Knapik seeks sewer funding By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Mayor Daniel M. Knapik is seeking a City Council appropriation of $3,450,000 from the city’s sewer inflow and infiltration account to Water Resource Department’s construction account to be used to install new sewers in one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods. The $3.45 million appropriation will be submitted to the City Council tomorrow night. City Engineer Mark Cressotti said the $3.45 million will be used as a component of the Gaslight District infrastructure improvements. That Dan Knapik project will also Mayor include a $2 million investment to replace water mains in the target neighborhood. The $2 million water main funding was approved as a component of the Elm Street water line bond when the Elm Street water main was replaced last year. The Gaslight District project will encompass the neighborhood between Elm Street on the east, and Washington Street on the west, Franklin Street on the north and Court Street on the south. Cressotti said the Gaslight Project would improve the infrastructure and streets, while enhancing pedestrian movement in one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods abutting Elm Street, and was initiated to support downtown redevelopment. “This whole neighborhood is in need of upgraded utilities. The existing facilities don’t support economic development or serve the needs of the residents,” Cressotti said. Underground utilities, water sewer gas and storm drains would be replaced and overhead utilities will be buried to support further commercial and residential development in the neighborhood. A new street will be constructed through the Arnold Street municipal parking lot at an offset See Sewer Funding, Page 8

Schools get mid-year progress report By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Last night, the Westfield School Committee took the opportunity to both review the progress the district has made this year to date, and to look to the future. After welcoming new member Jeffrey Gosselin to the table, the committee also recognized the recently crowned western Mass. champion Westfield High School Gymnastics team, fresh off their seventh straight regional title. This was followed by Westfield Superintendent Dr. Suzanne Scallion highlighting strategic objectives and student achievement gains made during this fall, progress for a district which is looking to continue it’s rise up out of Level Three status. Strategic objectives for the district included using the Massachusetts Frameworks as
“a foundation to align and implement cirriculum and instructional programs to improve student achievement”, to develop “a focused, coordinated professional development programs to cultivate professional skills of staff”, and to allocate resources with “equity and transparency” in the district, which will go to pay for “cirriculm materials, technology, staffing and facility upgrades.” Other objectives are to maximize the district’s capacity to “collaborate as a ‘coordinated school system and instructional leaders” and to develop district programs which meet the needs of all learners. “This is something I hope is at the forefront of your minds at all times. I know it’s at the principal’s at all times,” Scallion said. District gains were highlighted regarding Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills in the Superintendent’s report, with significant gains being made at Highland and Franklin Elementary Schools, where the
Imagine Learning program has been implemented at both schools. The program will be accessible to kindergarteners citywide this year. “We fully expect to see the number of students who qualify for special education decline. We are now 140 students fewer than we were three years ago,” Scallion said. The district also made gains toward it’s goals for the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) exam established when Massachusetts was granted a flexibility waiver under No Child Left Behind (NCLB) in 2012, which enabled the state to replace the previous goal of 100 percent proficiency by 2013-2014, which Scallion referred to as “ridiculous”, with a more realistic goal of reducing proficiency gaps in half by 2016-2017. “Our bar was set by our scores a year ago,” See Schools, Page 8
Double duty not unprecedented By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The deadline is January 21 for candidates to submit paperwork with the state for the 4th Hampden District seat in the House of Representatives, held formerly by now-State Senator Don Humason, Jr. (R – Westfield). Recently inaugurated At-large City Councilor Daniel Allie, a Republican, has been gathering signatures in an effort to challenge city attorney John Velis, a Democrat, who expressed interest in running for the seat even before Humason’s senate victory. But can an individual serve the City of Westfield as a city councilor and as a state representative? Susan Philips, the solicitor for the City of Westfield’s Law Department, said she hasn’t looked into the matter and therefore couldn’t comment, but said she wouldn’t doubt that it has occurred elsewhere in the Commonwealth, a state which, as it
turns out, has a history of local officials serving double duty in both their home districts and Boston. “It is not as common a practice as it used to be,” said Brian McNiff, a spokesman for State Secretary William F. Galvin. “But there is no legal or statutory bar to prevent a member of a city’s council from serving in the State House at the same time.” He added that state senators and representatives holding elected positions back home is more common at different levels of government and that it has considerable precedent, as many cities in eastern Massachusetts have seen instances in which city councilors and even mayors have served their municipalities and the Commonwealth simultaneously. McNiff cited James McIntyre as a prime example of such a figure, as he held the mayorship in the Norfolk County city of Quincy from 1965 to 1971 while serving as state senator.
McIntyre is often credited with setting in motion such transportation initiatives as the construction of the city’s Burgin Parkway and the extension of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s Red Line subway across the Neponset River from Boston to Quincy. The former mayor also drew sharp criticism however from the Quincy Police Department during his tenure on Beacon Hill for voting for pay increases for Capital, State and Metropolitan District Commission Police forces while neglecting to increase the budget for the city’s own police department, which led to the formation of the Quincy Police Betterment Association, known today as the Quincy Police Patrol Officers’ Association, in 1968. The Essex County city of Lawrence has also seen a mayoral double dip when they elected State Rep. William See Double Duty, Page 7

Dr. David Hopson raised. The discussion at the school committee meeting included thoughts on whether the school committee was able to take a stance, whether they already had, or whether they should take a position. There was no resolution, but the community members were told that this question would be an agenda item for the January 22 meeting, under old business (meaning that a vote could be taken at that meeting). I have also been asked if the fact that the school committee voted to move the regional agreement amendment forward should be considered an ‘endorsement’ of Worthington leaving the district. My response is that the school committee, under the terms of the regional agreement (Section IX), had to move the request from Worthington forward for consideration by the seven district towns, i.e., the Town of Worthington followed the steps in the agreement as written. As only Worthington voted in

favor of the amendment, the amendment is considered null and void as all seven towns must agree to any changes to the regional agreement. Given this fact, Worthington moved forward with special ‘home rule’ legislation (which, given that this was passed during a Worthington Town Meeting, their representative and senator were obligated to file with the Legislature). While I have spoken to senators and representatives (and their aides) I have not, as I shared with the school committee this week and in September, been able to report an official position on the withdrawal for the district because the school committee has, to date, not taken an official vote on their position (which is also why I did not publically testify at the hearing and my written testimony provided only a factual overview of the situation). It remains to be seen whether the school committee will vote to take an official position, or even if there will be time to take a position should the legislation move forward in an expedited fashion. I will share that the only stance I can take on the issue is that it needs to be resolved quickly because the Gateway District, the Town of Worthington, and the Hampshire Regional School District all need as much time as possible to plan and implement changes whether or not Worthington is allowed to withdraw.
WSU to offer Career Development Facilitator Training Course WESTFIELD — The Division of Graduate and Continuing Education at Westfield State University will be offering a hybrid Career Development Facilitator (CDF) training course throughout the spring 2014 semester. A Career Development Facilitator (CDF) works in a career development setting or incorporates career development skills into their work with students, clients, employees, or the public. CDFs work in a variety of settings including schools and colleges, community agencies, workforce development offices, One-Stop agencies, and correctional facilities. The course is open to anyone who advises individuals in career planning and development or (with permission of instructor) wishes to learn more about the field. Participants can gain 30 PDPs (professional development points), making the course a great option for guidance counselors as well. The CDF training is the premiere training for people who assist others in planning careers and obtaining meaningful work. Students will follow a curriculum developed by the National Career Development Association (NCDA). The curriculum addresses the 12 core competencies required by career practitioners, and provides up-to-date resources, references, and trends related to career development. Students will have opportunities to interact with colleagues from a variety of work settings in a hands-on, interactive environment. Students will complete the required 120hour training through six face-to-face meetings and submit the remainder of the assignments through online submissions and projects. Students will also be required to visit two career-related facil-

Gateway Superintendent’s Corner I was able to attend most of the public meeting on Worthington’s withdrawal from the district, hosted by the Huntington Selectboard last week. This is certainly an item of discussion in the towns and is getting increasing coverage in the media. We’ve heard a wide range of concerns, justifications, and ideas related to the possibility of Worthington leaving the district. I will say that Worthington has been consistent in sharing the reasons they’re moving towards leaving the district, which appear to be myriad but primarily focused on the education of their students and the unfair financial burden placed upon the town by the state’s determination of their minimum contribution (which is based more on a town’s wealth than on the number of students they have attending a school). With this much attention on the issue, it will be interesting to see how the legislation moves forward. I think everyone was surprised that, after languishing so long in committee, the House passed the bill quickly and with no additional public input. At this week’s school committee meeting, members of the public asked why the school committee had not taken an ‘official’ stance on the withdrawal question. I know this has been an ongoing question and if one reviews the minutes and Central Office Updates for the committee, you can see that this is not the first time this issue has been

Ohio woman offers beer, smokes as lost dog reward DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio woman made fliers offering a case of beer and a pack of cigarettes as a reward for finding her lost dog — and it worked. Twenty-three-year-old Abigail Miller of Dayton offered the unusual reward after her two dogs escaped through an open gate on Jan. 2. She found one of them at a local animal shelter a few days later, but the other, a Husky named Zoro, remained missing. The Dayton Daily News (http://bit. ly/1al3foP) reports that Miller came up the reward because she could afford it and figured it would attract attention. She was right. The man who called and told Miller where to find her dog turned down the reward, but she says she’s going to offer him some food from the sandwich shop where she works.

O
n Jan. 15, 1929, civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. was born in Atlanta.
On this date:
In 1559, England’s Queen Elizabeth I was crowned in Westminster Abbey. In 1777, the people of New Connecticut declared their independence. (The republic later became the state of Vermont.) In 1862, the U.S. Senate confirmed President Abraham Lincoln’s choice of Edwin M. Stanton to be the new Secretary of War, replacing Simon Cameron. In 1919, in Boston, a tank containing an estimated 2.3 million gallons of molasses burst, sending the dark syrup coursing through the city’s North End, killing 21 people. In 1943, work was completed on the Pentagon, headquarters of the U.S. Department of War (now Defense). In 1947, the mutilated remains of 22-year-old Elizabeth Short, who came to be known as the “Black Dahlia,” were found in a vacant Los Angeles lot; her slaying remains unsolved. In 1967, the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League defeated the Kansas City Chiefs of the American Football League 35-10 in the first AFL-NFL World Champion-
ship Game, known retroactively as Super Bowl I. In 1973, President Richard Nixon announced the suspension of all U.S. offensive action in North Vietnam, citing progress in peace negotiations. In 1974, the situation comedy “Happy Days” premiered on ABC-TV. In 1989, NATO, the Warsaw Pact and 12 other European countries adopted a human rights and security agreement in Vienna, Austria. In 1993, in Paris, a historic disarmament ceremony ended with the last of 125 countries signing a treaty banning chemical weapons. In 1994, singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson died in Agoura Hills, Calif., at age 52.
Ten years ago: The NASA Spirit rover rolled onto the surface of Mars for the first time since the vehicle bounced to a landing nearly two weeks earlier. Fourteen-year-old golfer Michelle Wie shot a 2-over 72 in the first round at the PGA Sony Open in Honolulu. “First Wives Club” novelist Olivia Goldsmith died in New York at age 54.
Five years ago:
US Airways Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger ditched his
Airbus 320 in the Hudson River after a flock of birds disabled both engines; all 155 people aboard survived. In a farewell address to the nation, President George W. Bush said while his policies were unpopular, there could be little debate about the results: “America has gone more than seven years without another terrorist attack on our soil.” Congress cleared the release of the final $350 billion in bailout funds for the financial industry. After a wave of controversy, Roland Burris was sworn in as a U.S. senator from Illinois.
One year ago: New York state enacted the nation’s toughest gun restrictions and the first since the Connecticut school massacre, including an expanded assault-weapon ban and background checks for buying ammunition. Twin blasts ripped through a university campus in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo, killing more than 80 people, most of them students, in the governmentcontrolled part of the city.

Knapik seeks Senior Center funding By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Mayor Daniel M. Knapik will send a request Thursday to the City Council to appropriate $371,000 from the city’s free cash account to complete the design effort for the Senior
Center on Noble Street. The state Department of Revenue certified the city’s free cash account at $3 million. The DOR certification is needed before any of those funds can be appropriated. Knapik said this morning that the $371,000 will take the
project through the design phase and to the bid process of the construction phase. The finds will pay the design team of Dietz & Company Architects of Springfield which is teaming up with Courtstreet Architects of Newton and the Owners

Once we have those (bid) numbers we’ll go to the City Council for a bond.” The estimate for the project is $7 million. “We’ll have a definite number to give the City Council when the bids come in,” Gorman said.

Senate blocks jobless aid By Burgess Everett Politico.com The Senate blocked two separate proposals to revive emergency unemployment benefits that expired in December, all but killing the prospects of reviving jobless aid for now. The chamber voted 52-48 to reject a bill that would have extended benefits through November and pay for it by extending the sequester’s mandatory spending cuts into 2024. A different measure to extend the aid for three months — without a pay-for — was defeated 55-45. Both measures needed 60 votes to advance. The votes capped a tumultuous week of positioning on the bill, which fits into the Democrats’ election year focus on income inequality. There was initial progress last week when six Republicans joined with Democrats to open debate on the issue. But that goodwill quickly devolved into partisan sparring over the length of the benefits and whether to pay for their continuation. Until just before Tuesday’s roll calls, it was unclear if the vote would even go forward. Several previously scheduled votes were canceled, some due to weather problems last week and others because of familiar partisan divides. By Tuesday, the debate centered almost entirely on procedural questions and the partisan tension between the Senate’s top Democrat and Republican was on full display. In response to Republican requests that they be allowed votes on their amendments to the bill, Democrats agreed to consider five Democratic and five Republican amendments at a 60-vote threshold, with a catch: That the GOP would consent See Senate, Page 5
By Tal Kopan Politico.com Americans continue to identify government itself as the biggest problem facing the nation in a new poll, although the numbers have come down since the end of the government shutdown. Asked to name the most important problem facing the country today, 21 percent of those surveyed in a Gallup poll out Wednesday cited government and politicians. That number is still higher than before the government shutdown, when Americans were more concerned about the economy than government, but down from the 33 percent high registered in October during the shutdown. The economy was in second place, at 18 percent, and unemployment and health care tied for third, at 16 percent. The percentage of Americans concerned about health care has quadrupled since last January during the continued rollout of Obamacare. Meanwhile, concern about the federal deficit has dropped 12 percentage points in the last year, to 8 percent. The priority of concerns changes, however, by party ID. While health care was third overall and fourth in concern each for Democrats and independents, Republicans identified it as the second most important issue, only 2 points behind government, which topped all three groups’ lists. The economy and unemployment were second and third for Democrats and independents, while the economy and the deficit were third and fourth for Republicans. Gallup surveyed 1,018 adults from Jan. 5 to 8 for the poll, which has an error margin of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

States take the lead on legalizing pot By Darren Samuelsohn and Byron Tau Politico.com Americans are growing more hip to legalizing marijuana. In fact, a House bill to do just that is one of the most viewed proposals on Congress’s official legislative tracking site. But the overwhelming feeling on Capitol Hill is to leave the issue to the states. Both Democrats open to the pot experiment and libertarian-leaning Republicans are flying the states’ rights banner as Colorado and Washington state implement their groundbreaking new marijuana legalization laws. Marijuana remains a touchy social subject, loaded up with decades of baggage, from Woodstock to Nancy Reagan’s “Just Say No” campaign. Still, the willingness of so many members to stay clear of the fight is a powerful reminder why marijuana activists are having so much success in taking their case directly to voters in weed-friendly states. “If the federal government doesn’t have to put its nose in the issue, we shouldn’t. I’m happy to have these states do it,” said Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.). “I’ll keep my fingers crossed and hope the experiment doesn’t create horrible results.” Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), a states’ rights advocate who doesn’t endorse smoking marijuana because of its health effects, said the atmosphere on the Hill is changing — slowly. “I think people overall don’t like the idea of teenagers and young men and women going to jail for mistakes,” Paul said in an interview. “But I don’t think people are ready yet to say, ‘Oh, it’s a great thing and we just need to legalize it.’” Marijuana activists are getting the hint. They’re planning pot legalization ballot measures in Alaska and Oregon in 2014, with several more likely to follow in 2016. Dozens of state legislatures and city councils are considering decriminalization or legalization bills. New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Jan. 8 announced a pilot program for medical marijuana in his state. Still, there’s little appetite for action at the federal level. The House and Senate committees with jurisdiction over the nation’s drug laws say they are too busy with other priorities like government spying, immigration and patent reform. Lawmakers who handle the IRS and banking issues — two areas where questions persist amid the launch of the states’ lucrative marijuana market — have no immediate plans to dig in. And aides to House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) took a pass when asked for comment about the legal toking under way with the new year in Colorado and, in a couple of months, Washington. Pressed on Congress’s role, the Senate’s No. 2 Democrat, Dick Durbin of Illinois, first gave a long, loud laugh. “Well, we have to at least step back and look at the big picture and try to find some consistency in the penalties that are being assessed and the message that’s coming out when it comes to narcotics,” Durbin said. Fifty-five percent of Americans said pot should be legal for adult use — up from 16 percent in 1987, according to a CNN poll released Jan 6. A Gallup survey in October found that 58 percent of Americans now support legalization, while just 39 percent oppose it. The issue is “the equivalent of same-sex marriage for straight people,” said former Rep. Barney Frank, a longtime proponent of legalizing pot. “The politicians are clearly lagging the public,” Frank said. “A lot of politicians on this are suffering from cultural lag — they’re still afraid of being accused of being soft on drugs.” Cash-strapped states could potentially benefit from legalizing — and therefore taxing — marijuana sales, supporters say. “I think it could be like casinos,” said Rep. Jan Schakowsky, an Illinois Democrat co-sponsoring legalization legislation. But some hard-on-crime Republicans say the Obama admin-
istration is shirking its legal responsibilities to enforce federal drug laws by allowing the Colorado and Washington state laws to take effect. “The long-term problem it creates is I just think terribly unfortunate,” said Sen. Mike Johanns (R-Neb.), a former governor and George W. Bush-era Agriculture secretary worried about marijuana traveling up the Interstate 76 corridor from Colorado into his state. “If you think about young people growing up in places where marijuana is now a legal drug, I think it’s the wrong message. “You can’t really put police officers on the border,” he added. “It’s not like you’re fighting a war.” With the Obama administration largely on the sidelines — the Justice Department is letting the states’ laws take effect, but with oversight to ensure things don’t get out of hand — grassroots activists are trying to capitalize on the surge in national interest to expand legal marijuana across the country. They’re aiming for legalization initiatives mirrored on Colorado and Washington in at least two more states in 2014: Oregon and Alaska. Groups working on the issue in Alaska reported in December that they have enough signatures to qualify for an August ballot measure. Alaska Rep. Don Young, a 21-term Republican, said he expects the ballot initiative to succeed. “This is a states’ rights issue. And states’ rights in the state of Alaska is very important. The conservatives says [marijuana is] wrong, but still it’s a state right. That’s really where we are.” In Oregon, voters narrowly rejected a legalization initiative in 2012 — but advocates are committed to trying again in 2014. Peter Lewis, the chairman of Progressive Insurance Co., has given nearly $100,000 to the pro-initiative group New Approach Oregon. It also has the support of the Drug Policy Alliance, a group supported by billionaire liberal donor George Soros, among other donors. Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) skirted questions about his preference regarding legalization of marijuana in his state, saying he’d leave the debate to voters and the legislators in Salem. “I think the right thing to do right now is to learn from the implementation in other states and see what issues arise,” Merkley said. California is also a ripe target for a legalization effort. The Drug Policy Alliance has filed paperwork in California for a possible 2014 legalization initiative. But a number of like-minded groups are urging a delay until 2016. That, in theory, would allow them to capitalize on the younger and more diverse electorate that turns out for presidential races. A similar measure failed in 2010 — with many activists blaming an older and more conservative midterm electorate for the defeat. Running another ballot initiative in California is more difficult and costly than elsewhere. “I think the major issue in California is that it’s a huge state and it’s a very expensive campaign,” said Drug Policy Alliance Executive Director Ethan Nadelmann. Another possibility for a ballot initiative in 2014 is in the nation’s capital — but Congress has ultimate oversight over Washington, D.C.’s, laws and could nullify any marijuana legalization effort. The D.C. Council is marking up a separate decriminalization bill this week that is expected to pass the full council sometime this year. Legalization advocates fret that the measure could dampen enthusiasm for a legalization ballot initiative. Beyond 2014, strategists for the pot activism community are hoping 2016 will be an even bigger year for the movement — with pot initiatives sharing a ballot with a wide-open presidential field. The Marijuana Policy Project — one of the largest national pro-pot groups — is planning to spearhead additional legalization ballot measures in Arizona, Maine, Massachusetts,
Montana and Nevada in 2016. Other groups are aiming at initiatives in Missouri, New Mexico and elsewhere. Pot activists are also working statehouses in Delaware, Hawaii, Maryland, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont to get legalization bills done through the normal legislative process. So far, the only two legalization efforts, in Colorado and Washington, have been done through voter initiatives. “We know there’s a lot of public support for ending prohibition,” said MPP spokesman Mason Tvert. Marijuana advocacy groups also intend to spend independently on behalf of pro-pot candidates in state, local and federal elections. Tvert said his PAC would most likely spend six figures in 2014 — with an eye on races where a small, strategic investment could pay off. On the lobbying and advocacy side of the equation, medical marijuana industries in 20 states and the District of Columbia have created a growing semi-legitimate industry — represented by the National Cannabis Industry Association. The trade group has nearly quadrupled in size in the past year, to about 400 members, and now has five full-time employees. In Washington, NCIA is putting pressure on the Obama administration to fix rules governing the banking system. Right now, traditional banks won’t open accounts for any marijuana businesses for fear of being prosecuted under money-laundering statutes. “We’ve got an industry that’s poised to be $10 billion in the next four to five years,” said NCIA Executive Director Aaron Smith. “Much of that is outside the banking system.” The Justice Department is expected to draft new rules pertaining to marijuana businesses in states where pot is legal in the next few weeks or months. NCIA and other activists are also eyeing reforms to the Tax Code that would allow marijuana businesses in states where pot is legal to deduct their business expenses from their taxes — something that most other businesses can do but pot businesses cannot because of a 1980s-era federal law. But even with pot legalization gaining popularity with the public, marijuana activists acknowledge their chances for success in reforming federal laws through Congress are still low — in getting changes to the banking rules and the Tax Code, as well as complete legalization. Joked the Marijuana Policy Project’s Dan Riffle: “I think it’s more likely in the second term of the Hillary Clinton administration.”

Double Duty “Willy” Lantigua in 2009. The first elected Hispanic mayor in the state’s history, Lantigua resigned from his fourth term as the State Representative from Essex County’s 16th District in 2010 after serving a year as mayor, a tenure that proved controversial from day one. The Dominican-born Lantigua faced considerable pressure from his Beacon Hill colleagues to step down from his seat as the House began deliberating a bill in 2010 to enable Lawrence, one of the most impoverished cities in the state, to borrow approximately $35 million to balance its budgets for the next two years. Lantigua’s four years in office as mayor saw him come under federal investigation into possible corruption among a slew of other accusations, a saga which began in April of 2011. Elsewhere in the Commonwealth, some elected officials have been able to handle the two gigs successfully, especially if their hometown is within a close proximity to the state capital.

now.” State Representative Aaron Vega (D-Holyoke) found himself in a similar situation last year, when he was elected to represent Holyoke as the State Representative for the 5th Hampden District, and chose to finish out his term as a city councilor during the first year of his tenure in Boston. “If you are holding both seats, you file an ethics claim so they know you’re holding a local seat, which may mean you have to abstain from certain votes,” he said, adding that city councilors in Holyoke receive stipends for their service, of which he donated half of his to a scholarship fund, and declined to receive the other half for his final year as councilor. “I was privy to what was going on in Boston, which helped me when I was with the council,” Vega said. He also cited the most strenuous aspect of wearing both council and house hats. “If you hold both seats, you’re always campaigning, because they elect on opposite years,” Vega said.

This robust group is currently comprised of 36 men and women from Northampton, Easthampton and Southampton and membership is open to residents 18 and older from any city or town in Western Massachusetts. Lions are men and women who volunteer their time to humanitarian causes in their communities by conducting service projects and raising funds to help those in need
wherever need exists. Part of a worldwide organization of more than 1.5 million members, the Lions motto is “We Serve.” Lions Clubs across the state donate more than $1 million to Massachusetts Eye Research, but also conduct service activities emphasizing diabetes awareness, education and research, community welfare, improved hearing and work with those who are physically and mentally impaired. Lions members come from every walk of life, age and persuasion but all have one thing in common: They enjoy helping others. While the primary function of the Club is charitable, its members often find involvement in Lionism leads to improved networking with others in the community. Any resident interested in joining this local Lions Club is most welcome to come to a meeting as a guest to talk with others about the work of Lionism and get to know the benefits of becoming a member.

Sewer Funding Continued from Page 1 with Summer Street and the cut-through between Church and School streets. Sidewalks will be installed with pump-outs to increase pedestrian safety. A key focus of the Gaslight Project will be to improve and enhance pedestrian movement between the municipal parking facilities and the city’s downtown commercial and entertainment district. The off-street parking facilities in both the Arnold Street and Franklin Street municipal parking lots will be reconfigured. Those reconfigurations will also support the Elm Street commercial and transportation projects and the eventual construction of a multistory parking garage. The Gaslight District project also includes construction of small, urban pocket parks, green oases in a jungle of concrete and asphalt. One proposed park will be constructed in an existing parking area off Church Street, behind the former Bistro Restaurant, while another is planned in the Arnold Street parking lot along the new access road. The parks will have artifacts of historic significance, now in storage at various city departments. The Gaslight Project also includes the widening of Arnold Street from Elm Street down to the new Arnold Street parking lot access driveway.

Keys to ending emotional eating By Jennifer Giffune, R.D., L.D.N. You are having a bad day; feel sad, lonely, angry, bored, weak. Things are not going the way you wanted them to and you wish things were different. When dealing with a difficult time in your life, do you turn to food? Sometime eating well beyond feeling full? If you do, you may be an “emotional eater”. Why do we turn to food? Obviously, we think it will make us feel better. At that moment, the smooth, sweet, creamy or salty flavors do fill us with immediate pleasure. The goal is to defeat those negative emotions. In the long run this becomes a way to sabotage your efforts to be healthy. Emotional eaters don’t break out the veggie platter, right? No, the foods of choice are packed full of fat, salt, sugar, and are high in calories. The end result is that your weight goes up and up. Then you feel bad… and then you emotionally eat… it is a vicious cycle and it needs to be broken. Emotional eating is not a given. The good news is that you can take control. It will take work, but in the end, the results will make you feel wonderful about yourself. Before you do anything else, get a physical ~ it may not be a matter of emotions running your life. There may be a physical issue that needs addressing. Afterward, if you

she explained. “Our annual targets are going to go up 20 percent every year towards our goal, so even as we continue to make progress, we’re climbing 20 percent every year. That’s going to be challenging.” Scallion also added that the district’s proficiency gaps are fixed and were determined in 2012 and do not reflect changes in the city’s student demographics. “We continue to experience growth in our high needs subgroups, particularly are English learners,” she said. “We have a bunch of kids coming in who have never lived anywhere but a refugee camp. So we have got to be prepared for the needs of those students in our schools and our community.” Westfield was named a Model Practice District, with Scallion and Highland Elementary Principal James Kane selected to attend and present at a National Summit of Superintendents in Utah last fall. Highland Elementary was awarded Super School recognition for outstanding implementation of the Imagine Learning. The city was also one of three districts statewide to receive “Model District” recognition due to their use of Title I funds, used under the flexibility waiver of the NCLB for such programs as Extended Day, Summer School, Read 180 and

down a list of non-food comforts. It may be that you have immediate comforts such as picking up a phone and calling friends. You may also have comforts that take more effort such as meditating or doing yoga. If it tempts you – get rid of it: If you can’t be around a chocolate bar without taking a bite, don’t have it in your possession (not in the house, freezer or car). If you would have to go out to get a comfort food, chances are you will “make do” with another action. Don’t go hungry: Skipping meals are an emotional eater’s worst form of self-sabotage. Daily have three meals and two snacks. Every 2–3 days make some ready-to-eat healthy snacks such as cut up veggies with yogurt dip, airpopped popcorn (use “spray” margarine to flavor), and sugar-free jello. Make healthy eating a lifestyle: Consistent healthy food choices (85-95 percent of the time) are essential to reaching a healthy body weight, and combating emotional eating. Choose good carbs (e.g. whole grains, vegetables, and fruit), lean protein (e.g. poultry, fish, soy, and lean meats), heart healthy fats (e.g. nuts, seeds and oils), and low-fat dairy (e.g. skim/1 percent milk and yogurt). Pay attention to portions, and eat slowly. Get moving! Exercise is a
stress reliever and mood elevator. Include all types of exercise (aerobic, strengthening and flexibility), and aim for 3–6 days a week. When you workout, you sleep deeply, feeling more rested in the morning… able to face whatever challenges life throws at you. It is important to remember that no one is perfect. Aim for healthy eating 85-95 percent of the time. During those times when you give in to your emotions, let it go. Move forward, instead of dwelling on past choices you made. At your next meal, snack or scheduled exercise session, just go on as planned. Finally, if you find that you cannot stop emotional eating on your own, consider seeing a therapist (psychologist, psychiatrist or social worker) to face your feelings and to get tools to exert control. ——— Jennifer Giffune, R.D., L.D.N. is a freelance author, professional speaker and nutrition counselor.

get a clean bill of health, then it is time to deal with emotional eating. Here are some tips to follow before your next bite: Stop & think: Take about 15 minutes and sit down and think about whether you are truly hungry. A growling stomach and slowly developing feelings of hunger means you are really hungry. Cravings come on quickly, and pass, if not fed, in about 15 minutes. Hydrate yourself: Adults often do not perceive thirst. While you are thinking about whether or not you are truly hungry, have a glass of water. If you were thirsty, this will suffice and you will not need to eat. Learn what your triggers are: Take several days and keep a food record. Track everything- food & drinks plus dates, time, amounts, how long it took to eat and how you were feeling. You are looking for patterns that lead to emotional eating. Plan: Key to avoiding emotional eating is planning ahead. For example, if you know that you emotionally eat as soon as you get home after work due to stress, have a small healthy snack waiting in the car. Before you turn the key, perhaps you eat a fruit and small packet (1 ounce) of nuts. Find non-food comforts: Take some time when you are having a calm day, and write

Imagine Learning. Dr. Jen Alexander, the district’s administrator of student interventions, will be presenting the district’s model at the Rennie Center in Cambridge later this month. “These have been districtwide efforts, and our principals deserve as much credit as anyone else, so hats off to you.” Scallion said to thunderous applause in the council chambers. “We have rolled our initiatives out with great care. We have not done things in a way that has intentionally overwhelmed anybody,” Scallion said, adding that other districts have been forced to
implement programs quickly due to their poor performance. “This pacing of ourselves is very important to successfully implement changes and align ourselves with the state mandated Common Core. We were behind, and we have made some important gains.” “We must continue with our efforts and purchase materials and curriculum programs in line with the new standards. We’re not there yet,” she said. “We have fourth and fifth grade literacy to think about next year. We’re piloting programs this year… the next frontier is going to be science for kin-
dergarten through twelfth grade. We have a way to go, but in terms of the last three years, I would say we’re at least halfway there in terms of implementation of licenses and textbooks.” Scallion also alluded to potential budgetary concerns, but said that overall, she is pleased wih the district’s progress. “We’ve pared staffing down, and we can’t hit much more,” she said. “Our class sizes are at the max 20 to 24 benchmark. We have to look at newcomers and materials but, where we are at the halfway mark, we’re proud of the work in our schools.”

THE WESTFIELD NEWSSPORTS Gators chomp Pioneers By Chris Putz Staff Writer HUNTINGTON – The Gateway Regional High School boys’ basketball team is certainly chomping at the bit these days. The Gateway Gators shredded the Pathfinder Pioneers 68-26 Tuesday night at the “Gator Pit” to improve to a stellar 6-1. Curtis Dowers scored a team-high 17 points to lead Gateway. Every Gators’ player who stepped on the court scored. “It was a well-balanced game,” Gateway coach Mike O’Connell said. Justin Edinger and Peter Kowal pumped in nine points apiece for Gateway; Willis Pollard and Mike Arel each had eight; Jake Merritt had a career-high seven; Chris Hanechek, 5;
and, Tyler Kornacki, 3. Brett Turbin tallied his first two varsity points for the Gators, as well. Gateway finishes the week with a pair of road games – at Pioneer Valley Christian School (Thursday) and at Franklin Tech (Friday). Belchertown 41, Southwick-Tolland 36 BELCHERTOWN – Belchertown’s Conner Davis scored 12 points to lead all scorers, and his team to victory against visiting Southwick Tuesday evening. Holyoke Catholic 61, St. Mary 38 CHICOPEE – Sam Thresher recorded a team-high 16 points for St. Mary, and Drew Colins had seven. “It was a tough shooting night,” said Saints coach Joe Molta.

WHS wins in Headley’s return By Chris Putz Staff Writer WESTFIELD – There is no “I” in team, but there is in Isiah Headley. Headley, the Westfield High point guard who suffered a season-ending injury during the 2012-13 boys’ basketball season, rejoined the team for the first time Tuesday night to help lead a truly balanced attack in the Bombers’ 61-42 win over Sci-Tech. Headley was one of four Westfield players to notch eight points in the victory. The others were John O’Brien, Alex Brown, and Manny
Golob. Colin Dunn led the Bombers with 13 points. Richard Barnett had nine. Westfield led 33-21 at the half before SciTech pulled to within six points with a brief offensive spurt in the third quarter. The Bombers were perfect from the foul line in the fourth quarter, converting 9-of-9 from the free throw stripe. “We played pretty well down the stretch,” Westfield coach Bill Daley said. The Bombers next play at Amherst on Monday.
By Chris Putz Staff Writer THREE RIVERS – The Gateway Regional girls’ basketball team got off to a hot start, but have since hit a road block. Gateway lost its second road game in two days, stumbling to host Pathfinder 28-17 Tuesday night. The Gators, who suffered a loss against Pioneer Valley Christian School Monday, fell to 4-4. “It was a solid defensive game, but our offensive struggles continued,” Gateway coach Eli Robbins said. Seventh-grader A.J. Mitchell led Gateway with five points. St. Joe’s 53, St. Mary 13 Reagen Smith (12 points) and Liz Bean (10) were the high scorers in St. Joe’s victory at Westfield Middle School North Monday night.

Bombers swim undefeated WESTFIELD – The always tough Longmeadow Lancers came to the Whip City Tuesday night and gave the Westfield High School swim teams a run for its money. Despite heroic efforts by the Lancers, the Bombers prevailed with the hometown girls and boys winning, 11373 and 101-85, respectively. The Westfield girls’ team of Kelsey Johnstone, Erin Lewis, Lauren Longley and Kiersten Rosso edged out Longmeadow by six-hundredths of a second to win the 200-yard medley relay. The boys’ team of John Dolan, Jim Stinehart, Nicholas Rosso and Slav Ptashuk flirted with the school record in their race and won this event handily. Hope Walsh won the girls’ 200-yard freestyle in impressive style, finishing with all competitors half a pool length or more behind her. Roberto Morales won for the boys. In the 200-yard individual medley, the Bomber trio of Erin Lewis, Alison Johnstone and Hayley Jurczyk finished first, second, and third, respectively, in the six-lane pool, allowing the team to outscore Longmeadow 13-3 in this event. Tim Kwarcinski secured first place for Westfield in the boys’ race. Lauren Longley and Jim Stinehart won the girls’ and boys’ 50-yard freestyle races, both with state championship qualifying times. Longmeadow won both the boys’ and girls’ 1-meter diving competition. Through these early events, the Westfield girls had established a sizable lead, but despite the Westfield boys’ wins in the first five events, Longmeadow had taken several seconds, thirds and fourths, and trailed the Bombers by only two points. Longmeadow sensations Jerrica Li and Justin Liu won the girls’ and boys’ 100-yard butterfly races. John Dolan won the 100-yard freestyle. In the 500-yard freestyle, the Westfield girls extended their lead by sweeping the 20-length endurance race with Hope Walsh, Samantha Dolan and Madison Stinehart.

The Westfield girls broke the meet wide open in the 200-yard freestyle relay, outscoring the Lancers 12-2 in this event with the teams of Longley, Lewis, Johnstone, and Walsh taking first; and, Kiersten Rosso, Hannah Ditto, Rachel Charette, and Shaylyn Jurczyk taking second by 26 hundredths of a second. The Westfield boys won their race with the team of Ptashuk, Dolan, Kwarcinski and Stinehart. John Dolan helped the Bombers finish strong, winning the boys’ 100-yard back-
stroke race. In the last individual event – the 100-yard breaststroke – the Westfield girls produced their third sweep with Johnstone, Lewis and Charette taking the top three spots. Stinehart narrowly won the boys’ 100 breaststroke. The boys capped their 16-point win by edging out the Lancers by 35 hundredths of second in the 400-yard freestyle relay. The Bombers will celebrate “senior night” when they take on Amherst in their final home meet of the season Friday evening at 5. – Courtesy of Mike Rowbotham

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Thought I’d found the one Dear Annie: I’m a divorced woman who was married to a self-centered man for 30 years. He often told me that if I thought there was something better out there to not let the door hit me on the way out. I finally took him up on it, and it turned out to be the best advice he ever gave me. For the past three years, I’ve been dating “Ted,” also divorced. He is smart and successful, and we are perfect together in every way. Here is the problem: Ted is not ready to marry. He told me his marriage ended because there was no passion. He fears if we live together, the physical attraction we feel for each other will die. Ted and I spend weekends together and travel often, but then he goes home to his house. I don’t want to live alone for the rest of my life. But if Ted isn’t ready after three years, I doubt he ever will be. His reluctance hurts me deeply and brings back all those feelings of unworthiness from my marriage. Is it time for me to walk? -- Thought I’d Found the One Dear Thought: Ted may be skittish about commitment, but that is his issue, and he is making it yours. Some women are perfectly content with a no-strings relationship with someone they find compatible. But if you are looking for marriage, you will have to set Ted free and look elsewhere. We realize you have put a lot of effort, energy and emotion into this relationship, but if the end result makes you unhappy and anxious, Ted is not the right person for you. Dear Annie: I must reply to all the mothers-in-law who write to you and can’t understand why they are treated so unfairly by their daughters-in-law. My mother-in-law has been incredibly mean to me from the first time I met her. She deliberately does not include me in many of the family functions. She promises my children outings and never follows through. She and her daughter have been the nightmares of my life. This has gone on for years now, and I would rather not have any contact with them. My husband feels I should “be the better person” and just ignore their behavior. But, Annie, I can only do this for so long before the better course is to simply walk away. -- The Other Side of the Story Dear Other Side: Has your husband stood up for you with his family? Does he say, “My wife must be invited to these family functions, or I will not attend”? Does he tell his mother that the children no longer believe her promises and it hurts her relationship with them? If he thinks sweeping Mom’s behavior under the rug will make things better, he is mistaken. It is cowardly. Mom will learn to respect you as a member of her family if her son makes it clear to her that this is not optional and there are clear consequences. We cannot guarantee that she will change her tune, but we can absolutely assure you that if your husband does not do these things, nothing will ever improve and you are right to limit contact. Dear Annie: “Tired of Doing All the Holiday Planning” said she is going to stop hosting family holiday dinners because no one helps her clean up. In our home and those of our friends, the cook does not clean up. Everyone else does. “Tired” should tell her kids and grandkids to clear, wash, dry and put the dishes away. If Dad is in the picture, he should pitch in, too. Some of my fondest times involve the camaraderie when my buddies and I clean up after one of our wives’ meals. (We are lousy cooks.) Guys need to get with the program and show their wives they appreciate the effort of putting the meal together. -Helpful Husband Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
HINTS FROM HELOISE CLUB WAFFLES Dear Heloise: Help! Years ago, you printed a waffle recipe using club soda. When I opened the book where I kept the recipe all this time, it wasn’t there! Could you please print it again? -- Lucille S. in Texas Lucille, don’t worry, because you can enjoy these Heloise Club Waffles again! Gather the following ingredients: 2 cups biscuit mix 1 egg 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1 1/3 cups club soda In a large bowl, mix together all of the ingredients using a large spoon. Be sure not to overmix, and use the batter immediately so it does not have a chance to go flat. Get out your waffle iron and start making delicious, fluffy waffles for everyone to enjoy, or freeze for later! -- Heloise OATMEAL HINT Dear Heloise: I love fresh fruit in my morning oatmeal, especially peaches. Though they may not always be in season, I found a way to have them all year long! I purchase the cups of diced peaches in 100 percent fruit juice and strain the juice from the cup. I then stir the peaches into the oatmeal when it has 30 seconds left in the microwave. So delicious! -- Jacki, via email

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2014: This year others present you with a different perspective more times than not. You are confident and sure of yourself, yet understanding a new way of handling life could be quite rewarding. If you are single, during the next six months you could meet someone quite exciting. This person will be generous, and have an excellent sense of humor. If you are attached, the two of you will learn to respect your differences. As a result, your bond will become more loving and exciting. Both of you will flourish. CANCER is far more emotional than you are.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH The Full Moon could affect your mood. You might want to exercise your “kiss and make up” technique, especially with a close associate. You might feel as though you’re between a rock and a hard place. Express your thoughts openly and kindly. Tonight: Relax at home. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Consider opening up to new possibilities that emerge in discussions. You might be quite surprised by what occurs. You could feel overwhelmed by everything that happens. You simply need to take in the moment and not make a commitment right now. Tonight: Play it easy. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Be aware of expenses that keep arising. You might want to rethink your budget. The possibility exists that you might need to give up an indulgence. A little self-discipline will go far at this point. Know that you are capable of nearly anything. Tonight: Balance your checkbook. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Today’s Full Moon puts you directly in the spotlight. As a result, you’ll be able to maximize the lunar energy in your favor. Interpersonal relating will be highlighted. Seize the moment to act on an important matter. Tonight: Whatever makes you happy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HH A dispute suddenly could break out. Someone might misread your attitude. Make a point to clarify your thoughts. A serious but important conversation will stabilize the situation. Note how this person gets when he or she is upset. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You know when you overspend. You might feel as if you have made a commitment and have little to no choice but to follow through. How you handle this matter will be important, but probably not as important as you think. Tonight: Where crowds are. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You might feel as if you must act a certain way, and you could be irritated to be in that position right now. Do not fight the inevitable. You’ll want to balance the different aspects of your life. Tonight: Out till the wee hours. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Your sense of what to do might involve testing out your ideas on someone who is more knowledgeable than you on the topic. On some level, you could discover how easily irritated this makes you feel. Walk away from a difficult or volatile situation. Tonight: Go with the flow. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Relate to a partner or key associate directly in order to avoid a volatile situation. A friend still might be less than agreeable because of a sudden change of plans. Make a point not to lose your temper, and you will be OK. Tonight: Togetherness is the theme. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Avoid a potentially touchy situation by deferring to others. Consider what is more important: keeping the peace or being right. Demonstrate compassion toward a partner or loved one. This person could be feeling insecure with today’s Full Moon. Tonight: Sort through ideas. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Someone could take advantage of your caring nature. You might feel hurt, or perhaps you’ll just feel sorry for this person. In any case, pull back and be more discriminating when it comes to your inner circle of friends. Tonight: Head home, and squeeze in some exercise. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You might feel pulled in two different directions. Your friends really enjoy having you around, yet a child or loved one could express some neediness. You likely will try to juggle all of
Cryptoquip

these concerns. As a result, a partner could become impatient. Tonight: Take a midweek break. BORN TODAY Civil-rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. (1929), playwright Moliere (1622), actor Lloyd Bridges (1913)
