Hundreds gather to honor hero By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer LONGMEADOW – Hundreds gathered on the Town Green Saturday evening to pay their respects to a man who is a hero, a husband, a father, a friend and an Air Force legend. Longmeadow resident Lt. Col. Morris “Moose” Fontenot, Jr. died in an accident last Wednesday morning when the F-15 fighter jet he was flying crashed in Virginia. A member of the 104th Fighter Wing, Fontenot was a career military pilot. His death was confirmed Thursday and over the course of the next two days, the community came together to remember one of their own. Fontenot’s wife Kara and teenage daughters Nicole and Natalie attended the gathering that celebrated his life. “I am overwhelmed by how many
people are here on such short notice,” said Kara. “My husband died doing what he loved – serving his country, flying F-15s, and being part of a band of brothers.” She shared with the group of people that her 40th birthday was that day, and she decided to try to celebrate with her daughters by spending time together. They left their house in the morning and when they returned at 1 p.m. they were surprised to see that members of the 104th had completely re-landscaped their yard, carrying out plans Fontenot had made for his wife. “He mentioned that he wanted to plant 40 rose bushes for my 40th birthday,” she said. “And those men planted 40 rose bushes.” The Fontenots have not lived in town long, but Kara said that when she saw all the people gathered to honor her
husband and support her family, she knew Longmeadow was the right place to call home. “We’ve moved our girls five times since they were born,” she said. “We left active duty Air Force for the Massachusetts Air National Guard so we could settle down in one place for high school.” Daughter Nicole is starting Longmeadow High School this year as a freshman and Natalie is a sophomore. Lt. Col. Alexander Haldopoulos, Commander of the 104th Operations Group at Barnes Air National Guard Base and a Longmeadow resident, told the group that Fontenot had only recently joined the guard. In fact, Fontenot was known in the United States Air Force and beyond for See Hero Honored, Page 3

Smooth opening day for Gateway HUNTINGTON – “In all honesty, this was probably the smoothest opening in my five years with the district,” reported K-6 Principal Megan Coburn. “All three buildings had a very smooth opening day.” Coburn added that the teachers in her three buildings— Chester Elementary School, Littleville Elementary School and Gateway Regional Middle School—had worked really hard to make their classrooms exciting learning environments for students. “Students were very excited to meet their new teachers and see their friends,” Coburn reported. Her sentiments were echoed by Jr./Sr. High School Principal Jason Finnie. “The positive energy and excitement about our new schedule was palpable in the cafeteria as students picked up their schedules this morning.” Gateway moved from a 5-block to a 7-block schedule this year, which is easing some of the difficulty students had in scheduling their classes. Finnie added that the Guidance staff is working hard with students to tweak their schedules based on their college and career aspirations, and reminds students that there is a two-week add/drop period. The high school’s Program of Studies is posted on the website to assist with this process. JR./Sr. High School Assistant Principal Anthony Sabonis added that school openings ran smoothly, although students were understandably sad that their summers were over.
Health care spending in Massachusetts on the rise BOSTON (AP) — A new report says health care spending in Massachusetts continues to grow faster than the rate of inflation. The report is scheduled to be released Tuesday by the Center for Health Information and Analysis, created under state law in 2012 to monitor health care spending. The report says overall spending grew 2.3 percent last year. That is below the cost growth benchmark of 3.6 percent set by the state, but higher than the inflation rate, which was 1.5 percent. The report says higher spending was driven by the state’s largest health insurer, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts; and the biggest provider, Partners HealthCare. Both called the state’s calculations inaccurate. More than $50 billion was spent on health care, an average of $7,550 per person. Sixty percent went to taxpayer-funded care.
By Peter Francis Staff Writer WORTHINGTON – During Wednesday night’s meeting in Worthington, the Gateway Towns Advisory Committee (GTAC) sought to bring its interests to the attention of the school committee and to try to influence it to work with GTAC on the upcoming reorganization needs conference being set up by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). “So far, the school committee has been relatively inactive in the process,” said GTAC member Derrick Mason Friday. “We’re trying to help them understand that the needs conference is going to be very critical to the future of the school district.” Mason said GTAC wants to help them get this process underway and completed as soon as possible. “I’m hoping we can attend all of the (needs conference) meetings in some form of an official capacity, and to keep them up to date about whats happening at the GTAC level and any activities we’re undertaking,” he said. “We want to make sure that we know what they’re doing (school committee) as much as possible.” Mason added that the organizations have been “stovepiping” quite a bit up until now, and feels that the two organizations have to work cohesively going forward. “One of GTAC’s main purposes is to help ensure that what happens during the withdrawal (of the town of Worthington from the school district) is ultimately beneficial to the district and least detrimental,” he said. Montgomery Selectman Dan Jacques, who has worked has a liasion of sorts for GTAC, wrote a letter to the committee outlining what the mandates are from DESE in the reorganization process, and what different considerations they need to take into account. GTAC is urging Gateway Superintendent Dr. David Hopson to write a letter to the DESE requesting they complete the reorganization conference prior to making a decision on whether to allow Worthington to leave the district.

HOOT Day becoming a town-gown tradition WESTFIELD – Westfield State University kicked off the school year by presenting its fifth annual Helping Out Our Town (HOOT) Day today. More than 150 students (mainly first year) were expected to participate. Students will be actively working throughout Westfield at local businesses painting, cleaning, gardening, and other volunteer activities this morning. HOOT Day began in fall 2010 as a Circle K community service program. The program was designed to bring together Westfield State students and the City of Westfield as well as provided students with a way to learn about their new home
for the next four years. The opportunity to participate was offered to freshmen/first year students during their orientation in the summer. Multiple offices were instrumental in getting this program underway including: Westfield State’s offices of Residential Life and Advancement & University Relations, the City of Westfield Mayor’s Office, the Westfield Chamber of Commerce, the Westfield School Department, the Greater Westfield NonProfits Organization, and the Westfield BID. “HOOT Day is a great opportunity for See HOOT Day, Page 3

Police: Utah suspect swallows stolen ring OREM, Utah (AP) — Two people were arrested on suspicion of felony theft after police said one of them swallowed a stolen ring in an attempt to hide it. Police say an X-ray clearly showed the ring inside the stomach of 25-year-old Christina Schlegel. Investigators say 29-year-old Bryan Ford had been examining a ring worth several thousand dollars at a Zales jewelry store on Friday night in Orem, about 45 miles south of Salt Lake City, when he allegedly left with it. Police say he was chased by an employee as he got into a car driven away by Schlegel. Officers stopped the car and arrested both suspects a short time later. Police say they were baffled as to the ring’s whereabouts until the X-ray of Schlegel’s stomach was taken.

Government Meetings
Students explore cultural mosaic WESTFIELD – Six Westfield State University students traveled with students from five other colleges to Istanbul, Turkey and London, England earlier this summer as part of the short-term study abroad course “Making History: Memory, Monuments, Museums, and Multiculturalism” led by Dr. Mara Dodge, professor of history. Dodge created the course with Professor Valerie Haskins, an archeologist from SUNY Adirondack, with the goal of exposing students to the cultural diversity of two very different European countries. “We wanted to expand students’ cultural horizons by introducing them to a multicultural ‘Europe’ broadly defined,” Dodge said. “Both London and Istanbul are beautiful, vibrant cities; both are incredibly rich in history and rich in cultural diversity.” Student Victoria Landry ’15 of Milford said she was drawn to the course because of the travel to Istanbul, a city not often included in these types of courses. “I have always seen the short-term courses and have been waiting for the perfect one to go on,” Landry said. “After taking some classes on foreign policy, I have become more interested in Middle Eastern

Dodge expected that students would steer clear of museums during their leisure time, but was pleasantly surprised. “I was thrilled that so many students went back to visit museums, especially the British Museum, on their ‘free day’ in London,” Dodge said. Visiting Turkey, the group toured Istanbul including stops at the Blue Mosque, the Hippodrome, Galata Tower, Museum of Islamic Art, and Rumeli Fortress. Students were happy to dis-
cover how hospitable the locals were in Istanbul. “I was very surprised at how many people spoke English in Istanbul and how easy it was to get around,” said Westfield State history major Chelsea Rivera of Chicopee. “Mostly everyone we met was friendly and willing to help us out.” In an unplanned walk through the campus and green of Istanbul University, Landry said she was reminded of her own school despite being thousands of miles away. “It seemed as if their classes or finals had just finished and there were so many students sitting outside and playing volleyball or soccer – it reminded me of the campus green at home at Westfield,” Landry said. Professor Dodge said that
most students enjoyed exploring the cultural aspects of Islam. “Overall in Turkey students often said that it was a unique cultural experience to visit so many mosques and learn about Islam firsthand,” Dodge said. “The mosques were also extraordinarily beautiful – decorated with exquisite tiles, stained glass, and artwork.” While students enjoyed learning about the different cultures while abroad, the course inspired some students to continue exploring them. “I was inspired by the peacefulness of Islam and the interesting mix of Asian and European culture in the center of Istanbul,” Landry said. “This course inspired me to learn more and I will hopefully be taking an Intro to Islamic Studies course this fall.”

his skills as a pilot. “When we heard he was joining the Air Guard it was like LeBron going to the Cavaliers ,” Haldopoulos joked. Fontenot was an active duty airman for 17 years and with three years to go until retirement, he decided to switch gears and join the 104th. “He became a Barnestormer,” he said. “He was a fighter pilot’s fighter pilot. He was a relationship builder.” Haldopoulos said the most difficult thing he has had to do in his life was pull into the Fontenot driveway last Thursday afternoon to tell Kara the news that her husband would not be returning home. Haldopoulos said he could not believe the strength she showed for her children at that moment. “She is an amazing woman and her daughters are just like her,” he said .”We are lucky to have them in Longmeadow and the men and women of the 104th Fighter Wing will care for Kara and her girls – you can count on that.” Fontenot will be laid to rest next month at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado.
Continued from Page 1 Jacques’ letter also suggested contacting the Massachusetts Office of Public Collaboration (MOPC), who he said has experience in “facilitating regional school system initiatives, including facilitation of inter-municipal planning and problem-solving around school districts issues and regionalization options.” “The Committee is in the unique and solitary position to drive this process, and I encourage them to do so before it is too late,” Jacques said in his letter to the committee, adding that the district’s legislators should continue to be contacted and included in the process. “We’re just trying to make sure this is handled effectively,” said Mason. “We feel a thorough review of the communities needs need to be figured out before or at least in tandem with educational needs going forward.” GRSD Business and Finance Officer Stefanie Fisk said Friday that the committee voted in favor of asking for Dr. Hopson to draft a letter to be run by the school committee before being sent to the legislators representing the seven GRSD towns in Boston. “We’re drafting the letter now and everyone on the committee is having a chance to look at it before it goes to the legislators,” said Michele Crane, Gateway School Committee chair. “Just clarifying effective dates, such as the needs conference, since it’s written vaguely in the legislation – it’s just a matter of clarifying so we can carry out the steps effectively.” Crane said she is uncertain what the response from the district’s legislators will be to the letter. “I hope they will accept our offer to meet with them. We did ask in the letter that they do come to a meeting so we can talk about these issues face to face,” she said. “It is hard to conceptualize some of these issues when you’re not talking face to face.” Crane said the committee hopes it can get some financial information from legislators about how it will be able to manage this year with the loss of Worthington. Regarding Mason’s proposal to increasing cooperation between GTAC and the School Committee, Crane said she appreciated his offer. “I appreciate his inviting us to the next meeting and he did give us the date and time. We didn’t really have much of a response,” she said. “My response would be that the committee has the power in this situation. We’re the body that meets and can decide what to do, while GTAC is kind of like a community advisory committee.” “We’re the group that can actually vote, and has the power to make decisions,” Crane added. “When you volunteer for a group like this, there’s only so many meetings you can attend, but there’s usually at least one (school committee) member in attendance at their meetings, whether it’s Stefanie (Fisk) or Dr. Hopson.”

The station is also available to stream on the Tune In Radio App. To commemorate the 170th anniversary of Westfield State University’s move to the City of Westfield, Mayor Daniel Knapik will present Westfield State University President Elizabeth Preston with a proclamation in a ceremony beginning at 8:15 a.m. “As Westfield State marks its 170th anniversary in the city of Westfield, we are pleased to recommit our students to the notion of service as they work to make Westfield a better place on HOOT Day 2014,” said Hon. Michael R. Knapik, executive director for University Advancement. “With the advent of Community Radio (WSKB 89.5 FM), the partnership with the university and the city has reached a new level. Communication and information are necessary ingredients for an engaged citizenry and we welcome this powerful means of serving town/ gown relations.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR To the Editor Announcing the establishment of the: Independent Centrist Voters Network Inc. (ICVN). 51-53 % of Massachusetts voters being unenrolled, Independent Voters, there is a need to associate/communicate with one another so our interests and issues are represented. I have formally established this organization with the Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth. There are a variety of reasons why voters have chosen to be unenrolled, it is clear by polling that there is a loss of confidence in the established political parties to represent the interests of the electorate. The President and Supreme Court have lost their majority, and Congress is in single digits, and a majority of Americans indicate the nation is moving in the wrong direction due to their mismanagement and misbehaviors. The ICVN is not intended to be a political party, but instead a means by which voters can associate, and confer, and to be a ways and means for a non-partisan solutions and reconciliations and through the use of social media this can be done with only a few hours a month to share our ideas, devise solutions and present them to those we have hired to represent us. And, the ICVN is created to generate voter public changes in public policies so as to right the direction of our State and nation. The negativity must stop, along with undermining confidence and credibility in our Principles, that destabilize America, and with the image of internal irreconcilable conflicts emboldens our enemies. To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin; off our shore are those who wait for us to fail. I will soon provide a statement of general principles which many can support, and l, issues upon which we can agree. As a retiree I now have the time to use my experiences and networks to do something to help make things better. I may not be able to change the world, but I can help the part of it where I live, and with the help of others to have an even greater positive impact. Many in this area already know me; so let us begin here to right the direction that our government is going; after all we are responsible, accountable and liable. Any who want to help can contact me: brhoose@comcast.net My credentials: 60’s: at age 13, the son of a single mom who worked the factories of South Holyoke, I began to work on election campaigns starting with Ted Kennedy’s first; became involved in Civil Rights (AIM and NCCJ), and went to youth leadership trainings, and involved in community service projects. 70’s: after the U.S Army where I was able to bring together racially conflicted groups, I went to HCC where I organized a successful veterans association, did state wide organizing to increase Viet Vet benefits, became a member of their State Board of Trustees and again successfully organized state wide to reduce budget cuts, and stop a detrimental plan to reorganize PHE. Developed a student orientation process adapted at 2 Community Colleges. 80’s HCC to study Developmental Disabilities and Human Behavior, did hitching across parts of America, and hung out with Bikers. 90’s Chaired Chicopee Democratic City Committee, member of Democratic State Committee (20 years), Neighborhood Facilitator for the Community Partnership for a Drug Free Chicopee, chair Chicopee Zoning Board of Appeals, worked political campaigns and was a driver for a Pres. Clinton motorcade. 2,000’s Chaired Westfield Democratic City Committee, member of Off Street Parking Commission, ran unsuccessfully for State Rep, but received 6,000 votes.

By David Nather Politico.com The script usually goes like this: Shocking incident happens. Political leaders and advocates all promise changes so it doesn’t happen again. The public’s attention moves on. Nothing happens. This time, though, there’s hope that Ferguson will be different. Lawmakers and advocates who have been pushing for responses to the police shooting death of Michael Brown, and the widely condemned police response to the demonstrations that followed, say there’s a good chance that it actually will lead to some policy changes to make more Fergusons less likely. Maybe not as sweeping as some of them would like, and there are definite obstacles for some of the most commonly proposed responses, like body cameras for all police officers. But there are a few reforms that could come out of the Ferguson crisis — most likely to the transfers of military gear to police departments, and in the most optimistic scenario, a communitywide reform agreement similar to one reached years ago in Cincinnati. And Ferguson Mayor James Knowles announced at a forum Thursday night that the city’s police officers are already preparing to start using vest cameras, even if that doesn’t happen nationwide. If there are any changes at all, that would be more than what took place after other shocking incidents that were supposed to transform the nation’s policies. Remember the sweeping changes in gun laws and mental health treatment that followed the mass shooting of innocent schoolchildren in Newtown, Connecticut? Of course you don’t — because they never happened. Maybe the non-response to Newtown sets a low bar — but there’s more hope that the tragic events in Ferguson will have a different ending. “I am absolutely convinced that major changes are on the way for Ferguson,” said Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.), who has talked to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel about the military weapon transfers and to ministers in Ferguson about strategies for negotiating local reforms. Rev. Willis Johnson, pastor of Wellspring Church in Ferguson, which hosted the community forum on the crisis Thursday night, said he came away from the discussion “optimistic and expectant of change and adaptation to take place in the community. … I saw signs that we have started a good effort to talk.” And Sherrilyn Ifill, president and director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, called the Ferguson crisis “a moment that’s more than a moment,” because “it isn’t as if there’s just one incident” of police using lethal force against unarmed African-Americans. She cited the choking death of Eric Garner in New York in July — which the medical examiner ruled a homicide — and the shooting death of Ezell Ford, a mentally ill Los Angeles man, by police earlier this month. “This is an ongoing problem that people have been living with, and it’s not going back in a box,” she said. There are definite limits to any responses that actually happen, of course. And some experts are cynical about the chances that anything will really change on the most critical issues, like how well police officers are trained on when to use deadly force — and when not to use it. But there’s a critical difference between Ferguson and Newtown: Any responses to Newtown would have had to come from Congress, and Congress was in no mood to rewrite the gun control laws. With Ferguson, not all of the possible changes would have to go through Congress. The Obama administration might be able to make some minor changes in the military gear program on its own. And a Cincinnati-style police reform agreement would need federal supervision, but not Congress. National Urban League President Marc Morial said he was optimistic, but his take on the prospects for change sounded more like a warning than a prediction: “If we don’t, then we’re tone-deaf.” The most likely response to Ferguson could be a change in the Defense Department program that provides excess military gear to police departments around the country — the equipment that made the Ferguson police look like they were preparing for war with the demonstrators. The images of armored trucks and combat fatigues, with Ferguson cops pointing assault weapons at crowds of protesters, quickly turned the “militarization of the police” into a new issue for Washington. Cleaver says he told Hagel in a meeting about the events, “I didn’t know whether I was in Ferguson or Fallujah.” The White House has announced a wide-scale review of the program, and Congress is responding as well: Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin (D-Mich.) has said lawmakers will take a new look at the use of the military equipment in the next defense authorization bill, and Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) will hold a hearing on the issue on Sept. 9. That doesn’t necessarily mean the program is going to end, administration officials say, but it could mean there will be new restrictions added on the use of the equipment — like stricter training standards so police don’t roll out the armored trucks every time there’s a protest. The likelihood of action depends on what the Obama administration’s review finds, and it’s not officially underway yet — the administration is still identifying the specific experts at the agencies who will be part of the review. If the conclusion is that the program needs only a makeover, like tougher training requirements, the Defense Department could simply initiate that on its own, according to a White House official. If the administration decides the whole program needs to be scrapped, though, that would be a heavier lift. Congress would have to pass legislation to eliminate it, and even if the Senate did so, it’s not at all clear that the House would go along. In a statement ear-
lier this month, House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon said there was “certainly room for oversight” of the program but concluded that “the troubling events in Ferguson appear to be rooted in broader public concerns than a fairly small DOD program intended to save taxpayer dollars.” Still, Cleaver says Hagel was so receptive to his concerns that some changes are likely to happen. “I’d be very surprised if, between President Obama and Secretary Hagel, we do not see some dramatic changes in how that program is going to work,” Cleaver said. Another widely proposed reform, requiring police officers to wear video cameras, may be about to become a reality in Ferguson. Johnson noted that at the community forum Thursday night, Knowles told the audience that the Ferguson police are already training to use body cameras, although there aren’t enough yet for every officer to have one. But that idea appears less likely to take off nationwide — mainly because the cost would get in the way. The idea has plenty of supporters. They argue that the video cameras — which can be attached to officers’ glasses or worn elsewhere on their bodies — would provide a valuable record of any confrontations and help eliminate conflicts between the officer’s story and witness accounts. “Everyone would feel much better about these kinds of incidents if we had them,” said American University’s William Yeomans, a former civil rights official in the Justice Department. The main objection that’s usually raised, Yeomans said, is the cost. A good body camera can cost $400, and a video camera that’s mounted on officers’ glasses, Google Glass-style, can run nearly $600. A St. Louis television station reports that Ferguson is getting a lot of help — a private company is donating 50 video cameras to the police force. Still, Morial says the money shouldn’t be a reason for police departments not to use the cameras more widely. “Instead of funding riot gear and tanks, we should fund body cameras and dashboard cameras,” he said. “Money is a weak excuse.” There’s also going to be more pressure to improve training for police officers. In a letter to the Justice Department, Ifill proposed requiring police departments to train officers to avoid racial bias as one of the conditions for receiving federal law enforcement grants. Experts who help train police officers, however, are skeptical that police departments will ever put a high enough priority on training — especially in the proper use of firearms, one of the most important skills they need to learn. “It’s equally important to know when not to shoot as to know when to shoot,” said Scott Reitz, a firearms instructor and a former member of the Los Angeles Police Department SWAT team. “If your thought process when you’re involved in a shooting is, ‘I hope I’m doing the right thing,’ you’re in trouble. That is diametrically opposed to, ‘I know I’m doing the right thing.’” Reitz says it’s too soon to know what really happened with the Ferguson shooting, but he’s not optimistic that more police departments will spend more money to improve officers’ training — unless they get sued over a police shooting. “What’s going to force change? I don’t know. Probably the pocketbook more than anything else,” he said. To solve the immediate problems in Ferguson, there’s some hope that the city could learn from the example of Cincinnati — which reacted to its own series of police shootings in 2001, and the riots that followed, by establishing a unique agreement between the police department and community leaders that required changes from all sides to put the turmoil behind them. The Cincinnati Collaborative Agreement requires the police department to shift to “problem-oriented policing,” which focuses on solving the underlying causes of crime in the communities, and committed the city to “bias-free policing,” with a citizen complaint board to investigate problems with officers. It’s enforced by a federal judge and a monitor. Some of the community leaders who negotiated the agreement have been promoting it as a model for Ferguson and talking to advocates and community members there. Relations between the Cincinnati police and the community weren’t much better at that time than they are in Ferguson now. The Rev. Damon Lynch, one of the Cincinnati negotiators, said the talks were “contentious” and “we always had the hammer of the federal judge and the feds.” Lynch said the agreement has mostly worked. “The police have probably stuck to it in practice better than the community side,” he said. “We’re not perfect, but we’re light years away from where we were.” That doesn’t mean the model would translate directly to Ferguson. Lynch says he thinks “the likelihood is pretty good that something like this will come out of it.” But Cleaver said that what worked in Cincinnati wouldn’t necessarily work in Ferguson, where “you have a small town of 21,000 that has not changed significantly since the 1960s.” And Johnson said that while the Cincinnati agreement has “some dimensions that could be explored,” the two cities are very different — Cincinnati is a much larger city with more African-Americans in the political leadership than Ferguson has. Ferguson will have to find a solution that’s appropriate for its own situation, he said. Still, Johnson said the Thursday night community forum was the first step that could lead to a broader dialogue between city leaders and the community about how to put Ferguson’s nationally known tensions behind them. “It was a conversation that obviously had tensions … [But] for the first time, we began to have a family conversation,” Johnson said. “It’s a beginning, and there’s a long road ahead. But there’s no reason to take a journey if you’re not expecting to get to your destination.”

UMass starts semester with giant clambake AMHERST, Mass. (AP) — The new school year at the University of Massachusetts has started with a record-setting feast. More than 3,000 traditional New England clambake dinners were served on the Amherst campus on Monday. Chefs prepared more than 3,000 lobsters, 6,000 little neck clams, 3,000 steamers, more than 6,000 ears of corn and 1,500 pounds of potatoes for students and staff. There was no previous record for largest New England clambake, but Guinness World Record officials had set a minimum bar at 1,500 meals in eight hours. UMass reached that mark in about an hour.
Officials warn about deer, moose WEST BOYLSTON, Mass. (AP) — The Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife is reminding drivers to be aware of increased deer and moose activity, especially during early morning and evening hours. Moose found in central and western Massachusetts breed in September and October. White-tailed deer breed from late October to early December. Wildlife officials are asking drivers to slow down when they see road signs for moose and deer crossings. Officials warn drivers not to swerve to avoid hitting a deer because it may lead to more risk and damage than hitting the deer. Moose are less likely to move from the road than deer, so drivers are advised to brake when they see a moose in or near the road. Their long legs and top-heavy bodies make moose very dangerous to motorists when struck.

Faces of U.S. eating habits improve a bit Carson
The Carson Center for Human Services Celebrating 50 Years of Real Help with Real Life 1963-2013 I’m going to Holyoke Community College online. For me, it’s better to go online because it’s more private, in a way. I can read the posts in my Psych course that show what students in my class really think about people like me. It’s not bad. It gives me a lot to think about. I think about how I was the same way as they are before I knew better-talking hard about people and circumstances I didn’t know much about. I did time because of the drugs. I got into the drugs when my prescription ran out. I had my prescription because of the pain in my back. The back injury was from my time in Desert Storm. I had some problems with my emotions, too, after I got back. There were some meds I was taking for that for a while, but I couldn’t afford the co-pays, so I stopped. I didn’t have money for a place, either. I was on the street. I bet you wouldn’t be surprised what college kids have to say about middle aged homeless people. The Carson Center has this program. They started by helping me find a therapist and a psychiatrist. They helped me with the medication and teaching me some ways to handle things. My Carson worker helped me get some benefits, and an apartment. I saved up for a car. With a car, there was a way to get to work—some side jobs. It was my Carson worker who suggested college. I told her all my reasons for not doing it: I couldn’t handle it, I told her. I’m not that kind of smart, I said. I was talking hard about myself and circumstances I didn’t know much about. So I’ve been adding some things to the class discussion online. I have been telling them about some of the challenges a veteran faces. About not wearing that “Hobo” costume for Halloween before thinking about how people get on the street. And that striped “jailbird” costume— how some people end up there and what it means. About what it really says about you when it’s so easy for you to say that people are “just crazy,” “nuts,” or “mental.” I don’t think I could have said these things in person, but I did a good job online. My professor wrote me to thank me for my “invaluable contribution to the class.” The more I figure this stuff out, the more I have to share with my support group at Carson. Those people, they’re my “invaluable”. By JAC Patrissi
By LINDSEY TANNER AP Medical Writer CHICAGO (AP) — Americans’ eating habits have improved — except among the poor, evidence of a widening wealth gap when it comes to diet. Yet even among wealthier adults, food choices remain far from ideal, a 12-year study found. On an index of healthy eating where a perfect score is 110, U.S. adults averaged just 40 points in 1999-2000, climbing steadily to 47 points in 2009-10, the study found. Scores for low-income adults were lower than the average and barely budged during the years studied. They averaged almost four points lower than those for high-income adults at the beginning; the difference increased to more than six points in 2009-10. Higher scores mean greater intake of heart-healthy foods including vegetables, fruits, whole grains and healthy fats, and a high score means a low risk of obesity and chronic illnesses including heart disease, strokes and diabetes. Low scores mean people face greater chances for developing those ailments. The widening rich-poor diet gap is disconcerting and “will have important public health implications,” said study co-author Dr. Frank Hu of the Harvard School of Public Health. Diet-linked chronic diseases such as diabetes have become more common in Americans in general, and especially in the poor, he noted. “Declining diet quality over time may actually widen the gap between the poor and the rich,” Hu said. Harvard School of Public Health researchers developed the healthy diet index used for the study. It is similar to federal dietary guidelines but features additional categories including red and processed meats, sugar-sweetened beverages and alcohol. The study authors used that index along with government estimates on trans fat intake to evaluate information in 1999-2010 national health surveys that included interviews with people about their eating habits. The results are published Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine. Hu said the widening diet gap reflects

Scott Applewhite, File) an income gap that deepened during the recent financial crisis, which likely made healthy food less affordable for many people. Hu also noted that inexpensive highly processed foods are often widely available in low-income neighborhoods. The overall diet improvement was largely due to decreased intake of foods containing trans fats but the disappointing results point to a need for policy changes including better nutrition education, Hu said. In recent years the government and manufacturers have moved to phase out use of artificial trans fats in foods including processed cookies, cakes, frozen pizza and margarines. Trans fats contribute to unhealthy cholesterol levels and can increase heart disease risks. These fats are made by adding hydrogen to vegetable oil to improve texture and shelf life. The study authors say their results are consistent with an earlier report showing that “nearly the entire U.S. population fell short of meeting federal dietary recommendations.” The federal guidelines are updated every five years and new ones will be issued next year. The current recommen-
dations emphasize limiting intake of trans fats, sodium, processed foods and added sugars. They don’t specify amounts but encourage diets high in whole grains, vegetables and fruits. The Harvard index has a similar emphasis with some specifics; to get a top score would include eating daily more than two cups of vegetables, at least four servings of fruit and at least one ounce of nuts. A JAMA Internal Medicine editorial says the Harvard diet index isn’t perfect because it puts equal emphasis on various foods that may not contribute equally to health. Still, the study highlights a “growing chasm” that is a public health concern, the editorial says. It suggests that government efforts to close the gap with programs including food stamps may be insufficient and that limiting government benefits to cover only healthful foods might be a better strategy. ——— Online: JAMA Internal Medicine: http://jamainternalmedicine.com Federal dietary guidelines: http://tinyurl.com/9yjgeoz

ulates around impurities, a protection mechanism scientists believe accounts for the exceptional endurance of the species, which have been around for hundreds of millions of years. Horseshoe crabs lack an immune system, and the ability to isolate impurities is vital for survival in bacteria-saturated environments, especially in the near-shore ocean habitat occupied during spawning season and as juveniles. During winter months, the crabs move out to deeper water, before returning again to spawn in May or June. According to the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, Delaware Bay supports “the largest horseshoe crab spawning population in the world,” and horseshoe crabs are harvested from South Carolina to Maine. Although once harvested as fertilizer, horseshoe crabs are harvested now primarily as bait for conch pots and for biomedical uses. In its horseshoe crab fishery management report, the commission estimates 611,800 crabs were captured in 2012 for biomedical purposes. That represents a 78 percent increase over
2004, the first year biomedical catches were recorded. Although their hard exterior shells resemble those of crabs, horseshoe crabs are more closely related to spiders and scorpions. Undulating legs on its underside shovel food into the mouth in the center of the legs. Their appearance unnerves some, as it did Wako employee Shirley Goffigon when she first went to work there. When Goffigon tells people “I bleed horseshoe crabs” for a living, she understands their stares of disbelief, both from the novelty of her work and the repugnance some feel for the animal. “I was afraid when I started,” she said, exhibiting no evidence of that former fear as she inspected, rinsed and racked the day’s crabs in the cooled intake room, preparing them for their involuntary blood donations. Crabs are then taken into the lab, where about one-third of a horseshoe crab’s blood is extracted in about 30 minutes. It generally takes the blood of two males to fill one specimen bottle, whereas females, which can be 25 percent larger than the males, can usually fill a bottle themselves. After the blood is taken, crabs are returned by the watermen suppliers to the coastal Maryland water from which they were taken under a biomedical permit. “The crabs are returned within 48 hours,” Lecker said. Donor crabs are marked with a small hole punch in the shell so they are recognizable to those in the intake room. If a marked crab shows up, it wins a temporary reprieve and is returned to the water without donation. But like real crabs, horseshoe crabs molt, and once in a new, unmarked shell, a crab can again be taken for donation. Blood volumes rebound within a few months. Estimates of mortality following blood extraction range from 8 to 15 percent.

LINDSEY TANNER, AP Medical Writer CHICAGO (AP) — Could action-packed TV fare make you fat? That’s the implication of a new study that found people snacked more watching fast-paced television than viewing a more leisurely paced talk show. THE SKINNY: Cornell University researchers randomly assigned almost 100 undergraduates to watch one of three 20-minute sessions featuring: “The Island,” a 2005 sci-fi thriller starring Scarlett Johansson and Ewan McGregor; that same movie but without the sound; or the “Charlie Rose” show, a public television interview program. The students were all provided generous amounts of cookies, M&M candies, carrots and grapes. During “The Island,” students ate on average about 7 ounces (207 grams) of various snack foods, and 354 calories. That was almost 140
calories more and nearly double the ounces they ate watching interviewer Charlie Rose. Watching the movie without sound, they also ate more — almost 100 calories more — compared with Charlie Rose. THE THEORY: The faster paced TV seemed to distract viewers more, contributing to mindlessness eating, said Cornell researcher Aner Tal, the study’s lead author. The results suggest that a steady diet of action TV could raise risks for packing on pounds. LIMITATIONS: The
study was small and didn’t last long enough to measure any long-term effects on the students’ weight. It’s also possible some viewers would find talk shows or other slower-paced TV more distracting and would be more apt to snack more during those shows than when watching action-packed programs. THE BOTTOM LINE: Tal suggests viewers take steps to prevent mindless snacking, by avoiding or limiting high-calorie snacks when watching TV.

Back to ‘Beat the Putz’
New coach, new attitude By JEFF HANOUILLE Staff Writer WESTFIELD – First-year Westfield High School football coach Rocco Fernandez was a guest Thursday morning on the The Westfield News radio show (89.5, WSKB) with Westfield News Group President Patrick Berry. Fernandez is a graduate of Westfield High School (2004) and Iona College (2008). He played Division I-AA football as an offensive and defensive lineman and coached at three different levels of college football. He is also a former coach of the Westfield High School freshmen football team. First-year Westfield High School While Fernandez covered a wide football coach Rocco Fernandez range of topics pertaining to high said there will be a new attitude in school football, one thing he made Westfield this season. (File photo) clear was this: there will be a new attitude this year in Westfield. “We have a new offense, a new defense and a new attitude with the team,” Fernandez said. “I’ve really stressed focusing on the little things. Get the little things taken care of, because the little things turn into big things. Coach (Bill) Moore used to always promote character and mental toughness. That’s something that I’ve been continuing to promote, along with the little things.” Under Moore, who retired after last season, Westfield ran the tripleoption and rarely passed the ball, using its power-run game to go to two Super Bowls and a west sectional final. In Fernandez’s offense, the team will scrap the triple-option in favor of a more wide-open offense in the form of the pistol-zone option. This style of play theoretically opens up more options for the offense, making for a more effective running game and allowing dual-threat quarterbacks who can run and throw to flourish. “I’ve changed everything from last year and everything that’s been run in the last 10-12 years,” Fernandez said. “The kids have been running triple-option on offense and three-three stack defense for the last four years, so that’s all they know. We’re spreading things out, and we’re running a different type of offense. We’ve scrapped the triple-option. We’re actually planning on throwing the ball this year, which is a lost concept in Westfield for the last 15 years. We’re still (going to use) the run, but you have to keep (the defense) honest and throw every so often.” Fernandez said sophomore Austin St. Pierre will be the starting quarterback for the Bombers. Westfield sports fans will recognize St. Pierre as the ace pitcher of the Westfield 13-year-old Babe Ruth Baseball AllStars that reached the Babe Ruth Baseball World Series two years ago in Washington. “He’s a tremendous athlete,” Fernandez said. “He started at linebacker as a freshman last year, but we don’t need our quarterback getting killed, so we’re going to rotate him in on defense as a hybrid outside linebacker/ safety. He’s going to be the guy to run our offense the next three years.”
Weeks picked off in 10th ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — It was not what Jemile Weeks had in mind for his Boston Red Sox debut — getting picked off as a pinch runner in the top of the 10th inning. Matt Joyce had an RBI single in the bottom of the inning to give Tampa Bay a 4-3 win over Boston on Monday, giving the Rays of split of the four-game series. Acquired from Baltimore in a four-player deal on Saturday, Weeks ran for Christian Vazquez after the Red Sox catcher had singled off Grant Balfour with one out in the 10th. Balfour (2-6) caught Weeks leaning the wrong way and picked him off. “He probably knows at some point I was going to go, so he probably did what he doesn’t usually do in that sequence,” Weeks said of Balfour, an ex-Oakland A’s teammate. “It’s definitely not a good feeling, but I think the staff and everybody knows that we play the percentages there and he went completely against what he usually does.” Red Sox manager John Farrell said the pickoff was “untimely for sure.” Ryan Hanigan opened the bottom of the 10th with a double off Burke Badenhop (0-3), which withstood a replay review. Kevin Kiermaier was intentionally walked before Ben Zobrist
had a sacrifice bunt. After Wil Myers was given an intentional walk, pinch-runner Sean Rodriquez, who ran for Hanigan, scored on Joyce’s hit to left. Myers had an RBI double and Evan Longoria drove in two with a single off Rubby De La Rosa as the Rays took a 3-1 lead in the third. But Mike Napoli hit a solo homer in the fourth, and Yoenis Cespedes got the Red Sox even at 3-3 with an RBI single off Steve Geltz in the eighth. De La Rosa allowed three runs and six hits over 5 1-3 innings. Mookie Betts put the Red Sox up 1-0 with a run-scoring double in the third. The rookie had six RBIs, including a grand slam Friday night, in the four-game series. Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia, who has not played experiencing concussion-like symptoms on a play Saturday night, said he is feeling better and hopes to play as soon as Tuesday against the New York Yankees. “I’ve got to take all these tests and stuff, which is kind of tough. I haven’t passed many tests in my schooling life,” Pedroia joked. “Today I didn’t have a headache so that was good. . . . I’m feeling normal for the most part. Sometimes I feel a little different but I guess that’s supposed to happen.”

Appearing as a guest on The Westfield News radio show Thursday morning, Westfield High School football coach Rocco Fernandez said sophomore Austin St. Pierre will be his starting quarterback. (File photo) Senior running back Cody Neidig, also the team’s All-League cornerback and kicker, will be another important player this year for Westfield. “He makes kicks, he returns kicks and he plays the other team’s best wide receiver as corner,” Fernandez said. “He’s the best all-around athlete on the team, and he’s a great leader.” Fernandez also talked up fullback Craig Ward, middle linebacker Jordan Cree, tight end John Bucko and lineman Austin Shrewsbury as players who have emerged as team leaders so far this summer. Westfield opens its season at noon on Saturday, Sept. 6 at Amherst. It will be the first of three consecutive road games to begin the season for Westfield. The Bombers, who have a bye in Week Two, travel to West Springfield (Sept. 19) and Putnam (Sept. 26) before returning for their home opener against Minnechaug on Friday, Oct. 3 at Bullens Field. Westfield will also look to exorcise its demons this year against rival Central. Last year, the Bombers went 9-2, with the two losses coming at the hands of the Golden Eagles. The last lost in November was a 44-20 defeat in the West Division 2 final to complete an unbeaten season for Central. “Obviously, the kids don’t want that to happen again – I don’t want that to happen again,” Fernandez said. “I was brought in to beat Central.”

TRAINER’S ROOM Red Sox: Pedroia missed his second consecutive game. Rays: CF Desmond Jennings (sore left knee) was out of the lineup for the fourth straight game but was available off the bench. ... OF David DeJesus (broken left hand) was activated from the 15-day disabled list after missing 64 games. ON DECK Red Sox: RHP Joe Kelly
(0-1) is scheduled to face Yankees RHP Shane Greene (4-1) Tuesday night. Rays: RHP Jeremy Hellickson (1-2) and knuckleballer R.A. Dickey (10-12) are the scheduled starter in the start of a three-game series Tuesday night. CLOSER CALL Farrell explained his decision not to use closer Koji Uehara on Monday, or in the entire series: “(I’m)
trying to hold Koji back in the event of a save opportunity, but given where we are in this part of the season, I’m not going to bring him in in a tie game on the road, at least in that situation where we’ve still got a fresh arm in Badenhop.” NEXT CASTILLO STOP Recently signed Cuban oufielder Rusney Castillo will report to Double-A Portland on Wednesday, Farrell said.

By Chris Putz Staff Writer Like the NFL says – It’s back to football! And back to our pro football contest, “Beat ‘The Putz.’” There have been a bevy of offseason moves involving the New England Patriots, including relocating “Revis Island” to New England; preparing for the return of Gronk, Wilfork, and Mayo (who each suffered season ending injuries in 2013); and, welcoming Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks cornerback Brandon Browner (after he serves a four-game suspension for the use of PEDs) to the team. In the final days of the preseason, the Patriots pulled off another stunner when owner Robert Kraft and coach Bill Belichick traded for Tampa Bay wide receiver Timothy Wright, a 6-foot, 4-inch, 220-pound talent expected to play the role of Aaron Hernandez. The risk involved unloading the team’s mainstay on the offensive line, Logan Mankins. The upside is a more explosive offense. The reigning American Football Conference champion Denver Broncos might have something to say about that. The Broncos return the ’13 MVP Peyton Manning; an upgraded defensive unit – former Pat cornerback Aqib Talib, exCowboy defensive end Demarcus Ware, and T.J. Ward; versatile running back Montee Ball; dynamic wide receivers Demaryius Thomas, Wes Welker, and new face Emmanuel Sanders (Steelers), and rookie Cody Latimer; as well as tight end Julius Thomas. The Broncos and Patriots do not meet until November 2. It will likely not be the last time the two teams meet this season. While there are several weeks to go before those teams collide, there is a whole slate of games to whet the appetite in Week 1. New England travels to Miami, Denver hosts Indy (in our tiebreaker game), Drew Brees leads the New Orleans Saints into a Hard Knocks affair in Atlanta, the Bengals and Ravens battle in Baltimore, RG3 and Washington invade Houston, Cam Newton tries to buck Tampa, and Colin Kaepernick rushes the 49ers into little “d.” (Sorry I had to do that one.) Pick one team in each of those contests, beat “The Putz,” (yes, that’s me, sports editor Chris Putz), and finish first overall to win a weekly gift certificate to The Tavern Restaurant on Broad Street in Westfield. The Sunday night game, which this week is the Broncos and Colts, will be used to break any ties. Don’t forget to put a tiebreaker total (the total number of points scored by both teams) in the box. The entrant closest to the Sunday Night total will be deemed the winner. If a tie still exists, a random drawing will be used to determine that week’s champion. All entrants who beat “The Putz” will be eligible for the grand prize drawing following season’s end. Good luck to all!

Gronk promises he will play Sunday; Dolphins ready FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Star tight end Rob Gronkowski stood in front of his Gillette Stadium locker Monday and announced he will be playing in the New England Patriots’ opener at Miami this Sunday. Meanwhile, the news hardly caught the Dolphins by surprise. “I’m super excited,” said Gronkowski, who didn’t play in any of the four preseason games as he completed his recovery from December right knee surgery. “I won’t have to see my teammates grind all week - (I’ll) go back out there with them, get in the huddle, break the huddle with them. “It’s going to be an honor to be back out there with my teammates. Super pumped, super excited and just preparing for the game.” The pronouncement came as a bit of a surprise in a locker room not known for players “breaking news.” “Yeah, yeah, I’m just getting it out of the way there,” Gronkowski said. “Every single day this week (he would have been asked about returning) - get it out of the way now.” “It just feels good in my mind to know that I’ll be out there with my boys, working hard, grinding with them, being out there.” The Patriots are 6-0 all-time when Gronkowski plays against the Dolphins, but Miami has kept him in some check of late. Gronkowski’s last two games against Miami resulted in a total of only four catches. Dolphins coach Joe Philbin said his team was “fully prepared” for a Gronkowski sighting. “He’s an excellent player,” Philbin said Monday. “He’s been a very very productive player throughout his career. We’ll have a good plan in place, but he’s certainly an important part of their offense, and a productive part of it. We’ll be ready for him, for sure.” Gronkowski, who tore his right ACL and MCL
last Dec. 8, is a two-time Pro Bowler and was an All-Pro in 2011. He has 226 catches with 42 touchdowns in 50 regular-season games. Last season, coming off multiple surgeries and an arm infection, he appeared in seven games, catching 39 passes, four for touchdowns, before going down on a hit by safety T.J. Ward, then of the Cleveland Browns. Asked if he feels ready, Gronkowski said, “Definitely. I feel mentally and physically ready, for sure, no doubt about it.” “Just the way we just worked throughout all camp and the last few weeks, everything’s just been going well,” Gronkowski added. “There’s been no setbacks, just more and more (work) every single day. “Now I just have to focus on the Miami Dolphins, just keep focusing on getting better and getting stronger.” Dolphins defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle said he’s been working under the assumption Gronkowski would be ready for Week 1. “He’s also been a big target for them in the red zone,” Coyle said. “If he plays, and how much he plays, we don’t know how much that will be, that’s not going to change what we do.” Gronkowski says he doesn’t expect to play “every single snap” Sunday, but is ready for “whatever the coaches have.” “It’s been long and tiring for sure,” he said. “But you just got to be patient and everything comes along well. That’s the way I’ve been - just keep working hard and it will all come.” Last week, the Patriots traded veteran guard Logan Mankins to Tampa Bay for tight end Tim Wright, who has been added to provide depth. “So far, he’s been working hard. It’s been great seeing him improving every single day, learning everything, and it’s always fun with a new guy that wants to work hard,” Gronkowski said.

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Too Old Dear Annie: I am 74, and “Jane” is 56. We met online, where I said early on that I was not interested in dating because of the age disparity. I simply told her that I liked the expression on her face in the posted photos. She is beautiful. But within a few months, we fell in love and became intimate. Jane realized it was a mistake and was quick to point it out. Aside from the age problem, I also suffer from impotence, and the sexual dysfunction had too great an impact. Jane wanted a man who could provide for all her needs. Jane told me she wanted to stay friends, but I refused. I really fell for her and cannot tolerate the idea that she is sexually involved with another man. This woman is a complete 10 in her heart and soul. After we broke up, I went through months of feeling bad. I cried a lot. But here’s the problem. Jane seems unable to let go of me. She told me once that she liked me more than anyone she had ever known, and she finds me endlessly interesting. Every month or so, she contacts me. If it happens when I’m strong and happy, I reply, and we have a nice email chat. Of course, eventually she ends up accidentally mentioning her other men, and that caves me in. Jane would never try to make me jealous, but she has no appreciation for my inability to deal with this. I have tried to go cold turkey and dump her completely, but I seem too susceptible to the possibility that she’ll change her mind and want me as a sweetheart again. It would be easier if I had other romantic options, but at my age and selectivity, I’m not hopeful. Jane was a mistake that got out of hand, and I’m paying for it. Is there a way to build a strong and lasting friendship with Jane regardless of her involvement with other men? -- Too Old Dear Too: No matter how nice Jane is, we suspect she enjoys making you a wee bit jealous. Otherwise, she wouldn’t mention her male friends. The age gap is not insurmountable, but if a romantic relationship isn’t in the cards, it will take time before you can have the type of friendship you seek. Since you are so susceptible, it might help to distance yourself more thoroughly from Jane and send her emails directly to your spam file. It’s hard to cool off when you both keep fanning the flames. Dear Annie: I recently took my 5-year-old son to a birthday party for a little girl who turned 7. We put together a birthday present of arts and crafts materials including stickers, stamps, Barbie coloring pages, glitter glue, etc. We thought it was a nice present. However, when the birthday girl opened it, she laughed, and the girl’s best friend commented, “Who would give someone that?” My son was oblivious, but I was offended. Should I have said something? -- Concerned Mom Dear Mom: No. You’re talking about a young girl who is still learning how to respond properly to gifts. We hope she said “thank you,” and we trust her mother will give her pointers on polite and appropriate things to say. The best friend’s response was rude, but again, little kids need time to learn. The important thing is that you didn’t make a big deal out of it with your son. We think your gift was lovely. Dear Annie: I’m responding to “L.H. in Montgomery.” I, too, am 82 years old and have been single for 23 years. A little over a year ago, I became reacquainted with a wonderful gentleman I’d met at a church 40 years ago. We will be getting married this fall. Do not despair. There is always hope. -- In Love in SoCal Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

A Tip for Housekeeping Dear Readers: I have written about this Heloise travel hint before, but it’s time to mention it again. When staying in a hotel (especially for several nights) and using daily housekeeping service, it is nice to LEAVE A TIP. Be sure to leave a note with the tip so it goes to the right person. I usually write “For Housekeeping” and place it on a pillow, or sometimes on the dresser. This makes it clear that the money is for them. If I see the housekeeper with her cart on the floor, I try to say that there is something for her in my room. Also, if you are there for several days, ask if the same person will be working when you leave. If you wait to tip until the end of your stay, it may be a different person from the one who has been taking care of your room. Usually, I don’t use housekeeping, because I have enough towels. I sort of throw the covers up over the pillows and put my trash in the trash can. If extra shampoo or lotion is needed, I simply ask housekeeping to bring me a few, or I stop and ask the person at the housekeeping cart when she is on the floor. -- Heloise RINSE AGENT Dear Heloise: What exactly is the reason for using a rinse agent when washing dishes in the dishwasher? -- Eddie W. in Kentucky The rinse agent makes water slide off the items you are washing so glasses and dishes have fewer, if any, water spots or film on them when dry. This is particularly important if you live in an area with hard water, like we do here in San Antonio! -Heloise

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Someone whom you might have least expected to expound on his or her perspectives will do just that. Though you see situations from a totally different point of view, you’ll appreciate hearing this person’s thoughts. Tonight: Imagine what it would be like to be someone else. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You seem to be in opposition to a partner’s idea. You see life differently from this person, and it could be the source of a disagreement. You both need to respect each other’s views. As a result, you could experience a meeting of the minds. Tonight: Togetherness is the theme. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You don’t need to give in to others’ requests, but it might be easier. How important is it for you to be right? What is your goal in the present situation? Answer these questions, and you’ll know what is best for you. Tonight: Enjoy going along with someone else’s plans. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Your creativity will allow greater give-and-take between you and others. In fact, you could be essential in finding a solution to a problem. Buying a new item or gift might be high on your to-do list, but remember to stay within your budget. Tonight: Run an errand or two. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Deal with someone directly in order to get the results you want. This person will be more open to your suggestions as a result; his or her imagination and intellect will emerge with your respect. The two of you could become quite a dynamic duo. Tonight: On the prowl. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Tension could mount and create an unclear and unrealistic perspective, especially within the realm of interpersonal relations. Learn to keep your opinions to yourself more often. Listen to your instincts surrounding a family member. Tonight: Your home is your castle. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might want to understand why someone is choosing to express an idea that seems out of character for him or her. You might discover a better way to handle a personal issue. Zero in on what feels necessary, and you will succeed. Tonight: Where the gang is. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You might want to think through an idea in a new way and handle it differently. Your ability to move past the need to have control will start disappearing once you realize that you can’t control anything except your own life. Tonight: Make it your treat. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You have a style that is unique, and it makes others feel comfortable with you. Confusion seems to surround communication. Understand that not everyone thinks like you. News might come in from afar that is well worth celebrating. Tonight: In the limelight. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Assume a low-profile, if possible. You will understand what needs to happen if you observe and sit on your ideas for now. A laid-back approach will prove to be far more effective. Respond to an unpredictable situation by maintaining a sense of humor. Tonight: Not to be found. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Listen to news with a more open attitude, and you might hear an unexpected statement. You will be able to make a quick turn or change as a result. Friends will play a strong role in what goes on in your immediate surroundings. Tonight: Do only what you

want. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You are likely to gain a new perspective that surprises you. How you deal with a key friend and what you do within the relationship could change radically.

Cavallini named MASCAC Player of the Week WESTFIELD — Westfield State University senior striker Dom Cavallini (Springfield, Mass./ Minnechaug HS) has been named the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference’s inaugural player of the week for the 2014 season. Cavallini enjoyed a career day on Sunday, as he tallied three goals and four assists in leading Westfield to a 12-0 win over Wheelock College. The big day more than doubled his career output; he had tallied two goals and four assists in 52 games prior to Sunday.

Freshman midfielder Connor Townsend opened the scoring for Westfield just 3:40 into the match, converting off of a through ball from Dom Cavallini.
