Bedroom assault beaten back

School budget to be unveiled tomorrow night

By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A resident of General Shepard Apartments suffered only a minor injury after he awoke to find a man armed with a knife standing next to his bed and threatening to kill him.

The man had been awakened, police report, when his wife screamed after she awoke to see the man, dressed in black, standing over her husband holding a knife from her kitchen.

Police report that the man in bed grabbed for the knife and sustained a cut on his hand but the couple fought off the man who fled.

The incident was reported to police at 3:16 a.m. Monday, who found that the man had broken into the ground floor apartment via a laundry room.

Officer Efrain Luna reports he had been in the area investigating another break-in but, when he heard the dispatcher report the incident at General Shepard Apartments, he moved that way to help.

He said that he approached traveling the wrong way on one-way Chapel Street and surprised a man dressed in black who fled through Monroe Street backyards when he saw Luna’s cruiser.

Luna initiated a foot pursuit and, with Officer Jared Rowe who was also looking for the suspect, detained the man on Monroe Street.

The two victims were transported there, separately, and each identified the man as the intruder who, they said, stated when he was in their apartment that he was going to kill them.

Both said that the man was unknown to them.

The man was not found to be in possession

By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – At last night’s School Committee meeting, Chairman Daniel M. Knapik announced that a special meeting will be held tomorrow evening at 6 p.m. to unveil the budget for the fiscal year 2015.

“I think we’ve accomplished a lot over the last few years,” he said. “In fiscal year 2009, state aid, local aid, and Chapter 70 was $41,114,619. This year’s proposed unrestricted local aid and Chapter 70 was $38,816,381.”

“Interestingly enough, ’09 was the highpoint for the city. ’10, ’11, and ’12 were three sliding years. ’13 it started to click up.” Knapik said, calling it a “very disturbing trend.”

“The amount of year-over-year growth before the rececession was typically four to six percent,” he said. “Today, it’s barely a fraction of a percent, and that’s likely to be the forecast for the future.”

Knapik said that, based on this year’s projected numbers for local aid and Chapter 70, it will take 10 years or more to reach 2009 numbers.

“If state was just simply what it was in ’09, things would be a lot better for the city,” he said. “And it’s not just Westfield. It’s everywhere.”

Knapik urged city residents to call their legislators and ask them to “pound on the Speaker’s and Senate President’s doors” regarding local aid.

“It’s awful, and that’s the one thing they would not hear this year was anything on local aid,” he said.

While Knapik wouldn’t go into detail about how the proposed $57.6 million budget’s $2.3 million deficit was closed, he did say that the details would be rolled out tomorrow night.

Westfield School Superintendent Dr. Suzanne Scallion also took the opportunity to address a “misrepresentation” regarding a budget presentation she made several weeks ago.

“I made a reference to other communities in the Commonwealth that were in a similar situation as ours, one

Armed assault alleged

By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A Rachael Terrace resident who allegedly pointed a handgun at another man’s face now faces a variety of firearms charges.

City police responded to a call from a Phelps Avenue resident in the early hours of Friday morning who reported that a person came from a neighbor’s apartment and menaced her boyfriend with a handgun.

The caller said that the suspect had fled in a described vehicle which was spotted leaving the area by Officer Efrain Luna as he arrived.

Luna reversed course and caught up with the car near the intersection of Court and High streets but waited to stop the car, on Broadway, until officers Francis Gaulin, Kevin Bard and Jared Rowe converged.

Luna said later that Gaulin ordered the suspect, James J. McConkey, 22, of 51 Rachael Terrace to exit the car and demanded to know the location of the gun.

While Bard took control of the suspect and Luna took the overwatch position, Gaulin and Rowe checked the interior of the vehicle finding no additional occupants. A 9 mm Smith and Wesson automatic pistol was found where McConkey said it was, under the driver’s seat.

Luna reports that one round was chambered and four more were in the 12-shot magazine.

At Phelps Avenue, Officer David Burl spoke with the victim, a man well-known to many city officers from many previous incidents, who said that McConkey had been banging on the door and yelling for him to come outside.

When he went out, the victim said, the suspect stuck a pistol in his face and they exchanged words before the suspect fled.

McConkey was found to have no license to carry a firearm and was arrested on firearms charges, as well as the underlying charge of assault with a dangerous weapon.

Two firefighter/ EMTs hired

By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – Two full-time firefighter/EMTs were selected from a pool of five candidates last night.

The Board of Selectmen chose Jessica Bishop and Michael “Eric” Brogan to fill the positions. Both are volunteer members of the Southwick Fire Department.

Other candidates were Sarah Leavy, also a volunteer firefighter with the department, Timothy O’Keefe, a paramedic and firefighter in Springfield, and volunteer firefighter from Tolland, Jake Littlefield.

Bishop said she was happy to be selected, but it was “bittersweet” because the three candidates from the SFD are very close and she was sorry only two positions were open.

During the interview process, all five candidates were asked the same 15 questions and given an opportunity to speak to the board and Fire Chief Richard Anderson, who participated in the selection process.

Anderson said it was a tough decision and he was proud of his three SFD privates.

“Three of those interviews were with my people,” he said. “I’ve got some good people.”

The new full-time SFD members should begin in a few weeks following several tests, including a physical exam.

During the interview, Bishop said she found her passion later than See Firefighter/EMTs, Page 3

Restaurants ready for Gas Light renovations

By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The city’s Gas Light District, an area bounded by Court, Elm, Franklin and Washington Streets, will be undergoing significant water and gas utilities renovations this year, including improvements to on and off-street parking, as well as to sanitary sewer systems.

Pavement and sidewalk reconstruction, traffic signs and pavement markings are also slated, as well as street and pedestrian lighting improvements.city website.

Summer, Spring, Arnold, Church, School, and Central streets are all listed as arteries which will be impacted by the renovations. A new street will be created through the Arnold Street municipal parking lot, as an offset from Summer Street, that will cut through between Church and School streets.

Restaurateurs such as Laurie Varelas of The Good Table Restaurant on School Street are trying to stay optimistic about the changes.

“It’s going to get harder for us.

I’ve informed my staff ‘budget accordingly,’” said Varelas.

“Parking is a major issue now. It is going to get even harder for our customers. Hopefully our reputation speaks for itself and people will still come down and support The Good Table.”

Wings Over Westfield owner Harold Tramazzo is confident that his new venture will overcome any construction-related headaches.

“I think we’ll be fine,” he said yesterday. “There are enough people here. (The Hangar) is a name, and I think there are enough people who know who we are.”

Tramazzo stated that the renovations and improvements are a step in the right direction.

“By the end of three years, with the garage coming in, there will be tons of parking. It’ll be easy to get in and out,” he said, adding that the city will also be beautifying the parking lot with a proposed pocket park area.

Gianni Calabrese, owner of Emma’s Everyday Gourmet, located on the corner Washington and Arnold Streets, has seen plenty of roadwork done in the neighborhood over the past few years.

“Of course it worries me,” he said. “The roads will be messed up.

There will be a lot of dust. But as long as people can access the parking lot… It’s just a matter of doing it right.”

Calabrese said that his father-inlaw had a restaurant which fell victim to roadwork and renovations.

“He had a restaurant, Piccolo’s, that went out of business,” he said.

“It had no parking lot, and the road See Gas Light District, Page 3

Park board OKs spray park project

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Parks & Recreation Commission voted Monday night to approve construction of a spray park at Sadie Knox Field, the last step in securing a $200,000 state grant.

Community Development Director Peter J. Miller, Jr. said the city considered two other playgrounds on the city’s Northside, the Paper Mill and Hampton Ponds facilities, but that the Sadie Knox site, located on Prospect Street, was the best fit for the state Our Common Backyard grant.

“The Governor (Deval Patrick) wants to build a spray park or playground in every community before the end of the year,” Miller said. “The site has to be near an environmental justice neighborhood.”

Miller said the present basketball court at Sadie Knox will be cut to a half court to make room for the spray park.

“People report they don’t see a lot of full-court action, most of it is half court,” Miller said. “This location keeps the softball fields usable and unimpeded as possible during construction of the spray park.”

Miller said other amenities such as benches, improved bathroom,s and handicapped accessible sidewalks are included in the scope of the project.

The City Council unanimously approved an appropriation of $300,000 in Community Preservation Act funding at its meeting last week which clears the way for advertising the spray park construction contract.

Ad company takes down Southern secession billboard MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — The head of the Confederate League of the South says an advertising company has removed a highway billboard that advocated a Southern secession from the United States.

Michael Hill is president of the Confederate League of the South. He said Monday that Lamar Advertising Co. took down the billboard along Interstate 85 in Montgomery following complaints. The billboard had the word “secede” in capital letters, along with the league’s name and website.

The sign went up Friday and was removed over the weekend.

Hill said the company offered a refund, but that wasn’t necessary since he had yet to pay.

A Lamar Advertising executive did not return a message seeking comment.

Aide to Senate leader testifies in probation case

By BOB SALSBERG Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — An aide to Senate President Therese Murray told a jury yesterday that she provided help to several people who contacted the Democratic leader’s office about jobs in the state probation department, but also said under cross-examination that she also routinely assisted job seekers in other government agencies.

Francine Gannon, Murray’s director of constituent services, testified in the federal trial of former state probation Commissioner John O’Brien and two deputies, Elizabeth Tavares and William Burke, who are accused of funneling jobs to politically connected applicants at the expense of more qualified candidates. They pleaded not guilty to charges including mail fraud and bribery.

Gannon testified she met O’Brien only once in person, describing a friendly meeting in 2008 during which she gave him a list of 11 people who were seeking positions as probation officers.

At one point in the meeting, Gannon said she recalled either O’Brien or

Edward Ryan, the department’s legislative liaison, asking about the agency’s budget.

“I don’t get involved in any budgetary matters,” Gannon recalled telling the men, adding they would have to speak directly to Murray or other officials in the office about legislative issues.

Federal prosecutors have alleged that O’Brien and the other defendants used jobs to curry favor with lawmakers who set the agency’s annual budget.

Gannon testified yesterday about help she provided in landing jobs for several probation officers, including applicants who had been referred to Murray’s office by other lawmakers, and one who had come recommended by Cape and Islands District Attorney Michael O’Keefe.

She testified that she kept detailed files on each job seeker and often kept Murray apprised of progress made by applicants whom the Senate leader had a personal interest in.

U.S. District Judge William Young had denied a motion by prosecutors to bar defense attorneys from questioning

Gannon about her efforts on behalf of other job seekers, notably those looking for employment as court officers in the state’s trial court.

The defense hopes to show the jury that patronage hiring extended well beyond the probation department.

Under cross-examination, Gannon testified that she responded to an inquiry from Norfolk County Sheriff Michael Bellotti, who was seeking Murray’s help in getting a full-time court officer position for his sister, Patricia Bellotti.

Gannon also said she helped the father of Murray’s chief of staff, who was then working as a restaurant cook, pursue a job as an associate court officer.

Gannon, who was granted immunity from prosecution, was unapologetic, saying she learned of the importance of helping constituents in her first job decades ago under the late U.S. House Speaker Thomas P. “Tip” O’Neil, whom she called “the most wonderful person who ever served in public life.”

“There is so much satisfaction when you see the results when you genuinely help people,” she added.

“Some people are lucky enough to know what they want to do with the rest of their life when early on in life,” she said.

“I’ve had a lot of experiences and I’ve lived a long 36 years and when I got on an ambulance for the first time, I knew it was what I wanted to do.”

Bishop said she is dedicated to the job and the community.

“For some people, a small town and a small department are a stepping stone, but that’s not for me,” said Bishop. “I want this to be the beginning of my fire career, and the end of my career.”

When asked why he should be hired, Brogan said he is dedicated.

“I enjoy the job – I put everything I have into it,” he said. “I really enjoy helping people.”

Brogan, 29, said he brings a lot of experience to the position, including nine years of military service.

The candidates were asked to share a time when they went above and beyond the call of duty. Bishop said she responded early one morning to a call for a elderly woman who fell. Upon arrival, the woman was already back in bed and was uninjured, but Bishop stayed and spoke to her and listened to her for nearly an hour because she could tell the woman needed to talk to someone.

Brogan said he could not pick a single incident because he tries “to go above and beyond for all” calls.

They were also asked to describe their toughest day on the job. Brogan spoke about responding to a fatal accident where he had to make the call on an occupant in a vehicle who was dead on arrival. Assessing the situation quickly and making that call allowed them to move to the next victim and a life was saved.

Bishop said her hardest call was for the evaluation of a sick person who turned out to be a 17-year-old homeless person who was very sick and dying.

Both candidates explained the chain of command within the department and responded to questions about how to approach specific fire and emergency situations.

He was held without right to bail pending a dangerousness hearing scheduled for May 28.

“I’ve been monitoring everything that goes out the door,” she said. “Portion control, which is what we’ve been doing from the beginning, not wasting product so I can keep my prices down.”

She also wishes that the city would rid the parking lot behind the restaurant of the planters which keep it from reaching it’s full potential.

“If we could take the islands out and have one huge municipal lot for all the surrounding businesses, it would be cheaper for plowing, beneficial for customers coming downtown,” Varelas said. “We are still very limited (in terms of parking).”

Alleged Assault Continued from Page 1 Arraigned before Judge Philip A. Contant in Westfield District Court on Friday, he was held without right to bail pending a pre-trial detention hearing yesterday.

At the hearing, Luna said McConkey acknowledged the incident had occurred and said that he was upset with the victim because he has often called police to complain about his friends who live in the apartment above the apartment where the victim frequently stays with his girlfriend.

At the hearing, Luna said, the victim testified that he had yelled a demand for quiet to his neighbors shortly before the incident.

Luna testified that McConkey said that he had originally bought the gun while he was stationed at Fort Hood in Texas and subsequently sold it to a friend there. Then his friend was deployed and, when he had no safe place to store the gun, McConkey agreed to keep it for him.

McConkey, arraigned on Friday for charges of assault with a dangerous weapon, carrying a firearm without a license, possession of ammunition without a FID card, possession of a large capacity firearm and improper storage of a firearm, was released on his personal recognizance after the hearing yesterday.

He was ordered to make no threats or violence toward the named victim and is due to return to court on Aug. 5.

The contractor for the Main/Broad street reconstruction project, which include Park Square Green, notified city officials that it is returning $94,938.80 to the city.

Cressotti said the money, part of a city bond, was designated for work at the Green, but the state Department of Transportation paid the contractor.

“This money goes back to the city’s bond to be used for enhancements to Park Square Green,” Cressotti said. “Right now some of it is being used for construction of the pavilion and will be used to buy the windows, doors and copula for the pavilion. There’s still a lot to be done.”

COMMENT

Regarding Friday May 16 Letter to the Editor: Thank you, Mr. Mederios. You summed it up re: land-taking and out-oftowners. Regarding Councilor Flaherty’s article from Saturday, May 17: if only more councilors would listen to you, then tyrannical rule would be eliminated. Land-taking is wrong.

Hello, Westfield! I am proud to say I have been living in this city all of my life, give or take a few months here and there. I signed up to vote when I was of age and I voted every time there has been an election and I am happy to say I did not vote for eminent domain Knapik. I think we should start thinking about a new mayor in Westfield and maybe some new councilmen. They don’t have to last as long as they can hold out like Congressmen, you know, and waste all of our time. But what is going on in Westfield now is plain old crap. I think Mr. Potato Head would be a better mayor for Westfield. At least he’s got a good clean face, good clean look and I’m sure he’s got more common sense, more smarts, then the guy we have in there now. – The Guy from Shaker Road.

Free preventive care can still cost

By Brett Norman Politico.com “Free” preventive health care is one of Obamacare’s chief selling points. But as millions of newly covered people begin to seek that benefit, some are still getting stuck with bills.

The Affordable Care Act requires insurers to pay the full cost of services like cholesterol checks, women’s birth control, immunizations, colonoscopy screenings and a host of other items. It also covers “well visits” for children and adults — periodic checkups not triggered by a particular health complaint.

But does a free colonoscopy cover just the screening or the immediate removal of polyps, too? Does the smoking-cessation benefit include counseling, medication or both? And exactly when does a routine checkup become an ailment-specific appointment and leave patients on the financial hook?

The law’s preventive care provisions are an object lesson in the challenges of putting relatively straightforward policy into practice in the country’s byzantine health care system, and the results to date show that the promise of no-cost services are not yet a full reality.

“We are seeing a lot of this,” said Robert Luisana, an insurance broker in North Carolina who counsels his clients to ask doctors about exactly what’s covered as a preventive service. “Everybody is not on the same page.”

Most of the new exchange plans — and an increasing number of workplace plans, too — carry substantial deductibles that consumers must meet before the insurer begins covering any bills. That raises the stakes on what applies as a preventive service with no out-of-pocket cost vs. a treatment for which the patient may end up paying full freight, said Katherine Hempstead, who works on coverage issues at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

“As people start to use these plans, and people are making appointments right now, I think it has to be super clear what is covered and what’s not,” Hempstead said. “And right now, there is a fair amount of confusion.”

The preventive care provisions were among the first benefits to kick in after the ACA was signed four years ago — not just for people who would eventually get health coverage through the new exchange plans but for anyone whose coverage didn’t qualify for a “grandfathered” exemption.

The benefits were anchored by a list of services that got top marks from the United States Preventive Services Task Force, a panel of physicians and public health experts that recommends best practices for preventive care. Since then, the list has been expanded to more fully address children’s and women’s health.

Of course, no services are ever actually free since consumers pay indirectly for them through their premiums. But people are more likely to pursue care when they don’t have to pay extra to get it. A central goal of the law is to encourage people to maintain good health and get treated for problems early to avoid the more expensive care that advanced conditions typically require.

For women, that’s why the law provides for mammograms and Pap smears without cost sharing. Contraception and breastfeeding benefits are included as well, although women’s health advocates say those are being covered unevenly by insurers.

“Things are moving in a very positive direction, but we’re still getting reports of real problems,” said Judy Waxman, vice president for health and reproductive rights at the National Women’s Law Center.

Under the ACA, insurers are required to pay for all Food and Drug Administration-approved contraceptives without co-pay, from the pill to the patch to barrier methods and intrauterine devices. Yet some plans have declined to cover options that would be better for women with certain needs, according to Waxman and other advocates.

Women “need strong enforcement of this provision. We need it from [the Department of Health and Human Services]. We need it from state insurance officials,” said Amy Allina, deputy director of the National Women’s Health Network, at a Kaiser Family Foundation event last week on women’s access to care. “And until it becomes the established norm, we need to educate women about what they’re supposed to be getting so they can demand it.”

Such education is a challenge. A recent Kaiser survey found that just 60 percent of women know their plans must cover these basic services, and federal health officials acknowledge they must do a better job of communicating the benefits in general. HHS has funded the development of a free mobile phone application focused on preventive benefits, including what services consumers are entitled to without a co-pay.

States take on immigration

By Seung Min Kim Politico.com Fed up with an immigration overhaul stalling in Congress, state and local officials are taking the issue into their own hands.

Liberal cities and counties are rebelling against federal orders that call on them to detain immigrants for deportations.

Swing-state lawmakers are approving in-state tuition for young undocumented immigrants. Democratic governors and mayors are brainstorming ways to allow immigrants — those here legally and those who are not — to work.

Until now, conservatives were fueling much of the immigration action at the state and local level. Arizona, for instance, famously shot to national attention in 2010 with a wide-ranging law that was then heralded as the toughest anti-illegal immigration statute in the nation.

But the more recent bursts of immigration activity nationwide are aimed at making the country more immigrant-friendly. And they give Democrats in Washington another opportunity to slam Republicans for failing to move immigration legislation.

“It should tell you just how far out of sync the Republican majority is,” Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) said of the recent flurry of pro-immigrant actions outside Washington. “It’s like, the country is moving.”

The most widespread trend is the rising number of local law enforcement agencies that have decided to buck federal immigration authorities on deportations — a movement that could have national implications.

In recent weeks, officials in Philadelphia and Baltimore and a slew of counties across Oregon, Colorado and Washington have all said they will no longer hold immigrants in jail who are suspected of being here illegally but would otherwise be released from behind bars.

The trend is a significant rebuke of Secure Communities, a program run by Immigration and Customs Enforcement that requires local law enforcement to hand over fingerprints to federal immigration officials of those who are booked into jails.

If the fingerprint flags a potential undocumented immigrant, local jails are asked to detain him or her — even if the person is otherwise eligible to be released. Secure Communities began in 2008 under former President George W. Bush but has expanded under the Obama administration.

Now, there are clues that President Barack Obama is preparing to overhaul the controversial program. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, who is heading a review of the Obama administration’s deportation policies, told “PBS NewsHour” last week that he was looking at a “fresh start” for Secure Communities.

The flood of changes at jails across the country has been spurred in part by an Oregon federal court decision in April, which found that such “detainers” could violate Fourth Amendment rights.

Officials who have chosen not to comply with detainer requests say law enforcement resources should be focused on people who pose a threat to public safety. For instance, the Baltimore City Detention Center will hold only immigrants who are facing charges or convictions on felonies, three or more misdemeanors or a “serious” misdemeanor, according to The Baltimore Sun. Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, who is considering a run for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016, announced the change in policy.

The Secure Communities program has long concerned immigration advocates, who believe it could invite racial profiling and deter immigrants from reporting crimes to local police.

Further irritating advocates, a Senate report last month alleges that a former acting DHS inspector general, Charles Edwards, altered some wording in a 2012 investigation of Secure Communities at the behest of Homeland Security officials — calling into question the agency watchdog’s independence.

Lawmakers on Capitol Hill, such as members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and many immigration advocates want the Obama administration to dump the program entirely.

“The distrust of the administration’s enforcement record on immigration extends to us as much as it extends to the right,” said Chris Newman, the legal director for the National Day Laborer Organizing Network. “Immigrant-rights advocates are similarly distrustful.”

But the immigration movement nationwide extends beyond law and order.

Officials in Florida and Virginia — two critical swing states — recently approved lower tuition rates for undocumented immigrants who attend state schools. The Florida Legislature approved its measure earlier this month. Gov. Rick Scott, a Republican, supports the measure and is poised to sign it.

And in Virginia, Attorney General Mark Herring announced in April that thousands of young undocumented immigrants there would be eligible to pay reduced tuition rates. The move is aimed at beneficiaries of a 2012 Obama administration directive that effectively blocks deportations for young undocumented immigrants and gives them work permits.

The two states joined 19 others that offer in-state tuition —

rates significantly lower than those of out-of-state students, which immigrants here illegally would otherwise have to pay — for undocumented immigrants at some, or all, of their public colleges and universities, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

On the flip side, three states — Arizona, Georgia and Indiana — explicitly ban in-state tuition for immigrants here unlawfully. Alabama and South Carolina take it further, blocking any undocumented student from enrolling in public postsecondary schools.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, one of the Republican authors of the landmark Senate immigration bill that passed last June, said he believed lawmakers in his home state wrote the tuition law “appropriately” — meaning that criteria to qualify for reduced tuition rates was written in a narrow way that wouldn’t disadvantage those who are here legally.

“What it does point out is that as long as this issue remains unresolved at the federal level, you’re going to continue to have issues like this pop up at the state level,” Rubio said.

The 2012 initiative from the Obama administration targeted at so-called dreamers has also spurred efforts locally to incorporate young undocumented immigrants into the workforce.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a former Democratic congressman and White House chief of staff, said in April that the city was opening up thousands of internships, volunteer opportunities and jobs to undocumented immigrants.

The shift from Emanuel on immigration is particularly noteworthy since he once cautioned that the issue was the “third rail of American politics.” Latino lawmakers on Capitol Hill viewed him as a key obstacle toward reform in Obama’s first term.

And in Massachusetts, Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick has proposed a program that would employ high-skilled foreign workers who could not otherwise obtain an H-1B visa, which are generally capped at 85,000 per year. Patrick aims to do so by installing these immigrants as “entrepreneurs in residence” at nonprofit colleges and universities, where immigrant workers are exempted from the H-1B cap.

“Some of the same momentum that kick-started immigration reform after the 2012 elections … took over at state legislatures and in city councils around the country,” said Kamal Essaheb, an immigration policy attorney at the National Immigration Law Center. “We saw that state and city lawmakers found that some of those policies were good politics.”

Immigration advocates have largely applauded these actions on the enforcement, education and employment fronts as they continue to criticize congressional inaction. Yet, many of these moves nationwide aren’t without controversy.

Herring’s decision to grant in-state tuition to undocumented immigrants was criticized by those who thought such action should come from the Legislature — not a legal opinion.

Virginia lawmakers had already killed a similar measure.

That dynamic could replay itself nationally if the Obama administration decides to enact sweeping changes to its immigration enforcement policies.

And efforts to oppose Secure Communities are drawing criticism from enforcement hawks, who believe Obama has been too lax in carrying out immigration statutes.

“The administration’s open disregard for immigration law is actually sending a signal to a lot of jurisdictions that they could get away with a lot more than they could,” said Mark Krikorian, the executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies.

Still, immigration advocates hope the push from across the nation will reverberate inside Washington.

“Leaders in Congress are representatives of their states and their districts. They are bringing to the reform debate what they are hearing from their constituents,” said Karen Lucas, a legislative associate at the American Immigration Lawyers Association. “And, more and more, what they are hearing … is that we’re ready.”

BOSTON (AP) — A mental health evaluation has been ordered for a man accused of trying to take two loaded handguns into a Boston University commencement.

Marshfield resident Andrea Massa was arrested by university police at a bag check area Sunday afternoon. He pleaded not guilty Monday to charges of carrying a firearm on school grounds, disturbing a school and disturbing a public assembly.

A judge set bail at $100,000.

The Boston Globe reports defense attorney Charles Humphreys said in court Massa mistakenly believed his firearms license allowed him to carry the concealed weapons.

Massa’s wife has said he was arrested when he tried to leave the commencement after realizing he wouldn’t be let in. She says they were there for her sister’s graduation.

MERS in Faces of America: Carson

The Carson Center for Human Services Celebrating 50 Years of Real Help with Real Life 1963-2013 “I dunno; I guess so.” It was the best Sara could do with her Carson In Home Therapist. Sara’s mom had found her an In Home Therapist who was trained in Art Therapy because everyone who knew Sara knew that she drew all the time. Sara drew in class when she wasn’t doing her work.

She drew in the movie theatre if the movie didn’t capture her imagination, or if it did. She carried a sketch pad wherever she went. She drew in the hospital when she was so overcome with depression that she felt like she wanted to die.

Still, it was the fifth session, and nothing seemed to be happening. Sara liked this therapist well enough, but she just didn’t think all of this talking was going to help.

Sara wasn’t rude or defiant ; she just didn’t know why things felt so bad or why she was failing high school.

What her In Home Therapist said sounded reasonable, but Sara just couldn’t connect with any of it. And today’s session was going really badly. Usually Sara could respond with a drawing to any topic. Today her hands were as stuck as her words.

“I dunno; I guess so,” she replied when her therapist asked her if she’d be willing to try something new.

“I’ve been watching your hands as you play with your markers. Let’s try this. Don’t look at the paper. What if your marker could draw in the air? What if it could make music as you moved it and no one could hear it but you? Can you take a minute and ask your hands if they have an Air Song picture they need to draw>?”

“Sure,” said Sara uncertainly.

After a long pause, Sara lifted two hands together, her right hand atop the left. She moved them in a slow, deliberate wave up and away from her. She repeated this motion so tenderly that her therapist caught her breath and didn’t exhale until Sara lay both hands down softly.

“Like that?” asked Sara nervously.

“I saw this,” said her therapist, who repeated the gesture with her own gentleness. “I wanted to do it with you the moment you did it. How about you draw that?

Here—lie your hands down and I will draw around them—an outline of your hands like that—and then you can draw within the outline of your own hands.”

Sara and her In Home Therapist met again the following week as planned.

“Did you notice the Air Song picture that you brought home any time this week?” her therapist asked.

“I dunno; I guess so….I kept looking at it and remembering that feeling. And the music of it. Every time I wanted to cut. Did I tell you I was cutting? Every time those feelings came over me, like I just had to cut, I went over to my picture and looked at it. And I didn’t need to cut. Was that right?”

Sara had never spoken about her self-cutting, the way she cut her arms to manage her feelings “It sounds like it was just right for you.”

“Can we do more today?”

“Yes,” said her Carson therapist. “Let’s fill the room with your Air Music Movement Drawings.”

Is spread of virus a worry?

By MIKE STOBBE AP Medical Writer NEW YORK (AP) — A respiratory virus that has sickened hundreds in the Middle East has spread for the first time from one person to another in the United States. The case has raised questions about how much contact is needed to transmit the germ.

Middle East respiratory syndrome, or MERS, has mostly spread before to health care workers or family members caring for a sick patient. The two men in the U.S. were together only in two business meetings.

But health officials say they don’t find it alarming and that the risk of MERS to the general public remains low.

Q: How many people have gotten sick in the U.S.?

A: Two cases of MERS have been confirmed in travelers who came to the United States from Saudi Arabia, which has been at the center of the outbreak. The first was an American doctor, in his 60s, who lives and works in the capital Riyadh. Within days of arriving in Munster, Indiana, he was diagnosed with MERS and hospitalized.

Officials have been testing anyone he was in close contact with after his arrival in late April.

Q: Did he spread MERS to anyone?

A: Yes, to a business associate, who didn’t come down with MERS. The Illinois man probably picked up the virus during a 40-minute meeting the day after the doctor arrived; they met again the next day. He briefly had cold-like symptoms but that could have been from a cold or allergy. So far, health officials say tests have been negative for six family members and 53 health care workers.

A: If the Illinois man was infected, why didn’t he get sick?

Q: Not everyone who gets the virus gets sick. An early test didn’t detect the germ but a later blood test showed he had developed antibodies to fight an infection at some point. The man was reported to be feeling well, the Centers for Disease Control and

How Did This HouseHelp Seniors?

This undated file electron microscope image made available by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases - Rocky Mountain Laboratories shows novel coronavirus particles, also known as the MERS virus, colorized in yellow. Four more people have died in Saudi Arabia after contracting an often fatal Middle East respiratory virus as the number of new confirmed infections in the kingdom climbs higher, according to health officials. The Saudi health ministry said in a statement posted online late Wednesday, May 8, 2014 that 18 new confirmed cases of the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome were reported in the capital Riyadh, the western cities of Jiddah, Mecca and Medina, and in the city of Najran, along the border with Yemen.(AP Photo/NIAID - RML, File) Prevention said. The doctor who spread the virus has fully recovered. It’s not known how he was infected but he worked in a hospital that treated MERS. Q: How infectious is it?

A: It is not considered highly infectious. MERS does not spread as easily as the flu or some other diseases.

Officials aren’t sure how it is transmitted, but it is thought to be spread through sneezing and coughing. While the U.S. encounter may seem too casual, investigators say the Indiana doctor was feverish and not feeling well during the 40-minute meeting, in which they sat about 6 feet apart. “It doesn’t change our interpretation of who can get MERS from other people,” said the CDC’s Dr. David Swerdlow.

Q: Where did the MERS virus come from?

A: Some scientists think the virus that causes MERS first spread to humans from camels, but research is

ongoing to confirm its origins. The virus causes a respiratory illness that begins with flu-like fever and cough but can lead to shortness of breath, pneumonia and death. Since MERS first appeared two years ago, about 600 illnesses have been reported, including more than 170 deaths, most in Saudi Arabia.

Q: What about the second traveler sick with MERS? A: The 44-year-old resident of Saudi Arabia has been discharged from an Orlando hospital, Florida officials said Monday. The man — also a doctor — fell ill while visiting Florida. All health care workers and family members with whom he had contact so far have tested negative.

Preventive Care Continued from Page 4 be downloadable in June for Android.

“We need to help [consumers] see the value of what they have just purchased because if we don’t, we’re going to lose them when we come to the next enrollment period,” Cara James, director of the CMS Office of Minority Health, said at the Kaiser event.

But part of the problem of ensuring even coverage of those benefits is that the regulations don’t always spell out exactly what is required.

“There are a number of preventive services where the insurers are not quite sure what they’re supposed to cover,” said Tim Jost, a law professor at Washington and Lee University and an expert on the Affordable Care Act. Take the smoking-cessation benefit, for instance. Does it include prescription drugs like Chantix? And what about counseling, and how much?

The federal regulations weren’t clear, and only this month did CMS spell out exactly what’s required for a health plan to be in compliance. Two attempts to quit per year, the agency decreed — each including at least four counseling sessions of 10 minutes or more and a 90-day supply of any FDAapproved smoking cessation medication.

Screening colonoscopies are another ACA-specified service that needed clarification. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ruled that if a polyp is discovered during the procedure, then its removal should be covered without any cost-sharing.

One problem still cropping up, however, is how a colonoscopy is treated in the years after a polyp is found and removed,

said Luisana, the North Carolina insurance broker. If a person is otherwise cancer free, is it considered a routine screening or a diagnostic procedure for which the consumer will have to pay?

“The difference is a person paying $1,300 to $1,700 or nothing, and how [doctors and insurers] handle it is all over the board,” Luisana said.

The agency continues to face other, more difficult what-if issues.

When someone goes to the doctor for a routine checkup — that so-called well visit, because the person isn’t sick at the time — a battery of screenings and lab tests reflective of age, gender and medical history are covered.

But if the checkup leads to services outside the scope of the preventive care benefits — if a visit to the pediatrician results in an extended counseling session for adolescent depression, for instance, or a complaint about lower back pain during an annual physical leads to an MRI —

then the person will face either a co-pay or the full cost, depending on the insurance plan.

David Bromberg, a pediatrician in Frederick, Maryland, said doctors try to be explicit about any proposed treatment that is outside the scope of a preventive visit. One option is to schedule a follow-up appointment to address significant health problems that emerge from the visit.

“When you bring your car in for an oil change and say, ‘By the way, we need to do this and

this and this and this, too’ … tice has required, and probably well, that’s not really what we will still require, some more had you down for,” he said. [federal] guidance.”

“You’ll need to come back.”

In practice, the distinction between a preventive service and other medical care is not always so clear to consumers, and that can lead to surprise bills.

“How to tell somebody when you cross that bright line?” asked Susan Pisano, spokeswoman for America’s Health Insurance Plans. “Translating this benefit into medical prac-

Dowers tosses no-hitter

By Chris Putz Staff Writer HUNTINGTON – The Gateway Regional High School baseball team has provided a full season of highlight reel plays, and victories.

That film is still running.

Gateway senior pitcher Calvin Dowers tossed a complete game no-hitter as the Gators kept defeated visiting Sci-Tech 7-2 Tuesday

CALVIN DOWERS

to keep their league title hopes intact.

Dowers recorded nine strikeouts in a stellar outing. He walked four batters, and allowed two runs – one earned – on a fielder’s choice and wild pitch.

“Calvin really overpowered SciTech today with his fastball,” Gateway coach Gary St. Peter said. “He had control of his fast-

ball hitting the zone, which allowed him to throw his great curveball that he has to keep them off balance.”

Dowers was coming off an outing in which he and two other Gators threw a combined no-hitter.

He has not allowed a hit in 10 2-3 innings.

The offense, while not a juggernaut like in some previous efforts,

Maserelli, Rams share title

By Chris Putz Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – Southwick pitcher Nick Maserelli threw a one-hitter, and the Rams clinched at least a share of the Bi-County East League title. The Rams shut out Ware, 15-0 in 5 innings Monday.

Maserelli needed just five innings to record the mercy-ruling victory. He struck out seven batters.

Southwick’s Brian Sheil went 2-for-3 with 3 RBIs, Maserelli went 1-for-2 with two walks and two RBIs, Nick Labodycz had an RBI double, and several others had at least one hit apiece.

The Rams travel to Westfield to take on the Bombers Tuesday at Bullens Field at 4 p.m.

JV RESULTS BASEBALL Southwick-Tolland 6, Ware 3 SOUTHWICK – Travis Perillo pitched seven strong innings to earn a complete game victory as Southwick won a very good game at home Monday.

Perillo scattered five hits, three walks, and three runs. He struck out five batters.

The Rams defense was solid behind him.

Offensively, Nick Chambers (2 singles, RBI), Brian Mickalay (run-scoring double), Joey Stratton (hit), Chris Molta (hit), Tyler Orbin (hit), and Ryan Leclair (hit) provided the offense for Southwick (9-5-1).

Bombers all business

By Chris Putz Staff Writer WESTFIELD – It was business as usual for the twotime defending Western Massachusetts Division I high school baseball champions.

Westfield dispatched Agawam 7-4 Monday at Bullens Field. Colin Dunn went 2-for-4 to lead the Bombers, and Chris Sullivan, Chris Riga, Cody Neidig, and Ashton Kennedy each had a hit and an RBI. Westfield and Southwick will meet in a showdown Tuesday at Bullens Field at 4 p.m.

LATE RESULTS SATURDAY Westfield 4, Amherst 1 AMHERST – Kenny McLean delivered a solid effort on the mound, scattering five hits, and allowing three hits while striking out four in seven innings for Westfield.

Bombers’ Jake Toomey (4-for-4), Chris Sullivan (2-2, RBI), Brent Houle (hit, RBI), Cody Neidig (2-3, RBI), and Connor Sullivan (2-2, RBI) provided the offensive muscle.

was still quite effective.

Johnny Haskell went 2-for-4 with a home run (6th inning) – his second in two games – and two RBIs for Gateway. Gators’ Justin Edinger (hit, 2 runs, also reached base on an walk and error), Geoffrey Sobotka (double, 3 RBIs), and Curtis Dowers (2-for3, 2 RBIs) also gave the team a boost on offense.

Bombers escape with ‘W’

By Chris Putz Staff Writer WILBRHAHAM – Westfield escaped Wilbraham with a narrow 7-6 win over Minnechaug in high school boys’ lacrosse action Monday. The Bombers rallied from a 5-3 halftime deficit.

Rashaun Rivers led Westfield with two goals and one assist, Sam Scarfo and Anthony Sullivan had one goal and one assist apiece, and Matt Chlastawa, Luke Chlastawa, and Zach Kuzon each contributed one goal.

Jake Cupak was solid in goal, collecting 12 saves for Westfield.

The Bombers’ defense, led by Garrett Matthews, Noah Swords, Corey Ward, Mitch Weiss, Kane Miller, Sam Evans, Kevin Chambers, and Jordan Bein, made several key plays.

Westfield’s Craig Ward won a vast majority of face offs.

Rams rout Sabis

By Chris Putz Staff Writer SPRINGFIELD – Southwick softball pounded Sabis, plating 23 runs to improve to 12-5 overall, 7-2 league. The Rams steamrolled, 23-8, over the host team Monday.

Sidney Rogers (2-for-2, 4 runs, 3 RBIs), Sam Burzynski (3-5, triple, 2 runs, 2 RBIs), Jen Yellin (3 runs, 4 walks, hit), and Oliviah Diamond (2-3, 3 RBIs) were the offensive leaders.

Diamond also picked up the win on the mound, striking out five.

In Junior Varsity action, Southwick trounced Sabis, 17-1.

Annie’s Mailbox

By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

Should I? Dear Annie: Six years ago, I gave up my job to take care of my mother, while my siblings went off and had fun. After Mom passed, I still had the house to clean and laundry to do. I never asked for a dime. But as my own health has declined, everyone continues to treat me like a servant.

My father and brother both say demeaning things to me. My sister-in-law is a know-it-all and makes it clear that she thinks I’m an idiot. My son-in-law makes me the butt of his jokes.

They all behave as if I am nothing.

I am 60 years old and tired of this. All I can think of is getting away from every single one of them. Should I? -- J. Dear J.: Is there a reason you must continue living in your mother’s house? Your relatives treat you like a servant because you permit it. It’s OK to say no to them. If you can find any kind of job that pays a salary, even part time, we highly recommend you start putting money aside and make a life for yourself that you can enjoy. You don’t have to cut off contact with your family. You simply need them to see that you no longer will tolerate such poor treatment.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Omaha, Neb.,” whose wife is grossly overweight. He says he wants to grow old with her. You said, “What woman could resist that?” My wife of 28 years, that’s who. My wife says she doesn’t want to outlive me because she would be too devastated by the loss (unless the stress of watching her eat and drink herself to death gives me a heart attack). She has stated that she doesn’t really care about her weight, lack of exercise or eating habits, so if she dies, it’s all for the better.

She eats voraciously, binge-drinks until she nearly passes out, and doesn’t exercise beyond getting out of bed to sit in her recliner. She is out of breath after climbing five steps. It can take her several minutes to get into the car. She also smokes.

She has no strength or stamina, plus she has back, hip, leg and foot problems, and sleep apnea. She’s on multiple medications and lies to her doctor about what she eats and how little she moves around. She won’t see a counselor. And our sex life?

Fuhgeddaboudit.

If I say, “Let’s take a walk,” she says, “I’m too tired.” If I say, “You’re killing yourself,” her answer is, “I don’t care.” We own a treadmill and a stationary bike, both nice clothes hangers. I love my wife, but she’s difficult to be with. I hope she reads this. She sure isn’t paying attention to me. -- Given Up Hope Out East Dear Just: We aren’t buying your wife’s reasoning. We think she has given up on living a healthy life because the amount of work required is overwhelming and depressing. But she also is putting tremendous strain on you. You cannot fix this. She must want to do it for herself. So make sure she has a legal will and that her funeral wishes are written down for you. Then let her do what she wants. You need to live the best life you can while she lets hers slowly fade away.

Dear Annie: “Sleepless” seems very concerned about absolving his co-worker of the wrongdoing of having accepted his money for sex several years ago. But his actions were equally as immoral and embarrassing. For some reason, this long-ago encounter was memorable for him, but I doubt it meant much to her. She probably doesn’t remember him. She certainly isn’t carrying around a letter to him. This woman has moved on. I don’t believe he intends to make her feel better. I think he wants to humiliate her to soothe his own guilt. -- Ohio Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.

HINTS FROM HELOISE GRASS STAINS Dear Heloise: With the warmer weather, kids are playing outside more, and with that comes grass stains on their clothes. Do you have any hints on how to get these stains out? -- Paula C. in Louisiana I do have a hint on how to get these stubborn stains out! Take a liquid laundry detergent or a prewash spray and rub it into the stain.

Wash the garment in the hottest water that is safe for that particular fabric, and use an enzyme detergent. You may need to repeat the process before putting it in the dryer, so always check to make sure the stain is fully removed. I have put together a pamphlet with all of my solutions for hard-to-remove stains. To receive a copy, send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Stain Guide, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Have a mud stain? Let dry first. Then brush off as much as you can, treat with prewash spray or liquid laundry detergent and wash as usual. -- Heloise

YOUR HOROSCOPE Contract Bridge

By Jaqueline Bigar

DOG EAT DOUG

Brian Anderson

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, May 20, 2014: This year you will start enjoying all the excitement that surrounds you. At first, you might be exhausted by the unexpected changes. You will get used to this high frequency in your life, and it will energize you. If you are single, with so much going on, you inevitability will meet several potential suitors. Don’t commit too quickly. If you are attached, be willing to verbalize what you desire, and remain equally as sensitive to your sweetie. Look at what is behind a short fuse and consider the trigger, especially if it is a repeating issue. Schedule a special trip together that the two of you have been discussing for a long time.

AQUARIUS can be provocative.

ON a CLAIRE DAY Carla Ventresca and Henry Beckett

ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH An offer might seem too good to be true, so check it out. You could find an associate to be difficult and possibly touchy as well. Right now, certain associates might feel as if they can’t say “no” to you, even if they want to. Be as direct as possible. Tonight: Hang with your pals.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Take charge of a situation, especially if someone involved is being somewhat hostile. Check out an invitation carefully before expressing your decision. Do not share a certain emotional choice yet. A conversation could be enlightening. Tonight: Be careful with your spending.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You’ll be unusually verbal, and therefore capable of seeing the big picture. Curb a tendency to allow situations to get out of control, especially those that demand your self-discipline. A friend might have strong feelings about you. Tonight: Tap into your imagination.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Deal with others on a oneon-one level. You might want to understand more before making any decisions. A boss or an older person could express him- or herself easily. This person could be full of praise for you.

Tonight: Why not initiate a close encounter?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Others won’t hesitate to challenge you. Your sense of humor will emerge. You could feel as if you can’t approach a loved one. This person’s importance to you can’t be denied. Your creativity will emerge when facing a hassle. Tonight: Go along with someone else’s choice.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Dive into work, and get past a problem that keeps reappearing. You have enough energy to make a boss more than content with your participation. Verbalize more of what you want with an expectation that your desires will be fulfilled. Tonight: Get some exercise.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might be overwhelmed by an offer from someone you look up to. Don’t worry about your finances today. A loved one will go out of his or her way to let you know how much he or she cares. News filters in from a distance that forces a lot of thought.

Tonight: Go for offbeat.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You could be in a position of making a change on the homefront.

You’ll see a personal matter a lot differently because of a problem that arises.

Family plays a significant role in what occurs. A co-worker could care about you more than you are aware. Tonight: Order in.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Make the most of some extra time and catch up on calls. A partner or loved one will go overboard for you.

Remain upbeat with a new, flirty friend.

Listen to this person’s news; you will discover that you have reason to celebrate. Tonight: At a favorite spot.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH You might want to change directions, especially when the issue is financial. Understand where a loved one is coming from. This person might be moody right now, but keep in mind that he or she usually is more upbeat than down. Tonight: Make it your treat.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Your gentle manner will open up doors and allow a lot more giveand-take. Your smile and relaxed style

Cryptoquip

Crosswords

will draw others to you. Be willing to listen and brainstorm with a contemporary who needs you to play devil’s advocate.

Tonight: Let the good times happen.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You’ll need to say less and remain more anchored than you have in the recent past. Your impulsive ways emerge, no matter how much you hold yourself back or try to restrain yourself. Reach out to someone you respect, and ask for this person’s advice. Tonight: Not to be found.
