City to reexamine Ashley Street Cross Street elementary school project By AMY PORTER Correspondent WESTFIELD – At a press conference on Tuesday, Mayor Brian P. Sullivan, Westfield Public Schools Superintendent Stefan Czaporowski and Business Manager Ronald Rix said they are going to undertake an in-depth study to determine whether the proposed 600 student elementary school at the Ashley Street site is still necessary, or whether a smaller 400-student school building would be sufficient. “When you pull the fifth grade out, do you still need a 600 student school there,” asked Czaporowski. He said the district is initiating a study on long term enrollment. The last study, which predated the elementary school building project, was done ten years ago and has expired.
‘The question has to be asked,” he said. Mayor Sullivan said the School Committee made some “pretty tough decisions” over the last year, specifically to pull the fifth grade out of the elementary schools, and to bring Russell School students back to Westfield. The redistricting, which will go into effect in the school year beginning September 2018, will include six K-4 elementary schools, one 5-6 intermediate school, and one 7-8 middle school. Rix said there will be a cost savings in the new plan, as the district will go from seven elementary schools to six. Czaporowski said there will be educational benefits, also. With the new plan, a new elementary school would also be K-4, and would further consolidate the district into five elementary schools. “Here’s where we are, because we made a move
to pull the fifth grade out,” Sullivan said. All three said that the Supreme Judicial Court’s anticipated ruling on the appeal of Article 97 protection of the Cross Street playground was not a factor in their decision to do the study. The case centers on whether the 1.37 acres of the playground which would be taken for the school is Article 97 protected land. “We still feel the Ashley Street neighborhood is the location for the new school,” Sullivan said. He said 90% of the students would walk to the school, which is in a central location in a populated part of the city. Whether a smaller 400-student school building on the site would eliminate the need to take over 1.37 acres of the Cross Street playground, the subject of the suit and appeal, is not yet known, and won’t be until the study is com-

Westfield considers options of farm land By AMY PORTER Correspondent WESTFIELD – The Legislative and Ordinance Committee heard two different proposals on Chapter 61A farm land at its meeting on Tuesday, with two different intents. Under Chapter 61A, the city has the right to exercise its option to purchase farm land, which has lower taxes under the classification. At the meeting, city planner Jay Vinskey submitted a recommendation from the Planning Board that the city exercise its option for two lots of land on Furrowtown Road owned by William Reed which borders Westfield High School. Previously, Westfield has expressed interest in purchasing Reed’s land for future use by the school. Last year, although the City Council said yes to exercise its option to buy two other parcels of the farm, it did not vote to fund the purchase before time ran out on its option. The two lots being offered on Tuesday were at the other end of the land. “Why are we doing these one at a time and two at a time,” asked L&O Committee member William Onyski. Reed’s attorney said the lots come before the city when there is buyer interested in
the land. He added that Reed is trying to sell the whole farm as a farm. “I had to wait a long time for the city. They voted to buy the land, but then voted not to pay for it. I ended up with two house lots in the winter. I have to pay my bills,” Reed said. “Everything is time sensitive. We went to the Community Preservation Committee to get them to fund it, but (they) said no,” said L&O Committee chair Ralph J. Figy, adding, “I appreciate your time and patience, Mr. Reed.” Figy went on to say that he would like to see the city purchase the whole lot “kit and caboodle.” L&O Committee member Mary O’Connell made a motion to recommend that the city move to purchase the land under Chapter 61A, which passed 3-0, although Onyski said he would bring his objections to buying one piece at a time to the Council floor on Thursday. In another Chapter 61A matter, a request to convert farm land at 658 Montgomery Road owned by Timothy and Susan Crane was heard. Brandon Osborne, the Crane’s son-in-law brought the matter to the committee. See Farm Land, Page 8
Additional Springfield Rd. traffic signal discussed WESTFIELD – The City Council’s Legislative and Ordinance sub committee heard a request to amend bond order #2721, which was for roadway improvements to permit expenditures to pay for costs of roadway and traffic light improvements on Springfield Road. Treasurer Meghan Kane said funds remaining in the bond, which total $2.72 million, would allow the city to supplement expenses from a $1.93 MassWorks grant for traffic lights and road widening on the street. She said $20,000 would be used upfront for design and the rest for contingencies. City advancement officer Joe Mitchell said the project JOE MITCHELL

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—The city’s fire commission chose a new captain for the Westfield Fire Department. The commission chose Westfield firefighter Michael Szenda for the position of captain for the Westfield Fire Department during yesterday’s meeting. Michael Szenda was chosen from among three candidates, all from the department, including one that was acting captain for the department. The other two candidates for the position were a currently-acting captain Christopher King, as well as firefighter Joseph Szenda. According to Westfield Fire Commissioner Albert Masciadrelli, the three were interviewed by four fire chiefs from different departments as part of the interview and prescreening process. These four chiefs were chosen among 12, according to a representative from the city’s Human Resources Department at the meeting. Their findings included rankings of the candidates that were provided to the commission during the meeting and each candidate was asked the same questions. “You three gentlemen I admire you, you went through a lot. The four chiefs that interviewed you, I certainly wouldn’t want to be in front of them,” Masciadrelli said. “All three of you did very well,” he added. Michael Szenda has been on the department for over 11 years and also spent time serving as an acting captain for a period of time. He was previously trained as an See New Fire Captain, Page 8

WESTFIELD – The Legislative and Ordinance sub committee voted 3-0 to approve a resolution of the City Council and the City of Westfield authorizing an intergovernmental agreement with the Springfield Water and Sewer Commission for space at the Provin Mountain Reservoir facility for placement of antenna, microwave, dishes and related equipment for the new municipal radio system and automatic water meter reading system. Department of Public Works Director David Billips said the Water Commission had just approved the resolution earlier in the evening. He said the placement of equipment will allow the city to have full coverage for the new water meters. Billips said the cost, which is initially estimated at $60,000, would come out of the $4 million bond that was previously approved by the City Council in 2016. Billips said the new meters will save the city “tens of thousands of dollars,” by helping to locate 300 million gallons of unaccounted water usage a year.

Traffic stop turns into arrest in Granville By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent GRANVILLE – Granville Police conducted a traffic stop that led to an arrest over Labor Day weekend. On Friday evening around 9:45 p.m. Granville Police pulled over a male for speeding on Old Westfield Road and right near Wildcat Road. While the officer found that the driver of the vehicle had a suspended license, it was also discovered that he had multiple pills of Oxycodone in his possession. According to Granville Police Lt. Rick Rindels, the male was charged with operating with a suspended license, possession of Oxycodone, and speeding in a posted zone. It also appeared that the operator had an active warrant out of Westfield District Court. The individual was booked at the Granville Police Department in which he was then released on bail and will now appear in Westfield District Court.

Mennonites share music locally and at Ground Zero By LORI SZEPELAK Correspondent BLANDFORD-Eighty Mennonite students from around the world – including young people from the Pioneer Valley Mennonite Church in Russell, will present a unique concert Sept. 10 at the White Church of Blandford. “Come & Worship through Song” is the theme of the 7 p.m. free event, hosted by the Blandford Historical Society. Each month throughout the year, the society hosts a variety of musical, educational and inspirational programs that are geared for all ages. “This is our 13th year of bringing a group of students together in this way and it started out with the main focus being a visit to Ground Zero to sing for the families that lost loved ones in 9/11,” said Ronald Hess of Russell, who added that the group’s focus has “broadened” over the years. Hess serves as the chorus director and also helped start the Mennonite church in Russell 18 years ago. Hess encourages local residents to attend the 90-minute event which will feature sing-alongs and old-time hymns. “The group consists of different young folks each year and they come mainly from all over the United States, all over Canada, and including quite a few from some of our mission churches in Mexico and many other countries,” said Hess.

in song. “The name of the group basically reflects the reason we do this,” said Hess. “Jesus taught us to serve one another, including our neighbors and all mankind. The focus of the conference is on teaching our young folks to love to serve – singing, encouraging, stacking wood or cleaning out someone’s attic – whatever it is.” Attendees at the Blandford program will also be able to meet the students following the event. Upcoming programs also planned by the society include “500 Years of Music for Guitar” by internationally known guitarist and composer Peter Griggs on Sept. 17 from 4 to 5:30 p.m. at the White Church of Blandford. Griggs will perform music for classical guitar from the Renaissance to the contemporary, as well as Flamenco, Brazilian music, jazz, blues and several of his own compositions. Admission is by donation. Griggs has presented more than 500 solo guitar concerts throughout the United States, Germany, United Kingdom, France, Scandinavia and Eastern Europe at art centers, festivals, museums, churches, jazz clubs and other venues. He was based for more than 10 years in Dusseldorf, Germany, and now resides in Brooklyn, N.Y. Events rounding out the year’s schedule include an Oct. 13 lecture at 7 p.m. titled
ODDS & ENDS Maine’s ‘Passy Pete’ lobster predicts 6 more weeks of summer BELFAST, Maine (AP) — A group of Mainers says Passy Pete the Lobster has predicted six more weeks of summer at an annual ceremony. The crustacean has been fished out of the Passagassawakeag River for the past three years in a tradition modeled after famed groundhog Punxsutawney Phil’s winter prediction in Pennsylvania. David Crabiel and his business partner, David Brassbridge, thought up the eccentric ceremony as a way to have some fun. Each year, a group of barons flank Passy Pete as he picks a scroll to determine whether Maine will see an extended summer or be greeted by winter. This year’s ceremony took place Monday. Crabiel tells WLBZ-TV Pete’s been right the past two years. Brassbridge says they hope to carry on the tradition.

South African Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd was stabbed to death by an apparently deranged page during a parliamentary session in Cape Town. In 1970, Palestinian guerrillas seized control of three U.S.-bound jetliners. (Two were later blown up on the ground in Jordan, along with a London-bound plane hijacked on Sept. 9; the fourth plane was destroyed on the ground in Egypt. No hostages were harmed.) In 1975, 18-year-old tennis star Martina Navratilova of
Czechoslovakia, in New York for the U.S. Open, requested political asylum in the United States. In 1985, all 31 people aboard a Midwest Express Airlines DC-9 were killed when the Atlanta-bound jetliner crashed just after takeoff from Milwaukee’s Mitchell Field. In 1997, a public funeral was held for Princess Diana at Westminster Abbey in London, six days after her death in a car crash in Paris.

House panel subpoenas Justice Dept., FBI over documents By MARY CLARE JALONICK and ERIC TUCKER Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The House Intelligence Committee has subpoenaed the Justice Department and the FBI for documents related to a dossier of salacious allegations involving President Donald Trump and possible ties to Russia. In a Sept. 1 letter to the Justice Department obtained by The Associated Press, the committee wrote that it had served subpoenas on Aug. 24 to the department and the FBI for documents related to the panel's investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election. The department and the agency had missed the original Sept. 1 deadline, so the panel extended the deadline to Sept. 14. The letter is signed by committee chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., who stepped back from the Russia investigation earlier this year after he was criticized for being too close to the White House. Rep. Mike Conaway, R-Texas, took over the leading role, but his name does not appear on the letter. As chairman, Nunes retains subpoena power in the committee. According to the letter, the original subpoenas requested any documents related to the dossier and sought information about whether the department was involved in its production. If the documents are not produced, the committee is seeking to compel Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI Director Christopher Wray to testify in an open hearing. The panel issued two additional subpoenas to Sessions and Wray late Tuesday to underscore its seriousness on the matter. "Resort to compulsory process was necessary because of DOJ's and FBI's insufficient responsiveness to the committee's numerous Russia-investigation related requests over the past several months," the letter says. If the committee is unable to obtain documents or testimony, Nunes writes, the committee "expressly reserves its right to proceed with any and all available legal options," including a House vote to hold Sessions and Wray in contempt. The dossier attracted public attention in January when it was revealed that then-FBI Director James Comey had briefed Trump, soon before he was inaugurated as president, about claims from the documents that Russia had amassed compromising personal and financial allegations about him. It's unclear to what extent the allegations in the dossier have been corroborated or verified by the FBI since the bureau has not publicly discussed it. Rep. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the intelligence panel, said on MSNBC Tuesday evening that the subpoenas were issued over the objections of Democrats. Schiff said Republicans are working harder to discredit those who compiled the dossier than to find out if the allegations in it are true. He said Republicans should be more focused on getting documents from the White House.
Trump to pitch tax overhaul in North Dakota WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is promoting his tax overhaul pitch on a visit Wednesday to North Dakota. On Twitter Wednesday, Trump says he'll "discuss tax reform and tax cuts." He adds: "we are the highest taxed nation in the world - that will change." The president, who has offered few specifics on the plan, met with Republican congressional leaders Tuesday to discuss the tax efforts. Trump and congressional Republicans say they want to simplify the tax code, lowering the rate for corporations from the current 15-35 percent range, and bringing relief for the middle class. At a rally near Bismarck, Trump is expected to promote the plan as an opportunity for bipartisanship. He'll be joined by North Dakota's Democratic senator, Heidi Heitkamp, who's traveling with Trump on Air Force One.
Analysis: After tough talk on immigration, Trump waffles By JULIE PACE AP Washington Bureau Chief WASHINGTON (AP) — Since the day he launched his presidential campaign, Donald Trump has talked tough on immigration, promising to take the kind of decisive action he accused other politicians of avoiding. This week, he waffled. Trump passed off responsibility for the fate of the 800,000 young immigrants brought to the United States illegally as children to a Congress that has shown little ability to tackle politically fraught issues. He gave lawmakers six months to act, then said in a Tuesday night tweet that he would "revisit this issue" if they didn't. He sent Attorney General Jeff Sessions out to be the face of the controversial policy, effectively ceding one of the central roles of the presidency: explaining difficult decisions to the American people. Trump addressed the move only briefly during a tax policy event at the White House, saying he had "a great heart for the folks we're talking about, a great love." It was the path of least resistance for a president who promised bold action and decisive leadership. And it pleased almost no one. Democrats — including former President Barack Obama, who instituted the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program in 2012 by excutive fiat — and immigration advocates slammed Trump as cruel and heartless. Some Republican lawmakers said the decision was counter to American values and bristled at Trump's decision to foist the problem on Congress at the start of a fall legislative session already packed with high-stakes issues. Conservatives who pinned their hopes on Trump and his hard-line immigration policies during the campaign — including an unfulfilled pledge to build a wall along the southern border and have Mexico pay for it — accused him of breaking his promises.
Ann Coulter, the far-right commentator who informally advised Trump on immigration issues during the campaign, said Trump's sudden eagerness for immigration legislation that addressed the fate of DACA recipients and other issues was "exactly what he used to denounce." Officials offered few details about what the president wants Congress to do, beyond providing legal status for young people brought to the U.S. illegally as children. Spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the president wanted Congress to include those protections in a broader immigration package, but did not spell out what else Trump wanted in a bill. Previous efforts to pass comprehensive immigration reform have included roadmaps to legal status for people living in the country illegally, a step Trump has panned as "amnesty." Republicans made clear they weren't ready to go down that road again without clear markers from the president. "It is important that the White House clearly outline what kind of legislation the president is willing to sign," Florida Sen. Marco Rubio said. "We have no time to waste on ideas that do not have the votes to pass or that the president won't sign." In punting to Congress, Trump is taking a page out of the playbook of predecessors. Presidents often try to pass the burden for difficult decisions on to Congress. Obama tried for years to get Congress to take up sweeping immigration legislation, and ultimately took executive action to protect hundreds of thousands of young immigrants from deportation when it became clear lawmakers wouldn't act on that front ahead of his re-election campaign. But rarely do presidents hang the kind of legislative albatross on their own party in the way Trump did. The sixmonth timeframe he set for lawmakers to act before pulling work permits from the Dreamers extends into a midterm
election year, when Congress is less likely to take up a politically sensitive issue. Republicans, who have spent years struggling with the party's positioning on immigration, have no appetite for taking up legislation this year. While some GOP leaders complained of executive overreach when Obama enacted DACA, many are sympathetic to the young immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children and were willing to let the program stand. "I strongly believe that children who were illegally brought into this country through no fault of their own should not be forced to return to a country they do not know," said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who called Trump's move the "wrong approach." The president's decision underscored his own uneasiness with the future of the program. As a candidate, Trump vowed to end the deportation protections for young immigrants. But as president, he assured the dreamers they could "rest easy." In private meetings with aides, he often tried to skirt the issue and delay a decision on the program's future. Ultimately, Trump left many questions unanswered. Among them: what happens in March if Congress hasn't passed legislation to clarify the status of the young immigrants? The president's Tuesday night tweet appeared to leave open the possibility that he could follow Obama's lead and use his executive power to continue protecting the Dreamers from deportation. But in another indication of the president trying to have it both ways, the guidance the White House sent to members of Congress included an ominous warning. "The Department of Homeland Security urges DACA recipients to use the time remaining on their work authorizations to prepare for and arrange their departure from the United States," the guidance read.

State leaders condemn decision to end immigrant program BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts leaders are condemning President Donald Trump's decision to dismantle a program that shields from deportation young immigrants brought to the country illegally. Attorney General Maura Healey, Boston Mayor Martin Walsh and U.S. Sen. Ed Markey criticized the decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program at a news conference Tuesday. Healey called the decision "shameful." Markey says it "will not stand." Walsh says many of the DACA recipients are "just as American as Jeff Sessions and
Donald Trump." The three Democrats were joined by Harvard University graduate Diana Ortiz, who enrolled in the DACA program
&
after she was brought into the country nearly 20 years ago. Ortiz says "we are Americans by heart if we aren't Americans by law."

FOODTRAVEL Sever egg rolls from the restaurant by making these at home By SARA MOULTON Associated Press Who doesn't love an egg roll? For generations it's been Chinese cuisine's No. 1 hit in America. And why not? They're ubiquitous, they're fried, they're delicious, and you can eat them with your hands. Unfortunately, egg rolls are restaurant food. Making them at home can seem too daunting. First, there's a ton of prep. Second, you have to deep-fry them in a big pot of hot oil. Here's a solution in two easy steps; make the filling ahead of time and saute the rolls instead of deep-frying them. Even if you weren't in a rush, you'd want to make the filling ahead of time. It needs to cool down before being added to the wrappers. Otherwise, it'll sog them up. So why not plan ahead and prepare this dish on a weekend? (With the new school year upon us, I'll note that filling and rolling the wrappers can be a fun task for the kids. almost as much fun as eating them.) Here the egg rolls are filled with sauteed pork, red pepper, carrots and Napa cabbage. But if you fill them with leftovers instead — shredded chicken, cooked broccoli, peas, etc. — you'll save yourself the trouble of having to slice and dice a mountain of raw ingredients. Do keep in mind, however, that all the ingredients need to be cooked before being stuffed into the wrappers. This step eliminates excess moisture and guarantees that everything is thoroughly cooked. The great thing about a deep-fried egg roll is its crackly crisp shell. I'd never claim that sauteing them delivers the same crunch, but you'll get close. That said, you need to turn over each egg roll frequently as it cooks in the skillet to make sure that every part of its surface becomes nicely browned. Chinese restaurants classify egg rolls as appetizers, but I see no reason to confine them to a supporting role. These rolls are quite substantial and, with the addition of a simple side dish, they'll do a stellar job in the center of your dinner plate.
NOT FRIED EGG ROLLS WITH SOY SESAME DIPPING SAUCE Servings: 4 to 6 Start to finish: 1 hour, 15 minutes For the dipping sauce: 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce 2 tablespoons rice vinegar (unseasoned) 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon sesame oil For the egg rolls:
This August 2017 photo shows "not fried egg rolls" in New York. This dish is from a recipe by Sara Moulton. (Sara Moulton via AP) 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 tablespoons minced ginger 2 teaspoons minced garlic 8 ounces ground pork Kosher salt 1/3 cup thinly sliced scallions 1 cup finely chopped red pepper 1 cup coarsely grated carrot 2 cups finely shredded Napa cabbage 1/3 cup chicken broth 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce 14 egg roll wrappers Make the dipping sauce: In a small bowl combine all the ingredients. Set aside. Make the egg rolls: In a large nonstick skillet heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring 1 minute. Add the pork and a hefty pinch of salt, reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring, until it turns white, about 2 minutes. Transfer with a slotted
spoon to a medium bowl. Add another tablespoon of the oil, the scallions, red pepper and carrot to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add the cabbage, stock and soy sauce, and simmer, stirring until all of the liquid has evaporated and the vegetables are tender but not mushy. Add the mixture to the pork bowl, stir well and set aside to cool to room temperature. Clean the skillet and set it aside. Working with two egg roll wrappers at a time arrange them on the counter with one of the corners facing you. Place level 1/4 cup of the filling in the center of the wrapper and bring up the bottom corner that is facing you half way up to cover the filling. Fold in the left and right corners of the wrapper snuggly over the filling. Moisten the top corner and bring it down to form a rectangular package, pressing firmly to make sure the top corner is well glued.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in the large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add half the rolls to the skillet, reduce the heat to medium and cook the rolls, turning them frequently until they are golden brown on all sides, about 6 to 8 minutes total. Transfer them to paper towels to drain and repeat the procedure with the remaining oil and remaining egg rolls. Transfer to plates and serve right away with the dipping sauce. ——— Nutrition information per serving of egg rolls: 459 calories; 186 calories from fat; 21 g fat (4 g saturated; 0 g trans fats); 34 mg cholesterol; 746 mg sodium; 51 g carbohydrate; 4 g fiber; 3 g sugar; 16 g protein.

COOKING ON DEADLINE
Spicy Braised Radicchio and Red Cabbage By KATIE WORKMAN Associated Press We always had some sort of braised red cabbage during the Jewish holidays, especially Rosh Hashana, when I was little. I remember being very skeptical of the sweet and sour jumble, but then really falling for it. For this cabbage dish, I decided to fall headfirst for the notion of "red," adding radicchio and red onions to the cabbage. The stovetop braising softens the bitterness of the lettuce and the sharpness of the onion, though those do contribute wonderful layers of flavor to the dish. A little sweetness comes from the honey and the orange juice, a bit of tartness from the lemon, and a bit of both from the balsamic vinegar. Seriously, how gorgeous is this dish, and can't you picture it sitting next to a roast of any kind? This recipe makes a lot, so use a big pot or Dutch oven. I love the leftovers, but you can easily cut the recipe in half. ———

Westfield Cultural Council to hold Grantee Reception and Open Q&A Session WESTFIELD — The Westfield Cultural Council (WCC) will be holding a joint reception and question and answer session, open to the public, on Tuesday, September 12 from 6 – 8 PM at the Horace Mann Center, located at 333 Western Ave. Light snack and drink will be served. This celebration will showcase the work of individuals and organizations who have received grant funding from the WCC, ranging from educational performances at elementary schools to music at the farmer’s market. In FY17, the council awarded nearly $20,000 in grants to support community-wide programming in a range of creative fields. At the reception, the public is invited to learn more about the council and the opportunity to apply for and receive funds. Applications for grants will be made available online on September 1, and are due by October 15. A list of past grantees and guidelines can be found at https://www.mass-culture.org/westfield. Dependent upon state allocation, grants will be awarded in late autumn of 2017, after the application deadline closes. Individuals, nonprofits, unincorporated organizations, public schools, and religious organizations are invited to apply for funds to assist in producing or continuing arts, humanities, or science centered programs that take place within Westfield city limits. Council members will be present at the reception to answer questions on the grant, as well as to hear feedback from the community on what they would like to see funding allocated for. The council takes feedback from the public on a yearly basis to ensure grant money is given to projects that benefit the public good. ——— The Westfield Cultural Council is a commission of the City of Westfield, affiliated with the Massachusetts Cultural Council. Its 13 members, elected by the Mayor, oversee grantmaking of MCC funds to local organizations, artists, and nonprofits in Westfield annually. ——— More details on the Council or this reception are available by contacting Chair of the WCC, Amy Tosi, at TosiAmy@yahoo.com or 413.244.0856.

EMT-Basic and had become an EMT-Intermediate. In addition, Michael Szenda said during a brief interview with the commission that he was also a personal trainer for 10 years, received a bachelors degree in business and has several certifications related to firefighter training. He also has volunteered time to youth sports in the city, he said. King has been on the department for about 16 and a half years, including serving as an acting captain for the department. According to King, he received certifications for EMT-Basic and EMT-Paramedic previously. He is the only paramedic from the three. Joseph Szenda has spent 20 years on the department, in addition to six years in the US Army, and received his EMT-Basic certification. He said that he received a bachelors in business management and has also helped negotiate a number of contracts with the city on behalf of the fire department. He also has worked on creating a scholarship in honor of fallen firefighter Kevin Regan, he said. Michael Szenda’s promotion was ordered to take effect today, Sept. 6, and he was sworn into the position by the fire commission and city clerk Karen Fanion following the commission’s decision yesterday. The position was made vacant and was filled with acting captains since February 2016.

Farm Land
Continued from Page 1 “My in-laws graciously gifted my wife and I a parcel of land behind their farm,” Osborne said. He said he has been working on dividing the lot since 2015, and has been before the Planning Board, the Conservation Commission, Army Corps of Engineers, Mass. Fish & Wildlife, and the Mass. Department of Environmental Protection among others to get permissions, all of which he had deeded and recorded with copies for the committee. He said the land is 6.83 acres total, with a 1.43 acre building lot and small bridge on the driveway, and the remainder wetlands with endangered species, and restricted from building. He said he also paid a cash bond of $2,500 to the city. Timothy Crane said it’s a pretty good deal for the city. “Out of 7 acres, the city gets 5.39 acres of open space, which abuts another 100 acres,” Crane said. He said the city will also get a taxable house building lot with a new house on it. Onyski made a motion for the city to refuse the right of first refusal on the property, which now goes to the City Council on Thursday. “For being a rookie, you did a good job,” Figy said to Osborne.

Committee has custody of much larger parcels than the one on Cross St. Why aren’t those properties being discussed for the location of a school? Those lands are not protected and do not need to be replaced with make-up recreational land, as the Cross St. Playground needs to be replaced,” commented Thomas Smith, plaintiff in the Cross St. lawsuit. Another unknown is whether the Massachusetts School Building Association (MSBA) would approve the amended plan, or whether the city would have to start over from the beginning in the approval process. ”They’ve been supportive of us through all of this. They’re willing to stay on board,” Sullivan said, adding, “If we have to start over, it must be the right move at the right time.” The urgency in building a new elementary school is in order to close Abner Gibbs, which was built in 1898 and Fort Meadow pre-school, built in 1911, and move the pre-school to Franklin Avenue. Rix said it goes back to equity. Abner Gibbs is inaccessible to the handicap. Rix said they also just pulled out the boiler in the building, and have been flex sealing the roof. The school also does not have the power to supply the newer technologies that other schools have. Czaporowski said the school also has a “cafegymnatorium,” in which lunch, sports and performances all take place. However, Sullivan said the families that go to Abner Gibbs still love the school. “Those students don’t know anything else,” he said. The opportunities of building a 400-student school on the Ashley Street site would lie in efficiency. Rix said taxpayers’ dollars wouldn’t be wasted in building a larger school than is needed, and combining two elementary schools into one would save the city $1.1 million dollars. The study will begin by looking at old data. Currently, Westfield Public Schools has 240 more total students than was predicted in the old study. This year’s student population, which was anticipated to be down by 100 over last year, is only down by half that number, Czaporowski said, although the official census won’t be taken until October 1. “It seems like common sense to me that we are looking at this,” Czaporowski said.

involves road widening , and installing a light that will talk to five other lights. “Because this isn’t just a light,” Mitchell said, adding that the project on Route 20 has to be in conformity with state regulations. “We have to jump through all the hoops,” Mitchell said. L&O member Bill Onyski asked if the bond expenditure could be limited to $250,000. Kane said a limit would require them to come back before the City Council if that limit were exceeded. City engineer Mark Cressotti said that amount could be low, and he would recommend a $500,000 limit. “The hard part in coming back to go through two more readings, is it could cancel the project,” said director of purchasing Tammy Tefft. “I think Mark (Cressotti) is correct,” she added. Cressotti said it was still early in the project to tell how much might be needed. Figy suggested amending the bond, with a provision of up to $400,000 to be used for engineering and contingency. City solicitor Susan C. Phillips said that Kane would have to amend the bond, and have it approved again. A motion was made to leave the request in committee.

How’s that for openers? By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – Connor Geddis delivered the ball to Nick Doyle, who sprinted to it, blowing past a defender, and took it some nearly 30 yards before ringing up Southwick’s first goal in the opening minutes of the 2017 high school boys soccer season. Geddis doled out two more assists, Doyle went on to finish with one goal and one assist, and Kyle Demaio (3 saves) pitched a shutout in net as Southwick rolled to a 3-0 shutout of Easthampton in Tuesday’s season opener at Nonotuck Park. Nick Brown, Evan Clarke, and Tim McGrath finished with one goal apiece for Southwick (1-0). GIRLS’ SOCCER

Heynigen used her outside right foot to knock home a goal on a penalty kick in the first half. In the second half, she headed in a Jules Dickinson’s corner kick, and used her left foot on a long shot for her third straight goal. “Jess said ‘I’ve never done that before,’” Gateway coach Steve Estelle said. “Left foot, right foot, and headed it in.” Becca Herman finished with three saves.

WESTFIELD- Westfield State University’s Department of Communication and Division of Institutional Advancement will hold the second annual Henry Wefing Memorial Golf Classic, the “Wef,” on Friday, September 8 at 10 a.m. at Tekoa Country Club in Westfield. Proceeds from the fundraiser will benefit the Henry Wefing Journalism Scholarship Fund. The late Dr. Wefing began teaching at Westfield State University’s Department of Communication in 1985, specializing in journalism and writing courses. He was also seen regularly tending to a garden located outside of the university’s Horace Mann Center. Dr. Wefing created the garden in 2007 and donated all of the vegetables and herbs he grew to the Westfield Food Pantry. He passed away in May 2015. Since 2016, the Henry Wefing Journalism Scholarship has been awarded annually. As the fund grows, there are plans to increase the number of scholarships awarded. Nearly 60 people attended last year’s inaugural event, including members of the Wefing family. "The ‘Wef’ tournament brings together colleagues, alumni, students, and Henry Wefing's family and friends to enjoy a game Henry loved and to raise funds for students pursuing a career in journalism, which Henry taught and revered as the essential foundation of a democracy," said Dr. Thomas Gardner, professor of Communication. Golfers must register online prior to the tournament at https://www.westfieldalumni.org/ events/upcoming-events/wefinggolf by Tuesday, September 5. The cost to participate is $350 for a foursome, $90 for individual players, and $80 for Westfield State students. Tickets include 18 holes of golf, lunch, and a post-tournament reception. Tickets are available for those who would like to attend the dinner reception for only $30 and there are also sponsorship opportunities at various different levels. Tekoa Country Club is located on 459 Russell Road in Westfield. For more information, contact Suzanne Boniface, adjunct professor of Communication, at 413-478-2652 or sboniface@westfield.ma.edu. Those who cannot attend, but still wish to donate, can do so by visiting https://www.westfieldalumni.org/events/upcoming-events/wefinggolf. ——— For more information on Westfield State University, visit www.westfield.ma.edu, www.twitter.com/westfieldstate, or https://www.facebook.com/WestfieldStateUniversity.

Dear Annie By ANNIE LANE
Uncomfortable With Opposite-Sex Nurse Dear Annie: I would like your opinion on a very distressing problem that I -- along with a lot of other females, I’m sure -- have. It concerns my desire to have control over who sees my body while in a non-emergency medical situation. I recently was confined to a hospital bed for four days because of a non-emergency situation. While there, a male nurse tried to pressure me into letting him conduct very private and intrusive exams and procedures on me. He became almost belligerent in trying to make me believe that he had “every right” to do what he wanted simply because he was a trained nurse. Annie, I was sexual abused in the past and am traumatized at the mere thought of a strange man -- even if he is a nurse -- touching me. Please don’t write me off as just some kook who doesn’t want to be hassled; it goes so much deeper than that, and unless people have been through what I’ve been through, they can’t understand. The philosophy of a lot of hospitals and medical settings seems to be that a male nurse is entitled to tell me what he can do with or to my body. Fortunately, I was given a female nurse after I spoke with a supervisor and convinced her that I would leave the hospital and die before allowing this strange man to take care of me. It’s not as if the majority of nurses aren’t women and readily available anyway. Please help by putting out the word of how much damage can be done to people like me. -- Tortured in New York Dear Tortured: Health care providers should put each individual patient’s needs front and center. When you made clear that you were uncomfortable with this nurse’s touching you, he should have stopped, even if he was just trying to administer care. After all, it’s not “care” if it’s unwanted and distressing. Though hospitals aren’t required to give female nurses to female patients, many will try to accommodate such requests, especially if the patient has been a victim of abuse in the past. The next time you’re scheduling a visit to the hospital or doctor’s office, let the staff know your needs upfront. Additionally, this might be a good time to revisit counseling to address the trauma of your abuse. If you need help finding a counselor, you can call the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s National Helpline at 800-662-4357. Dear Annie: I suspect that most millennials do not even read newspapers, but here is my message for them. If you are planning a wedding, find someone to advise you on wedding protocols, including writing proper thank-you notes. Do not use the internet to thank gift givers. Do not use Facebook, email or even a telephone. It should be a handwritten note; the note should mention the gift; and it should be sent out as soon as possible. Wedding gifts are more expensive than in the past, yet they receive less acknowledgment. Your generation seems to be focused on making weddings big affairs -- yet often without the level of expertise or manners that should accompany such an event. Keep it small, gracious and welcoming for the folks giving you their best wishes. Forgo trying to throw an affair more lavish than you are knowledgeable enough to manage! -- Disgusted in Florida Dear Disgusted: I agree that modest weddings are wonderful weddings. Social media have contributed to the “go big or go home” attitude many people seem to have toward wedding planning these days. I encourage young couples to celebrate their love, not their Instagram likes.
HINTS FROM HELOISE KITCHEN CREATIVITY Dear Readers: Many of you have written in about reusing gadgets, tools and utensils IN THE KITCHEN and giving them new life. Since I’m a fan of recycling, I thought I’d pass along these hints. -- Heloise LIGHT MY COLANDER Dear Heloise: I had an old strainer (colander) in perfectly good condition, so when we remodeled our kitchen, I decided to take my old metal strainer and use it as a light fixture over the built-in kitchen table. I spray-painted it bright yellow, drilled a hole in the bottom and ran the electrical cord through the hole. My husband did all the electrical work. My old strainer now serves as a hanging light over my kitchen table, and it looks great! -- Barbara K., Mankato, Minn. TLC FOR AN OLD LADLE Dear Heloise: My mother-in-law gave me a beautiful oldfashioned soup ladle with a very ornate handle. It was so pretty that I decided to put it on display by nailing it to an old piece of barn board. It now has a short, fat candle resting in the cup part of the ladle, and it looks nice in my kitchen. -- Karen F., Norcross, Ga. A ‘GRATER’ IDEA Dear Heloise: I had four old metal graters for cheese, so I spray-painted them orange, and when they dried, I nailed them, upside down in one long row, to my old oak tree to use as a planter for my air plants. They look cute, and I recycled four identical items rather than throwing them in the trash. -- Abby J., Eugene, Ore.

Leader of team that created McGruff the Crime Dog dies WESTMINSTER, Vt. (AP) — John "Jack" Keil, the advertising executive who led the team that created McGruff the Crime Dog and who voiced the character, has died. Keil died Aug. 25 at home in Westminster West, Vermont, his family said. He was 94. Keil was creative director at Dancer Fitzgerald Sample advertising agency when he and his team created the trench coat-wearing animated dog, with Keil himself saying the slogan "Take a Bite Out of Crime." McGruff, the National Crime Prevention Council's mascot, first appeared in public service announcements in 1980. Since his creation, the raspy-voiced dog has appeared in newspapers and on radio, television and the internet.
In the mid-1980s, the character was urging people to join neighborhood watch groups and to clean up streets and parks to dissuade criminals, the council said. Today it's used in a variety of campaigns to support safety and crime prevention. "He was one of the giants in the advertising industry and shared his talents in support of crime prevention," the council said in an emailed statement. Keil was involved in other high profile ad campaigns and also wrote two books on creativity. His son said his father never had formal training. He majored in economics in college. "But he was a guy that wanted to be an actor so he kind of channeled that sense of drama and being the ultimate
extrovert into everything he did. It was back at a time when you know that got you a fair distance," said Nick Keil. He was born in Rochester, New York, and attended the University of Rochester until he enlisted in the Air Force during World War II. He flew 50 missions over Europe as a bombardier and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, his family said. Afterward, he graduated from the university in 1944. During his advertising career, he and his wife lived in Grand-View-OnHudson, New York, for 58 years. They moved to Vermont in 2006, where they had owned property for many years. In recent years, Keil, a lifelong performer and lover of jazz, enjoyed guest appearances singing with the Brattleboro-area Butterfly Swing Band.

John "Jack" Keil, the advertising executive who led the team that created McGruff the Crime Dog and who voiced the character has died. The family of Keil said he died Aug. 25, 2017, at home in Westminster West, Vt. He was 94. (AP Photo/Barry Thumma, File)

YOUR
HOROSCOPE

By Jaqueline Bigar
DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Sept. 6, 2017: This year you often juggle different interests. In fact, some of your friends could be taken aback by your ability to espouse different, opposing views with ease. You feel comfortable with opposing views, as you look past the obvious and see the same bottom-line issue in both perspectives. If you are single, you often could feel as if you are in perpetual arguments and controversies with whomever you are dating. Come fall 2017, you will learn how to politely disagree or point out similarities. Your ability to communicate soars. If you are attached, passions increase. You often work through problems by kissing and making up. PISCES adds many wild ideas to your already imaginative choices. 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 wake up feeling that you have had a walk on the wild side. As a result, you might want to update your plans since you don’t feel up to snuff. News coming from a distance could be sobering; however, it might not be as negative as you might think. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You might have a premonition about a friend. Rather than overthink the issue, you might want to make a phone call and check in with that person. A partner suddenly could want to have a stronger sense of control. Think before you speak. Tonight: Where the action is. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH A partner could be touchy. You want to find out what is happening with this person. You could have difficulty getting him or her to open up. Have a strong conversation about your feelings and boundaries. Examine your potential options. Tonight: A must appearance. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might want to kick back and listen to your intuition. You could be heading in a new direction after some reflection. Adjust to a change of plans or a new attitude from someone. Routine could be breeding fatigue. A simple schedule adjustment could make all the difference. Tonight: Pace yourself. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might want to mellow out some before responding to someone’s controlling ways; it could prevent a lot of grief. The only way to win a power play is not to play. The other party might get more controlling for a while, attempting to get a response. Eventually the behavior will pass. Tonight: Go along with a dear friend’s or loved one’s request. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You might need to understand what is happening with others. Pace yourself, knowing when to stop pressuring yourself to squeeze one more item or errand in. Your creativity bubbles up when dealing with a difficult scenario. A family member is restrictive or distant in some manner. Tonight: Know when to say no. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Defer if need be. Have you taken on too much work or a project that you need more help with? You could be up for changing your routine, especially on the home front. You don’t need to do a major upheaval. Your words and tone convey an element of coldness. Tonight: Know when to call it a night. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You could be unusually versatile and creative right now. Others notice your innate ability to flex and work through problems. Don’t hesitate to check in on a loved one. He or she appreciates the extra attention. Tonight: Paint the town red! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You feel as if you don’t know the whole story, which is quite likely. Continue to put your best foot forward. Use caution around a changeable money matter. You easily could be on the wrong side of an issue or debate. Tonight: Head home early. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You discover the value of moving forward before a situation becomes too hot of a topic. You have gone over an issue in your mind, only to come up with the same answer: You don’t want to hear other opinions. You might be more negative than you realize. Tonight: Out and about. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Your sense of direction might be off when dealing with a money matter, but otherwise you could be on target. Don’t allow a close associate or loved one to get the best of you. Understand what your choices are. Opt for the most positive path. Tonight: Be willing to take a risk if you feel you can handle a loss. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You might want to continue down a certain path. However, you might not feel secure enough to head down a new trail. Take your time, and discuss the matter with several friends who are likely to hold different views. Don’t allow yourself to feel rushed. Tonight: All smiles, feeling rejuvenated with friends.
