Vapor sales approved at Southwick car business

By HOPE E. TREMBLAY Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – A used auto dealership on College Highway will soon offer something people don’t usually associate with cars – nicotine delivery products.

The Planning Board approved a special permit for the sale of the products, mainly consisting of vapors and flavored oils, this week at 10/202 Auto at 797 College Highway.

During a public hearing, owner Joel Faillace said he knew it was an unusual request, but he believed there was a need for it in the area.

“I got the idea because a lot of people at my wife’s work quit smoking and use the vapors,” Faillace said, adding he would sell only “high-end products.”

SCHOOL STREET IS RE-OPENED!

By AMY PORTER Correspondent HUNTINGTON – At Wednesday’s regular Gateway Regional School Committee Meeting, longtime attorney Fred Dupere was invited to give his opinion on several matters being considered.

The first matter that was tabled at the last meeting for the attorney was a request for a waiver to enter kindergarten for a student who missed the cut off by eight days. The Plant family of Westfield has a son born on Sept. 8 who they would like to enroll in Gateway this fall. The father graduated from Gateway, and they have a daughter in the school.

At the last meeting, Megan Coburn, principal of the Littleville and Chester Elementary Schools was asked to assess the child, who has completed two years of pre-school, for kindergarten-readiness.

Coburn said he scored well in all areas except articulation, particularly his pronouns. When asked if she would recommend the waiver, Coburn said, “It’s a parent decision.”

A motion was made to grant a waiver for this particular child.

During the discussion, several school committee members expressed concern.

“If we make an exception this time, we’ll be asked again,” Sue Levreault of Worthington said. “Now the new line in the sand is going to be Sept. 8. This will be the first time since I’ve been on the See Gateway, Page 3

Fighter Wing succeeds in Exercise Silver Flag

By TECH SGT. MELANIE J. CASINEAU 104th Fighter Wing Public Affairs RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany – More than 150 Airmen, 90 percent of which were guardsmen, contributed to the most successful bare-base deployment training course in seven years.

Approximately 25 members from the Force Support and Civil Engineer Squadrons, 104th Fighter Wing, Barnes Air National Guard Base, participated in Exercise Silver Flag May 10-17 at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, learning combat support training that will prepare them if they go to war.

Silver Flag is a U.S. Air Force training course designed to educate Airman with valuable skills, allowing them to know how to deploy using real-world equipment in real-world scenarios. The extensive two-phase expeditionary course consisted of classroom instruction combined with hands-on training, and ended with a two days of exercises in the field, testing their skills in combat scenarios.

“Members who participate in Silver Flag will bring to the fight the ability to go down range and set up from bare-base to sustainment,” said Staff Sgt. Terry Cooper, a services training instructor for Silver Flag.

Members of the 104th FW proved their combat readiness throughout the week and during the final field training exercise May 16-17.

“Seeing an incident go from start to finish and seeing the big picture of everyone working their part was very helpful,” said an Airman from the 104th Emergency Management Flight.

During the final exercise, the services members were able to serve both lunch and dinner from their single pallet expeditionary kitchen (SPEK), something that hadn’t been done before, said the superintendent of sustainment services, 104th Services Flight.

“Emergency management had every scenario taken care of without See 104th, Page 3

Police: Steven Tyler not really doing a farm show

MASSACHUSETTS

WEST WINDSOR, N.J. (AP) — Police have alerted residents of a New Jersey township that Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler will not be performing at a small pick-your-own strawberry farm.

NJ.com reports the rock star and “American Idol” judge was listed on concert websites ReverbNation and Eventful as performing a Saturday morning show at Windsor Farm & Market.

Farm owner Wayne Kalinowski says he was tipped to the problem when a woman from Hightstown wanted to know more about the venue.

After Kalinowski reported the issue, West Windsor police sent an email alert Wednesday telling residents Tyler wasn’t coming.

Lt. Robert Garafolo says there does not seem to be criminal intent.

No one from either website can be reached to comment. A message on a social media account for Tyler hasn’t been returned.

any issues,” said the 104th Force Support Squadron commander. “You really can’t get much better than that.”

Airmen from the 104th Military Personnel Flight maintained accountability and provided casualty and personnel program support during the exercise war-time scenario.

“It’s clear from their performance that they are masters in their craft,” the 104th FSS commander said. “They met all their timelines and suspenses and got everything done. They are also showing their willingness to learn new things.”

Many of the Airmen from the 104th had never experienced a Silver Flag exercise before. The Silver Flag training, which is required before deploying, is very detailed. It allows Airmen more opportunities to learn very specific skills needed in combat situations.

“Training is important because we don’t actually get to do this on a regular basis,” the superintendent of Sustainment Services said. “I think the training that they provided the week prior to going into Silver Flag was very valuable. The Cadre were very knowledgeable, and they were easy to talk to. I like the way they’ve instructed.”

Services learned about recreation, mortuary, fitness, and food.

Services members need to know all the areas of the career field, not just their specific job, so they can augment each other, said the 104th Services Flight noncommissioned officer in charge.

During the week, services members had the opportunity to do both a full search and recovery and an expedited one, simulating being in a hostile environment.

“I’ve never done an expedient search and rescue,” said the 104th Fatality Search and Recovery Team, non-commissioned officer in charge.

“I’ve learned about it, but this was the first time actually participating in one which was helpful.”

The personnel members learned how to act as personnel for contingency operations (PERSCO), applying their home-station duties to a deployed environment “It’s good to go out and see what is being taught to other personnel units,” said the 104th Manpower and Personnel Flight superintendant.

“I have not deployed recently, so my experience may not be what they are teaching currently.”

Gateway

Emergency Management worked mainly on the response side of their job instead of preparation or recovery. They responded to incidents and used their equipment to clear rooms, take samples, and identify chemicals. Other training included how to do vulnerability assessments, and mapping and plotting for chemical and hazmat response.

“We have gotten away from the old war-time training and focused on the new, modern thinking of hazard materials,” said an Airman from EM. “At home we have First Defender RMX equipment that I have not used before; here I was able to use it.”

They were not only learning about job skills but how to communicate with new people from different careers in the Air Force.

Working with other bases helps you feed off of each other’s knowledge and areas of expertise, and you learn how to blend them together when you deploy, said the 104th Services Flight NCOIC. “I think that’s the biggest part that I am taking from this is now you’re working with not only other bases but you’re working with other sections as well,” the 104th Services Flight NCOIC added in regards to working with Civil Engineering.

Throughout the week, the members continued to be excited about the opportunity to be at Silver Flag.

“I am excited to be here and to work together a team,” said an Airman from the 104th Services Flight. “We have learned that communication is key to getting things done.”

“Focus on communication and collaboration is emphasized over and over,” the 104th FSS commander said. “With Services and Civil Engineering not being in the same squadron, it is important for us to speak the same language and understand where both of us can help each other and rely on each other.”

When Silver Flag ended, the cadre extended the invitation for the 104th members to come out and augment them any time, he added.

Overall the week was a success and proved to be valuable to everyone who participated. The skills learned and tested at Silver Flag prepare the 104th members for future deployments and the ability to support a wide range of operations, right alongside our active duty counterparts.

WHS Band visits Rock and Roll Hall of Fame WESTFIELD — The Westfield High School Band, under the direction of Patrick Kennedy, recently traveled to Ohio on their spring trip.

Highlights of this trip included a visit to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland and performances at the Cedar Point Music in the Parks Festival. With the approval of the Westfield Public Schools Administration and School Committee for this trip, Kennedy met with Carl Hawk from Your Partners in Travel and they began planning out the trip together. The Westfield High School Band Parents did a wonderful job organizing fundraisers to defray the trip costs and also in chaperoning the trip—

While the school year is winding down there are still opportunities to see the WHS Band perform. They will be at both the Westfield Voc-Tech and WHS graduation ceremonies and the Jazz Ensemble will perform at the Amelia Park as part of their Summer Concert Series on Tuesday, June 16.

school committee that we’ve made an exception.”

“Developmental stages are general,” Terri Garfield of Blandford said. “I think we can allow this.”

“If you don’t maintain your date, then you have to hear this on a case-by-case basis,” Dupere said. “If you’ve never granted an exception in the past, then you are setting a new standard futuristically.”

Dupere said he didn’t know if they had granted an exception or not. He said for entrance age, there are two lines. One says you never make exceptions, the other says you must consider every case.

“Is it us that makes the decision?” Shirley Winer of Chester asked.

“The only people that can waive the policy is this committee,” answered Dr. David Hopson, school superintendent.

The motion to grant the waiver passed 9-3.

Dupere recommended studying the issue in other districts as well as advisories from DESE (Department of Elementary and Secondary Education), and have Hopson present the options for a policy on granting waivers. He said typically it is the administration that makes the recommendation.

The School Committee also voted in favor with one abstention to participate in the solar net metering project which was presented at the previous meeting, and will save on the school’s electricity costs. The committee also voted to send the 20-year contract to its attorney for review, rather than share the attorney costs with the other participating groups. The committee also unanimously passed the sale of the $4.9 million school refunding bond to SunTrust Robinson Humphrey at the price of $5.4 million, which was presented by business manager Stephanie Fisk.

Hopson said that the school district has an A+ rating from Standard and Poor.

School Committee Vice Chair Martha Otterbeck from Chester read a letter she wrote concerning discord in the School Committee. She noted that she had been elected to serve as vice chair without being at the meeting, but was willing to serve.

“There is tension, discord and conflict in the committee,” she said. “There is an elephant in the room, and it’s not going to walk out on its own.”

She said the committee needs to look at what the conflict is, and what is driving it.

“We need to work collaboratively to do some conflict resolution,” she said.

School Committee Chair Michele Crane of Blandford asked if the question of mediation should go on the next agenda.

“I appreciate the thoughts in the letter,” said Ruth Kennedy of Russell. “But what I speak comes from my heart. I have grandchildren that go to this school. I don’t know where this discord is coming from. I don’t have anything against anybody on this com-

along with Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Hawk and WHS Assistant Band Director Joel Whalen.

At the festival the band received Superior Ratings in every category, which is the highest possible rating. The WHS Marching Band, Concert Band and Jazz Combo were awarded first place in their respective categories, with the Jazz Ensemble receiving a second place award. Senior WHS Band members Dan Hickson and John Kiefer were recognized for excellence with the Festival’s Outstanding Musician Award. On top of all of these accolades, the Westfield High School band also were recognized for their positive attitude, behavior and

mittee.”

“You don’t see there being discord on the committee that’s disruptive?” Winer asked “I’m sorry that is seems disruptive, but I care all the more,” Noreen Suriner of Middlefield said. “It wasn’t to be hurtful. It was to speak the truth.”

“It’s all right to have different opinions,” Otterbeck said. “It’s the undertone that becomes very disruptive.”

“They’re not productive meetings, nothing gets done,” Gateway senior Brennan Foley, student council representative said, to applause in the room.

“I think Michele’s (Crane) idea is a great idea, to bring someone in to help us in being heard,” Suriner said.

Also raised from the previous meeting was the question of having the School Committee meetings videotaped. Attorney Dupere weighed in on both issues. He said videotaping can’t be used as minutes.

“Once you begin videotaping meetings, you have to archive the videotapes. There are costs associated with it. I wouldn’t recommend that you do it, but it’s not my decision,” he said.

He said that cities and towns that do have videotaped meetings generally are on a cable television station that videotapes and airs the meetings, and do not have to archive the videotapes and make them available by request to the public.

“It certainly isn’t routine,” he said.

Dupere also said that only four towns are needed to pass the Gateway budget this year.

“Worthington is not going to be a part of the vote in the towns,” he sid. “DESE agrees. That is my opinion. You can amend the regional agreement.”

The regional agreement states the need for five towns.

He added that agreements can have members come and members go, but that doesn’t negate the regional agreement.

Dupere went on to say, “Our firm has been associated with Gateway for (30) years. The dysfunction you’re seeing now was present 15 or 20 years ago.”

Dupere said during that time he attended the meetings for five years, to help move them along. He said he has only done that in three districts out of the many he has served. Dupere said a school committee meeting should not take more than 1 ½ to 2 hours.

(Typically, School Committee meetings go 2 ½ hours at Gateway).

“After seeing you tonight, you do have an issue,” he said.

He said mediation generally doesn’t work. The only thing he has seen work is having an attorney present at the meetings.

“Do you think we need to be babysat?” Crane asked.

“In my opinion, yes,” he said. “I do know Robert’s Rules of Order very well – I’ve testified on them in Supreme Court. If you’re constantly looking at Robert’s Rules, then you have a problem. It should not be that formalistic.”

and he said I can’t sell them right now because I do’t have a special permit that encompasses nicotine products,” Faillace said.

Faillace told the board he expects to have about 25 customers per day for the nicotine delivery system business. The board discussed whether or not he had the parking required for that traffic flow.

Slessler said Faillace has 16 parking spaces and is allowed to have 10 cars for sale on the property.

“I usually have five or six cars for sale and if I find that the nicotine business grows I will reduce the number of cars for sale,” Faillace said.

The board approved the speial permit, which will be given to Faillace 21 days after approval.

To fight the Islamic State, Obama joins hands with Iran's proxies

Clinton Foundation paid Blumenthal $10K per month while he advised on Libya U.S. officials, stunned by the Islamic State’s gains,

By KENNETH P. VOGEL Politico.com Sidney Blumenthal, a longtime confidant of Bill and Hillary Clinton, earned about $10,000 a month as a full-time employee of the Clinton Foundation while he was providing unsolicited intelligence on Libya to then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, according to multiple sources familiar with the arrangement.

Blumenthal was added to the payroll of the Clintons’ global philanthropy in 2009 — not long after advising Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign — at the behest of former president Bill Clinton, for whom he had worked in the White House, say the sources.

While Blumenthal’s foundation job focused on highlighting the legacy of Clinton’s presidency, some officials at the charity questioned his value and grumbled that his hiring was a favor from the Clintons, according to people familiar with the foundation. They say that, during a 2013 reform push, Blumenthal was moved to a consulting contract that came with a similar pay rate but without benefits — an arrangement that endured until March.

A Clinton loyalist who first earned the family’s trust as an aggressive combatant in the political battles of the 1990s, Blumenthal continues to work as a paid consultant to two groups supporting Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign — American Bridge and Media Matters — both of which are run by David Brock, a close ally of both Clinton and Blumenthal.

Yet Blumenthal’s financial and personal connections to the Clintons and their allies have emerged as subjects of intense scrutiny as Clinton seeks to gain momentum for her presidential campaign.

The memos — and Blumenthal’s concurrent work for the foundation, the Brock groups and a pair of businesses seeking potentially lucrative contracts in Libya — underscore the blurred lines between her State Department work and that of her family’s charitable and political enterprises.

Blumenthal has been subpoenaed by the U.S. House committee investigating the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and Clinton’s handling of it. He is expected to testify next week about a series of memos containing sometimes specious intelligence on the situation in Libya, which he sent to Hillary Clinton’s personal email account.

The committee is said to be interested in exploring Blumenthal’s connections to any entity that may have stood to benefit from Clinton’s decisions in Libya. Benghazi Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) also wants to probe how seriously the State Department took Blumenthal’s advice, which recently released emails show were met with skepticism at times.

Clinton, whose efforts to hire Blumenthal as an adviser at the State Department were rebuffed by top aides to President Barack Obama, last week defended her relationship with her old ally but also minimized his influence. Describing him as “a friend of mine for a long time,” Clinton, who also plans to testify before the committee, said “he sent me unsolicited emails which I passed on in some instances, and I say that that’s just part of the give and take.”

In his own statement last week, Blumenthal suggested that he did not write the memos on behalf of the foundation or any other entities with which he may have been associated, but rather as “a private citizen and friend” of Clinton’s.

His lawyer, former Deputy Attorney General James Cole, told POLITICO on Wednesday that Blumenthal did not have any financial interest in the efforts of the two companies pushing to win contracts in Libya — Osprey Global Solutions and Constellations Group.

“He never got any money from — and has no continuing relationship with — Osprey or Constellations,” said Cole.

The Clinton Foundation declined to comment.

Blumenthal’s move to a consulting contract came at about the time he signed a deal with Simon & Schuster to write a fourvolume biography of Abraham Lincoln, the first installment of which is set for release in April.

The move from the foundation’s full-time staff roster exempted him from requirements that any outside work done be vetted and approved by the foundation. The shift also coincided with an effort to professionalize the foundation. More rigorous fiscal and organizational policies were implemented, while the portfolios of other longtime Clinton confidants were diminished, such as the president’s old Arkansas lawyer Bruce Lindsey, his former bodyman Doug Band and former White House policy adviser Ira Magaziner.

Media Matters spokesman Zac Petkanas wouldn’t provide details on Blumenthal’s relationship with the group. “We’ve worked with various consultants over the years,” he said. “As a matter of policy, we do not discuss the details of any of these arrangements.”

are making a risky bet on Shiite militias in Iraq

By MICHAEL CROWLEY Politico.com For weeks, the Obama administration insisted it was winning the war against the Islamic State, telling reporters that its pinpoint airstrikes and military advice were rolling back the terrorist group’s stunning territorial gains in Iraq.

But now, Obama’s foreign policy team finds itself relying on Iran-backed Shiite militias in a high-stakes bid to retake Ramadi, a provincial capital where dozens of American soldiers once died battling hordes of Sunni insurgents.

Victory in Ramadi, if it comes, could undermine the very thing President Barack Obama is trying to achieve: a unified, stable Iraq where Iran doesn’t call the shots.

Iraqi government forces will be stiffened by thousands of religiously motivated Shiite irregular troops that the White House had once hoped to keep away from Anbar province, the heartland of Iraq’s Sunni Muslims.

The Shiite militias may bring the manpower to reverse the militants’ recent advances, but their entry into Anbar also poses major strategic problems for the Obama administration, which has reluctantly agreed to their role in the Ramadi offensive.

Administration officials understand well the risk that sectarian bloodshed between Sunnis and Shiites might empower the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS. After the Shiite militias helped drive ISIS from the northeastern town of Amerli last September, militia fighters “raided Sunni villages and neighborhoods” in the area — looting, burning and abducting, according to a recent Human Rights Watch report.

“If Ramadi is retaken by a Shiite militia and you have further looting, abuses or atrocities by the Shiites, or if Ramadi is ethnically cleansed of some of its Sunni population, you’re only going to further drive the Sunnis into the arms of ISIS,” said Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee.

The militias are deeply distasteful to Washington for other reasons. Many are effectively proxies for Iran — some openly display images of the late Iranian leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomenei — and serve to extend Tehran’s influence in Baghdad. There is also an emotional factor: Shiite fighters killed numerous Americans in the wake of the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, and the prospect of cooperating with them enrages many in the U.S. military.

Still, given the continued poor performance of the Iraqi army — which Defense Secretary Ash Carter recently said lacks “the will to fight” — the U.S. is hard-pressed to dismiss the punch the militias can throw in the battle against the Islamic State. A senior U.S. official estimated that the mostly Baghdad-based Shiite militias number around 80,000 men.

“We’ve been concerned all along about the power and influence of the Shiite militias,” said Derek Chollet, a former Obama administration assistant secretary of defense for international affairs now with the German Marshall Fund. “But we have to acknowledge the reality that the Shiite militias are capable.”

After Iraq’s army crumbled in the face of an Islamic State offensive last summer, Obama said the U.S. would retrain a nonsectarian Iraqi military and send aid to a new and inclusive government in Baghdad. But both the training program and political reform in Baghdad are moving slowly.

For instance, Ramadi was vulnerable in part because Shiite leaders in Baghdad have blocked a measure to create a Sunni national guard force in Anbar province that would empower local tribes to fight the militants.

The sectarian divisions were illustrated further this week when the Shiite militias announced their Ramadi operation’s slogan: “Labaik ya Hussein.” That translates roughly to “At your service, Hussein,” a reference to a Shiite religious icon that could anger the Sunni residents of the very city the militias are supposed to help liberate. The Pentagon on Tuesday called the slogan “unhelpful” — and the Iraqis quickly changed it to “At your service, Iraq.”

Some Obama allies are losing hope that the inclusive, unified Iraq that Obama calls for is achievable. “I cannot envision a set of circumstances where the Sunnis feel there is a government in Baghdad they feel is worth fighting for,” said Rep. Adam Smith of Washington, the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee. “I understand why major policymakers are reluctant to make that conclusion, because there’s not a great set of options,” he added.

Obama administration officials insist things are not so dire.

But an Iraqi government official warned that “there is significant local support for ISIS in Ramadi.” The official said such support “allowed sleeper cells to operate in the city and initiate the wave of suicide attacks that led to the collapse of our defenses.” He added that “the challenge is to convince more and more tribes to jump ship and fight alongside the government.”

For now, the U.S. is focused on training the Iraqi army, a

painfully slow process. Officially, American trainers at four locations in the country are training 12 Iraqi divisions. But the number of divisions being trained is actually closer to four or six, according to Kenneth Pollack, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution with close ties to the Pentagon.

When asked whether the training program has slowed, a senior administration official replied, “It is not a matter of policy that we have scaled back our goal” and said the Pentagon could provide details. The Pentagon did not offer immediate comment.

The senior administration official said the U.S. has trained 7,000 Iraq troops since last fall, but that many are protecting Baghdad and none of those freshly trained forces are now in the fight around Ramadi.

After a $25 billion investment by the United States, the Iraqi army numbered 210,000 at its 2009 peak. Poor management and mass desertions have left it at closer to 50,000 combatready soldiers, U.S. officials say.

With a shortage of army troops available to rescue Ramadi, the Shiite militias are moving on the city at the invitation of Anbar’s Sunni leaders. U.S. officials hope that will defuse talk of an invading Shiite force, even if the invitation was born of desperation.

U.S. officials themselves aren’t much more enthusiastic about working with the Shiite fighters.

In March 26 testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee, the head of U.S. Central Command, Gen. Lloyd Austin, recalled “three tours in Iraq commanding troops who were brutalized by some of these [Shiite] militias.”

“I will not — and I hope we never — coordinate or cooperate with the [Shiite] militias,” Austin said.

Since then, U.S. officials have said they will support militias with airstrikes so long as they are under the command of Iraq’s central government. During the recent battle to retake the city of Tikrit, the U.S. halted airstrikes when it became clear that Iranian commanders were on the ground directing the Shiite fighters.

The militias were unable to drive ISIS from Tikrit without American support. But they have proved effective elsewhere, including Amerli, and have been instrumental in the defense of Baghdad and Shiite holy sites against ISIS. A Shiite combat role in Sunni-dominated Anbar could backfire and play into the hands of the Islamic State. Although far more extreme in its religious views than most Sunnis, the militant group says it is liberating the country’s Sunnis from oppression by the Shiite-led government that emerged from the U.S. occupation.

If the militias must be used in Anbar, the U.S. should ensure they answer directly to Iraqi army commanders under clear rules of conduct, said Sarah Margon, Washington director for Human Rights Watch.

“There is a cost” to letting the militias rescue Ramadi, she said. “Our policy can’t be, ‘fight ISIS and support the government at all costs.’”

But while increased reliance on the Shiite militias may not be ideal, the White House has few other choices for now, said James Jeffrey, a former U.S. ambassador to Iraq under Obama.

“All policy, all strategy, is about priorities,” Jeffrey said. “At this point, the strategy is smashing ISIS.” ——— Nahal Toosi contributed to this report.

John W. Ceckowski, Jr. WESTFIELD — John W. Ceckowski Jr., 73, (1942-2015) of Westfield, passed away May 15, 2015 in a local nursing home. John was born in Westfield, MA on May 14, 1942, the son of the late John Sr. and Helen (Korostynski) Ceckowski. He was a graduate of Westfield High School and received his Bachelor’s degree from Westfield State College. A retired teacher, he enjoyed painting and boating. He is survived by his two daughters and four grandchildren. Funeral and visitation will be Thursday May 28, 2015 from 8:30 am to 9:30 am at the Robert E Cusack Funeral Home, 94 Main St (Rt 20), followed by a funeral mass at 10:00 am in St Joseph’s Church, Main St. Burial will follow in St Joseph’s Cemetery, all in Westfield.

Blumenthal

Continued from Page 4 Matters is described as ongoing, even as those groups come to Clinton’s defense by trying to neutralize attacks on her related to Benghazi and her use of a private email account and server for official business, while assailing the prospective Republican rivals leveling those attacks.

One source familiar with the work said Blumenthal regularly reaches out to suggest ways in which the groups can inject themselves into ongoing political fights.

“I’m not sure if his ideas are very helpful,” said the source, suggesting Blumenthal’s value comes more from his connection to the Clintons. “This is all about helping someone who is a friend of the Clintons.”

The super PAC arm of American Bridge reported paying Blumenthal $2,500 in June 2013 for “Strategic Consulting Services,” though payments also could be directed to him through a consulting firm. And it’s possible he’s paid by the nonprofit arm of the group, which, like Media Matters, is registered under a section of the tax code — 501(c) — that does not require detailed disclosure of expenditures.

Likewise, Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign did not disclose any payments made directly to Blumenthal.

Clinton’s campaign did not immediately respond to a question about whether Blumenthal would be involved this time around.

Man charged with raping children says accusers are lying NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (AP) — The trial of a western Massachusetts man charged with sexually assaulting three children is winding down.

A Hampshire Superior Court jury is expected to start deliberating Thursday, a day after the defendant, Leo Fugler III, of Granby, and his wife took the stand to say the three accusers fabricated their stories in part because they resented the couple for several reasons, including quarrels about money.

The Daily Hampshire Gazette reports that the 55-year-old Fugler has pleaded not guilty to eight counts of forcible child rape and three counts of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14.

Prosecutors say the alleged victims, two girls and a boy, were assaulted in South Hadley between 1995 and 1998.

The children were all known to Fugler.

Tuesday, May 26, 2015 Sean C. Spohr, 20, of 22 Janelle Drive, was released on $100 cash bail for two counts of drug possession class B, one count drug possession class C, one count drug possession with intent to distribute class C and one count drug possession with intent to distribute class D by Southwick police.

Christina Bamford, 23, of 45 Honey Pot Road, Southwick, was released on her personal recognizance pending a July 16 hearing after being charged with assault and battery of a family member by Southwick police.

Kristain L. Susenbach, 31, of 320 Gage St., Bennington, Vermont, had charges of negligent operation of a motor vehicle dismissed after paying a $250 fine and was found not responsible for marked lanes violation by Westfield police.

Eric W. Theroux, 33, of 28 Charbonneau Terrace, Chicopee, was sentenced to six months with credit of time served from March 24, for three counts of larceny over $250 after entering guilty pleas, and will be on probation until August 26, 2016. One count of utter false check from a person over 60/disabled was dropped for plea purposes by Westfield police.

Prosecutors seek 7 years for Boston bomber’s friend BOSTON (AP) — A college friend of Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev might have prevented a university police officer’s shooting death by helping authorities find Tsarnaev instead of helping him, the officer’s family said in a court filing Wednesday.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology Officer Sean Collier was killed in an encounter with Tsarnaev and his brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, in Cambridge hours after authorities publicly released photographs and videos of them as suspects in the April 2013 bombing, which killed three people and injured more than 260.

Tamerlan later died after a shootout with police in Watertown, and Dzhokhar was found hiding in a covered boat docked in a backyard there.

Federal prosecutors filed the statement by Collier’s stepfather, Joseph W. Rogers, along with a recommendation for a seven-year sentence for Tsarnaev’s friend Dias Kadyrbayev. That sentence is the maximum agreed to when

This undated forensics photograph released by the U.S. Attorney’s office and presented as evidence during the federal death penalty trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in Boston, shows a bloodied service pistol sitting on the seat of MIT Police Officer Sean Collier’s cruiser. (AP Photo/U.S. Attorney’s Office) Kadyrbayev pleaded guilty last year to impeding the bombing investigation.

Kadyrbayev is being sentenced on June 2. A message seeking comment from his attorney wasn’t immediately returned Wednesday.

Prosecutors say there’s no evidence Kadyrbayev knew about the plot to detonate two pressure cooker bombs loaded with shrapnel near the marathon’s finish line. They say he recognized Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s photo when authorities released it and he removed Tsarnaev’s laptop and backpack from his dorm room

at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.

“Had the defendant done the right thing, and called the police,” Rogers said, “the Tsarnaev brothers’ murderous rampage across Cambridge and Watertown may have been prevented.”

Tsarnaev’s lawyers acknowledged his role in the deadly bombings, and he was convicted of many criminal charges. A jury last month sentenced him to death.

Two more of his friends have been convicted of impeding the investigation.

They are to be sentenced June 5.

Act would increase access to treatment WASHINGTON – The nation is in the throes of a public health emergency that is resulting in nearly 25,000 deaths a year from opioid overdoses.

Senators Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and a bipartisan group of their colleagues introduced new legislation, the Recovery Enhancement for Addiction Treatment (TREAT) (S.1455), to expand specialized treatment for prescription drug and heroin addiction. The legislation would expand the ability of addiction medical specialists and other trained medical professionals to provide life-saving medication-assisted therapies such as buprenorphine (also called Suboxone) for patients battling heroin and prescription drug addiction.

Unfortunately, due in part to federal restrictions, of the approximately 2.4 million people dealing with prescription drug and heroin dependency in 2013, only half received specialty treatment for their condition.

“When effective medicationassisted treatment is made available, people’s lives can be saved,” said Markey. “Treatment for prescription drug and heroin addiction should not be harder to access than the actual drugs destroying lives and communities. The TREAT Act will expand access to medical treatment that works, removing outdated limits on trained health professionals, allowing them to treat more patients and address this opiates crisis. I thank Senator Paul and my Senate colleagues for their partnership as we fight this battle of prescription drug and heroin addiction and reduce the tragic effect of this epidemic.”

“Heroin addiction is on the rise in Kentucky and throughout the country, and government’s solution of locking up people with addiction is not solving the problem. The TREAT Act will remove a roadblock to getting people the help they need to break the cycle of addition and get on a path to recovery,” said Paul.

Specifically, the TREAT Act would help increase the number of patients who have access to treatment by allowing substance In Loving Memory of

ment programs for opioid addiction can decrease overdose deaths, be cost-effective, reduce transmissions of HIV and hepatitis C, and reduce other social harms such as criminal activity. While emphasizing addiction medicine expertise and quality, the legislation lifts existing and arbitrary federal restrictions that are non-existent for any other disease and limit access to life saving therapies.

The TREAT Act is co-sponsored by Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) Mazie Hirono (D-Hawai’i), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), and Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisc.).

THE WESTFIELD NEWSSPORTS WHS, Comp title bout looms

By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer WESTFIELD – With the high school boys’ volleyball Division I tournament bracket having been unveiled Tuesday, one can only ponder the likelihood of a third and final showdown between the regular season’s two best teams.

Defending Western Massachusetts champion Chicopee Comp and Westfield drew the top two seeds – and first-round byes – in the division’s field of 11 tourney teams.

The top-seeded Colts (151) and No. 2 Bombers (16-2) are poised to meet in the championship June 8 at Holyoke Community College. The two teams split the regular season series 1-1.

First, the two teams will have to navigate the pitfalls

and unpredictably often associated with a high school postseason. They will both open tournament play June 1 in their respective quarterfinal matchups at 6:30 p.m.

Chicopee Comp will host the winner of No. 8 Commerce (16-4)/No. 9 Putnam (11-8). Westfield will host the No. 7 East Longmeadow (11-7)/No. 10 Holyoke (9-9) winner.

Other notable tournament teams include No. 3 Agawam (13-5) and No. 4 West Springfield (11-7).

TOURNAMENT TALK: The rest of the high school spring sports postseason is set to take shape as the remaining tournament brackets become revealed later this week.

On Friday, May 29, the lacrosse playoffs will be revealed.

JULIE CARROLL The Westfield boys’ lacrosse team finished up its spectacular regular season with a record of 15-2, losing only to Longmeadow (twice).

The Bombers knocked the Lancers from the postseason last year to become the west sectional champs.

On Saturday, May 30, the focus shifts to track and field when the Westfield boys’ and girls’ track and field teams travel to Fitchburg State University for the West/ Central Division I championships. Southwick’s road trip will be a bit easier when they compete for the Division II crown at Westfield State University. Both events begin at 10 a.m.

The Southwick boys’ track and field team claimed the Division 2 district title last Friday at Wahconah Regional High School. Another athlete from town, Holyoke Catholic’s Julie Carroll (Southwick) won the girls’ two-mile race in11:50.26.

Other postseason schedule release dates include: baseball (June 1), softball (June 2), and boys’ and girls’ team tennis (June 2).

Pathfinder pulls away in thriller

By ROBBY VERONESI Correspondent WESTFIELD – Senior Day for Westfield Vocational-Technical High School proved to be a thrilling event Wednesday afternoon at Whitney Park, but the Tiger comeback fell short in the ninth inning as the visiting Pioneers from Pathfinder Regional escaped the Whip City with a 13-11 victory.

The Tigers (3-14, 3-13 Tri-County) mounted a successful comeback in the sixth inning, scoring four runs in the frame to take a 10-9 lead, but the Pioneers (9-10, 8-7 Tri-County) scored two runs in the seventh and ninth innings to keep their tournament hopes alive.

In a game which featured a combined 27 walks and 20 wild pitches, Cheyenne Slack led the way for the Tigers, recording two of the six hits, including a tworun triple to right-centerfield which tied the game at 9-all in the sixth inning.

Taya Allen tied the game in the seventh with a RBI single, and lone senior Katie Nesmolova started the game with a double.

Voc-Tech came back from a 6-1 deficit after two and a half innings by plating a pair in the third inning on a wild pitch and a stolen base to chip away at the Pioneer lead. After pulling within three runs after five innings, Hannah Massoni, Stephanie Allen and Taya Allen all walked, with Massoni scoring the first run on a wild pitch. With one out, Slack smacked her two-run triple to tie the score, then came in to score herself on a throwing error to cap the fourrun frame.

Taya Allen’s two-out RBI single in the seventh inning tied the score once again, but Voc-Tech could not regain the lead. With the score tied at 11 heading to the ninth inning, Pathfinder jumped on top for the final time two-run single by starting pitcher Sophia Hess.

Hess, who earned the victory in the circle, pitched her second straight scoreless frame in the bottom of the ninth, stranding the tying runs by forcing a pair of fly outs. Keisha DeJesus also went the distance for WVT. The 2015 season is complete for the

Tigers, but the Pioneers still have work to do to make the playoffs. The Palmerbased high school will finish their season at home against Smith Vocational Thursday, where a win will see PRVT to the Division 3 playoffs.

GIRLS’ LACROSSE

Sarnacki nets 100th Granby 22, St. Mary 10 Kate Sarnacki scored 14 goals, including her career 100th, to propel Granby to victory Wednesday at Boardman Field.

Annie’s Mailbox

By KATHY MITCHELL and MARCY SUGAR

Your Happiness or His?

Dear Annie: My father was in prison for my entire childhood. I am now 23 and have managed to build a good relationship with him since he was released two years ago.

Recently, Dad became very ill and stopped breathing. He was on life support for a week. Because I am his closest relative, I am in charge of his health care. I was told the damage was too severe and he would never recover. They expect him to die within weeks. When Dad woke up, I was given the option of making him “comfortable” with medicine that would eventually stop his breathing.

I want Dad to be happy in his last days, so I asked him what he wanted. He said he wanted to live with me, so I brought him home, and he is in hospice care. Now his brothers are furious that I didn’t put him in a nursing home. They think he would get rehab there and be able to live a normal life again.

When my father was incarcerated, no one in his family made any effort to be in my life. Dad told his brothers that he is prepared to die and wants to spend his last days with his daughter and his grandchildren. Plus, a nursing home won’t treat him if he refuses treatment, and it isn’t likely to help him in any event.

He suffered terrible brain damage when he stopped breathing.

But, Annie, his brothers are making my life terribly stressful.

I have tried to explain to them that they can’t make him fight this battle, and sadly, they cannot fight it for him. I feel so overwhelmed. I am thinking of forcing Dad to go to a nursing home so his brothers will know he had every chance. But if he dies there (and he probably would), I will hate myself for not letting him live his remaining days the way he wants. I don’t want to regret this decision forever. What do I do? -- Your Happiness or His? Dear Happiness: As long as your father is capable of making this decision, please respect him enough to allow it. His brothers feel helpless, and that is why they are badgering you to put him in a nursing home. We urge you to have Dad’s doctors and someone from hospice speak to your uncles directly and explain the situation so they will understand more clearly what is at stake. Our condolences.

Dear Annie: May I add to the comments on chewing gum during exercise class and sports activities?

When I was a senior, in 1959, I attended a high school faculty-senior basketball game in front of the entire student body.

Our wrestling coach ran up the court and suddenly stopped and dropped to his knees. Everyone, including the other coaches, thought he was having a heart attack. He lay there and died.

I wrestled for four years under his coaching. We later found out he had been chewing gum and it got stuck in his windpipe, and that’s what killed him. It was one of the saddest days in the school’s history. True story. I can’t say it more strongly: No gum chewing during sports. -- Still Sad Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@creators.com, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.

HINTS FROM HELOISE DO THE BUMP? Dear Heloise: Fist bump versus handshake? Due to the spread of GERMS, I find touching distasteful, yet it continues, especially in large social gatherings, and especially at church. It seems to me that the Japanese had it right all along: A slight bow or curtsy would be a much better means of showing respect.

And if this doesn’t work, the fist bump is far more hygienic. -- A Reader in Cincinnati A handshake is really a form of greeting, or when leaving to signify friendship.

A curtsy is a little out of my ballpark, unless I’m meeting royalty! You can always decline to shake hands by simply saying so. -- Heloise HOOK ‘EM Hello, Heloise, from Spokane, Wash.

One Saturday, my husband volunteered to do the laundry. I told him to hook my bras together so they wouldn’t snag anything else in the load.

He brought me the finished load, and I began folding. When I got to the bras, I pulled one out. To my surprise, that bra was hooked to the next bra, and that one was hooked to the next one to form a circle.

Well, I did tell him to hook them together! Although I meant INDIVIDUALLY, I guess he did what I told him. We had a good laugh! -- Beth C., via email STORAGE SOLUTION Dear Heloise: Short on linen-closet space? Store out-of-season quilts and blankets between your mattress and box spring.

Fold the blankets carefully, fit on top of the box spring and replace the mattress until the weather turns chilly again. -Nancy in Punxsutawney, Pa.

ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, May 28, 2015: This year your creativity merges with your curiosity. You might be inspired to produce something that can be put on display for the public or perhaps just your immediate circle. Harnessing your creativity will take some understanding of how to use your self-discipline. If you are single, romance will be a frequent visitor in your life. For some, a new loved one could serve as a muse. If you are attached, the two of you can be seen out and about during the summer, but a strong nesting instinct is likely to take over in the fall. LIBRA knows how to divert your attention!

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 Follow someone else’s lead, even if he or she suggests something that confuses you. You will gain clarity quickly. News from a distance will make you feel very cared about. Know what you need to do to push a project to the finish line. Tonight: Just say “yes” to an invitation.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You have ideas about what works, yet you rarely express them completely. A project appears to be moving on its own. You might want to assess certain items, like the projected cost. Detaching from a hot situation could be difficult. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Your creativity pops up in nearly every situation today. You might be feeling confused by someone you must answer to, as he or she could be sending you mixed messages. Deal with what you know, and add enthusiasm to your interactions. Tonight: Cheer up a loved one.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You’ll be coming from an anchored point of view, but getting others to respond might be difficult right now. Write down your thoughts, and then go off and find someone upbeat who wants to smile more than grumble.

Tonight: The moment leads to a fun happening.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Listen to news more openly. You might want to reorganize your schedule in order to make more time for a creative project. Lady Luck could make an appearance today. Still, use care with taking risks. Make sure you can handle the outcome. Tonight: Visit over dinner.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Be aware of the costs of proceeding on your present course. A friend who means to be helpful just might not be. Tension builds around someone’s expectations, which you are inclined to meet. Your ingenuity can’t be tamed.

Tonight: Schedule some downtime.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You seem to be on the right path, despite a mild fog of confusion that surrounds you. You might want to handle a matter that involves travel and/ or a matter that you’ll need an expert for. Recognize that there are no shortcuts to resolving this particular situation. Tonight: Out late.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HH You might choose to play it lowkey right now. You’ll need some downtime, as you have done more than your fair share on several different projects.

Everyone needs to recharge his or her batteries -- including you! Use this period well. Tonight: Vanish into the night.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You need to focus on your desires. You could have a difficult exchange with a partner who seems to want to shut you down. Glide past this problem, and keep your eye on the big picture. Once you have a more complete perspective, you’ll know what to do.

Tonight: Accept an offer.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You might want to let others run the show, especially as you recognize how complicated an issue seems to be. You tend to be negative when dealing with those in a higher position of authority. Avoid getting into a power play. Tonight: A loved one reels you in.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Slow down and detach from the here and now. You need to get a better perspective of what is happening around you and of the people you need to involve in order to realize a goal. A friend who wants to be helpful could prove to be the exact opposite.

Tonight: Make weekend plans.

Cryptoquip

Crosswords

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Relate to a friend on a one-on-one level, as this person often supports you through difficult times. Your creativity surges when dealing with others, especially a close loved one. Listen to an offer that might seem too good to be true.

Tonight: Honor a sense of fatigue.
