WHIP CITY WHITE
By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – Selectman Joseph Deedy has been videotaping the Board of Selectmen meetings since June, but they are not posted for public viewing – yet. Deedy is using his own equipment to record them and said it’s “a work in progress.” For now, the recordings are stored on Deedy’s personal computer, but he hopes they can be posted on the town website in the future. Deedy said he is still working out some inconsistencies with the video and sound. “The first one has no audio, and the second and third videos have sound but they’re not quite in sync,” he said. Deedy said when fellow selectman Joseph Tracy Cesan was elected, she tried to coorDeedy dinate the taping of the meeting but had no luck getting volunteers to help. “It was a great idea,” said Deedy, “So I decided to try it this way.” Deedy said he spoke with the town’s computer technician Jim Middleton about uploading the video to www.southwickma.org, but found out it could not happen right now. “To do video on demand or streaming is another package from our web host provider,” said Middleton. “We do not have the capability to do it now.” Middleton said if the Board of Selectmen chose to include that service as part of its web package, it would likely cost $3,000 and up. The service is renewed annually and could be added on easily. Middleton suggested it could be included in the town’s cable access schedule but a lack of staff to spend the time editing and uploading was probably a deterrent. See Video, Page 3
Local mom, daughter set for ‘Dance Moms’ By Justine Murphy Correspondent WESTFIELD — For Loree Cloud and her daughter Jade, dancing is life; it’s in their blood. So when they heard about auditions for the Lifetime network show, “Dance Moms,” they almost immediately signed up. Cloud, owner and director of the New England Dance and Gymnastics Centers that has locations in Westfield and Granby, Conn., and 15-year old Jade attended the show auditions in New York City, alongside thousands of others. This was only one of several such auditions being held nationwide and online, but the local pair remained optimistic. “It went from thousands of dancers down to 500. Then down to 300. And [Jade] kept making the cut,” Cloud said. “But we initially thought, ‘What are the chances that they pick us?’” Chosen as finalists after the initial audition, they went through the next steps in the process—in-person interviews, Skype interviews and solo dance auditions. According to Cloud, the judging panel (including the show’s star, professional dancer and studio director Abby Lee Miller) was partial to Jade because of her
skill and talents in all forms of dance and tumbling, from ballet and tap to hip-hop and gymnastics, and everything in between. Once the process was done, life went back to normal for the Clouds. Dance classes continued, as did dance competitions. Then the call came. “Jade was just jumping up and down, screaming,” Cloud said. They soon traveled to Los Angeles earlier this year to make their first appearance on the show (at the end of season 4). They will continue on as cast members throughout season 5. Taping began several weeks ago and wrapped up earlier this week. It was hectic, Cloud said. Jade was in dance classes and competitions all day, basically every day, as Cloud and the other moms spent a lot of time together, talking, watching rehearsals and sitting in on classes—all while several cameras followed nearly every move. “Having the cameras on us all the time was hard at first. They saw everything, they heard everything,” Cloud said. “But you get used to it. After a few days, it was like they See Dance Moms, Page 3

Rare white squirrel spotted in Wyben By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Black squirrels, uncommon in many places, are not unusual in the Whip City but now a new rarity has been spotted in Wyben – a white squirrel. George Fanion of Wyben reports that a couple of weeks ago some of his neighbors mentioned seeing a white squirrel in their neighborhood but he didn’t think much about it until one appeared outside his living room window. “I looked out one day and bingo, – there was a white squirrel,” he said. Since then, Fanion said, at least one white squirrel has been visiting his bird feeder recently. “I’m feeding him bird seed and he’s eating like crazy,” Fanion said yesterday afternoon while speaking on the phone and simultaneously watching the squirrel eat from the bird feeder outside his window. He thinks there are two because he has seen one which appears to be smaller but added “I’m not positive that there’s a second one.” Seth Kellogg of Southwick, a wild-

“One can pay back the loan of gold,
By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The state has recognized the success of the Westfield Gas & Electric Department’s energy conservation program for both residential and commercial customers by awarding the municipal utility a $235,000 grant to further that energy efficiency effort. This marks the second year the local utility has been recognized with grant funding for its energy conservation programs. Governor Deval Patrick announced that Westfield was one of 14 communities served by municipal utilities receiving the grant “to expand cost savings and environmental benefits.” A total of $1.78 million was awarded to municipal utilities with money collected through the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). The utilities could apply for a maximum grant total of $250,000. “With these grants, the Patrick administration continues to expand the number of households, businesses and communities that participate in energy efficiency,” said Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Maeve Vallely Bartlett. “Energy efficiency is our first fuel for a reason; it provides energy, environmental and economic benefits.” The grants, funded with proceeds from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) auction, will leverage more than $1.8 million in MLPfunded energy efficiency programs, save participants more than $1.2 million in energy costs and have projected annual energy savings of nearly 8.3 million kWh, enough electricity to power nearly 1,100 Massachusetts homes, and to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to removing 705 cars from the road.

Massachusetts House lawmakers approve sweeping gun bill By STEVE LeBLANC Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts House lawmakers approved a sweeping bill yesterday designed to tighten the state’s gun laws. The bill, which passed on a 112-38 vote, would strengthen local police chiefs’ discretion over issuing firearms identification cards needed for the purchase of rifles or shotguns, much like the discretion they currently have over issuing licenses to carry concealed weapons. The bill would require police chiefs to give written reasons for denying gun licenses. Their decisions would have to be based on public safety and could be appealed in court. The measure would also create a web-based portal within the state Executive Office of Public Safety to allow for real-time background checks in private gun sales and would stiffen penalties for some gun-based crimes.
See Gun Bill Hightlights, Page 3 In addition, it would create a firearms trafficking unit within the State Police. The bill now heads to the Massachusetts Senate. Supporters hope to win final passage in both branches and get the legislation to Gov. Deval Patrick before the formal legislative session ends July 31. Jim Wallace, head of the Massachusetts Gun Owners Action League, said the group supports the changes in the bill related to gun owners, particularly the requirement that police chiefs state in writing their reasons for denying licenses. “Now the burden is on the chief to prove us suitable rather than us proving ourselves suitable and that’s a big difference in court,” Wallace said. John Rosenthal of the group Stop Handgun
Violence said he was thrilled with the bill. “This is a huge win,” Rosenthal said, pointing to the portion of the bill giving police chiefs more authority over issuing firearms identification cards needed for the purchase of rifles. Rosenthal said he also supports the portion of the bill requiring Massachusetts to join the National Instant Background Check System and transmit information, including any substance abuse or mental health commitments, to a federal database for use by police in reviewing firearms applications. Nothing in the bill would create a gun registry, but the bill would require gun owners, when they renew their licenses, to state that to the best of their knowledge they have not had any guns lost or stolen from their possession since their last license renewal. House Speaker Robert DeLeo, D-Winthrop, called the bill “historic.”
The bill also seeks to improve safety at schools by requiring each district to develop plans to address the mental health needs of students and faculty and to have access to two-way communication devices with police and fire departments for use during emergencies. Districts would be required to have a school resource officer to provide law enforcement and security services on campuses. 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. The legislation would also require school districts to provide two hours of suicide awareness and prevention training to school personnel every three years and mandate that the Public Health Department collect and report on suicides in the state. House lawmakers said the majority of gun-related deaths are suicides.

Pig threatens children walking through Maine woods OAKLAND, Maine (AP) — Police in the Maine town of Oakland are looking for a pig that threatened two children walking through the woods. Capt. Rick Stubbert tells the Morning Sentinel (http://bit.ly/1w4FF9U) that the children were walking along a trail in the wooded area between the local middle school and the high school at about 1:45 p.m. Tuesday when the pig confronted them “screaming at the kids and chasing them.” The children were so frightened they flagged down a police officer. Police did not disclose their age. Officers, including animal control, responded to the scene, and although they found tracks that confirmed the pig was real, they didn’t find the animal. Stubbert says he doesn’t know where the pig came from or why it might have been acting aggressively.

Howard said. “The money received will be used to further our efforts of installing energy efficient technologies across multiple projects in the city,” Howard said. “The Westfield Gas and Electric has run a successful energy efficiency program for both our residential and commercial customers for several years and we are pleased to see those programs receive the recognition and now funding from the state.” “This grant, combined with our existing programs, helps all of Westfield achieve economic sustainability for our customers. It’s all about keeping business here and strengthening our local economy,”Howard said. WG&E Energy Specialist Sean Fitzgerald worked with city and WSU officials to determine the scope of work which will be performed through the RGGI grant funding. Fitzgerald estimates that over 40,000 less kilowatt hours of electricity will be used in the small gymnasium which is used mainly by the intramural department, and savings of over 22,000 kilowatt hours around campus. “These are pretty substantial savings. The college has identified 90 different opportunities to start making the campus more efficient,” he continued. “We’ve cherry-picked some good projects because we think they’d be good paybacks.”

will be used for municipal energy efficiency projects to reduce taxpayer-funded energy bills. “The Patrick administration has been a leader in reducing energy use and emissions, aided in large part by the clean energy leadership of cities and towns” said Department of Energy Resources (DOER) Acting Commissioner Meg Lusardi. “These grants will help ensure that more Massachusetts residents and businesses served by municipal utilities can improve their homes and worksites, use less energy and save money while also protecting our environment.” WG&E General Manager Dan Howard, speaking at the July 2, 2014 Municipal Light Board said the utility submitted application for $50,000 to upgrade the city’s Wastewater Treatment Plant equipment; $50,000 for retrofitting lighting fixtures at the Woodward Gymnasium on the campus of Westfield State University; $50,000 to i9nitiate a “Smart Grid” technology demonstration; and $100,000 to expand the Energy Efficiency (EE) program outreach to small business and local contractors. “Once this latest grant offering was announced, the Westfield Gas and Electric, in a collaborative effort with the City Advancement Office, Business Improvement District (BID), and City Council, quickly worked together to submit the best application possible,”

“We’re looking at efficiency as responsible, financial stewards of our money, working with Westfield G&E applying for a grant to do other types of upgrades that will save energy, as well,” said University Vice President Dr. Kimberly Tobin. “As part of their rebate program, the money we gain from that will be reinvested into further moneysaving initiatives related to energy.” “We commit almost $1 million a year (to energy conservation programs),” Fitzgerald said. “All utilities pay a portion of their rate to compensate for greenhouse gases, CO2, which is pumped into the air. That money is put back into programs to reduce energy consumption. “Our commercial and industrial program is so big, helping those customers to reduce their energy consumption,” he said. The energy conservation program begins with an energy use assessment, and then a comprehensive energy audit used in identifying energy conservation measures that work for the specific power customer. “We look at everything: lighting, compressors, heating and air conditioning, pumps, drives, systems that can be energy hogs, trying to find more efficient systems to reduce consumption,” Fitzgerald said. “We have a grant program to replace those inefficient systems with efficient systems.”

Booker, Paul join on ‘common sense’ By Sarah Smith Politico.com The Senate’s favorite odd couple touted what they dub “common sense” solutions to crime reform — and their bipartisan friendship. “A lot of folks are already starting to say in a growing bipartisan chorus: Enough is enough,” Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) told Politico’s Chief White House Correspondent Mike Allen at Politico’s Playbook Cocktails event Wednesday at the Newseum. Booker and his new partner, Rand Paul (R-Ky.), are pushing the REDEEM Act to change the country’s criminal justice system. Included in the proposed legislation are proposals to keep children away from the adult criminal justice system, seal or expunge records of juveniles who committed nonviolent crimes and helps make a path for adults with nonviolent offenses to seal their criminal records. Paul said he’d met with colleagues across the aisle — including President Barack Obama, who he said seemed interested in the ideas the two proposed. “Frankly, I complimented him on some of the pardons he’s done,” Paul said. “Often the Republicans aren’t complimenting the president very often.” They addressed injustices in the current criminal justice system, focusing on young people who were caught with marijuana and, thanks to mandatory minimums, sentenced to what they believed to be unfairly long terms in prison. “It’s no longer this juxtaposition between tough on crime and public safety,” Booker said. “You can be tough on crime and lower recidivism rates by doing common sense things.” The two also talked about their friendship, to applause throughout the room. “I’m just wondering if we could get a reality show and if Ethics would allow us to get any compensation,” Paul joked. They used their friendship and collaboration as an example for a government that’s been widely dubbed as too partisan to get anything done. Paul criticized each party for overreaching on deals instead of compromising; Booker, for his part, got agitated over too much talk on parties and too little talk on issues. “Why don’t we stop talking about party and start talking about the real issues?” Booker demanded. At the Playbook event, Paul and Booker covered a variety of issues — and steadfastly declined to answer political questions like their opinions on the immigration crisis and the fate of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. They discussed minority outreach, technology and innovation for low-income communities — during which Booker mentioned the benefit of the free market. Paul leaned forward. “Maybe you could become a Republican,” he said. “You said ‘free market.’”

Obama goes after GOP on immigration By Edward-Isaac Dovere and Katie Glueck Politico.com President Barack Obama on Wednesday called on Congress to swiftly approve nearly $4 billion meant to address the influx of child migrants crossing the southwestern border, using this as a new opportunity to hit House Republicans for failing to pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill. “There’s a very simple question here. Congress needs to just pass the supplemental,” Obama said in Dallas after meeting with Texas Republican Gov. Rick Perry to discuss the humanitarian crisis. What he offered was, essentially, the Obama-Perry border crisis plan — at least according to Obama. And now, Obama said, it’s up to Perry to convince Texas Republicans, whom he said should then bring along the rest of Congressional Republicans. Saying that “nothing that the governor indicated he’d like to see that I have a philosophical objection to,” Obama held up Perry’s claimed support to repeatedly bash Republicans for not moving more quickly to pass the supplemental funding request the White House submitted Tuesday — and for not agreeing to
comprehensive immigration reform, which he said could have prevented the crisis from ever happening in the first place. “What I emphasized to the governor is the problem here is not a major disagreement around the actions that could be helpful in dealing with the problem,” Obama said. “The challenge is: is Congress prepared to act to put the resources in place to get this done? “They’ve said they want to see a solution, the supplemental offers them the way,” Obama added. Obama made several sly allusions to the resistance of Texas Republicans, including Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz, who were among the senators who on Wednesday criticizing the president for holding fundraisers in Texas without making a trip to the border. Cruz, particularly, seemed to be on Obama’s mind as he referred to the Texas delegation’s “great influence in the Senate.” In a statement issued after they met but just before the president spoke, Perry offered a somewhat different version of where they’d left things.

Lerner cautioned against email chatter amid probes By Rachael Bade Politico.com Former IRS official Lois Lerner said she warned her colleagues to be careful about what they write in emails amid congressional inquiries, according to new emails released by House Oversight Republicans. She also asked whether the IRS’s internal messaging system could be searched, in the same email to an IRS colleague. It was sent April 9, 2013, less than two weeks after the IRS inspector general that unearthed the tea party targeting practice shared a draft report with the agency. “I was cautioning folks about email and how we have had several occasions where Congress has asked for emails and there has been an electronic search for responsive emails — so we need to be cautious about what we say in emails,” she wrote to Maria Hooke, the director of business systems planning for the tax-exempt division. “Someone asked if OCS conversations were also searchable — I don’t know. … Do you know?” The emails are the latest fodder released by Republicans in their case against Lerner, who led the IRS tax-exempt unit that singled out tea party groups for added scrutiny. The practice was blasted by the inspector general last year, leading to a major shakeup at the tax agency. Lerner’s lost emails have revived the year-plus-long controversy, though Democrats say Republicans are on a witch hunt to find an elusive tie to the White House. OCS, the acronym in the email, is the agency’s internal communication system, panel staff said — like instant messaging. The email did not mention the investigation then being conducted by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration. It was sent a month before Lerner broke the news of the tea party targeting at a law conference, not mentioning what congressional inquiries she was concerned about. Republicans latched onto the correspondence to accuse Lerner of trying to hide IRS information from investigators and also chided the IRS for only now telling the panel that there is a whole other method in which agents could communicate. “For her to be worried right on the heels of this draft IG report that Congress may search her instant messages. … That is very troubling,” said Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) Lerner’s lawyer did not immediately respond to requests for comment. IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, speaking at the hearing on improper government payments, said he was not there to defend Lerner, who has asserted her Fifth Amendment right not to testify before Congress twice and been held in contempt of Congress by the House since. He also cautioned IRS employees from doing anything that could be portrayed as obstructing congressional investigations, though he would not directly comment on what he thought of the new Lerner email. “I’m not here to defend Lois Lerner. I’ve never met her. She doesn’t work at the IRS anymore,” he said, later adding: “No one should do anything to evade oversight.” For the most part, Democrats defended the IRS. Koskinen noted that he is not aware of any IRS official deliberately destroying emails and said that the agency has submitted nearly 1 million pages of documents to Congress. The latest emails come weeks after the IRS told lawmakers it lost two years worth of Lerner’s emails between 2009 and 2011, covering the first year the IRS began pulling “tea party” groups applying for tax exemptions for extra scrutiny. Hooke in the email chain responded to Lerner and cc’d Nan Downing, the head of exempt organizations examinations:
“OSC messages are not set to automatically save as the standard; however the functionality exists within the software. … My general recommendation is to treat the conservation as if it could/is being saved somewhere as it is possible for either party of the conversation to retain the information and have it turn up as part of an electric search.” The emails were shared Wednesday at an Oversight hearing unrelated to the IRS scandal. Koskinen had volunteered to appear after Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) asked him to rectify “apparent discrepancies between your claims that Ms. Lerner fully maintained her official records and statements by her attorney that she did not and that it was not her responsibility.” “You testified to the committee that Ms. Lerner kept a printed archive of federal records from her email, thus leaving you unsure if she ever fell out of compliance with the Federal Records Act,” he wrote in a July 2 letter. “On the other hand, Ms. Lerner’s attorney stated that she did not think she was required to maintain a printed archive and blamed Lerner’s subordinates for any loss of records.” Lerner attorney William Taylor, prior to the hearing, walked back previous comments he made to Politico that Lerner did not print off and file her official emails because she didn’t know she had to. In an interview last month, he said she did not, later following up with an email, writing: “Did she print out official records and file them[?] Answer. No, and she did not think it was required.” Now he says she may have printed an unspecified number. “During her tenure as director of exempt organizations, she did print out some emails, although not every one of the thousands she sent and received,” he said in a statement Wednesday. The IRS rules require that all “official” emails — any correspondence dealing with agency policies or operations — be printed off and filed in accordance with the Federal Records Act. As head of a division, many of Lerner’s emails would presumably have been “official.” Taylor, in an email exchange after the statement was released, said his answer to Politico’s original question in the interview several weeks ago stays the same: “Your question was whether she printed out ‘official records’ and filed them. I am not saying she did that. That presumes a level of scrutiny and process over every email that did not occur.” He said his beef is with the way Issa has used the comments to say she did not print out any emails. “That is not true. She did print some but not all, by any means,” he said. Taylor in the earlier interview said that “if somebody is supposed to keep archived copies, that’s the IT department’s or her staff’s responsibility.” He said such a rule would require her to print off a whole bunch of emails, and “we’d be back to the days of paper. That can’t be what they want or intended by this.” “If she didn’t [print], it wasn’t because she tried to conceal anything.” Taylor also chided the panel for trying to stick Lerner with a Federal Records Act violation: “What began as an inquiry into the IRS’s processing of applications for tax exemption has become an inquiry into the IRS’s compliance with the Federal Records Act. This subsequent inquiry is apparently a useful diversion because the initial investigation has demonstrated no wrongdoing.”

Missing tuber identified as Vermont woman DEERFIELD, Mass. (AP) — The woman who died while tubing down the Deerfield River in western Massachusetts last weekend has been identified as Vermont resident. Authorities say the woman who went missing while tubing with friends in Conway on Sunday and whose body was recovered downstream in Deerfield on Tuesday was 24-year-old Molly Dowd of Gilbertville, Vermont. The Northwestern district attorney’s office says the state medical examiner confirmed the body’s identity. The cause of death remains under investigation, but is not considered suspicious. Although using inner tubes to float down the Franklin County river is a popular summertime activity, Conway Fire Chief Robert Baker said the area where Dowd went missing is just downstream from a dam where there are strong currents and turbulent waters.

Morgan James headlines the Talcott Mountain Music Festival. Meanwhile, the Boston Pops with Keith Lockhart conducting, hit Tanglewood on Sunday, July 13, and Jason Alexander, best known as George Constanza on “Seinfeld” is guest soloist. The Tony Award winner will perform elections from “Pippin” and “The Music Man” along with a few surprises. Alexander’s depiction of George Costanza on “Seinfeld” earned him six Emmys, four Golden Globe nominations, an American Television Award and two American Comedy Awards. For his work on the long-running sitcom, the Screen Actors Guild knighted him “Best Actor in a Comedy Series,” while TV Guide readers voted him among the ten greatest television characters of all time.

Sharr White: Hot American Playwright The young American playwright Sharr White is being noticed in theatres nationwide. Mary Louise Parker starred in his most recent
MIchelle Joyner Broadway play, “The Snow Geese” last season. “The Other Place”, White’s other Broadway hit, is getting accolades everywhere. Marg Helgenberger starred in the Barrington Stage production a few weeks ago. TheatreWorks in Hartford presented the play this Spring. Now comes “Annapurna”. Megan (“Will and Grace”) Mullally and husband Nick Offerman co-starred as the estranged lovers in the OffBroadway production last month. The Chester Theatre Company brings “Annapurna” to the neighborhood from July 10-20. Westfield native Michelle Joyner stars with Daniel Riordan, and Robert Egan, Joyner’s off-stage husband, directs. Chester Theatre Company Artistic Director Byam Stevens says, “Sharr White is a young American writer with a fast-rising international pro-
file. In the past year he has had Broadway, Off Broadway, European and Australian productions. He has a unique and unmistakable gift for crackling dialogue that veers back and forth from the hilarious to the poetic. The result is a play with depth that is a fun ride.” White’s play is set in the present. Twenty years ago, in the middle of the night, Emma (Michelle Joyner) walked out on Ulysses (Daniel Riordan), her cowboy-poet husband. Now, hearing he’s in dire straits, she tracks him down to a trailer park in the wilds of Colorado where she finds him hooked to an oxygen tank and cooking sausages in the buff. Their reunion, alternately comic and conflicted, is full of razor sharp wit and brutal honesty. For tickets: 413-354-7770 or www.chestertheatre.org.

Frayn’s best known theatrical works, “Noises Off” and “Copenhagen”, are wildly different, one being an hilarious farce and the other a drama about one of the most serious topics of modern history, the evolution of the atomic bomb in WWII “Benefactors” is a drama focusing on the lives of four middle age Londoner’s (David Adkins, Corinna May, Walton Wilson and Barbara Sims) searching for their role as meaningful contributors in a society in rapid flux in the late 1960′s.” For tickets: 413298-5576 or www.berkshiretheatregroup.org. ***Julius Caesar, Shakespeare’s potent and bloody historical drama, has joined the repertory at Shakespeare and Company in Lenox through August 30. Tina Packer’s staging comes to Lenox after performance runs in Orlando and Prague. Seven actors play multiple roles in this poetry-filled psychological and political thriller. “Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar offers a remarkably accurate reflection of what actually occurred during the reign of Caesar,” says Packer. “He was a famous and highly regarded general, a terrific warrior and strategist, a writer and great thinker, who supported the common people. He changed the course of Roman history.” For tickets: 413-637-3353 or www.shakespeare.org. ***Very Good Eddie, Jerome Kern’s early 20th century vaudeville musical, gets a concert performance as part of The Berkshire Theatre Group’s free Monday afternoon Ellenoff Musical Theatre Series on July 14 at 2 p.m., at The Colonial Theatre in Pittsfield.

Review: ‘A Little Night Music’ at Berkshire Theatre Group By MARK AUERBACH Correspondent PITTSFIELD – For Sondheim fans and musical theatre aficionados, “A Little Night Music” is a midsummer night’s dream. Its ingredients add up to one of the most elegant, classy and timeless musicals ever. A score full of lush Stephen Sondheim waltzes and crisp lyrics; a smart adaptation of Ingmar Bergman’s “Smiles of a Summer Night” by Hugh Wheeler, and a plot full of swooning characters falling all over themselves as they fall victims to the follies of love add up to pure pleasure. Sondheim and Wheeler, with the help of producer/ director Harold Prince, brought “A Little Night Music” to Broadway in 1973, where it became a big hit, thanks to its score and “Send in The Clowns”, its most recognized hit. It’s but one of a handful of wonderful noble and sentimental waltzes in the musical. The exuberant “A Weekend in The Country”, the common sense “The Miller’s Son”, and the ethereal “Liasions” are as potent. Imagine an elegant Swedish country house, where a famed actress of a certain age (Maureen O’Flynn) and her mother (Penny Fuller) invite a host of people linked together in multi-layered liasons. A lawyer (Gregg Edelman), once in love with the actress, brings his new, much younger, still-virgin wife (Phillipa Soo), and his seminarian son (Matt Dengler) for a weekend in the country. The actress’ current lover, an egomaniac military officer (Graham Rowat), and his longsuffering wife (Kate Baldwin) arrive uninvited. Up-and-coming director Ethan Heard gives “A Little Night Music” a contemporary pace, and Alex Sanchez’s choreography lifts the show’s opening “Night Waltz”. Nathan Dame’s musical direction brings out the best in Sondheim’s rich score, and an 11-piece orchestra navigates Jonathan Tunick’s orchestrations beautifully. Reid Thompson’s sets are simple, yet evocative of Boris Aronson’s originals, where sliding panels of trees create unique playing spaces. David Murin’s costumes are summery and elegant, and Oliver Wason’s lighting conjures the glow of a late summer sunset. Brendan F. Doyle’s sound design could use some tweaking, as the orchestra drowned out some of Sondheim’s best lyrics in places. The cast of Broadway veterans offer some ravishing performances, and the stand-outs include Kate Baldwin as the long-suffering countess, Gregg Edelman as the lawyer Egerman and Matt Dengler as his seething son Henrik. I liked Graham Rowat’s self-absorbed dragoon and Monique Barbee as the maid, Petra, who seeks out passion “in the moment”. Penny Fuller’s rendering of “Liaisons” is compelling. The role of the grand actress Desiree has defined the careers of many actresses who have played her, among them original Glynis Johns, Judi Dench, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Bernadette Peters, and Elizabeth Taylor (who played Desiree in the film version which did little justice to the musical nor Miss Taylor). Berkshires native and opera star Maureen O’Flynn returns to Pittsfield to play Desiree here. Her rendering of “Send in The Clowns” is lovely, but placed among musical theatre

Obituaries Edmund Normantowicz WESTFIELD - Edmund “Geezil” Normantowicz, 90, of Westfield, died Tuesday, July 8, 2014. He was born in Westfield on December 26, 1923 to Anthoni and Camelia (Markowski) Normantowicz. He was educated in the Westfield school system and graduated from Westfield Trade School. Geezil needed three letters of recommendation to join the Tenth Mountain Division during WW II. His sponsors were Ernest Morrill, Dr. Schoolmaker and Walter Burek. He served in the Ski Troops in Italy in the North Apennines and the Po Valley. He received the Good Conduct Medal, European African and Middle Eastern Campaign Medal with two Bronze Stars, WW II Victory Medal, Marksman Badge and Riffle and Machine Gun Bar. He served under General George Hayes. The Tenth Mountain Division remains as the only military division recruited by a civilian organization, The National Ski Patrol.

He was a member of American Legion Post 124, the Italian Fraternal Club, Slovaks Citizens Club, the National and the New England Chapter of the Tenth Mountain Division and the International Federation of Mountain Soldiers.

“Five hundred miles south of here in the Rio Grande Valley there is a humanitarian crisis unfolding that has been created by bad public policy, in particular the failure to secure the border,” Perry said. “Securing the border is attainable, and the president needs to commit the resources necessary to get this done.” Most of Obama’s remarks were a direct hammering of Republicans, using this as an opportunity to emphasize again and again the message that he’s been trying to push all year: he’s interested in
finding solutions to problems, but the Republicans are only interested in politics, saying no to him and attacking him for whatever he is doing. Obama called this a “test case” for House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), who has focused criticism on Obama’s use of executive powers of late to the point of threatening a lawsuit. “This is something you say is important — as I do. This is something that you have prioritized — as I have. Don’t wait for me to take executive actions,” Obama said.

Babe Ruth 15s evade Wachusett, lightning By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – It was an odd evening of ball at Bullens Field yesterday, as distant lightning halted play late in the Babe Ruth 15-year-old state tournament matchup between host Westfield and visiting Wachusett. Once play resumed, Westfield would regain it’s early inning form en route to a 7-2 victory, a win which ensures a date with Worcester’s North Side team Saturday, a squad they’ve already bested 3-0. “The kids stayed loose during the delay,
and that really did it for them,” said Westfield coach Don Murray on how his team managed to keep it’s composure despite the seasonably unfavorable weather conditions. As had been the case for much of this summer’s baseball action in Westfield, the home team’s pitching was dominant, with starter Brett Turban and reliever Jake Calapietro throwing gas which Wachusett was ill equipped to handle. “Brett gave us five strong innings, and Calapietro came in and finished it,” said Murray, adding that Calapietro keyed each of
the team’s offensive surges. “Jake also got three hits and three RBIs for us and came out of his slump a little bit.” Other important lineup contributors for Westfield included Liam Whitman, Stephan Kaol, and Nick Clegg, who each notched hits in the scorebook for the boys from Bullens. Turban stated that the most important factors in his team’s performance was staying warm and loose during the delay. “We just worked through it. You’ve got to stay warmed up and do the best you can when there is a delay,” he said.
When asked of how the 15-year-olds will fare Saturday in the City of Seven Hills, the Westfield Skipper and his ace are confident and optimistic. “We feel good. We feel we can go in there and beat them,” said Murray, with Turban echoing his coach’s sentiments. “We’re going in there with confidence, obviously,” he said. “We’re 2-0 and we’re feeling good.”

Humason volleyball bill passes Senate By Peter Francis Staff Writer BOSTON – The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is noted around the world for being the birthplace of two of the most popular team sports around the globe: basketball and volleyball. Both sports, created in the Hampden County cities of Holyoke (volleyball) and Springfield (basketball), are among the most played games on earth, and while basketball holds the title of Bay State’s official sport, volleyball has now been granted a state title all it’s own. Yesterday the Massachusetts State Senate passed “An Act designating Volleyball as the official recreational and team sport of the Commonwealth” by a margin of 39-0, a bill which was filed originally by former Sen. Michael R. Knapik and has been ressurected and coaxed forward by Sen. Don Humason, Jr. (R-Westfield), whose 2nd Hampden-Hampshire District encompasses Holyoke. See Humason, Page 11
Agawam halts Westfield American By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Despite a furious late game comeback attempt, highlighted by a three-run home run from Andrew Pellegrini, the 11-12 year old Westfield American little leaguers fell short of visiting Agawam by a score of 9-6 at Cross Street Field Wednesday. The loss extinguished any chance of a district championship showdown between American and their crosstown rival Westfield National, who were busy pummeling Northampton 8-0 at Paper Mill Field. National will take it’s undefeated 5-0 record into their Friday championship bout with Agawam, whose only blemish on it’s 4-1 record is a loss to the Paper Mill powerhouse. After the Cross Street contest, Westfield American Coach Brian Scanlon was proud of his players, and touted their valiant comeback effort. “That three-run homer in the fifth inning was to get us from 8-3 to 8-6,” he said of Pellegrini’s late-game blast, which was also his only hit of the night. “He played really well.” Elsewhere in the lineup, Tanner Koziol and Colin Scanlon both went two for three on the night, with Koziol chipping in two singles and Scanlon registering a double See Agawam, Page 11

Red Sox rally to snap skid
All three tournament teams are ready to play
By JIMMY GOLEN AP Sports Writer BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox weren’t getting much done this season. That’s why the defending World Series champions turned to their youth. With five rookies in the starting lineup, the last-place Red Sox chased Chicago ace Chris Sale and rallied from a four-run deficit to beat the White Sox 5-4 on Wednesday night. The victory snapped Boston’s four-game losing streak. “Once we got Sale out of the game, then we were able to create opportunities,” Red Sox manager John Farrell said. “Tip your hat to a very, very good pitcher. But we didn’t roll over by any means.” Sale had allowed just four hits when he left the game with two outs in the eighth inning and a 4-0 lead. But Jake Petricka faced four batters and couldn’t get an out, and by the time Javy Guerra (0-1) retired Mike Carp to end the eighth it was 4-3. With one out in the ninth, Guerra hit Mookie Betts — who was playing his sixth major league game — and then gave up a double to pinch-hitter Daniel Nava. Brock Holt, another rookie, singled for the first walk-off hit of his career. The win was just the second for Boston in its last nine games. “We were able to finish it off, which is something we haven’t been able to do recently,” Holt said. “So it’s a good feeling.” Sale is in contention for the last spot on the AL All-Star team, a fan vote that will be announced Thursday. An All-Star the last two seasons, the left-hander walked none and struck out six before his bullpen cost him a chance to improve to 9-1. “Put that all on me. I’ve got to go in there and shut the door,” Guerra said. “He deserves a win every time he throws the ball that way. The guy’s special. He deserves a win.” Koji Uehara (5-2), who was added to the AL All-Star team earlier Wednesday, earned the win. Jose Abreu and Conor Gillaspie homered to help stake Chicago, which had won three straight, to a 4-0 lead. Sale did not allow a runner to reach third base until the eighth, when Betts led off with an odd double — he beat out

an infield single and took second when he noticed no one was covering — then moved up on a groundout. After getting Holt to ground out, Sale was replaced by Petricka and the Red Sox saw their chance. “He’s one of the best pitchers in the game,” Nava said. “Whether he’s an All-Star or not, he’s an All-Star-caliber pitcher.” Abreu hit a solo homer to deep center field in the first inning, his 28th of the season. Only Mark McGwire, who had 33 homers at the 1987 All-Star break, hit more in the first half of his rookie season. Gillaspie added a solo shot in the second, and the White Sox made it 3-0 when he doubled and scored in the fourth. Tyler Flowers and Adam Eaton had consecutive doubles in the seventh to make it 4-0. It stayed that way until White Sox manager Robin Ventura pulled Sale with two outs in the eighth, and Petricka couldn’t get an out. The Red Sox had a few good plays in the field, though, thanks largely to their young players. It was the earliest in the season the Red Sox have started five rookies in a game since 1952. Rookie center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. made a diving catch of Flowers’ line drive in the second. In the seventh, Eaton doubled off the Green Monster, with the ball coming down off left fielder Jonny Gomes’ nose. Gomes retrieved it and made a throw that was relayed by rookie third baseman Xander Bogaerts to catcher Christian Vazquez, who was making his major-league debut. Gomes spent the rest of the half-inning plugging his nose with his undershirt, apparently to keep it from bleeding, but remained in the game. NOTES: Vazquez was called up to replace C A.J. Pierzynski, who was designated for assignment. ... Sale would be the first White Sox pitcher to make three straight All-Star teams since Jack McDowell in 1991-93. ... Uehara was named to the All-Star team as a replacement for Yankees starter Masihiro Tanaka, who was placed on the DL on Wednesday.... Rubby De La Rosa, who was recalled from Triple-A earlier Wednesday, gave up three runs and six hits, striking out three in five innings.

Westfield National convincing in victory By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Last night Paper Mill Field was the site of a convincing win, as the 11-12-year-old Westfield National Little leaguers topped visiting Northampton 8-0 to advance to the district final. That championship contest will be played against Agawam, a team it already defeated 4-2 in pool play. “It wasn’t overwhelming, but a lot of our hits were two-out singles with runners on, which was key,” said National coach Billy Lamirande, whose team registered over 10 hits on the night. “No one stood out like in our other games, but we still got the job done.” National’s bread and butter on the night was their work on the mound, as pitcher Mikey Hall was a buzzsaw for the home team, giving up only one hit to the visitors.
Asked of who will pitch in the title game against Agawam, Lamirande said there are two pitchers he can choose from. “We’re not sure who is going yet. We have Kevin Pallack, who threw against Agawam last game and beat them, and we have Ethan Flaherty who finished the game tonight and has already got a no-hitter in this tournament against Southwick,” said Lamirande, before going on to describe his pitching staff’s embarrassment of riches. “Kevin Pallack is a very good pitcher. He shut down the Agawam team that was putting up anywhere from eight to 10 runs a game, and Ethan Flaherty’s thrown a couple no-hitters this year and struck out 15 in the last game of the regular season. They’re rested and they’re healthy.” National’s date with Agawam in the district championship is set for tomorrow at Paper Mill.

Post 124 boosts record to 13-4 By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – In a makeup contest originally scheduled for last week, Westfield’s Post 124 topped visiting Longmeadow 3-0 at Westfield State University last night. The win puts them in fine position heading into postseason play, earning them a first round bye in the upcoming western Mass. playoffs, which begin Sunday. Post 124′s last regular season game will again be against Longmeadow tomorrow and should Westfield prevail, they would earn an additional second round bye until the tournament’s double elimination round, set to begin on July 16. Post 124 rode starting pitcher Brent Houle and his seven strikeouts to the win, with Westfield State’s Matt Plasse and WHS’ Matt Irzyk coming in for relief. “He’s kind of on a semi-limited basis, but he went five innings,” said Westfield coach Don Irzyk, who also highlighted his team’s offensive performance. “We got our first run in the second inning, second run in the third,
and an insurance run in the sixth.” Westfield High School’s Houle would prove to be a difference-maker on the mound and on the basepaths, reaching base on an error and advancing to third base after an attempt to catch him stealing second went awry. He would then break the 0-0 tie by scoring on a wild pitch shortly thereafter. Chris Riga and Jake Toomey, both of Westfield High, would have big nights at the plate for the home squad, too. Irzyk couldn’t downplay the significance of the win, as his team gathers momentum heading into a Longmeadow rematch to close out the regular season tomorrow. “You’ve got to like the win. There’s no question we needed to turn it around. Monday (against Post 21) was an awful performance on our part,” Irzyk said. “But we made the most of limited opportunities, for lack of a better word, tonight. The pitching made it stand up, so that was the key.” Tomorrow’s game against Longmeadow will be played at Longmeadow High School at 5:45 p.m.

“I promised during my campaign for office last fall to work to pass this bill,” Humason said. “Massachusetts should be proud to be the birthplace of two great American sports, Volleyball and Basketball, which also enjoy popularity and are played all over the world.” The brainchild of William G. Morgan, then-physical director of the Holyoke YMCA, in 1895, “mintonette” as volleyball was then called, was created as an alternative to basketball, and the sport only grew from there. In a release, Humason stated that volleyball is the world’s second most popular sport today, after soccer. “Volleyball is played recreationally by millions of enthusiasts of all ages,” Humason said. “With the great success of world competitions such as the Olympic Games, the popularity of the sport continues to grow exponentially.” With the act passed resoundingly by the Senate, and the “volleyball” now in the House’s court, a bipartisan, bicameral effort has been launched by Humason in enlisting the help of Holyoke’s current representative, Democrat Aaron Vega of the 5th Hampden District, to lobby his colleagues to give volleyball it’s due as the Bay State’s official recreational and team sport. The effort has been greatly appreciated by Holyoke’s volleyball community thus far. “The Volleyball Hall of Fame provides the opportunity to bring people from different cultures and different parts of the world to Massachusetts to celebrate the sport” said HOF Executive Director George Mulry. “With the passage of bill S.1627, the Senate made a statement that tourism is important to the Commonwealth. This designation furthers our quest for increased national and international support resulting in increased tourism dollars for the Commonwealth.”

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Should I try to explain how I feel? Dear Annie: I am a 42-year-old single man who has never been married or even been in a relationship. I’m perfectly content with this, but apparently, the people in my life are not. The truth is, I am not nor have I ever been attracted to either sex. I don’t know whether there is something seriously wrong with me, or whether there is even a name for what I am. I realized I was different in middle school when all my friends became interested in dating, but I couldn’t care less. I figured it would eventually change, but it never did. In my senior year in high school, I confessed this to my best friend, who told me I was a freak. I never mentioned it again to anyone. There is no underlying factor for why I am like I am. I was not abused as a child, and I had a great relationship with my parents and siblings. I can be affectionate, and I enjoy giving hugs to the people I love. I can recognize that someone is attractive, but the idea of being intimate doesn’t appeal to me. I accepted this a long time ago and feel comfortable in my skin. Over the years when someone tried to fix me up with someone, I always declined or came up with an excuse. Now everyone thinks I’m gay and in the closet. Let me be clear, I firmly believe your sexual orientation is determined when you’re born. I also believe my lack of an orientation was also determined at birth. It has nothing to do with being straight or gay. I seriously have no idea how to deal with this. Should I just stay silent and let them think what they want, or should I try to explain how I feel? Please don’t recommend counseling. I don’t feel abnormal. Not being physically attracted seems normal. -Conflicted in Kentucky Dear Conflicted: There is a name for this. You are asexual -not interested in physical intimacy with either sex. More importantly, there is a support group for you at AVEN at asexuality.org. Dear Annie: I read your response to “Concerned Old Man in West Hills,” who didn’t understand why his niece was upset when he told her she was fat. You said it was rude to comment on one’s appearance. Why in hell do you think pointing out that someone is fat is so rude? They are obese, and they are killing themselves. What’s the big deal in saying so? I am 78 years old and weigh the same as I did in high school through effort and sacrifice. Give me a break! -- Not a Rude Guy, Just Honest Dear Not: The fact that something may be true does not make it less rude. Would you say, “My goodness, that’s an ugly baby!” or “You are really unattractive”? It is not OK to disparage someone’s size when they already know they are heavy, and you have no idea whether there are underlying reasons or whether they’ve been working hard on it. It can be especially galling when someone who never has had a weight problem thinks he knows enough to pass judgment. More importantly, it doesn’t help the other person lose weight, so being rude is simply a form of self-indulgence. Whatever effort and sacrifice you put into maintaining your weight might now be put to good use learning to be kinder. Dear Annie: My heart broke after reading the letter from “Lonely in Love,” whose husband doesn’t pay any attention to her after three years of marriage. As someone who has been in the same situation, I thought you gave her good advice. I’d like to add that she should give herself a timeline for change. Otherwise, she will just be older and lonelier with less self-esteem. -- Been There, Suffered That in Ventura, Calif. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.
HINTS FROM HELOISE TOO HOT Dear Heloise: Even in the summer, when my kids are sick, they only want soup to eat. The soup is too hot to eat right off the stove, so I always add one or two ice cubes before serving it to them. This makes the soup ready to eat. -Stephanie W., via email This hint is great any time of year to keep little ones (or even some bigger people) from burning themselves, and I have many more hints, along with soup recipes, available in my Heloise’s Spectacular Soups pamphlet. To order one, please send $5 and a long, selfaddressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Soup, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Take leftover soup, pour it into ice-cube trays, freeze and use these “ice cubes” at a later date to cool down soup without diluting the flavor. -Heloise MARKED BUTTER Dear Heloise: Here is a baking/ cooking hint that I recently discovered: When I take out a new stick of margarine or butter for my butter dish, I partially take off the wrapper. I then take a butter knife and make indents by each of the tablespoon markings on the wrapper before removing it completely. When I need a specific number of tablespoons, I just count off the markings to measure. -- Gerri S. in Florida

SCARY GARY
Mark Buford
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, July 10, 2014: This year you might naturally overindulge and dote on others. When you reverse gears, which will happen at times, you could receive a snub or anger. Look at the monsters you could be creating. Use exercise and mediation to curb a tendency to over-worry. Worry only wears you down. If you are single, others are drawn to you. Make sure your sweetie of choice is emotionally available. Your caring style could attract people very different from you. Consider the type of relationship you want. Tame possessiveness, which could be a factor after mid-July, if attached. You as a couple opt to split from your daily life as often as you can to go off together alone. These occasions add to the power and strength of the relationship. Passion flares during these periods, adding to your bond. Try instigating an old-fashioned date night more often. Respect your differences, especially around your domestic life. The solution might be neither of yours, but one that addresses your issues. CAPRICORN needs security just as you do, but they approach this seeming necessity differently. Stop and learn from each other.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You easily could toss an associate into a tizzy, as he or she does not understand what you are doing. This person will approach you directly in his or her time. A family member means well. You are far more optimistic because of the support you get from your immediate circle. Tonight: Think weekend plans. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You could be questioning the value of a certain relationship in your life. Is this a phase or long term? You cannot be sure just yet. Listen to another person’s thoughts, but stay noncommittal if need be. You speak your mind as much as you can. Tonight: Your words seem to turn a situation much more in your favor. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You are full of information, and others seem to recognize that fact. Many of your callers seek out your thoughts as well as what you know. Let your ingenuity break through any problem that appears. Use care with spending. Tonight: Go with the moment. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You are still in a very fortunate phase where the unexpected seems to fall in your favor. Be willing to express your true needs. A family member could be cantankerous. You see a situation involving funds as awkward. Tonight: Clear out errands. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Your more playful side emerges when dealing with a difficult child or loved one. A friend means well and asks valid questions, even if you feel uncomfortable. Another person’s generous nature could make you feel rather uncomfortable. Tonight: Help lighten up another person’s mood. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Your sensitivities often take you to strange places, which might be difficult to discuss. You have a lot to consider involving your finances. Take charge of a problem and handle it. Your imagination helps you zero in on what you want. Tonight: Happily heading home. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You will defend yourself vigorously if attacked or perceive that you were attacked. You feel cared about in a domestic situation and/or with family. Try to meet your expectations rather than those of others. Curb a tendency to overindulge. Tonight: At home. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Don’t take an unnecessary risk with funds.

Tonight: Pay bills first. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You could be surprised by another person’s energy as exhibited in a meeting. Be smart, and don’t try to control anyone. Just let everyone else be. Your intuition is right-on about a partner or joint financial matter. Tonight: Getting into the moment. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could sense a situation is building that you would prefer not to deal with. You might need to make an appointment with a doctor or dentist.

HHHH Friends nearly always surround you. Today a friend could dominate a situation more than you might like. Let this person see the interaction as you do by sharing more openly. Use your energy to accomplish what you must. Tonight: Be impulsive! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You might not be in a position where you can be frivolous. You often strive to make a certain impression. Do not take down months of hard work with a moment of silliness or craziness. Maintain a perspective. Creatively postpone some fun. Tonight: Follow your pals.

following safety guidelines whether caught outside during a thunderstorm or in the safety of your home: • Seek shelter when a thunderstorm is approaching (you are much safer indoors or inside an enclosed car). • Avoid tall, isolated structures, such as tall, single trees or flag poles; don’t hold a “lightning rod” such as a golf club, umbrella, or tent pole. • Stay away from open fields, open structures or vehicles, or contact with conductive material, such as computers, teleCan You Help Sarah? phones, water pipes, or fences. • Avoid being near, on, or in water. • Turn off, unplug, and stay away from electrical appliances, televisions, computers and power tools. Stay away from windows, fireplaces and water pipes and drains. • Do not use the telephone. Dr. Schmidt noted that there has been some discussion in the media over the past years that iPods or similar devices during storms can attract lightning-strike injuries. www.sarahgillett.org “The true concern is that when lightning strikes an iPod or other metal device, the metal conducts the electricity resulting in more serious harm caused by contact burns from these items,” he said. The American College of Emergency Physicians also suggests following the “3030 Rule:” seek shelter if you hear thunder within 30 seconds of the lightning flash. Then, wait at least 30 minutes after the last lighting flash or thunder to resume normal activity. If you see a person struck by lightning, call 9-1-1 immediately and begin CPR if the Want To Know A Secret? victim is not breathing. Ask Sarah.

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.
