Southwick sewer implementation committee discusses Congamond Rd. sewer options

By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent SOUTHWICK – The Sewer Implementation Committee discussed possible options for the Congamond Rd. sewer line project during their meeting on Tuesday night.

DPW Director Randy Brown proposed three possible options for the project. Brown stressed that all of the options are very preliminary and nothing is near being set in stone.

The first option is similar to the original plan that was presented at the informational meeting at the town hall last fall. It would include a combination of a gravity sewer and a force main sewer on Congamond Rd. The difference with option one from the original proposal is that there wouldn’t be any betterment.

According to Brown, the town would act as the bank.

The property owners on Congamond Rd. wouldn’t have to tie in since it wouldn’t be mandatory.

Brown also mentioned that all three options would be funded by either loans or grants through the USDA Rural Development program.

The gear is replacing several pieces that were not in National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) compliance. NFPA is the national governing body for firefighter safety.

“Safety is the number one concern for us and it’s great to come in compliance and to put these 44 sets on the front line,” Westfield Fire Deputy Chief Patrick Kane, said.

By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent WESTFIELD – Members of the Westfield Woman’s Club foundation attended the Historical Commission meeting on Monday night.

Barbara Trant and Sue West of the foundation, and also members of the Westfield Woman’s Club, proposed an idea to the Historical Commission about modifying the Court Street building’s entryway.

Trant and West are looking to assist the woman’s club with the accessibility of the building that is located on 28 Court St. The two women needed the Historical Commission’s help with this process, as the woman’s club building has to be considered historic in order to have an upgrade.

The CPC (Community Preservation Committee) would need the historical commission’s approval that the building is historic then they would be able to provide funding towards the project. The CPC would then present the project to city council as they are the governing body to approve or deny the request.

If the CPC chooses to, that will be one avenue of grant money, or funding, for the woman’s club foundation to use towards the building entrance.

The Historical Commission would also send a letter of approval to the CPC. At the meeting on Monday night, the historical

Police: Jitney driver owes more than $50,000 in tolls, fees WEEHAWKEN, N.J. (AP) — Transit police say they’ve arrested a New Jersey woman who owes more than $50,000 in unpaid tolls and fees.

Port Authority of New York and New Jersey police say Bertha Moreno was driving a jitney bus Monday when an officer recognized its registration as a suspected toll evader. The bus was stopped at the Lincoln Tunnel toll plaza in Weehawken.

Authorities say they soon learned Moreno had 653 known E-ZPass electronic toll payment violations. The bus was impounded. The West New York woman was charged with theft of service.

Authorities say the E-ZPass transponder used in the bus was appropriate only for use in a passenger vehicle.

A telephone number for Moreno can’t be located. It’s unknown if she has an attorney.

Earlier this month a trucking company owner was charged with racking up more than $1 million in unpaid tolls and fees.

Continued from Page 1 proposed design–which has not been completed– will not work for Westfield.

“I understand and appreciate the fact that the infrastructure has to be addressed. When heavy rains hit the road floods, the sidewalks are damaged, and that needs to be fixed,” O’Connell said. “But I am a bit resentful of the state for jamming this project and plan down our throats.”

O’Connell is concerned that the increased size of the sidewalks, which will grow from 5 feet in width to 10 feet in some places, will be a burden upon homeowners. Currently, city ordinance mandates that residents are responsible for removing all snow and leaves from sidewalks in front of their properties.

“The state again… they think they know what’s best for Westfield, and I feel a little resentful that people 100 miles away are telling us what we need,” she said.

Further information about the plans can be found on the MassDOT website.

New Gear

In addition, Kane said some of the equipment was in heavy disrepair, with tears and holes in it. This was especially true for the captains of the department, who tend to go to more fires in the city.

In addition to being in compliance with NFPA regulations and newer, the new gear also has additional safety features for firefighters.

One notable feature is a rescue strap built into the gear.

Kane said that its use could be life-saving, as it would allow a fellow firefighter to drag an unconscious or downed firefighter to safety with greater ease. The rescue strap is built into the coat portion of the gear, and goes underneath the armpits of the firefighter, then around their chest, effectively distributing the weight being pulled.

The gear was purchased with a grant of just over $141,000 from the Department of Homeland Security. One of the stipulations for securing the grant was that the city would have to match 10 percent of the grant total, which Westfield did.

Option two would involve just putting a force main on Congamond Rd. This option could cut down on costs of work along Congamond Rd. There would also still be a pump station and gravity sewer line in the Gillette Corner neighborhood.

The last option is what Brown referred to as a more “scaled down version.” There would be both a pump station and a force main. The property owners would be responsible for the tie-in connection to the sewer line.

The committee mentioned that the property owners will be able to wait five, 10 years, or so until they ever decide to tie-in the connection of the sewer line to their home.

Brown feels that it was necessary to bring a few options to the table and make a change away from the original plan.

“I think we have to,” said Brown. “The process we’ve been following didn’t seem to be getting the support we need.”

The possibility of the homeowners having the option to pay for the connection fee is something that Brown believes is worth considering.

“It gives them (homeowner) flexibility,” said Brown.

The discussion surrounding the three options will continue to be ongoing as the committee may look for a recommendation from the Select Board in the near future.

The community regularly uses the woman’s club for events so there is a recognized need for better accessibility to the building. It was also noted that requests to rent out the building have had to be limited, due to the lack of accessibility.

“This is something that the woman’s club has needed to undertake for a little while,” said Trant. “Our goal is to ensure that all members of the community can access the club,” said West.

Trant and West also mentioned that they may look to do a feasibility study on the building as well.

‘1984’ sales soar after Trump claims, ‘alternative facts’ NEW YORK (AP) — After incorrect or unprovable statements made by Republican President Donald Trump and some White House aides, one truth is undeniable: Sales of George Orwell's "1984" are soaring.

First published in 1949, Orwell's classic dystopian tale of a society in which facts are distorted and suppressed in a cloud of "newspeak" topped the best-seller list of Amazon.com as of Tuesday evening. The sales bump comes after the Trump administration's assertions his inauguration had record attendance and his unfounded allegation that millions of illegal votes were cast against him last fall.

Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway coined an instant catchphrase Sunday when she called his claims about crowd size "alternative facts," bringing comparisons on social media to "1984."

Orwell's book isn't the only cautionary tale on the Amazon list. Sinclair Lewis' 1935 novel about the election of an authoritarian president, "It Can't Happen Here," was at No. 46.

Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" was at No. 71.

Sales also were up for Hannah Arendt's seminal nonfiction analysis "The Origins of Totalitarianism."

Tale of 2 cakes: Trump’s inaugural treat mirrors Obama’s WASHINGTON (AP) — A patriotic cake cut by President Donald Trump at one of his inaugural balls Friday night was a replica of one served at an inaugural ball in 2013 for former President Barack Obama.

Baltimore pastry chef Duff Goldman made the Obama cake and highlighted its similarities with Trump's on Twitter early Saturday , noting that he didn't make the one for Trump.

Tiffany MacIsaac, who owns Washington's Buttercream Bakeshop, tells The Washington Post that she was asked to recreate the one used at Obama's ball. She says she wasn't trying to upset Goldman. MacIsaac tells the Post she is donating proceeds from the cake to a charity that pushes for gay rights.

Goldman, former star of the Food Network's "Ace of Cakes," claimed no hard feelings in a tweet later Saturday, writing that it was "awesome" that his cake was remembered and the chef who recreated it "did a fantastic job."

Sexist, vulgar posts on women’s marches rebound on officials

By BRIAN SLODYSKO Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A school board member in Hillary Clinton's hometown resigned after making a derogatory reference on Twitter to the female anatomy in describing women marching against President Donald Trump. An Illinois teacher was pulled from the classroom for a tweet deemed sexist. And a freshman Indiana lawmaker was inundated with criticism over a Facebook post mocking "fat women."

These are a handful of examples from across the U.S. of mostly male public officials who have been reprimanded, called out or disciplined over social media postings about the women's marches around the globe last weekend.

The rash of incidents, which range from boorish to downright vulgar, highlight how nasty political discourse has become since the divisive presidential election. But in an era when Trump made lashing out against "political correctness" central to his appeal, the consequences these officials face for unfiltered use of social media once again demonstrate that what you say on the internet still can hurt you.

"Very few people in public life, even today, get away with what Trump was able to get away with," said Michael Cornfield, a George Washington University professor who studies politics in the internet age. "I wonder what these gentlemen were thinking."

It's not the first time rantings on social media have sparked backlash. Public officials for years have found themselves in trouble, and even resigned from office, over comments that were impolitic, distasteful and sometimes even racist. It's also not strictly a partisan issue. A writer for "Saturday Night Live" was suspended this week after writing an offensive tweet about Trump's 10-year-old son Barron. The writer, Katie Rich, deleted the tweet, briefly deactivated her account and then apologized after a social media outcry led to calls for a boycott of the show.

Still, the number of incidents following the women's marches, which packed public squares in blue states and some red as well, has put a few elected officials and supervisors in an awkward spot. And it's not clear where to draw the line.

In Indiana, Republican House Speaker Brian Bosma says he's conducting social media tutorials after posts from at least two state lawmakers.

A weekend Facebook post by Indiana state Rep. Jim Lucas, a Republican, showed a photo of a woman sprayed in the face with pepper spray with a caption that read: "PARTICIPATION TROPHIES. NOW IN LIQUID FORM." Another post by newly elected Indiana state Sen. Jack

Sandlin, also a Republican, credited Donald Trump with getting "more fat women out walking than (former first lady) Michelle Obama did in 8 years."

Sandlin, who says he didn't knowingly share the sincedeleted post, was inundated with criticism on his Facebook page and has apologized. He says the incident was a powerful lesson on the "unintended consequences" of opening up "your social media to try to get it out as broadly as you can."

Bosma partially blamed "the Twitter storm created by our president" which he said "makes people feel this is an appropriate vehicle to communicate." He added: "We're elected officials, we're held to a higher standard."

On Monday, Dathan Paterno, a school board member in Park Ridge, Illinois, where Hillary Clinton grew up, abruptly resigned after he called the protests a "farce" by "vagina screechers" on Twitter.

Paterno, who did not respond to a request for comment, later deleted his social media accounts, said district Superintendent Laurie Heinz. He wrote in his letter of resignation that the tweets were "understandably misinterpreted."

In the Quad Cities, along Illinois' western border, a teacher was "removed from the classroom" for posting a view of women that "does not reflect the values" of the school, district officials said in a statement.

The teacher, Mark Kaczmarek, tweeted a photo of a 1950s housewife, and commented that the protesters "all went home to make dinner."

One online petition called his tweet "unacceptable" while a rival petition said there is "no proof" that he "ever engaged in any kind of sexist, racist or even homophobic hate speeches in his classroom."

A person who answered the phone at a number listed to Kaczmarek declined to comment.

In Nebraska, a retweet of an offensive joke may be the final straw for state Sen. Bill Kintner, who admitted last year to having cybersex on a state computer with a woman who later tried to blackmail him. The Republican's colleagues on Wednesday will debate whether to expel him after he retweeted a joke implying that three women's march demonstrators were too unattractive to sexually assault.

Other incidents were reported in Mississippi, Rhode Island and New Mexico.

Cornfield, the political science professor, said that he thought most people learned the lesson about crossing the line in social media posts years ago during the early days of email.

"I guess now that we've elected the @realDonaldTrump some people need reminders," he said.

FOODTRAVEL COOKING ON DEADLINE

Filet Mignon with Pistou, Green Salad

By KATIE WORKMAN Associated Press Wow, does this dish look classy, right? But look at the ingredient list — not too long. And look at the steps — pretty darn simple.

My boys love all kinds of steaks, though a perfect, tender filet distinctively communicates "special occasion." They are no harder to cook than any other steaks; just make sure to have the temperature high enough in the pan that the outside gets nicely seared while the middle remains pink, and be careful not overcook it. A medium rare filet will have an internal temperature of 130 F. Pistou is similar to pesto, though often made with a looser consistency, and sometimes the pine nuts and/or Parmesan cheese are omitted, resulting in a simpler basil, garlic and olive oil sauce. That's the drizzle you're going for here, just a pop of herb-infused green olive oil to brighten up that perfect little filet. Then all you need is a handful of lightly dressed baby greens on the side and you are in business.

There are so many appealing combinations of greens available either by the pound or in 5-ounce plastic containers in the produce aisle, some with herbs or other add-ins, and it's an awfully easy way to keep changing up your green salad.

Of course, you are welcome to round out the meal with the starch of your choice, anything from mashed potatoes to buttered noodles. But there's no question that the star of the plate is the steak.

FILET MIGNON WITH PISTOU AND GREEN SALAD Serves 4 Start to finish: 25 minutes 2 garlic cloves 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves 1/3 cup plus 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 4 5-ounce filet mignon steaks, about 1-inch thick 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar 5 ounces mixed baby lettuces This October 2016 photo shows filet mignon with basil pistou in New York. This dish is from a recipe by Katie Workman.

Make the pistou: Place the garlic cloves in a small food processor and mince. Add the basil and process again to chop, then add 1/3 cup of the olive oil, some salt and pepper, and blend until it becomes a bright green sauce.

Season the steak generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large heavy skillet, such as cast iron, over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, and when the oil is hot, sear the steak for 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium rare.

Remove the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

(Sarah E Crowder via AP)

While the meat is resting, in a large bowl combine the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the vinegar, and salt and pepper. Stir to combine, add the lettuce and toss.

Serve the filets with a drizzle of the pistou on top, and a couple of handfuls of the dressed mixed greens. Pass the rest of the pistou on the side for extra drizzling.

What can mackerel and a volcano say about our world?

By PATRICK WHITTLE Associated Press PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — What could an Indonesian volcanic eruption, a 200-yearold climate disaster and a surge in the consumption of mackerel tell us about today’s era of global warming?

Quite a bit, researchers say.

A group of scientists and academics with the University of Massachusetts and other institutions made that assessment while conducting research about a long-ago calamity in New England that was caused by the eruption of Mount Tambora half a world away in 1815.

A cooled climate led to deaths of livestock and changed fish patterns in New England, leaving many people dependent on the mackerel, an edible fish that was less affected than many animals. The researchers assert that bit of history gives clues about what food security could be like in the modern era of climate change.

“How we respond to these events is going to be critically important for how we come out of this in the long term,” said Karen Alexander, the lead author of the study and a research fellow in environmental conservation. “We can learn from the past how people dealt with the unanticipated.”

The research group’s find-

ings were published this month in the journal Science Advances . They looked at what the catastrophic Tambora eruption meant for the Gulf of Maine and nearby human food systems.

The eruption was one of the most powerful in recorded history and was followed by a short time of climate change — specifically, global cooling — and severe weather. Its impact on weather, food availability and human and animals deaths worldwide has been studied extensively. The year that followed the eruption, 1816, is often described as the “Year Without a Summer.”

The researchers behind the Science Advances article found that alewives, a fish used for everything from fertilizer to food by 19th-century New Englanders, did not fare well. But mackerel had better survival rates and became a critical source of protein and jobs, Alexander said.

As crops failed and famine began to spread, the little fish emerged as a staff of life, the report states. The shift marked the beginning of the mackerel fishery as a critical piece of New England’s marine economy, and it remains active today; Maine and Massachusetts fishermen caught more than 8 million pounds of Atlantic mackerel

in 2015.

It’s a scenario similar to what parts of the developing world are experiencing today as climate change affects food security.

The study states there is a parallel between the need for immediate adaptation after Tambora and the challenges in coping with the climatedriven devastation caused by storms, floods and droughts today. It notes that the loss of food staples due to climate change caused people in the northeastern states to move — something seen today in places such as Pakistan and Syria.

“Understanding how adaptive responses to extreme events can trigger unintended consequences may advance long-term planning for resilience in an uncertain future,” the report states.

How fisheries in the developing world will adapt to future climate change is an important contemporary food security issue, because fish are a vitally important protein resource worldwide. More than a billion of the world’s poor obtain most of their animal protein from fish, and 800 million depend on fisheries and aquaculture for livelihoods, according to the nonprofit research group WorldFish.

The report illustrates how abrupt changes in climate can

In this 1891 photo released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Penobscot Bay fishermen clean mackerel near their saltwater farm off the Maine coast.

Scientists with the University of Massachusetts, and other institutions, published research findings in January 2017 where they concluded the 1815 volcanic eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia that led to a short period of climate cooling also increased the consumption of mackerel, which were less effected than crops and other animals in New England. (NOAA/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration via AP) have unexpected consequences long after conditions moderate, said Andy Pershing, chief scientific officer and ecosystem modeler for the Gulf of Maine

Research Institute in Portland.

“Good stewardship of our natural resources can help buffer against some climate impacts. Unlike the people in

1815, we have an idea of what’s coming, and we need to make sure we are prepared,” he said.

Chaunty Spillane has opportunities for area residents to get involved in a film project. Above is the first movie poster for the “Cancombe Lady Comedy Improv Sketch.” the production is comedy sketch style, we will be pushing actors to the limit.”

Spillane said that over the years she has talked to colleagues who have spent time and money on improvisation classes and then do not have an outlet to demonstrate how they “reshaped their craft.”

Spillane said she became a SAG Signatory Actor for a New Media production which allows her to create an “amazing opportunity” for her colleagues – as well as bring to life the character she and Dunn created.

“My colleagues deserve a platform and the very, very rare opportunity to do improv in a production,” said Spillane. “The production will make life better and dreams come true for all.”

As Spillane moves forward on pre-production, she is managing and promoting a GoFundMe campaign which is entitled the “Cancombe

Lady Comedy Improv Sketch.”

Spillane noted since the production is improv, she will provide direction, however, the cast does not have a script to follow.

The Cancombe Lady Comedy Improv Sketch is on Facebook as well as IMDb. com with an unofficial movie poster. Future plans for the “Cancombe Lady” include showcasing the film on iTunes and Netflix.

While Spillane continues to recruit cast members in upcoming casting calls, she is also in need of local individuals including college students who are interested in serving as production assistants.

Additionally, she hopes to recruit a camera person and a personal assistant. For persons interested in getting involved in the production, contact Spillane through the Facebook page which allows one to click on a link to mes-

sage her.

“People should become involved because this is a very rare opportunity for actors to show off their improvisation skills,” said Spillane. “So many actors for the past five to seven years now, I’ve known, have taken a multitude of improvisation classes yet have no where nor any opportunities to be compensated generously and still be profiting with travel expenses, etc., factored in rather than breaking even or losing money just to perform in a comedy club or bar as a new comedian.”

Spillane expects to be in post-production mode later in April but does not have a target date to launch the film at press time.

“The target for launch is most likely the summer of 2018 because we have other platforms in mind that will allow this to be available worldwide,” she said.

Weldon Rehabilitation Hospital Gains Accreditation Renewal SPRINGFIELD — Weldon Rehabilitation Hospital, at Mercy Medical Center, has again been awarded accreditation by CARF International for its Inpatient Rehabilitation Program for Adults and Inpatient Rehabilitation Program for Children and Adolescents. The latest accreditation is the eighth consecutive three-year accreditation that the international accrediting body, CARF, has given to Weldon Rehabilitation Hospital. At the same time, Weldon has also gained accreditation for its Stroke Specialty Program, making it the only facility in Western Massachusetts to achieve the distinction of delivering this high level of quality stroke rehabilitation. This is the third time that Weldon has achieved this recognition.

This accreditation decision represents the highest level of accreditation that can be given to an organization and shows the organization’s substantial conformance to the CARF standards. An organization receiving a three-year accreditation has put itself through a rigorous peer review process.

It has demonstrated to a team of surveyors during an on-site visit its commitment to offering programs and services that are measurable, accountable,

and of the highest quality.

“The CARF accreditation serves to assure patients seeking treatment at Weldon Rehabilitation Hospital that our facility continues to meet strict standards for quality and accountability, and these internationally-recognized standards emphasize an integrated and individualized approach to services and outcomes,” said Jill LeGates, MS, OTR/L, Director of Rehabilitation Services, Weldon Rehabilitation Hospital. “This important achievement also recognizes the entire Weldon staff, and members of the preparation work group, for their hard

work and commitment to continuous quality improvement through the application of CARF standards.”

CARF is an independent, nonprofit accrediting body whose mission is to promote the quality, value, and optimal outcomes of services through a consultative accreditation process and continuous improvement services that center on enhancing the lives of the persons served. Founded in 1966 as the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, and now known as CARF International, the accrediting body establishes consumer-

focused standards to help organizations measure and improve the quality of their programs and services. For more information about the accreditation process, please visit the CARF website at www.carf.org.

RADIO FOR THE WESTFIELD MASSES

Spillane.

The production at press time also features two nonunion actors, Evelina Walter and Nate Dunn, as well as “highly sought after” composer and sound producer Kenneth Hampton, noted Spillane.

“I am incredibly thankful to have Ken be a part of the production,” she said.

During the past few years while Spillane, a national SAG-AFTRA member, was enjoying success as a featured background actor and photo double for A-list actors, she started to “branch off” and explored writing short film screenplays as well as feature length films.

After attending a filmmaking workshop by Woodhaven Production Co. of Rhode Island, in association with Verdi Films in 2015, Spillane felt her calling.

“My partner and manager Nate Dunn and I created the character of the Cancombe Lady based off of the 90’s horribly excessive lip-liner phase/trend with influence from variety shows combined with a taste of this decade,” said Spillane.

As Spillane sees it – the Cancombe Lady is the “Joan Rivers of Today.”

The “look” for the Cancombe Lady will be unique because Spillane said she is Czechoslovakian with an accent.

“Her name is catchy and mysterious,” said Spillane, adding the character is rude, borderline offensive and sometimes acts like a “dude.” Also, Spillane said the Cancombe Lady will be “fabulously dressed” at all times and will meet actors in a variety of settings.

“I will be portraying her in a specific style,” said Spillane. “She will not be like myself in real life nor how I portray myself online. Plus, I will be acting in a comedy and that is very different for me.”

Spillane added she has had a lot of practice discovering her comedic timing via Vine 6 second videos that have had more than 5.3 million views.

As the plot unfolds, the film explores a “day in the life of the Cancombe Lady” which she said will be “absurdly hilarious.”

“How actors will meet her will be very location dependent and we are looking at a lot of great locations with pre-built sets,” said Spillane. “Since

Judge: Boston cab group failed to prove law harmed members BOSTON (AP) — A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit that claimed a new state law put a group of Boston taxi owners at a competitive disadvantage with ride-hailing services.

The Boston Globe reports Judge Nathaniel Gorton ruled Tuesday that the Boston Taxi Owners Association failed to prove the law harmed its members.

Gorton says the cab companies have no rights to market exclusivity.

The taxi owners said their equal-protection rights were violated because they're forced to abide by city regulations surrounding fares, vehicle design and background checks while ridehailing services do not.

Instead, the state regulates those companies.

An attorney for the taxi group couldn't immediately be reached for comment.

A spokesman for Republican Gov. Charlie Baker says he was happy to sign the law.

House to debate sticky issue of pay hikes for politicians BOSTON (AP) — A bill calling for up to $18 million in annual pay raises for Massachusetts legislators, statewide elected officials and judges is expected to come up for a vote in the House of Representatives.

In advance of the debate on Wednesday, legislative leaders defended the proposed salary hikes, with Democratic House Speaker Robert DeLeo saying the matter was "long overdue" for discussion.

DeLeo and Democratic Senate President Stan Rosenberg would earn

$142,547 under the proposal, a $45,000 increase in base pay. Salary hikes would also be in store for other members of the Democratic and Republican leadership, and for the chairs of key legislative committees.

Republican Gov. Charlie Baker's salary would climb from $151,800 to $185,000, with an additional $65,000 housing allowance. Baker says he's "quite content" with his current salary.

Gov. Baker pushing program aimed at expanding job training BOSTON (AP) — Gov. Charlie Baker is unveiling a program aimed at helping those looking for work obtain the skills they need to land a job.

The Republican says his “Learn to Earn” program will help community groups steer individuals they know are looking for work toward training programs.

Baker wants to offer scholarships for training that leads to certificates in certain fields. He also wants to help pay for transportation and child care to make it easier for people to get training.

Baker will include the $4 million program in his state budget proposal to be unveiled today.

Baker says the program is aimed at groups with historically higher unemployment rates, including blacks, Latinos, people with disabilities and veterans.

He says with unemployment in Massachusetts at 2.8 percent, businesses need skilled workers.

Baker to file budget plan, repeats pledge to oppose taxes BOSTON (AP) — As Republican Gov. Charlie Baker prepares to take the wraps off his latest state budget proposal, he's again promising to fight any broad-based tax increases on Massachusetts residents.

The spending plan to be filed on Wednesday is expected to total about $40 billion for the fiscal year starting July 1.

Some Democratic lawmakers say the state should consider new taxes for investments in education, health care and transportation.

Baker does plan to call for applying the state's hotel tax to online lodging services such as Airbnb.

In his state of the state address Tuesday night, the governor also said he would propose a $4,000 tax credit for businesses that hire unemployed veterans.

The administration previously said it would seek ways to control costs in the state's $15 billion Medicaid program.

SPORTS Tomlin not alarmed as Roethlisberger ponders future

Snow games

By WILL GRAVES AP Sports Writer PITTSBURGH (AP) — As a general philosophy, Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin treats each individual season as its own unique entity, with no direct through line from one to the next.

Considering his quarterback's current state of mind, probably a good idea.

While Tomlin believes the Steelers have a "championship caliber" team a couple days removed from an ugly blowout loss to New England in the AFC title game, his franchise's most important player isn't guaranteeing a return in 2017. Roethlisberger said during his weekly appearance on 93.7 The Fan that he needs time to reflect before coming back for a 14th season.

"I'm going to take this offseason to evaluate, to consider all options, to consider health and family and things like that and just kind of take some time away to evaluate next season, if there's going to be a next season, all those things," Roethlisberger said.

Roethlisberger will turn 35 in March and is under contract through 2020. Knee injuries have forced him to miss time in each of the last two seasons and while Pittsburgh ripped off nine straight wins on its way to the AFC North title and its first appearance in the NFL's final four in six years, Roethlisberger wasn't terribly sharp. He threw 10 interceptions over Pittsburgh's final seven games, though the two-time Super Bowl winner didn't receive much help on Sunday against the Patriots, as dropped passes, a groin injury to running back Le'Veon Bell and occasionally questionable playcalling — not to mention Tom Brady at the peak of his powers — played significant factors in the worst postseason loss of his career.

While Roethlisberger cautioned he's "not by any means saying he's not coming back," the father of three considered it "prudent" to take a step back before deciding if he has the energy to make another push.

That's fine by Tomlin, who wasn't alarmed

by Roethlisberger's admission mostly because they've had similar discussions in the past.

"That's football," Tomlin said. "Obviously I'm hopeful that he returns and the potential of his return or not returning will weigh heavily on our planning. That's life. He's the most significant component of what it is that we do. We'll plan and react accordingly."

Roethlisberger is one of three Steelers remaining from the team that beat Seattle in the Super Bowl 11 years ago. The exodus includes tight end and Roethlisberger's longtime friend Heath Miller, who retired last February at age 33.

It seems unlikely Roethlisberger — who has three seasons left on the five-year, $100 million deal he signed in March 2015 — would walk away considering the Steelers

By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer WESTFIELD – For the third time in this young season, local student-athletes have been forced to hang up the skis.

Icy conditions forced the cancellation of high schools all across Western Massachusetts Tuesday, resulting in yet another postponement of a Pioneer Valley Interscholastic Athletic Conference race scheduled to take place at Berkshire East in Charlemont, as well as a smattering of other local sporting events.

Local ski teams from Westfield, St. Mary, and Gateway high schools will now have to wait until Thursday to hit the slopes for just the second time this season.

The postponements will now result in a 3-race week next week with races scheduled for Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.

Nearly a half-dozen local basketball games were also postponed. For an updated list of upcoming high school sporting events, visit our updated schedule at http:// thewestfieldnews.com/hs-standingsresultsschedules.

Pastrnak scores late in OT, Bruins beat Red Wings 4-3

By DOUG ALDEN Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — David Pastrnak's longawaited 20th goal of the season came at an opportune moment for the struggling Boston Bruins.

Pastrnak scored with 46.9 seconds left in overtime to lift the Bruins to a 4-3 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night, ending Boston's four-game losing streak.

"It's very nice to get the one — especially with the win," said Pastrnak, who hadn't scored since getting his 19th on Dec. 14 against Pittsburgh.

Brad Marchand had two goals as the Bruins won for the first time since beating Philadelphia 6-3 on Jan. 14. Boston also atoned for blowing a 3-0 lead against the Red Wings, who rallied to beat the Bruins 6-5 in a shootout six days before.

Pastrnak, who had an assist on Marchand's first goal, put an end to his 17-game stretch without a goal.

"It was just a matter of time," Boston coach Claude Julien said. "It's been a while and I think that he has been feeling the pressure and hopefully that's a step in the right direction for him."

Kevan Miller also scored for Boston and Tuukka Rask finished with 23 saves.

Mike Green had a goal and assist for the Red Wings, who extended their point streak to six straight games despite losing three straight in overtime.

"Right now not good just enough to get that point," Green said. "It does sting. We've

got to find a way to get it done in regular time because obviously things aren't bouncing our way in overtime."

Andreas Athanasiou and Tomas Tatar also scored and Henrik Zetterberg added two assists.

Jared Coreau finished with 45 saves in his second start against the Bruins in less than a week. He was pulled just 5:13 into the Red Wings' 6-5 shootout win at home last Wednesday after allowing three goals on eight shots.

This one also appeared headed for a shootout until Pastrnak ended it with his 20th of the season.

"I think the frustrating thing was that we were playing pretty well and then the other team just kept getting the lead," Marchand said. "We showed a lot of character and resiliency and got a great comeback win tonight."

Marchand's second goal of the game tied it 3-3 with 11:40 left in the third period on a rebound after Coreau stopped Patrice Bergeron twice from in front.

The Bruins had the first 12 shots of the game and took a 1-0 lead 3:39 in on a wrist shot by Kevan Miller from the left circle. It was the first goal of the season for Miller, who returned after missing four games with a concussion.

Detroit didn't have a shot on goal until Athanasiou scored on a breakaway at 10:59 to tie it at 1.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Westfield State competed at the Springfield College Maroon and White Classic on Saturday, a non scoring meet.

By IAN QUILLEN Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The Washington Wizards arrived dressed in black funeral wear for what they openly labeled a grudge match.

Bradley Beal made sure they won it.

Beal scored 13 of his 31 points in the fourth quarter, and the Wizards extended their home winning streak to 14 games with a 123-108 victory over the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night.

“I wanted to win, man. I wanted to win bad,” Beal said. “Especially to keep our home streak going. Especially after the last game we played them. We had a little chip on our shoulder.”

John Wall added 27 points, and Markieff Morris had 19 points and 11 rebounds as the Wizards exacted some revenge after complaining of dirty play in two previous meetings with the Celtics.

The second one, a 117-108 Celtics home win, featured five technical fouls and ended with Wall and Boston’s Jae Crowder nearly setting off a brawl.

That prompted the Wizards to show up to Verizon Center on Tuesday wearing all-black, funeral-themed clothing.

Wall’s apparel consisted of a designer T-shirt beneath a varsity-style jacket as he arrived.

Beal, who created the idea, arrived in an oversized black winter trenchcoat, complete with hood and matching scarf.

He would later have his best offensive night since that game in Boston.

“We just wanted to have fun, man,” he See Wizards, Celtics, Page 11

insisted afterward. “That’s all we were doing. Nothing personal. Of course it was a subliminal (message), but we were just having fun at the end of the day.”

Isaiah Thomas scored 25 points and had 13 assists, but shot 1 of 7 in the fourth quarter in Boston’s third straight loss.

Al Horford added 22 points and Crowder had 17 for Celtics. Boston allowed the Wizards to shoot 57.8 percent from the floor, its worst field goal percentage defense of the season.

“They got whatever they wanted on their offensive end,” said Crowder, who insisted the game took no extra significance for the Celtics.

“I don’t think it’s a rivalry,” He added.

“They won the game tonight. Next question.”

The Wizards never trailed and controlled the game throughout.

After building their lead to 12 three times in the second half, they finally stretched it to 110-97 when Beal hit a driving bank shot, absorbed Marcus Smart’s foul and converted a three-point play.

A few possessions later, Beal stole Crowder’s pass to Thomas and converted a finger roll to make it 114-100. Wall’s dunk and three-point play over Kelly Olynyk, complete with a biceps flex in the middle, made it 119-104.

“They seen everything that we said, and we seen what they said,” Wall said. “I think it was just a great team game. Nobody do anything dirty. Two teams competing (against) each other trying to get a win.”

TIP-INS Celtics: Shot 2 of 12 (16.7 percent) from 3-point range in the first quarter. ... Thomas

scored 20 or more points for the 28th consecutive game. ... C Tyler Zeller was available for the first time since a sinus infection sidelined him at the start of the new year. He did not play.

Wizards: Hold the league’s longest active home winning streak and would tie their third-longest in franchise history with their next home win. ... Made their first six field goals to take an early 13-6 lead. .. Improved to 3-7 in the second game of back-to-back sets.

GET ME IN, COACH Smart got into an argument with assistant coaches during the fourth quarter, and coach Brad Stevens said the dispute came because Smart wanted to return to play, but was on a minutes limit for the half.

“Of course I wanted to go back in, just like everyone else, to play it out and give it everything they have and leave it on the court,” Smart said. “We had different opinions.”

FASHION SENSE Wizards forward Otto Porter may have gotten the best reviews for his all black suit, complete with matching black shirt, tie and shades.

Washington coach Scott Brooks appreciated the team-bonding aspects of the idea, even if he wasn’t willing to join in.

“My daughter just texted me and she said, ‘Do not wear your black jeans, because you kind of look a little chunky in them,’” Brooks said. “So I wore my blue jeans tonight.”

UP NEXT Celtics: Complete their back-to-back set at home against Houston on Wednesday.

Wizards: Begin a two-game road swing at Atlanta on Friday.

Bruins

better," Detroit coach Jeff Blashill said. "I thought by the end of the first we had played better than certainly the first half. The first half was really, really bad."

Marchand put Boston up 2-1 with a powerplay goal late in the first period. Detroit was down a man after Jonathan Ericsson was called for playing the puck with a broken stick at center ice to prevent a breakaway for the Bruins.

Boston outshot Detroit 21-7 in the first period and had a 33-16 advantage in shots after two, but entered the third trailing 3-2 after the Red Wings scored twice in the second.

Green tied it at 2-all with a shot that deflected in off Miller's skate 6:25 into the second.

Gustav Nyquist got an assist, the 100th of his career.

Tatar gave Detroit its first lead with 8:09 left in the second with his 11th goal of the season, getting just enough on a shot between Rask's

legs for the puck to trickle through. Henrik Zetterberg assisted on both second-period goals.

NOTES: Detroit was without C Dylan Larkin and LW Thomas Vanek, who were tied for the team lead with 12 goals apiece. Detroit placed Larkin on seven-day injured reserve with an upper-body injury and Vanek was out with a lower-body injury. ... Miller's goal was Boston's first at home since Marchand scored on an empty net with 54 seconds remaining in a 6-3 win over Philadelphia on Jan. 14. The Bruins were shut out by the New York Islanders (4-0) and Chicago Blackhawks (1-0) in their previous two home games, a stretch of 1:24:33. ... C Dominic Moore assisted on Miller's goal for his first point since getting an assist Jan. 8 against Carolina.

UP NEXT Red Wings: Host Toronto on Wednesday night.

Bruins: Host Pittsburgh on Thursday night.

(13-6) figure to be in the mix again next season. Wide receiver Antonio Brown is still under contract, Bell will become a free agent but is expected to stick around and Martavis Bryant will be eligible for reinstatement after missing all of 2016 for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. The offensive line that allowed Roethlisberger to be sacked just 17 times in 14 games will remain intact.

There's plenty to be optimistic about. And the oddsmakers don't seem concerned about Roethlisberger's intentions, making the Steelers the early second choice (along with Green Bay) to reach next year's Super Bowl in Minneapolis.

Some other takeaways as Tomlin put the finishing touches on a successful if not triumphant year.

BATTERED BELL: Tomlin said Bell had been dealing with the groin injury that limited him to just six carries against the Patriots for some time but that the All-Pro had found a way to manage it without missing practice. Tomlin said he didn't feel the problem was significant enough to put Bell on the NFL-mandated injury report, pointing out the entire team could be placed on the report due to various bumps and bruises associated with playing four-plus months.

BROWN NEEDS TO DELIVER: Tomlin downplayed the notion that Brown needs to become a more mature player even though Tomlin publicly chastised Brown's decision to livestream portions of the locker room celebration following a divisional round victory over Kansas City. "He's a dynamic player (and) there are responsibilities that come with being a dynamic player," said Tomlin, who added outlining the responsibilities is "normal operating business" for all players.

SEE YOU IN 2017?: Linebacker James Harrison will become a free agent in March and turns 39 in May but has already publicly talked about making another run.

SECOND GUESSING: Tomlin became the eighth coach to win 100 games in his first 10 seasons, remarkable in most places, but maybe not in Pittsburgh. It's a standard Tomlin embraces. "My goal was to be world champs and we weren't that," Tomlin said. "You can describe that in whatever way you choose to. In that vein I've only been successful one time in 10 years and I'm OK with that."

Dear Annie

By ANNIE LANE

Mending a Broken Heart Dear Annie: I am writing to you with my heart completely shattered. Someone I had been seeing for a while, whom I thought felt the same for me as I do for him, made a complete fool out of me and burned me to the ground.

I am not a clinging vine and was very understanding about his job and never made demands on his time. He lied to me, blew me off and just stopped communicating with me. He wouldn’t answer my calls or reply to my text messages. I have not slept well in almost a week.

My wise-beyond-her-years daughter told me not to let him have so much power over me, but I am having a very hard time with this. What can I do to put him out of my mind and move on? I didn’t deserve what he did to me, and I know he doesn’t deserve me, but that doesn’t make this hurt any less. Any advice? -- Brokenhearted in North Dakota Dear Brokenhearted: In this case, daughter knows best.

She sounds like an intelligent, kind young woman, and you must be a remarkable woman yourself to have fostered those qualities in her. Keep setting a great example. Act how you’d want her to act if some guy did this to her.

As for making it hurt less, time is the best salve, but exercise works wonders, too. Make a playlist of empowering songs and go for a run, do yoga or just jump around the house.

Although it hurts terribly now, that ache in your heart will get a little duller every day. Any man who’s too cowardly to have an honest conversation is not worth your time. Eventually, you’ll want to thank this loser for breaking up with you.

Dear Annie: I hope you can help me with my request. It came to my attention the other day that many elderly people and those without a computer are not aware of those family members and friends who post online condolences.

A 90-year-old family friend of mine had no idea that over two dozen people had written to her and her family when her husband passed away two years ago. I copied this information for her and sent it to her. She was very grateful. She was also a bit hurt that the funeral home and her own children did not think or care to do the same. Please, Annie, put the word out there. Funeral homes should make this a part of their package.

She called me again to say that she has called several of the people who posted their condolences online, and she said that this is the best she has felt in over two years! It’s such a small thing to do when someone is mourning, but it means so much.

-- Spreading the Compassion Dear Spreading: Thank you for this thoughtful note. In this day and age, many people have forgotten how to truly reach out to others outside of social media. I’m sure your message will inspire a few.

HINTS FROM HELOISE PASTA PROBLEM: WHY SO MUCH WATER? Dear Heloise: Why do all the PASTA RECIPES begin with the directions “Bring a large pot of 4 to 6 quarts of water to a rapid boil”? Do we really need to use that much water, and if so, why?

-- Samantha T. in New York Yes, especially if making a pound or more of pasta. One reason is that it helps keep the pasta from sticking together while cooking. It provides lots of room for the pasta to move around while washing away the starch from the pasta. The other reason is, if cooking larger, longer pastas like spaghetti and fettuccine, a lot of water is needed. Or I break them in half before putting them in the pot. I know! Sacrilege! Also, it’s easier to eat, I think.

Small amounts of pasta can be made in a smaller pot with less water, but why not go the safe route for the perfect pasta? -Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 78279-5000 Fax: 210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com FLAVORED OILS Dear Heloise: I save oil from jars of minced garlic, roasted red peppers, marinated artichoke hearts and other similar items in the refrigerator. When I need a quick appetizer, I drizzle the flavored oils over cream cheese to create a cracker topping that is unique and delicious! There are so many options, and I am never disappointed with the taste. -- Gayle F., Knoxville, Tenn.

STALE CAKE Dear Heloise: I love to bake cakes, but find that many times, after slicing a piece off the cake, it quickly gets hard and stale where the cut was made. Do you have a hint to prevent this from happening in the future? -- Kim B., via email Sure do! When you have cut the last slice, take a piece of wax or parchment paper and place it over the sliced areas. Each time you remove a slice, continue resealing the cut area with the paper.

This will help keep the cake stay fresher longer. -- Heloise

Both NFL conference championships reach more than 45 million

By DAVID BAUDER AP Television Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Lopsided contests to determine Super Bowl participants didn’t prevent each of the NFL conference championship games from reaching more than 45 million television viewers on Sunday.

The Nielsen company said that 47.95 million people watched the New England Patriots beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC conference game. Earlier in the day, the Atlanta Falcons’ victory over the Green Bay Packers in the NFC contest was seen by 46.28 million viewers.

Neither game was particularly competitive; the Falcons had a 24-0 lead at halftime. Still, that game’s audience was bigger than last year’s NFC game (45.7 million), perhaps because the Packers are one of the league’s marquee teams.

The Patriots and Steelers have more Super Bowl appearances than any other AFC teams. But with New England dominating, the game had a smaller audience than the 2016 game between New England and Denver, which drew 53.3 million viewers, Nielsen said.

The football boosted CBS to an easy win in prime time, averaging 13.3 million viewers for the week. NBC had 4.6 million, ABC had 4.1 million, Fox had 3 million, Univision had 2 million, Telemundo had 1.6 million, ION Television

had 1.3 million and the CW had 920,000.

On inauguration week, Fox News Channel dominated the cable ratings, averaging 3.8 million viewers in prime-time.

CNN had 1.73 million, HGTV had 1.62 million, USA had 1.56 million and TBS had 1.41 million.

NBC’s “Nightly News” topped the evening newscasts with an average of 9.4 million viewers. ABC’s “World News Tonight” was second with 9.1 million and the “CBS Evening News” had 7.5 million viewers.

For the week of Jan. 16-22, the top 10 prime-time shows, their networks and viewerships: AFC Championship: Pittsburgh at New England, CBS, 47.95 million; “Championship Post-Game,” CBS, 22.66 million; “NCIS,” CBS, 15.5 million; “The Big Bang Theory,” CBS, 15.16 million; “Hunted,” CBS, 11.85 million; “Bull,” CBS, 11.11 million; “Blue Bloods,” CBS, 9.77 million; “This is Us,” NBC, 9.59 million; “NCIS: New Orleans,” CBS, 9.33 million; “Kevin Can Wait,” CBS, 8.67 million.

——— ABC is owned by The Walt Disney Co. CBS is owned by CBS Corp. CW is a joint venture of Warner Bros. Entertainment and CBS Corp. Fox is owned by 21st Century Fox. NBC and Telemundo are owned by Comcast Corp. ION Television is owned by ION Media Networks.

Erin Andrews had cervical cancer surgery during NFL season LOS ANGELES (AP) — Erin Andrews says she battled cervical cancer during the NFL season, months after winning a lawsuit against a stalker.

The 38-year-old Fox Sports sideline reporter and "Dancing with the Stars" co-host tells Sports Illustrated's MMQB she underwent surgery at CedarsSinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on Oct. 11.

Before she was wheeled into the operating room, Andrews says she told her oncologist: "I'm not watching any football games at home. This is (Fox's) Super Bowl year, and I'm not missing the Super Bowl."

She was back on the sidelines five days later. She says her doctor didn't recommend a return to work so soon.

"Should I have been standing for a full game five days after surgery? Let's just say the doctor didn't recommend that," Andrews says. "But just as I felt during my trial, sports were my escape. I needed to be with my crew."

Andrews says she underwent a second procedure Nov. 1 and was told later that month radiation and chemotherapy would not be needed.

Andrews settled last year with two hotel companies that were found partially to blame for the stalker, who got a hotel room next to hers and posted nude video of her on the internet.

"After the trial everyone kept telling me, 'You're so strong, for going through all of this, for holding down a job in football, for being the only woman on the crew,'" Andrews says. "Finally I got to the point where I believed it too. 'Hey, I have cancer, but damn it, I am strong, and I can do this.'"

YOUR

HOROSCOPE

By Jaqueline Bigar

DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2017: This year you see life from a very different perspective than in the past. You feel that if you can conjure up a dream or goal, you can make it happen. You communicate your feelings with precision when you choose to. If you are single, you might blur the line between reality and a romantic fantasy. Be aware of your choices, and be a cynic if need be. If you are attached, the two of you spend a lot of time pursuing your mutual long-term desires. This behavior creates a stronger foundation between you. CAPRICORN tends to play devil’s advocate for you.

Tonight: Opt for togetherness.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Look to the long term, and tighten up a project. You might even choose go back to school to take a brushup course in your field. Count on viable feedback from a close friend. Your instincts come through with an older person. Tonight: Opt for an important conversation.

Tonight: All smiles.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HH Listen to news, and stay centered.
