Senior shows no signs of slowing

By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – After moving to Minnesota a short while ago, it takes a major event for Kim Daniels to venture to Massachusetts these days.

This week marked a special occasion though, one she wouldn’t miss.

Daniels’ grandfather, Franklin Estes of Westfield, was turning 98 years old Tuesday, and her only worry was that she wouldn’t be able to keep up with him.

“I get tired if I work outside for an hour,” joked Daniels as she sat beside her Grandpa during a rare moment when he wasn’t manicuring his property or running errands – activities that are a distant memory for most his age.

Asked whether he is the oldest resident in the city’s Hampden Village neighborhood, Estes said he doesn’t doubt it.

“I think so. I think I’d be the oldest anywhere,” he said with a giggle that belies his age.

“I’ve actually met a few people in their 90s around.”

Ilnicky and Cathie Iglesias, senior Katie Nesmelova, and sophomore Vitaliy Melnik – who helped Red Cross workers with donors.

“I like giving back to the community, whether it’s here at a blood drive or helping out at the police station,” said Nesmelova. “Our big thing is to get people to sign up for You Lead because our group has gotten a lot smaller. We have about 15 or 20 in the (You Lead) program.”

“It feels great helping out the community. Next year, we’re going to have four blood drives,” said Melnik, before attesting to the need for the You Lead program to regenerate itself. “We had five or six seniors leave this year.”

As for the need for blood donations, Jecoliah Ellis, external communications manager for the Massachusetts Red Cross, said the need for blood units is “critical” at the moment.

“The American Red Cross is facing a looming blood shortage, which is leading to an urgent need for donors of all blood types,” said Ellis, urging Bay Staters to roll up their sleeves and donate.

“Donations through the Red Cross are down approximately 8 percent over the last 11 weeks, and that’s resulting in about 80,000 fewer donations nationwide,” she said. “To prevent emergency shortages and an adequate supply all summer long, we especially need platelet donors with type O negative, type E negative, and type A negative blood.”

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Gaslight District Project is anticipated to begin in earnest next week as the coordination effort to minimize the disruption of city services to downtown residents and business progresses.

City Engineer Mark Cressotti said the $5.9 million Gas Light District Improvement Projec, anticipated to begin in June, will pick up steam.

“It’s been a really slow start because we’re trying to be surgical out of sensitivity to residents and businesses downtown,” Cressotti said. “Every week for the past month we’ve been told it will start next week. We’ve been told, again, it will begin next week.”

MARK CRESSOTTI The Gas Light District is the neighborhood between Elm and Washington streets and between Court and Franklin streets. The project will upgrade infrastructure to improve the quality of life for residents within the district.

The project is also intended to position the city for economic development downtown. Cressotti said the present infrastructure is inadequate to support economic development and in many cases is failing, which has a direct impact on residents in the district because of interruption of water and sewer services.

“What is unusual is that we’re replacing the sewer lines. The city doesn’t typically do that, but in this instance we have to take out and replace those lines because there is significant inflow and infiltration of ground water,” Cressotti said. “There is also an issue of asbestos pipes sitting in high ground water.”

The city has allocated $3.3 million to replace sewers in the district. City Engineer Mark Cressotti requested the use of the city’s Inflow & Infiltration (I&I) account funds to replace the existing sewer infrastructure, some of the oldest sewers in the city, and to perform associated work to tie buildings and homes into the new sewer system.

The Board of Public Works voted in May to award the contract to Gagliarducci Construction Inc. of Springfield.

The contractor will replace water and sewer lines, as well as bury overhead utilities and repave streets and off-street parking lots in the neighborhood designated as the Gas Light District.

“There are a lot of stakeholders, residents, building owners, businesses, even the city’s off-street parking because those lots between Franklin and School streets

Students hold blood drive

By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Students from the “You Lead” Program at Westfield Vocational-Technical High School were in a large room just inside the Amelia Park Ice Arena doorway, receiving blood donations to give to the American Red Cross.

The group collected 54 lifesaving units of blood at closing time, and over the past eight years, blood drives at the arena have collected almost 400 units.

“We’re a student-run organization aimed at trying to create better environments for our community and our school,” said Megan Ilnicky, a recent WVTHS graduate who has been involved with the program since her sophomore year. “We’re a drug and alcohol-free program and do community service events where we run blood drives partnering with the United Way and Red Cross.”

“The community has already done so much for me at Voke that I always feel like giving back. It’s always nice to help out other people, because you never know when you’ll be in a time of need,” she said.

You Lead has put on numerous events that have drawn large crowds and raised large sums of money for some noble causes, including a car wash to help a local girl who was stricken with a rare form of cancer, and assisting the Westfield Police Department on several occasions, such as with the first Run Westfield 5K Race in memory of fallen WPD Officer Jose Torres.

You Lead was represented by four students on the afternoon – graduates

Random sticker checks net violations

By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – Two days of unannounced spot checks at the town transfer station found numerous violations.

Department of Public Works Director Randy Brown said he worked with the Southwick Police Department to conduct the operation.

“Every vehicle was checked,” said Brown. “We did it now because the fiscal year started July 1 and residents need a new sticker to use the transfer station.”

Vehicles were checked Saturday, July 26 and Tuesday, July 29. Every vehicle that enters the transfer station should have a current sticker adhered to it. Brown said at least one person was discovered sharing the sticker with someone else.

Transfer station stickers are $100 for the fiscal year, with a $28 charge

for a secondary vehicle in the same household. Senior citizen stickers are $50, and there are prorated fees for those who purchase a sticker halfway through the year. A one day pass and a recycling only sticker are also available.

The surprise check is something Brown plans to do again.

“This is something we will do regularly,” he said. “We have had about 60 people buy stickers since Saturday.”

Although those without a valid sticker were turned away at the gate during the random checks, Brown said they were allowed to purchase them online and were admitted into the station with proof of purchase.

Brown said there are two options to purchase stickers.

“Transfer station stickers can be purchased online through the town website and a sticker will be mailed

the next business day,” said Brown, “or they can be purchased at the town clerk’s office.”

Police were present to “keep the peace” during the checks, said Brown.

The officers took the opportunity to do checks of their own.

“They found several cars with bad inspection stickers and other issues,” Brown said.

The station sticker allows residents to bring household trash and recyclable materials for disposal. Additional fees apply for items outside the realm of regular trash, including a $20 fee for each television or computer, $10 for a freezer, air conditioner or refrigerator, $20 for large appliances, $16 for a mattress or box spring, $5 for each propane tank, and $5 per dismounted tire (up to four).

A complete list of regulations, hours and fees is available at www. southwickma.org.

The driver of the vehicle called his wife to deliver the trailer registration plate of which he left in the garage.

Night-time assault case moves to Hampden Superior Court

By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A city man saw assault charges dismissed in Westfield District Court yesterday but will answer for the same offenses in Hampden Superior Court.

The charges – armed assault during a burglary, breaking and entering in the nighttime with intent to commit a felony, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, assault with a dangerous weapon and threatening to commit a crime – stem from a May 18, 2014 incident at General Shepard Apartments.

At 3:16 a.m. that day a resident told an emergency dispatcher that she had awakened to find a man dressed in black standing over her husband holding a knife from her kitchen.

She later told a responding police officer

JASON D. HANNUM that her husband woke when she screamed and grabbed for the knife, struggling with the man who, according to both residents, repeat-

edly yelled that he was going to kill them. The male resident suffered a cut in the struggle but was not seriously injured and the intruder fled.

Officers responding to the call spotted the man dressed in black and, after a brief foot chase through Monroe Street backyards, Jason D. Hannum, 25, of 59 King St., was taken into custody.

The victims were taken separately to view the man and both positively identified Hannum as the man who had threatened to kill them.

Police subsequently found that the man had gained entry to the first floor apartment via a laundry room window.

Hannum was initially held without right to bail when he was arraigned in Westfield District Court and after the subsequent dan-

gerousness hearing he continued to be held.

In a court document explaining the reasons for ordering pretrial detention, First Justice Philip A. Contnat wrote “The overriding factor, in the Court’s mind, in support of pretrial detention, is the extremely violent nature of the underlying charges.”

Noting that neither victim had ever seen Hannum before he appeared in their bedroom, Contant wrote “The victims literally had to fight for their lives in this 3:00 AM attack in their own bedroom.”

Yesterday the charges in district court were dismissed after Hannum was indicted and arraigned in Hampden Superior Court where judges may mete out much stiffer penalties that those available to judges in district courts.

Ax crashes through car windshield on highway TOPSFIELD, Mass. (AP) — It was a scary moment on a highway north of Boston when an ax smashed through the windshield of a car.

Massachusetts State Police say the ax bounced out of a landscaper’s dump truck at about 11 a.m. Wednesday on southbound Interstate 95 in Topsfield. They released a photo showing the ax with a corner of its blade stuck in the passenger side of the car’s dashboard. The handle was sticking through the windshield.

Police say the car’s passenger was “shaken up” but not hurt.

The truck driver, from Peabody, Massachusetts, was cited for failing to secure the ax, which carries a $200 fine.

Police say it could have been worse if the car’s driver hadn’t been obeying the 65 mph speed limit.

Police aren’t identifying the motorists.

House GOP moves to block Obama

By Jake Sherman and Seung Min Kim Politico.com House Republicans will vote to rein in the Obama administration’s power to halt deportation for undocumented immigrants — a surprise move that comes as they struggle to attract support for their bill to address the crisis at the border.

The new plan, described by multiple GOP aides Wednesday evening, comes as House Republicans were unable to lock up 218 GOP lawmakers to vote for the $659 million emergency funding package.

On Wednesday evening, House GOP leadership was setting up a process that would schedule a Thursday vote on the Republican funding package. If it passes, the House would be required to vote on legislation targeting the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which has shielded from deportation hundreds of thousands of young undocumented immigrants who have grown up in the United States.

The House GOP language would block President Barack Obama from expanding DACA and prevent him from granting a similar reprieve to other immigrants here illegally. The administration is actively considering executive action on deportations, and a final decision is expected by the end of the summer.

The latest twist from Republican leadership is a way to appeal to conservative Republicans, who want a vote to prevent the Obama administration from halting deportations. But a vote will only come after the House passes the other legislation.

The Senate, meanwhile, is struggling to pass its border legislation. It scrambled to clear even just a simple procedural vote earlier Wednesday, and the funding measure drafted by Senate Democrats has already lost the support of three of its own members.

The new House GOP strategy will give Democrats and Republicans a chance to vote separately on both bills. It’s not yet clear how Democrats and Republicans will react to the strategy.

The new House GOP tack takes a page from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) had demanded a ban on expanding DACA in exchange for emergency funding to deal with the border crisis. He criticized the House Republican proposal in a statement earlier this week because it did not include language dealing with what Cruz called “Obama’s amnesty.”

Cruz huddled with a smattering of House conservatives in his office Wednesday evening — over pizza and drinks — to discuss the latest developments on the border crisis. He told reporters that he was “encouraged,” particularly after hearing that the House may vote to roll back DACA. “That is the right thing to do,” Cruz said.

Emerging from the meeting with Cruz, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) cast doubt that the initial $659 million border supplemental would pass, particularly if it had to rely solely on GOP votes.

“There is support for the DACA fix,” Bachmann said. “I think you will see the DACA-fix bill pass.”

Even with the new DACA strategy, some conservatives Wednesday still weren’t satisfied. For instance, Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) said the measures still don’t provide adequate border security. And Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) is demanding tougher asylum language.

Expected Democratic support is already weak. Rep. Collin Peterson of Minnesota said in an interview he would vote for the bill, because he believes a 2008 anti-trafficking law that has come under close scrutiny during the border crisis needs to be revised.

Still, an overwhelming majority of House Democrats were expected to reject the House Republicans’ border supplemental if it had come to the floor for a vote Thursday.

“This is what happens when you wait more than 380 days to pass a bipartisan bill to fix the broken immigration system,” House Democratic Caucus Chairman Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.) said when told of the DACA news Wednesday evening.

“Republicans have now boxed themselves into a trap where they are now having a fight between their far right and their far, far right,” he continued. “And as a result, they can’t get anything done and the shutdown, do-nothing politics has come back to bite them.”

And any measures rolling back DACA will be dead on arrival in the Democratic-led Senate. When asked for a response to the House GOP decision to add DACA into the mix, Adam Jentleson, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), replied: “Speaker Cruz is in the house.”

Time is of the essence. The House will leave town Thursday afternoon for a month-long August recess.

The struggles come as Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise makes his debut in the House Republican leadership. Although Scalise doesn’t officially become whip until Thursday, he has been involved in trying to build support for this legislation, and his allies have discussed how his tactics were better than Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who is the outgoing whip and incoming majority leader.

New York Rep. Louise Slaughter, the top Democrat on the House Rules Committee, hinted at some troubles Wednesday evening when she told reporters that the “last thing I heard as I left the floor is that they have no agreement, whatsoever.”

Legislation must clear the Rules panel before it can come to the House floor.

“As a matter of fact, it’s a bit troubled piece of legislation,” she said. “We may be here most of the night trying to come to some conclusion thereon.”

Republicans have largely pointed to the deportation directive from Obama — announced in June 2012, in the middle of his reelection bid — as the culprit behind the stunning influx of unaccompanied minors arriving at the Southwestern border this year.

They believe it sends a message that if the migrant children come, they will be accepted legally into the United States — although DACA requires that undocumented immigrants have entered the United States before June 15, 2007.

Case tests limits of post-Snowden privacy

By Joseph Marks Politico.com Eighteenth-century rights clash with 21st-century computer technologies Thursday, when a court hears an appeal from Microsoft against a warrant it says tramples the Fourth Amendment.

The case — in which Microsoft is resisting a U.S. warrant to turn over computer files stored in Ireland wanted by feds for a drug probe here at home — is being dubbed the “Fort Sumter of privacy,” by one former prosecutor. After being considered by a New York federal judge, legal experts say the case could ultimately make its way to a federal appeals court or even to the U.S. Supreme Court.

At stake is the way data, like email or documents stored online, can be kept out of the reach of the U.S. government — something that, since the Edward Snowden revelations, has appeal beyond just drug cartels and terror syndicates. If Microsoft loses, U.S. courts will be able, with a warrant, to demand data held by U.S. companies for corporate or other customers — no matter where it is stored, in the U.S. or abroad.

And that, observers say, will be bad for business for the whole U.S. tech sector, whose foreign customers are already nervous about revelations American companies cooperated under subpoena with the National Security Agency. Some may choose to stop doing business with U.S. companies altogether.

A growing parade of Microsoft’s allies in the U.S. tech world is indeed signing on, in friends of the court briefs, to the Redmond, Washington-based giant’s case.

But in the long run, say computer experts, and perhaps before the court case is even finally decided, technology will outpace the law and the physical location where private data is stored will become irrelevant.

With their customers spooked by the twin boogeymen of NSA mass online surveillance and U.S. prosecutorial overreach, more and more U.S. tech companies are offering a service known as “zero knowledge” or “client-side” encryption. Encryption mathematically scrambles data, like for instance the text of an email, so it can be only deciphered with a special string of letters and numbers, known as a key. In client-side encryption, the tech company storing the data doesn’t have the key — only its customer, the original owner of the data, can unscramble the data and read the email.

To the growing consternation of some in law enforcement, client-side encryption means a U.S. company cannot comply with a warrant or subpoena, even if it wants to. The only data the company is privy to will be gibberish without the key.

“Whatever the court decides will be overtaken by either strong client-side encryption or stronger domestic legislation,” said Neil MacBride, former U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia who brought criminal charges against Snowden and is now a partner with the firm Davis Polk & Wardwell. “So I think this is the first volley in what could be a very interesting, cutting-edge, pitched battle.

“Technology has outpaced the legal regime,” he concluded.

Beyond the reach of the law In the New York case, Microsoft is resisting complying with a search warrant for emails stored in its Dublin servers, arguing those emails fall outside the range of a U.S. search warrant in the same way as would physical mail in a Dublin file cabinet.

Microsoft is challenging an initial ruling that said warrants for online documents and emails are subject to a lower threshold than physical documents under the 1986 Electronic Communications Privacy Act and must be produced no matter where they’re stored.

The ruling called those warrants a “hybrid: part search warrant and part subpoena.”

Microsoft argues that ignores the Fourth Amendment’s “bedrock requirement that the government must specify the place to be searched with particularity.” The argument accuses the judge of “effectively amending the constitution for searches of communications held digitally.”

If the U.S. wants to get its hands on the disputed emails, Microsoft says, it should ask Irish law enforcement to collect them using the sometimes onerous process of a mutual legal assistance treaty.

If Microsoft loses, that’s sure to spike demand for zero-knowledge encryption, especially among individual consumers and some corporations for whom privacy is a major selling point, said David Thaw, an assistant professor of law and information sciences at the University of Pittsburgh.

And that, according to former prosecutor MacBride, will be the Fort Sumter moment — the spark that lights a “long and hard fought war between U.S. tech companies and the U.S. government.”

The Snowden effect Client-side encryption is not new, but until recently it was the province of a handful of smaller, privacy-focused startups.

That changed with the Snowden revelations, which made many outside the U.S. very jumpy about the question of who had access to their data when it was stored by American companies.

Documents from the megaleaker showed that, in foreign intelligence investigations, the NSA was able to obtain by court order, or sometimes just steal, the decrypt keys from technology companies storing cloud data using traditional encryption. With one company’s key, the agency can decrypt data from all its customers.

Domestically, the FBI also has the authority to order a company storing encrypted data to turn over the key. Just such a subpoena last year caused Snowden’s email provider, Lavabit, which used

traditional encryption, to shutter itself, rather than hand over the key to all its users’ data.

But with client-side encryption, each customer has their own key and a warrant or subpoena would have to be served on them individually, which is difficult if they are abroad.

Microsoft competitor HP is one of the largest players to jump into the zero-knowledge market so far.

The company is touting its new Atalla cloud, launched last month, as a system that can protect data both from the prying eyes of NSA and from a Microsoft-like or Lavabit-like warrant no matter where it is stored.

“This is very specifically focused around the idea of data sovereignty, of companies owning their data,” HP security division Senior Vice President Art Gilliland said.

If the initial Microsoft ruling stands, Gilliland said, zero knowledge encryption may be one of the few ways for the U.S. to remain competitive in the global market for cloud services against other nations that interpret the scope of their legal authority more narrowly.

Chris Soghoian, a senior policy analyst with the American Civil Liberties Union, said offering more client-side encryption was one way U.S. tech companies could try to repair the damage that Snowden did to their reputation.

“It may be too little too late, but the only thing that can stop the bleeding is cryptography,” he said, noting that the German government recently canceled a Verizon contract out of concern it would aid NSA efforts to listen in on government phone calls.

There’s also a concern among companies that if the U.S. government prevails against Microsoft, other governments could make similar claims.

“I think all reputable companies would say they’re not averse to complying with lawful demands,” said former senior FBI official Michael Vatis.

“They just think there should be legal limits,” added Vatis, now a Steptoe & Johnson attorney who wrote Verizon’s friend of the court brief in the Microsoft case. “Otherwise we just have a free for all where we have governments trying to say they can access information no matter where it’s stored in the world so long as they serve an order on some business in their country.”

A new legal regime Some law enforcement officials have long been concerned that encryption and other new technology is frustrating their ability to investigate terrorism, drug and child trafficking and organized crime.

CALEA, the 1994 Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, required cellphone providers to build their systems so law enforcement has the technical ability to tap into them with a warrant, but the law has been outpaced by new technology, say federal officials.

Despite the Federal Communications Commission expanding its interpretation of CALEA to include voice over Internet protocol, or VoIP, communication during the Bush administration, the FBI complained to Congress in 2011 that smart criminals were “going dark” by relying on email, social networking and other systems that weren’t built to allow surveillance.

Going dark “is shorthand for what will national security and law enforcement agencies do if the bad guys figure out some new technology that law enforcement cannot surveil and part of that has been encryption,” one former Justice official said.

Proposals to expand CALEA to other Internet communication have been sidelined for the time being by the Snowden revelations, and it’s unlikely proposals to expand surveillance will gain much political traction anytime soon. But in the long term, the politics of law enforcement on Capitol Hill makes Congress friendly territory for surveillance advocates.

“The nightmare scenario is a little girl has been abducted and she’s going to be raped and police can’t find her because foreign parties refuse to turn over their keys,” Thaw said, describing an extreme hypothetical case of “going dark.”

“You can see Congress trying to pass a law to make it very difficult for that to happen.”

Patrick signs abortion clinic bill BOSTON (AP) — Police now have increased authority to break up crowds gathering around Massachusetts abortion clinic entrances under a bill the governor signed yesterday.

Gov. Deval Patrick’s signing comes a little more than one month after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a 2007 Massachusetts law that established a protestfree 35-foot “buffer zone” around clinic entrances.

Patrick praised lawmakers for moving swiftly to craft a bill and said “women get to choose what to do about an unwanted pregnancy.”

The new law allows police to disperse protesters who are substantially impeding access to a clinic. Those individuals must stay at least 25 feet from the clinic’s entrances for up to eight hours. Failure to abide by a dispersal order will be considered a misdemeanor.

ARTSLEISURE Review: World Premiere of ‘Cedars’ The Arts Beat at Berkshire Theatre Group

By Mark Auerbach

The British Are Coming Two upcoming area theatre productions showcase the finest modern British theatre writing: the crisp, often naughty comedies of the late Noel Coward, and the groundbreaking works of Caryl Churchill, who is still turning out new works for London stages.

Design for Living The Berkshire Theatre Group presents Nöel Coward’s free-wheeling dark romantic comedy “Design for Living” on the Stockbridge campus (July 30-August 16). Coward’s comedies are frequent visitors to area stages. His wildly funny “Private Lives” spent time at Shakespeare and Company over the winter, and a new production opens at Hartford Stage next winter. His rarely-performed “A Song at Twlight” was featured at Hartford Stage and Westport Playhouse earlier this year.

org.

A Number Chester Theatre continues it’s 25th anniversary season with Caryl Churchill’s psychological thriller. “A Number” (through August 10). Jay Stratton and Larry John Meyers star. Chester Theatre’s Artistic Director Byam Stevens stages.

In “A Number”, a man discoveres that he’s been cloned.

His father says that he was created from the cells of his dead older brother. As the thriller unravels, the son tries to discover the how and why.

According to Stevens, “Just as you might expect with a writer as original and groundbreaking as Caryl Churchill, “A Number” is a hard play to categorize – it’s a dark comedy, a psychological thriller and an exploration of pressing ethical questions on the cutting edge of medical technology. Funny and provocative, and thoughtprovoking — the inimitable hallmarks of one of the preeminent playwrights of our time!”

For tickets: 413-354-7770 or www.chestertheatre.org.

Tom Story, director of “Design for Living” at Berkshire Theatre Group

“Design for Living” is a sophisticated portrait of a menage-a-trois of friends with benefits, interior designer Gilda, Leo the playwright, and Otto, the artist. Coward wrote the play for himself to star in along with his friends, the famous acting duo Albert Lunt and Lynne Fontanne. Alan Cumming starred in the last Broadway revival.

Tom Story, who began his acting career on the Berkshire Theatre Group’s Unicorn stage, now makes his directorial debut with ”Design for Living” on the same stage. He has performed with BTG for nine seasons including productions of “The Glass Menagerie”, “Camelot” and “The Heidi Chronicles”.

The cast includes: Ariana Venturi, Chris Geary, and Tom Pecinka, all of whom appeared in last season’s “The Cat and The Canary”.

By MARK AUERBACH Correspondent STOCKBRIDGE – It’s a family affair double feature at Berkshire Theatre Group in Stockbridge, where Erik Tarloff’s new play, “Cedars” is having its world premiere.

The play is a bedside monologue in a hospital room (at Cedars-Sinai in L.A.), where a son (James Naughton) is confessing, justifying, and emoting to a comatose father who offers no response.

Naughton, two-time Tony Award winner, is directed by daughter Keira Naughton, who has already done some great acting and directing at Berkshire Theatre Group.

James Naughton may look and sound familiar to many.

He grew up in West Hartford, Conn. and graduated from Conrad High School. He played Meryl Streep’s husband in “The Devil Wears Prada”, and he nabbed his Tony Awards for “City of Angels” and “Chicago”. He’s the official voice of Audi and a frequent narrator for PBS’ Nature.

Tarloff, the best-selling author of “Face Time”, and writer of over 100 sitcom episodes for “M*A*S*H”, “All in The Family”, “The Jeffersons” and “Alice”, has written a portrait of Gabe, a 50-something lawyer, who is coming to terms with a dwindling career, divorce, dating, and relationships with his children. In a 90-minute monologue, Gabe speaks to his father, hoping for approval and acceptance, both unlikely from the comatose dad. Tarloff’s writing is laced with wry commentary and occasional very funny laugh lines.

James Naughton in “Cedars” at Berkshire Theatre Group.

Keira Naughton, aided by Hugh Landwehr’s set which provides a compact playing space on the large Fitpatrick Stage, gives “Cedars” a fast pace. Landwehr’s hospital room design, with an institutional feel but no hospital bed, tubes, or machines, gives the Naughtons a stage which is both a playing space and possibly the inner mind of Gabe.

It takes incredible technique to pull off a one-person show. Hal Holbrook as Mark Twain, Julie Harris as Emily Dickinson, Jefferson Mays as Charlotte van Mahlsdorf, and Bette Midler as Sue Mengers, had the control, stamina, and depth to triumph onstage.

James Naughton is simply brilliant. He looks terrific, his voice is smooth and emotive, his gestures just right, and his nuance was great.

Laurie Churba Kohn costumes Naughton in a variety of contemporary outfits appropriate to a lawyer’s casual attire. Solomon Weisband’s lighting enhances the playing area, and Scott Killian’s music bridges the quick costume changes.

“Cedars” is not family fare.

It explores adult situations.

“Cedars”, however, is interesting theatre, and certainly a

feather in Berkshire Theatre Group’s hat. Kudos to Tarloff and the Naughtons.

“Cedars” is the second of three new works on Berkshire Theatre Group stages this season. The theatre hosted a reading of a new musical, “Sometimes Love” with Richard Chamberlain earlier this month, and Eric Hill’s “Poe”, a portrait of the haunting poet Edgar Allen Poe, will be produced in time for Fall foliage season.

The Berkshire Theatre Group presents the world premiere of “Cedars” by Erik Tarloff. Directed by Keira Naughton. Scenic design by Hugh Landwehr. Costume design by Laurie Churba Kohn. Lighting design by Solomon Weisbard. Sound design by Scott Killian. Stars James Naughton. Through August 9. The Fitzpatrick Main Stage, Stockbridge, MA.

Olympic Dreams Don’t Come Easy Baystate Rehabilitation Care

At the age of 10, if you tore your left anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) performing gymnastics, how do you think you’d react? Would you go into rehab with a vengeance, so you could get back into the gym as quickly as possible?

That’s what Peter Daggett did. Because, even at that early age, the young man from East Longmeadow was committed to being a successful gymnast. He was simply going to do what it takes.

This is a case of the apple not falling far from the tree.

Peter’s father is gymnast Tim Daggett, who won a gold medal in the 1984 Olympics. Tim had multiple injuries and surgeries during his career and just kept on going.

Both Tim and Peter are familiar faces at Baystate Rehabilitation Care.

“The team there has always been there to help me whenever I’ve needed it,” says Peter, now aged 16. “If they hadn’t been, I’m not sure how I could have kept on going.”

After what has already been a very successful career, Peter now has his sites on making the junior national team. Someday, he hopes to be an Olympian like his father.

“It hasn’t been easy so

far,” he says. In addition to

“It can be really hard to stay motivated.

Going through physical therapy is a demand on your time. You have to make compromises with your lifestyle.”

Jim Maloney, Part of the team at Baystate Rehabilitation Care

the issue with his knee, he has experienced both back and shoulder problems.

“Fortunately,” he says, “I’ve had Jim Maloney helping me every step along the way.”

Maloney is part of the team at Baystate Rehabilitation Care. He says Peter has faced many challenges in his young career, and not just from the other competing gymnasts.

“When you’re young, you have to deal with the effects of growth on your body. It can be easier to get hurt and it can be harder to heal.

There’s also the emotional component. While you’re trying to rehab, you’re away

from your friends. You’re not able to compete. It can be tough.”

Peter showed himself to be very tough, according to Maloney. “He’s always been consistent in his approach to getting better. And he pays close attention to what he’s being asked to do.”

Maloney describes the relationship between the physical therapist and patient as a partnership. The two are in this together. He says this might be the most important reason for a patient to seek out a physical therapy program in the first place.

“It can be really hard to stay motivated,” Maloney says.

“Going through physical therapy is a demand on your time.

You have to make compromises with your lifestyle.”

There is also a significant difference, Maloney suggests, between rehabbing on your own and rehabbing right. Baystate Rehabilitation Care offers highly trained physical therapists, access to sports medicine doctors, and the latest equipment.

“And we provide one-to-one care,” he says. “That way we can pay close attention to our shared goals, keep the lines of communication open, and stay on track to produce the best results possible.”

A good physical therapist is also watching out for the future of his patient. “Jim figures out the best ways to keep my body in tune,” Peter Daggett says. “He’s always trying to come up with the best way to prepare me for the next competition.”

Maloney says with Peter, as with many of his patients, he needs to perform a kind of balancing act. “I want to help them get back to competing, but I want them to be safe. I don’t want to see them undo all the hard work.”

With a highly competitive young gymnast like Peter Daggett, it’s not hard to imagine that holding him back might be difficult. But so far, Peter has continued to pile up the accomplishments, as he pushes ahead on his quest to get an Olympic gold medal of his own. ­­­——— www.baystatehealth.org/rehab

One box left to check for 14s

By Robby Veronesi WNG Intern WESTFIELD – In the first three days of the 2014 14-year-old Babe Ruth New England Regional Tournament, the host squad from Westfield has checked off the first three boxes in its pursuit of winning the tournament on its home field.

After utilizing offensive outbursts to take down Exeter, NH, and Windham, ME, Westfield showed another dimension to its success by combining stellar pitching with clutch run manufacturing to hold off Cranston, RI. As the tournament winds down, Westfield faces one last challenge, and one last box to check off.

“We started back in January and our goal was to win the regionals right here,” said manager

John Bonini. “We’re well aware that in the 13-year-old regionals last year, the team that came out of the winner’s bracket final did not win the New England Regionals. These guys are well aware that they still have work to do and they’re focused to do that.”

Bullens Field will be rocking once again today at 4 p.m., when they play in the championship series against the winner of the Trumball, CT/ Cranston, RI game.

Admission to Bullens Field is free for all tournament games. Westfield is the only undefeated team remaining in the tournament and will win the championship with a win in the 4 p.m. game Thursday. If they lose, there will be a winnertake-all contest immediately following Thursday’s scheduled game.

By Chris Putz Staff Writer NEWTOWN, CONN. – The Westfield Babe Ruth Baseball 13-Year-Old All-Stars battled all the way to the very end, falling just two runs short of a berth in the New England regionals championship.

Westfield rallied but fell just short in a 5-4 loss to Waterford (Conn.) Wednesday at High Meadow Field in Newtown, Conn.

Westfield entered the final inning, trailing 5-3. Cam Davignon led off the inning with a sharp line drive base hit to center field. Carter Cousins walked. Colton Baker, pinch running for Davignon, scored on Jimmy Hagan’s double to deep left center field to pull his team within one.

Waterford got Westfield to fly out and ground out with the tying and winning runs on second and third base.

“We fought to the end,” Westfield coach Jim Hagan said. “They left it all out on the field.”

Westfield’s team of All-Stars picked themselves up several times in Wednesday’s loser’s bracket final.

In the bottom of the second inning, Westfield bounced back from a 3-0 deficit.

Mike Nihill led off with a single. Baley Collier reached on a force out. Jack Blake hit an RBI double, and Mike Lurgio followed with run-scoring base hit.

In the sixth, Spencer Cloutier doubled and scored when pinch-hitter Garrett Collis put

THURSDAY FINAL SET FOR WHIP CITY: WESTFIELD — Two years ago, the Westfield Babe Ruth Baseball 13-YearOld All-Stars made history with an eastern regionals championship, and trip to the World Series.

The 2014 group of 13-year-olds nearly managed that feat too.

While those teams are now resigned to a summer vacation, a current crop of All-Star players is making its case as New England’s best.

The city’s 14-year-old All-Stars will host the winner of the loser’s bracket final in Thursday’s eastern regionals championship game at Bullens Field at 4 p.m. Because Westfield is unbeaten in tournament play, its opposition will need to win twice. If the Whip City All-Stars fall in the first game, a second – and final – contest will be played 20-30 minutes later.

Westfield has earned its way to the top with a 10-2 trouncing of Exeter (N.H.), a 7-4 victory over Windham (Maine), and a thrilling 2-1 win over Cranston (R.I.).

the ball in play to continue Westfield’s comeback.

In the seventh, Waterford halted the rally.

“It was a tremendous late run for the boys,” Westfield manager Mike Nihill said. “We had the best chemistry a coaching staff could wish for or assemble. We hope this same exact group comes back for next year,” manager Nihill said.

Westfield’s pitching staff, which was taxed by an 11-inning game (a loss, its first) on Tuesday, performed admirably in its final game. Cam Parent (2 innings), Lurgio (2 innings), and Carter Cousins (3 innings) combined to hold Waterford’s offense to just five runs on no rest between games.

It was a welcome sight to see Cousins, who just two days earlier suffered a game-ending head/neck injury in a collision with the first baseman, once again, back on the mound.

The core defensive unit shined on Wednesday, according to the coaching staff, from Hagan’s half-dozen assists at second base to Collier’s grabs in center field, and Cloutier’s shortstop plays. Third baseman Cam Parent, of Southwick also delivered a solid effort defensively.

The 13-year-old team received tremendous support over the course of the five-day tournament from parents, family, and friends, as well as a surprise visit from members of the Whip City’s 14-year-old All-Stars (who are set for a big game themselves), and league president Dan Welch.

Annual Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival cruised into Hartford on Sunday at the Xfinity Center. (Photos by Mike Augusti)

Mayhem reigns down on Hartford

By MIKE AUGUSTI Correspondent HARTFORD, Conn. — The annual Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival cruised into Hartford on Sunday for a full day of…well, Mayhem.

Eighteen heavy metal bands descended on the Xfinity Center in Hartford with music starting at 1:00 in the afternoon and the last band wrapping up at 11:00 that night.

The Mayhem fest started in 2008 by the organizer of the Warped Tour (another traveling musical festival) and continues to expand year after year. Generally the festival consists of four stages, three stages set up outside and the main stage based in the amphitheater.

Each stage is sponsored by a different company. Rockstar Energy sponsors the festival and the main stage while Coldcock Whiskey, Sumerian Records and Victory Records sponsored the other side stages.

The Victory and Sumerian stages both had start times of 1:05 with five bands on each stage. You really had to pick and choose who you truly wanted to see and hear since the set times were so close. Some of the bands on the Victory Stage included up and comers Erimha and Islander, while also including veterans Wretched, Ill Nino and Emmure. The band Islander was one that I really wanted to check out, only playing a twenty minute set, they didn’t disappoint. There is lots of attitude coming from this band and some really catchy songs.

The Sumerian stage showcased a local battle of the bands winner, Carnivora from Danvers Mass. Unfortunately they had to go on at 1:00 and played to a fairly limited audience. Other bands included on the Sumerian Stage were Darkest Hour, Veil of Maya and Upon A Burning Body. The highlight of this stage was

the headliner, Bodycount, featuring the one and only Ice – T. Yes Ice – T the rapper and the actor. Bodycount formed in 1991 and was introduced to the music world at that summers Lallapalooza tour. The band has five releases to their name witha new one just released this past year, called Manslaughter. A ferocious set from this band and definitely had the biggest crowd for the side stage bands.

The Coldcock Whiskey stage had six bands

playing with a start time of 1:25. In my opinion this stage probably had the best line up. Up and comers King 810, touring veterans Texas Hippie Coalition, masked mad men Mushroomhead, Miss May I, Suicide Silence and death metal masters Cannibal Corpse.

Corpse was the very first death metal band to sell over one million records and has built a cult like following over the years with a constant touring schedule and some controversial

song lyrics. Corpse probably had the second largest crowd for a side stage.

The Main stage consisted of four bands with the first band, Trivium going on 6:30. Only given a thirty minute set, Trivium had the crowd rawking from the start. English rawkers Asking Alexandria were up next for a thirty five minute set that included material off of all three of their releases. Veteran heavy metal band Korn, led by lead singer Jonathan Davis were in top form and really had the crowd behind them. I would have to say the majority of the crowd were there for Korn and they didn’t disappoint. The band had sixty minutes to play and had enough energy for two more hours.

Headliner Avenged Sevenfold had the longest set time of seventy five minutes and provided the crowd with plenty of good music, smoke and fire. The band had a great stage and really put on a great show deserving of headliner status.

The Mayhem festival is an annual event worth checking out. Besides all the music, there are plenty of other things going on for a metal head to enjoy. There is a meet and greet tent where most bands go after playing their set. There is also a number of merchandise tents for the bands to sell their goods and meet their fans. Mayhem Fest will be on my annual list of shows to attend.

Cage the Elephant rawks The Dome

By MIKE AUGUSTI Correspondent WALLINGFORD, Conn.

— Kentucky’s very own Cage the Elephant stopped at The Dome at the Oakdale Theater in Wallingford Connecticut on Tuesday night. The band is smack dab in the middle of their Melophobia Tour in which they are out support their latest release by the same name.

Cage had their first release in 2008 to critical acclaim and has since built a loyal following of devoted fans. The Dome was packed in anticipation of the bands stop in Connecticut. The mostly younger teenage crowd screamed at the sight of the band taking the stage.

The band kicked off the show with a song off of Melophobia called, Spiderhead. This set the stage for the hour and fifteen minute set of rawking tunes. In One Ear off their 2008 release came next and received a roar from the crowd. The songs from this release easily got the loudest cheers from the crowd.

Cage the Elephant stopped at The Dome at the Oakdale Theater in Wallingford Conn. Tuesday night. (Photo by Mike Augusti) The set was a mix of songs from all three releases, most of which were high energy and had the fans moving to

the music all night long.

Some of these songs included Cigarette Daydreams, Ain’t No Rest For the Wicked,

Halo, Back Against the Wall, Black Widow and Teeth. The band ended the night with Come a Little Closer before

taking a brief couple minute break and returning for the encore. The encore consisted of Shake Me Down and

Sabertooth Tiger, both songs off their 2011 release Thank you, Happy Birthday.

Cage has been around since 2007 and seems to be on their way to bigger and better things. Their live show is one not be missed with High Energy from start to finish and to top it off with some really catchy rawk songs.

Cage has a few more dates in the United States before playing some overseas festivals in August and then returning to the U.S. to open for The Black Keys on their fall tour.

This should give them some great exposure to very large arena crowds. The closest they come to this area is at the TD Garden on September 21.

Annie’s Mailbox

By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

How do i go about this?

Dear Annie: I have two daughters who have their biological father’s last name. He never phones or visits. In six years, he has seen them once for an hour.

I would like to change their last name to my maiden name. I have full physical and legal custody of my girls. My ex has supervised visitation that he hasn’t taken advantage of. I married a wonderful man seven years ago, and he is truly their father.

I have no idea where their biological father lives. I’ve asked his sister, and she, too, has no clue. He has been in and out of jail on drug charges, and seeing as he isn’t paying child support or showing any interest in the girls, I don’t feel they should have to use his last name.

How do I go about changing their names with the least amount of trouble? I can’t afford a lawyer. My girls are 8 and 9 years old, and I’d like to get this done. -- L.A., Calif.

Dear L.A.: Contact your state or county courthouse and find out what forms are necessary to request a name change for minor children, and follow whatever additional instructions are required.

(Should your ex reappear and contest this at a later date, you may need to contact a lawyer.)

Before taking this step, however, consider how your girls will feel down the road. They may be perfectly content to be totally disconnected from their biological father, but we caution you not to make your animosity toward him part of the package. When they are older, please allow them to have their background information should they request it.

Dear Annie: When it comes to relationships, whether family or friends, I’ve always had to be the one to pursue communication with them. They rarely call to say hello or ask how things are going.

I recently moved from Tennessee to Indiana and feel like I’m by myself. I have few friends here. What would you suggest I do?

-- Lonely Hoosier Dear Hoosier: It takes time to make friends in a new location.

We recommend you get involved in local activities through your church, community centers, gyms, volunteer organizations, etc., as well as groups that hold interest for you, such as choirs, theater troupes, political organizations, book clubs and so on, which you can find online or through meetup.com.

Some people, like you, are better at maintaining communication than others. But you also could ask some close friends or family members why they so rarely call. Sometimes there are problems that can be easily remedied.

Dear Annie: Can I add one more story to the replies to “Frustrated with Noise,” about children crying in church?

Many years ago, my family and I attended a large church in Groton, Conn. It was always packed to capacity. Sitting in front of us was another family with small children. As soon as the service started, the child who was sitting on his parent’s lap started screaming demonically. I had never heard any human being scream that loudly. Neither parent made any attempt to quiet the child. They sat there like petrified stone.

The child continued screaming as the preacher attempted to give his sermon. Even though he was using a microphone, he could not override the child’s screaming. Suddenly, the preacher said in a booming voice: “In the name of Jesus Christ, I command you to be quiet!” The child stopped screaming instantaneously, and we didn’t hear a peep out of him for the rest of the service.

HINTS FROM HELOISE SHINY OR DULL? Dear Heloise: I have always wondered if it matters which side is up or down when using regular aluminum foil: the shiny side or the dull side. Any hints? -- John W. in Illinois It makes absolutely no difference which side you use -- they are the same!

It’s simply how it’s manufactured. One side is polished by the steel rollers and is shiny, and the “poor” other side is dull. -- Heloise TEST YOUR HINT IQ Dear Readers: Which of these items can be used when seeding jalapenos or hot peppers?

A. A grapefruit knife B. Rubber gloves C. A vegetable peeler If you chose A, B or C, you are correct! All can be used when seeding hot peppers, but you should wear rubber gloves. -Heloise P.S.: If you don’t have rubber gloves, rub some cooking oil on your hands BEFORE dealing with any hot peppers. And for gosh sakes, DON’T rub your eyes, nose or any other body part!

It’s very painful, and it’s happened to lots of folks!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, July 31, 2014: This year you are dynamic and charming, but there seems to be a softness, especially regarding romance. You are in the first year of a new luck cycle. Can you understand why people flock to you? If you are single, you will have to work on staying single. Be careful about dating more than one person at a time.

There is a likelihood that you will run into one person when you’re with the other! If you are attached, you enjoy hanging out with your significant other more and more. It will seem as if you are dating for the first time, all over again.

LIBRA is as charming as you are!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Schedule meetings for the morning, when you are on cruise control. In the afternoon, you won’t be able to concentrate as you might like. Go with the moment, and work through a certain unpredictability that keeps appearing. Tonight: Think “weekend,” and make plans.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Tap into your creativity when trying to fulfill a desire. A friend or associate will brainstorm with you. In the afternoon, settle in and take a hard look at your finances as well as your long-term goals. You’ll gain insight into a friend’s attitude. Tonight: Play it easy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Take your time in the morning. In fact, if you can stay at home, do.

A special opportunity seems impossible to say “no” to. Choose to go with the moment, and you’ll see what lies ahead on this unusual path. Tap into your sense of adventure. Tonight: Let your hair down.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Visualize more of what you want from a certain situation. You also might want to discuss it with a trusted friend or adviser. By verbalizing what you want, you’ll help turn a desire into reality. Touch base with a roommate in the evening. Tonight: Hang close to home.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Take care of practical matters first. You will want some time in the afternoon for a lengthy lunch with an acquaintance or friend. Catching up on news could prove to be a real mind opener. You might be surprised by some of what you hear. Tonight: Read between the lines.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You could be taken aback by what a partner, friend or associate might share. Eye a risk with care, but ultimately go with your sixth sense. The variables with a money matter still might be too hefty. You won’t want to sustain substantial damage. Tonight: Your treat.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might want to take the morning off, considering how out of sorts you feel. Consider taking the whole day off if you can, but know that someone will be looking for you. Lie low, no matter how many offers come your way.

Tonight: Reach out to a loved one at a distance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Zero in on what you want in the morning. By the afternoon, you might want to do some research, take a nap or enjoy a favorite pastime. You’ll need to pull away from others for a while. Don’t forget to schedule an important doctor’s appointment. Tonight: Vanish.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You’ll fulfill your obligations first, and then you’ll enjoy the assortment of people around you with whom you would like to visit. A meeting might evolve into a social happening. A loved one could want his or her share of time, too! Tonight: Only where your friends are.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Detach early on, and you will gain a deeper insight into what is going on. In the afternoon, you can act on your perception. A loved one or family member is highly receptive to you. Ask this person for the support and feedback you feel you need. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Get past a very serious discussion in the morning. Take a walk or indulge in some other type of distraction

Cryptoquip

Crosswords

after this talk. Allow your empathy to come out when thinking through the issue. Tonight: Consider going on a weekend getaway in the near future.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Others seem to know where you are coming from. No matter what goes on, you’ll be able to have a discussion that lets you know that your position is being weighed. Use care with manipulative people. A loved one needs your attention.

Southwick Library Offering Senior Computer Workshops

Pancake Breakfast at Senior Center

SOUTHWICK - Are you a senior (55 and over) whose computer skills need sharpening?

Do you wish you were more proficient at making vacation plans, researching medical concerns, sending photos, or just plain learning more about an interest? If you have basic online navigational skills, and a familiarity with Microsoft Word or other word processing software, then the Southwick Public Library’s Computer Basics-Intermediate Level, foursession computer workshop is for you.

The Friends of the Library and the Sarah Gillett Services for the Elderly of Westfield have teamed up to sponsor these free workshops from 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. in the library’s Community Room on Thursdays beginning August 7, followed by August 21 and 28 and September 4.

Instructor Shirley A. Keech will bring an 8-station mobile mini lab for the onsite training. Patrons with their own laptops are encouraged to bring them to learn on. With over 20 years experience in adult education and online research, Keech was formerly with the Western MA Regional Library System, and is now an independent consultant specializing in online education for adults.

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.
