Allie, Velis set for rematch tonight

By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The second in a series of legislative candidate forums sponsored by The Westfield News Group will be held this evening at 7 p.m. at Westfield Vocational-Technical High School.

Tonight’s forum will be moderated by Westfield News Group President Patrick Berry and will feature the candidates running for the 4th Hampden District seat in the Massachusetts

House of Representatives – the incumbent, Democrat John Velis and his challenger, Republican Dan Allie.

In a rematch of an April 1 special election that saw Velis, a city attorney, defeat Allie, a freshmen at-large city councilor, both candidates will attempt to once again make their cases to voters tonight, less than a week before the November 4 election next week.

Allie and Velis are now vying for a full twoyear term, as the special election was held to

fill the remainder of the term for the seat vacated by now-state Sen. Don Humason, Jr., the longtime Republican state Rep. for the 4th Hampden District who went on to defeat Holyoke City Councilor David Bartley in a special election to fill the 2nd HampdenHampshire District seat in the state Senate vacated by Michael R. Knapik in 2013.

In their attempts to woo voters, Velis and Allie will answer a set list of questions and get an opportunity to lay out their messages.

A recent expansion of regulations now means that permanent dock owners pay a fee for their docks if they are not brought in for the winter.

Previously, the regulation called for a fee for temporary dock owners who did not bring in their docks for the winter.

Grannells said there are legitimate reasons residents can’t remove their docks.

“It’s a problem when you have vertical drop-offs or embankments,” he said.

The town harbormaster, Police Chief David Ricardi, told the board last month that he spent time with members of the

By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – After over a decade as a Commissioner of the Westfield Housing Authority, Jayne Mulligan has been replaced on that board by another city resident, Eileen Murray, at the behest of Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick.

Originally appointed by former Gov. Jane Swift, herself a western Mass.

Republican, Mulligan was part of the WHA’s fivemember governing body for the past 12 years, Jayne according to a letter from Mulligan the state addressed to her late last month.

The WHA is composed of four Mayoral appointees and one chosen by the Governor under state law.

According to the city’s website, the WHA’s mission is to work together to “meet the needs of housing and improvements to the city’s public housing inventory.”

The organization works with the tenants of the city’s 102 public housing units through two active tenant associations and “provides input

Dock violation fees discussed

By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – Town Engineer and Lake Management Committee Chairman Richard Grannells met with the Board of Selectmen this week to talk about the local permitting program (LPP) as it pertains to docks.

Grannells said the Lake Management Committee held several meetings and had discussions with the Department of Environmental Protection on the subject.

“What we’re trying to do is add a provision so people who have a hardship case for docks that can’t be removed can be carried,” Grannells said.

Consumers get small drop in electricity cost

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD –The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued a decision cutting the profit electrical transmission companies can make on their investment to upgrade transmission facilities in the New England region Deregulation of the electrical industry in the 1990s unbundled energy generation, transmission and sale to consumers. Power companies, prior to deregulation often controlled generation, transmission and retail

sale of electrical power to end consumers, a vertical monopoly. The goal of deregulation was to foster greater competition in that industry.

Transmission companies have been investing in new high-tension power facilities, with a rate of return set by the FERC. The transmission owners had been charging a rate of return or interest on their investment, of 11.14 per cent to recoup their investment, but FERC issued a decision lowering that rate of interest to 10.57 percent.

Applicant seeking environmental plan changes

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Conservation Commission last night continued the hearing on a plan to daylight a stream piped through the sixth hole of Shaker Farms Country Club, an issue which has been on the board’s agenda for nearly a year.

Consultant Rob Levesque asked the board to continue the hearing, which has happened routinely since October of 1013, to allow further discussion with city officials and the country club owners on a plan to resolve the issues created by the city’s stormwater drainage system at 866 Shaker Road.

The daylighting project Rob was delayed for months Levesque while it was under review by the Army Corps of Engineers, which has jurisdiction over all waterways and related water control structures in the country.

Shaker Farms Country Club owner, Dan Kotowitz, appearing before the Board of Public Works in October of 2013, said that “a huge amount of runoff” from the stormwater pipe collecting water in the Falley Drive neighborhood is flooding the course near the sixth green.

Kotowitz said at the BPW meeting that the sixth hole, a 565-yard uphill dogleg and the hardest hole on the course, lies at the bottom of the Shaker Heights bluff. Kotowitz said the water “is coming down onto our property” from the bluff and requested the Board of Public Works to take what action the city could take to eliminate that storm-related flooding.

The city had already hired R. Levesque & Associates to design a solution to the problem prior to that meeting. The Conservation Commission opened its hearing at its Oct. 10th session to determine what environmental impact would result from removing the pipe carrying water under the course.

Levesque said that the state Department of Environmental Protection is now involved in the environmental review process.

By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A week ago, two local businesses – Firtion-Adams Funeral Home and United Bank – announced a fundraising challenge to benefit Westfield On Weekends (WOW).

WOW, a local non-profit devoted to promoting the city, is looking to continue the work of the former Westfield Business Improvement District (BID), which provided marketing, maintenance and beautification services to downtown city businesses prior to being dissolved over the summer by a vote of the city council.

That 9-2 vote, which at-large councilor

James Adams, president of Firtion-Adams, called one of the council’s “saddest votes” despite abstaining, was driven by regulations implemented at the state level forcing all residents and businesses residing in BID districts statewide to join the organization and pay retroactive dues.

WOW Treasurer Barbara Trant will be overseeing the donations to WOW and says that the organization will be using the funds to continue with the event programming they have been providing for almost a dozen years.

“WOW has an all volunteer committee, so See WOW, Page 3

The FERC decision requires the transmission owner to reimburse $60 million to New England electrical consumers which translates to about $28 million for Massachusetts electrical customers. Municipally-owned utilities will see a refund of about $4 million.

The Massachusetts Municipal Wholesale Electric Company (MMWEC) and other utilities claimed the 11.14 percent profit margin was too high, given changes in economic conditions and interest rates since See Electricity, Page 8

Boy or girl?

Family with 12 sons awaits baby 13 ROCKFORD, Mich. (AP) — A western Michigan couple with 12 sons is expecting baby No. 13 and they say they’ll be surprised if their all-boy streak is snapped.

The Grand Rapids Press reports (http:// bit.ly/1wLt00x ) that Jay and Kateri Schwandt’s baby is due May 9 and they plan to follow their tradition of not finding out whether it’s a boy or girl in advance. They say they would welcome either into the family.

Kateri Schwandt says: “If we were to have a girl, I think we would go into shock.”

Jay Schwandt said he would love to have a girl, but they’re just “hoping for a healthy baby.”

The family lives in Rockford and their 12th boy, Tucker, was born Aug. 4, 2013.

Their oldest boy is now 22 years old.

O

n Oct. 29, 1964, thieves made off with the Star of India and other gems from the American Museum of Natural History in New York. (The Star and most of the other gems were recovered; three men were convicted of stealing them.)

On this date: In 1618, Sir Walter Raleigh, the English courtier, military adventurer and poet, was executed in London.

In 1787, the opera “Don Giovanni” by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart had its world premiere in Prague.

In 1901, President William McKinley’s assassin, Leon Czolgosz, was electrocuted.

In 1929, Wall Street crashed on “Black Tuesday,” heralding the start of America’s Great Depression.

In 1940, Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson drew the first number — 158 — in America’s first peacetime military draft.

In 1956, during the Suez Canal crisis, Israel invaded Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. “The Huntley-Brinkley Report” premiered as NBC’s nightly television newscast.

In 1966, the National Organization for Women was formally organized during a conference in Washington, D.C. In 1979, on the 50th anniversary of the great stock market crash, anti-nuclear protesters tried but failed to shut down the New York Stock Exchange.

In 1987, following the confirmation defeat of Robert H. Bork to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, President

Ronald Reagan announced his choice of Douglas H. Ginsburg, a nomination that fell apart over revelations of Ginsburg’s previous marijuana use. Jazz great Woody Herman died in Los Angeles at age 74.

In 1994, Francisco Martin Duran fired more than two dozen shots from a semiautomatic rifle at the White House. (Duran was later convicted of trying to assassinate President Bill Clinton and was sentenced to 40 years in prison.)

In 1998, Sen. John Glenn, at age 77, roared back into space aboard the shuttle Discovery, retracing the trail he’d blazed for America’s astronauts 36 years earlier.

In 2012, Superstorm Sandy came ashore in New Jersey and slowly marched inland, devastating coastal communities and causing widespread power outages; the storm and its aftermath are blamed for at least 182 deaths in the U.S.

Ten years ago:

Four days before Election Day in the U.S., Osama bin Laden, in a videotaped statement, directly admitted for the first time that he’d ordered the September 11 attacks and told Americans “the best way to avoid another Manhattan” was to stop threatening Muslims’ security. A seriously ill Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat was flown from the West Bank to Paris for medical treatment (he died less than two weeks later). European Union leaders signed the EU’s first constitution.

Comedian Vaughn Meader, who’d gained fame doing satirical impressions of President John F. Kennedy, died in Auburn, Maine, at age 68.

Five years ago:

President Barack Obama paid a post-midnight visit to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware to honor the return of 18 soldiers killed in Afghanistan. A Coast Guard

C-130 plane and a Marine Cobra helicopter collided off the Southern California coast, killing seven Coast Guard members and two Marines. Deposed President Manuel Zelaya and his opponents agreed to a U.S.brokered deal to end the power crisis that had paralyzed Honduras following a coup.

One year ago:

Medicare chief Marilyn Tavenner, whose agency oversaw the “Obamacare” enrollment website, apologized to Congress for the severe technical problems that marred the online rollout of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul. The U.N. confirmed an outbreak of polio in Syria for the first time in over a decade, warning the disease threatened to spread among an estimated half a million children who had never been immunized because of the civil war.

WOW the BID was a help to us.

They were kind of our boots on the ground to help us promote events,” said Trant.

“There has always been oversight for all of the money that we handle every year, for all of the sponsorships we receive for the programming,” she said, adding that the money raised will be watched over and spent ‘rather frugally.’

The WOW board is currently composed of 9 members in addition to Trant – President Bob Plasse, Secretary Tanya Vancini, business owners Prob Rashamwala, Stacie Phetteplace, Lisa OleksakSullivan, Cindy Gaylord, and Jerry Tomasco, Lisa McMahon of the Westfield State Foundation and Dianna McClean, Westfield’s Community Development Block Grant coordinator.

In addition, the organization has about 50 volunteers who help with events.

Trant added that WOW will be retaining the services of the BID’s “Clean Team”, a group that maintained and cleaned the streets of the city’s BID district, but will be given a new name.

“We’ll have to give them a new name because they won’t be cleaning, but we do hire them to help us do events in the downtown,” she said. “We can’t put on a MusicFest concert without paying for police, paying for advertising, the performers and sound.

“There’s a lot of cost that goes into to putting on any event and those are what will be covered (with donations),” Trant said. “We’re looking into perhaps using it for us to maybe hire someone who would do event-by-event coordination, but it wouldn’t be an executive salary. It wouldn’t be a day-to-day person.”

“We have to pay for insur-

Continued from Page 1 ance for our events. There’s a lot of things people don’t realize – when you put on an event, what that entails,” she said. “Sound is a cost when you have a concert, advertising is a cost. We have a website designer.”

Trant hopes that these donations will help WOW get to the “next level” in doing more for the community than they have been doing and to inspire people to become more involved with the city’s downtown.

Since Firtion-Adams Adams and United Banks donated $11,500 to the fundraising effort last week, Trant said that there have been a few donations that have come in but there hasn’t been a huge spike.

“We’re generating a mailing to let people know that this challenge exists. It should go out early next week,” she said, adding that if the challenge reaches it’s goal of $20,000, it would cover less than 50 percent of the organization’s budget for the year.

WOW President Bob Plasse said until the organization’s board needs to meet to determine spending priorities.

“We will to continue produce a calender of great community events, which was our purpose and written into our memorandum of understanding with the BID,” he said.

“BID’s relationship with us was around marketing and day-to-day activities which we might have had to put off because we were volunteers.”

“Oftentimes, they might have gone to a city meeting when we couldn’t have,” Plasse said. “When folks think of the BID, they think of cleaning and beautification, but I think we have to meet with the city in terms of what we do with that.”

Plasse said that he didn’t think that WOW could continue all of the operations of

the BID. “I don’t think we’re capable – we’re an all volunteer organization at the moment,” he said. “To get it to the next step, whatever we raise with this challenge will help us continue what we’ve been doing for 11 years.”

Of the businesses who refused to join the BID and whose refusal effectively set the organization’s demise into motion, Plasse hopes that these city businesses will now donate to this challenge to help support programming and services in the community.

“I would hope that folks who may not have agreed with the procedures of the BID will say ‘hey, it’s time for us to help our town,’” he said. “We raised $40,000 each year for the last couple of years in order to give people the community life they wish.

These events don’t happen without the financial support of our community.”

“We need families and children to come out and support our events, from Dickens Days to our concerts on the green or the Universe According to Josh Simpson,” Plasse said. “In order to establish (Westfield) as a destination, we have to become a destination for our community folks, as well. We want folks to really begin to own Westfield, spirit-wise and in attendance.”

COMMENT Millennial poll: Throw the bums out

I had the opportunity to speak with a Westfield lumber yard owner and asked him if he won the bid to provide the supplies to construct the new gazebo on the green. You know what he said? There was no bid and the supplies are being bought from an out of town business. How is this possible? Wasn’t the mayor’s point in building this to use local workers (the voke kids) and local suppliers? How is it this long standing local lumber provider wasn’t even approached to bid on the supplies? The following response is from the City Purchaser’s office: Because of the nature of this project the City Purchasing Department and the Engineering office have deferred to the Vocational School Construction Shop as to who they wanted to use for the materials for the Pavilion Project. My office has guided the shop through the procurement process and has encouraged the use of local when appropriate. I would like to point out that the Office did a bid for the structural steel that was open to anyone to bid, the City only received one bid and that contract was awarded to Lucia Lumber. The bid that was done was bid #2447 available for bid on March 12th and closed on March 31st.

We only had two companies request packages. Lucia was the only company that submitted the bid, that bid was worth $60,000. Again this was open to anyone to bid and was advertised in the Republican, in the Purchasing Department and on our website, as is required. In addition the Pavilion Project has issued orders to two other local vendors, Western Mass Truss (from Westfield) and a manufacturer of the PVC materials (Kleer Lumber), and a bid for the doors and windows is coming out on Wednesday October 29th and Hampton Door is one of the vendors we expect to bid. Our office and the vocational school have worked to include many local vendors in this project.

Thank you for your time. I encourage anyone to speak to Mr. Falcetti, he has work tirelessly to get this project up and running.

By Jonathan Topaz Politico.com Millennials are fed up with both parties in Washington, a new poll says.

According to a Harvard University Institute of Politics poll of 18-29 year-olds, 56 percent of the so-called millennials say President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats and Republicans are all responsible for the dysfunction in Washington. And 53 percent of millennials say they would recall and replace all 535 members of Congress today.

Millennials disapprove of both parties in Congress by at least 60 percent. Thirty-five percent of respondents approve of congressional Democrats, compared with 60 percent who disapprove; 23 percent approve of congressional Republicans, with 72 percent disapproving.

The wide-ranging survey of more than 2,000 respondents documents that U.S. adults under 30 are largely politically estranged and find themselves beholden to neither party. Fortytwo percent say they consider themselves to be independent voters, compared with 33 percent who call themselves Democrats and 22 percent who say Republicans.

Sixty percent of millennials report that they don’t follow national politics closely, and 80 percent say they do not consider themselves to be politically engaged or active, while just 18 percent describe themselves as either politically engaged or

active.

Millennials, widely viewed as more liberal than the rest of the country, would prefer a Democratic Congress, with 50 percent saying they would want a Congress controlled by Democrats following the midterm elections and 43 percent saying they prefer a Republican-controlled legislature. But young adults, fed up with both parties, appear to be largely up for grabs on major issue areas.

“Millennials could be a critical swing vote,” IOP Director Maggie Williams said in a statement accompanying the results.

“Candidates for office: Ignore millennial voters at your peril.”

Millennials give a slight edge to Democrats over Republicans on which party they trust to handle several issue areas, including the economy, foreign policy, immigration policy and health care. At least 39 percent of young adults, though — a plurality in all four areas — say they are not sure which party they trust to handle those issues.

President Barack Obama also remains underwater among millennials, with 43 percent approving of his job performance and 53 percent disapproving. Fifty-seven percent of adults under 30 disapprove of the Affordable Care Act, his signature health care law.

The survey was conducted September 26-October 9 with 2,029 18-29 year-olds in English and Spanish. The margin for error is plus-or-minus 2.6 points.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR An Open letter to the people of Westfield The race for State Representative should be about who has the right priorities and commitment to work for Westfield.

Here are some of mine.

I am a family man, concerned taxpayer and homeowner, who pays property taxes; like the rest of you. I have owned and managed small businesses, serve on City Council, and served overseas for 3 years in the U.S. Army.

I have been a community volunteer for 45 years and received the Edmond P. Garvey award for Outstanding Community Service from Springfield Technical Community College. I was an assistant scoutmaster in Boy Scouts, helped coach Little League and worked with hundreds of inner city kids in Holyoke, Chicopee and Springfield. I worked with neighbors and legislators to renovate 2 parks, the playground at Morgan School in Holyoke, and pave 2 roads in Westfield. Most of my life, I have chosen to help others privately, even when taking a leadership role. It is not about me, it is about helping and lifting up others, including defending those who cannot defend themselves.

Over the past year, our state government wasted over $1 billion of our tax dollars. Instead of reforming their wasteful spending habits, Beacon Hill raised our taxes, cut services and increased fees.

Massachusetts does not have a revenue problem; we have a spending and priority problem.

I am the only candidate for State Representative has the experience and the determination to fight for reforms and oppose tax increases, because I have been doing it for 25 years, beginning with Steve Pierce’s run for governor in 1989. I was part of the group that helped Steve win Holyoke when he ran for congress, which shows what people can do when they believe in something, and have mind to work together for a good cause.

I put three questions on the ballot to bring attention to important issues. The two local questions will follow the four statewide questions. They are: • Restore Local Aid to FY 2007 levels Cities are supposed to receive 100% of the revenue from the Lottery for education and help lower our property taxes. The state has taken 700 million dollars out of the Lottery, with Westfield losing about a million dollars a year, over the last five years. Including last year when the state had a 900 million dollar surplus. Westfield is taxing people out of their homes trying to make this money up, and there is no justification for the state to take our money.

• Increase funding to cities for road maintenance The budget in Westfield to fix 200 miles of roads is 1.3 million dollars. This will fix two miles of roads. At that rate it would take about 200 years. The state just passed a 12.5 BILLION DOLLAR transportation bond bill, but the governor only allocated 200 million dollars for road maintenance, for the entire state. This is a drop in the bucket. The gas tax was raised, but Massachusetts has one of the highest rates of transferring funds from the gas tax to the MBTA. Obviously, the priority is not fixing our roads, which brings me to the third question.

• VOTE YES TO REPEAL AUTOMATIC GAS TAXES (Question 1 on Statewide ballot) I was part of the first all-volunteer group to successfully put a question on the statewide ballot since 1991. We collected 146,000 signatures and when we started almost nobody knew the state had passed the law. Had we not put Question 1 on the ballot, that taxing mechanism would have hung around for years and probably wound up on other products before people started asking, “Hey, when did our taxes start going up based on the Consumer Price Index, rather than then our legislators voting to raise taxes?” The answer would have been, the summer of 2013, but no one would have remembered.

TanktheGasTax.org gave me their first “Hero Award” for personally collecting 1,100 signatures, and endorsed me for state representative. My opponent in this election claims he is “leading the charge to repeal gas tax hikes,” but he has failed to sign the petition twice, this year or last year, and never collected a single signature, or put up a sign.

Having run and managed a business, I understand how to balance a budget and meet a payroll. I have the financial experience to implement reforms that will save us money. Moreover, I will work to grow local jobs. I have a plan that will give the small business community, which generates 3 out of every 4 new jobs, the certainty they need to start creating jobs once again.

I am the only candidate who has signed the No New Taxes pledge to the people of Westfield. I am the only candidate to sign the petition to repeal the gasoline tax being linked to inflation. I am the only candidate who has spoken out against the motor vehicle registry fees being increased 20 percent to bailout the MBTA. My experience and determination to fight for these priorities, have won me the endorsement of every pro-jobs group and protaxpayer organization in the state. I have been endorsed by New Jobs for Massachusetts, the National Federation of Independent Business, Mass Fiscal Alliance and Citizens for Limited Taxation, and GOAL. I am the candidate who can help grow jobs, hold the line on wasteful state spending and lower our tax burden.

I have promised to give up my private sector position, in a business I helped build to work full time for the people of Westfield and will remain on the city council for the next year to continue to fight to hold the line on property taxes.

I will hold regular district office hours, maintain a website and send out newsletters.

I am working my heart out, trying to inform and involve the people of Westfield on important issues that affect their daily lives and budgets. I distributed thousands of flyers when I was not allowed to submit articles, press releases, columns or letters to the editor as a result of simply being a candidate.

I would humbly ask for your consideration and vote to be your representative on Tuesday, November 4th.

Thank you.

Dan Allie City Councilor and candidate for state representative

Last week, Massachusetts lost three residents to fire. Two young boys aged 4 and 9 years died in a fatal blaze in a six bedroom multi-family home in Lawrence after becoming trapped in their third floor bedroom. Neighbors and family members were unable to reach them and the fire spread too quickly for firefighters to save them. A 58 year old woman, who was found in a wheelchair, also died as a result of a fire in her Springfield home. Their deaths bring the state fire death toll for 2014 up to 49, the highest it has been since 2011.

Often times it is the young and the disabled that are overcome by fire conditions. Smoke alarms are an effective tool to warn residents of a fire yet the only thing that would have given those boys the time they needed to escape or first responders the time they needed to arrive is a fire sprinkler system.

Unfortunately, there are those that would have the protection of a fire sprinkler system in multi-family homes much like the one in Lawrence removed from the fire code for new construction. What was their reasoning? That, while fire sprinklers no doubt would save lives, there just are not enough fire deaths in Massachusetts to justify the cost. The question I pose to the Board of Building Regulations and Standards who are currently calculating the value of human life is: how many lives need to be lost to justify fire sprinklers in multi-family homes?

I send my condolences to the families of the victims and for those families who have experienced the true cost of fire in Massachusetts.

Sincerely, John Grant, President Fire Chiefs Association of Massachusetts and Chief of Milton Fire Department Milton, Mass.

Right keys, wrong car

Westfield Senior Center

Bird’s eye view

By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A couple found by police attempting to enter a locked BMW sedan on Arnold Street early Saturday morning insisted they were doing nothing wrong and merely trying to get into their car with a key which inexplicably wasn’t working.

Officers Megan Bartlett, Francis Gaulin and their supervisor. Sgt. Jeffrey Baillargeon, responded to a 2:09 a.m. complaint Saturday after an Arnold Street resident reported that two persons were banging on the windows of his car trying to gain entry.

Bartlett reports that when police arrived on Arnold Street they found a Southwick Road man and a West Springfield woman trying to get into the car. Bartlett reports that the couple said that they were locked out of their car and the keys were not working.

When officers informed them that the car in question belonged to neither of them they insisted that it did and the man produced a key for a BMW. After a check with the Registry of Motor Vehicles revealed that there was, in fact, a similar BMW sedan registered to the man the couple acknowledged that they were highly inebriated and said that they had mistaken the parked car for the man’s BMW. The vehicle’s owner examined his car and did not report any damage.

The man’s mother came to Arnold Street and took custody of the intoxicated couple.

No charges were filed.

Gateway Superintendent’s Corner

Do Re Me Singers perform Recently the Russell COA were treated to a lively concert by the Do Re Me Singers of the Westfield COA. Toes were tapping and singing along was encouraged. A whistling solo was beautiful. Old tunes, show tunes, blues and jazz were all included in the musical tour around the Untied States. (Photo submitted)

Gateway students mobilize to support democracy HUNTINGTON — Hong Kong. A city of more than seven million people, it’s a global financial center known for its film industry and manufacturing sector. And more recently, known for the protests that have brought tens of thousands to its streets, all demonstrating for free and fair democratic elections.

Recently, students at Gateway Regional High School put together a campaign to raise awareness of the events in Hong Kong and to show support for the pro-democracy protesters half a world away.

Senior Cory Bisbee had followed the protests closely and decided to start organizing a group of fellow classmates to address them after police shockingly used tear gas and pepper spray on the protesters.

“My first thought on the protests was, ‘It’s amazing the way that youth, from high schoolers to college students, are getting involved in Hong Kong, where the protests are largely student run,” Bisbee said. “Naturally, my second was, ‘How can I help?’”

After some individual planning and brainstorming, Bisbee consulted with fellow senior Casey Pease and with juniors Davis Britland and Jenna Margarites.

Bisbee recalled that people initially did not have a deep understanding of the protests, but said that all were immensely enthusiastic about showing solidarity with the protesters and maybe reproducing some of their energy in students at Gateway, “When Cory told me about his idea I thought, ‘Wow, this is really cool!’ and immediately jumped in on the project. Once I really started to understand what the students in Hong Kong were doing, I wanted to help show support in any way possible,” said Pease.

Bisbee arranged to meet with the others in the school library during lunch the next school day. He brought a pack of sticky notes and invited students to help make a wall of messages of support. With approval from the high school principal, the students decided on a goal of covering the front entrance of the school building with the notes.

Bisbee noted that the group was able to mobilize quickly because they were all class officers and members of the Model United Nations club.

Dr. David Hopson I was recently reminded of our success at Gateway when asked to complete a college recommendation for one of our seniors. As I reviewed this student’s recent history, academic performance, and plans for college, I was reminded of just how successful our graduates have been at getting into trade schools, 2-year colleges, and 4-year colleges and universities. Anyone who reviews the list of schools that our graduates get accepted to, attend, and graduate from would have to admit that we do very well for such a small public school.

This is only part of the story. The rest of the story is what our graduates do and the success they enjoy in the military, in post-graduate education, and in the day-to-day lives they live. I’m reminded of these successes whenever I get the chance to talk to our graduates or their parents, see our graduates operating local businesses, filling elected or appointed positions in govern-

ment, or reading about them and their successes throughout the world. From graduates who are parents and working diligently to raise their children in an ever more complex world, to graduates serving our country in multiple roles, to graduates in the workforce, to recent graduates attending college, and to slightly older graduates earning their Masters or Doctoral degrees, our students all have the common thread of success running through their lives.

Such impact on the world is, never was, and most likely never will be, measured by any standardized test. The successes of our students cannot, and should not, be simply measured by student grades, participation in activities, the families they come from, or their religion, national origin, sex or any other of the simple checkboxes that the world uses to categorize people.

Rather, they are measured by the daily impact each has on others, the way they use all of their skills, abilities, and knowledge to live each day, face each challenge, and succeed because they persevere despite any obstacles they encounter. Seeing our students learn to grow into confident and capable adults is hard to measure but is perhaps the most important thing we can strive for as a school— and one which keeps many people trying their best as educators every day.

The entrance to Gateway Regional High School features student words of support for Hong Kong protesters. (Photo submitted) Two days later, the group had a table set up in the cafeteria and invited other students to write messages. Staff also contributed their thoughts and support and the front doors began filling up with words of encouragement.

The protesters in Hong Kong want the right to choose the leader of their city. Before the former British colony was returned to China in 1997, the UK and China signed a joint agreement saying that Hong Kong would have a “high degree of autonomy” within China, along with a right to the democratic election of its own leader.

“Hong Kong’s autonomy and freedoms have been persistently eroded by China and it has yet to have democratic elections,” said Bisbee. “In late August, the Chinese government announced that they would be implementing universal suffrage for the city.

Everyone would get to vote for the city’s leader, known as the Chief Executive, but China would essentially be able to dictate who the candidates were, screening out any that it felt weren’t supportive enough of the Communist Party. This set off the student strikes and protests that have become known as the Umbrella Movement.”

“As students, we believe that we have a responsibility to safeguard democracy and human rights. We are always trying to better the world that will be ours one day. The future belongs to students; the future belongs to us.”

Volunteer information online Huntington – The Gateway Regional School District welcomes the many contributions made by our volunteers, and invites parents and community members to consider donating their time to support student achievement.

A new volunteer webpage may be found under the “Parents and Students” drop-down menu on the Gateway website (www.grsd. org). This webpage describes many of the volunteer needs Gateway has, including staffing elementary libraries, serving on PTOs and school councils, joining booster clubs for athletics and music, serving on special committees, and assisting with the Gateway Education Foundation. Contact information is included on the website for people wishing to donate

Each day, I am reminded of how many things the district does—due to a host of factors including laws and regulations—that have little to do with directly educating students. These include dealing with unfunded mandates, meeting regulations enacted to deal with issues that our small district has never had, adapting to changes in funding, dealing with security issues, facilities use, standardized testing and a whole host of other issues that are certainly important but aren’t necessarily seen or felt in the classroom. They all require time, resources, and expertise that some people believe are not needed to operate a district or are too far removed from the classroom to be essential, yet without which we couldn’t support the education of children.

I sometimes wonder if the abundance of these nonteaching items is why we burn out educators at such a rapid rate, as so many idealistic young people start off as teachers but leave within the first 3 to 5 years. Are these ‘requirements’ for public education the result of the so called “one percent” thinking they know more than most educators about education and lavishly spending money to impose their thoughts and beliefs on everyone else?

Thankfully, for many educators, there are still those moments when one recognizes that the quest to educate our children is vital and our students demonstrate just why we chose this field in the first place. The further away from the classroom one gets, the less frequently you get to experience these moments and the less you deal with students minute-by-minute throughout the day: perhaps why the smart teachers remain as teachers rather than becoming administrators.

time and resources to a specific group.

In addition, volunteers are frequently needed to chaperone field trips.

All volunteers are asked to review Gateway’s “Volunteer Handbook”, which may be downloaded from the webpage. Volunteers whose assignment involves working directly with students (chaperones, tutors, etc.) are asked to sign the Volunteer Agreement and return it to their building principal. Volunteers working with students will be required to undergo a criminal records background check (CORI) every three years.

The district thanks its many volunteers for their substantial contributions to the success of our students!

Hyper • Local

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 newpapers 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.

Sentencing delay sought in probation hiring case BOSTON (AP) — Lawyers for convicted former state probation chief John O’Brien and two deputies indicated yesterday in a motion seeking a 30-day delay in sentencing that state judges and other officials have expressed interest in offering comments in support of the defendants.

O’Brien, William Burke and Elizabeth Tavares were convicted by a federal jury in July on charges stemming from what prosecutors said was a scheme to rig the department’s hiring process to favor applicants sponsored by powerful state lawmakers.

In a court filing yesterday, defense attorneys asked U.S. District Court Judge William Young to move the Nov. 12 sentencing date to Dec. 10, saying they needed more time to prepare.

“The defendants have many people who have come forward and expressed an interest in speaking to (defense attorneys) regarding the defendants’ work history, personal characteristics, and other mitigating factors that bear on what constitutes an appropriate sentence,” the lawyers wrote in their motion.

The individuals included state court

judges, sheriffs, lawyers and others with “relevant information,” the motion said.

The defense also noted that a hearing on a motion asking Young to throw out the verdicts or order a new trial that originally had been scheduled for last week was postponed until Nov. 6, placing it less than a week before the current sentencing date.

Federal prosecutors have not proposed specific sentences for O’Brien, Burke and Tavares, but argued in a brief filed earlier this month that as public officials they deserved enhanced punishment for abusing their positions of trust.

Changes

Continued from Page 1 Levesque said he and his staff “met with city officials and the Shaker Farms owners” and presented “option that are less impactful to wetlands” because of the DEP’s ruling that daylighting the piped stormwater would have to be protected y federal and state laws and regulations.

“Because of the DEP’s ruling they would not be able to maintain the fairway,” Levesque said. “It’s going on at golf courses all over western Massachusetts.

“The DEP sees it as becoming a bordering wetland and they would not be allowed to maintain or mow the fairway,” Levesque said.

Levesque said he plans to walk the site with city officials and the country club owners to determine what other action is an option to daylighting the stormwater drainage system.

The commission voted to continue the hearing to its Nov. 25 session to allow time for alternative solutions to be identified and a plan developed.

“To the best of my knowledge we don’t have anything to require that a fee must be collected,” he said, “so that is probably why you see people not paying it is my guess.”

Ricardi said he could not find any language in the regulations regarding fee enforcement.

Grannells agreed.

“There is no specific enforcement in the LPP,” he said.

The committee agreed to a fee of $50 per day for a violation of the LPP. He also stated that when a resident applies for a dock permit the first time, a free dock sticker is given but a fee must be paid in subsequent years.

By Chris Putz Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Westfield Vocational-Technical High School boys’ soccer team has risen from the ashes under the direction of head coach Kyle Dulude over the course of the last few years.

Now, they are on fire.

Westfield Voc-Tech completed its first undefeated regular season in school history with a 6-0 shutout of Pathfinder Tuesday at Jachym Field. The Tigers, already league champs, and the defending 2013 small state vocational schools champion, secured a 16-0-1 record.

Nine seniors celebrated “senior day,” including Laxmi Basnet, Mike Brut, Tristan Callagan, Vitally Covileac, Vlad Lisyanyy, Alex Makarchuk, Peter Melnik, Dmitriy Stepanchuk, and Dan Zarichnyy.

Voc-Tech coach Kyle Dulude asked the Westfield News to withhold the game-scorers in Tuesday’s contest to truly acknowledge the team effort put forth, not only in the regular season, but since summer’s final days. Although the request is an unusual one, there typically is not a season as special as this.

“I feel totally lucky to have a group of kids so invested,” coach Dulude said.

“The success really comes down … kids who loved to play soccer.”

“This season’s success definitely

resulted from hard work and commitment by players this year and by players who have been committed to the program for the past four years. The program is currently strong because we have so many student athletes who just love to play soccer, and they have an extreme passion for it and come ready to play every single day no matter whether it is a practice or a game.”

Dulude said that many of the seniors – some of whom have never played soccer prior to their high school experience – have been pushed by others, such as juniors Dominic Rosario and Tyler Hall, who developed an even better understanding of the sport through travel league play.

“This was our best season,” coach Dulude said, “but I don’t think of it as being over.”

Voc-Tech will begin the state small vocational schools’ tournament later this week, and the Western Massachusetts postseason soon thereafter. The top-seeded Tigers face off against No. 4 Smith Voke Thursday at Bullens Field at 4 p.m. The winner will advance to play either No. 2 McCann Tech or No. 3 Blue Hills in Friday’s title game.

The WMass tourney field will be announced Friday afternoon.

“Realistically, everyone is 0-0 now,” Dulude said. “Anything can happen.”

St. Mary 4, Ware 0 Zac Girard and Nick Garde tallied two goals apiece to lead St. Mary in its final regular season game. Alex Parentella had two assists for the Saints, and Garde had one.

St. Mary keeper Colin Blake (1 saves) earned a shutout.

“It was a solid win as we get ready to get into the tournament,” Saints’ coach Andrew Martin said. “We’re going in with a little momentum having won the last couple of games.” — Chris Putz

Minnesota Wild rally for 4-3 win at Boston BEAT ‘THE PUTZ’ BEAT

BOSTON (AP) — It was a difficult but rewarding split for the Minnesota Wild.

The Wild rallied with three goals in the third period and beat the Boston Bruins 4-3 on Tuesday night, easing the pain from the night before when Minnesota was at the opposite end of a surprising comeback.

“The way it all worked out, we’re really not too disappointed. We learned a couple lessons on the trip,” Wild coach Mike Yeo said.

Lesson No. 1 came Monday night in New York, when the Rangers scored five in the third period of a 5-4 win over the Wild. Having led that game 3-0 after two periods, a 3-1 deficit against the Bruins entering the third on Tuesday didn’t seem so big.

Zach Parise and Justin Fontaine scored 2:13 apart for Minnesota early in the third to tie it, then Marco Scandella scored the go-ahead goal with 5:53 remaining as the Wild salvaged a split in their first back-to-back games this season.

“It happened to us in New York and we knew that we had a good game. We wanted to keep going and keep pushing and that’s what we did in the third,” Scandella said. “I felt like we had a lot of momentum and it was just bound to happen.”

Parise said Yeo made some tactical adjustments in the sec-

“That’s the way it goes. You get one and all of the sudden you get a little momentum and you start to feel good about it,” Parise said. “The best thing is N that F L the C Hway A L Lwe E Nwere G E playing paid off.”

Annie’s Mailbox

By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

Still Related in the East Dear Annie: My husband, an only child, never had a great relationship with his father, “Clyde.” My mother-in-law died six years ago, and my husband passed away three years later.

While things are improving for my daughter and me, we are both having a hard time dealing with Clyde, who is in his late 60s.

The day my husband died, Clyde said, “I’m still not over my wife, and now this. I can’t even think about him right now.” A few weeks after the funeral, I called Clyde, and during our conversation he told me, “I’m not going to worry about you.

You’ll be married within the year.” Again, I let it slide. That spring, I invited him to a family cookout. When we were alone, he said, “You don’t know what grief is. You have no idea what it’s like to lose someone you love.” Annie, I almost got sick. I told him he was lucky to have 30 years with his spouse, because I didn’t even have seven.

After that, I limited my time with Clyde. We only see him on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Last Christmas, he came for two family meals. At both occasions, he was rude, obnoxious and spoke down to me in front of everyone. I was in awe at the amount of cursing and his nasty tone of voice. My sister didn’t wait a beat before jumping in and putting him in his place. He gave my college-age daughter $20 as a gift. She was gracious and thanked him, whereupon he turned to me and said, “How do you know she won’t use it for something illegal?”

Annie, the holidays are fast approaching, and after last year, I just can’t take it anymore. The problem is, Clyde has no one (he hasn’t spoken to his sister in 30 years). Is it OK not to invite him? And if so, do I need to tell him he’s not invited? -- Still Related in the East Dear East: Clyde sounds like a cranky, belligerent pain in the butt. It would be a kindness to include him, but only if you can ignore his comments completely. The only way he knows how to communicate is to push everyone’s buttons. Do not respond. However, if that is more “charity” than you can handle, you do not need to invite him. Nor do you need to notify him in advance, unless you want to call to say you will include him only if he makes a sincere effort to be polite.

Dear Annie: I think you missed an opportunity to lambaste “Frustrated Husband,” who complained that his wife is a lousy housekeeper. He says she still works, and he is retired.

I’m retired, and my wife still works. I feel it is my job to keep the house clean. What is this guy doing? Since he’s retired, why isn’t he helping out while his poor wife is still at the office? My wife and I are a team, and I would never even think that she should be doing house chores when she gets home. -- B. Dear B.: You sound like a peach. But why do you assume “Frustrated” isn’t doing any household chores? He said he throws out stuff when his wife is at work, and she doesn’t notice or mind, and beyond that, we really don’t know. But we agree that if he isn’t doing any housework and expects his wife to handle it after a full day at her job, it is exceedingly unfair.

Dear Annie: “Ready To Empty Nest” said her daughter has a college degree, doesn’t pay rent and won’t clean up after herself.

We had a revolving door at our house with kids moving in and out. I told them they had to pay me what they’d pay for rent when they moved out. I saved the money for their emergency fund and then gave it back. They learned to make monthly payments and then had savings when they finally left.

HINTS FROM HELOISE ‘Watts’ the Number?

Dear Heloise: In a column, a woman stated that her MICROWAVE WATTAGE did not match many of the wattages on prepackaged items.

There are microwave conversion charts available on the Internet. I have an older oven, so I looked up the wattage on it and downloaded the page that shows the difference in time from the more modern wattage used by many of the prepackaged foods. It is very helpful. -- J.E., via email Yes, there are many folks who still have older microwaves.

However, not everyone has easy access to a computer. If that’s the case, you can always microwave food a few seconds or minutes (depending on the instruction) at a time. Check to see when the food is cooked or heated. -- Heloise P.S.: Call the free phone number on the package to be sure about the heating time.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Oct. 29, 2014: This year many opportunities will present themselves. You are goal-oriented, and you understand how to succeed.

Sometimes, you are so into the future that you have difficulty being present in the here and now. If you are single, you might have a lot of daydreams about potential suitors and about where you are heading. You will know when you meet the right person. If you are attached, please recognize that your significant other could be adjusting slowly to the new you. Indulge this person, and give him or her some time. CAPRICORN has a tendency to test your endurance.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH What starts out as a shakeup might not end as one. Do not get upset; instead, follow your instincts. There are some key facts that could be misrepresented. Tap into your logic, and you will discover what is missing. Tonight: Bounce some ideas off a dear friend.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Though you have the strength to proceed how you want, you would be well-advised to hold off right now.

Unexpected elements seem to be at work, and you might have a stunning revelation as a result. This awareness could color many decisions. Tonight: Be naughty and nice.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH A partner might insist on controlling a situation. An element of confusion and misinterpretation of messages will distinguish today from other days. Be open when someone is trying to distance him- or herself. Try to root out the problem quickly. Tonight: Opt to be a duo.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Resist getting sucked into a control game, as you are likely to lose.

Change your style, but know that it could come as a shock to some people.

Don’t assume that you have the whole story. You tend to take matters to heart, and sometimes you can’t see the other side. Tonight: At home.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Your focus allows you to be efficient, but it could cut out some enjoyment of the process. Nevertheless, you might want to clear out as much as possible, as you’ll have other plans in mind. Do not minimize your priorities.

Tonight: Stay anchored.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Allow your ingenuity to take the lead, especially in the face of a partner’s lack of follow-through.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You will need to focus on a personal matter. You could see a situation differently from how many of your friends see it. Your ability to soothe hurt feelings might be more important than you realize. Do some price-checking before making a purchase. Tonight: Get down to basics.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Be direct in how you handle a relative or neighbor. You can be optimistic and positive while also establishing boundaries. In general, you’ll make quite an impression today. Someone you respect lets you know how much he or she appreciates your efforts. Tonight: Out the door.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You might want to deal with someone differently, especially if you are financially involved with this person. You might not like how you relate to each other right now. Aim for much more of what you desire with the help of someone who is similar to you. Tonight: Say “yes.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH You seem to be changing a lot. For some of you, it might be an internal transformation; for others, it might be a change in your social circle.

Listen to a chatty relative or friend who typically offers important nuggets of information. Tonight: As you like it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You might want to take some time off from the many responsibilities in your life, or perhaps just a break from your normal routine -- even if it is just for a day. Don’t be surprised if you notice a change in your perspective.

Tonight: Do something just for you.

Aube a winner; Pats-Broncos ahead

By Chris Putz Staff Writer We have finally hit the halfway mark on the 2014 NFL regular season. Tom Brady and Peyton Manning have been on a collision course ever since last season’s AFC Championship game.

Finally, on Sunday, fans will get a chance to watch what should be a thing of beauty in the rematch.

Our Sunday night tiebreaker is the Baltimore Ravens at the Pittsburgh Steelers, a bruising AFC North showdown.

As far as last Sunday’s records are concerned, I finished with an OK mark of 9-4.

Joseph Aube, of Westfield outdueled Cindy Sklarski, winning the tiebreaker with 68 points.

Both individuals finished 12-1.

Three entrants managed to go 11-2, and 13 participants went 10-3. Everyone who had a record of 10-3 or better this past week will be eligible for the grand prize drawing.

THE WESTFIELD NEWS

Broncos are unanimous No. 1

By SIMMI BUTTAR AP Sports Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Going into Sunday’s highly anticipated matchup against the New England Patriots, Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos are the unanimous choice as the NFL’s top team.

Denver received all 12 first-place votes Tuesday for the AP Pro32 power rankings, which are decided by a media panel that regularly covers the league.

The Broncos are 6-1 and coming off a 35-21 win over the San Diego Chargers on Thursday.

“The most complete team in the game right now,” Newsday’s Bob Glauber said.

“Everything’s working on Peyton’s offense, but now the Broncos have the defense to match. Barring a string of key injuries, looks

like another run to the Super Bowl.”

Tom Brady threw five touchdown passes and the Patriots (6-2) overwhelmed the Chicago Bears 51-23 on Sunday, helping New England move from No. 8 to No. 3 in the poll.

“The Patriots have won four in a row to seize control of the AFC East,” Rick Gosselin of The Dallas Morning News said.

Sunday’s game will be the 16th time that Manning and Brady will play against each other.

“Peyton Manning vs. Tom Brady never gets old,” Foxsports.com’s Alex Marvez said.

“Round 16 comes Sunday in Foxborough.”

Brady is 10-5 against Manning, but Manning won the most recent matchup in the AFC title game last season.

Patriots praise Manning’s neck surgery recovery FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — New England Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia didn’t hesitate Tuesday when asked about Peyton Manning’s arm strength three years after major neck surgery.

“I think Peyton Manning’s arm strength is just fine,” Patricia said on a conference call, as the Patriots began to prepare for a visit by Manning and the Denver Broncos Sunday. “I think it’s pretty evident in his play that he makes all the throws necessary in order to score them a lot of points.”

Manning clearly had trouble throwing when he began his comeback and people have offered all kinds of opinions on him since.

“You can definitely see him push the ball downfield,” Patricia said. “He has some extremely fast receivers and big receivers that can push the ball, push the routes vertically.

Obviously (Emmanuel) Sanders — you can really see him take off downfield and the ball get down to those guys.”

Overall, the Patriots have had success against Manning in his days with both the Indianapolis Colts and Broncos.

Manning has gone 8-14 against New England — 6-12 in the regular season and 2-2 in the playoffs.

In 18 games, he has thrown 41 of his record 510 career regular season TD passes against New England, but has also had 24 of his 222 interceptions. In the postseason, he has three TDs and eight interceptions against the Patriots.

He lost his first two postseason games against New England, but has gone 59 of 90

for 629 yards in winning the last two - 32 of 43 in last season’s AFC title game. But even in those wins, Manning has thrown just two touchdown passes and three interceptions against the Belichick teams.

Manning is having another great year as the Broncos come to New England 6-1 to face the 6-2 and streak Patriots.

“He’s good because he does everything good,” said Patriots coach Bill Belichick.

“Really, I don’t think there are any weak points in his game. He’s very smart. He has a great understanding of concepts and timing, game management, clock management, situational football — third down, red area — great utilization of the field from sideline-to-sideline and attacking the deep part of the field, very accurate, great decision-maker, quick release.”

NOTES: The Patriots, who lost Jerod Mayo for the season to a knee injury, traded for their second linebacker in as many weeks when they picked up veteran Jonathan Casillas from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Terms were not disclosed. Last week, New England acquired Akeem Ayers from the Tennessee Titans and he debuted Sunday against the Chicago Bears, picking up a sack. New England also released offensive lineman Chris Barker.. The Patriots are bringing back 17 of the 22 players Sunday who played on all three title teams back for a 10th anniversary celebration of the last one.

Two - Tom Brady and Adam Vinatieri - are still active while three - Mike Vrabel (Houston Texans), Larry Izzo (New York Giants) and Adrian Klemm (UCLA) are on coaching staffs and can’t make it.
