers from Lane Construction. Lane workers have been helping us with our river cleanups for several years and they even bring coffee for everyone! They were joined by ten dedicated students from Westfield State University and eight other caring residents who all got wet and muddy and still maintained good cheer and energy as they cared for their river. From the cleanup sites in Westfield, Russell and Huntington, the volunteers retrieved 69 bags of trash, a large teddy bear, 22 tires, a female mannequin torso, a half television, as well as wood, metal and large plastic pieces. In Agawam the next day, 21 volunteers, including five Westfield State University students and members of the Agawam Conservation Commission, gathered at Pynchon Point for their assignments.

Mansfield lifts ban on ball games in street MANSFIELD, Mass. (AP) — It’s legal again for children to play ball games in the streets of Mansfield. Town residents on Wednesday voted to eliminate a 1931 town bylaw that barred street games that required the use of balls. The Sun Chronicle (http://bit.ly/ QhMDKz ) reports that resident Terry Longley wrote the citizen’s petition to lift the ban after neighbors called police on some teenagers playing baseball in the street last July. Police broke up the game, saying they were acting in accordance with the 1931 bylaw. Under the amended bylaw, street games are OK as long as they are safe. One resident said: “We should let kids be kids.”

Political Continued from Page 1 tobecometheCommonwealth’s Commission of Conservation and Recreation. Sullivan, now the State’s Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs, left the position to Medeiros, then the city council president. Medeiros declined to run in the special election that fall, a race that was won by Michael Belanger, who defeated City Councilor Brent B. Bean II for the full two-year term. Bean, the current city council president, would be the heir-apparent in the event that Knapik were to step down as mayor. Bean was elected to serve as city council president as the city’s legislative body began its current term in January. Councilor Brian Sullivan served as city council president prior to that election. “The next person would be the highest ranking at-large candidate,” Bean said regarding who fills the acting mayor’s old seat on the council. “The council may appoint a pro-temp person in the meantime, but they would then elect a new city council president, should the acting mayor win a full term.” Knapik won his third term as mayor in a hotly contested race against a challenger new to city politics, Michael L. Roeder, LTC, US Army retired. Knapik’s margin of victory was only 333 out of the 9,048 ballots cast by the eligible 23,882 voters in the city. The 37.89 percent voter turnout was the highest for a mayoral contest since 2007 when 41 percent of voters turned out for the mayoral contest between Bean and Belanger. Play of this particularly parochial parlor game may be moot. “To partially quote the great satirist of the 20th century, William Safire,” said Knapik this morning. “Much to the chagrin of the ‘nattering nabobs of negativism’ in town, and to the delight of my legion of supporters, I have no plans to resign and may, in fact, decide to run again.”

Continued from Page 1 to build a new track last fall and has increased that donation to accommodate higher costs than expected. “The donor has agreed to split the overage with the district,” Barry said. Four alternatives were included in the request but none were included in the lowest bids. The alternatives were a fence, storage shed, filling in triangles with track material, and a pole vault area. “It looks like we can’t afford the alternatives,” said Barry. “The fence will come out of the capital budget and for the storage shed, we’d like to have the woodworking class work on that.” Several months ago the committee voted to use unexpended funds toward the project and Barry stressed that there would be no cost to taxpayers for the project, which falls under the
category of a public works project. “We have been borrowing for capital improvements for a long time,” he said at the time of the transfer. “There are four years where we have unexpended balances. We’re paying the debt service and it has to be expended and can’t be used to pay down the debt.” The current track has greatly deteriorated. Barry said some other schools have requested to move meets scheduled at STGRHS to their own track. STGRHS Senior Gabrielle Strong, captain of the cross-country team, said the track is challenging. “It’s really hard to dig into the track because of the gravel,” said Strong. “Every step you take, you’re sliding backwards.” Strong said puddles are a major obstacle on the current track.

Energy Costs Continued from Page 1 price volatility. FY 2015 budget figures take these factors into consideration,” he said. That price volatility may have the most significant effect on the School Department which entered into a gas supply energy contract with the WG&E in 2012. That type of contract enabled gas customers with the ability to use either natural gas or #2 heating oil to obtain a lower price for natural gas. The WG&E then has the ability to order those dualfuel customers to burn oil when demand for natural gas is highest, saving the utility money by reducing the volume of gas that it needs to purchase at market prices. Municipal Light Board Commissioner Robert Sacco said that the energy forecast should suggest that budget planners factor in the cost of oil, as well as natural gas, when developing their 2015 budgets. The School Department was ordered to switch to heating oil on 11 days this past winter. “This is a false report in the sense that the School Department had to switch to oil, the cost of which is not reflected in this report,” Sacco said. “I think we have to put something in this report so the schools know they have to include exclusion days when they’ll be using oil in their budget.”

Harry Reid: Not all billionaires are alike By Jonathan Topaz Politico.com Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has for some time billed the Koch brothers as public enemy number one. But billionaire Republican donor Sheldon Adelson? He’s just fine, Reid says. “I know Sheldon Adelson. He’s not in this for money,” the Nevada Democrat said of Adelson, the Vegas casino magnate who reportedly spent close to $150 million to support Republicans in the 2012 presidential election. In an interview with MSNBC’s Chuck Todd that aired Thursday, the senator accused Charles and David Koch, major conservative donors, of flooding the political system with donations just to make more money for themselves. “These are the two richest people in the world and they are in it to make money. That’s their whole goal here. To add zeroes to their billions,” Reid said. When Todd interjected by saying that Adelson had spent a huge sum of money in 2012, Reid defended Adelson, who lives in Nevada and is the CEO of the Las Vegas Sands Corporation. “He’s in it because he has certain ideological views,” Reid said. “Now, Sheldon Adelson’s social views are in keeping with the Democrats. On choice, on all kinds of things. So, Sheldon Adelson don’t pick on him. He’s not in it to make money.” Adelson, whose company owns several Las Vegas hotels and casinos including The Venetian, has recently led a major push against online gambling.
Rush Limbaugh rips women Monica Lewinsky writers By Lucy McCalmont Politico.com Rush Limbaugh on Wednesday slammed three columns, all written by women, on the Monica Lewinsky essay in Vanity Fair, saying they each make light of the affair and are so similar “that these women could sue each other for plagiarism.” “They are all the same piece. They are all trashing the woman. And they use the same terminology. It’s almost like these three women got a heads up and followed through,” the conservative radio host said on “The Rush Limbaugh Show,” according to a transcript of his program. “I mean, it’s so close that these women could sue each other for plagiarism here,” he added, saying each writer quotes close friend of Hillary Clinton, Diane Blair, as well as Lewinsky’s employment history since the scandal — both of which were topics Lewinsky addresses herself in the excerpts that were provided by the magazine. Limbaugh questions how it was possible that the columnists —Andrea Peyser of the New York Post, Maureen Dowd of The New York Times and Ruth Marcus of The Washington Post — could have written similar columns unknowingly. “What are the chances that all three of these independent female columnists, these women, would write essentially the same column on their own? I guess it could be possible,” Limbaugh said. Lewinsky gained headlines Tuesday after excerpts of her essay in the upcoming June issue of Vanity Fair were released by the magazine. But Limbaugh said the columns are part of the media’s response to “rewriting” the affair between Monica Lewinsky and former President Bill Clinton. “They’ve tried to make it sound cute. They’ve tried to make it sound puppy love cute. They’ve tried to make it sound like harmless sex, a momentary dalliance by our president, otherwise committed and donated to greatness,” Limbaugh said. “They’re almost identical today trying to position this thing as nothing but a harmless little sex romp with a young woman.”
Poll: Opposition to tea party rises By Jonathan Topaz Politico.com Opposition to the tea party is at its highest level in four years, a new poll says. Thirty percent of Americans say they are opponents of the tea party, tied for the highest level since Gallup began tracking the question in 2010, according to a poll released Thursday. The poll comes as the movement suffered a defeat this week in the North Carolina Republican Senate primary, with establishment candidate Thom Tillis defeating tea party favorite Greg Brannon by more than 18 points. Support for the tea party has also fallen, both nationally and within the Republican Party. Twenty-two percent of respondents said they are supporters of the tea party, down from the high-water mark of 32 percent in November 2010, Gallup found. Forty-eight percent said they are neither opponents nor supporters or have no opinion. Republican support for the tea party is at 41 percent, down 20 points from November 2010. Just 23 percent of those who identify themselves as moderate or liberal Republicans and 14 percent of independents support the tea party, according to the poll. More than half of conservative Republicans, though, say they are supporters of the tea party. The poll was conducted April 24-30 with 1,513 adults on landlines and cellphones.
Why Obama may never get bill on immigration By Manu Raju and Seung Min Kim Politico.com Marco Rubio spent months last year furiously negotiating a comprehensive immigration bill. But don’t count on the Florida Republican to revive his stalled bill in the next Congress. “A comprehensive, single piece of legislation on any topic, but especially on immigration, is going to be very difficult to achieve,” Rubio, a potential presidential candidate, said when asked whether he’d push a large overhaul in the 2015-16 session. “We keep talking about the same issue now for 15 years, and everybody is doing this all-or-nothing approach. And all-ornothing is going to leave you with nothing.” Rubio’s grim assessment reflects growing pessimism on Capitol Hill that a sweeping immigration bill is achievable in President Barack Obama’s second term if nothing passes this year. It’s a remarkable shift from last year’s heady belief that the two parties would finally cut a deal on the contentious issue after Latino voters came out in droves to reelect the president in 2012. A bipartisan bill, which passed the Senate last summer, faces fierce opposition in the conservative House — and there’s little chance a version of the measure passes even during a lame-duck session after November’s elections. This means lawmakers would have to start from scratch next year. But looming over the next Congress will be the 2016 presidential primary season, which could make it too difficult for GOP leaders, and potential presidential candidates like Rubio, to moderate on an issue that roils the conservative base. Republicans, who appear poised to retain the House majority and potentially win the Senate this fall, say if Democrats continue to demand liberal policies on the nation’s undocumented immigrants, it would sink GOP efforts to move narrower immigration bills in a more conservative Congress. “Comprehensive reform, if it means tackling everything at once, I think is unlikely to pass — ever,” said Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), the potential 2016 presidential candidate. “‘Comprehensive’ means Democrats get everything they want.” Some fear the end result could be no action on the issue until there’s a new president in office. “I think if it’s not done this year, it’s going to be next to impossible to do it next year,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), who drafted the immigration bill with Rubio and a bipartisan coalition known as the Gang of Eight. “By early next year, the Republican primary season will be in full flower. And that moves everybody to the right.” Democrats have every reason to stoke the pessimism. Republican elders have long acknowledged the party needs to do a better job reaching out to Latino voters, particularly ahead of 2016, so Democrats want to portray this summer as the lone chance to get the job done before the next presidential election. Backers are now eyeing a window between now and the August recess for the House to pass immigration legislation. This block of time is ideal, they say, because it takes place after the end of most GOP primaries when support for immigration reform is seen as politically toxic. But complicating the legislative equation is that the Obama administration is considering whether to take executive action that would effectively slow deportations for immigrants living here illegally — a chief demand of the Latino community that is a core part of the Democratic base. House Republicans have said a top reason for their reluctance on immigration reform is that they can’t trust Obama to enforce any laws they may pass — pointing to the repeated delays in Obamacare provisions that have occurred without Congress’ blessing. A sweeping administrative action on deportations is likely to kill Republican appetite altogether for a legislative fix to the immigration system. For that reason — combined with 2016 presidential politics — Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.) said he believes immigration reform is likely dead until 2017 if it is not taken up and passed this year. “I’m very much convinced that if it doesn’t happen this year — and this year really means before the August break — that it doesn’t happen,” said Diaz-Balart, who has been trying to rally other House Republicans for an immigration overhaul. “Because let me tell you what happens when the president acts [on deportations], which he is going to: All Cain breaks loose.” The concerns underscore the difference in the political calculations between the 2014 midterms and the 2016 presidential elections. GOP leaders this year have little appetite to engage in a messy, divisive election-year brawl over immigration when polls show their voters are far more energized on issues like Obamacare, even though many acknowledge they must act to broaden their appeal before 2016. Republicans also are bound to increase their ranks in both chambers next year, meaning they’ll have a greater ability to move smaller immigration bills. Top Republicans say that could mean the end of a pathway to citizenship for the nation’s 11 million undocumented immigrants. “If you’re talking about one big pig-in-the-python-type bill, I don’t think that’s workable,” said Minority Whip John Cornyn, the No. 2 Senate Republican who represents the border state of Texas. “So I think what is [workable] is to try to find areas where there’s consensus in a series of smaller bills — so I think it’s important we make as much progress as we can.” Cornyn added: “But in order to do immigration reform, we don’t have to do what the president and the Democrats want, which is a pathway to citizenship — we clearly do not have to do that.”
Rubio, along with GOP leaders, argue that Congress should instead move on individual bills with broad support — potentially measures to increase H-1B visas for foreign high-skilled workers, attract other temporary guest workers, beef up border security or even legalize immigrants brought to the country illegally as children. But moving individual bills is no slam-dunk either. Any attempt to pass a small bill would prompt groups on the right and left to withhold critical support unless a range of other policy measures are added. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a co-author of the comprehensive bill, is dubious of the small-bill approach. “I don’t know how you fix this without dealing with the moving parts,” Graham said. “Nobody in the Democratic Party is going to give us all we want on border security and new visas, unless you address the 11 million.” Indeed, immigration-reform backers, particularly in the tech industry, are also privately fretting about Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley taking over as chairman of the Judiciary Committee — which oversees immigration — if the GOP retakes the Senate majority. Grassley is a staunch critic of H-1B visas, arguing that the program for high-skilled workers is a magnet for fraud and abuse. “I’m not going to do anything until the border is secure,” said Grassley, who opposed the Senate bill. The Senate legislation passed last June marked the biggest rewrite of immigration laws in a generation, creating a 13-year pathway to citizenship for millions of undocumented residents, revamping the legal immigration process and enacting tougher border-security standards. House GOP leaders have long rejected the Senate bill, but have yet to put forward their own approach — except for a one-page list of principles on immigration reform released in January that endorsed legalizing undocumented immigrants. If Republicans win the Senate majority, it’s unclear where immigration reform would rank on their agenda, given that all five Senate GOP leaders opposed the immigration bill last year. But Mitch McConnell — whom Republicans would elect as leader if he wins his reelection fight this year — has long been attune to the political needs of his party, even though a spokesman said “it’s a little early” to assess how he would handle immigration in a GOP majority. “The Republicans are going to realize that the chances of winning a nationwide election without immigration reform are minimal,” said Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), a co-author of the Senate bill who won 31 percent of the Latino vote in his 2008 loss to Obama. (Four years later, Mitt Romney won just 27 percent of the rapidly growing Hispanic bloc.) “The Republican Party has got a math problem,” Graham said. “Demographically, we’re losing air.” Still, what McConnell does could certainly be influenced by presidential politics. In a reminder of how conservative fury grows at any hint of “amnesty” for undocumented immigrants, conservatives strongly criticized former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush for his recent remarks that urged compassion for immigrants living in the U.S. illegally, calling it an “act of love.” “I can’t quite imagine how a candidate would come to Iowa and say, ‘You need to vote for me for president because I support the Senate Gang of Eight bill,’” said Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), a well-known immigration foe. Democrats say that the stance of onetime allies like Rubio will be dictated by hard-liners like King as 2016 draws nearer. “It does worry me,” Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) said, when asked about Rubio pouring cold water on a comprehensive bill. “And this is presidential politics at work.” Nonetheless, Rubio insists that he has long thought the best strategy is to move individual measures that draw the most support. His allies say it’s unfair to blame his reasoning on presidential politics. “So after six years of Obama failing to deliver on his promise to fix our immigration system, now they’re saying it’s because of the Iowa caucuses?” said Rubio spokesman Alex Conant. “Classic.”

Drugs Continued from Page 1 Rouse said that those alternatives “are not technically prohibited but (they’re) very much frowned on” because, he said they are “not very environmentally responsible.” He explained that the result of both options eventually allows the dumped drugs to work their way into the water supply where they can be a threat to public health. Because of these concerns, Rouse said that the health department purchased a receptacle, which looks a lot like a fortified mail collection box, and asked Police Chief John Camerota to install it in the police department lobby. Rouse explained that the drug collection boxes are mandated to be located in police lobbies where they can be available at all times yet be monitored to prevent misuse. Camerota said he was happy to cooperate with the health department as the ‘drug take back’ days had limited the times residents could dispose of drugs and had cost the department for police overtime to monitor the disposals. “It saves us money in the long run and it provides a great service to the community,” he said. He also said that prompt disposal of unneeded drugs keeps them out of medicine cabinets where family members or visitors might, inadvertently or intentionally, misuse drugs a resident no longer needs. A similar collection box has been in the lobby of the Southwick police department for more than a year, Southwick Chief David Ricardi said. He called the program “awesome” and said that it is much better than the collection days. He pointed out that the police department is always open so the disposal option is always available. “I believe they (the public) utilize it every day so “they can get rid of it (unwanted drugs) right away,” he said. Otherwise, he said, “they’re leaving it (drugs) around the house and who knows who’s getting into it.” Another big benefit of the box to the department, he said, is “We don’t have to do anything but empty it.” He said that the box is emptied about once a month and the dumped drugs are incinerated by the operator of the incinerator at Springfield’s Bondi’s Island in Agawam and West Springfield, Covanta Holding Corporation. Rouse said that Covanta will incinerate the drugs collected from Westfield, too, at no charge, as long as the drugs are delivered by a uniformed officer in a marked police cruiser. The receptacles are clearly marked to indicate what may and may not be disposed of in the boxes and, Ricardi said, although the instructions are not always scrupulously followed, “we know how to deal with it” when unacceptable items are dumped. The boxes list as unacceptable sharps (hypodermic needles, lancets, etc.), thermometers, aerosols, inhalers, hydrogen peroxide, drugs from businesses or clinics, ointments, liquids and lotions.

Daniel M. Knapik earlier that day, adding that he was informed that things would be more solidified on the state’s end by Thursday. “He (Knapik) is going to have more concrete advice for us on Thursday, so we will see where we are,” he said. “Obviously, the budget as it stands right now is still somewhat in flux and short of where we’d like to be as dollars and cents go. We’ll have to make some decisions.” “When we determine what we’re looking at with some more concrete numbers, we’ll set up a subcommittee meeting to firm up what our recommendation is going to be and what we’re going to approve,” he said. “Ultimately, the Mayor is looking for us to get a budget to him sometime mid- to lateMay that he can present to the City Council at their first meeting in June. So we would to have our budget ready to go to him sometime within the next two to three weeks.” “It’s going to change, if not by Thursday, than certainly within the next week or two,” he said. “Within the next two weeks, we on the subcommittee can come up with more concrete numbers to move along to City Hall and ultimately the City Council.”
hauled out 40 bags of trash, four tires, two computer monitors, two large pieces of Styrofoam, one tarp, one soggy blanket and a junction box. WRWA will sponsor its fall river cleanup on Saturday, September 27 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. WRWA provides work gloves and trash bags and tracks the amount of trash the volunteers pick up, pooling its numbers with other groups within the larger Connecticut River watershed. In 2013, more than 45 tons of trash was removed from the rivers and watershed lands within the Connecticut River watershed stretching from Vermont to Long Island Sound. Our own Westfield River flows into the Connecticut River, making it an important part of that larger watershed. If you would like to receive email notices about the fall Westfield River cleanup and other WRWA events, send a note to westfieldriver1764@gmail.com with your name and town, and we’ll add you to our notification list. The power of many good citizens to help reverse the trashing of our watershed by the selfish few is another reason to celebrate spring in the Westfield River Watershed. Thank you!

ARTSLEISURE The Arts Beat By Mark Auerbach
Love/Sick John Cariani’s quirky collection of short, darkly comic plays, “Love/Sick” is up next at Hartford’s TheaterWorks. (May 16-June 22). The actor and playwright, who once spent a season in the intern company at Springfield’s StageWest, was a Tony Award nominee for “Fiddler on the Roof” in 2004. He’s known to television audiences as CSU Tech Julian Beck in “Law and Order” and as the autistic reporter on the satirical “Onion News Network.” Ten years ago, he wrote “Almost, Maine”, a portait of residents in a small northern Maine town. “Almost, Maine” had an acclained run in New York, and has become one of the most-produced American plays at community theatres nationwide. Cariani, who grew up in Presque Isle, Maine (and graduated from Amherst College), has captured the nuances of New Englanders in his plays. “Love/Sick” got its start at Portland Stage. Amy Saltz, who directed “Almost, Maine” for TheaterWorks last season, returns to Hartford to stage this production. TheaterWorks performs at City Arts on Pearl, 233 Pearl Street, in downtown Hartford. For tickets: 860-527-7838 or www.theaterworkshartford.org

Review: ‘Damn Yankees’ Opens Goodspeed Musicals Season By MARK AUERBACH Correrspondent EAST HADDAM, Conn. – Goodspeed Musicals has opened its 51st season with a revival/revisal of the 1950s Broadway hit musical, “Damn Yankees”. For a bit over two hours, the miniature Goodspeed stage is magically transformed to Fenway Park, which is inhabited by a slick devil, a baseball star hitter, his eye-candy singing and dancing team mates, some funny fans, and a temptress named Lola, who slithers through some seriously hot dance moves. Based on the Faust legend and the Douglass Wallop novel “The Year The Yankees Lost The Pennant” (Wallop and George Abbott wrote the script), with a hit parade of showtunes, including “Heart” and “Whatever Lola Wants…”, “Damn Yankees” is the story of a diehard baseball fan. Fan sells his soul to the devil to help the home team win the World Series. I’ve never seen a professional stage version of “Damn Yankees” before–only the movie adaptation which cast the Broadway stars Ray (“My Favorite Martian”) Walston and Gwen Verdon in the roles they originated on stage. The losing team was the Washington Senators. In the Goodspeed version, Joe DePietro has revised the script to make the losers the Boston Red Sox. Can they overcome the Curse of the Bambino? Can the fan who sold his soul help them win and reverse his curse? “Damn Yankees” was composer and lyricist Richard Adler’s and Jerry Ross’ second Broadway hit (after “The Pajama Game”). Sadly, Ross died at age 29, shortly after “Damn Yankees” opened. Music director Michael O’Flaherty, orchestrator Dan DeLange, and the band give the score high gloss. It sounds very contemporary, and is much better than some of the scores that pass for good music on Broadway today. David Beach’s devilish Applegate is a performance with slapstick and vaudeville undertones, and very funny. Angel Reda, as the sensuous Lola, is a triple force dancer/ singer/actor with high kicks, seductive poses, and comic flair. James Judy, as the baseball fan, and Stephen Mark Lucas, as the baseball star he morphs into, are fine, as is Ann Arvia as the baseball “widow”, whose husband plunks himself down before the tube for six months every year. Lora Lee Gayer is a determined sports reporter. Kristine Zbornik and Allyce (“Moonlighting”) Beasley are hilarious as two Red Sox fans smitten by the star jock. The rest of the cast and chorus are great. Daniel Goldstein’s staging is slick and clever, and Kelli Barclay’s choreography is energetic (and deftly performed by the company). Adrian Jones’ Fenway sets are clever, and well-enhanced by Brian Tovar’s lighting; David

C. Woolard’s costumes, from Red Sox uniforms to locker room towels to 1950’s suburban casual, are great. Jay Hilton’s sound design needs work. The orchestra was loud at the performance I saw. It drowned out some of the singers. I’m not sure that the revision which includes the Red Sox
would necessarily play out well outside New England, but “Damn Yankees” will. It’s an often forgotten gem of a musical that had the audience in stitches and applauding wildly. “Damn Yankees” runs at Goodspeed through June 21.

THE WESTFIELD NEWSSPORTS Gators toss no-hitter By Chris Putz Staff Writer HUNTINGTON – Three pitchers combined to throw a nohitter for the Gateway High School baseball team Wednesday. Calvin Dowers (3 inn., 1 K, 4 BBs), Brett Turban (2 Ks, BB), and James Degray (1 BB) were the three pitchers responsible for no-hitting Smith Voke as the Gators pounded Smith Vocational, 19-1 in a mercy-shortened, five-inning affair. Smith Voke scored its only run of the game in the second inning on a fielder’s choice, following two walks, a stolen base, and a wild pitch. Every Gator got in on the scoring act. Turban (2-for-2, double, 3 RBIs), Johnny Haskel (3-for-3, double, 2 RBIs, 2 runs), Everett Warner (2-for-4, run, 3 RBIs), Willis Pollard (2-2, 3 runs, 2 RBIs), and Joe Jones (2-2, run, RBI) each collected multiple hits for Gateway. It was the first varsity hit for Jones, a recent call-up from the JV squad. Gators’ Ethan Gamble had a double and two RBIs.

Taylor St. Jacques earned the victory on the mound for Westfield. Jacques scattered five hits over seven innings, struck out four, and walked two. “She pitched an excellent game,” Stella said. “She was in control the whole way – a very good effort.”

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Hurting Daughter-In-Law Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 33 years. His parents disliked me from our first date. I have no idea why. I was only 16. We married two years later, and his parents didn’t come to the wedding and stopped speaking to my husband for the next 23 years. They missed knowing our oldest son. When our second child was born, I wanted him to have grandparents, so I called them the day we came home from the hospital. They stopped by for a visit, and things seemed to improve. Well, that truce lasted 10 years, and now my motherin-law is not speaking to us again. My in-laws spread terrible rumors about us. We live in a small town, and even the store clerks tell us the awful things my in-laws say. Annie, my son loves his grandparents and calls to talk to them, but they never pick up the phone. He leaves voicemail messages telling them he loves and misses them. They never call back. This is heartbreaking. What do I say to a 10-year-old to help him understand why his Grandma and Grandpa won’t speak to him? My hope is that they see this letter and realize they have a loving family who wants them in their lives. We are not likely to have another 23 years to fix this. -- Hurting Daughterin-Law Dear Hurting: We do not understand parents who deliberately stop contact with children and grandchildren who love them and want to be close. Even if your in-laws had some reason for excluding you, it is reprehensible that they think nothing of hurting the grandchildren in the process. Could your husband speak to his parents about this? Would they agree to joint counseling to work on whatever issues are bothering them? If they refuse to address this and continue the silent treatment, we suggest telling your son that Grandma and Grandpa have difficulty dealing with others and that sometimes such people need to be left alone. Reassure him that it has nothing to do with him, and that you hope someday his grandparents will be able to cope better. Dear Annie: I recently was invited to a bridal shower for my niece. A month ago, I was told that my husband and I would definitely NOT be invited to the wedding. They said they wish to keep the ceremony small and are including only close friends and relatives (which I thought I was). The shower invitation specifically states that it is being held for the guests who are not invited to the wedding. I’ve never heard of such a thing. I thought inviting people to a shower and not the wedding was extremely inappropriate. These people are all quite wealthy, so having a small wedding has nothing to do with money. I may not make it to the bridal shower because it’s 300 miles away, but should I send a gift? Is it appropriate to ask why I’m not invited to the wedding? -Left-Out Aunt Dear Aunt: Yes, it is rude to invite people to a shower but not to the wedding (except when co-workers decide to give a shower). Under the pretense of including more people in their celebration, they simply are obligating folks to give presents. The size of their guest list is not your business. But it would be extremely classy of you to send a shower gift. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Evil Stepmother,” whose husband’s daughter doesn’t want him to walk her down the aisle. When my daughter married, she asked her stepfather to walk her halfway down, and her father met her there and walked her to her soon-to-be-husband. Everyone was happy. -C. Dear C.: Several readers wrote with some variation of that suggestion, which is a lovely idea, and we hope the husband’s daughter will consider it.
HINTS FROM HELOISE Labeled for Theft Dear Heloise: I read your column where you answered a letter on how to pack for an out-of-state MOVE. There’s one thing I need to add to your advice about marking the boxes with their contents. I have had an unpleasant experience from doing that very thing: stolen boxes due to that mistake. One box was labeled as “Breakable, handle with care, antique perfume bottles.” This box was stolen and held my collection of 30-plus years! I learned from this experience, and in doing so, I came up with this checklist. As you pack a box, write the items in a binder, one to two pages per box, and number that page, along with the corresponding number on the box. Also, take a picture of the box halfway through packing, and again when finished. This system will help as well if and when you need to give information to insurance companies. -- Cathy R. in California Good advice! You want to label the boxes, but not be so descriptive that thieves know the exact contents of each box -especially which box contains the expensive stuff! -- Heloise

YOUR HOROSCOPE Contract Bridge By Jaqueline Bigar
DOG EAT DOUG
Brian Anderson
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, May 8, 2014: This year your determination mixes with an insatiable curiosity. The combination could be very powerful in enabling you to succeed in nearly any matter you pursue. Ask yourself if there are any alternatives. If you are single, you’ll develop a new way of looking at people and assessing them as potential sweeties. Don’t forget about passion! If you are attached, enlist your significant other in helping you with key ventures and ideas. This person will be very supportive of what you are doing because of your excellent communication. This period could begin quite soon. Schedule plenty of downtime together. VIRGO can be picky, critical and difficult! The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ON a CLAIRE DAY Carla Ventresca and Henry Beckett
ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe
ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Efficiency becomes a theme for the next few days. Your focus on being resourceful remains a high priority every day. An emotionally laden conversation could add some stress, as it likely will be taken out of context. Tonight: Follow through on calls and some other practical matters. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Your imagination knows no limits, at least to those around you. Do not be surprised if someone wants to pick your brain about an important issue. Remember, you are only one person. Remain sensitive to a friend who appears flaky. Tonight: Enjoy the moment. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You might not understand your strong desire to stay home today, but you probably will want to give in to this whim if you can. The pressure and hassles of outside life could be getting to you. At home you can relax, even if you have to do some work. Tonight: Make it easy. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Keep a conversation moving, even if you are uncomfortable with what is being said. Some of the comments might hit too close to home. Understand that everyone has limits, and perhaps you have pushed too hard beyond yours. Tonight: Return calls, then decide. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Be more aware of all the information coming your way from out of the blue. It might seem as if a friend suddenly opened the flood gates. You need to listen well and try to be nonreactive. Understanding could evolve as a result. Tonight: Let the party begin. Expect to treat a friend. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH You’ll feel energized, so let a friend unload. You might not be able to stop this person once he or she gets going. Even if you are not that interested, make a point to put your best foot forward and listen. Don’t allow yourself to tune him or her out! Tonight: Start the weekend early. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Pull away from a source of constant chatter, especially if you feel a need to gain a fresh perspective on a situation. It is nearly impossible to stay centered when feeling hounded or overwhelmed. The issue might have to do with someone else. Tonight: Out late. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH The emphasis is on friends and on an important meeting. You might not see eye to eye with others. Gain a more complete perspective before making an important decision. A partner or loved one seems to have many opinions. Listen. Tonight: Whatever makes you happy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Responding to all the calls and questions that head your way will take diligence and endurance. You recently might have realized that that kind of follow-through is imperative in maintaining your professional and personal well-being. Tonight: Continue the process. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH You have a unique ability to discipline yourself and not overreact. Some people might take that behavior as a lack of interest, even though that is not the case. You often detach from extremely volatile situations. Tonight: Listen to your intuition. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Someone you care about might be seeking some answers and wanting more feedback. You could be out of sorts. Make a point to listen to a
Cryptoquip
Crosswords
loved one who needs your time. Your ability to respond and be diplomatic will be tested. Tonight: Out for dinner. You choose where. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Others might want to assume more control. Let this happen, and don’t worry so much about how others handle their responsibilities. This detachment will empower the interactions between you. Tonight: Sort through all the suggestions, then choose the best one.
