Huntington TM votes down Gateway budget

By AMY PORTER Correspondent HUNTINGTON – Over 100 out of 1,407 registered voters assembled Monday evening in Stanton Hall for the annual Town Meeting.

Moderator Peter Jacques called the meeting to order at 7:01 p.m. He said all of the warrants were properly posted on May 15. Chair Jeffrey McKittrick thanked Helen Speckels, the administrative assistant to the Select Board since 2002 for her work in preparing the annual report, and for her many years of service.

McKittrick then presented her with flowers. This year’s annual report is dedicated to Speckels.

Selectman Ed Renauld then gave an overview of the articles to be considered at the meeting. He said the legal expenses in the budget have increased due to Worthington’s withdrawal, and the attorney the town hired. He said they might split legal fees into two line items, to specifically track the Gateway legal expenses.

Renauld said that the Free Cash this year is $24,513, down from $289,353 last year, with “luckily” no capital expenditures. He also said that four times the number of taxpayers are currently in arrears, a total of 96.

He noted that regarding the Gateway Regional School District (GRSD) budget, because a Prop. 2 ½ override failed at the polls, the Select Board agreed to amend the over-minimum amount to what the town can afford under Prop 2 ½.

“By not approving the full amount, we’ve pretty much voted down the school budget,” Renauld said.

After passing the first seven consent articles with little discussion, the town considered the GRSD portion of the budget for its minimum contribution, share of transportation, and over-minimum contribution. The Select Board and Finance See Gateway, Page 3

Facebook post leads to Maple Leaf assault

By CHRISTINE CHARNOSKY Correspondent WESTFIELD – An angry exchange on Facebook led to the arrest of three city women after allegedly assaulting another woman at a local bar.

On February 7, the victim went to the Westfield Police Department reporting that Luz J. Ortiz, 24, of 59 Mechanic St., Bianca M. Sanchez, 25, of 25 Margerie St., Apt. 2 and Stephanie Vega, 25, of 126 Union St., Apt. 0611, had assaulted her the night before, according to City Hall records.

As the victim and friends was leaving the Maple Leaf Inn, located on Arnold Street, Ortiz, Sanchez and Vega attacked her from behind as she reached the front door of the establishment, according to the police report.

Mayor Knapik named Valley Bike Advocate WESTFIELD – MassBike PV, the regional chapter of the statewide bicycle coalition, has announced the selection of the Pioneer Valley Bicycle Advocate of the Year. For the past 13 years MassBike PV, representing the bicycling community in Franklin, Hampshire and Hampden Counties, has selected the person having the greatest impact on bicycling in the region to receive this award.

The recipient for 2015 is Mayor Daniel M. Knapik of Westfield. MassBike PV recognized Knapik as a friend of the bicycling community and his support and accomplishments for bicycling in the city of Westfield. During his three terms in office the city saw the completion of the Columbia Greenway into downtown, plans for an East/West connector on the city’s levee, bike lane and shared lane proposals in road projects and the formation of a Bike/Ped Master Plan Advisory Committee.

“Mayor Knapik exemplifies the MassBike PV Mission to promote the bicycle as a safe, healthful, enjoyable, efficient and environmentally sound means of transportation,” said Sean Condon, MassBike PV president.

An award presentation will be held tomorrow at New Horizons Bikes, 55 Franklin Street in Westfield at 6 p.m. The public is invited to show their thanks and refreshments will be served.

By DAN MORIARTY Staff Writer SOUTHBRIDGE – The Town Manager Search Committee Monday night selected Mayor Daniel M. Knapik as one of three candidates who will be interviewed Thursday for appointment as the town manager of the 17,000 resident community on the state’s border with Connecticut.

Shaun Moriarty, chairman of the Southbridge Board of Alderman said Monday night that Knapik brings a range of experience which will benefit residents of Southbridge if he is selected Thursday night.

“We like his track record and the fact that he has served as both mayor and a City Council member in Westfield,” Moriarty said. “We MAYOR DANIEL look at Westfield as not being horM. KNAPIK ribly different from Southbridge, although we are not a college town.”

Knapik gained support within the search committee to advance to the final interview and selection process Thursday. The salary range is up to $142,000 a year.

Moriarty said that the Southbridge budget is about $52 million.

“It’s a smaller budget than Westfield’s, but Southbridge is not without challenges and complexities for whoever serves See Knapik, Page 3

Board discusses next steps for sewer implementation

By HOPE E. TREMBLAY Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – Following the rejection of several articles to fund the next phase of sewers in town last week, the Board of Selectmen discussed how to move forward last night.

Selectman Russell Fox suggested the town meet with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to find out what fines would be imposed if the town is not making progress by the Dec. 31, 2018 deadline the DEP issued to the schools.

Superintendent of Schools John Barry acknowledged the DEP deadline to hook the school campus to sewers during the Annual Town Meeting. He said he thought the DEP would work with the town.

Fox said a site visit with the DEP should Clerk Douglas Moglin, Chairman Joseph Deedy and Vice be the first priority, adding that increasing Chairman Russell Fox of the Southwick Board of Selectmen the size of the Sewer Implementation discuss the sewer implementation committee last night. (Photo Committee, which is an advisory commitby Hope E. Tremblay) tee, should also take place.

“I think we need to reorganize and expand the committee and include Randy Brown (the Department of Public Works director) as a permanent member,” said Fox. Fox said he would also like residents from the areas affected by the proposed Phase II of sewer installation be appointed to the committee.

Selectmen Chairman Joseph Deedy noted that the town pays for using Westfield’s water treatment facility regardless of how many residents are on the system.

“We bought 500,000 gallons of the twomillion gallon capacity in the interceptor,” said Brown. “We own a 25-percent share.”

The board agreed to contact the school department and DEP to organize a site visit as soon as possible.

At the start of last night’s meeting the board reorganized and voted Deedy as chairman, Fox as vice chairman, and Douglas Moglin as clerk.

Long Island burglar’s red underwear leads to police arrest HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) — The blue sneakers were the subject of the crime. But it was a Long Island man’s red underwear that led him into the hands of police.

Police tell Newsday that 18-year-old Taykim Ross stole $200, electronics and Air Jordan sneakers from an apartment Monday and stopped in the backyard to try on the new kicks. That’s when a neighbor snapped a photo of him with red boxers visible above his jeans.

Hempstead Village Officer Russell Harris says he was returning after a canvass of the neighborhood when he noticed someone taking garbage out in his mirror. Harris says he saw someone bending over with “bright red underwear.”

Turns out, it was an exact match of the photo.

Ross will be arraigned Today. It’s unclear if he has an attorney.

n June 2, 1995, a U.S. Air Force F-16C was shot down by a Bosnian Serb surface-to-air missile while on a NATO air patrol in northern Bosnia; the pilot, Capt. Scott F. O’Grady, was rescued by U.S. Marines six days later.

ON THIS DATE: In 1863, during the Civil War, Union Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman wrote a letter to his wife, Ellen, in which he commented, “Vox populi, vox humbug” (The voice of the people is the voice of humbug).

In 1886, President Grover Cleveland, 49, married Frances Folsom, 21, in the Blue Room of the White House.

In 1897, Mark Twain, 61, was quoted by the New York Journal as saying from London that “the report of my death was an exaggeration.”

In 1924, Congress passed a measure that was then signed by President Calvin Coolidge guaranteeing full American citizenship for all Native Americans born within U.S. territorial limits.

In 1941, baseball’s “Iron Horse,” Lou Gehrig, died in New York of a degenerative disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; he was 37.

In 1990, actor Sir Rex Harrison died in New York at 82.

In 1997, Timothy McVeigh was convicted of murder and conspiracy in the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. (McVeigh was executed in June 2001.)

TEN YEARS AGO: Israel released hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, completing a pledge made under a cease-fire agreement. Closing arguments took place in the Michael Jackson child molestation trial in Santa Maria, California. (Jackson was acquitted.) Georgia’s “runaway bride,” Jennifer Wilbanks, pleaded no contest to faking her own abduction; she was sentenced to probation and community service and fined. Thirteen-yearold Anurag Kashyap (AH’-noo-rahg KAHSH’-yahp) from Poway, California, won the national spelling bee championship in Washington by correctly spelling “appoggiatura,” which means melodic tone.

FIVE YEARS AGO: Amid the Deepwater Horizon oil spill crisis, BP chief executive Tony Hayward apologized for having told reporters, “I’d like my life back,” calling the remark hurtful and thoughtless in a statement posted on Facebook.

Taxi driver Derrick Bird went on a murderous rampage across a tranquil part of rural England, leaving 12 dead before committing suicide. Pitcher Armando Galarraga of the Detroit Tigers lost his bid for a perfect game against Cleveland with two outs in the ninth inning on a call that first base umpire Jim Joyce later admitted he’d

blown. (The Tigers beat the Indians, 3-0.)

ONE YEAR AGO: The Justice Department announced charges against 30-year-old Evgeniy Bogachev, the alleged mastermind of a band of hackers that authorities said had implanted viruses on hundreds of thousands of computers around the world, secretly seized customer bank information and stole more than $100 million from businesses and consumers.

Committee recommended passage of the first two items.

Regarding Huntington’s share of transportation of $558,815, Al LaFrance asked a question about the amount. In a special town meeting just prior to the annual meeting, a warrant to transfer a surplus of $47,500 from last year’s GRSD transportation account to highway sand and salt ($14,497), street lights ($2,500) and veterans’ relief ($30,503) had passed with no discussion. LaFrance asked what created the surplus.

“When we approved the transportation last year, we approved the full amount,” said Finance Committee chairwoman Darlene McVeigh said. “Subsequent to our vote, the School Committee voted to return the surplus to the towns. Our assessment had been lowered by the School Committee.”

“Apparently, we don’t expect a surplus,” LaFrance said, since the amount in this year’s budget is the same as last year’s plus $25,000.

GRSD business manager Stephanie Fisk said that the surplus for the coming fiscal year is expected to be 73 percent for transportation, but since Gateway has eliminated two bus runs, “We’ll be even.” Following that explanation, the transportation article passed by a majority vote.

As Article 10 for the above-minimum contribution came up, Renauld moved to amend the amount to $404,221 for Huntington’s share, or to accept a sum less than $404,221. The over-minimum contribution for Huntington in the budget voted on by the school committee was $545,488.

McVeigh said that the school district and other organizations have been petitioning the state legislature for mitigating funds in the amount of $630,000.

“We have not heard or received anything in writing to say that it has been approved,” she said. She also said that one of the pieces in the legislation allowing Worthington to withdraw is that the remaining six towns “will be held harmless.”

McVeigh said the over-minimum amount was reduced so as not to trigger Proposition 2 ½.

“You had mentioned that these mitigation monies were a one-time deal as opposed to an annual reimbursement that we can look forward to,” Linda Hamlin said.

“Yes, at this time,” McVeigh said.

Tom Gralinski asked if the mitigation funds would get distributed to the towns or to the school. McVeigh said they would go to the school, but the School Committee has already voted to reimburse the towns. In this scenario, Huntington’s overminimum contribution would be lowered. Following the discussion, the amendment passed by a majority vote.

The discussion on the article itself continued in advance of the secret ballot vote, the only one of the night. Clarification was needed on the vote.

“A yes vote means you are voting to approve this value of $404,221 for GRSD,” Jacques said. “If the school comes back with a lesser amount, then no new Town Meeting is needed. A no vote means that when the School Committee comes back with a budget, there will have to be another Town Meeting.”

The vote was then taken, and the article passed 91-12.

Also passed were two GTAC resolutions: that GRSD file for reimbursement for any and all unfunded mandates imposed by the state, and that the GRSD School Committee be requested to explore all options to protect the financial and educational sustainability of the Gateway Regional School District.

The biggest discussion of the night concerned allowing the town to establish a fine for throwing snow on town property.

Several amendments were suggested to the language in the article, which prohibits moving snow onto the town’s streets and/or sidewalks, with a potential fine of up to $150 for second violations. In the end it passed, as did all of the remaining articles including the town budget.

The meeting was adjourned at approximately 9:30 p.m.

Dan’s mom quit smoking cigarettes. No one thought she could do it. Dan told his Carson therapist how proud of her he was.

She’d lost him and his brother to the Department of Children and Families (DCF) for two years when she was on heroin, but she got off of that, too. He’d seen her sexually assaulted by her dealer when he was ten. That’s what triggered the first foster care placement.

“That foster home was abusive. Maybe mom was high, but she loved us. These foster folks took money from the state for us and made us kneel for eight hours at a time on rice or gravel as punishment. Our knees are still messed up from it. There were twenty-four foster homes for us after that one. They were all pretty bad.”

Dan describes moving back into her apartment with her when he turned fourteen and was returned by DCF to the care of his mom.

“We borrowed a grocery cart from Walmart and loaded it up and wheeled our stuff into the new apartment.

Carson’s Rec program got me a bike back then when I got out of foster care. That probably saved my life. Being fourteen, you need something to do, going out for long hikes and rides. Gives you hope.

Mom is still in the apartment. Now she’s quitting smoking, can you believe that? It is great. My mom inspired me to change, you know?

I’d gone out to California for a summer to make some money roofing with my cousin. I’d really gotten into meth, and I’d lost my job. You know what got me clean? I was eighteen--you can do anything when you’re eighteen-- and took a Greyhound Bus back to my mom, who’d changed her life for us. I was clean when I arrived and I stayed clean by coming here to Carson.

They say I have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. If I do, then so does my brother and my mom and my girlfriend. It isn’t easy being poor and having nothing.

Anyway, my Carson therapist says that drugs numb pain. Now without the drugs, I’ve still got all the pain and it makes it hard for me to be a good partner and dad, even when I want to be. That’s why I’m coming here with my girlfriend. I told my brother to come, too. We deserve a chance.”

Kerry’s career marked by physical and political mishaps

By MICHAEL CROWLEY Politico.com There was the time he was caught lounging on his yacht amid a coup in Egypt. A snowboarding crash in Idaho before a pack of reporters. And, of course, the infamous 2004 windsurfing outing that became a devastating George W. Bush campaign ad.

Whether he’s hitting the slopes, captaining a ship, or strumming his classical guitar, John Kerry has always had one of Washington’s most colorful and adventurous lifestyles, one enabled by his rare surplus of both money and stamina.

But the Secretary of State’s extracurricular pastimes have also brought him repeated trouble dating to his days as a senator and presidential candidate. His Sunday bike accident in France — which left him with a broken femur and an uncertain recovery schedule — is just the most painful example among a long series of both physical and political injuries.

Some medical experts speculate the injury could prevent Kerry from traveling or even walking for a month or more.

That could complicate the Obama administration’s ongoing nuclear talks with Iran, in which Kerry has played an intense personal role, and which have mainly convened in Switzerland.

On Monday, a State Department spokeswoman reiterated a target date of June 30 for a nuclear deal and dismissed speculation it might be extended. Kerry is committed to the “exact same timetable as before his accident,” said the spokeswoman, Marie Harf, adding that Kerry will pursue “an aggressive, ambitious and responsible recovery timeline.”

While the implications for Iran and other diplomatic priorities are unclear, Kerry’s biking accident spotlights two longdefining qualities: one is an aristocratic taste that has provided countless punch lines for his critics. The other is an outdoorsman’s spirit that, even at age 71, still burns strong.

“It’s part of being John Kerry. The guy is irrepressible,” says Scott Ferson, a former aide to the late Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy and now a Boston political consultant. But it comes with a public-relations downside, he added: “He didn’t injure himself bowling. He picks elite, expensive sports.”

Aides are sensitive to the idea that Kerry’s ambitious activities — which include skiing the Alps, playing ice hockey, and an aggressive cycling style that one fellow rider has likened to a bike messenger’s — interferes with his job duties.

“It’s his release valve, and a healthy one despite the occasional busted grill or broken bone,” said his former longtime chief of staff, David Wade.

Those pastimes have left Kerry broken and bruised before.

When Kerry ran for president, his doctor disclosed that he’d had three sports-related knee surgeries for injuries sustained playing soccer and softball and while skiing, though it’s not clear when those injuries happened.

Sunday wasn’t even his first hard fall on one of the high-end racing cycles that Kerry often brings on European trips, which give him access to some of the world’s top pro cycling routes.

On 1992 ride, Kerry fell hard enough to break his clavicle.

Even well beyond retirement age, Kerry’s pace has barely slowed. In January 2012, Kerry attended a White House event honoring the then-Stanley Cup winning Boston Bruins with a pair of black eyes and a swollen nose; a spokesman said he’d hurt himself in a pickup hockey game of his own.

And that’s to say nothing of a globe-trotting Secretary of State who conducts marathon sleep-deprived diplomacy while many of the exhausted reporters trailing him struggle to form words for their dispatches.

“Intense physical exertion relaxes him and focuses him and clears his mind,” said Jim Jordan, another former top Kerry aide. “I understand it’s difficult to imagine most of his predecessors at State living a non-sedentary life, but that’s the guy.

It’s to be admired and envied.”

It may be that the most lasting bruises from Kerry’s athleticism are political ones. Since he first came to Washington in the 1980s, Kerry has been hounded by the image of a snooty patrician.

Kerry had just emerged as the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee in March 2004, for instance, when he took a snowboarding trip in Ketchum, Idaho. On one run down the slopes, Kerry collided with a Secret Service agent — in full view of his traveling press corps. (Kerry arguably compounded the problem by insisting to reporters, while prone on his backside: “I don’t fall down. That son of a bitch ran into me,” though aides insisted he was joking.)

Far more damaging was a Nantucket windsurfing outing that summer, as Kerry was in a tight race against President George W. Bush. Some aides sought to prevent an off-message photoop for a campaign aimed at middle-class voters. None fully imagined that the Bush campaign would turn the footage into a mocking campaign ad that portrayed Kerry as an effete rich guy tacking with the political winds.

That line of attack has subsided since Kerry left elected office, although Kerry’s knack for an unwelcome photo-op has not. When a July 4, 2013, coup in Egypt rang diplomatic alarm bells in Washington, a reporter spotted Kerry on his 76-foot yacht on Nantucket Sound. A State Department official first See Kerry, Page 8

Why We’re Suspending the ‘Run Warren Run’ Campaign

By ILYA SHEYMAN and CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN Politico.com Today we announce the suspension of our campaign to draft Elizabeth Warren into the presidential race. There’s no sugarcoating it: We didn’t achieve our central goal. But there’s a bigger story that gives us tremendous hope: as one headline put it, “Elizabeth Warren may not be running, but she’s in the 2016 race anyway.”

In the six months since we launched the Run Warren Run effort, Senator Warren’s agenda and message have transformed the American political landscape. Echoing Warren’s famous adage that “the game is rigged,” Hillary Clinton declared in her campaign announcement that “the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top.” Bernie Sanders emerged out of the gate as a far stronger contender than political bookmakers could have imagined just a few months ago. And Martin O’Malley launched his campaign on Saturday calling for the breaking up of big banks and jailing of Wall Street crooks. Even some Republicans are positioning themselves to run against inequality (although their proposals would exacerbate it).

To be sure, Warren—and grassroots economic populism more broadly—was already a rising force well before our efforts began. But look closely at the way the Run Warren Run effort unfolded, and you’ll see why, for us and for the 365,000 people who signed up, this campaign has already succeeded. Although Run Warren Run may not have sparked a candidacy, it ignited a movement.

So what did Run Warren Run do? And why did it work?

1) We built 2016’s first and biggest on-the-ground operation in Iowa and New Hampshire—and showed that voters and activists are hungry for progressive fighters.

We opened three field offices. We hired nine full-time organizers. We recruited volunteer captains all across New Hampshire and in 90 of Iowa’s 99 counties; drew endorsements from dozens of state legislators, local party leaders, and prominent grassroots activists; and set up tables at every political event and county fair we could find—signing up thousands of supporters.

The response to our field campaign matched our polling: our surveys testing Warren’s message, agenda, and biography among likely primary voters and caucus-goers found enormous enthusiasm. We turned that energy into an organization.

By the time other candidates began entering the race, we’d already built the kind of campaign infrastructure a candidate aims for in the final months before a caucus or primary. And our talented field team did all of this without an actual candidate in the race.

The significance of this wasn’t lost on insiders or journalists.

As our effort caught steam, it became clear that if Warren ran, she’d be a top-tier contender—and that Democrats in these early states wanted a race, not a coronation.

2) When Warren spoke, we made sure people listened. Even more than usual.

Warren’s an electrifying communicator. She’s done for C-SPAN what Mad Men did for AMC. Nonetheless, the reality of American politics is that at a certain point before each presidential election, the nation’s political hive mind turns its focus towards the race for the White House—at the exclusion of almost everything else.

Thus the second pillar of our strategy: make sure that Warren’s voice wouldn’t get lost in the 2016 chatter.

We worked to amplify her voice wherever and whenever possible—not just among Hill reporters covering the minutia of legislative debates, but on the nation’s biggest stage. By raising the possibility of a Warren run for the presidency, we elevated the significance of her words and actions. At a moment when newsrooms were reassigning top journalists from their regular beats over to 2016, they now had to keep tabs on Warren.

In this context, obscure battles took on front-page importance.

Just look at Warren’s successful effort to block the nomination of Wall Street veteran Antonio Weiss to a key post at the Treasury Department: unlike many nomination fights that have come and gone with little notice, this conflict became a bellwether for the ascendance of “Warren Wing” Democrats over the Wall Street-friendly forces that have long called the shots.

And signature Warren issues now found wider currency—as when 42 Senate Democrats joined Warren in voting for an

expansion of Social Security benefits. On issues from student debt to the TPP, Warren has come to wield the kind of agendasetting, debate-defining power normally reserved for potential party nominees.

3) We sent a message to Democrats: Take on the special interests rigging the system, and we’ll have your back.

In this day and age, the public isn’t thought to have a say in choosing its candidates.

Political scientists talk about an “invisible primary” in which, long before campaigns are announced, contenders vie for the support of key mega-donors, interest groups, and party mandarins. In the Citizens United era, this has gotten worse: Witness the GOP hopefuls kowtowing to the Koch brothers and Sheldon Adelson. But this kind of politics is toxic for democracy. It creates a situation in which the public merely rubberstamps candidates (and platforms) pre-selected by the powerful.

Run Warren Run struck a blow for a different vision of democracy. We showed that grassroots progressives are ready to lift up candidates who refuse to kiss the rings of those corrupting our political system and rigging our economy.

You’d better believe that every ambitious progressive politico in the nation was paying attention. We’ve helped to shift the incentives, demonstrating that there’s a grassroots army holding up a career ladder for public servants who actually seek to serve the public.

We don’t begrudge Warren for not choosing to climb that ladder. But we’re proud that everyone now knows it’s there. *** Running for president is at once an utterly public decision and a deeply personal one. Senator Warren has heard our case, and she declined to run. We respect her decision. If she chooses to reconsider, due to shifting circumstances or a new intuition, the movement that urged her to run could regroup at a moment’s notice. But regardless of whether that happens, we’re thrilled at how far we’ve come—and by what’s next.

On June 8, after delivering our petition, we will formally suspend the Run Warren Run campaign—and double down on the movement that it helped energize. Going forward, the hundreds of thousands of us who joined Run Warren Run will pour our energies into standing and fighting by Warren’s side. And there are many fights afoot. We’ll help wage the battle against fast-track authority for the special-interest wish-fulfillment machine known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership. We’ll stand with workers demanding higher wages and the right to organize. And we’ll keep lifting up the voices of those calling for a country where education is not synonymous with debt, where Social Security can live up to its name, and where money does not equal speech—or buy overwhelming influence.

Today, we’re at a crossroads. One way leads to an everaccelerating loop of rising inequality and the consolidation of political power by those who benefit from a rigged system. The other road, towards an America that works for everyone, is much harder to follow. There is no third way.

The rise of Elizabeth Warren, the effort to draft her for president, and the surging progressive spirit of the 2016 Democratic field and electorate—these are all important by themselves, but ultimately, they’re all tremors presaging a much deeper tectonic shift in American politics. Just as the progressive movement and New Deal set the stage for the rise of the great American middle class a century ago, we’re due for a profound political reckoning that restores our founders’ dream of government by and for the people. No one candidate can deliver that. It’s up to all of us.

Victim of weekend crash identified as former Conway selectman FLORIDA, Mass. (AP) — The man who died when his car struck a parked flat-bed truck in the town of Florida last weekend has been identified as a former Conway selectman.

The Berkshire district attorney’s office on Monday identified the victim of the Saturday morning crash on Route 2 as 65-year-old Richard Bean. He was the only occupant of the vehicle. Bean was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Recorder of Greenfield reports that Bean served two terms on the selectboard and as the town’s emergency management director until earlier this year. He was also chairman of the town Energy Committee.

Selectboard Chairman John O’Rourke called Bean a “very energetic, valuable and involved member of the Conway community.”

Police allow addicts to turn in drugs if they seek treatment

Massachusetts residents hear proposals for closed landfill

BOSTON (AP) — Heroin users seeking help for their addiction won’t be arrested if they turn over their drugs and needles to police under a unique policy launched Monday in the Massachusetts city of Gloucester.

Drug addicts — including those abusing morphine, oxycodone and other opioids — will instead be taken by an officer to the local hospital emergency room where they’ll be connected with substance abuse clinicians and, eventually, be referred to a treatment facility.

Gloucester Police Chief Leonard Campanello says the program is about trying to change police strategies in the face of a nationwide drug abuse epidemic that’s hit Massachusetts and other New England states especially hard.

“It’s a conversation changer. That’s where we’re going with this,” he said Monday. “For police officers, it’s hard to give up a fight and think of another strategy, but we’ve made a conscious decision to do that because we did not see our supplyside war on drugs having an effect. This is getting at it from a different angle.”

Massachusetts has declared opioid addiction a public health emergency, with policy makers proposing a range of ways to combat the scourge.

Campanello says a citywide spike in drug overdoses this year prompted police to take the unusual step of developing the new police policy.

Gloucester, a historic fishing city north of Boston that’s now a popular tourist destination, has already matched last year’s total of four drug overdose-related deaths and dozens more people have been treated for drug overdoses, he said.

Daniel Raymond, policy director at the Harm Reduction Coalition, a New York-based group that advocates on drugrelated policies, says the effort is unique in the country.

“What the police chief has done is cut right through the stigma and address people not as potential criminals but as people with problems,” he said. “I hope that other police departments see what Gloucester is doing and follow their lead.”

But Essex County District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett has warned the department it may lack the legal authority to promise addicts they won’t be charged with a crime. That authority, he suggests, rests with judges and prosecutors.

“While we applaud the general idea of your proposal, an explicit promise not to charge a person who unlawfully possesses drugs may amount to a charging promise that you lack legal authority to make, and on which a drug offender may not be able to rely,” he said in a letter to Campanello in late May. The police chief says the department is on solid legal footing: the mayor’s office has vetted and supports the initiative.

Gloucester, like other police departments, also conducts gun buyback and prescription drug disposal days throughout the year, he notes.

And Massachusetts, like other states, has a so-called “Good See Amnetsy, Page 8

ANDOVER, Mass. (AP) — The future of a closed 25-acre landfill in northeastern Massachusetts is clearer after about a dozen residents listened to town proposals.

The Eagle-Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/1Fr8kuU) an engineer with Landon Environmental made three proposals.

He says one option would be to turn the landfill into a 6-acre material handling yard that would store various construction and supply materials.

Another option would be to combine the handling yard and recreational facility with two lighted sports fields and a soccer field.

The third proposal involved combining the storage site with a solar panel array, which he says would be the least-expensive option. He says solar panels are easily installed and would ultimately generate money for the town.

Andover Selectmen Chairwoman Mary O’Donoghue says another meeting will likely be held later this month.

HEALTHFITNESS

THE WESTFIELD NEWS

The consequences of social media dating SPRINGFIELD — Other than your personal safety, there are health safety issues to worry about when using social media apps to hookup for casual sex with someone you know absolutely nothing about.

Rhode Island is currently experiencing what health experts in that state are calling an “epidemic of sexually transmitted diseases,” and while the numbers could reflect the fact more people are being checked for STDs, the Rhode Island health department isn’t ruling out other factors.

According to health department officials, they are citing high-risk behaviors, including “using social media to arrange casual and often anonymous sexual encounters,” as well as having sex without a condom,

having multiple sex partners, and having sex while under the influence of drugs or alcohol as other factors in the growing numbers.

A lack of national data, however, makes it unclear as to whether STD rates are increasing across the country.

“We have seen an increase in syphilis cases over the past few years in Massachusetts, including here in western Massachusetts. One of the thoughts is that social media apps may well be playing a role in what we are seeing,” said Dr. Daniel Skiest, chief, Infectious Disease Division, Baystate Medical Center.

Data released by the Rhode Island department of health show infections of syphilis increased 79%, gonorrhea cases went up 30% and new HIV cases increased by about

33% from 2013 to 2014.

But social media isn’t only to blame, says Dr. Stuart Anfang, medical director, Adult Outpatient Psychiatry at Baystate Medical Center.

“The advent of social media has changed the way people might approach intimate encounters today, particularly for younger people who are

especially at ease and adept at communicating by this means.

There is a suggestion that this has led to an increase of casual relationships with people who are not well-known to each other,” said Dr. Anfang.

“At the same time, we should also consider the fact that there may be less awareness among the younger gen-

eration about sexually transmitted diseases due to a lack of education about these diseases, which left untreated can pose significant health problems,” he added.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offer the following tips on how you can protect yourself and your sexual partners against STDs, noting effective strategies include: Abstinence – the most reliable way to avoid infection is to not have sex.

Vaccination – vaccines are safe, effective and recommended ways to prevent hepatitis B and HPV. Mutual monogamy – mutual monogamy means that you agree to be sexually active

with only one person, who has agreed to be sexually active with only you. But, you must both be certain you are not infected with an STD to begin with.

Reduced number of sex partners – reducing your number of sex partners can decrease your risk for STDs. Condoms – correct and consistent use of the male latex condom is highly effective in reducing STD transmission. Use one every time you have anal, vaginal, or oral sex.

Get tested – knowing your STD status is a crucial step to stopping STD transmission. If you know you are infected, you can take steps to protect you and your partners.

Don't take a seat: Panel says you should stand for 2 hours

By MARIA CHENG AP Medical Writer LONDON (AP) — Are you sitting down? In that case, you should probably stand up before reading this.

In the first advice of its kind, British experts are recommending office workers stand for at least two hours a day, in a warning against the dangers of prolonged sitting.

The guidelines were developed by a group of experts invited by Public Health England and an advocacy group and were published online Monday in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

The experts recommend people start with two hours of standing or light activity, adding they should eventually double that to four hours.

In recent years, the hazards of sitting too much have been compared to those of smoking, with research suggesting people who spend most of their days seated are more likely to be fat, have heart problems, cancer and even die earlier.

Not even regular exercise seems to help.

"Even if you're meeting your physical activity guidelines, you cannot undo the risks of prolonged sitting," said Gavin Bradley, director of the campaign group Get Britain Standing, See Don’t Sit, Page 8

By MARILYNN MARCHIONE AP Chief Medical Writer CHICAGO (AP) — The move to make cancer treatments gentler for children has paid a double dividend: More kids are surviving than ever before, and without the long-term complications that doomed many of their peers a generation ago, new research shows.

Radiation and chemotherapy have saved countless children from leukemia and other types of cancer, but some of these treatments can damage the heart or other organs, problems that prove fatal years later.

In the 1990s, a push began to try to prevent these “late effects” by giving smaller, more targeted doses of radiation, avoiding certain drugs and changing the way chemo is given.

But doctors worried: Would gentler treatments hurt a child’s survival odds?

The new study, which tracked more than 34,000 childhood cancer survivors over several decades, gives a happy answer: No. Survival continued to improve, even with scaled-back treatments. And fewer kids died from second cancers or heart or lung problems 15 years after their initial treatment ended.

“The field needs good news” and this study gives it, said Dr. Greg Armstrong of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. He leads the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study, funded by the National Cancer Institute.

“We have actually reduced treatment, reduced therapy,” and yet improved survival, he said.

Results were discussed Sunday at an American Society of Clinical Oncology conference in Chicago.

Treating childhood cancer is “one of the miracles of modern medicine,” Armstrong said. “Fifty years ago less than 30 percent of kids would survive childhood cancer but now we know that over 80 percent will.”

That high success rate allowed doctors in the 1990s to scale

back certain treatments for certain types of patients to try to spare them late effects. The study compared survival odds before and after that change.

Researchers found that the death rate 15 years after treatment ended kept declining, from about 12 percent for those treated from 1970-74 to 6 percent for those treated from 1990-94.

Deaths from late effects of cancer treatment, such as heart problems, also declined over that period, from 3.5 percent to 2.1 percent.

Garrett and Gatlin Stringer, brothers from Huntsville, Texas, benefited from the change, said their physician, Dr. Michael Rytting at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.

The boys had acute lymphocytic leukemia, the most common childhood cancer. When doctors first described their treatment, “we didn’t really ask long-term effects, to be honest, because at the time it was really just kind of day to day,” said their mother, Marsha Stringer.

Garrett, now 20 was diagnosed at age 7 and is now a 13-year survivor. Gatlin, now 14, was diagnosed at age 3 and is 11 years past his treatment.

The boys got chemo but because scans showed the disease had not spread to their spinal cords, they were spared having to have radiation.

Now, they are “amazing ... no side effects at all that we know of,” their mother said. “They’re very athletic and active and have good grades.”

one of the authors of the new guidance. Bradley, who spoke during a telephone interview while walking, said officials estimate the average Briton sits for more than half of their working hours. His group is expanding its campaign to other countries including the U.S. on Tuesday and is pushing for more people to have access to a desk that allows them to stand.

According to the guidelines, people who sit the most have more than twice the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, a 13 percent increased risk of cancer and a 17 percent increased risk of premature death, compared to those who sit the least.

Jenny Nissler, an occupational physical therapist and spokeswoman for Britain's Chartered Society of Physiotherapists, said people who sit for long stretches could be more prone to joint stiffness and back pain.

"Companies should reconsider the culture around taking regular breaks and think about whether meetings could be held standing up or walking," she said.

Bradley, who takes all his calls standing, says curbing the amount of time people spend sitting could have huge benefits, since up to 95 percent of adults in developed countries are classified as inactive.

"We've sat on this problem for far too long," he said.

City couple hopes to bust weight loss myths WESTFIELD - Patrick Tallis and Sandy Lucas of Westfield recently discovered that some long-held beliefs about maintaining a healthy weight simply are not true.

After struggling mightily with their obesity issues and feeling frustrated that applying traditional advice about diet and exercise was not working, they decided to take a fresh look at the latest available information.

“As a former runner, weightlifter and personal trainer who had studied healthy eating in depth, I was shocked at just how much I thought I knew was wrong,” said Tallis.

Once the truth is understood it becomes clear to see why there is such an epidemic of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and other chronic diseases, said Tallis.

The couple share what they learned in their “Healthy Weight Loss” class. They dispel some commonly held beliefs here: Many of these beliefs make perfect sense so they are accepted without question, but our bodies tend to defy logic.

As an example, a long held belief is that, to lose weight, one must use more calories than one consumes. That makes sense, energy in, plus or minus energy used, equals a net gain or loss. The reality is that our weight is mostly controlled by hormones that seek to keep the body in balance or homeostasis.

Those of us that are prone to gaining weight do so because our hormones

Samaritan” law that prevents people from being arrested if they are seeking medical help for themselves or another person suffering from an overdose.

“This is not unprecedented,” Campanello said. “It’s ludicrous to think otherwise.”

Gloucester’s policy, which the chief says is in effect indefinitely, also gives officers the discretion to refer addicts they encounter in the streets or in the community to the new ANGEL program rather than charge them with a crime. However, those with outstanding arrest warrants and certain individuals with three or more drug-related arrests are ineligible.

As of Monday afternoon, Campanello reported no one had yet come to the police station to turn over drugs and seek treatment.

“All you can do is extend the hand of trust and say this is how far we are willing to go,” he said. “We can’t force people to come to the police station. But we want them to know that this can be a safe haven for them.”

makes us store more energy as fat then prevent us from accessing it. When we eat, we use some of the energy and store the rest as fat. Because hormonal imbalances inhibit using the stored energy, we are hungry again soon after a meal and the cycle repeats itself as we accumulate more stored energy as fat.

Many people find themselves stuck in a self-defeating cycle of self -blame, the couple observed. For too long the message we received is, if you are fat it is because you are too weak, too lazy or too uninformed to manage your weight effectively. It is easy to blame sloth, gluttony or ignorance, but the reality is that if you are overweight, it is not your fault. The real culprit behind the obesity epidemic is decades of bad dietary advice being repeated over and over until it has become dogma. Our ‘Healthy Weight Loss’ class dispels the false beliefs that have created the national

obesity crisis. Then we show people the real reason they have gained weight.

Finally we provide them with a solution that is relatively easy to sustain over the long term. When the truth is understood, the path to reversing obesity and the many associated chronic diseases is clear.”

Since deciding to apply their new found wisdom 12 weeks ago, Lucas has lost 22 pounds and Tallis has lost 33 pounds.

“We did it without feeling hungry, tired or deprived in any way.” said Lucas. Currently classes are held at the Westfield Holiday Inn Express on Wednesdays at 2:00 or 6:30 p.m. Classes are $35 and provide all you need to change your life. Private consultations are also available. For more information, please visit: www.patricktallis.com or call Patrick or Sandy at: 413-6423500

denied the report — then backpedaled after photographic proof emerged, saying that Kerry was taking a short break from a day of working the phones.

Although Kerry likes to play up a populist streak, including his love of Bruce Springsteen and the Red Sox, he takes less care than he did as a senator to conceal some of his more patrician tastes. When visiting France, Kerry sometimes speaks the native tongue in public. On Monday he thanked his French doctors in a French-language tweet.

Reporters traveling abroad with Kerry are accustomed to seeing his classical guitar carried to and from his official plane.

The State Department has occasionally spotlighted that pastime, including by posting a video on its official account of Kerry finger-picking a piece for China’s premier last summer.

“He is who he is, he’s not going to change, and the last time I checked, authenticity is too often in short supply in this city,” Wade said. “The real question is why many of us half his age can’t keep up.”

Kerry’s latest injury raises the question of whether age and injuries — Kerry has had both hips replaced — might finally force him to slow down.

Or not.

“He’s disappointed, clearly — nobody ever wants to break a bone,” said John Kirby, the State Department’s top spokesman.

“And disappointed that he didn’t get to finish his ride.”

WHS sweeps into semis

By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The second season – where the stakes are bigger and the lights are the brightest – opened for the Westfield High School boys’ volleyball team Monday in the Whip City.

Westfield thoroughly dominated the third set, except for a few last gasps from East Longmeadow. Even three consecutive Spartans’ timeouts with the score 24-17 could not prevent the inevitable from happening.

Bucko and Shilyuk teamed up again for the winning block to officially punch Westfield’s ticket into the semifinals.

“Once we got settled in, it was a nice thing to see,” Wingate said.

Dmitriy Doroshenko finished with 15 digs for the Bombers.

Westfield advances to the semifinals where it will now host No. 3 Agawam (14-5) Wednesday at 5 p.m.

No. 2 Westfield shook off a bit of rust before serving up a 3-0 sweep of seventhseeded East Longmeadow in a Western Massachusetts Division 1 boys’ volleyball quarterfinal. The Bombers won 25-16, 25-13, 25-17.

“I don’t think we started off the way we wanted to,” said Westfield coach Tyler Wingate, whose team appeared to sleepwalk through the first set and trailed, albeit, briefly Westfield's Manny Golob, left (below), in the second set before pulling away. watches the ball dance along the top of the “In the second set we got our blocking net as East Longmeadow's Wesley Olin (7) going, our eyes were reading well, and we had attempts to make a play.

Headley managed to place a floater in the back right corner of the court for an ace.

Eric Shilyuk (30 assists) and Ryan Bucko (5 kills, 6 blocks) converged for a block to make it 21-12. It appeared only Westfield could stop itself when a service error stopped the run.

Any momentum East Longmeadow (11-8) attempted to build ended when Westfield’s Manny Golob planted one of his 17 kills for a 24-13 advantage. A Tyler Stanton ace secured the middle frame for the Bombers.

BREWERS 1, CARDINALS 0 ST. LOUIS (AP) — Mike Fiers and four relievers combined on an eight-hitter and Carlos Gomez had a first-inning RBI single in the Brewers’ victory over the Cardinals.

Fiers (2-5) allowed four hits in six innings, one shy of his season high, and won for the first time in six starts since May 2 at Chicago.

Johnathan Broxton, Neal Cotts, James Jeffress and Francisco Rodriguez combined to allow four hits without walking a batter in Milwaukee’s fourth shutout of the season.

Rodriguez finished for his ninth save.

The win comes a day after the Brewers beat Arizona in 17 innings.

Jaime Garcia (1-2) worked seven sterling innings and Kolten Wong and Mark Reynolds had two singles apiece for the Cardinals, shut out for the fifth time but first time at home where they’re among the best in the league at 20-7.

CUBS 5, MARLINS 1 MIAMI (AP) — Jason Hammel had a career-high 11 strikeouts in 6 2-3 innings, and the Cubs beat the Marlins.

With his start pushed back because of a cracked fingernail and a rainout, Hammel (4-2) pitched for the first time in eight days, and he seemed to benefit from the extra rest.

He allowed one run, four hits and no walks, lowering his ERA to 2.82.

Hammel threw 117 pitches, his highest total since 2009. Two relievers completed a sixhitter, and the Marlins struck out 13 times.

The Cubs had scored only 13 runs in their previous seven games, and they showed a little offensive life with eight hits. Starlin Castro hit his fourth homer, and Anthony Rizzo and Kris Bryant each had an RBI double.

PIRATES 4, GIANTS 3 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Gerrit Cole

struck out nine to win his third straight start, Neil Walker hit a tiebreaking two-run double in the fifth after a pair of called strikeouts, and the Pirates beat the Giants.

Andrew McCutchen had two likely hits stolen by great plays in the outfield and he instead settled for sacrifice flies against Ryan Vogelsong (4-3).

Cole (8-2) struck out the side in order in the fourth, then worked a 1-2-3 fifth before loading the bases with none out in the sixth. He got out of it with a strikeout of Brandon Belt and inducing Brandon Crawford’s inning-ending double play.

Belt’s two-run, two-out double in the first put San Francisco ahead in a rematch of the NL one-game wild card won 8-0 by the eventual champion Giants last October at PNC Park.

METS 7, PADRES 0 SAN DIEGO (AP) — Jacob deGrom took a perfect game into the sixth and allowed two hits over eight innings, leading the Mets to a win over the Padres.

The lanky right-hander struck out the first four batters and did not allow a baserunner until Clint Barmes led off the sixth with single through the right side of the infield.

After striking out rookie Austin Hedges, deGrom (6-4) induced pinch-hitter Abraham Almonte to hit a grounder back to the mound, and deGrom started an inning-ending double play to shortstop Wilmer Flores.

ANGELS 7, RAYS 3 ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Albert Pujols homered twice, and Mike Trout and David Freese also went deep for the Los Angeles Angels in a victory over the Rays, extending their winning streak to five games.

Pujols extended the Angels’ lead to 5-3 in the fifth inning with a solo shot to left off rookie Alex Colome, then hit a two-run homer

in the eighth off Andrew Bellatti to end the scoring. It was his 13th this season and 533rd of his career, one shy of Jimmie Foxx for 17th place all-time.

The three-time NL MVP, who has homered in four of his last five games, has 1,117 extrabase hits for his career — tying Foxx and Ted Williams for 16th in that department.

DODGERS 11, ROCKIES 4 DENVER (AP) — Clayton Kershaw had a career-high three hits to back his strong pitching performance and Joc Pederson lined one of Los Angeles’ four homers, helping the Dodgers beat the Rockies.

Known for his powerful left arm, Kershaw (4-3) was just as lethal at the plate. He had a double and two singles, including a run-scoring liner to left as part of a six-run sixth that broke open a tight game.

Kershaw allowed five hits and two runs over seven innings. He hasn’t lost to the Rockies in nearly two years, spanning nine starts.

Andre Ethier and Jimmy Rollins hit solo homers in the second off Kyle Kendrick (2-7), who gave up six runs — five earned — in 5 1-3 innings. He’s allowed 15 homers this season, tying James Shields for most in the majors.

BRAVES 8, DIAMONDBACKS 1 PHOENIX (AP) — Freddie Freeman homered for the second straight game and Andrelton Simmons had three hits to help the Braves to a win over the Diamondbacks.

Freeman’s two-run blast came in the fifth inning with Simmons on base, and Freeman also drove in a run with a sixth-inning single.

Simmons extended his hitting streak to 10 games, and the runs were more than enough for Alex Wood (4-2), who held the Diamondbacks to a run on seven hits in eight innings.

ASTROS 5, ORIOLES 2 HOUSTON (AP) — Evan Gattis drove in two runs in a four-run seventh inning and the Houston Astros continued their late-inning magic as they rallied for a 5-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Monday night.

The Astros have scored a major leagueleading 94 runs in the seventh inning or later this season.

They trailed by one entering the seventh before a leadoff single by Chris Carter knocked starter Ubaldo Jimenez out of the game. He was replaced by Brad Brach (3-1), who walked Luis Valbuena before a single by pinch-hitter Hank Conger loaded the bases.

George Springer singled to tie it up with one out before Jose Altuve’s sacrifice fly put Houston on top. Gattis drove in two more to make it 5-2.

Will Harris (2-0) pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings for the win and Luke Gregerson struck out two in a perfect ninth for his 14th save.

YANKEES 7, MARINERS 2 SEATTLE (AP) — Mark Teixeira hit his ninth career grand slam off Seattle ace Felix Hernandez in the fifth inning and Michael Pineda allowed two runs pitching into the seventh in the Yankees’ win over the Mariners.

The anticipated matchup between two of the top right-handers in the American League met expectations for three innings before Hernandez (8-2) fell apart in stunning fashion.

The Yankees took advantage of five walks and a wild pitch that allowed a run to score as the AL wins leader lost his rhythm following a brief rain shower that dampened Safeco Field before the retractable roof could close.

With Hernandez struggling, Teixeira didn’t miss his chance to blow the game open. With only one out in the fifth, Hernandez fell behind 2-0 and grooved a fastball to Teixeira, who hit his 15th homer of the season and sixth

The Horace Smith Fund Awards $420,000 to area students On Thursday, June 11, The Horace Smith Fund will hold its 116th Corporators’ Meeting and scholarship awards ceremony at the Carriage House at Storrowton Tavern for recipients, their parents and guidance counselors and corporators.

Wayne Webster, Chair of the Board of Trustees, announced that this year there will be 35 scholarship and five fellowship recipients.

“Providing that students maintain at least a B average in college, each scholarship provides a total of $10,000 over four years and each fellowship provides $12,000 over three years,” he said. “Therefore, The Horace Smith Fund is happy to be able to grant a total award of $420,000 to area students this year.”

“The Horace Smith Fund was established in 1899 by the successful and generous philanthropist named Horace Smith,” according to Teresa E. Regina, Chair of the Scholarship Committee. “He and Daniel Wesson were the founders of Smith & Wesson, located in Springfield. Mr. Smith’s will provided that the residual of his estate after several bequests to relatives and institutions, was to be used for public purposes at the discretion of his executors. They decided that it should be used to help deserving students finance their education.”

The scholarships and fellowships are named for Walter S. Barr, a West Springfield businessman, whose widow left the bulk of the family estate to The Horace Smith Fund in 1950. Recipients must be residents of Hampden County.

The keynote speaker will be Elizabeth Blanchette of Southwick, a 2015 graduate of Eastern Nazarene College and past recipient of the Walter S. Barr Scholarship.

This year’s scholarship recipients includes Gateway Regional’s Hannah Green and Westfield High School’s Olga Korobkov.

Students were selected on a variety of criteria, including their test scores, class rank, extra-curricular activities, and a personal written account of why the student feels deserving of financial assistance. Applications for next year’s awards will be available on September 15th on-line at www.HoraceSmithFund.org or by calling (413) 739-4222.

Annie’s Mailbox

By KATHY MITCHELL and MARCY SUGAR

Is This Abuse?

Dear Annie: My 14-year-old daughter attends an all-girls school. Her stepfather initially encouraged it, but in the past two years, my daughter has made friends with a few classmates who say they are lesbian or bisexual.

My husband is extremely conservative (borderline homophobic), and as a result, he is shaming my daughter regularly for her friendships. I have a good bond with my daughter and feel torn.

I know my husband cares about her, but his comments are hurtful. He says he will keep it up to make sure she doesn’t “become” a lesbian.

I’ve pleaded with him, tried to understand him and told him to stop, but it continues. What do I do? -- Is This Abuse?

Dear Abuse: Shaming your daughter is a form of abuse. Your husband sounds ignorant, homophobic and idiotic. Friendships with bisexual or homosexual girls will not make your daughter “become” a lesbian. But we guarantee that your husband’s bullying will push her toward rejecting everything he says, and his influence over her will diminish to nothing.

You need to stand up for your daughter more strongly. Insist that you and your husband get counseling immediately to work on this. If he refuses and will not curtail this behavior, we recommend you take your daughter and leave the house. Your husband needs to understand the consequences of his actions, and more importantly, your child should not be subjected to such emotional abuse. You are the only one who can protect her.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “G,” whose mother died and the headstone uses only the surname of her second husband. “G” was concerned that her children’s descendants won’t be able to find their grandmother’s grave because they won’t necessarily recall the second husband’s surname.

Please suggest to “G” that she check the websites www.findagrave.com and www.billiongraves.com to see whether Grandma has a memorial. If not, “G” could photograph her mother’s stone and create a memorial that mentions the surnames of both husbands, their dates of marriage, children from either marriage, etc. That will help descendants find Grandma when they wish to do so. -- A Genealogist Dear Genealogist: Thank you for the helpful suggestion.

Several readers mentioned findagrave.com, but you were the only one to list both sites. Of course, descendants need to know these online memorials exist in order to make use of them, and one never knows what the future holds when it comes to technology. But we are happy to mention both websites and appreciate being able to pass along the information to all of our readers.

Dear Annie: I read your column about prepaid funerals and wholeheartedly recommend them. I have prepaid five funerals.

My wife and I started doing this back in 1997 with our own funerals. We paid $5,100 each for our plans. My wife of 70 years passed away last year. Had we not paid in advance, her funeral would have cost $8,300. I also prepaid for my daughter’s funeral, and she was able to choose what she wanted. There is too much grief to do it at the time of death. -- R Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@creators.com.

HINTS FROM HELOISE SAFE TRANSPORT Dear Readers: On a recent business trip to Washington D.C., I stopped in to see friends at The Washington Post, which runs my column. One of the reporters had an interesting plant on top of a file cabinet. I had never seen this plant before and was amazed that it did so well with only fluorescent lighting in the newsroom. She told me she had actually saved the plant from the DEAD PLANT file! Meaning, the previous owner had given up on it: “It’s going to die.” She let me snip off a few pieces to take home.

At my hotel, I placed the trimmings in an empty coffee packet that is like foil, along with some wet tissues. I wrapped a rubber band around this, and then put it into a plastic shopping bag. Amazingly, it made it home still alive! I’ll keep you filled in on the progress of the “WASHPOST” plant, as I now call it.

-- Heloise WEDDING DRESS Dear Heloise: Our daughter is getting married. She always wanted to have a wedding dress made based on her design ideas. She also preplanned and bought extra material to save.

She hopes to use the material one day to have a christening gown made for her first child. -- Betsy W., Knoxville, Tenn.

This certainly is planning ahead, and it does seem that young girls can plan a wedding for years even before there is a groom in the picture! This hint is actually one of many I have in my Heloise’s Bridal Gown Hints and More pamphlet. You can order it online at www.Heloise.com, or by sending $3 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/ Bridal, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. My pamphlet also includes hints for how to plan a beautiful wedding on a budget. For brides buying a wedding dress, carefully inspect it before leaving the store, and get written care instructions. -- Heloise

HOROSCOPE

By Jaqueline Bigar

DOG EAT DOUG

Brian Anderson

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, June 2, 2015: This year you often see both sides of an issue. You might find yourself caught in the middle of a debate. You don’t need to play devil’s advocate. You have a very easy time convincing the majority of people of the rightness of your ideas. If you are single, your popularity is undeniable. Few can say “no” to you.

You’ll need to figure out what type of bond you want before you get involved with anyone. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy each other’s company more and more. You allow yourselves to disagree by respecting a difference of opinion. SAGITTARIUS knows how to test your patience.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie

ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett

ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Take a risk, now that you can see the big picture. Clear up any confusion by having a brainstorming session.

You easily could have a misunderstanding arise from out of the blue. Give some extra time and attention to a key person. Tonight: Respond to an inquiry.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Make an extra effort toward key people in your life. How you see a situation is likely to change as a result. You genuinely will feel more upbeat than you have in quite a while.

Avoid overspending if possible. Tonight: Be with a favorite person.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Try to tame your challenging ways in order to get past a problem that keeps reappearing. You might want to let go of an interaction that is most uncomfortable. You could find yourself in a squabble before you realize it.

Proceed with care. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Much is going on in your mind, and you could be going over the same scenario over and over again. Do whatever works in order to let go of this mental rehearsal that keeps replaying, and you will feel much better. Tonight: Put your feet up and relax.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You’ll discover the pros and cons of a situation by tapping into your ingenuity. An argument could ensue from out of nowhere. Don’t let a misunderstanding develop into anything more; the other party probably has been under a lot of pressure. Tonight: Keep the peace.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH The instinct to stay close to home or to cocoon in some way might not be a bad thing. You have personal matters to handle, and you likely will have to deal with someone who has become quite difficult. Step back and get out of the line of fire. Tonight: Make it easy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Understand that you can say what you think, but you can’t control others’ reactions. Honor a change in upcoming plans, or perhaps you will want to take the time to make plans for a long-desired getaway. Tonight: Keep a conversation as nonjudgmental as possible.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might want to try a different approach or a new way of handling a problem. You could be quite exhausted by recent events. Remember that just because someone doesn’t agree with you, it doesn’t mean you are wrong. Tonight: Make it your treat.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Go after what you want, but expect to get some flak from a loved one. This person simply does not agree with you right now. Take an overview, and you might be able to present the issue in a way that this person can understand. Tonight: Stay on top of a problem.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH A discussion will allow others to express their feelings and support. You might need to have a brainstorming session with someone who likes to play devil’s advocate.

Understand what is going on in your immediate circle. Tonight: Take a night off from everything.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You could be dragged down by a situation that becomes difficult, as someone might want to express his or her views and get your approval. You’ll be able to prevent a volatile interaction if you choose to. Allow a sense of humor to come into play. Tonight: Hang with friends.

Cryptoquip

Crosswords

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You’ll greet someone with a great deal of deference.

You might be ready to move in a new direction, but someone is likely to disagree with your choice. You will hear about it in no uncertain terms. You both see the matter in a different light.

Tonight: Go with the unexpected.
