Knapik ends Wielgus land-taking effort

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Mayor Daniel M. Knapik has notified City Council President Brent B. Bean that the city has withdrawn its application to the National Park Service which requests the designation of the so-called Wielgus Property as protected parkland. Knapik also stated that the city will reapply to the National Park Service for conversion of a city-owned lot where ball fields can be constructed. Knapik, in a letter Monday stated that the City Council no longer has to take action in an order of taking of real estate to develop recreational fields for municipal use by right of eminent domain.
“Thus, no action is requested from the City Council on the Order of Taking or Order of Appropriation associated with this project that was submitted to City Council on May 14, 2014,” Knapik said in the letter. “Further, I would like to take this opportunity to explain two important matters. First, a history on the Wielgus proposal and second, where we go from here. Please be assured I continue to focus on reaching a solution where the City meets National Park Service requirements for conversion of parkland with an end goal of constructing a model elementary school on the Cross Street/Ashley Street site. Over the past several months, the property owner has been

clear with public communication to the City Council that she is not interested in the City purchasing her property. In keeping with her request, the City will no longer seek this property as a solution. I want to be clear, however. The City pursued this path because it had been communicated earlier by the landowner that she that she was willing to entertain the possibility of this transaction. The landowner was present for site inspections during the appraisal process and had granted us the right to investigate potential uses. Again, I respect her wishes and those concerns raised by members of the City Council with respect to their uneasiness with the eminent domain process.
With that as background, we continue our pursuit of 1.38 acres of replacement parkland so that we can begin construction of our much needed elementary school at Cross Street and Ashley Street. Over the past several weeks, the City has prepared required documentation and an Environmental Assessment on 3.88-acre city owned parcel at the junction of Ponders Hollow Road and South Meadow Street. The property directly abuts the newly constructed Columbia Greenway Rail Trail, the Little River, and over 300 acres of protected agricultural land. It is my intention to have this application submitted to the See Mayor’s Letter, Page 3
Manny’s opens
By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Burglars who disabled the alarm system and stole the security video apparatus at a Meadow Street bar are the same burglars who struck the Westfield Hotel bar early Sunday morning, police speculate. A city detective reports that she received a call from the owner of Rally’s Bar and Grill yesterday morning who reported that his bar was broken into about the same time the burglary occurred at the City Hotel. Officer Timothy Grady, a veteran of the Detective Bureau, reports that he responded to the report and found that the break-in appeared to be similar to the Westfield Hotel burglary. He also was told that one of the suspects seen in pictures of the Westfield Hotel burglary that were published in The Westfield News may be a person known, only by his first name, by staff and patrons of the bar. The bar owner told Grady that he had called police and left a message on Monday soon after he discovered the See Bar, Page 3
New tower truck will visit Westfield schools By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The younger children in the city’s schools will get a little more time outside next week – and a little more excitement – as the city firefighters spend Fire Prevention Week visiting all the city’s elementary schools. Dep. Fire Chief Patrick Egloff briefed members of the school department Tuesday and said that next week firefighters will bring the department’s new tower truck to each elementary school, and Fort Meadow School, visiting two schools each day. Egloff explained that at each school the program will begin with a fire drill. See Tower Truck, Page 3

Rules for smoking on Southwick town property to be codified By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – While reviewing a draft of a code of conduct policy, several department heads raised concerns about including a smoking policy on municipal property. Board of Selectmen Chairman Russell Fox said the impetus for the policy was more about behavior and conduct on town property but when the smoking concerns came up, the board felt they should be addressed and referred it to the health department. Chief Administrative Officer Karl Stinehart said ysterday that he still has not heard back from Health Inspector Thomas Fitzgerald on the matter. It was discussed during a September Southwick Board of Health meeting. Stinehart said his main concerns for the health board were enforcement and e-cigarettes. Stinehart said he’s not sure where e-cigarettes fall when it comes to public buildings. He added that outlining a designated smoking

area on town property is something he wants included in the policy. As far as enforcement, Fox said that would not be a function of Fitzgerald or the Board of Health. “I hope people would voluntarily comply,” he said. “And as far as enforcement, that would not be the Board of Health’s job. There will be signs and I think if someone is smoking, people will let them know the policy.” Fox said the policy will include a process for complaints for any conduct code violation. “We’re going to have a reporting process for someone to file a complaint,” Fox said. “There will be a clear path for how to proceed.” The policy is currently still in draft form but Fox said he hopes to have it approved before the end of the year. “We’re finalizing it now and should have it done this fall,” he said.

WSU announces Distinguished Alumnus Award winner WESTFIELD – Westfield State University will honor Carlos Canino with the Distinguished Alumnus Award in the Horace Mann Center lobby on Saturday, October 25 at 10 a.m. The honor is a service award designed for an alumnus that has made an outstanding contribution to the community. Canino earned his B.S. in criminal justice in 1988. “Carlos has distinguished himself in the criminal justice field,” said Kathi Bradford, director of Alumni Affairs. “His efforts with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, working across teams and among different communities to provide education and promote safety exemplify the spirit of this award and represent the best of the leadership and community service skills with which Westfield State students graduate.” Canino originally started his collegiate journey at Central Connecticut State University (CCSU) where he played football. He was inspired to pursue the criminal justice field when he was sitting by a window in the cafeteria with his friend Dougie and he noticed a number of men in suits pull up in black sedans to escort a seemingly important visitor, who turned out to be former president Jimmy Carter. Canino thought that he would enjoy working in a similar field and, at the time, CCSU did not have a criminal justice program, so Canino decided to transfer to Westfield State where he could both play football and study in the field he wanted to pursue. Canino was appointed as the Special Agent in Charge of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Los Angeles Field Division in February. As the Special Agent in Charge, he is responsible for leading the men and
women of the Los Angeles Field Division with enforcing laws and regulations related to firearms, explosives, arson, and alcohol and tobacco trafficking. A seasoned law enforcement professional, Canino began his ATF career as a Special Agent in 1990, in Yakima, Washington. Rising through the ranks at ATF, Canino has served in several leadership positions including Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the Phoenix Field Division, ATF Mexico Country Attaché, and Supervisory Special Agent in St. Louis, Missouri. He also served as a street agent in Los Angeles, Miami, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. “The best thing about my job is being able to serve the community that I work in,” Canino said. “We target the most violent criminals in the country and I enjoy being able to go head to head against those bad guys and removing them from the streets to make the communities safer.” Canino said he wants criminal justice students to know the success rate of graduates. “It’s important for students to see that Westfield State alumni are successful in the field,” Canino said. “They can realize that ‘this guy made it, why can’t I make it?’ The university is well represented in federal law enforcement.” Because he’s in good company in the criminal justice field, Canino said he was surprised to learn he won the award. “It’s humbling to say the least,” Canino said. The Distinguished Alumnus Award kicks off Homecoming weekend. For a full list of events, visit www.westfieldalumni. org/homecoming.

Wrong-way homing pigeon ends up at police station EPPING, N.H. (AP) — A New Hampshire police station sheltered, then released a confused homing pigeon that went the wrong way in a race. But the bird didn’t go far after cloudy, rainy weather affected its ability to navigate. For now, the pigeon is hanging out at the Epping Police Department, waiting for sunny weather. He rested in a box and ate popcorn Wednesday night. The 4-month-old pigeon showed up Monday after getting lost in a race from New York to its home in New Braintree, Massachusetts. Police contacted the bird’s owner and kept it safe before releasing it Tuesday. But the pigeon only flew a few miles. The bird, which had a tag on its foot that said, “I left the Epping Police Department at 8:40 a.m. on 9/30/14,” was returned to police.

O
n Oct. 2, 1944, German troops crushed the twomonth-old Warsaw Uprising, during which a quarter of a million people were killed.
On this date: In 1780, British spy John Andre was hanged in Tappan, New York, during the Revolutionary War. In 1835, the first battle of the Texas Revolution took place as American settlers fought Mexican soldiers near the Guadalupe River; the Mexicans ended up withdrawing. In 1889, the first International Conference of American States convened in Washington, D.C. In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson suffered a serious stroke at the White House that left him paralyzed on his left side. In 1939, the Benny Goodman Sextet (which included Lionel Hampton) made their first recording, “Flying Home,” for Columbia. In 1950, the comic strip “Peanuts,” created by Charles M. Schulz, was syndicated to seven newspapers. In 1958, the former French colony of Guinea in West Africa proclaimed its independence. In 1967, Thurgood Marshall was sworn as an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court as the court opened its new term. In 1970, one of two chartered twin-engine planes flying the Wichita State University football team to Utah crashed into a mountain near Silver Plume, Colorado, killing 31 of the 40 people on board.
In 1984, Richard W. Miller became the first FBI agent to be arrested and charged with espionage. (Miller was tried three times; he was sentenced to 20 years in prison, but was released after nine years.) In 1996, an AeroPeru Boeing 757 crashed into the Pacific Ocean, killing all 61 passengers and nine crew members on board. In 2002, the Washington, D.C.-area sniper attacks began, setting off a frantic manhunt lasting three weeks. (John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo were finally arrested for 10 killings and three woundings; Muhammad was executed in 2009; Malvo was sentenced to life in prison.)
Ten years ago: Suspected separatist rebels began four days of attacks in India’s Nagaland and Assam states that killed more than 70 people.
Five years ago: The International Olympic Committee, meeting in Copenhagen, chose Rio de Janeiro to be the site of the 2016 Summer Olympics; Chicago was eliminated in the first round, despite a last-minute in-person appeal by President Barack Obama. A man accused of stalking ESPN reporter Erin Andrews and secretly videotaping her inside her hotel room was arrested at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. (Michael David Barrett later pleaded guilty to interstate stalking and was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in federal prison.) Marek Edelman, 90, the last surviving leader of the ill-fated 1943 Warsaw ghetto revolt against the Nazis (not to be confused with the above-mentioned 1944 uprising), died in Warsaw.
One year ago: President Barack Obama met privately with congressional leaders at the White House for the first time
since a partial government shutdown began, but there was no sign of progress toward ending the impasse. Overloaded websites and jammed phone lines frustrated consumers for a second day as they tried to sign up for coverage using new health insurance exchanges. A jury in Los Angeles cleared a concert promoter of negligence, rejecting a lawsuit brought by Michael Jackson’s mother claiming AEG Live had been negligent in hiring Conrad Murray, the doctor who killed the pop star with an overdose of a hospital anesthetic.

Mayor’s Letter Continued from Page 1
National Park Service and the Environmental Assessment available for public comment in the month of October. I am hopeful the National Park Service will approve our application as I believe this site meets their criteria for replacement parkland as defined in 36 CFR 59.3. I would not be comfortable providing an estimated timeline for adjudication of this application, but I am convinced, after reviewing all alternatives relative to our elementary school space requirements, that this represents both the quickest and most fiscally responsible path forward. Thank you for sharing this information with your fellow members. While I am sure this new direction will spark debate both among elected leaders and the general public, I am confident that we are headed to a final solution that meets the needs of our school system, our City, and the families of elementary school students across our community.”
Tower Truck
Continued from Page 1 After all the children have been evacuated and the drill concludes, he said, the children in kindergarten and grades one and two will remain outside when the older children return to their classrooms. He said “we’ll have the tower truck at our disposal” and the children will be able to get a closer look at the new apparatus. He said that the tower truck will serve as a backdrop as members of the Student Awareness of Fire Education team “do a show and tell on it and give all the kids basic student awareness of fire education.” As in past years, Egloff said, firefighters will bring a staff member up in the tower but cautioned that the new tower, which rises 100 feet into the air, is “bouncier” than the platform truck it replaced. He said that, like the firefighters who work from the tower, staff members who get to experience it will have to will have to wear a safety belt while they are looking down at the children. Egloff said that the program will take about an hour to an hour and a half at each school.
Bar
Continued from Page 1 break-in. The man said that nobody called him back and went on to say that he subsequently discovered that he had left his message with West Springfield police. Grady reports that entry to Rally’s was gained via a rear window, much as entry was gained at the Westfield Hotel. Also, as at the other bar, cash totaling more than $100 was stolen from separate repositories behind the bar at Rally’s. The thieves appear to be familiar with Rally’s as the property stolen from the bar included the DVR apparatus which manages the bar’s security video. The equipment is hidden in a closet that not many people know about, Grady was told. The thieves were also apparently familiar with the bar’s alarm system, as a wire was cut to disable it. In addition to the cash and video equipment, two illuminated beer signs and a clock also featuring a beer company logo were stolen. The owner told Grady that patrons at the bar believe that one of the suspects pictured in The Westfield News has been a customer at the bar and is also known to frequent a nearby package store. Officers visited the store where they were told that the man, known there also only by his first name, is a regular customer there. Anybody who has information about either bar burglary, or who may be able to identify either suspect pictured in the Tuesday edition of The Westfield News, is asked to call the Detective Bureau at 572-6400.
Road salt supply low, demand high as winter looms By JEFF KAROUB Associated Press DETROIT (AP) — The reward for surviving last winter’s frigid temperatures and record snowfall, several states are learning, is drastic price increases for road salt — and that’s if they can even get it. Replenishing stockpiles is proving challenging, especially for some Midwestern states, after salt supplies were depleted to tame icy roads last winter. And price increases of at least 20 percent have been common in places including Boston and Raleigh, North Carolina. “Everybody is kind of scrambling around right now, contacting anybody they know who may have some salt available,” said Fred Pausch, chief of the County Engineers Association of Ohio. Some local governments are avoiding the problem thanks to multi-year contracts or secured bids. Chicago, for example, used roughly three times more salt last winter — 436,000 tons — than it did in 2012-2013, but the city has locked-in rates based on a contract negotiated a few years ago. Other states aren’t so lucky. In Ohio, where more than 1 million tons of salt was used on state roads last year — a nearly 60 percent increase over the average — last year’s average price was $35 per ton. This year, 15 counties received bids of more than $100 per ton, and 10 counties received no bids from suppliers. Most of Ohio’s 88 counties have locked in prices between $50 and $80 per ton. To ease the pain for other counties, the state recently secured about 170,000 tons of additional salt. “The demand for salt is simply outpacing the supply that is available,” said Steve Faulkner, spokesman for the Ohio Department of Transportation. In Michigan, like Ohio, local governments are allowed to join a network for bidding purposes, and the state seeks competitive bids each year from four vendors. But even those efforts couldn’t prevent a spike: Michigan has seen prices jump by 46 percent, to $65 per ton. On a recent weekday outside Detroit, a massive dump truck backed into a domed building and dropped about 50 tons of road salt onto a growing mound at a facility operated by the Washtenaw County Road Commission. The agency is paying $76 a ton for its preseason fill-up compared to about $34 last year, a 120 percent jump. Part of the problem is that salt mines are being challenged by numerous local governments “trying to replenish their supply at the same time,” said Lori Roman, president of the Salt Institute, a trade group based in suburban Washington, D.C. “It’s just a situation where you can’t necessarily get all
Yarmesky retires Gail Yarmesky, secretary for Westfield Mayor Daniel Knapik, retired Tuesday after four and a half years of service. (Photo by Frederick Gore) the salt mined and get it where it needs to go as fast as it’s demanded,” she said, noting that the group doesn’t collect information related to prices or production issues. For road officials, that translates into having to conserve and be creative. In many places, brine is added to salt to boost its effectiveness. Officials also are buying trucks that can, among other things, spread salt in the morning and clean streets later in the day. North Carolina’s capital city, which was left with about 10 percent of its 4,000-ton salt capacity after Raleigh was hit by more winter storms than usual, recently signed a threeyear contract for salt costing about $110 per ton annually. That’s a 25 percent increase, according to city officials. In Indiana, road salt bids have increased by an average of 57 percent, ranging from nearly $73 to $106 per ton. Boston is among those breathing a sigh of relief. Interim Public Works Commissioner Mike Dennehy, dubbed Boston’s “snow czar,” said the city bought about 80 percent of its capacity at last season’s cheaper prices of $45 and $49 a ton. The city will be charged this winter’s prices, which are about 20 percent higher, for the rest of its supply. “I’m waiting to hear back from our vendor,” said Randal Brown, director of Southwick’s Department of Public Works yesterday. “We’re going to jump in on the state’s bid – I believe its through the Hampden County Council of Governments – and they have solicited bids and are in the process of awarding that contract.” Brown said that the town has been told that the road salt contract would be awarded by September 25, but that he isn’t aware of who the vendor is or what the price will be yet, although last year’s vendor, Cargill, has put in a bid as well. “I have heard the prices may be going up, but I’m not sure by how much,” he said. “Based on the number and severity of storms, I can tell you last year was a pretty bad year,” he said. “We have bud-
geted $50,000 for salt and typically we run over that as part of our winter operational budget for highways and roads.” “I want to say last year we spent double that for salt,” he said. “Last year, we used about 1,800 tons (of salt), which came out to about $55 a ton.” “We order it (road salt) in 500-ton lots and we do that a couple of times throughout the season,” said Casey Berube, deputy superintendent of the City of Westfield’s DPW. Touching on how vendors supply the cities and towns, Berube said that the countywide contracts are beneficial for municipalities. “The cities and towns get a better rate than say, a parking lot plow guy,” he said.
As far as what this winter will look like for Westfield, Berube said it’s too early to predict. “Last year was a cold, cold year and that’s why we blew through so much of it,” he said. “(The road salt budget) gets lumped in with the snow and ice account, so you’re allowed to overspend on it.” “Last year we had about 3,000 and 3,500 tons of salt and I’d expect about the same this year,” Berube said. “We paid about $54.68 per ton and about $13.63 per ton of sand. So we’re in the $190,000 to $200,000 range for salt last year.” Westfield News staff writer Peter Francis and Associated Press writers Charles D. Wilson in Indianapolis and Allen G. Breed in Raleigh, N.C., contributed to this report.

‘Redskins’ name ban a FCC Hail Mary By Brooks Boliek Politico.com FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler finds the word “Redskins” to be offensive and avoids using the word, but he’s facing fourth and long if he wants to find a way to stop broadcasters from using it over the airwaves. Currently, the FCC’s power to regulate what broadcasters air extends only to indecent speech and not to words that are viewed as simply offensive. Any decision to limit broadcasters’ use of “Redskins” would require the commission to expand its definition of “indecent,” free speech experts say. “There’s no serious legal argument in support of it,” said Robert Corn-Revere, a First Amendment attorney who represented CBS after Janet Jackson’s Super Bowl “wardrobe malfunction.” “The FCC isn’t generally the culture police.” Currently, material is indecent if it “in context, depicts or describes sexual or excretory activities or organs in a patently offensive manner as measured by contemporary community standards for the broadcast medium.” Wheeler did say Tuesday that the agency “will be dealing with that issue on the merits, and we will be responding to” a petition filed by a George Washington University professor that asks the commission to pull the license for WWXX-FM for repeatedly using the word. Daniel Snyder owns both the radio station and the Washington football team. The GW professor, John Banzhaf, contends the FCC can take action against a broadcaster that airs the word because it is “akin to broadcasting obscenity” or that “it constitutes profanity.” Under current law, broadcasters face a fine of up to $325,000 per incident deemed indecent and could lose their licenses to operate. But Georgetown Law School professor Andrew Jay Schwartzman notes that the definition is narrow. “The statute addresses indecency and profanity,” he said. “The FCC has consistently said that indecency and profanity refer to sexual and excretory matters, and nothing more. It would require a redefinition of the term and an extraordinary stretch to find the use of a word that has multiple meanings could possibly be deemed indecent. It’s not going to happen.” The Supreme Court in the 1978 FCC v. Pacifica Foundation decision — which dealt with a broadcast of the famous George Carlin comedy bit “Filthy Words” — found that the government has a legitimate interest in protecting children from foul language. While obscene speech has no constitutional protection, indecent speech does. The FCC can fine broadcasters or pull their licenses for airing indecent speech, but only if it is aired before 10 p.m. or after 6 a.m. Broadcasting faces more regulation than cable channels or newspapers because TV and radio stations originally received their airwaves for free under the condition that they use them in the public interest. There’s already opposition to any FCC move — even from inside the agency. On Wednesday, Republican FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai told CNBC he would oppose any agency move. “The FCC chairman has suggested that the agency will take a look at that petition and consider what to do with it,” he said. “For my own part, as a supporter of the First Amendment, I don’t think the government should ban the use of the Washington Redskins team name from the airwaves. But we will see what the agency proposes to do in the near future.” While some advocates for FCC intervention understand it is an uphill battle, they note it is important to change with the times.
Dear Westfield News, I feel compelled to write this Letter to the Editor to explain my concerns about the $600,000 tax cut for Prolamina, and to add a few more details than could fit in the two articles that appeared in today’s paper. I find myself in a strange position. I’m the one who usually fights for businesses, and tries to lower their costs and reduce their government burdens. I’ve talked about the heavy financial burdens placed on our businesses when compared to neighboring cities and states. I’ve defended businesses when my more liberal friends talk about “corporate welfare” and other such things. However, I can’t defend this tax cut deal. I know they have a right to ask for it, and I know they have an obligation to do what’s best for their company, their employees, and their customers. But, this is corporate greed and manipulation at its worst. They are pressuring a city that is in desperate shape, they are threatening the livelihoods of their long-term employees that helped to make them so great, and they are asking every other taxpayer in town to pay more so that they can pay less. This just isn’t right. They don’t seem to be concerned about the middle class, fixed income seniors, and low income taxpayers who can barely make ends meet - those whose income hasn’t kept up with their property tax increases. My discussions with the L&O Committee and with the executives from Prolamina were based on financial numbers that they provided us, and based on my long-standing concerns about the City Budget and taxes. Here’s what they told us: they have 256 employees in Westfield, a Westfield payroll of $17 million, and sales of about $300 million. They are a successful company that has grown from a rather small operation in Westfield to a leader in the industry. Their customers are some of the biggest names in the food industry. Their performance metrics are the best in the industry. Their operating costs in Wisconsin are lower than they are in Westfield. They lease the current facility in Westfield, and are at a point in time where they need to decide whether or not to renew (for 20 years). They need to fix leaks in their roof and upgrade parts of their facility in order to be in compliance with food industry specifications. They want to enhance the cosmetics of their facility so that they have a building that impresses visitors, customers, and potential customers. They want to expand operations and hire a dozen new employees over 5 years due to a growing demand for their products and services. They are a wonderful success story, and Westfield is proud to have them here. My concern is that the city cannot afford a $600,000+ drop in revenue in the first five years. Over the long-term, we’ll generate more taxes due to higher property valuations, but in the city’s current financial shape, we can’t afford to take the hit. The city’s budget for this year is over $2.5 million short. We have to drain some savings, and the mayor asked for new taxes (hotel and meals taxes), just to make ends meet. He agreed to 1%, 2%, and 3% raises in the labor contracts for the coming years. If we’re short now, how does anyone think we’ll cover

the bigger raises in the future – nevermind the $400 or so million (net present value) in long-term debts and obligations? I’m also concerned that this will set a precedent, and that all future development projects will ask for the same thing: a discount on all of their taxes – not just on the new investment. If we do this, what’s to stop Advance, Berkshire, Home Depot, Walmart, C&S, Micro Abrasives and all the others from asking for the same deal? During the L&O meeting, Councilor Adams said this is a “no brainer”. He was looking at the threat of losing the 256 jobs, and suggested that we owe it to those families to do what it takes to keep them here. That’s what got me involved in the conversation. I think our primary duty is to ALL of the residents – not just the 256 employees. When I asked Councilor Adams where he’d recommend that we cut $160,000 from the city budget, of if he’d want to terminate 4 or 5 teachers, firemen, policemen, or city hall workers, he said “yeah, we need to protect these jobs”. I then explained the math… The $160,000 tax cut in the first year is equivalent to .00053 of their revenue - not 5%, not 1%, 5.3/100ths of 1%. They can easily tweak their business to cover that 5.3/100ths of 1%. They don’t need to pressure the city or further burden the other businesses and homeowners in town. If they can’t figure out how to do this, maybe we could offer to give them a Community Development Block Grant to hire a consultant who is familiar with their industry to help them out? If you compare the tax break to payroll... this tax break is equivalent to less than 1% in the first year, and even less than that for the next 4 years. Again, a great company like theirs, with great hard-working employees, should easily be able to make up the $600,000+ over 5 years - that’s only about $468 per employee per year. If truly necessary, I’d bet their employees would consider taking a $468 pay hit to guarantee that their jobs would be safe for the next 20 years. This company does not need this. They are just pressuring the city because they can - not because they need the break to justify the expansion. They told us flat out that they would not be closing anytime soon if they didn’t get this discount. They are using the threat of losing 250 jobs to play “chicken” with the city. They need to fix their roof and expand their building because their business requires it – they’re booming. A good portion of the $7 million in new investment is going to cosmetics. I’m thankful they will be helping to improve the look, but they have a pretty darn nice place right now when compared to other industrial sites in Westfield, and the fact that they are pursuing cosmetic work in this down economy speaks to their business strength and financial status. I hope that the taxpayers of Westfield do a little research and communicate with their city councilors before the vote on this matter. I hope that those who support giving the $600,000 tax break will stand-up and tell us where they see the replacement revenue coming from, or where specifically they are willing to cut the city budget. Sincerely, David Flaherty City Councilor

2 plead guilty to 2010 Springfield slaying SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — Two Springfield men have pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter for their roles in a fatal shooting in 2010. The Republican (http://bit.ly/1sOvLgy ) reports that Dennys Tarraza and Joshua Oquendo, both 29, were sentenced Wednesday in Hampden Superior Court to up to 20 years in prison for the slaying of 34-year-old Ramon Leonardo-Cruz. Prosecutors say they were two of four men involved in the December 2010 home invasion and shooting. Authorities say three men burst into the victim’s apartment yelling “Police!” They thought a drug dealer lived in the home and were looking for drugs and cash. A fourth suspect acted as a getaway driver.

Made in the Berkshires The Berkshires come alive on Columbus Day Weekend (October 10-12) with the fourth annual “Made in the Berkshires” festival, at The Berkshire Theatre Group’s Colonial Theatre in Pittsfield and the Unicorn Theatre on the BRG campus in Stockbridge. Local artists and local art are showcased in theatre, film, music, dance, and visual arts. On Sunday, October 12, Music Inn and Berkshire Theatre Group present “Jay and The Americans” a part of Made in the Berkshires and a benefit for Music Inn Archives at The Colonial Theatre. Known for their hits “Cara Mia,” “This Magic Moment,” “Crying,” and “Sunday and Me,” “Jay and The Americans” were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2002, placing them among the greatest vocal groups in rock and roll history. “Jay and the Americans”’ ties to the Berkshires stretch back to the legendary Music Inn in Lenox where they were presented by impresario David Rothstein. One of the participating groups is Berkshire Pulse, whose dancers, both teens and adults, will be performing Friday and Berkshire Pulse performs “Ubunto” at “Made in the Berkshires”

“Annapurna”, Sharr White’s often funny and often gutwrenching story about a reunion of two lovers gone wrong, opens TheaterWorks season (through November 9). Rob Ruggiero, TheaterWorks Artistic Director (who returns to Hartford after staging Goodspeed’s “Fiddler on The Roof”) directs. After twenty years apart, Emma (Debra Jo Ruff) tracks down her ex-husband, cowboy poet Ulysses (Vasili Bogazianos) to a trailer park in the wilds of Colorado. In a grungy trailer, he is working on his magnum opus, while hooked up to an oxygen tank, and cooking in the buff. Their reunion, charged by pain and compassion is both healing and humorous and a final reckoning that neither of them saw coming. Sharr White’s “The Other Place” was produced last year on Broadway, at Barrington Stage in Pittsfield, and at TheaterWorks. “Annapurna” was produced at The Chester Theatre Company earlier this summer. Area audiences know Debra Jo Ruff from her portrayal of Dr. Ruth Westheimer off-Broadway, in Hartford, and Pittsfield. She was featured in the TV series “That 70s Show”. Vasili Bogazianos played Benny Sago on “All My Children”, and in roles on “Edge of Night”, “As The World Turns”, and “The Young And The Restless”.

New WHS low, and a milestone By Chris Putz Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Championship-bound Westfield (10-2) enjoyed another key victory Wednesday at Tekoa Country Club, 147-163 over Holyoke, sparked by a phenomenal effort by one young golfer and several teammates. Westfield’s Sebastian Soendergaard shot a phenomenal 4-under 31 to lead all golfers. Colin Dunn (37) and John Kiefer (39) also finished in the 30s, and Dan Hickson shot a 40. “Our kids played great,” Westfield
coach Chris Strycharz said. “They played awesome. It was a great team win.” It was Westfield’s lowest team score of the season. Southwick 13.5, Monson 11.5 Southwick coach Al Selden received his 50th career coaching victory with a narrow victory at Quaboag Country Club. The Rams’ top golfer, James Longhi shot a match-low 37 to collect three points, and Joe Stratton swept all four points at the number three position with
a 42. St. Mary 20.5, Pathfinder 3.5 St. Mary’s No. 2 golfer, Dom Ceccarini shot a team-low 44, and Matt Wurster and Harry Reed each shot a 45 for the Saints at the top and third spots, respectively, to lead St. Mary to a huge road victory at Mill Valley Country Club. Pathfinder’s top golfer, Joe Conkey was the overall medalist with a 41. St. Mary improved to 6-6, and remains well in the hunt for a spot in the postsea- Sebastian Soendergaard was sensational for the Westfield son. High School golf team Wednesday.

Gators’ Gryzbowski tops; Rams prevail By Chris Putz Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – A good-old fashioned home town race took over Southwick Wednesday, and the Rams prevailed against a friendly rival. Southwick claimed four of the top six finishes, and seven of the top 10 to defeat visiting Gateway in a high school girls’ cross country meet, 24-35. “The theme of the meet was teamwork and sportsmanship today,” Southwick coach Kristin S. Tetrault said. “We had many seasoned runners assume leadership roles and use their running talents and know-how to help push newer teammates to personal bests. Southwick ran well in packs and I was really happy with the results.” Southwick’s Emily McKinney (22:13) and Samantha Smith (22:18) placed second and third, overall. Cassie White (24:26) and Caroline Clarke (24:26) held down the fifth- and sixth-place spots for Southwick, and Rams’ Emma Morton (24:58), Maggie Drohen (25:02), and Maddie Provencher (25:33) claimed 8-10. Faye Gryzbowski, of Gateway won the race in 21:54. She was followed by teammates (23:02) and Shyanne Jones (24:57) in fourth and seventh, overall. “Today was a great mid-season meet,” coach Tetrault said. “I have come to love competing against Gateway as their crowd support and team structure is much like that of Southwick. Both teams are full of athletes that demonstrate a high level of sportsmanship, and their family and friends do the same.” “I love when the crowd cheers on each runner and that is exactly what happened at today’s meet,” she added. Southwick’s head coach noted that several individuals who scored in Wednesday’s meet had not scored in previous meets, which bodes well for the Rams. “That is a positive sign for our team,” Tetrault said. “We are looking forward to PVIACs and Western Mass championships.” Results for the boys’ meet were not available.

Falcons soar past WHS By Chris Putz Staff Writer WILBRAHAM – It was an all-around dreary day for the Westfield High School boys’ soccer team Wednesday, and it did not even have anything to do with the cool temps and light mist. Westfield took one on the chin, suffering a 4-0 road loss to the Minnechaug Falcons. “The boys weren’t ready to play today,” said Bombers coach Andrew Joseph, who shouldered the blame for the loss. “We didn’t bring it.” Westfield will attempt to get things back on track Tuesday night at West Springfield. The game, which will be played at Westfield’s Eric Shilyuk sizes up the ball, and the field, before Clark Field, will begin at 7 making a move against the Minnechaug defense. The Falcons’ p.m. bench looks on from the sidelines. (Photo by Chris Putz)

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Confused and Hurting Dear Annie: Recently, our 18-year-old son chose to take his life soon after his high school graduation. Now we are left trying to pick up the pieces and move forward. We live in a small community, and everyone is well aware of what happened. Our youngest son just started the sixth grade and came home sad. He says he feels that he doesn’t have friends anymore and that everyone is talking about him behind his back. The parents of his used-to-be friends have shunned him because of what has happened in our family. I have felt the snubbing as well with my own encounters. I have contacted our middle school guidance counselor, and she will keep an eye out for our son, but how do we stand up for ourselves? We feel devastated. We not only lost our beloved son, but we feel like outcasts in our own community. Moving is not a possibility right now. What can we do? -- Confused and Hurting Dear Confused: Our heartfelt condolences on the loss of your son. We know this is a terribly painful time for your family, and it is hardly a comfort for us to say that time will alleviate some of your concerns about your community. Until then, please contact the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (afsp.org). You can find information, referrals to therapists, and support groups where you can share your grief with others who have suffered a similar tragedy. They also can connect you to support groups for children and teens. Dear Annie: Our father has become a rather strange miser. He doesn’t hoard his money. Instead, he manipulates others to obtain things for free. When he needed Band-Aids, he finagled a handful when he went to the doctor (and also asked for pharmaceutical samples). When he needed rubber bands, he stopped the postman. He tells his neighbor that he’s a horrible cook and encourages them to bring him their leftovers. Money is not the issue. Is he being a master manipulator, or is this normal? -- Bewildered in California Dear California: A lot of people do this, either to save money or because they get a mild thrill out of the ability to snag freebies. If Dad has always been like this, we wouldn’t worry. He isn’t stealing or hoarding, and people are willing to enable this behavior. However, if this is a recent development, please get Dad to his doctor for a full checkup. New and odd behaviors can be symptoms of underlying medical conditions (e.g., small strokes) that require treatment. Dear Annie: You often recommend Al-Anon for spouses of alcoholics. I was led to Al-Anon 38 years ago, and it saved my life and those of my children. I learned about how alcoholism affects the whole family. I also learned that we are so centered on the alcoholic that our lives revolve around him. But in Al-Anon, I changed my focus and became happier. My husband was a wonderful man afflicted by the disease of alcoholism. I tried for 10 years to change him, only to discover that I probably hindered his recovery by thinking his drinking was partly my fault. Discovering that he was sick and that I had also become sick because of his drinking was an eye opener. Three years before he died, he wrote that if it hadn’t been for the Al-Anon program, we would not be together today. What a beautiful written memory our children have of their father. I encourage anyone out there to try Al-Anon. You might be surprised at what you can learn at a meeting. For information, call 1-888-4AL-ANON (1-888-425-2666) or visit www.al-anon. alateen.org. -- B. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
HINTS FROM HELOISE Only One Way to Clean Clothing? Dear Readers: Do you read those tiny clothing CARE LABELS on items you are thinking about buying or haven’t worn in a while? Do you know what they mean? Here’s the scoop: The Federal Trade Commission requires that only ONE method of cleaning be printed on the tag. If an item says “dry clean only,” then please take your garment to the dry cleaner. But if it says just “dry clean,” this may not be the only way to clean your piece of clothing. Before taking your clothes straight to the dry cleaner, try testing to see if you might be able to hand-wash them. Use a small, unseen part of the garment (like an inside seam) and wet with water. If the colors do not run, the garment is safe to hand-wash, and you can save your money for something else! -- Heloise NEVER AT A LOSS Dear Heloise: Recently, I rescued my grandson from the airport when his flight was canceled and rescheduled for 18 hours later. Of course, his luggage was checked, and he didn’t have any clothes or a toothbrush. I purchase toothbrushes when they’re on sale, along with trial-size toothpastes. I keep them in the spare bathroom for others to use when they don’t have a toothbrush. They can take the toothbrush with them, or I turn it into a house-cleaning tool if they don’t take it. -- Lillian S. in Texas

HOROSCOPE

By Jaqueline Bigar
DOG EAT DOUG
Brian Anderson
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Oct. 2, 2014: This year you want to make a difference, and you probably will within your immediate circle. You notice that others often have a strong reaction to you, which is new. Zero in on your mutual priorities when dealing with your differences. If you are single, a friendship could evolve into something more, but it could create some awkward moments. Perhaps honoring the friendship first will help you get through this period. If you are attached, your significant other’s opinions often differ from yours. With much back-and-forth, you will realize that you both want the same things. CAPRICORN can irritate you. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Your reactions could come across as strong and harsh. You probably can’t hide your feelings, but you might feel very awkward when dealing with a child or loved one. Your response could shock even you. Relax and think before you speak. Tonight: Out and about. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Reach out to someone you care about, but know that what you hear might surprise you. You come from a solid point of view. Offbeat thinking will force you to stop and regroup, and you will come up with a practical plan as a result. Tonight: Let someone be distant. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Recognize that you have control over yourself but not someone else. In fact, a close loved one or family member will need to figure out his or her own priorities. You can help or comment, but you might risk having this person close down if you do. Tonight: Visit over dinner. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You might consider having a heart-to-heart talk with someone who seems to be in control of his or her life, and it could have a big effect on you. Use good sense with spending. Someone will reach out to invite you to join him or her for some fun. Tonight: Say “yes.” LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You might be at odds with your own plans now that you are at the point of acting on them. A new insight will encourage you to back off and rethink what you are doing. Some caution could go a long way! Tonight: Get several important errands done. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH You have a lot to share, and so do others. Your goodwill and caring will come through. You will see the results of someone’s decisions. Communication flourishes. If you are single, you could be looking at more than a friendship. Tonight: Get into weekend mode. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Keep your priorities straight, and stay anchored. Let others put in their two cents. You might feel as if there is a lack of support from an important friend. Use caution when spending money on an investment or a home repair. Investigate alternatives. Tonight: Hang with your friends. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You could be overly concerned about a call or email. Do some research before reacting -- there will be another path to the same result. You might want to rethink a decision with care. Know what you desire from a situation. Tonight: Find your friends. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You will like being mellow. You might not be in the mood to take action, but a sudden reversal could cause your adrenaline to surge. Once energized, you naturally will respond and make the right choices. The cheerleader in you returns. Tonight: Make it OK to say “no.” CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You will think that you are on cruise control, but you are likely to hit some obstacles if you are not careful. A well-meaning friend could make you feel unusually self-conscious. You might need to stop and regroup. Tonight: Decide what you want before making plans. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You might not be comfortable assuming the role you are in, yet you’ll see the benefits. You could be dealing with a difficult person and will need to revise your thinking accordingly. Trying to control this person will backfire, and it won’t bring what you want. Tonight: Vanish. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH A meeting could set the tone

Crosswords
of your day. You have so much energy that others won’t be able to keep up with you. Take an overview, and question whether you are approaching a situation in the best, most positive way possible. Tonight: Act like the weekend is here.

Bengals will be back in action following a bye after they won their first three games. The Patriots are 2-2 after the second most lopsided loss of Brady’s 15-year career. But he says it’s important not to ride the wave of emotion that comes with winning or losing. And he says he hasn’t paid much attention to criticism he’s received from television analysts after the latest loss.
