Plans for a new community television studio underway By Amy Porter Correspondent WESTFIELD – With the recent passage by the City Council on January 18 to transfer $28,750 from the PEG (public, educational and governmental) des- ignated account to the full-time salaried account, and the acceptance at the same meeting of Peter Cowles, Jr. as the Media Systems Specialist for a term of one year, the city is on its way to creating a new community television studio at Westfield Technical Academy. The $28,750 pays for six-months of the salary for the position. Working in conjunction with the school district, the plan is to turn half of the print shop at the Technical Academy into a radio and television recording stu- dio, with a separate entrance for the school studio and the community studio. “We hired Pete Cowles to help set it up,” said Mayor Brian P.

Dear Annie: You frequently write about tipping, but I’ve never seen a column about housekeepers, which is one of the hardest jobs, in my opinion. I am 67 years old and have been employed for four years at minimum wage. We clean up to 20 rooms a day. For example, today I cleaned 16 rooms and received one $3 tip, which I appreci- ated. If guests left even a dollar or two, it would be great. Please address this issue. -- Working Hard for the Money Dear Working Hard for the Money: I’m printing your letter as a reminder to anyone staying at a hotel to leave a tip for the housekeeper. From what I gather, $2 per night is stan- dard. And based on what I’ve heard from other hotel house- keepers who have written to me, it’s best to leave the tip each night rather than just at the end of a stay, because housekeep- ers rotate shifts. Dear Annie: I once befriended a neighbor I had met on trips that were organized by my town’s Parks and Recreation Department. She and her husband were both elderly, and they had no children. As she aged, our friendship grew, espe- cially after her husband died, and we spent pleasant times together over tea. I’d take her on her errands. Once or twice when I stopped by, her nieces were there. Word got back to me that these nieces thought I was trying to get into my friend’s good graces so that she’d remember me in her will, which certainly wasn’t true. I never wanted more from my friend than a cup of tea and a belly laugh, which I always got. These were people who, she told me, could not even trouble to phone her every day to make sure she was still in the land of the living. When she was in her 90s, her nieces persuaded her to come and live in their attic. They sold her home and took her away.
