L&O Committee reviews changes in Noise Mitigation Program By AMY PORTER Correspondent WESTFIELD- On the agenda at Thursday’s Legislative & Ordinance Committee (L&O) was a report on the Noise Compatibility Program (NCP) from Barnes Airport manager Brian Barnes, originally submitted to the City Council in June. He said the plan will be enacted if a vote to approve and accept a $2.5 million grant to continue the program passes the City Council at its next meeting on August 22, after which it will go to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Barnes said the NCP was prepared by Wyle Acoustic Engineers and highlights the changes made in the Noise Mitigation program that affect the public. “Accurately, you’re not voting per se, we just want input,” Barnes said about the NCP. He said when the Council approved the budget they already approved the program, which has also been approved by the Airport Commission. He said they were bringing it before the committee to share the changes, and to be as transparent as possible. According to city attorney Susan Phillips, who reviewed the report for the City Council, the Airport Commission made several recommendations, which the FAA will be looking for them to implement. She said the city has little authority over the plan. The first new recommendation is not to go forward with testing each individual home for decibel levels. The
FAA guidelines recommend testing 10% of each type of home. For example, if there are ten capes in the affected area, one would be tested. If twenty ranch houses, two would be tested. If 30% of all the homes passed the test, then the city would have to pick up 100% of the cost to soundproof the homes. If 10% of homes tested failed the test, all would be eligible for the program. The pass/fail level is 70 decibels within the home. The footprint of the noise mitigation contour map was also changed. Homes that were previously considered to be in the 70 decibel levels area fell to 65 decibels, not qualifying them for noise mitigation. Barnes said with the $2.5 million in grant money, they are going to offer to buy out 25 people – six new homes, and 19 carryover homes from the old program. The program has already bought out 10 homes. He said because the rules were changed significantly to qualify for sound mitigation, the Airport Commission voted in June to discontinue the sound mitigation program after the buyout, because the remaining homes would not qualify anyway. “If there are homes that were getting soundproofed before, why give it up now?” asked Ward 6 Councilor William Onyski, a member of the L&O Committee. “Because the criteria has changed,” Barnes said.

Trees set to be removed away from intersection By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent SOUTHWICK – The Department of Public Works has been looking to make progress on a certain intersection in town over the last few months. This concern was first reported in The Westfield News on June 9th of this year. Department of Public Works Director Randy Brown has announced that the issue with the intersection of S. Longyard Rd. and Granaudo Circle is set to be addressed. As the Town of Southwick received new funding, starting on July 1, Brown has hired Allied Tree Service out of Westfield to remove two trees that are in the way of that intersection. DPW Director Randy Brown has Allied Tree Service ready to remove the trees at the intersection. (WNG File Photo) DPW Director Randy Brown has Allied Tree Service ready to remove the trees at the intersection. (WNG File Photo) There are two trees in the vicinity of the intersection that
DPW Director Randy Brown has Allied Tree Service ready to remove the trees at the intersection. (WNG File Photo) are cause for concern and are being addressed. Brown described one tree being an Oak Tree that is split in two, while the second tree is across the road and is a smaller pine.
As the removal of these trees has been on the DPW’s radar for some time now, Brown estimates the time it will take for Allied Tree Service to remove the trees would be quick. “That’s probably a full day’s worth of work,” said Brown. For the neighbors that have to deal with that intersection on a regular basis, Brown pointed out what could be bothering neighbors the most about the trees in the way. “It’s really an issue with people pulling out of Granaudo (Circle),” said Brown. While speeding up the hill or down the hill of S. Longyard is another main problem with the intersection, the DPW is currently focused on taking care of the two big trees that have been affecting motorists. The main reason for having the trees being taken down is a rather important one for anyone in town or passing through town. “We (DPW) think it’s a safety issue,” said Brown. “We’re happy to get those trees out of sight.”

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Friday, Aug. 19, the 232nd day of 2016. There are 134 days left in the year.
O
n Aug. 19, 1991, Soviet hard-liners stunned the world by announcing that President Mikhail S. Gorbachev had been removed from power. (The coup attempt collapsed two days later.)
ON THIS DATE:
In 1964, The Beatles opened their first full-fledged U.S. tour as they performed at San Francisco’s Cow Palace. In 1976, President Gerald R. Ford won the Republican presidential nomination at the party’s convention in Kansas City.
In A.D. 14, Caesar Augustus, Rome’s first emperor, died at age 76 after a reign lasting four decades; he was succeeded by his stepson Tiberius.
In 1980, 301 people aboard a Saudi Arabian L-1011 died as the jetliner made a fiery emergency return to the Riyadh airport.
In 1812, the USS Constitution defeated the British frigate HMS Guerriere off Nova Scotia during the War of 1812, earning the nickname “Old Ironsides.”
In 1991, rioting erupted in the Brooklyn, New York, Crown Heights neighborhood after a black 7-year-old, Gavin Cato, was struck and killed by a Jewish driver from the ultra-Orthodox Lubavitch community; three hours later, a gang of blacks fatally stabbed Yankel Rosenbaum, a rabbinical student.
In 1814, during the War of 1812, British forces landed at Benedict, Maryland, with the objective of capturing Washington D.C. In 1918, “Yip! Yip! Yaphank,” a musical revue by Irving Berlin featuring Army recruits from Camp Upton in Yaphank, New York, opened on Broadway. In 1934, a plebiscite in Germany approved the vesting of sole executive power in Adolf Hitler. In 1936, the first of a series of show trials orchestrated by Soviet leader Josef Stalin began in Moscow as 16 defendants faced charges of conspiring against the government (all were convicted and executed). In 1942, during World War II, about 6,000 Canadian and British soldiers launched a disastrous raid against the Germans at Dieppe, France, suffering more than 50-percent casualties. In 1955, torrential rains caused by Hurricane Diane resulted in severe flooding in the northeastern U.S., claiming some 200 lives.
TEN YEARS AGO:
Israeli commandos raided a Hezbollah stronghold deep in Lebanon. (Israel said the raid was launched to stop arms smuggling from Iran and Syria to the militant Shiite fighters; Lebanon called the operation a “flagrant violation” of a U.N. truce.)
FIVE YEARS AGO:
Three men — Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jesse Misskelley — who’d spent nearly two decades in prison for the nightmarish slayings of three Cub Scouts in Arkansas, went free after they agreed to a legal maneuver allowing them to maintain their innocence while acknowledging prosecutors had enough evidence against them. Danell Leyva beat two-time defending champion Jonathan Horton for his first title at the U.S. gymnastics championships in St. Paul, Minnesota.
ONE YEAR AGO:
Longtime Subway pitchman Jared Fogle agreed in federal court in Indianapolis to plead guilty to allegations that
he’d paid for sex acts with minors and received child pornography. (Fogle pleaded guilty in Nov. 2015 to one count each of distributing and receiving child porn and traveling to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a child, and was sentenced to more than 15 years in prison.) Islamic State militants beheaded 81-year-old Khaled al-Asaad, a leading Syrian antiquities scholar who’d spent most of his life looking after the ancient ruins of Palmyra.

Sharps Disposal and Containers available at Fire Department SOUTHWICK — The Southwick Fire Department is transitioning the Southwick Board of Health collection of Sharps and distribution of sharps containers to the Fire Station location. Southwick residents may deposit their used items and in turn receive a new sharps container for future disposal. Sharps are a term for medical devices with sharp points or edges that can puncture or cut the skin. Such medical devices include hypodermic needles and syringes used to administer medication; lancets or fingerstick devices to collect blood for testing; needle and tubing systems for infusing intravenous and subcutaneous medicines; and connection needles used for home hemodialysis With more diseases and conditions such as diabetes, cancer, allergies, arthritis and HIV being managed outside of hospitals and doctors’ offices, the number of sharps used in homes and work offices is increasing. In addition, pets are being treated in homes and livestock are being treated on farms, which are also contributing to the increased number of sharps outside of veterinary hospitals. After being used, many sharps end up in home refuse and public trash cans and public streets. This kind of improper disposal puts people, such as sanitation workers, sewage treatment workers, janitors, housekeepers, family members and children at risk for needle stick injuries or infection with viruses such as Hepatitis B and C and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The Fire Department and Board of Health recognize that keeping used sharps from ending up in places where they could harm people is a public health priority. In conjunction with the Police departments drug disposal program the public safety campus will become a convenient location to dispose of medical items. Southwick residents may bring sharps to the fire station located at 15 depot street between the hours of 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM Monday through Friday. You will be able to exchange your used container for a new one at no charge. For questions about the program contact the Fire Department at 413 569 6363 Or chiefanderson@southwickfire.net
Feds: Ex-gang ‘enforcer’ sentenced to 18 months BOSTON (AP) — A man identified by federal prosecutors as the former "enforcer" for the Massachusetts Latin Kings street gang has been sentenced to 18 months in prison. The U.S. Attorney's office says 38-year-old Bienvenido Nunez was sentenced Thursday for distributing cocaine and illegally possessing a firearm. He pleaded guilty to the charges in May. Nunez was among a dozen alleged Latin Kings members who were arrested last November, the result of an effort by law enforcement to "disrupt and dismantle" the gang. Prosecutors said members were involved in narcotics distribution and that disputes with rival gangs often led to serious violent crimes. Earlier this month, the former reputed head of the Springfield Latin Kings, Jose "King Black" Cartagena, was sentenced to 20 months in prison for heroin distribution.

Westfield Bank Sunday Night Concert Series at Stanley Park Presents Kenny Labelle / The Diamond Collection Kenny LaBelle and the talented musicians of the Diamond Collection, a Neil Diamond tribute band, was originally scheduled to make an appearance on June 5th at Stanley Park. The show was cancelled due to inclement weather. By popular demand, the music of Neil Diamond comes alive on August 21st!

This year’s performance at Stanley Park, Kenny LaBelle and The Diamond Collection will be accompanied by King Errisson, Neil Diamond’s conga player. King Errisson, aka The King of Congas, began touring with Neil Diamond’s band in the early seventies. He is a very talented percussionist and has worked with artists such as Diana Ross, Herb Alpert, Ringo Starr and many more. King Errisson also made a cameo appearance in a James Bond movie many years ago. The show is from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. at the Beveridge Pavilion and it is free of charge. Chairs will be provided and a food service will be available.

WESTFIELD — Nichole Nietsche, Head of St. Mary’s Parish School, announces that STM High School will be welcoming the largest class of incoming Freshmen in nearly a decade. An expected 40 new students will grace the halls as members of St. Mary’s Class of 2020. Nietsche says, “Families are impressed with our emphasis on morals, values and religion. They recognize the impressive learning standards and accountability afforded to a student receiving an education at our school. There are few schools in the area that can boast a 100% graduation rate with 98% going on to college. Our school accomplishes both.” While the student population is increasing, the school has hired additional faculty to remain steadfast in its promise to have a 12:1 student/teacher ratio. Unlike other Parochial Schools in the region, St. Mary’s is a Parish school, which is directed under its own Administration and School Board. Nietsche emphasized, “Every student is cared about and belongs. It is our goal to give them the tools that they need to be successful. It is our hope that every graduate will leave St. Mary’s richer in terms of faith, education, and friendship. We guarantee that they will be ready for the future.” For parents who are considering a St. Mary’s education for their child, it is not too late to make a decision. The school is interviewing students for all four grades. Appointments can be made by calling Mrs. Kimberlee Jaszek, Director of Admissions, at (413) 568-5692.

As a lifetime educator in the City of Westfield, I am very disappointed in the unnecessary, over-the-top behavior of the 2 fairly new, fire department personnel that are currently visiting our schools. There is not a person alive who does respect firefighters and the work they do. Deservedly so, they are highly respected, vital members of every community and it is important for all of us to acknowledge and thank them. However, just because they work for the fire department does not mean that their actions and behaviors should not be made public and questioned. As do all communities, the Fire Department sends people around to visit every school in the City at the end of summer, and they give feedback to the principals on how to stay safe. Yes, this is great and very important. However, these 2 new people want to make a big impression on others and obviously do not know the meaning of reasonableness. Beware of classrooms looking inviting for children – they deem almost EVERYTHING to be a fire hazard, and they told the principals to remove every such item. A small, smiling face on a door was ripped down in their walkthrough because it’s a fire hazard. A star with your child’s name on it – fire hazard. A teacher made beautiful letters of her name to welcome her students on the first day, well those won’t stay up for long. She was told to take them down because they’re a fire hazard. The list goes on and on. 3 pillows in a classroom so children can snuggle up in a corner and read a book – fire hazard. A couch in the teacher’s room which I for one have used many times in my long career because I wasn’t feeling 100% but I didn’t want to take a sick day – fire hazard, etc…. It’s sad that some professions are above reproach. We should all be questioned on our actions, including the lifesaving work of firefighters. We’re just asking them to be reasonable and let us educators make schools inviting and warm places for young minds to learn and grow. If you have ever seen a minimalist, bare classroom, especially on the elementary level, it is not the type of environment you would want your own children in. Do you think it’s possible to keep them safe and have a stimulating and nurturing environment to learn in? I think so! Oh, yes, and they even wanted to have a fire drill 30 minutes after school opened on the first day of school. If you have ever been in an elementary school on the first day, you would understand the lunacy of this. Many of children are still figuring out where they should be going, parents haven’t left yet from walking them to their classrooms, and the teachers are just taking attendance 30 minutes after the bell rang. Well, I guess my school is lucky, they begrudgingly agreed to having the fire drill 60 minutes after the bell rang. Those poor first graders, be prepared! Sometimes in life it can be hard with new people on the job and you just miss the more experienced and wise professional. To the editor (to publish): To whomever took it upon themselves to break into my home & rob me. This doesn’t make you a hero—it makes you scum. The police say you are someone I know & you know the house. I’m an elder & disabled veteran. The things you decided to steal are not for the most part replaceable. (Family things.) So you can run but you can’t hide forever—what goes around comes around, and that can’t been soon enough for me. I believe I know who you are and once I have proof the police will come and find you—every thief makes mistakes.

Trump advisers waged covert influence campaign By JEFF HORWITZ CHAD DAY Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — A firm run by Donald Trump's campaign chairman directly orchestrated a covert Washington lobbying operation on behalf of Ukraine's then-ruling political party, attempting to sway American public opinion in favor of the country's pro-Russian government, emails obtained by The Associated Press show. Paul Manafort and his deputy, Rick Gates, never disclosed their work as foreign agents as required under federal law. The lobbying included attempts to gain positive press coverage of Ukrainian officials in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Associated Press. Another goal: undercutting American public sympathy for the imprisoned rival of Ukraine's thenpresident. At the time, European and American leaders were pressuring Ukraine to free her. Gates personally directed the work of two prominent Washington lobbying firms in the matter, the emails show. He worked for Manafort's political consulting firm at the time. Manafort's and Gates' activities carry outsized importance, since they have steered Trump's campaign since April. The pair also played a formative role building out Trump's campaign operation after pushing out an early rival. Trump shook up his campaign's organization again this week, but Manafort and Gates retain their titles and much of their influence. The new disclosures about their work come as Trump faces criticism for his friendly overtures to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump said Thursday night that, if elected, he will ask senior officials in his administration not to accept speaking fees, for five years after leaving office, from corporations that lobby "or from any entity tied to a foreign government." He said it was among his efforts to "restore honor to government." Manafort and Gates have previously said they were not doing work that required them to register as foreign agents. Neither commented when reached by the AP on Thursday. The emails show Gates personally directed two Washington lobbying firms, Mercury LLC and the Podesta Group Inc., between 2012 and 2014 to set up meetings between a top Ukrainian official and senators and congressmen on influential committees involving Ukrainian interests. Gates noted in the emails that the official, Ukraine's foreign minister, did not want to use his own embassy in the United States to help coordinate the visits. Gates also directed the firms to gather information in the U.S. on a rival lobbying operation, including a review of its public lobbying disclosures, to determine who was behind that effort, the emails show. And Gates directed efforts to undercut sympathy for Yulia Tymoshenko, an imprisoned rival of then-President Viktor Yanukovych. The Ukrainian leader eventually fled the country in February 2014 during a popular revolt prompted in part by his government's crackdown on protesters and close ties

to Russia. The emails do not describe details about the role of Manafort, who was Gates' boss at the firm, DMP International LLC. Current and former employees at Mercury and the Podesta Group, some of whom spoke on condition of anonymity because they are subject to non-disclosure agreements, told the AP that Manafort oversaw the lobbying efforts and spoke by phone about them. Gates was directing actions and seeking information during the project using an email address at DMP International, which he still uses. Ukraine's anti-corruption body, meantime, has released entries from once-secret accounting documents that purport to show payments from the proRussian political party earmarked for Manafort. The documents now released show Manafort's name listed as a recipient of funds totaling $12.7 million in 22 lineitem entries. Ukraine's National AntiCorruption Bureau said, however, that it cannot prove that Manafort actually received the money because other people including a prominent Party of the Regions deputy signed for him in those entries. Manafort did not return phone and email messages Thursday from the AP to discuss the project. After the AP reported earlier this week that Manafort helped the Ukrainian political party secretly route at least $2.2 million to the two Washington lobbying firms, Manafort told Yahoo News that the AP's account was wrong. "I was not involved in any payment plans," Manafort said. Gates said Thursday he was busy with Trump campaign focus groups and promised to review the AP's questions in writing, then did not respond. Manafort also said in a statement earlier this week that he never performed work for the governments of Ukraine or Russia. Gates previously told the AP, "At no time did our firm or members provide any direct lobbying support." Under the U.S. Foreign Agents Registration Act, people who lobby on behalf of foreign political leaders or political parties must provide detailed reports about their actions to the Justice Department. A violation is a felony and can result in up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. The emails illustrate how Gates worked with Mercury and the Podesta
Group on behalf of Ukrainian political leaders. None of the firms, nor Manafort or Gates, disclosed their work to the Justice Department counterespionage division responsible for tracking the lobbying of foreign governments. "There is no question that Gates and Manafort should have registered along with the lobbying firms," said Joseph Sandler of Sandler Reiff Lamb Rosenstein & Birkenstock, a Democratic-leaning Washington law firm that advises Republican and Democratic lobbyists. Manafort and Gates have said that they did not disclose their activities to the Justice Department because they did not oversee lobbying efforts and merely introduced the Washington firms to a Brussels-based nonprofit, the European Center for a Modern Ukraine, which they said ran the project. The center paid Mercury and the Podesta Group a combined $2.2 million over roughly two years. The emails appear to contradict the assertion that the nonprofit's lobbying campaign operated independently from Manafort's firm. In papers filed in the U.S. Senate, Mercury and the Podesta Group listed the European nonprofit as an independent, nonpolitical client. The firms said the center stated in writing that it was not aligned with any foreign political entity. The 1938 U.S. foreign agents law is intended to track efforts of foreign government's unofficial operatives in the United States. Political consultants are generally leery of registering under it, because their reputations can suffer once they are on record as accepting money to advocate the interests of foreign governments — especially if those interests conflict with America's. Moreover, registering under the law would have required Gates, Manafort or the lobbying firms to disclose the specifics of their lobbying work and their efforts to sway public opinion through media outreach. Ina Kirsch, who runs the European nonprofit, has said the group's work was independent and its goal was to bring Ukraine into the fold of Europe. The center has declined for years to reveal specific sources of its funding. Gates confirmed to the AP previously that he was working for Ukraine's ruling party, the Party of Regions, at the time. The chairman of the Podesta Group, Tony Podesta — the brother of Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta — said his firm believed Gates was working for the nonprofit. Podesta said he was unaware of the firm's work for the Ukraine's Party of Regions, led by Yanukovych. On Thursday, his firm said it had nothing new to add. Mercury's founder, Vin Weber, an influential Republican and former congressman, told the AP that his firm was aware of Manafort's and Gates' affiliation with Ukraine's political party and said Gates never participated in Mercury's lobbying work. Weber did not respond to questions after the AP said it had obtained emails contradicting this.

Wynn Resorts: $2.1 billion Everett casino will open in 2019 BOSTON (AP) — Wynn Resorts executives have informed the Massachusetts Gaming Commission that the group plans to open the Wynn Boston Harbor casino in June 2019. The Boston Globe reports construction on the $2.1 billion casino began earlier this month in Everett after the project obtained a waterfront development permit from the state Department of Environmental Protection. The permit was awarded following an unsuccessfully appeal by the city of Somerville, which argued that the casino would worsen traffic and harm air quality. Somerville Mayor Joseph Curtatone says officials are considering filing a separate appeal in Superior Court. Robert DeSalvio, president of Wynn Boston Harbor, says the company expects to have 250 workers on the project by the end of 2016.

Governor urges conservation as drought conditions worsen NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. (AP) — Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker urged residents on Thursday to step up water conservation efforts after five months of abnormally dry conditions. In its latest weekly map of the Northeast region, the U.S. Drought Monitor expanded the area now considered to be in extreme drought to include Boston and much of northeastern Massachusetts, as well as a portion of southern New Hampshire. During a visit to Smolak Farms in North Andover, Baker asked the public to limit their use of water as much as possible for the foreseeable future. "By minimizing water use, especially while outside, we will collectively take crucial steps necessary to enable ground water and reservoirs to rebound quicker as we work together to manage and reduce the effects of a statewide drought," the Republican governor said. Many cities and towns in Massachusetts already have issued mandatory restrictions on outdoor lawn watering and other activities. Indoor water conservation steps could include taking shorter showers, washing only full loads of laundry or dishes, and turning off the tap while brushing teeth. Secretary of Public Safety Daniel Bennett said Massachusetts had not yet reached the point where demand for water exceeds the available supply. But he said the state was developing plans to provide bottled water or tankers of potable water to hard-hit municipalities if needed going forward.

Tiny mosaic tiles are a big trend By KIM COOK Associated Press Blending art, architecture and design, mosaic tile is one of the oldest forms of wall and floor covering. Using the tiny squares known as tesserae, Ancient Greeks and Romans created detailed stories and intricate geometric patterns, and mosaic art embellishes ceilings, walls and floors from Byzantium to Barcelona. Today, artists teach and share their tile-working skills at places like the Chicago Mosaic School and the Institute of Mosaic Art in Berkeley, California. And mosaic's creative possibilities are popular among interior designers, too. At Coverings, an industry show in Chicago this spring, tilemakers' booths were mini art galleries. Designer Alena Capra, for instance, created a peacock feather out of dozens of Ceramics of Italy mosaic tiles to showcase the range of colors and creative possibilities. (www.alenacapradesigns.com ) "Mosaic tile lets you create amazing murals of just about anything. I've always loved doing mosaic murals, because they allow for the most creativity with tile," says Capra, of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Murals and feature walls done in mosaic tile can bring a "wow" factor into a space; on a smaller scale, they can add design flair to backsplashes or bathrooms. Because there isn't a lot of acreage to cover there, you can have some fun with colors and patterns, and perhaps splurge a little. Modern manufacturing techniques mean the range of mosaics is greater than ever. A new type of durable material even lets today's designers put glass mosaics on the floor.

Sara Baldwin, founder of the Virginia-based design studio and manufacturer New Ravenna, notes that mosaics have inherent texture in the way they're hand-crafted, cut and assembled. "We've now focused on this, combining different materials in one mosaic," she says. "So you can find stone, glass, shell,
gold, ceramic and even aluminum together, creating a dynamic textured surface." Glass or stone cut into intriguing shapes can help walls and floors tell a little story. Flock, part of New Ravenna's Altimetry collection, places delicate glass "wings" against a creamy Calacatta marble background. Francois Grand, part of the Illusions line, stacks glass and marble shapes into a witty and slightly startling trompe l'oeil, 3-D design.

US home construction climbed to a 6-month high By JOSH BOAK AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — Apartment construction in the Northeast fueled a jump in home building in July as the pace of housing starts nationwide reached the strongest pace in six months. The rate of overall construction rose 2.1 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual
rate of 1.21 million from 1.19 million in June, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. That was the highest level since February. Most of the gain came from an 8.3 percent acceleration in the construction of multi-family buildings. Construction of single-family houses edged up just 0.3 percent. “Continued recovery in
housing will be supported by historically low mortgage rates, coupled with a firming labor market that has begun to spur on wage gains for workers,” said Neil Shankar, an economist at TD Bank. Construction climbed 15.3 percent in the Northeast. The Midwest and South reported smaller gains, while starts slipped in the West.

Still, future gains may be limited because current housing starts are outpacing permits to build in the future. Authorized permits slipped 0.1 percent in July to an annual rate of 1.15 million. Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, expects permits to increase in response to the gains in housing starts. “The gap between the sales and permits numbers is not unprecedented, but it is wide, and we have to expect permits to rebound strongly in the near future,” Shepherdson said. For now, more Americans are upgrading to newly built single-family houses. Ground breakings for houses have shot up 10.6 percent year-todate, while starts for apartment buildings have dipped after a torrid pace in recent years to accommodate an increase in renters. Housing starts remain below their recent 25-year average of roughly 1.3 million, even after having rebounded from the depths of the housing crash that triggered the Great Recession See US Homes, Page 7

Preparation and planning make for a successful meadow By LEE REICH Associated Press Weeks of lawn mowing can make a backyard meadow — a carefree carpet of flowers and grasses — seem like an especially appealing alternative. Even small yards can accommodate a patch of meadow. Although a mature meadow requires little maintenance, thorough preparation and planning is needed to establish it. Don't let "meadow in a can" or some other promise of an instant meadow fool you into believing that just sprinkling seeds or rolling out a seeded, biodegradable carpet will result in a carefree riot of season-long color. You need to plan because meadow plants are not set out in neat, easily weeded rows. That would ruin a meadow's random charm. The goal, therefore, is to create conditions as weed-free as possible before setting out plants or sowing seeds.
SITE PREPARATION Scale is your first consideration; a small site raises different practical issues than a large one does. For a small meadow, mow the existing vegetation; smother it beneath four or more layers of overlapping, wetted paper (such as newspaper); and then blanket the paper with some weed-free organic material to hold it down. Suitable materials for covering the paper include compost, marsh hay, sawdust and straw. Wood chips are also suitable, and are widely available and often free. You can set wildflower and grass transplants right into wood chips that are not too coarse. (Meadows do need a certain amount of grasses, bunch grasses, for soil stabilization.) If the chips were sitting around wet and are already on their way to decomposition, all the better. For planting seeds rather than transplants, cover the paper with compost. A large meadow presents more ground than can be feasibly covered with paper and mulch. Successful planting is a combination of art and science, so it may be wise to plant a part of it each year, learning as you go. At any rate, begin by mowing — to literally even out the playing field. Once mowed, the vegetation needs to be killed, and herbicide or tillage is the most practical way to do this on a large scale. The herbicide Roundup kills any plant it touches, but has known and unknown environmental and health hazards. Less effective but more benign "organic" alternatives exist, such as repeated sprays with household-strength vinegar to which a little dish detergent and oil has been added, or commercial products containing citrus oil, clove oil or special formulations of soaps.
In this undated photo taken in New Paltz, N.Y., a path is shown mown through this meadow of goldenrod, asters and other flowering plants, inviting a stroll through this backyard meadow. (Lee Reich via AP) Tillage presents a more bucolic scene for ground preparation than herbicide spraying. A few passes with a rototiller are needed to thoroughly break up and kill plants. Tillage should be shallow to minimize the amount of soil — and weed seeds — brought to the surface, and to minimize the destruction of soil structure and organic matter. To fight off weeds and to protect the surface from wind and water erosion, sow a "cover crop" such as rye or buckwheat or, even better, successive cover crops. After a season of cover crops, the meadow is ready for planting.
PLANTING Timing is critical to get meadow plants off to a good start ahead of weeds. Generally, the best time for planting is autumn or spring, when soils are most consistently moist. Timing for natural rainfall is not as critical for smaller areas that can be hand-watered.
US Homes
Fine-tune your planting further according to the kinds of plants you're growing. Transplants must take firm hold of the soil before winter settles in, so set them in the ground in either early spring or late summer. If you're planting seeds, sow them in late fall, after temperatures have turned too cold for germination, or wait until spring. The optimum time to plant seeds that sprout only in warm weather — these include some grasses and annual flowers such as cape daisy, annual phlox and prairie aster — is late spring. Distribute these seeds evenly, first mixing them with sand and then dividing the mix into two equal batches that you sow separately, the second batch spread in a direction perpendicular to the first. If everything goes as planned, the soil is laid bare for a minimum amount of time, seeds sprout and transplants take hold quickly, and you're soon enjoying your meadow with only a minimum of spot weeding.

nearly nine years ago. Mortgage rates at historic lows and a strong job market have bolstered real estate this year. Sales of new homes are at their strongest pace since early 2008. And existing homes are selling at their
best rate since early 2007 as more buyers are finalizing deals despite the lack of available homes for sale. Homebuilders appear optimistic that sales will continue to rise. The National Association of Home Builders/Wells
Fargo builder sentiment index released last week rose two points to 60 following a downwardly revised reading of 58 in July. Readings above 50 indicate more builders view sales conditions as good rather than poor.

This annual gathering celebrates the church’s integral place in the South Worthington National Historic District, as well as the life of Dr. Russell H. Conwell, Worthington native son, teacher, preacher, and philanthropist. Dr. Priscilla Conwell Deck, a great-granddaughter of Russell Conwell, will return as guest speaker. She fondly recalls attending Conwell Sunday throughout her childhood. Priscilla is a graduate of Harvard Divinity School and former faculty at Andover Newton Theological School. (Dr. Russell Conwell graduated from Newton Seminary before it combined with Andover.) In addition to The Academy across from the church (present-day concert hall for Sevenars Music Festival), Russell Conwell also established the Conwell Theological Seminary (now Gordon College, Wenham, MA), as well as Temple University and its affiliate, Samaritan Hospital, and the renowned Baptist Temple, all in Philadelphia. This grand, old former church is a serene place where one can absorb the beauty and history of the area. The program will conclude with refreshments for all on the veranda of the church.

Squid 4/27/65 - 8/19/14 The Day God Took You Home
A million times I’ve needed you A million times I’ve cried, If love alone Could have saved you you never would have died. In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place, No one else can ever fill. It broke my heart to lose you, But you didn’t go alone Part of me went with you, The day God took you home.

Noise Mitigation
Continued from Page 1
Wyle Engineers construction manager Melvin Baker said there is a big movement afoot to get the new louder F35 fighter jets to come to Barnes. He said if that happens, they will have to re-enact a new program anyway. Barnes reported that they have already paid $16 million for noise mitigation. He said the city has been reimbursed 95% of the funds, and more in some cases. To date, the city has put in a total of $558,000. “This has always been a program to improve the quality of life of those most affected,” Barnes said. He said it began with a recommendation from the Environmental Protection Agency, then an environmental impact study, and went on from there. “My concern is by taking homes and leveling them, you’re taking them off the tax rolls,” said Ward 2 Councilor Ralph Figy, who chairs L&O. “I love the idea of soundproofing, which keeps them in their homes and on the tax rolls.” Barnes said the ten homes that were already demolished can’t be residences. Figy said the matter should go to a Round Table and have the city decide what to do with the empty lots. Figy then opened the meeting up for comments from the residents in attendance at the meeting. North end resident Carol Shannon said that her home has been in and out of the program for the last ten years. She said when it started they were not eligible for the program, which they didn’t ask for. Shannon, who lives on Cara Lane, said there are only nine houses on her street, and they want to acquire

operated vehicle came across the iridescent cephalopod with giant round eyes. Then the jokes started. “He has weird eyes!” said one enthusiastic observer. “Get close! Get close!” urges another. One suggested it resembled a child’s dropped toy, and another said the creature’s eyes appeared to be painted on. “It looks so fake,” says one member of the Nautilus’ team. The creature looks like a cross between a squid and an octopus but is closely related to a cuttlefish, according to the Nautilus Live website. The find could be more than just bemusing. “In addition to the googly-eyed cuteness, there is one thing biologically interesting about this observation,” said cephalopod expert Michael Vecchione of the Smithsonian Institution. The creature could be a new species, he wrote in an
email to the expedition. It was spotted at nearly 3,000 feet deep, which is unusual, but not unheard of. But, on top of that, the stubby squid didn’t have chromatophores, cells that allow it to change color, as members of its species do, Vecchione said. The question can’t be answered because this particular stubby squid remains deep in the ocean, out of scientists’ reach. The Nautilus team is part of a four-month Ocean Exploration Trust expedition to map underwater fault zones from Canada to California and understand ecosystems around them. The team spends hours scanning the barren ocean-scape, “then to come across something adorable like that — it’s a real treat,” Exploration Vessel Nautilus spokeswoman Susan Poulton said.
three of them. “The program is flawed. Why let it continue,” Shannon said. “You’re butchering our neighborhoods. It’s all chopped up. You’re devaluing homes, devaluing neighborhoods.” Peter Morizio, who owns a home on Dry Bridge Road, said his house has been empty of its tenants for ten months now, waiting for a promised buyout. Jane Verbeck, program manager for Wyle Engineers, said they do an appraisal of a home, and an offer is made to the homeowner. She said they just made two offers, one on North Road which was accepted, and one on Terra Lane which has not yet been accepted. “We like to hear back in 30 days one way or another,” Verbeck said. She added that once the FAA approves the NCP, the money will be disbursed to the homeowners. She also said that Morizio’s home is one that was previously rated to be in the 70 decibel level, and is now at 65, but it previously qualified. She that Morizio has been very patient and “a perfect gentleman.” Verbeck also stressed that the program is voluntary. Ward 1 Councilor Mary Ann Babinski said the program needs clarification. She said the fact that it was not mandated, but something the Airport Commission chose to do was not clearly explained from the beginning. “I have issues with public outreach,” Babinski said. “I thought the FAA mandates at a certain decibel rating.” Verbeck said it is only mandated if a residence is in the runway protection zone (RPZ), and can then be taken by eminent domain. “If an individual wants to pay for their own noise test, they should be allowed to,” said Onyski. Verbeck said the FAA doesn’t disallow that, but they would have to bring it to the FAA. “We won’t be doing noise mitigation for two years anyway, because we have to acquire the homes,” said Baker. “Then we’ll know if the F35s are coming here, and have to redo everything anyway.” L&O member Mary O’Connell made a motion to place the report on file, which passed the Committee.

Tri Valley World Series Champs! Title going back to Cali By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The defending champs are going back to Cali … with another title. Tri Valley (California) rallied past Bismarck (North Dakota) 9-6 in the Babe Ruth Baseball 14-Year-Old World Series championship game Thursday night at Bullens Field for its second straight Babe Ruth title. Several of the current players hail from that 13-year-old championship squad. “You dream about this stuff,” said World Series Most Outstanding Player and tournament batting champion Michael O’Hara, Tri-Valley’s lead-off hitter. “We’ve been on this road before but nothing – no words – can explain what we’re feeling, what it’s like to repeat like we have. O’Hara was involved in one of the championship game’s defining moments when he collided with Bismarck starting pitcher Connor Hanson in a play at the plate late in the game. Hanson, who continued to get stronger throughout the game, was knocked from the game. After that play, Tri Valley rallied. The rest is history. Bismarck proved to a rather strong foe. North Dakota’s squad wasted no time in going after Tri Valley. Skyler Riedenger jumped on top of Tri Valley pitcher Jaden Sheppard’s opening pitch, driving a liner to left field. Darin Nolz hit into a fielder’s choice, advanced to second base on an errant pickoff attempt at first base. Sheppard quickly bounced back though, forcing a ground out, strikeout, and fly out to end the Bismarck threat. Tri Valley lead-off hitter Michael O’Hara beat out a high hopper just beyond the first base bag. After Joey Battilega hit into a fielder’s choice, Bismarck pitcher Connor Hanson walked Jack Grant. Another fielder’s choice left runners at the corners. Golden drew a two-out walk to load the bases, but Hanson forced a ground out to keep the game scoreless. Tri Valley threatened again in the second. With two outs, Max Masajlo and O’Hara hit back-toback singles. Battilega followed with a booming two-run double to left-center field to put Tri Valley out front 2-0. Bismarck got its first runner of the third inning on when No. 9 hitter Mason Leingang beat out an infield hit with no outs. A one-out Nolz sac bunt moved Leingang to second. Cade Feeney singled up the middle to put runners on the corners. Feeney stole second base uncontested. A towering double from Hanson – a little bit of déjà vu – nearly in the

It was Tri Valley’s second title win in two years. (Photos by Marc St. Onge) same exact area as Battilega’s one earlier had Tri Valley seeing red, resulting in two Bismarck runs for a 2-all tie. Tri Valley reclaimed the lead in the bottom of the third. Grant singled. Thomas Gavello reached on a hit-by-pitch. With two outs, Cory Steinhauer drove a hard ground ball through the right side of the infield to take a 3-2 advantage. A Josh Anderson walk loaded the bases. Hanson recovered in time to strike out the next batter to end the inning. Bismarck threatened in the fourth. With one out, Cameron Miller collected a base hit for Bismarck. With two outs, Cody Sorenson singled and Leingang walked. Riedinger delivered a hit through the left side that resulted in a game-tying run. An infield single deep in the hole on the right side that Tri Valley initially appeared to field for the final out at first, resulted in a “safe” call from the officials, two more runs and a 5-3 See World Series Champs!, Page 11

lead. Feeney smacked a single to center field to make it 6-3, running Sheppard from the game. Tri Valley attempted to bounce back in the fourth inning, but ran into the teeth of Bismarck’s defense each time. O’Hara walked to begin the fourth, but Battilega hit into a double play. Grant doubled and Gavello singled, but Bismarck’s shortstop made a diving stop toward the second base bag and flipped to the second baseman for a spectacular – and very close – out. The call drew the ire of Tri Valley’s coaching staff, who vehemently disputed the snap judgment. As the game wore on, Bismarck continued its relentless offensive charge. Bismarck chased Tri Valley pitcher Evan Chevalier with consecutive singles from Welkum and Sorenson. Leingang drew a 2-0 count before Tri Valley pulled Chevalier, who a short time before was drilled on his foot by a line drive. Hanson continued his grueling effort – and even dare say – fifth-inning mastery. The Bismarck pitcher retired the side. Bismarck fed off its starting pitcher’s success, loading the bases in the top of the sixth with singles from Riedinger, Nolz, and Feeney. Tri Valley kept its hopes alive with a 4-6-3 double play. O’Hara and Battilega reached base on one-out singles in the bottom half of the inning to help fuel a Tri Valley rally. They both advanced on a wild pitch. A walk and successful steal of home plate – a brutal collision with the base-runner, O’Hara, forced Hanson from the game – and made it 6-4. “The ball got away from the catcher, and I was coming home,” O’Hara said in describing the play at the plate. “I didn’t think he was going to throw it so I didn’t get down. The pitcher just happened to be there. I would never mean to hurt him.” O’Hara said he became entangled with the catcher, who suffered the brunt of the hit. After Hanson smacked the ground near home plate, he was examined by medical staff and exited the game on a golf cart. If momentum had not immediately changed sides on that defining play, the tide was definitely turning. Gavello smacked an RBI double to left field. Golden hit a game-tying, sac-fly RBI to center field. Sheppard belted a ball to center field for the go-ahead run. Luke Palfalvi tacked on a pair of insurance runs with a line drive to left field. The score was 9-6. Bismarck managed just a lone single from Weikum in the last inning as Battilega retired three of the four batters he faced in the inning to end it. “This is a very special group of boys,” said Tri Valley man-
ager David Grant. “I can’t say enough. Grant, who played six years of Babe Ruth growing up in Southern Maine, said this World Series win was extra special. “To do this in front of fans and family from New England … and win this here in Westfield and be champs is unbelievable,” he said. Notes: O’Hara finished the World Series with a stellar batting average of .609.

Dear Annie
By ANNIE LANE
Keep That Reference Dear Annie: I am a college student in my early 20s. While applying for an internship recently, I contacted a former employer, “Lauren,” to ask whether she would act as a reference on my application. This is a woman I genuinely like and respect, so I was excited when she said that she would be happy to do so and that we should meet to catch up over coffee. The trouble started when she later invited me to a “meeting” instead. I was aware that Lauren had recently become involved with a “multilevel marketing company” (read: pyramid scheme) that sells “safe” and “natural” nutrition and beauty products. Even though this was not something I was interested in, I decided to go to the meeting to see her and see what it was about. Although she was saving several seats, I was the only one of Lauren’s friends to show up. The meeting turned out to be fun and very convincing. I was careful not to commit to anything, but I expressed an interest in researching and trying the products and was invited to a product party. I was even privately considering becoming a consultant if I liked the products, and I suspect that Lauren and her friends could sense that. While driving home, however, I started to feel a little brainwashed. I respect the men and women who can be successful in these businesses, but I am not one of them, and I have never had an interest in trying. I am not against the products and might even like to purchase a few in the future, when I have a steady income and a regular routine. Unfortunately, Lauren seems more interested in recruiting me to the company than in selling me things. It has only happened two or three times, but I am running out of polite ways to deflect or decline. My question is: How do I say no to Lauren without upsetting her so that I will still be able to list her as a reference? Is that even possible? My past experience working for her (and therefore having a reference from her) is an important part of my resume and could make the difference between my getting an internship in my field and my not getting one. What should I do? -- Making Up My Mind Dear Making Up: Timing is everything. I’m not suggesting you cook up a scheme of your own, but it wouldn’t hurt to keep things on open-ended, friendly terms while you’re still asking Lauren to be a reference. Instead of worrying over how to give Lauren a hard “no,” focus on securing a hard “yes” from her on that front. And meanwhile, come up with a plan B. If Lauren flakes on you like bad foundation, have someone else lined up to speak to your professional assets. Dear Annie: I went to a funeral yesterday and sneezed immediately when seated. The woman in front of me was doused in perfume. I moved back a row (no place else to go), but that perfume permeated the entire church. I am sure she is a nice woman and did not realize how offensive she was. It is a fact that people cannot smell themselves, so they do not know if they have bad body odor or are wearing too much perfume. If you actually put on enough perfume that you can smell it yourself, it’s way too much. Deodorants, hair sprays, scented body washes and room deodorizers should be used sparingly. Plus, maybe laundry detergents would be cheaper if they omitted the dyes and perfumes. -- Enough of the Noxious Fumes Dear Enough: You may suffer from multiple chemical sensitivity. The exact science behind the condition is still up for debate, but some people have much stronger reactions to scents than others. Some have found relief by fanning themselves with paper, carrying around orange peels (to mask unfriendly scents) and using meditative breathing techniques. It also wouldn’t hurt to talk to your doctor about possible allergies. I hope you can breathe easy soon. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators. com.

By Jaqueline Bigar
DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Aug. 19, 2016: This year you could get angry, but you won’t stay like that for long. Your vision and ability to transform what isn’t working emerge as strong traits, especially in your daily life. Regular doctor checkups need to be a high priority. If you are single, be as open as possible in order to allow someone in. Someone special is likely to enter your life later in your birthday year. If you are attached, you and your significant other share many of life’s ups and downs, which brings you closer together. Your communication style often clarifies issues and prevents arguments. PISCES loves to be around 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 might have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed. Whether you had an angry dream or a hostile moment early on, your mood could change dramatically. Others will make an adjustment once they are aware of what is happening. Tonight: Keep plans hushhush. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Zero in on a meeting and the potential evolvement of a long-term commitment. Though you have a serious agenda, others might not. You could be disappointed by an obvious lack of interest. At the last minute, you’ll gain people’s attention. Seize the moment. Tonight: Celebrate. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You’ll take the lead in a community commitment or a professional project. Others find you to be inspiring, and often take a leap of faith to follow you. Your sense of humor emerges toward the end of the day. Give people time to express their convictions. Tonight: A must appearance. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your creativity sometimes stems from adversity. You often feel pressured, but this tension results in many ideas. Your willingness to search for unusual solutions opens your mind as well as others’. Tap into your resourcefulness. Tonight: Be kind when dealing with a loved one. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH One-on-one relating is your forte, and today is no different. Instead of rushing through your day, take your time and indulge each person you encounter. This exercise might take an extra hour, but the goodwill you foster is worth much more. Tonight: With a favorite person. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Defer to others, and understand your limits. Your playfulness and how you carry yourself is likely to intrigue a friend or loved one. This person might wonder if there is something up your sleeve. Relish and embrace the attention. Tonight: Put on your dancing shoes. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Get to the bottom of a problem without letting others know your role. Follow through on manifesting a longterm goal. Whether it’s being healthier or learning a new language, know that you can do it. Decide the time is now, and stop making excuses. Tonight: Exercise, then decide. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You could be in a situation that forces your hand and makes it clear that certain habits you have developed can be distracting. Be willing to employ more self-discipline. Laughter marks your mood in any case. You welcome the weekend with a smile. Tonight: And the party begins. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You are more grounded than you have been in a while. Just the same, you might not be up for wildness or a weekend celebration. You could opt for a quiet few days at home. Touch base with a loved one and explain where you are coming from. Tonight: Invite a pal or two over. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Conversations might be a bit overwhelming, as people seem to assume that you know everything about the subject at hand. You will want to call a halt to this type of conversation and encourage others to chime in. Maintain a sense of humor. Tonight: Chat the night away. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You could be more possessive than usual. A friendship seems to be dissolving right in front of you, despite your efforts to keep it together. Take some time to help someone in your life feel more secure, and you will be glad you did. Tonight: Treat a loved one to TGIF. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Crosswords

HHHHH You are all smiles, and you don’t need to explain why. Your fatigue will dissolve as the weekend progresses. A conversation with a boss or higher-up is likely to flow naturally. Face a transformation in the work arena with care but not caution. Tonight: Go with the moment.
Tigers edge Red Sox 4-3, snapping Boston’s 6-game win streak DETROIT (AP) — Second baseman Ian Kinsler caught a line drive by Mookie Betts for the final out with runners on second and third, and the Detroit Tigers held off the Red Sox 4-3 Thursday, snapping Boston's six-game winning streak. Andrew Romine drew a bases-loaded walk to cap a three-run Detroit rally in the eighth. Boston threatened in the ninth against Francisco Rodriguez. Kinsler was well positioned and needed to move only slightly to his right to make the play on Betts' liner. Rodriguez got his 34th save in 37 chances. Justin Wilson (3-4) won in relief. Junichi Tazawa (2-2) failed to retire a batter in the eighth. Sandy Leon homered for Boston. The Red Sox won at Baltimore on Wednesday night, and manager John Farrell said they arrived at their hotel around 4 a.m. Thursday — about nine hours before the first pitch. David Ortiz and Dustin Pedroia were out of the starting lineup. Boston played in its fourth city in five days. The team was home at Fenway Park on Sunday, had a makeup game Monday in Cleveland, then went to a two-game series in Baltimore. The Red Sox scored twice in the eighth to go up 3-1, but the Tigers rallied. Miguel Cabrera's run-scoring single made it 3-2 — and gave him 1,000 RBIs for his Detroit career. Then Brad Ziegler came on and allowed a tying single to Victor Martinez. With two outs and the bases loaded, Ziegler walked Romine to give the Tigers the lead. Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit a sacrifice fly for Detroit in the second, and Leon tied it in the fourth with a solo homer. Hanley Ramirez hit an RBI single for Boston in the eighth, and Betts scored on a wild pitch. TRAINER'S ROOM Red Sox: P Steven Wright (right shoulder) is expected to throw a bullpen session by Saturday. UP NEXT Red Sox: RHP Rick Porcello (16-3) takes the mound against his former team when Boston faces the Tigers again Friday night. Tigers: Rookie Michael Fulmer (10-3) starts for Detroit.
