City to receive grant for next phase of Columbia Greenway By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – City officials have been notified that the city may receive a $2 million Gateway Communities grant to fund the extension of the Columbia Greenway to the area of Main Street. Mayor Daniel M. Knapik said yesterday that the city has been notified through the Executive Officer of Environmental Affairs that the funds will be made available for construction next summer. “This would keep momentum on the trail work going forward so we don’t have big time gaps between phases,” Knapik said. City Engineer Mark Cressotti said the work needs to be completed in the city’s current 2015 fiscal year which end on June 30, 2015, but added that the state Department of Transportation has not finalized the funding process.
“I don’t have the money yet,” Cressotti said, “I am moving and have met with the city’s consultant, VHB, to get the bid documents ready because we do have to move fast when the funds become available.” “Apparently the DOT is putting the $2 million toward the (Columbia) Greenway project because the city has received Gateway Communities grants and has been successful in completing the work within the required timeframe,” Cressotti said. The Columbia Greenway project funding, $6.8 million for the central phase of construction, was originally included on the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) transportation improvement project (TIP) funding list, but was moved to the state TIP. Federal funds are divided with about half of the funds being passed through the state to the MPOs across the state and the MARK CRESSOTTI

Floatable bridge perfect for Stanley Park

More progress made at Whalley Park By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – The Parks and Recreation Commission discussed the latest updates to Whalley Park last night. Commissioner Daniel Call went over items being taken care of now, including lighting throughout the park. Call said he met with representatives from Musco Lighting last week and reported that the lights were installed and are working. “The fields look good, the parking lot, the road going in – it was 9 p.m. and you would have thought it was daylight,” said Call. All lighting is LED that should last for a longer time than incandescent lights. Call said they would have changed 10 incandescent lights for every one LED they would have to replace. The lights can be turned on manually or remotely by a designated “gatekeeper,” and they come with a 25-year warrantee on parts and labor. Call suggested the group discuss lighting responsibilities in th`e future. “Let’s take the time to think about who manages the lights,” See Whalley Park, Page 3
By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Conservation Commission set condition last night for installation of a floating bridge at Stanley Park to replace a bridge damaged during the freak October snowstorm of 2011. Consultant Rob Levesque, of R. Levesque Associates, presented details of the proposed bridge project to the commission last night. Levesque said the proposed bridge has been designed to minimize environmental impacts on the Little River wetland system and that the damaged bridge, which has been removed, was part of the wildlife trail.
“Stanley Park is trying to replace the bridge to reestablish the trail,” Levesque said. “There are a number of resource areas in the scope of work, so we came up with an innovative idea: a floatable bridge.” Levesque said the bridge, which can be removed, is installed in interlocking sections. “The idea is to have small removable sections which can be taken out of the water in an emergency, such as a flood, and seasonally,” Levesque said. “Because it floats on the water, it displaces a minor amount of water and creates a minimal disturbance.” The bridge sections are supported on pilings that screw together and can also
be removed to eliminate obstructions to the flow of water. The pilings also have stops to prevent the floatable bridge from grounding in periods of low water. Conservation Coordinator Karen Leigh said “given the removable nature of the bridge, it will have no permanent environmental impact” on the surrounding resource areas. The bridge is located at the end of the riverside boardwalk and provides access to trails located between branches of Little River. Normally several of the branches are dry and can be crossed on foot, but fill rapidly when water is released at Cobble Mountain Reservoir See Stanley Park, Page 3
Brazen burglar bagged WESTFIELD – A city man was arrested yesterday morning on charges of unarmed burglary and larceny under $250. Daniel Loomis, 24, formerly of 37 Blacksmith Road, Wilbraham, now of 42 Arnold Street, was placed under arrest at 3:13 a.m. Tuesday after police received a call from a Franklin Street woman who said she was awakened in bed by someone reaching over her body and into her purse. The victim said that the person promptly grabbed a black backpack and left the residence when she awoke, and that the robber had bushy brown hair, was wearing a black t-shirt and possibly blue jeans, along with the backpack. Soon after, Officer Jared Rowe encountered a man who fit the description described by the victim on Franklin Street, while Officer Jason Perron proceeded to bring the victim to Rowe’s location to identify the man, who turned out to be Daniel Loomis. Officers searched Loomis’ backpack and discovered an item belonging to the victim, and promptly placed him under arrest on charges of unarmed burglary and larceny under $250. He was then taken to the Westfield Police Station and booked.
Russell man arraigned for drugs By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD - The patron of an East Main Street restaurant who was arrested Monday evening on drug charges was arraigned yesterday in Westfield District Court. Kyle Schott, 20, of 40 Laurel Drive, Russell, was arrested shortly before 10 p.m. on Monday at the East Main Street Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant after police received a call from the manager of the restaurant about a suspicious white male in the parking lot who had entered the building five or six times but ordered food only once. In a court document, Officer Michael Csekovsky said he arrived to find Schott in a silver Pontiac and walked up alongside the vehicle to speak with him. Csekovsky stated that he noticed a metal pipe in the car’s front seat along with a black watch cap which contained several folded up pieces of See Russell Man, Page 7

Massachusetts licenses spurned by feds BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts residents are finding that their state driver’s license is no longer good enough to use as an ID to gain access to some federal facilities. That’s because Massachusetts is one of nine states that has not fully complied or sought an extension to comply with a federal law called REAL ID, which requires states to verify citizenship and update security standards when issuing licenses. The Department of Homeland Security, which delayed enforcement of the 2005 law for years, started a gradual implementation in April. Last month, the law was expanded to restricted areas in federal buildings and nuclear power plants. In January, it applies to most federal buildings where
ID is required. Unless the state participates in the law, Massachusetts residents without other identification will find themselves banned from commercial flights as soon as 2016. Noncompliant states face no direct penalty other than inconvenience for their citizens. Susan Podziba, a public policy mediator from Brookline, told The Boston Globe she found herself unable to access the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration earlier this month, forcing her to hold a meeting in a cafeteria outside the security gate. “It was like wow, I am a U.S. citizen and suddenly my Massachusetts ID isn’t good enough?” she said. Massachusetts, like some other states, has applied for an extension, said Cyndi
Whalley Park
Roy Gonzalez, a spokeswoman for the Massachusetts Department of Transportation. “DHS is asking the states to do something radically different with their licensing systems,” she said. “We want to make sure we do it right and do it well.” The 2005 law stems from recommendations by the 9/11 Commission. Several of the 9/11 hijackers used driver’s licenses to board. Critics say the law doesn’t achieve much, is costly to implement and raises privacy concerns. “For any American citizen, they should find this whole program completely laughable and ridiculous,” Maine Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap said. Maine is one of the other noncompliant states.

The Whalley Park sign on the stone wall at the entrance is also lighted manually. Call said that while the park is not finished, there is progress being made. “Things are getting done in a timely way,” he said. Call also mentioned that he spoke with Quality Plumbing to discuss plumbing needs in the four buildings at the park, and received an invoice from Down Under Irrigation. He also updated the group on a new state requirement regarding payroll for contractors.
“They have to report weekly on their payroll,” said Call, noting that the names of employees, their hours, and pay must be listed. “I’m not saying what they did before was wrong, but the state is looking for some sort of consistency.” Call said the punch list of items was progressing. “We’re making headway,” he said. “We’re getting things done.” Chairman Kelly Magni said the items discussed were not part of the original budget for the work left for the town once it took control of the park but the commission would be able to absorb the costs. “Within our budget we will be able to complete the task at hand,” he said.

Commissioner Thomas Sharp commended the park administration for its efforts to protect the park environment and to provide residents access to the entire park facilities, including the nature preserve. “Stanley Park is a jewel for the city,” Sharp said. “All of its projects are first rate.”

Is it me or are people in Westfield getting friendlier?. Today I held the door open for a lady at the Post office and believe it or not she didn’t give that look like I just insulted her dog and said “thank you very much”. Then when I pulled onto out E. Silver street somebody actually let me go in front of them at the light. The other day I even saw a few people use their turn signals. It must be all the sunshine. I like it.

The season’s most bizarre political ads By Daniel Lippman Politico.com A monkey, some hungry alligators, a bullet-ridden television set and the Ebola virus. These are the stars of some of the season’s political ads, grabbing eyeballs and raising eyebrows all while trying to make a broader point. “The goal is to get attention,” said veteran GOP ad-maker Fred Davis, whose own famous spots include the demon sheep ad for Carly Fiorina. “It’s to take a dollar and stretch it to $2 or $3 because people talk about it.” The danger with some of the ads is that the candidate can come across as ridiculous or as having poor taste. But the other alternative — boring ads that people forget — could end up being a waste of resources. With the post-Labor Day sprint looming, expect to see more such unusual spots. In the meantime, here are some notable ones so far: Shooting a TV In an ad released Tuesday, GOP Senate candidate Dan Sullivan decries the millions of dollars in negative advertising “flooding into Alaska paid for by Washington special interests” and says “pretty soon you’re going to want to do this to your TV.” Sullivan, in a field of grass with snow-peaked mountains in the background, then pulls out a gun and fires two shots at a television, shattering its screen. The plaid-shirt-wearing politician goes on to criticize his opponent, Democratic Sen. Mark Begich, for not joining an “Alaska Agreement” to stem the outside money. The ad could help rile up the Republican base for Sullivan in a state where guns and hunting are favorite pastimes. It also could counter at least some of the effects of the several million dollars that Democratic group Put Alaska First (funded mostly by Senate Majority PAC) has spent against him. The dancing insurance execs Democratic House candidate Mike Obermueller of Minnesota put out an ad in mid-May that showed people playing insurance executives celebrating the position on Obamacare taken by his opponent, GOP Rep. John Kline. The “executives” dance wildly to pop music, party with champagne bottles and throw money up into the air in a corporate meeting room. “To insurance executives, John Kline is music to their ears because if Congress repeals Obamacare, insurance companies will go back to charging whatever they want,” the narrator says. The ad later shows Obermueller saying: “I’ll never get played by the insurance industry.” The ad is somewhat unusual in the sense that it’s essentially a defense of the the president’s health care law, which Republicans have repeatedly blasted in races nationwide. But Obermueller is also running in a swing district, and it could help him turn out the Democratic base there. He told POLITICO that “Republicans have had the microphone on this issue for far too long” and Democrats have to stand up for Obamacare. The alligators analogy Louisiana GOP Senate candidate Rob Maness released an ad in May that’s full of alligators — hungry, biting ones that apparently want to eat up your tax dollars. “One moment of weakness and the alligators can eat you alive,” Maness says amid shots of alligators snapping their jaws. The candidate promises he’ll stand up to Washington “and alligators” as he proceeds to wrap up one of the reptile’s jaws. The ad’s point about government spending is red meat for the conservative grass roots, but Maness’ team says it also managed to raise his profile. Spokesman Jon Meadows says people now come up to the candidate and say, “Hey! You’re the gator guy!” The campaign also “saw an increase in small $50-andunder donations after the ad,” Meadows said. An injection of Ebola Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor of Arkansas launched an ad Tuesday charging that his GOP opponent, Tom Cotton, “voted against preparing America for pandemics like Ebola” because he has sided with cutting funding from medical disaster and emergency programs. Ebola hasn’t hit the U.S., and, as of now, Arkansas residents don’t have much to fear from the disease, but the ad is nonetheless an attention-grabber in a key Senate race and suggests that Cotton doesn’t think about the consequences of his votes. Asked whether the ad was a bit hyperbolic, Pryor’s campaign insisted it was about a very serious issue. It also pointed to an ad Cotton ran last year that used geese throughout most of the commercial and one the Club for Growth ran on Cotton’s behalf that ended with a parrot pooping on the front page of The New York Times. Monkey on the shoulder The National Republican Congressional Committee’s ad against Democratic Rep. John Barrow of Georgia uses a monkey to drive home its point. A female narrator (with the monkey on her shoulder) says See Political Ads, Page 8
Déjà vu for Barack Obama in Syria By Jeremy Herb and Philip Ewing Politico.com Barack Obama has a bad case of Syria déjà vu. Nearly one year after he stood at the brink of ordering military action against Syria — but said he’d only step across if Congress agreed — the president finds himself in an eerily similar situation. Then, as now, the world has been horrified by violence in the region. Then, as now, the drumbeat of increased military operations has grown louder. And then, as now, a president whose political rise was partly defined by his opposition to interventions abroad must decide whether to escalate American involvement, either on his own or with permission from Congress. So Obama is once again stuck on a national security crisis: worried about political support on Capitol Hill for a vote on intervention and held back by his own visceral resistance to unilateral military action. The White House, for the record, says this is not the same dilemma Obama faced last Labor Day. “The goal of the mission from last year was aimed squarely at the [Bashar] Assad regime,” said White House press secretary Josh Earnest. “The situation a year later is markedly different.” Last year, the White House argues, the question was whether the U.S. should put its combat boot onto the scales of the Syrian civil war, tipping them in favor of moderate fighters in their struggle against Assad, Syria’s president. Now, the question is whether the U.S. should expand to Syria its current operations in Iraq against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, which Pentagon and other leaders warn is an ever-growing threat to the U.S. “They can be contained. Not in perpetuity,” said Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey. “This is an organization that has an apocalyptic, end-of-days strategic vision and which will eventually have to be defeated. … Can they be defeated without addressing that part of their organization which resides in Syria? The answer is no. That will have to be addressed on both sides of what is essentially at this point a nonexistent border.” Already, military surveillance flights over Syria have begun, according to reports on Tuesday, enabling commanders to get a real-time picture of what’s happening on the ground and select potential targets if they get the order. Members of Congress are feeling déjà vu of their own — now, like last year, they are worried about the prospect of a tough vote to authorize an attack in Syria. Defense advocates already complain that Obama has done nothing to sell his plan to arm and train vetted Syrian rebels, and even some of his own allies worry he will put in a similarly lackluster effort if he decides to order an attack sooner. “I urge the administration to use the next two weeks to clearly define the strategy and objectives of its mission against ISIL, then bring it to Congress for a debate and authorization vote,” said Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia. “I have long stressed that Congress must formally approve the initiation of significant military action — it is what the framers of the
Constitution intended, and Congress and the executive have a responsibility to do the hard work to build a political consensus in support of our military mission.” Like last year, Republican defense hawks have repeatedly urged Obama to do more militarily and have lambasted the White House for not taking strong enough action — even after Obama authorized airstrikes in Iraq. “The president is becoming derelict in his duties as commander in chief to protect our homeland by not aggressively confronting ISIL wherever they reside, including Syria,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said in a statement. But even as hawks call for more action and doves press for congressional authorization first, the response from lawmakers is more muted this time around, despite the gruesome beheading of American journalist James Foley. Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) said there is a “collective horror and outrage” in Congress toward ISIL, also known as ISIS, but he’s skeptical about U.S. airstrikes in Syria. He said he’s concerned they would draw the U.S. into the middle of the ongoing civil war. “If there’s going to be significant military action, Congress has to vote on it,” Welch said in an interview. “The American people don’t want us in another war in the Middle East. They’re horrified by what ISIS did, but they’re skeptical that anything close to boots on the ground is going to resolve the situation favorably.” Other allies have argued the president should definitely not go to Congress — Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) warned that Republicans would turn any potential bill into a feeding frenzy. See Syria, Page 8

1 dead, another injured in shootings HOLYOKE, Mass. (AP) — Police say the early morning shootings of two men in Holyoke appear to be connected. Officers first responded to an area outside a cafe on South Bridge Street at about 1 a.m. Tuesday where they found a 25-year-old Chicopee man who had been shot several times. He was taken to Baystate Medical Center in Springfield. Chief James Neiswanger (NICE’-wong-er) says the man’s injuries do not appear life threatening. Just minutes later police responded to a van crash on Hamilton Street just a couple of blocks away. The driver, a 31-year-old Springfield man, was dead. He had been shot. No names were released and there was no word on arrests.

Court upholds mayhem conviction in ear-biting case BOSTON (AP) — The Massachusetts Appeals Court on Tuesday refused to throw out the mayhem conviction of a Springfield man who bit off part of a youth basketball coach’s ear. Timothy Forbes was sentenced to up to four years in jail after being found guilty of mayhem and assault and battery causing serious bodily injury. Prosecutors said Forbes attacked the coach of the team his two sons were playing against after a championship game in 2012. Forbes’ sons were on the losing team. After the game, Forbes began to kick and throw punches at Feliciano, who backpedalled away from Forbes. With
one-half centimeters.” Forbes “spat out the severed piece of ear on the floor” and ran out of the gym. In his appeal, Forbes argued that he didn’t act with “malicious intent to maim or disfigure,” as required under the mayhem law. The Appeals Court rejected that argument, finding that “a jury might well have wondered how he could have bitten off a large portion of Feliciano’s ear without maliciously intending to maim or disfigure him.” The court did overturn Forbes’ assault and battery conviction, finding that it was duplicative of the mayhem conviction.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — Smith & Wesson is reporting lower sales for the most recent quarter due mostly to falling demand for rifles. The Springfield-based gun maker announced that sales for the quarter were $131.9 million, a decrease of $39.2 million from the same quarter time last year. Long guns, including modern sporting rifles, drove 87 percent of the first quarter decline. Smith & Wesson also announced net income for the quarter was $14.56 million, down from $26.4 million in the year-ago quarter. Gun sales increased in 2012 and early 2013 after high-profile shootings that raised fears of increased gun control regulations, which for the most part, never materialized. CEO James Debney said high inventories of guns across the industry result from dealers restocking after that earlier surge in buying.

A group of people, including Feliciano’s wife, attempted to pull Forbes off Feliciano. “It was at this point that Feliciano felt the defendant’s teeth clamp onto his left ear and then heard a ‘crunching’ sound as a portion of the ear was ripped off,” the court said in its ruling. “In this manner, the defendant bit off a large piece of Feliciano’s ear, later measured to be four centimeters by two and

Banishing the blues with healthy blueberry muffins
California firm recalls Caesar salad kits CORONA, Calif. (AP) — A Southern California food company has recalled nearly 93,000 pounds of fully cooked chicken Caesar salad kits sold at Sam’s Club stores over concerns of possible listeria contamination. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service says the Daily Chef salad kits were shipped to the warehouse chain for sale in its in-store cafes nationwide. The affected products by Corona’s APPA Fine Foods come in 11-ounce clear plastic containers with use-by dates through Sept. 17. The USDA and the company have received no reports of illnesses associated with consumption of these products. People who consume food contaminated with listeria are at risk of getting listeriosis, which can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion and convulsions.
Annual tomato battle leaves Spanish town red By ALBERTO SAIZ Associated Press BUNOL, Spain (AP) — The streets of an eastern Spanish town are awash with red pulp as thousands of people pelt each other with tomatoes in the annual “Tomatina” battle that has become a major tourist attraction. At the annual fiesta in Bunol on Wednesday, trucks dumped 125 tons of ripe tomatoes for some 22,000 participants —many from abroad — to throw during the hour-long morning festivities. This was the second year non-resident participants were charged — 10 euros ($13) — to take part. The town of about 20,000 people began charging to help pay off debts of some 5.5 million euros. The event was sold out weeks ahead. The event was inspired by a food fight between local children in 1945 in the tomato-producing region.

FDA investigating large Maine lobster processor PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — One of Maine’s major lobster processors says it has addressed a battery of violations brought forth by the Food and Drug Administration. The FDA says it has not yet cleared Rocklandbased Linda Bean of violations. The FDA in February sent a letter citing the firm for “significant violations” in the way it processed seafood. Company owner and namesake Linda Bean says she has “addressed everything” and the FDA’s letter of violations was “reasonable.” Bean says the company also improved its record keeping to show the FDA that safe cooking and cooling temperature levels are being met. An FDA spokeswoman declined to comment on whether the FDA believes Linda Bean’s corrections are adequate. She says the agency’s review of the corrections is part of the investigation.

Continued from Page 1 tin foil, which he suspected contained either heroin or crack cocaine. The officer asked Schott if he had any other illegal drugs in the vehicle, at which time Schott admitted that the folded pieces of tin foil contained heroin and that he didn’t have any other substances with him. Csekovsky then unfolded the tin foil and found burnt material and several pieces of what was later tested and confirmed to be heroin. Upon further inspection, officers discovered an empty package of the prescription medication Suboxone. A controlled substance containing buprenorphine, Suboxone is used to treat dependence of opiate narcotics like heroin. It also contains naloxone, a key component in the drug Narcan, an opiod antagonist used to stop opiate overdoses. Officers found a white container with three unused Suboxone strips which Schott told officers he did not have a prescription for. After searching the rest of the vehicle, officers found a backpack which contained a knife with brass knuckles attached to its handle. Schott was then arrested and taken into police custody. Following his arraignment yesterday, Schott was released on his own personal recognizance and is due back in court November 5.

This Jan. 31, 2013 file photo shows cook James Howard mixing sauce with chicken wings at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, N.Y. The Anchor Bar is credited with inventing “Buffalo style” wings 50 years ago, but it’s only one of a number of eateries in the Buffalo area that services the famous dish these days. (AP Photo/The Buffalo News, Mark Mulville, file)
Go For the Food: Buffalo, New York’s chicken wings By CAROLYN THOMPSON Associated Press BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Credit for the classic Buffalo wing goes to Teressa Bellissimo, who developed the dish in the kitchen of the Anchor Bar in 1964. Fifty years later, the Main Street eatery remains a must-see for countless culinary visitors. But there’s no need to confine yourself to one place if you’re winging your way to New York’s second-largest city; the fiery finger food is a staple at virtually every pizza joint and pub you’ll visit. The fun is that no two wings are quite the same. Anchor Bar wings sizzle in the deep fryer until crispy. They they’re tossed in a bowl with a mixture of butter and cayenne pepper sauce — Frank’s RedHot is the preferred brand — just before they are served alongside celery sticks and blue cheese dressing for dipping. “They’re the original, that’s the bottom line,” said Drew Cerza, who was proclaimed Buffalo’s “wing king” after starting the wing festival in 2002. A trip to Duff’s Famous Wings in suburban Amherst offers a different twist on the classic. While the Anchor Bar serves up a crispy wing, Duff’s offers a softer, saucier version. “They cover the wings after they sauce them and it really allows the sauce to penetrate the skin of the wing,” Cerza said. Watch out for the heat here: “The mild is medium, medium’s hot, hot’s extra hot and extra hot,” said Cerza, “will kill you.” Another option, where attention to detail is the theme, comes from the Bar Bill Tavern, just south of Buffalo in East Aurora. The secret here — the sauce is applied to every deep-fried wing individually with a paint brush just before serving. “They never go in a bucket,” explained bar manager Joe Morcelle. “When you start shaking wings, it starts breaking up the crispiness.” The individual treatment also ensures the sauce gets into every nook and cranny, Morcelle said. And while most places pile the wings on a plate, the Bar Bill arranges them precisely this way: the five drums on the left, five flats on the right, fanned out to form a circle with the celery and blue cheese in the middle. “You eat with your eyes,” Morcelle said (though you’ll still need plenty of napkins for your fingers). Circling back to the city, another of the “wing king’s” favorites is found at La Nova Pizzeria, which has perfected a barbecue wing cooked over charcoal, complete with grill marks. “They put them on the grill but they keep moving them,” Cerza said. “You’ve got to keep moving them and you can’t burn them. It’s very tricky. It’s an art.” The city also hosts a National Buffalo Wing Festival every Labor Day weekend. The event took its inspiration from the silver screen: When Bill Murray’s character in the 2001 movie “Osmosis Jones” set out for the National Buffalo Wing Festival — there was no such thing in real life. The festival doesn’t confine its offerings to the usual. Along with the traditional hot, medium and mild varieties, past offerings have included lime cilantro and chipotle garlic wings, and even a meatless alternative featuring hummus dip and breaded green beans. A couple of rules if it’s a true “Buffalo wing” (and not simply chicken wings) you want: They must be deep-fried, not baked or grilled, have at least a few shakes of hot sauce — and for goodness sake, no breading. Warns Cerza: “In Buffalo, if you get caught breading a chicken wing it’s a misdemeanor.”
By SARA MOULTON Associated Press Ripe, plentiful blueberries are such a highlight of summer that some of us are prone to getting the blueberry blues during the rest of the year. Happily, imported and frozen blueberries make it easy to enjoy them all the time. In fact, if you’re really on your game, you can pick extra now and freeze them for later. And when later comes around, those frozen handpicked berries make for some pretty awesome muffins. But before you get out the muffin pan, let’s tackle some of the issues we often run into when making muffins. Typically, the batter is made with white flour and a ton of fat and sugar. It’s a delicious combination, but one that makes blueberry muffins more an indulgence than a healthy choice. It was easy to swap some of the white flour with whole wheat, but I also added oat flour to the mix. I worried oat flour might be hard to find, but that’s when I discovered that making your own easy; just pulverize the oats in a blender until smooth. I loved what the oats brought to the recipe besides lots of fiber and nutrients, principally a sweeter and heartier flavor than wheat flour. They also made the muffins moister. Thanks to the mashed banana, which contributed moisture of its own, this recipe for a dozen muffins required only 3 tablespoons of butter. Just make sure the banana is very ripe to get the most out of its flavor and natural sugars. I also substituted low-fat — and big-flavored — buttermilk for the full-fat milk usually called for. Finally, I jacked up the pleasure quotient by adding lemon and cinnamon — which always pair up beautifully with blueberries — and conjured some crunch by topping the muffins with a little extra sugar. Considering that this recipe requires only 25 minutes of hands-on time, you might frequently find yourself whipping up batches of blueberry muffins in the dead of winter. They are sure to banish those blueberry blues. HEARTY BLUEBERRY-BANANA MUFFINS Start to finish: 50 minutes (25 minutes active) Makes 12 muffins 1 cup oat flour (made by pulverizing 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons old fashioned oatmeal in a blender or processor until smooth) 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided 1/2 cup white whole-wheat flour 1/3 cup packed brown sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon table salt 2 teaspoons lemon zest 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 small very ripe banana, mashed (about 1/4 cup) 3/4 cup buttermilk 1 large egg, lightly beaten 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 1 1/4 cups frozen blueberries 2 tablespoons granulated sugar Heat the oven to 350 F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or coat it with baking spray. In a large bowl, combine the oat flour, 3/4 cup of the all-purpose flour, the white whole-wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, lemon zest and cinnamon. In a medium bowl, combine the banana with the buttermilk, egg and butter. Mix well. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until they are just combined. In a medium bowl toss the blueberries with the remaining 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, then transfer them to a strainer and shake off the excess flour. Add the blueberries to the batter and gently fold them in. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan. The batter should be slightly mounded above the edge. Sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly over the tops of the batter, then bake the muffins on the oven’s middle shelf for 20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted at the center of the muffins comes out clean. Let the muffins rest, in the pan, for 5 minutes before serving.

The Monday spot also shows lots of chaos abroad, such as images of militants brandishing guns and a fireball of an explosion, contrasted against shots of the president golfing, dancing in the White House and strolling on his vacations. The video seems to attack Obama more harshly than Democratic Sen. Tom Udall, who it also shows as saying that “this diplomatic path that we’re on is a good one.” It could also backfire because it appears to score political points off the brutal killing of an American. Regardless, it certainly got lots of attention from the national media, who had previously shown little interest in Weh’s campaign.

“I think it’s different,” Cohen said on CNN on Tuesday. “I support the president’s action, and I see no reason to come to Congress. Because if he does, it will just become a circus. Congress is dysfunctional, and no matter what the president does, Republicans will oppose it and find reason to find fault.” Even some of the lawmakers most skeptical about using U.S. military force in the Middle East say the Islamic State poses a significant danger. “ISIS is a threat — it’s a dangerous organization, it’s a terrorist organization,” Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), the lone lawmaker to vote against the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force, said on MSNBC. “We need to be in Washington, D.C., talking about the pros and cons and talking about what options are available for the president.” So far, congressional leaders have not indicated they plan to bring forward any authorization measures, including for the ongoing airstrikes in Iraq, which show no sign of slowing. The Obama administration has notified Congress of its intentions under the War Powers Resolution but has not suggested it would seek action before the legislation’s 60-day window is reached. Republicans pounced on Obama after he ordered the 2011 military intervention in Libya, and later after the exchange of top Taliban prisoners for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, because critics said the president kept Congress in the dark. But Pentagon press secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby pointed out Tuesday that Obama has sent several War Powers Resolution notifications to the Hill and kept its leaders briefed. “There’s been a concerted effort to keep Congress informed,” Kirby said. Another key change between the present and past Syria dilemmas is the immediacy of the danger. Last year, the risk was that Assad would continue to use chemical weapons to kill his own people in large numbers. Today, the danger is that ISIL will gather strength in Syria and Iraq and be able to launch major terrorist attacks against Europe and the U.S. “The threat is significantly different this time around,” said retired Lt. Gen. Dave Barno, now a senior fellow with the Center for a New American Security. “A year ago, we were dealing with essentially an international reaction to the use of chemical weapons, … which was horrible and terrible but a much more indirect type of threat. This is shaping up to be a much more direct threat — although that’s open for debate.” Burgess Everett contributed to this report.

Market Basket worker files federal labor complaint LOWELL, Mass. (AP) — An employee of supermarket chain Market Basket has filed a federal complaint against the company for threatening to fire protesting workers. Lowell resident Karen Bostwick says in her complaint filed with the National Labor Relations Board office in Boston that Market Basket is “violating the right to picket and strike” and threatening to fire protesting employees “created a “hostile work environment.” Bostwick works at the company’s Tewksbury headquarters. Thousands of the 71-store chain’s workers have walked off the job in an effort to have ousted CEO Arthur T. Demoulas reinstated. A spokesman for Market Basket said he could not comment because the company has not seen a copy of the complaint. Arthur T. Demoulas is close to completing a purchase of shares of the company owned by rival family members.
Ex-Hudson gun shop owner gets probation WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) — A former Hudson gun shop owner has been sentenced to three years of probation for selling dozens of firearms without a license. The MetroWest Daily News (http://bit.ly/1vlQeJH ) reports that 68-year-old Raymond Carrado was also ordered by a federal judge Tuesday forfeit $15,000. Carrado pleaded guilty in May. Prosecutors say Carrado, who owned K&R Target Sports, continued to sell firearms after surrendering his license in September 2010. Carrado sold 45 guns without a license over a six-month period in 2010 and 2011. Carrado surrendered his license after a former employee stole about 100 guns from the store and sold them on his own. Some ended up in the hands of a member of the Hells Angels. Carrado’s lawyer said his client was a law-abiding citizen who was “bamboozled” by the former employee.
When it comes to 21st century multimedia platforms, “hyper local” is a term you hear a lot. It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newpapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore. 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.

THE WESTFIELD NEWSSPORTS Passing the Torch New Westfield gymnastics coach looks to carry on winning tradition By JEFF HANOUILLE Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Bethany Liquori has some big shoes to fill. That’s because the new Westfield High School gymnastics head coach is taking over for the legendary Joanne Hewins, who over the last 20 years guided the Bombers to 11 sectional championships and an unbeaten streak of 125-0 that dates back to 2007. Hewins has become such a well-known name in high school sports that she was once featured in Sports Illustrated’s “Faces in the Crowd.” Enter Liquori, who has been an an assistant coach on Hewins’ squad since 2010 and is a former head coach at Gateway Regional High School and Hampshire Regional High School. “Hopefully I can carry the torch,”

(File photo/Fred Gore) Liquori said. “I think this year the biggest challenge I will face will be the pressure of continuing the winning streak and continuing the success this program has had under Joanne. We lost a lot of talented kids from last year, so that’s going to be a challenge. But we’ve got a couple new kids coming in and I think there’s no reason we can’t be successful again. The kids just have to work hard for it, just like they always have.” Hewins retired as head coach, but her presence will still be felt on the team this year. While she continues to teach third grade at Southampton Road Elementary School and is a coach at Westfield’s Roots Gymnastics, she will also serve as a volunteer on the WHS

gymnastics team. “Now that the season is starting, it really bothers me to not be the coach,” joked Hewins, who also accepted a position as Western Massachusetts Gymnastics Commissioner. “I feel like that’s my program. I’ve been sad and happy because it’s been such a huge part of my life. But Beth is perfectly capable of carrying on the same success with the program. I would not have left if I didn’t feel comfortable with her. I think she will do a fine job, and I’m convinced she will do great this year. If I wasn’t 100 percent positive about her, I wouldn’t have left in the first place.” Hewins, who coached Liquori when Liquori was younger, said
she told her former student to “be firm and have fun.” “She knows she can call me at any point if she needs advice,” Hewins said. “But I don’t see her having any problems. I think this program can continue to be a powerhouse.” Coming off its seventh consecutive sectional title, Westfield will look to earn its eighth straight championship trophy despite losing 14 seniors, including Taryn Hamel, who capped off a sensational season last year by winning seven AllAround competitions. Liquori said Kendall Neidig (sophomore), Mairead Hagan (freshman), Liz Walker (sophomore) and Sarah Hogan (senior) are names to watch for the Bombers
this season. Liquori added that while she feels the pressure of continuing the legacy Hewins left behind, she’s humbled that she gets to take over for someone she has looked up to her whole life. “I’m flattered that she’s leaving the team to me and she thinks I’m capable of handling it,” Liquori said. “She always had a great relationship with every gymnast on the team. She’s firm, but she’s like their mom and they’re like her children. I hope I can be as good as she’s been, in that way.” Westfield will begin practicing next week when school starts and will open the 2014 season Tuesday, September 30 at Chicopee Comprehensive.

Westfield State teachers-in-training travel to Costa Rica WESTFIELD – Seventeen Westfield State University students and two faculty members traveled to Costa Rica as part of the short term study abroad course “A Costa Rican Intercultural and Tropical Ecology Experience for Educators.” The course centered around providing early childhood, elementary, and special needs teaching candidates with the opportunity to better understand differences between teaching and learning within the context of and through engagement with another culture. Costa Rica is widely known for its abundance of different species; this particular Westfield State course encourages students to develop their own understanding of natural science including biodiversity, tropical habitats, and ecology. The course was led by Professor of Education Trudy Knowles, and Assistant Professor of Education Wilma Ortiz. The group traveled around Costa Rica including stops in La Fortuna, Monteverde, the Arenal Volcano, Manuel Antonio, and Rancho Margot. Ortiz said the students learned to appreciate things they took for granted

However, when they arrived, most of the public schools were closed because of a strike. Instead, the students visited with different schools than they had originally anticipated and adapted their lesson plans to fit the needs of the new schools. Ortiz said the last minute rearranging of the lesson plans was a useful workshop for future teachers. “This impromptu changed of plans was an incredible experience everyone got to appreciate after all, because future teachers need to be flexible, and ready to ‘hit the road running,’” Ortiz said. “Students were excited and nervous at the same time. They worked collaboratively and diligently.” The course aimed to break down language barriers, a task Morin said resonated with her. “I highly suggest to any teacher or future teacher to try it,” Morin said. “You will really understand what it’s like to be a language learner and confused, when you might have thought you knew everything. This course really made you feel what it is like for those students – confusing, inspiring, sometimes frustrating.” In addition to the goals laid out by the course description, Ortiz said the students came to some important realizations. “They learned how to care for each other; they got to know each other better and support each other more,” Ortiz said. “Also, the trip forced students to step outside of the comfort zone, and this was paramount.”

while visiting ecological sites, especially ones deep in the rainforest away from civilization. “Poco Sol Field Station was eye opening for the students because there was no hot water, no TV or Internet/phone access,” Ortiz said. “We were literally disconnected from the outside world, for two nights and three days.” Student Samantha Morin ’14 of Easthampton said at first the trip to Poco Sol Field was uncomfortable, but the group quickly adjusted and became transfixed with the rainforest. “The last day at Poco Sol, I don’t think any of us wanted to leave,” Morin said. “Where we used to fear going into the rainforest, we now looked forward to it. We all became, in my eyes, wild, and completely enamored with nature.” Despite traveling to a Spanish-speaking country, the course did not require students to take any prerequisite Spanish classes. Morin said she was drawn to the course because of the diversity aspect. “I liked the idea of teaching in a different country,” Morin said. “I just wanted to experience a new culture, try new things, and be completely out of my comfort zone.” In addition to ecological site visits, students visited local schools to teach lessons to nonEnglish speaking students. Prior to traveling, Westfield State students laid out lesson plans to teach public school children in Costa Rica.

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Verry Blessed, But Hurt Dear Annie: We are perplexed as to the actions of our grown children. We were not perfect parents, but consider ourselves to have been pretty good. Our kids grew up in a nice home where friends were welcome, and they were involved in church and extracurricular activities. Now that they have their own homes, my wife and I continue to help by babysitting and lending a hand when needed. But as we find ourselves aging and occasionally needing help from them, no help is forthcoming. Why? What makes adult children tune out the needs of aging parents? We feel hurt by their lack of caring. -- Confused Mom and Dad Dear Mom and Dad: Have you asked your children for specific help? Sometimes parents expect the children to know what they need, but the kids can be oblivious, assuming their parents are as competent and capable as they always have been. Also, some parents expect grown children with family obligations of their own to do chores that would consume every weekend, when the parents are perfectly able to hire someone to do these jobs. Kids resent this. Otherwise, please be direct. Say, “We are finding it difficult to change the light bulbs in our house because we are unsteady on the stepladder. Could you come by one day this week and take care of that for us? We’d truly appreciate it.” Most kids will step up when asked. Dear Annie: My 77-year-old grandmother is an incredibly caring and loving woman, and she expresses this through cooking. Granny cooks large meals every day, and if you’re around, there’s no chance to escape without eating at least one plateful. Dropping hints or saying you just ate, are on a diet or aren’t hungry doesn’t work. She says, “Eat it while it’s hot!” or “It’s not that filling,” and suddenly two more scoops of potato salad have appeared on your dish. I feel trapped. I don’t want to hurt her feelings, because I know she does it out of love and because when she was growing up there wasn’t always food in the house. But it’s no good gorging until I feel sick. It feels like she’s trying to feed me to death. Help! -- Stuffed in Pennsylvania Dear Stuffed: You are right that Granny shows love through food, and it also gives her pleasure to see you gorge. But no matter how much food Granny puts on your plate, you are not obligated to finish it. Practice saying “no” sweetly but more convincingly. Spend some time taking one bite and pushing food around on your plate, and then sit back and say, “I’m stuffed! I can’t eat one more thing.” She’ll insist. You’ll repeat. She’ll cajole. You’ll repeat. She’ll act hurt. You’ll repeat. Ask whether you could take the food home (where you can do with it whatever you like). Tell her you love her. Ask her to talk to you about her day. But under no circumstances do you have to eat everything she puts in front of you. Dear Annie: This is for “Mother in Iowa,” whose daughter falsely accused her of physical abuse. What a child interprets as physical abuse may be different from what Mom recognizes. My mother thought it was OK to pull down my panties and spank me with a paddle in front of my father. I am sure neither she nor my father considered that physical or sexual abuse, but I do. She also bit my finger so hard one time that the teeth marks lasted for days. While I bear the scars, I do not think of her as an abuser, because I am sure she felt her behavior was sanctioned by the Bible and by society. “Mother in Iowa” may think what she did was normal, while her daughter may view it differently. -Mostly Over It in Vermont Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
HINTS FROM HELOISE What’s In Worcestershire Sauce? Dear Readers: WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE is a staple in many kitchens, one of which is mine! I love the stuff and mix it with soy sauce or red-wine vinegar to use as a dip for egg rolls. Chances are there is a bottle in your kitchen. But how much do you really know about it? Which of the following is NOT an ingredient in regular (original) Worcestershire sauce? A) Tamarind extract B) Molasses C) Pepper D) Anchovies E) Garlic The answer is C, pepper! Tamarind extract, molasses, anchovies and garlic all are found in Worcestershire sauce. The tamarind extract comes from a fruit and is actually one of the ingredients that sets Worcestershire sauce apart from other sauces. -- Heloise STUFFED MUSHROOMS Dear Heloise: I read your hints daily in the (Waterbury, Conn.) Republican-American and find them really helpful, or there are some I already do and didn’t think they were good enough to share. Here’s one that I love, and it saves me a ton of time and mess: I use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop to fill mushrooms after I mix up my stuffing mixture. This results in perfectly mounded stuffed mushrooms every time! Yum! -- Laurie B. in Connecticut

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Aug. 27, 2014: This year you have the chance for a new beginning in a certain area of your life. You also will be completing the last leg of a 12-year luck cycle. You won’t want to bring any dysfunctional issues with you into this new life cycle. If you are single, you will have many potential suitors. Your personality will be highly attractive, but take your time getting to know each person. If you are attached, your significant other might feel insecure about your choices right now. Try to judge less and listen more. LIBRA enjoys understanding your motivations. 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) HHHH Your fuse is short right now, especially when it comes to any heartfelt projects. Your temper is likely to emerge. Hold on tight, because a bumpy road seems to be in front of you. A little selfdiscipline will go a long way. Tonight: Funnel your charged energy where it counts. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You will be taking a walk on the wild side if you are not careful. Dealing with certain people who are known to be hot-tempered could be a problem. Try not to get triggered because of someone else’s statement or insinuations. Tonight: Share a favorite spot with a loved one. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Your creativity comes through with your choice of words. You could trigger a family member beyond belief without even trying to. Be aware that friction seems to be present when dealing with anyone, anywhere -- at least in the daytime. Tonight: Take a midweek break. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You are likely to speak your mind, but know that you are likely to get a very strong reaction as a result. People might not be easygoing right now. Think through what you want to say, and perhaps postpone a conversation. Tonight: Buy a favorite dessert on the way home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Use care with your finances, and with any sort of commitment that could cost you time or money. Be open to a suggestion, but don’t finalize an agreement just yet. Think before you leap into action. Tonight: At a favorite haunt with favorite people. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You might not want to show your upset, but you won’t be able to help yourself. How you deal with someone and the choices you make could create even more of a problem. Opt for diplomacy, and you’ll be happier as a result. Listen to your gut. Tonight: Out late. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Not until mid-afternoon will you feel a change in the air. At that point, you will blossom and become irresistible. You will feel the difference, and you suddenly might be up for making plans and scheduling meetings. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You could be sorry that you made a decision involving a friend or a particular situation. You might be seeing some limitations. You will beam in much more of what you want later in the day. You won’t be able to bypass a discussion, no matter what. Tonight: Face the music. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Your temper could explode when you least expect it. You seem to have been holding in some anger for far too long. Review a situation to assess what might have triggered you. Ask yourself when it was that you first experienced that feeling. Tonight: Find your friends. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could be in trouble. You might have tried very hard to do the research necessary for a project, but a change of plans will create a problem. Listen to news with an open mind, because what you hear could change your direction with this endeavor. Tonight: In the limelight. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH A partner might give you an earful. You’ll need to have a discussion, as you can’t postpone it any longer. Take the time to sit down and finally clear up an ongoing issue. The right solution has yet to appear, but it will in time. Tonight: Make plans for the coming weekend. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Keep searching for a different opinion. You will hear many opinions today, but the issue will be sorting
Cryptoquip
Crosswords
through them and finding the right solution. Fortunately, it will be your call. Schedule an important meeting for later in the day. Tonight: Say “yes” to a dinner invitation.

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

But, day in and day out, The Westfield News provides consistant coverage of the stories you need to know about, that are important to your city, town, neighborhood and home.
