Business project permits pushed off By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Planning Board voted last night to continue the public hearing on permits petitioned to allow further commercial development at a former Springfield Road car dealership. The hearing was continued to the board’s Sept. 2 meeting to allow board members to study the findings and condition that will be attached to the permits requested by Julie and Nabil Hannoush for the proposed reuse of the former Balise dealership as a retail complex. The couple, represented by Rob Levesque of R. Levesque Associates, is seeking permits from the Planning Board to construct an additional retail space on the 11.36-acre site at 99 Springfield Road. The proposal is for construction of three new buildings to house a variety of businesses, such as banking, professional offices and retail space. The City Council has already issued a special permit for a fitness center in the existing building where a restaurant, batting cage and sports equipment retail store are already in operation. The Conservation Commission has also issued an order of conditions because the property is located on the banks of a wetland resource area, the Westfield River. See Project Permits, Page 8

Town Beach open through Sunday By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – The Town Beach is open this week after closing last weekend because of elevated levels of bacteria. Parks and Recreation Commissioner Daniel Call said the bacteria levels on South Pond where the beach is located are not supposed to be higher than 250 points. “They are supposed to be under 100, but they can’t be over 250 and this was over that,” said Call. The bacteria was naturally occurring, mainly due to recent weather changes. Call said rain followed by humidity causes the levels to rise. The other reason is the Canadian geese that flock to the beach after hours. “When there’s no one here, the geese come and they like the beach and grass and their waste creates the bacteria,” said Call.
The geese also search for crumbs of food left behind during the day. Call said the Commission has a plan to try to curtail the problem. “We’re going to try to use reflective fencing next year,” he said. “We will put it about four feet into the water and about four feet up onto the beach.” The fencing would be put up after hours by beach staff and taken down in the morning. Call said the Commission would seek advice from an expert before making a purchase. The Town Beach, located at 14 Beach Road, is open Monday thru Friday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday, Sunday and Holidays 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Life guards on duty at all times. Minors need to be accompanied by an adult at all times. Call said the last day the beach will be open this season is Sunday, Aug. 24. When the season is over, Call said improvements, including painting, will take place.
BOSTON — Today, Undersecretary of Housing and Community Development Aaron Gornstein announced the launch of www. MyMassMortgage.org, a website developed to assist potential homebuyers purchase their first home. The website, created under the Mass Mortgage Compact announced by Governor Deval Patrick, will provide information on finding affordable and reliable state sponsored mortgage products. “This website offers a very concrete reinforcement of the Patrick Administration’s commitment to affordable homeownership,” said Aaron Gornstein, Undersecretary for the Department of Housing and Community Development. “Potential first time homebuyers can find the critical information they need to make an informed decision about this hugely important investment in their futures. I congratulate MassHousing, Massachusetts Housing Partnership and CHAPA for their work in bringing this to fruition, and all the lenders who are participating in the Homeownership Compact.” “Buying a home is one of the most important financial transactions any consumer will make in their lifetime. It is crucial that homebuyers know the resources available to them to help
them make the most informed decision,” said Undersecretary of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation Barbara Anthony. “The MyMassMortgage website is a great tool that walks consumers through the process of finding and financing a home.” In June 2013, Governor Patrick announced the Mass Mortgage Compact, creating a goal of providing 10,000 mortgage loans to qualified first-time homebuyers over the next five years. The Massachusetts Homeownership Compact includes a commitment among lenders to originate mortgage loans to first-time home buyers with household incomes below the area median income through the MassHousing and the Massachusetts Housing Partnership programs. Governor Patrick also announced $9 million of funding to create over 160 new affordable and market-rate homeownership units, the first such new funding since 2006. See Website, Page 3
PUBLIC NOTICE WESTFIELD — “Due to the Gas Light District construction project, School St. will be closed intermittently for the next few days.”
End of the beginning for city’s new senior center project By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Dozens of senior citizens and supporters of a new facility for the city’s senior citizen’s gathered on Noble Street yesterday morning to witness a milestone in the decades-long effort to build a new senior citizen center to host the many programs available to those who are 60 and older in the community. Although the ground had already been disturbed by the earth-moving equipment of Forish Construction, the prime contractor for the project, a group, including many of the persons who have been instrumental in the process, gathered with shovels for a ceremonial groundbreaking ceremony after a short ceremony at the site of the new building. The new senior center will be built on Noble Street on the site of the former home of the late Mary Noble who left the property to the Westfield Housing Authority with the stipulation that it be used to benefit the city’s older adults. After a welcome by State Sen. Donald Humason, the ground-breaking ceremony opened with a rendition of the National Anthem by Shea Braceland, a third grade student at Juniper Park School who was followed by Mayor Daniel M. Knapik. Knapik welcomed the progress and recalled the days when services for the city’s senior
citizens were offered in the Cozy Corner, a basement room in City Hall. He said that, at the time, he thought that the Cozy Corner was adequate but later learned that problems with access had required that participants with mobility issues be physically carried up and down stairs to get to the singleroom gathering space. Knapik welcomed to the podium two city councilors – Brian Sullivan and James Adams – who have long been the liaisons between the Council on Aging and the City Council for the project and who, he said, have been advocating for the new senior center for years. Sullivan said that the ceremony celebrated “an end to the long process” of planning and funding and said “now we get on to the beginning.” “It’s been a long time coming” Adams said and compared the project to a puzzle. He said that with the shovels in the ground “we’ve got the sides around the puzzle” and now its time to fill in the center of the puzzle. He said that the senior center “has given (senior citizens) hope and support they needed” Adams pointed out that, since families no longer stay in the same area, many of the city’s older adults do not have family members living nearby so “this becomes their family.” See Senior Center, Page 3

Where is The Westfield News?
SPRINGFIELD — “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure” is a common phrase you might hear at most tag sales. For the volunteers of The Westfield Regional Animal Shelter, they’re hoping to tweak the old phrase to “One man’s trash is man’s best friends’ treasure” at the shelter’s 5th annual Tag Sale. This year’s sale will take place on Friday, August 22 and Saturday, August 23 from 8am to 3pm at 178 Apremont Way, Westfield, MA. The annual tag sale is the biggest fundraising event for the shelter. The community has been dropping off many wonderful items for the upcoming sale including furniture, dog supplies, small appliances, books, sporting goods, toy, and so much more. “This year the community has provided the shelter with double the amount items for the sale than in the pass years, along with many high quality items,” stated Kelly Thibodeau, shelter volunteer and co-chair for the tag sale. Ms. Francis wants to remind the community that the Westfield Regional Animal Shelter will be open for people who are interested in meeting the amazing dogs that are available for adoption. The shelter will continue to accept donations for the tag sale until August 21st. Terri Kutayli, co-chair for the tag sale and shelter volunteer, said that items can be dropped off at the Westfield Regional Animal Shelter Monday to Friday from 12 to 5pm and Saturday from 10am to 4pm. The shelter, located at 178 Apremont Way Westfield, MA, has been open for four years and takes in dogs from Westfield, West Springfield and Agawam and puts them up for adoption.

Police: Robber took shower, left evidence, caught ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Police say a suspect accused of robbing a 94-year-old Albuquerque man was caught after he shaved and showered in the victim’s home — leaving evidence. The Albuquerque Journal reports (http://goo.gl/dzDajd) authorities said 43-year-old Rudy Chavez was arrested Saturday following the bizarre robbery. According to a criminal complaint, Chavez held Glen Miller at gunpoint while Chavez showered, shaved, dressed in Miller’s clothes, and then left with Miller’s car, television and cash. The complaint says Chavez told Miller he was committing the robbery because he had just been released from prison and couldn’t find work. Albuquerque Police Lt. Paul Szych said investigators identified Chavez through fingerprints on the shaver and a bottle of mouthwash. Chavez faces a number of charges including kidnapping. It was not known if he had an attorney.

He said that with the new senior center comes improved access and on-site parking which will make it possible for more senior citizens to use the senior center. “We know what the outside’s going to look like, now we have to work on the inside,” he said. An independent support group, The Friends of the Westfield Senior Center, is working to raise about $500,000 to fund the furnishings and amenities for the center and that got a boost from the Massachusetts legislature, State Rep. John Velis announced, when he spoke at the ceremony. He said that, working with Humason in the senate, the city’s legislators were
able to secure a one-time $50,000 grant from the state. Adams said that he visited many other communities to inspect their senior citizen facilities and said that Westfield has a big advantage because, of all the facilities he visited, “we have, by far, the best director” in Tina Gorman, the director of the Council on Aging. Gorman said that the COA provides services to about 2,000 of the city’s 8,000 senior citizens and said “we’ll be able to do so much better when we’re in the new facility.” She said that the current Main Street facility has only one large room to use for programs so it is difficult to schedule

A bad week for Common Core By Stephanie Simon Politico.com This has not been a great week for the Common Core. Two new national polls, released Wednesday and Tuesday, found the public souring on the academic standards, which are meant to elevate math, reading and writing instruction across the nation. One of the polls, conducted by the journal Education Next, also found a steep plunge in support for the standards among public school teachers. “There’s no denying that this is bad news for supporters of the Common Core,” said Michael Petrilli, president of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute and a proponent of the standards. Common Core backers did get a bit of good news from Louisiana late Tuesday, when a district judge slapped down Gov. Bobby Jindal’s effort to repeal the standards by executive order. But in Ohio, the Legislature took up a bill to join the five other states that have repealed the standards in recent months. Fearful that they’re losing the public debate, Common Core supporters have vowed to revamp their campaign. They’ll unveil the first step on Friday, when Latino evangelical pastors from across the country will come forward with plans to rally their congregations behind the Common Core. Even that event, however, is likely to carry reminders of how radioactive the standards have become in some quarters. The guest speaker will be former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who just six months ago called Common Core “a toxic term because it’s come to mean things that most of us can’t stomach, like top-down federal intrusion into the local schools where you live.” The title of his blog post: “Common Core is Dead.” Huckabee was not available for comment Tuesday. He is expected to emphasize his general support for holding all students to high academic standards in his speech to the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference. It is not clear, however, whether he will reverse course and embrace the brand name Common Core. The new polls make clear that more than a year of high-profile opposition to the Common Core from parent activists on the left and the right, as well as from tea party groups, celebrity comedians and politicians such as Jindal and Huckabee has taken a toll. The 46th annual PDK/Gallup poll, released Wednesday, found that 80 percent of Americans have heard about the Common Core and nearly half say they know at least “a fair amount” about the standards. Those numbers are way higher than last year. And that familiarity has apparently bred distrust: Fully 60 percent of respondents said they opposed using the standards to guide instruction in their community. Among those naysayers, more than three-quarters told pollsters their opposition was motivated at least in part by a belief that local teachers don’t support the standards. They also overwhelmingly expressed concern that the Common Core would limit teachers’ flexibility in the classroom. The poll of 1,001 adults was sponsored by Phi Delta Kappa International, a trade association for educators. A larger poll released Tuesday by Education Next, a journal published by the conservative Hoover Institution, found that the term “Common Core” has become toxic. The pollsters randomly divided the 5,000 respondents into two groups. Half were asked their view of the Common Core. Just 53 percent backed the standards, down from 65 percent a year ago. Opposition was particularly high among GOP voters. The other half of respondents were asked the same question, but with the term “Common Core” stripped out; they were simply asked to weigh in on “standards for reading and math that are the same across the states.” Like magic, support for the standards soared, back up to 68 percent — and Republicans were just as enthusiastic as Democrats. The Education Next poll also asked people who said they’d heard of the Common Core a series of true/false questions about the standards. Huge majorities got them wrong, mistakenly insisting, for instance, that the federal government mandates the use of the standards and that the Common Core strips away local control over textbooks. Those findings suggest an opening for Common Core backers — a diverse group that includes President Barack Obama, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush — to turn around public opinion by correcting misunderstandings. But Michael Henderson, a political scientist at Louisiana State University who helped direct the poll, said he doubted that would See Common Core, Page 7

Why Obama can’t go there By Todd S. Purdum Politico.com It’s a paradox of Barack Obama’s presidency: The first African-American to run the country finds himself in the tensest racial confrontation of his tenure but is constrained from addressing the nation’s original sin in anything but the loftiest, most dispassionate terms. “We’ve made extraordinary progress” in race relations, Obama said on Monday, addressing the unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, over the police shooting of Michael Brown, “but we have not made enough progress.” That observation is so obvious as to be anodyne, but Obama has good reason to confine himself to Joe Friday generalities in the face of the discordant street demonstrations, belligerent police tactics and unfinished official investigation in Ferguson. Ever since he first judged that the Cambridge, Massachusetts, police had “acted stupidly” in 2009 by arresting Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. in his own doorway, Obama’s most candid comments on race have been just as likely to inflame a significant segment of public opinion as to soothe it. Last year, when Obama made the indisputable observation that Trayvon Martin, the unarmed black Florida teenager shot in 2012 by a neighborhood watch volunteer “could have been me 35 years ago,” many conservatives reacted with outrage (whether real or politically inspired). So there is now little practical percentage for Obama in doing anything but balancing his assertion that “in many communities, too many young men of color are left behind and seen only as objects of fear,” as he did Monday with an even-handed warning that giving in to anger “by looting or carrying guns and even attacking the police only serves to raise tension and stir chaos.” In one sense, of course, such language is quintessentially presidential: neutral, measured and above the fray. But as Obama himself has acknowledged more than once, when it comes to the realities of daily life for African-Americans, he can never — and could hardly be expected to — divorce himself from his own experiences, including his realization that his own beloved white grandmother expressed fear of black men. So it has fallen to an African-American man with a much smaller megaphone — Missouri Highway Patrol Captain Ron Johnson — to give personal voice to the feelings of so many black parents at the shooting of yet another unarmed black teenager. “When this is over, I’m going to go in my son’s room, my black son — who wears his pants saggy, his hat cocked to the side, he’s got tattoos on his arms — but that’s my baby,” Johnson said Sunday night at a memorial service for Brown. “We need to thank Mike for his life and the change that he’s made.” And even Rand Paul, who just four years ago expressed doubt about whether the central provision of the 1964 Civil Rights Act — its requirement that most private businesses serve blacks and whites alike — was constitutional, wrote last week in Time, “Anyone who thinks race does not still, even if inadvertently, skew the application of criminal justice in this country is just not paying close enough attention.” In the worst crisis of his 2008 campaign — the controversy over inflammatory rhetoric from his Chicago pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright — Obama made a stirring and candid speech on the realities of race in America, one that surely helped him win the election. His efforts to address the problem since have been fitful, with more mixed results. The White House takes pains to point out that Obama’s more personal remarks in the Martin case were delivered after a jury had acquitted Martin’s assailant, George Zimmerman, of the shooting — not while an investigation was still pending (though Obama had earlier said in the aftermath of the shooting that, “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon”). And in his second term, Obama has made a practice of speaking more candidly on race, as he did last month at an event for his “My Brother’s Keeper” initiative — an effort to focus private philanthropy on the needs of underserved black boys and young men. “The only difference between me and extraordinarily young men that I see all across the country is I was living in a pretty forgiving environment,” Obama said then. “So if I made a mistake, I often had a second chance, or I often had a third chance. And some of the costs of making mistakes, they weren’t deadly. I wasn’t going to end up shot. I wasn’t going to end up in jail.” Obama’s dilemma on Ferguson boiled down to whether he should issue a statement that would leave the shooting’s passionate critics unsatisfied, or say nothing at all and appear disengaged. “The circumstances determine the reaction, and it isn’t appropriate for the president to speak up emotionally in the midst of an ongoing investigation by the Justice Department,” White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett said in a telephone
interview. “He wants the attorney general and his team to be able to conduct an independent investigation without any thumb on the scale one way or another. I think the president’s goal is to add his voice in a way that is calming, so the violence ends, and to send a message to the government officials on the ground about what his expectations are in terms of freedom to assemble, freedom of speech and freedom of the press — and also to signal to the people who have been looting and shooting that that’s not an acceptable way to honor the death of a young man.” Other observers note that the sheer passage of time itself has required a certain recalibration of the president’s response to such incidents. “At this point, it’s inevitable,” said Raphael Sonenshein, director of the Edmund G. “Pat” Brown Institute of Public Affairs at the California State University Los Angeles and a student of the politics of race. “Being the first black president is like being the first black mayor times 1,000, and Tom Bradley always had to repeat, ‘I’m the mayor of L.A., not the black mayor of L.A.’ And he was judged very carefully in a city whose black population was about one and a half times the proportion of the U.S. as a whole. “Both he and Obama share a natural affinity not to be particularly partisan, and yet both are deeply imbued with the black experience. But after a certain amount of time, I don’t think the president can be the healer in chief any more. It becomes more about the Department of Justice, and the attorney general, who also happens to be African-American, and these people need to be heard on this. I think you only get a certain shelf life for trying to walk between the black and white experience as president. There’s a certain point at which I think it’s too hard a burden to carry.” As both a onetime constitutional law professor and a black man, Obama is well-versed in the complex realities of race in the life, and the law, of the nation — and of the combined power of direct action and legislative and legal remedies. “Words on a parchment would not be enough to deliver slaves from bondage, or provide men and women of every color and creed their full rights and obligations as citizens of the United States,” he said in his speech on race in Philadelphia in 2008. “What would be needed were Americans in successive generations who were willing to do their part — through protests and struggles, on the streets and in the courts, through a civil war and civil disobedience, and always at great risk — to narrow that gap between the promise of our ideals and the reality of their time.” By those lights, the marchers in Ferguson (the well-intentioned ones, anyway) descend from a venerable lineage, standing in what a wary John F. Kennedy, anticipating the 1963 March on Washington, called “the great tradition.” Obama, himself a veteran of street action, knows that as well as anyone, which is why the militaristic attempts of the Ferguson police to suppress demonstrations surely rankled him deeply. More than 80 years ago, H.L. Mencken inveighed against the tendency of the American press to demand comment from the president on every occasion — from the death of a sports hero to the most trivial holiday — and this White House clearly believes that part of the furor over Ferguson has been fueled by a perpetually restive media eager to avoid the summer doldrums. Even accounting for the extraordinary scenes — and troubling and legitimate legal questions generated by the shooting — Obama has also learned a lesson common to all his recent predecessors: Circumstances may demand his comment on some public event, but he need not say everything he thinks or feels on the topic. Sometimes, less really can be more. And Obama is far from the only person — much less the only elected official — with responsibility to see that justice is served in Ferguson. Citizens in that heavily black city themselves have a civic role to play. “These folk in power there have not respected their community,” said Elaine Jones, the former president and directorcounsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund. “And you cannot just stand up and say, ‘Respect me.’ You’ve got to demand it. And if you’ve got such an overwhelming population, you better make it count at the voting booth. But even without voting, people are entitled not to have their children murdered.” Adviser Jarrett said Obama is keeping his eye on the ball. “He’s doing his job and there’s no magic wand,” she said. “And there are no words that he can speak, alone, that will stop the violence. The people who are misbehaving are probably not the people who are listening to his remarks. But what has been encouraging is that many of the civil rights leaders and community leaders on their own have been trying to talk to people — particularly people from outside Ferguson — saying, ‘Don’t come here and disrespect the life of this young man by taking an opportunity to be violent in our community.’”

Common Core work. “I’m very skeptical of the idea that if Common Core supporters just get out there and talk to every man, woman and child — just explain the facts — that will sway opinion,” he said. The debate has become so politicized, he said, that people are likely to cling to the perceptions that reinforce their view, with little regard for accuracy. Supporters of Common Core are counting on teachers to be a sales force for the standards. They’re urging teachers to raise the subject in conferences with parents and in newsletters sent home in student backpacks. To encourage that process, California this week published an extensive “communications toolkit” for teachers, principals and other school officials. The kit comes with model tweets, editorials and letters to parents — and nine pages of analysis of the right and wrong ways to respond to criticism of the Common Core. There’s even an animated video describing the standards as a “remodeling project” that may create “dust and noise early on” but will make schools work better in the end. “Now educators have additional help in dispelling the mystery and concerns of families about this transition,” Superintendent Tom Torlakson said in releasing the toolkit. But the new polling data raises doubts about how effectively teachers will promote the Common Core. The Education Next poll found that just 46 percent of public school teachers back the new standards — a huge drop from last year, when 76 percent expressed support. Outright opposition among teachers has more than tripled, from 12 percent to 40 percent. “These are pretty exciting findings that suggest we’re actually witnessing a debate happening before our eyes in real time,” Henderson said. “We’re seeing opinions change.” Teachers say the findings are no surprise. Though the major unions both back the Common Core, leaders have complained that their members lack the training, resources and support to implement the standards properly. The incoming president of the National Education Association, Lily Eskelsen García, blamed the falling support for Common Core on “a propaganda war on TV and poor implementation by too many states and districts on the ground.” American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten was even more brusque, asserting that policymakers have steadfastly ignored teachers, parents and students who raised legitimate concerns about both the standards and the new, tougher tests aligned to the Common Core. “We said it, we screamed it,” Weingarten said, “and now this poll shows it. Given this path, support will continue to drop as people no longer see standards or standardized tests as helping children. They, like many teachers, see them instead as setting public education up for failure.” Some supporters of the Common Core say the situation is not as dire as the new polls indicate. Karen Nussle, executive director of the Collaborative for Student Success, points to a national survey of 800 teachers commissioned earlier this month by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which has poured more than $200 million into developing and promoting the standards. That poll, conducted by the Winston Group, found teachers approve of the standards by a 2-to-1 margin, 62 percent to 31 percent. Yet that support is soft, poll-
Continued from Page 4 ster David Winston said: Just 17 percent of teachers strongly backed the standards. The rest went no further than “somewhat approve.” Winston also pointed out that 32 percent of teachers said their opinion of the standards has dropped because of what they’ve heard about the Common Core in the past year.
(413) 562-6759
H CATERING H Only half as many said they’d grown more enthusiastic after listening to the debate. While they may support common standards in theory, Winston said, “it’s something teachers have to live with day to day — and it’s clearly something they’re very concerned with.”

Bear spotted wandering through Hadley HADLEY, Mass. (AP) — Hadley police have issued a warning to residents after a bear was spotted roaming through town. Police said the bear was spotted in the vicinity of Shattuck Road about 5 p.m. Tuesday, an area between routes 47 and 116. The Republican (http://bit. ly/1AxuRoT) reports that police said on their Facebook page that the bear was spotted “running through the neighborhoods.” Although it’s fairly common for bears to wander through western Massachusetts, particularly in rural or semi-suburban areas, police or state wildlife officials may get involved if the animals linger in heavily populated areas for too long. Residents who spot the bear are urged to contact police or state wildlife officials.

Project Permits
Continued from Page 1
The project has substantially evolved during the environmental permit review process. The state Department of Environmental Protection stepped in during the Conservation Commission’s consideration of the proposed stormwater management proposal, which resulted in a major change for compensatory storage of flood water. Levesque, who presented revisions of the proposal last night to the Planning Board, said the work will now be done in phases because the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (DOT) review of traffic impact on the heavily traveled section of Springfield Road (Route 20), may require further changes to the traffic pattern within the retail complex. Levesque asked the planners to approve the site plan and stormwater management plan to allow renovations to the existing building. The petitioners will come back to the Planning Board if the DOT traffic review triggers significant changes to the site plan. There was discussion concerning the special permit because it may not be needed if the square footage of the new buildings is less than 50,000 square feet. Levesque calculated the square footage of the three proposed buildings at less than that trigger, while Principal Planner Jay Vinskey, calculated it at over 50,000 square feet. Vinskey suggested that the petitioner keep the special permit application as part of the board’s review. Levesque said the DOT review, which will require the developers to submit a traffic study, with numbers related to the increase of traffic flow generated by the retail development of the property, could take between 18 and 24 months to complete. Levesque said the property owners desire to complete refacing the front of the building, which is currently mostly glass and was used as the new car showroom, and to construct a new façade for the rest of the existing building. The applicants hired architect Chris Carey to design a new front for the building and that architectural features, such as columns, will be added to transform the appearance of the structure. The fitness center will be located in the former showroom area. Nabil Hannoush said this morning that the renovation of the existing building does not require additional permits. “We already have approval for the renovation of our building. It’s going to be a beautiful building that will enhance the gateway to the city,” Hannoush said. “What we need are the permits to construct the additional buildings. “It’s a $10 million investment that will add between 200 and 250 new jobs in the city,” Hannoush said. “We’re very excited.”

THE WESTFIELD NEWSSPORTS Babe Ruth Baseball World Series
Westfield #1

By Chris Putz Staff Writer OCALA, Fla. – No matter what win-loss record Westfield compiled in the Babe Ruth Baseball World Series, the Whip City’s 14-Year-Old All-Stars would be looked upon as #1 by family, friends, and many members of the Whip City community. On Tuesday, Westfield finally earned win No. 1, proving it did belong in the World Series. Westfield received solid pitching performances from Mitchell Longley and Nate Bonini, and the Whip City’s group of 14-year-old ball players soundly defeated Southeast Lexington (Ky.), 5-1. “It was a good win – obviously
something that we needed desperately,” Westfield manager John Bonini said.”We were able to come out and compete. That did not surprise us.” Lexington struck first. In the bottom of the first inning, Jose Gonzalez singled and stole second base to lead off things for Lexington. John Stinetorf walked. Brody Sellers singled to load the bases. Evan Hall hit an RBI single. Longley got his team out of a jam – his defense made a huge assist as well – forcing No. 5 batter Hagen Ouellette to hit into a double play. Longley then forced Cameron Workman into a pop fly to end the threat. Westfield (1-3) bounced back.
Aidan Dunn and Andrew Tobias drew one-out walks for Westfield in the third. A single from Kyle Roberts loaded the bases. A fielder’s choice on a ball hit from Matt Masciadrelli to the left side of the infield resulted in the tying run. Westfield kept the pressure on. In the top of the fourth, Jack Yvon hit a lead-off single to get things started. Tyler Delgado followed
with an RBI triple to deep center field. Nathan Boucher reached on a fielder’s choice and eventually came around to score on a steal of home plate. The Whip City led 3-1. In the fifth, Aidan Dunn walked, advanced to second base on Aidan Dunn’s sacrifice, moved to third on a wild pitch, and scored on Masciadrelli’s sac-fly. Westfield’s pitching staff managed to shut down Lexington all game long. Longley and Bonini were stellar in their team’s final game. Bonini allowed two hits, no walks, no runs, and struck out four batters in three innings of relief. Longley scattered five hits over four innings. He allowed just one run.
“(Westfield) could have easily packed it up and gone home,” manager Bonini said, “but these kids played their hearts out from the first pitch to the last.” “To finish, unofficially, sixth out of all the Babe Ruth 14-year-old teams in the nation … be able to win the states, and have a walk-off hit to win the regionals in front of a home crowd, we’re proud of all we accomplished.” A parade for the 14- and 13-YearOld All-Star teams will be held Sunday at 1 p.m., beginning near the McDonald’s on North Elm Street and finishing at the city green, where players, coaches, league and city officials will celebrate their accomplishments.

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Does she have a split personality? Dear Annie: Eight months ago, our highly educated 43-yearold daughter informed my wife that she hates her. She put on a humiliating performance in front of her two children, a stepchild, her husband and us. We don’t understand this at all, but she now wants nothing to do with us. We do not deserve such treatment. We have been good, helpful parents and grandparents. In March, I phoned my daughter and asked why she hates her mother. She refused to discuss it. Three months later, I wrote her a letter and asked again. She has not responded. Our daughter’s first marriage was not good, and we helped her emotionally and financially. Is a therapist giving her bad advice? Does she have a split personality? Might she be in a cult? Is her husband pushing her to do this? Please help us find a reason for this shabby, disrespectful treatment. -- Bewildered Dad in Illinois Dear Dad: Your concerns are all interesting possibilities, but extreme. More likely, your daughter blames her mother for things that have gone wrong in her life. You may see it differently, but this is your daughter’s version, and to her, it is the truth. Please don’t argue with her. Instead, ask whether all of you can go for counseling together to work through whatever issues are troubling her, so you can be a family again. We hope she will agree. Dear Annie: My neighbor’s tree hangs 15 feet over my property line and shades my crabapple tree. When I asked “Ralph” to trim his tree so that mine could get some sunlight, he went ballistic and refused. Whenever Ralph and his wife go on vacation, I water their dozens of plants and take in their mail. I no longer want to do either of these things, because they obviously don’t appreciate it. I once asked them to watch my dog when I needed to go to the emergency room, and they wouldn’t do it. Ralph got into a fistfight with the neighbor on the other side when the man wanted to install a fence on his property. He once physically pushed the cable installers when they tried to lay down cable for another neighbor. All I want is for Ralph to trim his tree so that mine can survive. Do you think I should water their plants and take in their mail in the future? -- Unhappy Neighbor Dear Neighbor: Ralph sounds like a loose cannon. It’s your decision whether or not to take care of his mail and plants. You are not obligated to do so, and he certainly does not reciprocate. But about the tree: In most cases, it is legal for you to trim the branches that hang over your property line, provided you do not harm the tree. However, we don’t recommend you confront Ralph directly with this because he is so volatile. Do you have a neighborhood association that can help mediate the issue? Would his wife intercede? As a last resort, you can take Ralph to court. And if he is causing your crabapple tree to die, you can sue for damages. Dear Annie: I felt compelled to respond to “Miss Lonely,” whose ex left her with two kids and she’s looking for love. I was in her situation, divorced with two children. I started working part time, which built up my self-esteem. My friends and family encouraged me to return to school, which I did. I also got counseling for my children and myself, which helped. Tell her to get involved with group activities. Surround herself with good friends and family. I am involved with my local church and belong to two knitting groups. Check your newspaper or meetup.com for local information, and step out of your comfort area. You never know who you will meet and the friends you could make. -- Florida Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE Storing Cooking Fat: The Sequel Dear Readers: Recently, a reader shared her hint about STORING COOKING FAT in a glass jar, in the freezer, before garbage day. Here are just a couple of readers’ hints on the subject. * Lori J., via email, said: “Simply keep the fat in a container in the fridge, rather than the freezer.

I store it under the sink until it is full, and then I put it out in the trash. The odor of the detergent residue in the bottle also cuts down on the smell.” Heloise here: Please be sure that the grease is cool -- it might melt the plastic jug! -- Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O.

DOG EAT DOUG
Brian Anderson
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Aug. 20, 2014: This year you often see that it is better not to reveal your feelings. In general, you express yourself well. You will be entering the first year of a new 12-year luck cycle. Your optimism soars and opens up more opportunities for you. Make it a point to update your priorities. As you change, your goals change. If you are single, the likelihood of experiencing a major romance is extremely high. How this romance evolves will depend mainly on your age and on what you want from life. If you are attached, the two of you will start acting as if you had just met. Your bond becomes closer with increased romance. CANCER makes a great healer for you. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Your intuitive voice often points you an intriguing path. You will find that you are a lot better off than you might have anticipated. Keep your opinion to yourself for now. You won’t want to influence others right now, as they could be touchy. Tonight: Head home early. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Friends might have a unique way of supporting you. You’ll need to consider what will be the best way to share your feelings. Your creativity could be triggered by a new friend. Stay in contact with this person. Tonight: Make plans for the coming weekend. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Be aware of what is happening between you and someone else. A discussion might be in order. A family member could decide to take a stand. Having an important person on your side is likely to increase your security. Tonight: Treat a favorite person to dinner. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You are much more in your element than you realize. You seem to have pushed beyond your normal limits, and somehow you still might not get your desired results. Your personality will blossom with a newfound self-confidence. Tonight: As you like it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Sit back and say little; you will learn a lot more by observing. Others initially might feel awkward, but you’ll learn a lot more about the people who surround you. A hunch that involves money could pay off. Tonight: Not to be found. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Don’t question your direction today. Your present course will lead you where you want to go. Remain sensitive to a loved one who seems to be wearing rose-colored glasses. You might need to help this person get in touch with reality. Tonight: Go with an imaginative idea. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Take a stand, but only if you must. Loved ones whom you rarely see but who play a key role in your daily life will appreciate your newfound curiosity. Listen to your inner voice when dealing with a boss or an important older relative. Tonight: Out late. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Use your intellect, and mix it with a deep emotional resonance. As a result, you’ll create a positive change in an area of your life that you already find richly rewarding. Open up to a loved one; it will be good for this person to see your thought process. Tonight: Break a pattern. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to open up to a different way of proceeding, one that a partner seems to have an easy understanding of. You might be torn between following a long-desired dream and doing what is logical. Do not restrict yourself either way. Can you have both? Tonight: Dinner for two. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH You could be pleased by a partner and his or her choices. This person might opt to draw you in closer by reaching out to you for help. As you fulfill this request, you also will be making yourself happy. You’ll delight others with your spontaneity. Tonight: All smiles. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You might feel as if you are on a countdown to complete a project. Your ability to understand what others
Cryptoquip
Crosswords
expect from you tends to put tremendous pressure on you. Let go of judgments, and you will be happier. Tonight: Head to the gym for some exercise. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Your mind could be fixated on a child or loved one. If someone else needs to have a serious conversation with you, you will be hard-pressed to be present in the moment with him or her. Your personal life is so much more exciting! Tonight: Let romance in.

Hyper • Local
It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newspapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore.
25
But, day in and day out, The Westfield News provides consistant coverage of the stories you need to know about, that are important to your city, town, neighborhood and home.
