Barry offers renovation update By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – Southwick-Tolland-Granville Regional Schools Superintendent Dr. John Barry updated the school committee this week on renovation progress. The Southwick campus is undergoing a three-school renovation, which includes upgrades at Woodland Elementary School, numerous improvements at Powder Mill Middle School, which will become an intermediate school, and the high school, which will become a 7-12 school. “We delayed the opening of school because of change orders to construction,” Barry said. “We are working with project management to pay more attention to details.” Barry said they do not want any more delays, especially because they are nearing the end of several phases at Powder Mill and the high school. “Most of the work is done at Woodland,” he said, noting there are just a few finishing touches and punch list items to complete. “The only other thing is the portables and whether to use them for storage or take them out.” Barry said if they choose to remove the portable classrooms, which will no longer be needed once all projects are complete, the project manager wants to remove them before it snows. “Otherwise they will be there until next summer,” he said. Renovations at Powder Mill are currently focused on the gymnasium and its roof. At the high school, the new construction of the grade 7-8 wing is winding down. “We’re getting ready for the January move-in,” Barry said. “The rooms are really See Update, Page 3

Girl Scouts on lookout for volunteers By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – For decades, the Girl Scouts of America have been a fixture in western Mass. and are looking to continue making an impact on the lives of young women in the western Mass. region. While the organization teaches young women the value of “being prepared” and “doing a good turn daily”, it takes reliable and responsible volunteers to help instill these values in troops all over the region. “I would love the experience of being a Girl Scout Leader,” said Dana Carnegie, community relations manager for Girl Scouts of Central and Western Massachusetts. “When I watch girls and leaders in action, I’m filled with admiration and, to tell you the truth, a little bit of envy.” Carnegie said that she was a Girl Scout up until sixth grade, starting with the Brownies and working her way up to the Juniors before she stopped participating. “It wasn’t cool to be a Girl Scout anymore and out I went,” she said. “But what I’ve learned in coming back to Girl Scouts is, the longer you stick with it, the cooler the opportunities become.” “I’ve watched girls contribute to their communities in such significant ways, earn their own money by selling cookies to go on these really phenomenal trips,” Carnegie said. “And just the camraderie with each other and in a girl’s life, the importance of the all-girl environment really matters.” Pat O’Connor, a secretary in the Agawam School District, has been a volunteer for 10 years with two Westfield troops, 40230 and 40222, and started when her older daughter wanted to participate. “I said I would help with the troop, but we had no volunteers. We had three parent meetings before we had a good amount of people,” she said. “There’s probably about 20 troops in
Westfield.” O’Connor listed off several of the trips her troops have made and places they will go soon. “Girl Scouts have pretty much traveled the world, but we do a lot of smaller, day trip-type things because the girls are involved in so many other things,” she said. “We don’t do as many weekend things as other troops, but that’s the good things about Girl Scouts – the individual groups can do different things to fit the girls they’re working with.” Having participated in the Girl Scouts as a young girl, O’Connor said she stopped doing it in high school and is enthused that many of her charges are serving well into their high school years. “In 40230, all but one of the girls is in high school and it is exciting that they’re sticking with it,” she said. “We adjust the meeting times to all their sports teams and church events and they’ve really formed a bond and enjoy being together.” O’Connor stressed the skills learned through scouting that have already benefited her girls. “They start working on business skills and leadership skills even when they’re young in the first grade,” said O’Connor, adding that 80 percent of female business owners in the U.S. were Girl Scouts. “It’s a safe environment and they feel really comfortable. It enables girls to gain that self-esteem so that they feel comfortable at the next step.” When asked about what a western Massachusetts without the Girl Scouts would look like, O’Connor shudders at the thought. “That would be an awful thing,” she said. “So many Girl Scouts, current and former, have done such amazing things, it’s kind of frightening to think about if they didn’t have this program.” “Their Gold Award projects are just amazing
By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Interim Public Works Director Dave Billips presented a plan Tuesday to the Board of Public Works that will provide the city with information about the cost of purchasing new solid waste and recycling trucks. Billips said yesterday that the Purchasing Department is releasing DAVID BILLIPS a bid this week to rent at Interim Public Works least two trucks and then Director will use basically the same bid language next week to advertise the purchase of trucks. “The bid to rent trucks is going out today or tomorrow, and then next week we’ll put out almost the same bid to purchase trucks to see what it will cost,” Billips said. “When we get those bids back, we’ll know how much money we need, then we’ll go to the mayor and City Council with a funding request.” The Department of Public Works, which collects See Truck Bids, Page 3
Man loses job for stealing cans By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A city man has lost his job after he was found to be stealing empty bottles and cans from his employer. Officer John Barnachez responded Tuesday morning to a report that a person was in the act of stealing redeemable bottles and cans from the redemption center where he was employed at an East Main Street liquor store. When Barnachez arrive, the caller told him that she had seen an employee place two large bags of redeemable containers into his personal vehicle.

Rail trail issues before City Council By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Legislative & Ordinance Committee will give positive recommendation tonight to the City Council to approve a “confirmatory order of taking of real estate for the purpose of continuing the Columbia Greenway by right of eminent domain.” The committee discussed the issue last night with City Engineer Mark Cressotti who said that while the city holds two deeds for the land on which the rail trail, a former section of the Northampton-New Haven rail line, is located, there may be exposure to litigation contesting that ownership. “The state Department of Transportation (DOT), which is funding construction of
the Columbia Greenway, is concerned that others may contest that they have some interest in this property,” Cressotti said. “The DOT is recommending that the city (approve) a confirmatory taking just to be safe.” Cressotti said the eminent domain taking process protects the city’s interest. “There will then be no question of who holds title,” Cressotti said. “So anybody who might have a claim, does not have rights to the property, just a claim for financial rights.” Cressotti said the DOT and city investigated the deeds now held by the city when the initial funding was provided to the city, but that the survey referenced in the original deeds are a century old and in some cases not clear. The confirmatory
taking by eminent domain will clarify any ambiguity in the original deed, taking the former railroad land from the Southwick Line to the CSX railroad line in the Depot Square area. The L&O members also discussed a broad issue defining and regulating use of the Columbia Greenway with Bob Pac, a representative of the Friends of the Columbia Greenway, Cressotti and Ward 2 City Councilor Ralph Figy, in whose ward much of the trail is located. Cressotti said rail trails can be defined as both transportation corridors and linear parks and that either definition has benefits. Defining the trail as a transportation corridor means the city can use Chapter See City Council, Page 3
‘Birdies for the Veterans’ to tee off tomorrow By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – An organization seeking to help veterans reacclimate to life back home is hosting what it hopes to be the first of many benefit golf tournaments tomorrow. Project New Hope, Inc., an non-profit organization which hosts week-long retreats throughout the year for vets and their families, is teaming up with Shaker Farms Country Club in Westfield for the first annual “Birdies for the Veterans” tournament. According to Project New Hope, the retreats are free for participants, which include families and children, both female and male veterans and Gold Star & Survivor Families who have lost loved ones during military service. Issues and conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), traumatic brain injury (TBI) and military sexual trauma (MST) are addressed during these retreats, as
well as drug and alcohol addiction, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) issues and suicide prevention. According to Susan Teitel, an Army veteran and golf professional who is helping organize the event, the non-profit’s mission will benefit servicemembers and their families immensely. “I ran across one of my student’s parents who were in the reserves and went on one of the retreats they offer,” said Teitel. “I asked if it was like the Wounded Warrior Project, but what Project New Hope does is try to reac-
climate soliders back to the norm, whatever their norm may be.” Teitel said what clinched her involvement in organizing the tournament was the organization’s total dedication to vets. “The CEO and office staff are running this program as volunteers, with all the proceeds going to the soliders and veterans, so why wouldn’t I want to give back to that?” Teitel said. “I don’t think we give back enough.” “We started Project New Hope in January 2011 out of my home,” said Bill Moore, the CEO of Project New Hope and an Air Force veteran. “The VA can’t do it alone and I wanted to start offering free weekend retreats. Today the suicide rate for servicemen and women… we lose 22 people a day. Their marriages are falling apart, there is drugs and alcohol… We can do something about this.” Moore stated that his volunteer Board of See Birdies for the Veterans, Page 3

Police refuse man’s request By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A city man who came to the police station early Wednesday morning with a simple request was denied. City police report that a resident came to the station at 2:37 a.m. yesterday and asked if he could “stay in the cell block.” Sgt. Michael Kane reports the man was advised of alternative lodging options but asked how he could “stay in the cell block.” When the man was told that the cells are reserved for persons arrested he threatened to commit a crime so he could be arrested, Kane reports, but was told again that he could not stay in a cell. When he claimed to be suicidal Kane offered to call for an ambulance but the man left the station after saying “I ain’t paying for an ambulance.”

Man apologizes for drug-filled football toss JACKSON, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan man is apologizing for trying to throw a football loaded with drugs and cellphones into a state prison yard. Christen D. Moore on Wednesday called the June attempt “a thoughtless and immature decision.” The Jackson Citizen Patriot reports (http://bit. ly/1qYsTLj ) the 22-year-old’s comments came during his sentencing hearing, where he got 17 to 60 months on two counts of furnishing contraband to a prisoner. Jackson County Circuit Judge Susan Beebe says Moore, who was on probation at the time for home invasion, knows “all about the type of havoc this type of contraband can have on the prison system.” Investigators say the throw at G. Robert Cotton Correctional Facility fell short, with the football landing between two fences. Police say the ball contained marijuana, suspected heroin and three cellphones.

GOP’s Baker unveils economic development plan By STEVE LeBLANC Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Republican candidate for governor Charlie Baker unveiled an economic development plan yesterday that he said will create jobs, strengthen local communities and build better schools. The plan contains more than two dozen proposals including using tax credits to reward business that hire welfare recipients and veterans and to help small employers offset the cost of a rising minimum wage, which is set to go from $8 per hour to $11 per hour by 2017. Baker said his plan would also reduce fees for starting a business; increase affordable housing; and give minority business owners better access to the bidding process for public projects. He said if elected he’d also sign contracts with mayors to establish clear expectations for what his administration
Girl Scouts and they can impact people worldwide,” said O’Connor. “Sometimes things they do in Scouting inspires them to pursue a career. So many women… Hillary Clinton was a Girl Scout.” Despite all of these positive aspects to the organization, Carnegie sounded worried when she described the current state of the Scouts. “Membership is dropping. We see this in Massachusetts, as well as to a national level. There are not enough adult leaders,” she said. “We have
girls on waiting lists, but no leaders to lead them.” For those interested in working as volunteer leaders, Carnegie said there is an extensive application process that includes background and reference checks, but that that this shouldn’t dissuade volunteers from applying. “We make it as easy as possible. So much can be done online,” said Carnegie, adding that there are leadership opportunities available to volunteers. “There are trainings and programs like Autumn
Continued from Page 1 The complainant said that she had been paying particular attention to the employee because the owner of another liquor store had told her that her employee had been bringing large numbers of bottles and cans to his store for redemption. The woman also told Barnachez that the employee did not know that police had been contacted. Barnachez reports that he went to the redemption room at the store and found the suspect working there alone. He reports that when he spoke with the suspect the man readily admitted that he had placed the bags of containers in his car and returned them when Barnachez told him to. The man told Barnachez that, during the course of his employment at the store, he had frequently taken containers from the store to redeem elsewhere and estimated that he had redeemed bottles and cans for a total of about $600. The store representative declined to pursue criminal charges and the suspect agreed to make restitution at the rate of $50 per week. The manager said that the man’s final paycheck, which she said would be about $50, would be withheld as the first installment on the man’s debt. The former employee was served a ‘No trespassing’ order but he was advised that the order will not apply when he comes to the store to make his weekly restitution payments.
Truck Bids solid waste trash and recyclable materials, has a fleet of trucks which includes four 2003 vehicles. “We need to replace those 2003 green side loaders that are being used for recycling,” Billips said. “We looked at rehabilitating them, but those trucks are too far into disrepair. It’s not worth the money trying to make them serviceable. They are a safety hazard and are becoming a money pit.” Billips said the need to acquire new trucks is independent of implementing the proposed single-stream recycling program, but that the recycling program is dependent on acquiring new trucks to lift the 96-gallon containers now being used for trash collection but which will become the single-stream recycling containers. The City Council recently approved a Continued from Page 1

The committee has not yet discussed what to call the school once complete. “We’re going to have to make that decision before the holidays,” Barry said. Barry also offered an update on the new track, which was funded mainly by a donation from Steven and Elizabeth Nielsen. Steven is a graduate of the high school who offered $512,000 toward a new track, which will be named for longtime coach Dick Atkinson. “The track received its coat of rubber and painting will be coming on soon,” Barry said. Barry told the committee that Nielsen and Atkinson will be invited to a dedication of the new track once complete, which should be this fall.

will deliver. Baker had already discussed some elements of the plan — including his proposal to require health care providers to post prices for medical procedures and to seek a waiver from President Barack Obama’s 2010 health care law. Baker said his economic plan would cost the state up to $300 million year. He called the potential loss of tax revenue “a small price to pay” and said he wasn’t worried about covering the lost revenue. “We’ve got a $38 billion budget. Tax and other revenues grow by about $1 billion a year. I think we can figure it out,” he said, adding that it’s difficult to estimate how many jobs his plan would create. The former CEO of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care said he’s used to studying details to solve a problem and has a “passion for getting into the weeds.”

Escape, that are filled with adult learning opportunities.” Asked what her pitch is to people contemplating becoming volunteers, Carnegie is very upfront. “Girls need you and communities need Girl Scouts,” she said. “It’s such a nice experience for a girl and for the leader who is providing that experience for a girl.” “The privilege the leader has is watching these girls go from as young as kindergarteners all the way up through seniors in high school. Girl
Scouting sticks with the girl all through their life if they want it to,” said Carnegie. “They (volunteer leaders) get the privilege of watching them grow up and instilling girls with confidence – that they can be whatever they want and do whatever they want.” Anyone interested in volunteering with the Girl Scouts can contact the Girl Scouts of Central and Western Massachusetts at (800) 4629100 or by logging onto their website at www.gscwm.org.
Birdies for the Veterans
Continued from Page 1
Directors for the organization are all veterans themselves, including his daughter, who serves in the Massachusetts Air National Guard on Otis Air Force Base in Buzzards Bay. “We’ve had veterans come in from all over New England and as far away as San Diego, Michigan, Florida, for our retreats,” he said. “They have to pay their transportation, but if they can get here, we can get them into a retreat.” Shaker Farms Owner Nancy Kotowicz, who has three sons who have served or are currently serving in the armed forces, said the opportunity to host the tournament was one she wouldn’t ever pass up. “When they approached us, I was all for it. It’s hard for these guys to acclimate back into society after a deployment.” she said. “When our son first came back from Iraq, we had to go to a seminar to tell us some of the things you shouldn’t do. Don’t touch them when they’re sleeping, don’t make loud noises… there are a lot of little things.” In addition to her sons, Kotowicz’ father served in the Air Force, giving her the experience of life in a military family from an early age, and furthering solidifying an urge to help others returning home. “When Mr. Moore asked us to host this tournament, I was thrilled because it touches me personally,” she said. While the number of registered participants isn’t quite as great as Teitel had hoped, she said that she is open to late entrants to the field. “This is the first year and we got started a little late. I think we’re at 50-52 people,” she said. “It’s not huge. We’re starting little, but we’ve had some sponsors coming in so we’re good to go.” “We’re hoping to add to the numbers before Friday morning when we head up there.” added Moore. With an entrance fee of $100, Kotowicz, Moore and Teitel are optimistic they can raise a good amount of money for the organization this year and to continue to do so in the future. “It’s going to become an annual thing,” said Kotowicz confidently. Those who are unable to play in tomorrow’s “Birdies for the Veterans” tournament can visit the organization’s website www.projectnewhopema.org to learn more and to donate to the cause.
Continued from Page 1 five-year-lease-to-own agreement to purchase new smaller 65-gallon containers which will now be the trash containers. “We need new trucks so we can roll out the single-stream recycling program in November,” Billips said. “We can’t do that with the present trucks.” Billips said the rental bid is a shortterm solution because of the time lag related to the fabrication of the trucks. “Typically it takes six months to a year to get delivery,” Billips said. “These are not off-the-shelf items; they have to be fabricated to the specifications you give the vendor. We speced out for trucks with cameras and controls in the cab and an articulated arm.” Billips said the department is looking to acquire two trucks initially. “We will then determine, when the single-stream program is going, how
many trucks we will need,” he said. “Right now we’re using four recycling trucks for collection of bottles and cans and for collection of paper and cardboard. Single stream should reduce the number of trucks we need, but we won’t know that until the program is implemented.” Another factor in determining the size of the fleet is whether the city will continue to send truck to the Municipal Recycling Facility in Springfield or hire a vendor to transport the recyclable material from the Twiss Street transfer station to the Springfield facility. That option is attractive because it reduces turn-around time for the trucks and crews, as well as reducing the wearand-tear on the vehicles, but raises the issue of where a recycling transfer area could be established at Twiss Street.

Cressotti said that the two options to define the rail trail provide different enforcement tools for the city’s police department and that further discussion of those options is needed. Pac said the city needs to “regulate and manage the rail trail” and suggested creation of an ad hoc committee work to generate regulations, such as no motorized vehicles allowed, that could be codified in the city’s Code of Ordinances. The current ordinance, Chapter 11, Community Services; Article II, Public Parks; in general, already contains a list of prohibited activity, such as the possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages, a list that may need to be expanded to address concerns specific to a rail trail. Pac suggested that the ad hoc committee include a City Council representative, Cressotti, a Police Department representative and a representative from the cycling community. L&O member James R. Adams, an At-large Councilor, suggested that the committee look at regulations adopted in other communities which have had rail trails, and time to generate and modify those regulations. “I’d like to see what Northampton has for regulation, or Connecticut. In both of those places they’ve had rail trails for some time,” Adams said. L&O Chairman Brian Sullivan suggested that Figy serve on the ad hoc committee because a substantial part of the trail, the elevated portion, goes through the middle of Ward 2. “We welcome the opportunity to partner with the City to establish guidelines governing use of the Columbia Greenway,” said Jeffrey J. LaValley, chairman of the board of directors for the Friends of the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail (FOCGRT). “With leadership from Dr. Marijoan Bull, director of planning and development for FOCGRT, we have drafted language we believe is an excellent starting point for the City’s work on this issue. It is written to fit into the City’s existing ordinances.”

House backs Obama’s Syria plan Dems, GOP in unfavorability tie By Jonathan Topaz Politico.com Americans hold similarly favorable views of the Democratic and Republican parties, a new poll says. According to a Gallup poll released Thursday, 42 percent of Americans have a favorable view of the Democratic Party, compared with 40 percent for the GOP. Fifty-four percent have an unfavorable opinion of the Democrats, while 57 percent view the Republican party unfavorably. Americans have had a net negative view of both parties for much of the past four years. The Democratic Party at some points during President Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign had a net positive favorability rating, but otherwise, the public has viewed the parties more negatively at all measured points since 2010. Despite their party’s slightly worse rating, the survey is perhaps better news for Republicans, who have largely rebounded from its public relations disaster during the October 2013 government shutdown. Last fall, the party had its worst favorability rating ever recorded by Gallup at 28 percent, but its scores have now recovered to levels consistent with its rating in the past several years. Throughout recent history, Americans have typically viewed the Democratic Party more favorably than the Republican Party. The 42 percent favorability figure for Democrats is just one point above its all-time low, which came after Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law in early 2010. Independent voters have nearly identical views of both parties, with 36 percent viewing the GOP favorably and 35 percent viewing the Democratic Party that way. The survey was conducted September 4-7 with 1,017 adults on landlines and cellphones. The margin for error is plus-orminus four points.
By John Bresnahan and Lauren French Politico.com In a rare bipartisan show of support, the House approved President Barack Obama’s controversial plan to arm and train rebels in Syria, part of the White House’s strategy to confront the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant. The vote was 273-156 and was backed by 159 Republicans and 114 Democrats. Eighty five Democrats and 71 Republicans opposed the measure, with three GOP lawmakers not voting. Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) — who took the unusual step of voting for the Syria proposal — and his leadership team worked closely with White House officials and congressional Democrats to whip nervous lawmakers and drive the vote count as high as possible. The Syria language was attached as an amendment to a bill that keeps the government funded through mid-December. The Senate is expected to quickly take up and pass the legislation this week as Congress rushes to finish its work so members and senators can go home to run for reelection. Despite pleas from party leaders and a heavy dose of personal lobbying by Obama and other senior White House officials, dozens of war-weary Republicans and Democrats voted against the measure, saying the administration proposal is just another step in sending American combat troops back into Iraq, or dragging the United States into Syria’s bloody civil war. “We should have our eyes open wide enough to know we are being asked to do something more today than train 3 to 5,000 fighters in the Free Syrian Army,” insisted Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) who voted against the measure. “We are not facing a limited engagement but a new war.” Speier’s comments were similar to those of Obama skeptics on both the left and right. Republicans suggested Obama should be doing more, such as declaring war on ISIL, while Democrats fear the measure is just political cover for a large-scale military incursion in the Middle East. House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) told reporters after the vote that Obama needs to do more in convincing Congress that there is a comprehensive administrative strategy in countering ISIL before this issue comes before lawmakers again in December, when the continuing resolution runs out. Congress will have to vote at that time to extend the training and weapons program as part of a larger annual debate over U.S. national security policy. “[Obama] is going to have to report back to us on how the coalition is being built, how many troops, how much funding are those countries going to deliver and how is he going to do a vetting process to determine which Syrians to train,” Scalise said. “All of those things are all action items the president now has to go do but he has to report them back to Congress over the course of the next two months. I’d like to see the president lay out a broader plan.” Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.), Scalise’s top deputy whip, admitted the Syria vote was tougher for members than the final tally may indicate. “People looked at the same information and came to two different conclusions,” McHenry said. “There were reasonable disagreements in both parties about the president’s actions. And
John Boehner and his leadership team worked with Democrats drive up the vote count. (AP Photo) members on the Republican side would like to see a reasonable plan, not an action.” Even as the House was preparing to vote, the Obama administration was trying to defuse lawmakers’ concerns that this vote wouldn’t be the start of a third war in the Middle East for the United States in a 13-year span. In an appearance before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday, Secretary of State John Kerry insisted the administration isn’t sending ground troops to fight ISIL. “U.S. ground troops will not be sent into combat in this conflict,” Kerry said. “Instead, they will support Iraq forces on the ground as they fight for their country.” Boehner, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), other party leaders, and top Republicans and Democrats on the national security committees all came out in support for Obama’s Syria plan. The president has spoken to several of these lawmakers personally to thank them for their efforts. “This is important. This is urgent,” declared Pelosi. Pelosi’s support, as well as that from Minority Whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland and other top House Democrats, proved critical in the past few days. A number of House Democrats had been rattled by comments on Tuesday by Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey, who suggested U.S. combat units may end up engaging ISIL directly if this effort fails. Dempsey later tried to walk back those remarks, but the damage had already been done inside the Democratic Caucus. “The threat from ISIL is real,” insisted Reps. Nita Lowey and Steve Israel of New York, and Dutch Ruppersberger of Maryland in a letter to Democratic colleagues on Wednesday. “The vicious terrorist organization has beheaded two American journalists and a British aid worker and it threatens to harm more people. We must show ISIL that America will not stand for such brutality. ISIL must be stopped overseas before it has the chance to attack our homeland.” Still, there is serious doubt that this mission will be effective in stopping a terrorist group that has beheaded three Westerners while seizing control of territory in Syria and western Iraq. Boehner and other Republicans have talked about widening the mission after the midterm elections. Pelosi, meanwhile, privately told Democrats that Obama isn’t asking to go to war. Obama has used his authority under the 9/11 and Iraq War authorization resolutions — enacted in 2001 and 2002 — to launch dozens of U.S. airstrikes against ISIL fighters inside Iraq. But the White House says that Congress must approve the “Title X authority” in order for the Pentagon to begin vetting Syrian rebels for the new program. The language on the Syrian rebels will be inserted into a must-pass government spending bill, which keeps federal workers on their jobs until Dec. 11. The Obama administration will have to keep Congress fully apprised of how it intends to implement the training and equipment program for rebel groups. Fifteen days before any mission begins, the Pentagon will be required to report its plans to defense and intelligence committees. And every 90 days after the program starts, Congress must be updated by the administration.

Judge rejects North Adams man’s guilty plea NORTH ADAMS, Mass. (AP) — A judge has rejected a North Adams man’s attempts to reach a plea deal in a rape case because the defendant refused to take responsibility. Brenton Rohane is charged with drugging and raping a 17-year-old girl in May 2013. The 26-year-old Rohane was about to plead guilty to some charges he’s facing in Berkshire Superior Court on Wednesday when he was asked by the judge whether he raped the victim. The Berkshire Eagle reports that Rohane responded “no,” prompting the judge to throw out the plea and move the case to a trial. Prosecutors say Rohane plied the girl with alcohol, injected her with a drug and raped her when she was unconscious.

BOSTON (AP) — The chair of the Massachusetts Sex Offender Registry Board was dismissed and the agency’s executive director placed on administrative leave yesterday in what officials would only describe as a personnel matter. The registry maintains a database of convicted sex offenders and classifies offenders by the danger they could pose to the public. A spokesman for the state office of public safety confirmed that board chairwoman Saundra Edwards was relieved of duty and that executive director Jeanne Holmes placed on leave. In a statement, Secretary of Public Safety Andrea Cabral announced that Anne Conners, an investigator for the state Department of Early Education and Care, would replace Edwards as the board’s chair. Conners has worked with the board in the past, understands the criminal justice system and will “hit the ground running,”
group also emphasizes fun. Beyond their Big E performance, the Do Re Mi’s perform in nursing homes, hospitals, senior day care centers and senior complexes. They believe that music keeps you young. And to
see audiences clapping and singing along makes all the hard work worth it. If you enjoy singing, and are willing to volunteer your time and talent, please contact the Westfield COA at (413) 562-9624.
Cabral said. Kevin Hayden, who currently serves as general counsel for the registry, was named interim executive director until Conners appointed a permanent replacement for Holmes, Cabral said. The spokesman, Terrel Harris, said the administration would have no further comment on the departures because it was considered a personnel matter. Edwards was appointed to her post by Gov. Deval Patrick in 2007, and hired Holmes as executive director a short time later, Harris said. Conners promised in a statement to continue the agency’s “mission of educating and protecting the people of (Massachusetts).” Patrick is on a European trade mission and his office did not immediately have comment on the changes at the agency.

Halloween in New Orleans By MIKE PERCIACCANTE and CHRISTINE CONNALLON Correspondents New Orleans is a mystical and, in many ways, mythical place. The city, also known as “the birthplace of jazz” is definitely a place of spiritual mystery, awe, and fascination. That’s the mystical portion. As far as its mythicology, the city fits all into all the accepted descriptions, definitions and delineations of the word–it is fabled, fabulous, folkloric, fantastical, storied and idealized. In short it is a legendary place…its musical traditions has been at the forefront of virtually all American musical genres including jazz, blues, rock ‘n’ roll, funk, hip-hop, dance-pop and even heavy metal. It has been said that all American music can either be traced back to New Orleans or has taken a road through the city. Halloween is also known as All Hallows’ Eve and All Saints’ Eve. Historically, in the Christian faith All Hallows’ Eve is dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints, martyrs, and all the faithful departed. We all know it a yearly celebration where people wear costumes, attend parties and generally play dress-up as they party the night away. Children dress-up and go trick-or-treating throughout their neighborhoods. Neighborhoods and municipalities have many different events including: costume parties, contests for carving pumpkins into jack-o’-lanterns, bonfires, apple bobbing contests and haunted house attractions. Horror and occult themes abound. Voodoo is a religion practiced chiefly in Caribbean countries that unites Roman Catholic ritual elements with magic as performed by the descendants of West African slaves. In the voodoo religion, a supreme God rules a large pantheon of local and
tutelary deities, deified ancestors, and saints, who communicate with believers in dreams, trances, and ritual possessions. A voodoo can also be a charm, fetish, spell, or curse holding magic power for adherents of voodoo. Voodoo, however, to many is an event, an event that only New Orleans can host. Each year the city of New Orleans melds its mythology, mysticism, religious practices and musical history with the traditions of Halloween when it hosts The Voodoo Music + Arts Experience. The three-day festival, formerly known as The Voodoo Music Experience and most-often referred to as Voodoo or Voodoo Fest, is held in New Orleans’ City Park. Over the past fifteen years, the festival has hosted over 2000 artists and close to a million fans. The festival has always been scheduled on the weekend closes to Halloween. This year, Voodoo Fest actually encompasses the holiday, starting on Halloween, Friday, October 31, and it continuing through Sunday, November 2. Because of its diverse artist roster (its musical line-up features performers from almost every genre of music imaginable: jazz, blues, rock, funk, hip-hop, pop, EDM, worldbeat and heavy metal), Voodoo is clearly the best yearly concert experience in New Orleans. While the festival’s motto is “Worship the Music,” it is more than just a musical celebration. It also features world class food, art and interactive opportunities scattered throughout the City Park festival grounds. During the past fifteen years, since its 1999 debut, the VOODOO EXPERIENCE has called City Park in New Orleans its home. The festival has played host to local and international music superstars including: Pearl Jam, The Cure, Jack White, Wyclef Jean, Ben Folds, Rage Against The Machine, Kiss, R.E.M., The Pixies, Dr. John, Green Day, Nine Inch Nails, Thomas Dolby, AWOLNATION, Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Silversun Pickups, The Neville Brothers, The Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Irving Mayfield’s New Orleans Jazz Orchestra, John Boutte, Death Cab For Cutie, Royal Teeth, Panic At The Disco, Joss Stone, Interpol, The New Orleans Jazz Vipers,

Each stage features fantastic performances that leave the audience deliriously happy. A real key to the Voodoo Experience, is its proximity to everywhere. While New Orleans may be in the southern part of the U.S. , it is in the miuddle of the country–making it easily accessible to everyone. Its not that far from anywhere. This year’s lineup is stellar. Voodoo 2014 headliners include The Foo Fighters, Outkast, Skrillex, Arctic Monkeys, Zedd, AWOLNATION, Slayer, 30 Seconds to Mars, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Rise Against, Gogol Bordello, The Front Bottoms, Flux Pavilion, Fedde Le Grand, Manchester Orchestra, Claude Vonstroke, Galantis and dozens more. New Orleans stars in the lineup include Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue, The Soul Rebels, Bonerama, Royal Teeth, Quintron and Miss Pussycat, Givers, Royal Teeth, The Revivalists, and The Rebirth Brass Band. There is still more than enough time to book your flights or Amtrak passage and stays in a number of very nice 3 or more star New Orleans hotels. Special deals at discounted rates through Voodoo partners are available through The Voodoo Experience at: http://2014voodooexperience.eventtek.com. The festival also offers on-site camping. Details can be found at: http://worshipthemusic. com/camp-voodoo. Voodoo Experience tickets (also called credentials) can be obtained at thevoodooexperience.com and at https://www. festivalticketing.com/boxoffice. A single day ticket can be had for $73. The 3-day weekend ticket is a general admission ticket that grants you in/ out privileges all weekend long. The weekend pass ticket costs $175. Tickets to the The LOA Lounge, a special place with special privileges – which include everything from reserved on site parking to grandstand seating next to the main stage — must be purchased in advance and are on sale for $500 each. For a oneof-a-kind Voodoo Experience, there is the $2,500 (for two persons) 3-day Rites of Passage Package. In addition to two tickets, this special package offers: exclusive backstage and stage access, access to Soundboard Viewing Area at The Ritual Stage, access to the Artist Lounge and Artist Bar, all Loa credential amenities and benefits and much more. If you go, don’t forget to bring your love of music, your crappiest footwear (the kind you’re not worried about ruining and/or getting muddy) – New Orleanians call them Jazz Fest Sneakers — and plenty of Sun Block. There is always a chance of hurricane weather and fierce fall storms in the area. Let’s hope that it is a mild season and that the region is undamaged. And remember, when all else is lost and life gets you down, the music is always your friend!

Irving Berlin’s Holiday Inn If there’s any movie musical that cries out for a stage production, it’s Irving Berlin’s 1942 Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire musical “Holiday Inn”, directed by Mark Sandrich. It featured the now classic “White Christmas” along with other Berlin hits like “Easter Parade”. and “Be Careful, It’s My Heart”. Goodspeed Musicals closes its very satisfying 2014 season to date with the world premiere of “Irving Berlin’s Holiday Inn”, a stage version of the movie hit (through December 7). Goodspeed is known for sending musicals to Broadway. “Man of La Mancha”, “Annie” and “Shenandoah” got their start on the Connecticut River in East Haddam. “Irving Berlin’s Holiday Inn” could be the next Goodspeed-to-Broadway export. It also commemorates a Goodspeed milestone. It’s the swan song for Michael Price, who has led Goodspeed for decades. Gordon Greenberg and Chad Hodge have adapted the movie musical, using Ivring Berlin’s songs. For those who haven’t seen the movie, some showbiz types turn a Connecticut farmhouse into a jubilant nightspot…but only on holidays. Greenberg also directs, and Denis Jones choreographs. Heading the cast is acclaimed Broadway dancer Noah Racey, who starred in Goodspeed’s production of “Where’s Charley?”, singing and dancing the part made famous by Ray Bolger, and stopping the show with “Once in Love With Amy”. His Broadway credits include “Curtains” with David Hyde Pierce, “Never Gonna Dance”, and “Thoroughly Modern Millie”. Also cast is Patti Murin, direct from Broadway’s “Lysistrata Jones” and “Xanadu”. For tickets: 860-873-8668 or www.goodspeed.org
pletely sung-through, and quite visionary for its time. Michael Grandage, formerly with London’s Donmar Warehouse staged the recent Broadway revival, and his work is recreated for the tour by Seth Sklar-Heyn. Rob Ashford choreogeaphed the revival, and Chris Bailey recreates it for The Bushnell. On a personal note, I’ve always liked “Evita”. When I was living in New York, as the musical was wrapping up its long New York run. I used to
sneak in after intermission on occasion to catch the signature “Don’t Cry For Me, Argentina”, and the following “High Flying Adored”. Although I saw a number of Evitas, from LuPone to Loni Ackerman, my favorite was Florence Lacey. She now lives outside Hartford. For tickets: (860) 987-5900 or www.bushnell.org.

Evita
HARTFORD
The Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice blockbuster, “Evita”, opens The Bushnell’s Broadway season (September 23-28). It’s a stunning portrait (somewhat fictionalized) of Eva Duarte, an “actress” who used the casting couch to work her way into the role of Argentina’s first lady. Always true to her roots, she never forgot the people in her humble beginnings, yet she died young and became an icon. Tim Rice got the idea for “Evita” while listening to a radio program about Eva Peron’s remarkable, yet short life. It began life as a concept album in 1976, and Harold Prince turned it into a stunning Broadway musical (1979), which put Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin on the map. A revival was a hit of the 2012 Broadway season with Ricky Martin as Che. Caroline Bowman plays Eva in Hartford. Many people only know the film version of “Evita” which starred Madonna. The stage version is operatic in scope, almost com-

Robert B Spillane SOUTHWICK — Robert Berkeley Spillane 88 of Southwick MA and Palmetto, FLA died Friday May 30, 2014. He was the husband of the late Barbara Spillane. Bob was born in Hartford, CT on November 28, 1925. He was the son of the late Dr. Bernard Spillane and Grace Cook Spillane. Bob attended Avon Old Farms and Westminster School, and later went on to Michigan State and UConn to earn his degree in agricultural engineering. Upon graduation, he worked for Starline, designing barns and selling equipment to farms all over New England. After his marriage to Barbara, they decided to raise their family on the shores of Congamond Lake in Southwick. Bob and Barbara took their family on many camping trips and his enthusiasm for camping turned into a career. Together they built a successful family business, Travel Town Trailers still located in Southwick, MA. Bob was a proud WWII veteran who served in the Navy. Bob loved to tell stories about his adventures on the high seas as a gunners mate on the destroyer escort Carroll. Bob maintained contact with many of his navy “buddies” over the years often going to reunions and events. Bob loved music especially Rock and Roll and the Golden Oldies.

Westfield shuns stunner By Chris Putz Staff Writer HOLYOKE – The Westfield boys’ soccer team was stunned by Holyoke Wednesday. Thankfully, for the Bombers, there were 40 additional minutes to make amends. After allowing the game-tying score with 30 seconds remaining in the first half, Westfield scored three unanswered goals in the second half to defeat host Holyoke 4-1. Dante White netted a hat trick for Westfield with all three assists from Matt Butera. “I was not happy with them,” Westfield coach Andrew Joseph said of his team’s first half collapse. “We lost focus. Then we came out in the second half and dominated.” White and Mike Visconti tallied scores in the opening min-
utes of the second half. Visconti’s goal was unassisted. Butera and White later connected for an insurance goal.

WHS bedeviled By Chris Putz Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Kerry Fleming and Megan McCarthy scored one goal apiece – both first half efforts – to lead the Northampton High School field hockey team past Westfield 2-0 Wednesday in the Whip City. Dana Dufour made five saves in a shutout in goal for the Blue Devils. Westfield goalie Karly Mastello finished with 17. The going does not get much easier for the Bombers as they travel to Athol (Friday) before another road contest at Greenfield (Monday).

Southwick splits meet By Chris Putz Staff Writer HOLYOKE – Emily McKinney (19:03) finished first for Southwick (3-1) and sixth overall in Tuesday’s three-team meet at Whiting Reservoir, a meet that the Rams split. Southwick defeated Greenfield, 25-34, and lost to Holyoke Catholic 22-35. Holyoke Catholic’s Julie Carroll won the 2.72-mile race in 17 minutes, 11 seconds. Sam Smith finished second for Southwick in 19:55, good for ninth overall. The Rams will next host Hampshire Regional in a league meet showdown next Tuesday. “Hampshire’s number one runner, Sophia Prouty, will be a tough match for Southwick’s top runner, Emily McKinney,” Rams’ coach Kristin Tetreault said. The two runners have battled for the top spot numerous times throughout their track and cross country careers. Early next week, the two will cross paths again.

Ludlow 16, Westfield 44 The WHS Girls Cross Country team continued their season with an away meet against Ludlow High School on Tuesday. While the Ludlow 3.1 mile course was not as rugged as many, the Ludlow team has historically been exceptionally tough. Westfield started all 23 girls on the roster against 20 from Ludlow, and the Bombers took the lead positions of the pack in the early stages of the race. While each of the Westfield girls turned in a season best time, Ludlow’s top runners secured a 16-44 win by taking the top four finish spots. Westfield’s top 10 runners on Tuesday were freshman sensation Sophie Gronbeck (22:39), Julie Guarente (23:31), Hannah Giffune (24:01), Carley Censabella (24:04), Celina Billerbeck (24:11), Madi Eline (24:45) , Sam Tuttle (25:42), Amaya Diana (25:43), Ellie Dufraine (26:03), and Vicky Sardinha (26:14). Among the 15 veteran Bomber runners, five recorded all time personal best times – Julie Guarente, Hannah Giffune, Carley Censabella, Vicky Sardinha, and Hannah Bone.

Rams win 4th straight By Chris Putz Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – With the recent success that the Southwick High golf team has enjoyed, a season-opening loss to Palmer is but a distant memory.

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
What can I do? Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married more than 40 years. He rarely calls me by my name and never uses terms of endearment. He just talks at me. I’ve put up with his emotional neglect and his forcing me to have sex when I didn’t want to. He’s had so many affairs, I have lost count. He has refused to do any repairs to our home except for the cheapest kind. He also built a garage as big as our house, and it’s so filled with junk that there is barely enough room for the cars. He also piles junk in the house. This man is a scoutmaster, and everyone thinks he is a saint. He was on a nearby campout, and when I came home last night and turned on the kitchen lights, sparks shot out everywhere and all the electricity went off. I called my husband and told him he had to come fix it. He came home and played with the fuse box and then said I had to call an electrician. He said he was going back to camp. But he didn’t. I called him after he left -- and long after he should have returned to the campsite -- but he still wasn’t there. He said he had just reached the town limits. When I asked where he had been all this time, he made up some flimsy excuse. What can I do? -- No Lights Dear No Lights: You can ask yourself why you are still with a man who neglects you, physically assaults you, has multiple affairs and can’t even bother to keep his home in good repair. We would consider this an abusive relationship. You cannot force your husband to be a decent man. You can, however, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org) at 1-800-799-SAFE and also get counseling for yourself. Ask your doctor to refer you. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Arizona,” whose friend “Mary” had cut off their friendship after 30 years because Arizona didn’t use her mortgage lender. In your response, you said Mary is high maintenance, emotionally demanding, etc. When I read the letter, I judged her to be getting a kickback from the mortgage lender. Second, why is the name “Mary” used so often when things are bad? After all, there is a famous Mary from the Bible. -Mary B. Dear Mary: To answer your first comment, we agree that Mary may have been getting a kickback, but it doesn’t make her any less high maintenance. “Arizona” said Mary had used this type of emotional blackmail in the past. As to your second question, we don’t deliberately use the name “Mary” to indicate anything negative. We use the pretend names the readers give us or create our own to disguise the identities of the people involved. Mary is a popular and common name, so it pops up a lot, and because most people write us when they have a problem, it would stand to reason that many nasty things involve “Mary.” But we think you’re a peach, so we’ll try not to use it too often. Dear Annie: Thank you for publishing information about gluten and celiac disease. You wrote that gluten stimulates an immune response in celiac disease patients and then went on to mention long-term damage and implications. It could help to heighten awareness among waitstaff and hosts if they knew the specific immediate immune responses gluten provokes in people with celiac disease. For example, my daughter suffers severe abdominal pain and unrelenting diarrhea within a day or two of ingesting gluten. No one would knowingly provoke anaphylactic shock in a person with a nut allergy by “inadvertently” serving them peanuts, so people might be more careful about gluten if they knew the physical symptoms it causes. -- Gluten-Free Mom Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
HINTS FROM HELOISE NO SLIP Dear Heloise: I have a large food processor that chops, shreds, slices, etc. The suction plate for it is clamped to the counter by using a small lever. It would no longer adhere, so I tried washing the plate with pure vinegar, and lo and behold, it really grips the countertop now. If this works on the counter, it probably would clean any suction-cup device that adheres to windows, etc. -Joan, via email Yes, vinegar will clean away a lot of grease and grime! It is such a versatile product -- everyone should have a gallon handy. I use vinegar for more things than you can imagine! Heloise’s Fantabulous Vinegar Hints and More pamphlet is stuffed with money-saving hints using this miracle liquid. To order one, please send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Boiling cabbage? To cut down on odor, add a splash of vinegar to the cooking water. -- Heloise EGG HOLDER Dear Heloise: When I need to take two eggs out of the fridge and place them on the counter, I use my scissors and place the two eggs in the finger holds. This way, the eggs never roll around the counter, and when they are ready to use, they are still safe. -- Jan in Utah

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Sept. 18, 2014: This year you have the endurance, creativity and support to achieve what you desire. You are likely to hit a home run in at least one area of your life. Go over your long-term goals this birthday, and question if they are still valid. Many of you will notice a change. If you are single, you are likely to meet a potential sweetie through a friend, or a friendship will transform into a romance. If you are attached, you will enjoy being more social with your sweetie, but don’t forget to schedule at least one getaway together. LEO understands you better than you realize!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You could get caught up in a domestic issue, but feedback from a key person might help. You intuitively will mobilize your energy to resolve the problem. Make sure to schedule an appointment for a checkup. You have been pushing hard. Tonight: Nap, then decide. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Others seem to be focused on being more caring. You’ll need to ask questions in order to see the big picture. Information that comes in could require you to do some research. Don’t allow your imagination to do the work. Tonight: Socialize, but make it an early night. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Know where your money is going. Don’t hesitate to ask for an explanation from the bank, a partner or whoever else might be involved. Listen to feedback from a loved one or a neighbor, as this person tends to see situations differently from how you see them. Tonight: Hang out. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You could encounter a problem with a real estate matter or some issue involving your domestic life. Once you open up conversation, you will see the solution and act on it. Be willing to go out of your way to treat a loved one. Buy a token of affection. Tonight: Indulge a little. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You’ll want to assume a low profile during the day. When asking questions, your observations might be more important than the responses you receive. Others will open up and speak more if you are less talkative and more receptive. Tonight: Stay out late. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Listen to a friend’s news. You might believe that he or she has left out some important facts, but recognize that you can get more information only when you know more about the situation. Use caution with money, and count your change. Tonight: Make weekend plans. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You have a tendency to worry too much and create problems where there are none. You might have to shoulder some extra responsibility. Don’t allow these tasks to become a part of your daily life. You are just doing someone else a favor -- period. Tonight: Be playful. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Keep your eye on the long term, and don’t let your emotions take over right now. You need to take another look at a personal situation. Intellectual pursuits are very possible, as long as you tap into your creativity. Welcome a different perspective. Tonight: Follow the music. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to touch base with a close friend or loved one before acting on what you deem a “good idea.” Though you might not be ecstatic about some of the feedback, your idea will get a practical new look. Tonight: Plan a concert, a trip or some other weekend happening. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You will enjoy letting others carry the ball for you. The experience could prove to be enlightening for both them and you. Understand what motivates you to take the lead so often; you might be far more controlling than you realize. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You are determined to get done two days’ worth of work in one. Be careful, because new information could head your way that might force you to backtrack and do what you believed was already done. Recognize your limita-

Crosswords
tions. Tonight: Happily fancy-free. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Continue to tap into your imagination to discover what might be the best way to forge ahead with a project. Discuss your ideas with a trusted adviser or counselor. Understand what is happening with a child and/or loved one. Tonight: Let the fun begin.
