Prenatal, postpartum treatment efforts get support through grant

By LORI SZEPELAK Correspondent WESTFIELD – Anne Vaillant, C.N.M., is spearheading a perinatal support grant through MotherWoman and the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health for women in the Greater Westfield area.

Vaillant, a North American Menopause Society certified menopause practitioner and MotherWoman Postpartum Support Group facilitator, recently rejoined Women’s Health Associates on Springfield Road after focusing her efforts on applying for – and receiving – a CommunityBased Perinatal Support Model™ Massachusetts (CPSM-MA) grant through MotherWoman, the state Department of Mental Health (DMH), and the Massachusetts Child Psychiatry Access Project (MCPAP for Moms). The grant will allow the practice to not only identify and treat perinatal depression, but will also provide the resources to develop and guide support groups.

MotherWoman, headquartered in Hadley, has been partnering with communities across the state for the past six years to address perinatal mental health so that mothers can receive the care and treatment they need. In 2014, MotherWoman selected six diverse communities for its CPSM program which included Springfield, Brockton, Cape & Islands, Greater Lynn, Greater New Bedford, and Worcester. When a request for proposals for additional communities to participate was launched, Vaillant and her colleagues at Women’s Health Associates were honored to be among those chosen for the grant.

“Postpartum depression affects one mother in five and it is estimated that one in every three women experiences depression during pregnancy,” said Vaillant. “With numbers like these, it is imperative that all of us increase our understanding of perinatal emotional complications and share resources to build a stronger safety net for all women and families in our community.”

The CPSM-MA grant will give providers in greater Westfield and the hilltowns the tools necessary to build a leadership team with key partners from primary care, mental health, social service, and mothers with lived experience of postpartum depression.

The grant will also create a city-wide coalition to address perinatal mental health issues, develop strategies to address barriers to care, and provide perinatal support groups for mothers at risk for or experiencing perinatal depression.

“The grant provides a rare opportunity to work closely with experts in the field of perinatal mental health,” she said.

teachers getting a sense when someone’s “not there” in reading and other skills.

Throughout the presentation, Leslie talked about the journey of her son, who is dyslexic, and the challenges she went through in getting him the appropriate services he needed.

A “consent for evaluation form” must be sent to parents within five days of a referral, listing all of the concerns regarding the child. Once the form is signed, “it starts the ball rolling,” Leslie said.

The school then has 30 school days to evaluate the child, not counting weekends or days that school is not in session. Tests may include a reading test, fluency test (to determine comprehension), functional behavior evaluations, and more. Physicians may be asked to do a comprehensive health exam. There may also be a psychological assessment done by a licensed school, educational, or general psychologist. Home assessments may also be done.

Parents may have a dialogue with the school about the testing. “You want to be comfortable that the school is testing in all areas of disabilities,” Leslie said.

By DAN MORIARTY Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The owners of two historic buildings made an informal presentation to the Community Preservation Committee last week for funds needed during the public participation segment of the meeting.

Judy Lyon of the First Congregational Church Property Committee said the church is looking for funds to bring a building into compliance with requirements of the federal Americans with Disabilities Act. The building, which was built as a school and later used as the city hall, requires accessibility to bring the building into state and federal building and ADA codes.

The structure had been occupied by a long-term tenant, the Carson Center, which recently relocated.

“The building needs to be brought up to code before we find another tenant,” Lyon said. “We hired an architect to access handicap accessibility to the first floor and a contractor has given us a ball park number of about $150,000 for the cost of construction.”

Lyon said the lift would be similar to that installed at the nearby Tavern Restaurant and to two lifts installed recently in the current City Hall.

“The church has saved some money for this project, but we can’t afford the entire project cost,” Lyon said.

“We’d like to explore options for when the next tenant is identified and the specific needs of that tenant.”

Cindy Gaylord, representing the Historical Commission on the CPC, said “it is an amazing building. It was the old city hall and it is on the city’s historic register. It could draw a large tenant if it has handicapped accessibility.”

Peter Fiordalice, who represents the Planning Board on the CPC, asked specify questions about the location of the handicap lift and how it would be enclosed or incorporated into the building structure.

Lyon said the church has not released a request for bids because it does not have the funding to act on a bid and that part of how the lift would be incorporated would be included in the individual bids for the project.

Tom Sharp, representing the Conservation Commission, said he would like an opinion from the Law Department because of a possible church-state

Special Education basic rights discussed

By AMY PORTER Correspondent WESTFIELD – The Westfield Special Education Advisory Council (SEPAC) held a workshop on the basic rights of parents in regard to the Special Education process on Thursday evening at the Westfield Technical Academy. Leslie Leslie from the Federation for Children with Special Needs gave an overview to around one dozen parents and educators in attendance on the process of receiving Special Education (SPED) for their children.

Leslie said all children with disabilities have the right to a free and appropriate education. Special Education services must meet the needs of the child, which she said is the reason individual education plans (IEPs) are put in place.

Parents, teachers, professionals and physicians may all refer a child for an evaluation, which is the first step in the process.

Parents must consent to the evaluation in writing. Parents might refuse services for various reasons, such as a concern about labeling their child, or wanting to wait and see if the problems resolve themselves.

Referrals might be prompted by a child missing developmental milestones, or by

Springfield man arrested for threatening to commit murder

By CHRISTINE CHARNOSKY Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The law finally caught up with a man who has had two warrants out for his arrest for charges that include threatening to murder his girlfriend’s ex.

Rafael A. Ortiz, 34, of Springfield was arrested by Massachusetts State Police Tuesday on two outstanding warrants dating back to threats made in December 2014.

Ortiz was released on $1,000 cash on Tuesday, was due in Springfield District Court on Wednesday and then due in Westfield District Court on Thursday.

He was released on $2,500 personal surety for the following

charges for which he was arraigned in Westfield District Court: two counts of threat to commit a crime (murder), criminal harassment and witness/juror/police/court official intimidation.

The victim first contacted Westfield Police on December 16 to report that Ortiz allegedly told him, “I will deal with you on the spot, and I’m not going to use my hands,” which the victim took to mean he would use a gun, according to Westfield Police Officer Patrick Shea’s report.

Ortiz was reportedly dating the victim’s ex-girlfriend, who is the mother of one of the victim’s children.

Additionally, the victim reported Ortiz as saying “I have 357 reasons

to deal with you,” which the victim assumed meant using a .357 magnum firearm on him, according to Shea.

Ortiz allegedly made other threats including, “I’m going to put you six feet under! I know where you and your kids rest your heads at,” Shea wrote.

Shea wrote that “Ortiz has an extensive violent criminal history which includes firearms charges and armed robbery.”

Reportedly Shea was unable to obtain a current address for Ortiz.

On December 29, the victim returned to Westfield police to report that he had received approximately 20 phone calls to his cell within a three-hour period that day from a private number and several

threatening messages were left allegedly by Ortiz, according to court records.

The threats again referred to “ending” the victim.

The victim told police he believes Ortiz is making threats against him due to the victim receiving full custody of the child he fathered with his ex.

Allegedly, Ortiz also threatened bodily harm to the victim’s case worker at DCF. Ortiz is due back in Westfield District Court on December 3.

Review: ‘The Laramie Project’ at Connecticut Repertory Theatre

By MARK AUERBACH Correspondent STORRS, Conn. – The Connecticut Repertory Theatre on the UConn campus in Storrs, has produced some great theatre in the last few years. I enjoyed productions of The Music Man with Barrett Foa and Gypsy with Leslie Uggams there. They open their season with a riveting production of The Laramie Project.

Seventeen years ago this Columbus Day Weekend, Matthew Shepard, a young gay man in Laramie, Wyoming, was abducted, tortured, beaten and left to die, tied to a fence in a field outside the small Wyoming college town. As details about this brutal and horrific hate crime made world headlines, Moises Kaufman and members of The Tectonic Theatre Company went to Laramie to interview the townspeople – friends and acquaintances of Shepard and his family, and friends and acquaintances of Aaron McKinney and ANNE VALLIANT Women’s Health Associates

Woman stops intruder with medieval combat skills, sword INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — An Indiana woman says her training in medieval combat helped her corner a home intruder.

The Indianapolis Star reports 43-yearold Karen Dolley of Indianapolis threw punches until she had the man cornered during the Thursday night break-in. She then kept him subdued with a Japanese sword she keeps near her bed.

Dolley says she learned to fight as a teenager in the Society for Creative Anachronism, a group that recreates skills of the Middle Ages. She also skates with roller derby team Naptown Roller Girls.

Police responding to Dolley’s 911 call arrested 30-year-old Jacob Wessel of Greenwood, charging him with residential entry. Police say he forced open the home’s back door. Police reports say he was taken to a hospital because he was high on an unknown substance.

I must have no hatred or bitterness towards any one.”)

Laramie Project

Continued from Page 1

Russell Henderson (the killers), and others. What emerged as The Laramie Project in 2000 remains, 15 years later, a powerhouse of a play, one not only “ripped from today’s headlines” but one with an incredibly moving and provocative message.

In the hands of director Vincent J. Cardinal, and a terrific acting ensemble of eleven, all of whom play multiple parts, The Connecticut Repertory Theatre production of The Laramie Project is intense theatre at is finest. Cardinal uses simple production techniques, well-designed sets and costumes by Tim Brown and Raven Ong, stunning lighting and projections by Margaret Peebles and Josh Winiarski, and weaves together an evening that unfolds thrillingly with balance.

The acting performances are all superb, and each member of the company should be commended for tackling a number of diverse characters effortlessly, often with the change of a scarf, the tilt of a hat, and other simple nuances. Brandy Burre from HBO’s The Wire and Shakespeare andCompany’s Josh Aaron McCabe head the cast, many of whom are grad and upper level undergrad theatre students at UConn. They all deserved the standing ovation received at Saturday’s performance. Among the stand-outs for me were: Chester Martin as murderer Aaron McKinney, Rev. Fred Phelps,

and and a college president; Curtis Longfellow as a hospital administrator and a gay Laramie resident, Bryce Wood as the bartender and a preacher, and Meredith Saran as Romaine Patterson. Kudos to the entire cast.

It took until 2009 for hate crime legislation to be signed into law

by President Obama. The Laramie Project, a brilliant and absorbing piece of theatre given this outstanding production by Connecticut Repertory Theatre shows the power of theatre to tell a story of our times. It’s one of the most intense, yet satisfying evenings of theatre I’ve experienced in a while.

The Connecticut Repertory Theatre presents The Laramie Project by Moises Kaufman and members of The Tectonic Theatre Project. Directed by Vincent J. Cardinal. Scenic design by Tim Brown. Costumes designed by Raven Ong. Lighting design by Margaret Peebles. Sound designed by Justin Graziani. Projections designed by Josh Winiarski. Cast: Arlene Bozich, Brandy Burre, Coleman Churchill, Natalia Cuevas, Zach Dictakis, Curtis Longfellow, Chester Martin, Josh Aaron McCabe, Susannah Resnikoff, Meredith Saran, Bryce Wood.

If you have any questions, please contact the Public Works office “I feel strongly that for me it was absolutely the right decision, at (413) 572-6226. and probably saved my life,” she said.

When Vaillant was pregnant a second time, she said because she knew more – she was “better prepared” for the anxiety that she experienced once again.

“So much of the difference I noticed was in how I could love my children,” she said. “Suddenly I could connect with them, and my partner again, and feel real joy in being with them which I totally didn’t feel before.”

Vaillant, along with Robert S. Wool, M.D., Jacqueline S. Kates, M.D., Amy L. Metzger, C.N.M., and Debbie Ames, C.N.M., all of Women’s Health Associates, will be working collaboratively with Baystate Noble Hospital, Westfield High School, Westfield Infant and Toddlers, and the Hilltown Community Health Center on the grant.

Women’s Health Associates will also host a training session Nov. 12 from 2 to 5 p.m. at Baystate Noble Hospital titled “MotherWoman Training Institute: Promoting Maternal and Infant Mental Health: The Community-Based Perinatal Support Model for Mothers.”

Nurse CE’s and social work CEU’s will also be awarded after completion of the program. Presenters are Annette Cycon, LICSW, founder and director of training, MotherWoman, and Liz Friedman, program director, MotherWoman and the Massachusetts Governor’s Commission on PPD. For more registration information, contact Vaillant at (413) 562-8306 or via email to vaillantanne@hotmail. com.

As the grant program slowly takes shape, Vaillant and her colleagues are enthusiastic about the overall goal – to create a community of people who know about the path that women are walking. Individuals interested in becoming facilitators are encouraged to attend a training session Oct. 22-24 from 8 to 5 p.m. at the Chicopee Resource Center. For more details, contact Vaillant.

“We also want to build a framework through support groups in Westfield and the hill towns that helps women avoid spiraling into depression in the first place,” said Vaillant. “Our facilitators will share their empowerment stories with women and remind them they are not alone.”

As Vaillant assesses her 20-year nursing career helping to keep women healthy – her takeaway is simple.

“This may sound simplistic but most of the time it boils down to two things – being welcomed in community, and being free to tell the whole truth,” she said.

A debate day release includes sensitive information on a CIA operative.

By JOSH GERSTEIN Politico.com As Hillary Clinton prepares for the first debate of the Democratic presidential primary season, she’s got one more thing to worry about: an imminent dump of another batch of emails from her private account that includes at least one reflecting an alleged security breach.

The expected release from Clinton’s account as secretary of state includes one that names a human source providing information to the CIA, according to a letter from Benghazi Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C). The email undercuts Clinton’s defense that she did not send classified information by email and that none of the information on her server was classified at the time she received it. That claim is now being tested in a meticulous FBI inquiry of how classified information wound up in her account.

Gowdy called the human source’s identity “information Clinton should have known was classified at the time she received it” and “some of the most protected information in our intelligence community.”

Gowdy said Clinton forwarded the email to a colleague.

However, Clinton aides have said she would have had no reason to think she was receiving highly classified information from her friend Sidney Blumenthal, who was offering Clinton unofficial advice on Benghazi. Both Blumenthal and the former CIA operative who supposedly identified the CIA source, Tyler Drumheller, were outside the government at the time.

An email release, stirring another round of Republican attacks about Clinton’s truthfulness, is tough for any candidate to face in the tense lead-up to a high-profile debate. But in Clinton’s case, the email controversy has dogged her candidacy for seven months and counting, with periodic releases leading to shifting explanations about what was on Clinton’s server and what became of about 32,000 emails she said were deleted after her lawyers deemed them personal.

The timing of another release appears to be no accident, and Republicans on the House Benghazi Committee have been defending themselves from charges that the whole investigation is a partisan witch hunt designed to derail Clinton’s candidacy. That line of attack intensified over the weekend.

The saga has left Clinton wrestling with an octopus, disentangling one tentacle only to find another latching on somewhere else.

The Tuesday release includes more than 1,500 emails relating to Libya, including over 500 pages of emails to and from Blumenthal.

His involvement has been controversial because he had been rejected by the Obama administration for a top job under Clinton but had a back channel to her, while simultaneously pursuing private business interests in Libya. She forwarded some of his emails to other top officials.

Adding to the congressional probes and an FBI inquiry, Clinton has also been plagued by a slew of lawsuits filed by conservative groups and news outlets that have led to their own document releases from her email trove, including a monthly release ordered by a federal judge. Her campaign has struggled to keep up with the steady diet of daily developments that keep the issue in the news.

The FBI’s inquiry focuses not on Clinton specifically but on how classified information made its way into Clinton’s email account. It is unclear whether investigators have focused on the CIA source issue Gowdy highlighted. Still, in such situations, any investigation—particularly any criminal investigation-- usually zeroes in on who in government disclosed that kind of information, rather than who received it after it escaped government control, experts said.

“Drumheller could have gotten in trouble if this is true [but] the further you go down that chain, the less significant it is,” said Steven Aftergood, a classified information expert with the Federation of American Scientists. “The Blumenthal factor is a bit of a wild card because he is a non government interlocutor who is connecting other parts of government to each other….He doesn’t into any regulatory scheme for controlling classified information.”

Drumheller died in August. Blumenthal’s attorney did not respond to an email Sunday seeking comment for this story.

Republicans say the incident is another indication that Clinton was cavalier in handling information that was or should have been classified, but Aftergood said he’s not sure from the public facts if Clinton did anything wrong.

“Is Clinton implicated in demonstrating bad judgment? It’s harder to say. I think she presumed her communications with Blumenthal were confidential in the first place even if they were not on an encrypted, secure line. She was the secretary of state not the classification police,” Aftergood added.

Some information has emerged from the Benghazi committee and two Senate panels probing aspects of Clinton’s email setup.

The campaign has also been buffeted by disclosures in the nearly 40 Freedom of Information lawsuits pending in federal court,.

Most of the suits were filed by two conservative groups long at odds with Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton—Judicial Watch and Citizens United.

The Clinton campaign’s strategy for handling the email mess has evolved in recent months, passing through three distinct phases. At the outset of the controversy, Clinton insisted she’d done nothing wrong, and she sometimes treated the issue as a joke.

This approach was epitomized by her response at an August press

conference where she was asked if her email server had been wiped of all the emails her lawyers deemed were personal and she replied: “What with a cloth or something?”

The second phase, triggered by slumping poll numbers, involved greater contrition and an acknowledgment that many potential Clinton supporters had concerns about her decision to put the entirety of her email records as secretary of state on a private server.

Clinton conceded that her decision to do that was a “mistake,” while Clinton’s aides also took on a proactive effort to publicly litigate the facts, including through a web video that tackled alleged misstatements in news accounts about the furor.

The third phase of Clinton response, and the one the candidate is expected to display at Tuesday night’s debate, has shown increased combativeness, illustrated by Clinton’s angry reaction when asked by an interviewer last week about the email aspect of the Benghazi probe.

“Look at the situation they chose to exploit to go after me political reasons the death of four Americans in Benghazi,” Clinton said sharply on NBC’s “Today Show.” “This committee was set up as they have admitted for the purpose of making a partisan political issue out of the deaths of four Americans.

By REBECCA EVERETT @GazetteRebecca Daily Hampshire Gazette NORTHAMPTON — In a now familiar dance, attorneys in the case of Cara Rintala argued Friday whether the court should set a date for her third trial on a charge of murder, or delay it while the state’s Supreme Judicial Court hears a defense appeal to prevent another trial.

Cara Rintala is accused of strangling her wife, Annamarie Rintala, in their Granby home in March 2010. She has pleaded not guilty and was released on $150,000 bail after trials in 2013 and 2014 ended in deadlocked juries.

In Hampshire Superior Court on Friday, Judge Bertha D. Josephson did not set a third trial date as First Assistant Northwestern District Attorney Steven E. Gagne had requested, but asked the attorneys to come back to court Nov. 16 for another status update.

Cara Rintala’s attorney, David Hoose of Northampton, appealed first to Hampshire Superior Court and then to the Supreme Judicial Court, arguing that a third trial should not be allowed because there has never been enough evidence for a jury to find her guilty. Hampshire Superior Court Judge MaryLou Rup denied his appeal, and in May so did Supreme Judicial Court Justice Margot Botsford, who issued a single justice decision. In July, Hoose’s request that his appeal be heard by the full bench of justices was granted, and he filed a brief explaining his position Sept. 24.

Gagne said in court that he will file his response within 30 days, and the two attorneys will likely argue the matter in January or February. He asked Josephson to set a trial date of April 2016. Gagne said if the court waits until after the appeal is heard, the trial could get pushed until late 2016 or even 2017.

Hoose filed a motion to stay the case, telling Josephson that it does not make sense to set a trial date and continue working on the case if it could be thrown out by the higher court.

Josephson allowed his motion to stay only until the Nov. 16 status hearing. She waived Rintala’s appearance on that date.

Rebecca Everett can be reached at reverett@gazettenet.com.

CLARIFICATION: A story that ran in the Saturday, Oct. 3 edition, "City man faces new charges after cop’s condition worsen," should have stated that while the defense signed off on Victor Guzman receiving one year probabtion (with charges continued without finding) on the seven original charges stemming from his May arrest, the prosecution wasn't ready to make a plea until it had a chance to review Westfield Police Officer Megan Bartlett's medical file. Guzman will be in court on December 11 facing the original seven charges plus the new charge of assault and battery with bodily injury, brought forth by Westfield police on Sept. 29.

September crime stats

By CHRISTINE CHARNOSKY Staff Writer WESTFIELD – For the month of September, crime stats remain similar overall to the previous two months with some variations in ages (more offenders in their 30s and less in their 40s) and some increases in types of crimes such as larcenies and OUIs. Disclaimer: the analysis included here is for court cases that were available and included in the Westfield News during September 2015. This is not a complete list of all cases that have gone before the judge in the past month. Additionally, this includes arraignments, people who have been charged but not yet tried, along with cases that have reached disposition, meaning the defendants may have received sentences, probation, fines or had charges dismissed.

Of 121 cases examined, 83 percent of the offenders were male, 17 percent were female.

The average age of offenders changed somewhat from the previous two months.

For those aged 18-20, 10 percent, up from 8 percent for July and August, of offenders fall within this age range. This difference could be attributed to college students returning to

the area.

Thirty-six percent of offenders were aged 21-29, which is average compared to the previous two months.

The second highest number of crimes were committed (or allegedly committed) by offenders in their 30s, 31 percent, up from 22 percent last month.

As expected, the number of offenses decreases as age increases: offenders in their 40s, 13 percent down from 17 percent in August and 23 percent in July; offenders in their 50s, 8 percent and 60s or older, 2 percent.

Most offenders are charged with more than one crime. For this analysis the first offense was counted, which may or may not be related to other offenses with which the suspect was charged.

For the sake of analysis here, the charges have been grouped into seven categories, and are listed by frequency: Motor vehicle (including any offense while operating a motor vehicle, excluding operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol): 27 percent, down from 38 percent last month.

BUSINESSFINANCIAL Unique fundraiser at the farm, studio of Josh Simpson to benefit WSU Scholarship SHELBURNE FALLS — The Westfield State Foundation will host “Josh Simpson: Up Close and Personal,” a benefit event at the home of internationally known glass artist Josh Simpson in Shelburne Falls from 1 pm to 4 pm on Saturday October 24.

With limited tickets available, the afternoon’s activities will include a wine and cheese reception, a special glass blowing demonstration, a personal tour of Simpson’s studio and a visit to the Salmon Falls Gallery, where his works are exhibited and sold. Optional transportation to and from the campus of Westfield State will also be provided.

The event will benefit the Josh Simpson/ Cady Coleman Scholarship for Art and Science Education, which was established to honor Josh and his wife, astronaut and chemist Cady Coleman, who were awarded honorary doctorates at the university’s commencement ceremony in May 2014.

One of Western Massachusetts most renowned artists, Simpson is represented at the Smithsonian Institute, the Boston Museum of Fine Art, the Corning Museum of Glass, the Yale University Art Gallery and museums in Prague, New Zealand, Spain, Switzerland and Canada. Public Television has also produced two documentaries on his craftsmanship.

“This event provides a very rare opportunity to witness the artistry of Josh Simpson, as he opens his furnaces for the first time since springtime,” said Michael Knapik, Executive Director of the Foundation.

“Thanks to Josh’s generosity, a select group of folks will be welcomed to Josh’s beautiful farm and studio, which has magnificent views of the

JOSH SIMPSON Berkshire Hills in autumn,” Knapik continued.

There are two ticket options for the fundraiser. $125 tickets include the reception, glass-blowing demonstration, tour of the studio, gallery visit, optional transportation as well as entry into a drawing for a Josh Simpson “Megaplanet” to be awarded after the demonstration. $250 tickets include a gourmet harvest lunch with Simpson in his farmhouse at noon, prior to the afternoon’s activities. It also includes two tickets for the Megaplanet drawing, optional transportation and a special Josh Simpson remembrance, valued at $75.

“In these particularly challenging financial

times, the Westfield State Foundation is indebted to Josh Simpson as a valued partner, who knows well the importance of scholarship assistance in the lives of our students, “ explained Knapik. “All proceeds from this unique fundraiser will be donated to the Josh Simpson/ Cady Coleman Scholarship Fund, which will be awarded to students, pursuing careers in art and science education.”

Reservations may be made online at westfieldalumni.org/JoshSimpson or by contacting Advancement Officer Bob Plasse at 485-7363 or at rplasse@westfield.ma.edu.

THE WESTFIELD STATE FOUNDATION Established in 1980 as a public-private partnership, The Westfield State Foundation began when a committee comprised of area business and community leaders came together to build what is now the Albert and Amelia Ferst Interfaith Center. Since then, the Foundation has continued to support all aspects of life at the University – scholarship assistance, grants, professional development, cultural, artistic and athletic programming, financial aid, campus improvements and civic engagement.

At their October 7 meeting, the school committee unanimously voted to return a slightly modified budget to the towns for reconsideration and approval. The bottom line of the budget has not changed, but some of the line item amounts have changed slightly based upon transfers (also approved by the school committee). This follows ongoing discussion by the committee on mitigation funding (at the time of the vote, this had been approved by the House) and the court case against Worthington, with each having the potential to drastically change the budget and town assessments. By the time of the next special town meetings (the towns have 45 days from the school committee meeting to hold their meetings), we are hopeful that we will have resolution to both the mitigation funding and the immediate future of the lawsuit, allowing for more certainty and the potential to lower the town assessments.

We also began the first step in the development of the 2016-2017 year budget

DR. DAVID HOPSON (FY’17) with the school committee by briefly reviewing where the district is, what basic considerations should be met when developing budgets for education, and potential ways to move forward.

This presentation was in the form of a short video that is now posted on the district’s website under the quicklinks for video gallery as well as in school committee presentations. We’re hopeful that we can get some general direction by the committee to help us develop a budget that is able to meet student needs, town finances, and school committee expectations.

In addition, the school committee discussed estab-

lishing an ‘Other Post Employment Benefits’ (OPEB) trust fund. The committee set aside money to begin funding our $12 million liability this June; that money is in a ‘holding’ account until the committee selects a trust that is approved by the state and federal governments. At this point, the committee has received information about a company that has set up a number of OPEB trusts across the country; information about two other options; and some recommendations from the district’s attorneys. This information was also shared with town officials immediately after the September school committee meeting so that town officials could review the trust documents before the school committee takes a vote. While there is a significant amount of material to review, I’m hopeful that the committee will be able to move forward with establishing a trust so that the funds that they already put aside for this purpose can begin working for the district. While this is an ‘irrevocable’ trust, the

money put into such a trust could be taken out to pay for retirement health insurance (the purpose that it was set aside for). The basic idea is to begin funding a trust and allowing that money to grow so that the district’s unfunded liability in this area will eventually be funded. However, if the need arises due to a particularly difficult time, the money now being paid to fund retiree health insurance on a ‘pay as you go’ basis could be replaced with money in the OPEB trust. While there always seems to be budgetary concerns with all levels of government, it does seem reasonable to at least consider setting aside some surplus when it is available to begin offsetting a growing unfunded liability.

Just as a reminder, the district survey for the Gateway 2025 Planning Process is open and we will be accepting input until October 23. A link to the survey may be found on our website (www. grsd.org) under the quicklinks, and we invite everyone to take part.

that, and if I were President and there were Republicans or Democrats who were thinking about that, I would have done everything to shut it down.”

The Clinton campaign has also gone after not only Gowdy’s Benghazi probe but the email-related inquiries being led by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.). The campaign’s statements say all the probes are partisan and illegitimate, in part because they’re treading on the same ground being covered by the FBI. “Ron Johnson is ripping a page from the House Benghazi Committee’s playbook and mounting his own, taxpayer-funded sham of an investigation with the sole purpose of attacking Hillary Clinton politically,” Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon said last week. “The Justice Department’s independent review is led by nonpolitical, career professionals, and Ron Johnson has no business interfering with it for his own partisan ends.”

In an interview aired Sunday night, President Barack Obama rejected the laugh-it-off approach, while also appearing to fault the GOP and, perhaps, the press as well for obsessing about the issue.

“I think that this was a mistake that she has acknowledged,” Obama told CBS’ “60 Minutes.” “I do think that the way it’s been ginned-up is in part because of--in part-- because of politics. And I think she’d be the first to acknowledge that maybe she could have handled the original decision better and the disclosures more quickly. ... This is one of those issues that I think is legitimate, but the fact that for the last three months this is all that’s been spoken about is an indication that we’re in presidential political season.”

Obama also said he did not believe Clinton’s decision to use the private email account posed a national security risk.

The more confrontational Clinton strategy seems spurred in part by opportunity. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) created a huge opening for Clinton when he said last month that Clinton’s “numbers are dropping” as a direct result of the Benghazi’s committee exposure of her exclusive use of private email as secretary of state. The campaign turned those comments into a TV ad blasting the Benghazi probe as shamelessly partisan.

The Clinton campaign got another gift Sunday when CNN aired an interview with a former Benghazi committee staffer, Bradley Podliska, who said he was fired from the panel in part for rebuffing pressure to focus on Clinton rather than the broader issues involved in the attack on U.S. facilities in Benghazi in 2012. Podliska called the probe “a partisan investigation” that was shortchanging the families of the four Americans killed in the attack.

Gowdy denied Podliska’s allegations, but the Clinton camp jumped on the claim as more evidence of bias in the House inquiry.

The more heated response from Clinton and her team also appears linked to the complexity of putting forward a fact-based rebuttal while the facts relating to the email saga continue to shift.

In recent weeks, it has emerged that the Pentagon found Clintonemail.com messages from Clinton predating the March 19, 2009 date her aides said she began using that account.

September

Continued from Page 5

Assault and battery (including violations of abuse prevention orders): 21 percent as compared to 25 percent of offenses in August and 18 percent in July.

Larceny, theft and breaking and entering, shoplifting: 17 percent of all crimes for September up from 10 percent of August’s offenses.

Disorderly conduct, destruction of property, trespass and related offenses: 14 percent, (9 percent in August, 14 percent in July).

Operating a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol (OUI): 10 percent up from 8 percent last month.

Drug-related offenses were 8 percent, up from 7 percent in August and 5 percent in July.

Sex crimes, which included one rape charge (same case/defendant as last month), child pornography (possessing and distrib-

uting) charges plus one defendant charged with open and gross lewdness, 3 percent.

So in sum, types of offense, in order of frequency: motor vehicle (without OUIs), 27 percent; assault and battery, 21 percent; larceny, 17 percent; disorderly conduct, 14 percent; OUIs, 10 percent; drugs 8 percent; and sex crimes, 3 percent.

Here are some facts regarding OUIs in the Commonwealth: Driving under the influence of liquor is when a driver’s blood alcohol level is: 0.08 percent for those 21 years of age or old driving a regular passenger vehicle; 0.04 percent for those driving a commercial vehicle; 0.02 percent for drivers under the age of 21.

Refusal to take a breathalyzer test results in an immediate 180-day license suspension

for a first offense, 3-year loss of license for a second offense and a 5-year loss of license for a third offense.

Having an open container of alcohol in a vehicle is a crime, no matter who is holding it, can result in a $100-$500 fine, according to dui.drivinglaws.org.

OUIs don’t just include liquor but also drugs.

Even though the “Act for the Humanitarian Medical Use of Marijuana” passed in 2012, operating a motor vehicle under the influence of marijuana is still a criminal offense, regardless of whether a driver has the right to use medicinal marijuana, according to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Driver’s Manual released in April 2015 found at massrmv.com, states.

Corsairs sink WSU in OT WESTFIELD – Senior forward Jill Levrault (Somerset-Berkley/ Somerset, Mass.) scored both goals, including the game-winner in overtime as UMass Dartmouth rallied for a 2-1 win over Westfield State in a Little East Conference field hockey game at Alumni Field on Saturday night.

Westfield took a 1-0 lead on its only shot on-goal in regulation, as junior midfielder Meg Doherty (Mansfield/Mansfield, Mass.) drove to the cage, stopped and pivoted back to her right and lifted a shot with a backhand to the left side netting for a 1-0 Owls lead.

Levrault leveled the game at 1-1 halfway through the second half with a hard shot from eight yards out after she gathered a loose ball that came in from the top of the circle.

The game went to overtime tied at 1-1.

Westfield’s Rachel Bunce (Dennis Yarmouth/East Dennis, Mass.) first shot on goal of overtime with 9:50 left, which was saved by Corsairs’ goalkeeper Allison Burke (Franklin/ Franklin, Mass.).

One minute and seven seconds later Levrault drove into circle and uncorked the game winner from eight yards out beating sliding Owls’ goal-

keeper Megan Fountaine (Scituate/ Scituate, Mass.) who came out of net aggressively to challenge the shot.

Fountaine had been the equalizer in net for Westfield all night, making 12 saves in goal.

UMass Dartmouth had a 24-5 edge in total shots and a 17-0 advantage in penalty corners.

Westfield is now 6-5, 4-2 in the Little East Conference. UMass Dartmouth is 10-3, 6-1.

Westfield will host Smith in a nonconference game on Tuesday night at 7:00 p.m., while UMass Dartmouth will host Plymouth next Saturday.

WESTFIELD – Westfield State and Framingham State battled to a 1-1 draw in a key midseason Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference women’s soccer matchup at Alumni Field on Friday night.

Westfield is now 6-4-1 on the season, 3-0-1 in the MASCAC. Framingham is 6-4-2, 1-1-2 in the MASCAC. Westfield opened the scoring in the 42nd minute when Amanda Magri (Ashland/Ashland, Mass.) blasted a shot from the top of the penalty area to the right upper 90 after the Rams failed to clear the ball after the Owls’ Nicole Gay (Smith Academy/Hatfield, Mass.) attempted to cross the ball from the end line.

Framingham got the goal that leveled the match in the 54th minute, applying offensive pressure with an initial shot that was saved

by Owls goalkeeper Natalia Falcone (Sutton/Sutton, Mass.), but the rebound came out to the right side of the net where the Rams’ Michaela Hyland (East Longmeadow/East Longmeadow, Mass.) played the ball on a back heel out to Angela Palotta (Clinton/ Sterling, Mass.) about eight yards out and she hit a hard looping shot that just eluded the outstretched leap of Falcone to find the twine.

Westfield applied steady offensive pressure throughout the match with a 14-5 edge in total shots and a 7-3 advantage in corner kicks. The Owls had two golden opportunities slide by the board in the first half when both Ashley Bovat (Westfield/Westfield, Mass.) and Hannah Zannini (Amesbury/Amesbury, Mass.) broke through the defense with dangerous, clean shots, but both sailed high.

The story of the match was the play of Rams goalkeeper Sara Sullivan (North Quincy/Quincy, Mass.), who managed six saves, but came off her line aggressively to punch away serves and crosses, and several times to slide to reel in Owls’ through balls just a half step ahead of the Owls’ attackers to keep Framingham squarely in the match. Sullivan punched away three dangerous crosses in the second overtime alone.

Falcone stopped two shots for Westfield. Both teams generated some offensive pressure in the overtime, with each team gaining two corners in the extra frame, but neither team put a shot on net in the extra session.

Westfield will play host to local rival Western New England next Wednesday at 7:00 p.m., while Framingham will next host Wentworth on Wednesday at 4:00 p.m.

Brady, Pats leave Cowboys with QB question after 30-6 win

By SCHUYLER DIXON AP Sports Writer ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Once Tom Brady stopped getting sacked, he had little trouble putting away the short-handed Cowboys.

As for what Dallas does at quarterback in at least four more games without Tony Romo, that's an open question after a 30-6 loss to Brady and the New England Patriots on Sunday.

Brady threw for two second-half touchdowns and ran in his first rushing TD in almost three years after enduring five sacks in the first half, and the Patriots pulled away from a Dallas offense left powerless without Romo and star receiver Dez Bryant.

"Have you seen him play for the last 15 years?" receiver Julian Edelman, who had a 59-yard touchdown catch for a 27-6 lead early in the fourth quarter, said of Brady. "He's pretty tough. I don't think anyone underrates his toughness."

The Super Bowl champion Patriots (4-0) won their seventh straight game going back to the playoffs last year. The Cowboys (2-3) lost their third in a row without Romo and Bryant.

Coach Jason Garrett said the Cowboys would evaluate the quarterback spot during their upcoming bye after Brandon Weeden went 26 of 39 for 188 mostly meaningless yards. The Dallas running game also was mostly ineffective until it was too late.

Weeden's backup is now Matt Cassel, who used to be the No. 2 behind Brady in New England.

Cassel was active for the first time since a trade

By The Associated Press BENGALS 27, SEAHAWKS 24 CINCINNATI (AP) — Andy Dalton led the Bengals from a 17-point fourth-quarter deficit to a 27-24 overtime victory on Sunday over the Seattle Seahawks, keeping Cincinnati undefeated with the second-biggest comeback in its history.

Trailing 24-7 as the fourth quarter started, Dalton threw for a touchdown, ran for another and led the Bengals on a 69-yard drive without a timeout. Mike Nugent tied it with a 31-yard field goal on the final play of regulation.

Nugent was good again from 42 yards with 3:36 left in overtime, the ball deflecting off the left upright before going through. It matched the second-biggest comeback in Cincinnati’s history when trailing in the fourth quarter.

The Bengals are 5-0 for the first time since 1988, the last time they went to the Super Bowl.

Seattle (2-3) punted twice in overtime, giving the Bengals a chance to pull it out.

FALCONS 25, REDSKINS 19, OT ATLANTA (AP) — Robert Alford returned an interception 59 yards for a touchdown, keeping the Falcons unbeaten.

The Redskins had the first possession of OT, and Kirk Cousins moved the team to midfield. When wide receiver Ryan Grant slipped on a pass route, Alford caught Cousins’ pass and was left with open field down the Falcons’ sideline for the touchdown.

Devonta Freeman’s apparent 13-yard TD catch in the final minute of regulation was ruled incomplete on a review.

Freeman scored on 6-yard run two plays later to give Atlanta a 19-16 lead. Dustin Hopkins’ 52-yard field goal on the final play of regulation forced overtime.

The Falcons (5-0) overcame two interceptions and a lost fumble by Matt Ryan. Freeman had 27 carries for 153 yards and the touchdown.

The Redskins (2-3) were denied their attempt for their first back-to-back wins in almost a year — since Weeks 7 and 8 in 2014.

GIANTS 30, 49ERS 27 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Larry Donnell’s spectacular catch over two 49ers with 21 seconds remaining lifted New York past San Francisco, capping Eli Manning’s sensational clutch performance.

Manning had a career-best 41 completions and his perfect throw to Donnell finished off an 82-yard drive with a 12-yard touchdown. It made him the winningest quarterback in team history with 102.

New York (3-2) has won three straight and leads the NFC East. San Francisco (1-4) has lost four in a row.

Carlos Hyde’s 2-yard run with 1:45 remaining gave the 49ers the lead. But on a night of huge plays and lengthy drives, Manning had the topper.

BROWNS 33, RAVENS 30, OT BALTIMORE (AP) — Travis Coons kicked a 32-yard field goal in overtime and Josh McCown threw for a team-record 457 yards.

Cleveland (2-3) had lost 13 of the previous 14 meetings between these AFC North foes, but in this one the Browns rallied from a 12-point deficit to leave the Ravens (1-4) alone in the division cellar.

Playing its second straight overtime game, Baltimore went

with Buffalo on Sept. 22.

"I don't want to talk about it. I'm going to let my play do the talking," Weeden said. "I think that I played well coming into it. Those are their decisions. That's what their role is. My role is to play football and be ready."

While Romo can't return until the 10th game at the earliest, Bryant could be back for the Cowboys' next game in two weeks at the New York Giants.

Bryant had an injection last week to try to speed the healing of his broken right foot, an injury sustained in the season opener. Romo went down a week later.

"It would be a complete guess, but he certainly has the time for the bone to heal," owner Jerry Jones said.

Things to consider after Brady, in his 16th season, joined Peyton Manning and Fran Tarkenton as the only NFL quarterbacks with 4-0 starts at least four times: GETTING TO BRADY: The 38-year-old hasn't been sacked more than five times in the regular season since Buffalo had seven in 2001, the year he took over as the starter and won the first of four Super Bowls.

The first two sacks came from linebacker Rolando McClain and defensive end Greg Hardy, both making their season debuts after four-game suspensions.

Hardy, who had a second sack that forced a fumble recovered for a short gain by the Patriots, made headlines during the week for commenting on Brady's supermodel wife, Gisele Bundchen, after

three-and-out on the first possession of the extra session.

McCown then used more than seven minutes to move the Browns 51 yards before Coons kicked his fourth field goal with 6:43 left in OT. McCown completed 36 of 51 passes with two touchdowns in becoming the first quarterback in Browns history with three straight 300-yard games. He broke the team record of 444 yards passing set by Brian Sipe on Oct. 25, 1981, against the Baltimore Colts.

PACKERS 24, RAMS 10 GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers threw for two touchdowns and 241 yards, but his impressive string of not being intercepted at Lambeau Field ended.

Rodgers was 19 of 30 for 241 yards with long scoring strikes to receivers Ty Montgomery and James Jones. But NFL-record streaks of 587 pass attempts and 49 touchdown passes at home without an interception for Rodgers ended in the first quarter on linebacker James Laurinaitis’ diving pick of a tipped ball for the Rams (2-3).

Rodgers threw another interception in the second quarter before losing a fumble in the third.

Relentless pressure on quarterback Nick Foles helped keep the Packers (5-0) unbeaten. Foles threw a career-worst four interceptions, two in the fourth quarter inside the Packers 10.

Rookie cornerback Quinten Rollins returned an interception 45 yards for a touchdown for a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, and picked off another pass at the 7 with 23 seconds left.

BRONCOS 16, RAIDERS 10 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Chris Harris Jr. returned a fourth-quarter interception 74 yards for a touchdown and the Broncos overcame a shaky day from Peyton Manning.

Manning was intercepted twice by 1998 draft classmate Charles Woodson and failed to lead the Broncos (5-0) to an offensive touchdown for the second time in five games this season. But Denver’s defense made sure it didn’t matter, getting a third defensive touchdown of 2015.

Derek Carr threw for 249 yards and one touchdown for the Raiders (2-3), but was done in by the interception midway through the fourth quarter with Oakland in position for a possible go-ahead field goal.

The Raiders added a late 50-yard field goal by Sebastian Janikowski following a 48-yard pass interference penalty on Bradley Roby, but Denver recovered the onside kick.

Manning finished 22 for 35 for 266 yards, was sacked twice and had two interceptions. Denver ran for only 43 yards.

This was Denver’s second-lowest scoring regular season with Manning as quarterback, ahead of only a seven-point effort last year against St. Louis.

CARDINALS 42, LIONS 17 DETROIT (AP) — Carson Palmer threw for three touchdowns, while Matthew Stafford was benched after throwing a third interception.

The Cardinals (4-1) have a two-game lead in the NFC West.

The Lions (0-5) have the dubious distinction of being the NFL’s only winless team and are off to their worst start since becoming the league’s only 0-16 team in 2008.

Palmer was poised and efficient, completing 11 of 14 passes for 161 yards, with a 14-yard pass to Darren Fells, an 18-yard connection to John Brown, and a 2-yard strike to Larry Fitzgerald for scores.

BEARS 18, CHIEFS 17 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jay Cutler led the Bears to a

being suspended because the NFL believed he roughed up his former girlfriend last year.

McClain, who was out for violating the league's substance-abuse policy, had the first sack.

"Those are two great players," said Brady, who threw for 275 yards, about 96 fewer than he averaged in the first three games for the league's No. 1 offense. "They add 'em to the mix and they've got a defense."

WOE IS WEEDEN: The third start in place of Romo was the roughest for Weeden, who has lost 11 straight as a starter going back to his time as a firstround draft pick in Cleveland. The Cowboys had just 59 yards at halftime, and trailed 20-3 before their first long drive, which ended with the second of their two field goals late in the third quarter.

SNEAKY: Brady's 1-yard sneak to put New England ahead for good in the second quarter was his first rushing TD since Dec. 16, 2012, when he had the last of his career-high four that season. It was the 15th of his career.

MISSING THE CENTURY MARK: The Cowboys are still without an individual 100-yard rusher after letting NFL rushing champion DeMarco Murray go to Philadelphia in free agency. It's the longest such drought to start the season for Dallas since 2005.

LONG KICK: New England's Stephen Gostkowski extended his NFL-best streak of made field goals to 19 with three, including a career-long of 57 yards in the final seconds of the first half. His previous long was 54.

pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns, the second an alert toss to Matt Forte with 18 seconds left.

Kansas City lost star running back Jamaal Charles to a potentially season-ending right knee injury.

Chicago (2-3) trailed 17-3 early in the third quarter when Charles went down while trying to make a cut. The preliminary diagnosis was a torn ACL and Charles will have an MRI exam Monday.

The Bears quickly seized the momentum.

After Robbie Gould’s second field goal got them going, Cutler led an 88-yard drive that he capped with a 22-yard strike to Marquess Wilson with 3:05 left. The 2-point conversion came up short, but the Bears defense responded by forcing a quick three-and-out.

With help from a pass interference call on Chiefs rookie Marcus Peters, the Bears quickly moved downfield. That’s when Cutler took a snap from the shotgun, dropped the ball, picked it up and spotted Forte running past safety Husain Abdullah in the end zone for the go-ahead score.

EAGLES 39, SAINTS 17 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Sam Bradford overcame two red-zone interceptions and threw for 333 yards and two touchdowns, Fletcher Cox forced two fumbles on sacks.

Ryan Mathews and DeMarco Murray each rushed for touchdowns to help the Eagles (2-3) break out of their offensive slump. They snapped a three-game losing streak at home that dated to last season.

Drew Brees had three turnovers leading to 17 points for Philadelphia, and the Saints fell to 1-4 a week after an overtime win against Dallas.

BILLS 14, TITANS 13 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tyrod Taylor threw a touchdown pass, ran for another and even caught a pass in rallying the Bills.

With their top two running backs and top wide receiver injured, Taylor ran for 77 yards as the Bills (3-2) snapped a five-game skid against Tennessee.

Taylor ran for a 22-yard TD late in the third quarter after a 26-yard run that was Buffalo’s biggest play of the game.

Taylor also scrambled for 24 more on third-and-23 from the Bills 7, jumpstarting an 80-yard drive he capped with a 2-yard TD pass to Chris Hogan. Taylor caught a 4-yard pass from Hogan to set up that TD. Stephon Gilmore intercepted Marcus Mariota’s pass with 1:32 left to seal the win.

BUCCANEERS 38, JAGUARS 31 TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Doug Martin ran for 123 yards and scored three touchdowns, helping Jameis Winston rebound from his worst pro performance.

The Bucs (2-3) snapped an 11-game home losing streak that dated to December 2013, the same month the Jaguars (1-4) began an equally agonizing road skid that now stands at 12.

Winston threw for 209 yards and one touchdown without an interception, redeeming himself after turning the ball over five times in a 14-point loss to Carolina last week.

Blake Bortles passed for 303 yards and four TDs, but also threw an interception that set up a Bucs touchdown. The Jaguars gave up a 58-yard punt return that led to Martin’s 10-yard TD reception, and rookie Corey Grant lost a thirdquarter fumble that defensive end Jacquies Smith returned 3 yards for a score that put Tampa Bay ahead for good.

Annie’s Mailbox

By KATHY MITCHELL and MARCY SUGAR

Frustrated ...

Dear Annie: I have been married to “Pam” for 16 years.

During the last nine, she has gradually become a totally different person. She has gained a lot of weight, but that’s not the real issue. It’s everything that goes with it. Pam has successfully lost weight through healthier eating and exercise -- multiple times. She gains energy, is more active in our kids’ lives, enjoys time with family and friends and seems happier. But as soon as she starts to show real results, she gives up.

This latest bout was the worst. With the exception of doctors’ appointments, she no longer leaves the house. I find myself being both mother and father to the kids, doing most of the housework and also taking care of Pam. She no longer attends any of the kids’ school events. I work nights and am always having to cut sleep short to do things that she could easily do.

On top of that, Pam gets angry with me and everyone else for seemingly no reason at all, and then claims that we’re the ones snapping at her. I don’t argue with her about anything these days, but she looks to pick a fight all the time.

Two years ago, she accused me of having an affair (I wasn’t). Frankly, I’ve lost all interest in intimacy with anyone.

We had a long talk, and I was completely honest and told her that I am no longer attracted to her because I don’t feel like her husband. I feel like her chaperone.

I still love Pam because she is the mother of our children. A divorce scares me, not only because of the financial issues, but also because my youngest child would be devastated. (The other kids wonder why we are still together.) Should I wait until the youngest is older? Would a divorce open Pam’s eyes?

I’m not sure I’d trust her to follow through, no matter what she says. -- Struggling in New York Dear New York: We think Pam is depressed, and there also could be a medical issue that results in her sabotaging her weight-loss efforts and her relationships. Can you go with Pam to her next doctor’s appointment and mention this? It could be a hormonal imbalance. If necessary, would she be willing to discuss it with her physician and get a referral to a therapist?

You both seem terribly unhappy. Counseling for either of you would help.

Dear Annie: “Stressed on the Line,” says her self-centered mother also has hearing issues. She should gradually replace her mother’s telephone with equipment for the hard-of-hearing. Even when I was in my 30s and reluctant to be seen wearing a hearing aid, I used a telephone with a handset that sounded almost like a speakerphone to friends with good ears.

She can find them through some office equipment stores, electronic stores or online, or ask the local health department for assistance. Once she takes care of the hearing issue, she can work on her mother’s self-centeredness. -- B. Dear B.: Some folks who are hard of hearing do not realize that there is equipment that can amplify the sound of a normal landline phone. Thanks for mentioning it.

Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE A LACK OF FEEDBACK? Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, about customer service: “I have wondered why it is so difficult to engage American companies in a two-way conversation. It seems to be somewhere between difficult and impossible to provide companies with feedback on products and services.” -Chris C., via email Chris, sorry, but I can’t agree with you. At no time has it been easier to contact a company. Most have a website, which usually has contact information -- sometimes only an email, but many times a phone number, also. A lot of products do have a toll-free phone number on the label itself.

Whether they listen or respond to you is another matter! -Heloise CLEANING WOOD BLINDS Dear Heloise: I read your column in The Washington Post and desperately need your help. I have wooden-slat blinds. I have tried oil soap and baby wipes, but I cannot get them clean.

Can you please help? -- Marie M., via fax Help is here. Cleaning wooden blinds shouldn’t be hard!

Baby wipes are OK, but may leave a residue (oily, depending on the wipe), which will attract more dust and cause it to stick more! The oil “soap” is what I use, and it’s never failed me.

Are they just dusty? Coated with a gummy sort of residue?

Are they painted, or raw wood? Painted should be a zip to clean. If they are unpainted wood, try this: Use a microfiber cloth dipped into just warm water. Wring it out, and run it over one slat. Go both ways, back and forth. If you see “dirt” on the cloth, then proceed.

If it’s that sticky stuff, then go back to the wood soap. Don’t overwet, and be sure to rinse off, then dry well. Test one-half of a blind and see which method works best for you! -- Heloise P.S.: Use the upholstery attachment with the brush to “suck” dust off the blinds!

Author links old New England rituals to vampires

By CRAIG SEMON Telegram & Gazette STURBRIDGE (AP) — Since the publication of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” in 1897, vampires (aka mystical beings that subsist by feeding on the life essence of living creatures) have been part of our popular culture.

Michael E. Bell, author of “Food for the Dead: On the New England’s Vampire,” says he has unearthed unholy evidence that a form of “vampirism” existed in New England as far back as 1784 and was killing people at an alarming rate.

Bell — who plans to give a lecture titled “In the Vampire’s Grasp: Narrating America’s Restless Dead” at Old Sturbridge Village — said the culprit wasn’t your typical Transylvanian or Bela Lugosi-variety blood sucker.

“The vampires that I’ve dealt with in New England, it was really a microbe. It was the tuberculosis germ,” Bell said on the phone from his Rhode Island home. “Literally, it sucked the blood out of them as their lungs rotted because of the disease.

So, people didn’t understand what was going on. They had a sense that it must be contagious because someone in their family would get sick and they would see them waste away. And they might come in the morning to see it progress and they have coughed up blood. So there would be blood on the corners of their mouths, blood on their bedclothes. And the reaction was, well, something’s obviously sucking the life blood out of our relatives.”

Even more horrifying than consumption was the Eastern European “folk remedy” New Englanders used to combat this lethal disease, Bell said.

“The remedy was to go out into the cemetery, exhume the body of the people in your family who have died already of this mysterious disease, examine the corpses, see which one might have liquid blood in one of their organs,” Bell said. “The liquid blood was interpreted as fresh blood. So the question would be how did this flesh blood get into this supposedly dead body? It must be taking the blood from the living people in the family.

So the folk remedy was to exorcise that particular organ and burn it to ashes.”

It didn’t stop at burning the diseased organs to ashes.

“Sometimes, the stipulation would be that the members of the family should eat the ashes,” Bell continued. “Other variants were just burn the entire corpse. And sometimes the stipulation would be to have the ill family members stand around and inhale the smoke or stand in the smoke and kind of fumigate themselves with it. Or even a more simple remedy was just turning the corpse faced down and rebury it.”

In New England, Bell said the earliest case of vampirism he discovered was 1784 in Wilmington, Connecticut, and the most recent case was in 1892 in Exeter, Rhode Island.

“The story attached to the New England examples really don’t go into details like the corpse actually leaving the grave or biting parts of the body and sucking the blood out,” Bell said.

“It’s more a folk medical practice. Here is the way you deal with consumption. But, it is what’s called vampirism, basically. And I can understand how consumption and vampires might be put together in some people’s minds because of the symptoms of consumption.”

In fact, it was the Exeter story that sparked Bell’s curiosity in the first place. A man he interviewed in the early ’80s told him the tale of Mercy Brown, whose body was exhumed, then her heart was cut out and burned to ashes.

“As a folklorist, I was very interested if this family story was just a legend or was it based on an actual event,” Bell said. “So I started doing research and I did find newspaper accounts from eyewitnesses describing Mercy Brown’s exhumation and her brother’s subsequent death by consumption. They were trying to save his life.”

One of the most fascinating stories Bell said he found involved the Congregational minister of Belchertown in 1788 having the bodies of his mother-in-law and daughter exhumed because another daughter was dying from consumption.

“You would think that this would be something that would be frowned upon by the clergy, by the religious institution,” Bell said. “And he (the minister) wrote a letter to a good friend of his and said, ‘We wonder if it was possible for the dead to be preying on the living?’ And, in the letter, he describes holding a council with family members and other leaders in the community and asking them, ‘Is it really possible?’”

In 1796 in Cumberland, Rhode Island, the town council gave a man permission to exhume the body of his daughter to “try an experiment to save the life of his living daughter,” who was dying of consumption, Bell said.

“Well, it didn’t say what kind of experiment it was but I can fill in the blank there,” Bell said. “But, once again, I think that’s an interesting, fascinating case because it shows an official sanctioning of that ritual.”

By the time Bell published “Food for the Dead” in 2001, the author found about 20 cases. Now, he said he’s approaching 100. In his research, Bell found the practice of this macabre “last-resort folk remedy when nothing else worked” was a lot more prevalent than people or, initially, the author realized.

“In the beginning, I had the feeling that this was like New England’s dirty little secret. But there’s nothing that little about it and it wasn’t secret,” Bell said. “There was a case in Vermont where the whole town turned out, something like 500 to a thousand people, to watch this woman’s heart be burned on the blacksmith scourge in the town square. When you have Congregational ministers and you have town council approving it and you have the whole town coming out to witness the event, then it’s not like it was being done out of sight and out of mind.

It wasn’t being kept so secret so much.”
