Board approves project funding By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Board of Public Works voted Tuesday night to approve $3.3 million to replace sewers in the $5.9 million Gas Light District Improvement Project slated to begin in June. City Engineer Mark Cressotti requested the board to authorize the use of the city’s Inflow & Infiltration (I&I) account to replace the sewers, some of the oldest in the city, and to perform associated work to tie buildings and homes into the new sewer system. The Gas Light District MARK (the neighborhood between CRESSOTTI Elm and Washington streets and between Court and Franklin streets) infrastructure is being upgraded to improve the quality of life for residents within the district and to position the city for economic development downtown. Cressotti said the present infrastructure is inadequate to support economic development and in many cases is failing, which has a directed impact on residents in the district because of See Funding, Page 5

Senior center funding secured By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Council on Aging Executive Director Tina Gorman reported to the Council on Aging Board of Directors Monday afternoon that state Representative John Velis (D-Westfield) has secured $50,000 in House of Representatives 2015 budget for use in support of the new senior center. Gorman said the budget line item must also be approved in the Senate’s version of the budget and eventually by Gov. Deval Patrick who can exercise his line item veto. Typically differences in the House and Senate budgets are decided by a conference committee to reconcile those differences. Generally, the House and Senate pass differing versions of the budget. A sixmember Conference Committee made up of the House and Senate Ways and Means chairs and vice chairs and a senior minority member of each chamber, convenes to resolve differences and draft a compromise budget proposal. The Committee releases the compromise budget for a full vote. The House and Senate vote; upon
enactment the budget is sent to the Governor for his signature. Gorman said that Velis originally intended to secure the state funding for FFE (furnishing, fixtures and equipment) for the proposed senior center. “A one-time state grant has to come to my department and has to be expended through the city’s Purchasing Department, which could be done in coordination with the Friends of Senior Center which is raising funds to furnish the center,” Gorman said yesterday morning. Gorman said that she also requested Velis to present a bill for funding separate from the state’s senior citizen allocation to local Councils on Aging, noting that a state representative secured funding which was then subtracted for the state Elder Grant program, affecting the bottom line of every Council on Aging in the state. The state Elder Grant provides $8 per senior citizen in the Council’s district, which in Westfield, with about 8,000 senior, totals $64,000 a year. Gorman also informed the board that a See Senior Center, Page 5
Low voter turnout in Southwick By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – Just as Southwick Town Clerk Michelle Hill predicted, turnout was very low for the town election yesterday. Just 278 of the town’s 6,450 registered voters – or 4.31 percent – cast their vote. A largely uncontested election conributed to the low numbers, with just one actual race on the ballot for Park and Recreation Commission. Jeanne Reed Waldron won a one-year term on the Southwick Park and Recreation Commission over opponent Jocelyn Linnekin. Waldron received 175 votes to Linnekin’s 83 votes.

Single-stream recycling on horizon By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Public Works Superintendent Jim Mulvenna reported last night to the Board of Public Works that Mayor Daniel M. Knapik is seeking funding to implement a new singlestream recycling program. Mulvenna said Knapik is submitting an appropriation request to the City Council tomorrow night to purchase 65-gallon trash containers and that the present 96-gallon container will be used for recycling. Knapik is submitting a request to appropriate $152,675.75 from free cash to the DPW waste JIM collection purchase of serMULVENNA vices account. That request included the $16,000 to purchase the new yellow recycling lids for the 96-gallon containers, which Mulvenna said, will be switched when the 65-gallon trash containers are delivered to residents. The appropriation request includes the first annual payment of a five-year lease-to-own contract to acquire the new trash containers and

By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A juvenile who allegedly robbed a Main Street convenience store at gunpoint late Sunday night was arrested only hours later in Springfield after he and two companions reportedly attempted a similar crime in that city. Police report that the clerk of the Cumberland Farms store at 69 Main St., had called at 11:17 p.m. to report a robbery and told the dispatcher that a male party dressed in black with his face covered pointed a handgun at him and grabbed an undetermined amount of money before fleeing the store. Officer Sean Smith arrived at the store four minutes after the robbery was reported and learned that the suspect had fled toward the nearby railroad right-of-way. A supervisory officer reported that the suspect had worn the hood of his sweatshirt tied tightly around his head and had menaced the clerk with a silver colored handgun during the robbery. The initial focus of the search moved to Taylor Avenue, where there is an easy access point to the right-of-way, although officers also looked for the suspect on Clinton Avenue, St. Dennis Street and at Broad Street addresses which abut the rail line before detectives were called out to assist with the investigation. Det. Sgt. Steven K. Dickinson said later that the clerk said that the suspect had mumbled something when he initially approached the counter and, when the clerk asked him to repeat what he said, the suspect said “give me all your money.” The clerk said that he handed the cash drawer, later determined to contain $226, to the suspect who took the money and ran. The clerk told Dickinson that he followed the suspect out the door and saw him scale a fence to access the railroad right-ofway and head south. Dickinson said that a K-9 team had tracked the suspect on the right-of-way for a distance but he was not found. The search moved briefly to an area north of Main Street, in the vicinity of Lewis Street, after a caller reported seeing a person who fit the suspect’s description walking from Meadow Street to Lewis Street but that search did not pan out. Dickinson later found that his job had apparently been done for him by Springfield police, he said, when he got a call from Springfield police who suspected that a trio they had arrested may have robbed another store. Springfield police Sgt. John Delaney said yesterday morning that an attempt had been made to rob a Boston Road gas station and convenience store where two suspects had entered the store, which includes a glass enclosure for the clerk, wearing hoods drawn tightly around their head to conceal their features. Delaney said that one of the men pointed a silver colored handgun at the clerk demanding money but, when the clerk said that he didn’t have any, they fled. A Springfield officer, Det. Angel Perez, who happened to be passing the store saw the two men concealing their faces as they left the store and saw the blue Mazda they left in. The detective lost sight of the car, but a short time later, at 2:24 a.m., a caller reported a car fire at the bottom of a small hill on near the intersection of Seymour Avenue at Gerald Street. The vehicle was found to be the blue See Armed Robbery, Page 5

Glitch leads to some double tax refund checks GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — Officials say a computer glitch is responsible for 73 Grand Rapids residents getting two income tax refund checks from the city instead of one. WOOD-TV reports (http://bit.ly/1jf9d3i) one of the 73 people came forward to alert the city. City Manager Greg Sundstrom says it’s not known what caused an April 27 computer problem that led to double checks being mailed, but officials are making sure it won’t happen again. The TV station reports checks averaged $20 for a total of about $1,500. Sundstrom says any of the “lucky 73” who got double refunds may contact the city income tax office to mail back checks or drop them off. As for the error being reported by one of them, Sundstrom says: “Honesty is still a strong trait here in Grand Rapids.”

Worthington withdrawal on Gateway agenda By Peter Francis Staff Writer HUNTINGTON – Following the signing of a bill enabling the Town of Worthington to withdraw from the Gateway Regional School District last week, residents of the six remaining district communities must now move forward. This process will begin tonight, when the GRSD School Committee will hold it’s first meeting since Gov. Deval L. Patrick signed the bill. School Committee Chair Gretchen Eliason said Monday that she doesn’t know which direction the committee will take regarding an education plan going forward. “I don’t think we’ll have decisions made on Wednesday, but we’re going to start the process,” she said. Eliason is a Worthington resident, and when asked if she and the committee’s other Worthington resident, Sue Levreault, would be involved in the education plan for the remaining Gateway communities, Eliason believes they’ll still have their say. “I think we’ll be involved in the plan,” she said. “We don’t have any private interests that would necessitate us recusing ourselves. There is a seperate group in Worthington, an ad-hoc committee that Sue and I aren’t on.”
Eliason said that this committee will put in motion a plan to elect a new, local school committee. “I don’t know what their plans will be yet. I know they’re talking now, but for awhile we may have two seperate school committees (Gateway and Worthington),” she said. “Sue and I will be representing the town in the Gateway district, and a separate group that will start thinking about how the local school district will be run.” Eliason said that she is unsure how the two committees will interact, but that neither she nor Levreault have been approached about possibly serving as a liasion between the two committees. “No one has approached us with that idea,” Eliason said, adding that Worthington residents are still very adamant in their pursuit of a withdrawal. “I haven’t heard from anyone that they opposed it. Unfortunately, I missed the Worthington town meeting a couple of years ago when they had the vote about seperating. So I’m not sure if it was completely or nearly unanimous.” “We’re not all the way there yet. The only thing dry is the Governor’s signature,” said Ruth Kennedy of Russell. “This won’t become enacted for another 60 to 90 days. There are still a few things left to be done. We’re looking at quite a few months ahead of us.”
“Just follow what you’ve got to do, and we’ll do what we have to do, and we’ll figure it out from there,” she said yesterday. “I don’t know whats going to happen from here. At the meeting tomorrow night, I know there is a lot of stuff that has got to happen.” Kennedy said that Worthington has not yet officially withdrawn from the Gateway Regional district, and that the legislation is merely a “request to withdraw.” “It’s just permission to withdraw. That’s all it was,” she said. “Not everyone in Worthington is on board with this. You don’t have 100 percent.” “There are so many questions on the table right now – we don’t have the who, the what, the where, the when, the why, or the how yet,” she said. “There has been figures tossed out, but we don’t know how much. We haven’t worked it out, the education, the split-up.” “If this is really real, we may not have a Gateway system,” Kennedy said. “Because if any one of the six towns left withdraws, my gut says Gateway won’t exist anymore, because five towns cant’t pay for the system the way it is now.” Kennedy said that she will be suggesting the creation of a subcommittee to discuss the ongoing situation to come up with solutions to the conflicts between the district and Worthington.

Senate approves substance abuse bill BOSTON (AP) — A bill that would ramp up state efforts to control a growing drug dependency problem won unanimous approval yesterday in the Massachusetts Senate. The measure would toughen the state’s prescription drug monitoring program and require pharmacists dispense an interchangeable abuse deterrent drug unless a physician has indicated that a substitution should not be made. It would also mandate insurers reimburse for substance abuse treatment services delivered by licensed drug and alcohol counselors. Senate President Therese Murray thanked her colleagues for acting on the bill, saying Massachusetts was in the midst of an opiate addiction crisis. “When we have 135 babies born in one month addicted, when 93 percent of the families in (Department of Children and Families) care are there for addiction, now is the time to act and I hope that the House will take this up,” Murray, a Plymouth Democrat, said immediately after the 40-0 vote. The legislation would also mandate the chief medical examiner file a report with federal drug regulators and the state Department of Public Health when a death is found to be caused by a controlled substance. The legislation was filed after a special Senate committee chaired by Democratic Sen. Jennifer Flanagan held hearings around the state on drug abuse and treatment options. “We’ve heard that access to treatment to treatment is one of the biggest obstacles,” said Flanagan, of Leominster, adding that the bill takes important steps to streamline the treatment system. Other provisions of the bill include: — Require physicians consult the state’s prescription monitoring program before writing a prescription on an

annual basis for patients receiving ongoing treatment of a controlled substance. — Require the Department of Public Health to report to the Legislature on whether doctors are using the prescrip-
tion monitoring program and the number of physician and pharmacist violations. — Allow state regulators to mandate that before prescribing certain addictive prescription drugs, a doctor should
review a patient’s prescription history, educate the patient on addiction, limit the quantity of pills and conduct a risk assessment.

COMMENT
Yes, I’m reading the Tuesday, May 13 Westfield News front page: “Velis Appointed to Judiciary Committee”. It sure didn’t take him long to start climbing up the ladder, did it? Well, you know, all your buddies work together and being a Democrat, too, what do you expect? He’s going to go places as long as Obama is around for two years, which is too long and Deval Patrick, he’ll be gone, so maybe they’ll start cleaning house a little bit. Thank you. Good Morning Pulseline! Yesterday morning while driving in Westfield I was behind a Toyota Highlander with a bumper sticker that said “Just Be Nice”. So easy. So simple. So right. It made me smile and was a great start to my day. Hope you all have a “nice” day! I read in Tuesday’s Westfield News that the Westfield Gas and Electric will close the 100 Elm Street business office at noon of Friday May 16 in order to hold an employee event. Westfield Gas and Electric: enlighten us. Tell us what this employee event is. Tell us what my tier one and tier two transportation charges are paying for. Don’t tell me it is an office party but we’d still like to know. We’re waiting. Thank you. Relax, there’s no conspiracy. The early closing is so that the G&E may hold an employee meeting at their Operations Center. Due to the variety of work schedules they will close the Business Office so that all employees from both locations are able to attend.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR To the Editor It’s coming close to the time when Prospect Hill residents will be able to once again, drive off the hill. Not down Notre Dame St. but back down the other way to the south side of town, by what has been called Drugstore Hill. Many people will be happy to return to their normal route. But please when this opening event happens, let it not be with the local politicians. Have a group of some of the residents that have lived on the “HILL” most of their lives, names such as Cook, Puza, Martin, Mahony, Barry, Warchol, Parent, the Kanes, Jukenevicz, Larrabee, Callahan, Burns, the Rixes, Morrisseys, Currans, Coffey, Baker and am sure many more that I have lost the name of. Most of these names are people that were born here, went to he local school and chose to stay in this area, even after marriage. They should be featured, not the mayor, council person, not the state officials. It can be rather tiresome to see these same people, picture after picture. Four years is a long time to have something like this take place. We know that the rebuilding of the historic bridgework was important, but that is still not an excuse. They could, am sure, have had more workers there instead of a few. Many of us here still do not like the changes made with the Crown, Montgomery, and Prospect St. area, it is a busy intersection, made worse with the changes. Don’t believe a life was lost, until last year. I have a memory of walking down this hill, going by the “boys” that sat on the rail, against the drugstore, “watching the girls go by” and deciding where to go “Dancin” that nite. One of my brothers was in that group. They were happy fellows, had also gathered at Jimmy Pappa’s store where you could get a great “College-ice” or a Cherry Coke. Remember those?

Poll:
Why incumbents should worry By Jonathan Topaz Politico.com American voters are filled with more anti-incumbent sentiment than in any election year in more than 20 years, a new poll says. According to the Gallup survey, only 22 percent of registered voters believe that most members of Congress deserve reelection and 72 percent believe they don’t. If the results hold in November, the “deserve re-election” figure will be the lowest mark since Gallup began tracking the question in 1992. In particular, only 16 percent of independent voters say most lawmakers deserve to be reelected. This mark is compared with 28 percent of Democrats and 22 percent of Republicans. Still, 50 percent of registered voters say their personal member of Congress deserves to be reelected. Congress has a 15 percent approval rating, according to the latest Gallup congressional approval rating survey conducted May 8-11. It has an 80 percent disapproval rating. Gallup has calculated that there is a correlation between the level of voters who think that most lawmakers deserve reelection and congressional turnover rates during election years. If the low percentage mark holds in November, the report says, incumbents might perform worse this November compared to previous years. The poll was conducted April 24-30 with 1,336 registered voters on landlines and cellphones. The margin for error is plus-or-minus three points.
Non-Compete Agreements Protect Innovation By John Regan blog.aimnet.org The largest business association in Massachusetts announced today that it opposes efforts to ban or limit the use of noncompete agreements because the action would threaten hundreds of small companies that depend upon the agreements to protect their intellectual property. Non-Compete AgreementsIn a letter to members of the Legislature, Associated Industries of Massachusetts (AIM) said a survey of its 4,500 members shows that non-competes are used widely in every segment of the Massachusetts economy, including manufacturing, life sciences, medical devices, finance, retail, marketing, publishing, construction, energy, professional services, transportation, food and beverage distribution, insurance and health care. “Our business would be compromised by allowing employees and former employees to share trade secrets that have been crucial to continuing business,” said the president of a small engineering firm. Language eliminating non-compete contracts is found in a jobs bill filed recently by Governor Deval Patrick and in a bill recently reported out of the Legislature’s Joint Committee on Labor and Workforce Development. No date has been set for a debate on either bill. Brad MacDougall, Vice President of Government Affairs at AIM, said the non-compete issue is really about choice for both individuals and employers, who should be free to negotiate contracts of mutual benefit as long as the employee is a part of the process. Employees already enjoy legal protection against overly restrictive non-compete agreements, according to MacDougall. Case law dictates that enforcement of agreements occurs only when they: • are narrowly tailored to protect legitimate business interests; • are limited in time, geography, and scope; • are consonant with public policy; and • the harm to the employer from non-enforcement outweighs the harm to the employee. “Non-compete agreements may not be used to curtail ordinary, fair competition or to prevent employees from using their general skills. Massachusetts has a long history of case law that strikes the right balance between employee freedom of mobility and financial incentives with employer interests in protecting intellectual property (IP), trade secrets, confidential information, and goodwill,” he said.
AIM maintains that proponents of doing away with noncompetes have inappropriately characterized the issue as a battle between innovative technology startups and large, established companies trying to prevent key people from moving to smaller competitors. In fact, the AIM survey finds that most companies that depend on non-competes to protect intellectual property are small firms outside the technology sector. “We believe that intellectual property created by us could be transferred to our competition and lessen that value of the IP, which required significant investment,” says a small publishing company. A manufacturing company with fewer than 50 employees adds that eliminating non-competes “could put us out of business.” AIM also takes issue with the argument by proponents that Massachusetts must eliminate non-competes to keep pace with innovation competitor California, which for years has limited use of such agreements. But California does allow non-competes in certain business circumstances and many California-based companies use them in those circumstances. California companies use non-compete agreements in other states where they operate, including Massachusetts. California’s restrictions have existed for years, but other states have not followed suit. Covenants not to compete are recognized and honored in 48 states. Several of those states are in fact looking to strengthen their public policy protections for IP. In 2010 for example, Georgia passed a law and then an amendment to its constitution to allow for broader enforcement and court discretion to uphold legal protections, moving towards the current Massachusetts legal model. New York has a growing start-up community, yet enforces non-compete contracts; the law has not dissuaded the growth of a tech economy there. Indeed, reports suggest that the investment market there for start-ups now surpasses Massachusetts. Non-competes cannot be the reason. “Massachusetts ranks among the highest in the U.S. for patent creation and venture capital investment. National surveys rank Massachusetts ahead, or competitive with, other states in the very metrics cited by proponents as the reason to ban noncompetes,” MacDougall said. “The commonwealth is often ranked higher than California on the Kaufman Foundation’s “economic dynamism” measure, and also holds its own in the areas of fastest growing firms and initial public offerings. Non-compete agreements protect that culture of innovation.”
GOP trio faces questions: Too much like Obama? By Manu Raju Politico.com Ask virtually any Republican politician about Barack Obama, and you’ll hear a common critique: He was too green for the presidency and lacked critical executive experience. “He never even ran a lemonade stand,” South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham often says. Come 2016, that same criticism could haunt three of the top potential Republican contenders for the White House. Ted Cruz, Rand Paul and Marco Rubio are each in first Senate terms. None has executive experience. Two are in their early 40s, and one is barely in his 50s. Like Obama before 2008, they have spent too little time in Washington to build a robust legislative portfolio. And yet, like Obama, each is viewed as a fresh-faced star in his party at a time when many voters are looking for something new. While Obama’s meteoric ascent to the White House may give each of the Republican senators hope, a relatively thin résumé can be a major liability, especially when the field could include current and former governors, such as Jeb Bush of Florida or Scott Walker of Wisconsin, who can claim executive experience. In addition, the GOP has a long track record of nominating presidential candidates with established national profiles who are seen as next in line — whether it was Mitt Romney, Bob Dole, George H.W. Bush or Ronald Reagan. In interviews with more than a dozen party elders and top GOP officials, many were quick to note that the senators’ collective lack of national experience will be a major hurdle should they run in 2016. No one is ready to rule out the trio based on their résumés alone, but the Obama era has left many worried about a Republican following the president’s trajectory and replicating what the GOP believes are his ample mistakes. “That’s a big deal,” said Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.). “People are going to be looking for an adult: an individual who can make decisions under crisis after watching the president learn on the job.” “Certainly, the last five years may have made people think that [executive experience is] more valuable than perhaps they
thought it was before,” added Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.). Still, the 2016 field is wide open on the GOP side — and even some Republican governors looking at a White House run lack hefty résumés themselves. The three senators’ efforts to position themselves suggest that each is, in essence, asking to be judged mainly on the strength of his ideas — not strictly on whether he has enough experience for the job. Rubio, 42, has been globetrotting to beef up his foreign policy credentials while methodically rolling out domestic proposals on topics ranging from battling poverty to overhauling retirement programs, an issue he will discuss Tuesday at the National Press Club. Paul, 51, has been traveling across the nation, trying to showcase his appeal beyond conservative base voters by pushing economic policy measures he says will appeal to a diverse See Trio, Page 8

and, under the same deck where the juvenile had been found, a black and silver colored .38 caliber revolver. All three suspects, Delaney reports, were arrested for armed robbery, possession of a firearm without a license, possession of ammunition without a firearms ID card and breaking and entering a building in the nighttime with intent to commit a felony. The juvenile suspect was not identified. The revolver, Dickinson found later, had been registered to a city resident. He said that, when asked by phone, the owner said that he had traded the gun away at a gun show some time ago. He told Dickinson that he was out of town but promised to speak with him and provide the paperwork he has for the gun upon his return to the city. Dickinson said that when the Springfield officers booked
Funding Continued from Page 1 interruption of water and sewer services. “What is unusual is that we’re replacing the sewer lines. The city doesn’t typically do that, but in this instance we have to take out and replace those lines because there is significant inflow and infiltration of ground water,” Cressotti said. “There is also an issue of asbestos pipes sitting in high ground water.” The BPW voted to fund the contract awarded to Gagliarducci Construction Inc. of Springfield to replace water and sewer lines, as well as to bury overhead utilities and repave streets and off-street parking lots in the neighborhood designated as the Gas Light District. The BPW also voted to approve a change order in the amount of $11,400 for the design of the North Elm Street and Notre Dame Street intersection reconstruction project which will add dedicated turning lanes both north and south on North Elm Street. Cressotti said the change order to the design effort, being performed by Tighe & Bond, is the result of citizen suggestions and concerns raised last month at an informational hearing. Residents requested that a truck exclusion be established for lower Notre Dame Street, a process that requires state Department of Transportation review and approval. Cressotti said the Can You Help Sarah? DOT will need specific data to consider the truck exclusion request from the city. Trucks will be directed down North Elm Street to the turnabout just south of Depot Square and from there to Union www.sarahgillett.org Street. Tighe & Bond will also submit data for establishing that as a designated truck route to the DOT.
the suspects they were found to be in possession of cash which he said “was balled up in a way they found odd” and the investigators called area departments until they found a similar crime had been reported in Westfield. He said that, with the arrest of the suspects in Springfield, his challenge became to confirm that the juvenile suspect was the person who entered and robbed the store in Westfield but that task became manageable when the juvenile suspect gave a statement admitting to that crime. Dickinson said that he expects that physical evidence from the Cumberland Farms store, including fingerprints left on the cash drawer, will clinch his case. He also said that the robber there was polite, quoting him as saying to the clerk “I didn’t mean to hurt you. Times are tough.” as he took the money from the cash drawer.

Shop Smart
A Guide to Saving Money on Food By Jennifer Giffune Correspondent You need two items at the supermarket, and quickly run in to get them. Thirty minutes later, you leave with half a cart of food and a wallet $75 lighter. You are not alone in spending your hard earned money food shopping. According to the USDA Center for Nutrition Policy & Promotion, a family of four spends $148 – $294 per week on food; about $15,000 a year! In this day and age every penny counts! So, learn ways to save money on food. Menus Work Plan a menu based upon taste and health issues but keep in mind sale items, coupons and seasonal foods. If you make a menu for longer than a week, be flexible and take advantage of sales. Clip Coupons There is a right way to use coupons (clipping coupons only for items you already intend to buy) and a wrong way (buying foods just because you have coupons). People often spend more when using coupons because they buy unnecessary items only because a coupon is offered. Try online options (e.g. coupons.com) and go direct to manufacturers as well as newspaper circulars. “Todays Special” Worth Every Penny
Some sale items are surprise offerings. How often have you seen a sticker stating, “Today’s Special”? It is often worth it to buy it and adapt the menu. You will often find these special sales at thrift stores. “Day Olds” to the Rescue Many stores have a section that offer foods close to the expiration date and/or have damaged packaging available for less than the usual price. If the food item is close to the expiration date, make sure you either eat or process it right away. Buy Food in Bulk Buying food in bulk from a big discount store (e.g. BJ’s or Costco) can save money as long as you can eat or process it before it goes bad. Avoid that issue by splitting the food with another (split the cost of the membership, too!). Bulk shopping can lead to cooking in bulk; make multiple meals and freezing them. Seasonal Foods Make the Grade Annually, more people discover the value of buying fresh produce and meats from local farmers. Buying in season is an excellent way to get fresh, nutrient dense foods, which tend to be less processed. Try a farmer’s markets or buy a “food share”. A food share is a contracted amount of weekly produce/
lose weight, keep in mind that portion control of foods leads to cost savings; eat less, buy less. Also, when dieting, less money is spent on junk food such as cookies, chips and candy. meats that you and the farmer agree upon. To find farms/ farmers markets near you, contact Community Supported Agriculture of Western Massachusetts (CISA) at One Sugarloaf Street/South Deerfield/MA 01373 or call (413) 665-7100 or online at www.buylocalfood.org Grow Your Own Having your own garden is an ideal way to save money. You will need basic supplies (e.g. seeds/plants, trowel, watering can/hose), and a plot of land with direct sunlight. An excellent resource is Cooperative Extension at http://ag.umass.edu for those new to gardening. Make Your Own Food “Convenience” Foods The more you have to do to prepare a meal (wash, cut, combine, cook), the more money you usually save. If you can walk out of the store with the meal ready to eat, then you have just paid a lot for convenience. Also, premade foods tend to be higher in calories, fat, sugar and sodium putting you at risk for
weight gain and chronic disease. Bring Your Lunch From Home Eating out adds thousands to your already stretched food budget. Make sure you have an insulated lunch bag/cooler, thermos and/or kitchenette at work. Plan your meals and make them the night before in order to avoid the morning rush. Eat a Healthy Diet “It costs too much to eat healthy” is a common misbelief. Shop smart (as directed above) and you can eat well and save money. In general, it can it can be more costly to buy healthy foods over white bread, luncheon meats, chips and soda. Consider the full cost of poor eating – obesity and chronic disease. Tack on the cost of doctor visits, medications, tests and equipment to those cheaper foods and healthy ones suddenly seem more reasonable. Also, if you are trying to
Don’t Shop Hungry Eat a meal or at least a snack before you step into the store. When you are starved, everything looks good and saving money goes out the window. It may take a little time to plan shopping. Your wallet will thank you when the bill is cut. Even a 5- 10 percent savings adds up. Remember that
family of four? A 10 percent savings would result in over $1500 saved each year.

Trio Continued from Page 4 array of Americans, including young people and those in inner cities who typically lean Democrat. And Cruz, 43, is trying to show that he has been spearheading the right’s fight in his 15 months in Washington, whether it’s on Obamacare, the deficit or Benghazi. That sort of leadership, the senator says, is what voters will be looking for in the next presidential election. “… I intend to vote for whoever is standing up and leading [and] making the case we need to get back to our free market principles, we need to get back to our constitutional liberties,” Cruz, a former Texas solicitor general, said when asked about his experience in a recent interview. “And by any measure, there are five, 10, 15 people that seem to be thinking about potentially running [for president]. I would encourage every one of them to do exactly that — to stand up and lead to make the case to reach voters who are not hearing the message otherwise, to reach young people and Hispanics and African Americans and single moms.” Paul and his advisers dismiss suggestions that he is not qualified for the White House, even though the son of a former congressman and career ophthalmologist won his first elective office less than four years ago. “No, I don’t think many people are interested in that,” Paul said when asked if his lack of political experience would be a liability come 2016. He added: “I haven’t decided whether I’m going for it.” Doug Stafford, Paul’s senior political adviser, said: “We have had great presidents who were governors, and terrible presidents who have been governors. Often the problem with senators who run for office is not that they haven’t been here long enough, it’s the exact opposite: Too often, they have been in Washington too long.” Like Paul, Rubio also won his Senate seat in 2010. But he’s served in elective office since he was in his late 20s, first as a city commissioner in West Miami from 1998-2000 before heading to Tallahassee for eight years in the Florida Legislature, rising to become state House speaker in 2006. His allies note he’s had a longer tenure in elected office than even governors and potential 2016 rivals such as Chris Christie of New Jersey and Bush, his onetime mentor. When asked about his 2016 bona fides, Rubio was quick to point to his political highlights and service in the leadership of a legislature of the “third-largest state in the country.” Rubio reiterated over the weekend that he’d be ready to serve as president. “I think people who run for office are going to be judged on a series of criteria — and certainly, I think that having experience running a state is something that people who have that are going to argue it’s to their benefit,” Rubio said in an interview. Some of Rubio’s colleagues, including Burr and Graham, say his background as speaker of the state house could help diffuse some of the questions over his experience. “One was speaker of the House, that is pretty impressive — that is a legislative accomplishment, running a body,” Graham said when asked about his three colleagues. “The others are going to have to say, ‘I’m not a conservative Barack Obama — in over my head.’” But less-experienced politicians also have less baggage than what could dog a more senior contender — much like the controversial votes that hounded Democrat John Kerry in 2004 and Republican John McCain in 2008. Obama, with his calls to bring “hope” and “change” to Washington, certainly managed to use his shorter résumé to his advantage. “At the end of the day, the American people spoke in 2008, and they decided they wanted something new,” noted Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.). Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) said that even though Obama lacked experience — serving less than one full term in the Senate and only seven-plus years in the Illinois state Senate — he was able to usher through an ambitious agenda in his first term. That, he said, should show that even a freshman-senatorturned-president can get legislation through Congress. (Obama was 47 when he won the presidency.) “I think there’s an overemphasis on the managerial experience that has to do with the executive branch,” King said. Moreover, even governors-turned-presidents can run into problems in office. “While being governor is good training, going from a position of the United States Senate — or governor of a state — to the presidency of the United States is like going from eighthgrade basketball to the NBA finals,” said Sen. Lamar Alexander, a former two-time GOP presidential candidate and ex-governor of Tennessee. “It’s a big jump.” Still, Alexander said: “I think you get an advantage if you had executive experience, and I think after President Obama, Republican primary voters are going to be looking for that.” Just 16 former senators have served as president, and only three — Obama, John F. Kennedy and Warren G. Harding — went directly to the White House from the Senate. That could bode well for the array of governors and former governors thinking about a run. “I think the next president needs to be a person committed to managing this government,” said Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.). “They will have to demonstrate that in the campaign. It won’t be enough to have some good ideas.” “The issue is that the federal government is a very, very complicated organization,” said GOP Sen. Mike Johanns, a former Nebraska governor. “And if you don’t understand it, it’s hard to manage. And therein lies the problem.” But Johanns quickly added that it’s clear that generating “headlines” has “a lot to do with getting elected” — maybe more than anything else.

By Chris Putz Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The two-time defending Western Massachusetts Division 1 champions made their case to named to the state’s new eight-man tournament, dubbed the “Super Eight,” with a superb comeback Tuesday night. Westfield rallied from four runs down to defeat Cathedral 5-4 in a high school baseball thriller at Bullens Field. Brent Houle landed the game-winning hit in the bottom of the seventh as the Bombers posted three runs in the inning to cap the comeback. “I never had a walk-off hit at any level since Little League,” said Houle, who also pitched 3
2-3 innings of relief for the victory. Houle’s heroic at-bat was just one of several big hits for Westfield in the seventh inning. Jake Toomey and Kenny McLean opened the bottom half of the seventh with swinging base hits. Cody Neidig followed with a wellplaced bunt single, beating out the defense, and forcing a wild throw to score one run and pull Westfield within 4-3. Colin Dunn tied the game with an RBI single. With first base open, Cathedral opted to intentionally walk Chris Sullivan (1-for-1, 3 walks) to load the bases, setting up Houle’s dramatics. “These kids learned that they have to play all 21 outs hard,” Westfield coach Rich
Discenza said. Cathedral opened the scoring, drawing a bases-loaded walk in the top of the third inning. The Panthers took a 3-0 lead in the fourth when Andrew Noonan blasted a 335-foot, 2-run homer over the left field fence. They tacked on what they thought was an insurance run in the fifth on a squeeze play. Westfield starting pitcher Matt Irzyk pitched out of several jams early before giving way to Houle in the fourth after the home run blast. Cathedral pitcher Kevin Hassett received the loss. He struck out five batters and allowed just three hits prior to the seventh inning. Westfield began its comeback in the sixth inning when Craig Lacey and Houle singled

around a Sullivan walk to load the bases. The Bombers scored on a fielder’s choice and a passed ball to cut the lead in half, setting the stage for the dramatic seventh. “This was huge for the ‘Super Eight,’” Houle said. “If we keep up our intensity, I feel we have a real good shot at that. We leveled the playing field (tonight).” According to beat writers for ESPN.com, Westfield and Cathedral were seated atop the polls for what analysts feel may be the only spot a Western Massachusetts team may claim in the new eight-man tourney, which will be announced later this month. The Panthers (11-5) won the first meeting, 3-0. The season series is now tied 1-1. “What’s going to happen is going to happen,” coach Discenza said, noting a tough 3-game stretch Thursday-Saturday. Westfield will resume an extra inning affair against the Lancers Thursday at Longmeadow, beginning at 4 p.m. The game will begin cleanly in the top of the Cathedral senior pitcher Kevin Hassett delivers 14th inning.

Extra special ‘W’ By Chris Putz Staff Writer WESTFIELD – It was an extra special senior night for one local high school sports team. Westfield avenged a regular season loss to Chicopee Comp with a four-set victory in high school boys’ volleyball action Tuesday night in the team’s final home game of 2014. The Bombers won 26-24, 15-25, 25-22, 25-20 to improve to 9-5. “It was a huge win for us on senior night against a team that beat us and is ahead of us in the standings,” Westfield coach Tyler Wingate said. “It was an awesome way to send our seniors out.” Nine seniors were recognized during a pregame ceremony. Noah Buchanan (10 kills), John Oleksak (7 kills, 2 blocks), Ryan Bucko (6 kills, 4 blocks), Ivan Zuev (24 digs, 2 aces), Chris Paradis (25 assists), and Patrick Wroth (4 kills, 9 digs) led Westfield. The Bombers next play at Agawam Thursday night.

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
How do I present this? Dear Annie: I’ve been close friends with “Jane” for years. Recently, Jane said she feels I do not listen or validate her problems but instead offer her unsolicited advice when all she wants to do is vent. I apologized for not being a good listener. But, Annie, she complained to me that she is losing her job and her house and wants to leave her husband. My “unsolicited advice” was that she seek counseling. Jane became angry and said she doesn’t need counseling. When Jane told me she needed to clean her garage but felt overwhelmed by the mess, I offered to help. I said we could do a few hours at a time and be done in a couple of months. She again became angry and said her plan was to hire strong men and have it done in a few hours. The last time she “vented,” she said her daughter, “Lilly,” misses a lot of class because she has stomach problems, dizziness and keeps injuring her feet. Annie, I’ve never seen this girl so much as limp, and when her mother isn’t around, she’s absolutely fine. When Lilly was little, she told me she wanted to be a boy, and as a pre-teen, she dresses like one. She bullies other girls and often goes to school with dirty hair and has body odor. I work with troubled children and families, yet when I suggested to Jane that Lilly’s constant illnesses may be stressrelated, she became defensive and said it was probably an ear infection. Recently, a mutual friend who is a counselor confided to me that she thinks Lilly might have sexual identity issues. How do I present this to Jane without her accusing me of attacking her? -- Friend with Good Intentions Dear Friend: You can’t. Jane is in denial about herself and her daughter. She also has made it quite clear that she doesn’t want to hear your advice, suggestions or opinions. When she vents to you, simply nod your head sympathetically. Anything more will get her dander up. The school should be paying attention to Lilly’s constant illnesses and discussing the possibility of stress with Jane. You might bring it up to the school counselor. Dear Annie: I live in a 55 and older community. At some of our events, the emcee thinks nothing of having a benediction ending with “in Jesus’ name.” The people here are a variety of different religions, and some are atheists. I have confronted the emcee, saying his prayer is inappropriate. I suggested that he say his grace at his own table and not subject the rest of us to his religious beliefs. Any other suggestions as to what I can do? I can’t let this go. -- Not a Christian Dear Not: It is inappropriate to give a specific religious blessing in a nondenominational setting. Either the blessing must go, or every group should be permitted to give its own version. You need to speak to whoever is in charge of arranging these events and ask that the practice be stopped. We understand that those who agree with this man’s religious views see no harm in it, but it is terribly offensive to others. There is no reason to create ill will in your community over something easily remedied. Dear Annie: “Thought I’d Found the One” was dating a divorced man for three years. They traveled, spent weekends together and got along well, but he didn’t want to live together. My husband and I have been married for 15 years, and we’ve never lived together. We both were divorced and comfortable in our own homes and with our “alone” time. We find it a treat to see each other for midweek date nights, and we enjoy traveling and weekends together. Another couple we know just bought side-by-side condos. The commitment to each other doesn’t have to mean being together 24/7. -- L. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
HINTS FROM HELOISE Microwave Misinformation Dear Heloise: I have been told by a friend that MICROWAVING FOOD depletes all the nutrients from it and makes food unhealthy. Can you please confirm if this information is accurate? -- A Reader, via email Well, it actually is not accurate. Any cooking will remove some of the nutrients from the food being cooked, but microwaving is considered one of the best cooking methods for retaining nutrients. Why? Because microwaving is fast and uses less heat and smaller amounts of liquid. Here is an easy-to-understand example: cooking vegetables in water on the stovetop. We know, for example, that cooking broccoli in water will result in most antioxidants being pulled out of the broccoli and into the water during the time it takes to heat up and cook completely to the desired doneness. In the microwave, cooking for less time and using less water means less chance of nutrient loss, making the microwave a much better cooking method, nutritionally. -- Heloise P.S.: Visit my website, www.Heloise.com, for links to my Facebook and Twitter pages - hints, fun facts and more!

DOG EAT DOUG
Brian Anderson
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, May 14, 2014: This year your ability to harness various perspectives will determine your success. You become more open, as well as wise, in your interpersonal relationships. If you are single, you could meet many interesting people, though most of them might not be what you desire for a long-term bond. The process of choosing the right person could be exciting. If you are attached, the two of you click as you used to. Don’t hesitate to develop a new hobby together -- it can only add to your relationship. Do not try to make your sweetie agree with you; instead, respect your differences. SCORPIO often challenges you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Optimism flows among your peers with the exception of one person. You might feel as if others are testy, especially when the issue is money! You have a lot to share, but a boss or respected associate might not listen to your ideas. Tonight: Juggle different concerns. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You might need to go along with someone else’s ideas and leadership, even if just for today. If you stop and think about it, both of you have the same bottom-line issue; you simply have very different approaches. Feelings run high at the moment. Tonight: Be a little wild. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Pace yourself, and follow through on what you must do. If you start overthinking your words and actions, you could stall out and create a problem. You’ll need to call upon your self-discipline to complete what you must. Tonight: Get as much done as possible. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You seem to have an answer when others are flustered. Friends could be as demanding as a loved one usually is. If you don’t know how to juggle, you are doing a masterful act. A partner could become quite determined. Listen to this person’s news. Tonight: Let the fun begin. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Pressure builds where you least anticipated it would. Someone close to you, like a roommate or a partner, could be singing the blues. A problem might surround your home or an investment. Your priorities are likely to change as a result. Tonight: Happily mosey on home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Choose your words with care. You might not be ready for a fast change that a statement could trigger. Tap into your creativity as well as your communication skills. A loved one might be quite smitten when it comes to you. Tonight: Hang out with friends. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You might feel as if you have much to learn before you can feel competent in a certain area of your life. Your domestic situation might be transforming in front of your eyes. News co mes in from a distance that might put you in a more amorous mood. Tonight: Use caution with funds. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH You will see a way of bypassing a problem. Be open to possibilities that you normally would not come up with on your own. You’ll see how differently others think and how there are no answers written in stone. Tonight: All smiles. The world is your oyster. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You might be keeping certain personal matters to yourself and refusing to share them. Some of you could be depressed. A risk around money will be unusually tempting, but how are you going to handle it if it should backfire? Tonight: Do something specifically for you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Emphasize what you want and expect from certain friends in your life. Be more upbeat in how you approach a friendship, even if the person is difficult or remote at times. For that matter, understand that you have similar moods at times. Tonight: Where the gang is. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You might want to take a stand and handle a personal matter far differently from how you have in the
Cryptoquip
Crosswords
past. You’ll have your hands full with work and your personal life. A relationship likely will add high-voltage energy to your life. Tonight: Burn the midnight oil. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Keep seeking a different vision or a new understanding of what might be workable. A friendship is in the process of developing into a much deeper bond. Indulge a female pal who makes your life easier. Tonight: Where there is great music.

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.
