Thief not jailed By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A Springfield man who said that he stole a pack of cigarettes so he would be sent back to jail did not get immediate satisfaction in Westfield District Court Wednesday. John Skowron Kirwan, 40, of 27 Morris St., Springfield, was arrested by Officer Richard Mazza Tuesday evening after he was asked if he had attempted to steal cigarettes at a convenience store and answered “I didn’t attempt to steal them, I stole them.” Kirwan told Mazza that he was on probation and said that he wanted to go back to jail. He told the officer that if he was not arrested police would be dealing with him again soon. He declined legal counsel when he appeared in Westfield District Court before Judge Laurie MacLeod yesterday and agreed with the prosecutor’s recommendation that a guilty finding be filed for the charge he was facing – shoplifting by asportation, a subsequent offense. No penalty was assessed. Kirwan may still get his way as the guilty finding may constitute a violation of probation which could result in jail time.

Abandoned safe no threat to public By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – An entrance to a downtown supermarket was blocked off Tuesday afternoon as city emergency responders worked to determine if a safe found in a shopping cart at a Main Street supermarket was a threat to the public. City police were notified at 12:59 p.m. that a suspicious item had been found locked to a shopping cart near the outside storage area for propane tanks at the Stop and Shop store. The store manager had called and reported that a briefcase was locked to the shopping cart which had been in place for about a half hour. Officer Harry Sienkiewicz responded to the report and found that a safe with a combination lock was secured to the shopping cart with a locked cable and said that something appeared to be oozing from the safe. Sienkiewicz requested assistance from the Fire Department and Deputy Chief Andrew Hart came to the store and also deemed the fire safe to be suspicious. The eastern entrance to the store was cordoned off but the store was not evacuated The store manager reviewed the security video from the parking lot and found that the cart had been dropped off a pickup truck by a subcontractor employed to retrieve strayed shopping carts. The contractor was reached by phone and the investigators were told that the cart had been recovered on Woronoco Avenue. Sienkiewicz reports that the State

Westfield readies to celebrate July 4th By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Two Independence Day parades and the Rotary Club’s annual fireworks display at Stanley Park are slated as the city commemorates the Fourth of July this weekend. The first begins at 10 a.m. at Hampton Ponds plaza and goes west on North Road to the Hampton Ponds Association Building, located at the corner of North Road and Old Stage Road where a ceremony will be held. The second is later that evening, at 6 p.m., the Wyben neighborhood will hold their annual parade. All are welcome to come to either event and celebrate the nation’s freedom and liberty. City Council President Pro Ten Christopher Keefe reminded council members of the 10 a.m. start of the Hampton Ponds Association 58th Annual July 4 parade. Marchers, including city veteran organizations, will assemble at 9:30 a.m. at the Hampton Ponds Plaza parking lot Keefe, who represents Ward 1, which includes Wyben, urged members planning on attending the Wyben event to dress casually for the 6:30 p.m. Wyben familyfriendly celebration. The Wyben community parade will assemble at 6 p.m. at the corner of North and Montgomery roads . Marchers will
then proceed down Montgomery Road to West Road, turn-around and return to the Wyben Schoolhouse. Wyben residents are also planning a community picnic, featuring a softball game, at 9 a.m. on West Road. In the event of rain the picnic will be relocated to the Wyben Chapel. Hampton Ponds will also be the location of a boat parade slated for 5 p.m. that afternoon. Friday will also see the inaugural launch of the Westfield Police Department lake patrol at the ponds. The WPD has been renovating a pontoon vessel and training officer to enforce water safety laws. Police Chief John Camerota said that the residents of the ponds area are “starving for some law enforcement on the water” and reported that he has developed a plan to respond to their needs. Camerota researched the problem and found that neither the state nor the environmental police forces have the resources to provide boat patrols on the ponds in Westfield, but the city will fill the vacuum because of a resident’s donation. Camerota explained that efforts had been made to address the problem of not being able to respond to boating complaints in the past, but said recently that “we were never able to get to the enforcement level and See July 4th Celebrations, Page 3
By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – With the Massachusetts Legislature’s recent approval of a $36 billion budget for the upcoming fiscal year, the city of Westfield is set to receive state funding sought after by Rep. John Velis for several municipal projects. Velis, a freshman Democrat in the House of Representatives, secured $165,000 to be dispersed to Noble Hospital, the city’s senior center, and to Westfield on Weekends. Some on Beacon Hill doubted the money would survive the final state budget. “This was a multi-month process, with a lot of back and forth and pounding the table on Westfield’s behalf,” said Velis. “It’s particularly more important these days, with local aid essentially being off the table.” The amendments calling for the funding were filed to the House budget in April prior to Velis’ being sworn in, by Rep. Harold “Hank” Naughton (D-Clinton), who serves in Velis’ Army reserve unit and as Chair of the Joint Committee on Public Safety and Homeland Security. Under the amendments included in the House proposal which would gain inclusion in the final state budget, $100,000 will be given to Noble Hospital for the construction of a ramped entrance to improve access for seniors and citizens with disabilities; $50,000 was also included for furnishings for the city’s new senior center; and $15,000 which Velis said will go to Westfield on Weekends to “stimulate the local business economy.” Velis said that he frequented the office of House Speaker Robert DeLeo (D-Winthrop) during budget week to make his case for these funds. “I said ‘listen Mr. Speaker, we need this (funding) for reasons A, B, and C,” he said. “I talked about my time on the Disabilities Commission, going up there and seeing some of these people with disabilities struggling to get into the hospital.” Velis stated that he worked closely with State Senator Don Humason, Jr. (R-Westfield) to ensure the language proposed in the House amendments made it into the Senate’s proposal.

Slight change to solar array plans By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – Matt Puntin of SK Design Corp. presented revised plans for the solar array at Big Y to the Southwick Planning Board this week. Because the original site plans were reviewed and approved prior to the implementation of the town’s solar bylaw, there was no special permit to be modified. Puntin said the change was being made to accommodate three new utility poles at the site. “The change is the need for a maintenance driveway near the road,” he told the board Tuesday. The new plan included a 15-foot wide, 70-foot long driveway so that Western Massachusetts Electric Co. could access the poles. “They will go in 60 feet with new overhead poles, then they’ll go underground,” Puntin said. The driveway would be gravel and crushed stone. Puntin said the Department of Transportation is reviewing a curb cut See Solar Plans , Page 3

Letter written in Maine 83 years ago delivered SKOWHEGAN, Maine (AP) — A letter written by a Maine school teacher in 1931 to her mother 150 miles away has finally been delivered — 83 years later. Twenty-three-year-old Miriam McMichael sent the nine-page letter from Houlton to Dollena McMichael in Pittsfield. Both women have since died. The letter was lost and only recently found at the Pittsfield post office. Postal worker Michelle Rowell found it and tells the Morning Sentinel (http://bit.ly/1jIZi1P ) she knew it was old because of the 2-cent stamp. The postmaster and town officials tracked down the family, and the letter is now in the hands of 69-year-old Ann MacMichael, of Cornville, Miriam’s niece and Dollena’s granddaughter. The spelling of the family name has changed. MacMichael says the irony is that the writer apologizes for not writing sooner.

O
n July 3, 1863, the three-day Civil War Battle of Gettysburg in Pennsylvania ended in a major victory for the North as Confederate troops failed to breach Union positions during an assault known as Pickett’s Charge.
On this date: In 1608, the city of Quebec was founded by Samuel de Champlain. In 1775, Gen. George Washington took command of the Continental Army at Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 1890, Idaho became the 43rd state of the Union. In 1913, during a 50th anniversary reunion at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, Civil War veterans re-enacted Pickett’s Charge, which ended with embraces and handshakes between the former enemies. In 1938, President Franklin D. Roosevelt marked the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg by dedicating the Eternal Light Peace Memorial. In 1944, during World War II, Soviet forces recaptured Minsk from the Germans. In 1950, the first carrier strikes of the Korean War took place as the USS Valley Forge and the HMS Triumph sent fighter planes against North Korean targets. In 1962, French President Charles de Gaulle signed an agreement recognizing Algeria as an independent state
after 132 years of French rule. In 1971, singer Jim Morrison of The Doors died in Paris at age 27. In 1974, President Richard Nixon and Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev signed a treaty in Moscow limiting the size of underground nuclear weapons tests. In 1988, the USS Vincennes shot down an Iran Air jetliner over the Persian Gulf, killing all 290 people aboard. In 1996, Russians went to the polls to re-elect Boris Yeltsin president over his Communist challenger, Gennady Zyuganov (geh-NAH’-dee zhoo-GAH’-nahf), in a runoff.
Ten years ago: U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan won a promise from Sudan’s government to send troops to stop militia violence in the Darfur region. Maria Sharapova won her first Grand Slam title by beating Serena Williams 6-1, 6-4 at Wimbledon. Former Soviet cosmonaut Andrian Nikolayev died in Cheboksary, Chuvash Autonomous Republic, at age 74.
Five years ago: In a surprise announcement, Sarah Palin said she would resign as Alaska governor, effective July 26, 2009. Vice President Joe Biden visited Baghdad, where he pressed Iraqi leaders to do more to foster national reconciliation and offered U.S. assistance in achieving that goal. Businessman John S. Barry, who turned rust-fighter WD-40 into a household brand, died in La Jolla, California, at age 84.
One year ago: Egypt’s first democratically elected president, Mohammed Morsi, was overthrown by the military after just one year by the same kind of Arab Spring uprising that had brought the Islamist leader to power.

Police bomb squad was notified but declined to respond saying that the safe was not a threat because, if it had been explosive, it would have detonated when the cart was roughly dropped from the pickup truck used to return it to the parking lot. Hart reports that, once advised that it was safe to forcibly
open, the door of the safe was pried open and it was found to be empty. An officer opined that the material which had appeared to be suspiciously oozing from the box had actually been insulation used to protect the contents from fire.
MONTGOMERY — Montgomery residents are invited to provide comments on the development of the Town of Montgomery’s first hazard mitigation plan Monday, July 7, 7:00 p.m. at Town Hall, 161 Main Road. All members of the public are welcome to attend. The meeting will include an introduction to the hazard mitigation planning process, information on the location of the Town’s critical facilities, and a summary of existing mitigation initiatives. Municipal officials and Pioneer Valley Planning Commission staff will be available to answer questions and listen to comments from the public. This planning effort is being undertaken to help the Town of Montgomery assess the risks faced from natural hazards, identify action steps that can be taken to prevent damage to property and loss of life, and prioritize funding for mitigation efforts. A mitigation action is any action taken to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk to human life and property from hazards. The plan is being produced by the Town with assistance from the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission and is funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA). For more information, please contact PVPC’s Josiah Neiderbach at jneiderbach@pvpc.org or (413) 781-6045.

under consideration is big enough to comfortably carry as many as six persons, has plenty of room for necessary equipment and is well suited to operations on the ponds. “The boat is perfect,” Camerota said. “It (will) certainly suit our purposes.” He also said that he has consulted the State Police to consider jurisdictional concerns because much of Pequot Pond is within a state park.

The amendments failed to stick to the Senate’s budget though, which sent them to the legislative conference committee and put them in danger of missing the final cut. “I called up Chairman (Brian) Dempsey’s office of the House Ways and Means Committee and said ‘I need 30 seconds with the Chairman,’” Velis said, adding that he was able to meet with the powerful Haverhill Democrat two weeks ago, who ensured him the funds would remain in the final budget to be signed by Governor Deval L. Patrick. “That 30 seconds ended up being 45 minutes with Chairman Dempsey, where I went through point by point by point why this money was critical,” he said. “I stressed the importance of how the property taxes, and the lack of local aid, are killing Westfield. I got into the senior center and how it’s been in the making for 20 years, and that our seniors deserve a break.” “Both myself and Senator Humason are elected to go down there and be the voice of Westfield,” Velis said. “Here is a perfect example of the voice of Westfield bringing back some good things for this community.” Humason said that the Velis amendments were left out of the Senate budget to enable discussion. “The way that the Chairman (Senate Ways and Means) Stephen Brewer looked at it, if it’s in the House, it’s not going to get put in the Senate, because then it’s non-negotiable. There’s no ability to compromise between branches.” said Humason. “You like things to go to conferences, so you can say ‘you want that in the House? We want this priority, so you give me that, we’ll give you this.’” Humason spoke highly of the “team effort” put forth by himself and Velis, and mentioned several other projects which will receive funds, including a $150,000 appropriation for Westfield State University to conduct a study on Juniper Park Elementary School, which the university plans to turn into an arts center. Other projects include a new monument for the 104th Fighter Wing at Barnes Air National Guard Base to commemorate a decommissioned F-15 jet which flew over New York City on September 11, 2001, which will receive $15,000. “And even though we weren’t able to raise local aid across the board, we were able to boost the money coming back to our libraries, and we’ve increased the funding for transportation of homeless school children, as well,” Humason said. “Regional school transportation was increased pretty sizeably, the highest it’s been funded since the program has begun. It will really help districts like Southwick-Tolland, Hampshire Regional, and Gateway (Regional) with the cost of transporting their children. Anything we can do to help them with lowering their costs.” “I’m pretty happy with how it came out this year,” Humason said of the budget. “I’m happy for my district and very happy for Westfield.”

Massachusetts readies new abortion clinic protections By Kyle Cheney Politico Massachusetts leaders, still smarting from a unanimous Supreme Court rebuke, are preparing to take another shot at keeping protesters away from women entering abortion clinics in the state. The high court last week ruled that Massachusetts’ 35-foot “buffer zone” outside the facilities is unconstitutional. A majority of justices said such a large area is overly restrictive of free speech. Gov. Deval Patrick and Attorney General Martha Coakley, Democrats who supported the 35-foot zone as a public safety response to protect vulnerable women, announced jointly Wednesday that they’re crafting a series of measures intended to achieve the same goal without violating the Constitution. “The Supreme Court may not have liked our buffer zone, but they did not lessen our commitment to protecting women’s access to reproductive health care in the commonwealth,” Coakley said, according to prepared remarks. Among their plans: rewriting state laws to strengthen police officers’ ability to disperse a crowd blocking a clinic entrance; passing a law requiring that clinic driveways be kept clear; and passing a state version of the federal FACE Act, which imposes criminal penalties for harassing or interfering with patients outside an abortion clinic. Coakley and Patrick emphasized their intention to put new laws on the books by the end of the month, when the Legislature is slated to adjourn. Aides say they’ve already gotten commitments from lawmakers to move quickly. Massachusetts’ response to the ruling in McCullen v. Coakley could be instructive around the country as other states consider the legality of their own buffer zones.
Poll: Obama worst president since WWII By Jonathan Topaz Politico.com A plurality of voters think Barack Obama is the worst president since World War II, a new poll says. According to a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday, 33 percent of voters think the current president is the worst since 1945. Obama’s predecessor, former President George W. Bush, came in at second-worst with 28 percent, and Richard Nixon was in third place with 13 percent of the vote. After Jimmy Carter, who 8 percent of voters said was the worst president in the time period, no other president received more than 3 percent. Thirty-five percent of voters said Ronald Reagan was the best president since World War II, receiving nearly twice as many votes as any other former president. Bill Clinton came in second place at 18 percent, while John F. Kennedy came in third with 15 percent of the vote and Obama came in fourth with 8 percent saying he was the best. All other remaining presidents received 5 percent or less. Five percent of voters said Dwight D. Eisenhower was the best president since 1945, while 4 percent said Harry Truman. Lyndon Johnson and George H.W. Bush each received 3 percent. George W. Bush came in at 1 percent. Forty-five percent of voters said the U.S. would be better off with Mitt Romney serving in the White House, compared to 38 percent who said the country would be in worse shape. The survey comes as Obama in recent weeks has found his popularity at the lowest levels of his presidency. The Quinnipiac poll reported more bad news about the president’s approval and competency ratings. Forty percent of voters approve of the job Obama is doing, compared with 53 percent who disapprove. Fifty-four percent of voters say the Obama administration is not competent at running the government. The survey was conducted June 24-30 with 1,446 registered voters on land lines and cellphones. The margin for error is plus or minus 2.6 percentage points.

What Romney Got Right By ALEX WONG Politico.com It’s been a year of crisis after international crisis, whether in Ukraine, Iraq, Syria or Mali. Such a bad year, in fact, that it’s almost become customary for pundits to ask what seems to be a mere political question: “Was Mitt Romney right again?” The question is usually used as a throwaway headline, good for drumming up some web traffic or, in the case of Ukraine, driving a news cycle or two. And when the question is put to those, like me, who worked on Governor Romney’s foreign policy team during the 2012 election, it’s usually posed as a sly invitation to engage in “I told you so’s” and unseemly schadenfreude. But the core of the question is not a shallow concern. Foreign policy thinkers should ask not just which issues Romney was right about, but also why he has been proven right—and consistently so—about major foreign issues. That deeper question holds lessons for the Obama administration and for future presidents. The animating theory that underlay Romney’s view of the world was that the United States and its allies are in strategic competition with rival systems of governance, and always have been. “Other global strategies, each pursued by at least one state or major actor, are aggressively being pursued to surpass us and, in some cases, to suppress us,” Romney wrote in his 2010 book, No Apology. That book—although viewed by many who never read it as a run-of-themill campaign biography—was in actuality a book about geopolitics. It identified the governance models of China, Russia and radical Islamic jihadism as the chief competitors at this point in history to American-style political and economic liberalism. To beat those actors and ensure our security, Romney wrote, U.S. leaders must first recognize that we are in fact in a competition and that our adversaries are implementing sophisticated strategies to beat us. President Obama’s failure to come to that realization is the original sin that has doomed his entire foreign policy. Early in his presidency, Obama addressed the United Nations and declared in high-minded rhetoric that “no one nation can or should try to dominate another nation.” He deemed the “destiny” of all nations to be “shared,” and discarded the notion of “alignments” and “cleavages” among countries, choosing instead to believe that an “interconnected world” made such divisions outmoded. In short: Geopolitical competition was out; global kumbaya was in. There is nothing inherently wrong with that sentiment—as saccharine and unconnected from history as it may be—as long as it is recognized for what it is: a far-off ideal. But it is exceedingly dangerous for a president to use that ideal as a basis for his foreign policy decisionmaking in the present day. Unfortunately, Obama seems to have done just that. Time and again, he has either hinged U.S. security on the thin reed of supposed shared interests with strategic adversaries or indicated that the United States has few—if any—interests at all worth preserving in hotspots around the world. This failure to play the role of the world’s strongest geopolitical actor has contributed to the international crises we are witnessing today. And those crises have thrown into sharp relief the many ways in which Romney’s foreign policy—grounded in a realistic view of the world—was completely correct. The most pressing of these crises currently is the rapid deterioration of Iraq. Romney forcefully opposed Obama’s decision to precipitously withdraw U.S. troops at the end of 2011 without leaving behind a residual force to solidify the extraordinary progress we made after the 2007 surge of U.S. forces. He recognized that without a sufficient U.S. military presence, the Iraqi government would be highly susceptible to both increasing Iranian influence and greater Sunni insurgent activity. In other words, if we vacated the field, our competitors would seize it. It’s unlikely Obama was unaware of such risks. But it seems clear that his revulsion at the idea that the United States would engage in “outmoded” geopolitics led him to disproportionately discount the magnitude of the risks. For him, fully withdrawing troops and letting the chips fall where they may in Iraq was an acceptable policy. Judging by his current refusal to take meaningful steps to stabilize the situation, he still believes that, even when faced with an al Qaeda-linked terrorist state rising out of the sands of western Iraq and a stronger Iranian grip on the government in Baghdad. A similar comparison can be made with regard to Syria. Early on in that nation’s civil war, Romney called for the United States to proactively identify, organize and funnel effective arms to moderate opposition forces. At the same time, he spoke of the need to peel away Bashar Assad’s support among Syria’s Alawite sect and other minorities by making clear that they would have a role in a postAssad government. Romney saw the Syrian conflict as a unique opportunity to achieve the strategic aim of removing Iran’s only Arab ally while at the same time vindicating America’s humanitarian ideals. He also recognized that the conflict—if allowed to fester—threatened to create a failed state in the heart of the Middle East, one that would destabilize the region and make battle-hardened jihadists its chief export. Obama took a different view. Although he gestured at diplomatic initiatives, military assistance to the opposition and even a “red line” and its attendant military strike, these were nothing more than feints that created the illusion—but not the reality—of a strategy. It’s hard to escape the conclusion that Obama never really felt we
had a dog in the Syrian fight, no geopolitical interest for which to compete. And now, three years after the conflict began, we’ve achieved none of our strategic or humanitarian goals and the time for action has likely passed. As a result, a worst-case scenario has arisen that finds both Assad in a stronger position and violent jihadists asserting themselves and exporting terror into Iraq and possibly beyond. Perhaps the clearest example of Obama’s failure to recognize a strategic competitor is the case of Russia. Mere months before the president first came into office, Russia had invaded its neighbor Georgia, sending an unmistakable message about the manner in which the Kremlin did business. By then, Vladimir Putin’s Russia had already accumulated a deplorable record on human rights and democratic governance—and it was getting worse. Russia has long used its vast energy resources as a cudgel to coerce other countries. And throughout Obama’s presidency, the Kremlin has routinely stood in the way of international pressure on both the Assad regime and the ayatollahs in Tehran. Despite plenty of evidence that Russia was no friend of the United States—one could call it a geopolitical foe, even—Obama sought from day one of his presidency to “reset” relations with the Kremlin. He inexplicably continued this quixotic charm offensive into his second term, infamously promising Russian Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev more “flexibility” after the 2012 election. Obama only abandoned the Russian “reset” when Putin’s embrace of Edward Snowden made the president’s naïve faith in the Kremlin untenable. And now, with Russia’s aggression toward Ukraine mirroring its 2008 invasion of Georgia, the failure of Obama’s Russia policy has come full circle. During the 2012 campaign, Obama and his surrogates—using what they clearly thought was a clever talking point—enjoyed needling Romney’s Russia policy as a throwback to the Cold War era. Employing what can only be described as willful blindness, they skipped over the recent history of the Georgia invasion, Putin’s own declared nostalgia for the Soviet Empire and all the other clear indications of a strong revanchist streak inside the Kremlin. For the Obama campaign, history stopped the day the Soviet Union fell. Throughout 2012, it was perpetually 1991. But Romney was clear-eyed about Putin, and about the divergences between the ex-KGB agent’s interests and America’s own. Putin has never been a natural partner of the United States, and gaining cooperation from him can only be achieved by applying well-placed pressure to manipulate his interests. Granting Putin concessions and raising his international prestige—as Obama did— only emboldens him. And now the world is dealing with the consequences of an emboldened Vladimir Putin. The world is also dealing with an emboldened Iran, the most prolific state sponsor of terrorism, which has made great strides toward acquiring nuclear weapons capability. Going back to his time in the Massachusetts statehouse, Romney has recognized that we share few interests with the theocratic regime in Tehran, and that the only viable path to peacefully ending its nuclear program was through a policy of full-spectrum pressure on the ayatollahs: crippling economic sanctions, diplomatic isolation, a credible military option and support for internal democratic dissent. Obama took the opposite view. He appeared to believe that an extended hand to Tehran—paired with a pause in the escalation of sanctions and the soft-pedaling of a brutal crackdown on prodemocracy dissidents in 2009—would “unclench the fist” of the ayatollahs and lead to a relationship of “mutual interest and mutual respect.” He was wrong. It wasn’t until Congress mandated crippling sanctions on Iran’s central bank—sanctions the Obama administration fiercely opposed—that real progress in nuclear talks with Iran began. But that pressure may have come too late. As the Obama administration itself acknowledges, it is unlikely that we will reach a viable agreement that fully dismantles Iran’s nuclear program. And that raises the specter of extremely difficult decisions regarding the use of military force. *** It is not often that world events make so clear, so fast, the direct consequences of choosing one president over another. But, then again, it is rare for the underlying worldviews of two candidates to be so sharply divergent. Romney constructed his foreign policy on the concrete understanding that the United States and its allies are in strategic competition with rival actors, that our respective interests do not naturally dovetail and that decisive and early action must be taken to shape and channel competing interests in order to head off crises. Obama, on the other hand, has rested his foreign policy on the ethereal hope that the era of geopolitical competition is over—left behind in the “19th century,” as he is wont to say, with no place in the 21st. And he mocked Romney for saying otherwise. But unfortunately, hope is not a strategy. Like it or not, the United States is and will continue to be a lead player in a global competition. This president—and those who will occupy the office after him—would be well advised to recognize that, and play to win. ——— Alex Wong is an attorney in Washington, D.C.

The Arts Beat By Mark Auerbach
Everything’s Coming Up Uggams! Connecticut Repertory Theatre presents Broadway’s Leslie Uggams as Mama Rose in a new production of the classic musical, “Gypsy” (July 10-20) in Storrs, Conn. With music by Jule Styne, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, and book by Arthut Laurents, “Gypsy” chronicles the story of Gypsy Rose Lee, the famous striptease artist, her sister June Havoc, and their mother, Rose, the ultimate show business mother, who will do just about anything to make sure her daughLeslie ters get the spotlight. Uggams Vincent J. Cardinal directs. “”Gypsy” not only set the standard for the 20th century book musical but introduced the most complex character to emerge in a musical up to that point, Mama Rose, the archetypal show business mother. Mama Rose has challenged the greatest stars of our time to match her fierce desires, epic disappointments, and heartbreaking dreams, says Cardinal.” Cardinal added that “Gypsy” has a musical score of showstoppers from “Some People” and “Everything’s Coming Up Roses” to “You Gotta Have a Gimmick” and “Rose’s Turn”. Leslie Uggams makes her debut as Rose, the role made famous by Ethel Merman, and then Angela Lansbury, Tyne Daly, Bernadette Peters, and most recently Patti LuPone. Uggams knows a lot about being a child star. At age 7, she played the niece of Ethel Waters in “Beulah”, and she was a regular on “The Mitch Miller Show” when she was a teen. She made an electrifying Broadway debut in “Hallelujah Baby” at age 24, and won a Tony Award for her performance. She played Kizzy in the TV mini-series “Alex Haley’s Roots” and retuned to Broadway in “Blues in The Night”, “Jerry’s Girls”, “Anything Goes”, King Headley II (a Tony Awardnominated performance), “Thoroughly Modern Millies” and “On Golden Pond” (with James Earl Jones). Scott Ridley plays Herbie, Rose’s boyfriend. Amandina Altomare plays the shy Louise, who becomes Gypsy Rose Lee, and Alanna Saunders plays June. Steve Hayes also stars.

By Mike Augusti Correspondent NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Black Star Riders was formed out of the ashes of the latest incarnation of the band Thin Lizzy. Instead of continuing under the Lizzy name, band members made a decision: new music and new name. Black Star Riders was born. The current line-up was formed in 2012 and released all new material in May of 2013 titled All Hell Breaks Loose. Their sound is very straight ahead rock and roll and very reminiscent of classic Thin Lizzy material. On a recent night in New Haven at the infamous Toad’s Place, Black Star Riders flexed their musical muscles with a set that featured half Thin Lizzy material and the other half Black Star Riders material. Opening up the show with the title track off their new release, All Hell Breaks Loose, the band was ready for a night of rawk! First Lizzy song of the night and the second song of the set was Are You Ready. For the first eight songs of the night the band alternated between Black Star material and Thin Lizzy material. This included Lizzy classics Bad Reputation,

Jailbreak and Suicide. While the Black Star songs were Blood Shot, Before the War and Hoodoo Voodoo. This is a band of professional that have been in the business for many years. Lead singer Ricky Warwick formed the band The Almighty and has also had a successful solo career. Guitarist Damon Johnson was a member of the 1990s hard rawk band Brother Cane before settling in with Alice Cooper’s band for a number of years. Marco Mendoza has played bass with Blue Murder, Ted Nugent and Whitesnake. Mendoza was playing this night, but has since
left the band to pursue other interests. Drummer Jimmy Degrasso has been in bands since the 1980s and has pounded the skins for the likes of Y&T, David Lee Roth, Ozzy, White Lion and Ratt… to name a few. Scott Gorham, the former lead guitarist of Thin Lizzy, and the true tie between the two bands, was who the crowd really came to see. Gorham didn’t disappoint, playing the leads on all the Thin Lizzy songs. The rest of the set stayed mostly the same way as the band alternated Thin Lizzy and Black Star Riders songs. These included Lizzy classics Southbound, Emerald, Cowboy Song and The Boys are Back in Town. The Black Star songs were a perfect fit alongside the classic Lizzy tunes. Like Thin Lizzy and hailing from Ireland, singer Warwick does an amazing job with the Lizzy songs live. A professional band playing some kick butt new music and covering classic Thin Lizzy material… what more could you want when seeing a rawk band live. Check out the Black Star Riders new release, All Hell Breaks Loose and then check them out live next time The Boys are Back in Town.

Community Red, White and Blue, Granddaddy’s Gun, Country Boy and a country version of the Staind song Tangled Up in You. Lewis also included a new song called Northern Red Neck which pokes fun at redneck references in country music and that there are plenty of them north of the Mason Dixon line. The loudest cheers went out for the song Massachusetts which includes references to Lewis’s upbringing in the local area and his love for the state and the people in it. Next up were the duo Smith and Meyers, singer and guitar player for superstar Rawk band Shinedown. Brent Smith and Zach Meyers have two releases of acoustic cover songs that they grew up on or have some meaning to them personally. Their set was a mix of cover songs and Shinedown classics. They open the set with the Lynyrd Skynyrd classic Simple Man, which was then followed by Bon Jovi’s Wanted Dead or Alive and then the first Shinedown song of the night, Bully. The set was fairly quick and it seems they may have had to cut a few songs due to time constraints. Some other highlights were the Black Crowes cover of She Talks to Angels and Shinedowns own mega hit, Second Chance. They saved the best for last… Staind took the stage to close out the show with a rare acoustic set of their own. Singer Aaron Lewis was joined on stage by Mike Mushok on guitar, Johnny April on bass and Sal Giancarelli on drums. The band sounded amazing open-

Continued from Page 6 ing the show with Devil and then followed that with Home and Everything Changes. It is great to see this hard Rawking band settle in for an evening of acoustic sounds. The set continued with Fade, Take This and Outside. As the program saved the best for last so did Staind… ending the night with a full blown audience sing-
along, It’s Been A While was the perfect song for this perfect evening. The night was really all about the children and throughout the event, Lewis brought the Conwell students to the stage on numerous occasions. First by getting the entire audience to stand for an Aaron Lewis led Pledge of
Allegiance. A second break had Lewis leading the way with a fantastic rendition of All God’s Critters and lastly with a version of The Muppets Rainbow Connection. What a great night of music for fans of all different genres. This night was for the kids and Aaron Lewis never let us forget the main reason we all
were there. When this comes back around next year, support the community and the foundation. This is one of the best concerts that I attend on a
yearly basis. The setting is fantastic, the music great and the purpose is what brings this all together.

Now what? Sox finally hit, pitchers hammered By KEN POWTAK Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox hitters finally got going. Unfortunately, their pitchers saw the Chicago Cubs hit the ball all around Fenway Park. Justin Ruggiano, Mike Olt and Welington Castillo hit two-run homers to power the Cubs to a 16-9 victory over Boston on Wednesday night, completing a three-game interleague series sweep. Held to just one run in the first two games of the series, the Red Sox collected 16 hits and posted their seconded-highest run output at home this season. It wasn’t even close to enough to match the Cubs. “I will say a number of positive things offensively, particularly the top half of the order,” Boston manager John Farrell said. “Still not enough to come back from the deficit here tonight.” It started poorly right off the bat for starting pitcher Brandon Workman and the Red Sox. The right-hander gave up three runs in the first inning before retiring a batter. “It was just inconsistency in being able to stay down in the zone and on an unforgiving night things got away from us,” Farrell said. Workman (1-2) allowed six runs and five hits in four innings. “I just wasn’t locating the fastball ball very well at all tonight,” he said. “I walked a couple of guys in the first inning. I left some balls up over the plate they hit well. I just wasn’t sharp tonight.” The Cubs jumped ahead 3-0 before making an out. Ruggiano homered off a billboard above the Green Monster seats after Chris Coghlan drew a leadoff walk. Anthony Rizzo walked, stole second and scored on Starlin Castro’s single. Workman then struck out Luis Valbuena, bringing a loud mock cheer from the sweltering crowd. Boston never came back. Mookie Betts hit his first major league homer for the Red Sox, who lost for the ninth time in 13 games. Red Sox DH David Ortiz became the 36th player in major league history to collect
1,000 extra-base hits with a ground-rule double. Ruggiano drove in five runs, Darwin Barney had four hits and Nate Schierholtz added a solo homer for Chicago, which won for the sixth time in seven games away from Wrigley Field and posted its first interleague sweep of three or more games since taking three from Cleveland in 2009. It was the Cubs’ first interleague sweep on the road since winning three against the crosstown rival White Sox in 2007. Boston had its streak of holding an opponent to three or fewer runs in 14 straight home games snapped, the longest single-season stretch since the 1917 White Sox did it in 20. Unlike the first two games of the series when the teams combined for five runs and Boston was held hitless for 7 2-3 innings in the opener, there was plenty of offense to force both starting pitchers out early. The teams combined for nine runs in the ninth inning — Chicago scored six — in a game that took 4 hours, 19 minutes. Carlos Villanueva (4-5) allowed two runs in two innings of relief for the win. Chicago starter Travis Wood lasted just 3 2-3, giving up three runs and seven hits. Boston’s Jonny Gomes had a sacrifice fly before Chicago built its lead to 6-1 in the fourth. Olt hit his two-run homer into Monster seats and Barney tripled and scored on Coghlan’s sacrifice fly. Ortiz had a sacrifice fly and Gomes an RBI single, slicing it to 6-3, but Castillo homered into the center-field bleachers off reliever Felix Doubront in the fifth. Betts homered into the Monster seats. Schierholtz homered in the eighth when many of the sellout crowd had already left. NOTES: Ortiz is the only active left-handed hitter with 1,000 extra-base hits. ... Farrell said OF Shane Victorino, on the 15-day DL since late May with a strained right hamstring, may take BP soon. He shagged fly balls in the outfield during BP, teaching rookie Betts how to handle the sun in right. ... Both teams are off Thursday.
By DENISE LAVOIE AP Legal Affairs Writer BOSTON (AP) — The New England Patriots don’t owe “another penny” to former tight end Aaron Hernandez, who is charged in three killings, a team lawyer told a judge Wednesday. Attorney Andrew Phelan said the team terminated its contract with Hernandez shortly after he was charged last year in the death of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd. He said the team does not believe it owes Hernandez a $3.25 million contract signing bonus. “The Patriots believe under the terms of that contract that they owe not another penny to Mr. Hernandez,” Phelan said during a hearing in Suffolk Superior Court on wrongful death lawsuits filed by the families of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado, two Boston men prosecutors say were also killed by Hernandez. The families’ lawyer, William Kennedy, asked for an order barring the Patriots from paying Hernandez the $3.25 million if the team is ever ordered to do so by an arbitrator. According to the lawsuit filed by Kennedy, Hernandez has filed a grievance seeking the money, plus $82,000 he says is owed to him by the team. But Judge Bonnie MacLeod said the team is already subject to a similar order in the Lloyd case and accepted a signed stipulation from the Patriots. The agreement says the Patriots will inform the court if an arbitrator orders them to pay Hernandez and will be subject to any further orders from the court on the matter, Kennedy said. Kennedy also asked to add the Patriots organization as a defendant in the lawsuit. He said his primary goal in adding the team was to be able to get information on the terms of Hernandez’s contract with the Patriots in an effort to try to secure assets for the families in the event they are awarded damages by a jury. Each family is asking for $6 million in damages. MacLeod said she would take that request under advisement, but was leaning against adding the team as defendants. The judge said Kennedy has other ways of getting the information he is looking for from the Patriots. Hernandez’s attorney, John Fitzpatrick, argued in court papers that the attempt to prevent the team from paying Hernandez is “fundamentally unfair” because Hernandez needs the money to pay for his defense in the three killings and the civil cases. Depriving Hernandez access to his earnings “would impair his state and federal constitutional rights to counsel and to due process,” he wrote. In court Wednesday, Fitzpatrick said he is not arguing that Hernandez needs the money or that Hernandez does not want any money to go to the bereaved families. He said it is clear that the judge in the Odin Lloyd case has already asserted authority over Hernandez’s assets. Fitzpatrick expressed sympathy for the men’s families and also mentioned Hernandez. “I have a client who is sitting in a jail who has fallen about as low as one can fall,” he said. Hernandez is accused of fatally shooting the two men in 2012 while they sat in their car at a stop light after one of them accidentally spilled a drink on Hernandez at a Boston nightclub. The 2012 shootings took place weeks before Hernandez signed a five-year, $40 million contract with the Patriots. Lloyd’s body was found in an industrial area near Hernandez’s home in North Attleborough. Hernandez has pleaded not guilty in the three killings.
Howard’s memorable play marks U.S. World Cup run By JANIE McCAULEY AP Sports Writer SAO PAULO (AP) — Tim Howard left a lasting impression on Americans from coast to coast — and fans around the world, really — for his incredible, improbable saves in the loss to Belgium in extra time that sent the U.S. home from the World Cup to a country captivated. Howard is a big reason — 6-foot-3, to be exact — for the fascination. He has become a Twitter sensation in less than a day, while raising one important question before he leaves Brazil: Will the 35-year-old goalkeeper be back for the next World Cup four years from now in Russia? “When you’re in the public eye, it’s part of what you have to deal with,” Howard said Wednesday of the hype from his record-setting World Cup. “I’ve been dealing with it for a long time. It’s nice that America knows about soccer now. That’s what’s important.” Howard’s 16 saves in the 2-1 loss were the most in a World Cup game since FIFA started tracking the statistic in 2002. Someone had fun with Howard’s heroics on Wikipedia, briefly listing the star goalie as incumbent “Secretary of Defense of the United States of America.” Later, the real defense secretary, Chuck Hagel, called

U.S. late Wednesday, and Howard soon will return to his Premier League club, Everton. Millions of Americans will be rooting for Howard to play in the 2018 World Cup. That’s something Howard will discuss with those close to him. “What happens going forward with the national team, I don’t know,” he said. “I don’t think it’s very black and white, to be honest. I need to figure all that out.” Howard had 15 shutouts — one behind coleaders Petr Cech of Chelsea and Wojciech Szczesny of Arsenal — in 37 league matches for Everton this season before joining the Americans in mid-May for training camp in Northern California. In the spring, he signed a
two-year contract extension through 2018 and is likely to close out his career with Everton. “He was fantastic. There’s no other way to put it,” midfielder Michael Bradley said. “He’s somebody that we rely on so much for his performances on the field but also his leadership and his presence. So honestly, there’s not enough good things to say about him as a player, as a man, as a leader.” Klinsmann knows how much he meant for the Americans reaching back-to-back World Cup knockout rounds. “I’m lucky to be in a long line of great goalkeepers,” Howard said when asked about his legacy. “I don’t think you can ever prepare yourself for those types of performances.”

Howard with congratulations and a team invite to the Pentagon. A photo from Howard’s high school yearbook even began circulating, featuring the quote, “It will take a nation of millions to hold me back.” Even Belgium captain Vincent Kompany tweeted: “Two words.. TIM HOWARD #Respect #BelUSA.” That post had received 59,675 re-tweets and 45,242 favorites by early evening Wednesday. “It’s fantastic because it also shows how all the games in the World Cup were received back at home,” U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said, “and many people watched this competition maybe more than it was four years ago in South Africa. It’s fun to see that, and he deserves every compliment for his game last night.” The hashtag ThingsTimHowardCouldSave was trending on Twitter, and fans superimposed his image into all sorts of famous scenes. There’s an outstretched Howard preventing the Titanic from sinking, and breaking up Diego Maradona’s “Hand of God” goal. “With social media, nothing surprises me,” Howard said. “There are some very creative and fun individuals out there.” The team was scheduled to fly back to the

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
History of the Liberty Bell Dear Readers: Happy July 4th! Here’s a little history of the Liberty Bell: The Pennsylvania Assembly ordered the Liberty Bell in 1751 to commemorate the 50-year anniversary of William Penn’s Charter of Privileges, the original Constitution of the state of Pennsylvania. On Nov. 1, 1751, a letter was sent to order a bell from Whitechapel Foundry in London and to inscribe on it a passage from Leviticus: “Proclaim LIBERTY throughout all the Land unto all the Inhabitants thereof -- Lev. XXV X. By Order of the ASSEMBLY of the Province of PENSYLVANIA for the State House in Philada.” The bell was hung on March 10, 1753, and cracked the first time it was struck. At the time, it was thought that the bell was too brittle. Two Philadelphia foundry workers named John Pass and John Stow were given the cracked bell to be melted down and recast. They added copper in an attempt to make the new bell less brittle. No one liked the sound, so Pass and Stow tried again. In November, the sound still wasn’t good enough, so a new one was ordered from Whitechapel. When the new bell arrived, it sounded no better than the other one, so the Whitechapel bell ended up in the cupola on the State House roof, and the Pass and Stow bell remained in the steeple. The Liberty Bell tolled when Benjamin Franklin was sent to England to address Colonial grievances, it tolled when King George III ascended to the throne in 1761, and it tolled to call together the people of Philadelphia to discuss the Sugar Act in 1764 and the Stamp Act in 1765. In October 1777, the British occupied Philadelphia. The Liberty Bell was hidden in the floorboards of the Zion Reformed Church in Allentown. According to tradition, it continued tolling for the First Continental Congress in 1774, the Battles of Lexington and Concord in 1775 and on July 8, 1776, when it summoned the citizenry for the reading of the Declaration of Independence. However, the steeple was in bad condition, and historians today doubt the likelihood of the story. The final expansion of the crack that rendered the bell unringable was on Washington’s birthday in 1846. The Liberty Bell was originally called the “State House Bell,” but abolitionists adopted it as a symbol and gave it the name “Liberty Bell” in 1837. In 1847, George Lippard wrote a fictional story for The Saturday Courier that told of an elderly bellman waiting in the State House steeple for word that Congress had declared independence. Suddenly the bellman’s grandson, who was eavesdropping at the doors of Congress, yelled to him, “Ring, Grandfather! Ring!” The story captured the imagination of the people, and the Liberty Bell was forever associated with the Declaration of Independence. Starting in the 1880s, the bell traveled to cities around the country “proclaiming liberty” and inspiring the cause of freedom. A replica of the Liberty Bell, forged in 1915, was used to promote women’s suffrage. It traveled the country with its clapper chained to its side, silent until women won the right to vote. On Sept. 25, 1920, it was brought to Independence Hall and rung in ceremonies celebrating the ratification of the 19th amendment. Each year, the bell is gently tapped in honor of Martin Luther King Day. On every Fourth of July, at 2 p.m. Eastern time, children who are descendants of Declaration signers symbolically tap the Liberty Bell 13 times while bells across the nation also ring 13 times in honor of the patriots from the original 13 states.

HINTS FROM HELOISE Dust in the Shade Dear Heloise: I never realized all the DUST that accumulates on the lampshades throughout the house. Ick! Do you have any hints for how to clean these (mostly cloth) lampshades? -- Diane T. in Ohio I do have some hints for these often-neglected areas, which can trap quite a bit of dust. If you have pleated lampshades, you can gently remove the dust by using a makeup brush, clean paintbrush or the dusting-brush attachment on your vacuum. For a flat lampshade, you also can use a makeup brush or paintbrush, but a lint roller works really well, particularly if you have pets and their hair is on the lampshade. For either style of lampshade, you also can try using a hair dryer on the “High” setting to blow off the dust. An added Heloise hint: Make cleaning these lampshades part of your regular dusting routine to keep dust to a minimum. -- Heloise QUICK FIND Dear Heloise: When we move, I always put the folded sheets, pillowcases, toilet paper, paper towels, some paper plates, plastic silverware, paper cups, bars of soap and any other items that are needed upon moving into the washer and dryer. This is an easy way to find them quickly. -- Carolyn in Abilene, Texas

YOUR HOROSCOPE Contract Bridge By Jaqueline Bigar
DOG EAT DOUG
Brian Anderson
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, July 3, 2014: This year you are far more stable than you have been in the past. You know what you want, and you know what direction you are heading in. You will witness an increase in your funds in the next 12 months, though you could spend as much as you bring in. Try to simplify. If you are single, you could meet someone out of the blue. This person might just be your soul mate. If you are attached, the two of you can be explosive in arguments, yet you always kiss and make up. Try to get to the bottom of what causes these upsets. VIRGO has a cold yet deliberate style of asking questions. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Let others fuss about the lastminute details of getting together this July 4th. A partner or dear friend will take the lead, but he or she still might complain. You’ll witness a change of tune with an older friend. Check in, and make sure that he or she feels OK. Tonight: In party mode. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Your imagination soars and clears up obstacles with ease. You might be more in the mood for a holiday party than you realize. Don’t hesitate to delegate any work involved with planning a get-together. Tonight: Let the party begin. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Stay anchored. You know what you want and how to get it. You could be exhausted by recent activities, and you easily could be cranky when dealing with others. Make it a point to let go of a problem that has been on the backburner. Tonight: A little rest and relaxation. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You’ll feel much better than you have in a while. Others might not agree with your plans for a fun few days. Though you love staying at home and enjoying all the creature comforts, not everyone else does. Be open to different suggestions. Tonight: Let the fireworks begin. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Be aware of your tendency to be overcritical. You suppress your ingenuity when you fall into a negative mindset. Pressure could build around what you must do. Understand that you might need to reorganize your schedule. Tonight: Treat a loved one to a celebration. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH You might not be aware of how much your natural, relaxed ways draw others to you. Resist becoming upset because of a hassle or two -- it is not worth it. An important bond you have with a child seems to be changing. Make an adjustment. Tonight: Let it all hang out. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You need some downtime. Even if you are out and about, you are likely to remain closed off. Wouldn’t it be better to take off for a day or two and get some “you” time? Reach out to a loved one at a distance and share what ails you. Tonight: Nap first, then decide. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Zero in on friends’ plans, and maintain an even pace in order to clear up what must be done. Be more forthright in how you deal with a close relative or loved one. This seems to be changing in front of your eyes. Tonight: Where the people are. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might feel pressured once more by a parent or loved one. Be sure to respond to others’ authority and concerns. You could feel as if you have to respond to each request, thus creating more stress for yourself. Allow others to pitch in more often. Tonight: Celebrate. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Connect with someone at a distance whom you might have plans with for the holiday. You have the ability to clear out a lot of obstacles quickly. A friend or loved one might seem remote. Don’t read too much into this, as he or she behaves like this often. Tonight: Switch gears. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Someone you care a lot about could be quite demanding. Don’t allow this person to force your hand. How you see a situation could be changing. Listen to your intuition about what is going on. Maybe you can root out the problem. Tonight: Join a friend. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Crosswords
HHHH Others come forward with suggestions. They seem to be very concerned about how you feel. Let them dote on you for a change, as it usually is the other way around. Do yourself a favor and relax. Forget about entertaining; instead, be entertained. Tonight: Enjoy the evening. BORN TODAY Novelist Franz Kafka (1883), actor Tom Cruise (1962), journalist Julian Assange (1971)

Hyper • Local
It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newspapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore.

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