Newcomers win seats in Southampton

By CHRIS LINDAHL @cmlindahl Daily Hampshire Gazette SOUTHAMPTON — Voters shook up local government yesterday, selecting four new members to its two most powerful boards at the annual town election.

Newcomers elected to the Select Board are Charles J. Kaniecki and Shannon Cutler, both of whom defeated longtime incumbent member David McDougall in a threeway race for two seats. Kaniecki received 305 votes, Cutler 302 votes and McDougall 256 votes.

Hampshire Regional School Committee will also get two fresh faces in Margaret Larson and Tammy Walunas, who beat incumbent Joseph Moynahan in another three-way race for two seats. Larson received 311 votes, Walunas 296 votes and Moynahan 279 votes.

In the only other contested race, Jeffrey M. Dugas beat Charles D. Kaniecki for a threeyear seat on the Board of Health. Dugas received 301 votes while Charles D. Kaniecki received 175 votes.

Just under 12 percent of the town’s 4,339 registered voters came out to the polls, with 512 ballots cast. All of the elected positions are for three-year terms.

After being sworn in by Town Clerk Janine Domina at Town Hall Monday night, Charles J. Kaniecki, one of the Select Board winners and the father of Charles D. Kaniecki, said he feels gratified by the win.

“I’m looking forward to bringing the community together as a whole,” he said.

Charles J. Kaniecki, 62, is no stranger to government. He is the western Massachusetts district health officer for the state Department of Public Health, is the chairman of the Public Safety Complex Committee and has served in a number of other town positions throughout his life.

He said his work on the Public Safety Complex Committee might have contributed to the win. “I think (voters) all realized I have the town’s well-being at heart,” he said.

Cutler is also a familiar face in Town Hall.

Baker signs state employee retirement plan

By BOB SALSBERG Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Republican Gov. Charlie Baker on Monday signed into law a bill offering incentives to thousands of state employees to take early retirement, cutting the state’s payroll by an estimated $172 million in the next fiscal year.

Baker signed the bill hours after the House and the Senate, without debate, accepted compromise language that caps at 5,000 the number of executive branch workers who can opt for early retirement and allows the administration to designate certain critical positions that would be exempt from the program.

Eligible employees can apply for early retirement between May 11 and June 12.

Critics of the plan warned that early retirement could devastate key state agencies that would see a sudden wave of departures of highly experienced personnel. But the governor said he did not foresee major problems.

“I would remind everybody that this is the third time (Massachusetts) has done this in the course of the past 20 years and the two previous times about 4,500 people took advantage of a program like this and state government continued to do the work of the people,” Baker said

JDay races a concern for Southwick chief

By HOPE E. TREMBLAY Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – The Board of Selectmen made it clear last night they agree with Police Chief David Ricardi that JDay motocross racing must be toned down.

JDay is an extreme version of motocross racing which includes an offroad segment in the woods where riders must navigate over logs and other hurdles.

Ricardi expressed concern not about the style of the race, but the danger associated with JDay spectators.

“I was quite surprised at how dangerous it is,” said Ricardi. “I have nothing but good things to say about motocross, but when it comes to JDay, I have concerns about safety.”

Spectators are allowed in the woods and on the motocross track during the event.

“People are allowed on the track during the race and can even cross the track,” Ricardi said.

“Maybe we shouldn’t allow JDay races in Southwick.”

Police Lt. Kevin Bishop, a longtime motocross racer himself, said he did not

realize spectators were allowed on the motocross track. He said part of the draw of JDay races is that spectators can get close to racers in the woods but he did say he was at a JDay race last year in another town where a rider came out of the woods and hit six people.

Ricardi said the event is billed as an “extreme spectator sport” and he asked the board to reconsider allowing it in Southwick.

‘Jug handle’ special permit hearing slated

By DAN MORIARTY Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Planning Board will continue the public hearing requested

by Pride Limited Partnership to construct two fueling facilities in the area of the “Jug Handle” at the entrance of the Massachusetts Turnpike.

Robert L. Bolduc, the founder of Pride and engineering consultant John Furman of Springfield office of VHB, presented details of the complicated project which involves two separate property parcels, one for commercial vehicles and the other for passenger vehicles. Both parcels have frontage on Owen District Road and Friendly Way. The commercial truck facility will be located behind the Friendly’s Restaurant and given the designation as 33-39 Southampton Road. That site will primarily provide diesel fuel for commercial trucks, but will also have a compressed natural gas (CNG) pumping station which will be operated in conjunction with the Westfield Gas & Electric (WG&E) Department pending a public-private partnership agreement.

Bolduc said that CNG is the “fuel of the future” because it costs half of the price of diesel fuel and because CNG is 14 times cleaner than diesel. The commercial fueling station is designed to fill the saddle tanks of truck from both sides of the vehicle.

The passenger car fueling station across

Friendly Way from the commercial facility also will have an alternative fueling station proposed in conjunction with the WG&E Department, Bolduc said. The plan is to put a recharging station at the front of the passenger vehicle facility.

The passenger vehicle fueling facility would have to one-way entrances, one form Owen District Road (the jug handle) and the other from Friendly Way. There would be a second entrance and exit onto Owen District Road and a second entrance and exit, with a right turn only onto Friendly Way near the intersection with Owen District Road.

Furman said that much of the road improvement work will be triggered by the Mass Turnpike transition to electronic tolls, replacing the toll booth system with Fast Lane technology and cameras to record registration plates of vehicles, without Fast Lane transponders, entering and leaving the turnpike.

Residents were asking questions of fact when Board Chairman Philip McEwan called for a vote to continue the hearing to tonight when residents may continue to ask questions of Bolduc and Furman. That will be followed by the part of the hearing which allows residents to speak in favor or against a special permit proposal.

The board closed the public hearing for a special permit requested by Marc Hortie to erect an internally illuminated sign at See Special Permit Hearing, Page 3

Giant billowing aerial sculpture being installed in Boston BOSTON (AP) — Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s a giant aerial sculpture.

Workers will install a 600-foot colorful floating work by artist Janet Echelman high above the Rose Kennedy Greenway in Boston’s Financial District on Sunday.

The shimmering 1-ton fiber sculpture is designed to respond fluidly to the wind and weather. It will remain suspended between high-rise buildings through October.

Organizers say it will take four dozen workers up to 20 hours and a battery of cranes and scissor lifts to install the billowy piece.

Echelman is based in suburban Brookline. Her sculpture — which includes more than 100 miles of twine — is inspired by ancient fishing nets. She has installed similar works in Seattle; Madrid, Spain; Amsterdam, Netherlands; Sydney, Australia; and other cities.

Boston Marathon bomber shows emotion for 1st time at trial

By DENISE LAVOIE AP Legal Affairs Writer BOSTON (AP) — For the first time since his trial began four months ago, Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev dropped his blank, impassive demeanor and showed emotion as his Russian aunt sobbed uncontrollably and had to leave the witness stand.

Tsarnaev, 21, grabbed a tissue and repeatedly dabbed his eyes and cheeks while his aunt became so upset that she was unable to testify on his behalf as his lawyers try to persuade a federal jury to spare his life.

Tsarnaev had maintained an uninterested expression since his trial began in January, most of the time staring straight ahead and only occasionally glancing over at witnesses, including people who lost loved ones in the 2013 bombing.

His aunt, Patimat Suleimanova, cried as she sat down about 10 feet from Tsarnaev. She was only able to answer questions about her name, her year of birth and where she was born before she stepped down from the witness stand after she was unable to compose herself.

Five Russian relatives — three cousins and two aunts — took the witness stand for the defense. As Tsarnaev was led out of the courtroom before the lunch recess, he blew a kiss at the other aunt, who also cried during her testimony. The relatives all acknowledged they had not seen Tsarnaev since he was 8, when he moved to the U.S. with his family.

Testimony is scheduled to resume Tuesday.

Tsarnaev, who had lived in the former Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan and the Dagestan region of Russia, was convicted last month of 30 federal charges in the bombings, including 17 that carry the possibility of the death penalty. He moved to the U.S. in 2002 and committed the bombings, which killed three people and wounded 260 others, when he was 19.

Prosecutors say Tsarnaev and his radicalized older brother, Tamerlan, were equal partners in the bombing, and they have urged a jury to sentence Tsarnaev to death.

Tsarnaev’s lawyers say Tamerlan, 26, was the mastermind of the attack and lured his brother into his plan. Tamerlan died days after the bombings following a shootout with police.

A cousin testified Monday that Dzhokhar was a kind and warm child, so gentle that he once cried while watching “The Lion King.”

“I think that his kindness made everybody around him kind,” Raisat Suleimanova said through a Russian translator.

Assistant U.S. Attorney William Weinreb pounced, asking her if she believes a deadly attack on innocent civilians can be considered kind. Tsarnaev’s lawyer objected, and Suleimanova was not allowed to answer the question.

Another cousin, Nabisat Suleimanova, said Dzhokhar was loved by the entire family. “He was an unusual child. He was wunderkind,” she said.

She said Dzhokhar had a softening effect on an aunt who was very stern and strict with her own children, but not with Dzhokhar.

Supreme Court rejects inmate’s appeal for sex-change surgery

By MARK PRATT Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — A nearly two-decade legal fight by a convicted murderer in Massachusetts to get taxpayer-funded sexreassignment surgery ended in failure Monday when the U.S. Supreme Court rejected her final appeal.

The justices did not comment in letting stand a lower-court ruling denying the surgery to Michelle Kosilek.

“This is a terrible and inhumane result for Michelle,” said Jennifer Levi, director of the Transgender Rights Project for Boston-based Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders.

The state Department of Correction, which has fought the surgery, did not immediately respond to a request to comment.

State prison officials, who say the surgery could cost as much as $50,000, have said in the past they opposed the surgery because it would create security problems.

Kosilek was known as Robert Kosilek when she was convicted of murdering her spouse, Cheryl, in 1990.

Kosilek, now 65, said in her legal fight against the state prisons department that her Eighth Amendment right against cruel and unusual punishment was being violated and the surgery is necessary to relieve the mental anguish caused by gender-identity disorder.

“The treatment of Michelle has been cruel and unusual, according to two lengthy, thoughtful, and closely reasoned judgments,” Joseph Sulman, one of Kosilek’s lawyers, said Monday.

“The DOC’s behavior has been abominable as they have repeatedly defied their own experts in their eagerness to deny her desperately needed medical attention.”

The prisons department initially provided hormone treatments, electrolysis to remove facial and body hair, female clothing and personal items, but Kosilek sued again in 2005, arguing that the surgery was a medical necessity and denial of the surgery was making her suicidal. Her lawyers say she has twice tried to kill herself behind bars.

A federal judge in 2012 ordered the Department of Correction to grant the surgery, finding that it was the “only adequate treatment” for her gender-identity disorder. It was the first time a federal judge ordered such surgery.

Film students, professors say state should keep tax credit BOSTON (AP) — Film students and professors from more than a dozen colleges and universities in Massachusetts came to the Statehouse Monday to urge lawmakers to keep the state’s film tax credit, saying helps boost their job prospects.

Gov. Charlie Baker has called for the elimination of the tax credit, arguing that it largely helps out-of-state and Hollywood production companies.

The students argued that the incentive to make movies would diminish in the Bay State and they would likely be forced to look elsewhere for employment.

“I know the job opportunities available to me after graduation won’t exist without the tax credit,” said Malaika Woluchem, a Northeastern University student who has worked at a documentary production company.

The tax incentive includes a 25 percent production credit, a 25 percent payroll credit and a sales tax exemption.

Baker has proposed doing away with the credit and using the savings to double the state’s earned income tax credit for lowincome families.

The administration, citing a state Revenue Department report, has said roughly two-thirds of spending on film production in Massachusetts from 2006-2012 flowed to out-of-state businesses or individuals, including many people who earn more than $1 million per year.

“I know this has been positioned as all these fat cats from Hollywood who are getting rich on this tax credit,” said Robert Rosenthal, chairman of the Department of Communications and Journalism at Suffolk University, who was among the educators who joined students in pushing for the tax credit to be retained.

He said many “average working people,” including owners of small businesses, benefit when movies are made in Massachusetts.

Officials: Appeals process leads to backlog at state agency BOSTON (AP) — Officials say the appeals process at the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families for those found to have committed child abuse or neglect has led to a backlog of cases.

A May 1 preliminary report by an outside consultant also found that people bringing appeals are not receiving their agency files before hearings.

The child welfare agency says there are currently 2,614 pending fair hearings, down from 3,429 in 2010. The agency says there were 1,916 fair hearing requests out of 24,517 substantiated cases of abuse or neglect in 2014.

The report says the backlog problem has improved since 2010.

Agency officials either could not be reached for comment or declined to discuss the findings until the final report is released.

The report was prepared by the Boston-based Ripples Group.

Early Retirement

JDay race in Southwick was a concern from a traffic standpoint because it was a big draw for crowds and only one officer was working the detail.

Selectman Joseph Deedy and Ricardi both said the traffic concerns could be alleviated with pre-planning and having enough officers on-hand.

“It’s probably on the heels of the National as far as attendance,” Deedy said. “That, we can take care of. On the public safety side, I think we could clear up some of those spectator issues.”

Ricardi met with Motocross 338 promoter Keith Johnson, who took Ricardi’s concerns seriously. Ricardi said he planned to meet again with Johnson.

“We will set up a meeting and come up with a game plan,” said Selectman Russell Fox.

The board closed that hearing and indicated that the internally illuminated sign is not consistent with the character of the CORE district. The vote was delayed until Principal Planner Jay Vinskey prepares the documents supporting the board’s decision which have to be accepted to become part of the decision.

Ironically the Planning Board will have another opportunity to assess a request to erect an internally illuminated sign in the CORE district. Berkshire Bank is seeking to change the sign in front of the office at 31 Court Street, replacing the present sign with a new sign reflecting the bank’s newer corporate brand.

Seats

Reached at home, Larson, 51, said she’s “thrilled” at the opportunity to get more involved in the school system. She said she’s eyeing the chance to work in the budget process.

With a goal of making that often complicated process more transparent, Larson said she hopes to “bridge the divide” between Southampton residents with school-aged children and those who don’t have children.

“I have an understanding of the need to reach out to those different constituencies and get them involved to an extent that’s reasonable and possible,” she said.

Walunas, 47, said she’s looking forward to attending both School Committee and Select Board meetings, something she’s already made a habit of doing.

“I’m very happy that I’ll actually be able to sit at the table now and voice my opinions,” she said.

One of the first things on her agenda is helping the high school raise money for events like its senior class breakfast.

“With my previous history of being part of the PTO at Norris School, I have a lot of connections with different businesses in Southampton,” she said.

Joanne Alderman won a seat on the Personnel Policy Procedure Board through a sticker campaign, getting 78 votes.

All other races were unopposed: cemetery commissioner, town moderator, constable, water commissioner, Edwards Public Library trustees, Finance Committee, Housing Authority, Planning Board, park commissioner, William E. Norris School Committee and tree warden.

Domina is still taking final counts on those races.

after a meeting with legislative leaders.

Passage of the bill marked another early victory for Baker in his dealings with the solidly Democratic Legislature on the state’s finances. Baker proposed the early retirement incentives as part of a broader plan to close what his administration projected as a $1.8 billion gap between revenues and spending in the fiscal year starting July 1.

Employees must be at least 55 years old and have 20 years of service in state government to apply for early retirement.

They can boost their pensions by adding five years to their ages or to their lengths of service.

Not all of the vacated jobs will go unfilled. The plan allows

the administration to hire replacements until reaching a threshold of 20 percent of the salaries of those opting for the early retirement.

Some lawmakers questioned why the proposal was restricted to executive branch workers and not offered to other state employees such as those in the court system. Baker explained that he did not have control over the judicial branch.

Concerns also were raised about the ability of the state retirement board to handle thousands of applications in a short period of time and the possible impact on the plan on the state’s unfunded pension liability.

ISIL takes credit Representative Pignatelli champions for Texas shooting youth mentoring in FY16 House Budget

By NICK GASS Politico.com The Islamic State says it is responsible for the attack that occurred outside a contest to draw the prophet Muhammad on Sunday night in the Dallas suburb of Garland, Texas, according to reports.

The terror group said in a broadcast on the website of its radio station Tuesday that two of its soldiers did the shooting outside of the Curtis Culwell Center, referring to the two gunmen, who have been identified as Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi, as “brothers.”

“We say to the defenders of the cross, the U.S., that future attacks are going to be harsher and worse. The Islamic State soldiers will inflict harm on you with the grace of God. The future is just around the corner,” the broadcast said, according to CNN. It would be the first time ISIL has taken credit for an attack on American soil, though U.S. officials have not verified the group’s claim.

Law enforcement officials in Texas have said that both it and the Garland Independent School District made security preparations for the event. According to Garland Police Officer Joe Harn, Garland ISD spent an additional $10,000 on security, including FBI and ATF agents, bomb personnel and SWAT personnel.

Officers praised Bruce Joiner, a security officer with the Garland ISD, for quickly shooting and killing the gunmen and preventing events from further escalating.

BOSTON — Rep. William “Smitty” Pignatelli (D, Lenox) was joined by sixty-four colleagues to increase funding for youth mentoring in the FY16 house budget this week, resulting in a 25% budget increase for Mentoring Matching Grants (7061-9634), a state-wide, competitive grant for youth mentoring programs.

Mentoring Matching Grants was allocated $400,000 in FY15 and Representative Pignatelli advocated for increasing the funding to $500K, bringing this funding stream to its highest point since 2010 in an especially tight fiscal year. The grant program is administered by the Mass Mentoring Partnership, the state-wide organization dedicated to expanding empowering youth-adult relationships in the Commonwealth. Programs that receive this funding also get training and technical assistance in best practices in mentoring, ensuring youth receive high quality services. “Without Representative Pignatelli’s leadership this additional investment would not have been achieved. This funding will go a long way towards bringing more caring adult mentors into the lives of youth,” Marty Martinez, President and CEO, Mass Mentoring Partnership.

“We all have at least one person who we can point to and say that they helped us get where we are.” Said Representative Pignatelli “Every young person should have access to a caring adult who can help them navigate the difficult realities of

growing up in this world, and not everyone has that right now.”

The Mentoring Matching Grant program has a proven track record of positive outcomes for youth - mentoring reduces school absenteeism, increases student’s attitude towards school, improves classroom behavior, increases test scores and grades, and improves self-confidence, self-esteem, and selfexpression. Investing in youth mentoring is also sound fiscal policy: there is an almost 3:1 return on investment through reduced juvenile delinquency and crime and reduced youth engagement in risky behaviors such as drug, alcohol, and tobacco use.

One of the beneficiaries of the competitive grant program is in Representative Pignatelli’s district: Railroad Street Youth Project (RSYP) in Great Barrington. Executive Director of RSYP Ananda Timpane said “Young people thrive when there are adults who are passionate about their dreams in meaningful ways. Long-lasting relationships that mentor them through the challenges of transitioning from childhood to adulthood are crucial. Smitty gets that, which is why we are beyond fortunate to have him as a state-wide leader on mentoring.”

By SEUNG MIN KIM Politico.com Opponents of giving the Obama administration broad authority to negotiate a trans-Pacific trade deal, including Republican senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama, are pushing a new argument: It could trigger a flood of immigrants into the country.

Sessions’ argument – essentially, that the administration could use the authority to expand immigration – was dismissed as an “urban legend” by House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, whose panel oversees trade.

But with extremely close votes expected in both the House and possibly the Senate on whether to grant President Barack Obama increased powers in trade talks, leading Republicans and members of the administration are taking the threat seriously and working overtime to debunk it, knowing the potency of the immigration issue among Republican voters and elected officials.

GOP leaders will have to keep the vast majority of their members in support of the fast-track authority, while hoping that Obama is able to persuade between 20 and 40 House Democrats to join them. Last week, senior House lawmakers and aides warned that the legislation was in trouble.

Ryan’s committee has issued fact sheets trying to disprove the immigration concerns. And House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) shipped out a “Dear Colleague” letter flatly stating that the proposed trade deal is “not an immigration giveaway.”

Meanwhile, Senate Republicans used their latest weekly address, anchored by Sen. Johnny Isakson of Georgia, to bat away concerns that the Obama administration could sneak through immigration changes under the guise of a trade deal.

Top GOP lawmakers, as well as Obama administration officials, have stressed to conservative skeptics that immigration isn’t involved in the trade fight.

“There’s nothing in this bill that applies to immigration, and we’ve been assured by the administration that there will be nothing in any of the trade pacts that will involve immigration,” Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), who steered the trade legislation through his panel, said in an interview Monday.

Of those raising alarms about immigration in a trade deal, Hatch added: “That’s a false issue. If they don’t like the bill, that’s one thing, but to use that issue is just a false issue. We made sure it’s not in there.”

In their push, Republicans who support trade promotion authority — which would give Obama the power to submit trade agreements to Congress with just up-or-down votes — are battling a veteran immigration reform opponent with a track record of stirring up conservative angst on the issue.

That chief agitator is Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), who is circulating letters and memos to lawmakers warning that the fast-track legislation pending before both chambers could allow for a tide of foreign workers with little congressional oversight.

“There are numerous ways TPA could facilitate immigration increases above current law — and precious few ways anyone in Congress could stop its happening,” Sessions wrote in a memo circulated Sunday.

He argues that language could be added to the TPP that is intended to bring more foreign workers into the United States.

The fast-track legislation would give the president that authority for six years, so Sessions argued that future trade deals could also be ripe for immigration policy changes.

Sessions alludes to past trade deals. In 2003, the Bush administration included temporary visas from Chile and Singapore in their respective trade pacts despite congressional opposition. The Alabama senator opposed granting President George W. Bush trade promotion authority in 2002.

But in this latest round of trade deals, the Obama administration has told Congress that immigration is playing no role in the talks. In an April 22 letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman wrote that no TPP provisions will prompt changes in the nation’s immigration law or regulations — echoing his testimony before the Finance Committee earlier that month.

“I … welcome the opportunity to clarify that the United States is not negotiating and will not agree to anything in TPP

that would require any modification to U.S. immigration law or policy or any changes to the U.S. visa system,” Froman wrote to Grassley.

With those assurances from Froman, Grassley said he decided not to offer an amendment during the Finance Committee’s markup of the fast-track bill that would have addressed those immigration concerns. He is open to doing so when the trade debate hits the Senate floor.

And Sessions could also offer immigration-related amendments to the trade legislation. An aide said Sessions was considering several options for amendments, but declined to elaborate Monday.

Although Sessions has been the most vocal Republican on Capitol Hill expressing concern over immigration in a trade deal, he isn’t alone. Rep. Lou Barletta (R-Pa.), another hardliner on the issue, said he was leaning against granting Obama fast-track authority and cited a potential boost in temporary foreign workers as one of his concerns.

“There’s a lot of fear that it’ll allow guest workers to come in and take jobs away from Americans,” Barletta said in an interview. “So there’s a lot of questions that the average American has on whether or not these deals are actually good for the American worker or not.”

The perceived secrecy surrounding the proposed trade deal — a pending 12-country agreement that would amount to roughly 40 percent of the world’s economic output — hasn’t helped allay some conservatives’ concerns. Added Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), who is otherwise undecided on fast-track: “If there is any chance whatsoever of the Obama administration using any of these trade bills to increase this huge influx in foreign labor to the detriment of American citizens, I’m a ‘no’ vote.”

Despite these concerns, the House Ways and Means Committee is convinced that immigration worries are limited to just a small circle of lawmakers on Capitol Hill. Ryan spokesman Brendan Buck said immigration concerns in the trade deal have “come up very, very infrequently among members of Congress.”

Away from Capitol Hill, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce also got in on the debunking game, issuing a blog post Monday that said Sessions’ immigration claim “just isn’t true.” Goodlatte — a veteran immigration attorney whose committee oversees the issue — also weighed in.

“In the TPP negotiations, USTR has acted in good faith and has respected Congress’ constitutionally-granted power to write our nation’s immigration laws,” Goodlatte wrote to lawmakers last week. “In turn, we should support the TPP and trade promotion authority as a boon to the American economy.”

Still, immigration is seeping into the trade fight in other ways. GOP resistance to granting Obama fast-track powers is another example of the collateral damage on Capitol Hill from the president’s controversial executive actions on immigration last fall, when he acted to defer deportations for more than 4 See Trade Pact Foes, Page 5

Dalton voters reject bylaw outlawing circus DALTON, Mass. (AP) — The show will go on in Dalton.

Town meeting voters in the Berkshire County town on Monday rejected a bylaw that would have ended the decadeslong tradition of annual visits by the Kelly Miller Circus, or similar shows featuring exotic animals.

The Berkshire Eagle reports that voters rejected the circus ban 184-92. The proposed bylaw stated that “no living nondomesticated animal shall be displayed for public entertainment or amusement in circuses, carnivals, traveling events or other similar entities.”

A group called Berkshire Voters for Animals proposed the bylaw. The Dalton Lion’s Club has raised tens of thousands of dollars by sponsoring the circus since 1994.

Lion’s Club member Daniel McGinnis called the bylaw a “smear campaign.”

The Dalton Select Board voted unanimously not to support the circus bylaw.

Gov. Baker: Police body cameras raise privacy concerns FRAMINGHAM, Mass.

(AP) — Gov. Charlie Baker remains unsold on the idea of body cameras for police in Massachusetts.

The MetroWest Daily News reports that Baker believes the concept, intended to increase transparency in law enforcement, raises privacy concerns and what he

calls “collateral issues.”

Calls for police to wear recording devices have intensified around the country after the deaths of several black men at the hands of police.

Baker says he hopes to learn from small-scale demonstrations in the state before police departments adopt the

technology.

Baker says he would like to increase funding for in-service training, particularly for police in urban areas to learn how to build stronger relationships with citizens.

Baker also said Massachusetts benefits from having a more highly-educated police force.

Luis Oppenheimer pleaded guilty Monday in U.S. District Court in Springfield to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and to distribute heroin, and possession with intent to distribute and distribution of heroin.

Prosecutors say in October 2013 the 27-year-old Oppenheimer sold heroin to an undercover federal agent, accepting $400 in exchange for drugs after an accomplice handed heroin to the agent.

The purchase was captured on video.

Oppenheimer’s accomplice, Jose Vargas, pleaded guilty to the same charges in March.

Still, other conservative lawmakers have dismissed such arguments from fellow Republicans and said the deep distrust of the Obama administration by GOP lawmakers shouldn’t preclude them giving Obama a freer hand during trade negotiations.

“When it comes to giving this president power, I’m as nervous about it as anybody. But let’s be real,” said Rep. Matt Salmon (R-Ariz.), who backs fast track. “There’s so much misinformation.

German measles officially eliminated in North, South America

The Carson Center for Human Services Celebrating 50 Years of Real Help with Real Life 1963-2013 I wasn’t scared of the surgery for the reasons most people are afraid of going into the hospital. I trusted my doctors. It’s that I had to go off of my psychiatric meds in order to do it. My Carson therapist and outreach worker and support group were great getting me ready, but no one can be ready for your dead mother lying in the hospital bed next to you.

My Carson worker didn’t leave my side—not before I went into the Operating Room, and not after. She kept reassuring me that even though it felt real, the things I was seeing and hearing would not last. I made myself small in the corner of my bed, but her body kept touching me. My Carson worker said she did not see anything there, but that she knew that I felt it and saw it and that she was going to stay with me until it went away.

They wouldn’t release me until I showed them I could hold down food. Who could hold down food when they’ve put your dead mother’s crushed up bones in it? My Carson workers held my hand—she tested the food for me; she promised me that the food was okay.

I cried the whole way I ate that meal. I could feel the crunching in my teeth, and I could hear my Carson worker’s soothing voice.

I can tell you now that it wasn’t real, but it feels real when it happens. She never tried to convince me out of how strongly it felt, but she wanted me to know that it wouldn’t last and that she would be there the whole time.

That’s what I say now to others in group—that they need to keep working towards recovery—keep coming to group to find stronger mental health. The worst of it won’t last, and we’ll be there the whole time. I will be.

Just like Carson was for me.

By MIKE STOBBE AP Medical Writer NEW YORK (AP) — German measles is officially gone from North and South America, the first region to rid itself of the disease, health officials announced Wednesday.

Vaccines against German measles were first licensed in 1969, and were included in mass vaccination campaigns.

It is now part of childhood shots.

World Health Organization officials said it has been more than five years since there's been a German measles case that originated in the Americas. Now, the only cases in the region are imported from other parts of the world.

That's enough time to certify German measles as the third infectious disease to be eliminated from the Americas, they said. Smallpox was eliminated in 1971 and polio in 1994.

This "is a historic achievement for the Americas," said Dr. Carissa Etienne, director of the Pan American Health Organization, which is part of the WHO. German measles — also known as rubella — is a viral disease spread through coughing or sneezing. It's generally a mild illness, involving a three-day rash and low-grade fever.

But when pregnant women get it, the illness can cause birth defects. A U.S. epidemic in the mid-1960s caused thousands of infant deaths and thousands of other babies to be born with birth defects.

By 2004, German measles had been eliminated in the United States and it fell away in other countries as well, thanks to vaccination campaigns targeting both measles and German measles. The last German measles case originating in the Americas was reported in 2009 in Argentina.

Measles has been harder to eliminate because that disease spreads more easily and the German measles vaccine is more effective, said Dr. Susan Reef, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention official.

Three boys saved by customized airway tube made on 3-D printer

By LAURAN NEERGAARD AP Medical Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — In a striking example of how 3-D printers could customize medical care, doctors turned powdered plastic into tiny devices that saved the lives of three baby boys by holding open defective airways so they could breathe — and the implants even expanded as the tots grew.

These experimental airway splints actually change shape over time, adding what researchers call a fourth dimension that is key for growing children as the implants first expand and later, when no longer needed, harmlessly dissolve.

"We are using laser light to transform dust into medical devices that change how the body develops," said lead researcher Dr. Glenn Green, a pediatric ear, nose and throat specialist at the University of Michigan. "It is a concept that would have been inconceivable" not too many years ago.

Green's team made headlines in 2013 with initial success in treating the first baby, Kaiba Gionfriddo.

On Wednesday, the researchers published promising results with two other youngsters, plus long-term tests showing that Kaiba, now a thriving 3-year-old, seems cured as the splint that once helped him breathe is dissolving right on time.

Next the team is working with the Food and Drug Administration to begin a clinical trial testing the 3-D printed devices in 30 children with a similar problem.

Independent experts called the work exciting.

"Fascinating," said Duke University's Dr. Piers Barker, who leads research in 3-D printing for pediatric cardiology.

"The promise of 3-D printing is you can really begin to personalize potentially almost every medical intervention," Barker said. But "this approach to a structure that permits growth — this is the first time I've seen anything like this."

Beyond all the consumer gadgets from the 3-D printing revolution, doctors increasingly are turning to the technology.

They already have tried printing custom-sized artificial bones, replacement ears and models of deformed hearts so that surgeons can practice a fix before cutting someone open.

Some scientists even are attempting to print organs, pumping out a mixture of biodegradable scaffolding and human cells instead of ink. Such work will take many more years of research.

The airway splints mark a different approach, not replacing a body part but helping it grow with a made-to-order therapy.

About 1 in 2,000 babies is born with weakened airways, called bronchi, that can suddenly collapse and block breathing.

Most outgrow the condition by age 3, because airways get stronger as they get larger. But severe cases can be life-threatening.

All three boys in the Michigan study had undergone tracheostomies, to attach them to ventilators, and yet repeatedly had to be resuscitated.

"He was basically suffocating," Meghan Orbich said of her son Ian. At just 5 months old, Ian had spent weeks in intensive care, his breathing repeatedly stopping. Frustrated specialists in his hometown of Pittsburgh didn't know what else to try. Orbich saw a news article about the Michigan research and tracked down Green.

Previous attempts at propping open airways from the inside hadn't worked very well. So Green and biomedical engineer Scott Hollister designed a splint to be stitched to the outside,

This handout photo provided by the University of Michigan shows an airway splint created on a 3-D printer before doctors implant it to hold open a child's weakened airway and expand as the tot grows.

holding open the airway much like a pole holds up a tent.

Using measurements from each patient's CT scans, in a single day the laser printers churned out tubes the right shape and size for each child, with an opening down one side. The splints are made of thin layers of plastic known to start degrading in about three years, just the right time.

Surgeons sterilized the splint and placed it over each patient's weakened airway. As that airway eventually doubled in size, it pressed on the splint and widened the opening, Hollister explained.

The surgeries required emergency permission from the FDA, which says new 3-D implants must meet required performance standards just like traditionally manufactured medical devices.

Green said the materials for a splint cost about $10, and despite surgery fees the approach promises to save money by getting kids out of the hospital sooner. He and Hollister have filed a patent application for the device.

On Wednesday, the researchers reported that all three boys are improving dramatically, living normally at home. Ian is the last remaining on a ventilator because of additional problems.

But a year after the implant, "he is doing amazing," his mother said. "It was a blessing."

Palmer bounced back with three runs in the bottom half of the inning, and exploded for seven more in the fourth. The Panthers tacked on two more over the final two frames.

St. Mary’s managed a run in the fifth, and scored three in the sixth.

Matt Remillard went 3-for-4 with two runs scored to lead Palmer.

Three others – Zack James (3 RBIs), Nolan Santos (2 runs), and Jacob Shattuck (run, 3 RBIs) – had two hits apiece for the Panthers.

Jacob Butler (2-for-3) doubled and scored a run for St. Mary. Drew Collins, Nick Garde (run), Shaun Gezotis, Steve McKenna (run, RBI), Harry Reed (run), and Charlie White also collected one hit apiece for the Saints.

Hyper • Local

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.

By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer AMHERST – Zach Gentle (6 goals, 6 assists), Sam Scarfo (4 goals, 5 assists), and Matt Chlastawa (3 goals, 2 assists) led the offensive attack, and helped fuel Westfield’s 21-9 road win over the Amherst Hurricanes in a boys’ lacrosse game Monday.

Anthony Sullivan netted a hat trick (3 goals), Max Maggipinto chipped in a pair of scores, and Jeff Bourgoin finished with a goal and an assist for the Bombers.

Westfield’s Mitchell Weiss and Muhammed Umer scored one goal apiece, and Chris Ward, Mason Balch, and Pat Liptak each had one assist.

Craig Ward was instrumental in orchestrating the attack on “O,” win-

ning 12 of 14 faceoffs.

Jake Cupak finished with five saves in net for Westfield. He was helped out by defensive stalwarts Mitch Weiss and Kane Miller.

The Bombers (11-0) were coming off a big win over Chicopee Comp in a matchup of unbeatens Friday night.

“It was a great offensive performance today and nice way to start off the second half of the league season,” Westfield coach Tyler Wingate said.

Canada, US, earn 3rd straight wins at ice hockey worlds PRAGUE (AP) — Sidney Crosby scored again as Canada beat host Czech Republic 6-3 at the ice hockey world championship on Monday, and the United States bested defending champion Russia 4-2.

It was the third win in three games for both North American teams and Sweden equaled their record by routing Latvia 8-1. Last year’s runner-up Finland blanked Norway 5-0 for its second win.

Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier broke a 2-2 tie for Canada 2:20 before the end of the second period.

Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin and Crosby both scored power-play goals in the third. The Pittsburgh Penguins star has scored a goal in each game at the worlds.

“That was definitely a good test for us,” Crosby said.

“They’re fast and they used the big ice well with their speed. It was a good test for us, both ways, trying to create offense and trying to play defense. The main thing is to keep improving next couple weeks here.”

Canada outshot the Czechs 38-25. They have scored a total of 22 goals in the first three games, most of all teams.

Vladimir Sobotka cut the lead to 5-3 before Tyler Toffoli added an empty net goal with 1:29 left.

Canada tops Group A with nine points, while the Czechs have four.

Goals from Edmonton Oilers forwards Jordan Eberle and Taylor Hall — his fourth at the tournament — looked to put Canada in control with 59 seconds left in the first period. But Martin Erat pulled one back for the Czechs just 21 seconds later and Martin tied it at 2-2 with 4:15 to go in the second.

“We can’t (give up) six goals and win,” Czech captain Jakub Voracek said. “We have problems in defense but still have time to work on it. The offense is good, we create some chances.”

The young U.S. team leads Group B in Ostrava with nine points, three more than Russia, and plays Belarus next on Thursday.

In a matchup of two unbeaten teams, Torey Krug used a two-man advantage in the second period to roof a wrist shot for the 2-1 go-ahead goal and Mark Arcobello made it 3-1 in the third.

Sergei Plotnikov cut it to 3-2 when the puck deflected into the goal off defenseman Seth Jones’ stick with 3:49 to go, but Brock Nelson scored into an empty net with 9 seconds left.

U.S. goaltender Jack Campbell made 15 saves, including two big stops to deny Plotnikov in the opening period.

“It’s a fast game, a lot of great players,” Campbell said. “It’s an honor to be out here and get the win.”

Annie’s Mailbox

By KATHY MITCHELL and MARCY SUGAR

Are there other alternatives?

Dear Annie: I am an 83-year-old widow in good health. My daughter lives about two hours away. She is 50 and well educated and has been in a long-term relationship with an older retired man. She does a lot of care-giving for him and his family members.

Three years ago, my daughter lost her job during an economic downturn and has made no attempt to find other employment. I have been giving her money every month and paid for a course in massage therapy, but she has not attempted to find a job in that field. She received insurance money to repair her home when it flooded over the winter, but she hasn’t done the repairs. Instead, she camps out at her boyfriend’s apartment. When I ask, she will come help me with certain things.

She is my only child, and there are no other close relatives. I am not wealthy, but am comfortable. My daughter will inherit trust money and my house when I die, and this bothers me. I don’t want what my husband and I worked and planned for to eventually go to her boyfriend and his family. I am thinking of changing the trust, leaving her a fixed amount and giving the rest to a charity. Are there other alternatives? -- A. Dear A.: There are always alternatives. You could leave your daughter the house and trust only under certain conditions, in order to exclude the boyfriend and his family, although that won’t necessarily change how your daughter chooses to live her life. But there is also nothing wrong with giving some (or all) of your money to a charity that would appreciate it. Please talk to an estate attorney, who will help you figure out the various possibilities and put them in writing.

Dear Annie: I need to know whether I was out of line. My husband and I have been friends with “Nancy” for years. Last Christmas, she sent us pajamas as a gift. I called her and left a message saying we have never worn pajamas, and not only that, but I am not a size 3x. I wrote her a note and told her I returned the pajamas for something I like better.

We haven’t heard from her or her husband since. Was I improper? Is this a reason to end a long friendship? -- C. Dear C.: When someone gives you a gift, you don’t tell them you dislike it, it’s the wrong size, you never wear such things or that you had to return it. It sounds rude and ungrateful, and we don’t believe you intended to come across that way. Instead, you simply say, “Thank you for your thoughtfulness. It was kind of you to remember us.” And then you get to do whatever you like with the gift.

If you value this friendship and want to mend fences, call or write Nancy. Say that you are terribly sorry to have been so ill mannered when thanking them for their gift, and you hope they will forgive you. We hope they will, too.

HINTS FROM HELOISE CLEANING THE BOARDS Dear Readers: In a recent column was a hint on CLEANING DRY-ERASE BOARDS using baking soda. Here are some additional reader hints: * D.G. in Alabama wrote: “My solution that I have been using for at least a dozen years is baby wipes. They are easy to use and dispose of, and are safe for students to use.” * Laurie H., via email, said: “I’ve tried everything to clean mine, and recently stumbled on a hint on the Internet of using toothpaste. I tried a small dab and rubbed it over the entire board, and it cleaned it to completely white. No residue, ‘ghost’ writing or anything.” * Patti Sanders in Arkansas wrote: “I have found that plain old water in a spray bottle, wiped with soft paper towels, is the best cleaner to keep boards in prime condition. It might not work well if the boards have been abused through the years, but I have a set of 10-year-old boards in my classroom that look brand new.”

-- Heloise SHOPPING FOR SHOES Dear Heloise: Every woman has pondered: “I’ve found the perfect dress, but now I need to find shoes to match!” Then they proceed to drag their new dress from shoe store to shoe store to find the perfect match.

Most dresses have two thin ribbons sewn into them. If the dress can manage to hang properly without the ribbons, simply snip them out and put the ribbons in your wallet or purse. Now when shopping for those perfect shoes, use the ribbons to help match your shoe selection. -- Karen R., The Woodlands, Texas MARKED CAP Dear Heloise: You know those little plastic covers that protect nozzles on spray bottles and cans? They roll off the counter and onto the floor. I can’t find them (until I step on them). They just disappear into the pattern of the tile. Now I color the top of the cover with a marker or a dab of red nail polish. Makes finding it much easier. -- Karen in Rhode Island Frankly, Karen, I just toss them! No need for them for household storage or use. -- Heloise

Brian Anderson

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, May 5, 2015: This year you open up to a multitude of possibilities. Taking risks happens more naturally for you than it has in the past. Your sense of humor emerges more often than not, allowing you to gain a unique perspective. Others are drawn to you. If you are single, a relationship could make a big difference in what goes on. A special person might enter your life as soon as September or as late as mid-2016. If you are attached, the two of you open up to a more dynamic bond. Often there are serious moments and discussions involved. Be sensitive and caring with each other.

SAGITTARIUS has a way of bottomlining issues.

ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH One-on-one relating will help you develop a new way of thinking. Your insight might give you a few minutes of pause, but then you probably will decide to test it and act on it. A well-meaning person in your life will express openness to your ideas. Tonight: Take in a movie.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Defer to others, and listen to what is being shared. Be open to what is happening to a loved one. This person might share an experience with a great amount of detail. Expenses could run high if you are not careful about your choices. Tonight: Togetherness works.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Defer to others, and know full well what needs to happen. Your ability to understand what is happening within your immediate circle makes you popular. As much as you enjoy socializing, you still will have to accomplish a certain task. Tonight: Go along with a request.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Your creativity has an opportunity for a tune-up, especially revolving around a day-to-day matter. Given some time, you will be able to solve the issue.

You’ll teach others indirectly that there is no such word as “impossible.”

Tonight: Work till the wee hours.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH No matter what you do, you cannot escape an obligation. Handle this responsibility, and you will feel more upbeat than you have in a while.

Nevertheless, be aware that someone you respect might be observing you closely, and for good reason. Tonight: At home.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You can make only a certain amount of change without having a discussion with a key family member. Note that you are capable of changing your mind at the last minute. Honor what is happening within you, and have a discussion with a trusted friend. Tonight: Out late.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You might be concerned with your finances and stability, but right now you need to act quickly in a separate matter. Look to making a change in the near future regarding your perspective. Your mood starts becoming more upbeat. Tonight: Wherever you want to be.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Evaluate a money matter more carefully than you have in the past. Your knowledge of what needs to happen could change after a discussion with a close friend who understands money issues better than you do. One-on-one relating points to the right path. Tonight: Say “yes.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH You wake up feeling better than you have felt in a while. You could be quite serious, as you have a lot to handle. Someone who cares a lot about you, and who normally is easygoing, could cause some disruption. Tonight: Take charge and act on a personal matter.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HH You seem to be past the point of no return with a personal matter. Why not go straight to the source of the issue? You could be extremely tired and withdrawn.

Hanley Ramirez hurt; Red Sox offense quiet in loss

By KEN POWTAK Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Clay Buchholz was roughed up early again.

The bigger concern for the Boston Red Sox is how hard Hanley Ramirez banged into a wall.

Ramirez, the club’s most productive hitter so far, ran into a side wall trying to catch a fly ball in the first inning and had to leave the game with a sprained left shoulder in Boston’s 5-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday.

“Based on the exams and the images tonight, I don’t have anything that suggests that there’s a reoccurrence of an old injury,” Boston manager John Farrell said.

“I think over the coming days we’ll have a better read on how he can recover, and we’re hopeful that he won’t miss significant time.”

Ramirez missed the final two months of 2011 after spraining his shoulder when he was with the Marlins.

He leads the club with 10 homers and 22 RBIs. After Ramirez left the game, Buchholz allowed four runs and five hits in the first two innings.

“Bad breaks count for two of them,” he said. “Left the changeup up, the kid hit it.

Other than that, I felt like I threw the ball pretty good.”

Buchholz (1-4) gave up five runs in 6 1-3 innings, raising his ERA to 6.03.

He didn’t make it out of the third inning in his previous start, allowing five runs — four earned — in a loss last Tuesday.

Jake Odorizzi pitched seven strong innings, Joey Butler hit his first career homer and the Rays’ offense perked up a bit.

David DeJesus drove in a pair of runs for Tampa Bay, which scored just four runs in a three-game set this past weekend against Baltimore.

The Rays have been held to two or fewer runs in nearly half of their games.

Odorizzi (3-2) gave up one run, seven hits and struck out six. He matched a
