VOL. 83 NO. 225

By Peter Francis Staff Writer BLANDFORD – Last night’s meeting of the Gateway Regional School Committee saw them vote to make slight changes to several of meeting times going forward.

“We are going to modify our meeting schedule during budget season to allow for an earlier start for five or six meetings,” said Committee Chair Michele Crane. “The meetings will start at 7 p.m. and there will a dedicated budget time (in that schedule).”

Crane, a Blandford resident who succeeded Worthington’s Gretchen Eliason as chair, said the first meeting to start at the new time would be on December 10.

All of the committee’s January and February meetings will begin at 7 p.m., as well as the group’s first meeting in March, making for a total of six meetings.

“If we give some of these meetings a little extra time, representatives (on the school committee) can tell their town officials to come and ask questions that they have,” said Crane. “It will build a little more time into the agenda to discuss the budget.”

Wednesday’s meeting also saw the very first budget presentation of the cycle.

“Dr. (David) Hopson and Ms. (Stefanie) Fisk did a budget overview with history and it was very helpful for the newer members,” said Crane of the district’s Superintendent and Business & Finance Manager. “They talked about how we put a budget together and it was a good starting point for the year.”

“I think they got quite a bit out of it,” said Hopson of the committee’s new members.

“There were some comments of appreciation for putting it together and I think the newer members are looking forward

Traffic Commission opposes bus stop move

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Traffic Commission voted unanimously last night to send the City Council a recommendation not to approve a request submitted by the Pioneer Valley Transit Authority to relocate its Main Street bus stop to Elm Street in front of the Westfield Athenaeum and the United Bank.

The PVTA has broken its past bus route into two separate routes, one between Westfield and Springfield and the other from downtown to Westfield State University which runs on a 20-minuted schedule.

The PVTA proposal would take three parking spaces and a taxi stand on Elm Street in front of the Westfield Athenaeum and United Bank for a new bus stop where the two routes would link for passenger exchange. The current downtown stop is located on Main Street in front of Rocky’s Ace Hardware.

The Traffic Commission includes

Police Chief John Camerota, City Engineer Mark Cressotti, Public Works Superintendent Dave Billips, Brian Boldini, a former police sergeant who served as the WPD traffic bureau supervisor and Thomas P. Liptak.

Athenaeum Director Cher Collins opened the discussion of the bus stop relocating stating that the displacement of parking from the front of the Athenaeum to Court Street near the Berkshire Bank “is a major inconvenience for our senior citizens and disabled people.”

“There is safety issue with buses parked in front of the Athenaeum near the crosswalks,” Collins said. “I am supported by my Board (of Trustees) that we oppose this proposal to move the PVTA stop.”

Ward 2 City Councilor Ralph Figy, said “there is no need to move the bus stop, the two routes can be served by the bus stops we now have” and suggested that the new WSU shuttle route use “existing stops on Court Street at Holland (Avenue) and Washington

Street” “I don’t see a need to take these parking spots (in front of the Athenaeum and United Bank),” Figy said.

WSU is paying the PVTA $160,000 to operate the shuttle route, Figy said, adding that the PVTA did have public meetings on proposed changes to the bus route, including the bus stop change in Westfield, but none of those public meetings to allow residents to comment on the proposed changes were conducted in Westfield, the thirdlargest community served by the PVTA. “These changes were discussed at the PVTA public meetings held in Agawam and other locations, but not here in Westfield,” Figy said.

The Commission then voted 5-0 to send the City Council a recommendation not to approve the relocation of the Main Street bus stop to Elm Street in front of the Athenaeum and United See Bus Stop, Page 3

Gov. Patrick backs ballot measure on bottle deposits

By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Gov. Deval Patrick is urging passage of a ballot question that would expand the state’s beverage deposit law to cover bottled water and other noncarbonated drinks.

Patrick joined backers of the measure — Question 2 on the November ballot — at an event yesterday on Boston Common.

“I urge supporters of YES on 2 to do the

same, to tell everyone that YES on 2 will increase recycling, clean up our parks and save cities and towns money,” said Patrick.

“YES on 2 is good for our state and good for our environment. I urge voters to keep that in mind on Election Day.” Proponents say that the beverage market has evolved since 1983 and that more drinks are bottled in plastic today than 30 Gov. Deval Patrick See Bottle Bill, Page 3

By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The state department of public health confirmed one case of enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) this week in southeastern Massachusetts, and there are suspected cases locally.

Noble Hospital Vice President of Medical Affairs Dr. Stanley Strzempko, MD, said the hospital has seen several patients in the emergency room who presented symptoms consistent with EV-D68 and they were transferred to Bystate Medical Center for testing.

Baystate’s Keith O’Connor said the center sent several tests to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

“We have not received any results yet,” O’Connor said yesterday. “We have no confirmed cases on enterovirus.”

Strzempko said the patients seen at Noble were children who all had manageable symptoms.

EV-D68 is one of many nonpolio enteroviruses. This virus was first identified in California in 1962, but it has not been commonly reported in the United States.

From mid-August to Sept. 24, 2014, a total of 220 people in 32 states were confirmed to have respiratory illness caused by EV-D68. The cases of EV-D68 infection were confirmed by CDC or state public health laboratories that notified CDC. So far, all the cases have been among children, except for one adult.

Strzempko said the virus is like any other virus as far as there being very little treatment, however, the reason EV-D68 has become an issue is because it causes respiratory distress, particularly in children with other respiratory conditions, such as asthma.

“The thing to really look for is respiratory distress,” said Strzempko. “If you have a child you feel is working really hard to breathe, or has a persistent cough with respiratory distress, or respiratory symptoms with a high fever, it could be enterovirus.”

Strzempko said there is a twostep process to test for EV-D68. If See EV-D68, Page 3

Candidates for governor meet at Boston forum

By STEVE LEBLANC Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Candidates for Massachusetts governor are each trying to position themselves as the best human services leader for the state, promising to better support those programs and the workers who help care for the neediest residents.

The four candidates who attended a forum Wednesday — Republican Charlie Baker, Democrat Martha Coakley, and independent candidates Evan Falchuk and Jeff McCormick

— said those who provide human services should be paid better and the programs given a higher priority in state government.

Baker, who served as human services secretary under former Republican Gov. William Weld in the 1990s, said the state needs to take a hard look at the regulations around hiring and staffing to help retain the best qualified employees.

Finish line for thoroughbred racing

Awards banquet Members of the board of directors of the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Westfield listen closely as Bo Sullivan, for nine years the president of the board, makes some remarks after his appointment to the club’s Wall of Fame at the club’s annual awards banquet Wednesday evening at Tekoa Country Club.

Sullivan stepped down at the board meeting staged before the banquet and his former vice-president, Michael Coffey, was named to replace him.

By PHILIP MARCELO Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Suffolk Downs, New England’s last thoroughbred racing track which once hosted Seabiscuit and other premier horses of the day, is closing this year, a victim of changes in a gaming industry that now revolves around lotteries and casinos.

The 160-acre track, located just outside downtown Boston, had hoped to revive its sagging fortunes with a $1.1 billion Mohegan Sun casino project. But after the proposal was rejected last week, operators said they had no choice but to close the nearly 80-year-old track.

The live racing season ends Oct. 4.

Betting on televised races — or simul-

casts — will be offered until about December. It is a blow to the local racing industry and, to some, the end of an era for Boston.

“It was a great, great part of the sports tradition we had here,” says Anthony Spadea, who, as president of the New England Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association, remains optimistic that state leaders will find a way to preserve thoroughbred racing in the state, perhaps on a smaller scale. “Now, there’s so much competition for the entertainment dollar.”

As word of the track’s likely closing spread in recent days, first-time visitors See Racing, Page 3

Odds & Ends Texas firefighters rescue pet frog from blaze

Last night’s numbers

WESTWORTH VILLAGE, Texas (AP) — Firefighters who doused the flames at a North Texas house have also made sure the lone resident didn’t croak.

Fort Worth firefighters rescued a pet frog and returned the amphibian to the daughter of the homeowners who were out of town.

Battalion Chief Richard Harrison said Wednesday that firefighters have saved dogs and cats, but it’s the first time he recalls a frog rescue.

Firefighters on Tuesday night were dispatched to a blaze in Westworth Village. Crews searched the house and found no humans while bringing the blaze under control.

Then Jamie Wilson arrived and asked fire crews to look for her family’s frog.

A firefighter located the unscathed frog in its glass container.

Authorities are trying to determine what sparked the fire that caused about $60,000 in damage.

The discussion then focused on providing the PVTA with an alternate location for a bus stop. Cressotti suggested that the PVTA adopt routes which will be compatible with those required to service the proposed intermodal bus facility to be constructed on Arnold Street.

“The PVTA should be trying to set up patterns similar to the routes they will have when the Arnold Street facility opens,” Cressotti said. “It may add a little time to each route, but it’s time that will have to be added anyway when they open the intermodal center. Put the intermodal circulation pattern in place now.”

“The Athenaeum parking is too valuable,” Cressotti said.

Cressotti suggested a motion to send to the City Council for creation of a bus stop at a different Elm Street location, in front of the former Newberry’s store. That stop would initiated a route closer to what will be required to use the Arnold Street bus stop.

Camerota said that the Newberry stop “would put students closer to where they live. The City Council established bus stops, not the PVTA, I say put it where the (intermodal facility) will be developed.”

to do great things for people,” he said. “You’ve got to step up and recognize that well-paid, qualified, experienced staff can do great things.”

Coakley, the state’s attorney general, said the question of how Massachusetts can help human service workers make ends meet is ultimately a question about the state’s core values.

“What we need to do is to address with our values the working people here who need a livable wage, who need to be able to afford their health care … who need to understand that we value their services,” she said.

Falchuk and McCormick said a fresh set of eyes is needed to revamp the way the state delivers those services.

Falchuk, who is running under the banner of the United Independent Party, said the state has some “serious re-thinking” to do about priorities. He said state lawmakers were willing to approve — and Gov. Deval Patrick quickly signed — a bill authorizing a $1 billion expansion of the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center at the same time many human service workers were holding two jobs just to pay their bills.

“Where’s the money?”

Falchuk said. “It’s being spent in the wrong places.”

McCormick, a venture capitalist who founded the firm Saturn Partners in 1993, said another way to improve the delivery of services is to look at sharing best practices among provider agencies.

“Part of this is about the overall level of funding,” he said. “Another part of this is about the job itself.”

The forum at Boston’s Fanueil Hall was sponsored by the Providers’ Council, the state’s largest human service trade group.

During the event, Coakley responded to criticism by again defending her regulatory deal with Partners HealthCare, Massachusetts’ largest hospital and physicians’ network, saying that allowing its expansion will cut costs for consumers.

Crane also said that the committee is still awaiting a response from the district’s legislators to a letter sent by Hopson regarding the town of Worthington’s attempting to withdraw from the district.

“I think they are waiting to get together and to put together a joint response, which is something they’ve done in the past,” said Hopson.

“It is very manageable and there should be no sense of panic,” Strzempko said. “We need to support these patients with supplemental oxygen.”

South Hadley man indicted in fatal crash NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (AP) — A South Hadley man is facing manslaughter and drunken driving charges in connection with a car crash in June that took the life of his passenger.

A Hampshire County grand jury indicted 46-year-old Mark Ducharme on charges of manslaughter, manslaughter while operating a motor vehicle, and operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol with negligence and causing death.

Authorities say Ducharme was driving on the afternoon of June 14 when his car left the road and struck a grove of trees in South Hadley, killing his passenger, 62-year-old Wesley Schutt of Agawam.

COMMENT Obama calls for more allies in fight against ISIL

Typical Westfield~~~~SIGH ~~~~ they had all summer to re-pave the area of West Silver Street near not one, but two schools !!!! Instead they worried about City View Road & Shaker Road back in August — Now that school is in full session they are doing the paving and grading by both Abner Gibbs and the Junior High– Had they done it BEFORE school began and done the City View Road and Shaker Road NOW— it would’ve been so much smarter…..but as I said—– Typical Westfield mentality~~~~SIGH~~~~Maybe they are doing it NOW to let the people know that they are truly working …….traffic is all jammed up…….Typical Westfield. Much of the city’s paving effort as it relates to scheduling is driven by the availability of the paving contractor. City View, Shaker and Springdale were all paid for with the state’s pot hole special allocation funding. Westfield received approximately $184,000 and the work was required to be done for all “pot hole” projects statewide between July 1 and September 30, 2014. Lane, our contractor, is hired by other communities and all of this work needed to be done as the first priority. Once the “pot hole” program ended for Lane, they then could resume servicing normal paving requests and for Westfield, our regular list of streets, is now being done. And, of course, all work needs to wrap up around Thanksgiving as the paving plants typically close then. A phone call to the Mayor’s office would have easily answered this PulseLine request....

Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Obama also emphasized the need for adherents of Islam to reject the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram and their ilk.

“It is time for the world – especially Muslim communities – to explicitly, forcefully and consistently reject the ideology” of these groups, Obama declared.

Their ideologies “will wilt and die if [they are] consistently exposed, confronted and refuted in the light of day.”

While the barrage of airstrikes an American-led coalition unleashed Monday night against ISIL targets in Syria has dominated the news leading up to the U.N. summit, Obama made only an oblique reference in his 39-minute address to the military operation the U.S. and five Arab countries are carrying out against the radical group.

“There can be no reasoning, no negotiation, with this brand of evil. The only language understood by killers like this is the language of force,” the president said, before quickly repeating the same promise he has made to Americans: that the drive to rout ISIL will not involve U.S. ground troops.

“We do not act alone. Nor do we intend to send U.S. troops to occupy foreign lands. Instead, we will support Iraqis and Syrians fighting to reclaim their communities,” Obama said. “Those who have joined ISIL should leave the battlefield while they can.”

The coalition of Arab states that joined the action in Syria this week must continue to participate, he said, as should more countries. “Today, I ask the world to join in this effort,” he said. “Those who continue to fight for a hateful cause will find they are increasingly alone. For we will not succumb to threats.”

Obama’s blunt call for Muslims in particular to reject ISIL and other extremist movements represents a departure from his administration’s initial policy not to publicly focus on the religious aspects of Islamic terrorist groups. In the past, his White House has resisted calls to single out the threat posed by Islamic extremism as opposed to other violent ideologies.

“We must take concrete steps to address the danger posed by religiously motivated fanatics,” Obama told the U.N. gathering. “No God condones this terror. No grievance justifies these actions.”

He added, “There should be no more tolerance of so-called clerics who call upon people to harm innocents because they’re Jewish or because they’re Christian or because they’re Muslim.”

The president also called for a crackdown on financing of extremist groups and for a concerted global effort to counter propaganda ISIL and other groups use to seek new converts on the Internet.

“Their propaganda has coerced young people to travel abroad to fight their wars, and turned students — young people full of potential — into suicide bombers. We must offer an alternative vision,” he declared.

While Obama’s focus on ISIL and similar threats was unmistakable, he also touched on a series of other global concerns and insisted that he would not allow the U.S. to become obsessed about security dangers emanating from the Middle East.

“I have made it clear that America will not base our entire foreign policy on reacting to terrorism,” the president said.

In another part of his address, Obama called for a worldwide effort to support Ukraine in its stance against “Russian aggression,” actions that the president said challenge the “postwar order” and evoke the days “when large nations trampled small ones in pursuit of territorial ambition.”

Obama said that the U.S. would “impose a cost” on Russia and bolster NATO, adding that the American vision of the world counters Russia’s “might

makes right” with one of “right makes might.”

The United States and the European Union have imposed several rounds of sanctions on Russia and are continuing to urge Russian President Vladimir Putin to choose diplomacy over war. The recent cease-fire in Ukraine “offers an opening” for diplomatic efforts, the president said, and should Russia take that path, sanctions would be lifted.

Although countries like Russia have questioned whether the U.S.-led military coalition fighting ISIL may be violating international law by intruding on Syrian sovereignty, Obama said Russia is the country violating those standards through its annexation of Crimea and fomenting of unrest elsewhere in Ukraine.

“All of us – big nations and small – must meet our responsibility to observe and enforce international norms,” the president said.

Obama his speech by acknowledging that there is a “pervasive unease in our world,” but he told world leaders there have been signs of progress in recent weeks and urged them to join in tackling international problems.

“We come together at a crossroads between war and peace; between disorder and integration; between fear and hope,” Obama said, calling the present moment one in which there is “a sense that the very forces that have brought us together have created new dangers and made it difficult for any single nation to insulate itself from global forces.”

Among the positive U.S-backed developments he noted was progress not only in countering ISIL and obtaining a ceasefire in Ukraine, but also in securing a new Iraqi government, fighting a new Ebola outbreak, brokering a new government in Afghanistan and, this week at the U.N., renewing the fight against climate change.

The world’s problems demand attention but “are also symptoms of a broader problem – the failure of our international system to keep pace with an interconnected world,” Obama stated.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR September 5, 2014

To the Editor I am sending this letter to the Editor of the Westfield News with the hope that it will be published.

I have been in contact with the Department of Public Works, in particular Mr. C. Berube over the past several months regarding a water problem at the Corner of Skyline Dr and West Rd. I wish to PUBLICLY thank Mr. Berube for his patience with me in my anxiousness with regards to having the problem resolved. I have been concerned with the oncoming of the freezing temperatures, as early as October, and black ice that would be occurring on the road, as the cars passing thru the water flow would spread the water across the entire road and this would be freezing.

Approximately four years ago we had the same problem, and the departments involved with the repair could not make corrections until after the winter months. We did have the accident right in front of my home, where the telephone pole had to be taken down because of black ice. I was very concerned that, if this time around, with the water leak being even worse than before, if not repaired we would have an even greater accident this freezing season.

Mr. Berube was always kind and courteous to me, throughout all our correspondence, (of which there were many) and I thank him for that! I would also like to thank Mayor Daniel Knapik, Matthew VanHenyigen, James Adams, Brian Sullivan, Brent Bean, and Christopher Keefe for their assistance with regards to this matter as well.

I have been a resident of Westfield all my life, and I firmly believe that when you are faced with a problem such as this, if you go thru the correct channels a solution to the problem will occur. I will admit that I was worried that this road repair would not be done prior to the cold weather; but, just this week the departments involved were up and the repair has been done!

Westfield truly is a wonderful city. For me, I would not wish to live anywhere else. Thank you again to those involved for taking care of this road repair.

Sincerely, MichaeleanHebda September 11, 2014

To the Editor

Dear Friends, Once again it’s September 11th. How quickly the years have sped since that day 13 years ago when you were so tragically taken from us.

I think we all remember exactly what we were doing that sunny, Tuesday morning when marigold still bloomed. The news of the two planes crashing into the Twin Towers, and the plane crashing into the field in Pennsylvania broke into radio and television broadcasts. The scenes we saw were devastating – thick black smoke billowing everywhere, and eventually the buildings collapsing with you trapped inside. It seemed unbelievable that such a a thing could happen, that it wasn’t an accident but a deliberate attack by terrorists of our beloved country.

Many acts of courage and bravery occurred that day, and in the days to come. First responders entered the burning buildings to try and save you. Sadly, many of them lost their lives too. Some led others down the dark, smoke filled stairs where it was difficult to breathe. Those on the plane to Pennsylvania sacrificed their own lives to save more lives from being lost.

The words, “Let’s Roll”, forever inspire us.

We will have a time of reflection today; your names will be solemnly read, and you will seem so close. The last messages on your cell phones were of Love. “I love you”, you said for Love survives all.

You lie on in your families and children, and in the brave and caring deeds that are done every day. You taught us how.

Rest now in God’s eternal peace, dear friends.

To the Editor

Dear Reader, I write in response to what I consider biased and prejudicial writings by The Republican regard to the recent race for Hampden County District Attorney.

In their endorsement, which appeared in The Republican’s September 5, 2014 edition, the paper made remarks apparently intended to discredit Brett Vottero’s career accomplishments, including that he “has a confrontational style that is better suited to litigation than management.” It further remarked “it is telling that his previous employer, William D. Bennett, chose to endorse another candidate.”

In his role as Assistant District Attorney, Vottero did more than his share of prosecuting many of the most violent crimes committed in our country over the past 20+ years. Dealing with this criminal element required toughness, tenacity and focus.

The responsibility entrusted on Brett Vottero included the prosecution of 17 actual murder trials and did not allow time for shaking hands and kissing babies. Additionally, during his tenure under Bennett, he was also responsible for overseeing and providing guidance to other attorneys in the Office, and was the Chief of the Homicide Unit.

Had the paper taken the time, they would have learned of the dozens of victims of crime who share an admiration and mutual respect for the man who helped them in their time of loss. These supporters were frequently present during recent campaign activities. I would argue that it is more telling that the paper and Bennett failed to disclose to the voters the background surrounding Mr. Vottero’s disagreement with Bennett’s handling of a sexual harassment incident with in the District Attorney’s office in 2007, and the connection to his subsequent resignation from the Office.

The female victim of the sexual harassment incident suffered further injury when her job title was taken away and her duties and responsibilities were altered following her public disclosure of this incident. Brett Vottero, who had been appointed Chief of the DA’s Homicide Unit by Bill Bennett resigned from Bennett’s office in 2008 as a matter of professional ethics related to Bennett’s handling of this matter, rather than continue to serve under Bennett.

The Republican, and it’s affiliate, MassLive were given an opportunity to inform the electorate of this incident by publishing a letter recently written by the victim, however they refused. I am proud to say that the Westfield News Group displayed journalistic integrity and published the letter in the September 6, 2014 edition of the Westfield News.

It would have taken no effort whatsoever for The Republican to access their archives and make this information available, as they covered this incident and Mr. Vottero’s resignation back in 2007-2008. Still, their endorsement implied that the lack of Bennett’s endorsement was somehow related to a flaw in Vottero’s abilities. It appears that personal vendetta regarding Mr. Vottero challenging his former boss is a more likely explanation.

The paper’s statement that Brett Vottero “shows no interest

in running a transparent office” is simply false. I would refer the readers, as well as The Republican to Mr. Vottero’s views regarding this matter as discussed during the MassLive/CBS Forum interview of August 22, 2014.

In the September 10, 2014 editorial, The Republican expressed that the newly elected DA ran a simple and positive campaign. I believe that Brett Vottero and one other candidate likewise ran positive campaigns. Keeping it simple would seemingly be the only option for a job seeker with as little actual legal experience, and no supervisory or managerial experience as has the newly elected DA. His campaign relied heavily on endorsements as evidence of his readiness for this position. Were the endorsements based on his accumulated “body of work” as an Assistant District Attorney? What political connections and familial considerations came into play to garner so much support? Was it his remarkable career in Superior Court as a prosecutor, or was something else at play here?

In its September 10 editorial, The Republican states it hopes “Gulluni will surround himself with seasoned advisers who can help him as he confronts the inevitable challenges the office will hold, starting with funding.” What types of advisers is the paper referrining to? What specifically will their roles be? Why is it necessary to hire these advisers, given Gulluni’s salary of $177,000 in his new position? Certainly the voting taxpayers have an expectation that Gulluni is ready on day one to handle his responsibilities. This suggestion is troubling on many levels. Is he not ready for the challenges associated with this role?

In 2010 The Republican cited “experience” as a key deciding factor regarding their selection of the DA candidate. Apparently, experience is not he key attribute it was just four years ago.

Has our crime situation in Hampden County improved that dramatically in the past four years? Or is it that political connections and a loyalty to the establishment are now more important than experience?

Finally, The Republican has issued a suggested code of ethics for political candidates, as published in its September 10th editorial. Among the suggestions is a call for candidates to not exaggerate past accomplishments. It also suggests “shading the truth about an opponent’s record or positions is a commonly accepted and commonly used tactic. It’s reprehensible though.”

It would be my recommendation that The Republican editorial staff put into practice what it preaches.

It’s Broadway Bound for ‘On The Town’ Barrington Stage’s 2013 production of the Leonard Bernstein / Betty Comden / Adolph Green/ Jerome Robbins musical “On The Town”, won rave reviews from audiences and just about every theatre critic who saw it, including the New York Times.

I couldn’t find enough words of praise when I wrote my review for The Westfield News, which began “To put it simply, ‘On The Town’ is one of the snappiest, jazziest, fun-filled musical comedies to play on an area theatre stage in recent years.”

So, the production is now previewing on Broadway before opening on October 16. John Rando directs; Joshua Bergasse choreographs, and almost all of the Barrington Stage cast went to Broadway, except for one or two, who had prior commitments. Joining Tony Yazbeck, Jay Armstrong Johnson and Clyde Alves as the three sailors on 24-hour leave in a 1940’s Big Apple are Elizabeth Staney, Alysha Umphress and Megan Fairchild as the women they meet in Manhattan. The very, very funny comedienne Jackie Hoffman has joined the Broadway company.

“On The Town” isn’t the first western Massachusetts production to move to New York City. In 2004, Barrington Stage developed and premiered William Finn and Rachel Sheinkin’s musical “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee”, which took Broadway by storm in 2005, capturing two Tony Awards, three Drama Desk Awards and numerous other awards.

Last season, Broadway saw Williamstown’s “The Bridges of Madison County” (and another production, “The Elephant Man” with Bradley Cooper) is Broadway-bound this season.

But, “On The Town”, for its choreography, Leonard Bernstein’s jazzy score, and some great perfomances, ought to be one of Broadway’s hot tickets.

New Work at UConn: Olives and Blood Connecticut Repertory Theatre (CRT) opens their 2014-15 season on the Storrs campus with a new play, “Olives and Blood” (October 2-12), written by UConn theatre professor Michael Bradford. Gary M. English directs.

“Olives and Blood” tells the story of Juan Luis Trescante (played by Martín Solá), an aging fascist who is called before a judiciary tribunal to testify about his involvement in the murder of Spanish poet-playwright Federico Garcia Lorca (played by Nicholas Urda) .

Moving in time and space between the 1930s and 1970s, Bradford explores the last days of the talented poet, and the political and social motivations that attempted to silence his Nicholas Urda plays Spanish poet Federico voice.

“Olives and Blood” was first Garcia Lorca in the produced in New York City at Connecticut Rep’s producHERE in 2012. It received its tion of “Olives and Blood”.

British premiere in the fall of 2013 in London at Brixton East.

CRT Artistic Director Vincent J. Cardinal says “We are excited to bring Michael Bradford’s “Olives and Blood” to the stage. Producing and nurturing new work is a vital investment in the future of theatre. As a university-affiliated theatre, our students especially benefit from the process and creative energy required in bringing new work to life with a living playwright in the room.”

Review: ‘Evita’ Opens Bushnell Broadway Series

Caroline Bowman as Eva Peron discovering the sizzle of Buenos Aires in “Evita”. (Photo by Richard Termine) who know the show will appreciate the staging and choreography. And those who only know “Evita” from the Madonna movie, make note: the stage version is far more theatrical.

Caroline Bowman as the Evita on this tour negotiates all of the pyrotechnics written into Andrew Lloyd Webber’s score, and acts, and dances well, but she’s shy of the sizzle to make the performance a knock-out.

Max Quinlan’s “Che” (essayed on Broadway by Mandy Patinkin and later Ricky Martin) is outstanding, as is Sean MacLaughlin’s Juan Peron, and Christopher Johnstone’s tango singer Magaldi. The chorus is superb.

HARTFORD

By MARK AUERBACH Correspondent HARTFORD – Eva Duarte Peron was an ambitious small town girl on a mission. Using her street smarts, her charisma, and her other talents, she worked her way to the top, first as an Argentine actress and then as First Lady. She lived high, lived fast, and died young. But, she never forgot “Los Dascamisados”, the poor she grew up with, as a girl from the slums, and her people adored her.

Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber, charmed by the story of Eva Peron and her rapid rise to celebrity, created “Evita” as a “concept album” in 1976. A stage musical version opened in London in 1978, followed by an award-winning Broadway production, staged

by Harol Prince. That production put Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin on the map.

Madonna starred in the movie version, and Ricky Martin headed the cast of the 2012 Broadway production, from which this tour was adapted.

“Evita” offers some musical gems from the sizzling “Buenos Aires” to the gallant “Waltz for Eva and Che”.

Composer Lloyd Webber reached his pinnacle with his later “The Phantom of The Opera”, but “”Evita” has a challenging score, occasionally repetitive, but full of nuance, and appreciation of the Argentine tango music.

On a unit set well-designed

by Christopher Oram (who also designed the costumes), director Michael Grandage and choreographer Rob Ashford (whose Broadway staging was recreated by Seth Sklar-Heyn and Chris Bailey respectively) give the all sungthrough musical a fast pace.

The ensemble tableaus are moving, and some of the dancing, especially “Buenos Aires”, sometimes sizzles. I liked Neil Austin’s lights and Zachary Borovay’s projections of newsreel footage of the real Perons.

In the original Broadway production, focus was given to the actress playing Evita.

Some of the tour-de-force Evitas included Patti LuPone (who originated the role and won a Tony Award in the process) and Florence Lacey (my

White’s hat trick sinks Comp

By Chris Putz Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Westfield High School boys’ soccer team avoided the dreaded “letdown” game, following up a dramatic comeback with a sound victory.

Dante White recorded his second hat trick of the season, scoring three goals to lead Westfield past visiting Chicopee Comp 4-1 Wednesday.

Eric Shilyuk also scored for the Bombers.

“I was a little bit worried after that last-minute win against Agawam on Monday,” Westfield coach Andrew Joseph said. “I thought we were going to kind of dwell on that and not be ready for this game, but we were.”

Westfield scored three goals in a 52-second span with less than four minutes remaining in regulation Monday to stun Agawam 3-2. On Wednesday, the Bombers took control from the outset.

Ian Saltmarsh finished with two saves against the Colts.

Said coach Joseph: “We got two very important league points.”

LATE RESULTS GOLF St. Mary 14, Hampshire 10 No. 1 golfer Matt Wurster and Harry Reed, from the third spot, each golfed a 46 to lead St. Mary (3-4) to victory at Tekoa Country Club Tuesday.

Hampshire’s top golfer finished as the leader with a 43.

Mahar 19, St. Mary 46 James Marasi placed third overall, finishing in 18:34 for St. Mary. Saints’ Jacob Butler was 17th (24:33).

Casey Rutledge, the lone St. Mary female finisher, placed fourth in 27:45.

Palmer 20, Westfield Voc-Tech 4 Zach James shot a match-low 37 at the top spot to lead unbeaten Palmer to its seventh straight victory at East Mountain Country Club Tuesday.

Matt King led Voc-Tech with a 40. Tigers’ Jake Parsons shot a 41.

BOYS’ CROSS COUNTRY Monson 24, Gateway 35 HUNTINGTON – Gateway’s Kyle Bessette captured first place in Tuesday’s 2.76-mile race in the Littleville Dam area.

Bessette finished in 17 minutes, 13 seconds.

Monson’s Robert Scibelli and Oliver Johnson were second (17:56) and third (18:04), respectively.

David Britland (4th, 18:14) and Tyler Heeter (7th, 20:18) managed to crack the top 10 for Gateway. Monson placed fifth and sixth, and swept the 8-11 spots.

GIRLS’ CROSS COUNTRY Hampshire 18, Southwick 38 Taula Thibault won the 3-mile home course in 21 minutes, 15 seconds for Hampshire, which captured six of the top seven finishes Tuesday.

Emily McKinney placed first for Southwick, third overall, in 21:29. Rams’ Samantha Smith (22:41), Abigail Howe (22:54), and Cassie White (23:01) crossed the finish line seventh, eighth, and ninth overall, respectively.

JV BOYS’ SOCCER Southwick 13, Sabis 1 Kapcer Kisala recorded a hat trick, Mason Kowal scored two goals, and eight other Southwick JV players scored one goal apiece in a home rout Monday.

Austin Davis, Nick Doyle, Jameson Secovich, Jake Stathers, Sam Willis, Tyler Orban, Dylan Buscemi, and Shane Dowd scored for the Rams.

Southwick’s Tim McGrath, Matt Daley, and Nick Doyle had two assists, and Secovich, Dan Gawron, Kowal, and Willis each had one.

Annie’s Mailbox

By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

Can you explain how it helps?

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for four years. We were high school sweethearts. We were both briefly married to other people before reuniting, and my husband has a child from his first marriage. My husband was raised by his grandparents, but when he was a teenager, he was introduced to his father and moved in with Dad, his new wife and their child.

They had a close relationship, but it seems over now.

It has been six months since we have seen or heard from my in-laws, even though they live in the same city. They often visit their other son, who lives a mile away, but they never come to see us. They say we are welcome anytime, but never phone, text or invite us to family gatherings. My husband works out of town a lot, and I feel awkward showing up at their home without him.

Also a little disturbing is that they remain close with my husband’s ex-wife, which is great for my stepson. But if they can put so much effort into having a relationship with her (and her boyfriend), why not their own son?

Should we address this issue or let it be? -- Feeling Ousted by In-Laws Dear Ousted: The issue should be addressed, but not by you.

Your husband should speak up and ask his parents what’s going on. It could be that the ex-wife has asked them to limit contact as a condition of seeing their grandson. Or perhaps your mother-in-law is closer to her biological child than she is to your husband and leaves it to Dad to keep in touch -- and Dad is not particularly good at it. If so, it may help for you to make the greater effort to cozy up to your mother-in-law and develop a friendlier relationship. But as always in such cases, there’s only so much you can do without some effort from the other side.

Dear Annie: I am part of a ladies book club. Each of us is responsible on a rotating basis for the meal and facilitating the discussion. We have a lot of fun and have read some very interesting books.

The problem is that two of the members take turns hosting at the same house. This house is absolutely filthy and seems to get worse every time. The bathrooms smell like urine, there is no hand soap, the furniture is covered in dust and dog hair, and the trashcans are overflowing. Because they both host there, we are forced to endure the conditions twice as often. We no longer want to attend meetings there.

The ladies in our club are not snobs, but the rest of us make some effort to offer a comfortable environment for our meetings. We don’t want to make dishonest excuses, and we don’t want to hurt their feelings by telling them, but we also don’t want to eat food prepared in filth. What can we do? -- Southern Bookworm Dear Bookworm: Because you aren’t willing to tell them you are uncomfortable eating in that house, we suggest you have every meeting at the same neutral location -- perhaps a restaurant or coffee shop. Some bookstores and libraries allow you to host such events, and you can check out other locations, as well.

Meals do not have to be served. It may not be as intimate, but it solves the problem.

Dear Annie: I think “Salem, Ore.,” had a wonderful idea to stop giving them Christmas gifts. When my grandparents became advanced in years, I could see that they didn’t need anything, but I still wanted to give them gifts. I found the perfect solution. I’d bake them Christmas cookies after Thanksgiving but before Christmas. That way, they could enjoy the festive season and have treats when visitors came. They were very grateful and would return the empty container, which I’d refill the following year. -- Nancy Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE GREASING PAN Dear Heloise: I read your column on using a pastry brush to get the shortening into the crevices of a fluted cake pan. I use a sandwich bag as a makeshift glove. I scoop the shortening and spread it around the pan. This makes it easy to get into those crevices. Cleanup is easy. -Pam R., via email EXTRA COFFEE Dear Heloise: While getting prepared for the approaching Hurricane Iselle, here in Maui, Hawaii, I made several pots of coffee and stored them in a large pot in case the power went off for a few days. As we always keep a gallon bottle of water frozen to help keep things cool in case of a power outage, I now keep frozen bottles of coffee, too. In case of prolonged misery, as the bottle thaws we will have coffee, which can be quickly warmed up on the gas barbecue. -- Robert in Hawaii Aloha to my friends in Hawaii! Glad you made it through the hurricanes! For coffee drinkers who cannot function until they get their morning fix, this is a great hint and a way to have something comforting at these times. -- Mahalo, Heloise FUZZY FOOD Dear Heloise: I recently read your column about kiwifruit.

The easiest way to enjoy kiwifruit is to cut off the end and eat it with a spoon. There’s no mess, and it’s delicious! -- Marion K., Edwardsville, Pa.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Sept. 25, 2014: This year you move into a period where your social life is highlighted.

You will network professionally and expand your personal circle as well. You know what you want, and you have the ability to achieve it. Review your longterm goals, as you could discover that you might not want to pursue one of them anymore. If you are single, consider what you want in a relationship.

You will have a lot of opportunities to make a match that could work well. If you are attached, the two of you will be seen together more often. You also will manifest a mutual goal that will bring both of you ear-to-ear smiles. LEO always is a good friend to you.

ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie

ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett

ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Someone could compare you to lightning: nearly impossible to stop, with flashes of great ideas. A partner or friend could have a problem dealing with your sparkle and energy. Be gracious about any negative comments.

Tonight: Be sensitive to a loved one.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Others often expect a lot from you, whether or not you are willing to give it. Your caring could move a personal matter past a problem and help the other party realize that the situation might not be as bad as he or she believes it to be. Tonight: Pace yourself, but make time for the gym.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Your imagination could go to extremes as you attempt to infuse a situation with a little more fun and creativity. Understand what is happening with a child or loved one. This person really thrives with your attention, support and caring. Tonight: Pretend that it’s the weekend.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Staying close to home might not be as pleasant as you would like. It is likely that someone you need to respond to will demand your feedback, if not your presence. Curb a tendency to go overboard with spending. Tonight: Happiest at home.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Your personality will come out in a presentation or when having a discussion with a loved one. You will be more open to unexpected solutions than to traditional ones. Make sure to return all calls. Tonight: You can be found wherever the action is.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Sometimes you underestimate how much you have to offer. You could feel as if no one is listening to you.

Just because you do not receive the rousing response you desire, it does not mean that you were not heard. Have patience, please. Tonight: Your treat.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Avoid being scattered at all costs. You might need to place limits on a situation that could irk you or cause you a problem. Your friends will be a major distraction, but one that you will appreciate. Say “yes” to the moment.

Tonight: Just don’t be alone!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You could be inordinately tired, as all the happenings around you could drain you far more than you realize. Try not to overreact. In fact, pull back if you suspect you are withered!

Go for a walk, and handle important matters later. Tonight: Make tonight just for you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to use some of your high energy to help a child or loved one who could be off-kilter. You seem to find solutions where others cannot. Be direct in how you deal with a loved one. Spontaneity is the only path.

Tonight: Out and about.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Be aware of your limits when dealing with a boss, friend or older relative. You could be taken aback by this person’s requests. Someone close, perhaps a family member, will chime right in and make a situation better than it has been. Tonight: Could go till the wee hours.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Take an overview, and understand where others are coming from. Otherwise, what you see happening will make little to no sense. You might just decide to cut off a conversation with a difficult person. Tonight: Have a leisurely visit with a loved one.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You will get a better sense of

Cryptoquip

Crosswords

where someone else is coming from. You could discover that a loved one simply might be reacting to you. Laughter will energize both of you and allow more fun. Count your change carefully. Tonight: Go with someone else’s choice.

THE WESTFIELD NEWS

Does short week help healthier Giants?

By BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer Nothing is worse than being hit by a slew of injuries in a Sunday game. Except, of course, having to then play on Thursday. Just ask the Washington Redskins.

Washington listed nearly a dozen players on its injury report heading into the prime-time NFC East matchup with the Giants. Still, Washington, tied for No. 23 in the AP Pro32 with Cleveland, is a 3 1-2 point favorite over the No. 25 Giants.

On defense alone, cornerback DeAngelo Hall went out for the season with a ruptured Achilles tendon suffered in the loss to Philadelphia. While nickel cornerback Tracy Porter (hamstring) could be back after missing the first three games, safety Duke Ihenacho broke his left foot and is done for the year.

End Jason Hatcher has a hamstring injury, and linebacker Brian Orakpo will wear a large cast to protect a torn ligament in his left middle finger.

The offense, of course, is without quarterback Robert Griffin III (dislocated ankle), although Kirk Cousins has stepped in and performed well. Top running back Alfred Morris missed a portion of the Eagles game with a knee issue, but returned and seems OK. Tight end Jordan Reed (hamstring) missed the Philly game, and guard Shawn Lauvao probably will sit out Thursday night, too.

And now, a short week.

“Now it’s a matter of getting plays installed Monday morning and getting players out there and practicing them,” coach Jay Gruden said.

“We’re going through the same process, we just have got to do it a lot faster. You have got to watch film a little bit faster, you have got to go through the plays a little bit faster, you have got to write down the plays faster. Yeah, it’s tough. I’m a little jittery right now. I’ve had 17 cups of coffee.”

The caffeine will keep Gruden alert, but the

injuries will keep the Redskins from winning.

UPSET SPECIAL: GIANTS, 30-27 No. 26 Miami (minus 4 1-2) vs. No. 30 Oakland at London At least Raiders collected thousands of frequent flyer miles to get beaten in Foxborough, and now at Wembley.

BEST BET, DOLPHINS 20-10 No. 17 Green Bay (minus 1) at No. 8 Chicago Packers on brink of becoming irrelevant.

Desperation pays off.

PACKERS, 24-21 No. 16 New Orleans (minus 3) at No. 19 Dallas Saints, a mediocre road team, nearly won twice away from New Orleans. Third time is a charm ...

SAINTS, 32-31 No. 13 Atlanta (minus 3) at No. 28 Minnesota Falcons, a mediocre road team, are favorites, showing how far Vikings have tumbled.

FALCONS, 28-20 No. 18 Buffalo (plus 3) at No. 20 Houston Hard to believe winner of this will be 3-1.

TEXANS, 21-20 No. 27 Tennessee (plus 7 1-2) at No. 14 Indianapolis Time for Colts to reassert they are AFC South’s best team.

COLTS, 31-13 No. 32 Jacksonville (plus 13) at No. 6 San Diego Time to start noticing what’s going on with Bolts.

CHARGERS, 31-13 No. 4 Philadelphia (plus 5 1-2) at No. 15 San Francisco Two teams headed in opposite directions.

That trend ends here.

49ERS, 23-21 No. 7 New England (minus 3 1-2) at No. 22 Kansas City, Monday night Patriots burned us as Best Bet last week. So

avoiding such an emphatic pick now.

PATRIOTS, 20-17 No. 12 Carolina (plus 3) at No. 9 Baltimore Steelers exposed Panthers’ run defense, and Ravens also can ground it out when needed.

RAVENS, 20-16 No. 10 Detroit (minus 1 1-2) at No. 22 New York Jets

Unless Jets find a pass rush, Megatron will destroy them.

LIONS, 27-22 No. 31 Tampa Bay (plus 7 1-2) at No. 11 Pittsburgh No way Tampa coach Lovie Smith allows another poor performance like debacle at Atlanta.
