By DAN MORIARTY Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Planning Board will vote on a special permit petition to erect several signs, including internally illuminated signs, for Aaron’s retail store which is moving from East Main Street to 64 Main St., located at the intersection of Mechanic and Main streets. The location is on the eastern edge of the downtown CORE district and abuts a commercial area where the zoning regulations differ greatly. The Planning Board conducted and closed a hearing on the sign special permit and began their deliberation on that petition, coming to a general consensus that the signs are not consistent with the requirements of the CORE zoning. The original plan approved several months ago by the board showed designated areas for the building-mounted signs, but several members of the board took exception to the placement and size of those signs. Board member Carl Vincent said that he went to the business and found “that the wall sign is not where it was designated to be in the original plan.” Board member Jane Magarian questioned the petition for a ground sign.
On Saturday, Valley Green Shredding held one of theircharitable shredding events for the Westfield Chapter of “Dollars for Scholars.” Volunteers from Westfield High School and St.Mary’s High also assisted to make the event successful, raising $870 to beapplied to scholarships for Westfield students. Altogether, the chapter has raised $134,000 in scholarships to bepresented at a May 20th event to Westfield students for use at thecolleges of their choice. (Photo by Don Wielgus)

“The signs on the building are fairly large, yet you feel you need a ground sign,” Magarian asked petitioner Marc Hortie of Loomis Ridge Road. Hortie said that the signs are provided through I.D. Associates of Dothan, Alabama, by Aaron’s corporate entity, Aaron Inc., with its corporate office located in Atlanta, Georgia. Aaron’s lease to own is a nationwide franchise enterprise and claims on its corporate website to be “North America’s leader in the sales and lease ownership of household necessities – brand name furniture, appliances, electronics and computers.” Hortie said the illuminated pylon sign is needed to provide ”visibility at a dangerous intersection so patrons can see our location from a distance and have time to slow down safely. The lighted sign is for winter when it gets dark so early. Most signs in that neighborhood are lit interiorly. All of those stores have signs similar to what I’m looking for.” Planning Chairman Philip McEwan said that Hortie was looking in the wrong direction when he cited the commercial signs along that stretch of Main Street. “You’re right on the edge of the CORE district,” McEwan said. “You should be trying to make it look like stores in that district, not like signs in a different (zoning) district. Pole signs are not allowed in the CORE district.” “People renting appliances are either from town or do a computer search, so they know where you’re located,” McEwan said. Vincent said that not only are there several signs attached to the sides of the building, there See Sign Vote, Page 3
Northwest DA suspends breathalyzer results

Springtime Customer Thank You!
CHICOPEE (WWLP) – The Northwestern District Attorney’s office announced yesterday that breathalyzer results will not be used in their pending drunk driving cases. The decision comes after a state agency launched an investigation into the test’s reliability. As of right now, defendants in O.U.I cases out of Franklin and Hampshire Counties, as well as the town of Athol, will not have breathalyzer results used as evidence against them. In Essex and Middlesex counties, along with Cape Cod, prosecutors are looking at old cases for evidence of questionable breathalyzer results. Springfield Attorney Ryan Alekman, of the Alekman & DiTusa law firm said this doesn’t mean drunk drivers are off the hook. He says other evidence can be considered. “It could be bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, odor of alcohol on their breath, they’re unsteady on their feet,” he said. “Police can still conduct field sobriety tests, although their reliability is nowhere near what the breathalyzers is,” The Executive Office of Public Safety and Security is now reviewing breathalyzer tests. The office said it’s still unclear if there even is an issue with the tests. So, the efforts taken by prosecutors is out of extreme caution.

Thief sneaks ice cream cooler past sleeping store clerk OAKLAND PARK, Fla. (AP) — Deputies in Florida say a thief worked for 15 minutes to drag a cooler full of Good Humor ice cream past a sleeping clerk at a gas station near Fort Lauderdale. Surveillance cameras captured a man walking up to the Oakland Park store at 4:09 a.m. on April 2 to find the clerk sleeping. Authorities say the man opened the ice cream cooler, peered at the clerk, looked directly into the camera and flashed a middle finger. After a few minutes, he carefully pulled the $2,500 cooler through the store’s doors. Authorities arrested Dennis Norman on grand theft charges on April 22. He was released from jail on $1,000 bond. There was no phone number available for Norman.

n April 24, 1915, what’s regarded as the start of the Armenian genocide began as the Ottoman Empire rounded up Armenian political and cultural leaders in Constantinople.
ON THIS DATE: In 1792, the national anthem of France, “La Marseillaise”, was composed by Captain Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle. In 1800, Congress approved a bill establishing the Library of Congress. In 1898, Spain declared war on the United States. (The United States responded in kind the next day.) In 1916, some 1,600 Irish nationalists launched the Easter Rising by seizing several key sites in Dublin. (The rising was put down by British forces almost a week later.) In 1932, in the Free State of Prussia, the Nazi Party gained a plurality of seats in parliamentary elections. In 1953, British statesman Winston Churchill was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. In 1962, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology achieved the first satellite relay of a television signal, using NASA’s Echo 1 balloon satellite to bounce a video image from Camp Parks, California, to Westford, Massachusetts. In 1970, the People’s Republic of China launched its first satellite, which kept transmitting a song, “The East Is Red.” In 1980, the United States launched an unsuccessful attempt to free the American hostages in Iran, a mission that resulted
in the deaths of eight U.S. servicemen. In 1986, Wallis, Duchess of Windsor, for whom King Edward VIII had given up the British throne, died in Paris at age 89. In 1990, the space shuttle Discovery blasted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, carrying the $1.5 billion Hubble Space Telescope. In 1995, the final bomb linked to the Unabomber exploded inside the Sacramento, California, offices of a lobbying group for the wood products industry, killing chief lobbyist Gilbert B. Murray. (Theodore Kaczynski was later sentenced to four lifetimes in prison for a series of bombings that killed three men and injured 29 others.)
TEN YEARS AGO: Pope Benedict XVI formally began his stewardship of the Roman Catholic Church; the former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger said in his installation homily that as pontiff he would listen to the will of God in governing the world’s 1.1 billion Catholics. South Korean scientists succeeded in cloning a dog as an Afghan hound puppy named “Snuppy” was born. Former Israeli president Ezer Weizman died in Caesarea, Israel, at age 80.
FIVE YEARS AGO: The policy-setting panel of the International Monetary Fund, with a nervous eye on Greece, pledged during a meeting in Washington to address the risks posed to the global recovery from high government debt. A dozen people were killed by a tornado system that bumped down in Louisiana before plowing into Mississippi and then Alabama. Etiquette expert Elizabeth Post (granddaughter-in-law of Emily Post) died in Naples, Florida, at 89.
ONE YEAR AGO:
An Afghan government security guard opened fire on foreign doctors at a Kabul hospital, killing three Americans in the latest of a deadly string of attacks on Western civilians in the capital. The tiny Pacific nation of the Marshall Islands took on the United States and the world’s eight other nuclear-armed nations with an unprecedented lawsuit demanding they meet their obligations toward disarmament and accusing them of “flagrant violations” of international law.

Wartel said that the company participated in 18 events for charity this past year, and expects to double that number by next spring with the addition of a second truck which houses the shredding equipment. Wartel said the events are strictly a charitable piece of the business. “We donate services,” he said. “It’s nice to have a nomination for the business ethics side of it, to have that recognition that we’re doing the right thing.” Western MA Torch Award finalists are selected from hundreds of nominations following a rigorous judging process. All entries are evaluated by an independent panel of judges based on: commitment to their customers, commitment to their employees, reputation in the business industry and commitment to the communities they do business in. “The judges always have difficult decisions to make when narrowing down the list of the outstanding entries to a few finalists,” Cahalen said. Of the nine finalists, three awards will be given in three different categories.

Prosecution rests in penalty phase of Boston bomber’s trial By DENISE LAVOIE AP Legal Affairs Writer BOSTON (AP) — A video played yesterday at the trial of Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev showed a mother crouched over her 8-year-old son as he lay dying on the sidewalk, a scene prosecutors hoped would linger in jurors’ minds while they determine whether Tsarnaev lives or dies. Prosecutors rested their case after playing the video during the testimony of a man who lost his leg in the bombings, and jurors watched as the mother pleaded with her little boy. “I heard ‘please’ and ‘Martin’ being uttered by Denise Richard,” said Steve Woolfenden, who was lying on the pavement next to Martin and his mother after the second bomb exploded. “Just pleading with her son.” The boy bled to death. Prosecutors presented the testimony and searing images to give the jury one last reminder of the brutality and heartbreaking consequences of the bombings before the defense begins to present its case next week. Prosecutors argue Tsarnaev, now 21, deserves to be executed for his crimes, while his lawyers say his life should be spared because his late older brother, Tamerlan, was the mastermind of the attack. Woolfenden’s left leg was sheared off below the knee. He described frantically trying to get his 3-year-old son,
Leo, out of his stroller after he heard him screaming and saw he was bleeding from the side of his head. As he lay helpless on the pavement, he spotted Martin and Denise Richard. “I saw Martin’s face,” Woolfenden said. “I could see a boy that was, looked like he was fatally injured.” Three people were killed and more than 260 others were wounded when the bombs exploded near the finish line of the marathon on April 15, 2013. Tsarnaev was convicted this month of all 30 charges against him. The jury that found him guilty must decide whether to sentence him to life in prison or to death. Also yesterday, several relatives of Tsarnaev, who’s originally from Kyrgyzstan, flew into Boston, according to a law enforcement official who wasn’t authorized to release that information and spoke on the condition of anonymity. Tsarnaev’s mother, who faces a 2012 shoplifting charge in a Boston suburb, was not among them, the official said. Tsarnaev’s lawyers are scheduled to begin presenting their witnesses on Monday, and some of his relatives may be called to the stand. Woolfenden described the
terror he felt as he tried to help his son while trying to stanch blood pouring from his own leg. “I took off my belt, and I applied it on my thigh as tight as I possibly could,” he said. “Leo was crying and screaming uncontrollably. He was saying, ‘Mommy, Daddy, Mommy, Daddy, Mommy, Daddy, Mommy, Daddy, Mommy, Daddy.’”

COMMENT
It’s heartening to see Erika took my Pulseline suggestion and enrolled in the Citizen’s Police Academy. Maybe her uneducated, anti law enforcement diatribes will cease now. Next she should take the class required to apply for her License to Carry Class A and understand the power and responsibility associated with owning and using firearms. I was really looking forward to visiting the Green on a summer’s day and sitting in the shade of the new Gazebo, watching the world go by. A gazebo on a green is a wonderful New England tradition. But….why are there doors – that appear to be closed and locked? Does this mean that the gazebo will only be open for “events” and, for the rest of the time, it will be an unwelcoming, dead spot on the Green. Please, someone. Tell me this is not true! Response from Mayor Knapik: The Pavilion is still under construction including the electrical and finish work on the inside. As such, it is not open to the public. When it is complete, the plan is to have the door systems removed for the warm weather and reinstalled in the fall for the winter. Dear Don Humason, I would like to thank you publicly for taking the time to help out a friend. They were very pleasantly surprised with your response. – Your Yahoo writer.

Senate confirms Lynch as attorney general By SEUNG MIN KIM Politico.com The Senate confirmed Loretta Lynch to be the next U.S. attorney general on Thursday, ending months of acrimonious debate and installing a black woman as the nation’s top law enforcement official for the first time in history. Lynch’s nearly six-month nomination drama was fraught with controversy — mostly unrelated to the veteran federal prosecutor from Brooklyn or her track record. Few, if any, senators challenged Lynch’s qualifications, but her legal endorsement of President Barack Obama’s executive actions on immigration triggered a wave of Republican opposition. Moreover, the lengthy delay between her nomination and eventual 56-43 confirmation vote — a delay prompted by a Senatecreated drama over a human-trafficking bill — stoked allegations
Coalition to lower energy costs Statement on New England Governors’ Meeting, April 23, 2015 HARTFORD — The New England Governor’s collaboration to increase natural gas pipeline capacity reflects the broad consensus that a highly constrained natural gas pipeline system raises our region’s natural gas and electricity prices to unacceptable levels, creating an unfair multi-billion-dollar annual “energy tax.” Increasing pipeline capacity into the region is the solution to eliminating this tax, while laying the groundwork to transition New England towards a future of increased renewable energy. The Coalition for Lower Energy Costs (CLEC) supports the Governors’ initiative and applauds efforts to regionally coordinate a response to the multi-billion dollar energy tax that every New England consumer pays each year. Recognizing the findings of more than 25 comprehensive studies, the Governors have realized that increasing natural gas pipeline capacity into New England will have tremendous economic and environmental benefits. In spite of favorable conditions on the global energy market, our region has still endured an energy crisis this winter. New England’s February electricity prices were third highest ever ($126.7/MWh) and the most expensive in the country, with natural gas prices averaging $17.27/MMBtu while other areas of the country paid $3 to $4. New England relied on oil and coal for 26.2% of its electricity in February, driving up costs and regressing on its important climate change goals. In spite of low oil prices, increased LNG supply and a warm winter, New England still paid hundreds of millions of dollars more for energy than it would have with a sufficient supply of natural gas. In addition to overpaying for energy, New England ratepayers also had to rely on oil for electric generation through the Winter Reliability Program, a $50 to 75 million subsidy which is overwhelmingly paid to oil-fired generators to ensure grid reliability. All ratepayers will continue to pay this subsidy, in addition to their market costs, until our natural gas power plants can reliably get the fuel they need. This winter, though the Winter Reliability Program, New England’s antiquated oilfired generators burned 2,717,500 barrels of oil compared to 2,700,500 barrels last winter. We cannot continue to rely on oil for generation and hope for favorable conditions. New England must control what it can and prepare for the worst: cold weather, high oil prices, and no LNG. We need two moderately sized pipeline projects and at least 2 billion cubic feet of pipeline capacity per day in order to account for increasing regional demand for natural gas and decreasing supplies from Atlantic Canada. Additional pipeline capacity is in addition to, not in lieu of, more efficiency and increased renewable energy. Natural gas opponents argue that New England has to choose between natural gas and renewables, but this binary choice reflects a fundamental misconception of New England’s energy markets. Renewable energy, especially from the sun and wind, is intermittently produced based on season, time of day, and weather. While we need to continue to expand our reliance on renewable energy, New England’s energy infra-
structure must be sized with enough capacity to power the entire region when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind does not blow. In reality, increased natural gas supply is essential for reducing our region’s carbon emissions. ISO New England has also found that in order to fully retire our region’s remaining coaland oil-fired generation capacity by 2020, at least 5,000 MW of natural gas-fired replacement generation should be built as a replacement. This new generation will have a significant impact on reducing energy costs, integrating additional renewable energy output, and retiring the region’s outdated coal- and oil-fired generators, but will need access to sufficient natural gas supply in order to deliver these benefits. Our continuing energy crisis will only get worse in future years when we don’t have the favorable market conditions that prevented catastrophe this winter. New England businesses and families are struggling to cover their high costs and cannot sustain more years of energy crisis. And beyond the economic and social impact of high prices, our region is compelled to complete our transition from dirty coal and oil generation. The Governor’s meeting today signifies an acceptance of these fundamental economic and environmental facts, and is a positive step towards eliminating the multi-billion-dollar energy tax paid annually by all New England consumers of electricity and natural gas. Now, our region’s leaders must act to ensure the development of two new pipelines carrying at least two billion cubic feet of natural gas a day in order to end New England’s energy crisis. ——— About the Coalition to Lower Energy Costs The Coalition to Lower Energy Costs is an association of individual consumers, labor unions, larger energy consumers and institutions concerned about the threat to New England’s families and economy from skyrocketing natural gas and electric prices. Its members employ tens of thousands of New Englanders concerned about unfair energy costs. For more information, visit www.energycostcrisis.com.

from Democrats, particularly black lawmakers in the House, that the historic lag had racial overtones. Lynch was nominated by Obama in November. Still, the final margin of her confirmation vote was wider than expected. For a few weeks, only five Republicans had said they would support her. Two more declared their support right before the vote, and 10 GOP senators ended up casting their ballots in her favor, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). “Today, the Senate finally confirmed Loretta Lynch to be America’s next attorney general – and America will be better off for it,” Obama said Thursday. “Loretta has spent her life fighting for the fair and equal justice that is the foundation of our democracy.” Once she is sworn in, Lynch will replace Eric Holder, who has led the Justice Department since the beginning of Obama’s first term and developed a toxic relationship with congressional Republicans — with the GOP-led House even holding him in contempt in June 2012. Holder had pledged to stay in his job until his successor was confirmed, which took longer than most had imagined. “I have serious concerns about the current attorney general, who has stated that he will stay until a new attorney general is confirmed,” said Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio), who waited until Thursday to announce his support for Lynch. “No one disputes that Ms. Lynch is well-qualified.” The GOP-led Senate cleared Lynch’s nomination through a procedural vote, 66-34, late Thursday morning. Under new rules pushed through unilaterally by Senate Democrats in November 2013, she needed only a simple majority, rather than 60 votes, to clear a filibuster. The comfortable margin on the procedural vote was a way for Republicans not to validate the Democrats’ controversial rules change — which the GOP vehemently opposed. Still, forcing the Lynch nomination to cloture breaks new ground: All previous attorney general nominees have gone straight to a confirmation vote, according to the Senate Historical Office. In fact, her wait was the longest since the Reagan administration, when it took 13 months for Ed Meese to be confirmed — primarily because of ethical questions surrounding his nomination. Senate Democrats bear some blame for the delay in the Lynch’s confirmation process. They could have worked on her confirmation during their final weeks of Senate control after losing the majority, but instead chose to push through judicial nominees — who have lifetime appointments. Aside from McConnell and Portman, the Senate Republicans who supported Lynch were: Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, Thad Cochran of Mississippi, Susan Collins of Maine, Jeff Flake of Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Orrin Hatch of Utah, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, and Mark Kirk of Illinois. Some recent speculation had centered on Cochran as a potential vote, in part because he owed his victory over a conservative challenger last June to black voters in Mississippi who backed Cochran in the state’s open primary. And McConnell, the top Senate Republican, kept his cards close to the vest for weeks on whether he would support Lynch. “I am hopeful that Ms. Lynch will use her lengthy professional experience and skills to provide the new leadership, reform, and improved relations with the Congress that the Department sorely needs,” McConnell said in a statement after the vote. Senators such as Ayotte, Johnson, Kirk and Portman are up for reelection next year and are top targets for Democrats. “Ms. Lynch is a well-respected U.S. attorney with a proven record and significant experience handling difficult cases,” said Ayotte, who announced her support on Thursday. “After meeting with her and reviewing her qualifications, I believe she is clearly qualified and has the necessary experience to serve as attorney general.” As her nomination languished in the Senate this year, lawmakers traded increasingly sharp rhetorical attacks, including Democratic accusations that the delay was racially motivated. Underscoring the historic nature of her nomination, black leaders on and off Capitol Hill launched an intense lobbying effort in the final weeks before she was confirmed, urging undecided Republicans to back the veteran prosecutor. Lynch’s track record includes two stints as U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York where she handled cases involving terrorism, police brutality and public corruption. Lynch, the daughter of a Baptist minister, set out in December to charm senators through private, one-on-one meetings, and some Republicans — including those who ultimately opposed her on Thursday — even came away from the sit-downs inclined to support her. Her father, the Rev. Lorenzo Lynch, attended her confirmation hearing and committee vote, and was on hand again Thursday in the Senate chamber to watch his daughter become the next U.S. attorney general.

Holyoke man pleads not guilty in soldier’s slaying SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A Holyoke man charged with murder in the 2009 fatal shooting of an Iraq-bound Connecticut soldier and former high school football star has pleaded not guilty. The Republican of Springfield reports that 30-year-old Michael Rodriguez pleaded not guilty Thursday in Hampden Superior Court in the slaying of 25-year-old Julian Cartie. Cartie was shot in February 2009 in Springfield. The former New Britain High School football star was scheduled for deployment with the Connecticut National Guard to Iraq later that year. Authorities say Cartie, his brother and a friend visited several Springfield clubs and were headed to a restaurant at about 2 a.m. when they got in a dispute with other people in a car. Police say one of the car’s occupants got out and opened fire, striking Cartie three times.

The Swords Family Memorial Scholarship “The family is both the fundamental unit of society as well as the root of culture. It… is a perpetual source of encouragement, advocacy, assurance, and emotional refueling that empowers a child to venture with confidence into the greater world and to become all that he can be.” — Marianne E. Neifert As this fundamental unit, a family can only truly develop with an independent, strong, and loving woman at its core. For the Swords family, Barbara Swords was that woman at the heart of it all. As a mother of six, grandmother of sixteen, and greatgrandmother of two, all members of our family can attest that she encompassed above and beyond all that is essential to be the epicenter of such a sturdy, respected, and hardworking “clan.” This scholarship is in remembrance of Barbara Swords, as well as those of the Swords family who passed well before their time; Richard Swords, husband of Barbara; and three of their beloved children, Pamela Gay Swords, Patrick Swords, and Kevin Swords. Barbara and Richard Swords were originally from Springfield, and settled in Westfield to raise their family of six children. With a large family, being involved came naturally. Dick Swords decided to become politically involved and was elected to the City Council in 1974. He worked diligently on the Council. As a devoted wife, Barbara worked beside him behind the scenes. He was a gregarious person, enjoyed life, and loved to laugh. Richard Swords passed away in 1982 before getting to know most of his grandchildren, more sadly, before they got to know him. The eldest of Dick and Barbara’s children, Pamela Gay, was a mother of two very young girls when she
Police capture suspect in fatal Springfield stabbing SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A Springfield man wanted in connection with the fatal stabbing of a 29-year-old mother of three last month has been captured after running through backyards and hopping over fences in an attempt to evade capture. State police say 46-year-old Erick Buchanon was caught Wednesday night after police spotted him walking down a city street. When officers approached him, he ran off. Police set up a perimeter and he was eventually found hiding on a home's front porch. Authorities allege Buchanon stabbed three people on March 11. One of the victims, Salina Merritt, died. The other two escaped by jumping out a window. He faces charges including murder and two counts of attempted murder. Police have called the stabbing "domestic related" but have not disclosed a motive.
lost her battle with breast cancer in 1987. In her short life she accomplished a great deal; she worked at getting an education and also became involved in her community. The year following the cancellation of the 4th of July fireworks in Westfield due to a lack of funding, Pam initiated fund-raisers throughout the community. The next year, fireworks in Westfield were once again seen on the 4th of July. So not only do we see a reminder of Pam in her children, but also in the colorful sky on the 4th. Patrick Swords, the youngest in the clan, was most like his father. He loved life and everyone loved him. Patrick always had a story to tell and would always have a captive The Swords Family Memorial Scholarship audience. Pat was most involved in the community through whatever interests his children had at the moment. Aside from his family, his passions were golf and music. Pat’s life ended all too soon in 2007. Very sadly in 2011, the Swords family lost Kevin. He was known as one of Westfield’s finest as a detective on the police force. Kevin enjoyed being outdoors, whether it was fishing, golfing, or enjoying one of the kid’s games. He would say what was most important in his life was being a father to his four beautiful children. A few years after Dick’s passing in 1982, Barbara assumed his position as Ward 4 Councilor on the Westfield City Council. She served for 22 years, from 1985-2007. As a member of the Council, Barbara was known as a great leader, a sincere environmentalist, and was well respected for her uncompromising principles and passion for the City of Westfield. Due to her active role in protecting the environment, she was dubbed the “Green Councilor.” Richard K. Sullivan, Jr., a longtime mayor of Westfield and a past member of the City Council, had worked closely with Barbara and said, “She was really the conscience of the City Council and in many ways, the conscience of the city.“ Her work on environmental issues was progressive and “ahead of her time,” and she was often referred to as “trailblazer” in reference to many important environmen-
tal topics. Barbara belonged to many organizations such as the Winding River Land Conservancy, and was honored as the Westfield Parade Marshall in the Holyoke St. Patrick’s Day Parade. In 2008, she accepted the Outstanding Community Spirit Award from the Greater Westfield Chapter of the American Red Cross. On December 21, 2012, the Swords family lost their matriarch and the Westfield community lost a leader. In the community she will most be remembered for her integrity, timeless public servitude, and endless advocacy for the environmental welfare of Western Massachusetts. In her family, she will most be remembered for her unconditional love, positive attitude, generosity, wisdom, and her ability to “be sassy while staying classy.” Following the many years of Barb’s dedication, this scholarship will be reserved for a student who understands
the importance of our community and shows a strong commitment to it. The student shall also demonstrate dedication to protecting the environment for future generations. As the recipient of this scholarship, we wish you the best in your future endeavors. Written by Kathryn Swords, granddaughter and Christine Swords, daughter-in-law January 14, 2013

HOMEDESIGN Good-bye keys: ‘Smart locks’ let you in without them
In this undated photo provided by Steve Gilberg, Gilberg and his dog Joey pose for photos in Chicago. The 6-year-old pug-Chihuahua mix came down with canine flu. “It was a Sunday morning and he just started coughing really, really hard, kind of like a smoker’s hacking cough, coming from the belly,” said Gilberg.

Worried sick over canine flu? Tips to help protect your pup LOS ANGELES (AP) — An outbreak of canine flu has sickened more than 1,000 dogs in the Midwest, killing a handful and stirring concern among animal lovers nationwide that the highly contagious virus will sideline their pets. Experts blame the epidemic on a strain called H3N2 that is seen in Asia and leaves pets feeling lousy for about two weeks. Veterinarians believe the strain, which doesn’t yet have a vaccine, will likely spread to other parts of the country, so they offer ways to keep pets healthy or help those that are already ill. WHAT TO LOOK FOR Steve Gilberg, a digital marketer in Chicago, says his 6-year-old pug-Chihuahua mix, Joey, had most of the symptoms: high fever, runny nose, watery eyes, sore throat and loss of appetite. But mostly, he coughed. “He just started coughing really, really hard, kind of like a smoker’s hacking cough, coming from the belly,” Gilberg said. Dr. Brian Collins urges owners to pay attention to changes in behavior, such as dwindling interest in eating, drinking and playing, labored or rapid breathing, or lethargy. “If he’s always happy to eat and now he isn’t, that isn’t a good sign. Are they clingy
when they are usually close, removed when they are usually just a bit aloof?” said Collins, a companion animal veterinarian at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine in Ithaca, New York. HELPING SICK PETS Start by taking its temperature. You can’t just feel your dog’s forehead to see if it’s running a fever, but digital thermometers can take readings under an armpit or in the most accurate area — the backside, Collins said. Food and fluids are important, so keep trying to entice your buddy. With a pet that isn’t eating well, offer fare that’s a bit more tempting, but be careful it doesn’t cause a stomachache. Try some baby food, canned meals or dry food softened with water. Dogs probably have achy muscles, a sore throat and stuffy head, while feeling tired and run down, so don’t discourage long bouts of snoozing as long as they are getting up to go outside and staying hydrated. “If he’s mostly resting and seems stable and is breathing comfortably, then the more sleep, the better,” Collins said. Gilberg said his sick pup would lie in bed all day, but it helped to hold him and then his energy returned gradually.
Infected dogs can be contagious for two weeks, so keep pets — sick or healthy — away from other pooches and places where they gather, such as doggie day cares, dog parks, groomers and pet stores. Some pet businesses in Illinois closed for a few days to help stop the spread. When Gilberg took Joey to the vet, the receptionist asked them to wait out front to avoid getting other dogs sick. The virus gets passed through the air when dogs sneeze or by people when germs jump on hands or clothing, where they can live for hours. But the canine flu doesn’t sicken people. WHEN MEDICINE HELPS There is no vaccine for the strain sweeping through Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio and Indiana. Shots are available for a similar strain seen last year, and some vets believe it could help ward off germs. But there’s no need to vaccinate dogs that are already sick, said Dr. Drew Sullivan of the Medical District Veterinary Clinic at Illinois in Chicago. Antibiotics likely would come in if a flu-infected dog contracts pneumonia. But doctors warn against treating dogs with cough syrup or other over-the-counter medicine in case it counteracts with other medications. “I don’t think it’s going away,” Sullivan said of the outbreak. “We can’t treat the virus, just the symptoms.”
By DIANA MARSZALEK Associated Press When Christy and Joe Affrunti bought their Long Island, New York, house last year, one of their first projects was replacing the traditional front-door lock with one that opens using a pass code. They were tired of the hassle of “jiggling with a key.” Now, when they need to give someone like a repairman temporary access, they give a temporary code to get in. They share their permanent code with friends; those who arrive at the house before they do, for instance, can “come in and be comfortable instead of sitting in their car,” Christy Affrunti says. “And when we feel too many people have the code, we create a new one and start again,” she says. “It’s perfect.” High-tech door locks — typically controlled by keypads, phone apps or even the swipe of a finger — could be pushing house keys into oblivion after centuries of trusty service. “For homeowners, being free from having to carry a key every time they go outside is a lot more liberating than you realize,” says Christopher DeSchamp, of the lock company Schlage. Many lock companies are ramping up their electronic-lock offerings in response to consumer interest. “People are expecting connectivity and 24/7 accessibility,” says Keith Brandon, Kwikset’s director of residential access solutions. “Smart locks of whatever variety are becoming more what people are expecting and are interested in.” Michael Tierney, standards coordinator for the Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association, which certifies home products, says keyless locks are also safe. “Keyless locks have been in the marketplace for some time now — stand-alone units for decades, and the connected products for more than 10 years — and have been proven to be safe and reliable,” he says. But choose wisely. Tierney recommends buying only from manufacturers that follow industry standards for security. Protect any passwords connected to the devices, and change batteries as needed. Schlage has a “kick” sensor that warns customers when someone is trying to break in, DeSchamp says. Today’s smart locks basically fit into three categories: 1. The most basic are opened by pushing a button or keypads. More sophisticated models allow homeowners to change codes or relegate them to particular users. Entry-level locks cost roughly $70 — about twice as much as a traditional deadbolt. 2. Other keyless locks are operated by phones, either using push-button pads, an app or simply holding a connected phone near the lock. Although it looks like a traditional lock, Kwikset’s Kevo is opened with a swipe of the finger. 3. Then there are locks that operate as part of larger “smart home” systems, from homesecurity systems to thermostats.

Offshoots of the smart-lock industry are cropping up as well. KeyMe, a New Yorkbased company, operates kiosks around the country that let customers make copies of digital keys and store them in the cloud. Which speaks to the fact that going keyless doesn’t totally eliminate the possibility of getting locked out. DeSchamp says his company offers call-in technical assistance to those who have “lost” their digital keys. Kwikset customers can manage them through the company’s website, Brandon says. And electronic locks are becoming common enough that many traditional locksmiths now know how to service them. But when all else fails, there’s still an old standby: Kwikset’s Kevo can be opened with a key.

It’s aimed at use with seeds that are engineered to resist the herbicide, so farmers can spray the fields after the plants emerge and kill the weeds while leaving crops unharmed.

Defense Council and a coalition of five environmental groups, including the Center for Food Safety, claim in separate lawsuits that it could endanger wildlife and public health. The groups first sued after the EPA in October approved the herbicide’s use in six states: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin. The latest motions were filed after the EPA decided last month to allow its use in nine more states: Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Nebraska, Oklahoma and North Dakota. “Our concern is the same as we’ve had all along, which is that this is a powerful chemical that has demonstrated harm to human health and to wildlife, and the EPA has simply not done an adequate job of assessing it before letting it loose,” said Paul H. Achitoff, an attorney representing five of the groups. Demand for Enlist promises to be strong because many weeds have become resistant to glyphosate, an herbicide commonly used on genetically modified corn and soybeans now. Enlist includes a combination of both the new version of 2,4-D and glyphosate. Groups that unsuccessfully lobbied the EPA to prevent its expanded use say they are concerned about 2,4D’s toxic effects and the potential for it to drift.

Review: ‘Camelot’ at The Bushnell By MARK G. AUERBACH Correspondent HARTFORD – A national tour of the Lerner and Loewe musical “Camelot” is in residence at The Bushnell in Hartford through Sunday. A retelling of the King Arthur legend based on T.H. White’s “The Once and Future King”, “Camelot was a Broadway blockbuster of the early 1960s, whose original cast recording was a top-of-the-charts album for 60 weeks. The musical introduced Richard Burton to Broadway musical audiences, gave Julie Andrews one of her greatest roles, and made Robert Goulet, who sang the musical’s bestknown showstopper “If Ever I Would Leave You”, an overnight sensation. The Kennedys loved the original production, and somehow, “Camelot” and “Kennedy” became imagery for those golden years. “Camelot” was always best known for its

exquisite score and its heavy script, and the music, at times, is ethereal, from the haunting “Follow Me” (sung ravishingly by Kate Turner as Nimue) to the showstopping “If Ever I Would Leave You”. There isn’t a weak number in “Camelot”. The script never matches the elegance or pace of the score, and the show requires an air of regal splendor. This touring production is on the slight side–small ensemble, small pit orchestra, and minimal choreography, which don’t serve the musical’s need for spectacle and pageantry. Kevin Depinet’s sets and Mike Baldassari’s lighting are understated, although there are a few eye-catching effects. Michael McFadden’s staging is serviceable. Tim Rogan’s performance as Lancelot (the Robert Goulet part) is terrific. He’s grandiose of manner, rich in voice, and eye candy as well–the finest performance with the most star quality in this company. Troy Bruchwalski, understudy for King Arthur, stepped into the role at the opening performance. He was tentative acting wise and vocally in his beginning scenes, but his rendering of “How to Handle a Woman” was accomplished. Mary McNulty’s performance as Guinevere was vocally pleasant.

Mochak, WHS tame Lions By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer LUDLOW – The early season roller coaster ride is currently trending upward for the hometown Bombers. The Westfield High School baseball team bounced back from a couple of tough losses (Amherst, Billerica) with a 7-3 victory Thursday, defeating regular season nemesis Ludlow, 7-3, at Whitney Field in Ludlow. Westfield ended a two-game slide with the win. The Bombers improved to 3-3 overall. It appears that a sophomore, Dalen Mochak, is the kryptonite that Westfield needed to turn back Ludlow. Mochak struck out six batters and walked three in a complete game outing (7 inn.) to record his first career victory at the varsity level. For the last few years, Ludlow has dealt Westfield regular season losses, and been a true thorn in the Bombers side. That is no more, thanks to Mochak and other fellow teammates. Kenny McLean led Westfield at the plate, going 2-for-4 with two RBIs. Tony Clark (2-for-3) also collected two hits, and
Sean Murphy, Chris Sullivan, and Craig Lacey had one apiece. Westfield will look to string together consecutive victories for the first time this season when the Bombers host the Agawam Brownies, Fri., April 24 at Bullens Field at 1 p.m.
Saints blast Indians St. Mary’s 12, Ware 8 St. Mary’s scored in every inning but the seventh en route to the road victory. The Saints exploded for six runs in the fourth. Five batters enjoyed multi-hit efforts for St. Mary’s, including Shawn Gezotis, who went 4-for-5 with four doubles, three runs, and three RBIs. Saints’ Colin Blake went 3-for-4 with three RBIs, Hunter Authier went 3-for-4 with a run and an RBI, and Charlie White and Ryan Gendron collected two hits apiece. White had a run and 2 RBIs; Gendron finished with two runs, an RBI, and two stolen bases. Jacob Butler pitched four solid innings of relief. He struck out three batters and yielded just one earned run.
Rams rally around Hamel, Fortini Southwick 6, Sabis 3 Southwick pitcher Bob Hamel scattered four hits, allowed two runs, struck out 11 batters, and walked one as the Rams rallied at home. Southwick managed just three hits, but took advantage of nine base-on-balls and two hit batsmen to go ahead late. The Rams rallied from a 3-0 deficit with two runs in the third inning, three in the fifth, and one in the sixth. Vinnie Fortini delivered the key hit during the comeback, a go-ahead two-run double. JV BASEBALL Southwick 22, Sabis 0 (5 inn.) Southwick’s Bart Shea tossed a one-hitter, striking out 11 batters and walking none, and chipped in with an RBI single. Brandon Seymore and Josh Sylvia helped spark the offense with doubles. Tyler Orbin, Josh Lis, Chris Kibbe, and Johnny Cesan singled for the Rams.
Rams, Bombers prevail By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – Thus far this season, the Southwick High School softball team looks like a true juggernaut not to be reckoned with. Southwick mashed the competition – this time the opponent was Sabis – 13-0 Thursday at home. The Rams had the bats going, and sophomore pitcher Emily Lachtara dominated again on the mound. Lachtara tossed a two-hitter in a six-inning affair. She recorded 12 strikeouts, and yielded one free pass.

Syd Rogers (3-for-4, double, 2 runs, RBI), Jenn Yelin (2-4, double, 2 runs, 3 RBIs), Alyssa Kelleher (double, 3 RBIs), and Tori DellaGiustina (triple, 3 walks, 2 RBIs) led the hit parade. JV RESULTS Eighth-grader Brittany Penland blasted a grand slam and home run to lead the Southwick JV softball team to a 21-1 rout of Sabis. The Rams were coming off a game in which they clobbered Palmer, 25-0. The big hit in that game was also a Penland grand slam.

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

Annie’s Mailbox By KATHY MITCHELL and MARCY SUGAR
Distraught Mom
Dear Annie: My husband died 11 years ago. Our son, “Marcus,” was 6 at the time. His dad was in intensive care for two months, and because of his young age, our son was not allowed to see his father. Before he died, my husband asked his younger brother to keep his drum set until Marcus turned 18. Marcus’ uncles used to call him every year on his birthday, which also is his father’s birthday. But since my husband died, neither has called to wish their nephew a happy birthday. Marcus will be 18 soon. He is into music and wants the drums. I have asked his uncle on several occasions by sending a message on Facebook. I also asked my son’s half-brother (from my husband’s first marriage) to get the drums, and Marcus would pick them up from his house. Nothing has happened. I recently noticed a picture on Facebook of a guy who used to play in a band with my late husband. In the photo, he is playing drums that look suspiciously like the ones that belong to my son. Marcus has nothing of his father’s. He was not included in any decisions on what to sell or what to keep, or even asked what he’d like to have. He was also given his dad’s El Camino, but my husband put the title in the name of Marcus’ halfbrother, who sold it. He didn’t even give my son any of the money from the sale. That was bad enough, but Marcus only really cares about the drums. The entire family knows that my late husband wanted Marcus to have the drums. What should I do? File a lawsuit? How do I honor my late husband’s wishes and give my son this final gift from his dad? -- Distraught Mom of a Musician Dear Mom: Is anything in writing? If not, you might need to file a lawsuit, but in order to prove your case, you probably will need other credible witnesses to testify that your husband’s wish was for Marcus to have the drum set. An attorney will let you know if you have a case. But a lawsuit should be a last resort. Please stop asking for personal things on Facebook. Pick up the phone. Call the uncle who supposedly has the drum set. Be nice. Tell him what a wonderful birthday present it would be for Marcus to finally have this memento from his father. Ask when would be convenient to pick it up and what you can do to facilitate the transfer. Marcus also can call his uncle. These relationships work both ways, and Marcus is old enough now to establish his own contact. And if he is close to his half-brother or another paternal relative, perhaps you or Marcus could get the relative to intercede on his behalf. Dear Annie: “Holding My Breath” said she can’t kiss her husband because of his halitosis. I had bad breath for 10 years. I brushed, used mouthwash and saw the dentist regularly. I also had frequent problems with my digestive tract. Finally, after having an endoscopy and a colonoscopy, my gallbladder was found to be functioning at 17 percent. It was removed, and my bad breath and constant low-level nausea went away immediately. -- Alabama Maggie Dear Maggie: Thanks for writing. Readers, please don’t assume these things are unimportant. They can indicate serious medical problems.
HINTS FROM HELOISE TRAVELING WITH A PET Dear Readers: If you will be TRAVELING WITH YOUR PET (OR PETS), here are a few hints for you and your furry friends. Some hints below are from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and some are from Heloise Central: * Be sure your pet has an ID tag with up-to-date contact information, including a cellphone number, because if someone calls your home, you won’t be there! Have your pets microchipped. * Pets should be in the back seat -- restrained, if possible. Yes, I know it’s hard to do, and our Cham will have none of it! Pets can be a distraction and a hazard in the front seat or if allowed to jump on your lap. Accidents do happen, and your pet may become a flying mass of fur. * Make plenty of stops, for you and for your pet. Pets need a bathroom break and a little walkabout, too. * DO NOT leave a pet unattended in the car, especially in extreme heat or cold. Try sitting in your car for just 10 minutes with the windows rolled up and the car off. You will see how it feels. * Bring food and water bowls. Use a collar (with tag) and a leash, and don’t forget some favorite toys * Check with the motels/hotels you might use to be sure they allow pets. Many do now. Let them know when making a reservation. We ask for a bottom room, near an exit door for easy in and out for all of us! -- Heloise, David and Chammy SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, April 24, 2015: This year you often stand up to others’ manipulations. You will start walking away from controlling people. You also will gain a new understanding, which will lead to enhanced communication skills. Your energy remains high. If you are single, you will apply your strong drive to meeting someone. Come late August, a significant person could enter your life. If you are attached, the two of you need to keep talking and accepting each other. You will want to spend some money on a special vacation for the two of you. Make sure you both are on board with this idea. CANCER always seeks you out.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You might feel as if someone is intentionally working against you. This person will do whatever he or she thinks will work. Do yourself a favor and pull away quickly. Review your finances before you engage in an expenditure. Tonight: Keep your distance from a control game. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Your desire to have a situation play out the way you want it to could cause a rift. You might not realize how damaging your manipulation can be. Let go, and trust that your thoughts will be evaluated once the power play ceases. Tonight: Indulge a friend or loved one. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Someone could be trying to pull you into a power play. Be smart and refuse to be part of the game. A friend will add an unexpected quality to your day. Use some of your innate charm and wit, and success will follow. Tonight: Buy a new item for your wardrobe. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might sense that much is going on behind closed doors. Consider breaking past a barrier. If you succeed, communication will excel. Be aware that someone around you has a crush on you. Could you have a secret admirer? Tonight: Let go, and have fun. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You easily could be overwhelmed by what you are hearing and sensing behind the scenes. Someone you look up to might be on the warpath. Know that you can’t stop this person, but you can withdraw your energy from the situation. Tonight: Paint the town red. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH A new friend suddenly could become contrary. You can’t control this person’s mood, but you can control your response to it. A meeting will allow your inventive mind to flourish. Stay on top of what is needed, but avoid becoming controlling. Tonight: Find a spot with great music. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Listen to news with openness, and attempt to deal with a problem. You might need to take the lead, whether you want to or not. Allow greater give-andtake. Your ability to see past the obvious will help you eliminate what is unnecessary. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Reach out to someone at a distance. You could be delighted by the conversation, though you might hear some unexpected news. A loved one could be difficult. Schedule some oneon-one time with this person if you can. Tonight: Flow with the moment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Deal with individuals rather than groups. You can be more open and get a better grasp on the other party’s thoughts. A child or new friend could surprise you. If you are single, someone you meet today will have a strong effect on you. Tonight: Head out with friends or co-workers. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Go with the flow, even if a suggestion sounds a little silly. It might be good for you to head into less-predictable situations. A loved one finally will decide to open up rather than resort to making argumentative comments. Tonight: Choose a favorite stressbuster. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Allowing more give-andtake would help you get past an unexpected communication. Understand that others could be a little out of whack and more volatile than usual. Let go of judgments, especially when dealing with a powerful friend. Tonight: Lighten your mood.
Cryptoquip
Crosswords
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Your creativity will emerge when dealing with an associate who could cause some uproar. A roommate or family member will express his or her caring in a significant way. Your intuition is likely to help you make a choice. Tonight: Your words will make a friend smile.

Silent bats lead to Sox loss ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Missed offensive opportunties cost the Boston Red Sox another series win. Rene Rivera had a run-scoring single in the bottom of the ninth inning and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Red Sox 2-1 on Thursday night. Boston lost two of three to the Rays to drop their first series in four tries this season. “We got shutdown tonight,” Boston manager John Farrell said. “Credit their guys. They didn’t fall behind in the count.” Boston went 1 for 23, including four failed opportunities Thursday, with runners in scoring position over the three-game set. Brandon Gomes struck out the only batter he faced, Boston pinch-hitter Hanley Ramirez, after falling behind 3-0 with two on to end the seventh. “I thought Hanley had an opportunity there, and Gomes makes a quality 3-2 pitch with a changeup for strike three,” Farrell said. Clay Buchholz allowed one run and two hits over six innings for Boston. He struck out 10 and walked three. “I felt really good,” Buchholz said. “You’re supposed to win the games you feel really good. That didn’t happen tonight.” Buchholz didn’t allow a run over 21 innings in his previous three road starts against the Rays, dating to 2012. The streak ended when the Rays tied it at 1 in the second on an RBI single by Logan Forsythe.
