Planning Board meeting ‘adjourned’
Excavation continues on a new running track at the Powder Mill Middle School in Southwick, foreground, after philanthropist Steven Nielsen made a donation of approximately $500,000 for the replacement of the 30-plus year-old track, which is already named for Dick Atkinson, a retired Southwick-Tolland-Granville Regional High School teacher. Town residents also approved a $150,000 transfer from Community Preservation Act funds to complete the project. Nielsen, who lives in Florida, approached School Superintendent John Barry about building a new track last fall. Barry expects the track will be complete by mid-September. (Photo by Frederick Gore)
Town school projects progress By Peter Francis Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – A meeting of the SouthwickTolland Regional School Building Committee yesterday served as an opportunity for project heads to share status reports on the building projects currently in progress at Woodland and Powder Mill Schools and Southwick-Tolland Middle/High School. Project Manager Michael McGarry of Strategic Building Solutions stated that the projects are running into a few small snags, but that contractors RUSSELL FOX and laborers will be working extra hours and weekends to ensure the building projects are completed on time. “Up at the high school/middle school in the middle school addition, they’re actually painting walls and getting ready for interior finishes,” he said. “In the high school addition, the drywall is going up, mechanical/ electrical roughings are going in.” McGarry added that in the existing building, the demolition abatement of the work that began in June has been completed, and that mechanical/ electrical installations have begun there. He has set August 20 as a substantial completion date. “At Powder Mill School, we’re proceeding on schedule. The demoli-
tion and abatement is essentially complete and we’re working on mechanical, electrical plumbing routes, new windows are being installed,” he said, listing that project’s substantial completion date as “around August 20.” August 20 is also the magic number for Woodland, which is in the final phase of it’s renovation, and it’s demo abatement is near completion with mechanical systems are going in, according to McGarry. “It’s new roof has been completed over there, new windows are going in, and if all goes according to plan, we’ll be taking down the temporary classrooms in the fall,” he said. A change order was also approved by the committee for items at each of the three schools, ranging from the replacement of showers and ventilation systems at the high school, to replacing blackboards with modern whiteboards at Powder Mill. “Change order 7 is additional costs and credits to the building project based on the work thats taking place in the field,” said Steve Presnal, school business manager for the town of Southwick. “Based on the conditions they’re finding, things that have to be addressed.” When asked of his take on the progession of the three projects, Presnal said that the contractors are “in high gear.” “Everybody is doing the best they can to get it done so that we can start school on time. Right now we’re cautiously optimistic we’re going to See Projects Progress, Page 3
Weather pattern filling Granville reservoir By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The weather pattern of cold Canadian air colliding with moist tropical air sweeping up the eastern half of the country has, and apparently will continue, to result on severe summer weather. The cycle of storms is helping to fill the city’s Granville Reservoir after it was emptied during repairs to the earthen dam, dam spillway and raw water transmission line which carries reservoir water to the city’s surface water treatment plant in Southwick. The Water Resource Department anticipated that Granville Reservoir would not have sufficient water to bring it and the treatment plant back on line until the fall, late September or October, and requested the Water Commission to extend its mandatory water ban on the outdoor use of water for a second year, a request that was approved at the beginning of this summer. The constant pattern of days of rain may hasten the filling of the reservoir and allow the city to return the treatment plant to service. The raw water intake is 18 feet below the dam spillway and the intake is usually several feet below the surface of the reservoir to provide adequate pressure at the treatment plant “It’s 40 and a half feet below the intake, so the level of the reservoir increased by eight feet since we closed the (outlet) valve last week,” Water Resource Engineer Charles Darling said. “We’ll see what the rain does (to raise the level) today. This will be good to fill the reservoir.” The city has drawn water from aquifers since the treatment plant was closed, a much more expensive source of water because of the cost of electrical power to operate the pumps. Relying on the wells has also created problems in some areas of the city with water pressure. The treatment plant feeding the Sackett water storage tank is at a higher elevation, which increases water pressure system wide. The treatment plant also injects chlorine into the water distribution system which inhibits bacterial growth, particularly in long dead-end pipes where water tends to not steadily move, an environment conducive to bacteria growth. The flow of water back into the impound area of the reservoir will create another problem, turbidity. “The rains will wash a lot of sediment into the reservoir,” Darling said. “We’ll have to wait a couple of days to let that settle before we open the intake to the treatment plant.”
“Once we start getting water to the plant, we can begin the start-up process, testing everything, washing the filter beds,” Darling said. “It will be very good to have the plant back. “If the summer stays wet it could happen sooner than we expected,” Darling said. “So maybe (the reservoir) fills more quickly than we expected. Usually we don’t get a lot of rain in July and the grass turns brown by the end of the month, but not this year.” Granville Reservoir holds 600 million gallons of water and has increased the water level to about 18 feet below the top of the dam to operate the treatment plant which will take two to three weeks to be put back on line after the water starts to flow from the reservoir.
The Granville Reservoir remains dry as a safety inspection is performed last month. (File photo by Frederick Gore)
By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Planning Board issued an “administrative continuance” for two public hearing items on the agenda and adjourned until its next posted meeting, Aug. 19, because enough members were not in attendance to constitute a quorum. Four of the current seven members were present for roll call, a number which has historically been considered a quorum, but that definition has changed as the result of an opinion handed down by the Law Department. The Planning Board is comprised of seven voting members, six ward representatives and one At-large member, and two alternative members who can vote in certain restricted situations, such as when a full voting member is not eligible. State law requires that Planning Board members attend the public hearing on special permit and subdivision petitions and that they are ineligible to vote if they missed a public hearing session. A public hearing can be conducted in one session or spread over months, making perfect attendance less likely. An example of a public hearing which spans months and multiple meetings was on the agenda last night, a special permit, site plan and stormwater plan submitted on March 18 by Julie and Nabil Hannoush, who are represented by Levesque Associates, Inc., for their property at 99 Springfield Road. The alternates are available to vote for an ineligible voting member if the alternate has attended all of the public hearing sessions. The current two alternates vote regularly because the board is short two “voting” members, a Ward 1 representative and the At-large representative. Principal Planner Jay Vinskey requested the Law Department to provide him with guidance because a new subdivision was reviewed by the board, which falls under different, although similar, state and local laws and regulations than special permits. Assistant City Solicitor Shanna Reed cited Massachusetts General Law (MGL), Chapter 40A, section 9 and 81A, stating that in the absence of local ordinance specifically defining the roll of alternate members, they are to be considered to be members of the Planning Board for subdivision control applications. State Law further required a 2/3 super majority to grant special permits, which on a seven member board is affirmative votes of five members, which historically has been the practice in Westfield. If the board consists of nine members, that super majority increases to six affirmative votes. Reed said “…there is no mention of associate membership in the provision of the zoning ordinance that speaks to the Planning Board in their role as (a) special permit granting authority.” Vinskey said that the issues would be a subject of discussion by the Planning Board in the future to identify some resolution to maintaining its past practices with regard to participation of the associate members.

Key Club scholarships WESTFIELD – Key Club is the high school version of an adult Kiwanis club performing service for their community. The group of the Key Club scholarship recipients this year at Westfield High School has collectively performed 1631 service hours during their 4 year high school career. This year $5,350 was distributed to eleven deserving Key Club students. The club keeps a very elaborate database on each student and the amount each student received this year was determined on a weighting formula calculated on years in Key Club, meeting attendance, office held, and service hours. Service was weighted 4 times more than the other 3 conditions. Monies for these scholarships are raised from the Polish Open/Diane Anair Annual Golf Tournament. We ask parents, friends, businesses, etc. for support to keep this program alive. If you golf then we would love to have you playing in our 8th annual tournament at the Southampton Country Club on August 2. If you don’t then there are other ways you can contribute. Please consider participation at any level you feel comfortable. For more information please call Andy Oleksak at 568-7950.

Boulder, Colorado, celebrates Tube To Work Day BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — A few commuters in Boulder, Colorado, may have arrived at work dripping wet because they observed Tube To Work Day. The lighthearted holiday hit seven years Tuesday. It began with two men tubing to work along Boulder Creek in 2008. Last year, it saw almost 30 participants, some wearing wetsuits and some wearing business suits. The event typically takes place in June to line up with Boulder’s Bike to Work Day. But the Daily Camera reports (http://bit.ly/1qZhv16 ) safety concerns because of the volume of water forced it to be pushed to July this year. The city of Boulder sponsored a breakfast station off the creek. The public was invited to participate, but commuters were required to bring their own tubes.

104th Fighter Wing supports Westfield Vocational School By 2nd Lt. Bonnie Harper, Public Affairs Officer WESTFIELD, Mass. – The 104th Fighter Wing provided an F-15 aircraft as a static display for the Westfield Vocational School Advisory Committee’s meeting held on July 8 at Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport here. “The F-15 Eagle serves as a visual reminder of the role airpower plays in our nation and our community here at the 104th Fighter Wing, co-located with the Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport,” said Col. Pete Green, 104th Fighter Wing Maintenance Group Commander. The meeting focused on the idea of creating a new Airframe and Powerplant program through the vocational school. Students would be offered an accelerated program in airplane maintenance and manufacturing at Barnes Airport. After graduating high school, students would move directly into an expanded airrelated program at Westfield State University, certified with the A&P license.
The goal would be to increase the number of qualified aircraft mechanics who are ready to work for local companies who are seeking licensed workers. The Westfield area is already a hub for the air industry, including the 104th Fighter Wing and other industries such as Gulfstream, Aero Fastener Co., and B&E Precision Aircraft Components. “Having the military in our community is invaluable,” said Rob Ollari, Director of Student Services at Westfield Vocational School. “This program is a great opportunity for collaboration between local civilian and military aviation.” Early education is a viable pathway to the field of aviation, and Westfield Voc is also in the process of starting a Junior Air Force ROTC program in conjunction with the 104th Fighter Wing, said Ollari. In addition to a Junior Air Force ROTC program, graduates of Westfield Voc can look to the Air National Guard as a means for continuing their aviation
education, employment, and college funding. By joining the Air National Guard, all actively participating Airmen are entitled to a 100% reduction of tuition and fees at any state-funded college program as a full-time or part-time student. Westfield State University is one of more than 30 schools in Massachusetts eligible for the Mass. National Guard 100% Tuition Waiver Program. “The 104th Fighter Wing’s Maintenance Group is a potential full and part time employer for students who graduate through this program,” Green said. “We are always looking for trained, talented people who are passionate about aircraft maintenance to join our team. We look forward to supporting the Westfield Vocational School as they move forward with implementing the A&P program.” The program is still in the initial stages of development, with hopes to be up and running as early as Fall 2015, said Airport Manager Brian Barnes. The 104th Fighter Wing provided an F-15 aircraft as a static display for the Westfield Vocational School Advisory Committee’s meeting held on July 8 at Westfield- Barnes Regional Airport here, also serving as a visual reminder of the role airpower plays in our nation and community. Members of the committee met with other local officials to discuss idea of creating a new Airframe and Powerplant program through the vocational school. Students would be offered an accelerated program in airplane maintenance and manufacturing at Barnes Airport. After graduating high school, students would move directly into an expanded air-related program at Westfield State University, certified with the A&P license.

In July 2013, Barnes proposed two energy-saving projects for the WG&E program. The first project targeted improving water tank insulation and hangar lighting, resulting in a $19,857 rebate check in October 2013. The second project focused on improving exterior lighting, bringing Barnes to a total rebate of $50,000 for their 2013 proposed projects, Fitzgerald said.

It’s the middle of July and as usual many roads have not been painted with the yellow or white lines. With all the idiots texting and on their cell phones this is a major safety issue. The lines may help a driver realize that they are over the center line but with no lines it becomes a major safety issue. The little river bridge should be painted so as to keep cars from coming into the other lane. I will mention one more where little river road runs into route 20 all the safety stripes are missing or faded out. In general the roads in Westfield are a disgrace, the patching is hideous. Getting back to the marking of the roads if an accident was caused by not having the proper lines I wonder if the city could be held liable in contributing to the accident, especially at night time? One more thought the paint as well as the tar that the city purchases need to be improved as the quality sucks!!!! I wonder how much money Mr. Dobelle will get from his lawsuit? This was an example of hiring the wrong person, all that was needed in the hiring process was to Google his name and you would have known what type of person he was. I believe that anyone who had anything to do with his hiring should be fired as they are incompetent in their job. This will never happen and the citizens of Westfield will pick up the tab as always.

FCC Web woes extend net neutrality deadline By Katy Bachman and Brooks Boliek Politico.com The FCC could have used an Internet “fast lane” on Tuesday as a flood of net neutrality comments caused its website to sputter and forced the agency to extend its deadline for accepting public input. The comment deadline had been set for midnight Tuesday, and FCC officials hope the additional time — until midnight Friday — will give people who’ve had problems filing the chance to have their voices heard. Chairman Tom Wheeler’s net neutrality proposal has sparked a firestorm for allowing Internet-service providers like AT&T and Verizon to charge companies for faster delivery of content. As of late Monday, there were 677,000 comments filed in the proceeding. Wheeler has said he’d like the commission to make a decision by the end of the year. Earlier Tuesday, thirteen senators urged Wheeler to treat the Internet as a utility like phone service, saying it’s the only way to preserve an open Internet. Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), who penned the letter, was joined by fellow Democrats Al Franken (Minn.), Chuck Schumer (N.Y.), Ron Wyden (Ore.), Richard Blumenthal (Conn.), Jeff Merkley (Ore.), Elizabeth Warren (Mass.), Sheldon Whitehouse (R.I.), Ben Cardin (Md.), Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.), Cory Booker (N.J.), and Barbara Boxer (Calif.) and independent Bernie Sanders (Vt.). “If the FCC allows big corporations to negotiate fast lane deals, the Internet will be sold to the highest bidder,” Sanders said at a news conference. Calling Wheeler’s proposal almost “Orwellian,” Franken warned, “Imagine if moods were controlled by corporations with deep pockets.”

House panel clears bill targeting EPA By David Rogers Politico.com A $30.2 billion natural resources bill cleared the House Appropriations Committee Tuesday after a spirited, sometimes brass knuckle fight over dozens of Republican riders challenging President Barack Obama’s environmental and wildlife agenda. The Environmental Protection Agency was the chief target, together with its proposed rule to cut greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired power plants. But the list stretched to include trade in African ivory, the future of the Western sage grouse and even a minor EPA rule seeking to garnish the wages of 14 individuals said to owe the government an estimated $228,000. In a bit of bipartisan, almost comic relief, the committee took a break early on to declare that George Washington’s birthday should be restored to its historic place of Feb. 22 — not the confines of the earlier Presidents Day. But little that followed was so amicable, and after 3½ hours, the bill only won approval on a largely partisan 29-19 vote. To be sure, the committee preserved some of its famous camaraderie, but it was a debate where members didn’t mince words. The ranking Democrat, New York Rep. Nita Lowey, described the measure as a “demonstration of solidarity with climate change deniers and the coal industry.” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) called it “ignorant and callously indifferent” to the evidence of climate change. Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers (R-Ky.) responded in kind, accusing the White House of being “hell bent on adding layer after layer of regulatory red tape to the economy” and hurting coal miners in his home state. Taking the lead for Democrats was Virginia Rep. Jim Moran, now in his last months in Congress after years of helping to manage the annual natural resources budget. By his count, the GOP had added at least 24 riders, guaranteeing a veto fight with the president. And on top of the legislative restrictions, the EPA’s budget would be cut $717 million
or 9 percent below its current funding. “This indiscriminate cutting has been compounded by those who think more about the next election rather than the next generation,” said Moran. “It is time to stop thinking of EPA accounts as a defenseless grab bag for other agencies and programs in this bill.” But Republicans were firmly in control, and Moran ultimately agreed to a voice vote on his last attempt to overturn restrictions of the Fish and Wildlife Service regarding the sage grouse. “It is an iconic species of the West,” Moran said of the sage grouse. “Its population has declined to 10 percent of its historic numbers. It is the proverbial canary in the coal mine. If it goes it signals the potential collapse of a very important Western ecosystem.” But Western Republicans countered that more time was needed to come up with a workable conservation program to manage the bird’s habitat. “You know what the biggest threat is to sage grouse habitat? Wildfire, it destroys more habitat than anything else,” said Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho). “You know what one of the things is that prevents those rangeland fires from spreading? Grazing.” “So there are some conflicts that go on here and they are working hard, the states and the federal government together, to develop state management plans…We just need the time to do it.” Simpson’s allusion to wildfires seemed deliberate—touching on one issue where he and Moran share an interest in changing the way fire-fighting costs are paid for under the bill. Simpson has drafted legislation—embraced by Moran and Obama—that would treat some of these expenses as disaster costs—outside the budget caps negotiated last December. And before the natural resources bill reaches the president’s desk, all three are hoping that some agreement can be reached on these changes. That would leave money, perhaps, for the EPA. Then again, there will still be the riders.
Clinton talks Gaza, media scrutiny on show By Maggie Haberman Staff Writer Hillary Clinton joked about an office with “fewer corners” and said she’s surprised at the “cottage industry” of interest in her but got serious talking about the violence in the Mideast on Tuesday in an interview with “The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart. In her first comments on the broken Gaza cease-fire, the former secretary of state expressed sympathy for people in Gaza who are “trapped by their leadership” but also said Israel has a right to defend itself. “When I negotiated the cease-fire in November of 2012, it was right on the brink with Israel once again invading Gaza because of the rockets … and the Israelis are absolutely right in saying that they can’t just sit there and let rockets rain down,” Clinton told the Comedy Central host. “They have a missile defense which is working well, but that can’t be certain, and now there are drones, apparently, that are being launched from Gaza.” Clinton said the Hamas leadership is now viewed as a threat by the Egyptian government, saying that Hamas isn’t interested in making “the situation too much better because that gives them a lot of leverage over the poor people in Gaza.” “Unless we can give people enough of a sense of security on both sides that they will be better off and their children are going to be better off,” Clinton added, “then the guys with the guns can always disrupt anything.” For Clinton, it was a chance to show a lighter side that her friends and aides insist is on display in private but is not frequently seen in public. At one point, Stewart asked her about her “dead broke” comments, pertaining to how she and her husband were in debt coming out of the White House. Clinton repeated her recent cleanup, calling the comments “inartful” and saying she wants to make sure everyone has opportunities to succeed in the United States. Stewart interrupted her and said he knew she was running for president because of how quickly she pivoted from the “dead broke” line “to income inequality.” Clinton said a “combination” of factors is contributing to the Washington toxicity, including a “Congress that’s no longer functioning” but that’s “very focused on taking on special interests.” But she said there’s a ton of lethargy in the bureaucracy of the executive branch. There is a “very difficult situation in our executive branch because — I think if President Obama were here, he would be the first to say — it has not kept up with the times,” she said. Clinton also was asked bluntly by Stewart about running for
president at the beginning of the roughly 20-minute interview, which was aimed at promoting her book, “Hard Choices,” which she is pushing to keep toward the top of the bestseller list. Stewart encouraged her to announce her candidacy on his show, referring to her book and saying, “I think I speak for everybody when I say nobody cares; they just want to know if you are running for president.” The crowd howled. Clinton said he had been a “spoiler,” adding, “I think I’ll just reconsider where I go do it.” Clinton did little of the “if-I-run” pushback she’s engaged in during most recent interviews while sitting with Stewart, joking along with him about her next job. When Stewart referenced two new unauthorized books about her and her family and pointed out that a lot of the interest in her would just go away if she said she was not running, she said, “I think a lot of people would lose their jobs if it stopped.” “I’ve been amazed at what a cottage industry it has become,” said Clinton, who has been the focus of intense media interest since her days as first lady in the White House. When Stewart pretended to give her a quiz to help her find her next job, she said she would like an office with “fewer corner
Poll: Immigration U.S. top problem By Jonathan Topaz Politico.com A plurality of Americans believes immigration is the most important problem facing the U.S., a new poll says. According to a Gallup poll released Wednesday, 17 percent of Americans think immigration is the country’s biggest problem, a major jump just from last month, when 5 percent listed immigration for the same question. This is the highest that immigration has ranked in the Gallup survey since 2006. Historically, spikes in mentions of immigration as the top issue have quickly receded. In the past month, the Obama administration and Congress have been confronted with a crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border, where more than 50,000 undocumented children from Central America have arrived since October. A Washington Post/ABC News survey released Tuesday showed that a more than half of Americans disapprove of President Barack Obama’s handling of the situation at the border and two-thirds See Immigration, Page 5

disapprove of congressional Republicans’ approach. In Wednesday’s survey, respondents were split on which party was better suited to tackle immigration — 35 percent said Republicans are better able to handle the problem and 35 percent said Democrats. Twenty-three percent of Republicans mentioned immigration as the biggest problem, compared with just 11 percent of Democrats, a finding that Gallup said could suggest the numbers are fueled primarily by concerns about illegal immigration. Sixteen percent of respondents said dissatisfaction with government, poor leadership and corruption is the country’s biggest problem, putting that in second place. The economy came in third with 15 percent, unemployment and jobs in fourth with 14 percent and health care rounded out the top five with 8 percent. Those problems scored ahead of other issues including the federal budget deficit and debt, education, poverty, taxes and wage issues. The survey was conducted July 7-10 with 1,013 adults. The margin for error is plus-or-minus four percentage points.
Reports finds that MassDOT has too many cars BOSTON (AP) — A state Inspector General’s report says the Massachusetts Transportation Department owns more cars than it needs, and those vehicles are often used inappropriately by employees. The audit found that some agency vehicles are used by employees for routine commuting in violation of state law, and some staffers assigned take-home vehicles to use in case of off-duty emergencies do not regularly respond to emergencies. Auditors also found that about 180 state-owned vehicles lacked valid safety and emissions inspection stickers, while dozens had commercial or private license plates rather than official state plates. The report said the agency spent $3.4 million to buy alternative fuel vehicles but failed to retire gas-powered vehicles. A department spokesman tells The Boston Globe (http://bit. ly/1nvPuZt ) the agency will soon adopt policies to address some issues raised in the report.
When it comes to 21st century multimedia platforms, “hyper local” is a term you hear a lot. It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newspapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore. But, day in and day out, The Westfield News provides consistant coverage of the stories you need to know about, that are important to your city, town, neighborhood and home.

Rethinking a healthy breakfast
Meal in a muffin By SARA MOULTON Associated Press When fall rolls around and it’s back to school and work, wouldn’t you love to start your day with something tastier and more substantial than that all-too-typical bowl of cold cereal? It’s just so boring day after day. And that’s apart from the fact that most cereals will fail to tide you over until lunchtime. Here, then, is a meal in a muffin, a delicious and substantial alternative to the usual breakfast fare. The base is a mix of white whole-wheat and all-purpose flours. Don’t fret over the whole wheat. White whole-wheat flour — which is available at most supermarkets — is made from a variety of wheat that is lighter in color and flavor than a traditional whole wheat, but just as healthy. The flour mix is moistened with eggs (a terrific source of protein), a combo of olive oil and just a little butter, as well as a bit of buttermilk and some Greek yogurt. The latter is a wonderful ingredient. Somehow the version with zero fat delivers all of the creamy mouth feel and tangy depth of flavor that anyone could wish for. And it boasts double the protein of regular yogurt. Next come the veggies. I’ve chosen broccoli and roasted red peppers, but you’re welcome to replace them with carrots or chopped green beans. Your choice, as long as they add up to 1 3/4 cups. And by the way, you don’t need to pre-cook the vegetables before adding
them to the batter. I’ve amped up the flavor with modest amounts of Canadian bacon and full-fat cheddar cheese. The finished muffins are good to go: tasty and filling without a ton of sugar and fat. Breakfast may never be the same. For that matter, these muffins would be great for lunch, too. ——— BROCCOLI CHEDDAR BREAKFAST MUFFINS Start to finish: 1 hour (35 minutes active) Makes 12 muffins 2 cups white whole-wheat flour 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt 3/4 cup buttermilk 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 3/4 cup finely chopped roasted red peppers, plus 1/4 cup of the pepper liquid from the jar 1 cup small raw broccoli florets or chopped thawed frozen broccoli florets 1/2 cup diced Canadian bacon (about 3 ounces) 3/4 cup coarsely grated sharp cheddar cheese (about 3 ounces), divided Heat the oven to 425 F.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, buttermilk, olive oil, butter and pepper juice (if the jar did not have 1/4 cup of juice in it, supplement with water). Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir just until combined. Add the peppers, broccoli, bacon and 1/2 cup of the cheese, stirring well. Scoop the batter (it will be quite thick) into
the muffin cups, filling them completely. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the tops of the muffins. Bake on the oven’s middle shelf until the tops are golden, about 25 minutes.

Aronia berry gaining market foothold in U.S. By MARGERY A. BECK, Associated Press MISSOURI VALLEY, Iowa (AP) — A new fruit that research says packs more antioxidants than popular “superfoods” like blueberries, acai berries and goji berries is establishing itself in the aisles of mainstream grocery stores, showing up in everything from juices to powdered supplements to baby food. Its rise from being a novelty item at farmers markets into a multimillion-dollar U.S. industry even includes a name change, from the common chokeberry — so named centuries ago by European settlers who found the tart, astringent berry more pretty than palatable — to the aronia berry, derived from its genus, Aronia melanocarpa. The native North American berry was introduced in Russia and eastern Europe in the early 20th century and has been cultivated there for juices and wines. Now, farmers throughout the upper Midwest are planting the shrubs by the thousands every year. But the industry’s roots in the U.S. can be traced to Sawmill Hollow Family Farm in the Loess Hills of western Iowa, where most in the industry believe the first bushes were planted for commercial cultivation in the U.S. Andrew Pittz, 28, is the driving force behind the aronia berry’s emergence. His family was looking for a crop they could cultivate on the hilly, silt-heavy soil near the Missouri River, and in 1997, Pittz’s parents planted some 200 bushes. The bush grows well in the Midwest, has few pests and doesn’t have to be replanted every year. The Pittz family was successful: Sawmill Hollow products now are sold in about half of Hy-Vee’s 237 stores, and in all of Whole Foods’ 45 Midwest-region stores, according to spokeswomen for the chains. Rather than keep the berry and its economic potential under wraps, Pittz and his family have been spreading word far and wide — especially throughout Iowa. The farm holds an annual field day that draws thousands in September, and Pittz planted bushes in all 99 Iowa counties last year. Even Iowa State University is helping promote the berry as a value-added crop and a good way to diversify farm income, offering grants to help people get started. “We want the aronia berry to be to Iowa’s Heartland what the peach is to Georgia.” Pittz said. His family also has taught others how to plant, grow and market the almost black-purple, pea-sized berries. They even share best practices for pruning the bushes for maximum yield, which they developed over nearly 18 years of trial and error. A mature bush at four to five years can produce up to 20 pounds. Consumers are taking notice of the potential health benefits, said Stacey Loftus, Hy-Vee’s health and wellness supervisor. Research published last year in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry says aronia’s oxygen radical absorbance capacity — a standard measurement of antioxidant strength — shows the berry has one of the highest values ever recorded for a fruit. “I don’t think this is a passing fad,” she said. Antioxidants help protect cells from damage, although there are questions in the medical field as to what role antioxidants play in helping prevent human disease. Federal regulators have, in recent years, targeted companies that have made unsubstantiated health claims about antioxidantcontaining products. Last year, the Federal Trade Commission upheld a judge’s decision that POM Wonderful made deceptive claims that its pomegranate products could treat or prevent heart disease, prostate cancer and other illnesses. The FTC’s action is pending in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

A few years ago, few people had ever heard of the Aronia berry, a pretty, but tart fruit. Now, the berry has set its sights on becoming the next “superfood” and is in hundreds of products worldwide. (AP Photo/ Nati Harnik)
More than 440 new products containing aronia — mostly in juices, wines and other drinks — have been introduced worldwide in the last five years; about 60 of those are in the United States, according to the 2013 University of Nebraska-Lincoln Food Processing Center’s Product Traffic Report, supported by the U.S. Agriculture Department to track new food products. Aside from Sawmill Hollow products, widely distributed mainstream brands have jumped on board, such as Old Orchard juices and Beechnut baby foods, which introduced an apple and aronia berries puree this year. The first aronia cooperative — the North America Aronia Cooperative, based in Omaha, Nebraska — was formed earlier this year with members from 10 Midwestern and Great Plains states. Group president Colleen Nipp says the co-op is capable of producing up to 20 million pounds of fruit a year and estimates the current economic impact is about $85 million, “which includes plant sales, berry sales, processing charges, harvesting equipment, growing supplies, irrigation equipment
Obama books summer getaway on Martha’s Vineyard WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has booked a two-week summer getaway for his family on the picturesque Massachusetts island of Martha’s Vineyard. The White House says Obama will head north on Aug. 9 and stay until Aug. 24, when he returns to Washington. It will be the longest summer vacation of his presidency. Obama and his family have sought rest and relaxation on the well-to-do island all but one summer since he became president. The exception was 2012, the year of his re-election campaign. Obama spends most of his time on Martha’s Vineyard playing golf, taking his family to the beach and on bike rides, dining out with friends and treating first lady Michelle Obama to date nights.
and the sale of finished aronia products.” But with the industry is in its infancy, it’s difficult to provide overall yearly production numbers or even a common price per pound. Midwest Aronia Association president Melissa Ehrman Johnson says her group, which has members in 12 states and Ontario, Canada, has farmers fetching anywhere from 50 cents per pound to $7.50 a pound. Johnson and her husband got into business in 2009, planting about 300 bushes on their 10-acre homestead in southwest Iowa farm. The venture has already proved to be profitable, she said, as she’s hoping to move from on-site sales to commercial marketing this year. There is much to be learned, Johnson says, from another industry that has seen enormous success with its own bitter berry: the cranberry industry. “We actually have a gentleman who’s on the Cranberry Association who has worked with us from the early get-go to help us out with ideas along the way, particularly with processing ... and recipe and product development,” she said.
Domes, turrets removed from Mitchell Corn Palace MITCHELL, S.D. (AP) — The iconic domes and turrets have been removed from the Corn Palace in Mitchell as a $7.2 million makeover project gains steam. The skyline above Main Street is now noticeably empty. Project manager Dave Epp says the building “looks pretty naked now.” The Corn Palace upgrade will include new domes and lighting, larger corn murals and a walk-out balcony above the marquee. Changes to the building’s exterior are being done during the $4 million first phase, which got underway last month. The existing City Hall attached to the north side of the Corn Palace will be vacated and renovated to include exhibits and a theater in the second phase. The Corn Palace bills itself as the world’s only palace dedicated to the grain. About 200,000 tourists visit each year.

Whip City shines on diamond By Chris Putz Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Over the last several years, the Whip City has produced championship baseball teams from the high school level on down through the ranks of Babe Ruth and Little League. In 2012, Westfield was represented by a group of 13-year-old ball players in the Babe Ruth World Series in the state of Washington. That same year, the Bombers high school team won the first of two straight Western Massachusetts Division I titles. The Whip City continues to be a hotbed for baseball. The city’s American Legion baseball team, Westfield Post 124, comprised of several players from Westfield, Southwick, St. Mary, and Gateway high schools, finished second in the regular season standings, drawing an early round bye in the postseason. They are now poised to take on their next challenger in the first game of a double elimination tournament Wednesday night at Bullens Field at 7 p.m. Across town, at Paper Mill Field, the Westfield National Little League 11-12-Year-Old All-Stars will open tourney play against Great Barrington. Westfield National made a mad dash to the state sectionals with a furious 11-1 beatdown of Agawam in a mercy-shortened, fourinning District 2 championship Friday night. Westfield pitcher, Ethan Flaherty silenced Agawam’s bats, Ryan Moorhouse clubbed a solo homer, and Walter Figueroa shut the door with a 2-run double to induce the mercy rule. The Nationals relied on sharp baserunning and skillfull small ball play to advance. “Our pitching and defense (has) done it all year,” Westfield National manager Bill Lamirande said. “It’s been phenomenal … (but) it gets harder from here on out.” First pitch for Westfield National-Great Barrington is set for 5:30 p.m. On Thursday, the action shifts to Ralph E. Sanville Memorial Field on Cross Street in Westfield. There, the Westfield American Little League 10-11-Year-Old All-Stars will host the winner of Pittsfield South-Holden in a state sectional tournament opener, beginning at 5:30 p.m.
On Saturday, the Westfield Babe Ruth 15-Year-Old All-Stars will attempt to earn a seat in the state championship with a semifinal victory. The state semifinal game will be played at Logan Field in Worcester at 5 p.m. If the city’s 15-year-old squad manages to win two more games, it will be a clean sweep for Westfield Babe Ruth. The 13and 14-year-old teams have already punched their tickets to the New England Regionals, beginning next week. Westfield will host the 14-year-olds regional tournament. The host team is set to open play at Bullens Field, Friday, July 25 at 7 p.m. The 13-year-olds will travel to Newtown, Conn., for their regional competition. Both tournaments will culminate in the championship July 31 with a World Series berth on the line.

When it comes to 21st century multimedia platforms, “hyper local” is a term you hear a lot. It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newspapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore. But, day in and day out, The Westfield News provides consistant coverage of the stories you need to know about, that are important to your city, town, neighborhood and home.

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Concerned Parents Dear Annie: My wife and I are a little concerned about our 30-year-old daughter, “Amber.” Every day, she spends an hour brushing her teeth and five full minutes washing her hands and then rechecks the same things about five times. Amber says she can’t control it and it’s hard to stop. This has been going on for a little over a year. Is this anything to be concerned about? Is this just the way she is? Any advice would be great. -- Concerned Parents Dear Parents: Repetitive behaviors like this are obsessivecompulsive disorders. They are not uncommon. However, OCD behaviors can become worse over time, and it helps to get treatment as soon as possible. You or Amber can contact the International OCD Foundation (ocfoundation.org) for more information and referrals to therapists who specialize in dealing with this problem. We’ll be thinking of you. Dear Annie: My dear mother-in-law has suffered with dementia for 10 years. This wonderful, loving woman did not receive the care she could have, and as a result, her quality of life is worse than it needed to be. I have some advice for family members when a loved one receives the dreaded diagnosis of dementia or Alzheimer’s: You need to learn about the illness, and you need to make a plan. Pretending the person is not sick doesn’t help. It makes life harder for them. I never realized how powerful a force denial could be until I witnessed my father-in-law’s absolute refusal to change anything about their life. Expecting her to keep cooking, leaving her alone, etc., were truly acts of cruelty. Realize that your loved one is not going to get better. He or she may stay the same for a long time, or may steadily get worse, but they are not going to improve. You need to keep them safe and anticipate that they may do things they have never done before -- like wander, take the wrong medicine or let a stranger into the house. If you live out of town, consider the possibility that those who live near your loved one may know more about the day-to-day situation than you do. When you visit and keep Mom company all day and do fun activities with her, yes, she’s going to seem better, but it doesn’t reflect the reality of her normal day when she’s alone for hours at a time. If the locals say Mom needs more care, they may be right. Get help. Join a support group or contact your council on aging. We hired a wonderful dementia coach who helps families figure out what to do. It is possible for the sick person to enjoy the things that they are able to do if they are given support. Consider that the person’s spouse might not be the best caregiver. Observe what is really happening in the household. You may need to hire helpers. In day care, assisted living or other facilities, there is trained staff, always rested and fresh. Try to avoid isolation, for the sick person as well as the caregiver. Don’t turn down offers of help. I called some of my motherin-law’s friends to ask whether they would come over and learned that they had been turned away by my father-in-law. Someday I hope there is a cure for this horrible illness, but until then we have to do the best we can to manage life for those who are dependent on us. -- The In-Law Dear In-Law: Thank you for taking the time to write and guide others who are in a similar situation. We hope anyone affected by this dreadful disease will contact the Alzheimer’s Association at alz.org. Their website has a wealth of information for dementia and Alzheimer’s. There is also a 24/7 Helpline at 1-800-272-3900. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net.
HINTS FROM HELOISE Peanut Brittle Is Back! Dear Heloise: Can you please reprint your HELOISE PEANUT BRITTLE recipe? I haven’t made it in years, and I cannot find the recipe! -- Ellen S. in Indiana This recipe is so easy and quick, because you make it in the microwave. Gather the following ingredients: 1 cup of granulated sugar 1/2 cup of light corn syrup 1 1/2 cups of raw (skin on) peanuts 1/8 teaspoon of salt 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract 1 teaspoon of butter 1 teaspoon of baking soda Place aluminum foil over a cookie sheet (with sides) and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine sugar, corn syrup, peanuts and salt. Mix together. Place in the microwave (wattages vary, so you may need to adjust the times) and heat on HIGH for 8 minutes, stirring well halfway through cooking. Stir in the vanilla and butter, and microwave another 2 minutes on HIGH. Carefully take the bowl out, because it will be very hot! Add the baking soda and stir until the mixture becomes foamy and light. Be careful not to overstir! Quickly pour the mixture onto the cookie sheet using a metal knife. You may need help with this. Evenly spread the mixture to about 1/4-inch thickness. Let it cool, then break into pieces and store the peanut brittle in an airtight container or a plastic, zip-top bag. -- Heloise
