Burglary cases conclude By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A city man who made the mistake of befriending a heroin addict and burglar appeared in Westfield District Court Wednesday for adjudication of nine criminal cases resulting from his association with the man. Alfred W. Jasmin, 68, of 189 Springfield Road, was allowed to submit to facts sufficient to warrant guilty findings for six charges of larceny of property valued more than $250, five charges of breaking and entering a building in the daytime with intent to commit a felony, five charges of breaking and entering a building in the nighttime with intent to commit a felony, two charges of attempting to commit a crime and a single charge of larceny of property valued more than $250. The charges were brought by Westfield detectives as nine cases at the conclusion of an investigation into more than a dozen burglaries which were conducted by another man, Jasmin’s friend, Christopher D. Moll, 46, whose last known address (before he began sleeping on the couch in Jasmin’s trailer) was 2063 Memorial Drive, Chicopee. According to city Det. Sgt. Stephen K. Dickinson who led the investigation into the housebreaks in the winter of 2012-2013, Jasmin was charged for the other man’s crimes under the “acting in concert” concept because he knowingly had driven Moll (who, as a heroin addict, could not support a car) to the neighborhoods where he broke into houses. He later picked up Moll and then drove him to Holyoke, first to a bodega where Moll fenced his swag and then to a drug dealer were the proceeds of the burglaries were converted to heroin. Dickinson said at the time of the investigation that Jasmin was “remorseful” and very helpful with the investigation, confessing to his part and showing officers where he had dropped off Moll and later picked him up. In return, he was not arrested like Moll but had been allowed to remain at liberty until he was summoned to court to answer the same charges Moll had been charged with. Ironically, when Moll’s case was heard in Hampden Superior Court before Judge C. Jeffrey Kinder the judge ruled that an investigation into Moll’s cellphone at the time of his arrest had been improper and rejected the evidence against Moll which flowed from the phone’s contents. As a result, the charges resulting from ten of the housebreaks Moll had been arraigned for were dismissed. Moll, who had been caught in January, 2013, in the act of breaking into a house on Devon Terrace, pleaded guilty to the two break-ins remaining and was sentenced to an 18-month term in prison to be followed by two years on probation. In court Wednesday, Judge Philip A. Contant, allowed Jasmin to submit to the facts of the nine cases and in each case placed him on probation for six months. Jasmin was also assessed, in each case, $90.

Vandals violate Voke By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Westfield police are looking into vandalism at Joe Jachym Field after a city councilor brought graffiti on the grass – including symbols which appear to be racist, vulgar and topical – to their attention. Ward 3 Councilor Brain Hoose reports that while walking his dog Thursday he noticed patterns of brown grass on the hillside adjacent to the baseball diamond at the Westfield Vocational-
Technical High school playing fields. Investigation revealed that a caustic fluid had apparently been applied to the hillside to kill the grass to make words and symbols appear as brown graffiti on the green turf. The damage does not appear to be recent as the lawn appears to have been mowed since the grass was blighted and seeds and other small debris appear to be have settled atop of the chemically burned grass.
Most legible of the markings is a patch which appears to read “Seniors 2K14.” Some of the markings are indecipherable but a swastika is obvious as is a phallic representation. A less obvious symbol may be a smiley face but others which may be words are not legible. Police responded to Hoose’s complaint and an officer was detailed to investigate the vandalism.

By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Susan Phillips is a busy lady these days. Westfield’s City Solicitor manages a small roster of lawyers who handle the daily legal wranglings between the city and the rest of the world. “We have over 300 open files, and they range anything from litigation to agency issues, departmental issues and files,” said Phillips, adding that several litigation matters are currently in federal court. “One of them, there was a fight between two students, and the parents of one of the students have sued the other student plus the city of Westfield for failure to supervise and all sorts of other things.” Phillips stated that cases of that nature tend to take up a lot of the Law Department’s time, but not all at once. “They kind of sit for periods of time. We’ve got cases in superior court,” she said before mentioning attorneys Brian Pearly and Bill O’Grady, who handles litigation part-time. “(These cases) range from people who’ve made a claim that we haven’t paid, so they sue us, sewer backups, that sort of thing. Employee claims or any other issues, they generally end up in superior court.” Housing court also provides Phillips’ staff with lots of work. “Shanna Reed just finished a short time ago a receivership on a property that was in disrepair, and thats basically when you ask the court to appoint somebody to manage the property, fix it up and bring it up to code,” explained Phillips. “The property is in the process of being sold, so we have a lot of stuff that we do.” Phillips added that the Law Department handles appellate tax board work as well. “If you dispute the amount of taxes you should be paying on your property, you go before the local assessors, and if they don’t give you the relief you want, you can go to the appellate tax board,” she said. “They have hearings scheduled out here, See Defending, Page 3
By MARK AUERBACH Correspondent HARTFORD – Hartford Stage ends its celebratory 50th season with last (Broadway) season’s well-deserved Tony Award winner for “Best Play”, Christopher Durang’s very, very, very funny “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike”. A wise and witty play, full-tilt staging, six incrediby comedic performances, and hypnotic sets and lights add up to one of the most satisfying and funny evenings of theatre I’ve enjoyed in a very long time. . . . It’s great to see Durang in the winner’s circle again. The Yale Drama School grad made his mark in New York shortly after graduation with zany plays such as “Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You”, “Beyond Therapy”, “A History of the American Film” and more.

Southwick resident working to save the fireworks By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – After reading about the Park and Recreation Commission’s fireworks concerns in The Westfield News earlier this week, resident Cory Flagg decided he needed to help keep the tradition alive. “This was never a problem when I was a kid and I want the kids of Southwick today to have fireworks and carnivals,” said Flagg, the father of a three year-old. Parks and Rec. Chairman Kelly Magni said this week that the fireworks budget was slashed to just $1,800. Normally, he said, the budget is not too much higher but he and his family were able to make up the shortfall by parking cars at the property that is now Whalley Park during the annual Fireman’s Carnival. This year, the
carnival is not likely to take place because of construction at the school campus where the carnival is held. The town fireworks display has coincided with the carnival in the past. “I saw that article and I got on Facebook and started talking to people,” said Flagg. “Everyone was upset. I have a three year-old and I can’t imagine going without fireworks, so I decided to get everyone together.” One of the people Flagg spoke to via Facebook was Southwick Police Officer Thomas Krutka. “We talked about fundraising ideas and I decided to get involved,” Krutka said. He brought the idea to the Southwick Police Association and the members agreed it was a worthy cause and quickly donated $500 toward
the fireworks. Now, they hope others will follow suit. “I’m hoping to challenge local businesses to donate, as well,” said Krutka. Flagg and his family have organized a community car wash to benefit the fireworks fund. The wash is set for Saturday, June 7 from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. in the Village Pizza parking lot. “We want it to be a kid-friendly, fun wash,” said Flagg. “We’ll wash cars, trucks, motorcycles – whatever you have! And if you don’t have anything to wash, you can come down and make a donation.” Flagg said this is his first time organizing a fundraising effort, but he was compelled to do it to keep the tradition of Southwick fireworks intact. “I really want the kids in town to enjoy it,” he
said. Magni’s concern, in addition to funds, was location. Normally, the fireworks are set off on school property, which cannot happen this year. Magni said he was hopeful they could be held at Whalley Park, but with a punch list of items left to complete before the park can open, he couldn’t be sure to set a date at this time. Flagg said he is working with his employer to secure a location on Sheep Pasture Road as an alternative. Born and raised here, Flagg is committed to ensuring a fun future for Southwick’s youngest residents. “There isn’t much to do for kids so I don’t want to take away the carnival and fireworks,” said Flagg, who also hopes to work out a way to keep the carnival.

‘The Weed Fairy’ visits Seattle, gives out pot By MANUEL VALDES Associated Press SEATTLE (AP) — A woman who calls herself the “Weed Fairy” distributed free nuggets of marijuana to people in Seattle over Memorial Day weekend, taping the free pot on fliers around a city neighborhood. The woman, 23-year-old Yeni Sleidi, says she does it to amuse people and to give them a break from everyday stress. She said 50 fliers had nuggets taped to them. “People mostly laughed,” Sleidi said Wednesday. The woman said she first came up with the idea in New York, where she lived during the government shutdown, because several of her friends were affected by it. She wanted to distract them from the stress. Her passing out the pot in the Big Apple drew plenty of coverage from the media. “I’m not sure what the thought process was but I thought people would be amused by it,” she said. The fliers posted in Seattle came with the message: “These are tough times. Take this weed. And keep your spirits high.” Sleidi posted her free marijuana in Capitol Hill, one of Seattle’s most urban neighborhoods,

Sleidi said it was the first time she felt comfortable with attaching her name to her deeds. “I felt so relaxed about it ... I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing it elsewhere in the country,” she said. A call to the Seattle Police Department to ask about the pot distribution effort was not immediately returned. ——— The Weed Fairy: twitter.com/danksyappleweed

Continued from Page 1 but sometimes we have to go to Boston.” Land court cases handled by the Law Department are handled in Boston only, which means that sometimes lawyers from Phillips’ office must travel to Suffolk County for hearings, which can sometimes take only 10 minutes. “If somebody has a dispute… We have one on the north side where someone wants to put a subdivision and they say they’ve got frontage, but we’re telling them you really don’t, it’s not a road,” she said, adding that they are dealing with a couple of cases of this nature. “They can go to superior or land court. If they go to land court, it means we’ve got to take the trip to Boston.” The Law Department is also handling over 60 active tax foreclosure cases that’re also only heard in the land court in Boston, which Phillips handles personally. There are also several pending civil service cases which Phillips said the Law Department is handling. “Those are generally police and fire, but some other departments – if somebody doesn’t get promoted or if someone has a grievance about their work, they can bring it to the civil service commission, which generally meets in Springfield,” she said. “We do all the ABCC (Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission) appeals. We’re waiting for a decision we had months ago on Tommy D’s. we’re waiting for the agency to get back to us.” Phillips’ Department also goes before the Division of Labor Relations often, most notably during last year’s contractual dispute between the city and it’s teachers, as well as the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination. She said that during her tenure as chief solicitor, her office has tried to spend more time on what she refers to as “pending files.” “So a department head comes to us with an issue and they want us to be involved in it,” she said, citing Barnes Regional Airport as a frequent flier with the Law Department. “They have a lot of leases. We’re finding that they were kind of a hodgepodge over the years, and we’re trying to create a master lease template.” Phillips stated that the Law Department deals with the airport’s leases, contracts, and even evictions. “This past year we did the eviction of the former tenant of the restaurant,” she said. “We did the lease with Whip
Increased military aircraft activity WESTFIELD — Expect increased aircraft activity departing from Barnes Air National Guard Base Saturday through Tuesday. Increased military aircraft activity is scheduled over the city of Westfield, Sat., May 31, through Tues., June 3, 2014, in support of a training mission. Training missions are required to maintain the unit’s ability to be ready to respond to any contingencies. The Wing does not want to alarm the residents around the local area who may be startled by events that are in addition to our normal flying activities, and every effort will be made to keep the disturbance to a minimum. The 104th Fighter Wing is equipped with the F-15 Eagle. One mission of the 104th is Aerospace Control Alert (ACA), providing armed fighters ready to scramble in a moment’s notice to protect the Northeast from any airborne threat. The unit is responsible for protecting a quarter of the nation’s population and one third of the Gross Domestic Product.
City Aviation, the year before we did GulfStream.” While various city departments rely on the the Law Department as their house counsel, they also handle small claims, including a familiar scourge that ravaged the Whip City this winter: potholes. “Chapter 84 says you can sue a city or town for a defect in a public way for up to $5,000, but it’s very stringent on the notice requirements and other elements,” she said, adding that this year the city dealt with dozens of such cases. “All in all, probably 50 to 75 and it could be upward of that. People fill out a form through the Mayor’s Office or online, and then we do an analysis first to see if they’ve complied with the statute, because it’s very strict. If you don’t send notice to us within 30 days with specificity, we’re going to send you a denial letter.” When asked just how much the city has shelled out in pothole claims this year, Phillips guessed around $10,000. “The last schedule of bills I did was probably about $1,600, but there’ve been more,” she said. “($10,000) is a lot when you figure the aver-
age claim is not that much, but we had some multiple failures this year.” “The standard is, if a pothole develops and we don’t know about it, we’re not responsible for it,” Phillips explained. “But once we have notice of it, we’re responsible. So part of our analysis is to find out if someone reported it and if DPW knew about it and didn’t fill it.” Among the most controversial cases the Law Department has dealt with over the past year was a case which pitted Westfield Mayor Daniel M. Knapik against David A. Flaherty, Jane Wensley and property owner David Costa. In April, U.S. District Court Judge Michael A. Ponsor ruled that Knapik violated the rights of the plaintiffs and issued his amended order of judgment stating that Knapik’s ordering the removal of political lawn signs on November 7, 2011 constituted content-based, but not intentional, discrimination in violation of the rights of the Plaintiffs. “I’ve been doing this for 30 years, and it was the first time in my experience where you had a sitting city councilor suing a city mayor, so it put

our department clearly in a conflict position,” Phillips said. “We took the role of representing our larger client, the city of Westfield.” “We have an ordinance regarding indemnification, so we took a look at that and determined that the ordinance anticipated this, and said we would hire outside counsel, so we hired Attorney Pakula to represent the mayor. Then we pretty much just sat back.” Phillips said her only involvement in the case was observing and making recommendations to Pakula on how to minimize the financial impact on the city. “As far as I’m concerned, it’s done. It was painful but my decision to indemnify was based on what we need to do,” she said. “Unless the City Council is willing to change that ordinance and not indemnify anyone, including themselves… it is what it is.” “Police and fire and most employees have indemnification provisions in their contracts. I have one. Every union has one,” she said. “The ordinance affects elected officials and grants them the same protections that every other employee has.”

COMMENT
Good Morning PulseLine! I would like to echo the comments made on May 29 regarding the Run Westfield 5k and block party. It was yet another great day for Westfield! Even Mother Nature was sending positive vibes our way - by all reports the day should have had showers, 70 percent chance. Yet, the sun was shining and the day went off without a hitch. Great job by race and party organizers and thank you!! Hi! My hat is off to the person that called in about naming a building after, well, I won’t call him mayor, because he doesn’t qualify anymore as mayor, that Knapik guy. He’s right on the money. Keep up the good work, you people that call in. We got to get rid of this guy. Talking about shopping carts. They’re blaming the stores for bringing them off the premises. Well, that is not true. It is not the stores’ fault. It is the people who take the shopping carts off the premises, like the homeless, and they complain that it should be the store’s fault. But really it is not the store’s fault. You know, people that own properties, where these people are bringing these shopping carts, should be fined for it. Hi! If you want to get some compost for your garden, if you haven’t done your garden yet, I still have plenty of it up here at 1150 East Mountain Road in Westfield. You can call me if you like: 568-9835. Thank you. Thank you for putting sunrise and sunset times on page 2. I copy them into a diary and find it interesting to watch daylight time grow three or four minutes a day. Thank you.

Republicans blast Clinton’s Benghazi account By Katie Glueck Politico.com Conservative writers and Republican groups wasted no time Friday skewering Hillary Clinton’s latest account of the deadly 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Clinton, a leading possible Democratic presidential contender, offers her perspective on the attacks and their aftermath in her upcoming book, “Hard Choices.” POLITICO obtained an early look at the chapter on Benghazi, an issue conservatives have used to try to bludgeon the former secretary of state. On Twitter and in blog posts, conservatives blasted her take on the incident as “cherry-picked,” “illogical” and, according to an adviser to Sen. Ted Cruz, “weak and arrogant.” The Weekly Standard’s Stephen F. Hayes ran through a number of contentions put forth by Clinton in a piece headlined, “Hillary’s Failed Benghazi Spin,” offering a point-by-point take-down. He wrote that Clinton’s assertion that “Every step of the way, whenever something new was learned, it was quickly shared with Congress and the American people” is “just false. It’s spectacularly, flamboyantly untrue. There are literally dozens of examples that disprove her claim. There is no chance that Clinton actually believes it. Nobody else does.” National Review’s Jim Geraghty referred to an incident from the 2008 election in which Clinton walked back a description of landing in Bosnia under sniper fire in the 1990s. “Hillary’s assessment of the events in Benghazi that night was undoubtedly shaped by the PTSD she had from escaping snipers in Tuzla, Bosnia,” Geraghty tweeted. In a blog post, he explained that the message was designed “to remind people that Hillary Clinton is willing to lie, quite dramatically, boldly, and shamelessly, even in ways that can be easily checked and refuted, when her political aspirations are at stake.” The Republican National Committee also delved into Clinton’s past, listing a series of decisions she made at the State Department and in politics, and concluding that “the more Americans learn about “hard choices” like these, the less likely they will be to choose Clinton in any future election.” Multiple probes have since tried to determine what prompted militants to attack the mission and whether the tragedy could have been prevented. The latest, involving a select committee in Congress, is being spearheaded by Republicans but also includes Democrats — in keeping with the wishes of Clinton See Clinton, Page 7

Obama accepts Shinseki’s resignation By Edward-Isaac Dovere Politico.com President Barack Obama said Friday that he had reluctantly accepted the resignation of Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki, giving in to growing calls from lawmakers and veterans’ advocates that he step down in the wake of widespread reports that VA hospitals falsified waiting lists. “I want to reiterate: he is a very good man,” Obama said of Shinseki. However, the president said the decorated retired Army general concluded “he could not carry out the next stages of reform without being a distraction…I regret that he has to resign under these circumstances.” The secretary had set in motion several firings and disciplinary actions, the president said, and more changes were coming — significant ones. “There is a need for a change in culture … that makes sure bad news surfaces quickly so things can be fixed,” he said. Shinseki “is deeply disappointed in the fact that bad news did not get to him and that the structures weren’t in place for him to identify this problem quickly and fix it,” the president said. “His priority now is to make sure that happens, and he felt like new leadership would be — would serve our veterans best, and I agree with him.” Obama said Deputy VA Secretary Sloan Gibson, who’s only been in that job for three months, will step in temporarily as VA secretary while the administration looks for a permanent head for the department. In that post, “I want someone who is spending every minute of every day figuring out, have we called every veteran that’s waiting?” the president said. Obama also he recognizes that, regardless of personnel moves, he is ultimately responsible for the failures at the VA. “This is my administration; I always take responsibility for whatever happens,” he said, adding that he’s been deeply concerned about veterans’ issues since serving on the Veterans Affairs committee in the Senate. House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), who had notably shied away from calling for Shinseki’s ouster, told reporters Friday afternoon that the move should not take pressure off of Obama to resolve the VA’s problems. “Gen. Shinseki has designated his life to his country, and we thank him for his service,” Boehner said at a brief press conference Friday afternoon. “His resignation, though, does not absolve the president of his responsibility to step in and make things right for our veterans. Business as usual cannot continue…Today’s announcement really changes nothing. One personnel change cannot be used as an excuse to paper over a systemic problem.” Other key lawmakers said they welcomed Shinseki’s departure, but had no warning of it before the president spoke. “Leadership matters; calling for Secretary Shinseki’s resignation did not come lightly to me, but accountability starts at the top and the step taken today is just the beginning,” Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Ks.) said. “We now need accountability and true reform within the VA all across the country. For this to occur, we need a fresh perspective and a leader who is willing to shake up the VA’s bureaucratic culture.” House Veteran Affairs Chairman Jeff Miller (R-Fla.) said he’d received no heads up from the administration or Shinseki about the announcement, which Obama delivered at a hastilycalled press conference just after meeting with the VA secretary. ”It is a sad day to see somebody who has such a distinguished record like Secretary Shinseki have to resign. I’ve been telling the secretary for a number of years, his people are not telling him the truth. And I believe he admitted as much today that in his entire career, he’s never been lied to in a way that has happened in this incident,” Miller said. “Oh, did he resign?” House Armed Services Chairman Buck McKeon (R-Calif.) said to reporters seeking reaction to Shinseki’s exit. “You just informed me. I’m feeling kind of like the president, I’m learning everything from the press.” Shinseki becomes the highest-profile member of the Obama administration to be forced out — a major departure for Obama, who has consistently stuck by aides in crisis. The president was asked Friday why he accepted Shinseki’s resignation, but rebuffed former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius when she offered to step down last fall over the disastrous rollout of healthcare.gov. She ultimately announced her resignation last month. Obama did not criticize Shinseki’s management skills, but suggested the problems at the VA were so widespread that a change in leadership made sense. By contrast, the Obamacare website’s issues were more discrete.
”With respect to Secretary Sebelius, at the time I thought it would be a distraction to replace somebody HHS at a time when we were trying to fix that system. And I wanted to just stay focused because I knew that if we bear down on it and we got folks enrolled that it would work,” said the president. “So in each instance, my primary decision is based on how can I deliver service to the American people, and in this case, how can I deliver for our veterans.” But from the beginning, this one was different: a CNN report revealed efforts to conceal the extent of the backlog processing veteran’s health claims at a facility in Phoenix, casting doubt on the success often touted over the past year by Shinseki and the White House about VA efforts cutting the backlog in half. CNN’s report cited up to 40 veterans’ deaths as attributable to not being seen in time at health facilities, with thousands more left waiting for care while VA officials racked up bonuses by appearing to move cut the backlog. Heading into the midterms, the GOP has been trying to use the controversy as the latest reminder of what they say is a dysfunctional, failed Obama administration — which they’re looking to hang on Democratic Senate and House candidates across the country. Obama said Friday that political pressure was one of the factors that led to Shinseki’s exit. “The distractions that Ric refers to in part are political…” he said. “At this stage, what I want is somebody at the VA who’s not spending time outside of solving problems for the veterans. I want somebody spending every minute of every day figuring out, have we called every single veteran that’s waiting?… That’s what I want somebody at the VA focused on, not how are they getting second-guessed and, you know, speculation about their futures and so forth and so on. And that was what Ric agreed to as well.” Filling Shinseki’s spot won’t be easy. Between the depth of the problems and the scrutiny over fixing them, there’s no clear path to success. Obama’s statement came immediately after what the president had earlier described as a “serious conversation” he had planned to have with Shinseki about the secretary’s “capacity” to adequately handle the problems in the department. “I’ll have a serious conversation with him about whether he thinks he’s prepared and has the capacity to take on the job of fixing it, because I don’t want any veteran to not be getting the kind of services they deserve,” the president said during the excerpt of an interview with Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan that was taped on Thursday and aired on Friday. Shinseki on Friday delivered to the president an internal audit on the situation at the VA. Obama had come under increasing pressure to fire Shinseki over the VA scandal. An interim inspector general report released this week detailed “systemic” problems in the department, prompting a flurry of lawmakers on the left and right to call for the secretary’s resignation. The IG review came after reports that said at least 40 veterans died while waiting for health care in the Phoenix VA system. During a speech earlier Friday morning at the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans annual conference in Washington, Shinseki had apologized for what he acknowledged were systemic problems inside the VA health system but gave no sign he would step aside amid calls for his resignation. Shinseki said then that he was removing the leadership of the Phoenix VA center that has been ground zero of the scandal, suspending bonuses for senior leaders and endorsing action by Congress to enhance VA’s ability to fire some workers. “This situation can be fixed,” he said. The secretary also acknowledged that it had been a “challenging” time for the department. “The past few weeks have been challenging for everyone at VA because we take caring for veterans so very seriously,” he said near the beginning of his remarks. “We’ve done tremendous work together these past five years.” Friday afternoon, Shinseki wrote a farewell message to VA staffers, explaining his decision to resign and thanking “the employees and leaders who have placed the interests of Veterans above and beyond their own self-interests.” “This morning, I resigned as secretary of Veterans Affairs,” Shineski wrote. “My personal and professional commitment and my loyalty to Veterans, their families, and our survivors was the driving force behind that decision. That loyalty has never wavered, and it will never wane.” — Jonathan Topaz, Philip Ewing, Jake Sherman, Burgess Everett and Jeremy Herb contributed to this story.

Man charged with impeding marathon bombing probe By DENISE LAVOIE, AP Legal Affairs Writer BOSTON (AP) — A friend of the brothers suspected of bombing the Boston Marathon was accused Friday of obstructing the investigation into the deadly attack by deleting information from his computer and lying to investigators. The friend, Khairullozhon Matanov, 23, of Quincy, was arrested at his apartment. He later appeared in federal court, but entered no plea and was being held until a detention hearing Wednesday. In describing Matanov’s relationship with bombing suspects Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, an indictment unsealed Friday revealed new details about what the brothers did in the hours after they allegedly planted two homemade bombs that killed three people and wounded more than 260. About 40 minutes after the bombs went off, Matanov called Tamerlan Tsarnaev and invited him to dinner, the indictment said, and all three of them dined together at a restaurant that night. Days later, after the Tsarnaevs’ photos were publicly released, Matanov deleted references from his computer to videos and photos of them, a photo of the MIT police officer who authorities say the Tsarnaevs killed days after the attack and files that contained violent content or calls to violence, the indictment alleges. Matanov is not charged with participating in the bombings or knowing about them in advance, U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz said in a statement, but a spokeswoman declined to comment when asked whether additional charges were possible against him. His lawyer, Edward Hayden, called the allegations
unsubstantiated and said his client looked forward to contesting the charges. “He had no intent to mislead the FBI, and from what I can see, what he said and did didn’t impede the investigation,” Hayden said. Matanov and Tamerlan Tsarnaev discussed religion together and hiked up a mountain in New Hampshire in order to praise and emulate the training of the mujahedeen, the indictment said. After the dinner with the Tsarnaevs the night of the bombing, prosecutors said, Matanov told an unnamed witness that he could support the bombings for a “just reason” — for example, if they were done in the name of Islam.

Review Continued from Page 1 Durang combines parody, cynicism, patter, and gags with critical dissection of major issuesincluding child abuse, the Catholic Church’s dogma and culture. A moment of transparancy here: I was a year behind Durang at Yale, and his cabaret sketches had me on the floor laughing throughout my Yale tenure, especially his collaborations with fellow classmate Sigourney Weaver (who played Masha on Broadway). “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike” shows the more mature Durang. Inspired by Chekhov, Durang has named his characters and painted their predicaments with hints of the Russian playwright’s themes. The laughs, wit and wisdom are definintely 21st century Bucks County, PA. Without spoilers, Vanya and Sonia are middle-aged siblings, who live modestly in their parents’ country house. Their lives were consumed by caring for their elderly, now dead parents, and they had little lives of their own. Enter Masha, their successful overthe-top movie star sibling, with her much younger boytoy, Spike, in tow. Masha says she’s in town for a costume party, but she’s really in town for other reasons. Cassandra, a housekeeper turned soothsayer, and Nina, the girl-nextdoor, complicate an angst-ridden sibling reunion. Durang has provided a group of familiar characters with one one-liner after another, and director Maxwell Williams makes great use of the acting sextet’s comic abilities, Jeff Cowie’s fabulous country house set with its alluring background of woodlands and summer sky. John Lasiter’s lighting is great, John Gromada’s music quickly sets mood, and Tricia Barsamian’s costumes are winners. Leslie Hendrix (you’ll know her from her long-run on TV’s “Law & Order”) is perfect as the self-absorbed, over-the-top Masha. David Gregory, reallife soap star and hunk, gives Spike, an equally self-absorbed character, perfect poses and poseur. Mark Nelson is compelling as the brooding Vanya, and his second act monologue is tour-de-force. Caryn West maneuvers a character’s mood change from the dour Sonia into (I’m not going to tell) brilliantly. Andrea Lynn Greene is

David Gregory and Leslie Hendrix star in “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike” at Hartford Stage. (Photo by T. Charles Erickson) a delicate, childlike Nina. Stacey Sargeant is hilarious as the superstitious housekeeper Cassandra. I missed some of her wittiest lines from laughing so hard at the previous ones. It’s challenging to make good comedy really funny without superb actors, wellstaged comic timing from a knowing director, and good production elements that support the onstage action. Hartford Stage’s “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike” succeeds on every level. In my book, “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike”
is a total winner. “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike” plays Hartford Stage through June 15. For those who can’t get to Hartford, a different production of “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike” plays Shakespeare and Company in Lenox from August 6-September 14.

design by John Lasiter. Music and sound design by John Gromada. Cast: Andrea Lynn Greene (Nina), David Gregory (Spike), Leslie Hendrix (Masha), Mark Nelson (Vanya), Stacey Sargeant (Cassandra), and Caryn West (Sonia). through June 15. Hartford Stage.

Clinton Continued from Page 4 allies. Politico reported on Clinton’s account of Benghazi as her aides Friday gave a briefing to Democratic-leaning groups about her book’s approach to the Sept. 11, 2012, attack, which killed four Americans, including Amb. Christopher Stevens. Clinton’s written recollection of the events seems at least partly intended to give fellow Democrats a framework to defend her and themselves in 2014, a midterm election year, amid the latest investigation. A number of the previous probes have faulted security lapses. Clinton addresses that issue in the Benghazi chapter, discussing what she was personally made aware of regarding requests for additional resources. She says she was not informed about cables asking for more security at the consulate: “That’s not how it works,” she writes. “It shouldn’t. And it didn’t.” But Ed Morrissey of Hot Air, questioning Clinton’s knowledge about security decisions affecting the consulate, charged: “This is nothing more than a shabby attempt to avoid responsibility for the decisions made under her command at State. It’s the latest in a series of absurd dodges, and one that Clinton no doubt hopes the media will project as definitive so that continuing questions will continue to get the what difference at this point does it make treatment.” That emphasized phrase echoed a Clinton comment during congressional testimony last year, which some Republicans said signaled she wasn’t invested in determining what led to the attack. A blog post Friday from the Republican group America Rising PAC also argues that “it appears Clinton offers few if any real regrets about how she handled the attack.” Clinton hotly disputes the suggestion that she did not care about what happened. She writes in the forthcoming book: “Nothing could be further from the truth. And many of those trying to make hay of it know that, but don’t care.” People who have persisted in questioning what happened are unlikely to be fully satisfied by the latest Clinton account. Regardless, Clinton sets a defiant tone. She signals that she believes the probes have devolved into a partisan battle, and suggests she won’t keep re-litigating the matter as she raises her public profile even further with the launch of her book on June 10. Meanwhile, some Republicans appeared to be holding their fire, at least for now. Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, who is chairing the Benghazi committee, told CNN that “There is a time and a place for everything, and her book tour is neither for me,” while a representative for Sen. Rand Paul —a possible Republican 2016 contender who has been sharply critical of Clinton — said the Kentucky lawmaker didn’t have a comment at this time. Maggie Haberman contributed to this report.

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 newpapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore. But, day in and day out, The Westfield News provides consistant coverage of the stories you need to know about, that are important to your city, town, neighborhood and home.

Game worth wait for WHS By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer WESTFIELD – If the Westfield High boys’ lacrosse team did not know – “good things come to those that wait” – it sure does now. No. 4 Westfield waited out a nearly one-hour rain delay, and rallied from a 5-4 halftime deficit to defeat No. 5 Westboro, 11-6, in the Western Massachusetts Division 2 quarterfinals Friday in the Whip City. The Bombers (16-3), who scored seven of the game’s final eight goals, have now reeled off two straight victories to begin the 2014 postseason. “Offensively, we moved the ball around,” Westfield coach Mark Cavalon said, “and our defense was aggressive, all over the field.” Zach Gentle led Westfield with six goals scored. Matt Chlastawa had two goals, Sam Scarfo had one goal and two assists, Rashaun Rivers made four assists, Anthony Sullivan had two assists, Garrett Fitzgerald finished with one goal and one assist, and Luke Chlastawa scored once. Craig Ward won 10 of 14 face offs for Westfield. Bombers’ goalie Jake Cupak made several key saves, finishing with 14. Westfield’s defense – Noah Swords, Mitch Weiss, Corey Ward, Garrett Matthews, Jordan Bein, Sam Evans, Kevin Chambers, and Kane Miller – held Westboro to its second fewest goals scored in a game this season. Westfield’s reward for Friday’s tournament victory, a semifinal matchup against top-seeded Longmeadow (22-1), who has outscored its opponents (Tantasqua, Algonquin), 41-6, this postseason. The date and time of the game have yet to be determined. In other tournament action, third-seeded Longmeadow held serve against No. 6 Westfield, 5-0, in the WMass Division 1 girls’ tennis quarterfinals. No further details were available as of press time Friday. Also, the Gateway baseball team’s first round game against No. 15 McCann Tech was rained out Friday, and will be made up Saturday, May 31 at 5 The Bombers attempt to keep its balance against Westboro Friday. p.m. (Photo by Chris Putz)

WHS vs. Longmeadow
Bombers perfect quest By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer WESTFIELD - The Westfield High School boys’ tennis team wrapped up the regular season one week ago, shutting out St. Mary 5-0. The Bombers swept singles play with Jacob Barbieri (6-0, 6-1), Tristin Viale (6-1, 6-0), and Rob Bernadara (6-1, 6-2) winning at the 1-2-3 spots, respectively. Alec Best and Casey McKenzie won in top doubles competition, 6-1, 6-0. Westfield received a forfeit victory at second doubles. “It was a great (regular) season,” Westfield coach John Morizio said. “This team worked at doing the right thing. (Our players) made tremendous commitments, and showed caring and concern for each other … We had a cohesive group that gave us a lot of success this season.” At 13-0, Westfield will now seek to extend that success into the postseason. The thirdseeded Bombers will take on No. 6 Northampton in the WMass D1 quarterfinals Saturday, May 30 at home at 3:30 p.m. In another perfect quest, the Westfield softball team, seeded No. 1 in the WMass D1 quarters, will attempt to make it 21 straight victories when it takes on No. 8 Pittsfield at 1 p.m.

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers
HOT TOPICS: 3 ISSUES GENERATING A BUZZ
SPEED FREAKS
WRECKcollection
A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves
AP/MIKE MCCARNI
Is this Jack Roush’s future ex-driver? It’s looking that way.
AP/TERRY RENNA
Kurt’s engine apparently wasn’t the only thing giving him issues Sunday night at Charlotte. Your highlight from Sunday’s big day of racing? For NASCAR fans, it has to be one of two things. Either Kurt Busch’s great effort at Indianapolis, where he finished sixth, or the sight of Jimmie Johnson draped in confetti and champagne once again — which, come to think of it, isn’t exactly a highlight for those who were hoping that dynasty was slowing.
Do you think Jeff Gordon’s back pain spells career trouble? GODSPEAK: No, it means Gordon needs to carry a supply of aspirin for middle-age aches and pains. KEN’S CALL: It certainly doesn’t spell Y-a-y. I hear it’s keeping him out of the U.S. Open in two weeks.
What else?
That Indy battle with Helio Castroneves and eventual winner Ryan Hunter-Reay showcased how responsive, powerful and hair-raising those IndyCars can be on an oval. With the nervous energy IndyCar produces, you wonder why IndyCar can’t climb its way out of the niche-sport corner it slid into.
Where will Carl Edwards be driving next year?
GODSPEAK: A Team Penske ride would keep Edwards in the Ford camp. KEN’S CALL: My Magic 8-Ball hints at Ganassi, but I hear it’s not really magic. So it’ll probably be Gibbs.
A sign of economic revival?
A new Cup Series entry, complete with new sponsor, is pretty big stuff these days. When Jack Roush announced last week that he’s hiring Trevor Bayne as a full-time driver next year, and bringing a full-season sponsor (a downright rarity nowadays) in Advocare, it was welcome news. Not enough for CNBC to interrupt programming, but still …

This flame-out at Texas might’ve looked like a 43rd-place finish for Junior, but it also could’ve translated into another neat tree ornament on his unique property in Mooresville, N.C. Dale Earnhardt Jr. grew up in NASCAR Cup Series racing and has become the unofficial stockcar garage historian. But recently it was discovered that Earnhardt has taken his passion for the sport to a new level. When a Cup car gets wrecked beyond repair, Earnhardt will call the car owner and ask if he can have the car. Why? Because out back of Earnhardt’s house he has a collection (around 80 at last count) of wrecked race cars — a graveyard of mangled sheet metal. Earnhardt said he has been building the collection for years, but this hoarding came to light when he started using social media after winning the Daytona 500. “I think it’s the Twitter thing,” Earnhardt said last week. “I think people are learning about me on Twitter. We’ve collected cars there for a long time. “It’s not like I go looking for every wreck that we have or anyone has. A lot of times, they’re offered up or I’ll call up a buddy that’s a crew chief or something.” The collection started when Earnhardt created JR Motorsports about 10 years ago. “When JR Motorsports first started, we’d put so much money into building those cars,” he said. “When we’d tear them up, I couldn’t see throwing them away or scrapping them so we’d stick them in the woods. “The first 30 or 40 are JR Motorsports or Late Models or something related to me or my company and we just kept plugging them in there.” It’s not just race cars. There are parts and
pieces of wrecked cars strewn here and there. “There are sides and noses and hoods hanging up in the trees,” he said. “There’s all kind of quirky stuff back there.” All this begs the question, why? “I don’t know why I want them or even why we go get them,” Earnhardt said.
FEUD OF THE WEEK
JOHNSON’S PROBLEM It took Jimmie Johnson 12 races, but he finally got his first win of 2014 Sunday at Charlotte. He said his problem this year has been the handling of the No. 48 Chevy. “A lot of tools have been taken away from us to help the car turn,” Johnson said. “So, it’s something that I’m trying to adapt to and sort out. There are always different challenges in this sport and I know that we’ll get it.” They got it Sunday.
ALL-STAR CHASE BERTH? Jamie McMurray thinks the winner of the 2015 Sprint All-Star Race will earn a berth in the Chase playoffs. “Looking back at the way the Chase format has been structured, I assume next year the winner of the All-Star race will be included into the Chase, based on my history,” said this year’s All-Star winner. “It seems like every year, I’m a year behind on what actually the next year is going to be. But I’m not concerned with that.” In 2010, McMurray won three races but didn’t make the Chase. The following year, the formula was changed to include race winners into the Chase if they weren’t in the top 10.

CHARLOTTE REWIND
For Jimmie, it’s not just about winning, but winning at right time Jimmie Johnson had never gone this far into a NASCAR Cup Series season without a win, but that all changed when he captured the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Sunday night. Johnson has never won fewer than two races or finished lower than sixth in final points driving the No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet. After the win, the six-time champion talked about the pressure of netting that first victory. Was there any point in the beginning of the season up until now that you started to
panic because you hadn’t had a win? Was there any extra added pressure coming into tonight? “No. I mean, the first goal is to make the Chase. You want to win races at the end of the season. You have to win races at the end of the season to be the champion. “Of course, we want to win early and often. But we were holding steady in the championship points. In my opinion, I don’t believe there will be 16 different winners. I felt like a strong
championship points position would get us into the first phase of the Chase. Granted, tonight simplifies things. We’ll take it, move on.” “We really want to heat up and win races later in the season, especially before the Chase starts. More than anything, I just got tired of answering the question. There wasn’t a lot of frustration due to pressure of winning. There was frustration in not having fast race cars.” After you won the pole you said you
wanted folks in the garage to fear the No. 48 again. Do you feel like that’s starting to happen or do you need to win at Dover as well? “We’re off to a good start. Multiple wins do that. If we can take advantage of the next few tracks that are great tracks for us, it would be great momentum. Ideally you’d love to do it before the Chase gets started and carry that right into the start of the Chase. But you never know when you’re going to peak and when everything’s going to be just right.”

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Any advice? Dear Annie: I have been with my husband for six years. “Todd” has a son from a prior relationship, and I have two daughters from my first marriage. We also have a daughter together. Todd’s ex constantly calls and texts him, and it’s never about their son, who lives with his grandparents. I say Todd should cut down on communication with her unless it’s about their child. But anytime I bring it up, he gets defensive. Annie, this woman has caused so many issues in our relationship. She told me she’d slept with Todd two years after it supposedly happened. I found out from a few friends that this was completely false. Todd says he feels obligated to be friendly with his ex because she was a mess after they broke up. He never lets me know when she calls or texts, but from his reactions, I know it’s her on his cellphone. My best friend, who also knows the ex, has confirmed their repeated contact. I’m so stressed over this. Any advice? -- Lost in California Dear Lost: The ex seems determined to interfere in your marriage. She would be irrelevant if Todd would stop permitting her to believe she has a chance to win him back. When he refuses to set boundaries, he encourages her behavior. Explain this to Todd and ask why he is willing to undermine your marriage for the sake of his ex. “Guilt” is an insufficient reason. He is not helping his ex get over him when he allows this to continue. The next step is counseling, alone or together. Dear Annie: I had to respond to “Not a Prude” and “Another Woman Speaking Out,” who said they are disgusted with the appearance of females on national news programs wearing lowcut blouses and short dresses. All of my male friends and I have our own opinion on this subject. There is nothing more attractive and sexy than a smart, knowledgeable professional female in today’s business environment. If that female happens to be good-looking with a nice figure and great legs, it is an asset she needs to use. I suspect most of us guys would not watch a news program if the women, regardless of their abilities, were fat and ugly or wore only long pants and suit jackets. That’s just the way it is. -- Bob in North Carolina Dear Bob: Well, we give you points for honesty, but your attitude is the very definition of sexist. Women in the media are role models for young girls and should look professional -- just like the men. Preferring a newscast that presents women as sex symbols indicates a mindset that hasn’t evolved since the 1950s. Women have spent decades trying to banish such old-fashioned thinking. Today’s parents would not appreciate others judging their daughters’ professional capabilities by whether they also are eye candy. The fact that some women are willing to debase themselves in order to be hired and admired by men like you does not make it appropriate or acceptable and only underscores the pressure many women still feel to conform to such outdated attitudes. Dear Annie: I am writing in response to “Betsey,” who said kids shouldn’t have to tell their parents when they are traveling or where. My parents also went on small trips lasting several days. Dad loved that we did not know where they were. On their last secret adventure, my brother was in a horrific accident and died. We desperately tried to locate our parents, but they did not carry a cellphone. Bad things happen. Let someone know how to reach you. Keep emergency medical information (medications, doctors, insurance, emergency contact, etc.) with you, and give a copy to someone in case you cannot speak for yourself. -- Still Sad Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
HINTS FROM HELOISE PASSWORD PERFECT Dear Heloise: I have a hint for trying to see a Wi-Fi password on a label on the bottom of a router. It can be annoying to try to maneuver so that one can see the long string of digits and letters, as well as enter them into your device. So I just took a photo of it with my phone. I always have it with me, and no more struggling with the router! -Kathryn H., Fairfax, Va. SIMPLE ADDITION Dear Heloise: I had the misfortune to have fallen on ice. As a result, I broke my femur and had to have extensive physical therapy. Using a walker has been a challenge, to say the least. My son thought about attaching a bicycle basket and cup holder on the front of my walker. This addition allows me to easily make my own meals, empty the dishwasher and put dishes, pans and silverware away. This also allows me to carry my clothes from the bedroom to the bathroom. -- Pat Z., Warren, Ohio REMEMBER THE BURNER Dear Heloise: My mom always told me to turn off the burner before I take a pan off the stove. Then you don’t need to worry about it being left on. -- Deborah F., via email

YOUR HOROSCOPE Contract Bridge By Jaqueline Bigar
DOG EAT DOUG
Brian Anderson
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, May 31, 2014: This year you have a unique opportunity to get past a problem that has haunted you for years. You also will spend a considerable amount of time reflecting and enjoying your downtime. Take a class in yoga, or try some other type of relaxing exercise. You even might opt to do some volunteer work. If you are single, this summer is when Cupid will be in your neighborhood. You probably will meet several potential suitors this year. If you are attached, you will enjoy spending more time together by partaking in your favorite pastimes. Make plenty of one-and-one time for each other. CANCER is very emotional.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You inadvertently might upset someone you look up to and care about. Your spontaneity might threaten this person’s plans, as he or she wants you to be part of them. Tap into your imagination, and you will come out ahead. Tonight: Head to a movie or concert. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You will say exactly what you want, and others will hear you. Avoid a power play at all costs. Your imagination will take you to a new level, once you get into a deep conversation with a friend. Someone at a distance might have quite an effect on you. Tonight: Stay close to home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH An argument could color your day. Part of the issue might have to do with your spending habits. A discussion with a loved one will be enlightening, if nothing else. Remain sensitive to this person, even if you don’t like what you are hearing. Tonight: Be spontaneous. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might irritate a roommate or a loved one. Fortunately, you seem to have the right words to patch up a problem in a moment or two. Allow more creativity to come in through others. Chime in with your sense of humor. Tonight: The world is your oyster. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Whatever is going on that is hush-hush might be best kept that way. Be wise, and don’t ask for more information. A loved one at a distance could surprise you with his or her ideas. Go along with this person’s line of thought. Tonight: Make it an early night. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You could be pushed by friends to meet up with them. By saying “yes,” you might discover that you stop worrying about a problem and how to deal with it. Don’t let a loved one railroad you into doing only what he or she wants to do. Tonight: Be where people are. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Your sense of direction will help you make it through a meeting. An older relative or friend might want you to join him or her; however, you must tackle and complete a responsibility first. Anger might be a lot closer to the surface than you realize. Tonight: Be the lead actor. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might want to understand what is happening with a neighbor or relative. Make a call and casually catch up on news. You might want to reflect on what you are hearing after the talk. If concerned, follow your intuitive sense. Tonight: Consider a trip in the near future. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You will want to rethink a personal decision. You might be worried about what is happening with a friend who has been angry as of late. You could have quite a disagreement with this person, but try to be understanding. Tonight: Surrounded by good music. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You might want to hear more from others. The best way to achieve this would be to say less yet also show extreme interest. One person in particular will seek your approval. Be careful with how you respond, as he or she needs more self-confidence. Tonight: Where people are. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH No one doubts that you are busy and need to finish some projects. The incoming calls are meant to let you know that you are missed. Free yourself up as soon as you can, as you will want to join your pals. Tonight: Do not push

yourself too hard. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Be more forthright in how you handle a personal matter. You could be unusually fatigued by a child. Use caution with a risk, and know full well what needs to happen. A friend might become uptight and quite difficult to speak to. Avoid a risk at all costs. Tonight: Order in.

Hyper • Local
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.
25
But, day in and day out, The Westfield News provides consistant coverage of the stories you need to know about, that are important to your city, town, neighborhood and home.
