To really get the summer vibes going, Hitting the Note, an Allman Brothers tribute band, will kick-off MusicFest at Park Square Green June 20. “During Westfield’s 350th anniversary, we wished to spotlight the incredible talents of region- al artists,” Gerry Tomasko, chair of the MusicFest series explained. “Each of our concerts will be headlined by musicians who have developed huge followings in the Pioneer Valley and beyond.” Making MusicFest happen this year took a little more creativity than in the past. Tomasko said the city’s giant 350th birthday cake, which is located right in front of the stage on the Green, presented the MusicFest Committee with a dilemma. Because of the cake location, the group asked the Parks and Recreation Department if it could utilize the north end of the Green near the gazebo. “They gave us the permit, but then we discov- ered there was no power,” Tomasko said. He and his committee members met with the city engineer and community development director to come up with a plan. “The city worked with Elm Electric to bring power to the gazebo for us,” he said. “We had a few challenges, but it’s worth it to celebrate the city and continue the MusicFest, which we have brought to downtown for seven years.” Next was figuring out a stage. “We had Jerome’s Party Plus come out and mea- sure and they are putting up a stage and tent,” Tomasko said.

Francis referred to that historic trip during his opening speech before Romanian government authorities and his sub- sequent meeting with Patriarch Daniel, the head of the Orthodox Church. John Paul’s 1999 visit to Romania, just 10 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, was the first by a pope to a majority Orthodox country since the Great Schism divided Christianity in 1054. It was marked by an extraordinary welcome for a Polish pope who helped bring down communism and included spon- taneous chants of “unity, unity” from the crowds. “This is already unity,” Francis told Daniel on Friday. “We need to help each other not fall into the seduction of a culture of hatred, an individualistic culture that may not be as ideological as during the atheist persecutions, but is still per- suasive,” he said. It’s the latest of Francis’ foreign trips to poor countries where Catholics are a minority. In Romania, they are a divided minority between two Catholic rites, Roman Catholic and Greek-Catholic Francis warned that all Romanians must come together even more now to confront today’s challenges, noting the huge numbers of people who leave the country each year in search of jobs, depopulating entire villages and weakening the roots of Romanian culture. “Only to the extent that a society is concerned for its most disadvantaged members, can it be considered truly civil,” he said. Key moments during Francis’ trip are his Mass for the largely Hungarian-speaking Roman Catholic faithful at the country’s most famous Marian shrine, Sumuleu Ciuc, in east- ern Transylvania. He will also beatify seven Greek-Catholic bishops who were martyred during communist rule, when Catholics were brutally persecuted. Joe Wilcox is congratulated by Bishop Mitchell T. Rozanski during the St. Mary High School Commencement Friday. “I’m coming to you to walk together,” Francis said in a (Photo by Kim Jascek) video released on the eve of his trip. In a sign of their unity, Francis and Patriarch Daniel recited the Our Father prayer in the Orthodox Cathedral, a towering St. Mary High School Class of 2019 new construction funded in part by a $200,000 donation by John Paul when he visited in 1999. Vatican spokesman Alessandro Gisotti stressed that while the two religious leaders physically prayed in the same place, they didn’t pray together, an important distinction for many Orthodox. Ordinary faithful were on hand for the chant-filled service, in sharp contrast to Francis’ recent visit to Bulgaria, when he was allowed to pray in the Orthodox cathedral in Sofia, but alone. In 1999, John Paul agreed to Orthodox demands that he visit only Bucharest and not Transylvania, where most of the coun- try’s Catholics live. In many ways then, Francis is fulfilling the itinerary that John Paul wanted to complete. As then, the issue of confiscated property of the Catholic Church that was given to the Orthodox during communist rule remains a sore spot in relations. Gisotti said there were no plans for any public discussion of the dispute but didn’t rule out private talks. “We live in times of peace and understanding, but we wish these relations (between churches) to become better,” said Francisc Dobos, spokesman for the Bucharest archbishopric. “We should not be afraid of one another, we should trust one another. This visit should make us become better Catholics and better Orthodox and in the end, better citizens.”

It wasn’t nearly that dramatic, but the Pittsfield Suns came within two outs of no-hitting the Westfield Starfires on Opening Day in the Whip City. “I didn’t expect to get no-hit,” said Westfield Starfires manager Bill Sandillo, following Friday night’s season opening 3-0 loss to the Suns at Bullens Field. “That I didn’t expect, but I’m glad we didn’t get no- Westfield’s Sean Murphy (7) takes a swing. hit at the end.” Pittsfield starting pitcher Jon Morrison no hit Westfield, tossing five shutout innings before turn- ing the ball over to the bullpen. Morrison struck out five batters and walked three. Westfield starting pitcher Jack Fox was nearly as effective, allowing just three runs – only one was earned – on five hits and one walk. He struck out eight batters. “I was just having fun out there, just competing, trying to stay focused every pitch, and just attack- ing,” Fox said. Pittsfield’s lead-off batter Dom Hughes wasted no time in seeing what Fox was made of, collecting a base hit in the first at-bat of the game. It proved to be a harmless hit though because Hughes was imme- diately thrown out attempting to steal second base by catcher Anthony Clark, of Westfield. The pitchers’ duel continued on for three scoreless innings until Pittsfield clean-up hitter Jack Khawly Starfires starting pitcher Jack Fox (6) fires one in against a setting sun.

According to team officials, attendance In nearly identical fashion, No. 5 batter Sean Moorhouse led off the fifth inning with a walk before Christian Walsh hit into a 6-4-3 double play. “They were just mixing it up well,” Moorhouse said of the team’s opposing pitcher. “That changeup was hard to pick up. Mixing that slider with the fastball keeps us off balance.” Pittsfield (2-0) padded its lead in the sixth inning. Hughes and Malcolm hit consecutive singles. Khawly loaded the bases with a one-out walk. Then, Dan Baruch launched a high fly ball into shallow center field. The second baseman drifted back into the out- field grass, and appeared to have it in his mitt, but it popped out onto the ground before he could squeeze his glove. Two runs scored, and the Suns led 3-0. “I think if we get one hit early either way, it’s a dif- ferent ball game,” Sandillo said. “Maybe it’s a 1-0 game then we score, it’s 1-1. Maybe it stays 1-1 into the seventh. It was that kind of a pitcher’s game. As soon as we made that error and two runs scored, it kind of deflated the kids a little bit. Coming back from 1-0 is different than 3-0.” Pittsfield nearly blew the game open in the eighth inning, drawing three straight walks off the Westfield bullpen before the Starfires turned an inning-ending double play when the first baseman snared a line drive and doubled off the baserunner caught cheating toward second base. Westfield threatened late. Pinch hitter Tommy Quinn led off the bottom of the seventh inning with a walk off Pittsfield reliever Shaun Gamelin. Quinn was replaced by pinch runner Matt Costanza. Costanza advanced on a wild pitch. With one out, pinch hitter Andrew Ciacciarelli broke up the no- hitter with a single to left field. Sandillo waved Audrey Gamble tosses a t-shirt to the crowd.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, June 1, 2019: This year, you will want to spend more per- sonal time alone, perhaps pursuing a hobby. Your dream life becomes more important. If single, you will get into the process of dat- ing and enjoying it. If you’re attached, the two of you will want to spend more time away from home together. TAURUS under- DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker stands you.

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 You could feel as if other forces are tripping you up. A boss or an older rela- tive could be difficult. Your mind keeps slip- ping out to a daydream. Caring surrounds you. For those who are available, a potential meeting or encounter becomes possible. To- night: Treat a friend to dinner. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) SCARY GARY Mark Buford HHHHH Even if someone tried to rain on your parade, you would bypass the ex- perience, barely recognizing what had hap- pened. Your desirability seems to be high, as many an admirer gazes on you. Be willing to deal with a contentious person at a dis- tance. Tonight: Just ask. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You sense much more might be go- ing on with something that has an impact on you. A boss or older relative might want to keep some situation hush-hush. You sense Crosswords that some subtle event or secret lies out there that might affect you. Tonight: Go with a loved one’s wishes. DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Zero in on what a friend desires. You could be out of sorts proceeding as you have been. You might not want to head in a certain direction that a friend or loved one wants to. Go along for the ride. You might enjoy what occurs. Tonight: Where a party could be happening. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Accept your place in the limelight. You could feel frayed and pushed to the max. You would be well-advised to follow through on an invitation that might be low- key but enjoyable. Be kind with a child or loved one who is going through a change. B.C. Mastroianni and Hart Tonight: A must appearance. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Reach out for someone at a dis- tance. You might feel as if you want to see this person soon. You could feel a child or a love interest is more fluid and open for a while. On the other hand, a change involv- ing a child or loved one might be necessary. Tonight: Let creativity flourish. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Do not hem and haw around a dif- ficult situation. You will need to open up talks with a loved one. Key topics could be the budget and the essence of your relation- ship. A new beginning becomes possible. ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie Tonight: Dinner for two. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Defer to others and do a better job of being a little less self-centered. Others, close friends and loved ones look for you. Someone’s emotional rendition might dis- tance you rather than bringing you closer. Tonight: Go with the moment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Pace yourself and get the job done. Your ability to imagine, sleuth through a problem or understand what is happening allows you greater give-and-take. Goodwill comes through in your communications. Revamp your budget if need be. Tonight: ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett Get to the bottom of a problem. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH As serious as you can become, you seem to be in the mood for some lightness and caring. Your ability to bypass a problem or let go of a heavy issue seems to come into play. Express your caring in a different man- ner that could be more meaningful to the other party. Tonight: Go for naughty. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Stay centered despite some ques- tions that might be on your mind. You might not be ready to openly discuss them. Try not Cryptoquip to be reactive to a family member, loved one or roommate. Stay neutral but caring. ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe Tonight: Make a favorite meal. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You will speak your mind. Con- versations seem to surround you. An older person could be quite manipulative. He or she actually wants some extra time from you. Others sense your caring, especially when you see them and they visit you. To- night: Hang with your friends.
