Polls open in Southwick

By HOPE E. TREMBLAY Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – Although unopposed board of selectmen candidate Douglas Moglin seems to be a shoe-in for today’s election, the Southwick resident is not taking anything for granted “I am a ‘don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched’ kind of guy,” Moglin said yesterday. “I just heard today there’s a write-in candidate, so you never know.”

The Republican caucus nominee, Moglin said it’s rare for a write-in to win but he still wanted to encourage everyone to vote.

“Even if I wasn’t running I would vote,” he said. “Voting is so important – it’s a sacred right that we have in the

United States and I’d love to see people come out to vote.”

The only contested race on the ballot is for the Southwick Public Library board of trustees. Democrat Patrick Ayotte will face Republican Kristi Deedy for that one-year term.

Moglin is no stranger to small-town politics, which he stumbled into by accident more then 15 years ago.

“When I first moved here I went to a Planning Board meeting to find out where my street was located and I was asked if I was interested in volunteering,” he said. “At the time I did not have any kids and I had the time, so I said yes and I loved it so much. I learned a lot about the town it’s residents and businesses.”

Moglin served as an associate mem-

ber of the Planning Board for a few years and then was elected to the first of three five-year terms. He is currently in the midst of one of those terms and serves as the Planning Board chairman.

If elected, Moglin said he would resign from the Planning Board although the town bylaws do not limit how many municipal committees and boards a resident conserve on at one time.

“I think I would best serve the town as a member of one board,” he said.

Moglin has been asked to run for selectmen in the past but the timing was never right.

Stockbridge Farm’s program Herbs of the Mediterranean will be held at the Southwick Public Library on Wednesday,

By DAN MORIARTY Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Pioneer Valley Transit Center has purchased the Flahive Building on Arnold Street where it plans to construct the 2,700 square-foot Westfield Transit Pavilion on a three-quarter lot.

Pioneer Valley Transit Authority Administrator Mary L. MacInnes Friday confirmed the May 1 purchase posted on Mayor Daniel M. Knapik’s Facebook site last week.

“Now we’re an apartment building landlord,” MacInnes said, adding that the PVTA is working with both residential and commercial tenants to find new accommodations as required under federal law because the project is being funded through a federal grant. “We had people (a relocation consultant) contact the tenants with who we’ve been working for some time now on relocating.”

“A lot of the residents have already moved out using the relocation payment required by federal law,” MacInnes said. “The commercial tenants are also eligible for that relocation payment. That payment is an incentive to move out of the building.”

Westfield farms out to prove local is better

By JANINE QUEENAN Correspondent WESTFIELD – Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a popular trend across the country. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, more than 12,617 U.S farms sell products using this shared-risk model.

CSAs allow consumers to deal directly with farmers. Fresh produce is sold throughout the growing season using a share distribution system.

CSA “members” invest in the farm by paying for the product upfront, before the season begins. The farmer allocates the goods to the members on a regular basis, and members receive a share of fresh, plentiful, locally grown food.

Environmental concerns around modern agriculture drove the creation of the CSA system. By supporting farmers, consumers help protect natural resources and support the local economy.

CSAs are abundant in this region of the state and many have expanded beyond selling produce.

Today, CSAs sell vegetables, fruit, meat, dairy, eggs, herbs, and non-food items, such as yarn.

Western Massachusetts has a long history with

the CSA movement. One of the first CSAs started in Great Barrington during the 1980s. Nowadays, hundreds of regional farmers take part in direct to the consumer farming.

Two of those CSAs operate in Westfield: Kosinski Farms on Russellville Road and Yellow Stonehouse Farm on Root Road.

In business for more than 80 years, the Kosinski family runs two farms, a retail stand, bakery, and greenhouse in Westfield. Owner/operator Gene Kosinski started the CSA five years ago to offer more produce to the consumer. He’s happy with the results.

“The CSA has grown each year, mostly by word of mouth,” he said.

Kosinski also sits on the board of CISA (Community Involved in Sustaining Agriculture), the creators of the popular, and long-running, “Be a Local Hero, Buy Locally Grown,” marketing campaign.

CISA promotes local agriculture and according to Kosinski, “shows the difference between things See Local Farms, Page 3

NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Authorities say a man living in a suburban Philadelphia assisted-living facility has lost his housing subsidy after officials found a prostitute underneath his bed.

Uri Monson tells The Intelligencer in Doylestown (http://bit.ly/1cpH33U) the man, believed to be in his 70s, paid prostitutes using profits earned from peddling alcohol to fellow residents.

Monson says the man was a “more mobile gentleman” who went on booze runs for his neighbors.

The incident was reported Thursday after county commissioners authorized contract extensions with private facilities housing former residents of the closed county-owned assisted living facility.

The county paid more than $1 million to subsidize assisted living care for 21 seniors last year.

The Southwick Historical Society will end the month with its spring open house on May 31 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. featuring a show and sale of quilt boards as our fund raiser. This art form began in the mid-west and is a very popular tourist route. Years ago quilters wanted to have a way to display the various quilt patterns used in fabric. Someone had the brilliant idea of painting these patterns on boards and displaying them on the local barns. We have adapted this idea in to a smaller size to be used on homes, garages and even garden sheds. The boards are hand painted, framed and weatherproof. There are a myriad of patterns and color choices that will fit into your décor.

Along with the sale, the open house will feature tours of the Moore House and The C.J. Gillett Cigar Factory as well as demonstrations, door prizes and refreshments. Please join us at the museums at 84-86 College Highway, adjacent to Meadow View Farms.

Gateway Regional School District closed for Memorial Day HUNTINGTON – All schools in the Gateway Regional School District will be closed on Monday, May 25 for Memorial Day. The Gateway Wellness Center and Littleville Wrap Around Program will be closed.

In keeping with recent practice, the Gateway High School Band will perform in the Blandford and Russell parades this year.

Instrumental music director Beth Guertin created a schedule last year that enabled the five Gateway towns that have Memorial Day parades to have the Gateway band on alternating years. This has become necessary because Gateway’s 5-12 music staff was reduced from three instructors to two instructors in the 2009-10 school year. The school district now has one instrumental music director for those grades, who can only supervise one band on Memorial Day.In 2016, the towns of Chester, Huntington and Montgomery will again have the Gateway band.

screening includes a physical ability test (PAT) and a medical screening.

“All four candidates interviewed, but only two will be appointed by the commission (at this time),” Regan said. “The department will send the top two picks who pass the PAT and medical screening.”

The four candidates are: Tyler Ritchie, a military veteran and the son of a firefighter; David Albert, a military veteran and the brother of a firefighter; William Kopatz; and Eric Liptak.

Veterans are issued points, increasing their entry level examination score, for their military service.

The Fire Commission also interviewed two firefighters, one of whom will be appointed to the training captain’s post. The two candidates are Christopher Kane, a six-year veteran of the department who is a firefighter/EMT and Keith Supinski, a 14-year veteran of the department and a paramedic.

“Both candidates for the captain’s post interviewed pretty well,” Regan said. “The Commission members decided to take time to digest the information and will meet with the personal director. The commission decided it will make decisions later this week, but we’re one step closer to having somebody promoted.”

The Fire Commission recently hired six firefighters who will go to the training academy on June 22 to become certified.

Those newly appointed firefighter, whose official hire date was April 13, include Aaron LaFrenaye, Benjamin Hogan, Richard Ponti-Smith, Anastas Pchelka, David Pleshaw, and Timothy Bozak.

the timeline for the project is to demolish the building later this fall and to begin construction of the transit facility in the early spring of 2016, with construction completed by early 2017.

Pioneer Valley Transit Authority unveiled a modernistic design of a glass and steel building for the Westfield Transit Pavilion it plans to construct on Arnold Street during an informal site plan review last January conducted by the Planning Board.

The proposed design was developed and presented to the Planning Board by Reinhardt Associates of Agawam, the architectural and engineering firm retained by the PVTA. Reinhardt architect John D. MacMillan said the facility will have four bus berths along Arnold Street that do not project into the roadway, while the building and bus facilities will have “elements” such as benches, lights and cobble stone consistent with those of the Gaslight District reconstruction plans now in its second year of construction by Gagliarducci Construction Inc. of Springfield.

That project will encompass the area between Elm Street on the east, and Washington Street on the west, Franklin Street on the north and Court Street on the south. The Gaslight Project would improve the infrastructure and streets, while enhancing pedestrian movement in one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods abutting Elm Street.

Existing underground utilities would be replaced and overhead utilities will be buried to support further commercial and residential development in the neighborhood. A new street will be constructed through the Arnold Street municipal parking lot at an offset with Summer Street and the cut through between Church and School streets. Sidewalks will be installed with

shipped up from New Jersey and produce grown by farmers in Massachusetts.”

This is important because, “there is still agriculture in Westfield with farms doing a good job producing locally grown,” said Kosinski. “CISA promotes sustainable agriculture and the need to support Massachusetts agriculture, or it will be a thing of the past.”

Across town, John Adams-Keilch and his wife Constance run Westfield’s only certified organic farm at Yellow Stonehouse Farm.

Adams-Keilch began farming after retirement, when an uncle left him and his wife the farm. A CSA right from the start, Yellow Stonehouse Farm accommodates up to 250 members during four weekly pick up days.

The farm is busy, but Adams-Keilch likes it.

“We enjoy the social aspect (of the CSA) and have met hundreds of people from all over because of the farm,” he said.

While the upfront cost is daunting for some, Adams-Keilch believes it’s affordable for everyone.

“We try to keep things affordable,” he said. “We figure out what we spend and see what everyone else is charging and then charge $25 less.”

Produce not used for the CSA sells at a small farmers market held on the property each weekend or is donated to the Huntington Food Bank. The farm does some marketing, but like Kosinski, most members come by word of mouth.

One of those members is Megan Stanton of Westfield who joined the CSA on the recommendation of a friend.

“Joining the CSA has been a great experience,” said Stanton.

“The expense is well worth it.”

“The share is abundant and of good quality, and I care about organic,” she said. “The alternative would be to drive up to a place like Whole Foods, which would probably be more expensive and of lesser quality.”

Many members come back year after year.

“Members like to touch the food, see how it grows. (To see) what it looks like in real life,” said Adams-Keilch. “We try new things every year; we’re experimenters. Our goal is to have something different every week (for members). Each year we plant twenty different items in addition to the regular things.”

“My kids enjoy trying new things and the CSA share is a great way to expose the family to new things,” said Stanton.

“It’s a great opportunity to try creative new recipes. I’m a pretty adventurous eater, and I’ve tried new things I’ve never tried in my life. That’s a great part of the experience.”

Members share the reward of fresh produce, but also the risk of crop failure or another catastrophe that could result in a loss of investment. Both Kosinski and Adams-Keilch said it’s never happened. “(We’ve) never had crop failure, so never had to short change members,” said Kosinski.

Adams-Keilch makes sure he plants crops to address unforeseen problems.

“There is no risk for members,” he said. “It’s hard to fail if you cover the bases by planting a wide variety and more than you need.”

As Americans become more concerned about the origins of their food for health and environmental reasons, the CSA system will continue grow. CSAs are good for farmers, who receive a steady income stream throughout the year and for members, who receive fresh, ripe, local food and the opportunity to meet the people who grow it.

Kosinski Farm offers a full farm share for $650 for the season, a half share for $375, and an add-on bake shop share for $200.

Yellow Stonehouse Farm offers a full summer share for $625 and half shares for $435. Adams-Keilch allows members to split shares.

Yellow Stonehouse Farm is holding an Open House at the farm on May 16th and 17th for anyone considering a CSA farm share this summer. For more information visit www.yellowstonehousefarmcsa.com Kosinski Farm has expanded its business and opened a winery next to the farm on Russellville Road. The winery features fruit wine made from products from the farm. For more information visit www.ravenhollowwinery.com

Rosenberg Asks Department of Public Utilities to Hold Hearing on Proposed Natural Gas Agreement in western Mass.

NORTHAMPTON – Massachusetts Senate President Stan Rosenberg (D-Amherst) sent a letter today to the Department of Public Utilities (DPU) asking them to schedule a public hearing in Western Massachusetts on the proposed agreement between Berkshire Gas and the Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company.

“This agreement will have a significant impact on the region, and I think it’s critical that we ensure that the public is engaged in this process” said Rosenberg on Monday, further noting that “We have to make sure that citizens get a chance to voice their ideas and opinions on the issues that will ultimately affect them.” Currently, the Department has only scheduled one hearing, set to take place at 2pm on May 26th at its Boston Office, to gather public input on the proposed agreement.

In the letter, addressed to DPU Commissioner Angela O’Connor, Rosenberg wrote “It is important for the Department to receive public input as it deliberates whether the proposed agreement is in the public interest. A second public hearing in Western Massachusetts will help ensure that the public interest is adequately represented in this case.”

The Myth of a ‘Better’ Iran Deal

By PHILIP GORDON Politico.com Consider the following scenario. A Democratic U.S. administration, working closely with key international partners, negotiates a nuclear nonproliferation agreement with an adversarial rogue state. The deal, an imperfect compromise, would lessen the country’s international isolation and provide some economic benefit in exchange for eliminating the means to produce nuclear weapons. A new Congress is then elected, whose Republican majority vociferously rejects “rewarding bad behavior” and opposes the deal. It bans the provision of economic assistance unless and until the regime abandons all its nuclear activities and changes its destabilizing behavior in the region. The deal then predictably falls apart, the tightening of U.S. sanctions fails to have the desired effect, the military option proves nonviable, and the rogue state moves forward with its nuclear program, ultimately testing and stockpiling a growing number of nuclear weapons.

The scenario I’m referring to is not Iran today but North Korea in 1994, when an “Agreed Framework” negotiated by the Clinton administration was sharply criticized by members of a new Congress who insisted on a “better deal.” They objected to the U.S. provision of fuel oil and light water power reactors for North Korea, which, while itself failing to fully implement the deal, eventually responded by withdrawing from the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and becoming an overt nuclear weapons state.

Now there are many differences between Iran today and North Korea then, and it may well be that even the scrupulous implementation of the U.S. side of the agreement would not have prevented a North Korean nuclear weapon. Moreover, the comprehensive deal being negotiated between the P5+1 nuclear powers and Iran will be far more detailed and comprehensive, including in its verifications provisions, than the relatively loose, four-page Agreed Framework was. But the experience with North Korea does provide a potential lesson: In See Iran Deal, Page 5

U.S. officials fuming over Hersh account of Osama bin Laden raid The Obama administration is hotly disputing the investigative reporter’s version of events

By BRYAN BENDER and PHILIP EWING Politico.com One of America’s most revered investigative journalists has questioned the veracity of one of the Obama administration’s proudest achievements — and the firestorm of criticism has been immediate and unforgiving, from the White House to the Pentagon to the CIA. The publication Sunday of a 10,000-word article questioning the official version of the 2011 raid that killed Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden might have received scant attention had it it not been penned by Seymour Hersh.

The award-winning reporter, 78, who uncovered one of the worst war crimes by U.S. troops during the Vietnam War and disclosed the torture of inmates at the U.S military-run Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq in 2004, is now questioning the entire national security bureaucracy in one fell swoop. And its members are taking it personally.

“If you were to believe Sy, you would have to believe this massive conspiracy that President Obama, Robert Gates, Leon Panetta and Mike Morell were all lying to you,” said Bill Harlow, the agency’s former top spokesman, referring to two recent secretaries of defense and a former acting CIA director.

“It makes absolutely no sense.”

Harlow said the puzzlement, even anger, at the charges stemmed from the fact that the mission to kill the mastermind of the worst terrorist attacks on U.S. soil, which officials said was the culmination of years of painstaking intelligence work, remains a crowning achievement of the war on terrorism.

“It was a source of national pride, not just the CIA but the entire country,” Harlow said.

According to Hersh’s article, top Pakistani officials initially did not inform the U.S. about bin Laden’s whereabouts in the hope of using the late Al Qaeda leader as “leverage” in negotiations.

The report also states that Pakistani officials knew about the raid before it happened in May 2011 and instructed those monitoring bin Laden’s compound to allow the SEALs to conduct the operation unobstructed.

Hersh’s story relies heavily on the account of a single unnamed source, referred to as “a retired senior intelligence official who was knowledgeable about the initial intelligence about bin Laden’s presence in Abbottabad.”

“The person obviously was not close to what actually happened,” Morell said of Hersh’s anonymous source in a CBS interview. “The Pakistanis did not know.”

Morell, in a new book, “The Great War of Our Time,” dedicates a whole chapter to his efforts to smooth the ruffled feathers of Pakistani leaders outraged that they were not made aware of the raid.

“Both the Pakistani military and Pakistani intelligence were embarrassed by this,” Morell told Politico. “A much better outcome would have been if we did do this together. It would have cemented the relationship. Because we couldn’t trust them, we couldn’t tell them.”

One former intelligence official knowledgeable about the bin Laden raid also called Hersh’s report “a fictional account.”

“This was indeed a unilateral American operation, one that involved months of painstaking intelligence analysis, and the Pakistanis were never read in on the raid before it happened.”

American intelligence officials, including CIA Director John Brennan, have speculated openly that bin Laden may have had some help from within the Pakistani government or others inside Pakistan, but no connection has ever been made definitively. At the same time, about four years after the raid, nearly everything about it has been revealed either in authorized releases by the administration or unauthorized revelations, including by some of the SEALs who participated in it.

Given all the information that has materialized, the former intelligence official asked, how could it be that some details Hersh includes are only surfacing now?

“The portrayal that Hersh offers — if it were accurate, it’s likely that it would have been exposed long ago,” the former official said. “It defies logic the way this town operates.”

(NBC, citing two unnamed U.S. officials, added some intrigue to the controversy late Monday. It reported that in addition to tracking Bin laden’s couriers to his location, a “walk in” from Pakistani intelligence also tipped off the agency).

The pushback against the Hersh story from the White House and the military was also fierce.

“There are too many inaccuracies and baseless assertions in this piece to fact check each one,” White House national security spokesman Ned Price said in a statement to reporters early Monday. Later, at the daily White House briefing, White House spokesman Josh Earnest chimed in, saying the report is full of “inaccuracies and outright falsehoods.”

SEYMOUR HERSH The criticism of the article was bipartisan.

“I simply have never heard of anything like this,” Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said on MSNBC, adding that he is convinced the circumstances of the raid were as the administration described.

“This is a great success on the part of the administration. We all admire the president’s decision. … The president and his team did the right thing here.”

At the Pentagon, the article struck a particular nerve, especially among those with ties to the elite Special Operations Command.

They consider the raid on bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, to be a high point in the history of American special operations. The raid, Operation Neptune Spear, is often contrasted with a low point — Operation Eagle Claw, the botched 1980 attempt to rescue American hostages in Iran ordered by President Jimmy Carter that killed eight troops and freed no captured Americans.

That bitter embarrassment led to decades of spending billions of dollars on new training, technology and intelligencegathering capabilities that made possible the raid on Abbottabad, defense officials have argued.

“There are too many inaccuracies to even bother going through them line by line,” Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman, told reporters of the Hersh piece, which appeared in the London Review of Books. “But there should be no question that this was a unilateral action and it was conducted in accordance with all standing laws of armed conflict. The public record on the operation there is clear. The president announced it within 24 hours of completion of it, and there is nothing to add to what the president’s already said. This article appears, from where I sit, to be largely a fabrication. I’m too busy to waste my time with it.”

Hersh did not return calls to his Washington home seeking comment, though he appeared on CNN on Monday to defend his reporting.

“I’ve been around a long time,” said Hersh, “and I understand the consequences of what I’m saying.” He called Morell’s account of what happened in Abbottabad, which is consistent with those of other officials in the Obama administration, a “Lewis Carroll fairy tale.”

In 2012, New York University’s Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute named Hersh among the top 100 American journalists of the past century, along with the likes of Ernest Hemingway, Langston Hughes and pioneering foreign correspondent Hannah Arendt. Among his stories that had stood out most were those about about the 1968 My Lai massacre, in which U.S. troops were implicated in the killing of Vietnamese civilians. Ultimately, Army Lt. William Calley was convicted of killing 22 villagers and sentenced to life in prison. Hersh, also then a freelance journalist, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his work in 1970. He recently published a retrospective on the story in The New Yorker after traveling back to My Lai. Hersh received the National Magazine Award for Public Interest, among other prizes, for his disclosure of the abuses at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.

In recent years, however, Hersh’s reporting has increasingly been called into question — and his almost exclusive reliance on anonymous sources widely criticized.

For example, a 2013 piece claiming that the Obama administration “cherry-picked” intelligence about the use of chemical weapons by forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad was turned down by both The New York Times and The Washington Post.

But his reputation, at least in the halls of power in Washington, seems to have hit a low point.

“Have you ever spoken to him?” asked Harlow. “It is kind of a psychedelic experience. He talks to you and then says thanks and hangs up. You don’t know what he could have got from you.”

Another former intelligence official with direct knowledge of the bin Laden operation speculated that the Pakistanis, who were “furious” that U.S. troops entered the heart of the country without being detected, were behind the false story as a way to save face.

“They finally found somebody to bite.”

Peter J. Alinskas FRAMINGHAM — Peter Alinskas, 98, (April 6, 1917 – May 6, 2015) died peacefully on May 6, 2015 at St. Patrick’s Manor, the skilled nursing facility in Framingham where he had been a resident for the past two years.

Peter was born on April 6, 1917 in Westfield. He was the son of Simon Alinskas and Justina (Lucy) Sabonis. He joined the U.S. Army in 1940 and was stationed at Scofield Barracks in Hawaii when Pearl Harbor was attacked in December 1941. He later saw action in the Ardennes Counteroffensive conducted toward the end of World War II in Europe. This fight was also referred to in the press as the “Battle of the Bulge”.

He was employed for many years as a machinist at Smith & Wesson in East Springfield before retiring in 1982.

Peter’s first wife, Irene Cavanaugh, died in 1974. In 1981, he married Margaret (Peg) Siska, whose husband Fred died in 1973. Peter and Peg moved to North Falmouth, MA in 1982 and returned to live at The American Inn in Southwick in 2004.

Police search Berkshires after new leads in serial slayings ADAMS, Mass. (AP) — Authorities are searching an area of western Massachusetts as part of an investigation of unresolved cases linked to a man convicted of two killings.

Berkshire District Attorney David Capeless said Monday investigators are following up leads related to Lewis Lent.

Police from Massachusetts and New York state will be concentrating over the next several days in the Glen area of Mount Greylock in Adams, which was not previously searched.

Sixty-five-year-old Lent is serving life without parole for the 1990 killing of 12-year-old Jimmy Bernardo of Pittsfield.

He was sentenced to 25 years to life in New York for the 1993 slaying of 12-year-old Sara Anne Wood of Litchfield. Lent also confessed to the 1992 killing of 16-year-old Jamie Lusher of Westfield. The remains of Sara and Jamie haven't been found.

Judge denies bail for Springfield shelter stabbing suspect SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A Springfield man has pleaded not guilty to fatally stabbing another man outside a city homeless shelter where they were both staying.

Jose Ramos held without bail at his arraignment Monday in Hampden Superior Court.

Police say Ramos and Luis Sanchez were arguing in the basement of the Worthington Street shelter in March. After they went outside to fight, shelter staff notified police.

According to documents, police arrived to find Ramos clutching a “knife-like object” while Sanchez was bleeding from two stab wounds. Sanchez was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead.

When the detectives approached him, they say Ramos stood up and put both hands behind his back.

Ramos told police Sanchez is “dangerous” and always carries knives.

the messy world of nuclear nonproliferation, the perfect can be the enemy of the good. Insisting on a perfect deal could be a recipe for having no deal at all — with devastating consequences all around.

No one involved in the negotiation of the framework agreement with Iran, as I was from the time negotiations began until I left the Obama administration in April, believes it is an ideal solution. Critics are right that Iran has the nuclear infrastructure it has today only by violating its international obligations and lying to the world about its capabilities and intentions. In an ideal world, therefore, a nuclear agreement with Iran would eliminate its nuclear infrastructure and stockpile of low enriched uranium, provide for “anywhere, anytime” inspections, require Tehran to admit past nuclear weapons work, and — as proposed in various amendments to the Iran legislation Congress considered last week — require Iran to recognize Israel and cease its support for terrorism in the region and beyond.

But we do not live in a perfect world, and the “better deal” proposed by the critics of the Lausanne framework is a fantasy.

During 10 years of increased pressure from 2003 to 2013, while the U.S. and the world insisted that Iran abandon all enrichment, Iran vastly increased its nuclear infrastructure and knowledge, building thousands of new centrifuges, conducting extensive research and development on advanced models, accumulating stockpiles of enriched uranium, commencing construction of a heavy-water reactor capable of producing weaponsgrade plutonium and building an underground enrichment facility out of reach of international inspectors. Even assuming other world powers could somehow be persuaded to increase sanctions on Iran today if Congress votes against a comprehensive agreement, it requires an even bigger leap of faith to believe Iran would respond by giving in across the board. The more likely outcome is that we would find ourselves back at the table in another year or two, facing an Iran with an even more advanced nuclear program and even less willing to accept a workable compromise. The alternative would be military force and all the drawbacks that option entails — including that Iran would likely emerge even more determined to produce nuclear weapons, requiring us to use force again in the not-too-distant future.

The Lausanne arrangement is not perfect, but it is far better than any realistic alternative, and much more comprehensive than the North Korea framework. Through significant reductions in Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, constraints on its R&D and unprecedented verification mechanisms, it would extend the time needed for Iran to produce enough nuclear material for a bomb from just a few months to more than a year, until at least 2025. And even after some of the constraints on Iran’s infrastructure are lifted, a comprehensive inspections regime will remain in place, and all the options open to us now to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon will be open to us then.

Rejecting the opportunity to constrain Iran’s nuclear program in this way based on the hope that down the road Iran will agree to a better deal, or that the military option provides an effective alternative to it, is a luxury outside actors may possess, but it would be an enormous gamble for the president of the United States.

There are differences between Iran now and North Korea then that may actually play in our favor. Iran’s leadership is arguably more rational and susceptible to public pressure to improve the economy, our military option is more credible this time because Iran cannot destroy a nearby capital with artillery as Pyongyang can destroy Seoul, and Iran does not yet have enough nuclear material for a weapon, whereas North Korea probably did. Congress should keep these differences in mind as it considers whether to support a nuclear deal with Iran. But it should also keep in mind an important potential lesson from

the previous experience: Rejecting an imperfect deal can result in no deal at all. And no deal at all, in the most relevant recent case, resulted in a new, and very dangerous, nuclear weapons state.

“I’ve been here all day, praying for you. Help me get up. My legs are locked. I’m being punished.”

That’s how my mom greeted me after school. She was kneeling in front of the human sized crucifix she’d hung in the living room. She was like that when I left to catch the bus in the morning. She was still like that after band practice at dinner time. She cried. I tried to tell her that things were okay, but she said she saw the devil in my eyes and would do anything it took to win my soul back.

My Dad had her sent to the hospital soon after that.

It was the eighties and the hospital was a terrible place.

I always felt it was my fault that she was put there. She came home between the electroshock treatments.

When she was on the medicine they gave her, she was like a zombie. My Dad said if she didn’t keep taking it, he would leave her. She said she couldn’t hear God’s voice anymore and wouldn’t take it.

He set her up in an apartment, gave her some money, kept her on his life insurance, and checked in on her once a week. Sometimes we’d get to see her, but just for a few minutes. Even then it was hard. She wasn’t always like that. She was funny, a long time ago, and danced. She’d made great baklava. She’d bought me my first drum set. Everybody she loved got a baklava.

Everyone she thought was special in some way.

She stayed in that apartment, praying on her knees or going to the hospital to fight the demons, for fifteen years.

My Dad heard about the Carson Center and convinced Mom to give it a try. There were new meds to try and a group. After six months, I saw her laugh again. They even had therapy for us, for Dad and I, who had watched the mystery of mental illness take our family to terrible places far apart from one another.

Mother’s Day has always been hard for me. But this year, I went to see my mom and she made me a baklava like you wouldn’t believe. I saved some for my Carson therapist, but mom had already brought her some. And for the group.

National Hospital Day was originally conceived by a Chicago magazine editor as a public healthcare event that encouraged the public to trust in the city’s hospitals after the Spanish Flu outbreak of 1918, which killed more than 600,000 Americans. The event expanded to an entire week in 1953, and today every state celebrates National Hospital Week, which is sponsored by the American Hospital Association. This annual celebration serves as a reminder that hospitals are foundations of the communities that built them and nurture them, and that hospitals serve people in every community from all walks of life.

Grapefruit can be hazardous to your health

By JENNIFER GIFFUNE R.D., L.D.N Correspondent Grapefruit as one part of a healthy eating plan can be very nutritious. Grapefruit is a rich source of many health-promoting nutrients such as beta-carotene, vitamin C, potassium, fiber, water, pectin, lycopene and folic acid. In addition to that, it is very low in sodium, saturated fat and calories. So, where is the problem? Grapefruit is also chock full of naturally existing plant chemicals known as furanocoumarins; the most well-known being bergamottin/bergamot. If you take medications on a daily basis, you need to know that furanocoumarins can possibly lead to a toxic build up of drugs in your bloodstream.

Most drugs follow these steps – First the drugs are broken down in the intestines and absorbed into the blood. Next the drugs go to the liver, which breaks them down further for use. Finally, the usable parts of the drug are then sent out into the body and delivered to the appropriate locations. When your PCP prescribes a medication and dosage, it is with the knowledge that only a portion of that drug will be broken down, absorbed and transported in the body.

So, what is the problem? If you have grapefruit juice (which contains furanocoumarins) it stops the enzymes in the intestines from working, meaning you will absorb a lot more than expected. That sounds good at first, but think about this – the liver is supposed to further process the medications that you just absorbed, but the furanocoumarins stop that as well. Additionally, furanocoumarins also interfere with transportation of medications. All of this leads to a lot more of the drug circulating in your blood. The amount could be toxic – such high levels that you could have life-threatening complications.

There are over 85 medications that can have serious consequences from grapefruit juice, including drugs for: • Allergies • Antibiotics for infections (e.g. urinary tract infection) • Breathing (e.g. asthma, cough, emphysema) • Cancer • Central nervous system (e.g. pain, epilepsy) • Heart disease (e.g. arrhythmia, blood clots, heart attack, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, stroke) • Immune system (e.g. HIV) • Male reproductive health (e.g. enlarged prostate, erectile dysfunction) • Mental health issues (e.g. anxiety, depression) • Nausea The signs that you may have a problem with grapefruit juice and your medications can be quite obvious, scary and dangerous. You may experience an irregular heartbeat, heart blockages, kidney damage, blood clots and bone marrow damage.

So does one glass of grapefruit juice really make a difference? The answer is yes, and the impact can last up to four days after your drink it.

Check your prescription bottle, and you will see a sticker on it that will warn you if grapefruit juice is a problem. Removing grapefruit juice from the menu is the obvious action to take if you see that warning label. Grapefruit juice is not the only source of Furanocoumarins. So, it is important to take note of other foods and drinks to be avoided such as: Food Rich in Grapefruit & Furanocoumarin (to be avoided)*

Candy: Anything made with bitter orange oil or sour orange peel or bergamot orange/peel or Seville orange peel- found in candy, gum Cocktails/Liqueur: (check with the bartender; some examples include Blue Cosmopolitan, Hurricane, Sea Breeze, Siberian Sunrise) Citrus Drinks/Sodas: Fanta, Fresca, Canada Dry Citrus Blend, Crush Fuze, Full Throttle Citrus, 7 Up, Sierra Mist, Squirt, Sundrop Fruit: Bergamot Oranges/Peel, Bitter Orange Oil, Grapefruit/grapefruit juice (fresh, frozen, concentrate, extract), Minneolas, Pummelos, Seville or Sour Oranges, Tangelos Jam/Jelly: Orange Marmalade Teas: Lipton Diet Citrus Green Tea, Nestea Citrus Green Tea, Snapple, Earl Grey Waters: Powerade Citrus, Prope Citrus, Vitamin Water Tropical Citrus Medications are a vital key in the treatment of many health conditions. To make sure the right dosage is being delivered to your body, make it a priority to find out if you need to avoid furanocoumarins (in all foods/drinks). Your PCP, pharmacist and registered dietitian are invaluable in this endeavor – review your medication list with each of them to determine the potential risk of interference by Furanocoumarins; your life may depend upon it!

Smartphone microscope now used to detect parasites in blood LAURAN NEERGAARD AP Medical Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — Prick a finger and have the blood checked for parasites — by smartphone? Scientists are turning those ubiquitous phones into microscopes and other medical tools that could help fight diseases in remote parts of the world.

In the newest work, University of California, Berkeley, researchers used a smartphone-run video microscope to target a challenge in parts of Central Africa — some devastating infections caused by tiny parasitic worms.

A small pilot study in Cameroon showed the device could measure within minutes certain worms wriggling in a finger-prick of blood, rapidly identifying who is a candidate for an important medication — and who’s at risk for a severe side effect from that drug.

If larger studies pan out, the so-called “CellScope Loa” could help revive a program to eliminate diseases that cause blindness and disability in the region, the team reported Wednesday in the journal Science Translational Medicine.

Essentially, the instrument acted as a cheap, portable

laboratory — no lab technician required — part of a trend in medical uses for smartphones that goes far beyond simple tasks like measuring heartbeats or emailing your doctor photos of a suspicious mole.

“This is a very important technology,” said Baylor College of Medicine’s Dr. Peter Hotez, a well-known specialist in neglected tropical diseases who wasn’t involved in the new research.

“It’s very practical,” by eliminating the need for specially trained health workers and pricey equipment in remote villages, he added.

It’s the latest in a string of attempts to harness smartphones as mini-labs.

Columbia University scientists recently created a device powered by a smartphone to detect signs of HIV and syphilis in blood, pilot-testing the tool in clinics in Rwanda. At Massachusetts General Hospital, doctors are researching a tool that clips over a smartphone camera to detect cancer in blood or tissue samples. Hotez said still other researchers are using phone cameras to detect intestinal parasites in stool samples.

Wednesday’s research targets a public health dilemma:

A drug named ivermectin can fight two kinds of microscopic worms, spread to people through insect bites, that cause debilitating infections in much of Africa — river blindness and lymphatic filariasis, a disabling swelling.

Mass campaigns to treat affected communities are underway in many areas.

But in certain parts of Central Africa, the treatment campaigns had to be suspended because some people also harbor a third worm, named Loa loa, that can trigger a potentially fatal neurologic reaction to the medication, said Dr. Thomas Nutman of the U.S. National Institutes of Health. For now, the only way to tell who’s at risk requires manually testing blood samples, taking hours and specially trained workers that simply aren’t available during mass treatment programs, added Nutman, who worked with the Berkeley team on a faster alternative.

The researchers created a handheld device that converts a smartphone into a video microscope and uses custom software to record and analyze movements in blood cells that signal worm larvae are wriggling, said UC-Berkeley bioengineer Dr. Daniel Fletcher, who led the work.

“We’re using this phone not just as computer power or for its camera, but to run the test,” Fletcher explained.

How it works: Squeeze a finger-prick of blood into a small tube and slide the tube into the 3-D printed base.

Click the smartphone on top, its camera lined over the blood sample. Touch the screen to start an app and an image-processing system analyzes wriggling motions that are the size and shape to be of concern, and reports a count.

When used on 33 potentially infected people in Cameroon, the results were comparable to standard microscope testing, the researchers reported Wednesday. Next, Nutman said the team hopes to test the devices in a study of at least 30,000 people in

Clegg, Parsons fuel Tigers’ attack

By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Westfield Vocational-Technical High School baseball team had a blast, for sure, on Monday.

Nick Clegg blew away the competition, striking out 10 batters and walking just one, and Jake Parsons blasted a home run to propel Westfield VocTech past Pioneer Valley Christian School 9-2 Monday at Bullens Field.

Clegg went the distance on the mound. He also made a phenomenal double play with an all-out diving catch off a bunt and doubling up a PVCS base runner in the fourth inning.

Parson’s homer was a deep two-run blast over the right center field fence. “(That) home run was … a legitimate bomb,” Voc-Tech coach Kyle Dulude said.

Alex Sparks, Andrew Daniels, and Chris Boyden delivered RBI singles.

Tanner Hart kept innings alive for the Tigers, walking three times and scoring once. Alex Sparks and Tyler French made key defensive plays.

“We have a tough road ahead of us,” said coach Dulude, whose team is currently sitting at .500. “We need to play like we did today the rest of the way if we want to make the Western Mass. tournament.”

Teams qualify for the postseason with a .500 or better record, or by placing first or second in their respective leagues.

Southwick pitcher Sam Parker scattered two hits over five innings, yielding just two earned runs and striking out two. Bart Shea struck out six in two innings of relief.

Brand Seymour (single, double, 2 RBIs) and Josh Lis (single, double) led Southwick.

Tyler Orban, Bart Shea, Richie Alimberte, Sam Mizanoglu, and Tyler Keeney helped drive in runs for the Rams.

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

Little Confused

Dear Annie: I’m a little confused about a recent development in my life. I’m a 69-year-old male. My wife died last summer after being in a nursing facility for nearly two years.

I recently went on a trip to visit some buddies. On the way, I decided to see a woman who was married to my wife’s cousin.

Her husband also died after a long illness. I found that I enjoyed the short time we had together. At the conclusion of the trip with my buddies, she agreed to see me on my way back. The second visit seemed even better than the first. I thought we had a real connection.

I’m not sure where to go with this new friendship. I really like her a lot. Should I stay in contact? Do you think I’m just lonely and looking for companionship? I don’t want to simply fill a void. Should I continue with letters and texting, waiting to see whether anything happens, or should I be straightforward and ask how she feels about me? -- Confused Dear Confused: Yes, you should stay in contact, and yes, you should let her know you are interested in spending more time with her. Are you lonely or looking for companionship? Most people are. We might caution you if you were desperately looking into mail-order brides, but that’s not the case. You know this woman. She is already a friend. You enjoy her company, and she seems to enjoy yours. We say go for it.

Dear Annie: With graduation season coming upon us soon, I am wondering what to do.

I am a high school sports coach. Over the past few summers, I have been invited to multiple graduation parties. Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy the parties, and I love my players. I am honored to be invited and to have had a positive impact on their lives.

But I can’t afford to give each party honoree a gift. That would add up pretty quickly, and it’s not fair to give one player a gift and not another.

Is it rude not to give gifts, or is it better not to attend any parties? -- Coach on a Budget Dear Coach: We have mentioned in the past that the best gift a teacher or coach can give is a letter expressing positive thoughts about the graduate. Write something that indicates personal knowledge of the player’s attributes and strengths, his or her sense of humor, teamwork, compassion, efforts or talent.

These letters are cherished and saved for years and are more meaningful than any material gift you could buy. And you also will feel free to attend the parties, which the players will also appreciate.

Dear Annie: In your response to “Al,” who found three dusty books inside some ductwork, you told him he could trace the owner without “pouring” over the personal content. Oops! The word should have been “poring.” -- Ken Hooton Dear Ken Hooton: You weren’t the only reader who caught that mistake, which our overworked editors also missed.

Thanks for hauling us up short.

HINTS FROM HELOISE FAST FACTS Dear Readers: One-time projects to spiff up the house: * Buy hangers for water hoses. * Clean or paint the front door. * Replace hardware on kitchen cabinets. * Get a new mailbox. * Buy new pillows for the couch.

-- Heloise CAREGIVER HELPER Dear Heloise: I was the caregiver for an Alzheimer’s patient.

A co-worker’s father-in-law (also an Alzheimer’s patient) decided he would drive and took the car out. He was later found out of gas at the side of the road. I took my friend to the hardware store and had the car key remade to look the same, but just not work. -- Jane T., Grand Rapids, Mich.

Jane, thankfully it turned out all right and he was not hurt. It is very difficult to deal with loved ones in situations like this.

The most important issue is keeping them safe! This is one way to circumvent the potential problem without having to take the keys or sell the car, which can be hard on both parties. -- Hugs, Heloise SAVE MONEY Dear Heloise: Once you have one of those lightweight mops with the disposable cloths, why waste money buying the new cloths? I use an old/stained washcloth. It holds water and cleaning solution better anyway. Just toss it in the washer and reuse.

Brian Anderson

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, May 12, 2015 This year you might feel as if you can’t get enough time alone. Your friends make it clear how much they like to hang out with you. Wherever you seem to go, you meet new people and make new friends. You will want to focus on a long-term goal or desire, as you will be able to manifest it from September onward. If you are single, you will have many potential suitors, but someone of significance enters your life after summer. If you are attached, the two of you have a great time together, and are often socializing with an expanding circle of friends. PISCES can be very touchy.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You might have a nagging sense that something is off, and you could have a hard time getting past it.

Follow your intuition, and you will land well. Someone you care about will have much to share with you. Consider your alternatives more carefully. Tonight: Catch some zzz’s.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Your energy is abundant, and it will become more evident by midday. You’ll have a lot of ground to cover and many people to speak to.

Exchange ideas openly with an eye to success. Your ability to get past a hassle will be crucial. Tonight: Where people are. Don’t be alone.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You might wonder about your choices. How you see a personal matter could change drastically after several conversations. Your perspective broadens, and you will see more possibilities emerge. Test out an idea with care. Tonight: The fun begins now.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Reach out to someone at a distance. When you speak to this person, you tend to feel empowered.

Recognize how important it is to have a strong, solid outlook to rely on. Turn a negative situation into a positive one just by remaining upbeat. Tonight: Settle in.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Be direct in how you deal with someone. This person might need to have an important conversation with you. Try to listen to his or her ideas, even if they seem to be conflicting.

There could be some important details you’ll need to hear. Tonight: Share more of your authentic self.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You could have an opportunity to present a personal matter differently. Listen to a loved one who shares a lot of his or her thoughts and dreams.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Defer to a new friend or associate. You are likely to enjoy this person’s wild imagination and followthrough. Think in terms of fast changes and new beginnings. You will enjoy yourself more if you simply sit back and relax. Do not fight the inevitable.

Tonight: Make it easy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Listen to news without inserting your feelings into the situation. You could be far more dynamic if you sift through everything you hear without projecting. A partner might admit to some of the statements being riddled with humor. Tonight: Add your intensity to the mix.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Coming from a centered space could be a problem. Your mind seems to drift to personal matters. A discussion will be confusing because you might not be totally present in the moment. Be receptive and willing to ask questions if something doesn’t click. Tonight: Take a walk.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could be up for a change in the near future. Listen to news with an open mind. A loved one’s caring will make it easier to move through a hassle.

You might feel stressed out because of your finances, but hang in there, and you’ll be OK. Tonight: On top of a problem.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Be aware of what you have to offer, and stay secure despite the fact that a loved one seems to be creating uproar. Deal with money matters, but make decisions only once you are confi-

dent of what needs to happen. Tonight: Buy a favorite meal on the way home.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You have a strong sense of direction. How you handle a personal matter could radically change in the next few days. Your sense of humor and ability to quickly move through a lot of details and errands will allow you to stay on key.
