Transportation bill approved By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer BOSTON – Construction projects could soon begin around the state now that the Senate and House have agreed to a final transportation bond bill authorizing $12.7 billion in capital spending over the next five years for improvements to the Commonwealth’s transportation system. The measure also authorizes $300 million for local road improvement, $100 million more than had previously been put aside by Gov. Deval Patrick’s administration under the state’s Chapter 90 municipal road program. Cities and town officials were hoping to receive funds in time for the spring and summer construction season. Approval came following an agreement reached by legislative negotiators on a $13 billion bond bill. Locally, Sen. Don Humason (R-2nd Hampden & Hampshire) and Representative Nicholas Boldyga (R-Southwick) announceed they were able to secure funding in the Transportation Bond Bill for several key infrastructure projects important to Agawam, which would mean a better commute for those traveling to and from Westfield and Southwick. The first project is the repair and improvement of North Westfield Street from the Westfield town line to Southwick Street in the Town of Agawam in the amount of $500,000. The second project included in the bill will allow the Massachusetts Department of Transportation to purchase the parcel of land for the proposed phase II of the state highway Route 57 project the Town of Agawam. “The improvements to Route 187 are much needed after this past winter. The section of North Westfield Street is in a state of disrepair and this bond money is greatly needed,” said Humason. “The inclusion of the Route 57 project in the bond bill is a positive sign for the future of the project that the Patrick administration had recently signaled they were going to give up on.” Boldyga touted the merits of the projects and teamwork that brought them to fruitiion. “Senator Humason and I have a great working relationship and have teamed up to support Agawam and Southwick. I’m pleased we were able to secure amendments to the Transportation Bond Bill that will benefit North Westfield Street and Route 57,” he said. “This additional local aid will improve our roads and help keep our property taxes down.” State Rep. John Velis (D-Westfield) said although there is no money earmarked specifically for Westfield, projects in Agawam and Southampton would improve roads leading into the city. “I will be steadfast in ensuring some of those funds come to western Mass., specifically roads leading to Westfield,” He said. Velis plans to make western Massachusetts’ presence known in Boston when decisions about funding projects are being made. “I will be making sure our voice is heard,” he said. Westfield City Council members voted recently to support a resolution seeking restoration of state aid to the city, placing a greater burden on property owners to operate the city and maintain its infrastructure. At-large Council Dan Allie made the motion to send a resolution approved by the entire council to House Speaker Robert DeLeo (D-Winthrop) seeking legislative support to restore lottery revenue to its intended purpose and to restore Chapter 90 funding to repair and repave city roads. “I support the transportation bond bill,” said Allie. “It sends a message to the governor that we want $300 million, not $200 million.” State Sen. Ben Downing (D-Pittsfield) was also able to secure $6.5 million in the bill for the reconstruction of East River Road in Chester.

Patrick signs transportation funding bill BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick has signed a $12.8 billion transportation bond bill that could help trigger construction on several high-profile transportation projects. The bill lets the state borrow money for a range of ideas, many of which have been on the drawing board for years, including a $2.3 billion expansion of commuter rail service to the South Coast. The bill also authorizes $325 million for improvements to Boston’s South Station, and calls for the rail hub to be renamed The Governor Michael S. Dukakis Transportation Center in honor of the former governor.

Businesses seek council permits By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The City Council conducted two separate public hearings Thursday night on permit applications submitted by two Northside businesses. Westfield Electroplating submitted an application for council approval of the installation of a 10,400-gallon underground fuel storage tank next to its loading dock. The company was represented by Jason Perry of Tighe & Bond, who said that the application, which included the existing storage of a number of chemicals and compounds, used in the electroplating process, is misleading. “The license application has to list all of the chemicals currently stored there,” Perry said. “What is new is the underground storage tank for # 2 fuel oil. They are removing an existing 10,000-gallon tank and installing this new tank in a different location (next to the recently constructed additions to the building).” Perry said the tank is in compliance with all state requirements for monitoring and alarm systems, in response to a question by Ward 4 Councilor Mary O’Connell concerning environmental safeguards. At-large Councilor David A. Flaherty questioned Perry about the review of the license application by the Fire Department, an issue that has delayed approval of fuel storage facilities in the past. Perry responded by saying that the City Council issues the license, not the Fire Department. “I don’t think we can issue the license unless this document is signed by the Fire Department,” Flaherty said to the applicant. The council members voted to send the underground fuel-storage application to its License Committee. The second company presenting detail of it proposal at the second public hearing is seek special permit for motor vehicle sales at it 627 Southampton Road property. Andrew Kurtz, an owner of Hometown Structures, is a builder of custom sheds, garages, home, barns, pergolas, gazebos and play sets, is petitioning the City Council for a permit to sell trailers. Kurtz said that Hometown Structures is seeking to become the area dealership of B Wise Trailers of Chambersburg, Penn., and would engage in retail sales of trailers, dump trailers and equipment trailers if the council approves the special permit. Kurtz said the six-acre Hometown Structure property is divided into two zones, Business B in the front area and industrial A in the rear of the lot. Motor vehicle sales are allowed in the Industrial A zone through a City Council issued special permit. “We were approached by a trailer manufacturer to put trailer retail in the back,” Kurtz said. “We can’t do it in the front, but we can do it in the back of the property, sell B Wise brand trailers as an additional product line.” The Council also referred that petition to its License Committee by a voice vote.
One month in, PVPC site being used regionally By Peter Francis Staff Writer SPRINGFIELD – Following the launch of the Pioneer Valley Data Portal last month, the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission has been pleased with the amount of usage it has received, as numerous non-profit organizations and municipalities in western Mass. are now utilizing it. The site seeks to provide key regional economic, planning, and workforce data, and is a collaborative effort of the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission (PVPC), the Economic Development Council of Western MA (EDC), the Regional Employment Board of Hampden County (REB), and the Franklin Regional Council of Governments (FRCOG) known as ROADS, or Regional Organizations Advanced
Data Sharing. “The website was created to provide a database of shared information that is commonly used between our organizations and requested externally, but is not readily accessible,” said David M. Cruise, President and CEO of the REB after the site’s launch. Cruise added that once the initial database was created, the partnership’s next phase was for the public to have access to this data, since “business decisions, grant submissions, media articles, and policy decisions are data-driven.” “This is a great example of how regional organizations in the Pioneer Valley are collaborating to use our resources in a more efficient and coordinated manner,” said Timothy W. Brennan, Executive Director of the PVPC, last month. “Sharing approaches to data use is
just one of many ways that our organizations communicate and strategize with each other on a regular basis.” Now, a month into it’s existence, folks are still excited about the site as a resource, said PVPC Principal Planner and Manager Molly Goren-Watts. “We saw a big boost in use right away, but what I’ve been hearing from everybody I’ve spoken to is that people have been excited about having access to so much data,” she said Friday. “People are using it to research population and demographic information regarding ethnicity and population trends.” Goren-Watts added that local municipalities are using the site as a resource when filling out grant applications. “Most of the people who are using it aren’t
calling me for information now,” Goren-Watts said. “We don’t know what they’re using it for, we just know they’re using it.” She said the data and data sets will continue to be updated on a yearly basis. “The regional planning boards meet quarterly to discuss this collaboration,” she said. “This collaboration is looking for ways to put together more data sets for the region (on the site).” Goren-Watts said that the PVPC itself is also looking to develop another website that will present data in a more visual manner for the general populace. “We want to develop another page that will allow people to visually compare data with mapping and graphics, rather than just downloading data for analysis,” she said.

Pub tour to benefit Westfield Auxiliary Police WESTFIELD – The 4th Annual Kentucky Derby Restaurant and Pub Tour is set to take place on Saturday, May 3. The proceeds from the tour will benefit the Westfield Auxiliary Police Department and the Music Fest 2014 Concert Series. The Westfield Auxiliary Police is a volunteer organization that assists the Westfield Police Department in serving the citizens of Westfield. They patrol and safeguard parks, playgrounds, and municipal buildings, as well as help with special events such as parades and firework shows. All of the auxiliary police are trained at a high level and some have become full-time officers within Westfield and across Massachusetts at the federal, state, and municipal levels. Since they are a volunteer organization, they pay for much of their gear and tools out of pocket. That is why the Kentucky Derby Pub Tour has chosen them as a beneficiary. The tour will start at 4 p.m. and go until 9 p.m. and participants will be going from one designated stop to another throughout downtown Westfield. At each venue, participants will receive a raffle ticket for showing up and another for wearing a Kentucky Derby-themed hat. The raffle tickets are for the chance to win prizes such as Big E tickets, an Alex & Ani Horse Shoe bracelet, a Music Fest VIP pack for the 2014 series, and other items. Music Fest was rekindled after the Park Square Green was rebuilt. The latest series was held in 2013 featuring Livingston Taylor, Cassadee Pope, and Joel Cruise. The concerts are free to the public, so the City Westfield has decided to use pub tour proceeds to underwrite costs this year. The fee to participate in the pub tour in $22 in advance and $25 on-site. Upon registration participants will receive a 4th Annual Kentucky Derby Restaurant and Pub Tour t-shirt, a complimentary raffle ticket, and a “Pub Pass” that includes 15 percent off a purchase in May at Ezra’s Mercantile, 10 percent off a post-pub brunch on May 4 at Clemenza’s, and complimentary food at each venue. Westfield On Weekends and The Business Improvement District of Westfield run the pub tour. If you want to participate in the tour or would like to make a donation, visit the WOW website, www.westfieldonweekends.com. For more information contact Diana McLean at (413)-5726244.

Teen suspended for asking Miss America to prom YORK, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania high school student is in hot water for asking Miss America to prom during a question and answer session at school. Eighteen-year-old Patrick Farves said he received three days of in-school suspension Thursday because he asked Nina Davuluri to prom. The senior at Central York High School stood up and popped the prom question, then walked to the stage with a plastic flower. Davuluri just laughed and the students cheered. School officials heard about Farves’ plan in advance and warned him not to do it. He has apologized for disrupting the

Westfield History This Week
A look at the history of Old Colony Envelope By JEANETTE FLECK WSU Intern Eighty-eight years. That’s how long the company formerly known as Old Colony Envelope has operated in the city of Westfield, eventually becoming a factory employing 200 workers. For most of those years, their factory was located at 94 North Elm Street, originally built for a whip company – the Independent Whip Company – in 1894. The whip manufacturers vacated the premises before 1920 – a few years before the large-scale decline of whip production – and the startup Old Colony Envelope manufacturers moved in a few years later, to remain on those premises for over 70 years.
At one point, the International Paper Company became the owners of Old Colony Envelope, but the name of the company remained the same. International Paper also has offices in Westfield, but nothing to do with the envelope company, as it sold Old Colony to National Envelope, a Long Island based company, in late 1994. This time, the name associated with the product did change. Around 1997, National Envelope decided to move the premises to Turnpike Industrial Road, a location hidden between Westfield High School and the turnpike entrance. The company was going strong at this point, even expanding their new facilities by over 130,000 square feet – more than doubling its previous size – for $6 million, a project completed in
2000. The North Elm factory has, in its turn, been extensively renovated, and from the outside, it now passes as a brand new office building. The Westwood Restaurant and Pub, though, which opened there in 2002, re-used some of the old materials in the design of their pub section, trying to keep the location’s historic atmosphere. Westfield’s city officials used the office space while City Hall was under renovations, and the building overall is still a landmark. Everything started going downhill in the New Millennium, as the advent of the Internet did much the same thing as the invention of the automobile did to the horse-and-buggy. By 2010, the nationwide National Envelope com-
pany had already been bankrupt and saved. By 2013, they filed again, this time to be purchased by Cenveo on September 17th. Cenveo, one of National Envelope’s competitors, is based in Connecticut, was incorporated in 1994, and springs from a company established in Colorado in 1919. The National Envelope brand name was retired after the sale, and Westfield’s factory was a footnote until just 8 months later – this month. Cenveo, driven by decreased demand, is shutting down several factories across the U.S., and the Westfield factory is on the list. RIP Old Colony Envelope. 1922-2014.

Government Meetings
Update from Rep. John Velis I was officially sworn into office this past week, on Wednesday. It’s a day I’ll long remember. As I took my oath to represent Westfield, looking out at my family, friends, supporters and new colleagues from the historic floor of the Massachusetts General Court, I was in awe of the tremendous honor bestowed on me. The State House is a monument to the pride we have in our rich tradition of democracy and the people who made a difference in shaping our nation. The impressive display of portraits, murals and sculptures throughout our State House tell the story of the birth of liberty, our commitment to government of the people and the contributions of the legendary statesmen who went before me. It’s an honor to walk in their footsteps and serve you. While that moment may have marked the official start of my term, the reality is that I took action in earnest as soon as I was elected. No sooner than the election results were in, I began receiving calls of congratulations, quickly followed by a call to action as work on the 2015 budget was already underway. I’m proud to serve once again with colleagues from my US Army unit who also happen to be State Representatives. In fact, not since World War II has the Massachusetts State Legislature had the number of sitting legislators and active service members as we do today. I’m leveraging those partnerships, as well as new relationships, to find ways to deliver more value to Westfield. Several representatives contacted me and filed budget amendments at my behest to ensure that our interests were secured in the 2015 budget. Here is a preview of the work in progress. My colleague and fellow serviceman, Representative Hank Naughton (Clinton), the chair of the committee for Public Safety and Homeland Security, filed budget amendments on my behalf. Representative Mike Finn (West Springfield) and I collaborated on an amendment to increase access for the disabled to Noble Hospital. I’m also working on ways to invest in a stronger relationship with our neighbor, Westfield State University, securing more resources for our senior center and increased funding to simulate our downtown businesses. As this work progresses and amendments are finalized, I’ll be able to provide more specific details. Most gratifying of all the work so far, though, is the vote I cast to pass the autism bill. This bill passed unanimously in the House and will move to the Senate for consideration shortly. The bill increases access for people with intellectual disabilities to support systems, services and educational opportunities. As a member of Westfield’s Commission for Citizens with Disabilities, it was an honor for me to be a voice at the state level for these special members of our community. In addition, I made progress on establishing my office here in Westfield. I’m pleased to announce that I hired my Legislative

COMMENT
THE WESTFIELD NEWS
Hi! I took a ride down East Silver Street to check out that ramp that is being put in for the bike trail (at right). I’m 100 percent in favor of the bike trail, but where that ramp is, it boggles the mind. Its literally going through these people’s backyards. If they’re sitting in their kitchen having coffee, they could watch the bike people go by 15 feet off their house. There is plenty of room on the other side of the railroad to put that ramp, where all the businesses are. It would be safer, too, because that is going to be a blind exit coming on to East Silver Street. And people that live on hills with dirt driveways should have the courtesy to clean up the road after a heavy rainstorm. Think about it. Thank you. Yeah, this is on Thursday’s PulseLine, somebody writing about the politicians are no good, the President is an idiot and people getting handout. Why don’t you, sir, find out what is really going on instead of blaming the politicians for everything? You’re blaming the town for everything, blaming the mayor, how about blaming yourself? What are you doing? I bet that you eat well. I bet that you never collected unemployment. I bet you never had not much money because apparently you are the only one in this town who knows what is wrong with this country. You’re blaming the politicians and the city for everything. Why don’t you just get a life? You sound nothing but like the complainer that you are. Thank you. It’s getting to be moose ruttin’ season so who is going to be the stupid one to shoot a moose again? An innocent moose? Who is going to be the stupidest one on the police force to shoot the moose, when they see one again?
Deport Justin Bieber? White House won’t belabor By Nick Gass Politico.com The White House has answered the call to deport Justin Bieber, but those hoping for the Canadian pop star to take a long hike up north will be disappointed. More than 270,000 people signed the petition “to deport Justin Bieber and revoke his green card,” but the administration said it’s not going to comment. The announcement released Friday reads in part: Thanks for your petition and your participation in We the People. Sorry to disappoint, but we won’t be commenting on this one. The We the People terms of participation state that, “to avoid the appearance of improper influence, the White House may decline to address certain procurement, law enforcement, adjudicatory, or similar matters properly within the jurisdiction of federal departments or agencies, federal courts, or state and local government in its response to a petition.” So we’ll leave it to others to comment on Mr. Bieber’s case, but we’re glad you care about immigration issues. Because our current system is broken. Too many employers game the system by hiring undocumented workers, and 11 million people are living in the shadows. That status quo isn’t good for our economy or our country. We need common-sense immigration reform to make sure everyone plays by the same set of rules. Not only is it the right thing to do morally, it’s the right thing for our country: Independent economists say immigration reform will grow our economy and shrink our deficits by almost $1 trillion in the next 20 years. For those of you counting at home, that’s 12.5 billion concert tickets — or 100 billion copies of Mr. Bieber’s debut album.

Mr. Garand’s fearsome invention By John Paradis APR, Lt. Col., USAF (Ret.) Soldiers’ Home in Holyoke NORTHAMPTON - I would surmise that few school children in our region have heard of Jean “John” Cantius Garand. I suspect few adults, too. But if you are of French-Canadian descent like me, or you worked in the Springfield Armory like thousands of men and women in the Valley, his name means something. And if you fought in World War II, “Garand” is more than a French surname; it was the name of the most deadly weapon of its time. For an infantryman in World War II, it’s not a stretch to say that you likely owe Mr. Garand your life. When Garand died 40 years ago, his obituary was on page 62 of the Springfield Republican. It should have been on the front page of every paper in America. On April 27 when the French Heritage Center in Chicopee commemorates the 70th anniversary of “D-Day,” the landing in Normandy by allied forces on June 6, 1944, Garand’s name will be prominent. That’s fitting, since he was the chief civilian engineer at the Springfield Armory during World War II and invented the semi-automatic infantry rifle known as the M1 Garand. Gas operated and weighing less than 10 pounds, Garand’s rifle fired twice as fast as the Army’s previous standard issued weapon. It was superior to anything on the battlefield. Said General George S. Patton: “In my opinion, the M-1 Rifle is the greatest battle implement ever devised.” Born in Quebec on New Year’s Day in 1888, Garand was one of thousands of French Canadians whose parents were lured from their farms in hopes of a better life in America. About 2 million French Canadians immigrated to New England to work in textile and industrial mills, with hundreds of thousands making the Connecticut River Valley their home. For more than a century, Franco-Americans have influenced New England’s culture and way of life. During World War II, thousands worked for arms and ammunition companies in greater Springfield and were a significant percentage of the labor pool that fueled what President Franklin Roosevelt called the “Arsenal of Democracy.” “It is only fitting that the French Heritage Center honor those soldiers who served our country during World War II and reassert our ties with America’s first friend, the nation of France, whose citizens still lovingly, faithfully, and gratefully tend the graves in Normandy cemeteries where Allied soldiers are buried,” says Marie Meder, organizer of the event. The keynote speaker will be James Woolsey, superintendent of the Springfield Armory National Historic Site. World War II veterans, including men from the Soldiers’ Home in Holyoke who participated in the D-Day landings, will attend. Before Woolsey became superintendent of the sprawling former U.S. arsenal, he spent two years in France as director of Visitor Services at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial, where nearly 10,000 Americans are buried.
At every chance he gets, Woolsey mentions the significance of the armory, and particularly “The Garand.” When Germany invaded Poland in 1939, the armory, knowing America’s entry into the war was imminent, increased its production capacity by 300 percent, equipping the entire U.S. Army with the M1 Garand rifle by 1941, says Woolsey. No region of the United States was perhaps as vital to the American war effort as ours. “Springfield, Massachusetts, made the most important piece of equipment any soldier carries and it was the best in the world,” Woolsey wrote in the Springfield Republican last December. Many of my French-Canadian relatives worked in the war plants. As a child I heard them tell stories about “gun and engine valley.” How important was our region? My father would tell me that we were so vital to the nation that Nazi Germany had plans drawn to bomb our plants. Had the Normandy invasion failed, it’s possible that the transatlantic bombers and ship-launched missiles Germany was developing could have struck our factories and mills. On Hitler’s maps were locations such as the Springfield Armory, the Colt and Pratt and Whitney plants in Connecticut and the region’s ball bearing industry. Hitler thought that if he could take out our factories, he could take down America. Before there was a Silicon Valley, there was the nation’s Connecticut River Valley, considered in its industrial heyday to be the “precision corridor” and the world’s innovation leader. Many French immigrants brought their skills as carpenters, lumbermen, stone masons and word-carvers and were invaluable workers. Like Garand, “they excelled in craftsmanship,” says Meder. The average age of our World War II veterans and World War II generation factory workers is somewhere in the 90s. Events like the one in Chicopee may be the last chance to thank them for giving us the freedom we enjoy every day. It’s also time to remember John Garand, the boy from St. Rémi, Quebec, whose weapon armed our military for the battle that turned the tide for the liberation of France and the defeat of Nazi Germany. John Paradis, a retired U.S. Air Force lieutenant colonel, lives in Florence and writes a monthly column that appears on the second Friday. He is the communications director for the Soldiers’ Home in Holyoke. The French Heritage Center D-Day Commemoration Event will be held at Assumption Church Hall (Holy Name Parish), 94 Springfield St., in Chicopee April 27 at 2 p.m. John Paradis, APR, Lt.

Reid: Bundy is a ‘domestic terrorist’

By Lucy McCalmont Politico.com Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid slammed supporters of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, calling them “domestic terrorists.” “These people, who hold themselves out to be patriots are not. They’re nothing more than domestic terrorists,” Reid said Thursday at an event hosted by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The Nevada Democrat said he had spoken in detail to Attorney General Eric Holder, FBI Director James Comey, Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell, as well as the Clark Country sheriff. “Keep in mind what happened up there. There were hundreds, hundreds of people from around the country, that came there,” Reid said. “They had sniper rifles on the freeway. They had assault weapons. They had automatic weapons.” Reid added that some protesters said they had “children and women lined up because if anyone got hurt, we wanted to make sure they got hurt first, because we want the federal government hurting women and children.” Reid also took a shot at Bundy, who he said “does not recognize the United States.” “He says that the United States is a foreign government. He
doesn’t pay his taxes. He doesn’t pay his fees, unlike the rest of Nevada ranchers. And he doesn’t follow the law,” Reid said. “He continues to thumb his nose at authority.” Tensions rose over the weekend after Bundy’s cattle were rounded up by the Bureau of Land Management, citing unpaid grazing fees. The cattle were eventually returned because of “escalating tensions” with protesters, some of whom were armed, The Associated Press reported. Reid’s comments follow a weeklong back-and-forth between Bundy and the lawmaker. Reid said Monday that the situation at the ranch was “not over.” Bundy struck back, saying Reid should stay out of Nevada and focus on doing his job in Washington. Reid said at the event on Thursday, “It is an issue that we cannot let go, just walk away from.” Sen. Rand Paul said Reid shouldn’t be name-calling but added “there is a legitimate constitutional question” as to whether states or federal government should be in control. “I don’t think calling people names is going to calm this down. I think it’s liable to stir it up,” Paul said Thursday on Fox New’s “Hannity.” “So I think all parties — including Sen. Reid — should calm the rhetoric a little bit. Let’s try to have a peaceful resolution to this.”

Boston prepares for huge wave of marathon visitors By PHILIP MARCELO Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — With an expanded field of runners and the memory of last year’s bombings elevating interest in one of the world’s great races, the 2014 Boston Marathon could bring an unprecedented wave of visitors and an influx of tourism dollars to the area. Race organizers, in the aftermath of the twin bombings that killed three spectators and injured more than 260 people, expanded the field of runners by 9,000, to nearly 36,000. The majority — more than 21,000 — hail from U.S. states outside of New England. Another 5,330 or so will come from more than 70 foreign countries. The rest will come from Massachusetts and surrounding states. More spectators are also expected to line the 26.2-mile course, which starts west of Boston in Hopkinton and ends downtown on Boylston Street. Some 500,000 spectators typically line the race route; this year, officials estimate the crowds might exceed a million on Monday. Nothing could keep Sarah Stenn, who lives in Sagaponack, N.Y., and finished last year’s marathon about 45 minutes before the bombs detonated, from returning. “Last year, we all saw the worst of humanity, and it was met by the best of humanity,” said Stenn, who is making the trip with her husband, two daughters and her 87-year-old father. “I’m going back because I want my kids and everyone else to know that this race will continue to stand for all that is good and right in life, and that no person or act will every take that away.” Patrick Moscaritolo, president of the Greater Boston Convention & Visitors Bureau, expects the marathon will generate more than $175 million in economic activity over about five days. That’s up from previous year projections of $130 million to $140 million. “This is not a one-day race,” Moscaritolo said. “It’s never been, and I think this year it will be far from that. ... For all sorts of reasons, people are coming out, and they want to stand with the runners and make a statement of support.” Despite the likely economic boon, local businesses are not focused on the bottom line, officials say. “It’s hard to talk about it in dollars and cents, because people’s lives have been lost,” Moscaritolo said. “The bottom line is that people had promised this race would come back bigger and stronger than ever before, and, by the looks of it, that is going to be the case.” One clear sign of how busy the Boston area is expected to be this weekend is the pace for hotel bookings. Officials say this year’s demand has been the strongest since perhaps the race’s centennial in 1996. Moscaritolo estimated earlier this week that the occupancy rate

He was assessed $350, ordered to complete a Driver Alcohol Education Program at a cost of $817.22 and his license was suspended for 45 days. He was found to be not responsible for a marked lanes violation. Kevin Abarca-zerpa, 30, of 39 Miller Road, Southwick, submitted to facts sufficient to warrant a guilty finding for a charge of unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle brought by Blandford police and the charge was continued without a finding and dismissed upon payment of fees and assessments totaling $100. He was found to be responsible for a charge of speeding in violation of special regulations and assessed $100. Liam P. Morrissey, 17, of 174 S. Loomis St., Southwick, submitted to facts sufficient to warrant guilty findings for charges of breaking and entering in the daytime with intent to commit a misdemeanor and larceny of property valued less than $250 brought by Southwick police and the charges were continued without a finding with probation for one year. He was assessed $50. In a separate case also brought by Southwick police, Morrissey again submitted to facts sufficient to warrant

With an expanded field of runners and the memory of last year’s bombings elevating interest in one of the world’s greatest races, the 118th Boston Marathon, scheduled for Monday, April 21, 2014, could bring an unprecedented wave of visitors and an influx of tourism dollars to the area. (AP Photo/Steven Senne) in the 23,000 or so hotel rooms in Boston and Cambridge was at nearly 90 percent. That’s up from about 83 to 84 percent for previous marathons, said Moscaritolo, adding that there are still plenty of options for last minute travelers, with some 27,000 more hotel rooms elsewhere in Greater Boston. Officials at Marathon Tours & Travel, the official travel agency for the Boston Athletic Association, which organizes the race, say they are working with hotels south and west of the city to help meet demand. “Most of the time, we’re usually looking at hotels toward the finish line because people want to finish the race and get right back to their room,” said Kelly McLay, the company’s sales and marketing manager. “But this year, we’ve seen an extension to ones along the course route.” And it’s not just the marathon putting pressure on hotels, said Paul Sacco, of the Massachusetts Lodging Association. This year’s race comes at a busy travel time overall, coinciding with Passover, Easter and spring breaks. Sheila Prevou, of Leavenworth, Kan., is running her sixth Boston Marathon. She and a friend were coming in Friday and planned to stay through Tuesday. “You want a day to celebrate, and I think this year that will be especially important to do that,” she said. “Plus, you guys have such great restaurants. We’ll definitely be eating our way through the city.”
guilty findings for charges of receiving stolen property valued less than $250 and larceny of property valued less than $250 and the charges were again continued without a finding with probation for one year. He was ordered to pay $125 in restitution. Pablo A. Baez, 42, of 203 Circuit Ave., West Springfield, saw charges of assault and battery and malicious destruction of property valued less than $250 brought by Westfield police dismissed at the request of the named victim when she asserted her marital privilege and refused to testify. Laurie Rouillard, 51, of 47 Broad St., was released on $1,500 personal surety pending a June 10 hearing after she was arraigned on a charge of possession of a Class D drug with intent to distribute brought by Westfield police. Justin G. Benson, 26, of 48 Montgomery St., saw a charge of possession of a Class D drug with intent to distribute brought by State Police not prosecuted after Judge William Hadley allowed a defense motion to suppress evidence.

Rare sighting of bowhead whale in Cape Cod Bay PROVINCETOWN, Mass. (AP) — Researchers have identified a bowhead whale in Cape Cod Bay - the second time in recorded history the animal has been seen so far south in the Atlantic Ocean. Workers for the Provincetown, Mass.-based Center for Coastal Studies reported Friday the bowhead was identified during an aerial survey on April 11 as it fed alongside right whales. Bowheads typically inhabit the Arctic Ocean and northern reaches of the Atlantic and Pacific. The center said the whale was about 1,000 miles outside of its normal range. Even sightings in the colder waters off Maine or New Hampshire are unusual. The center said the animal was not in danger. The first time a bowhead was spotted so far south in the Atlantic was in 2012 off Orleans, Mass.

Margaret M. Gordon Memorial Scholarship Contact Person: Daughter Beverly Kowalczyk 61 South Maple Street Westfield, MA 01085 Margaret “Maggie” Mae Gordon was a devoted wife to her husband John for 63 years. She was a mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Maggie was a member of the First United Methodist Church, a fan of the Boston Red Sox, NASCAR, and country music. Originally from Nova Scotia, Canada, Maggie came to the United States with her husband and young family in 1962. She worked as a receptionist at Agway Distribution Center in Westfield until her retirement. Maggie was a sweet, caring woman who never had a bad word to say about anyone. She always asked how everyone was doing, and her family misses her sweet “Hello” when she answered the phone. Upon retirement, Maggie and John wintered in Florida for many years. When the cold New England months of January and February came, they would happily welcome their family to Florida. Cheerfully, Maggie would endure Disney World, NASA, Busch Gardens, the beach, and other tourist attractions with them. Maggie loved crocheting, knitting, and gardening. For many years she tenderly grew beautiful roses, along with perennials and annuals. Maggie’s gardens were so beautiful that her daughter had her wedding pictures taken there. She and John also loved their vegetable garden. Family and friends always had lots of delicious veggies, and the family savored the taste of her famous “mustard pickles!” Maggie and John loved to travel, especially on cruises. They took countless cruises, but Alaska and St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands were their favorites. In March 2011, 32 family mem-

THE WESTFIELD NEWSSPORTS Good Friday for Tigers By Chris Putz Staff Writer SPRINGFIELD – It truly was a Good Friday for the Westfield Voc-Tech softball team. Westfield Voc-Tech had a smashing good time, crushing Commerce 28-16 Friday at Marshall Roy Field. It was the Tigers’ first victory of the season. They are now 1-3. “This (win) was fantastic for us,” Voc-Tech co-coach Deb Falcetti said. “This gives our team the confidence that we have been searching for.” “To pull it all together as a team, this is such a confidence booster.” Voc-Tech rallied several times. The Tigers fell behind 7-3 in the first inning and 11-8 Westfield second baseman Ashton Kennedy makes the tag on a Central base runner during in the third, tying the game at Friday’s game at Bullens Field.

WHS wins in 11th took part in a long, drawn out thriller Friday. Cody Neidig plated Kenny Mclean for the game-winning run in the bottom of the 11th inning for a 1-0 win over Central Friday at Bullens Field. Mclean reached base in the inning for the team’s first hit of the game. “The Bombers only had two hits, but made the most of it,” Westfield coach Rich Discenza said.

Velazquez said. “Everyone was happy, cheering for each other.” Illnicky, who came on in relief of starter Catherine Oleksak, enjoyed a 1-2-3 fifth inning. The Voc-Tech offense poured it on over the final two innings to pull away. In the sixth, Velazquez belted a towering two-run homer to right-center field. Lindsay drove in two runs on a great
base knock in the seventh, and Velazquez hit a two-run triple in the seventh, followed by a monstrous 3-run triple. “I’m extremely proud of this team,” Voc-Tech starting pitcher Catherine Oleksak said. “Everyone did a fantastic job.” Illnicky offered her take on the team’s effort. “When things get rough, we’re able to pull it together,” Illnicky said.
Westfield Voc-Tech 13, PVCS 2 Voc-Tech received a solid pitching effort from Jake Parsons (5 innings, 9 Ks), and reliever Ramon Avalle, a triple play with the score 4-2, and a 3-run homer from Tyler French in a seven-run, fifth inning. “The guys rallied great in the middle of ice cold weather,” said Voc-Tech coach Kyle Dulude, whose team played in 39 degree temperatures.

A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves

Gene Haas, man on a mission. Why would Gene Haas want to buy a Formula One team?
GODSPEAK: After going winless in his first decade of racing, it looks like Haas is on a mission. KEN’S CALL: Monte Carlo in late May is probably pretty nice. Monza in September ... not too shabby, either.
Can I buy stock in Chase Elliott?
GODSPEAK: The future is now. He’s got two years, tops, in Nationwide before going up to the big league. KEN’S CALL: Not a bad idea. A win at Darlington tends to scream, “He’s the real deal.”

Junior and Gordo have been pleasant surprises. So far. At our first break of the year, what are your biggest surprises?
NASCAR has put so much emphasis on winning HARVICK’S MAJORS Sprint Cup races that the season-long points standWith his victory in the Southern 500 at Darings have become something of an afterthought. lington, Harvick has won all of NASCAR’s major Kevin Harvick is considered the “leader” goevents, which include the Daytona 500 (richest), ing into the Chase because he became the first Coca-Cola 600 (Charlotte/longest) and two-time winner by nabbing the checkered flag at Brickyard 400 (Indianapolis/history). Darlington Raceway. Darlington was NASCAR’s first But on paper, Jeff Gordon leads the actual superspeedway, joining the Cup points standings. The four-time Cup chamtour in 1950. pion has accumulated 297 points, one better than Matt Kenseth. Gordon, 42, has been one of the most consistent drivers this season, with six top-10 finishes in eight races, but in this Getty Images / RAINIER EHRHARDT current “win and you’re in” frenzy, he gets Jeff Gordon may be little attention. without a win this season, Gordon rolled the dice at Darlington by but six top-10 finishes in taking two tires on a late pit stop, hoping eight races has him first track position would trump those taking four new tires. He guessed wrong. He finished sevin points. enth in the No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevy. “We just made some mistakes and got behind,” Gordon said. “We were the last car on two tires and then got ate up on those restarts. Actually that last one wasn’t bad, to come home seventh. “I thought it was going to be a lot worse than that. Good to be leading the points, but I feel like a missed opportunity, but another great race car and I’m happy about that.” Gordon can get the last laugh. He can get into the Chase on points and advance through the knockout rounds even without a win. The championship is decided by which one of four surviving drivers finishes the highest at Homestead. So buck up, Gordon. You can still get to the championship table without scoring a victory.
Some of you wondered if Junior Earnhardt would ever figure out how to run up front consistently. You also might’ve wondered if Jeff Gordon’s front-running days were behind him, but he’s up top in the points. And even if you don’t think rookie Austin Dillon should be in the No. 3, you have to give him a nod for being in the top 10 in the points.
The letdowns? For starters, we’ve seen seven different cars pull into Victory Lane through the first eight races, and none of those seven teams had the No. 48 on its side. There’s little doubt Jimmie Johnson will collect another trophy soon, but the longer he goes without, you eventually start to wonder if everyone else has chased down the 48’s dominance and turned Jimmie into just another member of the front-pack club.
The disappointments? It’s hard to figure out why the Stewart-Haas bunch is mostly hit-ormiss and why Danica can’t at least stumble into a top-five finish. Or why Kasey Kahne is 22nd in the points. Or why, on the business end, the TV and attendance numbers can’t find their past horsepower. They talked this past week about the possibility of returning Darlington’s race date back to Labor Day weekend, and while that’s not a fix-all, it would be a nice start. Yanking that date away was one of the moves that alienated a lot of lifetime fans. Ken Willis has been covering NASCAR for The Daytona Beach NewsJournal for 27 years.

FEUD OF THE WEEK
VICKERS BAFFLED While other drivers went faster on four fresh tires, Brian Vickers said his No. 55 Toyota felt better after twotire pit stops at Darlington. Vickers led twice for 30 laps after a two-tire stop late in the race. Going to four fresh tires was his undoing. He finished 26th. “We had a decent car. On one run, we took two tires and the thing drove better than it did when we had four tires, and I don’t know why. We were OK out front, and I’m sure a lot of it is just the handle. I think we had at least a top-10 car, maybe a top-five, and if the cards would have been played right maybe even a win. Obviously, that one time we took two and stayed there. When we got four, we couldn’t stay there. I don’t know why that is.”
KURT BUSCH
CLINT BOWYER
Kurt Busch vs. Clint Bowyer: Bowyer used his No. 15 Toyota to root Busch’s No. 41 Chevy out of the way during an overtime restart. Godwin Kelly gives his take: “Busch was standing next to his wrecked car when he pointed at Bowyer during the caution. Bad sign.”

DARLINGTON REWIND
Harvick’s crew chief talks winning tire-change strategy Rodney Childers is the crew chief of the No. 4 Stewart-Haas Racing Chevrolet driven by Kevin Harvick. Childers made the tough call for a four-tire change at the end of the Bojangles’ Southern 500, which took Harvick to victory Saturday night. Harvick and Childers now have two wins through eight races. You had to make a call there at the end. It was the right call. Talk about the thought that went into that. “Yeah, I mean, I thought we had a strong
car all weekend, so when it comes down to the end like that, I thought the right thing for us was to put four tires on. I was thinking there would be three or four that put two on, and we were right beside the No. 20 (Matt Kenseth) and the No. 24 (Jeff Gordon) on pit road, so I knew that’s what they were going to do. But I still thought four was the right thing. We got a little bit fortunate there with the caution coming out. If that wouldn’t have happened we probably wouldn’t have won the race. It’s
hard to say. It’s always easy to go back and think about that stuff and what you should have done and shouldn’t have done. I think we could have won the race on two tires, and we still won it on four. Really all that goes down to Kevin and his determination at the end of the race and the guys building the strong race car, and like he said, keeping their heads down and just keep preparing for each weekend.” When you made the four-tire call, did you have in mind that very likely there were go-
ing to be more cautions and more restarts to make up for the four-tire time? “Originally when I made the call, that’s not what was in my head. After we left pit road and I saw that many cars in front of us, I thought that was maybe our only shot. It worked out good for us. The thought process going in was maybe three cars would take two and we’d be able to drive by them before we got to the end of the race, and we were fortunate things played out the way they did.”

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Unhappy Dear Annie: I have been dating “Pete” for three years and never get invited to his place. He lives in a mobile home. At first, he said he was embarrassed for me to visit. I did see it once and thought it wasn’t bad at all. He has since remodeled the place, so I expected to be invited over to see the results. Nope. Pete’s adult children live with him, including his daughter’s boyfriend. They have their friends (and their mother!) over all the time, but not me. Pete comes to my house every weekend, has dinner with my children and me, and spends the night. When I ask why I can’t come to his place, he avoids answering. I feel used. Every weekend, Pete has a nice place to stay and a hot shower in the morning, but he won’t share his life with me. He won’t take me on vacation, even though I’d pay my own way. He says his money is only for his children. Meanwhile, his daughter won’t speak to me because I told Pete to stop giving her his charge card to use for parties when his ex-wife comes over to stay. If I can’t come over, why should she? I love Pete, and he says he loves me and wants to spend the rest of his life with me, but I don’t understand what’s going on, and I don’t like it. Do you think it’s worth investing any more time in this relationship, or should I move on without him? -Unhappy Dear Unhappy: We think Pete is so worried about alienating his children that he allows them to set the rules, and they have decided that their mother is welcome, but you are not. Unless Pete is willing to stand up to them, this will not change. The same goes for the allocation of his money. His kids want it, he wants to give it to them, and you don’t get a say in the matter. As with any relationship, you should weigh what you want against what you are likely to get, and then decide how to handle it. Dear Annie: One of my co-workers is constantly on her cellphone, speaking loudly in Russian, walking up and down the halls and disrupting everyone in the building. She has been warned several times, but continues the behavior. She also spends most of the day looking at Facebook and responding to personal emails. She gets paid well for doing nothing. A few of us have spoken to the boss about her, but so far, he hasn’t done anything. How do we proceed? -- Frustrated in Sarasota, Fla. Dear Florida: Your problem is not the co-worker -- it’s your boss. A warning that is not enforced is meaningless. Unless he attaches real consequences to her unprofessional behavior, she will continue. If there is a human resources department or your boss has a supervisor, direct your complaints there. If not, the rest of you can complain to your boss each time, preferably together, in the hope that it will spur him to take action. But otherwise, all you can do is find ways to ignore her. Dear Annie: I believe you were mistaken in your response to “Cookies No More,” who said a man cracked a tooth on one of her cookies. Either the sister or the rented hall should have liability insurance to cover exactly this sort of incident. This is the way it works for our local Grange Hall when we rent it out for events. -- Regular Reader Dear Reader: You are not the only reader to mention that she or the hall should have liability insurance to cover such things. We hope “Cookies” will look into it. Our thanks to all who wrote. We appreciate that you are looking out for each other. Happy Easter to our readers.

HINTS FROM HELOISE Knowing How to Shut It Down Dear Heloise: In the past year, I have REMODELED my kitchen and both bathrooms. My house is about 40 years old. Much to my surprise, all the hot- and cold-water shut-off valves, including both toilets, were so tight that I had to use channel locks to break them loose in order to shut them off. I suggest that once a year you go around and make sure these valves are loose and can be shut off by hand in case of a broken line or overflowing toilet. It also would be wise to make sure everyone in the household knows where the main water shut-off valve into the house is located to avoid major damage in the event of a broken pipe in the wall or ceiling. -- Robert L., via email How right you are! If you are a homeowner or renter, you should know some of the basics of home maintenance. Many of the simple things that we don’t pay attention to can cause a BIG, expensive problem down the road. Thanks for the good hint! -- Heloise BIRD BEGONE Dear Heloise: A few weeks ago, a female cardinal began pecking at her reflection on our kitchen window. This would go on for hours every day, and for many days. After several attempts to run her off, we cut some strips of shiny Christmas paper and taped one end of each strip to the window. The wind would blow and keep them flapping. The flapping strips of paper scared off the female cardinal, and now we have peace and quiet. -- K.M., via email

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, April 19, 2014: This year you have an opportunity to break a pattern and become more dynamic; travel and a foreigner could be involved. Some of you might go back to school in order to learn more in your chosen field or to develop a new interest. If you are single, you will open up to a new group of friends. It is likely that you will meet someone special through them. This will happen during the summer or the second part of your birthday year. If you are attached, plan on taking that special trip you often discuss. The summer would be the perfect time for the two of you to experience this adventure. CAPRICORN just seems to annoy 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) HHHH Explore a new spot or visit an area you don’t know well. Try to leave your hassles behind, at least for the moment. Contact a friend who lives at a distance. You’ll enjoy catching up on news, plus you might want to plan a visit. Tonight: Out late. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH A loved one will want to spend more time with you. Make it your pleasure. A discussion about a child or younger friend will give you some insight. Do not push someone away from you, even if you find him or her to be intrusive. Tonight: Go where you can be entertained. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You’ll see life from a whole different perspective. You might realize that you seem to be excluding someone interesting from your life. Make it a point to take a break from being so assertive once in a while. Observe more. Tonight: Time to get to know someone better. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Complete a project that has been hanging over your head for far too long. Ask for some help if you need it. Your determination and endurance need to be called upon. Once you are done with this task, you will have a big reason to celebrate. Tonight: The party begins. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH What you consider to be a fun happening might intimidate a dear friend. Though you are relaxed, this person might not be. A loved one will be full of ideas. Initiate a conversation and explore the limits of his or her imagination. Tonight: Let a loved one make the first move. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Tension will stem from having too many obligations to fulfill. Ask for help. Make time to purchase a new item or two, perhaps for tonight. A loved one knows just how to appeal to you and lighten up the moment. Tonight: Let this person do his or her thing. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You might want to stop at the gym while you do your normal Saturday errands. You could run into a special friend and have a strong reaction at first. Invite this person to join you for lunch and a chat. You will enjoy catching up on news. Tonight: All smiles. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Visualize what you want, and make it so. Many of you might decide to organize an informal gathering at your place either tonight or tomorrow. Make calls in the late afternoon. Reach out to those at a distance as well. Tonight: Hang out. Catch up on some special news. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Remain sensitive to a friend or loved one. You might be having a great time on your own. This person might be unusually difficult and somewhat uptight right now. Treat him or her as you would like to be treated. Tonight: Great dinner, great company. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Allow your needs to call the shots right now. Take some time off today to nap. Perhaps you might want to schedule a massage, too. If you don’t take good care of yourself, you will be worthless to others. Tonight: All of a sudden you are up to snuff. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Be willing to take a risk and share what you feel. You could find someone’s reaction to be revealing. Get together with friends at a game or go off to the movies. An invitation will come forward that you’ll want to say “yes” to.
Cryptoquip
Crosswords
Tonight: Not alone and not to be found. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You might have to take care of a situation. Whether it involves work or a relative will make little difference. Others admire your diligence. Make plans for late this afternoon, when you will be more than ready to let loose. Let your weekend begin now. Tonight: All smiles.
