Council sets special meeting
Attempted murder charged
By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Council on Aging may get approval of its $7.5 million bond to fund the construction of a new 20,000-square-foot senior center on Noble Street before the end of the fiscal year. The City Council is planning to meet on Monday, June 30, the last day of the 2014 fiscal year, to consider several year-end appropriations, and could take up the second reading and final passage of the senior center bond at that meeting. The council approved the first reading of the bond (it typically take two meetings to vote on financial matters such as bonds) at the June 5 meeting, with the expectation that the second reading and final passage would occur at the June 19 council session. There is a state requirement that the second reading, and potentially final approval, be published at least 10 days prior to the second council session. COA Executive Director said the bond
By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A South Hadley man is facing charges including attempted murder following an altercation on the water at the Hampton Ponds Friday. City police and firefighters responded to an 8:05 p.m. call from a person who reported that two male parties in different kayaks were fighting each other with oars. Officer Seth Florek was among several officer who responded and reports that he was told that a man fishing from a kayak had been approached by others and one of the approaching boats bumped his new kayak. The victim reportedly asked the offending boater to stay away and that paddler complied but another boater took offense, striking him with a paddle and punching him causing both boats to spill the occupants into the water. The victim said that the assault continued in the water and the other man attempted to hold his head under the water As a result, Florek reports the second boater, Richard Rovelli, 23, of 43 North Main St., South Hadley, was arrested for assault and battery, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and attempted murder. Rovelli was arraigned Monday before Judge Philip A. Contant in Westfield District Court and the criminal complaint states “On 6/20/2014 (the defendant) did, by striking victim three times in the head with an oar, punched victim several times, knocked him out of kayak and held victim’s head underwater in an attempt to kill said victim.” Rovelli was released from police custody on $300 cash bail and, at his arraignment, Contant set bail at $350 pending an Aug. 7 hearing. He was held on a detainer requested by the probation department. A check of court records reveals that, on March 11, 2014, Rovelli, then of 107 Berkshire Ave., Southwick, submitted to facts sufficient to warrant a guilty finding for a charge of receiving stolen property valued more than $250 brought by Southwick police and was placed on probation for six months.

Conservation board allows projects By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Conservation Commission set minimal conditions on three projects last night because there was no significant threat of harm to wetlands or resource areas within the board’s jurisdiction. Both West Springfield and Westfield requested determination of applicability to wetland protection laws for two projects near resource areas. Mark Noonan, the Conservation Commission’s former coordinator who is now performing similar duties in West Springfield, and Deputy Department of Public Works Superintendent for Water Jeffrey Auer presented the details of the West Springfield project to demolish two houses on Shaker
Road and return that land to habitat. Auer said the city applied for a $400,000 state grant for the demolition project estimated at $475,000 and was awarded $200,000. The West Springfield Community Preservation Act accounts will be used to finance the city’s share of the project cost. The state funding is a grant designed to protect sources of drinking water, Auer said. The two properties at 581 and 578 Shaker Road are within the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Zone II groundwater protection regulations. The DEP’s Groundwater Protection Regulations are intended to prevent contamination of public drinking water sup-
ply wells through regulating the application of pesticide products within primary recharge areas. A primary recharge area is either an “Interim Wellhead Protection Area” or a “Zone II.” “Our Zone II is the southern part and the northern part is the Westfield Zone 11,” Auer said. The plan is to remove the houses and outbuildings, pavement and concrete foundations, then allow the property, more than 6.5 acres, revert to natural habitat. Noonan said that all utilities servicing the two houses, located just south of Great Brook and west of Kellogg Brook, have been disconnected. Noonan said the most significant part of the demolition work is related to removal of a shed on piers which overhangs a resource area.

By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – When two delivery drivers admitted, in April, that they had perpetrated a gruesome Easter ‘prank’ only two of the five rabbit heads they claimed to have left in mailboxes in the city had been discovered. Since then, the other three rabbit heads have been reported and investigated, and charges have been filed. And the two men – Joshua A. Balise, 26, of 87 Cochran St., Chicopee and Christopher R. McHugh, 24, of 78 Corona St., Springfield – have had of what is likely be the first of their several days in court. The first two of the five rabbit heads eventually discovered were found on the day after Easter in mailboxes on Pinehurst and Willis streets which, apparently coincidently, belonged to two sisters. Det. Brian Freeman was assigned to investigate and reports in a court document “After The Westfield News and other media outlets ran the story, the Westfield Police Department received another report of a similar event” and eventually five rabbit heads were found to have been deposited in mailboxes for residents to find. After the bizarre story was repeated by a multitude of media outlets, both locally and nationally, Freeman also received word from a witness who reported that he had seen two acquaintances “with rabbit heads early in the morning of Easter Sunday. He stated that both parties were talking about their ‘Easter Prank’ and told him that they had five rabbit heads and that they were going to put them in mailboxes on Easter as a joke.”

Westfield State launches community radio WESTFIELD – Westfield State University’s radio station WSKB 89.5 FM is launching a series of community radio shows daily from 6-8 a.m. starting on Monday. The expanded format is due to the increased frequency provided from the station’s new antenna. The new antenna that was acquired in March enables listeners to hear the station to the Connecticut border to the south, Northampton line to the north, Chester State Forest to the west, and Massachusetts Turnpike Exit 6 (Interstate 291) to the east. The station is also available to stream on the Tune In Radio App. “It’s exciting to see Westfield State add-
ing community radio programming to its excellent college radio lineup of music and talk radio shows,” said Dr. Michael Filas, faculty advisor for WSKB. “It is great to see the upgraded station become a locus for interaction and shared interests between students and Westfield community members, groups who are otherwise out of touch with each other.” Receiving funding for, acquiring, and setting up the new antenna was a collaborative effort which included the city of Westfield led by Mayor Daniel M. Knapik; Westfield State’s Department of Student Affairs, Kurt Jackson and the staff of Hampden Communications; Curt Robie, Ron Jackson

Police: Burglar busted after not exiting Facebook SOUTH ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Police didn’t have to work hard to catch a man who broke into a Minnesota house. First the burglar failed to log out of Facebook after checking his profile on the homeowner’s computer. Then he agreed to meet up with homeowner James Wood in an effort to get back wet clothes he’d left behind. Wood tells WCCO-TV (http://cbsloc. al/1nBdpar) the burglar has to be the “world’s dumbest criminal.” South St. Paul police say the burglar took credit cards, cash and a watch last week. Wood posted his phone number on the burglar’s Facebook page, hoping someone would call. The burglar himself texted Wood and agreed to meet with the homeowner, thinking he could negotiate for his clothes. When Wood spotted the burglar, he recognized him from Facebook and called police.

Government Meetings
Continued from Page 1 was not published until June 11, meaning that it could not be included on the June 19 agenda, meaning that it would not be voted upon until the July 7 meeting of the City Council. “We’ve waited two years. Two more weeks won’t make much difference,” Gorman said Monday before Mayor Daniel M. Knapik requested Councilor President Brent B. Bean II to call for a special council session to deal with several year-end financial matters. “We’re fine, our preference would have been last Thursday (June 19) but in the long-term we should be shovel-in theground this summer. “I know that Eric (Forish of Forish Construction of Mainline Drive, which was awarded the construction contract) is anxious to get started,” Gorman said. “I did request that the bond be included on the agenda if a special meeting was called before the end of the fiscal year,” Gorman said earlier this week. Bean said yesterday that he initially scheduled the special meeting for Thursday, June 26, but that he changed the date to Monday because several members of the Finance Committee, which has to bring several issued out onto the council floor for consideration, are out of town this week on business trips. The agenda, which will not be posted until Thursday or Friday, of the special City Council meeting requires only 24 hour public notice, and is still tentative and evolving. Several of the agenda items are still pending in the council’s Finance Committee. The agenda, at this time, will include an appropriation request from the Technology Department for wireless devices to be installed at Westfield High School and review of three proposed contracts, two within the Fire Department and a department supervisors’ package. All four of those appropriation requests are in the Finance Committee. There is also an appropriation request of more than $10,000 from the School Committee for work at the Westfield Vocational Technical High School and a request from Knapik to sweep any remaining funds in the Free Cash account into the city’s Stabilization account.

Projects Continued from Page 1 land and nearby property owned by Westfield Springfield with both Westfield and Southwick. The commission also adopted conditions to protect a wetland resource area in proximity to Amy Drive where Westfield is extending a sewer line to capture a capped sewer system installed when Christopher Drive was constructed. City Engineer Mark Cressotti said an existing sewer line will be extended and that the scope of work is limited to the pavement. “It’s cut and fill work that is supposed to take a week to a week and a half to complete,” Cressotti said. “Then we’ll be paving when we’re done installing the sewer line extension.” Conservation Coordinator Karen Leigh said there is a small wetland, created as a stormwater structure, within 30 feet of the pavement. The commission sets conditions to prohibit stockpiling of soil during excavation and a removal of loose soil from the pavement near the resource area. The third project is the addition to an existing telecommunication tower by Verizon/Bell Atlantic which is seeking to locate an antenna and associated equipment at 14 Delmont Avenue, the headquarters of Lecrenski Transportation Inc. Dean Gustafson of J.R. Russot Associated, East Windsor, Conn., presented detail of the project because the existing tower is in both a riverfront zone and flood plain. The tower and an elevated equipment deck was allowed under a previous application. Gustafson said the only environmental disturbance will be the installation of a natural gas line from the pavement to the tower to provide fuel for an emergency generator to be located on the elevated equipment deck. “It’s a temporary trench, which just encroaches into the resource area, across a lawn,” Gustafson said. “There will be no vegetation or tree removal. The commission set a condition requiring the company to post a $5,000 bond until the work is completed and to give the Conservation Department a 48-hour notice prior to initiating work on the project.
Suspects Continued from Page 1 With suspects identified, Freeman invited Balise to the station for an interview and when he arrived he was accompanied by McHugh. Freeman reports that he had not mentioned McHugh when he spoke with Balise. The two men were interviewed separately after they each knowingly waived their Miranda rights. “Both parties were reluctant to tell the truth and came to the station with the intent of denying any wrongdoing,” Freeman reports. “Both eventually admitted that a few days before Easter that took five dead rabbits from roads in Southwick and Granville and thought it would be funny to cut the heads off and leave them for people to find on Easter.” Freeman later said that the two men were delivery drivers for a Springfield newspaper and left the rabbit heads in random mailboxes when they delivered their Sunday newspapers in the city. “The geniuses didn’t realize that people weren’t going to open their mailboxes on Easter morning” to find the rabbits, Freeman said. He said that the duo claimed that “they found five dead rabbits, at different spots, like roadkill” but said he has difficulty believing that aspect of their story. In his report to the court, Freeman notes “I believe it is not plausible that someone could find five dead rabbits on the side of the road in a few hours. It is also not believable that someone could even hit five rabbits with a car on purpose in the short time period.” Although some of the rabbit heads were buried before police became involved Freeman reports that the specimen that he examined showed no sign of being run over and the person who buried the first two rabbit heads said that did not appear to have been stuck by a car. He noted that Balise had recently completed a hunter’s safety course and speculated that he was dissembling to protect his hunting license. He writes “The consensus of the officers I have spoken with about this is that the suspects killed these animals on purpose with the intent of using the animals in their ‘prank’”. Freeman said killing rabbits, and even decapitating the corpses, is not a violation of the cruelty to animals statute and predicted that the men would be charged only with disorderly conduct. On June 20, the two men appeared in Westfield District Court before Judge Philip A. Contant and were each arraigned for five charges of disorderly conduct. In addition each was charged with three charges of vandalizing property and two charges of defacing property relative to the mailboxes where they left the bloody rabbit heads. At least three of the victims who found the rabbit heads in their mailboxes, mature women who live alone, had expressed concern to Freeman that the perpetrators might retaliate if they pressed charges but all there wanted to pursue the charges anyway. Contant enjoined both defendants from making any threats or violence toward the victims when he allowed their release on their personal recognizances pending Aug. 12 hearings.
104th Return Continued from Page 1 on strategic, operational and tactical levels,” Vice Commander of the 104th Fighter Wing Col. Kenneth Lambrich said. “Strategically we have demonstrated the ability to deploy a force capable of sustained operations in the western Pacific theater. Operationally we have identified and overcome the numerous logistical obstacles involved with deploying and sustaining this force on the opposite side of the planet. Tactically we gained a great deal of knowledge by training against the very best Russian-designed aircraft in the world; as well as proficiency in employing our F-15 Eagles in concert with F-22 Raptors.” As unit members return, aircraft activity will increase in the local area of Westfield Barnes Regional Airport during the week. Numerous aircraft, such as the F-15 Eagles, C-17 Globemaster III, C-130 Hercules, and KC-135 Stratotankers will be arriving and departing at varying times during the upcoming days.

Poll: 5 percent newly insured in 2014 By Sarah Wheaton Politico.com About 5 percent of Americans who were uninsured last year got coverage in 2014, and more than half of those — about 2.8 percent of the population — obtained their plan through an Obamacare exchange, according to a Gallup poll released Monday. The poll, taken after the close of the first enrollment season, pegged the uninsured rate at more than 13 percent. Among those newly insured through exchanges, young adults outpaced their share of the general population more than any other age group. However, the daily tracking poll, conducted between April 15 and June 17, also found that the newly insured were also less healthy than average adults. A Kaiser Family Foundation survey released last week found that 57 percent of those who bought exchange plans had been previously uninsured. With the millions of Americans who remain uninsured, the government “may have to intensify its current outreach strategies to motivate resistant citizens to enroll,” wrote Gallup’s Steve Ander and Frank Newport. “Investing resources into attracting more enrollees would align with the plan to increase fines in the coming enrollment period for those without minimum essential coverage.” The poll was conducted between April 15-June 17, among 31,438 adults and with a margin of error of plus or minus 1 percentage point.

COMMENT
Takeaways from a wild primary night By James Hohmann Politico.com Tuesday night was bad for Democrats, good for the GOP establishment and great for incumbents of both parties. Going into the latest round of primaries, top Republicans feared that Sen. Thad Cochran would fall in Mississippi, immigration hard-liner Tom Tancredo could win their gubernatorial nomination in Colorado and GOP Rep. Richard Hanna would lose a primary in New York because he had endorsed gay marriage. Such a scenario would have kept one of the country’s reddest states on the map of competitive Senate races through the fall and badly damaged the Republican’s Senate challenger in Colorado — not to mention spurred days of negative coverage presenting the tea party as ascendent and the GOP as intolerant. But the Republican nightmare didn’t happen: Cochran and Hanna won, Tancredo lost and Rep. James Lankford trounced his Ted Cruz-backed rival in an Oklahoma Senate primary, avoiding a widely expected runoff. With that in mind, here are takeaways from Tuesday night: Mississippi is off the map. The Magnolia State would have joined Kentucky and Georgia as a potential pickup opportunity for Democrats in a year when they are mostly focused on defending incumbents in red states. A win by the 41-year-old McDaniel would have created at least a narrow opening for Democratic candidate Travis Childers, a moderate former congressman. Now Cochran is expected to coast to a seventh term. That means millions of dollars that might have been spent to get McDaniel across the finish line in November can now be invested in races that will decide control of the Senate. Eric Cantor looks like an outlier. The House majority leader’s loss in Virginia two weeks ago seems more like an exception in a year that’s otherwise gone well for the establishment. Incumbents everywhere did well. Even Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel looks poised to win his Democratic primary and with it a 23rd term, despite a changing district and a credible challenge from a state senator who almost toppled him two years ago. “The one thing that everyone can agree on tonight: The Cantor loss now looks even more embarrassing for Cantor,” tweeted Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee executive director Guy Cecil. Bigger picture, for the first time since 2008, every Republican senator now looks likely to win his primary this year. In Kansas on Aug. 5, Sen. Pat Roberts is heavily favored over physician Milton Wolf, who has been on the defensive over patient X-rays he posted on Facebook. And on Aug. 7 in Tennessee, Sen. Lamar Alexander looks safe against state Rep. Joe Carr. The results are a major blow to conservative outside groups who talked a big game about holding incumbents accountable, whether in Kentucky, Texas or South Carolina. In Mississippi alone, Club for Growth Action spent $3.1 million and Senate Conservatives Action Fund spent $1.3 million boosting McDaniel. In Colorado, Democratic meddling did not work. The Republican establishment breathed a sigh of relief as former Rep. Bob Beauprez won a four-way GOP primary over Tancredo. Tancredo, also a former congressman, ran for president in 2008 and then, as a third-party candidate, for governor in 2010. An independent group funded by the Democratic Governors Association and others on the left spent a quarter-million dollars on ads, many of which seemed designed to promote Tancredo in the primary by calling him “too conservative for Colorado.” The fear among top Republicans was that Tancredo’s hardline positions on a host of hot button issues, especially immigration, would gin up Democratic base turnout in November.
This would hurt their star Senate recruit, Rep. Cory Gardner, who is locked in a tight race with Democratic Sen. Mark Udall. Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper is still favored to beat Beauprez, who lost by 17 percentage points when he was the GOP nominee for governor in 2006. But the race could certainly tighten if 2014 turns into a wave election. The GOP gets its candidates in New York. In the state’s 22nd Congressional District, Republican Hanna held off a spirited primary challenge from Assemblywoman Claudia Tenney, who attacked him over his support for gay marriage. She had the backing of several big social conservative groups, and Rick Santorum recorded a last-minute robocall on her behalf. In the 21st District, where Democrat Bill Owens is retiring, GOP operative Elise Stefanik crushed Matt Doheny, a selffunder who lost to Owns the past two cycles. Stefanik, who helped write the Republican platform and prepared Paul Ryan for his vice presidential debate in 2012, received $800,000 in outside help from American Crossroads and benefited from a Mitt Romney endorsement. The 29-year-old is now favored to win the seat this fall. In the 1st District, on Long Island, state Sen. Lee Zeldin handily beat former Wall Street prosecutor George Demos, who lost in the 2010 GOP primary. Zeldin had the backing of the U.S. Chamber, the American Action Network and the US Jobs Council, which overcame Demos’ self-funding advantage. Zeldin now faces perennially vulnerable Democratic Rep. Tim Bishop. In Oklahoma, the Baptists were more organized than the tribes. Two-term Rep. James Lankford crushed T.W. Shannon — the former speaker of the state House who was backed by tea party hero Ted Cruz — and avoided a runoff in the special election to succeed the retiring Tom Coburn. Before being elected to the House in 2010, the 46-year-old Lankford ran the biggest Baptist summer camp in the state. This helped him build an extensive network among the religious right, and they mobilized for him across the state. Shannon is both an African-American and a member of the Chickasaw Nation, whose gambling interests make it a major, deep-pocketed player in Oklahoma politics. But the Baptists were far more energized than the tribes, and Lankford far outperformed polls that showed him with a slight lead but below the majority needed to avoid a runoff. Lankford faces no credible Democratic opposition in the fall. In Maryland, Martin O’Malley’s hand-picked successor easily won the Democratic primary. No surprise, Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown cruised to an easy victory. He won with more than twice as many votes as Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler and Heather Mizeur, an openly gay state delegate, at the end of a particularly nasty primary. Brown, an African-American veteran, faces only token GOP opposition this November to succeed the outgoing O’Malley, who is gearing up for a 2016 presidential campaign. The governor was just in Iowa over the weekend and then flew back to campaign with Brown ahead of the primary. Their administration took heat over the disastrous rollout of an Obamacare exchange and their push to raise taxes during the past eight years, but Brown’s win is undoubtedly helpful for O’Malley. “Anthony and I have worked together to raise Maryland’s minimum wage, pass marriage equality, expand opportunity by enacting the Maryland DREAM Act, and pass common sense gun safety legislation,” O’Malley said in an email to supporters just after the race was called.

Recent Poll: More say Iraq war not worth it By Kendall Breitman Politico.com A rising number of Americans believe the war in Iraq was not worth fighting. A NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Annenberg poll released Tuesday shows that 71 percent of those surveyed think the war in Iraq “wasn’t worth it,” while only 22 percent believe that the war was worth the efforts. Results show a large dip in approval of the Iraq war in comparison to the last time the pollsters asked if the war was worthwhile. In 2013, 59 percent said that the Iraq war wasn’t worth it, while 35 percent believed the opposite. The criticism of the Iraq war runs across all ages. Just 23 percent of young adults and 21 percent of seniors do not believe the war was worthwhile. Support was also low among men - only 22 percent answered that the war was worth it. When it comes to U.S. intervention into Iraq to stop militants from taking over the country, Americans are divided. Half say that the U.S. does not have a responsibility to intervene and 43 percent answered that the U.S. has an obligation to help. The poll was conducted from June 16 to June 22 among 1,383 Americans and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.27.

Voters to decide fate of state casino law By BOB SALSBERG Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — The casino industry and its opponents geared up yesterday for a high stakes campaign in Massachusetts after the state’s highest court cleared the way for a question seeking repeal of the state’s casino gambling law to go on the November state ballot. The Supreme Judicial Court’s ruling overturned Attorney General Martha Coakley’s finding that the question should be barred from the ballot because it could amount to an unconstitutional taking of property. The justices, in a unanimous decision, disagreed, noting that changes in gambling laws are among the “foreseeable risks” that casino developers and their investors take when they apply for licenses. The ruling sets the stage for a pricey war of words pitting the deep-pocketed industry against repeal activists who say casinos increase crime and traffic congestion while preying on gambling addicts, the poor and elderly. “This is a chance for a doover,” said Scott Harshbarger, a former state attorney general and lead adviser on the repeal effort. “The people have the right to vote and be heard.” The 2011 law allows for three regional resort casinos and one slots parlor. The Massachusetts Gaming Commission has so far awarded a license to MGM Resorts International for an $800 million casino in Springfield, and to Penn National Gaming for a slots parlor at the Plainridge racetrack in Plainville. The commission would continue the licensing process despite the “atmosphere of uncertainty” surrounding the repeal effort, commission chair Stephen Crosby said yesterday. The panel’s next major decision, the issuance of a casino license for the greater Boston region, was expected in September. Casino companies, arguing their developments are job creators and economic engines for communities that have welcomed the projects, pledged an all-out effort to convince voters to keep the law. “We are fully prepared to extend this message to a larger audience through a statewide campaign to educate the voters on the enormous economic benefits that would be lost to the taxpayers of (Massachusetts) in a repeal,” said Michael Mathis, president of MGM Springfield. Mohegan Sun similarly promised to make its case as to why the law should stand. The company has proposed a $1.3 billion casino in Revere and is competing for the eastern license with Wynn Resorts, which has offered a $1.6 billion proposal for Everett. Wynn declined comment. Unlike contributions to political candidates, there are no donation limits to ballot question committees in Massachusetts. Additionally, corporations can make unlimited donations in support or opposition of ballot questions. That has the potential to unleash a flood of advertising money from casino operators and other supporters of the venues, including labor unions. It was unclear yesterday if developers planned to form an alliance to fight the repeal question, though a prominent trade organization, the American Gaming Association, promised to “ensure that voters have the facts about our industry instead of tired stereotypes.” The group said there was no precedent in the U.S. for voters to overturn a state casino law. John Ribeiro, chairman of the group Repeal The Casino Deal, said opponents were prepared for a “David versus Goliath” fight in which they’ll likely be outspent “100 to 1,” as they were in many

Summer Vacation
Eating Healthy on the Road By Allison Mitchell Correspondent Did you ever notice how the only foods that seem to be readily available at the highway rest stops are greasy fast foods or prepackaged convenience snacks? This can completely ruin your regularly healthy diet if you are not prepared. Planning a road trip to the beach this summer, or maybe somewhere even further? Plan ahead and pack smart so you and the family can eat healthy while on the road. Pack a cooler! First you’ll want to make sure you have plenty of fluids to keep you and your family hydrated. Ditch the cans of soda and juice boxes this summer and opt for good old fashioned water. Water is the best way to stay hydrated but you can also spice it up with a flavored seltzer or unsweetened iced tea with lemon. Next you’ll want to have on hand a variety of easy portable food items. Cooler Ideas:
As for the dry goods: • Nuts! Nuts are packed with good fats, fiber and protein and will help keep you full longer. Pre-portion into ¼ cup baggies and enjoy. Or you can also buy the “to-go” containers of peanut butter that make for easy dipping (like your sliced veggies)!
• Grapes, apples, oranges, bananas, or sliced fruit salad
As you can see, it may not be as hard as you think to eat healthy on the road. However, it does require a little planning ahead. But by planning ahead you are less apt to make that pit stop along the way. You won’t be faced with the overwhelming options of unhealthy food items at the gas station or fast food joint. You’ll hopefully be enjoying the ride, well hydrated and well fed on healthy food and drink you prepared for you and your family! ——— Allison Mitchell RD,LDN, is the Clinical Nutrition Manager at Noble Hospital.
• Low-fat cheese sticks
mozzarella
• Individual containers of yogurt or drinkable yogurt • Hummus and your favorite sliced veggies or grape tomatoes • Sandwiches (made by you)! Try making mini turkey sandwiches on dinner rolls, or the always popular peanut butter and jelly on whole grain bread.

The formal rollout for community radio will be September 2, 2014 to coincide with Westfield State’s annual HOOT (Helping Out Our Town) Day of community service in Westfield and to mark the celebration of 170 years of Westfield State in Westfield, Mass. Westfield State University’s community radio was organized by Barbara Hand, Bo Sullivan, Michael Knapik, Mayor Dan Knapik, Student Station Manager Jake Lehan, and the Community Development Department.

• Whole grain crackers such as Triscuits or whole grain pretzels.

Sons fights back McD’s By Chris Putz Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Sons of Erin staved off elimination against McDonald’s in the Babe Ruth Baseball Dan Welch City Cup Tuesday night, and now have a bite at claiming the top prize. Sons built an early lead, fell behind, and rallied late to defeat McDonald’s 12-11 to force a final championship game Thursday. Mickey D’s led 10-8 in the sixth inning after being down 8-3 early. Tyler Stairs landed the big hit in the fifth, an RBI single that resulted in two runs (thanks to a throwing error). Sons shortstop John O’Brien robbed McDonald’s of additional runs with a spectacular leaping, running grab of a fly ball to left field to end the threat. McDonald’s scored five more runs in the sixth. Liam Whitman smacked a two-run double down the first base line. With two outs, Scott Hoiberg hit a two-run squibber on the infield grass. The ball was haplessly thrown around the infield, resulting in another run. Mickey D’s led 10-8. In the bottom of the sixth inning, Shuan Gezotis drew a bases loaded walk to pull Sons within one, 10-9. They surged back ahead on Noah Murray’s double to deep left center field. Jake Butler tacked on an insurance run with an RBI single. Sons’ reliever Kyle Priest earned the victory after gutting out a tough seventh which saw Ryan Porter drive a run-scoring single to left field, and left fielder Shaun Gezotis gun down the potential go-ahead run at home plate with a sensational throw from left field for the game’s final out. The runs came in bunches from the outset. McDonald’s opened the game with three runs in the top of the first inning, but Sons bounced back with three runs of its own to tie the game. Sons scored three more in the sixth, and tacked on two in the third to claim an 8-3 lead before Mickey D’s rallied, setting the stage for the late-game drama.

Post 124 Walks Off, Gets It Dunn By Robby Veronesi WNG Intern WESTFIELD – After giving up the lead in the final inning, the experience of Westfield Post 124 fueled a comeback to overcome their first deficit of the game and win their fourth straight. Pinch-hitter Colin Dunn drove a groundball single under the shortstop’s glove to reward the hosts with their first walk-off win of the season, a 6-5 victory over Wilbraham Post 286 Tuesday night. “My job was to be a defensive player in the seventh inning,” said Dunn. “When I got up, I knew I had guys on second and third base, (and) I just tried to put it in play and that’s what I did.” After Matt Indemenico crushed a two-run double to right-centerfield to give the visitors the lead, Tim Donahue led off the bottom half of the inning with a triple. Connor Sas walked and stole second base with no outs. Brent Houle, the pitcher who earned the win despite giving up goahead hit, redeemed himself by plating Donahue on a sacrifice fly. After Matt Irzyk was hit by a pitch, Dunn took advantage and won the game. For the first time in a few games, Post 124 (8-1) jumped out to a lead early, scoring three runs in the first inning, thanks in part to an RBI triple from Rob Sullivan. The Wilbraham (1-6) defense held Post 124 to just a run during the next five innings, while stranding six men in scoring position. Sullivan led the offense for Westfield, going 2-3 with a walk, reaching all four at-bats and scoring two of the six runs. Five other Westfield batters recorded a hit and the team added to their aggressive base-running by stealing nine bases. “I don’t mind exciting games, but I don’t like it quite that exciting,” said Head Coach Don Irzyk. “This team’s got a lot of character and a lot of experience. They’re not going to die. Once we put the pressure on them, then we were able to do the job and come through. “We had a couple of opportunities where we still could have opened it up. That’s the thing I’m really looking to see. We got off to a great start with those runs early. I guess that’s the nature of how this stuff works.” The Wilbraham comeback thwarted a solid performance on the mound by starter Tim Kelleher. The Westfield High School pitcher began the game by retiring nine of the first 10 batters of the game before giving up a pair of runs in the fourth inning. Kelleher finished after the first two batters of the seventh inning reached, giving up just five hits over six innings, walking no one and striking out three. “Timmy pitched well. I was really happy with it,” said Irzyk. “If we made a few plays in the seventh inning, he probably would have gone the distance. I thought he threw very well.” Post 124 hits the road for the first time since Friday when they head to Forest Park to face off with East Springfield Post 420 Wednesday night at 5:45 p.m.

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
June 27 is PTSD Awareness Day! Dear Annie: I was an army medic who served two deployments in Iraq and saw more than two years’ worth of war injuries. Seeing injured soldiers, many of them young, maimed and seriously wounded, while also being concerned for your own life can have an impact on you long after you are out of the situation. After my second deployment, I relocated to San Francisco for a fresh start. It turned out that the busy city, with its noises and crowds, was extremely difficult, and I started feeling depressed and anxious, having panic attacks if people got too near. When a homeless man tapped my shoulder while I was waiting for a train, my reaction was so strong that I nearly threw him on the tracks. When a bus I was riding turned a corner and a can rolled by, the sound made me think I was about to be impacted by an IED explosion. Even the humming noise of a lot of people brought back memories of mass casualties, as did certain smells. I eventually secluded myself in my home, unwilling to risk the pain that reliving the memories of war caused. After a particularly bad panic attack, I sought help. I’m happy to say that therapy and mindfulness techniques worked well for me, and I hope others in my situation will seek help, too. June 27 is PTSD Awareness Day. Anyone can take the first step toward healing by taking a free, anonymous PTSD selfassessment. Nearly 70 percent of people have experienced a trauma in their lifetime, and about 20 percent of them later experience PTSD. Service members, veterans and their families can take an assessment at MindBodyStrength.org, and the broader community can visit PTSDScreening.org. I want people with PTSD to know they can get help. Sincerely -- Elijah Ochoa Dear Elijah Ochoa: We appreciate your service to our country and your openness about sharing your experiences. We are glad to know that you received the help you needed and deserved, and we hope others will take advantage of this free resource. Thank you for writing. Dear Annie: Please print my pet peeve. I am a senior citizen and dislike the terms used by waitresses, waiters and others serving the public. I feel that I’m being patronized when they call me, “Sweetie,” “Honey,” “Darlin’,” “Angel,” etc. These words are not endearing and make me want to decrease my tip. “May I take your order, please?” is all that is necessary. If you know my name, use it. Otherwise, please stop speaking to me as if I were 5 years old. -- B. Dear B.: There are some folks who like these terms of endearment, but we agree that they can seem patronizing. No server wants to insult you. If you don’t like such terms, please speak up, politely, and tell the server, “I’d appreciate it if you didn’t call me ‘honey.’” We are certain the server will comply. Dear Annie: “Smothered in California” resents that her inlaws invite them to dinner once a month and want to attend all of the kids’ activities. She sounds a bit self-centered. My in-laws babysat my kids whenever I needed help. I invite them to all of my children’s sporting events and school events. We dined out with them once a week when my boys were little. We spend part of every holiday with them. I never had a close relationship with my grandparents and took great pains to ensure that my sons did. My oldest is now 21, and my youngest is 16. I can’t get my boys to clean their rooms, but if the grandparents call and say they need help, it’s a done deal. The in-laws won’t be around forever. They obviously want to be involved. Be glad it’s not the reverse. -Grateful in Western Pennsylvania Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net.
HINTS FROM HELOISE Freeze That Fat! Dear Heloise: I always pour EXCESS COOKING FAT into a glass jar rather than putting it down the sink, so it won’t clog drains. What I haven’t been able to figure out is how to dispose of the jar once it’s full. Do you have any hints? -Barbara V. in Virginia I do! Keep the jar in the freezer so the grease hardens, then simply place it in the trash on garbage day. When you collect the fat and grease from cooking certain foods and place it into a glass jar with a lid, first make sure the grease is completely cooled before putting it into the jar and then into the freezer. -- Heloise SWEET RECYCLING Dear Heloise: This is my favorite hint for tasty, always-available desserts, and it involves recycling. Use a cleaned-out yogurt cup, put several scoops of ice cream or sherbet into it, add some crushed nuts and drizzle chocolate syrup over it. Cover with a piece of plastic wrap, and then a final cover of aluminum foil, and place in the freezer. I usually make four or so at a time. Kids and husbands love them, and they are always ready! -- Barbara in Florida

YOUR HOROSCOPE Contract Bridge By Jaqueline Bigar
DOG EAT DOUG
Brian Anderson
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, June 25, 2014: This year you mobilize your creativity. You might be considering taking a special trip or simply adding to your life possibilities. You also will gain financially, as you are likely to receive a promotion and/or a pay raise. If you are single, you could lavish a bit too much attention on someone you care about. Hold back a little to allow the other party to come forward. If you are attached, the two of you will want to regain some of the romantic fervor of the past. You might try many different ways, but going away together as a couple will help. GEMINI understands you a little too well. 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 Unexpected developments could pull you away from a key activity. Communication seems to flourish. If you encounter a difficulty, initiate a conversation with a friend, and he or she will offer feedback. Touch base with a difficult associate. Tonight: Go with the moment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You might be a lot friendlier than usual. Perhaps you have had a sudden insight or a revelation that points you to a new attitude. Don’t push someone away, if possible. Respect your differences. Tonight: Your significant other or best friend might be uptight. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You’ll come up with many new ideas. You have a unique opportunity to share more of what is important to you. A discussion with a loved one could become animated, but not necessarily quarrelsome. Tonight: Be in the moment 100 percent. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your ability to understand what is going on with a child or pal might be challenged. It seems as if the other party might feel criticized when any question or suggestion is made. You might want to keep your thoughts to yourself. Tonight: Stay close to home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH You might decide to focus on a project and enlist others’ support. You could feel a bit odd around an associate or loved one. A real estate matter or domestic issue is likely to present a limitation. Don’t feel awkward -- just handle the issue. Tonight: Join friends. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Your ability to handle pressure emerges. There might be one area of your life where you overindulge in order to relieve some stress. Take action, and be willing to verbalize what is necessary to correct the situation. Tonight: Out till the wee hours. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might be more forceful than you realize. Share your bottom line with a friend in order to get some feedback. You have been more volatile lately, and it would be good for you to get advice from someone you respect. Tonight: Experiment with a new idea. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You could be pushing a lot harder than you realize. Listen to news more openly, and you’ll see how you can put a positive spin on a difficult situation. A new beginning becomes possible, especially if a close friend agrees with you. Tonight: Hang with a favorite person. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might need to have a long-overdue discussion. You seem to see a matter differently from how a partner or friend sees it. A conversation will be necessary, even if you see little chance for agreement. Clear the air. Tonight: Add a festive element to a gettogether. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Be more direct with someone in your life; otherwise, this person will have no way of knowing where you are coming from. You will be anchored in a discussion with a family member who likely will agree with you. Tonight: Get some exercise, then decide. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH A friend might express his or her caring in a way that inadvertently causes you a problem. Explain where you are coming from, and remain sensitive to this person’s feelings. Someone you look up to could cause a problem; he or she needs your time. Tonight: Ever playful. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Take news with a grain of salt. One-on-one relating will take you

down a new path. A partner could be angry and a bit upset. Give this person some space to consider his or her options. Stay as neutral and unreactive as possible. Tonight: Run an errand on the way home.

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