City man arrested for arson By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A city man was arrested Tuesday on charges of attempted arson on a dwelling and willful ignition of an incendiary device. Nghe Van Ho, 57, formerly of Kellogg Street, Kellogg Street, was arrested by Westfield Police at 11:45 a.m. Tuesday in connection with an August 3 incident in which the Westfield Fire Department responded to a call claiming there was smoke in the basement at 34 Kellogg Street. Firefighters arrived and discovered a smoldering box in the basement and discovered a suspicious device in the box when they removed it to extinguish the fire. A joint investigation began between Westfield Police and the Fire and Investigative Unit of the state Fire Marshal’s Office, which determined that

By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD — While communities across the U.S. are drying out after unusually heavy rains swamped highways, flooded basements and were blamed for at least four deaths, Westfield only experienced a few instances of minor flooding. “I think we’re going to have our typical street flooding, but I don’t expect any major flooding from rivers or streams,” said Westfield Emergency Management Director James Wiggs yesterday morning. Asked what the potential problems would be, Wiggs said segments of Notre Dame Street and Union Street tend to have flooding issues, but that he didn’t anticipate any traffic issues. “We’ve done some work to help the drainage there,” he said. “So any time we get heavy rain, those areas tend to puddle a little bit.” This morning, Wiggs recapped the day and was pleased with how the city’s storm drains held up.

Transformer explosion causes power problems By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – Western Massachusetts Electric Company is still on the scene of an outage along Feeding Hills Road this afternoon. A transformer located across from Comark at 104 Feeding Hills Road blew up around 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, causing residents to lose power and the library to close early. Southwick Fire Chief Richard Anderson said the explosion was loud and high. “The transformer blew itself into the woods,” he said. “Wires came down between poles on the side of the road and it was arcing and sparking.” Firefighters cleared the area to keep people away from the wires while they worked to secure the area with WMECO. Anderson said the explosion was so bright “it was like the sun came out for a few minutes.” One home on Gagnon Terrace was See Transformer, Page 3
Paving raises flood plain issues By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Conservation Commission voted Tuesday night to initiate an enforcement order for a violation of the Wetlands Protection Act by the owners of the Westfield Shops on East Main Street. That action was approved after a commission member observed paving of the entryway located between the CVS Pharmacy and
Applebee’s Restaurant in violation of city, state and federal flood plain regulations. Commissioner George Martin, who witnessed the paving work, said the problem is that the shopping center owners, Devcon Enterprises (Devcon Shops, LLC) of West Hartford had failed to mill the existing asphalt before laying the new blacktop. The commission issued enforcement actions to the Westgate Plaza and the Salvation
Army, both in the flood plain along East Silver Street, when paving was being done. In both of those incidents, the old asphalt had been ground down so that the new pavement was at the same elevation. Both the Westgate Plaza and the Salvation Army were found to be compliant with the enforcement orders. See Paving, Page 3
School start date delayed By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – The first day of school for the Southwick-TollandGranville Regional School District has been bumped to Sept. 2 due to construction work. Superintendent John Barry notified parents last week of the change via phone message and a letter was posted on the district website. Opening day for grades one – 12 is Sept. 2, with preschool and kindergarten orientation the following day and kindergarten starts Sept. 4.
Barry said the last day of school has not changed and is set for June 12 if there are no snow days, and June 19 if there are five snow days. “We made some changes to professional development days and we are using Good Friday as a half-day so that it doesn’t change the last day,” said Barry. Construction on all three Southwick campus schools has forged ahead throughout the summer. While much of the project is ahead of schedule, some items set parts of the project back.
“We did not plan on having to change the calendar, but it became obvious in early August that if we did not make some changes there was the distinct possibility of a disorganized opening,” said Barry. Teachers are set to head back to their classrooms Aug. 27 and Teacher Professional Days are planned for Aug. 28 and 29. The planned open houses and staff collaboration days remain the same, and there will be no school See School, Page 3

City commission seeks to preserve historic cemetery By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Historical Commission will request tonight that the Community Preservation Committee allocate $30,000 to preserve and restore the Old Burying Ground where many of the city’s first settlers and founding families are interred. The Historical Commission estimates the total cost of the rehabilitation project for the cemetery, which is located off Mechanic Street, at $35,000. Many of the oldest stones have worn to the extent that all information has been erased by time and weather. The oldest legible stone is dated 1683. The Historic Commission submitted documentation, prepared by commissioner Cindy Gaylord, that indicates the significance of the Old Burying Grounds, with many of the headstones bearing family names that are recognized by residents today as the names of streets surrounding the downtown area. The cemetery is the final resting place of soldiers who served in the French and Indian War, as well as the Revolutionary and Civil wars. It holds the remains of colonial pastors, poets and senators. The Old Burying Ground records indicate that it holds 1,600 graves, but that only 1,100 remain because of weathering, ero-
sion, vandalism and breakage. The Historical Commission’s goal is to “repair, restore and preserve as many (head) stones as possible before they are lost forever.” The commission also seeks to open the historical site to the public as an education destination, related to the city’s history, for school children. The Old Burying Ground is listed on the National Register of Historic Sites. The commission, with the help of stonework professionals, has identified the stones with immediate need for both preservation and restoration. “This project will benefit the residents of Westfield because it is our hope to open this site as a beautiful, serene public park, rich in the city’s history,” Gaylord stated in the application document. “It will also be used for school trips for our elementary classes, as well as secondary students. We hope that it will become a destination for visitors to our city whose ancestors are buried there.” The Community Preservation Law required that portions of the money generated through a surtax on property, with matching state funding, be used for historic preservation, recreation and housing. The Historic Commission is seeking the CPC’s approval for both the historic preservation and recreational use of the rehabilitated site as a park.

WESTFIELD — Five years ago when Shannon Broderick was a Westfield High School Senior, she wanted to do something to help find the cause of and cure for the devastating autoimmune disease of Scleroderma, which her aunt has. She organized a Walk-A-Thon and on Saturday, September 21, Shannon and her family will be having The Fifth Annual Westfield Walk To Cure Scleroderma, which will be held rain or shine again from the Children’s Pavilion at Stanley Park, 400 Western Avenue, Westfield. Registration begins at 10 a.m., the 5K walk steps off at noon, and there is no registration fee or minimum pledge requirement to take part. Registration information, personalized web-based pledge pages through Convio and other details can be obtained at the Walk’s web site: www.scleroderma.org/steppingoutwestfield or by calling the Scleroderma Foundation New England Office toll-free at 888-525-0658. Individuals registering prior to the Walk and those setting up pledge pages will receive a free Walk t-shirt. Walkers also can register on the day of the Walk. Scleroderma is a chronic, often progressive, autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system attacks its own tissues. The disease, which literally means “hard skin,” can cause thickening and tightening of skin, as well as serious damage to internal organs. Scleroderma occurs three to four times more often in women than in men, and it also affects children. Its cause is not known and, presently, there is no cure. Proceeds from the Westfield Walk will support the SFNE in fulfilling its mission of: providing educational and emotional support to people with Scleroderma and their families; funding research to find a cure; and enhancing public awareness about this disease.

Colorado town sues all its voters over election CORTEZ, Colo. (AP) — The Colorado mountain town of Montezuma is suing its 61 registered voters in an effort to sort out the results of an April election that the lawsuit says was filled with errors. The Denver Post reports (http://goo.gl/ vfDSB6 ) that the lawsuit filed last week commands the voters to appear in court so a judge can examine the election results for mayor and town board. Twelve people ran for mayor and Lesley Davis won by three votes. There are claims that second-home owners participated, and Davis says 13 voters and at least two candidates were not residents of the town. She says the lawsuit is the only option to determine how to move forward. Several town residents have hired an attorney to challenge the lawsuit.

Patrick signs updated gun bill By STEVE LeBLANC Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Gov. Deval Patrick on Wednesday signed a sweeping overhaul of Massachusetts’ gun laws, a measure he said will help curb gun violence, protect families and build safer communities. The new law stiffens penalties for some gun-based crimes, creates a Webbased portal within the state Executive Office of Public Safety to allow for realtime background checks in private gun sales and calls for the creation of a firearms trafficking unit within the state police. It also gives local police chiefs the right to go to court to try to deny firearms identification cards needed to buy rifles or shotguns to people they feel are unsuitable to have access to the weapons. Police chiefs currently have the right to deny “licenses to carry” to individuals they feel are unsuitable to carry handguns. The new law retains that authority, but would require police chiefs to give written reasons for any applications they choose to deny. Their decisions would have to be based on public safety and could be appealed in court. Patrick signed the bill at a ceremony at the Statehouse.
“Our communities and our families are safer when irresponsible gun sales and use are reduced,” he said. Another part of the law mandates Massachusetts join the National Instant Background Check System, which requires the state to transmit information about substance abuse or mental health commitments to a federal database that police can use to review firearms applications. Patrick has praised the measure, despite the fact that lawmakers failed to include his proposal that would have limited individuals to the purchase of no more than one gun per month. The new law also increases the penalty for carrying a firearm on school grounds; increases the punishment for being armed with a firearm while carjacking; creates penalties for transporting firearms into the state for criminal activity or unlawful distribution; establishes penalties for gun dealers who fail to report a lost or stolen weapon and mandates that an individual whose license to carry firearms has been revoked, suspended or denied must surrender all guns in their possession. Work on the bill began last year after the 2012 mass school shooting that left 20 children and six adults dead at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown,
Connecticut. Massachusetts already has some of the strictest gun laws in the country. Other portions of the legislation are designed to improve security for students and teachers. The new law requires schools have access to two-way communication devices with police and fire departments and mandates school districts provide two hours of suicide awareness and prevention training to school personnel every three years. The law takes effect immediately. Patrick also signed into law Wednesday an economic development bill and a $2.2 billion, four-year environmental bond bill. Among the dozens of spending projects in the environmental bond law is $100 million for the dredging of Boston and New Bedford harbors and another $100 million for the Department of Conservation and Recreation for the design, construction and preservation of forests, parks, harbor islands and other recreational facilities. The law also is intended to help pave the way for construction of the New Bedford Marine Commerce Terminal, the first facility in the nation designed to help build, assemble, and deploy of offshore wind energy projects.

Jewish groups: U.N. chief biased on Gaza The Associated Press UNITED NATIONS — Leaders of major Jewish organizations on Wednesday accused U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon of being one-sided in his handling of the crisis in Gaza. A delegation of 11 Jewish organizations met with the U.N. chief to express their concerns, presenting a letter that listed what they said were 19 violations of international law by Hamas that have gone ignored, said Rabbi Marvin Hier, founder and dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish human rights group with an office in New York. Chief among their demands was a need for the U.N. to investigate rocket attacks by Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, on Israel’s civilian population, and Hamas’ use of U.N. schools. Rockets were found in three empty U.N. schools during the conflict. “We are deeply frustrated with the one-sided narrative that is being presented by the United Nations,” Hier said by phone, following the near-90 minute meeting with Ban. U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said: “The secretarygeneral reiterated that he fully understands Israel’s legitimate security concerns but also stressed the need to show restraint in their actions in Gaza so as to avoid civilian casualties.” “He also reminded them that he has, on many occasions, condemned the rocket attacks by Hamas into Israel as well as the tunnels,” Dujarric said in a statement. “The secretary-general told them that the nightmare of the last four weeks has been a terrible reminder that only a negotiated political settlement can bring security and peace to Israelis and Palestinians alike.” Ban has taken a tough stance on Israel, especially on the deadly attacks on U.N. schools that have been sheltering civilians. But he has also repeatedly demanded that Gaza stop firing rockets at Israel and blamed Hamas for violating an earlier cease-fire. Israel and the Palestinians have agreed to extend the current cease-fire for five days to allow time for more indirect negotiations, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said in a statement. The truce had been set to expire at midnight. Ban spent six days in the Middle East in July and countless hours on the phone with Israeli, Palestinian and other leaders trying to broker an end to the fighting. The Geneva-based U.N. Human Rights Council, which operates independently of the secretary-general, recently appointed a panel to investigate human rights violations related to the Israel and Hamas fighting. The Anti-Defamation League, one of the Jewish groups that attended the meeting with Ban, called the panel a “farce” with an outcome that is “all-but ordained.” Hier said the delegation was particularly concerned about a statement Ban made on Tuesday, when he said that the “fighting has raised serious questions about Israel’s respect for the principles of distinction and proportionality.” Those principles of international law require distinguishing between civilians and combatants, and responding proportionately to an attack. Palestinian and U.N. officials say more than 1,900 Palestinians have been killed in the fighting, the majority of them civilians. In his statement Tuesday, Ban noted that 459 Palestinian children were among the dead. On the Israeli side, 67 people have died, all but three of them soldiers. Israel’s critics say its reprisals for the rocket attacks are excessive. Israel says it does everything it can to avoid civilian casualties and blames Hamas for using civilians as human shields. “When that is expressed by the person who heads up the United Nations, I think, frankly, it emboldens Hamas and other groups like it, to continue to take a strategy that uses human shields,” said Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center.
Historic frenemies: Hillary joins the ranks By Todd S. Purdum Politico.com Hillary Clinton’s delineation of her foreign policy differences with Barack Obama — awkward and infelicitous as her words turned out to be — highlighted a time-honored quandary for would-be presidential successors of the same party: how to prove a new White House boss would be different from the old one, without seeming disloyal in the bargain. In 1952, Harry Truman was livid with his designated heir, Adlai Stevenson, for vowing to “clean up the mess in Washington,” a mess that Truman himself had presumably made. “I have come to the conclusion that you are embarrassed by having the President of the United States in your corner,” Truman wrote Stevenson in one of two scathing letters that remained unsent, adding for good measure in the second: “I’m telling you to take your crackpots, your high socialites with their noses in the air, run your campaign and win if you can.” By that yeasty standard, Clinton’s swipe that “ ‘Don’t do stupid stuff’ is not an organizing principle” worthy of a great nation’s foreign policy seems mild by comparison. But Clinton’s dilemma — how to distance herself from the increasingly unpopular president she served, yet might like to succeed — is real enough, and nothing new. Political heirs apparent as diverse as Hubert Humphrey and Al Gore have had to square the impossible circle of how to hug their patrons while pulling away from them at the same time. In 1968, Humphrey agonized over how to separate himself from Lyndon B. Johnson on Vietnam — an effort that Johnson himself repeatedly sabotaged. Humphrey finally made a speech in Salt Lake City calling for a cease-fire and an unconditional halt of American bombing of North Vietnam. The effort soothed the Democratic Party’s peaceniks but was widely seen as too little, too late, and Humphrey narrowly lost to Richard Nixon. (Also on POLITICO: Cocktail chatter with Barack and Hillary) “I suspect Hillary will separate herself whenever and wherever she thinks it will benefit her 2016 candidacy,” said Ted Van Dyk, who as a senior aide to Humphrey helped draft the Vietnam speech. “Obama’s feckless dithering has now become general knowledge, and I suspect Hillary will find ex post facto reasons to assert she would have pursued other courses.” Yet Van Dyk added there are risks to such a strategy. “A subtler person than Hillary might benefit from separations. But Obama, unpopular as he is, still has the potential to harm her ambitions (as, for instance, LBJ could harm Humphrey’s). She has to be careful lest she be seen once again as ‘Mean Hillary,’ prepared to roll over anyone in her way, including the president she served. There will be plenty of present and past administration officials who will nail her publicly if she moves too clumsily and obviously.” Clinton’s paramount standing — not only in the Democratic Party but on the global stage — makes her more akin to a sitting vice president, her party’s de facto No. 2, than simply a former Cabinet official. So her very stature makes even the slightest perceived disloyalty to Obama sting all the more. When George H.W. Bush accepted the GOP nomination in 1988 by calling for a “kinder, gentler nation,” that could be seen as a subtle suggestion that the booming market capitalism of the Reagan years had a cruel underside. But Bush was otherwise loyal to the point of omertà. “When a candidate who is seeking to distance themselves from, for lack of a better word, a benefactor, the problem is it becomes very quickly not about the substance of the disagreement but the phenomenon of disloyalty,” said Carter Eskew, the
DOD: Iraq evacuation mission may not be necessary By Philip Ewing Politico.com An operation to evacuate besieged Iraqi Yazidis “is far less likely” thanks to the effects of humanitarian aid and airstrikes, the Pentagon said this evening. Defense officials reached that conclusion after about 20 U.S. troops and aid workers flew Wednesday to Mount Sinjar, where the Yazidis have been trapped since fleeing from Sunni terrorists of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. “The team has assessed that there are far fewer Yazidis on Mount Sinjar than previously feared, in part because of the success of humanitarian airdrops, airstrikes on ISIL targets, the efforts of the Peshmerga and the ability of thousands of Yazidis to evacuate from the mountain each night over the last several days,” said Pentagon press secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby. He continued: “The Yazidis who remain are in better condition than previously believed and continue to have access to the food and water that we have dropped. Based on this assessment the interagency has deter‘The Yazidis who remain are in better condition mined that an evacuation mission is far less likely.” The Pentagon has not ruled anything out and humanitarian airdrops and than previously believed,’ Pentagon press secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby says. (AP Photo/Politico) airstrikes will continue, Kirby said.
veteran Democratic strategist who grappled with the problem as a top aide to Al Gore’s 2000 campaign. “So what’s the solution? I’ve become almost an absolutist, which is to follow George H.W. Bush, the best guy on political etiquette ever: ‘Whatever differences I have, you will never know them. They will always be between me and my president.’” Gore faced a situation that was even more complex than the one Hillary Clinton faces with Obama. Bill Clinton’s popular economic record and high approval ratings made him a formidable political asset (and one who polls suggested might well have won a third term, had the Constitution allowed it), even as his personal misjudgments and the impeachment scandal made him a liability. Gore was forced to straddle that reality for months, struggling to find a workable balance before finally accepting the Democratic nomination in Los Angeles by declaring, “I stand here tonight as my own man.” Paradoxically, Gore probably came closest to summing up his truest feelings on the subject in a comedy routine at the annual dinner of the Gridiron Club in March 2000. “In the broadest strokes, I plan to associate myself with the successes of the Clinton-Gore administration … while simultaneously distancing myself from the president’s personal mistakes,” Gore told the white-tie audience, adding, “Let me explain: The uninterrupted expansion of our economy is something I want Americans to associate with me. The Starr report, I want them not to associate with me. The lowest unemployment rate in 30 years: Clinton-Gore. Grand jury testimony: Clinton. “The largest deficits in our nation’s history turned into the largest surpluses: Clinton-Gore. The impeachment: Not me.” “Gore always had that problem of seeming ungrateful, that there was a sort of fratricidal element to it,” recalled Eli Attie, who wrote the Gridiron speech and is now a screenwriter in Hollywood. “And I think he was just never able to do it seamlessly.” “What that comedy routine gets at — and I think this may turn out to be a problem for Secretary Clinton, too — is that Gore tried 5,000 ways to get credit for the things the Clinton administration had done, and no one was really willing to give him much credit.” Despite public protestations of comity, team Obama has made it clear that it does not intend to take criticism — from Clinton, or anyone — lying down. And despite the president’s close and effective collaboration with the former secretary of state, a certain disdain — even contempt — for the tensions in the Clintons’ political organization and the messiness of their personal style — is woven deep into Obama’s DNA. It would be hard to imagine Obama ever doing anything overt to undermine a Clinton candidacy, even subconsciously, as many believe Johnson did to Hubert Humphrey, for example by failing to disclose to the public evidence of Nixon’s manipulation of the Paris peace talks in the weeks before the 1968 election. “LBJ’s interventions at the Chicago convention also truly messed it up for us,” recalled the Humphrey aide Van Dyk. “He sabotaged a peace plank which would have taken the issue off the table before the fall campaign began.” But it is also easy enough to imagine that the man who once pronounced Hillary Clinton “likable enough,” might yet have a backhanded compliment or two up his sleeve if tensions should rise. Clinton’s quick apology for any unintended offense — and her spokesman’s pledge that she looked forward to “hugging it out” with the president when they meet on Martha’s Vineyard is evidence enough of her own recognition that she must tread carefully. “The real challenge for Hillary is how much she can make it about the future,” said Attie. “The more she looks back, it will always be that kind of Shakespearean story. She needs to become the most forward-looking person who’s ever run.”

Flooding
Continued from Page 1
“We had some minor street flooding, but they drained pretty well and cleared up pretty quick. Just another day in the city, basically,” said Wiggs. “We got a lot of rain, but we’ve been doing a lot of work to make our drainage better. Obviously we still have some areas where people have to use caution, but there was nothing I was overly concerned about.” Wiggs added that the recent dry spell that hit the region would enable the ground to absorb a lot of the rainfall. Southwick Emergency Management Director Charles Dunlap said that flooding occurred in some areas he hadn’t expected it. “We had some minor road flooding, no major issues, and some water over the roads where we didn’t expect it. It was a minor surprise,” he said. “We had issues with tree branches on powerlines, too, which contributed to some power outages. We had primary powerlines down along Feeding Hills Road, between Hudson Drive and Garden Terrace, and Fred Jackson Road had a tree branch issue on a powerline.” Dunlap said the power outages took place from around 11:15 a.m. to 4 p.m., which resulted in businesses losing power and the Southwick Town Library being forced to close. He said that flooding occurred on both Hillside and Sunnyside Roads, and said that the brooks and streams took a significant amount of the rainwater and remained level. “I was very much aware of them (brooks and streams). We couldn’t have taken much more rain,” said Dunlap. The latest iteration of wild weather hit the northeast Tuesday night and lingered yesterday. A slow-moving system, powered by tropical moisture and clouds soaring far higher than in usual summer storms, lashed communities from Maryland to New
Roland “Rollie” A. Jacobs, 86, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, July 16, 2014. Raised in Hempstead, New York, Rollie’s long career in sportscasting began as an avid athlete, baseball player, and high school sportswriter. After serving in the US Navy at the end of WWII, he worked at the NY Daily News, where he decided that the future was in broadcasting. During this time, he was also invited to two tryouts with the Philadelphia Phillies baseball team. In 1951 Rollie began his first job in broadcasting as DJ at WFIN in Ohio, and later worked in radio in Newport, RI and Patchogue, NY. In 1957, he was hired at WWLPin Springfield, MA as sports caster and later sports director, a job he performed with enthusiasm and dedication until his retirement in 1984. After retirement, he remained active in the sports community announcing races at Riverside and Stafford Springs Speedways, emceeing many sports events, playing golf and helping numerous charitable and sports organizations. In spite of his local high profile, Rollie was always a humble man, dedicated to his church, family and community. Rollie is survived by his wife Eleanor “Elly” (nee Schrank) of 62 years, children Patricia Voyer, Kathy Gamache, and Roland and their spouses.He also leaves six grandchildren; Scott and Lynn Gonyer, Katherine and Ariana Voyer, and Shelby and Jackson Jacobs, and three great-grandchildren; Mia Gonyer, and Christopher and Sarah Gonyer. A Memorial Public Gathering for Rollie will be held on August 17, 2014 from 1:30 to 5:30 at the Firtion Adams Funeral Home, 76 Broad Street, Westfield. In lieu of flowers, contributions in his memory may be written to CSF Westfield Dollars for Scholars, (ATTN: Rollie Jacobs Memorial Scholarship) P.O.

England. “It’s not just how much rain fell, it’s how fast it fell,” Accuweather senior meteorologist Jack Boston said, calling the storm a once every 50 years event. “We’re talking about billions and billions of gallons of water and it all has to go somewhere.” The storm formed Tuesday south of Baltimore, according to Accuweather’s Boston, and hit that city with its highest rainfall total in 81 years. Roads were flooded, forcing several water rescues, and a sinkhole formed on an Anne Arundel County street. From there it swept across New Jersey — following a track similar to a typical winter storm — and dumped nearly 9 inches of rain in Millville, where a woman suffered broken ribs and a punctured lung when the walls of her basement collapsed due to flooding. Rain fell at a rate of up to 2 inches per hour in Rhode Island, stalling cars and sweeping manhole covers away.

ARTSLEISURE The Arts Beat By Mark Auerbach
Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike If you missed this laugh riot on Broadway or at Hartford Stage, you have one more chance to catch Christopher Durang’s very funny “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike” at Shakespeare and Company in Lenox through September 14. It’s great to see Durang in the winner’s circle again (“Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike” won the 2013 Tony Award for “Best Play”). 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. Durang combines parody, cynicism, pat-
ter, and gags with critical dissection of major issues including child abuse, the Catholic Church’s dogma and culture. 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 boy-toy, Spike, in tow. Masha says she’s in town for a costume party, but she’s really in town for other reasons. Cassandra, a house keeper turned soothsayer, and Nina, the girl-nextdoor, complicate an angst-ridden sibling reunion. Matthew Penn stages the Shakespeare and Company production, and Elizabeth Aspenleider, Shakespeare and Company’s Communications Director,
goes onstage as Masha. The cast also includes: Jim Frangione (Vanya), Mat Leonard (Spike), Angel Moore (Cassandra), Tod Randolph (Sonia) and Olivia Saccomanno (Nina). Aspenleider is thrilled to be onstage in “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike”. “Durang hasn’t left a stone unturned when it comes to measures of comedy and the human condition in this play,” said Aspenleider. “He plumbs the depths of our need to feel counted, connected and loved. To see this play unfold and to step into Masha has been a blast. It’s filled with hilarity, angst and so many unexpected heart-wrenching moments. The play is about connection – lost and found – about fami-

A Hatful of Rain Berkshire Theatre Group presents Michael V. Gazzo’s “A Hatful of Rain”, a poignant foray into the devastating effects of heroin in the life of a Korean War veteran at the Fitzpatrick Main Stage in Stockbridge (August 13-August 30). “A Hatful of Rain” opened on Broadway in 1955 with a powerhouse cast including Ben Gazzara, Shelley Winters, and Anthony Franciosa (who appeared in the 1957 film version, and was nominated for an Oscar). Greg Naughton (another member of the Naughton theatre family dynasty) directs. His dad, James Naughton is currently in the Berkshire Theatre Group’s “Cedars”, which is directed by his sister, Keira Naughton. Naughton, with music and theatre performance credits, is married to Kelli O’Hara, star of Broadway’s revival of “South Pacific”, productions of “The Sweet Smell of Success”, “the Pajama Game”, and “Nice Work If You Can Get It”, and last season’s “The Bridges of Madison County”. According to Greg Naughton, “”A Hatful of Rain” is best known these days as a scene-study staple for acting students. There have been very few significant productions since its premiere in 1955. But for 20 years, it has been occupying a large space in my imagination. A couple years ago I finally got a little workshop time with it, which only fueled my conviction that it is a ‘lost classic.’ his play about a PTSD case (before the term was coined) who returns

By Mike Augusti Correspondent HARTFORD – Fire, smoke and explosions rawked the Xfinity Theater in Hartford Sunday night when a group of painted-faced musicians came in to town and decided to take over. Masked men KISS brought along fellow rawkers Def Leppard for a full night of mayhem and some great music. Def Leppard opened their show by coming out to the music of The Who’s Won’t Get Fooled Again and then playing it live for the last verse of the song. I have to say, kind of a cool way to open the show and something a little different. Leppard’s set spanned their entire career and included classics such as Let it Go, Animal, Foolin’, Bringing on the Heartbreak, Rocket and Pour Some Sugar on Me. The Brits played for a little over an hour and generally seemed to go through the motions on this night. Their less-than-energetic set ended with a two-song encore of Rock of Ages and Photograph. KISS pulled a fairly new one out of their 40-year career to open the show with: Psycho Circus. The band then plowed through a mixed bag of KISS classics including Deuce, Shout it Out Loud, War Machine and Hotter Than Hell, when winged bass player Gene Simmons, aka the Demon, pulled out one of his many carnival tricks by actually breathing fire. I Love it Loud and Lick it Up came next followed by a Gene Simmons bass solo and carnival trick number two, spitting blood. During this solo and blood-spitting demonstration, some cables are supposed to lift Simmons up in to the rafters giving the effect of flying… well this trick didn’t work out so well as the Demon was left standing there without taking flight. Crew members quickly unhooked Simmons and the show went on with the song God of Thunder. The band kept plugging along after this mishap with the sappy Hide Your Heart (I am still not sure how this song makes the cut night after night) followed by some old school gems, Calling Dr. Love and Love Gun. During Love Gun, singer Stanley flies out over the audience to give the folks in the cheaper seats a little thrill. Black Diamond, Detroit Rock City and Rock and Roll All Night finished out the set. The night was made complete with a giant disco ball and streaming confetti everywhere as the band thank the crowd and walked off the stage. Having been a fan of KISS for many years, it has always been fun to see them live. The stage show alone is generally enough to keep me coming back. Although, I am not sure if KISS and Def Leppard are just tired of playing the exact same songs night after night, but tonight’s show lacked the energy one would expect from two of the biggest selling artists of all time. With good seats selling for just under $200 out of the box office, one would expect these bands to put something new in the sets that might not have been done before… maybe next time.

Hyper • Local
When it comes to 21st century multimedia platforms, “hyper local” is a term you hear a lot. It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newspapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore. But, day in and day out, The Westfield News provides consistant coverage of the stories you need to know about, that are important to your city, town, neighborhood and home.

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Missing Dad Dear Annie: My dad passed away three years ago. He was one of my best friends, and we shared a love of classic automobiles. The day Dad died, I chose to stay at work rather than go to the hospital. I run a business, and if I don’t work, I don’t get paid. That evening, when I tried to console my mother, she asked, “Where were you?” She refused to look at me, so I left. To my mother and her side of the family, it seems I am always doing the wrong thing. It was Dad who encouraged me to go my own way. My sister and her husband took over the sale of my mother’s house. I didn’t ask for anything. However, I do know classic car restorers and offered to help with the sale of my father’s cars when Mother said she wanted to get rid of them. When I found a potential buyer for one last month, Mother informed me that she had given the car to my sister as a thankyou for all the work she and her husband had done for her during the sale of her home. Supposedly, they are “restoring” the car and plan to keep it in the family. No one bothered to tell me. I was angry and upset. My friends all agree that my mother was wrong to give the car to my sister without telling me. I can no longer trust any of them, so either I let it go or cut ties. Who knows what else they’ve kept from me? If they truly cared about me, they would include me in family decisions. I was working on becoming closer to make up for our estrangement after Dad died, but now I feel betrayed. I am tired of paying for a debt I do not owe. -Missing Dad Dear Missing: You seem to be in complete opposition to your family. They say “left,” and you say “purple.” Perception means a great deal. When you stayed at work instead of being at your father’s side, your family interpreted that to mean you didn’t care. When your mother then gave you the cold shoulder, you should have apologized instead of leaving. From her perspective, if you don’t care, why should she give you the cars to restore? And you believe that because you and Dad shared a love of those cars, she should have given you a voice in the decision. You aren’t communicating in the same language, and your anger is clouding the issue. Before the estrangement becomes permanent, please see whether you can work on this. Ask Mom to go with you for counseling. We hope she will so you both can express yourselves with a mediator present to translate. Dear Annie: I have fibromyalgia and other medical problems and need counseling for depression. I am on disability, so my income is limited, and I am unable to drive. I was wondering whether you could help me. -- J. Dear J.: Please try one of these organizations: the National Fibromyalgia Association (fmaware.org); the American Chronic Pain Association (theacpa.org); United Way, YMCA and YWCA; the Samaritan Institute (samaritaninstitute.org); and Recovery International at lowselfhelpsystems.org. You also can find low-cost or free counseling through your local hospitals and university psychology and graduate-school counseling departments. Dear Annie: A while back, “Given Up Hope Out East” wrote that she was 50 years old and obese. She said she was happy and not going to diet anymore. It’s been months, and I haven’t been able to get her out of my mind. She needs to get busy and lose it before she gets older. I’m 75 and morbidly obese and certainly wish I’d gotten it under control when I was 50. It gets 10 times harder every year to lose weight. I’ve lost 30 pounds in the past six months, but it’s really hard. I still have almost 200 pounds to go. Tell her to get with it! -- Getting There
HINTS FROM HELOISE Solve the Softener Syndrome Dear Heloise: I saw the article in the San Antonio Express-News about not using FABRIC SOFTENERS when washing bath towels. I have been using fabric softener for some time, and I have noticed the problem and wondered why (Heloise here: Jim is referring to towels not being absorbent when too much liquid softener is used, or when dryer sheets are used every time). Would future washings without the softeners bring back the towels’ original absorbency, or is there a specific step that must be taken to do so? Or is it too late? -- Jim S. in Texas It’s not too late, Jim! Just wash the bath towels alone, with nothing else, add 1 cup of ammonia (no detergent) and run through a second rinse cycle. Fabric softener is OK if not overused, especially on towels. -- Heloise TAKE A PICTURE Dear Heloise: I have been lucky enough to receive floral arrangements several times a year from out-of-state relatives. I always take a quick picture and include it in the thank-you note that I write. It lets the sender see how beautiful the flowers are and if it’s what he or she requested. Sometimes I have found that the delivered flowers differed from the actual order. For example: My son, who hates carnations, always asks florists to make sure there are none in the arrangement, but then if he sees them in the picture, he can let them know. -- Mary D. in Tennessee

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Aug. 14, 2014: This year is the first year of a new 12-year luck cycle. Focus on your goals, and you will be able to manifest them more easily. If you are single and romance and being in a committed relationship are your desires, it is more than likely to happen. There will be many different potential suitors as you zero in on finding Mr. or Ms. Right. If you are attached, the two of you demonstrate a newfound closeness and a silliness that remind others of young love. You enjoy the energy that ARIES has, but you won’t want him or her to influence you too frequently. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You might notice that others are shielding themselves from you. Some people even might become exhausted after speaking with you! Be your spontaneous self, and reach out to those who enjoy your high-voltage ways. Tonight: You are top dog. Go for what you want. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HH You seem to be maintaining a low-key position and a laid-back attitude around others. You might not expect any uproar, but you do see the possibility of a lot of sudden change. You could gain unusual insight into someone you care about. Tonight: Get some extra zzz’s. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You’ll zero in on what you want. A meeting could allow greater give-and-take between you and someone else. You might be on the same page, but an unexpected twist could arise. Be aware of this person’s perceptions. Tonight: Out till the wee hours. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Take a deep breath before starting an important conversation. Be careful if it involves someone whom you feel you have to answer to. Don’t let a situation become too difficult; otherwise, you could be on the receiving end of a strong reaction. Tonight: Play it low-key. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You’ll be more than willing to try out a new idea or take a vacation to some strange land. You understand the value of offbeat situations opening up your mind. For now, all you might be able to do is find a restaurant with unusual cuisine. Tonight: Have a oneon-one chat. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You are very sure of a partner, and you feel extremely stable. Your confidence could be a result of your ability to tolerate whatever heads your way. Think about this when someone brings an unusual dynamic into your life. Tonight: Do your own thing. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Others continue to dominate your plans, regardless of what you might have decided your priorities would be. You work well with others, but know what will happen if this becomes a pattern: You could become resentful. Be careful. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You will want to move through a problem more quickly than is possible. Relax with a slower pace. An element of disruption could surround your day. Understand that the unexpected might prove to be more exciting. Tonight: Release stress through some exercise. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You’ll come up with one good idea after another. Your creativity seems to flow in many different directions. A loved one will delight in your imaginative flights of fancy. Make some delightful plans in the near future. Tonight: Act like the weekend is already here. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Stay centered and close to home, if possible. You even might consider working from home or taking a personal day. You are likely to have a lot of events coming down the pike. Zero in on your needs once more. Deal with one person directly. Tonight: Follow the music. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Make calls and listen to what others share. You will need to unravel some personal issues or a grudge. A

loved one is a source of excellent advice, and he or she is likely to pitch in and help. Don’t let anyone rain on your parade. Tonight: Meet up with a favorite person. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH A daily issue keeps arising, and you’ll need to clear it out. Don’t forget to make an appointment for a checkup with your doctor. You might feel frustrated by the lack of returned calls from a certain someone. Tonight: Treat yourself to a new wardrobe item.

0145 Trucks
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The New England Patriots have acquired injured lineman Jerel Worthy from the Green Bay Packers in a trade pending a physical for the defensive end. The Patriots will get a still-to-be announced draft pick, the NFL said Wednesday. Worthy’s agent, Chafie Fields, wrote on Twitter Tuesday night, “Will help Pats D-line right away.” General manager Ted Thompson declined comment Wednesday at Lambeau Field, citing “agreements with other teams and things like that.” Worthy had been placed on the non-football injury list. He spent much of 2013 on injured reserve with a knee injury. The Packers traded up in the 2012 draft to take Worthy in the second round out of Michigan State. He had 2½ sacks and 23 tackles in 14 games that season, starting four. Worthy apparently wasn’t aware he was about to be traded when speaking to reporters Tuesday afternoon. Thompson had “a great plan for me.” “I’ve done everything that I can possibly do with the training staff and with the strength and conditioning guys. They’ve done a great job of prepping me for this moment,’ Worthy said Tuesday at his locker, “I’ve just got to trust the process.”
