BPW approves road work changes

District principals make budget requests By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A $6,513,734 budget request was presented to the School Committee Monday by Ronald Rix, the district’s director of technology and business services, on behalf of the district’s principals. The total is to be spread out district-wide between new personnel ($1,749,000), programs and materials ($779,590), technology ($1,320,914), maintenance ($1,410,330), and equipment ($1,253,900). “In these times it’s important that you have absolute transparency going forward,” said Westfield Superintendent Dr. Suzanne Scallion. “We know that it’s out of reach for this year, but there will be a day that a grant or funds from the federal or state government will come to us and say ‘we’ve been RON RIX wanting to do this project, this building for a couple of years now, and it’s time’.” “We owe it to the citizens of this city, we owe it to the staff, we owe it to kids in the city, to know what it is that we need to be doing,” Scallion said. Scallion said that the $6.5 million requested is higher than the level service in place this year, and that the list of requests will again be presented at the April 14 budget meeting. “These are real needs for our schools in the 21st century,” said committee member Cindy Sullivan. “It’s a very comprehensive list. It’s computer licenses, it’s Imagine Learning, it’s things we’re already doing…” “We have a lot of schools in this district — two high schools, two middle schools, nine elementary schools, plus Fort Meadow — and I don’t think the general public realizes how much money it takes to run (these schools),” she said. “It looks like we have allotted $54 million, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg of what we need to educate our kids.” See Budget, Page 3

City celebrates spring with egg hunt By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Peter Cottontail will be very busy this weekend as the city prepares for the 20th Annual Easter Egg Hunt. Mayor Daniel M. Knapik, in conjunction with Shaker Farms Country Club, has planned the egg hunt, which will be held on Saturday, April 12 at Shaker Farms Country Club. Line up for the egg hunt will begin at 11 a.m. and the egg hunt will begin promptly at 11:15 a.m. The Easter Bunny will arrive at 11:30. In case of rain, the egg hunt will be held on Sunday, April 13, at 11 a.m. Students in the National Technical Honor Society at Westfield Vocational Technical High School helped the Easter Bunny prepare for the big event last week by stuffing hundreds of brightly colored plastic eggs with assorted candy. Society Advisor Matt Gomes said there are 17 members of the Technical Honor Society at the school. To be eligible, students must maintain a certain grade point average, among other requirements. “They need to display consistent behaviors separate from their achievements and their application must include recommendations from both their academic and shop teachers,” said Gomes. “Juniors and seniors are eligible and there is a volunteer requirement,” Gomes added. WVTHS student Antonio Rivera helped stuff eggs last week and said volunteering was something he enjoyed. “The community does so much for us, we want to give back – the students here are all about helping others,” Rivera said of the honor society. Rivera said the egg hunt is an event that brings joy to children, which has a special place in his heart. “We liked when people did these things for us when we were younger, so it’s nice to be ale to do this,” he said. This event draws hundreds of children annually and has become a strong tradition in Westfield. There are separate egg hunt areas, divided by age

groups, several games, and arts and crafts are available after the egg hunt. Parents and children may also enjoy hot chocolate and juice refreshments provided by Mt. Moriah Lodge of Westfield. The Egg Hunt is made possible through the generosity of many local businesses, including Westfield Gas and Electric, and the Kiwanis Club of Westfield and the employees of Westfield City Hall.

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Board of Public Works approved two change orders to road improvement projectslast night at the request of the Engineering Department. City Engineer Mark Cressotti presented detail of the two contract amendments, one for Western Avenue and the other for the Feeding Hills section of the Route 187 reconstruction project, to the board members. Cressotti requested the board to approve change order #2 for the Western Avenue project, adding $29,000 to the cost of engineering. The state Department of Transportation (DOT) has accepted the city’s decision to break the Western Avenue reconstruction project into separate phases because the work will be funded from different sources. Cressotti said the first phase, which will focus on the road improvement between Lloyds’ Hill Road and Bates Road, is being financed through a $2 million federal earmark originally secured to construct an access road from Route 20 to Westfield State University. The DOT is requesting modification to the intersection of Lloyds’ Hill and Russell Road (Route 20) and the city is interested in other improvements, such as construction of a sidewalk. “We’ve added Lloyds’ Hill to the scope of engineering service and need to get the 25 percent submission to the DOT to get this project on the books within another week or two,” Cressotti said. “This piece is using the See BPW, Page 3

Ward reps weigh in on Westfield State By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – According to the Westfield State University website, Westfield State is dedicated to being an informative, accessible and vibrant community partner and good neighbor, and invites the community to “join us in making the neighborhood and city a beacon of educational and cultural opportunities.” But after a March 24 meeting at Landsdowne Place, the Thomas Street apartment complex that houses 200 Westfield State students, and the subsequent media coverage of that meeting, campus initiatives and student volunteerism are taking a back seat to accusations of public drunkenness and rowdy parties, as spring weekend looms. See Westfield State, Page 5

By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Monday evening saw first-year Westfield High School Principal Jonathan Carter step to the podium at the Westfield School Committee meeting and announce to thunderous applause that his school would be the recipient of a collection of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education grants totaling $545,352.53 for the school year 2014, with another $105,000 pending. The grants were obtained through the Massachusetts Math and Science Initiative (MMSI) and the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center, with the MMSI funding totaling in $445,916.53 to be implemented over the next three years. The funds will go toward continuing to improve the institution’s Advanced Placement programs, along with professional development for WHS teachers. The Mass. Life Sciences Center

grant of $99,436 will arrive during the 2015 school year and was given to Carter last Friday at Western New England University in Springfield. Carter stood before the school committee and also announced that his institution, the second largest in western Massachusetts, expects to acquire additional STEM-related competitive grant awards during this current school year, through the National Science Foundation, which will go toward implementing the Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) Global STEM Classroom program and the Massachusetts Biotechnology Education Foundation. Pending approval, the National Science Foundation’s grant will bring in $100,000 over the next three years, while the Mass. Biotechnology Education Foundation will award the school $5,000 as the BioTeach Innovative School of the Year, also pending

approval. The acquisition of these latter two awards would bring the total haul Jonathan to $650,352.53 B. Carter in STEMrelated competitive grant awards for the 2014 school year. “Eighty percent of the jobs in our region in 21st century are going to require a strong foundation in STEM education,” said Carter. “We think that this very generous donation tells us that these folks are serious about making a sizeable investment in Westfield.” John Smolenski, director of the Massachusetts Math and Science Initiative, made a presentation highlighting goals of his organization for WHS and stressing the importance of AP courses.

Computer support call leads to burglary arrest DOVER, N.H. (AP) — Mike Witonis got an email from Apple thanking him for calling customer service about his laptop computer. Problem is, someone had stolen it from him a year earlier. Police eventually arrested 24-year-old Casey Wentworth of Portsmouth on Monday and charged him with burglary. He’s accused of taking the laptop from Witonis’ home in Dover in February 2013. When the break-in happened, police said they couldn’t identify any suspects. Detectives contacted Apple and the laptop’s serial number was flagged. When Witonis got the email, he contacted police, who said the person who called customer service used the serial number of the stolen computer. Witonis tells WMUR-TV (http://bit. ly/1k2NLgi ) the discovery was sort of shocking. Wentworth is scheduled to be arraigned on May 2. It wasn’t immediately known if he had a lawyer.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Wednesday, April 9, the 99th day of 2014. There are 266 days left in the year.

n April 9, 1914, the Tampico Incident took place as eight U.S. sailors were arrested by Mexican authorities for allegedly entering a restricted area and held for a short time before being released. Although Mexico offered a verbal apology, the U.S. demanded a more formal show of contrition; tensions escalated to the point that President Woodrow Wilson sent a naval task force to invade and occupy Veracruz, which in turn led to the downfall of Mexican President Victoriano Huerta.

On this date: In 1413, the coronation of England’s King Henry V took place in Westminster Abbey. In 1682, French explorer Robert de La Salle claimed the Mississippi River Basin for France. In 1865, Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered his army to Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House in Virginia. In 1913, the first game was played at Ebbets Field, the newly built home of the Brooklyn Dodgers, who lost to the Philadelphia Phillies, 1-0. In 1939, singer Marian Anderson performed a concert at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., after being denied the use of Constitution Hall by the Daughters of the American Revolution. In 1942, during World War II, American and Philippine defenders on Bataan capitulated to Japanese forces; the surrender was followed by the notorious Bataan Death March.

In 1959, NASA presented its first seven astronauts: Scott Carpenter, Gordon Cooper, John Glenn, Gus Grissom, Wally Schirra, Alan Shepard and Donald Slayton. Architect Frank Lloyd Wright, 91, died in Phoenix, Ariz. In 1963, British statesman Winston Churchill was proclaimed an honorary U.S. citizen by President John F. Kennedy. (Churchill, unable to attend, watched the proceedings live on television in his London home.) In 1983, the space shuttle Challenger ended its first mission with a safe landing at Edwards Air Force Base in California. In 1984, “Terms of Endearment” won five Academy Awards, including best picture, best actress for Shirley MacLaine and best supporting actor for Jack Nicholson. Robert Duvall won best actor for “Tender Mercies” while Linda Hunt won best supporting actress for playing a male character in “The Year of Living Dangerously.” In 1996, in a dramatic shift of purse-string power, President Bill Clinton signed a line-item veto bill into law. (However, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the veto in 1998.) In 2005, Britain’s Prince Charles married longtime love Camilla Parker Bowles, who took the title Duchess of Cornwall.

Ten years ago:

Four employees of Halliburton subsidiary KBR were killed in an attack on a fuel truck convoy near Baghdad; a U.S. soldier in the convoy, Sgt. Elmer Krause, was found dead weeks later. Four people went missing, including Army Spec. Keith M. Maupin, whose remains were found in 2008. The body of civilian truck driver William Bradley was found in January 2005; Thomas Hamill escaped his captors in May 2004; Timothy Bell remains unaccounted for.

Five years ago:

North Korea’s rubber-stamp parliament appointed Kim Jong Il to a third term as leader. Los Angeles Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart, 22, and two others were killed in a car crash by a suspected drunken driver. (Andrew Thomas Gallo was convicted of three counts of second-degree murder and sentenced to 51 years to life in prison.)

One year ago:

Thirteen people were shot to death during a pre-dawn, house-to-house rampage in the Serbian village of Velika Ivanca; authorities identified the gunman as Ljubisa Bogdanovic, a 60-year-old veteran of the Balkan wars, who took his own life. Fourteen people were injured by a knife-wielding attacker at Lone Star College in Cypress, Texas; suspect Dylan Quick faces trial. Connecticut’s women’s basketball team won its eighth NCAA championship with a 93-60 rout of Louisville at New Orleans Arena.

Continued from Page 1 earmarked money and is not competing with other projects in the state.” “The next phase, the eastern piece, will be competing for funds against other communities which have projects,” Cressotti said, “so it behooves us to get that into the (DOT funding) queue.” The board approved the $29,000 change order to the engineering consultant, Milone & McBroom of the Springfield office, to provide those additional services. The Board also approved change order #10 to the Route 187 reconstruction project for engineering services being provided by Alfred Benesch & Company. The DOT recently selected a contractor, but has yet to issue an order to proceed to that construction company. Cressotti said that the change order is needed because the DOT has selected Benesch to

provide construction supervision for the $4.5 million Feeding Hills Road phase of the reconstruction project. The DOT has broken the Route 187 work into three phases because of the cost of the total project. The first phase is three-quarters of a mile long and encompasses Feeding Hills Road from the Agawam city line to just short of the Old Feeding Hills Road intersection. That phase includes extensive construction of new stormwater drainage systems. The second phase is reconstruction of Little River Road, while the third phase is the construction of a new bridge over Great Brook. The Board approved the change order for an additional $75,800 because of the increase scope of service required for construction oversight.

STEM Grants Continued from Page 1 “This is what counts in college admissions. This is what the Professional Association of College Admissions Counselors, what they think is important,” Smolenski said. “The number one thing is the courses you take in high school — the more rigorous, the better.” After the committee broke into executive session, Carter was able to speak on what the funding will mean for the STEM programs on Montgomery Road. “It’s huge. It’s epic.” Carter said. “I told you at the beginning of the year, ‘just wait, we’ve got plans’.” Carter stated that 13 other schools around the Commonwealth received grants from MMSI, but that the funds received by WHS came as no surprise to him. “For a school our size, this is a lot of money,” he said. “Per capita, it’s right on par with where we expect to be to grow the program. We’re the second biggest high school in western Mass. after Springfield Central.” “We’re excited simply because this is going to act as seed money to lay our foundation for how we plan to move forward in developing STEM education,” he said.

Budget Continued from Page 1 “Every year when I was a principal, we would develop a budget of our needs and present it to the superintendent, and it would get whittled down to fit into the budget,” said Rix after the meeting. “This is the first time in years that we’re bringing it forward to the public. Now in the budget process for next week, we’re going to incorporate whatever we can of that into it by moving and balancing.” “There are still going to be needs out there,” he said. “Some of it’s in the MSBA proposal, others we’re looking at grants, some maintenance, but I want to keep it as a live document to knock it off.” “It’s just going to make the school committee aware of what the needs are,” he said. “If we don’t bring it forward in this process, they’ll never get toSarah see all Helps of it, andSeniors it ties into where some ofCan their priYou orities are.

COMMENT

Hi! I’m calling about the recent article about the upgrades and going green at Powdermill Village in Westfield on Union Street. While their efforts are commendable I need to correct one thing: I don’t believe that the loans they have received are paid by Powdermill. I believe they are passed on to the tenants because each year Powedermill petitions to raise and increase their rents for the cost of installing clean energy gas in their complex. This increase gets passed on to the tenants by huge rent increases. I have a disabled child who has been on a Section 8 waiting list for 10 years, who pays $840 in rent, whose rent was increased $79 last year. And I’m sure they’ll start to petition to increase everyone’s rent again this year. So, while their efforts are commendable, this is passed on to the tenants. Thank you very much. Hi PulseLine! A while ago I had posted that I lost a hat that was very special to me and I have gone back to Big Y weekly to see if it was found. Happily, today, I was able to go to the courtesy desk and it had been returned. It seems that woman that does not live in Westfield found it and showed it to a reader that reads The Westfield News and she not only returned it to Big Y but had it dry cleaned for me also, because of the winter conditions. A special thank-you to the woman called Andrea that brought it back and that Westfield News reader that told her about it. Thank you. Bye-bye. I read with great interest in today’s Westfield News regarding the Domus project on Broad Street. And I also read where the city council voted on February 10th to allot $80,000 of city funds from the Community Preservation Act for this project. And my question to the city council men and women is: are you all high? is this what is best for the city of Westfield? I don’t think so. To ensure that our readers understand your point, you are against providing homeless high school students a place to live? One student’s parents decided to move away and left their kid behind to fend for himself and he needs a place to live while he finishes high school. It would behoove you to learn more about these students before making such remarks. Yes, I was just reading Tuesday night’s Westfield News about the elevator at city hall. Can you tell me what the hell is going on with this building inspector and the mayor of Westfield for not having this done a few weeks ago? I just don’t know what is going on anymore. Now if that was Rick Sullivan as mayor, he would have looked into it right away and had it taken care of. This Knapik has been re-elected for what? The roads are in bad condition like other cities. But this elevator problem bothers me. Because if I have to go to the third floor up three flights of stairs, that would be kind of tough for me and elderly people. So they better get on the stick and get this done and give the state a kick in the ass to get them going. This is not right for the people who pay our taxes. And I want to thank Mary O’Connell of Ward 4, I believe it is. She was the councilwoman who followed through with this to a certain point and she’s very upset about it. So I want to thank her for at least trying to get this situation taken care of. Thank you. Hi. I was just calling about Stanley Park. I don’t know who is in charge of it now but they’ve cut down tons and tons of trees up in the rose garden. It looks horrible. It reminds me of the Green in Westfield, where there is no trees. They took down everything that took years and years and years to grow. It is a big fat mess up here. Ah yes, one more thought while I’m walking around Stanley Park: I’m looking at the pond. I was just thinking, I don’t know why I never thought of this years ago. Why don’t they keep this clean in the winter and take off all the leaves and sticks? They could have a skating pond for the kids and adults to skate on for the whole winter for free. When I grew up near Hartford, there was, I forgot the name of the park, at the rose garden they had places for people to skate there. They could do that here. Why haven’t they? Just curious. Our answer re: the oak trees from when you called in about this in January can be found here: http:// thewestfieldnews.com/?p=69554. “We would like to invite the caller as well others to stop by the office or call me directly @ 413568-9312 x102 and I will be glad to fill them of our plans and reasons for our maintenance & operating schedule in progress. Being a private park and not part of the city, state, or federal government, it is difficult to maintain our 300 acres. We do not charge for admission as some area parks do but we do have some fees for specific use of the park for weddings, as an example. We rely on donations and other financial support. One way this caller could help is to become a member of our ‘Partner in Preservation’ program. This August we will reach our 65th year of being open to the public. You can imagine if anyone would let their property go and not at least have a pro-active process of maintaining their grounds and buildings just how bad it might look and be in need of major costly care. If we do not continue with progressive and logical maintenance process, Stanley Park may not be here for our younger generations to enjoy. We are grateful to the previous generations who did so much for us way back starting in 1949. Now it is our turn to ‘pay it forward’. Addressing the current removal of trees. Many of these trees had roots (in fact we found tree trunks on top of other older tree trunks) coming up though the roadways that are also used for our walkers and runners. Repairs had become critical for safety and appearance. Included in our plan, is the replacement of some of these trees (in fact they are already on order) and the resurface of the road area near the Rose Garden will be done in a few weeks. There are many other roadways that need attention, but the cost is astronomical, so we have a plan to complete these on a balanced yearly process. The Park officially closes the last Sunday in November and opens the first Saturday in May. We keep one gate open for walkers to enjoy some of the areas during this off season, but do not open the entire facility year round. We have very few full-time employees and increase the part-time staff in the summer. The reason we can accomplish this under these employee limits is due to having the utmost dedicated individuals on staff, along with a very supportive Board of Directors and with out a doubt, the best group of volunteers an organization could ask for! Our wildlife ducks, geese, & swan remain in the pond area year round. There is a major influx of them during these winter months and we make sure they have an area of open water for their habitat. At this time, due to budget constraints, we cannot keep the pond areas open during the winter months for skating. If we all took the time to look into the operation of any organization or business, we would be able to then fully understand how and why certain procedures are followed. As I mentioned, my door is always open and I invite anyone to stop by. I will be glad to meet with you and listen to your concerns, comments and take them all into consideration for operational discussion. We sincerely thank all our supporters and our members of the ‘Partner in Preservation’ program.” – Bob McKean, Managing Director

Roberts gets the parties started By Jake Sherman and Anna Palmer Politico.com Republican Party committees are getting their groove back, thanks to John Roberts. Insiders are dreaming up how to maximize a recent Supreme Court ruling that frees up some big donors to give even more. A prominent idea: create a new class of donors who contribute a total of six- or seven-figure donations to each of three party committees and spread cash to endangered lawmakers. In exchange, the big-money givers would get something of an “all access pass” that comes with perks from the big three national committees, like face time with top officials. Lawyers and leaders of the committees have held meetings and are crafting a plan to boost contributions before the November elections, according to multiple sources. The moves are early signs that the national party committees are making a comeback after years of stumbling and shrinking in an era of super PACs. The Supreme Court allowed unlimited money to flow into super PACs years ago, and a new decision last week lifts the caps on the total amount of money an individual can give to political campaigns, PACs and parties. Republicans say the new rules will let them compete with Democratic committees, which have often outraised them. “It could help us catch up because there are people who want to help us, and maybe want to help the Democrats, who have been kept from expressing their full opinion on politics monetarily,” said Rep. Steve Stivers (R-Ohio), the national finance chairman of the National Republican Campaign Committee. Lawyers from the Republican National Committee, the National Republican Senatorial Committee and the NRCC are designing a joint fundraising agreement that could be formed by the summer, sources said. The leaders of the three committees — Reince Preibus, Sen. Jerry Moran of Kansas and Rep. Greg Walden of Oregon, respectively, dialed into a conference call last week to discuss details, according to sources familiar with the talks. Savvy House Republican fundraisers are also in the early stages of forming state-focused joint fundraising committees to distribute checks from large-scale national donors. One lawmaker, speaking anonymously to discuss early political plans, said the party’s top fundraisers can now persuade their donors to give to junior members — and build chits in the Capitol for leadership races. Democrats are getting in on it, too. They sent legal guidance to megadonors reviewing the new rules, according to a Democratic lobbyist who received the packet. “We’ll play by the same rules they’re playing by,” said Rep. Steve Israel of New York, the chairman of the House Democrats’ campaign arm. “Then, when we get in the majority, we’ll pass legislation that takes money out of politics. But until then, I don’t believe in unilateral surrender.” Institutional Republicans have been particularly hobbled by the increasing prominence of super PACs, but the decision handed

down in McCutcheon v. FEC has put new pep in the GOP’s step. Party committees — which have been around for a century — have lost relevance in recent years. Super PACs were snapping up most of the attention — and the cash — from wealthy donors. The Supreme Court’s McCutcheon decision, which landed last week, represents the first jolt of energy to party committees in many years. It not surprising that the Republican party committees are looking to take advantage of the court’s decision. The RNC pushed the lawsuit after its chairman, Priebus, was making calls for contributions in 2011, trying to pay off the debt left by his predecessor, Michael Steele. The RNC in particular could see a financial benefit in the 2014 cycle because large donors often look to the give to the Senate and House party committees in a midterm cycle when the focus is on Congress, according to GOP operatives. Of course, getting megadonors to pony up even more cash than they already are will come at a different price — political perks. Presidential campaigns have long come up with gimmicks to woo donors, including campaign swag, branded groups for top-tier bundlers like Rangers and Pioneers, and retreats putting donors in close proximity to candidates. In the past, a donor of this magnitude would have to choose two recipients for their largess. Now, they can offer joint events with top leaders from the House, Senate and the RNC, according to Republican insiders. These insiders estimate that there are dozens of donors looking to shell out more dough. Democratic lobbyist Tony Podesta, who is also a major party donor, said that Democrats will be hobbled over the next two years. President Barack Obama banned federal lobbyists from contributing to the DNC. “One can save more money as a Democratic lobbyist than as Republican lobbyist, at least until the next president arrives on the scene,” Podesta said. Still, not only will the party committees benefit from new infusions of cash, so will candidates across the country. Several Republican operatives said the new rules will vastly increase the political map for donors. Whereas top Republican donors could previously only give $5,200 to 14 candidates, they can now spread money to other candidates, in states like Minnesota and Montana, that might not have previously been considered top-tier races. House Republicans say they will inform their top donors of top-tier races and encourage the contributors to give. Before this decision, federal law capped the total amount a single donor could give at $48,600 to candidate committees and $74,600 in contributions to PACs and party committees in each two-year cycle. Donors still can give only $5,200 per candidate and $32,400 to each party committee in the 2014 cycle. NRCC insiders say they will begin urging these big-money donors to give $5,200 to as many of its most vulnerable incumbents as they can. Democrats seem as though they’re approaching the task with a sense of gloom.

House passes unemployment reform Rates freeze remains priority

By John Regan blog.aimnet.org The Massachusetts House of Representatives recently joined the state Senate in passing legislation to freeze Unemployment Insurance rates and avert a $500 million tax increase on employers that took effect on January 1. Unemployment InsuranceIssue closed right? Well, not so much. The two branches disagree about how to wrap that freeze into a broader set of reforms to the state’s costly UI system, so employers still find themselves staring down the barrel of a 33 percent jump in UI taxes. Lawmakers will eventually work out their differences in a conference committee, but that process is complicated because House and Senate have passed different bills dealing with UI reform and a minimum-wage increase. “The priority for the Legislature must be to freeze Unemployment Insurance rates for 2014 before employers pay first-quarter UI taxes. Otherwise, the economy will be saddled with an unnecessary tax increase at a time when the fund used to pay jobless benefits is financially stable,” said Richard C. Lord, President and Chief Executive Officer of Associated Industries of Massachusetts. The House voted 123-24 last night to pass a bill that would freeze UI rates, introduce modest reforms of the Unemployment Insurance system, and raise the Massachusetts minimum wage from the current $8 per hour to $10.50 per hour over three years. The Senate passed legislation in February to increase the minimum wage to $11 per hour over three years and then link it to the rate of inflation. The House UI reform package would: • Expand the wage base upon which UI benefits are calculated from $14,000 to $15,000 in 2015. • Incorporate an expanded rate table previously passed by the Senate that would make rates more dependent on the hiring and firing record of individual companies. Rates for 2015, 2016 and 2017 would be frozen at Schedule C on the new table. • Retain the current one-year window for determining the experience rating of employers.

• Prohibit self-employed “persons of influence” from laying themselves off on a seasonal basis and collecting unemployment benefits. Neither the House nor the Senate bills include provisions supported by AIM to reduce the maximum duration of benefit weeks from 30 to 26 or increase the time people must work before collecting benefits. AIM opposes increases to the state minimum wage. Lord called the House vote a “step in the right direction” toward addressing UI rates that are among the highest in the nation. “We are gratified that both the House and Senate have passed Unemployment Insurance reform. Employers did not get everything they wanted, but we look forward to continuing the conversation with Beacon Hill lawmakers in the months ahead,” Lord said.

Westfield State “There was a lot of good, constructive feedback,” said Victoria Landry, a junior communication major from Milford said of the recent Neighborhood Advisory Board meetings. “With the event being the first of its kind, it was something that we’ll definitely take for next year and keep working with it.” Several members of the board, which is made up of both students and city residents, double as city councilors whose wards are populated with university students. They spoke highly of the event, but believed there were certain areas that can improved upon for future meetings. “I wish there more local residents, and local businesses didn’t have a rep,” said Ward 3 Councilor Brian Hoose. “You can’t resolve a problem if you don’t know what it is.” Hoose’s ward extends south from the Westfield River to West Silver Street, as well as west along Route 20 to the Russell border, and is also home to several enclaves of off-campus students, much like Ward 2, the downtown domain of Councilor Ralph Figy. Perhaps no ward in the city deals with the university quite

Global Youth Services Day Dear Annie: Did you know that an estimated 16 million youth participate in volunteer activities in the U.S. every year, and that by volunteering these young people will perform better in school? These amazing kids do everything from collecting gently used books and developing literacy programs to creating anti-bullying campaigns in school districts. All of these remarkable youth have a common goal: to raise awareness and solve the problems facing the world today. To celebrate their ingenuity, idealism and passion, please remind your readers that Global Youth Service Day (GYSD) will take place April 11-13, 2014. Last year, young people around the world came together and participated in nearly 3,500 projects. Additionally, thousands of community partners in more than 135 countries brought together millions of young people to strengthen their communities through the power of youth volunteering. For more information, your readers can visit www.GYSD. org. -- Sincerely, Steven A. Culbertson, President and CEO, Youth Service America Dear Steven Culbertson: Thanks so much for letting us once again mention Global Youth Service Day. Young people all over the world do such fantastic and helpful volunteer work, not only on this day, but every day of the year. Global Youth Service Day provides more opportunities for everyone to get involved. We hope all of our readers, young and old, teachers and students, will check out your website. Dear Annie: We have two grandchildren, a 2-year-old daughter of our son and a 2-year-old son of our daughter. The girl is four months older than her cousin. We adore them both. The girl is smart and emotionally, physically and educationally way ahead of our grandson. She speaks in clearly understood sentences and already knows her alphabet and numbers. Our grandson, however, speaks very few words, cannot string words together to make a sentence and obviously is behind. They are both in preschool. The argument is this. If our granddaughter continues on this bright path, she may test well for kindergarten ahead of her 5th birthday. Our daughter and my wife both think this would be horrible, and they want our son to hold his daughter back a year so that she will be in the same class as our grandson. I say my daughter and wife are the ones being horrible. No child should be held back if she is ready. And furthermore, there is no guarantee that our grandson will be ready when he is 5. Do they keep holding back his cousin? -- Spinning the Wheel in Pennsylvania Dear Spinning: Your daughter is jealous that her niece is so much more advanced than her son, but please reassure her that this is meaningless. Toddler girls often progress faster than boys in these areas. And when a child is 2 years old, a fourmonth age difference is enormous. These competitive arguments are pointless. Your granddaughter should not be held back for her cousin’s sake. He won’t care unless his mother and grandmother foolishly make it a cause for resentment. He’ll catch up. And the girl’s advanced knowledge may do her little good if there is no accelerated or gifted program. The kids should progress at their own rates. Now please tell your wife that the only wise decision is for the two of you to stay out of it. Dear Annie: Just wanted to add my opinion to “Em from Indy” on handling silverware, whether hand-washed or put in the dishwasher. I believe silverware should always be put in with the handles up. This is so that when you reach to put them away, your hands are touching the handles and not the fork tines, spoon bowls or knife blades. People don’t appreciate knowing that your hands were on the parts that go into their mouths. -- From a Dietitian

HINTS FROM HELOISE Self-Cleaning Oven Has Drawbacks Dear Heloise: I love the SELFCLEANING FEATURE on my oven. I have noticed, though, that sometimes I have a lot of smoke and smells that linger in the house during and after the cleaning cycle. Do you have any hints? -- Emily D. in Oklahoma There are some things that you can do. Try not to let too much time pass between cleanings. The more food spills that build up in the oven, stuck to the bottom, the more chance of smoke and fumes during the self-cleaning. If there are a lot of spills, try cleaning it as much as possible before starting the cleaning. Then, during cleaning, open some windows to help get out the heat, smoke and odors. -- Heloise COUNTERTOP PROTECTION Dear Heloise: I have discovered a great use for those pizza stones that many people have but find useless except for cooking pizzas. Whenever I use a slow cooker or a tabletop cooking appliance (for example, an electric indoor grill), I place my pizza stone beneath it to protect my countertop from heat. Works like a charm, and makes me feel better about the cooker staying on for so long in my absence. -- Carolyn B., via email

DOG EAT DOUG

Brian Anderson

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, April 9, 2014: This year you are unusually creative and intuitive. You find solutions quickly and without much worry. Others will notice this trait and come to you for help when they feel they have encountered one of life’s knots. If you are single, the period after mid-July could draw in someone very important to your life history. You might note that this person is very different from other people you have dated in the past. If you are attached, you enjoy your home life together much more than you previously thought possible. Come summer, romantic fires add to the attraction between you. LEO can be quite charming.

ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You have get-up-and-go. Somehow, you can’t help but surprise others with your actions. Someone close to you could be quite competitive or difficult. Let go of the situation, and allow an important discussion to take place another time. Tonight: Time to be naughty. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Stay focused on what you feel is important and must be handled right away. Do not lose focus on a domestic issue. You could be taken aback by what occurs if you ignore the matter at hand. Be more forthright with someone you care about. Tonight: At home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Listen to a conversation on many levels. Look at facial expressions, consider the tone of voice and pay attention to what is not being said. You will see that there are many facets to what you are hearing. Be creative in a discussion. Tonight: If you are tired, head home. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You could be financially exhausted by a situation. Listen to news with an open mind, especially if it involves your finances. Understand more of what you expect from a child or new friend. You could be demanding a lot. Tonight: Be more playful. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You will encounter a sudden surprise, and you’ll discover everything that is involved with the situation. Be more open to someone who seems to be on a rampage. This person might be justified in his or her actions. Listen carefully. Tonight: Your smile warms up the moment. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Know when to approach a situation differently. Others might reveal a lot, perhaps even more than you could imagine. If you question what you hear, people might become somewhat resistant. Be nonchalant, if you know what is good for you. Tonight: Not to be found. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH A discussion with a friend will provide ample material for a new project or fun happening. You might not be as sure of yourself as you would like to be. Stay more in contact with a group of associates or friends than you have in the past. Tonight: Make the most of the night. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You’ll be more in touch with someone’s feelings than you realize. Others will seem so emotional that you might think they are out of control. You could be suppressing some anger, and it is bound to come out at some point. Tonight: A must appearance. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH You are more than willing to take risks in your present mood. Fortunately, you’ll become more conservative when you take a hard look at financial implications. Sometimes you feel overwhelmed by the amount of responsibility that is placed on you. Tonight: Follow the music. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You have done your share of the effort when it comes to relating to a specific person. No one would be surprised if you decided to throw your hands in the air in frustration. Everyone has his or her limits. Tonight: Have a conversation with a trusted friend. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You might be more receptive to a friend than you have been in a while. Keep reaching out to someone at a distance, and make the most of the conversation. Others will seek you out, so much

Cryptoquip

Crosswords

so that you could need to screen your calls. Tonight: Be merry. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You might be surer of yourself and more content if you would let go of an issue that stands between you and a loved one. Be more in touch with a need to move in a new direction, but understand that you might not be ready to act just yet. Tonight: Run errands on the way home.
