Westfield resident pleads guilty to fraud charge stemming from arson at Enfield, Conn. restaurant NEW HAVEN, Conn – John H. Durham, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, today announced that, on April 16, 2017, Mustafa Zabana, 32, a citizen of Iraq last residing in Westfield, Mass., pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Janet Bond Arterton in New Haven to a fraud offense related to an arson at his Connecticut restaurant. According to court documents and statements made in court, Zabana was the majority owner of Zabana, Inc., doing business as Bruno’s Pizza, a restaurant located at 634 Enfield Street in Enfield, Connecticut. On June 3, 2016, at approximately 10:42 p.m., Zabana intentionally set a fire in Bruno’s Pizza, causing damage to the restaurant and its contents, as well as other commercial space in the mall where the restaurant was located. Emergency fire personnel responded to the scene and extinguished the fire. After the fire, Zabana filed an insurance claim with Liberty Mutual Insurance Company. Liberty Mutual sent Zabana an advance check of $5,000 for claimed loss. Zabana then continued to pursue additional payments from Liberty Mutual through at least December 2016. Karen Leigh and Dale Unsderfer examine a lockbox found at Westfield Earth Day 2017. Zabana pleaded guilty to one count of mail fraud, an offense that carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years. Judge Arterton scheduled sentencing for June 29, 2018.

When it comes to 21st century multimedia Hyper • Local platforms, “hyper local” is a term you hear a lot. 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. But, day in and day out, The Westfield News provides consistant coverage of the stories you need to know about, that are important to your city, town, neighborhood and home.

Earth Day Continued from Page 1 sites may be added. Leigh said volunteer Rick Epstein has been the clean-up crew leader at Hampton Ponds since the first year of Westfield Earth Day. One enthusiastic volunteer on Saturday will be Rep. John C. Velis. “I love this day. I love getting dirty for a good cause,” Velis said. He said the other day he was on a social media forum where photos of garbage strewn around a neighborhood had engendered a lot of comments. He said he hopes that people will get involved in the Westfield Earth Day cleanup, or orga- nize their own groups, and do something about it. “This is our community. This is our city. Let’s get out there and make the change we want to see,” Velis added. Leigh said she’s reached out to the schools, and is hoping to have a good contingent of kids show up. She said before coming to Westfield, she was in charge of an annual clean-up day in West Springfield. The first year she did it, a group of half a dozen girl scouts showed up, who sang as they cleaned up. “It’s not so much to get them cleaning up, but to recognize that they can make a difference,” Leigh said. The same day, the Westfield River Watershed Association will also be con- ducting their annual spring river clean- up, meeting at the Great River Bridge at 9 a.m. If people are unable to participate this Saturday, Leigh said she and Mayor Brian P. Sullivan are encouraging people to do a clean-up on their own. “This is all of our trash; it doesn’t belong to any one person. This benefits everyone,” Leigh said.

SOFTBALL Overwhelming effort Southwick 26, Granby 5 Southwick battered Granby with a hard-hitting effort. McKenna Leary (3-for-4) doubled and homered for Southwick, Rams’ Grace Ingeldue was perfect at the plate with two hits and two walks, and Nikki Willey collected three hits. Southwick pitchers Sarah Hough, an eighth grader, and Jillian Gentile worked together to get the team a victory. “We have a deep team that gives you different ways to win each night,” Southwick coach Joe Hough said. Bombers stomp Braves Westfield 13, Taconic 1 (5 inn.) Westfield piled up 13 hits in a game shortened due to a mercy rule. Carina Franco (3-for-3, double, 3 runs), Lindsey Kiltonic (2-for-3, double, RBI), and Morgan Zabielski (2-for-3, walk, run, RBI) led the Westfield offense. Zabielski, the team’s catcher, also made some outstanding blocks behind the plate. Moniz was strong on the mound, allowing just four hits. She struck out nine, and needs just four more to reach the 300 mark. Westfield next hosts East Longmeadow Monday at 4 p.m. Haley Moniz (25) puts power in her pitch. (Photo by Lynn F.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, April 19, 2018: This year you experience many quick changes. The message to you is: “Simplify your life.” You often don’t seem to have enough time to cover all your bases. Your efficiency and happiness improve by rid- ding yourself of some of the superficial situations and people in your life. If you are single, you will establish By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker a good relationship in the next few months, if you DUSTIN haven’t already. You are in a positive relationship cycle. If you are attached, your significant other seems to blossom because of your compassion. As a result, the good feelings between you grow. GEMINI always has to put in his or her two cents.

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 Your creativity surges to new heights. You might choose not to share all of what you are experiencing. You will find that many people will want to understand your logic. You will start to look at SCARY GARY Mark Buford situations from a financial perspective. Tonight: Hang out at a new favorite spot. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH The Sun moves into your sign later in the day, and you will notice a difference immediately. You will have a stronger personality, and you’ll know more of what you desire. Asking for what you want suddenly will seem natural. Tonight: Choose a favorite stress-buster. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You have a nagging doubt about the path Crosswords you have chosen to follow. A discussion about long- term goals keeps your mind working overtime. You DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni might want to review a situation more thoroughly. You seem to be able to pull white rabbits out of black hats. Tonight: As you like it. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You might want a timeout from those around you. Everyone gets sick of the status quo every once in a while. Listen to your inner voice, and know full well that what you are hearing is right-on. Postpone a major decision, but do not cancel a meeting. Tonight: Remain neutral. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You could be on top of your day, even if you get a surprise call or visit. Your imagination fol- lows through on important details. Your precision ultimately does make a difference. Emphasize your B.C. Mastroianni and Hart image, and note how you project yourself. Tonight: At a favorite hangout. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH You beam, and others notice. Confusion surrounds your work. You are likely to ask someone you respect for his or her feedback, as you admire how this person handles tension. You recognize the power of experience as well. Tonight: Make it OK to learn from a friend. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You are able to bypass a problem by choosing not to be bothered by it. Make a call to someone who seems to be an expert in dealing with financial matters. You always like the advice that this person gives. Honor a fast change. Tonight: Look ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie beyond the obvious for answers. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH A loved one needs to have a talk with you about some changes. You could be stunned by what is suggested. You might experience a surprise event that could throw your day into chaos. Simplify your life, and everything will work out. Tonight: Understand what is happening. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Others continue to seek you out. Enjoy your popularity. A good-faith gesture will be important. Your ability to get past a misunderstanding counts; use it to learn how to prevent a similar situation from happening in the future. Tonight: Let others make the choice. ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could be looking to make a change, but you might not know which way to go. Trust yourself to come up with the right ideas, even if it doesn’t happen today. Fortunately you have the gift of patience, and can wait it out until you are ready. Tonight: Let your playfulness speak. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Your upbeat attitude provides many light moments. A new friend might find you quite endearing. Use the moment to allow more give-and- Cryptoquip take between each other. Share your visions of the future with a partner or loved one. Tonight: Allow your inner child to emerge. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe HHH You might be the source of some confusion. You could be unsure about how to straighten out the situation. Listen to some feedback from a family member who understands you well. A kind gesture can eliminate a problem. Tonight: Hang out with a friend, and catch up on news.
