City Council’s lack of scribe not unusual

City Hall to get emergency generator By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Health Department and city officials will have more options to respond to natural emergencies which result in power outages when an emergency generator is installed at City Hall. Health Director Joseph Rouse said at the Board of Health meeting last night that the generator was acquired with Homeland Security funding of $25,000 through the Hampden County Health Coalition. Rouse said that during the recently completed city hall renovation, additional circuits were added to which the 45-KW generator, which is secured to a trailer, can be attached and provide power. The city has considered acquiring a larger emergency backup generator as part of the city hall renovation, but decided that it was costprohibitive at the time. A generator producing 300 KW or more would be needed to more adequately power the building. “It isn’t large enough to power the entire building, but it will run the Health Department so we don’t lose the vaccines in our refrigerators,” Rouse said. During prolonged power outages in the past, the department had to move vaccines and other perishable items to Noble Hospital, which has emergency power sources. Rouse said the emergency generator has sufficient electrical output and switching capabilities to also provide power to the City Council Chambers, Building Department and mayor’s office, as well as the Health Department. Currently, the only place that has emergency backup power where officials could plan responses to emergencies, natural or otherwise, is the Technology Center, which also houses the Emergency Management Department. “This gives us another location where all of us can meet,” Rouse said. The trailer-towed generator, Rouse said, is a regional asset that will be shared with other communities, but Westfield will have first priority in the event of a widespread power outage such as the one following the Halloween blizzard several years ago. “If Southwick needed it for an emergency situation specific to their community we could bring it over to them,” Rouse said. “But if we needed it, we have first dibs on it.”

Hilltowns adjust to OML By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – City councils in western Mass. are no different than other municipalities in the Commonwealth when adjusting their documentation policies to remain in compliance with the state’s Open Meeting Law (OML). For many small towns governed by selectboards with as few as three elected members, documenting meetings can become more complicated. The Westfield City Council is contemplating the hiring of a part-time secretary to transcribe meeting minutes, like Holyoke, Northampton and Springfield have, in addition to broadcasting their meetings live through public access television and streaming them online, as well. For small, rural communities who did not negotiate with Comcast to provide broadcast coverage of their meetings, a written transcription and audio recording are often the only means by which they remain in compliance with the state’s OML. “All of our meetings are audiotaped and you can go online and listen to them at any time,” said Joseph Deedy, a selectman for the town of Southwick, adding that he and the selectboard have experimented with videotaping meetings. “You already have a voice on audio, you might as well put a face to it,” said Deedy. “She (Sondra Pendleton, assistant to Board of Selectmen) writes them (the minutes) down and we have the audio version. We just had a meeting Monday, and if you go on the town website now, it should be up with a link you can listen to.” Stacy Stewart, the Gateway Regional School District’s School Committee secretary, goes to great lengths to transcribe every meeting and said that the committee has discussed using video for further documentation. “It has been brought up. Mrs. (Ruth) Kennedy actually had brought it up about potentially taping meetings and I don’t believe the committee as a whole ever really wanted to do that,” said Stewart. “I don’t think they ever took a vote on it.”

“There was discussion about whether people would actually make the same comments they make,” she said. “We keep everything up to date on the website in terms of minutes and posting meetings, so that would be another thing to figure out – how to keep those videos current as far as archiving them because they would be public record.” Currently, the school committee’s only method of recording their meetings are Stewart’s transcription. “We don’t audio record them,” she said. “Mrs. (Gretchen) Eliason (previous committee chair) did record them for quite a while, but we no longer record them. Our recording is strictly the minutes, which are posted on the district’s website and archived so the public has access to them on a regular basis.” In addition to her transcribing of the minutes, Stewart stated that her duties as secretary include making sure committee members are sworn in, keeping record of packets that have been distributed to members, as well as copies of minutes and policies. “A committee doesn’t have to have a secretary outside of that committee. They could have one of the members of the committee take the notes as a designated secretary and keep a record.” she said. “They could be shorthand, they could be longhand, but obviously they have to legible by everybody or transcribed in a way that, if somebody wanted to see them (the minutes), they could actually see them and see what goes on.” “Things don’t have to be transcribed verbatim, either. You could have ‘there was discussion in favor of and against and this was the vote’,” said Stewart. “They could be a simpler form of minutes, as long as they really track all the votes and give a general understanding of what happened at the meeting.” Stewart added that the minutes don’t have to be in the electronic format that she keeps them in, but they must state the basic parameters of the meeting. “Who was at the meeting, what time the meeting closed, as well as keeping a record of when the meeting was held,” she explained. “Making sure they were posted 48 hours prior to the meeting.”

Wellness grant helps employees get fit By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – Town Clerk MIchelle Hill, a former member of the Marine Corps., believes in staying active. “I go for walks and do Beachbody workouts and I just want to keep moving,” said Hill. When some of her co-workers at Town Hall expressed a desire to be more active, Hill decided to help motivate them by applying for a wellness grant from the state. Last year, the town was awarded $600 to get a program started and Hill just found out Southwick has received another $800 for this fiscal year. “We can also get more money – up to $1,200 total – through incentives,” Hill said. “There is a training incentive next week that will give us another $100.” A three-member committee of town employees is required to administer the

75 cents

grant. Hill and Parks and Recreation Administrative Assistant Cara Cartello are currently seeking a third member to help them plan programs. “We used the grant money last year to get a gym going,” said Hill. Hill purchased gym mats, hand weights and steps, as well as several fitness DVDs. Town employees can sign-in to use the room – located in the basement level of Town Hall – during their lunch break or any time when the building is open. A treadmill and two different exercise bikes were donated for employee use. “I’m looking for an eliptical machine now,” Hill said. Hill plans to make the room even more gym-like this year and has plans for several programs. “Last spring we had a walk group that was well received,” she said.

Employees signed up to participate and committed to exercising 15 minutes or more each day. Hill said some employees joined forces and walked together during breaks while others biked, ran, swam or walked on their own. “Everyone gave me a time sheet of what they did each day and for how long,” Hill said. “I’m planning to do another program like this in spring.” This fall, Hill is planning an event with a guest nutritionist. She said in addition to motivating employees to get more active and make better food choices, the wellness program benefits the town by reducing health costs. “I just think exercising is good and will extend your life,” Hill said. Anyone with equipment to donate or who wants more information about the program should contact Hill.

By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – As the Westfield City Council debates whether or not to hire a part-time scribe to record and publish minutes of meetings for council committees, boards and commissions, it turns out Westfield isn’t the only municipality lacking such a scrivener. “In Holyoke we don’t have a person transcribing and there’s been talk about that,” said Holyoke Ward 3 City Councilor David Bartley. “All of our formal city council hearings and subcommittees are all on tape and broadcast live and recorded for posterity. But no one transcribes them.” Bartley said that, for regular Holyoke City Council meetings, a clerk produces the minutes but doesn’t write a narrative of the meeting and an administrative assistant provides a narrative that supplements the meeting’s formal agenda. “If a councilor is just kind of producing rhetoric, that isn’t transcribed. But if a councilor has something specific or makes a critical point, thats transcribed,” said Bartley. He also added that, due to budgetary constraints, the likelihood of Holyoke’s City Council hiring even a part-time scribe is slim. “There may’ve been talk of that before I came on city council three years ago, but there’s nothing imminent,” said Bartley. Holyoke does have an Administrative Assistant to the City Council, who the city’s Personel Director Robert Judge said makes about $38,000 a year. “Their job description includes things like delivering communications, notifying city council committee members of meetings and assist in those meetings,” said Judge. “They must also prepare responses and follow-ups to communications, provide background data on agenda items for review by council members and forward requests for council orders, resolutions and ordinances to See Scribe, Page 3

Auxiliaries augmented By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Dozens of events sponsored in the city each year by non-profit groups are made possible – or at least more feasible – by the volunteer efforts of city’s auxiliary police force and that force was augmented Monday evening when the city’s Police Commission appointed six additional officers. The auxiliary officers are called on frequently to assist with security, traffic and crowd control for events such as concerts on the Green, the Penguin Plunge and several annual parades. The force is primarily comprised of two types of officers – retired law enforcement officers who are willing to give something back to their community and younger officers who view the auxiliary force as a stepping stone to a career as a police officer. Robert Sorel, the director of the unit, said that the auxiliary officers are trained “to a high level of police work” and may sometimes be the first emergency responder at an incident. All the auxiliary officer are required to complete the six-monthlong reserve and intermittent police training academy and, after appointment, get additional training from full-time city officers. The auxiliaries give more than their time, Sorel said, pointing out that they pay for the $1,400 course themselves and also pay for their uniforms, firearms and all other necessary equipment from their own pockets. Once trained, the auxiliary officers are available to assist with community events providing security and other services which would otherwise cost event organizers hundreds or thousands of dollars. As an example, Sorel said that 16 auxiliary officers worked at the five kilometer road race staged in the city over the Memorial Day weekend. He said that, if the organizers had to pay for their services, “the cost for this event would have been approximately $2,600.” The city’s budget includes no funding for the auxiliary force See Auxiliaries, Page 3

Cops photograph alleged sleeping Florida burglar NOKOMI, Fla. (AP) — Talk about a heavy sleeper. Police say an accused burglar continued snoozing next to a bag of jewelry he was allegedly planning to swipe even after deputies began snapping pictures of him. According to the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page, a cleaning lady discovered 29-year-old Dion Davis on a bed inside the victim’s home Monday. Deputies say they took several photographs of the sleeping Davis, but he didn’t wake up.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Thursday, September 11, the 254th day of 2014. There are 111 days left in the year.

n September 11, 2001, on America’s single-worst day of terrorism, nearly 3,000 people were killed as 19 al-Qaida members hijacked four passenger jetliners, sending two of the planes smashing into New York’s World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon and the fourth into a field in western Pennsylvania.

On this date: In 1714, the forces of King Philip V of Spain overcame Catalan defenders to end the 13-month-long Siege of Barcelona during the War of the Spanish Succession. In 1789, Alexander Hamilton was appointed the first U.S. Secretary of the Treasury. In 1814, an American fleet scored a decisive victory over the British in the Battle of Lake Champlain in the War of 1812. In 1857, the Mountain Meadows Massacre took place in present-day southern Utah as a 120-member Arkansas immigrant party was slaughtered by Mormon militiamen aided by Paiute Indians. In 1936, Boulder Dam (now Hoover Dam) began operation as President Franklin D. Roosevelt pressed a key in Washington to signal the startup of the dam’s first hydroelectric generator. In 1941, groundbreaking took place for the Pentagon. In a speech that drew accusations of anti-Semitism, Charles A. Lindbergh told an America First rally in Des Moines, Iowa, that “the British, the Jewish and the Roosevelt administration” were pushing the United States toward war. In 1954, the Miss America pageant made its network TV debut on ABC; Miss California, Lee Meriwether, was

crowned the winner. In 1962, The Beatles completed their first single for EMI, “Love Me Do” and “P.S. I Love You,” at EMI studios in London. In 1974, Eastern Airlines Flight 212, a DC-9, crashed while attempting to land in Charlotte, North Carolina, killing 72 of the 82 people on board. The family drama “Little House on the Prairie” premiered on NBC-TV. In 1984, country star Barbara Mandrell was seriously injured in an automobile accident near Nashville that claimed the life of the other driver, Mark White. In 1989, the exodus of East German refugees from Hungary to West Germany began. In 1994, actress Jessica Tandy died in Easton, Connecticut, at age 85.

Ten years ago: Parents and grandparents of those lost on September 11 stood at the World Trade Center site and marked the third anniversary of the attacks. Spc. Armin Cruz became the first Military Intelligence soldier convicted in the Abu Ghraib prison scandal as he admitted abusing inmates and received a lighter sentence in return for his testimony against others. Svetlana Kuznetsova overwhelmed Elena Dementieva 6-3, 7-5 in the first all-Russian U.S. Open final. Mike Leigh’s “Vera Drake” won the Golden Lion for best picture at the close of the Venice Film Festival. Lyricist Fred Ebb died in New York City; he was 76.

Five years ago:

On his first 9/11 anniversary as president, Barack Obama urged Americans to come together in service just as they united after the terrorist attacks. Anti-abortion activist

James Pouillon was shot to death near a high school in Owosso, Michigan. (Harlan James Drake was convicted of first-degree murder in the killing of Pouillon and the owner of a gravel pit, Mike Fuoss, and sentenced to life in prison.) Death claimed Hollywood writer Larry Gelbart at age 81 and poet and punk rocker Jim Carroll at age 60.

One year ago: A car bomb tore through a Libyan Foreign Ministry building in the eastern city of Benghazi on the anniversary of a deadly attack on the U.S. consulate there as well as the 2001 terror attacks in the United States. More than 1 million people showed their support for Catalan independence by joining hands to form a 250-mile human chain across the northeastern region of Spain.

Today’s Birthdays: Actress Betsy Drake is 91. Former Sen. Daniel Akaka, D-Hawaii, is 90. Actor Earl Holliman is 86. Comedian Tom Dreesen is 75. Movie director Brian De Palma is 74.

Easthampton man’s murder trial starts Continued from Page 1

the city clerk, law department and other municipal departments.” Springfield City Councilor Melvin Edwards said that a secretary for the city council takes the minutes for their meetings and that those meetings are televised. “Ours are televised and recorded as part of the cable contract,” said Edwards. “They’re public – you can watch them live and then they’re re-broadcast two or three days later.” Edwards said he doesn’t believe that the secretary who transcribes the meetings transcibes them verbatim, but that she takes general notes and jots down particular points of interest. “What I think of when I think of transcription is what I see in a court room, when someone has that particular skillset and utilizes a particular type of machine,” he said. “But our meetings are recorded.” Bill Dwight, president of the Northampton City Council, said that in addition to recording the meetings on video, they have a secretary who works over 20 hours a week assembling and posting meeting agendas and recording meeting minutes. “Mass. Open Meeting Law now allows for video recordings to qualify as a portion of the minutes, although you still have to record the votes,” he said. “So in combination of the video documents and the secretary’s recording of the votes, we achieve completion. “There aren’t a lot of city governments in the region. It is mostly town meetings for the most part,” he said. “I know that this is true for Holyoke and Easthampton and I’m pretty confident that it’s true for Greenfield, and it’s usually somebody in or associated with the city clerk’s office. Essentially they’re serving the council, as opposed to the mayor or city manager.” Northampton Mayor David Narkewicz said that the secretary referred to by Dwight gets paid $22.63 an hour and serves as the clerk to the city council as part of her duties as assistant city clerk. “We do have a part-time person in the city clerk’s office who we added to try to supplement clerk duties,” he said. “It is always a constant challenge for cities and towns, particularly because we’re required under the Open Meeting Law to have descriptive agendas and to keep detailed minutes for all of our meetings.” Narkewicz referenced how Northampton’s city council meetings are broadcast and streamed live through Comcast and are available on websites such as Youtube.com. “People have access to us (on the Internet and cable TV), but a recording isn’t enough. You still have to take minutes,” said Narkewicz. “The broadcast piece is kind of irrelevant to the open meeting law. You still have a written record of the votes, subjects and discussions. The video can’t replace that.”

Auxiliaries

Continued from Page 1 but Sorel was quick to say that the police department shares supplies and assets with the auxiliary force. Most of the money available to the auxiliaries comes from donations from the community, often from the organizations helped by the auxiliary officers. In addition to helping the community at public events, the force also helps the regular force and makes regular patrols, usually on weekends, to augment the full-time patrol officers. The auxiliaries also turn out, Sorel said, for emergency situations such as floods, tornados or other severe weather events. Sorel, together with his command team of Lt. Don Humason Sr. and Sgt. Jon Jedlicka, had been coordinating a 22-person force until Monday when their number was increased by the Police Commission. Six additional officers – Joshua R. Fanion, Joseph Gandulfi, Matthew J. Gardner, Matthew Hartmann, Bradford E. Smith and Levi Z. Ward – were appointed at Monday’s meeting and they will be available for duty as soon as they complete all the necessary training.

Westfield Mayor Daniel M. Knapik said that the city is “close” to a deal with Comcast that would bring a new cable license to the city, and said it’s likely to fall between five to 10 years. “Part of this opportunity is to provide funding for some capital equipment to upgrade our public access activities,” he said. “We’re looking to use some of the Comcast money to develop a studio concept downtown.” As to whether the Comcast deal – which would enable the city to broadcast and stream city council meetings – would alleviate some of the need for a part-time scribe, Knapik feels there is no reason councilors can’t handle the task themselves. “I served eight years on the council and there’s not a lot of heavy lifting to taking notes. If you don’t want to take the notes, don’t be a chairman,” said Knapik. “We have been investigating a portable, remote operated system for a while now so that meetings could become televised and operated without the use of a technician. I think you’ll probably see that come to life sooner rather than later.” Can You Help Sarah?

NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (AP) — Opening statements in the trial of an Easthampton man charged with killing his girlfriend are expected to get underway. Prosecutors and defense lawyers are scheduled to make opening remarks in the first-degree murder trial of Ryan Welch on Thursday. The 38-year-old Welch is charged with fatally stabbing 39-year-old Jessica Ann Pripstein in her Easthampton apartment in February 2012. Pripstein called 911 and said that her boyfriend was trying to kill her. The trial is in Hampshire Superior Court. Welch was also found in the apartment suffering from what police called a self-inflicted stab wound.

Woman charged with stealing enters plea NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (AP) — A Holyoke woman charged with stealing more than $24,000 worth of jewelry from her mother has pleaded to sufficient facts for a guilty finding, but avoided jail time. Contessa Jade Bilodeau entered her plea this week to a single charge of larceny, and the case was continued without a finding until September 2016. During that time the 25-year-old Bilodeau must stay drug and alcohol free. Police say Bilodeau stole the jewelry from her mother’s Southampton home. When police ran her name through a law enforcement pawn shop database, it turned up 21 times over the course of several months.

COMMENT

LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!

Appropriate PulseLine voice-mails will now be replayed on The Westfield News Radio Show every Thursday morning from 6-8am at 89.5FM. Are you kidding me??? The Council doesn’t have anyone taking the minutes of their meetings?? With everything going on in this City; that is so irresponsible, not to mention it sounds like it might be illegal. How much money could it possibly cost to hire someone for that position?? Also. SingleStream recycling?? That is not recycling; that is the laziest and easiest way out of the situation. We pay to have GARBAGE put in a container and dumped at the Transfer Station, yet we earn money from recycling bottles/cans and paper. Can someone explain this is simple terms so that everyone will understand it. So far everyone I have mentioned this to, does not understand that the City will not be recycling. The city will be recycling and soon doing it better than we have been. Westfield is currently far behind many communities nationwide when it comes to single stream recycling but not for long. Recycling technology has advanced so that people are now able to put all types of recycling materials in one bin and have the contents separated at the recycling plants. This becomes a much more efficient way for homeowners and the city. As to record-keeping as it pertains to OML in the digital age, Peter Francis has that on today’s front page.

Democrats push for immigration delay By Seung Min Kim and Burgess Everett Politico.com Some Senate Democrats are pressing the White House to hold off indefinitely on unilaterally making immigration changes — not just until after the election. The resistance is coming from Democrats facing tough reelection bids this fall and other moderate voices in the party who say President Barack Obama shouldn’t use executive authority to ease deportations at any time. The pressure is a sign that Obama’s decision over the weekend to punt on making changes until after the election may have done little to ease the political furor over the issue. Sen. Kay Hagan (D-N.C.), who publicly urged Obama against executive action in July, said this week that she believes such a move is still wrong. When asked whether delaying executive action was not sufficient, Hagan responded: “I don’t think it should be by executive action.” “Before we left for recess, I made the comment weeks and weeks ago that this is a congressional decision,” said Hagan, who is in a tight reelection battle. “I’ve supported the immigration reform bill and … I think the House needs to take that legislation up.” Maine Sen. Angus King, an independent who caucuses with Democrats, said he stands by his statements last week — made before the delay from the White House was announced — that any major executive action on immigration would be a “mistake,” no matter the timing. “Significant executive action would undermine support for comprehensive reform and actually perhaps could set the cause back,” King said. “It’s not about the midterms. It’s about whether this is a good policy decision, and I don’t think it is.” The level of resistance from rank-and-file Democrats could be influential in what the White House ultimately does on immigration, since the administration will be reluctant to make major moves on immigration without strong support from congressional Democrats. For now, several others are staying silent on the issue. During interviews and through representatives, a handful of Senate Democrats in competitive reelection bids who had previously expressed concern about Obama acting unilaterally refused to entertain the possibility of further executive action. Democratic senators such as Mark Begich of Alaska, Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire and Al Franken of Minnesota all instead focused on the Republican-led House, where the Senate’s sweeping immigration reform bill has long been dead. “We’ve already passed a comprehensive piece of legislation on immigration,” Begich said. “You would think the House would take it up.” Of Obama, Begich added: “He needs to be engaged with Congress on this.” Still, the delay until after the midterm elections has ensured immigration will stay a campaign issue throughout the fall. The National Republican Senatorial Committee continued its immigration-centered barrage earlier this week, releasing an ad hitting Democrat Michelle Nunn in Georgia for allegedly backing “amnesty.” Republicans see even more cynical motivations for Democrats: that they are sweeping the issue away for the midterms — where the most competitive races will play out in traditionally conservative territory — and pulling it back out once the battle for the White House in 2016 begins in earnest. “There are at least some Democrat leaders who don’t seem to want to resolve this issue. They’d rather have the issue politically going into, particularly, 2016,” said Sen. Jerry Moran of Kansas, the head of the Senate GOP’s campaign arm. “Some of their motivation is: Let’s keep this issue around.” Some of the trepidation from Democrats over immigration this year also illustrates how much the politics of the issue have been upended in the past several months, stemming primarily from the flood of unaccompanied minors arriving at the southern border that gripped the nation this summer. A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released this week found that 35 percent of the public said the GOP would do a better job handling immigration, compared with 27 percent who favored Democrats. In December, 31 percent had more faith in Democrats and 26 percent said so about Republicans. The immigration delay has put top congressional Democrats in a difficult position as immigrant and Latino advocates quickly turned their furor toward the party in the wake of the White House’s decision to hold off.

Obama: U.S. chasing ISIL ‘wherever they exist’ By Jennifer Epstein Politico.com President Barack Obama on Wednesday outlined a U.S.-led coalition’s plans to “degrade and ultimately destroy” the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant through airstrikes and support for Syria’s opposition, stressing to a weary nation that he is not leading the nation into another war. “I want the American people to understand how this effort will be different from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan,” Obama said from the State Floor of the White House in a rare primetime speech. “It will not involve American combat troops fighting on foreign soil.” Rather, it is a “counter-terrorism campaign” that “will be waged through a steady, relentless effort to take out ISIL wherever they exist using our air power and our support for partner forces on the ground,” he said. It’s a “strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us, while supporting partners on the front lines,” the same targeted strategy that the United States has been using in Yemen and Somalia. The battle against ISIL will not be limited by political borders, Obama said. “I will not hesitate to take action against ISIL in Syria, as well as Iraq. This is a core principle of my presidency: if you threaten America, you will find no safe haven.” Coming as the coalition takes shape and prepares to go on the offensive, the president’s primetime speech is an opportunity for him to explain his administration’s strategy to the American people and to ask for “buy in” from Congress, whether in the form of funding for the effort or with a bill authorizing its actions, which senior administration officials say they do not believe is necessary but would not object to seeing lawmakers pass. The United States plans to lead a “broad coalition to roll back this terrorist threat” with a clear objective, to “degrade and ultimately destroy ISIL through a comprehensive and sustained counter-terrorism strategy.” The ramping up of U.S. military involvement in the Middle East is a major shift for Obama, who advocated for ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan since before his campaign for president. It comes a year after the president flirted with engagement in Syria against the regime of Bashar al-Assad for using chemical weapons, only to run into congressional opposition. A year later, Obama’s attention is again turned towards Syria, but at defeating ISIL, a group that branched off from al Qaeda in Iraq, and that, according to administration officials, poses a great threat to Iraq, Syria and Americans in the region. Instead of asking Congress for the authority to act – as he did a year ago – Obama is more broadly looking for support from lawmakers. “My administration has … secured bipartisan support for this approach here at home,” he said. “I have the authority to address the threat from ISIL. But I believe we are strongest as a nation when the president and Congress work together. So I welcome congressional support for this effort in order to show the world that Americans are united in confronting this danger.”

Support from Congress could be a bill authorizing the president to take military action against ISIL, a senior administration official said on a conference call with reporters to preview the speech, or could mean that lawmakers vote to provide funding for the action. House Republicans delayed a vote this week on a continuing resolution to fund the government after Sept. 30 with the aim of potentially using the bill as a means for funding U.S. efforts to train and arm the moderate Syrian opposition. On Wednesday, Obama asked Congress for the “authorities and resources to train and equip these fighters. In the fight against ISIL, we cannot rely on an Assad regime that terrorizes its people; a regime that will never regain the legitimacy it has lost. Instead, we must strengthen the opposition as the best counterweight to extremists like ISIL, while pursuing the political solution necessary to solve Syria’s crisis once and for all.” He also announced that 475 more U.S. military personnel will be sent to Iraq, not to engage in combat but to help Iraqi and Kurdish forces build up their capabilities. They join several hundred others who have been sent there since June. Obama aimed to prepare the American people for what administration officials have describe as a “sustained” effort that will take an indeterminate amount of time. “It will take time to eradicate a cancer like ISIL,” the president said. “And any time we take military action, there are risks involved – especially to the servicemen and women who carry out these missions.” The president also sought to put the fight against ISIL in context, noting that Thursday marks the 13th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, and that next week marks six years since the 2008 financial crisis hit its lowest depths. “Despite these shocks [and] through the pain we have felt and the grueling work required to bounce back, America is better positioned today to seize the future than any other nation on Earth,” he said. He also spoke of the leadership role that the United States has played in helping Ukraine defend itself from Russia’s incursion into Crimea, fighting the latest outbreak of Ebola in Africa, and protecting the Yazidis facing threats from ISIL in Iraq. “When we helped prevent the massacre of civilians trapped on a distant mountain,” Obama said of the Yazidis, “here’s what one of them said, ‘We owe our American friends our lives. Our children will always remember that there was someone who felt our struggle and made a long journey to protect innocent people.’” “That is the difference we make in our world,” the president said. “Our own safety – our own security – depends upon our willingness to do what it takes to defend this nation, and uphold the values that we stand for – timeless ideals that will endure long after those who offer only hate and destruction have been vanquished from the Earth.”

Cruz: Amendment threatens ‘SNL’ By Lucy McCalmont Politico.com Sen. Ted Cruz says the comedy of NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” is at risk and creator Lorne Michaels could be thrown in jail if a proposed constitutional amendment on campaign finance is passed. “Congress would have the power to make it a criminal offense; Lorne Michaels could be put in jail under this amendment for making fun of any politician. That is extraordinary. It is breathtaking, and it is dangerous,” the Texas Republican argued on the Senate floor on Tuesday, with a board of stills from the late-night sketch show displayed behind him. Cruz said the proposal, which will face a vote Wednesday, gives Congress the authority to prohibit corporations from engaging in political speech. “Well, NBC, which airs ‘Saturday Night Live,’ is a corporation,” said Cruz, who gave his own impression of Dana Carvey as President George H.W. Bush. “I grew up watching ‘Saturday Night Live’; I love ‘Saturday Night Live.’ ‘Saturday Night Live,’ over the years, has had some of the most tremendous political satire,” the senator said. “Who can forget, in 2008, ‘Saturday Night Live’s’ wickedly funny characterization of the Republican vice presidential nominee, Sarah Palin?” “It was wickedly funny and also [had] a profoundly powerful effect on people’s assessment of Gov. Palin, who’s a friend of mine, ” he added. Cruz said he asked Minnesota Sen. Al Franken, a former “SNL” actor and writer, whether he believed Congress should prohibit the show from making fun of politicians. “Now, the good senator promptly assured me he had no intention of doing any such thing,” Cruz said. However, Cruz added that the debate was not about intentions but the impact of the amendment.

ARTSLEISURE The Arts Beat By Mark Auerbach

Pink Martini The University of Massachusetts Fine Arts Center opens its new season with the one-of-a-kind, multilingual, retro hip little orchestra “Pink Martini” on Saturday, September 20. Hailing from Portland, Oregon, baroque-pop, classical, and jazz group Pink Martini has played to adoring audiences around the world. This 12-member “little orchestra” draws inspiration from pounding Cuban beats and the heart-wrenching

tunes of smoky Paris nightclubs. It is an unpredictable ensemble that joins a variety of musical styles and performs “music of the world without being world music,” consistently mixing melodies and rhythms from around the world to create something fresh and new. Thomas Lauderdale, conductor of Pink Martini, describes the ensemble, which he founded in 1994. “We draw inspiration from the romantic Hollywood musicals of the 1940s or ‘50s with a more global perspective. We write a lot of songs but we also

champion songs like Ernesto Lecuona’s ‘Andalucia’ or ‘Amado Mio’ from the Rita Hayworth film ‘Gilda,’ or ‘Kikuchiyo to mohshimasu (My name is Kikuchiyo)’ made famous in the 1960s by the great Japanese group Hiroshi Wada & His Mahina Stars. In that sense we’re a bit like musical archeologists, digging through recordings and scores of years past and rediscovering beautiful songs.” China Forbes (Pink Martini’s “Diva Next Door” lead vocalist) will sing in Amherst. Sometimes, NPR correspondent Ari Shapiro sings a set or two with the group, but he’s on assignment in London. Pink Martini made its European debut at the Cannes Film Festival in 1997 and its orchestral debut with the Oregon Symphony in 1998. Since then, they’ve played with more than 50 orchestras across the globe, including multiple engagements with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Boston Pops, and the National Symphony at the Kennedy

Pink Martini Center among others. Pink Martini’s debut album “Sympathique” was released in 1997 and quickly became an international phenomenon, garnering the group nominations for “Song of the Year” and “Best New Artist” in France’s Victoires de la Musique Awards in 2000. Last September, they released “Get Happy”, featuring the last recording of Phyllis Diller on “Smile.” Pink Martini’s albums have gone gold in France, Canada, Greece and Turkey, and have sold well over 2.5 million copies worldwide. For tickets: 413-545-2511, 800-999-UMASS or www. fineartscenter.com For those who can’t get to Amherst, Pink Martini also performs on September 26 at

How did “Fiddler” get to Broadway? “Tradition!: The Highly Improbable, Ultimately Triumphant Broadway-to-Hollywood Story of Fiddler on the Roof, the World’s Most Beloved Musical” by Barbara Isenberg (St. Martin’s Press.) just hit bookstores.

You may not recognize the name Joe DiPietro, but his plays and musicals are getting a lot of mileage. His musical “Memphis” took home the Tony Award for “Best Musical”. His subsequent Broadway musical “Nice Work If You Can Get It” (to music and lyrcis of The Gershwins) was a hit for Matthew Broderick. (The national tour comes to The Bushnell this winter). DiPietro has had a busy year. He wrote the revised libretto for Goodspeed’s “Damn Yankees” (turning the Washington Senators into the Boston Red Sox) which hit a home-run last spring. Then, he wrote “Living on Love” for Renee Fleming. The opera diva made her theatre debut at Williamstown last summer. West Springfield’s Majestic Theater opens its new season with DiPietro’s “The Last Romance” (through October 19). The romantic comedy offers the story of elderly widower who discovers romantic possibilities by taking a slight detour on his daily walk. In encountering an elegant but distant woman, he’s emboldened to turn on some renewed boyish charm to pursue her, but complications make it a bit of a challenge. “The Last Romance” is a heartwarming comedy about the transformative power of love and seizing life with a passion, regardless of age.

Gators dominate By Chris Putz Staff Writer HUNTINGTON – If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try, try, try … and try again. That is the mindset that the Gateway Regional High School girls’ soccer team adopted Wednesday as the Gators pressed Mohawk, lofting shot after shot after shot at the opposition’s goal until one finally found the back of the net after 37 minutes, 59 seconds. Gateway Regional freshman forward Jessica VanHeynigan scored one goal in each half to lift the Gators to a 2-0 win over visiting Mohawk. Gateway backed Mohawk deep into its own territory throughout much of the game.

It paid off when VanHeynigan smashed a ball at the Mohawk defense, deflecting off a player and into the net for a 1-0 lead just before the buzzer, signaling halftime. VanHeynigan tallied the second goal in the 53rd minute, squeezing a shot in between a diving goalie and the goalpost. Senior Hannah Green set the shot up with a fantastic through ball through an open lane. Gateway threatened to do more damage several times in the final 20 minutes. Jessie Walton delivered a brilliant direct kick from about 20 yards out that was nearly pushed into goal by the Gateway offense. Alyssa Moreau set up the forwards from the end line with a pin-

point cross pass out in front of the Mohawk goal before it was turned away. Moreau also had a laser shot high on goal tipped away at the last second. With the victory, Gateway improved to 2-1. The Gators next host South Hadley Monday at 4 p.m.

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

Heartbroken Granny Dear Annie: My granddaughter “Rachel” is 14. Her parents raised her to attend church regularly. In the past year, however, they quit going to church and got divorced. My daughter was seeing a married man who left his wife and children and moved in with my daughter. What a mess. Rachel asked me, “How can Mom be such a hypocrite? She taught me that sex is for a married couple, and without marriage, it’s wrong. She tells me to not have sex with anyone till I am married. Why should I wait?” It breaks my heart to see my daughter setting such a bad example for her children. What can I say? I take Rachel and her sister with me to church because they want to go. All I can do at this point is pray for the two broken marriages and broken families. -- Heartbroken Granny Dear Granny: Rachel seems to have a decent grasp of the situation. Her mother is a hypocrite. The lesson she needs to learn is forgiveness. People can make poor choices and create a great deal of damage and heartache through selfishness. They are human, and they make mistakes. Rachel doesn’t need to condone her mother’s behavior to understand the power of forgiveness. Please help her get there. Dear Annie: I think public service announcements warning smokers of the risk of larynx cancer are good. If they make people stop smoking, they can save lives. But it would be nice if they mentioned at the end that smoking is not the only cause of larynx cancer. I have never used tobacco in any form, but I ended up with larynx cancer anyway and breathe through a hole in my neck. When out in public, I have been told by strangers, “It’s selfdestructive idiots like you who make our health insurance so expensive” and “I see you got what you deserved,” etc., etc. At first I tried to explain, but I was called a liar. So now I just ignore them and keep walking. Any other suggestions? -- Tom from Florida Dear Tom: You are handling these obnoxiously rude people well by walking away. Unless you want to pass out flyers explaining the various causes of larynx cancer, there’s not much more you can do. Their self-righteous attitude does not allow for compassion. Dear Annie: I would like to respond to the letter from “Little Brother,” the 13-year-old fatherless boy who thought he was in love with his older brother. My dad died when I was 5, and my 17-year-old brother immediately stepped into the role of a surrogate father. He was loving, kind and affectionate and helped me navigate through my childhood and teenage years. When I was 12, I thought I had fallen in love with him. I even had dreams of being intimate. These thoughts scared and confused me. I told my brother how I felt, and just like everything in my life, he helped me sort through my feelings and explained that they were a combination of the love we felt for each other and the effects of puberty. I remember him telling me that my thoughts would change as I matured. He was right. Your advice was spot on, but I would have told “Little Brother” to talk directly to his brother. He sounds so much like mine. I am now 32 and married with two sons. My brother is still my hero and the first person I turn to for help and advice. He has never let me down. He was the best “Dad” anyone could have asked for. -- Tim Dear Tim: Your brother was uncommonly mature. You are fortunate that he continues to advise you with kindness and

HINTS FROM HELOISE FLEX FUEL Dear Heloise: I see cars with an emblem on the back saying “flex fuel.” What is that? -- Dina W. in Kansas The emblem means that the car can run on a mixture of fuels. The most common E85 fuel is 51 percent-83 percent ethanol gas mixed with regular gas. Your car must be designated as a flexible-fuel vehicle (FFV) to use the E85 fuel. -- Heloise MOCHA COFFEE Dear Heloise: I love your column in the Palm Beach (Fla.) Post. I have misplaced your delicious recipe for Heloise Mocha Coffee. All I remember is that an ingredient is dry milk. -- Sally D. in Florida You are on the right track for this yummy and easy-to-make drink! Gather together the following ingredients: 1/2 cup instant-coffee granules (regular or decaf) 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or equivalent measure of artificial sweetener) 1 cup powdered milk or powdered creamer (I use nonfat creamer) 2 tablespoons cocoa powder Mix all ingredients together and put the heavenly blend into a sealed container for storage. For one cup, place 2 rounded teaspoons (less if you used sweetener) into a 6- to 8-ounce cup. Add boiling water and stir. For more tasty coffee recipes, send for Heloise’s Flavored Coffees and Teas pamphlet by enclosing $3 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope and sending to: Heloise/Coffee, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Some nonfat creamers have sugar, so check and adjust the amount of sweetener accordingly. -- Heloise

HOROSCOPE

By Jaqueline Bigar

DOG EAT DOUG

Brian Anderson

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Sept. 11, 2014: This year you have a lot of excitement packed into your life. This vitality comes through others who are close to you. You will learn to relax and go with the flow more. You will have a great deal of energy and drive in the next 12 months. Make sure you have a hobby or a means of relaxing, like yoga. If you are single, check out potential suitors with care, as they might project a very different persona from their true identity. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy each other the most when it is just the two of you. Make sure you take frequent trips together. TAURUS understands you. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You might feel restrained by a lack of connection with someone. Make an effort to have a one-on-one conversation with this person, and get to know him or her better. You might discover that he or she has quite a dynamic thought process. Tonight: Pick up the tab. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You could feel off, and as a result, you might want to head in a new direction. Play it low-key, and you will feel your way through a problem. An associate or partner could be very difficult to deal with. Try to transform this person’s anger into useful energy. Tonight: Do your thing. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Zero in on your priorities. Don’t forget to touch base with a dear friend who really cares about you. You are likely to discover how hard it is to mix friends at times. Try not to expose yourself to that type of experience too often. Tonight: Happily head home. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Take charge of a situation, and try to implement a new way of thinking. You might be tired of hearing the same old story, and you’ll want to approach it differently. The reaction you get could be unexpected, which will please you. Tonight: Celebrate the moment. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Your ability to see many sides of an issue will help you develop ways of keeping the peace between opposing parties. You could be tired and drained from a demanding personal or domestic situation. Listen to a friend’s suggestions. Tonight: Could go till the wee hours. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH A partner might demand more attention than you had anticipated. You won’t want to irritate this person, so consider going with the flow. Communication still could be difficult or challenging. Weigh your options. Tonight: Detach while listening to some good music. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Others seem to dominate the scene. Make this OK, as you could be preoccupied with a financial issue. You might not like what comes down the path, but honor the change of pace. Establish some private time for studying your options. Tonight: Togetherness is the theme. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Cross off as much as you can from your to-do list. You easily could be overwhelmed. The only way to get through this list is to start immediately. Schedule a get-together for later in the day, when you are likely to feel more relaxed. Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to detach from someone else’s opinions, especially if they are negative. You’ll need to establish a more creative and dynamic tie between you and this person. Remain open to his or her various viewpoints. Tonight: Get some much-needed R and R. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Stay centered, and understand what your limits are. Family and your domestic life will be the focus today. You might wonder what would be best, under the present circumstances. Your innate ingenuity will emerge. Tonight: Think before you act; your capacity for mischief is high. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Be more direct, and say what is on your mind. Consider your options carefully. You could be a lot more tired than you realize, and you might need to ask someone else to pitch in. You could be surprised by this person’s response. Tonight: Home is your castle.

Cryptoquip

Crosswords

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You might be juggling your finances more than you would like. Detach and see if there is a better way to handle your money. Get different opinions before making a decision. Allow yourself to tackle this issue and resolve it. Tonight: Go with something unusual.
