Alleged ambush brings charges

By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Two city men have been arraigned on assault charges after two victims reported a vicious and apparently premeditated assault early Thursday morning.

Capt Michael McCabe said Thursday morning that an Elizabeth Avenue resident returning home with her new boyfriend arrived to see her former boyfriend, and a friend of his, parked in his pickup truck across the street from her home.

When her new boyfriend parked, she later told police, her former boyfriend, Ryan Pasquini-Pezzini, 22, of 27 Francis St., and his friend, Zachary A. Holder, 23, of 27

Francis Street, ran across the street, pulled her boyfriend from his car, and assaulted him.

Officer David Burl was the first to arrive at the scene and reports that when the two assailants began to beat her boyfriend, kicking him and striking him with metal pipes, the young woman ran to her former boyfriend’s pickup and started blowing the vehicle’s horn in an effort to attract attention to the assault.

Burl was told that the two suspects then returned to the truck and drove away, with the woman still inside.

The victim told police that the two men assaulted her while she was in the truck

before pushing her from the vehicle on East Mountain Road.

When Sgt. Jeffrey Baillargeon arrived at Elizabeth Avenue he found a pair of shoes and a purse in the driveway and began a search of the area for the owner of the property.

He found the female victim walking back to her home, barefoot. An ambulance was summoned and she was transported to Noble Hospital for treatment of injuries she sustained.

The victim’s car was damaged during the attack, a rear-view mirror was ripped from See Alleged Ambushed, Page 7

By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Joe Mitchell, economic development director for the City of Westfield, travelled to Washington D.C. Thursday morning to speak in support of the Barnes Air National Guard Base.

Travelling in place of Westfield Mayor Daniel M. Knapik, Mitchell made the trip with Chicopee Mayor Richard Kos to discuss with members of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ congressional delegation the imporJOE tance of avoiding funding MITCHELL cuts to the state’s six military installations.

When Knapik couldn’t make the trip due to prior commitments, he assigned Mitchell, who served in the Air Force and is former Chairman of the city’s Airport Commission, to sit in his place.

“I met with Congressman Richard Neal and the rest of the Massachusetts delegation with the exception of Congressman (Stephen) Lynch and Senator (Elizabeth) Warren, who had prior commitments,” Mitchell said. “It was just a general discussion about all of Massachusetts and the partnership between the state, the various military branches, and the local communities.”

Mitchell, Kos, and the Bay State’s representatives met with Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James about the benefits of maintaining the bases in Massachusetts.

“It is economically advantageous to keep the bases the way they are, if not even expand on the bases,” said Mitchell. “It’s a force multiplier for the dollars spent there.”

He cited the state’s recent $177 million military bond bill, signed into law by Governor Deval L. Patrick, as evidence of the state’s approach to upgrades.

“I described the runway rehabilitation we had done in Westfield, and how there was a partnership between the Department of Defense, the City of Westfield, the Federal Aviation Administration, the state’s Department of Transportation, and the bond bill and how See Barnes, Page 7

Prank leads to arrest

By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A juvenile Birch Bluffs Drive resident was arrested early Friday morning while apparently attempting to make his escape after breaking into Westfield High School for an apparent senior prank.

City police responded at 3:22 a.m. Friday to multiple motion alarms at the school and the first four officers to arrive established a perimeter to contain any intruders as they waited for the arrival of a school official to help them search the school.

Officer Andrew Vega reports that the searchers found shoe prints in what appeared to be cooking oil which was coating stairways, floors and many other surfaces on the second floor and found a second floor classroom with an open window.

Vega reports that the window looks over a single-story portion of the building so is accessible from the roof of that part of the school.

The screen on the widow had been cut and the window had been forcibly opened, apparently with a screwdriver found in the classroom.

Also found in the classroom were a backpack and 14 cans – apparently empty – of aerosol cooking oil.

No suspect was found in the building but one of the officers searching the school reported that he had heard what sounded to be someone running on the roof.

After the building was thoroughly checked, officers searched for suspects outside the school but found nobody.

Most of the officers were released to respond to other calls for service but the street supervisor, Sgt. Jeffrey Baillargeon, remained in the area and reports he discovered a vehicle parked See Prank, Page 7

Gateway Superintendent’s Corner After spending nearly a week with a group of seniors on their class trip to Florida, I would postulate that their parents, their community, and their schools have successfully prepared them for life after high school. These students were very supportive of each other, were respectful of others, and adapted to the daily changes that they faced with equanimity and confidence.

Given a new environment, the requirement to manage their days (and their money), and interacting with a large number of strangers, they all successfully navigated the activities showing their preparedness for life changes as they graduate from high school this June.

Activities like this field trip display students’ abilities to put the skills and knowledge they have acquired to date into action. While this reflects academics, it is also highly dependent on their ability to use knowledge to solve reallife problems, create new paradigms, and institute a solution with confidence. That level of expertise is based not only on what happens at school, but in the home, in the community, and often in the workplace, with the old say-

Dr. David Hopson ing that ‘practice makes perfect’ factoring in their overall success.

I’m sure that the level of success they had during this senior trip was in large part due to learning from mistakes made in the past, but this trip showed that they have learned to apply that knowledge in a way that yielded success.

The ability to function both independently and as part of a larger group, and to communicate, collaborate and think critically are all desired traits that will help anyone be successful in life.

These traits—taught and honed in myriad activities such as sports, clubs and student activities, learning to work with siblings, parents, and neighbors, in completing group projects, and in the workplace—are some of the very things that, despite their impor-

tance, are not currently measured in state-mandated tests. As we move forward in implementing new state-mandated staff evaluations, we will look at developing ways, outside of taking field trips, to measure the success of our students in acquiring and using these skills: skills that our students will have to have in order to be successful in college, in the military, or in the work force. Not surprisingly, these same skills are needed in order to be a successful citizen, family member, and even an elected official. While we have a long way to go to develop an effective way to measure a student’s success in acquiring and using these skills on a routine basis, I’m

excited to be working with our staff in moving this idea forward as we continue to emphasize the importance of educating the whole child, something this senior trip has proven we’ve done for those students who had the opportunity to participate.

I’d also like to take a moment to thank those chaperones, past and present, who were willing to give not only of their time but also to pay their own way, in order to accommodate the desire of our senior classes to take this senior trip. It certainly makes for some long days but also for some interesting conversations and the opportunity to see the potential that these students have as they face their future.

Surprise delivery — baby raccoons — at NY agency JIM FITZGERALD Associated Press WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) — Someone left five well-fed baby raccoons on the doorstep of the Westchester County Health Department Friday morning, and the department said that person should call immediately to be assessed for the possibility of rabies.

The month-old raccoons were delivered to the department’s office in Mount Kisco in a cage with bottles of milk, blankets and toys, the department said.

“They appear to have been well cared for and nurtured, which means that there was direct contact between these raccoons and the person or people who were caring for them,” said Dr. Sherlita Amler, the county health commissioner. “That’s why it’s important that we talk to the individual or individuals who left them to determine if they may have been potentially exposed to rabies.”

Raccoons are among the most common carriers of rabies, a disease that is fatal if not quickly treated.

Department spokeswoman Caren Halbfinger said if the raccoons’ caretaker comes forward, he or she will be asked about any bites or scratches. Officials also want to

know if the raccoons’ mother was sick.

That would help determine whether the animals must be tested for rabies, which can only be done by killing them, and if any people need treatment.

The raccoons were placed with a certified wildlife rehabilitator who will watch them for signs of the disease.

So we have four points we are left to discuss: The opponents of the new elementary school project argue #1 The immediate repair of the street - The Mayor has that the City of Westfield does not need such a large elementary school and that the Cross Street location is not a suitable authorized some pothole repair but we all know that this is location for such a large capacity (approx. 600 students) temporary. #2 The acceptance of the street – I have little hope at the school.

COMMENT

Recently I read the bike rail trail gruel is getting thin and if not spent more quickly it will be redirected. The thinking of the proponents and the participants in not forcing the powers that be to lift three (plus or minus) bridges on East Silver, Chapel, and Thomas streets is short sighted. Sadly, the Main Street span was removed as it wasn’t deemed aesthetic. Hm. Perhaps it rests with the Noble stained-glass window. If Westfield sees fit to save the bridge at Elm Street and the courthouse, then find a way to utilize the existing bridges with a lift, and honor the railroad architecture while blazing a new travel venue in Westfield. Thank you. – Frank Mills, notorious curmudgeon Wow! Looks like officers Luna, Rowe, Burl, Gaulin, and Bard have been busy keeping us safe. Hats off to the men in blue. Now there is a department that is run and operates properly. Thank you, Westfield Police Department.

What are we wasting our tax dollars on again, in the center of town, on the Green? What are they building, a gazebo? Can they please, please get back and paint the lines from the new bridge northbound? It wore off in less than a year. Buy some better paint with all that money, millions and millions and millions of dollars spent. Please, Mr. Mulvenna, send somebody out there to pint the lines.

I was very interested in today’s Westfield News, Wednesday, May 21, about teacher salaries not being up to par with other towns like Sudbury. I wish I could work 180 days and make $66,000 a year. Not a bad payday. I know, call me mean-spirited, it’s for the children, blah, blah, blah. Still, not a bad payday.

Dan, You had better hurry up with taking Mrs. Wielgus’ land and build YOUR neighborhood school before Your kids are too old to go there. Are the legal fees for this, going to come out of our pockets like your sign-gate fees did. Maybe the rumor of you leaving office will come true A special election to replace you would be worth every penny of taxpayers money. Feeling very overburden tax and fee wise with the direction you have taken us. What were the voters thinking when they put you in this position that is quite apparently way over your capabilities.

Maybe inspecting fire extinguishers to be in compliance was a better fit for you.

Ready for something positive. Near the end of our driveway is a storm water drain. Last week I noticed the asphalt around the perimeter of the grate was collapsing. I notified Westfield’s Public Works department on a Thursday. On Friday someone came by and chalked off the area that needed repair and left an orange barrel. On Monday a crew came by with a jackhammer and removed the asphalt which had been chalked off. Next day, Tuesday, a crew came by and laid new asphalt. I could not be more pleased with the prompt service, considering the scope of the request. Congratulations to Westfield’s Public Works Department. Job well done!! Many thanks.

Good Morning Pulseline! I haven’t had the chance to write in lately – TOO many great things in Westfield going on to have the chance! Speaking of great things… the Westfield Fast Flat 5K is Saturday and the block party. This is one of the best things to happen to Westfield and would not be here if it wasn’t for the positive changes in Westfield. Thank you Mr. Mayor for doing a GREAT job and bringing life back to our beautiful City!!!

I just read the article about taking the Wielgus property. It sound like nothing is going to stop the Mayor. He will take as many step as he needs to get his way. That is persistence. Or maybe arrogance. I think we should name a building after the Mayor. There is one just across the river from the Wielgus property that I think is appropriate. It could be called the Dan Knapik full of _ _ _ _ sewage treatment plant. There is not much worse than an arrogant politician.

Going with some nice folks suggestion that we keep the Pulseline a little more positive, I’d like to make a positive observation concerning our Mayor. I don’t personally know him or his family as I’m not a native born Westfield resident, heck I’m not even a Democrat. However I have observed him to be a person very much interested in making our city a better place to live. And you certainly can speak to him every month if you wish by simply attending his one hour talk sessions he holds around the city and the schedule is always reported in The Westfield News. If this isn’t convenient, I can assure you that he does answer your Emails. As for my small corner of the city I have found him personally involved in trying to improve Shaker Road and make this winding street a safer place. Over the past years this has included increased police patrols, better traffic signs and improved maintenance of the roadbed traffic markings. We have seen sections paved in response to our request and we are in the cue for more paving to fix the sections of the road serious damaged during this difficult winter.These efforts have most certainly resulted in a decrease in accidents and serious injuries. Westfield is a nice place to live, not perfect but I personally think most of our city government folks do care.

Senate Measure would limit employer view of social media

By Brad MacDougall aimnet.org The Massachusetts Senate yesterday joined a growing list of government regulators wading into the issue of employer access to the social media accounts of job applicants and employees.

Social MediaAn amendment to the Fiscal Year 2015 budget passed by the Senate would prohibit employers from collecting the social media passwords of job applicants or current employees. The measure would exempt from the ban companies required by federal law and the Securities and Exchange Commission to monitor the social media activity of certain staff members.

The action comes in the wake of national studies showing that between 10 percent and one-third of U.S. employers searched social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn for information about job applicants. It also comes as the National Labor Relations Board issues sometimes contradictory guidance about the ability of employers to discipline employees who post deroga-

tory information on social media.

Reaction among Massachusetts employers to the Senate bill has so far been muted. Tom Jones, Vice President of the Employers Resource Group at Associated Industries of Massachusetts, says many of the AIM-member employers with whom he speaks rely on general Internet searches that may link to an applicant’s social media accounts instead of direct reviews of social media.

“At the same time, most employers have not yet had the opportunity to review the Senate amendment. We’ll see what the reaction is moving forward,” Jones said.

The proposal would make it unlawful for an employer to do any of the following: require, request, suggest, or cause an employee or applicant to disclose a user name, password or any other means for access, or provide access through a user name or password, to a personal social media account or service; compel an employee or applicant, as a condition of employment or consideration for employment, to add anyone, including the

employer or their agent, to the employee or applicant’s list of contacts associated with a personal social media account or service; or take or threaten any adverse action against an employee or applicant for refusing to disclose any information specified in clause (a) of this section or for refusing to add the employer to a list of contacts associated with a social media account or service, as specified in clause (b) of this section.

Employers who violated the law would be subject to criminal prosecution through the Office of the Attorney General.

Employees bringing civil actions under the measure would be eligible for treble damages for any lost wages and benefits.

Prospective or active students claiming to be harmed would have the option of a private right of action through civil court.

Companies that employ social-media reviews argue that they are important elements of pre-employment due diligence.

These companies use social media to search for unprofessional behavior, to See Social Media, Page 5

Wine flap bubbling up in trade talks

By Adam Behsudi Politico.com Most Americans will be toasting with the bubbling wine formerly known as Champagne if European vintners get their way in trade talks with the United States.

And that’s not all: Burgundy, Chablis and Chianti, among other names, will no longer grace U.S. dining rooms and restaurants either — unless those wines are imported.

The dispute over such wine names, which has come to the fore in the proposed Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership talks, is one slice of a larger spat between influential food and agricultural interests on both sides of the Atlantic, which disagree on whether U.S. companies should be allowed to use famous regional European names such as balsamic vinegar, Scottish whiskey or Parma ham — and vice versa for Europeans’ use of U.S. place-named foods.

Those names have economic value to European winemakers and EU trade, said Jose Ramon Fernandez, speaking for the European Wine Companies Committee in a presentation to negotiators gathered in Arlington, Va., for the fifth round of TTIP talks.

His organization represents 7,000 companies that employ more than 200,000 people, and EU wineries export more than $12.2 billion in wine annually, contributing to an $8.9 billion trade surplus for the EU, he said.

“The full protection of our names must be part of the deal,” Fernandez said.

The U.S. and EU reached a wine agreement in 2006 that allowed American winemakers to continue to market current wines under 17 traditional European names but prevented their use on new U.S. wines. But in remarks to negotiators this week, Fernandez said the two sides had committed to negotiating a second phase of the agreement to boost the wine trade, which they have yet to get around to doing.

Now, EU winemakers say they want to use the transatlantic trade talks to expand that earlier agreement, adding a wine chapter to the trade deal. Their proposal would eliminate wine tariffs, do away with tax schemes that apply tax and tariff cuts to U.S. but not EU winemakers, create a bilateral committee to address wine trade concerns and put a dispute settlement mechanism in place to resolve any trade challenges — and, of course, take back European wine names.

U.S. wine producers are dead set against altering any of the terms in the 2006 agreement — especially the part about the semi-generic names. They’re joined in the effort by the U.S.

dairy industry and other agricultural sectors, which don’t want to give up the use of regional European names for foods such as Irish cheddar and Gruyere.

“EU producers continually advocate that the use of common semi-generic terms such as Burgundy, Chablis and Champagne be prohibited for U.S. wine even though those terms have been used in the U.S. since the 1830s,” said Tom LaFaille, vice president and international trade counsel for the Wine Institute, which represents California wineries.

“Those brand owners’ property rights can’t now be eliminated in a trade agreement,” said LaFaille, who also made arguments before the negotiators this week.

Aside from the 17 semi-generic names the EU winemakers want to make exclusively their own, the wine industries on both sides of the Atlantic already recognize a long list of protected names under the 2006 agreement. An EU winery can’t market its wine as coming from Napa Valley any more than a U.S. vintner can lay claim to the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France.

U.S. winemakers “recognize the need for accurate representation of the origins of wines in all the world’s markets,” LaFaille said. But the EU is looking to expand its system of names — known as geographical indications, or GIs — beyond the list of 17 terms to include previously unprotected, internationally recognized grape varietals like Prosecco, he said.

“While reasonable [geographical indication] rules have benefit, the EU system has morphed into a scheme that now can establish inappropriate GIs, restrict competition and consumer choice and confiscate private property rights for the benefit of a limited number of EU producers,” he said.

The EU isn’t living up to the other terms of the 2006 agreement as well, LaFaille said. For example, the Europeans haven’t recognized some U.S. wine-making practices, which would would need to be approved to sell U.S. wines in Europe.

EU officials also haven’t allowed U.S. vintners to use other traditional terms for wine sold in Europe, such as chateau, vintage, clos (the French word for a walled vineyard) and classic, he said. While U.S. vineyards were supposed to be permitted to market their wines with those terms for three years after the deal, they expected to be able to apply to continue their use.

Under the agreement, the EU can’t reject use of such descriptive terms in the absence of demonstrated harm to consumers, but it has approved only two of 13 such terms the U.S. industry has asked to use since 2010, LaFaille said.

“We have an existing agreement that must be upheld,” LaFaille said.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR To The Editor The federal district court in Springfield ruled that when Westfield Mayor Daniel Knapik ordered the city’s Department of Public Works to remove the lawn signs of his political opponents, he made a decision that was – in the words of the federal court – “hasty, unprecedented, and outside his normal ambit of responsibility.”

The Mayor sought to have the federal court reverse that summary judgment decision against him (quoted above), but the court denied his motion. Therefore, the mayor’s claim that he was acting in good faith or within the scope of his duties and employment when he violated citizens’ constitutional free speech rights - as a matter of fact and of law - simply is wrong.

In the lawsuit against Daniel Knapik we sought no monetary damages, but as the winning party in a civil rights lawsuit, we are entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees from the defendant.

The law appropriately provides that a mayor generally is entitled to indemnification for attorneys’ fees and costs when he is sued for actions he took while acting within the official scope

of his duties. Note that controlling caveat. Here, as we now all know and as the federal court has determined, Daniel Knapik was not acting within the scope of his duties when he ordered the removal of lawn signs that supported office holders and candidates with whom he disagreed.. Accordingly, the mayor should, as the Springfield Republican has editorialized, repay the city the $93,000 appropriated from the city’s coffers for attorneys’ fees and costs – money that need not have been expended on a lawsuit that would not have been filed had Daniel Knapik simply said, I was wrong, and I’m sorry. The mayor should also stop offering half-baked, pretextual excuses for his violation of the federal and state constitutions and instead make a sincere apology to the voters of Westfield and all the people of western Massachusetts who believe in free and fair elections.

AMENDMENTS UPDATE

Senate passes $36.2B budget BOSTON (AP) — The Massachusetts Senate has approved a $36.2 billion state budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1 on a 39-1 roll call vote.

During two days of debate that ended with the vote late Thursday, senators plowed through nearly 1,000 proposed amendments to the spending plan, approving a series of the changes while rejecting others.

The bill “includes many commendable features that are important for fiscal discipline and encouraging economic growth, including a relatively limited draw from the state’s stabilization fund, and the absence of any new broad-based taxes,” Senate Minority Leader, Bruce Tarr, R-Gloucester, said in a statement.

One approved amendment would expand the state’s nickel deposit law to include bottled water and other noncarbonated beverages. Supporters of the effort to update the three decade old law are already pushing to put the question before voters in November if the Legislature doesn’t act first.

The Senate has voted in the past to expand the law to cover beverages such as bottled water and sports drinks, but the measure hasn’t advanced in the House.

Another amendment approved by the Senate would let Massachusetts residents buy pepper spray without a firearms identification card.

Supporters said removing the FID

requirement would make it easier for women to purchase pepper spray for selfdefense. But the measure would make it a criminal offense to sell pepper spray without a license or sell it to anyone under 18.

The House has approved a similar measure.

Yet another amendment approved by the Senate would bar employers from requiring workers or job applicants from disclosing user names or passwords to personal social media accounts.

The amendment would also make it illegal for an employer to force workers or applicants to add the employer to any list of contacts associated with personal social media accounts and prohibit employers from threatening action against an employee or job seeker for refusing to disclose their user name or password.

Another Senate-approved amendment seeks to clarify the conditions under which the email account of someone who has died can be made available during the settling of their estate.

Early in the budget debate, the Senate rejected three Republican-backed amendments that would have lowered taxes, including reducing the sales tax from 6.25 percent to 5 percent and cutting the state income tax — currently 5.2 percent — to 5 percent.

The Democratic-led chamber voted down both proposals.

A third GOP-sponsored amendment would have eliminated a law enacted last year that links automatic increases in the gas tax to future increases in the state’s rate of inflation.

Senators also voted down that proposed amendment.

The question of whether to eliminate the so-called indexing of the gas tax could go before Massachusetts voters in November in the form of a ballot question.

“We were relatively restrained in adding new spending. We were a lot tighter than I expected with amendments as far as allowing earmarks and amendments to pass,” said Sen. Don Humason, Jr., (R-Westfield) Friday. “I must commend them for running a pretty tight ship.

There was relatively little added to the bottom line. There were over 980 amendments filed and debated, about a third of them were adopted.”

“On the whole it was a pretty reserved budget,” he said. “No budget does everything you want it to do, but it wasn’t a bad budget coming out of the gate. The final vote was 39-1, so it was almost unanimous.”

A six-member House and Senate committee will be named to hammer out a final compromise budget.

That plan must be given final approval in both chambers before being sent off to Gov. Deval Patrick for his signature.

confirm professional and academic claims on a resume, or to uncover evidence of risky or dangerous activity.

But Jones warns that the practice may leave employers open to accusations of violating the Massachusetts privacy law or using a candidate’s protected class membership as a basis not to hire. Even if people don’t explicitly discuss sensitive information online or post embarrassing photos, Jones says, workers might accuse an employer of being influenced by telltale clues of a protected status - quotes from a religious text or mention of a baby registry that may suggest a woman is pregnant or has young children.

Some employers also review the on-line activities of current employees for evidence of company policy violations such as posting confidential information, posting during work hours, boasting of inappropriate behavior at work such as drinking or romantic activities, or information regarding union sympathies.

The ability of employers to discipline workers who post disparaging information about the company, its customers or managers has so far been limited by the labor-friendly National Labor Relations Board. The NLRB has generally ruled that the National Labor Relations Act treats social media as a ‘protected, concerted’ activity in which employees may legally engage as long as the sppech concerns terms and conditions of employment.

The NLRB’s position has sometimes been difficult to follow.

In a May 2012 guidance memorandum, Acting General Counsel Solomon concluded that when employees are posting personal opinions on the Internet, they should add a disclaimer stating something to the effect of “the postings on this site are my own and do not necessarily reflect the view of [Employer].” In April, however, in The Kroger Co. of Michigan, an NLRB administrative law judge found that the rule requiring a disclaimer unduly burdened legitimate Section 7 communications.

The state Senate bill on login credentials now goes to the House-Senate conference committee hammering out a final budget agreement. Observers say the provision is unlikely to survive the committee deliberations.

Three charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and a charge of intimidating a witness were not prosecuted after the named victim asserted her Fifth Amendment rights and refused to testify.

William J. Taylor, 48, of 8 Longview Road, Enfield, Connecticut, was released on $2,000 personal surety pending an Aug. 13 hearing after he was arraigned on charges of operating a motor vehicle with a suspended license, possession of a Class A drug and possession of a Class E drug brought by Westfield police.

Richard J. Arnold, 24, of 14 Arnold St., was released on his personal recognizance pending an Aug. 13 hearing after he was arraigned on a charge of possession of a Class A drug brought by Westfield police.

Barnes Continued from Page 1 we got that job done,” Mitchell said. “How it started as a $20.77 million project, and we got it done for $16.7 million. Using some other synergies, using local contractors who won the bid to bring that in under budget.”

Mitchell said that James communicated her budget constraints and the challenges she faces, and that the meeting was important in starting a dialogue on the future regarding the Bay State’s bases.

“This is just the first of several future meetings to help communicate our piece across and to help her with her decision making,” said Mitchell.

“Some were more broad speaking statewide, others were speaking to the base in their district, whether it be the Cape, Hanscom Air Force Base, etc,” he said. “They were very enthusiatic, which is a good thing – some communities don’t want the bases. They spoke of how the base that is in their district is interactive with their community. Westfield is a perfect example of that.”

“It’s private and public investment. The airport is owned by the city, but we have private investment in companies like Rectrix and GulfStream and others, and with the military aspect,” he said. “Other bases communicated that to the Secretary, as well, that, compared to traditional Air Force or National Guard bases that are owned by the Department of Defense, with these partnerships, it’s economical to keep these bases open and provide economic engines with the communities.”

Mitchell said that Neal, the longtime Congressman for western Massachusetts, really sought to emphasize the collaborative nature of the bases and the Commonwealth through the recent bond bill.

“He wanted to make sure that she (Sec. James) understood about the bond bill, and how the state is a partner, and that we want to keep these bases open and viable as a partnership between private, state and Department of Defense investment,” said Mitchell.

Unable to reach the registered owner of the vehicle, Baillargeon remained in sight of the brown 2002 Toyota Camry until the lights of a passing vehicle illuminated a person emerging from the tree line.

Baillargeon observed the car’s parking lights illuminate and he saw a person get into it. When the car started to

Continued from Page 1 leave, the officer revealed himself and stopped the vehicle.

He reports that when he approached the car he immediately saw that the young man was soaking wet and his clothing was liberally decorated with grass, leaves and woodland debris.

Baillargeon also observed a backpack, as wet and bedraggled as the occupant, which had not been in the car when he initially examined it He noted that, although the

undergrowth in the area had been soaked by earlier rains, no rain had fallen recently.

The 17-year-old youth, a senior at the school, told Baillargeon that he had been visiting a friend but was unable to provide his friend’s name or address.

Baillargeon inspected soles of the boots the young man was wearing and reports that they appear to match the footprints found in the cooking oil on the floor of the school.

The juvenile boy, who will celebrate is 18th birthday in June and thus became an adult, was taken into custody.

The car was towed to a police impound yard but a pre-tow inventory revealed that the backpack contained gloves, rope and a ski mask.

The boy was arrested for being delinquent by reason of breaking and entering a building in the nighttime with intent to commit a felony and for vandalizing property.

He is expected to be arraigned in Holyoke Juvenile Court.

20-0! Perfect!

By Chris Putz Staff Writer AGAWAM – It might not have been the perfect game, but for the Westfield High School softball team it sure was a perfect season.

Westfield pitcher Sarah McNerney delivered a complete game, and the Bombers received timely hitting in a 9-5 win over host Agawam to finish the regular season a stellar 20-0.

Analise Eak (single, run, 2 RBIs), Jules Sharon (single, run, RBI), Jess Pratt (single, run, RBI), Maddy Atkocaitis (single, run, RBI), Victoria Camp (single, run, RBI), Kaitlyn Puza (1-for-2, two walks), Lexi Minicucci (sac-bunt, run scored), Rachel Swords (walk, run), and Karly Mastello (run) were all instrumental at the plate, helping to orchestrate the victory.

“We finished the season. Now we just wait to see what happens Tuesday,” Westfield head softball coach Joe Stella said.

SOFTBALL

Gators hit away Easthampton 22, Gateway 17 EASTHAMPTON – Jessie Walton, Jordan Cooper, Chelsea Edinger, Alyssa Moreau, and Gabby Dame each finished with multiple hit efforts for Gateway.

Gators’ senior finished her final at-bat,

reaching on a two-strike bunt single.

“The girls fought hard and stuck it out until the end,” Gateway coach Gary St. Peter said. “It was a nice way – without the win – to finish the season on a positive note.”

BASEBALL

Bombers rally, eliminate EL Westfield 6, East Longmeadow 2 EAST LONGMEADOW – Jake Toomey delivered the go-ahead hit in the sixth to tie the game at 2-2, and knocked in the eventual game-winning run in the top of the eighth inning in the team’s extra inning victory.

Toomey plated Chris Sullivan (3-4, 3 runs scored) both times.

“We made the most of nothing in the eighth,” Westfield coach Rich Discenza said. “The kids caught fire.”

Westfield eliminated East Longmeadow (9-11) from postseason contention, and finished its regular season with a record of 15-5.

The Bombers now await seeding for the state’s new “Super Eight” tournament (announced Monday). The entire Western Mass field will be revealed Tuesday.

BOYS’ TENNIS

12-0, and loving it!

Westfield 3, Greenfield 2 WESTFIELD – Westfield’s Chris Unger (6-2, 6-0) and Jacob Barbieri (6-3, 6-2) won at first and second singles, respectively, and second doubles pair, Alec Best and Casey Mackenzie (6-1, 6-2) won to hand Greenfield (14-2) only its second loss of the season.

More importantly, the Bombers remained unbeaten at 12-0.

Westfield closes out its regular season Saturday morning against St. Mary.

“We are hopeful to continue as we have been,” Westfield coach John Morizio said.

In other results, the Southwick JV softball team routed Smith Academy, 27-3, Thursday.

PVIAC:WHS storms championships

By Chris Putz Staff Writer HOLYOKE – If nothing else, the Pioneer Valley Interscholastic Athletic Conference track and field championships were electric.

Thunderstorms rolled through the Holyoke area just a few short hours into the individual championship meet Friday at Holyoke High School’s Roberts Field Sports Complex, postponing all events until further notice. There was no word as to whether the championships would be continued at a later date.

“We were doing really good when the rain hit,” Westfield girls’ track and field coach Linda Rowbotham said.

Prior to the postponement, Westfield senior Ali Morin had won the 2-mile, Keri Paton finished second in the javelin (a personal best of 118 feet) and was third in the shot put (with a throw of 33-feet-plus), and Jenna Rothermel had claimed third in the discus.

Westfield boys’ track star, Ben Doiron knocked nine seconds off his best time ever in the two-mile to finish runner-up.

Westfield girls’ track athletes, Emily Ann Andrews and Morgan Sanders qualified for the final heat of hurdles, but the event was never completed. Ann Andrews was second in long jump.

All results are unofficial.

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

HOT TOPICS: 3 ISSUES GENERATING A BUZZ

SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves

AP/PATRICK SEMANSKY

Kurt Busch with a grip on positive PR? Now THAT’S a workout.

Is this just a publicity stunt for Kurt Busch?

AP/TERRY RENNA

Jamie broke out the champagne goggles.

In modern auto racing, more than any other big-league sporting activity, a competitor’s eventual success is almost solely tied to his ability to attract publicity, which brings sponsorship dollars, which bring horsepower. So, in that respect, EVERYTHING a driver does is, in some ways, a publicity stunt. But unlike your run-of-the-mill PR moves (visiting a school, delivering tickets to fans, etc.), at least this one has a big-time competition angle.

Any chance the All-Star win propels Jamie McMurray to further success?

GODSPEAK: Absolutely.

There’s no place to go but up for “Big Mac.” KEN’S CALL: Not sure how much it helps to win an exhibition race, but I know this: It can’t hurt.

Tony Stewart is now on Twitter. Will it end well?

So you’re fine with it?

GODSPEAK: I thought his handlers banned him from social media?

I bet his team hired a lawyer to approve outgoing tweets.

KEN’S CALL: I’m sure he has some built-in firewalls between his stubby fingers and the outside world.

AP/TERRY RENNA

Many were happy to see Jamie win. By the way, Jamie was also happy.

Absolutely. In fact, it’d be great if the Charlotte/Indy schedules could be arranged in a way to invite more doubles in the future. It’d be great for both sanctioning bodies and, by the way, great for the fans everyone claims to adore. As for Kurt, anyone willing to strap into one of those open-air rockets and make a hard left at 220-plus mph, a split-second before reaching the wall, should have all of our respect. The willingness and ability to do that is one reason we should always temper any criticisms of Danica Patrick.

Yes, at Charlotte. Not at the Brickyard. There’s really no way the greenest of IndyCar rookies could outrun all of the seasoned open-wheel guys for 200 laps at Indianapolis. A top-12 would be a great achievement.

McMillion

Jamie McMurray won Saturday’s Sprint All-Star Race by not driving like Jamie McMurray. You see, McMurray is a good-guy race driver down to the bone and does not have an aggressive driving style.

That changed Saturday at the start of the final 10lap shootout at Charlotte Motor Speedway. McMurray’s No. 1 Chevrolet was lined up to the outside of Carl Edwards’ pole-sitting No. 99 Ford.

Edwards got to the Cup Series through his aggressive driving, and most everybody thought he would battle Kevin Harvick for victory. But McMurray was up for this asphalt fight and went toe-to-toe with Edwards for two laps before busting loose on the field.

The McMurray transformation happened when the green flag was waved to decide the race. It was like watching Dr. Bruce Banner turn into the Hulk.

“Carl got a little jump on me on the restart, and I was able to hang on to his quarter panel,” McMurray said. “And I was like, ‘To heck with it, it’s for a million bucks. If we wreck, it’s not that big of a deal.’”

How well-liked is McMurray in the garage area?

His victory was universally cheered by competitors, who don’t generally praise any driver who beats them out of a $1 million jackpot.

“I’m happy for Jamie,” Dale Earnhardt Jr. said after finishing fourth. “It’s a pretty cool deal for him.”

Matt Kenseth finished third in his No. 20 Toyota and chimed in on the McMurray parade.

“Really happy for Jamie,” he said. “If we can’t win, it’s always nice to see good guys win.”

Even Edwards, who lost that $1 million drag race, had kind words for his former Roush Fenway Racing teammate.

“Jamie just did a perfect job,” Edwards said. “My hat is off to him. He did a great job. He earned it.”

FEUD OF THE WEEK

ALL THE WISE(R) Danica Patrick was supposed to be a lock, but Josh Wise pulled the election upset of the year by getting into the All-Star race by fan voting. “I’m still trying to wrap my head around it,” he said. “This is huge for me and our team. Really it started with a 16-year-old kid posting something on Reddit.com about some good runs that we had had, and for whatever reason this huge, awesome community just got behind us.”

DOUBLE DUTY Kurt Busch had double duty last weekend, competing in the All-Star race and qualifying a car for the Indianapolis 500. He’ll be spending the week shuttling back and forth from Charlotte to Indy.

“The open cockpit is a whole different experience,” Busch said. “The biggest surprise has just been the warm welcome in the open-wheel paddock.” Busch said he expects that honeymoon will be over after Sunday’s Indy 500.

KURT BUSCH

Kyle Busch vs. Kurt Busch: Kyle’s No. 18 Toyota came up fast on Kurt’s No. 41 Chevy at Charlotte. Kyle tried to clear Kurt, but got hit by Clint Bowyer.

CHARLOTTE REWIND

Clint Bowyer addresses black clouds and silver linings Clint Bowyer added a win (of sorts) to his career total Saturday night by capturing the Sprint Showdown, a qualifying race for the Sprint All-Star Race.

Bowyer and second-place AJ Allmendinger gained entry to the All-Star field for their showing in the 40-lap showdown. A win is a win, and for Bowyer it was the silver lining in a season full of black clouds. He talked about it with the media.

You said that you made some changes to your approach and how you did some things on the mile-and-a-half tracks, and it certainly paid off for you.

“For us, you know, our car, it’s just been a crummy year. It’s

been one of those years — it’s been so confusing.

“We’ve been really fast in practice, and for whatever reason not able to back it up in the race. Last weekend (at Kansas) was just crazy frustrating again for us, and I was at the shop a lot this week, had a lot of meetings and just kind of a different thought process to change our approach for the race weekend.

“Finally … we had a good strong practice session, and then the car backed up what we felt in practice, and it was good, kept turning all race long.”

As a guy who has won eight times in the series and was a runner-up in points a couple years ago, to not make an All-Star

Race, how big of a blow would that have been to you?

“I wasn’t very thrilled about being in this race, but nonetheless, like you said, that’s what we deserved.

“We haven’t run well, haven’t run where we’re capable of running, and it’s been frustrating. But like I said, it’s a humbling sport.

It always has been. I’m a big boy.”

“If this is where we are, we’ve got to go out there and race hard … and become an all-star.”

Footnote: Bowyer went on to finish seventh in Saturday night’s Sprint All-Star Race.

Annie’s Mailbox

By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

What is your take on this?

Dear Annie: For the past 30 years, my wife and I have enjoyed a friendship with another couple who are childless.

They had no family nearby, so they were fixtures at our table for all of the major holidays. We genuinely liked their company.

We vacationed together on several occasions, and we came to treat them like family.

We hadn’t heard from them in a while, so I decided to phone.

Imagine my shock when they casually mentioned that they had left Seattle and moved to Florida without a word of goodbye.

Their coolness on the phone made it clear that they no longer have any interest in being in our lives.

I am deeply hurt by their behavior and am at a loss to understand what on Earth we could have done to deserve this callous treatment. I will not attempt to rekindle this relationship, but I still find it distressing and unfathomable. What is your take on this? -- Upset in Seattle Dear Seattle: We agree that this behavior is both surprising and unkind, but consider yourself well rid of a couple who obviously did not value the friendship as much as you did.

Moving away without informing you means you are not very high up on the list of people they care about. Sorry.

Dear Annie: I hope this may be of some help to senior citizens.

My brother’s wife died last year, and he has been lost ever since. He started calling me to ask what the date is. I came up with the idea of giving him an extra cellphone and charger that I didn’t need. I showed him how to plug it in to charge every Sunday night.

Now when he can’t remember the date, all he has to do is open the phone. It also helps in case of emergency, because the phone allows him to call 911. He can’t make any other calls on it, but he feels much more secure, and the phone does not need to be activated. -- Cadyville Dear Cadyville: Some readers may ask how this is different from a calendar and a landline, but we think it’s a great idea because your brother can take the phone with him wherever he goes. (When calling 911 from a deactivated phone, however, the operator will not be able to determine your location without your giving it.)

Dear Annie: I would like to commend “Newbury Park, Calif.,” on his success in turning his life around by taking responsibility for his health and making the necessary changes for his weight loss.

Having been an operating room nurse since 1979, I have seen the results of our obesity epidemic. The health problems caused by obesity and smoking are debilitating to the person and extremely sad to see. Kidney disease, vascular insufficiency and cardiac disease are serious health problems that lead to myriad treatments with varying degrees of success.

The best thing a person can do for themselves is exactly what Newbury Park and his wife did, which is take responsibility for their own health. I can only imagine how difficult it was for them to lose so much weight and change their eating and exercise habits, but the results speak for themselves.

If more people were willing to take charge of their own health and help reverse the large amount of money spent dealing with these preventable diseases, we might help bridge the regrettable divide in our country caused in part by the issue of health care. -- RN, CNOR, CRNFA Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.

HINTS FROM HELOISE TRAVEL HINT Dear Heloise: Here’s my travel hint to research a destination while planning your trip. Preplanning a general outline of what you want to do is very helpful. But leave room in your schedule to try things you come across while out. Ask around, too. Locals often know the best offthe-beaten-path places to visit. -Kathy in Florida PARKING PROBLEMS Dear Readers: Here are a couple of reader responses to the hint about leaving your windshield wipers up to help you find your car in a parking lot: * Dona L. wrote: “I try to park facing away from the store.

Cuts the rows to search in half.” * Sarena B. wrote: “Here is what I do: I park next to a cartreturn area. There are a limited number of them to search if you really lose your car, and returning the cart is simple.”

Thanks for the great ideas! Keep those letters coming! -Heloise

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, May 24, 2014: This year you have a way about you that attracts people. You share many ideas, and you have a great sense of humor that others enjoy. If you are single, stop and look around more often.

You might see someone you would like to be more involved with. By your next birthday, you likely won’t be flying solo.

If you are attached, the two of you chat and laugh a lot together. You become quite the item, as you often are found together enjoying life. You might enjoy having company, but you don’t need anyone else’s presence to have a good time. ARIES is a great, trustworthy friend.

ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH Passions will run high, and many people could become quite controlling as a result. Plans are likely to change, and it might involve throwing a fun party at your home. As soon as you have more free time, opt to be more spontaneous. Tonight: Only what makes you happy.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You might not feel up to snuff, or perhaps you just want to stay close to home. You’ll share much more of what is going on with a close loved one. At the same time, you’ll attempt to help this person move out of his or her funk.

Tonight: Do whatever feels good.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Touch base with friends, but know that you will be inviting an element of disruption into your life. For example, you never seem to know what to expect with one key friend. Finish up a home project before you decide to hook up with others. Tonight: Where the action is.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Avoid a controlling friend if you want to free up some extra time. A call could come in that encourages you to get more tied into a project. Make it OK to say “no” if you need or want to.

You are the only one who can take proper care of yourself. Tonight: A must appearance.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might want to rethink a decision that heads in your direction.

You seem to be encountering more than your share of angry people, and you could join the ranks just by dealing with them! Your instincts will take off as pressure starts to build. Tonight: Opt for different.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Be careful with your finances. You might be a big spender, and a friend could have strong feelings about how you handle your money. Avoid an angry discussion. Realize that you have other assets, like your precision and efficiency. Tonight: Let someone else treat.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH It appears as if you could be angered easily. Take some time for yourself. Try to root out what is happening. A discussion with a caring friend might be helpful. Have a conversation with those who understand you. Tonight: Only accept an invitation if you really want to participate.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Not everything you do has to be work. You can take a break and pop over to a friend’s house for a Memorial Day get-together. You need a break, and you will enjoy taking one. Make it OK not to leave the party early. Tonight: Get into the fireworks.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH A friend could be unduly pushy or angry. You might wonder what needs to happen in order to have this person relax. You could discover that he or she is quite upset, but probably not with you. A talk likely would help.

Tonight: Add some spice to the moment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Honor what is happening with a loved one. As involved as you are in this person’s life, make a point of dropping by to say “hi.” Visiting with others energizes you and helps remind you of why you are in the present situation. Tonight: Head home, but only when you are ready!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Keep asking important questions, and realize that others might not be able to access the answers easily.

Give your friends some space to figure

Crosswords

out what to do. Make calls, and invite others over for a fun gettogether this Memorial Day weekend. Tonight: Go with the moment.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You might want to be a little less frivolous with your spending. You have a tendency to overindulge. Resist that inclination, or else you might not like the results. Let others pick up some of the costs involved with a friendly get-together.

Tonight: Go with a loved one’s choices.

Flea market knock-off bust totals $30 million LAWRENCE, Mass. (AP) — The Department of Homeland Security says a recent flea market raid in Lawrence brought in more than $30 million worth of knock-off purses,

clothing and pirated DVDs and CDs. Authorities said Thursday about three tractor trailers worth of items were seized on May 10 after an

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.
