Westfield Woman’s Club celebrates 100th

By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Much has changed in the city of Westfield over the past 100 years but there have been a few constants, like the the Westfield Woman’s Club.

The organization boasts over 200 members and has assisted, contributed and donated time and resources to a wide array of causes near and dear to the hearts of the membership body, many of whom have been involved for years.

“I’ve been with the Woman’s Club since the ’70s and it’s a great organization. It’s wonderful,” said Club President Lillian Hebert, who served as the organization’s treasurer in the ’80s. “Years ago, it was so different – it was very formal, you had to dress up with the hat and the gloves and it was very cliquey.”

Today, the Women’s Club has shed much of that arcane formality, but still maintains a considerable community presence.

“We have all varieties of people

By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Yesterday, the board of trustees at Westfield State University decided to resume the search for the school’s next president.

Trustees Steven Marcus and Tirrell Hill were selected to serve as chair and vice chair of the board’s presidential search committee on April 10, but the search was put off while the board awaited the findings of Inspector General Glenn Cunha’s investigation into the spending scandal that led to the retirement of former university president Dr. Evan S. Dobelle.

The report was released on July 31.

Board Chair Elizabeth Scheibel said last night that she, Marcus and board Finance Committee Chair Kevin Queenin spoke with various campus leaders at the behest of Interim University President Dr. Elizabeth Preston, regarding their thoughts on the search.

Interim Vice President Dr. Kimberly Tobin, Vice President of Student Affairs Dr. Carlton Pickron, Vice President of Academic Affairs Dr. Marsha Marotta and Vice President of

Advancement and University Relations Kenneth Lemanski, along with union leadership on campus, all weighed in.

“I have to say, it was an excellent suggestion,” said Scheibel of Preston’s request.

“It was very enlightening and helpful and it clearly guided me in what I think we ought to be doing.”

“It was a joy to communicate with our vice presidents and to feel their enthusiasm about our university and where they feel they should be going,” said Marcus. “Their hearts are filled with love for this university – they’re committed people and they want the best for this university. For me, it was an opportunity to focus in on where the real stuff is.”

Marcus said that campus leadership is “ready to gear up for this presidential search” and wants make sure the search committee chooses a wise leader.

“I think we are ready to move forward. We have a process where the first step is to engage a search firm,” said Scheibel.

“There is an RFP (request for See Search, Page 3

here. Everybody gets along good.

We’re all workers,” said Hebert.

“We’ve added a lot of new programs but we’re still carrying on the traditions that we started 100 years ago.”

“We’re still working with the community for the community and the

people in Westfield have accepted us,” she said. “We used to hear a lot of flak – ‘we don’t want to join the Women’s Club, it’s too stuffy’ – but we’ve lost that and we love that.”

By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – A common driveway bylaw will be put to voters at the special Town Meeting this fall.

The meeting, which has not yet been set, will include a warrant for a common driveway bylaw, as well as a general driveway bylaw.

This week, the Southwick Planning Board held a public hearing on the common driveway bylaw and one resident, Marcus Phelps, raised several concerns, including the lack of allowing a common driveway to provide access to an estate lot.

Vice Chairperson Roz Terry said that was an issue the common driveway subcommittee wrestled with throughout its discussions.

“In the end, the committee decided against it because an estate lot already needs a special permit,” Terry said.

She added that the committee did not want to bog down an estate lot with even more permits and restrictions.

Phelps also asked to replace a word under the general requirements.

Town liquor license policy to be updated

By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – The Board of Selectmen made several decisions this week regarding liquor licenses.

Among them was the acceptance of change of hours for Saunders Package Store and Oak and Keg Package Store under Form 43. The new hours reflect the state law allowing package stores to open at 10 a.m. on Sundays.

The board also approved a new officer/director and transfer of stock for Patricia Scuderi of Scuderi Enterprises, Inc. d/b/a The Cove, The Cove, located at 90 Point Grove Road, consists of a first floor and lower level. The first floor consists of one kitchen, one banquet room, one outside patio, one lounge,

three bathrooms, one coat room and three exits/entrances.

The lower level consists of two banquet rooms, one bar, three storage rooms and two exits/entrances. The first floor is 5,814 square feet and the ower level is 5,394 square feet, with an outside patio of 4,154 square feet and a second level being 3,833 square-feet.

The board this week also reviewed the town’s Club Liquor License policy with Det. Sgt. Robert Landis of the Southwick Police Department.

The current regulations have been in place since 1996 and did not include TIPS training requirements, which are now part of every license renewal.

Pedestrian, bicycling improvements targeted

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A special committee created to enhance alternative transportation in the city initiated a broad discussion yesterday of a sustainable transportation plan which could translate into an element of the city’s master plan.

The Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning Advisory Committee was formed by the Planning Board “to promote, enhance, and restore physical, social, political and economic environment in which bicycling, walking, and alternate transportation are valued as essential for a clean, safe, healthy and vital community.”

The committee membership includes city officials, as well as residents. The Friends of the Columbia Greenway, the Westfield Senior Center and the Westfield Police Department were all represented.

This initial meeting was a scoping out session as members attempted to determine the directions in which their efforts should lie with so many possible vectors of interest.

Don Podolski of a number of bicycling organizations at the local, state, regional and national levels, opened a discussion on ways to make Westfield “more bike-friendly” by improving bike security.

“We don’t have adequate (bike security) facilities downtown,” Podolski said. “Right now if you want to go into a store or restaurant you have to secure your bicycle to a tree or lamp pole.”

Principal Planner Jay Vinskey said that the Planning Board plans to add a bicycle racks requirement to future commercial special permits as a condition of that use and that the city will add secure racks as an element of the Gaslight District Improvement project.

Joe Giffune said that the Columbia Greenway will be much more than a facility used for recreation.

“We’ll be seeing a lot more bicycle traffic (downtown) with the opening of the new section,” Giffune said. “It will become more utilitarian as people use bicycles to do their business and we’re not ready for that. We’re going to see a big impact downtown as people start using bikes to get things done.”

Planning Board member Peter Fiordalice said his concern with that increase in bicycle traffic is people, both bicyclists and motorists, knowing the laws, which were amended several years ago, pertaining to the rules of the road.

“It’s going to take a long time to get that message out, to change the mindset that Westfield is a bicycling community,”

Fiordalice said.

George Hart said that the city needs to implement a broad education plan for all constituencies using the roads, pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists, an educational program which could be as diverse as painting lanes on the pavement, to outreach through schools, social and religious networks.

Podolski said that currently state law prohibits riding bicycles on the sidewalks in a “commercial area” while the city’s ordinance is a prohibition against riding on any sidewalk in the city.

“I’d like to amend that by age of the rider and location of the sidewalk,” Podolski.

City Engineer Mark Cressotti agreed that in rural areas of the city bicyclists should be allowed to use sidewalks because many rural roads are narrow and winding which limits the sight line of both bicyclists and motorists, but added that for downtown that approach will create a bicycle-pedestrian conflict.

Vinskey said that some of the recommendations coming from the committee will require ordinance changes recommended by the Planning Board and approved by the City Council.

The committee members identified law enforcement as a key element in making the city pedestrian and bicycle friendly for all the

“In bicycleafriendly communities, enforcement is one of the six areas of focus,” Podolski said.

A priority of the committee will be to solicit public input through meetings and perhaps a website. The groups schedule includes a “public input event” to be slated for Nov. 13 as part of the public hearing on the Columbia Greenway northern section, which is the railroad bridge across the Westfield River.

The state Department of Transportation will conduct that public hearing which Cressotti plans to piggyback on to seek input on the sustainable transportation program.

Florida paper gets check, apology 50 years later LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) — Seventythree-year-old Navy veteran Bernard Schermerhorn says he’s the kind of guy who tries to follow the straight and narrow.

But during some high school hijinks more than 50 years ago, he and a buddy stole several newspaper racks that belonged to The Ledger in Florida.

They kept a handful of change and dumped the stands. Schermerhorn says it’s weighed on his conscience over the years and last month he aimed to make it right.

The newspaper reports (http://tinyurl. com/kour7fv ) the former Lakeland resident sent a $200 check and an apology.

He tells the newspaper from his home in La Mesa, California, this week that he just got to thinking about the prank and decided, “Hey, send them the money.

It’s just not right to not pay it back.”

The Ledger (http://tinyurl.com/ kour7fv ) says the publisher planned to donate the funds to a group that helps victims of domestic sex trafficking.

The board agreed that relocated was the word intended,

“In my estimation, it’s going to be January before that part is completed. I propose that we proceed with the search,” she said of the firm selection process. “I feel very comfortable in saying that this process should grow organically.”

Scheibel said that she wants the search to be “inclusive” of the campus and added that she is against setting a timetable on finding a new leader.

“We want your voices to be heard and we’ll develop – with guidance and assistance – a process that we hope will make people feel that they are part of this (search),” she said. “I’m clear in my own mind – let’s let it go the way it goes so we can get the very best person that we can get.”

Scheibel acknowledged that the board’s newest additions – Robert Johnson, Dr. Robert Martin, Madeline Landrau and Dr. Linda Slakey – would give the board a full compliment of members who can help with the process.

“Rather than focus on the start date, we have to focus on the process,” said Queenin. “(The process) will ultimately define the date. It’s imperative that we start the process, engage the campus community and others.”

“The timeline will be created by the search firm, the trustees and the campus community,” he said. “Beginning the process thoughtfully will steer us to where we need to go.”

“Universities are more than – and are stronger than – the people that lead them,” said Martin.

“It also demonstrates what a president is and is not. It’s important to do the foundational work now with regard to the search.”

Martin, who last served at Westfield State University as Dean of Undergraduate Studies and Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs and recently was interim President at Framingham State University, agreed that setting a timeline

Landis said he sent all liquor licensees a letter letting them know who he is and that he would be their police contact.

“Basically it says we are starting fresh, gives guidelines, and says if they get called in, they can’t say they didn’t know (about the regulations),” Landis said.

Town Counsel Benjamin Coyle said the regulations would be published and a draft copy sent to each licensee.

Selectmen Administrative Assistant Sondra Pendleton, who processes liquor license applications, said she hoped to have the updated regulations in place soon.

“Hopefully we can get it done by the end of the year and start the new year fresh,” she said.

Any liquor license owner in town with questions should contact Pendleton at Town Hall or Landis at the police department.

COMMENT

Public apathy for patronizing local downtown merchants is nothing new. The big question is, why? Parking spaces, or the lack of, seems to come up a lot, but is that really the reason?

Just about everything situated downtown is within a block of parking, yet people will go to the mall and walk 10 to 20 times that distance. Another common excuse is, there’s just nothing there. How do you know, have you checked it out lately, can you actually name all the businesses of downtown, without going there now and looking? Sure, the venue could be much more diverse, and that would be great. But, therein lies the conundrum. No one wants to take the time to shop at a few specialty stores, when they can go elsewhere and find big-box all in one shopping, which further exacerbates the problem.

Waiting around for more businesses to open isn’t going to happen unless, the ones already in place are vibrant, nobody will open a store where there isn’t any call for it.

So, if we want this to happen, we, as a city need to make something happen.If people start shopping downtown and want to find more, eventually that’s what would happen, that’s how it works. If more people would crowd the businesses that are there, more businesses would follow the crowd!

Study: Voter ID laws hit minorities WASHINGTON (AP) — States that toughened their voter identification laws saw steeper drops in election turnout than those that did not, with disproportionate falloffs among black and younger voters, a nonpartisan congressional study released Wednesday concluded.

As of June, 33 states have enacted laws obligating voters to show a photo ID at the polls, the study said. Republicans who have pushed the legislation say the requirement will reduce fraud, but Democrats insist the laws are a GOP effort to reduce Democratic turnout on Election Day. The report by the Government Accountability Office, Congress’ investigative agency, was released less than a month from elections that will determine which party controls Congress.

The office compared election turnout in Kansas and Tennessee — which tightened voter ID requirements between the 2008 and 2012 elections — to voting in four states that didn’t change their identification requirements.

It estimated that reductions in voter turnout were about 2 percent greater in Kansas and from 2 percent to 3 percent steeper in Tennessee than they were in the other states examined. The four other states, which did not make their voter ID laws stricter, were Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, and Maine.

“GAO’s analysis suggests that the turnout decreases in Kansas and Tennessee beyond decreases in the comparison states were attributable to changes in those two states’ voter ID requirements,” the report said.

The study cautioned that the results from Kansas and Tennessee don’t necessarily apply to other states with stricter ID laws. It also found that of 10 other studies that mostly focused on voting before 2008, five found no significant impact from voter ID laws, four found decreases and one found an increase.

The report said that in Kansas and Tennessee, reduced voter turnout was sharper among people aged 18 to 23 than among those from 44 to 53. The drop was also more pronounced among blacks than whites, Hispanics or Asians and was greater among newly registered voters than those registered at least 20 years.

Estimated falloff among black voters was nearly 4 percent greater than it was among whites in Kansas, and almost 2 percent larger among blacks than for whites in Tennessee, the report said.

Young people and blacks generally tend to support Democratic candidates.

A group of Democratic senators including Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and Vermont independent Sen. Bernard Sanders requested the study and said Wednesday that it confirmed their arguments and reaffirmed the need to pass legislation making it harder to curb voting.

“This study confirms the real impact of Republican efforts to limit access to the ballot box. Playing politics with the right to vote is a shameful practice,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).

First U.S. Ebola patient dies

By Susan Levine and Heather Caygle Politico.com The Liberian national who became the first diagnosed U.S. case of Ebola died Wednesday morning in a Dallas hospital.

“It is with profound sadness and heartfelt disappointment that we must inform you of the death of Thomas Eric Duncan,” Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital said in a statement. “He fought courageously in this battle.”

Duncan, who was exposed to the virus before leaving his country on Sept. 19, had been hospitalized for 10 days. Over the weekend, he was put on a ventilator and kidney dialysis and began receiving the experimental antiviral drug brincidofovir.

His case has triggered intense scrutiny in part because of the hospital’s decision not to admit him when he first came to its emergency department on Sept. 25. Instead, despite his recent travel history and symptoms of fever and abdominal pain, he was sent home without an Ebola diagnosis. That delayed his treatment and may have exposed more people in the community. He returned to the hospital by ambulance, far sicker, on Sept. 28.

State Health Commissioner David Lakey said in a statement following Duncan’s death that “the past week has been an enormous test of our health system” and offered his condolences to Duncan’s family. Several relatives in Dallas remain under quarantine order for their potential exposure.

Those family members and nearly four dozen other local residents being monitored because of their direct or indirect contact with Duncan have not shown any signs of the disease, according to public health officials. However, the three-week incubation period is not yet over.

“We’ll continue every effort to contain the spread of the virus and protect people from this threat,” Lakey said.

The federal government continues to adapt its response to the disease both in the United States and as part of an international response to the worst Ebola outbreak in history — which had claimed nearly 3,900 lives in West Africa as of Sunday. Although Duncan had no symptoms when he flew here, his case immediately prompted calls for greater checks of arriving travelers.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Wednesday that enhanced screening will begin at five major U.S. airports, including JFK International in New York City on Saturday and Washington Dulles, Newark Liberty, Chicago O’Hare and Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson early next week.

“We’re stepping up protections for people coming into the country and for Americans related to travel,” CDC Director Tom Frieden said during a briefing.

People flying from Ebola hot spots will now have their temperatures taken with a non-contact thermometer; those who have a fever or other symptoms will be evaluated by a CDC quarantine station public health officer. Passengers not showing a fever or other symptoms will have to fill out a health questionnaire and will be asked to do daily temperature checks and provide their contact information.

People leaving West Africa already go through similar exit

screening procedures before their departing flights.

Personnel from Customs and Border Protection “will continue to observe all travelers entering the United States for general overt signs of illnesses at all U.S. ports of entry, and these expanded screening measures will provide an additional layer of protection to help ensure the risk of Ebola in the United States is minimized,” said Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas.

The five airports listed handle more than 94 percent of travelers coming from Ebola-affected countries, CDC said. JFK alone receives nearly half of those passengers.

A person infected with Ebola may not begin to experience its fever, abdominal distress, vomiting, diarrhea and external bleeding for up to 21 days after exposure. Although the disease is transmitted through contact with bodily fluids, a person without symptoms is not contagious.

In Texas, the state health agency announced Wednesday afternoon that Duncan’s family in Dallas had agreed to his cremation.

“We will continue to treat Mr. Duncan with dignity and respect, and we’re taking great care to make sure there is no additional risk that others could be infected,” Lakey said in a release.

Ebola can be spread even after death by contact with an infected person’s bodily fluids. The CDC recommends careful preparation of a body before transport, “including enclosing it in two bags and disinfecting the bags.

“After this process, the body can be transported without the need for protective gear for a driver or others who are near the body but don’t handle the remains,” the state release explained.

“CDC guidelines say remains infected with Ebola can be cremated or ‘buried promptly in a hermetically sealed casket.’”

Midafternoon Wednesday, the Dallas area again went on heightened alert after a sick person claiming to have had contact with Duncan’s relatives — though not Duncan himself — was taken to Texas Health Presbyterian for assessment. The man was identified by local media as a deputy who accompanied Dallas County health officials into the apartment where Duncan had been staying. The deputy did not wear protective gear, according to WFAA. The Texas state health commission said the individual was not among the 48 direct or indirect contacts of Duncan currently being monitored. CDC’s Frieden echoed that in stating during his media briefing that there was “neither definite contact nor definite symptoms” with the other person. But the man is being assessed, to be safe.

Review of how Texas Health Presbyterian handled Duncan’s care continues.

During a hearing Tuesday before a Texas Senate health committee, one of the doctors treating him acknowledged that the hospital was investigating the ER problems that failed to initially identify Duncan’s symptoms as possible Ebola.

The specifics “are being thoroughly reviewed,” said Gary

Weinstein, chief of pulmonary and critical care medicine. “The results of that review will be made available once they’re compiled.”

When Duncan returned to Texas Health Presbyterian via ambulance two days later, Weinstein recounted, the staff was alerted in advance by paramedics that he was “a very suspect case.” He was admitted, and the entire intensive care unit cleared for him, Weinstein told legislators.

The physician concluded his testimony by saying “there will be lots of lessons learned.”

In a statement Wednesday afternoon, the Dallas woman identified both as Duncan’s partner and fiancée said his family was dealing with “deep sadness and grief.” She also mentioned her anger that Duncan’s son was not able to see him before he died.

“I trust a thorough examination will take place regarding all aspects of his care,” Louise Troh said. “This will take some time, but in the end, I believe in a merciful God.” Two other people are currently being treated in U.S. hospitals for Ebola, but both became sick while in West Africa. One is an NBC freelance cameraman, who is hospitalized at Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. Another person, who has not been identified, remains at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.

The latest information on the outbreak, released Wednesday by the World Health Organization, shows that Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea recorded 8,011 cases of Ebola through the weekend.

Underreporting and problems in data gathering are still significant, and the situation in each country “continues to deteriorate, with widespread and persistent transmission,” WHO said.

By Mark Auerbach For tickets: 860-527-5151 or www.hartfordstage.org.

Hamlet Fresh off a Tony Award win for Broadway’s hit musical, “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder”, Darko Tresnjak, Hartford Stage Artistic Director returns to home base to direct and design Shakespeare’s masterpiece, “Hamlet”. (October 16-November 16).

For this evening of bloody drama, and major family dysfunction, there is nothing like a Darko Tresnjak directs Dane. “Hamlet”, a Danish Hartford Stage’s “Hamlet”. prince, returns home to find his (Photo by The Defining Photo) father killed, and his mother marrying his uncle, the murderer. When Dad’s ghost rises to demand retribution, Hamlet is put in an impossible situation. In an opulent, Elizabethan staging, Hamlet, the tragic tale of revenge and retribution will get the full-on, terrifying and bloody treatment.

One of the best tragedies ever written, and (in the right hands) a blockbuster for over 400 years, “Hamlet” offers a compelling story of a prince surrounded by evil, and a challenge for a director and an actor. Many of the world’s best actors have taken on the role of Hamlet, from John Gielgud to Laurence Olivier to Richard Burton and Jude Law. In Hartford, Zach Appelman gets the part. Appleman, an alum of Zach Appelman is “Hamlet” Broadway’s “War Horse”, Julie Taymor’s production of “A at Hartford Stage.

Midsummer Night’s Dream”, and the title role in “Henry V” at The Folger, is a Yale School of Drama graduate. His recent TV and film appearances include “Sleepy Hollow,” “Homeland,” “Black Box,” and the film version of Taymor’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”.

Designer and director Darko Tresnjak says, “Shakespeare’s most famous play is both a bold theatrical thriller and a literary masterpiece. It has captured the imagination of the world, on the page and on the stage, for over four centuries. I look forward to exploring “Hamlet” with this wonderful acting ensemble headed

by Zach Appelman.”

Joy Behar Comedian/talk show host, Joy Behar brings her stand-up tour to Pittsfield’s Colonial Theatre, presented by The Berkshire Theatre Group, on October 17. With more than 30 years on stage and screen, Behar’s one-woman show takes a journey from her rollicking childhood in Brooklyn to center stage as one of America’s most notable talk show hosts and comedians. As Behar says, “It’s a good time to take stock of my shenanigans.”

Behar is a comedic original and a leading woman both on stage and screen. She received an Emmy Award for her performance on “The View”, where she was a member of the cast for sixteen years. She also hosted her own talk shows, “The Joy Behar Show” on HLN and “Say Anything” on Current TV. Behar’s television appearances include the voice of a hilariously neurotic patient on “Dr. Katz,” which won the CableACE Award, “Buzz Lightyear of Star Command,” “Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story,” “Late Night with Conan O’Brien,” “Celebrity Poker Showdown,” “It’s Gary Shandling’s Show,” “Comic Relief 2006,” “Last Comic Standing,” “Bette,” “Spin City,” and “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.” She has recently appeared on “30 Rock,” “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” “Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D List,” “One Life to Live,” SOAPnet’s “Relative Madness” and “All My Children” and “Real Time” with Bill Maher. Behar has also been a frequent substitute host for Larry King on “Larry King Live” on CNN. Behar’s first book “Joy Shtick: or What Is the Existential Vacuum and Does It Come with Attachments?” and her first children’s book “Sheetzucacapoopoo: My Kind of Dog” both appeared on the New York Times best seller list. Ms. Behar’s recent book is “When You Need A Lift”.

Saints top Pioneer; Tigers now 11-0

By Chris Putz Staff Writer WESTFIELD – St. Mary erased a nightmarish performance suffered against Commerce, emerging victorious against Pioneer Valley 1-0 in a well-played boys’ soccer game Wednesday at Westfield Middle School North.

Zac Girard scored the game-winner in the second half.

Girard took a pass from Alex Parentella, made a nice turn in the box, and drilled a hard liner off the hand of Pioneer goalie Jacob Hill (22 saves) into the lower left corner of the net.

Colin Blake made nine saves, including a key stop in the final five minutes of regulation, punching away a breakaway effort.

Tigers win 11th straight Westfield Voc-Tech 2, Greenfield 0 Alex Makarchuk and Alex Stepanchuk tallied one goal apiece, and Vitally Covileac earned a shutout in goal for unbeaten Westfield Voc-Tech.

Tigers’ Tyler Hall, Mike Brut, Roman Tikhonchuk, Peter Melnik, and Nick Clegg did a superb job shutting down Greenfield’s attack.

Westfield also had a chance on a pair of penalty kicks, but failed to convert. “(That made) things a little harder on us,” Voc-Tech coach Kyle Dulude said.

The Tigers improved to 11-0.

goal, and landed one assist.

“He had a big game for sure,” Westfield coach Andrew Joseph said of his senior defenseman, who was shifted on to the offensive side of the field after receiving the card.

Graydon assisted on Dante White’s goal. Chris Sullivan also had an assist for the Bombers.

Westfield goalie Ian Saltmarsh made some key saves, and Bombers’ midfielder Matt Butera delivered a solid effort.

By Chris Putz Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Act Two is set to unfold.

The second act is about to begin for the Westfield High School football team. It actually might be the third take, depending on one’s perspective.

This past offseason, longtime head coach Bill Moore retired as head coach ROBERT PARENT of the Westfield WHS Head Bombers. First-year Football Coach head coach Rocco Fernandez resigned last Sunday for what he cited as “personal reasons.”

In his place, Robert Parent, a spry 24-year-old and city resident, was lured away from his position as assistant coach at Commerce to become the interim head coach of Westfield High football.

“Opportunity knocked and I answered the door,” said coach Parent, following Wednesday night’s practice session. “I want to change the minds and lives of some boys as they become young men.

The Bombers may be 1-3, and in the midst of a three-game losing streak. That slate has been wiped clean.

“It’s a low-risk, high-reward scenario,” Parent said.

“With controversy surrounding this team, there are low expectations. You can change the minds of people in a heartbeat. A solid 48 minutes of football, and people will start thinking the other way.”

The first challenge will take place this Friday night when Parent steps on to the field with his new team to take on, arguably, the region’s best team, the unbeaten Longmeadow Lancers (4-0). Kickoff at Bullens Field is at 7 p.m.

There will not be sweeping changes in the offensive and defensive schemes, according to Parent, but rather “tweaks,” he said.

“We’re going to stick to what we’re good at, and try to avoid big plays,” the new Bombers coach explained.

“I’m not going in and changing the world over in a six-month period. We’re going to keep it simple as we can. As long as these kids are enjoying playing the game of football, they can forget about all the nonsense surrounding the team.”

Notes: Parent was a quarterback at American International College from 2008-11, a Springfield CYO coach, and assistant coach at Commerce for the last two years.

Annie’s Mailbox

By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

Tiredof Sponger Dear Annie: An acquaintance of mine (I’ll call her “Minnie”) drops by our home once a week and stays for several hours. If we offer her a beer, she protests a little bit, but then says, “Well, OK,” and then asks what kind of wine or liquor we have. She somehow makes it seem as though she is doing us a favor by accepting what we offer and then lets us know about the better alcohol she is accustomed to.

Our neighbor told us that Minnie does the same thing at her place, always promising to bring something special to reciprocate, but she never does. The neighbor laughs it off, but we feel like suckers. Minnie talks about cutting back on alcohol to lose weight, but it’s obvious she’ll drink if it’s free.

Other than not answering the door when Minnie shows up, is there a way to confront her without making her belligerent? We see each other and don’t want hard feelings. -- Tired of Sponger Dear Tired: If you don’t want Minnie drinking your booze, stop offering it to her. You can open the door and be polite and friendly but not ask whether she’d like a beer. If she says she’s thirsty, offer her a cool glass of water. You don’t have to confront her at all or create any hard feelings. You simply need to be less accommodating. We suspect after a few such dry visits, she will spend less time knocking on your door.

Dear Annie: As the holidays approach, so does gift giving.

This is one of my favorite holiday traditions. I am not well off by any means, and my gifts usually consist of thoughtful homemade items. I love seeing the recipients open the gifts, watching their surprise and delight, and knowing they feel special because I have put so much thought into personalizing their present.

Here’s the dilemma: Many of my family members are well off, yet I rarely receive gifts from them. I get flimsy excuses instead.

I normally say “OK” and brush it off, but after years of this dismissive behavior, I am not sure I can continue to keep giving, giving, giving, especially when it is difficult for me financially.

I don’t give presents with the expectation that I will get something in return, but once in a while, I would certainly appreciate feeling the same way my recipients do when opening a gift. I’d like to know what that’s like.

Should I stop giving my homemade items to stingy family members and sell them instead? -- Torn in Pennsylvania Dear Torn: Are you certain your family members truly enjoy these presents? Not everyone appreciates a homemade item, and you may be misinterpreting their response. Even so, they should reciprocate in some way for your generosity. You certainly ought to stop giving them personalized gifts that you cannot afford.

Either bake some cookies, or use your creativity for a holiday card and stop giving gifts altogether. The choice is yours.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Frustrated Mom,” whose daughter is overweight. In my teens, I was 15 pounds overweight, and my mother harped on my eating constantly. But I showed her! By the time I was 67, I was 200 pounds overweight.

I had high blood pressure, high cholesterol and could barely walk.

Sixteen months ago, I had gastric bypass surgery and have lost 162 pounds. My surgeon said, “You are a success story.” Never again can I enjoy the sinfully rich food I used to, but my cholesterol, blood pressure and arthritis are under control.

I think of food all day. Not because I want it so badly, but because I have to plan my day around it. My stomach is the size of an egg, but I’m healthier, happier, have a new wardrobe and love it when people say I look fabulous. I will live to see my grandkids marry. -- Blessed in California Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net.

HINTS FROM HELOISE Preview the Menu Dear Heloise: When we are GOING OUT TO EAT in a restaurant, I go online beforehand to read the menu. This speeds up the ordering process considerably. -- Barbara C., Amarillo, Texas Yes, it does, especially if there are a lot of people with your group!

Nothing slows things down, particularly during the busy dinner or lunch rush, like a large (or even small) table of diners taking way too long to order. -- Heloise HOLEY SOCKS Dear Heloise: Instead of throwing out socks when there is a hole in the toe, here is an easy way to sew up the hole: Turn the sock inside out. Pull it over a cold light bulb with the hole at the top. This stretches the material and stabilizes it. Place the bulb between your knees to steady it. This frees up both hands to easily hold the material and sew it up. -- Bea L., Wellington, Fla. This is a popular hint, but a safer one is to use a tennis ball.

No worries about a tennis ball shattering. -- Heloise WEEDS BEGONE! Dear Heloise: I have a bunch of weeds growing on the sides of my driveway, in front of my house and along a stone wall. I seem to remember reading something in your column about using vinegar. I would hate to waste vinegar if I’m not remembering right, which I am sorry to say is not beyond the realm of possibility. Please help! -- Gary V., via email

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You might be concerned about your spending, yet on some level, you could feel incapable of changing the situation. Your imagination is likely to encourage you to take a risk. You will want to have a reality check and a sound conversation. Tonight: All smiles.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You will want to work through a problem. Someone who is involved could be in your face, and his or her anger might be difficult to handle.

Revisit a long-term goal before saying anything. With a fresh perspective, you will see the whole matter differently.

Tonight: Be spontaneous.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Use your instincts, and do some thinking about the ramification of dealing with an angry person. You might believe that you can handle the situation, but a surprise could be on the way. A parent or older person might be a little too vague for your taste. Tonight: Not to be found.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Listen to what is being shared by a friend. You could feel uncomfortable expressing exactly what is on your mind. You might not be as sure of yourself as you’d like to be. Don’t worry -you are surrounded by friends. Tonight: Only where people are.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You can’t avoid the limelight, and in truth, that doesn’t bother you at all. You were born to be in the spotlight, and you love to be complimented. You could feel awkward when dealing with a new friend’s feelings. Tonight: Listen to a loved one’s suggestion.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Reach out to someone at a distance whom you really care about.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Pressure builds around a personal situation involving a partner who wants what he or she wants and is unwilling to compromise. You could be hitting your head against the wall, but accept that it is futile to try to change this person’s mind. Accept the situation.

Tonight: Out late.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Defer to others, as they seem to have a different opinion of how things should be done. You might be escaping your feelings through some type of indulgence. Your creativity will come out if you relax. A solution will appear as a result. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You are likely to maintain a fairly even pace, which means you could accomplish more than you even thought possible. You also seem to be more easily angered than usual. Be careful when expressing these feelings. Follow your intuition. Tonight: Know when to call it a night.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could be looking for a new idea or a better solution. Allow more creativity to flow. Give up your need to have everything be logical; rather, go with your intuition, especially trying to resolve what appeared to be an unresolvable issue. Tonight: Play it easy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You might want to go with the moment and get to the bottom of a problem. By saying less and listening more, you will find an answer. You could want to share your impressions before you decide that you’re right.

Tight end Wright getting comfortable with Patriots

By HOWARD ULMAN AP Sports Writer FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Tim Wright hurried to learn a different offense when he was traded to the New England Patriots less than two weeks before the season.

The second-year tight end feels much more comfortable now.

Comfortable enough to come up behind Tom Brady, pound on the star quarterback’s shoulder and embrace him after they connected on a touchdown pass for the first time.

“Caught up in the moment,” Wright said Wednesday. “It was a great feeling.”

Brady hit Wright for a 17-yard touchdown that gave the Patriots a 14-0 lead in their 43-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals last Sunday night. It was one of a season-high five catches for Wright.

That performance came at an opportune time as impatient fans were wondering why the Patriots traded six-time Pro Bowl left guard Logan Mankins to Tampa Bay for Wright. After all, Wright was just a free agent wide receiver from Rutgers who signed with the Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent before last season.

“I don’t really pay attention to a lot of things that have been said,” Wright said. “I just know once I’m in house, once I’m in the facility, I’ve got a job and I try to do everything I can to do my job as best as I can.”

The Bucs shifted him to tight end last season.

With numerous injuries in the receiving corps, Wright caught 54 passes, five for touchdowns.

He has the potential to give the Patriots a second receiving tight end that they lacked last season after the team released Aaron Hernandez when he was arrested last summer and before he was charged with first-degree murder.

Rob Gronkowski has played all five games following offseason knee surgery and had season highs of six catches for 100 yards against Cincinnati, including one touchdown. For the first time this season, he was not on the injury report Wednesday.

“When they’re out there together we’ve got to be able to do multiple things. I certainly can’t put them on the field and just do one thing with them or else that becomes something that the defense can focus on too much and try to take away,” offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said.

“They both showed up, obviously, and made some plays for us, but they also did some things in the running game and other areas that helped our team.”

At 6-feet-4 and 220 pounds, Wright must block bigger linemen and linebackers. In just his second season as a tight end, it’s a skill he’s working on.

Instead of being able to run a few yards as a wide receiver before encountering a defensive back, he has less time and room before meeting a defender.

“A lot of guys who are playing on the other

side of the ball have been doing what they’ve been doing their whole lives,” Wright said, “so it’s definitely a learning curve for me to learn that technique ... and being at the right position at the right time.”

That curve may not be as great for Wright, who earned Big East All-Academic honors in 2011 when he caught 11 passes at Rutgers.

“Tim’s a real smart guy. He’s got a lot of experience in the passing game as a former receiver and experience from last year as a tight end in Tampa’s system,” coach Bill Belichick said.

But like the Patriots other tight ends, he had catching up to do.

Wright was obtained just 13 days before the season opener. Gronkowski didn’t play in any

preseason games while coming back from surgery. Michael Hoomanawanui was sidelined for most of training camp.

“We haven’t really had those guys on the field as much as we would like,” Belichick said.

But the time they have had to practice and play together has been valuable. Their next chance comes Sunday against the Bills in Buffalo.

“That, progressively, has helped us week by week,” Belichick said.

Wright even is learning about the free-spirited Gronkowski.

“Outside of him being called ‘Gronk,’ I didn’t really know too many things about him,” Wright said, “but he’s a great guy.”

The petition asks the court to make a determination that the Guardian and/or Conservator should be allowed to resign; or should be removed for good cause; or that the Guardianship and/or Conservatorship is no longer necessary and therefore should be terminated.

The above-named person has the right to ask for a lawyer. Anyone may make this request on behalf of the abovenamed person. If the abovenamed person cannot afford a lawyer, one may be appointed at State expense.

Witness, Hon. Anne M. Geoffrion, First Justice of this Court.
