Bednarz had spoken on a cellphone with a woman whom Chase described as Bednarz's girlfriend. Chase then spoke with the woman, whom he described as a friend, and he made "comments which caused Bednarz to react," according to the statement. (AP) MASSACHUSETTS Ifl seaman is rescued by helicopter A crewman who became ill while on a 520-foot motor vessel was airlifted by a Coast Guard helicopter yesterday about 75 miles east of Province-town. The AV Kastner, a bulk carrier on its way to New York City radioed that the man was in severe abdominal distress. The helicopter transported the unidentified 53-year-old to Hyannis Airport, and he was taken to Cape Cod Hospital by ambulance.

The man's condition was not known last night.

Remains removed from cave 41 years later; Forty-one years after rescuers couldn't get his body out of the treacher-ous cave where he died, the remains of James Mitchell were removed 4. yesterday. The 23-year-old chemist from Winthrop, Mass, died of expo- v. sure on Feb. 13, 1965, when he became stuck.

Christian Lyon, 36, a coming weekend, he said. Peter of Marblehead raised a related concern after finding out State Street commuters are being asked to use the nearby Aquarium station during the closure. "I got off there this morning, and the escalator and the elevator from the ticket level to the street are both out of order," he wrote. "The escalator is in pieces and being worked on. As you know Aquarium is a long way below ground.

Can you find out if they are planning to have these back in service by next week or suggest they either postpone the work or suggest everyone use Government Center instead?" We did. The elevator was back in service on Friday. But the escalator, oh that escalator, will be out the week, said Pesaturo, who apologized for the inconvenience. Aquarium's escalator and elevator between the platform and mezzanine are operational, he said. But around the State Street entrance to Aquarium, where the escalator is on the fritz, expect some messy stair climbs.

"By afternoon these trains are literally hell on wheels," wrote Carol of Ipswich, who switched to the Haverhill line in the middle of last week and found more of the same.

"It is early in the summer, and if the heat continues, some pregnant woman or senior citizen is going to collapse," she wrote. "Has the made any mention of resolving this dangerous situation?" We received complaints about hot cars from riders on the Framingham-Worcester line as well. The Massachusetts Bay Commuter Railroad, which contracts with the to run its commuter lines, received 45 complaints last week, not a lot considering the 77,000 daily passenger trips on commuter rail north, south, and west of the city. But, still. Historically, there's no easy answer when it comes to this very basic question of comfort and commuting, which pops up annually and like parking on Storrow Drive for Hatch Shell events or the nonworking street lights on In-terstate-93 north seems unre-solvable.

The current problem is the average age of the commuter rail fleet (17 years) and the number of coaches out of service, which as of Friday was a whopping 66, or 1 6 percent of the 410 commuter rail coaches in the system. The requires 333 coaches to meet peak service systemwide. Twenty-three of the out-of-service coaches are in repair for faulty air conditioning, according to Scott Farmalant, spokesman for the Massachusetts Bay Commuter Railroad. The high out-of-service rate has resulted in not just hot cars, but crowding. Riders on the Lowell line have recently complained about the use of four-car trains when there should be at least six cars.

And to top it off, maintenance workers at the Boston Engine Terminal in Somerville, where commuter rail cars are stored and maintained, are said to be refusing weekend work because of a recent cut to overtime for some union members. We're told they were working this weekend, and next. In the end, there were no easy solutions. Farmalant mentioned the $23.5 million coach rehabilitation program, which will fix 270 coaches. But the turnover is oh, so slow.

The first coach went into the program last September and was finished this month. Farmalant said the pace of repairs should pick up, so that by September, eight coaches will be repaired each month. Thirty-eight of the 66 out-of-service coaches are either getting major overhauls, or are in for routine 180-day inspections and maintenance, said MBTA spokesman Joe Pesaturo. "The MBTA board and the general manager recognize there is an issue," he said, and thus approved the $23 million coach overhaul. The state of State For those unaware, State Street station on the Blue Line closed yesterday and will remain shut until Saturday for installation of automated fare collection.

Blue Line passengers who normally transfer at State Street to the Orange Line must now get a transfer from Aquarium station personnel for free entry at State Street. Blue Line service is available at Aquarium Station at two entrances State Street or Atlantic Avenue. This is the first station that has had to close since AFC installation began. Why? State Street, located under a historic landmark, the Old State House, "presents the AFC project team with some unique issues," MBTA spokesman Joe Pesaturo wrote in an e-mail. Because of the station's configuration, he said, it wasn't feasible to follow the same installation procedures used at other stations, where the turnstile areas have more room.

We thought we knew it all, but apparently we did not. After we published, Charles of Cambridge wrote that he had two books on his shelves that mentioned the sign. It was installed in April 1969 as one of several "experimental components of information systems for people in cars which were installed in Dewey Square and Park Square, two complicated and confusing traffic areas in downtown Boston." A variety of signs were installed directional signs, street signs, and regulatory signs such as "One Way" and "Do Not Enter," which Charles said were novel at the time, because in 1969 the United States had yet to adopt the European system of pictorial signs. The signs were left up indefinitely after the experiment, but with years of change in the street layout of Park and Dewey squares, most are now gone, especially after the Big Dig. "The recommended in-city guidance system is color-coded blue, which distinguishes it from the green highway system but also relates to the existing highway practice of coding local service signs blue," Charles wrote.

The same experiment also included a 33-day demonstration of an unstaffed information center for pedestrians, consisting of "eight brightly colored information kiosks topped by 12-foot translucent plastic balloons" in Park Square.
