City Post Office to be named for Trant WESTFIELD – The Westfield Post Office, located at the 8 West Silver Street, will host a renaming ceremony at 10 a.m. on June 22 to dedicate the building to William T. Trant. Trant served in the US Army from 1943 to 1946. He was the first soldier wounded in the first wave of the Allied assault on Utah Beach in Normandy and was again wounded in one of the worst battles in American History, the Battle of the Bulge, where he was left for dead in a frozen foxhole. Rescued by comrades, he considered the final phase of military service to have the most impact on him when, as a 20-year-old soldier, he walked through the gates of Nordhausen and bore personal witness to the aftermath of one of the most horrific events in history: the slaughter of more than 3,000 men, women and children. For his service, Corporal Trant was awarded a Purple Heart with one Oak Leaf Cluster, a Bronze Arrowhead, Certificate of Merit and an EAME (Europe-Africa-Middle East) campaign ribbon with five bronze battle stars, among other commendations. Upon his return to civilian life, he worked at the Westfield Post Office and then left briefly to pitch for the Quebec Alouettes in the New York Giants system. He began his 33-year career with the Postal Service in 1948 and rose through the ranks to become Postmaster of Westfield, and was later promoted to Manager of Procurement at the USPS Northeast Regional office. He was a member of the Westfield City Council for 14 years and served briefly as Mayor. The event will feature remarks from Trant’s son Timothy, who serves as Legislative Advisor to the Chief of Naval Personnel and Deputy Chief of Naval Operations, in Washington, DC; Congressman Richard E. Neal; Mayor Daniel M. Knapik; USPS District Manager David D. Mastroianni Jr.; Westfield Postmaster Mirta LaBoy and others. A special cancellation will be offered to commemorate the event. General parking will be available in the surrounding businesses, the middle school and Boy & Girls Club parking lots. Only program speakers will be allowed to park inside the Post Office parking lot. The event is free and open to the public. “This is a very proud day for our family. This dedication of the Westfield Post

Sullivan appointed Chief of Staff
RICHARD K. SULLIVAN JR.
By Peter Francis Staff Writer BOSTON – Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs and former Westfield Mayor Richard K. Sullivan has been appointed Chief of Staff to Massachusetts Governor Deval L. Patrick. Patrick, who has stated he will not seek reelection this year, referred to Sullivan as “an extraordinary leader” and “great manager” who “has enormous respect within the administration
and beyond.” “I’m absolutely humbled that the Governor has asked me to step into this new role for him in his last six months,” Sullivan said yesterdday. “I think it will be exciting, certainly a huge professional lerning experience. There’s always a hint of trepidation when you’re walking into something new, and this is a big responsibility as we go to close out the Governor’s aggressive agenda in the last six months.” First elected Mayor for the City
of Westfield in 1994, Sullivan left that post in 2007 when he was appointed commissioner of the Department of Conservation and Recreation by Patrick, who had just been elected to his first term as Governor. Sullivan was then appointed Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs in 2011 at the start of Patrick’s second term, in which he oversaw the Departments of Environmental See Sullivan, Page 3

Stray shopping cart solution sought By Hannah Y. Meader WHS Intern WESTFIELD- Unsightly shopping carts left in residential areas around the city are a problem for the businesses which own the carts and the residents who find them on their property. “It’s a quality of life issue,” said Community Police Officer Mark Carboneau.”It’s definitely an eyesore. Residents don’t like to see them”. He said the shopping carts are each worth over $250 and removing them from the parking lots is technically larceny. Despite this fact, proving that a person intentionally stole a shopping cart is a grey area. Without proper signs indicating shopping cart policies, Carboneau said that it is very hard to charge persons because they frequently claim they were told that they
could take them and because it would be hard to prove that they intended to keep them. “It’s their word against ours,” said Carboneau. “Since there’s nothing about the regulation in writing (in parking lots) we are at a standstill”. He said that although supermarkets have shopping cart inventory checks and have employees who pick up carts which have strayed, those effort are insufficient to deal with the issue of abandoned carts in the city. Carboneau said he has advised local supermarket managers that posted signs warning customers of the law would allow police more leverage in charging people who steal the carts, but without such signs the police have limited options. Residents who see lost carts may call the stores the carts came from so that the owners may recover their property.

SC police seek man who used fudge bar in attack ROCK HILL, S.C. (AP) — Authorities in South Carolina say a man who was not in good humor smacked an ice-cream truck driver with a fudge bar in a dispute over correct change after his daughter bought the frozen confection. The ice cream vendor told Rock Hill, South Carolina, police the man accused her of not giving his daughter correct change after a purchase. That’s when the fudge bar was allegedly employed as a weapon. Police officers who responded to the call Wednesday reported they saw a red mark on the driver’s arm. The driver gave officers a description of the man and the white truck he used for a getaway vehicle. The police report did not say whether he took the fudge bar with him.

Sullivan Continued from Page 1 Protection, Public Utilities, Energy Resources, Conservation & Recreation, Agricultural Resources and Fish & Game. He also serves as Chairman of the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, the Energy Facilities Siting Board, and the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center. “When I came in as Secretary, there was a very aggressive agenda on clean energy, and I think we have followed through on the policies that the Governor put in during his first term,” Sullivan said. “Today, we’re number one in the nation in energy efficiency, we’ve grown the solar industry from three megawatts in 2007 to just about 500 megawatts.” Sullivan listed among his proudest achievements while with the EEA the creation and marketing of the Commonwealth’s water innovation cluster and an emphasis on environmental issues. “The work around land preservation and conservation – we now have over 110,000 acres of land thats in protection today that was not in protection in 2007 – and being able to work with our environmental agencies to deploy clean, renewable energy and efficiencies,” he said. “We’re bringing the Governor’s vision to fruition in terms of how energy and the environment can work together.” Brendan Ryan, Patrick’s current Chief of Staff, is departing the post in order to lend his
services to the Together PAC, the Governor’s political action committee. “I know that he (Patrick) will be well served by Rick Sullivan, who has been a leader in this Administration for many years,” said Ryan. “(Sullivan) is the right person to lead a talented and dedicated Governor’s office for the duration of this year.” Asked what his plan is for the post-Patrick era, Sullivan said he is focused on the here and now. “Of course everybody thinks of what’s next because we all know January 7 is circled on the calender and the Patrick Administration will come to an end.” he said. “I will have to see what’s next, I can’t tell you exactly what that is, but there will be a next chapter.” “I certainly never rule out public service at all – I’ve had 20 years plus of public service and am proud of that service – but I also would not rule out going back to the private sector,” Sullivan continued. “We’ll see whats out there. I feel good about where I am personally, but I’m really more happy about where Governor Patrick has taken the state.” Undersecretary Maeve Vallely Bartlett will take over for Sullivan. Bartlett has also held several other posts in state government and with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Patrick expanding political reach By STEVE LeBLANC Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick is adding staff to his political action committee and wading into campaigns in Texas and Georgia as he expands his national political reach. Patrick yesterday said longtime aide and current chief of staff in the governor’s office — Brendan Ryan — would be joining his Together PAC. The Democratic governor said the addition of Ryan will allow the PAC to send staff to help consult with candidates in other parts of the country. Patrick said the PAC has already been active in the Texas governor’s race on the Democratic side and in a Senate contest in Georgia. Patrick said that help sometimes involves writing checks to candidates, but more often consists of offering advice and helping candidates frame their arguments when talking with voters. “We’re doing work with a number of candidates around the country in advancing what we’ve described before

Several students have told me that John is their favorite faculty member at WSU.” Since joining Westfield State in 2012, McDonald has created three new field-based classes: Natural History and Field Techniques, Natural Resources Conservation and Management, and Wildlife Conservation and Management. McDonald said that after working in the field for two decades, he wanted to pass his knowledge along to students and Westfield State offered the ideal opportunity to do so. “I wanted to be in a position to influence students and share what I have learned in the course of working with practicing natural resource managers over the past 20 years,” McDonald said. “Our location and ability to access a wide variety of field sites in just a short drive or walk from campus allows me to do a lot of hands-on, or boots on, labs with my courses.” Previously, McDonald worked for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for 9 years, where he worked in the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program administering over $30 million in grants each year to state fish and wildlife agencies and serving as Acting Division Chief. He was a Bullard Fellow in Forest Conservation at Harvard Forest, worked for the Mass DEP, was a Wildlife Ecologist and adjunct professor at Southern Illinois

John is currently the Northeast Section Representative to The Wildlife Society’s governing council and founded and coordinates the Northeast Section’s two-week Field Course conducted in cooperation with the Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife and Castleton State College in Vermont. When asked who his role models in the field were, McDonald said he admires retired biologist from the U.S. Forest Service Dr. Bill Healy, who he worked with at UMass, for his teaching methods. “Bill’s approach to working with students and his dedication to our profession is a model I try to use,” McDonald said.
McDonald said he’s most proud of the fieldwork he did in Massachusetts on deer management where he developed a research program to answer the necessary questions to make changes to the deer management system and then also developed and worked within the agency and with its regulatory board to implement the regulations. McDonald said he was flattered when he learned he’d won the award, especially since it’s only given out on years that the Wildlife Society feels there is a deserving nominee. “I was surprised and really honored,” McDonald said. “I’ve served on award committees before and nominated people for awards and appreciate the time it takes to put together a nomination. I was really gratified to imagine someone thought that highly of me.”

I went to donate blood today at Noble Hospital and was shocked and saddened to hear that the hospital is closing down their blood donor center. I have been donating blood every 8 weeks for many years and I don’t understand why they would choose to close such a great community program. The girls there have been an absolute joy to be around. They are friendly, funny and always know your name. It also was nice to know that my blood was going to help my neighbors and the other people in the community. Noble Hospital is excited to announce we have partnered with Baystate Reference Laboratories to provide clinical diagnostic laboratory services at Noble Hospital. Baystate Health and Baystate Reference Laboratories provide state-of-the-art services throughout Western New England. We are pleased to be able to partner with the premier health organization in our region that consistently ranks among the top hospitals and health systems in the country. Noble Hospital will maintain its on-site lab services including the Blood Donor Center with no interruption or closure of services. It is not every day you get the opportunity to work with such a prestigious Health System like Baystate Health… this is good for our patients and community. – Ronald P.

Poll: Army most important branch By Kendall Breitman Politico.com Americans consider the U.S. Army to be the most important branch of national defense, according to a poll released Friday. The Gallup survey shows that the Army leads in importance to Americans with 25 percent, closely followed by the Air Force at 23 percent. The Marines received 19 percent and the Navy was chosen by 17 percent. Americans considered the Coast Guard to be the least important of the five at 3 percent. The results represent a change from previous times that Gallup conducted this poll. In 2001 and 2002, Americans said that the Air Force was the most important. By 2004, the Air Force, Marines and Army were given almost equal standing and in 2011 the Army was bestowed the most importance with the Marines trailing in a close second. “This shift in opinion most likely stemmed from the heavy ground combat in Iraq and Afghanistan in the 2000s and early 2010s,” the Gallup analysis of the poll stated. “The Army, the largest branch of the military, has likely improved its standing in the U.S. public’s eyes as a result of the role it played in these conflicts.” But importance does not mean prestige. While the Army is considered the most important, the Marines have consistently been considered the most prestigious branch of defense in each Gallup poll conducted since 2001. The poll was conducted among 1,028 adults from May 5 through 8. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

COMMENT
Obama’s VA response: Executive inaction By Edward-Isaac Dovere Politico.com President Barack Obama wants to talk about flexing his administrative and executive power to do more. Instead, he got stuck talking about a clear administrative and executive failure that, at least so far, he hasn’t done much about. And this one’s no contained, bureaucratic flub. The problems at the Veterans Affairs Department have engulfed an entire Cabinet department and may have left hundreds of thousands of veterans waiting for care, and 40 of them dead. The latest stumbles have been a fresh reminder of the story line the White House has been trying to recover from since the fall, when the Obamacare website flopped, the key poll numbers about the president’s competence collapsed so deeply that they’re still far from recovering, and Democrats went into an apocalyptic panic about the midterms. That’s exactly what Republicans have been hoping for. GOP leaders and officials have spent the last week talking about the backlogs and misconduct, but what they’re hoping voters hear is: Obama is still an unprepared executive who needs to be stripped of power in the midterms. Once again, they say, he’s presenting himself as an angry bystander, confronted with high-profile management failures on his watch that he says he learned about from news reports. Unlike in October, when Republicans focused their message on calling for Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to be fired, they’ve gone broader now, saying this is about more than VA Secretary Eric Shinseki, whom most have avoided calling on to resign or be fired. This, they say, is much, much bigger — the phrase that House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and his colleagues have been emphasizing is “systemic failure.” For Republicans hoping to make every election in November a referendum on the president, the VA situation is another weight to add to the anchor around Democrats’ necks, deepening Obama fatigue and frustration. “Whether it’s talking about accountability without holding anyone accountable or relying on internal political investigations instead of getting the truth, we are seeing a pattern in Obama’s lackluster management style,” said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus. “Obamacare, Benghazi, the IRS targeting
IRS to rewrite nonprofit rules amid criticism By Rachael Bade Politico.com The Internal Revenue Service will rewrite, without holding a public hearing, a proposed rule on the political activities of nonprofit groups, regulations that stemmed from the tea party controversy that rocked the agency last summer. The IRS said it will start writing a revised regulation amid criticism from both the left and especially the right, on the proposal to tighten rules governing the tax-exempt status of so-called social welfare organizations. “Given the diversity of views expressed and the volume of substantive input, we have concluded that it would be more efficient and useful to hold a public hearing after we publish the revised proposed regulation,” said an IRS statement to reporters Thursday. The agency says the rule will keep many of the same elements as the original proposal but will take the record number of comments into consideration for a new version. Some 150,000 written comments poured in, a record for the Treasury Department. The new rule, an IRS official said the move “certainly is not starting over and certainly not starting from scratch.” The IRS last year proposed the new regulation to limit the political activities of 501(C)4s, which operate under conflicting guidelines on the amount of political activity they can engage in and keep their tax perks. The new rules try to clarify the policy by defining what constitutes political activity. A controversy exploded last year when an inspector general report found its agents had been using words like “tea party” and “patriot” to flag political nonprofits for extra-scrutiny. The proposed rule is an attempt to clarify how nonprofits are flagged for extra scrutiny and assure the public they are not pulled merely because they fall in line with a political ideology. Still, Republicans called it an attempt by the Administration to single out conservative groups, though the rules would apply to both conservative and liberal groups equally. Critics also worried about the rule hindering nonpartisan activities

like voter registration. IRS Commissioner John Koskinen several weeks ago announced a potential re-write of the rule, but the agency was still expected to hold a hearing on the first version — until now. Republicans hailed the news, which was hinted at for months. “Today’s decision is a long overdue step in the right direction,” Senator Orrin Hatch, the top Republican on the finance committee said. “I am glad the IRS heard the concerns of hundreds of thousands of Americans, and I will continue to advocate for an IRS that is independent and nonpartisan.” House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.) said this the draft rule was “wrong from the start.” “The American people spoke out loud and clear against it, and hopefully the IRS and the Obama Administration will think twice before ever trying to go down this path again,” he said in a statement. The IRS would not say how much of the rule would be rewritten, nor what would change specifically, nor when to expect the new draft. Koskinen, however, has told lawmakers not to expect a finalized rule until probably next year. Philip Hackney, a law professor at Louisiana State University who spent five years at the IRS office of the chief counsel, said the some “bright-line rules” proposed in the draft proposal “struck me as probably going a bit too far.” For example, the proposed guidelines would characterize as political activity voter registration drives and preparation of voter guides. Although such cut-and-dry rules help the IRS, he said, he still thinks it’s one thing that might change in the new draft because “people are probably uncomfortable.” “[S]ome bright-line rules grabbed up people that you wouldn’t have expected them to grab up, like the League of Women Voters, determining that any kind of vote guides are, per se, political activity,” he said.
scandal and now the deaths at the VA, Americans don’t want to be asked for more time, they want to know action is being taken.” Obama went to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown Thursday to discuss a new presidential memorandum to reduce international travelers’ wait times at airports — but Wednesday at the White House, all he offered on the VA was a lot of anger and exasperation, an announcement of a few internal reviews and a vague promise of punishment for anyone found to be in the wrong. “Listen, if somebody is mismanaging or engaged in misconduct, not only do I not want them getting bonuses, I want them punished,” Obama said, caught as he tried to leave the podium by a question pressing him for even a baseline commitment to consequences. “So that’s what we’re going to hopefully find out from the IG report as well as the audits that are taking place.” But even Democrats have begun to ask: If this really is the Obama administration’s “year of action,” why wait for action on the VA? As Shinseki himself began calling and meeting with Democrats on the Hill in an attempt to stave off damage, Rep. Mike Michaud (D-Maine), the ranking member on the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee who’s running for governor back home in November, sent a letter to Obama calling for an executive order to increase VA accountability. “The president has expressed his outrage at the ongoing situation within the VA, and this is one opportunity for him to use his authority to put badly needed course corrections in place,” Michaud said in a statement about the letter. In response to the Republican argument on competence, the White House points to the Obamacare website turnaround and enrollment successes as the latest example of a strong administration record of tackling management failure. The BP oil spill was eventually capped, they say. After disclosures of wasteful spending, procedures at the General Services Administration were changed. The contract process that led to the Solyndra scandal at the Department of Energy was reformed. “This administration’s strong management track record stands up to scrutiny and to the high standards that Americans have for their government,” said White House spokesman Josh Earnest. “On those rare occasions when legitimate problems have emerged, we’ve moved quickly and effectively to fix them.” Obama himself on Wednesday pointed to the history of trouble at the VA and the improvements his administration has made over its predecessors in response, even as he noticeably backed away from defending Shinseki. Former Gov. Ed Rendell (D-Pa.) said he doesn’t think this argument will move anyone but the Republican base — which has already written off Obama as failed manager — and could potentially turn off voters. “If they’re trying to convince the public that the Obama administration is not competent, this is another arrow in their quiver,” Rendell said. “But if someone’s going to conclude that the Obama administration is incompetent, this pales in comparison to the implementation of the ACA. Voters understand that this was a problem for a long time, and Congress had a role, whereas the implementation of the ACA was squarely on the shoulders of the Obama administration.” John Bresnahan contributed to this report.

Westerman said Adolphe pointed it at the female, then
pointed it at Safo-Agyare and pulled the trigger. Defense lawyer Peter Ettenberg said it a terrible accident. He said Adolphe’s family tried to drive the wounded teen to a hospital as Adolphe tried to stop his bleeding with a towel. SafoAgyare died at the hospital.

Nature gets a glam makeover By KIM COOK Associated Press This year’s design shows, such as NY Now and the Architectural Digest Home Design Show, have featured eye-catching pieces by designers and artists who take elements from nature and give them glamorous makeovers. We’re seeing lots of metallic paint, tweaked shapes and polished finishes. The resulting art and furniture pieces can be as stunning as the inspiration from which they’re drawn. Molly McCall uses old techniques to create contemporary art pieces in her Carmel Valley, California, studio. Images of plants and butterflies are captured with light and sensitized paper in a process known as photogrammetry. McCall transfers some of the photograms onto glass plates, fusing the layers with a glaze of crushed glass that results in a finished plate similar to milk glass. “I try to look for new ways to see the world around me, and then capture that moment,” she says. The collection of prints, some on paper and others on metal, contains delicate, often ethereal imagery of wildflowers and grasses, and even a hummingbird in midflight. (www.mollymccall.com ) Welsh artist Michael Angove’s prints of flowers and greenery are made using 3-D scanning techniques. His studio in Wiltshire, England, studio sits in a garden full of ready inspiration. A frothy hydrangea is visited by lime-white butterflies; plump roses cascade in rich tones of velvety red, china blue or dovish pink and Can You Help Sarah? gray. His Topiary print was made by laying out 4,000 boxwood leaves in an intricate, damasklike pattern, to which Angove added tiny glittering beetles. The 3-D process creates a luxurious trompe l’oeil effect.

ibis appears to be taking nectar from a lily, and a bunting is landing on an iris as big as an oak tree. There’s a “Alice in Wonderland” vibe to the work that makes it striking wall art. (www.ysabellemay.com ) At Z Gallerie, you’ll find a menagerie of faux creatures cast in resin and finished with silver or gold. A herd of galloping horses; a slithering cobra; an octopus. There also are pretty, silvered-bamboo picture frames embellished with little beveled-mirror butterflies. Nickeltrimmed polished horn is crafted into the curvy Cheyenne accent table. The Antler side table’s realistic legs are cast in heavy-duty aluminum and then textured, just like the real thing.

No planting space? Try community gardening By DEAN FOSDICK Associated Press Community gardens are much more than neighboring plots. Given enough energy and enthusiasm, they morph into support groups, horticulture classes, swap meets or modest profit centers for low- and fixed-income growers. Small wonder there often is more demand than availability. Many have waiting lists. In the Los Angeles area, for example, it can be a year or more before people are able to acquire garden plots, said Yvonne Savio of the University of California Cooperative Extension in Los Angeles County. “Sometimes, people drive clear across town because that’s where their plot opened up first,” Savio said. “Some people bring their tools with them on the bus.” Locations are advertised in newspapers, on the Internet and on neighborhood bulletin boards. Sponsors vary from churches to hospitals, municipalities to large corporations. “One of our gardens is run by five guys from a church,” Savio said. “They literally farm. They plant what the parishioners want, then harvest the stuff and bring it to church every Sunday.” One Los Angeles-area hospital subsidizes a serenity garden. “They believe it’s healthier for people to

Corporations are doing it, too, as a perk to employees.” Community gardens range in size from a few 4-by-10-foot sections to several acres. They are managed either communally — the people in charge decide what needs to be done and when — or left open for individual use. Sites might be offered free, or priced from $5 to $50 and more per season. “Most gardens set fees because their expenditures in time, transportation (for gathering fertilizer, compost, mulch), water and storage are so high,” Savio said. Consider these elements of community gardening before signing up: — Know what you’re buying into. Many people join simply to work on their own in personal plots. Communal gar-

dening, however, is a commitment — a chance to interact and share cultures with others, Dawson said. Be open to teaching or learning. — Embrace giving. Part of the harvest often is donated to food pantries or people in need. — Engage in inter-generational gardening. “Our children come home from school telling us about composting and organic gardening,” Dawson said. “The elderly know how to preserve and put things by. Families should learn from each other and enjoy. Share stories.” — Turn surplus properties into green spaces. “Haul away the needles and trash and convert the areas into something beautiful and productive,” Dawson said. — Community gardening prompts families to make healthier food choices. “They get better at understanding the nutritional value of fresh carrots over fast foods,” he said. “And if the kids are growing it, they’re eating it.” — You can sell some or all of what you grow, Dawson said. “Gardeners can learn marketing skills, while at the same time get some seed money from their gardens.” ___ Online: http://www.communitygarden.org .

you must consider ways of leveraging your assets to your best gain. It is time to consider your options. Do you want to commit a large amount of money to the purchase of a lot? Or do you want to purchase a less labor-intensive home on leased land and keep your funds available for other purposes? Land ownership can be an expensive way to live; make sure to look at the entire picture. Consider who pays for maintenance, trash pickup, streets lights, water and sewer. Property ownership is important to some people. Others enjoy the lifestyle advantages offered by a land lease community and high quality of standards like Liberty Manor.

Rocco touches down at WHS Bombers football lands new head coach By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A new era of Bombers football has dawned. Westfield High School has hired its new head football coach, Rocco Fernandez, the school’s athletic director Karen Gomez announced Thursday. Fernandez, 28, is a graduate of Westfield High (2004) and Iona College (2008), who played Division I football and coached at three different levels of college football. “We are finally excited to have a coach for our program,” Gomez said. “We are excited to see the new direction this coach will take us. Football is the face of Westfield High.” For the last decade, Westfield fell under the tutelage of coach Bill Moore. Moore directed the Bombers to two Super Bowl appearances, a west sectional final (under the state’s new tournament last season), furthered the careers of several student-athletes at the next level, and hosted a NFL-sponsored camp in the offseason. The latest hiring is the ultimate handoff from one true professional to the next. “It’s a dream come true for me to get this this job – pursuing my dream of coaching and finally achieving that at Westfield High School,” Fernandez said. ‘I’m hoping to keep the winning tradition intact. Coach Moore has big shoes
to fill. Fernandez has already had a hulking presence as a Bomber, being a three-year starting lineman and senior team captain playing for the team. He served as a volunteercoach for Westfield High football in 2007, was the offensive line/tight ends assistant coach at Westfield State University (2009-10) and Post University in Waterbury, Conn. (’11), before taking over as the assistant coach for running backs at American International College (2012). Fernandez was one of three candidates interviewed for the head coaching position. “We had a good pool of candidates,” Gomez said. “All three were quality players or coaches.” The interview committee, a 5-member board, selected Fernandez, and met final approval from Superintendent of Schools Dr. Suzanne Scallion. What likely set Fernandez apart from the other two candidates – aside from his community roots – is his coaching philosophy. Fernandez is scrapping the triple option offense, in favor of the pistol offense and read option, which swept all throughout the college and pro ranks the past few years. This style of offense theoretically opens up more options for the offense, making for a more effective running game, and allowing dualthreat quarterbacks, who can run and throw, to flourish. One name
who comes to mind in the pro game that employs this type of offense: San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick. Another early success story at the pro level is Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly, who brought his version of the read option to the NFL from Oregon University. “Hopefully now we will be able to keep up with this modern offense that colleges are using,” Fernandez said. “Our players will be better acclimated to that style of offense.” The only drawback to this style of offense, critics say, is that quarterbacks are more susceptible to dangerous hits. In this day and age of concussion-awareness that may be cause for concern, but even in the triple-option attack (which is being phased out) a few Bombers’ field generals have taken a licking from time to time. While Fernandez knows quite while that crushing blows and violence are part of football, the Bombers new head coach noted the positive impact the game has on players. “The team aspect is huge – the camaraderie you get (from playing football),” Fernandez said. “I still have a lot of friends that I played football with in high school and college … and the skills that you learn on the football field translate later on in life in what you do for work.” Fernandez, who works in sales off the gridiron, has ensured school administrators that we will dedicate
himself to the players, the team, the program, the school – and even to Westfield Youth Football. Fernandez said he plans to meet with Westfield Youth Football League president Bob St. Pierre to begin implementing many of the same offensive and defensive schemes at the youth level that the high school team will employ this fall. That, in theory, should help lessen the learning curve for young athletes wishing to play at an older age. “(Rocco) has a long road ahead of him,” St. Pierre said, “but this is going to be a breath of fresh air in that it’s not the same offense and defense. He should breathe a little more life into the high school program, hopefully.” Westfield High School principal Jonathan Carter agreed. “We chose Rocco Fernandez because we think he’s the right person to continue taking a good program and making it even better in the future,” Carter said. “I want to thank coach Moore for taking the program to where it is today, and wish him good luck in the future.” According to Carter, Moore will remain at Westfield High on the academic side of things as a social studies teacher, a position he has been entrenched in for several years. While Carter tipped his cap to Moore’s coaching acumen, he also had much to say regarding the program’s new head coach. “(Rocco) has the right mentality,
ROCCO FERNANDEZ the right commitment, and belief system to continue not only putting out good results on Friday nights,” Carter said, “but also working to develop the confidence and character of the young men who participate on our football team.” “I look forward to many, many years ahead working together with him,” he added. “I am excited what this means for the Westfield community.” While Fernandez is unlikely to unveil his true game plan to the public prior to game day, he already has one play drawn up that fans are sure to enjoy. Said Fernandez: “I want to keep us in the playoffs, knock off Central, and take back the Western Mass. crown.” That should be music – or rather, the sounds of bone-crunching hits and raucous good-spirited fun - to the ears of everyone in the Whip City.
Rams stomp Smith By Chris Putz Staff Writer NORTHAMPTON – If anyone thought the Southwick-Tolland Regional High School softball team would quietly prepare for the postseason, they were completely and utterly wrong. Southwick is putting an exclamation point on its hugely successful regular season with a solid finish. The Rams whacked Smith Academy 17-1 Thursday. Sydney Rogers (3-for-4, home run, 4 runs, 2 RBIs), Morgan Harriman (2-3, 3 runs), Jenn Yelin (2-3, 2 runs, RBI), and Katelyn Sylvia (3-3, double, 2 triples, RBI) provided the offensive muscle for Southwick. Rams’ pitcher Emily Lachtara also had a stellar outing, allowing just two hits, no walks, and one unearned run. She struck out 12 batters.

Three hat tricks boost WHS Westfield 12, Mount Greylock Westfield closed out its regular season on a positive note, and now await the start of the postseason. Zach Gentle (3 assists), Sam Scarfo (assist), and Matt Chlastawa (assist) scored three goals apiece for Westfield. Bombers’ Anthony Sullivan finished with two goals and one assist, Luke Chlastawa netted a goal, and Ruslan Davledzarov collected a save. Westfield goalie Jake Cupak made 11 saves. The Bombers finish 14-3.
Godding, Renaissance slam Voke Renaissance 22, Westfield Voc-Tech 8 WESTFIELD – Renaissance pitcher Stephanie Godding earned a win on the mound, and ripped a grand slam in the fourth inning at Whitney Field. Westfield Voc-Tech (6-10) received a great defensive effort from catcher Johanna Velazquez and Catherine Oleksak, who tracked down four fly balls in center field. ED. NOTE – Softball coaches like Karen Gomez (WVT) and Matt Bonenfant (Gateway) need to be commended for reporting game reports all season long despite suffering through losing seasons. It is an attribute to their dedication to the players, their families, their respective schools, and should serve as an example for all other staffs to fol-

The Rangers were done in ultimately by Galchenyuk, but his heroics were set up by the fine goaltending of Montreal third-stringer Dustin Tokarski. In his second career NHL playoff game, the 24-year-old Tokarski stopped 35 shots and bounced back from a potentially crushing goal in the final seconds of regulation to lift the Canadiens to the stirring win. “I did everything I could,” said Tokarski, filling in for the injured Carey Price. “I played the same game all the way. I felt more comfortable as it went along. “So glad we overcame that late bounce and got the winner.” Chris Kreider, whose collision with Price in the opener led to the goalie’s series-ending injury, netted the tying goal with 28.1 seconds left to offset Danny Briere’s go-
ahead tally for Montreal with 3:02 remaining in regulation. Galchenyuk scored 13 goals in 65 regular-season games, and he had one previous playoff goal in six career games. “To be honest, I have no idea what happened,” Galchenyuk said. “(Tomas Plekanec) put it on net and it bounced off my stick or hit me. It went in, and the celebration started from there.” Canadiens coach Michel Therrien made the surprise decision to start the inexperienced Tokarski in Game 2 instead of veteran Peter Budaj, who was shaky in relief of Price in Game 1. NOTES: The Rangers were without forward Derick Brassard for the second straight game because of an upper-body injury in the series opener. ... New York is 10-2 in series it has led 2-0.

Buehrle pitches Blue Jays to 7-2 win over Sox By HOWARD ULMAN AP Sports Writer BOSTON (AP) — Mark Buehrle got his major leagueleading eighth win with a big boost from Toronto’s powerful lineup. Neither was surprising. “Look what he’s done all year,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said after a 7-2 win over the Boston Red Sox on Thursday. “Who’s pitched better in baseball?” Buehrle (8-1) has eight wins through May for the first time since 2002 and an ERA of 2.16. He gave up two runs in the first two innings, but by then Toronto had seven, starting with homers on consecutive pitches by Melky Cabrera and Jose Bautista in the first inning. That gave the Blue Jays a major league-high 67 homers and gave Buehrle a big cushion. The 15-year veteran lefty blanked the Red Sox for his final five innings and allowed seven hits and no walks while striking out five in seven innings. Dustin McGowan pitched two shutout innings as the Blue Jays took a half-game lead over the New York Yankees in the AL East. “It’s nice, obviously” to lead the majors in wins, “but I’ve always said you can go out your next eight starts and (stink) and be under .500,” Buehrle said. “I try to throw it out the window and get ready for my next start.” Toronto improved to 8-2 in its past 10 games, while Boston lost its seventh straight. The Red Sox went 0-6 on their homestand, the first time since June 1994, when they also lost six in a row at Fenway Park, that they were winless on a homestand of at least six games. “We’re in a stretch of games here where we’re giving up too many runs early and we’re scuffling to score runs,” Boston manager John Farrell said. “That’s a dangerous combination.” Red Sox ace Jon Lester (4-6) had his worst outing of the season, allowing seven

Then he settled down and retired 12 straight batters before giving up a single to Kevin Pillar with one out in the seventh. But Pillar was caught stealing. Lester left with one out in the seventh after allowing 10 hits and striking out just three. He had averaged an AL-best 10.83 strikeouts per nine innings. “The list goes on and on of things that I just flat out didn’t do,” Lester said. “I just wasn’t able to do it with anything. Pick a pitch, I wasn’t able to do it.” Buehrle retired 11 of his last 12 batters. He began the day tied with Zack Greinke, Rick Porcello and Adam Wainwright with seven wins each. The Dodgers’ Greinke was scheduled to pitch against the New York Mets on Thursday night. Buehrle’s only loss came at home against Boston on April 25 when he allowed seven runs in an 8-1 loss. Lester retired the first batter of the game, Jose Reyes, on a grounder. But Cabrera hit a 1-0 pitch for his eighth homer and Bautista followed with his 12th. “You never anticipate that
because (Lester’s) one of the best,” Gibbons said. In the second, six of Toronto’s first seven batters reached base on five hits and a walk. Steve Tolleson and Pillar singled and moved up on a sacrifice bunt by Anthony Gose. Reyes doubled in both runners and stole second. Cabrera walked and Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion followed with RBI singles. Bautista came across when Brett Lawrie grounded into a forceout at second, making it 7-1. The inning ended when center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. made a diving catch on a fly ball by Dioner Navarro. Boston scored in the first on a leadoff double by Dustin Pedroia and a single by Jonny Gomes then added a run in the second on Xander Bogaerts’ third homer. NOTES: Toronto manager John Gibbons lost a challenge in the sixth when the on-field ruling that Pillar was caught stealing was upheld. ... Bautista has reached base in 48 of his 49 games. ... Boston has been outscored 37-16 in its sevengame losing streak, its longest since dropping its last eight games in 2012. ... The Red Sox open a three-game series against Tampa Bay on Friday night with John Lackey (5-3) facing Chris Archer (3-2) of the Rays. Toronto returns home to start a three-game set with Oakland, with Liam Hendricks (0-0) pitching against Scott Kazmir (5-1) of the Athletics. The Blue Jays called up Hendricks on Thursday from Triple-A Buffalo, where he was 5-0. R.A. Dickey’s start was moved from Friday to Saturday.

NEW YORK (AP) — If Henrik Lundqvist was lucky in Montreal, his good fortune ran out under the bright lights of Broadway. Lundqvist was stellar in claiming the first two wins of the Eastern Conference finals for the Rangers over the Canadiens on the road. But Montreal exacted a bit of revenge in Game 3 at Madison Square Garden. Canadiens defenseman P.K. Subban said Lundqvist was “getting a little bit lucky.” Lundqvist had no problem using some luck to his advantage, but losing a 3-2 heartbreaker in overtime was pretty tough to stomach Thursday night. “It’s tough luck, that’s for sure,” Lundqvist said after Alex Galchenyuk’s goal 1:12 into overtime cut the Canadiens’ series deficit to 2-1. “It’s extremely disappointing to lose this one. “We played really well, but we just have to forget it. Move on, and get ready for the next one.” That will come Sunday in Game 4 at the Garden. The Rangers know they will have to go back to Montreal at least once more, and they surely want to head there with a 3-1 series lead as opposed to a 2-2 tie. “This is a good team. They just beat Boston,” Rangers forward Martin St. Louis said. “We tried to get it done, but we are up 2-1 in the series and we play a home game on Sunday. We still have a great opportunity to do something great.”

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Hiding Out ... Dear Annie: I have worked for a long time at a large manufacturing company. I am a hard worker and believe in teamwork. Over the years, however, the company has let workers get away with everything: personal emails and texting, using their computers to watch TV shows, movies and hockey games, abusing overtime and sick days, taking photos of proprietary equipment, etc. Sometimes, workplace rules are ignored and accidents occur. We are well-paid individuals with great benefits. The head office has put major changes in place to improve profit and productivity. I cannot blame them for trying to fix this aspect of things, but I have lost respect for management because the existing rules and policies are not enforced. I strongly believe we will lose our jobs because the company will fail. I have made suggestions to management and human resources, to no avail. Fellow workers who are long term simply want to see their pensions kick in, and the younger employees just want to see their workday end and get a paycheck. I am hoping someone might see this letter and recognize themselves and do something about this situation. I am open to suggestions. -- Frustrated Employee Dear Frustrated: The problem with being an employee is that you cannot control what management does, nor can you make other employees shape up without the cooperation of the higher-ups. We agree that this is frustrating, but it is also outside your ability to remedy. You have taken what steps you can to effect change, but nothing has happened. If you can accept that these things are not your responsibility, you may be able to ignore them and keep working. Otherwise, it’s time to put an updated resume back into circulation. Dear Annie: On Easter, our 8-year-old daughter accidentally came across her Easter basket and gifts in our home. Her facial expression was filled with questions, and my wife and I decided to tell her the truth: that her parents are the Easter Bunny. She then asked about Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy. I told her yes, we are those, as well. Was I wrong? What is the appropriate age to have this conversation with your child? -- No More Secret Santa Dear Santa: There is no specific time to tell your children these things, but by the age of 8, we suspect your daughter was figuring it out on her own. And most kids don’t appreciate remaining in the dark while their peers are more informed. Telling her the truth probably made her feel more mature and trusted. You could have softened the blow by discussing the idea of Santa, the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny, helping her understand that parents enjoy this type of pretending for their children and that using one’s imagination can be fun and creative. But please put a positive spin on your daughter becoming old enough to know the real story behind the presents. We think she’ll be just fine. Dear Annie: This is in response to the woman whose grandchildren pull out their hair. I’m in my late 50s and started pulling hair from my moustache when I was in my 30s. I also picked my nails and was fatigued and irritable. A couple of years ago, I began taking higher dosages of multi-B vitamin supplements. Within a year, all of these odd habits disappeared. Behavioral changes can happen slowly, and we tend to normalize how we feel day-to-day and are not aware that we may have these nutritional deficiencies. I don’t know whether this will help your readers, but I figured it can’t hurt. They should talk to their health care provider and maybe give it a try for six months. It changed my life. -- CK Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
HINTS FROM HELOISE Camp Time for Kids Dear Readers: Have your kids been asking to go to a SUMMER CAMP? Summer camps can be great experiences for kids. They can try new things, make new friends and create memories to last a lifetime. Here are some things to think about when choosing a camp: First, pick which type of camp you want to send your child to -- a sleep-away camp, day camp, specialty camp, etc. There are many to choose from. Once you have narrowed down your choices, look into whether the camp is licensed or accredited. There are different standards for each. Ask questions! What training does the staff have? Do they go through background checks? How are medications handled? What is the ratio of campers to staff? If it’s a sleep-away camp, are campers left unsupervised? Most important, you have to feel comfortable sending your child there. So ask any questions that concern you, and find the best fit for your family. -- Heloise

DOG EAT DOUG
Brian Anderson
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, May 23, 2014: This year you seem to be in the right place at the right time. You are able to verbalize exactly what is on your mind and have the other person receive the message clearly. You also are capable of communicating in many different styles, when needed. If you are single, romance becomes a distinct possibility after July. You have a newfound charisma that seems to attract others like a bear to honey. If you are attached, the two of you will cruise into one of your special years together. Just let it all flow. ARIES is lucky for you. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH By midday, you’ll perk up and feel as if the world is your oyster. With that drive and determination, you seem to weather any potential storms. Return calls, clear your desk and complete whatever you must to go cruising into the weekend. Tonight: Others like your ideas. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You could be taken aback by a domineering friend. At a certain point, you will need to establish some boundaries. You might feel limited by this situation. Use the afternoon to respond to calls and emails. Know that you are on top of your game. Tonight: A much-needed timeout. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Take care of what is important to you. If you get tangled up in a situation that you cannot get out of, simply adapt your schedule. A meeting could spring up during the day. You will be delighted to meet up with someone you haven’t seen in a while. Tonight: Find your friends. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Use the morning for any talks. You might decide that someone is simply too difficult to speak with. In this case, postpone the talk or let someone else make the call. A boss, parent or older relative might need some of your time in the afternoon. Tonight: A must appearance. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Finally someone will share what is on his or her mind. As a result, you will experience a sense of relief. Mentally, you will feel freed up to take a risk. Make calls and catch up on others’ news. Consider taking a weekend trip in the near future. Tonight: Hang out with your pals. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You might be best off deferring to others for the moment. Though you have a lot of people in your life, one person remains your major concern. Plan a late lunch with him or her, or perhaps get together some time during the weekend. Tonight: Love the one you are with. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Dive into your work, and get as much done as possible. Consider a new offer or a different job in the proper perspective. You might have received a lot of mixed messages as of late, but others have been stressed out as well. Tonight: Go along with someone else’s suggestion. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH The Romeo or Juliet within you emerges, perhaps because it is Friday. At some point during the day, you will need to settle down and get some responsibilities cleared out. Once you are in work mode, you will accomplish a lot. Tonight: Be true to yourself. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You will move past any sluggishness by noon. You have the ability to make a difference with a problem or with difficult interactions. Use your time well this evening. Someone might want to have a long-overdue chat. Tonight: In a flirtatious mood. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Know exactly what you want from a roommate or a domestic matter. You clearly are sure of yourself, and you are unlikely to be responsive to a change in goals. As a result, others will bend to your will. Tonight: Keep your mindset, though your focus might be on something else. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You have a way of turning a difficult situation into a positive interaction. You know what you want, and you will edge someone into seeing your point of view. Return calls and stay

caught up with your emails. Know what you want. Tonight: Reach out to a loved one. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Use the morning to clear up an important matter or some work responsibilities. You might want to be slightly more frivolous and indulgent in the afternoon. Be aware of what you have to offer. A family member or loved one will open up. Tonight: Let off steam.

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.
