Westfield News sponsors DA forum tonight By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The race to replace new federal district judge Mark A. Mastroianni as Hampden County District Attorney continues in Westfield tonight. The four Democratic candidates for the job – Hal Etkin of Longmeadow, Brett Vottero of Springfield, Anthony Gulluni of Springfield and Shawn Allyn of Agawam – will be sitting side-by-side for a forum sponsored by The Westfield News Group and the Greater Westfield Chamber of Commerce at the Westfield Women’s Club at 28 Court Street. The debate, to be moderated by WNG President Patrick Berry, begins at 7:30 p.m.,
and will give the four candidates an opportunity make their case to voters and to take questions regarding their platfoms for combatting crime and enforcing the laws of the Commonwealth in Hampden County. Etkin and Vottero, 56 and 53 respectively, have spent considerable time working in the DA’s office, with Etkin serving seven years as a prosecutor under former Hampden County DA Matthew Ryan from 1984 to 1991, and Vottero spending 30 years as Assistant District Attorney under both Ryan and his successor William Bennett before leaving the office in 2008. Though the two most experienced men in this race gained a large amount of their experience under Ryan and Bennett, it is the
youngest candidate in the running, the 33-year old Gulluni, who has been given Bennett’s endorsement, and who has spent the past six years as an Assistant DA under Bennett and Mastroianni since being admitted to the Massachusetts bar in 2008. Rounding out the field is the 44-year old Allyn, a defense attorney from Agawam, who has also garnered significant endorsements, most notably those of State Representative Benjamin Swan (D-Springfield) and several civil rights organizations. With no Republican or Independent candidates in the running, the September 9 primary will essentially serve as the District Attorney election.
By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – City police have responded to a larceny report and are investigating the theft of tons of copper from the former Old Colony manufacturing plant on Turnpike Industrial Road. Det. Lt. David Ragazzini said Monday morning that the reports had been filed online a short time earlier by a representative of Cenveo Inc., the Connecticut based company which acquired the plant in September, 2013, when it bought the bankrupt National Envelope Company. Cenveo laid off about 200 local workers when the plant closed in June. Ragazzini said that the larceny report filed online was very brief and reports only that 2-3 tons of See Copper, Page 3

Disturbance proclaims return of students By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – City police responded Sunday night to a call from a Mechanic Street resident who reported, at 11:14 p.m., a very loud college party at an apartment nearby. Officer Seth Florek reports that “noise from voices and a radio could be heard from several hundred feet away” from an apartment at 38 Mechanic Street but when he arrived “several of the guests refused to open the door.” Although the door stayed shut,
Florek reports that he could hear yelling from inside and noted that, when he heard somebody scream “if they come in here I am going to stab them”, he called for additional officers. “This disturbance tied up all police officers that were working”, Florek reports. The party ended when about 125 guests were dispersed but the disturbance continued for a short time longer, Florek reports, because “the party guests left yelling and screaming (while) See Disturbance, Page 3

Planners approve Springfield Road project By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Planning Board voted 6-0 last night to approve a commercial project at 99 Springfield Road, the site of a former automobile dealership. The board approved a special permit, site plan and stormwater management plan requested by Julie and Nabil Hannoush for the proposed reuse of the former Balise dealership as a retail complex. The couple, represented by Rob Levesque of R. Levesque Associates, had requested the permits from the Planning Board to construct an additional retail space on the 11.36-acre site at 99 Springfield Road. Development, which totals 53,435-squarefeet, includes construction of three new buildings to house a variety of businesses, such as See Springfield Road Project, Page 8

Board OKs senior Tons of center fire service copper stolen from shuttered plant
By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Water Commission voted last night to fund installation of a larger water main to provide sufficient flow for fire service at the Senior Center now under construction on Noble Street. City Engineer Mark Cressotti presented the project, and the funding request of $48,900, to the board, explaining that the water line improvement is part of a much larger project planned in the future, but that the fire flow is needed much sooner for senior center. The current water line serving Noble Street is “inadequate” for fire protection, mostly four-inch line and will eventually be replaced as part of the Old Town Improvement Project. The scope of the Old Town project is to replace infrastructure, including water lines, where needed, and install new curbing and pavement. Cressotti said water mains have been replaced on other streets near the senior center. There is a 12-inch main on Lindbergh Boulevard and an eight-inch line under McKinley. Cressotti said that the eight-inch line will be extended 225 feet along Noble Street to the senior center site. A sixinch line will be installed across the parking lot of the center and connect to an existing four-inch line providing water to Murphy Circle. “It will create a loop and improve water pressure not only to the senior center, but also the residents of the senior apartment complex,” Cressotti said. “I’ve been told they cannot open the doors (of the senior center) without fire protection. They need fire flow for occupancy.” “The senior center is under construction now, and will be opened at this time next year,” Cressotti said, “so we need to improvement the water main on Noble Street.”
“It is awfully important to know what is and what is not your business.”

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Legislative & Ordinance Committee of the City Council will review a resolution submitted by Mayor Daniel M. Knapik to lease 13,000 trash containers needed to launch the city’s single-stream recycling program. The City Council voted at its Aug. 21 meeting to send the resolution authorizing the city to enter into the five-year-lease-to-own to the L&O for further review. The L&O is slated to meet tonight at 6 p.m. in the City Council Chambers to discuss the issue. The lease, with TAMMY TEFFT Municipal Capital Markets Group, Inc., will enable the city to convert the present 96-gallon solid waste containers into recycling containers. Resident will be given a new 65-gallon container for their trash. The funding for the lease-to-own agreement is currently in the Department of Public Works budget, so no appropriation was submitted to the council as part of the lease agreement. See Lease, Page 3

Gateway teacher selected to score AP exams Huntington – Rod Kleber was selected to participate in scoring the College Board’s 2014 Advanced Placement (AP) exams in AP English Literature and Composition. This is the third time that Kleber has taken part in this process, which required a half-day of training and six days of reviewing essays. Each June, AP teachers and college faculty members from around the world gather in the United States to evaluate and score the open response sections of the AP Exams. During the 2014 review, more than 12,500 AP Readers evaluated more than 4.2 million AP Exams. For Kleber, this translated into reading and scoring over 900 essays, or an average of 150 each day. “It sounds tedious, but it is a great professional development opportunity,” reported Kleber, who teaches AP English Literature and Composition for Gateway Regional Sr. High School. “You meet and network with teachers and professors from all over the world.” He added that it also gave him greater insight into preparing his own AP students to perform well on this exam. AP Readers are high school and college educators who represent many of the world’s leading academic institutions. The AP Reading is a unique forum in which an academic dialogue between educators is both fostered and encouraged. “The Reading draws upon the talents of some of the finest teachers and professors that the world has to offer,” said Trevor Packer, Senior Vice President, AP and Instruction at the College Board. “It fosters professionalism,
Gateway’s AP English teacher Rod Kleber. allows for the exchange of ideas, and strengthens the commitment to students and to teaching. We are very grateful for the contributions of talented educators like Rod Kleber.” The Advanced Placement Program® (AP®) enables willing and academically prepared students to pursue college-level studies—with the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both—while still in high school. Through AP courses in 34 subjects, each culminating in a rigorous exam, students learn to analyze complex problems, construct solid arguments, and see many sides of an issue— skills that prepare them for college and beyond. Research indicates that students who score a 3 or higher on an AP Exam typically experience greater academic success in college and are more likely to earn a college degree than nonAP students. Gateway Regional High School offers AP courses in English, mathematics, science and social studies. Students may also elect to take online AP courses.

Holy cannoli! Man eats 13.5 pastries in 5 minutes SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) — Holy cannoli! A man ate nearly 14 cannolis in five minutes during an eating contest at an Italian festival in northeastern Pennsylvania. Twenty-five-year-old David Wood beat out seven other contestants at La Festa in Scranton. Wood tells The Times-Tribune (http:// bit.ly/1rhGNIf ) that he’d never even tried the cream-filled pastries before Monday’s event. The Kingston resident won with an official total of 13-1/2 cannolis, since a piece fell out of his mouth as time expired. Wood took home $150 in prize money. He joked he’d spend his winnings on hot dogs in order to train for the famous July Fourth eating contest at Coney Island, New York.

O
n September 3, 1939, Britain, France, Australia and New Zealand declared war on Germany, two days after the Nazi invasion of Poland; in a radio address, Britain’s King George VI said, “With God’s help, we shall prevail.” The same day, a German U-boat torpedoed and sank the British liner SS Athenia some 250 miles off the Irish coast, killing more than 100 out of the 1,400 or so people on board.
On this date:
In 1951, the television soap opera “Search for Tomorrow” made its debut on CBS. In 1967, the original version of the television game show “What’s My Line?,” hosted by John Charles Daly, broadcast its final episode after more than 17 years on CBS. In 1976, America’s Viking 2 lander touched down on Mars to take the first close-up, color photographs of the planet’s surface.
In 1189, England’s King Richard I (the Lion-Hearted) was crowned in Westminster Abbey.
In 1989, a Cubana de Aviacion jetliner crashed after takeoff in Havana, killing all 126 aboard and 45 people on the ground.
In 1658, Oliver Cromwell, the Lord Protector of England, died in London; he was succeeded by his son, Richard.
In 1994, China and Russia proclaimed an end to any lingering hostilities, pledging they would no longer target nuclear missiles or use force against each other.
In 1783, representatives of the United States and Britain signed the Treaty of Paris, which officially ended the Revolutionary War. In 1868, the Japanese city of Edo was renamed Tokyo. In 1914, Cardinal Giacomo Della Chiesa became pope; he took the name Benedict XV. In 1923, the United States and Mexico resumed diplomatic relations. In 1944, British forces liberated Brussels during World War II.
Ten years ago: A three-day hostage siege at a school in Beslan, Russia, ended in bloody chaos after Chechen militants set off bombs as Russian commandos stormed the building; more than 330 people, over half of them children, were killed. Former President Bill Clinton was hospitalized in New York with chest pains and shortness of breath; he ended up undergoing heart bypass surgery.
Five years ago: Vice President Joe Biden told a Brookings Institution gather-
ing that the Obama administration was fiercely determined to get a health care overhaul, although he conceded it likely wouldn’t happen without “an awful lot of screaming and hollering.” A private funeral service was held in Glendale, California, for pop superstar Michael Jackson, whose body was entombed in a mausoleum more than two months after his death.
One year ago: Ariel Castro, who’d held three women captive in his Cleveland home for nearly a decade before one escaped and alerted authorities, was found hanged in his prison cell, a suicide. Former NBA star Dennis Rodman arrived in Pyongyang for his second visit to North Korea.

Copper
Continued from Page 1 copper were stolen over a period of about a month. Det. Scott Phelon was assigned to the case and reports that, although his investigation is in its infancy, it is obvious that a large amount of copper piping and wiring has been stolen from the former envelope plant that is being dismantled. He said that heavy gauge copper wire had been in place, apparently to supply power to the machines in the plant, and some of it was removed by the thieves. Other copper scrap had been removed by workers and had been stacked for shipment before it was stolen, Phelon said. Phelon said that the theft occurred over a period of about a month. In an unrelated theft of copper over the weekend, a much smaller amount was stolen from a fountain at Half Mile Park over the weekend. Police report that a worker from a fountain maintenance company Monday reported she had found copper fittings missing when she arrived to clean the fountain at Half Mile Falls Park. The woman said that the fountain was damaged and copper valued at about $100 was stolen. Capt. Michael McCabe said that officers are pursuing a line of investigation in that case.

Continued from Page 1 The single-stream recycling plan is intended to increase the volume of material recycled and reduce the amount of trash sent to landfills or incinerators. The city receives some revenue for recycled materials, but it is the cost-avoidance aspect of reducing the volume of solid waste which makes singlestream attractive. The city’s program will convert residents’ current 96-gallon trash barrel into a single-stream recycling barrel, eliminating the need for bins now used to recycle cans and bottles and paper, bins which do not have wheels and are awkward to carry to the curb. The city will purchase new 65-gallon trash barrels with less volume than the current barrels to encourage residents to recycle more material. City Purchasing Department director Tammy Tefft said yesterday that the annual cost of the five-year lease is $116,899.63, but added there may be other costs to implement the single-stream recycling program. A team, comprised of Community Development Director Peter J. Miller Jr., City Purchaser Tammy Tefft, Health Director Joe Rouse, and Sanitarian Barry Searle, who has fostered the city’s recycling initiatives to date, and Deputy Superintendent of the Department of Public Works Casey Berube have been working on the recycling program. Tefft said that a proposal to replace the lids of the current 96-gallon containers with a yellow lid was scrapped because of the significant cost. “The team found that the yellow lid proposal was costprohibitive,” Tefft said. “The cost of replacing the present lids with the yellow lids was $200,000. The cost-effective route that the team is taking now is to put a decal on the lids of the existing containers.”

Gateway Superintendent’s Corner Labor Day, the traditional end of the summer and transition to fall with daylight hours declining, nights becoming cooler, and students’ returning to school. Just like the seasons, there are also changes occurring in the Gateway School District. From staff changes bringing new faces and fresh perspectives into the classrooms to operational changes, the district is changing to better meet student needs. Although many of these changes have been shared through news releases, let me highlight two with you once again. The changes most likely to impact students in grades 7-12 involve the length of the school day. This change, essentially adding 5 minutes to the time students spend in classes, does not impact the bussing schedule but does allow the number of class periods to be extended from 5 to 7. By adding two additional class periods to the day, we are able to expand course

tion for working with the administration to make this change a reality because this changes their daily routines, increases the number of classes being taught, and requires more work on their part. In a small school system like ours, every change impacts the entire district. Changing the 7-12 schedule has ripple effects, even on the PreK-6 grades, especially in terms of sharing staff across the district. Thankfully our administrators collaborate well and, through their diligence, we’re able to continue moving forward without large disruptions in daily operations. A major change in the PreK-6 realm is the move to a 1to1 Chromebook initiative in grades 3 and 6. After two successful sets of pilot Chromebook projects last year, we elected to move forward with a larger pilot See Gateway, Page 7

COMMENT
I would just like to thank the person or persons who have taken it upon themselves to egg my vehicle at 2 seperate occasions in the last 2 months. At first I took it personaly because of my political signs that appear on my lawn. If thats the case please just knock on my door and we can have a discusion about that. Please stop being such a coward. I also went as far as to buy a security camera and was going to try to catch you in the act. How sad is that. I recently returned the camera and decided to turn the other cheek. that’s why I am thanking you for giving me another turn the cheek lesson. And by the way I have a monthly pass at the car wash so I won’t say have at it. I’d say grow up and peace be with you. I’d just would like to say that every time I drive by Parker Park, I admire the shrubs. The person that trims them is truly and artist who does a wonderful job. We should compliment people more often…. Think about it. Hi. It’s two weeks before school starts and I’m a little upset. Our laptop disappeared from our house while we were on vacation and I just want it to be made known that if anybody out there has purchased a purple laptop Hewlett Packard it would be greatly appreciated if it could get returned anonymously to the Westfield Police Department or to the computer place on Elm Street it would be greatly appreciated. I have one child that is home-schooled and desperately needs that computer. I also have a Junior at the Vocational High School that’s in carpentry and needs it to do blueprints and I’m just distraught over the fact that it disappeared and living on a very fixed income, it’s very upsetting to have that disappear out of the house and with everything else that was here, that seemed to be the only thing that ended up missing. I just pray that someone will turn it in and have a conscience and turn it in and if money is owed on it because it was sold. I’d be more than happy to pay that back. If you could please give me a call back at 568-5124 if you know anything about this purple Hewlett Packard computer. Its not even a year old, it would be greatly appreciated if you open up the computer, it has Mrs Pots for Julie (?) and it also has on the inside of it – for Elizabeth and Katrina Boo from Monsters Inc. and for Sam, it’s Violet from the Incredibles. It would be greatly appreciated if this laptop was returned, it is a really bad inconvenience for my family, having this laptop no longer in my home. So if you could give us a call if you know anything about this purple laptop it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and have a great day.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR To the Editor The proposal by the Pioneer Valley Transit Authority (PVTA) to eliminate four parking spaces in front of the Westfield Athenaeum and another two spaces in front of the United bank, Elm Street, in order to shuttle Westfield State University students between downtown and the college is insensitive to the needs of Westfield taxpayers, especially the elderly, handicapped and those who have difficulty walking, who use the library on a regular basis. Many parking spaces have already been eliminated with the changes in Park Square. While there is some parking at the back of the library, access is difficult for those with any kind of disability. If one can find a parking space at the back of the library, they have a long walk into the children’s library, then up a flight of stairs into the adult library, and then walk from the back of the library to the front just to return books. Unlike other area libraries, books cannot be dropped off in the Athenaeum’s book return box (which remains locked) unless the library is closed. Who will benefit from eliminating these parking spaces? The PVTA? Probably. Students from Westfield State University? Of course. Certainly not the elderly or handicapped patrons. Therefore, I would urge the Legislative and Ordinance Committee of the City Council to think of the loss to the Westfield taxpayer if this proposal goes through. In agreeing to allow the PVTA to do this will make the Athenaeum even less accessible than it already is. This is not to deny the need for a bus to shuttle WSU students, but there are alternative and other streets downtown that can be used without taking these much needed parking spaces. While this may not seem like a lot to some, to the elderly, handicapped, and those who have difficulty walking, it is. Iris Alderson - Patron of the Athenaeum since 1966.
Health spending comes in under benchmark; employers wary as premiums level off By Christopher Geehern blog.aimnet.org First, the good news – spending on health care in Massachusetts increased a modest 2.3 percent during 2013, well below the 3.6 percent objective set in the 2012 health-care cost control law. Health insurance premiums, adjusted for inflation, declined during the year, while benefit levels remained virtually unchanged. 20-Price-of-pills.smallNow, the bad news – The increase in medical spending exceeded the 1.5 percent rate of inflation as Massachusetts patients spent $50.5 billion - that’s $7,550 per person – on medical care last year. Massachusetts employers, meanwhile still pay the highest health-insurance premiums in the country. The release this morning of the first comprehensive study of medical cost trends in Massachusetts is a riddle for employers struggling with the high cost of providing insurance to workers. The fact that medical spending increases came in well below the overall rate of economic growth is a “win” for the economy, confirming AIM’s long-held positon that the benchmark should have been set lower – two percentage points below gross state product. At the same time, the easing of health spending and premium costs largely reflects a national trend that is unlikely to last as employers face rate increases from federal health reform in 2014. Rick Lord, president of Associated Industries of Massachusetts, told radio station WBUR this morning that members continue to rate health care costs as their top concern. “That’s not a big surprise,” Lord says, “because even though we came off a year where increases were pretty modest, “we also know that health care costs on a per-capita basis are the highest in the country, so that puts [employers in Massachusetts] at a competitive disadvantage.” Individuals and small employers saw the largest increase in health-insurance premiums between 2012 and 2013, according to the Center for Health Information and Analysis (CHIA). Premiums for small groups of between one and 50 enrollees rose 0.4 percent, while those for mid-size groups of 51 to 100 enrollees jumped 0.5 percent. Groups with 101-499 enrollees saw a 0.2 percent decrease and those with more than 500 enrollees saw rates drop 0.8 percent. The CHIA report finds that almost two-thirds of all medical spending in Massachusetts comes through public programs such as Medicare and MassHealth. Those public programs are posting much faster spending growth than the private sector commercially insured medical spending grew by 2.2 percent in 2013, while spending through Medicare rose 3.1 percent and MassHealth spending jumped 4.7 percent. Massachusetts employers paid an average of three-quarters of total premiums in 2013, with employees footing the remaining 26 percent. Cost-sharing for medical care was unchanged between 2012 and 2013 at an average of $48 per member per month. Employers also continue to migrate toward self-insured plans, under which an insurer provides administrative services
but the employer holds the insurance risk for the coverage. Approximately 58 percent of Massachusetts members enrolled in commercial coverage were enrolled in self-insured coverage during 2013, an increase of one percentage point over the previous year. The lull in premium increases during 2013 may have been the eye of the storm for small businesses, some of which encountered premium increases of more than 50 percent this year because of rating changes required by the federal Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA limits to four the rating factors used to calculate small group health insurance premiums, while current Massachusetts law allows for additional consideration of factors such as industry, participation rate, group size, intermediary discount and group purchasing cooperatives. A study by health insurance companies indicates that the rating changes have raised or lowered rates for small companies by up to 57 percent, on top of average increases of 3.7 percent in their base insurance premiums. A separate survey by AIM found that 60 percent of small employers who renewed their health insurance policies on January 1 saw increased premiums. Among the employers who said they would consider making changes to their health plans as a result of the increases, 20 percent told AIM they plan to drop coverage all together because the price hikes are unaffordable. As one member said, “We have not had a pay increase in 12 years and an 18 percent increase in our insurance is deplorable.” The most optimistic employers might look at the good news in the CHIA report and agree with G.K. Chesterton that “progress is a comparative of which we have not settled the superlative.” Most employers, however, will want to see a lot more progress on Massachusetts most-expensive-in-the-nation health costs before throwing around any superlatives.

State unemployment system plagued with problems BOSTON (AP) — The state’s $46 million Web-based system to track unemployment benefits was plagued with problems for months after it launch, frustrating state employees and imperiling residents seeking benefits. State Labor Secretary Rachel Kaprielian (kuh-PREEL’-yun) tells The Boston Globe (http://bit.ly/1sZolmf ) that the agency was initially strained by the “relentless nature” of the problems. The system was rolled out before Kaprielian took office.
Agawam man gets up to 7 years for fatal crash SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — An Agawam man has been sentenced to up to seven years in state prison in connection with a car crash last year that killed a 16-year-old high school sophomore riding in his car. The Republican (http://bit.ly/1rlHArE ) reports that Vincent Albertson was sentenced Tuesday in Hampden Superior Court after pleading guilty to manslaughter by motor vehicle while driving under the influence of liquor and driving with a suspended license. Prosecutors say the 24-year-old Albertson was behind the wheel in West Springfield late on the night of on Nov. 30 when his vehicle went off the road, hit a utility pole and rolled onto its side. One of his four passengers, 16-yearold Amanda Croisetiere, a sophomore at Agawam High School, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Globe obtained hundreds of emails detailing the turmoil. One person who couldn’t get benefits paid faced eviction. Another, with a brain tumor, couldn’t pay for health insurance. Many other unemployed workers received letters erroneously telling them they owed the state for overpayments, one for $45,000. One email from a department officials said the system had paid out $800,000 in benefits that it shouldn’t have. Kaprielian says the system is now stable.

The two other men charged in the killings have already been convicted. Authorities say one of those co-defendants wanted Glasser dead so he couldn’t testify against him in another case. The others were killed to eliminate witnesses. Veiovis was known as Roy Gutfinski Jr. until he legally changed his name while in a Maine prison in 2008.

program that entails providing Chromebooks to every third and sixth grade student in the district. The teachers involved in this project have already spent an extra day reviewing the program and considering how to best use these laptops and have asked for continued professional development around this implementation over the coming year. As a brief overview, Chromebooks are lightweight laptop computers that are capable of many of the functions of a regular laptop. These devices have limited memory and storage space on the machine and are designed to integrate closely with the Google application suite of programs and use the power of the Internet to store, share, and work on projects. They have improved dramatically since the first generation of Chromebooks and can now be used even without Internet access. In our original pilot programs, we found very little work normally done in the classrooms that couldn’t be done on a Chromebook. Due to the much lower cost of Chromebooks, we were able to expand our technology initiative without adding additional costs to the budget by switching from leasing Apple products to buying Chromebooks, using our regular technology replacement schedule. As we move forward with this larger pilot we’ll be able to better determine if the district should continue to move in this direction, in order to provide our students with the technology required to effectively function in modern society. We’ll certainly keep everyone informed on the progress of these two significant changes in the district as we move through the upcoming year.

By Chris Putz Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The heat is on. Mother Nature turned up the dial on the late summer temps, and Westfield battled through sweltering heat and an upstart field hockey team from South Hadley in Tuesday’s season opener. Sophomore Hannah Menard staved South Hadley to a 1-0 first half lead, and the Tigers tacked on three straight second-half goals en route to a 4-2 victory. It was a well-played game for Westfield, all things considered. For the Bombers (0-1), it was their first day of school and one that felt like a lazy, summer afternoon. “It was a tough loss on the chin for our first game,” Westfield coach Karen Gomez said, “but we had a lot of fine moments.” Westfield limited South Hadley to just one goal over the first 30 minutes of the game. Despite falling behind 4-0, the Bombers rallied for the final two goals. Westfield junior Leighanne Sullivan dribbled the ball half the length of the field, powering the ball past several defenders, and smacking it off the goalie into the net with 4:52 remaining in regulation. Liz Marcyoniak notched a goal with 10 ticks left on the clock. Desiree Otero assisted on the play. “South Hadley came out strong,” coach Gomez said. “We need to fine tune a few little things before Agawam on Friday, and we should be in good shape.” Westfield travels to Agawam to take on the Brownies Friday at 4 p.m.

Sophomore Captain Liz Poteat quickly scored the first goal of the game at 27:51 from an assist by Freshman Diana Shia. The two teams did not score again for the remainder of the first half so Westfield led 1-0 going into the second. Freshman wing Maddie Fortier scored her first high school career goal at 21:13 unassisted to bump the score to 2-0. The Lady Bombers had several scoring opportunities throughout the game and played incredible defense. Freshman captains Hannah Jarvis and Fiona Cioch were instrumental in the midfield and their aggressive play was Westfield’s Cara Onyski attempts to outmuscle a Tiger for key to keeping an offensive possession of the ball.

By Chris Putz Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A prolonged heat wave typically leads to a drought. Tuesday was no exception for the Whip City. On Tuesday, the Westfield and East Longmeadow high school boys’ soccer teams failed to produce a single offensive score, leading to a 0-0 tie. “We had a bunch of opportunities that we didn’t cash in on,” said Westfield first-year head coach Andrew Joseph. Westfield goalie Ian Saltmarsh was money in the bank, making a couple of big saves to protect the scoreless tie. “We put forth a good effort on a hot day,” Joseph said. “I’m happy with how well (our players) played.” Westfield (0-0-1) will seek its first victory Thursday against Pittsfield at Kirvin Park. The game begins at 4 p.m.

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
What should I do? Dear Annie: I am a 26-year-old married woman. I love my husband and would do anything for him, and I know he would do the same for me. The problem is, I contacted an old friend after learning his uncle had died. This guy was my first love. I only reached out to him to offer my condolences. But then the conversation went further, and we ended up reminiscing about the past. Since then, we’ve been talking and texting and recently began to talk about having sex. I know I shouldn’t give in to these impulses, but really, I want to. My friend has not pressured me, so I don’t understand why I feel this way. What should I do? -Nameless in the USA Dear Nameless: You should delete his phone number from your records and stop before you make a mess of your life. It is not unusual to fantasize about another partner. A lot of married people do, because marriage can become routine, and an old flame adds excitement. But you need to live up to the commitment you made to your husband to “forsake all others.” Having an affair would hurt him terribly and possibly lead to divorce. Put some of that extra energy into reigniting the passion in your marriage. If you cannot do that, please consider counseling so you can remember why you married in the first place. Dear Annie: Two years ago, my mother was diagnosed with cancer. Mom has spent her life doing whatever she wants, living wherever it suits her and treating people however she chooses, like it or not. She considers herself a free spirit. My brother resents the fact that Mom has hardly been a part of our lives since we were little kids. Mom recently moved in with an ex-husband because she doesn’t like the available rental places. She’s spent her life manipulating people to get what she wants, and most of the family has distanced themselves from her. As a result, I feel guilty that she’s so alone and send her money from time to time, whether or not I can afford it. Everyone asks why I’m so susceptible to her manipulations, including my father, my brother and all of my friends. I am mad at myself, too, yet I just sent her more money because her new housemate mailed me a bill for $300 to help pay for their heat -- in August. This man has a long history of stealing from me even when I was a teenager. I think I may have simply paid for his propane gas for the winter. Should I just keep giving or let her lie in the bed she has made for herself like everyone I know has said I should? -- H. Dear H.: Please listen to your own feelings instead of the people around you. Giving her money makes you feel like a sap, but if you don’t, you feel guilty. And with everyone telling you what an easy mark you are, it only compounds your confusion. We know you care about your mother in spite of her selfishness. This is actually less about Mom and more about you. If giving her money now and then makes you feel better about yourself, it’s fine to continue, but we don’t recommend you advertise your generosity to your friends and family. And if you decide that your kindness is money down the drain and unappreciated, it’s OK to stop. There’s no reason to feel guilty when you are being taken advantage of. Dear Annie: This is in response to the letter from “California,” who claimed a felony could never be expunged under California law. This is not true. Many nonviolent felony convictions are subject to expungement, and it is a fairly easy process. Readers can check the California courts website at courts.ca.gov. -- N.S. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

To cut down on the odor, each week I take used dryer sheets (that have been through the dryer once) and throw one in the bottom of each bag. Keeps odors down between washings! -- Jennifer T. in Colorado PET-OWNED Dear Heloise: Silly us -- we started our puppies out sleeping in our king-size bed with us. Now, two of them are big dogs. The dogs sleep soundly, making it difficult to adjust the blankets once they’re asleep. I finally came up with a solution that works for all of us. I use the sheet set as normal, but I use two king-size blankets. I fold each blanket lengthwise, overlap them slightly down the center of the bed, and then tuck them in at the foot. Each human has ample blanket that he or she can control, and there is no more tug of war. -- Ann Moss, via email TACO HOLDER Dear Heloise: When I make tacos, I use a coffee filter to hold them.

Brian Anderson
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Sept. 3, 2014: This year you are ending a 12-year luck cycle. You won’t want to enter 2015 with any complications. New opportunities will present themselves by your next birthday. In the meantime, you might opt to do some volunteer work and/or get involved in some spiritual activity, like yoga. If you are single, slow down if a dating situation starts moving too quickly. If you are attached, the two of you frequently vanish together. These escapes keep bonding your relationship closer and closer. CAPRICORN finds you to be quite enchanting at times. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You might what to find out what is happening behind the scenes. There appears to be a profound change going on with a significant older person in your life. You will want to air out an issue you have with this individual. Tonight: A must appearance. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You’ll see a personal matter through someone else’s eyes, and you could be taken aback by his or her perspective. Detach in order to understand where this person is coming from. Confusion might surround communication. Maintain a sense of humor. Tonight: At the movies. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You have the ability to handle others, no matter what. No one seems more willing to question people’s motives than you. Understanding is likely to evolve to a new level once you decide to walk in someone else’s shoes. Tonight: Deal with a loved one directly. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You will be able to make someone more interested in what is happening. Your sharing proves to be enticing and interesting, and it will attract this person’s interest. Know your limits, and be willing to ask for more of what you desire. Tonight: Just don’t be alone. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might need to revise your schedule and adjust some of your daily routines. Note the change in season and also in your patterns. You could be very relaxed, as you know that you’re capable of assuming a lot of responsibility. Tonight: Put in extra effort. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH If your imagination isn’t drifting off to thoughts of a loved one, you will be present, wherever you are. If you are single, an opportunity to meet someone could appear. Be careful, as this person might be emotionally unavailable. Tonight: Stay anchored. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Make it a point to seek out any information you need before midafternoon. One question is likely to lead to many others, so be prepared. A meeting could be more important than you realize. Friends seem to surround you. Tonight: Know when to call it a night. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Money matters will dominate your day. Someone might not agree with how you are proceeding. Listen carefully, and you’ll realize the wisdom of this person’s suggestion. Be grateful rather than upset. Tonight: Favorite place, favorite person. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Plow through the day with energy and direction. You might not believe how much you can accomplish when your high energy mixes with your creative ideas. Information that comes in from a distance will put a smile on your face. Tonight: Shop first, then decide. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You might feel uncomfortable throughout the day. As a result, you’ll want to allow a partner or associate to assume a stronger role. Wait to put in your two cents until later in the day. Confusion surrounds you and others. Confirm what you hear. Tonight: Do your thing. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Use the daylight hours to the max. Others could be highly responsive, so be extra careful about how you approach those around you. Try to be subtle. Avoid making plans or scheduling meetings. News could be misrepresented at this point. Tonight: Not to be found. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Take a stand, and know what is expected. You might decide to maintain a lower profile, as you seem to have so much on your plate. Still, you are a natural leader. You are likely to keep becom-

Extra Words
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.
Name: Address: City: State:
Zip:
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.
