City, state working to keep Cenveo jobs

By Peter Francis Staff Writer AMHERST – Last year, The National Envelope of Westfield was purchased out of bankruptcy protection by Cenveo, a Connecticut-based company that claims to produce one quarter of the envelopes used in the United States. Now, the Westfield plant, which employs about 200 people, will close in June.

State Treasurer and former Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Steve Grossman, comes from a family that has owned and operated the Massachusetts Envelope Company, now the Grossman Marketing Company, since 1910.

“When I was in business, Old Colony Envelope Company was a gem of a manufacturing facility,” Grossman said of the company that became National Envelope in 1994. “If a company says we’re going to shut down, and it’s going to cost as many as 200 jobs, in a city like Westfield that has been home to one of the most distinguished envelope manufacturing companies in the country for years, the goal is to use whatever tools we have in state government to retain those jobs.”

“That’s where state government hopefully can step in and work with the owners of the company to find a way to facilitate a move to a new facility, to facilitate some moving expenses,” he added.

“That’s where Mass Development potentially can be a powerful vehicle.”

Grossman, along with State Attorney General Martha Coakley, is considered a front-runner to win the Democratic Gubernatorial nomination

and face Republican Charlie Baker in this fall’s race to succeed outgoing Governor Deval L. Patrick.

“Maybe it’s because I’ve come from the business world, but the three key words I want government to be are fast, flexible, and entrepreneurial,” he said.

“When a company says we’re shutting down, but we might be persuaded to stay if you can help us out… we won’t always succeed. I can’t promise 100 percent success, but I certainly would promise 100 percent effort, and the use of every tool and technique we have to keep those jobs, to keep those men and women working, to keep those people who have been part of multi-generations of manufacturing.”

Grossman, a Newton native, said that he had reached out to Westfield Mayor Daniel M. Knapik following the

announcement of National Envelope’s closing.

“I said ‘Dan, I don’t necessarily have the authority, but how can we think through creatively what you could do, what vehicles are available?’” Grossman said. “I think the manufacturing company would like to stay in Westfield. I just think right now they find it not affordable because of real estate issues.

So lets figure out a way to fix that.

There is always a solution.”

“We have a line of communication open with both Cenveo and the Governor’s office and I am hopeful that this communication may lead to a positive outcome for Cenveo, their employees and the city,” said Knapik. “Steve Grossman has been very helpful in See National Envelope Jobs, Page 3

Rabbit mystery investigated

By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Bunny rabbits are traditionally in vogue at Eastertime since they are often symbolic of fertility and rebirth and often play a starring role in celebrations of spring but it is hard to understand the symbolism of rabbit heads left in mailboxes.

City police report that a resident called Monday evening to report that the severed head of a rabbit had been left in his mother’s mailbox.

Nathan Osowski responded and reports

“Never practice what you preach.

If you’re going to practice it, why preach it?”

that a Pinehurst resident told him that a letter carrier had alerted her to the rabbit’s head in her mailbox and also told her that a second rabbit head had been found in a Willis Street mailbox.

The woman, whose sister lives about four blocks away on Willis Street, found that the rabbit head on Willis Street had been left in her sister’s mailbox.

The officer reports that one of the woman’s neighbors removed the rabbit had from her mailbox and buried it in a back yard.

The woman removed the rabbit head

from her sister’s mailbox and disposed of it.

Det. Brian Freeman was assigned to investigate the mystery and reports that a hunter who had seen the rabbit heads before they were buried said that they looked like they came from wild rabbits.

Freeman said that he canvassed the neighborhoods but did not speak to anyone who reported seeing anything unusual.

Anyone who did see anything out of the ordinary or otherwise knows about the mysterious rabbit heads is asked the call the Detective Bureau at 572-6400.

Rain barrels conserve water, money

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Residents have an opportunity to go green, or blue or black, with the purchase of a 60-gallon rain barrel being offered through a joint program sponsored by the Water Resource and Public Works departments.

The barrels, manufactured from recycled plastic, are a product of the Great American Rain Barrel Company, and can be used to collect rain water which can be used for home garden irrigation.

“It’s the same program we did last year,” Water Resource Engineer Charles Darling said Tuesday. “It’s a joint program between our department and public works.”

Darling said the Public Works Department has offered the rain barrels in the past under its stormwater management program and that the Water Resource Department’s offering supports the stormwater management program.

“People seem to like it because it promotes conservation by using storm water for irrigation, using free water instead of having to pay for it,” Darling said. “So it pays for itself.”

This is a state award, so the price is set at $69 dollars,” Darling said. “The barrels have two spigots, a higher one for filling watering cans and a lower one for hose attachments.”

Darling said that reduction in the use of city water for irrigation also lowers the amount of electricity used by the Water Resource Department to treat and distribute water throughout the city.

“Any conservation measure is also taken as credit under the Department of Environmental Protection stormwater management policies,” Darling said.

“The barrels are constructed to tie right into a down spout to collect rainwater off the roof of homes,” Darling said.

“And they come with a screen to prevent misquotes from getting into the barrel.’

The barrels, which cost $69 dollars are equipped with two ports to accommodate the use of either a hose or watering can.

Residents purchased 56 barrels last year when the program was initiated.

The deadline to order a barrel this year is June 5, with the

Water Resource Engineer Charles Darling holds an optional down spout adapter while standing with a new 60-gallon rain barrel. Residents can order the $69 barrel by calling 1-800-2512352 by 5 p.m. June 5, 2014 with pick up in the City Hall parking lot June 12, 2014 from 4 – 6 p.m. (Photo by Frederick Gore) barrels available for pick up in the City Hall parking lot on June 12.

The barrels are available in brown, gray and green, or in unpainted gray or black.

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A group of downtown property owners submitted a petition to the City Clerk yesterday, which under state law, could lead to the dissolution of the Business Improvement District established in 2006.

Under that state Mayor’s Message law (MGL Chapter 400, Section 10) the “BID is Vital...”

City Clerk, upon — Page 4 verification of the petition, must schedule a public hearing within 30 days before the City Council, which following the hearing can vote to either maintain or dissolve the BID organization.

The Westfield BID was established under the original state law as a voluntary participation organization. Many of the property owners within the BID opted out of membership. Then the state modified the law, making membership within the district mandatory.

The group seeking to disband BID is required to submit a petition containing signatures of 51 percent of the property owners.

Ted Cassell, owner of Park Square Realty on Elm Street, said this morning that the petition contains signatures of 57 percent of the property owners within the district.

“We’re very confident that the petition signatures will be verified,” Cassell said. “We spent a lot of time going over the list of property owners and we crossed-verified the list through public records.

Cassell said the property owners are seeking to disband BID because they “don’t see a value in BID membership. It’s not bearing fruit as we hoped it See Anti-BID, Page 3

Bail jumpers back

By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A couple who fled Westfield court ahead of arraignment was back in court again yesterday and, this time, arraigned and held.

The couple is charged with offenses stemming from a larceny from a commercial storage unit which, according to the victim, had been a temporary repository for $30,000 in cash, savings bonds and thousands of jewelry and collectible items.

The theft had been investigated by Det. Brian Freeman who said that the victim had explained that her home had been damaged and she had removed all her valuables to her storage unit, both to make room for the needed repairs and to keep the property safe while a succession of contractors were in her home to make repairs.

Freeman said that his investigation found that an adjacent storage unit had been rented by a couple who were known to him as heroin users and he began to suspect them more strongly after an employee of the storage facility reported seeing the male party of the couple, Luis M. Casanova, 23, of 919 Southampton Road, near the door of the victim’s unit.

Freeman said that a search of area jewelry stores and other businesses which buy used jewelry showed that the female half of the couple, Chelsea L. Smith, 24, of 23 River St., had sold items which fit the description of some of the stolen pieces. When he investigated, he said, he found the woman in the store when he went there.

“We were there to get other stuff she sold and she was there trying to sell more,” Freeman said. “As soon as I walked in she looked like she saw a ghost.

It was funny.”

Smith was found to be in possession of several bags of heroin when she was arrested and, after her mother posted $1,000 bail, she was released and appeared in court as scheduled.

Court records show that she was interviewed by a court-appointed defense attorney and apparently advised that there could be an effort to modify her bail.

Smith had been in court with Casanova (who had not then been charged) and the couple left the court before Smith could be arraigned.

Smith reportedly left her child with a relative in Chicopee before she and Casanova dropped out of sight. The child was later surrendered to the See Bail Jumpers, Page 3

Telephone scammers targeting WG&E customers

On Saturday the annual Fund Raising Paper Shredding event sponsored by The Citizen Scholarship Foundation of Westfield a Chapter of Dollars For Scholars was held at the South Middle School Parking lot. Through the generous support of the community $1200.00 was raised for local student scholarships, and over two tons of personal documents and paper was shredded. This on site shredding provided protected document disposal for area residents, and the recycling of unwanted paper materials, while benefiting area students. The shredding service was a donation provided by Valley Green Shredding a new member of the Westfield business community. CSF would like to thank all who made this event the success it was, and hope to see all again next year the first Saturday after tax day in April.

Indiana cat missing 5 years reunited with owner FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) — A cat that went missing five years ago has been reunited with its owner in Indiana thanks to an implanted microchip.

WOWO-AM and WANE-TV report the 10-year-old cat named Charlie showed up at Fort Wayne Animal Care and Control on Monday. Workers there scanned the cat and discovered Charlie had a microchip that identified Virginia Fryback of Fort Wayne as his owner.

Fryback says Charlie disappeared from her home five years ago and she thought she’d never see him again. She thanks the veterinarian who convinced her to get a microchip when Charlie was a kitten.

The microchip might have saved Charlie’s life. Shelter spokeswoman Peggy Bender says most people adopt much younger cats.

Grossman also addressed manufacturing as a key point of emphasis for job creation in the Commonwealth.

“I believe advanced and precision manufacturing is a huge part of our future, and no place understands that better than western Massachusetts,” he said. “If we’re going to create 50,000 new advanced and precision manufacturing jobs, it’s going to be because a German manufacturer of windows (Menck) comes to Chicopee and says ‘I’m going to work with Mass Development to create 100 to 150 jobs.’ When’s the last time 100 manufacturing jobs were created in Chicopee?”

“That’s a big deal, and if Chicopee can attract 100 jobs from a German manufacturer of windows, that can happen again and again and again if our voc-tech schools are in business to generate and educate the next generation of manufacturing students,” Grossman continued. “You don’t have to go to a four-year school, to UMass-Amherst, to make yourself between $60-80,000 in precision and advanced manufacturing. We can create and make sure Massachusetts is a place where manufacturing jobs proliferate. That is going to improve quality of life in a lot of towns that have been left out and left behind.”

Grossman toured the UMass-Amherst campus yesterday afternoon and conducted a forum on topics including student debt, internships and job and housing opportunities for graduates.

would.”

Property owners are paying taxes on their commercial property at the commercial tax rate of $33.84 per $1,000 of assessed value. The owners are also charged a .5 percent BID surtax based on the assessed value of their property.

“Commercial property owners are paying taxes at the commercial rate, and then are saddled with an additional (BID) fee,” Cassell said.

Attorney Brad Moir, whose office is located within the BID on Court Street, said the lack of a voice for property owners who originally opted out is a primary reason for the petition effort.

“The original BID was totally voluntary until the state Legislature passed the amended law five years later making it mandatory,” Moir said this morning.

By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – When Clayton Cigal, Sr. was asked by his good friend, Fred Rutka, to join him on a walk back in 1988, he never dreamed that walk would become such a big part of his family’s life.

That walk was the CROP Walk, the original charitable walking event in the U.S. to end hunger. The walk is an initiative of Church World Services.

Clayton, Sr. began walking every year and organized the walk. Today, his son Clayton, Jr. does most of the organizing with help from the rest of the Cigal family. Clayton, Sr.’s wife, Ann, said the walk has grown tremendously over the last 15 years.

“I think we started out with 10 people walking an we’re up to well over 150,” said Ann. “It keeps growing.”

The CROP Walk begins and ends at the Southwick Congregational Church at the corner of College Highway and Depot Street.

“Years ago we used to walk down Depot to Sheep Pasture and up Berkshire, but then they made the rail trail and it was safer to walk on that,” Ann said.

The group now proceeds down College Highway on the sidewalk to Feeding Hills Road where they enter the trail and continue to Depot Street and back to the church.

“It’s about five miles,” said Ann, and we have always had lunch afterward.”

Some years there was pizza, and some years there were sandwiches.

“For the past few years the Rotary has come and set up their grills on the green and make a nice lunch,” Ann said.

“And we have activities, too.”

Face painting, martial arts demonstrations and family fun are now a part of the CROP Walk tradition.

“It has turned into quite a nice family event,” Ann said, adding that her grandson Sam provides live music at the event.

Church World Services is passionate about ensuring sustainable access to proper, nutritious food, supporting more than 2,200 local hunger-fighting groups across the U.S. Ann said Church World Services immediately responds to disasters around the world.

“It really is a very good organization,” she said.

This year’s CROP Walk takes place June 1.

Registration begins at noon and the walk starts at 1 p.m.

There is no registration fee but walk participants are asked to get walk sponsors to pledge a donation.

Ann said although Clayton, Sr., now 87, has handed the organization of the walk to his family, he remains involved in the walk and hopes the community comes together for the cause.

Seventy-five percent of the CROP Walk funds raised go to Church World Services, while 25-percent is donated to the Our Community Table food pantry in Southwick.

A lead suggesting that they had gone to Enfield did not pan out, he said, and he turned his focus to Holyoke.

“I had reason to believe that they were in Holyoke, I had a couple of anonymous tips,” he said and enlisted the assistance of Holyoke officers to be on the lookout for the couple.

He said that it was state trooper who had questions about the couple’s vehicle when he spotted it in Holyoke.

Freeman said that the suspects lied to the trooper but he persisted and they were taken into custody Monday evening.

The couple returned to the Westfield Court yesterday where both were held after arraignment in lieu of $5,000 cash bail.

Casanova was arraigned for breaking and entering a building in the daytime with intent to commit a felony and larceny of property valued more than $250.

Smith was arraigned for receiving stolen property valued more than $250 and possession of a Class A drug.

Each is scheduled to return to court May 21.

COMMENT Message From The Mayor

BID is a Vital Partner in Downtown Renaissance

Happy Easter, Westfield! I’m sitting here watching the WWLP news at 9 and the meteorologist shows a picture of downtown Westfield. You know something? When you see that beautiful picture of downtown Westfield... I mean, I’m waiting for Sylvester Stallone and some of his convicts to come up from one of his prison movies because it looks like the center of a prison court where they do some exercises, play some games, run and stuff. It’s a cement courtyard and I’m just praying that someday, I’m 57, that maybe I’ll see some color, maybe a real tree, even a flower would be nice. But the picture they show? They should have cars out there with somebody attending them. Have a nice holiday Westfield. Thank you.

I recently visited Stanley Park on Monday 4/21, while I was at the duck pond, I noticed a very large group of Russian or Ukranian people, most of them young children that were unsupervised. During my visit with the ducks, fish and geese I watch a large number of them throwing large rocks into the pond trying to kill the fish. I made a comment to one of the boys to leave them alone and that what they were doing was wrong. They ran up ahead on me on the stairs and continued to throw large rocks at the ducks in the pond, almost hitting a few.

When I reached the end on the stairs by the bridge at the frog ponds, I saw a minivan that the kids were huddling around. I chose to bite my tongue and continued my walk. When I reached the upwards set of stairs, they all ran past me and did it again. Throwing rocks at the fish and ducks. I walked toward them, told them to stop and asked if they would like it if I threw rocks at them. They pretended not to understand me, yet when I walked away I hear them speaking perfect English. The point is my comment, is that kids have no respect these days. Parents are letting them run around and hurt innocent creatures. To all parents that take responsibility for your children, thank you.

Thank you very much. I may be young but I was raised with old school morals. And to the people in charge of Stanley Park, I do suggest you increase your patrols, I would hate to see another innocent creature hurt or potentially killed like our beloved Ozzy. Please try to do something to prevent these things from happening. It took everything in me not to trip the oldest boy who was throwing the largest rocks at the ducks.

Clinton: Welcome ‘older women’

By Lucy McCalmont Politico.com Hillary Clinton is no stranger to criticism regarding her age as speculation builds around a possible 2016 bid, but the former secretary of state said there are older women who could make a difference — including within politics.

“There’s an army of women and frankly, a very large group of older women who could make a real difference to America’s corporations, businesses, academia, politics — you name it,” Clinton said Wednesday at the Simmons Leadership Conference.

Clinton, who delivered the conference’s keynote address, called for an end to age discrimination, saying of women who left the workforce in their 20s and 30s to raise families, “their brains have not not atrophied.”

She added, “they still have great abilities, great talents, great opportunities to participate. And so we need to be welcoming people back into the workforce.”

Clinton, quoting anthropologist Margaret Mead, said by the time men are ready to retire, their female counterparts are “raring to go.”

“As men and women age, men are tired of the race, I mean they’ve been running it since their late teens, they’re exhausted.

All they want to do is take a deep breath, they want to retire, they want to play golf, they want to just enjoy life,” Clinton said. “And women are raring to go because they feel like they’ve fulfilled their responsibilities, their kids are now on their own, it’s now time for them to show what they can do.”

Discussing the lack of women in elected office in her remarks, Clinton praised Massachusetts senator — and possible See Older Women, Page 5

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR To The Editor: There has been a lot of talk lately relative to Phase II construction of the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail in Westfield.

Some important issues and valid concerns have been raised by local residents. Unfortunately, there has been little discussion of many of the realities of this project, or with regard to many of the common myths related to urban trails. This letter aims to dispel some of these myths.

Myth: Residents had little involvement in the planning process. Fact: Plans for the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail date back to the early 1990s. Since then, the City has conducted both public information sessions, and, as required by Massachusetts law, a number of public hearings related to design and construction. Closer to construction of both Phase I and Phase II, abutters and residents within 1,000 feet of the Trail received invitations to neighborhood meetings.

Announcements were made via a myriad of media channels.

There has been ample opportunity to ask questions, address concerns, offer suggestions, and provide feedback. Myth: Land and trees have been taken resulting in lack of property and privacy. Fact: The City owns a clearly marked easement/rightof-way along the Columbia Greenway and has plans to include both decorative/privacy fencing, as well as landscaping to address any concerns regarding privacy. The City has been and will continue to be a good neighbor.

Myth: Minimal thought has been given to protect the safety of children. Fact: There has been extensive thought given to ensure the safety of children – and every other user of the Trail.

The Columbia Greenway, just as with any other transportation system, has rules of use (the standard is a 15MPH speed limit on bike paths). The East Silver Street access ramp will adhere to standards outlined by the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices [as it does for streets and highways], including, in the likeliest scenario, a “Warning: Trail Ends” and/or “Stop” sign at the approach to, and end of the ramp, respectively.

Additionally, the sidewalk along East Silver Street will be widened to Coleman Avenue. Trail users will be directed to a curb cut (already existing at Coleman and East Silver Streets) for street access. A railing is to be installed along East Silver Street as an additional safety precaution.

Myth: The Rail Trail will decrease property values. Fact: Several studies have been conducted across the United States demonstrating exactly the opposite. According to Home Sales Near Two Massachusetts Trails (Jan. 25, 2006; Craig Della Penna), “Municipalities through out the United States have found economic benefits in Bike Trails within close proximity to residential areas.” Further, the study finds, “Homes sales were examined in the seven Massachusetts towns through which the Minuteman Bikeway and Nashua River Rail Trail run. Statistics on list and selling prices and on days on the market were analyzed. The analysis shows that homes near these rail trails sold at 99.3% of the list price as compared to 98.1% of the list price for other homes sold in these towns. The most significant feature of home sales near rail trails is that these homes sold in an average of 29.3 days as compared to 50.4 days for other homes.”

In a separate study conducted by the Rails To Trails Conservancy (Economic Benefits of Trails and Greenways, 2004) “A 1998 study of property values along the Mountain Bay Trail in Brown County, Wisconsin shows that lots adjacent to the rail sold faster and for an average of 9 percent more than similar property not located next to the trail.” Further, “Realizing the selling power of greenways, developers of the Shepherd’s Vineyard housing development in Apex, North Carolina added $5,000 to the price of 40 homes adjacent to the regional greenway, those homes were still the first to sell.”

Myth: Having a rail trail in our backyard increases crime.

Fact: One has only to look at neighboring communities [Southwick, Easthampton, Northampton, Amherst] as examples of ways in which having a trail has had little or no effect on crime rates. There is plenty of evidence to suggest a trail has no effect on crime, and may actually lead to a decrease in crime.

▪ A number of studies have now shown that urban greenway trails do not increase crime and, in fact, are commonly regarded as improvements by adjacent property owners.

▪ Comparisons of mugging, assault, rape, and murder make it quite clear that rail-trail crime rates are almost non-existent on a per capita comparison to other areas. (Bike Path Phobia: Selling Skeptics on Urban Greenway Bike Paths, Parks & Recreation, 2000; Tod Schneider) ▪ Stories of trails attracting drug dealers, murderers and rapists are perpetuated by trail opponents with only a handful of newspaper headlines to back up their assertions rather than

empirical research...

▪ The research that has been conducted, along with anecdotal evidence, suggests that converting an abandoned rail corridor to a trail actually tends to reduce crime by cleaning up the landscape and attracting people who use the trail for recreation and transportation…

▪ The study found that incidents of vandalism and burglary did not increase as a result of the trail. (Rail-Trails and Safe Communities: The Experience on 372 Trails. National Park Service Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance Program, January 1998; Tammy Tracy & Hugh Morris) Resident have an opportunity to attend the annual Trail Mixer event planned for Thursday, May 15, from 4 to 7pm at Shaker Farms Country Club Pavilion and Trail Head parking area. In addition to learning more about the Columbia Greenway project children and families will participate in a scavenger hunt aimed at providing useful educational tools for trail users.

Topics include: bicycle safety; safe road crossings; trail rules; and users guide and responsibilities. For those with further questions about the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail, or the work of Friends of the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail, I invite you to attend one of our monthly Board of Directors meetings. All meetings are open to the public and are held on the third Tuesday of each month (with the exception of July and August) at 6.30pm at the Episcopal Church of the Atonement, 36 Court Street. Questions may also be emailed to Columbiagreenway@ gmail.com, or posted to our Facebook page.

Sincerely, Jeffrey J. LaValley Chair, Board of Directors columbiagreenway@gmail.com www.columbiagreenway.org

To the Editor To the Citizens of Westfield. From the Graduating Class of the Thirteenth Citizens Police Academy.

I think everyone just assumes they know what policemen and women are like.

There’s the stereotype of the stern authority figure just out looking for you to mess up in any way, so they can cause trouble for you.

I grew up amongst many civil servants, firemen and policemen alike, I knew all of the officers in town and they knew us. I couldn’t appreciate it at the time, but they were looking out for us constantly.

My uncles and relatives would never talk about what happened while they were working, so that stereotype continued.

If I was in trouble, the worst threat was if they had to talk to my parents, who would also meter out punishment. Police were people to be avoided.

I’m sure most people eventually figure out how important you all are to watching out for us and protecting us, both from bad people, and from ourselves at times.What I didn’t quite understand until this police academy was the depth of job and the professionalism with which you all handle it.

When we get in scary situations, we call the cops. But what if you’re the person called to resolve the problem?

It’s your job, and something you chose to do, to be the shield, to be the person that makes it safe again.

You have so many tools and so many responsibilities that I couldn’t even imagine. I’m in awe. Truly.

Being able to walk in your shoes humbles me. Even if it is just for a moment, it is enough to know and appreciate.

NOT that it always has to be serious. I’ve heard so many funny stories and such that everyone has told, that shows the lighter side of the job as well.

Such as, Madam, do you know there are 3 mailboxes under your car?

No, son, a license and registration are required.

Sienkiewicz, this is great country, you have car accident and insurance company PAY you!

The grace and pride that officers operate with, is a testament to their hard work, skills, and more important: their patience.

Knowing when someone needs a moment to compose themselves verses more drastic action, comes with wisdom.You’re the ultimate problem solvers, and you know that sometimes the problem will best be solved itself.

You make the world and our city a better place in which to live.

Thank you for your dedication and this opportunity.

“Resin” is an elegant and expressive display of what makes the LINES Ballet stand out from the world of classical ballet; it is set to Sephardic music, with roots in the Jewish communities of medieval Spain. Musical curator and ethnomusicologist Francesco Spagnolo explains, “the music of the Sephardic Jews has come into contact with music from Europe, including Italy and the Balkans, and especially with the Arabic and Turkish musical worlds.” Rare archival field recordings are interwoven with Judeo-Spanish songs by early-music artist Jordi Savall, and the stage is transformed into a shimmering and timeless landscape.

Next To Normal The Theater Project at West Springfield’s Majestic Theatre presents the Pulitzer Prize winning musical “Next to Normal” through June 1. Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey profile a seemingly typical suburban American family, who is torn apart by the mother’s challenges and struggles with bipolar disorder. The family, all survivors, learn to take care of themselves and each other.

“Next to Normal” picked up Tony Awards for its score, orchestrations, and its leading actress, Alice Ripley. The musical had a successful Broadway run and national tour, and productions have been mounted around the globe. Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey are currently represented on Broadway by the new musical hit, “If/Then”, which stars Idina Menzel.

“Next to Normal” is one of the few Broadway musicals of recent years, which is not an adaptation of a film hit, play, or novel.

City native Gawron appears in ‘Disney’s Beauty and The Beast’

By MARK AUERBACH Correspondent The Broadway mega-hit “Disney’s Beauty and The Beast” makes a return visit to Hartford’s Bushnell on May 6-11. An adaptation of the 1991 Disney film, with music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice, and a book by Linda Woolverton, “Beauty and The Beast” ran on Broadway for Sarah over 5,400 performances to become Broadway’s Gawron eighth longest-running production in history.

Westfield High School graduate Sarah Gawron plays the roles of “Silly Girl” and “Enchanted Object” in the Bushnell-bound national tour. As a kid, she began studies at New England Dance and Gymnastics in Westfield, but when she performed in a high school musical production of “Oklahoma”, she realized that musical theatre was her mission.

“I was mesmerized by the musical ’42nd Street’, which I saw at Springfield Symphony Hall”, says Gawron, “so I majored in musical theatre at James Madison University in Virginia. I did summer stock, and when I graduated, I moved to New York. I ended up joining a children’s theatre company in South Korea. We performed

musicals like ‘Jack and The Beanstock’ and ‘Alice in Wonderland’ in English to Korean audiences who love theatre. American musicals are popular there”.

“I’d never travelled before, and I love to travel”, says Gawron, who has been crossing the country in “Disney’s Beauty and The Beast”. “I joined the company last year and did my first performances in Nashville.”

Gawron plans to remain with the national tour through mid-June.

“Being with ‘Disney’s Beauty and The Beast’ has been a wonderful experience”, says Gawron. “The musical is definite family fare, and it’s fun performing for young people, who may be at a live theatre performance for the very first time. When I was a kid, my sister and I would choreograph our own routines to a cassette recording of the movie soundtrack”.

Since her Westfield days, Gawron has compiled an impressive list of credits. At the Papermill Theatre in New Hampshire, she performed as Sally Brown in “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown”; as Graziella in “West Side Story”; as Bird Girl in “Seussical: The Musical”, and as Flossie in “On The Town”. In regional theatres, she has performed in “Christmas Spectacular”, “The Lost Colony”, “The Wild Party” and “Urinetown”.

Gawron is based in New York City, when she’s not on tour. She still polishes her dance moves at the Broadway Dance Center and the Astoria Fine Arts Center. She says that choreographer who has most influenced her is the late Bob Fosse.

Gawron’s family still lives in Westfield, and she’s looking forward to the performances at The Bushnell.

“It will be a great reunion with family and friends” she says.

Gawron is one of a handful of Westfield folks who have gone into show business. Don Pardo, the voice of “Saturday Night Live” since its premiere, was born in the Whip City (but grew up in Norwich, CT). Anne Pitoniak, the two-time Tony Award-nominated actress (for “Night Mother” and “Picnic”), called Westfield home.

The Bushnell run of ’s “Disney’s Beauty and The Beast” has family-friendly performance times: evening performances on Tuesday through Friday at 7 p.m.; matinees on Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., Saturday at 10:30 a.m. and 4 p.m., and Sunday at 2 p.m.

Fortress. Great to see the band having him singing on their latest release, and also adds a nice element to their live show.

The band continued to plow through their set with some AB classics like Broken Wings, Metalingus and One Day Remains. Up next came Blackbird, possibly one of the best songs of the night and a staple for almost all AB shows.

This song had to crowd singing or should I say yelling along with the band during the chorus and then watched as Tremonti and Kennedy traded guitar solos… amazing!

The show closed with Open Your Eyes and the band left the stage for a couple of minutes to regroup and encored with two of my favorites, Find the Real and Rise Today. Rise Today has become the unofficial closing song for Alter Bridge. Two great songs to end a great night of Rawk.

If you have never listened to Alter Bridge or have seen them live and are a fan of Rawk music… then you are missing out! It’s hard to believe the band has been around for 10 years now and have put out four amazing releases of the most consistently good music.

Alter Bridge consists of Myles Kennedy on vocals and guitar, Mark Tremonti on lead guitar, Brian Marshall on bass and Scott Phillips on drums.

As you can read by my review, I can’t say enough about how good this band is live. They are the definition of RAWK!

By Mike Augusti Correspondent BOSTON- A true Rawk and Roll show came roaring into Boston Tuesday night in the form of Alter Bridge and Monster Truck. Both bands touring in support of new releases, played to a sold out and frenzied crowd at The Royale in the heart of Boston’s theater district.

Canada’s very own Monster Truck opened the show promptly at 8 and ripped through a strong 35-minute set. Their set consisted of songs from the full length release Furiosity and The Brown EP. Monster Truck has been getting a lot of radio play lately, and coupled with their live shows, the positive press has been rolling in. The band, led by lead singer/bassist Jon Harvey, opened the show with The Lion and continued rawkin’ with their radio hit, Old Train. Monster Truck also played Undercover Love, Sweet Mountain River and Seven Seas Blues. The band finished the night with Call it a Spade. Allotted for only a 35-minute opening set, Monster Truck provided the crowd with a small sample of what this band can do live.

They will be leaving this tour to hook up with Alice in Chains for a few dates… and they are well worth checking out!

After a short break to take down Monster Truck’s equipment, Alter Bridge took the stage to a huge roar from the crowd and kicked off their set with a new song Addicted to Pain. Alter Bridge consists of Myles Kennedy on vocals and guitar, Mark Tremonti on lead guitar, Brian Marshall on bass and Scott Phillips on drums. The rhythm section of Tremonti, Marshall and Phillips form the band Creed when not in Alter Bridge.

Kennedy also lends his vocal talents to former Guns n Roses guitarist Slash, when he tours and records.

The song White Knuckles came next followed by Come to Life, both off the 2007 release Blackbird, which some consider to be AB’s most solid release. Another new song, Cry of Achilles, off the 2013 release Fortress.

Alter Bridge was flying through the set and showing Boston why they are considered one of the best live Rawk bands around today.

Brand New Start, Ghost of Days Gone By and Ties That Bind were followed by a new twist to Alter Bridge’s sound and live performance.

Guitarist Mark Tremonti took a turn on lead vocals with the song Water Rising, also from their most recent release,

Gateway wins thriller

By Chris Putz Staff Writer HUNTINGTON – If anyone thought Gateway would wallow in despair, following its first loss of the high school baseball season Tuesday against St. Mary, those thoughts were quickly extinguished a day later.

Gateway bounced back with a thrilling 7-6 win over visiting Hampshire Wednesday. The Gators rallied with four Gateway pitcher Calvin Dowers delivers a pitch against runs in the sixth inning.

double, run), Willis Pollard walked, Josh Baillargeon reached safely on a sacrifice hit, Justin Edinger (run) hit a basesloaded, one-run single, Curtis Dowers (run) doubled in a run, Calvin Dowers plated a run and reached safely on a suicide squeeze, Geoff Sobotka (2 RBIs) hit a bases-loaded sac-fly, and Everett Warner hit an RBI single.

“Everyone pitched in, played great ball for the fifth and sixth innings offensively, doing the little things,” Gateway coach Gary St. Peter said.

Curtis Dowers pitched the first five innings for Gateway. He gave up four runs, only one earned, on two eights and eight walks, striking out eight.

Gators’ Sobotka struck out three, walked one, and allowed two hits – and two earned runs – over the final two innings.

“It was a great job from the guys both offensively and coming together as a team to do the little things, and a great job at the end of the game from our pitchers nailing it at the end.”

Southwick Rams get A-plus effort, defeat Sabis

By Chris Putz Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – The first quarter report cards are in for the Southwick-Tolland Regional High School baseball team, and the Rams appear to be cashing in with high grades.

Southwick completed its first six games played with a record of 5-1, following consecutive victories. The Rams, fresh off a 12-0 shutout of Hampshire and 6-3 win over Palmer, clobbered Sabis 19-3 Wednesday.

Southwick’s Jake Goodreau led the offensive fireworks with a three-run homer. He finished with two hits and four RBIs. Andrew Mitchell (3 hits, 2 RBIs), Dan McClellan (2 hits, 2 walks, 2 RBIs), Bob Hamel (2 hits, RBI), and Brian Sheil (2 hits) also delivered at the plate for the Rams.

Sheil scattered six hits over five innings for Southwick. He struck out three, walked none, and allowed three runs.

Southwick has been delivering on all fronts over the last several days.

Mitchell scattered eight hits over seven innings for a complete game victory on the mound against Palmer. He struck out three batters, and walked three.

“He pitched really, really well,” Southwick coach Tim Karetka said.

Mitchell was backed by some solid bats from Hamel (3-for-3, bases-loaded walk), Vinnie Fortini (2-run single), Jake Goodreau (RBI single), and McClellan (double, RBI, run).

Southwick was able to get to highly-touted

Palmer pitcher Tyler Wilson, who has signed a letter of intent to play baseball at the University of Rhode Island in 2015.

“We really worked the pitch counts against him,” coach Karetka said.

Southwick also enjoyed a solid outing on the mound from Hamel, who pitched a fourhitter and struck out seven against Hampshire.

In that game, Brian Sheil led the offense with a 3-for-4 outing. He had two RBIs.

Bombers, Tigers solid at home

Westfield 4, Amherst 0 WESTFIELD – Westfield pitcher Kenny Mclean recorded seven strikeouts and walked one in a complete game effort at Bullens Field Wednesday.

Chris Sullivan went 2-for-3 with an RBI and Craig Lacey plated two baserunners with a base knock for Westfield. Bombers’ Brent Houle, Chris Riga, and Colin Dunn each had a base hit.

Westfield Voc-Tech 5, Franklin Tech 2 WESTFIELD – Nick Clegg had a strong pitching outing, going the distance for Voc-Tech.

Clegg helped himself at the plate with a 1-for-2 hitting performance with two walks and a run scored.

Walter Halluck and Tyler French had the team’s RBIs. Westfield Voc-Tech’s Tyler “Today’s strength was good French attempts to slide in safe- team defense,” Voc-Tech coach ly with the bases loaded early in Kyle Dulude said. “A lot of Wednesday’s game against plays (were) made by different Franklin Tech at Bullens Field. guys for a solid team win.”

French was ruled out on the St. Mary hosted Ware in the force at home plate. (Photo by night cap. Details were not Chris Putz) available as of press time.

Heartbroken Dear Annie: My boyfriend, “Joe,” and I have been together for five years. My son (from a previous relationship) and I moved away from family and friends to live with him. Shortly after moving, I became pregnant with our daughter.

At first, our relationship was perfect. Joe was sweet, kind and helpful. Now we get into a lot of disagreements that result in our not speaking for days. Worse, when Joe stops speaking to me, he also ignores my 7-year-old son, who looks up to Joe as a father figure. A year ago, I suggested counseling, but even though Joe agreed to go, he hasn’t found the time. Discussing it doesn’t help. Joe becomes defensive and closed off.

Here’s the current problem: I finally decided to go back to school, which is a wonderful opportunity for me. Although I’d like to move out, I cannot support my children while attending school, and there won’t be any help from family or friends. It means I must rely on Joe for childcare and housing. Is this horribly selfish of me to keep living with Joe for that purpose?

How can I explain this awkward arrangement to my two beautiful children? -- Heartbroken in Wisconsin Dear Wisconsin: People live with each other for a variety of reasons, including financial stability, and you don’t need to explain it to your young children. More importantly, is Joe willing to do this? Is there a chance the two of you will reconcile?

Please don’t lie to Joe. He should know that you want to go back to school so you can help support the family.

Ask him again to come with you for counseling to work on your relationship issues, but if he refuses, please go on your own. Your efforts to discuss things lead to defensiveness and entrenchment, and counseling will help you find better ways to communicate. It also will help you learn how to protect your son from Joe’s neglect, and that should be your primary concern.

Dear Annie: My sister, “Beth,” is five years older than I am.

While we get along well, we have never been close. She tends to be negative and judgmental. I check in with her monthly, and whenever I go home to visit my parents, I make sure to visit her and her kids. In the 20 years I have lived in my current place, she has never once visited.

I am now in my 50s and plan to marry a wonderful man this summer. I did not ask Beth to be in my wedding party, choosing close friends instead. Beth is now upset and refuses to speak to me. She might not attend the wedding. My parents are heartbroken, and I am at a loss to understand her reaction. Should I have considered my only sister before my friends? -- Surprised Sister Dear Surprised: While you are not obligated to have your sister in the wedding, it is customary to include siblings -- especially since you have only one and there is no enmity that makes her participation unwelcome. For the sake of family harmony (and your mother), please phone Beth and say, “I’m so sorry I didn’t ask you to be in my wedding party. It didn’t occur to me that you would want the fuss. But I would be so honored to have you stand up for me, and I hope you will.” She might refuse, but the gesture itself may mitigate the hard feelings.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Just One More Day,” whose family members had all passed away. It reminded me of something a friend said when I was complaining about some insignificant thing my mother had done that irritated me. He simply said, “I wish my mother was still alive so that I could be mad at her.” -- Just One More Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE Time for Lawn Care Dear Readers: Spring is here, and many homeowners are beginning to get outside to start working on the LAWN. Here are some hints to get the beautiful lawn you hope to have: * If you didn’t aerate the lawn in the fall, do so now. Remove all dead leaves and grass while pulling out any weeds. Look for twigs and other debris that may have accumulated during the winter. * Use a mulching lawn mower if you can, and mow only 1/3 off the top of the grass at a time. Don’t scalp the yard! * When you do water the lawn, the best time is in the morning. Of course, where you live and what the climate is will determine how often to water.

-- Heloise P.S.: Here in San Antonio, where I live, we are under severe water restrictions because of the horrible drought. So for us, not having a “green” lawn is not that big of a deal.

SHOWER CAP OVER SEAT Dear Heloise: I ride a bike instead of driving places. I always carry a shower cap with me, and I use it to cover the seat of my bicycle when I am not riding. This way, I don’t have to worry about the seat being dirty or wet when I sit on it. -- A Reader in New York

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Tap into your knowledge and listen to what is being said. Avoid personalizing comments, as you are more vulnerable than you have been in a while. Count on your imagination going to extremes, but know that a great idea could be the result. Tonight: Play it lowkey.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You might be overly concerned about a situation. Keep your long-term objectives in mind. You could be very interested in what goes on around a work-related matter. You also might decide to finally clear the air.

Tonight: Where the action is.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You have more at stake than you realize. You might be more creative on one level, yet on another level, you’ll see the role of structure in your life. A partner whom you thought you finally had an agreement with suddenly could change his or her mind. Tonight: Out late.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Let your mind wander, and worry a little less about form and what is appropriate. You can take a great idea and make it conform later. A brainstorming situation could cause a slight rift, as someone is likely to get a little too personal. Tonight: Be your expressive self.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Relate to a key person in your life directly. You might have difficulty getting through to this person on some level, so use this obstacle as an opportunity to open up to more creative modes of communication. You are bound to get a reaction. Tonight: Dinner for two.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You would be a lot happier if you allowed others to take the reins.

Consider everything you could do if you were less available and didn’t need to be present. You might catch up on your loved ones’ news or take part of the day off just for you. Tonight: Continue the theme.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might want to rethink a situation in your life. You have high ideals, and it is important for you to meet them. Be realistic in setting goals. A boss or someone you must be responsive to might have a pleasant surprise for you. Tonight: Be willing to share more.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Listen to your ingenuity, and you might be able to materialize a special idea. Be aware that there is a strong possibility that you could sabotage yourself. Make an effort to be more in touch with your anger. Your emotions often come out in strange ways. Tonight: Very fun to be with.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You might want to spend some time talking to a family member or roommate. Just because you are related or live in proximity does not mean that you can take each other for granted. It is important to make time for each other.

Tonight: Order in.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Return calls and see what is necessary to complete before the workweek ends. With some organization, you could leave on Friday afternoon feeling great. Your intuition is in high gear, as you seem to know who is calling before you even answer the phone. Tonight: Your treat.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You might not realize how possessive you can be. Make an effort to get past this issue. Your instincts could point to a money matter and taking a risk.

Still, be careful. If you are not right about this, you’ll want to make sure that

Cryptoquip

Crosswords

you can handle the damage. Tonight: Your treat.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You’ll feel as if you are unstoppable. You will be, and because of your charisma and drive, it is unlikely that anyone would want to stop you anyway. Check in with a friend or co-worker about an important get-together or meeting. Tonight: Use your imagination.
