High Street housing repairs to cost $51k By Peter Francis Staff Writer BOSTON – Monday’s annual meeting of the Massachusetts Chapter of the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment officials bore good news for the city of Westfield’s Housing Authority. Massachusetts Undersecretary for Housing and Community Development (DHCD) Aaron Gornstein announced $5 million in funding aimed at renovating and repairing public housing units statewide. “Affordable public housing is in high demand across the state,” said Gornstein. “These additional dedicated funds will provide local housing authorities with new tools and funding to extend the life of our current housing stock and also provide key services and resources for residents.” Of that $5 million, Westfield will receive $51,000. The Western Mass Consortium, which includes Springfield’s HAP Housing, and the Agawam, Chicopee, Holyoke and Northampton housing authorities, will also receive $362,200. Western Mass Consortium’s piece of the pie will be issued through the Massachusetts Learning, Employment and Asset Program (MassLEAP), a five-year program which provides participants with services that “support meaningful and sustained earned income growth through career and employment planning and post-secondary education advances.” In Westfield, the Housing Authority is ready to utilize the funds, allocated to the DHCD by the Family and Elderly Public Housing Re-occupancy Initiative, to revive one city-owned parcel in particular. “We’re using that $51,000 to repair 8 High Street, which has been offline for approximately five years,” said Dan Kelly of the Westfield Housing Authority. “We have one side rented, but we don’t have the other side rented.” According to Kelly, the unit’s unoccupied side has some serious work ahead of it. “There’s massive repairs that have to be done to get it back on line and up to code so we can start renting the place out,” he said, adding that the city will be contracting the services of local vendors to conduct the much-needed renovations and repairs. “There’s massive repairs we’ve got to do. We’ve got to kind of jack the house back up.” See Housing, Page 3

Dollars For Scholars awards scholarships By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – Although the Citizen’s Scholarship Foundation has changed its name to Dollars For Scholars, the mission of providing money for education remains the same. On May 20, Southwick Dollars For Scholars awarded $31,500 through 68 scholarships to Southwick residents, the most money awarded in recent history. “I don’t remember the last time we had that much money,” said Dollars For Scholars volunteer Ken Haar. Dollars For Scholars President Debbie Patryn said the group changed its name to be more in line with the national program. The name change allows the local group to access a larger pool of scholarships. “We get national Dollars For Scholars recognition, posts on their website, and we’re open to more funds,” said Patryn. People typically think of scholarship awards as something for high school seniors but Patryn said post-grads are also eligible for many scholarships. “In fact, students can get scholarships all four years of college if they apply,” said Haar. Scholarships average $500 each. Two $1,500 awards were given in Southwick this year. Patryn said the checks are written to the student’s college and put toward their tuition or expenses.

By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – After months of deliberation, the Westfield School Committee has approved a budget to present to the City Council for the fiscal year 2015. During a short special meeting last night, Director of Technology and Business Services Ron Rix stood before the committee with his new $56,693,417 budget request, which was subsequently approved by the committee. “That budget level is $935,445 less than what we had brought forward in our original budget of need,” said Rix. “(We’ve) worked with the Human Resources and the Superintendent and the Mayor’s Office to identify offsets that we can bring forward that, at this point, do not hurt the district.” Rix added that the cuts included no layoffs due to budgetary reasons, and that severance pay reduction is something his department has worked with Mayor Daniel M. Knapik on extensively. Offsets for the new budget include $535,445 in severance pay, $253,923 in staff attrition and changes, $77,633 in additional retirement savings, and $68,444 in reduced contract expenses. “The $253,923 in attrition are movements that we can make. What this is, is that our staff realize that we don’t need the positions, or we’ve got some retirements or juggling in Human Resources that can cover that,” Rix said, adding that the timing of the new budget is ‘perfect.’ See School Budget, Page 3

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A local farmer said Tuesday that his family has cultivated grain crops on the property of the Wielgus Trust for more than a decade, countering a position taken by the city which is seeking to take 33 acres of that land. Mike Kosinski said that he has leased the Wielgus property since the late 1990s. “So we’ve been farming that land for the past 12 or 13 years,” Kosinski, whose family owns farm stands on Shaker Road and Russellville Road, said. “Right now I have a crop of winter wheat that I will harvest later this spring and then I’ll get a crop of soy beans in there for a fall harvest. Last year I grew a crop of winter rye, then corn.” Kosinski said he “rents a lot of land, almost 450 acres in Westfield.” Mayor Daniel M. Knapik said that he was notified by the Executive Office of

Two bridges dismantled Wednesday By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Two cranes towered into the sky over the city yesterday, used to remove the former railroad bridge spanning East Silver Street and to remove the temporary sidewalk providing pedestrian access to and from Prospect Hill during the reconstruction of the Pochassic Street (Drug Store Hill) Bridge. City Engineer Mark Cressotti said the East Silver Street Bridge was removed as part of the current construction phase of the Columbia Greenway project which will extend the rail trail from the current terminus just south of the Tin Bridge across Little River to East Silver Street. The Board of Public Works voted to award Part 2 of the South Phase of the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail construction project to ET&L Corporation of Stow. ET&L submitted the low bid of $2,297,538 to construct the next three quarters of a mile of the trail, work that includes extensive bridge work. “The bridge was removed as a change order to the rail trail contract,” Cressotti said. “We incorporated $77,000 into the contract for the bridge removal.” The project bid included construction of a trail along a former railroad spur servicing Commercial Distributing Corp. and the former Strathmore Paper plant, both on South Broad Street. The city was negotiating with Sullivan Transportation, the current owner of the former See Two Bridges, Page 3

Are you smoking pot? ‘Why, yes, I am, officer’ SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — Massachusetts police say a Springfield man blew through a stop sign and also blew a cloud of marijuana smoke when he was pulled over. An officer enforcing seat belt laws as part of the annual “Click It or Ticket” campaign saw a vehicle drive through a stop sign Tuesday evening. When the driver stopped and rolled down the window, police say, the officer was “covered in a plume of smoke.” Sgt. John Delaney says the officer asked: “Are you smoking marijuana while operating this motor vehicle?” The driver allegedly responded: “Why, yes, I am, officer.” The 30-year-old driver was scheduled for arraignment Wednesday on charges of operating under the influence of drugs, failure to obey a stop sign, and failure to wear a seat belt.

School Budget Continued from Page 1 “Monday, we processed additional retirements but, projecting the savings of the current salaries of what we budget coming in, saves another $77,633.” “On the expense side, we have some contracts and contracted services we can reduce by $68,444 because of contributions on the city side and some changing of programs,” he continued. Finance Chairman Kevin Sullivan asked which contracts would see reductions, to which Rix responded that combining some school and city functions will enable them to save that money. “We’re looking at some of our maintenance issues as we move to a citywide HVAC or facilities system that can reduce some of the supplies in there that need to be covered,” Rix said. Committee member Diane Mayhew was curious about the staff attrition savings, and asked Rix for an example of what could possibly happen with those cuts. “We have some special eds where we’ve identified it, folks whose kids are moving on,” he said. “Because of a retirement somewhere else, we can move that person into another position rather than bump somebody or lay them off.” “It’s the juggling, a natural flow of teachers coming and going,” Westfield Superintendent Dr. Suzanne Scallion said. “You might have a regular teacher that’s taking a position in the eastern part of the state because of a family move, so we take a

teacher at another site who teaches that grade level and we move them.” “If you save $50,000 because a teacher has left us, it’s not a layoff,” she said, stating they have identified five positions which fit this situation. “If somebody retired now, going forward we’d have to replace them with a new employee. It’s a slight savings because the salary of the new employee will be lower.” Mayor Knapik, who does double duty as school committee chairman, said that he has spoken with Rix and Scallion at length to reach a number he was comfortable with. “Within the last week we were able to meet a few times on this, with the Superintendent and Ron, to reach a point which we could guarantee that the city side would support,” he said. “It ends up being an increase of $1.1 million (from FY14).” Rix added that a $142,000 increase in Chapter 70 funding and local contributions have been instrumental in helping increase the budget. After the approval of the budget, Sullivan spoke of the process of getting the budget where it needed to be. “After the presentation at South Middle School, we had a hole to fill and we knew we had a hole to fill,” he said. “As I’ve learned the past seven years, doing a budget this time of year is a moving target. When it gets into May and early June, you never know what the state’s going to come down with.” “Kudos to the administration, to the Mayor’s office, and everyone at City Hall. There was great communication between us, all the parties involved, to get us to this point.” Sullivan said. “Hopefully, as we move this off to the city council side, we can continue the discussion and make sure we have their questions answered for them.” “This was probably the hardest budget for sure,” said Knapik. “But the ease in which the conversation has gone back and forth, the expediency of the new calculations, the general overall functioning of the school department has been much to my satisfaction.” Knapik stated that this approved budget will be presented to the City Council at their next meeting in two weeks.
Strathmore plan and the rail spur, to purchase that land for a bicycle access. But that negotiation has stalled while Commercial Distributing negotiates using that property for an expansion. The City Council has approved the first reading for a much smaller land taking that will provide access from the train to Coleman Avenue. The second reading and final passage of that order of taking is expected to occur at the June 5 City Council Session. The city substituted the bridge removal for the spur construction and still has a credit of $280,000 because of the change of scope. A new East Silver Street Bridge will be constructed as part of the central phase of the Columbia Greenway project. The Middle Phase of the rail trail from East Silver Street to Orange Street, which includes replacement or improvements to six bridges, is being financed from a different funding source, Cressotti said. The cost of that phase is estimated at $6.7 million because of the number of bridges involved. The bridges over East Silver, Main, Thomas, Chapel and Orange streets will be replaced. The Elm Street Bridge is being preserved. East Silver Street residents and employees of Coleman Avenue companies watched the contractor dismantle the former railroad bridge as the crane lifted I-beam pieces onto the rail trail staging area. The steel cable of the crane were just several feet from power lines cross East Silver Street next to the bridge. One resident commented that the bridge removal will result in an increase of truck traffic as truckers begin to use the East Silver Street/Noble Street corridor as a cut through to avoid downtown traffic. Another resident countered that residents living near the bridge will no longer be awakened by the frequent impact of trucks slamming into the bridge. The $2.6 million Pochassic Street Bridge reconstruction work is being performed by R. Bates & Sons, Inc., of Clinton, and included construction of a temporary pedestrian bridge From Montgomery Street down over the railroad tracks to Old Pochassic Road in front of Tierney Insurance at the old depot. Yesterday a crane was used to lift a large steel support structure used in the temporary pedestrian bridge onto the newly reconstructed bridge. “The sidewalk of the new bridge is open for pedestrian traffic and the city is anticipating a June opening for vehicular traffic, Cressotti said.

‘Heck of a job,’ Shinseki? By Carrie Budoff Brown Politico.com President Barack Obama nearly committed his own “heck of a job, Brownie” moment Wednesday. As outrage mounts over alleged misconduct at the Department of Veterans Affairs, Obama appeared on the verge of sounding perilously out of touch when he began offering a strong defense of Secretary Eric Shinseki during his first extended remarks on the scandal. “So, you know, if you ask me, you know, how do I think Ric Shinseki has performed overall?” Obama said, choosing his words carefully. “I would say that on homelessness, on the 9/11 GI Bill, on working with us to reduce the backlog across the board, he has put his heart and soul into this thing and he has taken it very seriously.” Then the president caught himself. “But I have said to Ric, and I said it to him today,” Obama said, “I want to see, you know, what the results of these reports are, and there is going to be accountability.” The Obama White House prides itself on resisting demands for an immediate sacrificial firing when something goes wrong. The preferred course has often been to reaffirm some level of support for the official under fire until an investigation is complete, ride out the negative publicity and reassess when Washington’s attention has turned elsewhere. Obama seemed headed in that direction again Wednesday, bringing to mind former President George W. Bush’s ill-timed praise of his Federal Emergency Management Agency director, Michael Brown, during the slow response to Hurricane Katrina: “Brownie, you’re doing a heck of a job.” But Obama’s statement marked a slight, but significant, departure from his normal playbook. He openly contemplated the possibility that Shinseki might have to go, pending the results of a series of internal reviews of the allegations of bureaucratic maneuvering to hide wait times at VA health facilities. This window into his thought process on a personnel matter is one that he rarely opens for the public, preferring not to give an inch to critics. The president pledged accountability for the failed launch of HealthCare.gov, but he stood by outgoing Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius because he thought removing her would be too disruptive. He expressed confidence in former Energy Secretary Steven Chu when he faced allegations of mismanagement during the Solyndra scandal that the White House considered politically motivated. Both officials left the Cabinet after the calls for their resignations had died down. Shinseki may well follow the same path as Sebelius and Chu, sticking around long after the feeding frenzy ends. But Obama went further than he routinely does by suggesting that one of his handpicked appointees may have to take the fall if the practice of doctoring records to cover up wait times is widespread across the VA system. “I know that Ric’s attitude is, if he does not think he can do a good job on this and if he thinks he’s let our veterans down, then I’m sure that he is not going to be interested in continuing to serve,” Obama said. The president clearly sought to strike a balance between acknowledging that the agency may have screwed up and touting what he views as its very significant achievements. If he went too far in his praise of Shinseki, Obama risked looking like he was ignoring facts on the ground, which Twitter users picked up on by recycling the “Brownie” line. But if he ignored his administration’s progress, he would leave himself open to further attacks. Obama and his senior aides used measured language to describe Shinseki’s overall job performance, consciously trying to avoid an overly positive sound bite that could haunt them. A senior administration official said Shinseki remains in the position because Obama believes he has made headway on difficult problems such as reducing the backlog of disability benefits claims and getting homeless veterans off the streets. (Also on POLITICO: Obama demands VA answers) Obama devoted a large part of his remarks to praising the agency for what it’s done right: “historic investments” in veterans, expanded benefits to more than 2 million veterans who didn’t previously have access, the handling of more than 85 million appointments a year and increased job training for veterans. “The point is, caring for our veterans is not an issue that popped up in recent weeks,” Obama said. He later added: “I don’t want us to lose sight of the fact that there are a lot of folks in the VA who are doing a really good job and working really hard at it.” The administration official also pointed to the continued bipartisan support on Capitol Hill for Shinseki, a retired four-star Army general and Vietnam veteran with two Purple Hearts. (Brown, meanwhile, infamously served with the International Arabian Horse Association before joining FEMA.) Resignation calls are not yet widespread. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) criticized Obama’s remarks as “late and really nothing specific,” but he stopped short of calling for Shinseki’s resignation. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said “a new team” was needed at Veterans Affairs, but Shinseki should stay if he has the president’s confidence. Sens. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who met jointly Wednesday with White House chief of staff Denis McDonough, also brushed aside calls for Shinseki to step down. “They have to get to the bottom of what’s going on in Arizona, there’s no doubt about it,” Tester said. “I think we’ve got to get the facts and move forward on the facts. If you take a look at the VA from a Montana perspective they do a pretty damn good job.” Lawmakers were eager to hear from the president, who took steps behind the scenes to deal with the issue, including sending a close aide, Rob Nabors, to work with Shinseki on the review. But Obama had not spoken publicly about it since late April. Sen. Mark Begich (D-Alaska) said in an interview Tuesday that he wanted to see more decisive leadership from Obama. “I’m glad the president put someone in, but this one, he should be riding on everyday,” Begich said. “Everyday he should be on this veterans issue and say, ‘Where are the results?’ If you’re not getting the results, somebody needs to go.” Two House Democrats — Georgia Reps. David Scott and John Barrow — have called on Shinseki to leave. Jeremy Herb and Burgess Everett contributed to this report.
Clinton allies pressured Dems on Benghazi By Jake Sherman and Anna Palmer Politico.com Hillary Clinton’s world was so worried about a Republican investigation of the Benghazi attacks, they sent a message to House Democrats: We need backup. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) publicly considered boycotting the panel, an idea that Clinton supporters feared would leave the potential 2016 candidate exposed to the enemy fire of House Republicans. So Clinton emissaries launched a back channel campaign, contacting several House Democratic lawmakers and aides to say they’d prefer Democrats participate, according to sources familiar with the conversations. Pelosi’s staff said they have not heard from Clinton’s camp. On Wednesday, Pelosi appointed five Democrats to the committee, giving Democrats another crucial mission in the months ahead of what was already a tough election year: act as Clinton’s first line of defense. “Republicans are making it clear they plan to use the power of the Benghazi Select Committee to continue to politicize the tragedy that occurred in Benghazi, which is exactly why Democratic participation in the committee is vital,” a Democrat close to Clinton world said. “Inevitably, witnesses ranging from Secretary Clinton to Secretary [John] Kerry will be subpoenaed to testify, and the Democrats appointed to the committee will help restore a level of sanity to the hearings, which would otherwise exist solely as a political witch hunt.” As Republicans continue their high-profile probe into the deadly attacks in Benghazi, Clinton is center stage. Over the next few months, Republicans on the committee will work to build a case against her, and they will attempt to haul her to Capitol Hill to testify. Clinton and her allies know from experience the kind of damage an emboldened Republican House committee can inflict. If Clinton testifies, it will almost certainly be one of the blockbuster moments for the committee and an important prelude as she considers a second run for the White House. Some Democrats are already worried that they have been too slow to prepare for the expected partisan battles on Benghazi. Republicans have been teeing up for months. Pelosi asked some Democratic lawmakers to be on the panel Wednesday and it is unclear exactly how they will handle staffing matters. Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) announced last week that he was bringing on lobbyist Phil Kiko to be the majority staff director for the committee. Lawmakers in both parties are slated to huddle Thursday to discuss how they will proceed. Pelosi told reporters Wednesday that she doesn’t think Clinton or Kerry needs the help of House Democrats, but that she moved to appoint members to the panel for all the other people whom Republicans might call. “And when it was not guaranteed that we would have access to who they were in sufficient time in advance to prepare … that really argued in favor of saying let’s not worry again about the Hillary Clintons and the John Kerrys, they can fend for themselves, but let’s make sure there is not an exploitation of information because we did not have access to these other people that were called,” the California Democrat said. Pelosi picked Reps. Linda Sanchez and Adam Schiff of California, Adam Smith of Washington state and Tammy Duckworth of Illinois to fill the panel. Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, will serve as ranking member.
Of course, Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and his Republican leadership team are keenly aware of the select committee becoming a witch hunt, focused solely on bruising and bloodying a potential presidential candidate. Furthermore, Boehner and his aides have made it clear that the committee members must become conversant in the facts of the Benghazi attacks before calling witnesses. One slip-up, Republicans say, could undermine their entire effort. Gowdy, whom Boehner entrusted with the probe, said in an interview that Pelosi made “great picks.” “The ones that I know well are very thoughtful and very smart, and I have a great working relationship with them,” Gowdy said. The South Carolina Republican declined to address how he’ll handle any questioning of Clinton. He said that he believes closed depositions — not open hearings — are the best way to extract information from witnesses. Open hearings are best to have the public decide between two divergent views of the same situation, he said. But Gowdy declined to say whether Clinton will be deposed, cross-examined in a public hearing — or both. “I’m not foreclosing any avenue of information,” he said. Asked whether Clinton will he brought to Capitol Hill, Gowdy said, “without specific reference to any individual, if someone has knowledge surrounding a relevant fact, I would expect the committee to talk to them.” “You’re a smart guy, do you think she has knowledge surrounding any relevant facts?” Gowdy said. Democrats are hoping that Republicans turn this into a circus — and their affinity for bashing Clinton becomes clear. “The creation of this committee is solely for propaganda, for politics,” said Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), a veteran of congressional oversight who lobbied Pelosi to seat Democrats on the panel. “It’s rather cheap, in my opinion, because after all the other committees held hearings and looked at the issue, and there was nothing there. But Republicans are trying to make a scandal there where there is none. And they’re doing it to go after Hillary Clinton, among others. It’s my view that since they they’re creating this committee, we shouldn’t stay away, we should be part of it. For no other reason than to point out how unfair it is.” Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) echoed Waxman’s position, saying that “even a kangaroo court would be better off with a defense attorney” and that it’s important for Democrats on the panel to step up and make sure Republicans on the panel aren’t badgering witnesses. Pelosi eventually came around to their point of view, and appointed several Democrats who have investigated the attacks. In an interview just moments before Pelosi announced him as the panel’s top Democrat, Cummings said while he’s “concerned about the attacks” against Clinton, he has “no hesitancy saying she’ll be able to deal with it.” “Yeah it’s a concern because the Republicans will attack Hillary Clinton by any means necessary,” Cummings said, sitting just outside the House chamber. “But I think she can hold her own. And I think that the Clintons are so used to being attacked.” New York Rep. Eliot Engel said Democrats “shouldn’t allow” the investigation to be “made about one person. “I think the American public feels that Hillary Clinton did an outstanding job as secretary of state and if Republicans are using Benghazi to blemish her record, I don’t think it will stick,” Engel said.

Behind Bars Continued from Page 1 although her boyfriend had been there she could no longer find him. But, Berry reports in a court document, she also “indicated to me that she believed he was hiding in a loft.” He wrote “She stated he knew the incident was going to violate the terms of his parole and he would be sent back to prison, if caught.” After Sgt. Paul Coakley arrived to assist and the victim and her son were moved safely outside, Davidson was found hiding between mattresses in the loft but did not cooperate at all and struggled to avoid being handcuffed. Once cuffed, Davidson used his legs to resist being moved to a cruiser, all the while cursing and calling the troopers pejorative names. Berry reports that even after he was placed in the cruiser Davidson continued to resist, attempting to kick Coakley when he reached into the backseat to fasten his seatbelt, and fought to get out of the cruiser until Berry applied a burst of pepper spray. Berry reports that on the trip to the barracks “his demeanor changed back and forth between crying and begging that he not be sent to jail, and being belligerent and threatening.” When he reached Westfield District Court for arraignment, Judge Philip A. Contant noted his “extensive record out of New York” and his apparent parole violation by leaving that state without permission when he set bail at $10,000 after his arraignment on charges of assault and battery, assault and battery on a police officer and resisting arrest. When Davidson appeared before Contant again, on May 9, he pleaded guilty to the three charges. Contant sentenced him to three concurrent 14-month terms, with credit for time served, with a recommendation that his sentence be served at the Howard Street jail, more formally known as the Western Massachusetts Correctional Alcohol Center, a facility designed to provide for the custody, care and treatment of addicted offenders.

Wielgus Land Continued from Page 1 positive recommendation to the full council for the appropriation of $260,000 to pay for the property taken by the city. The issue was sent to the council’s Legislative & Ordinance Committee for further review. Eminent domain takings require a super majority of the City Council, an affirmative vote of nine (9) members to be approved. Last Thursday the council, on a recall vote of 8-4 approved the referral of the eminent domain taking to the L&O. Ward 4 Councilor Mary O’Connell requested a roll call vote on the referral, which was approved. O’Connell and At-large Councilors David A. Flaherty, Cindy Harris and Dan Allie cast the dissenting votes to refer the Finance Committee’s recommendation to the L&O. The Wielgus land taking is directly linked to the Ashley Street elementary school construction project as a result of a Article 97 suit filed by Cross Street residents. Article 97 provides legal protections to deter development that would consume park land. Article 97 proscribes a remedy to park land takings called a conversion process in which new land is developed to replace the park land taken for a project, the school construction. The city has complied with the Article 97 conversion to replace 1.37 acres of the Cross Street playground with the proposed purchase of 33 acres from the Weilgus Trust. The entire Article 97 issue is further clouded by court decisions, made after Hampden Superior Court Judge Tina Page issued the temporary restraining order in early September, 2012, in which the courts limited Article 97 protection and distinguished between parks and playgrounds. At-large Councilor James R. Adams said the city’s interest in acquiring the Wielgus property far outdates the Ashley School project. Adams said he began to discuss the purchase of the property from the Wielgus family six or seven years ago. “We knew back then that we needed addi-
tional ball fields and this is a big piece of land, prime land with about two feet of loam where we could go in and just make the ball fields,” Adams said. “We’ve been trying to negotiate with Alice (Wielgus) for a long time, trying the friendly route where both sides are happy, but I don’t think that’s going to happen. The school project was not in the picture then.” Adams said the original discussion was for a larger piece of the property, including the house at 170 Main Street, located next to the Fenton Leasing complex and for a purchase price substantially higher than the $260,000 attached to the eminent domain taking. “I’m hoping that we can bring that number up, but right now we’re limited by the legal process,” Adams said. “I’d rather see a deal for a higher amount.” Adams said the city has funding available, money paid to the city by the state when the Tekoa Reservoir in Montgomery was placed under a conservation restriction. The state paid the city $1 million, informally called “fish money,” to use for open space acquisition. The city tapped that fund for just under $200,000 to purchase the Boardman property on Montgomery Street next the Westfield High School that was then developed into athletic fields. “I think we could use that pot of money to benefit the entire city,” Adams said. “We could develop a ball-field complex to bring tournaments, and revenue from those, into the city.” Adams said the location of the fields is next to the Westfield River Levee which city officials hope to develop into the Riverwalk Trail as an extension of the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail and that the Wielgus property could be developed to provide parking facilities and access to the Riverwalk Trail. Alice Wielgus is currently represented by Attorney Robert Quinn of the Springfield law firm of Egan Flanagan & Cohen.

Andrea Lynn Green, Mark Nelson, Stacey Sargeant, and Caryn West complete the cast. Christopher Durang, the

Christopher Durang’s plays include “Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You”, “Beyond Therapy”, “A History of the American Film”, “The Marriage of Bette and Boo” and “For Whom The Southern Belle Tolls”, his silly parody of
Tennessee Williams’ “The Glass Menagerie. Durang, a Yale Drama School graduate, often teamed up with classmate Sigourney Weaver at The Yale Cabaret to perform parodies like “Das Lusitania Songspiel”.

Her husband has filed for divorce, her daughter has eloped with a much older man, and her own health is in jeopardy. But in this brilliantly crafted work, nothing is as it seems. Piece by piece, a mystery unfolds as fact blurs with fiction, past collides with present, and the elusive truth about Juliana boils to the surface.

Victoria Camp, 0-for-2 in her two previous at-bats, delivered the game-winning hit in the seventh to keep the Bombers unbeaten at 19-0. “It was an unbelievable game – the kids were just fantastic,” Westfield head softball coach Joe Stella said. “It wasn’t by any stretch our best game defensively. (Pitcher) Sarah (McNerney) was not as sharp as usual, but to come back for four runs in the seventh inning when we’re down by three was unbelievable.”
Kaitlyn Puza (2-for-3 double, 2 runs, 2 RBIs) led off the seventh with a walk. Lexi Minicucci (3-for-4, 3 runs, RBI), who has been hot at the plate as of late, singled. Analise Eak (double, 2 runs, RBI) walked to load the bases. Karly Mastello (3-for-4, 2 doubles, 4 RBIs, run) followed with a two-run double to pull Westfield within one, 9-8. Rachel Swords knotted the game 9-9 with a sac-RBI, setting up the big hit from See Softball, Page 11

Curtis Dowers was the lone Gator to club a hit, a secondinning double. He also struck out 10 batters in 5 1-3 innings, matching Sullivan until the game got away late. Gateway senior catcher Justin Edinger recorded his first varsity strikeout in an inning of relief pitching on the mound. He allowed two hits, no walks, and no runs. The Gators (12-7 overall, 7-3 league) will close out the regular season Friday at Hampshire Regional. BOYS’ TRACK & FIELD Southwick-Tolland 89, Putnam 47 Johnathan Collins won four events – long jump (18-4), high jump (5-10), 400 meters (56.3), and 200 meters (3.3) – to lead Southwick. Chris Roy was the other multiple event winner, capturing first place in the mile (5:34) and 2 mile (12:04).

Marathon Challenge held in Westfield By Hannah Y. Meader WHS Intern WESTFIELD – On Friday, Stanley Park played host to The New England Challenge’s Old Colony marathon race, part of an ambitious marathon series. The New England Challenge consists of five marathons held in five different states throughout five consecutive days. This year the challenge began in Maine then traveled onto New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut and ended in Massachusetts.
Race Director Chuck Savage got the idea from another race series called the Mainly Marathons. Savage saw that the Mainly Marathons hadn’t covered the New England area and Savage then wanted to create the opportunity for runners to participate in a series on the East Coast. “It occurred to me to do something,” said Savage. “We wanted runners to be able to participate in multiple races all in one trip”. Close to 100 runners from across the country participated in the marathon, about 60 of
whom who had already run all of the four previous days in the Challenge. There were passionate runners and walkers of all ages, some who had come all the way from states like Chicago and Minnesota. “People were from everywhere. I applauded everyone who went by,” said Stanley Park Managing Director Robert Mckean. “It was quite a thrill and I was so impressed”. It was a pleasant surprise to McKean when the Challenge first approached the park asking to use it as the race location. The previous year
the New England Challenge used Forest Park in Springfield as the Massachusetts race location, but this year wanted a safer route so that the runners wouldn’t have to be out in the traffic. “We are always interested in bringing other people to the park,” said McKean. “It’s really great to see things like this happening.” Race results and more information on the marathon series can be found at www.newenglandchallenge.org

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Hiding Out ... Dear Annie: At least once a week, my oldest daughter, “Alice,” asks me to babysit her two kids. I have back problems and cannot get up and down all the time. She has never offered me a dime, even when she was married and had two incomes. I could use the money. Alice recently went through a divorce. I babysat a lot during that time, but she never showed any appreciation. Alice blames me for everything bad that has ever happened to her, because I divorced her father. So I feel guilty and agree to babysit all the time. Of course, their father moved away without saying goodbye to any of the kids and was out of their lives for seven years, leaving me with two teenagers and a 9-year-old to raise on my own. He never paid a drop of child support. I am remarried, and my husband and I like to have the weekends to ourselves. We would love it if Alice brought the kids over for a visit and stayed. But she drops them at the front door and speeds away. She is often gone for hours. She doesn’t answer her cellphone when I call to ask when she’s coming back. The kids run out to her car, and she zips off. Alice never phones just to talk, only to ask me to babysit. If I don’t answer, she drives over and pounds on my door. I’m afraid to sit on the porch for fear she will show up and ask me to babysit. All of the children are now reunited with their father. Why doesn’t Alice ask him to babysit once in a while? -- Hiding Out in Indiana Dear Hiding Out: You need to be more assertive with Alice. Tell her that you’d like her to visit once in a while instead of using you as a drop-off service. Also say that you love the kids, but cannot babysit so much. Be sure she knows you mean it. It’s OK to say no, even if it makes her angry. If you want to work out some type of payment, that’s between the two of you, but don’t be afraid to bring it up. Dear Annie: I am an 87-year-old widower and am appalled at the number of letters in your column about bickering between parents, children, siblings, grandparents, friends, husbands and wives. I wish I could share some of the love I am blessed to experience. After my wife of 52 years died, I went out late at night to clear snow from the church parking lot. Upon returning, there were four messages on my answering machine, and my granddaughter was calling to say her father was on his way to check on me -- a 40-mile round trip. So for the past 15 years, they have called every night, no matter where they are. My son-in-law uses a week of his vacation to drive 1,500 miles to check on my 90-year-old sister. And he drives 80 miles on Sundays to get me to church. My granddaughters take me to the doctor, and my nephew and his wife often take me to dinner. My wife’s family includes me in their get-togethers. My son calls daily, and my grandson fills in when his family is out of town. We reap what we sow. Love is like an echo: What you do or say will return to you. -- A Blessed Grandpaw Dear Grandpaw: It warms our hearts to know how close and loving your family is. We wish everyone were so cherished. Thank you. Dear Annie: This is for “Grimacing in Sarasota, Fla.” and all the toilet hoverers: Use a piece of toilet tissue to pick up the seat. Then hover all you want. When finished, use another piece of tissue to put the seat back down. Piece of cake! -- Ruth in Davenport, Iowa Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.
HINTS FROM HELOISE LEFTOVER SEAFOOD Dear Heloise: I have always been afraid to take home leftovers from a seafood restaurant. And I won’t save seafood dishes that I have cooked in my own home, either. Can you safely keep leftover fish and shellfish dishes, and if so, for how long? -- Linda W. in New York You sure can, Linda, so start taking home those leftovers for the next day! The U.S. Department of Agriculture states that fish and shellfish leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator for three to four days, or stored in the freezer for up to three months. As always, though, make sure the food smells good and not “fishy” before reheating and eating. -- Heloise EXTRA EGGS Dear Heloise: When we buy a new carton of eggs, we usually have a few left from the old carton. We have tried to precariously balance them on top of the new carton, with predictable, messy results. I finally had the idea of cutting an empty egg carton apart and saving a portion of the end that can securely hold our leftover eggs. There is no room in the space in the refrigerator door where the egg carton fits, but there is extra room in the butter drawer. We know to use any eggs stored here first, as they are older, and we haven’t had any breakage yet. -- Jason S. in Ohio

YOUR HOROSCOPE Contract Bridge By Jaqueline Bigar
DOG EAT DOUG
SCARY GARY
Brian Anderson
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, May 22, 2014: This year you experience career-related demands. You will do your best to keep up with your work, and perhaps you’ll cater to a select few. You might be quite different in a professional setting from how you are in your personal life. This schism sometimes creates tension. If you are single, you will want to relate more closely to someone who feels like the right match for you. Give yourself a little time, and perhaps do a lot of dating. If you are attached, you will notice sooner rather than later that you will be relating to your significant other a lot more. You will feel like you are getting to know each other all over again. PISCES clearly enjoys your ability to talk about many different issues. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie
ON a CLAIRE DAY Carla Ventresca and Henry Beckett
ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe
ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Read between the lines with a boss. Note what is going on around you, and weigh the pros and cons of a situation. You will be happy once you get the results you desire. A family member or a hassle around your home suddenly seems more positive. Tonight: Where all the action is. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Zero in on a friendship that means a lot to you. Your ability to get past an immediate hassle points to better interactions with people. You’ll see the results of sticking with it play out well. You now can look at the whole picture and decide if it is worth it. Tonight: Play it easy. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Pressure builds around a professional situation and a close partner. Your attitude will define how you approach juggling different interests. You can use this opportunity to empower yourself. If you decide not to, you could make matters worse. Tonight: Out on the town. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Approach a situation in a different way. You might be exhausted by recent developments, and you could want to toss the whole matter aside. You are coming from a position of strength. Honor the possibility of a fast response being in your favor. Tonight: Read between the lines. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You are willing to do whatever you need to do in order to have a situation work. A partner might need to change his or her attitude. Your sixth sense will point you toward the correct path. Use your imagination when considering your long-term goals. Tonight: Keep it low-key. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You might not mean to be as challenging as you are right now. Your attitude toward a fellow associate and/or a romantic tie seems to be changing. Express how much you value a friendship, and act accordingly. Tonight: In the thick of things. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Defer to others, and recognize when enough is enough. You could be feeling overtired and drained by work and many other obligations. Maintain a positive attitude with a boss, no matter what. You could receive a pleasant surprise. Use care with your finances. Tonight: Work late. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You will want to tap into your imagination for answers. Your unusual creativity allows others to open up and express themselves in a similar way. If you allow your feelings to flow, you will not make a bad choice. Tonight: Go for something spontaneous. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You have an innate resourcefulness that often comes into play when facing a difficult situation. Pressure builds, as you will be juggling key people in your life and a domestic situation. You will come to an appropriate solution, given some time and space. Tonight: Relax. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Keep communication open. Be more forthright when approaching others, especially as one person seems more positive than usual. Expect the unexpected, and you will not be thrown off as easily. Avoid a friend who frequently is a downer. Tonight: Clear out as much work as possible. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Be more deliberate in how
Cryptoquip
Crosswords
you handle a situation. Do not minimize the importance of working as a team, even if it is difficult to pull in one person who often is aloof. Be smart, and say “no” to a financial risk. Tonight: Think about your weekend plans. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH There seems to be a lot of energy around you. With some self-discipline, you can accomplish a lot right now. You’ll need to have a long-overdue conversation with someone who is difficult. Use your innate ingenuity and energy. Tonight: Home is where your heart is.
