104th remembers 13 who gave their lives WESTFIELD – The 104th Fighter Wing held their 28th rededication of its F-100 Memorial yesterday . The F-100 memorial honors the memory of 13 unit members who gave their lives in performance of their duties to the state and country.

Honored guests included Maj. Gen. L. Scott Rice, The Adjutant General, Massachusetts National Guard, and his wife Nancy Rice; Brig. Gen Robert Brooks Jr., Assistant Adjutant General for Air, Massachusetts Air National Guard; Senator Don Humason, 2nd Hampden and Hampshire District; and Representative John Velis, 4th Hampden district.

Family members of fallen airmen included Morris Fontenot, Sr., Mary Jane Fontenot, Kara (Parks) Fontenot, Natalie Fontenot and Nicole Fontenot (on behalf of Lt. Col. Morris Fontenot Jr., Longmeadow, Aug. 27, 2014); John Bannish, Joyce Bannish and Patricia Koon (on behalf of Capt.

Leonard Bannish, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.,

May 30, 1968); and Cathy (Gibe) Langlois, John Langlois and Christie Langlois (on behalf of Capt. Frank Gibe, Westfield, July 28, 1956).

The F-100 monument was originally dedicated on May 17, 1987, by the Chief Master Sergeants Council, and has stood as a constant reminder of the impact of these Guardsmen in the history of the unit. Engraved upon the memorial are the names of unit members who passed away in aviationrelated events: * 1st Lt. Edward W. Meacham, Monomoy Point, Mass., Aug. 17, 1948 * Maj. Robert Anderstrom, Granby, Conn., May 7, 1954 * 1st Lt. Richard Brown, Granville, Mass., Oct. 19, 1954 * Tech. Sgt. Austin A. Cooper, Granville, Mass., Oct. 19, 1954 * Capt. Frank A. Gibe, Westfield, Mass., July 28, 1956 * Maj. Richard W. Mahoney, New Orleans, La., April 22, 1961

* 1st Lt. Joseph F. Crehore, Chalons, France, March 21, 1962 * Capt. Hugh M. Lavalle, Upstate New York, Nov. 16, 1963 * Capt. John H. Paris, Westfield, Mass., July 17, 1964 * Maj.

One mission of the 104th is Aerospace Control Alert (ACA), providing armed fighters ready to scramble in a moment’s notice to protect the Northeast from any airborne threat. The unit is responsible for protecting a quarter of the nation’s population and one third of the Gross Domestic Product.

Fighter Wing to deploy to Germany for week WESTFIELD - The 104th Fighter Wing deployed approximately 50 personnel on Sunday to Ramstein and Spangdahlem Air Bases, Germany, to integrate with active duty forces and participate in Exercise Silver Flag.

The objective of this deployment is to work along side our active duty counterparts, learning from each other, while gaining valuable expeditionary combat and contingency skills in order to support worldwide operations.

“It is difficult to become proficient in our expeditionary skills by training here at home,” said Maj. Matthew Mutti, 104th Force Support Squadron Commander. “With the exercise in Germany, our teams will be able to train in an environment that is similar to what they can anticipate when they deploy.”

104th FW personnel will engage specific training procedures that cannot be duplicated at Barnes.

Exercise Silver Flag is an intensive week-long training program for Airmen from various bases; it combines classroom and practical application exercises to prepare Airmen for all phases of deployment.

Rosenberg calls on DPUC for rate investigation BOSTON – Last week, Massachusetts Senate President Stan Rosenberg (D-Amherst) sent a letter to the Department of Public Utilities (DPU) to open proceedings on whether to require electric suppliers to issue refunds to customers who were charged excessive “rate recalculation” fees after switching their electric company this winter.

In the letter, addressed to DPU Commissioner Angela O’Connor, Rosenberg wrote that “Many ratepayers who switched from basic service to a competitive supplier this past winter were

shocked that their bills were recalculated retroactively, and in many instances for amounts that were hundreds of dollars higher than expected” further explaining that “Ratepayers should not be required to pay for service they did not receive or rates that have been deemed unfair. We shouldn’t stick working families with enormous and unfair bills at a time when most are just starting to break even after years of struggle.”

“The rate recalculations were unfair, and DPU should find a way to ensure those affected by these enormous bills are

refunded accordingly,” said Rosenberg.

The Rate recalculations were originally allowed by DPU due to concerns that competitive suppliers would “game” the system by switching customers on and off default service as wholesale rates varied.

However, following a recent order that the costs to customers outweighed protections for suppliers, DPU reversed the policy without addressing whether suppliers would be required to refund the recalculated rates back to consumers, leaving many on the hook for enormous bills.

By DAN MORIARTY Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Planning Board and City Council will both conduct public hearings this week on a petition to change the zoning of property at the intersection of North and Root roads from its current Commercial A classification to Business A. Ralph, Joseph and Nicholas Cocchi are requesting the zone change to support operation of a farm brewery at that location. The business would not only involve small scale brewery operation, but also retail sales and serving of alcohol on premises.

The Planning Board, which provides a recommendation to the City Council, will conduct its public hearing Tuesday night, while the City Council will have a hearing Thursday night. The brewery operation will also need permits from the state Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission, as well as the city’s License Commission.

The zone change is being made because a farm brewery business does not fit neatly into any of the current zoning classifications.

JAY VINSKEY Principal Planner Jay Vinskey, in a communication to Building Superintendent Jon Flagg, suggested that the property be reclassified as Business A. “Specifically, the subject use is proposed to include retail sales, processing, tasting/service of alcohol, storage and wholesale operation,” Vinskey said in the March 24 letter. “Such use does not fit neatly into any of our use categories or districts. Commercial A only allows the retail component and associated processing.”

Survey: States spent heavily to clear winter snow and ice

By BOB SALSBERG Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Winter’s full fury arrived late in much of the country but once it did it was relentless, quickly exhausting snow removal budgets and pushing the resources of state transportation agencies to their limit as they fought to keep highways safe and passable, according to a first-of-its-kind survey.

The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials said 23 states reported combined spending of more than $1 billion on winter maintenance operations and 8 million work hours plowing or treating state roads from October to March.

The states that responded to Monday’s survey, obtained in advance by The Associated Press, also went through 6 million tons of salt and other huge quantities of brine and liquid deicing chemicals. One state reported using 216,000 gallons of beet juice, which can help salt stick to road surfaces.

“This winter the storms just came one on top of the other and there wasn’t time in between to replenish your salt piles and give your folks some time off,” said Rick Nelson, coordinator of the association’s Snow and Ice Cooperative Program.

A single season snowfall record was broken in Boston, with virtually all the 110 inches coming in a six-week stretch from late January to early March when temperatures rarely rose above freezing.

“In January we were talking about what we were going to do with the surplus snow and ice funds,” recalled Thomas Tinlin, Massachusetts’ highway administrator.

The Department of Transportation wound up spending $154 million on winter maintenance, well above its $107 million annual budget. Additional money was appropriated to assure the state’s private snow plow contractors got paid.

Massachusetts used 600,000 tons of salt and 1.6 million See Snow and Ice, Page 3

Bag carrying $63K in moldy bills found at Pennsylvania state park HOWARD, Pa. (AP) — A plastic bag containing $63,000 in moldy bills has been found at a Pennsylvania state park.

Police say the discovery was made Saturday by a park visitor in Bald Eagle State Park. That’s about 90 miles northwest of the capital, Harrisburg.

Police say paperwork found near the money apparently lists the name of the woman it belongs to and other information police believe will help them identify her.

Authorities say a woman reported the money missing nearly a year ago but lives out of state and didn’t leave any contact information.

They are trying to reach her.

O

n May 4, 1925, an international conference opened in Geneva to forge an agreement against the use of chemical and biological weapons in war; the Geneva Protocol was signed on June 17, 1925 and went into force in 1928.

ON THIS DATE: In 1776, Rhode Island declared its freedom from England, two months before the Declaration of Independence was adopted.

In 1886, at Haymarket Square in Chicago, a labor demonstration for an 8-hour work day turned into a deadly riot when a bomb exploded.

In 1904, the United States took over construction of the Panama Canal from the French.

In 1932, mobster Al Capone, convicted of income-tax evasion, entered the federal penitentiary in Atlanta. (Capone was later transferred to Alcatraz Island.)

In 1942, the Battle of the Coral Sea, the first naval clash fought entirely with carrier aircraft, began in the Pacific during World War II. (The outcome was considered a tactical victory for Imperial Japan, but ultimately a strategic one for the Allies.)

In 1959, the first Grammy Awards ceremony was held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Domenico Modugno won Record of the Year and Song of the Year for “Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu (Volare)”; Henry Mancini won Album of the Year for “The Music from Peter Gunn.”

In 1961, the first group of “Freedom Riders” left Washington D.C. to challenge racial segregation on interstate buses and in bus terminals.

In 1970, Ohio National Guardsmen opened fire during an anti-war protest at Kent State University, killing four students and wounding nine others.

In 1975, comedy performer Moe Howard of “Three Stooges” fame died in Los Angeles at age 77.

In 1980, Marshal Josip Broz Tito, president of Yugoslavia, died three days before his 88th birthday.

In 1994, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and PLO leader Yasser Arafat signed an accord on Palestinian autonomy that granted self-rule in the Gaza Strip and Jericho.

In 2000, the destructive “ILOVEYOU” malware, sent by e-mail, began to infect computer networks and hard drives across the globe. Londoners chose political maverick Ken Livingstone to be their first elected mayor.

TEN YEARS AGO:

A military judge at Fort Hood, Texas, threw out Pfc. Lynndie England’s guilty plea to abusing Iraqi detainees at Abu Ghraib prison, saying he was not convinced the Army reservist knew her actions were wrong at the time. (England was later convicted in a court-martial and sentenced to three years in prison — she served half that term.) A suicide bombing at a police recruitment center in Irbil, Iraq, killed 60 people. Prosecutors rested their case in the molestation trial of Michael Jackson, who ended up being acquitted. Retired Army Col. David Hackworth, 74, a highly decorated Vietnam veteran who spoke out against the war and later became a journalist and advocate for military reform, died in Tijuana, Mexico.

FIVE YEARS AGO:

A Pakistani-born U.S. citizen was charged with terrorism and attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction in

the botched Times Square bombing. (Faisal Shahzad later pleaded guilty to plotting to set off the propane-andgasoline bomb in an SUV and was sentenced to life in prison.)

ONE YEAR AGO:

Eight acrobats were injured, most of them seriously, when a carabiner clip broke during an aerial hair-hanging stunt, sending the women plummeting to the ground during a Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus show in Providence, Rhode Island. Sinn Fein (shin fayn) party leader Gerry Adams was released without charge after five days of police questioning over his alleged involvement in the decades-old IRA killing of a Belfast mother of 10, Jean McConville.

Brewery would allow the Commercial A retail and process uses, plus indoor storage, wholesale and service of alcohol for consumption on-premises,” Vinskey said. “The zoning ordinance further limits the scale of many of these operations to a portion of the floor area or use, so the proposal will need to conform to those restrictions.”

“In any rezoning proposal it is important for the Planning Board and City Council to consider the larger planning

Continued from Page 1 objectives, including the potential impact of any use which would be allowed under the Business A (zoning). This specific area is already commercially zoned, seemingly with the intent of encouraging a small village center,” Vinskey said.

“However, Commercial A has proven fairly restrictive in accommodating a diverse range of businesses,” Vinskey said. “As such, many of the few Commercial A areas in the city remain residential.

The less restrictive Business A district may better foster the original commercial intent for this area.”

If the City Council approves the zone change, the petitioners will still have to seek a special permit from the Planning Board because the property falls within the city’s Water Resource overlay district. The special permit is required to ensure groundwater, which includes the city’s aquifers, protection.

gallons of liquid deicer. Crews removed 17.5 billion cubic feet of snow from state roadways, equivalent to 40 times the volume of dirt excavated during the massive Boston highway project known as the Big Dig, state officials noted.

Pennsylvania, which budgeted $203 million for winter maintenance based on a five-year average of previous expenditures, spent $272 million to keep traffic flowing on the state’s 40,000 miles of roadway, according to Erin Waters-Trasatt, a transportation spokeswoman.

Pennsylvania also was among several states that sent crews and equipment to help out in Massachusetts, she said.

It wasn’t just the typical northern snow belt states that felt winter’s wrath.

“Normally we don’t budget for ice and snow because we don’t get it that often,” said Melinda McGrath, executive director of the Mississippi Department of Transportation. But recent winters have brought several dangerous ice storms to the south, and this year Mississippi spent $3.1 million, used 887 tons of salt and devoted 64,704 work hours to keep state roads safe.

An even larger and longer-term expense, McGrath said, are potholes. It’s a universal headache for motorists and highway officials as freezing and melting cycles cause pavement to expand then crack. Maryland was among several other

states reporting a large increase in potholes this spring.

The actual taxpayer cost of winter road maintenance was much higher than measured by the survey. Not all states responded and the expenses incurred by municipalities for plowing local roads was seen as comparable to state governments.

Unlike the previous winter, AASHTO said there were no serious shortages of salt this year.

When lawmakers and the general public consider transportation funding, winter maintenance needs can often be overlooked said Bud Wright, the group’s executive director.

“When we think about funding transportation we need to consider the total amount needed to keep people and goods moving throughout the entire year,” he said.

States are prohibited from using federal highway funds for snow and ice removal, but some sought federal disaster assistance to offset costs.

President Barack Obama approved disaster declarations for Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut for a January blizzard, making those states eligible for 75 percent reimbursement. But a broader request from Massachusetts to consider all the major storms a cumulative disaster was denied.

N.E. states starting crackdown on speeding WINDSOR, Conn. (AP) — State police across New England are launching the region’s first coordinated crackdown on speeding.

Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy is scheduled to announce the effort Monday with highway safety officials and state police from all six states. A news conference is scheduled at a park and ride lot off Interstate 91 in Windsor, Connecticut.

Officials say the effort is aimed at reducing speedrelated accidents, injuries and deaths. It will begin immediately after the announcement.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety says in 2013, there were 276 car crash deaths in Connecticut, 145 in Maine, 326 in Massachusetts, 135 in New Hampshire, 65 in Rhode Island and 69 in Vermont.

Vermont had the highest car crash death rate at 11 deaths per 100,000 residents, followed by Maine at 10.9 per 100,000.

pulseline@thewestfieldnews.com Even if the public thinks the schools are safe, we can”t be complacent. I think it would be a good idea to have an independent group of volunteers make periodic checks to see the security procedures are being followed. It’s too easy to become lax after long periods with no problems.

I was both amused and angered when I saw the listing in the classified ads in Wednesdays paper about the city taking land from citizens for non-payment of 2012 property tax. The city has too be joking that they plan to take property from residents who owe anywhere from $.84 to $ 47.88 and there are a couple of residents who owe only a few hundred dollars..

THIS IS INSANE! What about the lady working in the Assessor’s Office who stole over $100,000 plus? Did you take HER property?

Extreme secrecy eroding support for Obama’s trade pact

Liberals, conservatives unite vs. NSA spying

Classified briefings and bill-readings in basement rooms are making members queasy

By LAUREN FRENCH and KATE TUMMARELLO Politico.com In an ornate room on the first floor of the Capitol, some of the most liberal members of Congress met for lunch on Thursday with nearly a dozen stalwart conservatives who’ve repeatedly taken on their own leadership for being too soft.

The agenda consisted of a single topic, perhaps the only one that would bring together such ideologically divergent politicians in Washington at this moment: their shared disdain for the Patriot Act. With key provisions of the controversial post-9/11 law set to expire at the end of the month, including authority for the National Security Agency’s bulk collection of Americans’ phone records, critics in both parties are preparing to strike.

Among those on hand for the meeting were Democratic Rep. Mark Pocan, a card-carrying ACLU member from the liberal mecca of Madison, Wisconsin, and GOP Rep. Thomas Massie, a tea party adherent from Kentucky.

“The collection of data is still way too wide and can still be too easily abused,” Pocan said of the NSA program exposed by Edward Snowden two years ago.

Along with Pocan and Massie, the Thursday gathering drew Reps. Justin Amash (R-Mich.), Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) and Jared Polis (D-Colo.). The lawmakers, many of them privacy zealots with libertarian leanings, discussed the USA Freedom Act, bipartisan legislation that would rein in the bulk collection of telephone records and reauthorize expiring anti-terror surveillance provisions in the Patriot Act. Several lawmakers at the meeting argued that the compromise measure — which passed the House Judiciary Committee on a 25-2 vote last week and has the support of House GOP leaders — doesn’t go far enough.

“There are a lot of improvements that we would like to see jointly, from both the Democratic and Republican side,” Pocan said.

There’s no set plan yet on how to proceed. Lawmakers haven’t decided whether they want to introduce new legislation or rally behind amendments to the Judiciary-approved bill. But both sides want stronger reforms, which is why Amash came up with the idea to invite the trio of Democrats to the Liberty Caucus meeting.

“We are definitely making it a bipartisan effort because we believe there are people on both sides of the aisle who are interested in protecting the rights of Americans,” Amash said.

The USA Freedom Act is expected to come to the House floor for a vote this month. The bill would narrow the government’s collection of phone records only to individuals suspected of being a terrorist or connected to terror cells, while extending much of the existing surveillance authority.

Telecommunications providers would still amass the telephone data, but the NSA could access certain records only after securing an order from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.

The civil liberties-minded members want several changes.

Pocan said lawmakers are concerned that privacy language in the current legislation is tailored to fit current technologies — potentially putting data at risk of bulk collection if new technologies emerge. Pocan and Massie back a long-shot effort to repeal the Patriot Act entirely, while other lawmakers at the meeting have proposed cutting funding for the so-called backdoor searches by the NSA that don’t require warrants.

Other lawmakers who attended the meeting have proposed aggressive reforms to other surveillance authorities, including ones that allow for warrantless online surveillance of U.S. citizens. Members of the group have also called for an end to government-required “backdoors” in companies’ hardware and software products to give intelligence agencies easy access to data.

Across the Capitol, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is eschewing reform. He offered a bill last week to extend the Patriot Act provisions for 5½ years without major changes, allowing the NSA to continue its bulk collection program, which he and supporters like Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) say is a vital tool to combat terrorists.

Amash and other civil libertarians in the House have been battling for years against NSA spying. The House passed a watered-down version of the USA Freedom Act in 2014, but reform proponents, including Amash and Lofgren, rejected the

By EDWARD-ISAAC DOVERE Politico.com If you want to hear the details of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal the Obama administration is hoping to pass, you’ve got to be a member of Congress, and you’ve got to go to classified briefings and leave your staff and cellphone at the door.

If you’re a member who wants to read the text, you’ve got to go to a room in the basement of the Capitol Visitor Center and be handed it one section at a time, watched over as you read, and forced to hand over any notes you make before leaving.

And no matter what, you can’t discuss the details of what you’ve read.

“It’s like being in kindergarten,” said Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), who’s become the leader of the opposition to President Barack Obama’s trade agenda. “You give back the toys at the end.”

For those out to sink Obama’s free trade push, highlighting the lack of public information is becoming central to their opposition strategy: The White House isn’t even telling Congress what it’s asking for, they say, or what it’s already promised foreign governments.

The White House has been coordinating an administration-wide lobbying effort that’s included phone calls and briefings from Secretary of State John Kerry, Labor Secretary Tom Perez, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker and others. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz has been working members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro has been talking to members of his home state Texas delegation.

Officials from the White House and the United States trade representative’s office say they’ve gone farther than ever before to provide Congress the information it needs and that the transparency complaints are just the latest excuse for people who were never going to vote for a new trade deal anyway.

“We’ve worked closely with congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle to balance unprecedented access to classified documents with the appropriate level of discretion that’s needed to ensure Americans get the best deal possible in an ongoing, high-stakes international negotiation,” said USTR spokesman Matt McAlvanah.

Obama’s seeking a renewal of fast-track authority, which would empower him to negotiate trade deals that then go to Congress for up-or-down votes but not amendments. He says he needs that authority to complete the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a 12-country free trade agreement that he calls essential to stopping China from setting trade, labor and environmental standards in the Asia-Pacific region.

Administration aides say they can’t make the details public because the negotiations are still going on with multiple countries at once; if for example, Vietnam knew what the American bottom line was with Japan, that might drive them to change their own terms.

Trade might not seem like a national security issue, they say, but it is (and foreign governments regularly try to hack their way in to American trade deliberations).

Moreover, many of the leaders of the opposition, administration aides argue, are people who aren’t used to dealing with classified information and don’t realize how standard this secrecy is. And by the way, they note, neither congressional conference committees nor labor contract talks allow even this level of access to negotiations while in process.

But those arguments aren’t making much headway among trade skeptics, who feel they are being treated with disrespect and condescension. And they increasingly are pinning the blame directly on United States Trade Representative Mike Froman, who’s been headlining the classified briefings, in addition to smaller meetings with members.

“The access to information is totally at the whim of Ambassador Froman,” said Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas), who’s a hard no on fast track but says he’d like to see other ways of promoting international trade. “He likes to make available information that he thinks helps his case, and if it conflicts, then he doesn’t make the information available,” Doggett said.

Doggett, like other critics, pointed out that the cover sheets of the trade documents in that basement room are marked only “confidential document” and note they’re able to be transmitted over unsecured email and fax — but for some reason are still restricted to members of Congress.

“My chief of staff who has a top secret security clearance can learn more about ISIS or Yemen than about this trade agreement,” See Trade Pact, Page 5

With key parts of the Patriot Act set to expire, polarized lawmakers find common cause

measure as too weak.

The latest version of the legislation is a collaboration between the House Judiciary Committee, which wants to restrict the latitude given to the government in the Patriot Act, and the House Intelligence Committee, which is wary of weakening the nation’s ability to collect data on potential terrorist plots.

The GOP leadership team, led by Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, has signed off on the reworked USA Freedom Act and is highly unlikely to give in to further changes. The bill is expected to easily pass the House.

The Obama administration backs ending the bulk collection program and has applauded the USA Freedom Act. That could set the stage for a clash between House GOP leaders and President Barack Obama on one side, and McConnell and other Republican senators on the other, with the bipartisan group of civil libertarians prodding for more reforms.

“The clean renewal [of the Patriot Act] that has been put forward by Sen. McConnell does not include those reforms” that the president supports, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said last week. “And the president was quite definitive about the need to make those kinds of reforms a top priority.”

Democrats and libertarian-minded Republicans want changes that go beyond what’s currently on the table, but it’s unclear whether they have the numbers. Massie and Amash are key players in a growing conservative bloc of the Republican caucus that in the past has forced Boehner and Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) to alter legislation that didn’t pass conservative muster.

“People are going to have to make a decision if there are enough real reforms in there to make it worth reauthorizing the Patriot Act,” Massie said. “I don’t think the reforms are significant enough.”

“The onus is really on [Republican and Democratic leaders] to have something in place if this is going to run out and they need to reauthorize something,” the Republican added. “We’re trying to figure out how to get a better, stronger [bill] that protects privacy rights.”

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) has so far dismissed the idea of taking up the USA Freedom Act and has said he is looking at alternatives that balance the need for strong national security programs with the calls for civil liberties protections. The Senate is more likely to take up a bill introduced by McConnell and Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) that would reauthorize the expiring provisions of the Patriot Act without changes to appease privacy proponents.

That legislation would grant the government authority to monitor potential terrorists — even if they are not directly connected to terrorist cells — and give the government’s spies the ability to use roving wiretaps on suspects if they are mobile.

The surveillance issue has kindled friendships among lawmakers who rarely see eye-to-eye. Pocan and Massie got to know one another when they had neighboring offices during their first terms in the House. They discovered an intersecting interest in privacy law.

“You’re seeing some of the same bedfellows here that you will on trade,” Pocan said, referring to bipartisan opposition to pending trade legislation. “I think it’s very healthy for us to work together.”

Doggett said.

“He’s incredibly condescending. It’s like, ‘You’d be all for this if only you hadn’t gotten an F in economics,’” said Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.), who said he’s opposed to what he’s seen because it lacks labor standards and measures to address currency manipulation.

“We know when we’re being suckered,” said Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), who said he believes that the USTR quotes percentages instead of absolute values on trade statistics that give an overly positive impression. “It’s not only condescending, it’s misleading.”

Asked about those criticisms, Froman responded by praising his adversaries.

“I have great respect for the critics, many of whom have shown great leadership on progressive causes, and I look forward to a continued dialogue with members of Congress based on facts and substance,” Froman told Politico.

Rep. Ron Kind (D-Wis.), who supports giving Obama fast-track authority, says the division among Democrats is between members who are looking for a reason to say no and those that are actually trying to work on the deal.

“They’ve been very engaging with Congress and to members who want to be in the room and engaging them on the text … so we can ask questions but, more importantly, so we can provide input,” Kind said.

As for Froman, Kind said, “he’s very cordial, he’s very respectful and listening to other people’s opinion. … I don’t get a sense of condescension and arrogance.”

Kind says he expects several more Democrats to announce their support for the president’s efforts in the coming days, some of them because of what they’ve heard from Froman.

Doggett insisted that the outreach is costing the White House support.

“The more people hear Ambassador Froman but feel they get less than candid and accurate answers, I think it loses votes for them,” Doggett said.

Administration officials point to other members who’ve publicly praised Froman for his responsiveness and his accessibility. Those include House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who at a late April news conference called Froman a “remarkable, remarkable trade rep” who’s “just fabulous, and he’s been just boundless in his willingness to spend time with members to go through this.”

Pelosi herself remains undecided on the trade pact, though she says she’s trying to find a path to yes. She’s telling members what she’s told them from the start: They’re going to be able to influence the deal only if they actually engage with Froman and the White House.

In February, it was Pelosi who urged the administration to begin the briefings, warning that Democratic support was nowhere near what the White House would need for fast-track to pass the House.

Obama has started to get more personally engaged trying to shore up support for the deal. The president hosted a White House meeting Thursday with members of the New Democrat Coalition, who are generally inclined to support him on trade but still pressed him to make more information available.

“He emphasized that under the trade promotion bills, this is going to be the most transparent bill ever,” said Kind, who attended.

Two days earlier, speaking at the news conference he held in the Rose Garden with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Obama dismissed “this whole notion that it’s all secret.”

“They’re going to have 60 days before I even sign it to look at the text, and then a number of months after that before they have to take a final vote,” Obama said forcefully.

“He’s indignant when we say it’s secret,” said Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.). “Maybe there’s some definition of secrecy he knows that I don’t know.”

Reporters Wanted The Westfield News Group is looking for either entry level or moderately experienced staff and/or freelance reporters who want to make a difference in local communities.

Bomber’s relatives to testify in marathon trial

By DENISE LAVOIE AP Legal Affairs Writer BOSTON (AP) — Russian relatives of Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev are expected to testify at his trial as his lawyers continue to make their case to spare his life.

Five family members are expected to take the witness stand Monday in federal court.

Prosecutors urged Judge George O’Toole Jr. last week to press Tsarnaev’s lawyers to make sure his relatives testify soon because 16 FBI agents have been assigned to guard and protect them while they are in the United States. The family members arrived in Boston on April 23.

“It’s an enormous expense and distraction for the agency, and that’s just part of the expense that the government has endured,” Assistant U.S. Attorney William Weinreb said during a sidebar discussion in court with Tsarnaev’s law-

DZHOKHAR TSARNAEV yers and the judge, according to a transcript that was made public.

Three people were killed and more than 260 were injured when two pressure-cooker bombs exploded near the marathon finish line April 15, 2013.

Tsarnaev was convicted last month of 30 federal charges in the bombings, including 17 that carry the possibility of the death penalty. Now 21, he moved to the U.S. with his family in 2002.

His Russian relatives were expected to testify Thursday, but the trial was suspended that day because a juror became ill.

Neither prosecutors nor Tsarnaev’s lawyers would reveal the identities of the relatives.

Prosecutors say Tsarnaev was an equal partner in the bombings with his radicalized older brother, Tamerlan, and have urged the jury to sentence him to death.

Tsarnaev’s lawyers say Tamerlan was the mastermind of the attack and lured his brother into his plan.

3 western Mass. teens Driver killed when OK after fiery crash car runs off road LUDLOW, Mass. (AP) — Three western Massachusetts teens escaped serious injuries when their car hit a utility pole and caught fire Friday night.

Police say the 17-year-old boy driving was speeding and driving on the wrong side of the road when he rolled the car and crashed at about 10:30 p.m. in Ludlow.

Police Sgt. Daniel Valadas said two 16-year-old boys also were in the car. He said the driver is facing misdemeanor charges for speeding and driving with minors, since he’s not old enough to carry underage passengers.

The teens had managed to get out of the burning Nissan Altima by the time police arrived.

They were taken to Baystate Medical Center with non-lifethreatening injuries.

Landmark western Mass. quirky gift shop sold NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (AP) — The new owners of a beloved Northampton gift shop say they plan to maintain the store’s quirky character.

Faces was purchased on Sunday by Chris Andrew Inc., a business group that owns several retail stores in western Massachusetts.

The new owners say they plan to keep Faces “as is” because it’s “an amazing store and such an important part of Northampton.”

Loyal customers had been worried and the future of the store had been up in the air since former owner Peter Vogel announced he was selling in January, citing the pressures and costs of running an independent store.

Vogel’s father, Steve, co-founded Faces of Earth in Amherst in 1971. The Northampton location opened in 1986.

Realtors say both local and national buyers expressed interest in the business.

in Westhampton WESTHAMPTON, Mass. (AP) — Authorities say a driver has been killed after apparently losing control on a curve on state Route 66 in Westhampton.

The Northwestern district attorney’s office says the crash happened early Sunday less than a mile west of Outlook farm.

The car went off the south side of the highway, crashed through some trees and came to rest about 75 feet from the road.

The driver’s identity has not been confirmed. No one else was in the car.

Cable TV pioneer's new company turns air moisture into water ATTLEBORO, Mass. (AP) — A New England cable TV pioneer is in the beginning stages of a new venture aimed at transforming moisture in the atmosphere into drinkable water.

The Sun Chronicle reports (http://bit.ly/1GKqN5v ) Water Generating Systems CEO Peter Ottmar recently completed a $21 million fundraising round and plans to open an Attleboro marketing office for the research and development company.

The company is developing machines that extract moisture from the air to create drinkable water. It expects to release its first commercial units later this year.

Ottmar says the company uses a cooled coil to condense the moisture, much like a dehumidifier. The system can be powered by electric or solar energy without producing waste.

Ottmar's Inland Cable was one of the first to offer cable TV service in Massachusetts in the 1980s.

With two outs, Jimmy Cloutier lined to left scoring Brewster. Later in the inning Anthony Schabowski scampered home on a passed ball to tie the game at 4-4. Six innings wasn’t enough and it would take extra innings to decide the outcome.

With one out in the 8th, Will Brewster drove in two runs with a double to give Kiwanis the lead 6-4. Hastie Fence battled back in the bottom of the 8th. With two outs and the tying run on second, a small ground ball got through the infield. But a fleet footed Riley Sullivan backed up the play, picked up the ball in short right field and threw a strike to the plate where Jared Noel applied the tag and secured the win for Kiwanis. JT Oleksak went 1 for 3 with a double, and Riley Sullivan went 1 for 3. Tyler Cousineau pitched 4 2/3 innings striking out 9. Joey Calderella pitched three scoreless innings getting out of tough jams to help Kiwanis go to 3-0 on the year.

Commercial Distributing 15, Advance Manufacturing 0 Advance Manufacturing ran into a very strong hitting Commercial team on Saturday morning at Paper Mill Field. Commercial banged out 15 hits and received strong pitching from three different hurlers. Owen Jurczyk made his Majors debut on the hill for Advance.

Jurczyk struck out five batters during 2 2/3 innings of very solid work. Jaden Gonzalez (1 K) followed Jurczyk on the mound and pitched one inning before turning the ball over to Luke Bonini.

With the win, they moved to an impressive 4-0 record.

Slovak 9, Kiwanis 3 Kiwanis took its unbeaten record to Paper Mill field in an early morning game against Slovak. Slovak jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead after the first inning and never looked back.

Chris Gage was dominated on the hill for Slovak going five full innings and striking out 8. Brennan Jarvis had a big triple for Slovak but his glove was even more impressive, making play after play at shortstop. For Kiwanis, Anthony Schabowski was 2 for 2 with 2 runs scored. JT Oleksak was 1 for 2 with a triple and Joey Calderella went 1 for 2. Riley Sullivan pitched well for Kiwanis striking out 5 in two innings.

Police 12, Hastie Fence 4 American Majors Police jumped out to an early lead with ten runs in the first three innings. A two-run single by Trent Adam, an RBI single by Ty Leonard, and an RBI groundout by Colin Reed in the first inning started the day strong. An RBI double by Sean Rosselli, an RBI single by Jacob Wagner, and a groundout by Joey Delgado during the second inning supplied the early offense for American Majors Police.

Delgado recorded the win for the Police allowing only four runs over 4 2/3 innings.

Delgado struck out eight of the 22 batters faced, followed by a strong relief from Kareem Zaghoul delivering Ks to four of the six batters to finish the game. Dacota Durkee and Kareem Zaghoul made contact at bat in the early in the game, resulting in two more runs.

Police showed their defensive strength through the field work of Nick Montanaro, Joey Delgado and Kareem Zaghoul.

Advance Manufacturing 10, Camfour 8 (8 Innings) Advance Manufacturing outlasted Camfour in a very exciting extra innings game played at Paper Mill Field. Advance came out of the gates strong scoring 6 runs in the top of the 2nd inning. Jackson Lambert (3-4, 3 runs scored) and Luke Bonini (2-4, run scored) got things going with back-to-back singles. Jaden Gonzalez (2-4, 1 run, 3 RBI) then plated Lambert with an RBI single up the middle and Bonini scored on a bases-loaded single by Wyatt Baker. Ethan Porter (2-5, 3 RBI) and Aidan Krol (2-4, 2 RBI) also drove in runs during the 6-run uprising. After Camfour fought back to tie the game at 7-7 in the bottom of the 6th inning, the Manufacturers scored to take an 8-7 lead in the top of the 7th when Lambert came home on a double by Gonzalez. Camfour scored a single run in the bottom of the 7th to tie the game once again at 8-8 but the Boys in Blue put the game away with two runs of their own in the top of the 8th on a bases-loaded single by Porter to drive in Sean O’Keefe and Niko Bacopolous (2-4) with the winning runs. Porter (8 k’s) got the start on the mound for Advance and was brilliant over 4 2/3 innings of work while Krol (3 1/3 IP, 4 K’s) came on in relief to earn the

The evening belonged to Jake LaBombard.

Jake took the mound and finished his second complete game of the season with a 3 hit, 9 strikeout performance. This was not the big story of the night however. Leading off the game for his team, Jake took a 2-0 pitch to straight away center for his first career homerun! He also added single in the fifth and scored two runs.

Air Compressor held a 2-1 advantage through three innings. However, Commercial would come back scoring 2 in the 4th and 3 in the 5th inning. They were helped by the bats of David Tirrell (single, RBI, run), Colby Nadeau (single, RBI, run), Aidan King (single, RBI), and Chris Wilda (single, run).

The charge was led by Nick Lenfest (4 for 4, 4 singles, 3 runs scored), Alex Guzman (2 for 4, single, double), and Colby LaPoint (4 for 4, 3 singles, double, 4 runs scored).

Game Date: April 26, 2015 Specialty Bolt & Screw 5, Tucker’s Restaurant 2 Specialty Bolt & Screw (SBS) faced off against tough competitor Tucker’s Restaurant, handing them their first defeat of the season.

Despite an excellent pitching performance, including nine strikeouts by Niemiec, four strikeouts by Ted Dunn and one strikeout by Brendon Morse, Tucker’s Restaurant was unable to make an offensive comeback.

SBS’s Connor Queenin came out strong on the mound, pitching two scoreless innings.

INSTRUCTIONAL LEAGUE Game Date: April 18, 2015 Westfield Bank 9, Lawry Freight 3 Lawry Freight enthusiastically took the field on beautiful opening day for Westfield Little League Baseball against Westfield Bank. It was a day of many firsts for these young players learning America’s pastime.

Hyper • Local

When it comes to 21st century multimedia platforms, “hyper local” is a term you hear a lot.

It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newspapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore.

But, day in and day out, The Westfield News provides consistant coverage of the stories you need to know about, that are important to your city, town, neighborhood and home.

Annie’s Mailbox

By KATHY MITCHELL and MARCY SUGAR

Artist’s Wife

Dear Annie: My husband graduated from a very prestigious art college. Early in his career, he gave away some paintings to close friends and family members.

Recently, he did a beautiful portrait for a family member who insisted on paying my husband. He happily agreed and quoted them a reasonable price. They told my husband they would get a check to him soon.

It’s been more than six months, and they haven’t paid a penny.

It burns us up to see this piece of art displayed in their home.

We know it was probably a mistake to give away his early paintings, but he is trying to rectify this.

My husband doesn’t know how to confront this family member without causing a rift. Help. -- Artist’s Wife Dear Wife: If your husband plans to earn a living with his art, he needs to stop allowing others to take advantage of him. He should send this family member a “bill,” saying he hopes they like the painting, that he has enjoyed seeing it in their home, and that he is looking forward to receiving the check for his first paid commission. He should remind them of the amount they agreed to, and ask whether they’d like to pay it by check, cash or an online transfer. And in the future, he should not turn over a piece of artwork until he has received payment in full. Otherwise, he will be giving very nice gifts.

Dear Annie: This is in reference to “A Concerned Daughter and Mom-to-Be,” whose mother is bipolar and is incapable of keeping herself or her house clean. “Concerned” says the kitchen and bathroom are moldy biohazards. She doesn’t want her baby to spend time there.

Please tell her that mold can cause or exacerbate serious health issues, both physical and mental. The daughter mentioned the mother has a “sour smell” about her. This indicates a possible yeast overgrowth in her body.

The daughter is absolutely right to keep her baby away from this environment. The mother also needs to be removed from her moldy surroundings. It’s certainly not going to get better on its own. Please tell the daughter. -- John Dear John: Thank you. Mold can cause a great many problems, most commonly allergies, as well as sinus and respiratory problems. Some exposure can cause infections or toxic reactions. And toxic molds, left untreated, can cause fatigue, headaches, immunodeficiencies and other more serious health issues.

It is important to keep your homes moisture-free. If you notice mold growing, clean it immediately or have it done professionally. The Environmental Protection Agency has information on mold at epa.gov/mold/moldguide.html.

Dear Annie: Here’s more on phone scammers: Beware of those claiming to be from “Windows” or something similar.

Windows is a product, not a company. The scammers will get control of your hard drive and install a virus. Then they will con you into giving them a credit card number to install an antivirus. Your computer will be wrecked.

The bottom line is: Don’t ever give access to your computer or credit card numbers over the phone unless you initiated the call. -- John

HINTS FROM HELOISE AUTOMATIC IRRITATION Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, about irons: “You wrote about the problem of irons not getting hot enough to iron clothes well.

I agree, but the frustrating feature is the auto shut-off! When sewing, by the time I go to press a seam, the iron has shut off, and I have to wait for it to heat up again.

There should be a way to override this feature for people who sew!” -- Lillie in Chandler, Texas Lillie, it can be a hassle, especially when working on a project that requires using the iron a lot. I’m with you on this! When I’m on a sewing spree, to have to keep turning on the iron for just a quick press of a seam gets to be very, very annoying.

The good news is, there are irons available that do NOT have an automatic shut-off.

Call a fabric store or get on the Internet, and the “iron” of your dreams is waiting for you! Keep on sewing! -- Heloise HARDWOOD HELP Dear Heloise: I heard we can use vinegar and water to clean wood and engineered hardwood floors. But I have no idea what the recipe is for this type of cleaner. Can you please help? -- Pam E., via email Pam, that’s what I’m here for. The answer is both yes and no.

Some wood that you may slightly “damp” mop will do just fine with a little vinegar (half a cup or so to a mop bucket) added to water.

Many “engineered hardwood floors” are, in fact, well, not like real wood. The hint to keep in mind is to “clean” the flooring more often and prevent a big buildup of dust and dirt. Overwetting, or letting a solution sit on the flooring, is where the problem arises. As much as I love vinegar, I’m not sure it adds much to the cleaning process. A cup of 5 percent vinegar in a gallon of water is a darn weak strength.

Yes, I know, I’ve heard from “experts”: “Oh, but Heloise, it’s acid!” The idea that this negligible amount of “acid” vinegar solution would “eat away” the finish is a weak argument, in my mind.

Do a Heloise test and damp-mop half of the floor with just water, half with the vinegar-and-water solution. Result? You tell me! --

DOG EAT DOUG

Brian Anderson

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, May 4, 2015: This year you have unusually high energy, which could backfire at any moment. If you don’t get what you want out of a situation, you might explode in anger. Dealing with opposition often becomes very difficult. Learn to listen and weigh different opinions. You seem to make excellent choices involving your home and real estate. If you are single, your tumultuous nature could push away someone who normally would be an excellent choice for you.

You will tend to attract opposites this year. If you are attached, your significant other might be taken aback by your irritability. Try to tame this proclivity.

SCORPIO is as stubborn as you are.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Your creativity outwits any hassle presented at the moment. You will assume the lead and remain positive, no matter what comes up. You have a vision or an ideal that you are following, which is likely to reveal its strength.

Tonight: Evaluate new information.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You might be taking others’ comments personally, but know that their words are not directed at you. Try not to take others on or be provocative, if possible. Identify with people by listening to where they are coming from.

Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You might be sitting on a difficult situation only to see yet another problem arise from out of nowhere. You can hold in your frustration for only so long. Your creativity and ability to see past the immediate situation will come forth if you just relax. Tonight: Get some exercise.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Tap into your creativity when deciding how to approach an emotional situation. As you toy with different ideas, you’ll see multiple possibilities. You seem to have more choices than you ever thought possible. Tonight: Let your imagination make the call.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Getting back to basics will become more and more important when trying to find a solution. You also can try exploring new options. A boss could be challenging. Unexpected insight and developments will help point to an unforeseen path. Tonight: At home.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You could be tired of a negative pattern and will be ready to try a new approach. You might experience some reluctance, but ultimately you have nothing to lose. You are coming from a strong foundation. Tonight: Share your thoughts with a good friend.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might want to enter a new phase and move toward a more positive change. A partner could have a very strong opinion, and likely will want to convince you that he or she is right. Zero in on what is best for you.

Tonight: A conversation with a challenging friend.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH You’ll be on top of a problem and will be willing to follow through on certain priorities. You might be changing your opinions as a result of having more discussions. Take a bow when someone gives you praise for your flexibility and insightfulness. Tonight: In control.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Your instincts don’t always guide you through problems, but you would be well advised to follow them now. A mental alarm could be more important than you realize. Assess what is happening with someone at a distance. Tonight: Some extra time for thought.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You easily could make a choice that seems right at first, but then question it later. Slow down some but also follow your feelings. A loved one seems determined to have your attention. Observe what is going on with this person. Tonight: Where it is happening.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Tension continues to build.

How you see a situation could change radically if you would just relax.

However, you might be so determined to have a matter play out the way you want it to that you lose sight of the big picture. Tonight: Slow down.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You could notice a certain

amount of division over recent ideas. You might be taken aback by what is happening around you. Kick impulsiveness to the wayside. Take your time when dealing with a personal matter involving your finances. Tonight: Unwind to a good movie.

Godette Wins NE DIII Javelin Westfield State’s Travon Godette won the javelin as the Westfield State men placed 6th at the New England Division III championships hosted by M.I.T in Cambridge, Mass.

The Westfield State women placed 13th overall. Details to follow.

Sun sets on stellar lacrosse season Owls fall to Bridgewater in Title Game, 13-12 in OT WESTFIELD – Westfield State’s stellar women’s lacrosse season came to a heartbreaking end on Saturday, as the Owls fell to Bridgewater State in the MASCAC Tournament Championship game by a 13-12 score in overtime.

Westfield’s season comes to an end with a 13-5 overall record, and the Owls had their school record 13-game winning streak snapped. The Owls 13 wins this season are a school record.

Bridgewater State University’s Melissa Renaud (Framingham/Framingham, Mass.) scored to force the overtime period, then netted the game-winning goal in overtime.

Bridgewater controlled possession early in the game, winning the first four center draws and scoring four goals in the first 4:20 of the game to force a Westfield time out.

After the time out, Bridgewater got back-toback-goals from Renaud to push the lead to 6-0 just 7:35 into the game.

Top-seed Westfield finally got on the board with 21:13 remaining in the first half on a free position shot by freshman Brooke Williams (Minnechaug/Wilbraham, Mass.), but after a goal by the Owls’ Blair Smith (Milford/ Milford, Mass.) the Bears then went on a 3-0 run, with

all the goald coming from Tournament MVP Lauren Geary (Hull/Hull, Mass.) to take a 9-7 lead.

Westfield proved resilient, however, tallying the next four goals, including one from Williams with 1:03 left in the first half to keep the game within reach, and Bridgewater got a goal from Brooke Buckner with just 10 seconds left in the half for the 10-6 halftime margin.

After the Bears netted the first goal of the second half, Westfield went on a 6-0 scoring run, tying the game at 11-11 on Smith’s goal off of a feed from Williams, and then Smith gave Westfield a 12-11 lead when Stephanie Lenhardt (Duxbury/Duxbury, Mass.) fed a cutting Smith on a pass from behind the cage with 5:13 to play.

Bridgewater answered less than a minute later, with Renauld scoring off a feed from Marissa Yowell (Ashland/Ashland, Mass.).

Westfield had a couple of opportunities at the end of regulation, but were unable to score on two shots from nearly point-blank range after a free position was awarded, with Bears goalkeeper Allie Forman (Marblehead/ Marblehead, Mass.) stymieing both shots to force the extra frame.

Bridgewater got what proved to be the game winner when Riley Cachelin ( We s t w o o d / We s t w o o d , Mass.) fed Renauld with a pass from the top, and Renauld spun away from a

defender and found the back of the net with 4:04 left in the overtime.

Westfield got four goals from Smith, and three from Samantha Lungarini (Agawam/ Agawam, Mass.). Smith added a pair of goals and three assists.

Junior goalkeeper Mimi Khampaeng (Minnechaug/ Wilbraham, Mass.) stopped 10 shots.

Forman made nine saves for Bridgewater. Renauld led the bears with five goals and an assist, and Geary had four goals and an assist. Possession was a big factor early in the Bears fast start, and again in the overtime, with Geary helping the Bears with 18 of 29 draws in the contest. Shots were evenly matched with 31 for Bridgewater and 29 for the Owls.

Bridgewater is 12-8 on the season and avenged a mid-season loss to the Owls.

With the win, the Bears earn the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
