Westfield Mobil station safe stolen

Fast-moving fire destroys barn, kills livestock Thursday afternoon. (Photos submited)

Fast-moving fire burns down barn, kills calves

By CHRISTINE CHARNOSKY Correspondent WESTFIELD – A fast-moving fire that started around noon Thursday destroyed a barn and killed livestock.

The fire broke out at the Phelon Farm, on 227 Pochassic Road, and the barn was fully engulfed by the time firefighters arrived, said

Westfield Fire Deputy Chief Mark Devine.

The barn was “down before we got here,” said Devine.

Firefighters were still on scene an hour later knocking down hotspots and protecting the perimeter.

“So far, two calves were killed,” Devine said, “and one calf is believed to have gotten out.”

When asked whether he knew what happened, one of the property owners said, “no” and didn’t want to provide further information.

Westfield Fire Deputy Chief Patrick Egloff said he was uncertain of the fire’s cause and called for the State Fire Marshal to help with the investigation.

Westfield Gas & Electric were on scene and cut the wires which had provided electricity to the barn.

Barnes Air Force Base sent a tanker to assist with the fire, according to police records. Firefighters remained on the scene until 4 p.m. Thursday.

Another property owner, an older woman was sitting on the porch was visibly upset, with a cat dutifully staying by her side.

As of Friday morning, investigators have been unable to determine a cause of the blaze, according to Westfield Police Capt. Michael McCabe.

By CHRISTINE CHARNOSKY Correspondent WESTFIELD – Police were alerted at 3:30 a.m.

Thursday morning to a burglary in progress at a Westfield Mobil gas station.

When police arrived at the 162 Southampton Road location, they found a shattered front door.

A safe was stolen and the cash register had been emptied.

The store manager, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the safe contained an undisclosed amount of cash.

A clerk, who also preferred not to be named, said an employee arrived to open the business at 5 a.m. and found four police cars at the service station.

According to police records, officers initially had difficulty locating the keyholder for the alarm company.

The suspect, who was caught on surveillance video, in images obtained by The Westfield News, is described as a white bald male, six feet tall, 250 pounds who was wearing a blue polo shirt, black shorts with a white stripe and white shoes.

The suspect is seen carrying the safe out of back of the store. Police found a sledge hammer and crowbar inside the store, which allegedly the suspect left behind, according to police documents.

School district soothes parents over school warning letter SALEM, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon school district has rushed to soothe parents at a Salem elementary school who received a letter warning that children not picked up promptly might be turned over to the state.

The Salem Statesman Journal reports that a Salem-Keizer School District spokesman confirmed the letter about the upcoming school year was sent recently to Swegle Elementary School parents. However, district spokesman Jay Remy says it was sent in error because the school’s principal had not reviewed it. Remy described the letter as neither accurate nor courteous and said an apology would follow.

The third paragraph begins: “Children must be picked up on time. If they are not picked up on time we will call DHS and you will then have to pick them up at court the next day.” DHS is the Oregon Department of Human Services.

KPTV of Portland reports parents have been sent a phone message apology.

Baker files hydropower bill with state Senate BOSTON (AP) — Hydroelectric power would become a more prominent piece of the state’s energy puzzle under a proposal filed Thursday by Gov. Charlie Baker.

The bill submitted to the state Senate requires Massachusetts utilities to work with the Department of Energy Resources to pursue long-term contracts for bringing hydropower into the state.

The governor called the measure a critical step in reducing greenhouse gas emissions while also helping ratepayers by providing a cost effective alternative to fossil fuels like coal and oil.

“Increasing the flow of hydroelectric power into Massachusetts and New England diversifies our energy portfolio and makes it clear we are ready to collaborate with our neighboring states to secure costeffective, carbon-reducing energy solutions for the region,” Baker said.

The bill would allow Massachusetts to collaborate with New England states including Connecticut and Rhode Island in the procurement of hydropower. The three states announced during a recent regional energy a joint effort to seek power purchase agreements for hydropower or other types of renewable energy.

Baker’s legislation would allow renewable energy sources such as wind power from being included in contracts, provided those resources are supported by hydropower.

The administration said it’s committed to achieving the greenhouse gas reduction targets spelled out under the state’s 2007 Global Warming Solutions Act. The law, signed by former Gov. Deval Patrick, calls for a 25 percent reduction from 1990 emissions levels by 2020.

Passage of Baker’s hydropower bill was expected to achieve 5 percent of the reduction, equivalent to taking 1 million cars off the road, officials said.

Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Matthew Beaton said without the addition of more hydropower, the state will fall short of the goals set in the 2007 law.

He said one benefit of hydropower is it is reliable and consistent.

“With this piece of legislation, we are singularly and narrowly focused on meeting the goals of the Global Warming Solutions Act,” he said. “If we do not get this, we will not get to that 25 percent by 2020.”

Not everyone was thrilled with the proposal.

Greg Cunningham of the Conservation Law Foundation, an environmental advocacy group, said hydropower has its drawbacks.

“Hydropower needs to be a piece of the puzzle, but it must be added in a way that simultaneously protects our rivers and forests and incorporates alternate renewable energy solutions,”

GOV. BAKER Cunningham said in a statement.

Cunningham said the bill needs to guarantee that the tracking of any hydropower power sources “has real teeth and is verifiable, or else we could end up buying Canadian coal-powered electricity during periods of high demand in the Eastern Canadian provinces.”

Beaton said he welcomes comments, but said the administration is focused on moving forward with the proposal.

“We don’t want this to get bogged down,” he said.

“This legislation will provide a crucial opportunity to secure the delivery of additional clean energy resources for the Commonwealth,” said Department of Energy Resources Commissioner Judith Judson. “As the state’s energy office, we are committed to addressing our energy challenges and ensuring the procurement of clean energy resources is fair, transparent and is ultimately a cost-effective energy solution for the ratepayers of Massachusetts.”

Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy, chairman of the Coalition of Northeastern Governors, applauded the move.

“We are happy to partner with our neighbors and coordinate ways to provide cheaper, cleaner and reliable energy for New England residents,” Malloy said in a statement.

Senate considers No Child revision to limit federal role

By JENNIFER C. KERR Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Trying to strike a bipartisan chord, the Senate worked Thursday on a major revision of the 2002 No Child Left Behind law, a day after a Republican-led rewrite just barely passed the House.

The Senate bill would narrow the federal role in the nation's public schools by giving states and local school districts more control over assessing the performance of schools, teachers and students. It keeps the law's requirement for annual math and reading tests but prohibits the federal government from requiring or encouraging specific sets of academic standards, such as Common Core.

As the Senate considered amendments, Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., appealed to his colleagues to work together and not saddle his bipartisan bill with changes that would imperil Democratic support.

The Senate rejected a proposed amendment by Republican Steve Daines of Montana that would have allowed states to opt out of No Child requirements completely but still receive federal money in the form of block grants. It was co-sponsored by nearly a dozen other Senate Republicans, including presidential hopefuls Ted Cruz of Texas and Marco Rubio of Florida.

"This amendment is well-intentioned, unnecessary, won't pass and undermines the bipartisan agreement that we have reached," said Alexander, who spent months negotiating the bill in committee with Democratic Sen. Patty Murray of Washington.

The Senate was expected to continue debating the bill next week.

Thursday's appeal for unity was in sharp contrast to a day earlier when the House cleared a Republican-written bill by a 218-213 vote. Not one Democrat supported it, and 27 Republicans voted against it.

The House bill sponsored by Minnesota Republican Rep. John Kline is more conservative than the Alexander-Murray legislation.

It dramatically lessens the federal role in education policy by transferring more power to the states on accountability for school performance. It also allows federal money to follow low-income children to public schools of their choice — something not in the Senate bill. The White House had threatened to veto the Kline bill.

"House Republicans have chosen to take a bad bill and make it even worse," Education Secretary Arne Duncan said in a statement. "Instead of supporting the schools and educators that need it most, this bill shifts resources away from them."

No Child Left Behind has been up for reauthorization since 2007, but lawmakers haven't been able to agree on an update.

Most Republicans and Democrats agree that it needs to be reworked, but they differ on how to do that.

Since 2012, the Obama administration has granted requests from 42 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia for waivers from some of the law's strictest requirements because it became clear they wouldn't be met.

On Thursday, the Education Department announced that it was renewing waivers for Delaware, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina and Puerto Rico.

How the South Carolina House got to ‘yes’ A former Republican majority leader ends up as the driving force

By BEN SCHRECKINGER Politico.com COLUMBIA, S.C. — On Tuesday afternoon, after the South Carolina House had adjourned until morning, threedozen legislators piled into black SUVs and drove a mile down the road to the South Carolina State Museum to see for themselves the Confederate Relic Room — the final resting place of the Confederate flag should a bill to remove it from the State House become law.

The lawmakers were black and white, Democrats and Republicans, proponents of unconditional removal and those who would have the flag stand until Judgment Day. They had been invited by Rick Quinn, a House lifer, former Republican majority leader and author of a flag bill amendment that would ensure a first-rate display in the relic room if the flag is moved there. Between that moment and the House’s 94-20 vote to send the bill to Gov. Nikki Haley’s desk in the early hours of Thursday morning, the road to removing the flag would run, more than anyone else in South Carolina, through him.

With sandy-blond hair and blue eyes, Quinn, 50, is the picture of a good ol’ boy. He’s the descendant of four Confederate veterans, two killed in action, and a proponent of flag removal.

He’s the son of Lindsey Graham adviser Richard Quinn, who once edited the neo-Confederate Southern Partisan magazine, and he is also an old friend of Clementa Pinckney, the Democratic state senator and minister who was one of nine Charleston black churchgoers slain in June, allegedly, by a white supremacist, an attack that brought the flag issue to a head.

And he’s been here before. In 2000, as House majority leader, he helped broker the compromise that brought the flag down from the State House dome to its current position at a Confederate monument north of the building — and broke down into tears after casting his vote.

But that compromise didn’t avert the flag showdown, it only delayed it. “I knew in 2000, when we resolved it, it wouldn’t go away,” said Quinn.

Now, once again, he was working behind the scenes to reach a final compromise everyone, or almost everyone, can live with after the cameras have left and the legislature returns to the normal business of governing. At the state museum, in caucus meetings, over rum and coke and corn-hole games at a capital watering hole, he pressed his case with legislators on both sides. On Wednesday, as Democrats pushed for passage of a clean bill and flag removal opponents filed more amendments — lawmakers were expecting 100 by the day’s end — he still had a long way to go.

Could Minority Leader Todd Rutherford, a black caucus member and leading advocate of a clean bill, get behind Quinn’s amendment? “Absolutely not,” said Rutherford. “It will derail the process.”

Could Republican Rep. Mike Burns, a vocal flag defender, come around to supporting removal if it were accorded proper respect in the relic room? He doesn’t think so. “I’d rather see it on the State House grounds,” Burns said.

This time, as the decades-long conflict over the flag here came to a final head, there may not be enough rum and coke in the world to bring the two sides together.

With the House digging in for a session expected to run late into the night, Quinn shuttled between the floor and private lawmaker meetings, looking for middle ground between a clean bill and one that left room for a symbol of the Confederacy to keep flying in front of the State House.

Quinn’s been at the State House since 1989, having been elected to the legislature at 23, straight out of the University of South Carolina. He first knew Pinckney, several years his junior, when Pinckney was a House page, and the two developed a friendship and friendly rivalry — Pinckney, too, was elected to the House at 23.

In 1994, House Republicans won their party’s first majority in a legislative body in the South since reconstruction, and in 1999, Quinn became their leader.

In 2000, the State House became a flashpoint in American racial conflict. Years of mounting pressure came to a head with an NAACP-led push to remove the Confederate flag — which had flown from the State House dome since 1962 as a symbol of defiance of federal desegregation efforts — from State House grounds.

At the same time Tim Russert was on “Meet the Press” confronting presidential candidate John McCain about Quinn’s

father, Richard — a South Carolina Republican heavyweight and McCain adviser who edited a magazine that panned Martin Luther King Jr. and praised white supremacist David Duke — the younger Quinn was negotiating the deal with Democratic Gov. Jim Hodges that would move the flag to its current location and require two-thirds of both houses to move it again.

The deal left a bitter taste in the mouths of both the flag’s defenders and those pressing for its removal, and Quinn lost his 2004 reelection bid by barely 100 votes. Former Democratic state Rep. Bakari Sellers — a friend of Quinn’s and the son civil rights activist Cleveland Sellers, a leader of the Student Noviolent Coordinating Committee — branded the race one of the legislature’s biggest upsets in memory.

Quinn returned to the House in 2010 as a rank-and-file member, a position that he said has allowed him to return to being less partisan and to better foster relationships with Democrats.

That ability, to work his own caucus and the other party’s, is being tested this week.

At the Tin Roof bar on Tuesday night, surrounded by current and former legislators, Quinn tried to push his amendment to clean bill proponents. But as he took his leave of Quinn, Democratic legislator James Smith made an emotional case for passing a clean bill and making a clean break from the flag and its racial associations.

Edwin Givens, a lobbyist and son of a civil rights activist who’s been a Quinn drinking buddy for decades, said Quinn had promised him that whatever compromise was reached, the flag would come down and stay down.

On Wednesday morning, as Republicans met for the day’s first caucus, Quinn’s amendment drew some interest from a corner table where the flag’s defenders now congregate. Rep. Tommy Stringer asked Quinn to elaborate on the measure, which would direct a state agency overseeing the relic room to draw up a plan for the flag’s display.

But lawmakers left the meeting skeptical of progress. Back inside the State House, Burns, a flag supporter, complained that Quinn’s amendment did not include funding to ensure the flag was properly displayed.

Quinn buttonholed flag defenders before and after the meeting. He said Mike Pitts, an outspoken flag defender who has sponsored dozens of amendments, told him, “Look, I understand the flag’s got to go. I want an appropriate soldier’s banner. That’s all I want.”

But momentum remains on the side of those who want to pass a clean bill for removal identical to the Senate version.

Despite the volume of amendments, they believe they have the votes to get their way this week. At an afternoon caucus meeting, Haley pressed the case for the clean bill.

Quinn said that he wants to find a way to respect those who want to honor their Confederate ancestors and to maintain the legislature’s ability to cooperate after the flag business has been settled. He said he didn’t want flag supporters to feel completely railroaded. “It’s not what you accomplish, it’s how you do it,” he said. “We’ve got to keep the civility.”

After a short evening break from debate, the House took up Quinn’s amendment at 8:30 p.m. It was described as the only amendment with the hope of passing.

A vote to table the amendment failed just after 9:30 p.m. A vote to “recur to the morning hour,” a maneuver that would allow passage of a clean bill, failed by two votes just after 10.

Rep. Russell Ott, a Democrat, offered a further compromise — “alternative” as he preferred to call it — to pass a resolution with Quinn’s language, rather than an amendment, and then to pass a clean bill.

Speaker after speaker took to the podium to rail against any measure that could delay the removal of the flag, to invoke the memory of the dead in Charleston, relate the pain caused to them by racism, to speak of the embarrassment they felt to hail from South Carolina and the potential economic harm, and of the House’s reputation as the red-headed step-child of state government.

At quarter past 11, a second vote to recur to morning passed.

After several minutes of commotion, at 11:25 p.m., Quinn, Rutherford and House Speaker Jay Lucas disappeared into a back room.

One lawmaker said the House needed a hero and for the amendment to be withdrawn. “Quinn, please sir, I think we need you now to be that hero, for South Carolina, for the world, for all of us.”

At half past 11, a vote to adjourn for the day failed almost See Flag, Page 5

suit challenging Wynn casino

By PHILIP MARCELO Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts gambling regulators on Thursday lost their bid to dismiss a lawsuit filed

by Boston challenging the award of the state’s most lucrative casino license to Wynn Resorts.

In a lengthy hearing covering three lawsuits related to the Wynn project, Suffolk Superior Court Judge Janet Sanders denied the Massachusetts Gaming Commission’s request to dismiss Boston’s lawsuit outright. The commission had argued that the city’s 153page lawsuit was “effectively unanswerable” because it was so verbose.

The judge, addressing a range of other issues Thursday, also rejected Boston’s efforts to begin taking testimony from witnesses in the highly charged case.

Sanders said she’ll hold a Sept. 22 hearing to consider the state’s other arguments for throwing out the lawsuit.

Among those arguments is that the casino licensing competition and award process is not subject to judicial review.

Thomas Frongillo, a private attorney representing Boston, said the case raises serious questions about the integrity of the state’s gambling regulatory process. “This is a significant case for the public,” he said, arguing that Boston’s lengthy complaint was warranted because the alleged misconduct pervaded virtually

Boston and two other cities — Revere and Somerville — have filed separate lawsuits against the commission. The cities say commission members bent rules time and again to favor Wynn’s project over one by Mohegan Sun for the Suffolk Downs horse racing track in Revere. Mohegan Sun and Suffolk Downs workers also are plaintiffs in Revere’s lawsuit.

Among Boston’s many allegations are that commission members changed application rules and regulations to benefit Wynn and that Wynn representatives knew criminally suspect figures had an ownership stake in the former chemical plant site they hope to develop.

Boston recently issued 17 subpoenas to current and former state officials and others

tied to the project. It alleges that former state troopers working as private investigators for Wynn may have known about the criminal ties to the property, a revelation the city says should lead Wynn to lose its license, if proven true.

Wynn, which is not a party in any of the three lawsuits, has threatened to sue Boston for defamation.

Revere also has asked the court to start the discovery process in its case. But Judge Sanders on Thursday ruled that such evidence gathering is premature.

“There are serious issues that need to be address here first,” she said.

Sanders, meanwhile, granted Somerville its request to continue its lawsuit against the gaming commission, pending the state’s review of the traffic and environmental

mitigation plans for Wynn’s $1.7 billion resort casino complex for the industrial Everett waterfront across from Boston.

The three lawsuits are among a number of hurdles facing the state’s marquee casino project.

A group of Massachusetts taxpayers also have filed suit challenging Wynn’s casino project. That complaint is against Wynn and the state transit authority, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, and focuses on a controversial land deal between the two.

Wynn is one of three licensed casino operators in Massachusetts. MGM is building an $800 million resort in Springfield, and Penn National Gaming operates Plainridge Park, a recently opened slots parlor in Plainville.

House passes bill to hasten timber projects in forests

By KEVIN FREKING Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The House passed a bill Thursday designed to improve the health of national forests by scaling back the environmental reviews that go into some timbering projects and discouraging lawsuits that delay projects.

The goal is to speed up timber harvests and underbrush removal that the U.S. Forest Service deems necessary to improve the health of national forests, which are taking a hit from drought, density and infestation. Altogether, up to 40 percent of the entire national forest system is in need of treatment to reduce the threat of catastrophic wildfire and disease.

The bill meets the Obama administration partway when it comes to treating some wildfires like other federal disasters when it comes to tapping federal funds, but doesn’t go as far as the administration wanted and subsequently generated White House opposition.

As a result, it’s unclear what progress the bill will make after clearing the House by a vote of 262-167.

House Republicans have long sought more aggressive tree removal from national forest lands. Past efforts required the government to increase the amount of timber offered for sale.

This time, the focus was on reducing regulatory hurdles and lawsuits. Republican Rep. Tom McClintock of California said the nation’s forests have been consigned to a policy of benign neglect and are now dangerously overgrown.

“Excess timber comes out of the forest one way or the other,” McClintock said. “It’s either carried out or burned out.”

Nineteen Democratic lawmakers, mostly from rural areas, supported the bill.

One of their primary arguments from opponents was that exempting a wide range of forest lands from certain types of environmental reviews will make the forests, as Democratic Rep. Niki Tsongas of Massachusetts put it, “much more vulnerable to degradation and damage.”

Environmental groups largely opposed the bill. “Dramatically increasing logging based upon little to no environmental analysis is like racing down the highway with your windshield painted black. You know that the outcome will not be good,” said Jamie Rappaport Clark, president and CEO of Defenders of Wildlife.

Democrats were particularly critical of a provision requiring that groups suing to stop certain projects also be required to buy a surety bond. The bond would reimburse the federal government for expenses in the event the plaintiffs lose. An amendment to strip that provision was defeated largely along party lines. Rep. Rob Bishop, the chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, opposed the amendment.

“The verdict is in. The draconian environmental policies and litigation assaults of the past 30 years have failed our forests,” said Bishop, R-Utah.

In the days leading up to the vote, House Republicans added language designed to treat wildfires like other federal disasters, a longstanding priority of the Obama administration. Under the House bill, federal agencies tap into a disaster fund after

they’ve exhausted that year’s firefighting budget, and the extra money could only be used for putting out fires. The move was designed so agencies dedicating more and more resources to firefighting would no longer have to transfer money from the very programs that prevent fires in the first place.

While the Obama administration proposed a similar concept, there were also key differences that prompted the White House to issue a statement opposing the bill. The statement said the bill “falls short of fixing the fire budget problem and contains other provisions that will undermine collaborative forest restoration, environmental safeguards and public participation.”

Ask a Designer: Sweat the details like doorknobs and handles

By MELISSA RAYWORTH Associated Press It’s a small thing, often overlooked amid major items like furniture and paint colors when you’re decorating a room. But don’t underestimate the power of household hardware.

These small items — doorknobs, drawer pulls, cabinetdoor handles — are “the jewelry” that can add style and sparkle to any space, says New York-based interior designer Young Huh. Just as the right necklace can turn a simple dress into a fashion statement, a striking new set of knobs on an old cabinet, or vintage crystal doorknobs can bring a huge dose of style to your home with minimal expense, she says.

In many homes, these hardware items are mostly ignored. Interior doors may have mismatched, inexpensive knobs that were installed at different times. Drawers and cabinets may have functional but unappealing knobs or bars.

Swapping these items out is often easy, and Los Angelesbased designer Betsy

Burnham says her clients are frequently surprised at the visual impact of something as simple as carefully chosen hardware. Last summer, she added door pulls made of rope tied in small nautical knots to the built-in cabinets at a California beach house, inexpensively adding a dash of personality to the space.

Here, three interior-design experts — Huh, Burnham and designer Brian Patrick Flynn of Flynnside Out Productions — offer advice on choosing the right hardware and using it to coordinate the look of a home.

TRENDS One of the most popular styles now is lacquered or aged brass. “Ten years ago,” Huh says, “it was all about nickel: brushed nickel, shiny nickel. Now it’s the resurgence of brass.” Designers are using “bold tones, and things that look worn,” she says, by installing unlacquered brass that tarnishes over the course of a year, or paying extra for “pre-antiqued” brass that already has a colorful patina.

Flynn uses a lot of brass, especially “satin or antique

finishes, because they’re more sophisticated and less formal than polished, glossy styles.”

In addition, “a newer option I’m seeing and totally love is matte black hardware,” he says. “This is excellent for modern kitchens or for adding dark contrast to an otherwise light and bright space. The matte finish helps camouflage any scratches or smudges you’d deal with on glossy black pulls and knobs.”

Another dramatic favorite of Flynn’s: unlacquered iron.

UPGRADES AND CHANGES Burnham and her staff recently gave a preteen girl’s bedroom a more grown-up look by “changing the vibe from kind of old-fashioned to Bohemian.” Their changes included a new set of striped,

bone-inlay knobs from Anthropologie that gave the furniture a funky appeal.

The same approach can make grown-up furniture look just right for a baby or child’s room: If you are turning a guest room into a nursery, Burnham says, change the cabinetry hardware to something “sweet or pink or shiny,” or choose knobs shaped like birds or other animals.

If you’re shopping, Huh suggests hunting for an affordable piece of furniture and then making it look more expensive by adding dramatic hardware.

The range of available styles is enormous, and shopping for new or vintage items online is easy. Even if you’d prefer to buy in person, Burnham says a bit of online research “makes your creativ-

ity kind of percolate a little bit.”

“Just pay attention to dimensions,” she warns, because you “may not realize that in person, an inch-and-ahalf sphere is quite large.”

Measure the size and location of the holes left behind by your current hardware, she says. If you buy replacements that don’t match, drill new holes and fill the old ones.

And amid all the focus on style, do choose hardware that is easy to grab and use.

CONSISTENT OR CONTRASTING Take note of all the hardware and metals in a room, including lamp bases, and decide whether you want them to match or whether you’d like to inject some dramatic contrast.

Either method works, as long as it’s done deliberately.

“If you don’t do it consciously,” Huh says, “then it could all look really messy.”

“You don’t want to have shiny brass in one case and unlacquered in another and nickel hardware on something else,” she continues.

“Having similar tones is a good way to start. When you feel more expert, then mix metals.”

In a kitchen, “your finishes should probably match,” Burnham says. “You wouldn’t want the finishes to be fighting just a little.”

GET CRAFTY “In addition to pulls and knobs, I think nailheads can make a huge impact in a space,” Flynn says. “After updating cabinets and drawers, I’ll also give closet or interior doors a unique look by adding a nailhead border around the perimeter. This can elevate a basic hall closet into an architectural feature.”

You can buy nailheads at a craft store, or roofing tacks from a hardware store. Then cut fabric batting to size and use spray adhesive to cover the door with the batting.

Stretch your fabric across the door and attach it with staples. Finally, place nailheads over the staples and secure in place with a mallet or hammer.

“Although it may seem small, hardware can make the biggest impact of all elements in a space,” Flynn says. “With so many styles and finishes to choose from and so many available price points, there’s no reason not to update hardware regularly to give a room a fresh new look.”

New book offers lessons for parents from entrepreneurs

By LEANNE ITALIE Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — Hard work, persistence, initiative. Can the skills found among entrepreneurs help today’s young people navigate their way to success? Absolutely, say a developmental psychologist and a successful public relations company founder who have teamed on a new book, “Raising Can-Do Kids.”

Self-entitled kids may be able to navigate their way into the Ivy League, but it’s the self-motivated ones who have the skills to be trailblazers, said Richard Rende, the psychologist and researcher who wrote the book with Jen Prosek, CEO of Prosek Partners.

The book is out in August from Perigee Books, an imprint of Penguin Random House. Together, the two take on the science of success as it relates to entrepreneurship and parenting alike.

A conversation with Richard Rende, also a dad of a 15-yearold daughter and director of curriculum and instruction at a college preparatory school in Phoenix: AP: Why take on the idea that parents can learn a thing or two from successful entrepreneurs?

Rende: What was interesting to me about it was the idea of taking on seminal issues, revisiting key concepts but looking at them with a fresh eye. The entrepreneurial perspective gives the long-range view on why these skills are important.

These skills, arguably, matter more now than they ever have.

To Jen, there was a little sense of urgency that kids aren’t getting these things and they’re going to be the things they really need.

I think kids can learn from entrepreneurs what their value will be in the world. It can be anything, not just curing cancer or establishing world peace, necessarily. It’s to find in you what you’re passionate about and how you bring all your skills to bear on that. I don’t know that kids are as well-equipped as they should be to do those things. Not just supersmart but innovative.

AP: Are most kids natural entrepreneurs?

Rende: I think most kids are naturally entrepreneurial.

There’s a difference. Our perspective isn’t so much that kids should grow up to be entrepreneurs in that classic sense but that they share entrepreneurial traits, like exploration and innovation, developmentally.

Babies are wired for exploration in that way of naturally searching through their environment for the right kinds of information. They’re wired to pick up on all these things, like watching a human face. So we take that through early childhood and the idea of how important it is to be exploratory.

AP: And there are other traits the two of you discuss.

Rende: There’s also the personal, things like optimism and risk-taking, but we have a different take on risk-taking. We talk about it as opportunity-seeking, learning how to seek out challenges and manage risk. That’s where the entrepreneurial framework was helpful to me as a developmentalist, to think about what we really want our kids to be doing, as opposed to jumping off of a building because it’s a risk.

It’s knowing how to push yourself a little bit to climb up a tree because it’s interesting to you to climb up a tree and not do it in a crazy way that will land you in the emergency room.

AP: Haven’t we as parents known some of these things for a long time?

Rende: Absolutely. I think the concern is that a lot of the things that we talk about in parenting culture pull away from these things, such as we keep talking about how kids are not being permitted to take risks and look at challenges the way that they used to.

That takes many forms. There’s limiting kids’ opportunities for physical play out of concern for safety, but also more psychologically, being able to mess up in school. It’s OK to get a B and consider that a challenge.

AP: How do you see Generation Me and Generation We playing out today?

Rende: It’s complicated. Kids are getting a message that it’s so important for them to focus on their accomplishments and on themselves, right? I don’t think they’re necessarily growing up in a social void, but I do think there’s so much pressure on them to achieve that it does take away from their ability to have the opportunity to learn about being more connected to people and the value of that.

It’s the type of thing where kids really need to just have more messaging. For example, at Princeton, they revisited their grading policy because they’ve been known for having a real strict quota about what percentage of kids could get an A in a class. They started to worry about that and realized it was undermining kids’ natural tendency to want to help each other out. That’s a powerful way of thinking about what’s happening with kids.

AP: The notion of narcissism among kids today is a hot topic. Is that word thrown around too much when we discuss parenting?

Rende: It’s thrown around without the appropriate caveat of what it is really meant to be. It can be looked on as a personality trait. It’s about not being so concerned with others and it spins off into discussions of entitlement. I do think it gets off the tracks.

We have to dig deeper when we’re talking about research.

The research has been mixed. It should be a reflection on what we want our kids to be like, really. Should kids come into class and assume they’re getting an A? I think that’s the line. What you worry about is this sort of sense that some kids might be getting that, ‘I just inherently deserve this. I’m awesome.’

AP: You all wrote of several C words that make a difference.

Rende: Conflict, how do you learn to appropriately deal with conflict. It’s a very important developmental skill. You don’t want to learn to avoid conflict, per se, but if it’s handled the wrong way, you get into, essentially, coercion, where you learn to handle disagreements by just trying to get your way. So, ‘I’m just going to keep arguing with you until you give in.’

And we also have cooperation. You have to learn how to cooperate. You have to really learn it. In the broader, entrepreneurial sense it’s about collaboration. How do you work together well?

And then there’s conversation. It’s important. We talk in the book about how a teacher, Paul Barnwell, says that he thought kids didn’t know how to have basic conversation these days.

There’s so much embedded in conversation that’s good for kids.

How to decorate when you move a lot

By KIM COOK Associated Press Call them the "turtle" generation, carrying their belongings with them.

Millennials — those born between the early 1980s and the early 2000s, approximately — are a mobile generation, according to a study released in March by the U.S. Census Bureau. Only about 24 percent of the total population, they make up over 40 percent of movers between 2007 and 2012.

They're moving for lots of reasons: a better apartment; a more convenient neighborhood; a job; education; a new city with a more attractive lifestyle.

"Young adults are highly mobile," says Joe Cortright of City Observatory, a Portland, Oregon-based urban think tank. "They're voting with their feet for the kinds of metropolitan areas and neighborhoods they want to live in."

They're all about carrying a limited number of possessions, says Rebecca Ryan, economist and futurist at Next Generation Consulting in Madison, Wisconsin.

"They don't want to live in a big house; they want to have a big life. And part of that is living minimally, so they have as much flexibility as possible," she says.

Value is placed on furnishings that are stylish and versatile.

So for them — or anyone wanting to keep the moving truck fees to a minimum and still have a smart-looking home — what are some options?

LIVING ROOM Boston Interiors offers a number of versatile items at an easy price point. The Plantation storage trunk, crafted in warm Himalayan sheesham wood, offers capacious storage while serving as a handsome coffee table.

The Emmett leaning desk has two fixed shelves and a writing platform. At only about 30 inches wide, it has a small footprint and transports easily. And the Hyannis flip-top table has a chunky, farmhouse vibe. You could use it as a desk, dining table or console. (www.bostoninteriors.com ) Ikea's Friheten sofa is a sofa, chaise and double bed in one, with a bonus: The chaise can be switched left or right, depending on the configuration of the room. It comes flat-packed in three boxes. (www.ikea.com ) Sauder has a new line conceived by furniture designer Shawn Sowers that includes coffee and side tables, a bookcase inspired by industrial scaffolding, and a media cabinet. A mix of textures and materials like brushed bronze, ebonized veneer, copper and glossy white metal make for a design-forward collection. Sowers says stylish furniture for millennials has to be easy to pack up

and move to the next home.

So everything's shipped in heavy-duty cartons, assembling and disassembling with a few simple tools. (www. sauderboutique.com ) BEDROOM Instead of a bulky, woodframe box spring, consider a simple platform bed on which you can drop a futon or memory-foam mattress. Wayfair has options in various finishes that assemble and disassemble quickly. (www.wayfair.com ) If you're due for a new mattress anyway, consider one of the new memory-foam mattresses that ship rolled up like a big sleeping bag. Time the order to arrive on your movein date. Safavieh has a highquality option in all sizes. (www.target.com ) DINING ROOM Pieces that serve for both work and dining suit the millennial lifestyle.

New at Ikea, Backaryd and Karpalund tables feature a slim, fiberboard slab top that

can be put on powder-coated steel legs; everything unscrews quickly when it's time to move.

Target has some bent plywood stacking chairs with contemporary dash.

Tick-System has sets of universal-size table legs that look like giant paper clips.

Attach them to any table top — marble, MDF (mediumdensity fiberboard), glass, wood; you can get creative with a found piece. (www. tick-system.com ) STORAGE Open shelving in white, wenge or cherry finish are useful for books, display items, room division and other storage. At Dania, find several that can be used vertically or horizontally, and some come with casters. (www.daniafurniture.com ) Ikea has some bamboo storage modules that can be arranged lots of different ways, and are trimmed in powder-coated metal in red, green or white.

Wire-framed, canvas-cov-

ered portable wardrobes now come in lots of colors and styles, and dismantle easily.

BAN THE BULK Flat-weave or lightweight textural rugs eat up less space than heavy wool rugs.

Heatproof glass containers with lids can be used for food saving, cooking and dining, eliminating a lot of extra kitchen storage gear.

Consider rolling, drawered cabinets usually used for crafts, office supplies or tools as bedroom storage for accessories and small personal items that can get jumbled on a dresser top. When it's time to move, these are an easy roll to the truck.

Second inning stalls Westfield seniors

By ROBBY VERONESI Correspondent WESTFIELD — The Westfield Senior All-Stars continued their offensive hot streak in their sectional winner’s bracket matchup against Auburn, but a ninerun second inning loomed large and eventually doomed the hosts Thursday night.

Westfield scored five in the first inning and four in the seventh inning, but Auburn plated 10 runs in their first two innings and threw five no-hit innings to stop Westfield, 12-9, at Bud and Jim Hagan Field on the campus of Westfield State University.

With the loss, Westfield will face an elimination game Friday at either Winchendon or Brookfield Little League of Brockton, while Auburn advances to the sectional championship to await the winner of the loser’s bracket matchup.

The Whip City All-Stars opened the game with a five-run first inning, highlighted by run-scoring hits from Brad Alvord, Joey Ditzner and Cam Garfield. Up until the end of half an inning, Westfield had outscored its opponents 21-0 over the last five innings.

Matt Collier led off the game by reaching on a hitby-pitch from Auburn starting pitcher T.J. Medlin.

One batter later, Collier looked to be caught in a rundown between second and third base, but an obstruction call on Auburn allowed runners to reach first and third base. Alvord and Ditzner hit consecutive runscoring hits to score the first two runs and then Alvord scored on an errant pitch to extend the lead to 3-0.

Garfield’s single plated the fourth run of the inning and Tanner Haley plated another run to balloon the early margin to five.

Relief pitcher Joe Hopper shut down the chance of another Westfield attack after relieving Medlin in the first inning, tossing six no-hit innings until allowing Joey Burzynski and Ditzner to reach via a single and

double respectively in the seventh inning. The designated home team used three different pitchers in the seventh inning, aiding Westfield to gain hope of a comeback. The first four batters of the inning all scored to cut the deficit to three, thanks to three wild pitches and a throwing error from the catcher.

Cody Garwacki earned the loss on the mound for Westfield, allowing seven runs, including six of the nine runs scored in Auburn’s big second inning. The District Five champions sent 12 batters to the plate, with every batter scoring once. Medlin crushed a three-run double, while Nick Jose hit a two-run double to aid the rally and help give the designated home team a 10-5 lead after two innings.

Bailey O’Shea threw 1 2/3 innings allowing zero earned runs, while Ditzner threw three innings, giving up a pair of insurance runs in the sixth inning on six hits.

PITTSFIELD — The tanker truck mishap and ensuing lengthy back-up on the Mass Pike road trip north to Pittsfield was the first sign that things were askew and wouldn’t be back on track for a few days. Another sign came in the top half of the first inning when Westfield bookended two solid singles around a fly ball to center, missed two signs, had two baserunners caught stealing and went down ‘in order.’

There were other baseball oddities, like the parade of pitchers Pittsfield marched out seemingly inning after inning, the 8-3-2-6 double play on Baley Collier’s second single to center, the head-first slide and collision at first base following a harmless bunt in the bottom of the fifth, and the forfeit and subsequent protest that ended everything about three hours after the game’s first pitch.

In game two of the District Playoffs on Monday, July 6 at Deming Field in Pittsfield, Westfield’s 14 year old all-stars forfeited a game they were leading 7-5 with one out in the bottom of the seventh. The forfeit was decided upon at home plate after a long conference involving coaches from both teams, the game’s two umpires, an on-site Babe Ruth official, and a handful of phone calls to additional Babe Ruth officials, including Westfield Babe Ruth President Dan Welch.

To understand how the game ended in a forfeit-and-protest – a protest that was eventually upheld the next day in favor of Westfield – you have to rewind to the bottom of the fifth inning and that collision at first base.

Westfield had extended its lead to 5-2 in the top of the fifth when Cam Davignon scored on the Collier single that ended in the unusual 8-3-2-6 double play. In the bottom of the inning, Pittsfield scored twice without the benefit of a hit, once on a wild pitch and another on a squeeze bunt by Ryan Gaudette. On the squeeze play, Gaudette bunted to the right side, where first baseman Billy Mollison fielded the ball cleanly, looked home deciding he didn’t have a play, and threw to second baseman Spencer Cloutier covering first for the out. Gaudette’s hard head-first slide took out Cloutier, with both players finishing in a dusty pileup. At this point words were exchanged everywhere – involving players, coaches, fans and umpires – setting the stage for the bottom of the seventh.

With the score now 7-5, Westfield’s Sam Parker was looking to close out the win and get the teams to a deciding Game Three on Friday night at Bullens Field in Westfield.

Parker had come on in relief of starter Jimmy Hagan in the sixth, walking three, allowing one run and inducing a popup with the bases loaded to end the inning. To start the bottom of the seventh, Parker struck out Cedric Rose looking after falling behind 3-1. On his next pitch to Gaudette, the clean-up hitter, Parker left a fastball too far inside and hit Gaudette in the arm. Gaudette immediately started walking toward the mound and the home plate umpire quickly followed. What happened next surprised everyone – the home plate umpire ejected Parker.

It was at this point in the fading sunlight that the conferences and conversations started, resulting in a declaration of forfeit, awarding Pittsfield the game and the best-of-three series for the district championship (Pittsfield had won the first game, 3-1).

Miscommunication and confusion mixed for the next 30 minutes to result in the incorrect awarding of the forfeit. At some point it was determined that Westfield would forfeit because it did not have the required number of players to finish the game. With so many voices involved, it was somehow incorrectly communicated that Westfield had only 11 players on its bench and, after Parker’s ejection and an earlier injury to Jack Blake, now only had 9 players. A team is required to finish a game with the same number of rostered players as it had at the start. Westfield opened the game with a starting roster of 10 (9 position players and an Extra Hitter), lost 2, so it was determined they now had only 9 remaining and not the 10 they needed. In fact, Westfield had started with 15 players on its full roster and had more than enough players to substitute for Parker in order to finish the game. Unfortunately, confusion won out, the teams shook hands peacefully, and discussions regarding the protest began in earnest.

By midday Tuesday it was determined that Westfield’s protest was justified and the two teams would have to resume Game Two where it had been halted and play it to its baseball conclusion. As noted in the rules, Pittsfield will be allowed to select one of the remaining Westfield substitutes to re-enter the game in place of Parker, allowing Westfield to finish with the required 10-man roster.

Not all the excitement on Monday night happened from the fifth inning on. In the third, with a runner at first and two outs, Hagan reached on a base hit and Parker walked to load the bases. Cam Parent then popped up toward first, but the ball was misplayed, scoring Carter Cousins from third.

Hagan then scored on a single by Davignon and Westfield had a 2-0 lead. They would never trail for the remainder of the game.

Pittsfield put up a run bottom of the inning and Westfield followed with two more in the fourth. Cousins drove in Collier, who had singled with one out. Parker’s second consecutive full count walk scored Blake, who had singled and advanced on back-to-back singles from Joe Raco and Cousins. Westfield scored single runs in each of the next three innings to take its 7-5 lead into the eventful bottom of the seventh.

The ending of Game Two awaits to be written on Friday when the rivals meet again beginning at 6 p.m. at Bullens. If Westfield holds on for the win, the deciding ‘if’ game will be played immediately afterwards. Should Pittsfield stage a comeback and win, they will win the district title. Whatever the outcome, both teams will advance to the Western Massachusetts State Championship Tournament beginning next week in Worcester.

12-run inning fuels American final berth

By ROBBY VERONESI Correspondent Facing a win-or-go-home situation for the second consecutive game, the 9- and 10-year-old All-Stars from Westfield American pulled off another road victory to place themselves in the district championship against city-rivals Westfield National.

After claiming their playoff spot on the final pool play day, American’s top-ranked offense erupted in the middle innings, scoring five runs in the third inning and 12 runs in the fourth inning to upset Belchertown, the top seed from pool A, and end the game via a mercy rule in four innings, 17-7, at Mini Fenway Park.

“The kids came through (and) they didn’t give up,” said Head Coach Tom Flaherty. “We definitely took advantage of their mistakes and the kids that came through were the non-starters. We went with our best defensive team in the field and the bottom of the order was getting on like crazy. It was surreal because (their efforts) took a real negative situation and turned it around.”

Belchertown cranked a three-run home run in the top of the first inning and added another run in the second inning to jump out to a 4-0 lead early–a situation American faced the last time they faced National. Unlike that meeting at Papermill, American responded in a big way, plating five runs on Belchertown’s relief pitching and sending 10 boys to the plate.

The hosts would re-take the lead in the top of the fourth inning, scoring three runs on a bevy of walks and passed balls, but the designated home team would respond once again, as they nearly doubled their third inning effort in the bottom of the fourth inning, sending 15 batters to the plate and rallying from a 7-5 deficit to score 12 runs. American, who led the district with 69 runs scored during pool play, cranked out 13 hits in the four innings–11 of those coming after the second time through the lineup in the third inning.

The Scherpa brothers started the initial rally in the third inning in consecutive at-bats. Jay plated the first two runs on a double and Kyle drove in his brother to cut the initial Belchertown margin to a single run. The twins provided a crucial spark in the 12-run fourth inning as well, with Jay smoking a triple and Kyle driving a single to plate more runs and extend the Westfield lead.

The bottom of the order had an impact for American during the rally, as all four batters that came to the plate scored at least one run or drove in at least one run. Sean Roselli had a pair of run-scoring hits in the fourth inning alone, including an outfield flare which sealed the 10-run margin and a championship berth.

Winners of two straight road matchups, American will head 3.5 miles north from their Cross Street base to the site of their only blemish of the summer for a Saturday showdown with crosstown rivals Westfield National. The lone matchup during pool play went the way of the Nats, who used a four-run first inning–and five total American errors–to seize control of pool B on their way to clinching the top seed.

“I think it’s going to be similar to the Easthampton game, where it’ll be a grind-it-out, possibly low-scoring game,” said Flaherty.

“We’re definitely looking forward to it. They’re going to be playing their friends, but we’re definitely going to be shooting for the win, as they’ll be as well.”

Springfield College hosts 22nd Annual Athletic Training Student Workshop SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Springfield College recently hosted its 22nd annual Athletic Training Student Workshop on campus. The five-day workshop, co-directed by Springfield College Athletic Trainer and Assistant Professor of Physical Education Wayne Rodrigues and Springfield College graduate Bob Kuzmeski ‘88, G’92, is intended for high school students interested in careers in athletic training and sports medicine.

“The goal of the workshop is to give high school students an opportunity to gain some valuable experience in learning the athletic training profession as they prepare for college,” said Rodrigues. “This workshop is a great opportunity for high school students to understand what it takes to be a certified athletic trainer prior to their college careers. It’s also a great way to showcase the athletic training program at Springfield College and the first-class facilities we have to offer.”

High school students from throughout the country attend the workshop and focus on anatomy, injury prevention, and care of common lower extremity athletic injuries. Lectures, demonstrations, and practice sessions about athletic injury prevention and maintenance take place during the workshop.

Students also have the opportunity to receive hands-on exploration of cadaver anatomy in the cadaver laboratory on campus. Presentations on career options also are part of the curriculum during the workshop.

New to the program this year was the use of iPads during both classroom and laboratory practice sessions about athletic injury prevention, recognition and treatment. Using the downloadable health care applications, attendees learned the anatomy, and pathology of sports related injuries. The Knee Decide applications effectively educates patients using interactive 3D animation, text description, and radiographic imagery of the most common conditions and procedures. The application is utilized on a regular basis by the Springfield College Athletic Training program during the academic year.

Athletic training is an allied health profession, recognized by the American Medical Association that provides healthcare services for physically active individuals. The athletic training major at Springfield College is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE), and is one of the most competitive programs of its kind in the country. Program graduates are found across the United States working in sports medicine clinics, at high schools, at colleges and universities, and with professional sports teams.

Westfield sweeps semifinals to secure Whip City final

By ROBBY VERONESI Correspondent After 10 teams from Hampden and Hampshire Counties squared off in the district two pool play this summer, the district final for the 9- and 10-year-old All-Stars will have a distinct Whip City feel after both Westfield National and Westfield American won their semifinal games to advance to Saturday’s championship.

The top two teams from pool B showed their individual strengths Thursday evening in strong fashion to defeat the top two teams from pool A. No. 2 Westfield American, the tournament’s highest scoring offense, used a late rally to score 12 unanswered runs to defeat No. 1 Belchertown, 17-5, at Mini Fenway.

Meanwhile, No. 1 Westfield National, who had only allowed six runs in their four pool play games, used a dominant pitching attack and sound defense to defeat No. 2 Longmeadow, 7-1, at Papermill Road.

“Once we get it going, the kids really get pretty comfortable and settled in the game,” said National Head Coach Shane Collins. “Pitching is one of our strengths. We’ve played five games and have given up seven runs total, so that’s the big thing. We got some timely hitting and now it’s time to play Westfield (American) in the championship.”

For the second time in as many home starts, Josh Mayo delivered a clutch pitching performance for National, tossing four innings of threehit baseball while striking out eight Longmeadow batters to help halt the visitors’ three-game winning streak.

During his last two starts against Easthampton and Longmeadow, Mayo

has struck out 15 batters and has scattered six hits, showing signs of his pitching display during the 2015 regular season.

“Josh is a good pitcher, no doubt,” said Collins. “When he gets in a groove, then he’s really, really good.

Josh played for me in the regular season and he’s pitched like that all year.

As a 10-year-old, he got a lot of innings in the majors division because the team he played on was an expansion team. The experience is just paying off unbelievably in the postseason.

When Josh gets to the mound, he’s so calm and cool and just gets the ball and throws. He’s very good at what he does.”

As has been the case during their unbeaten run through pool play, Westfield National used a collective attack on offense, scoring runs in all but one inning to chip away at the Longmeadow starting pitcher. Six different batters recorded at least one hit, led by Ryder Pieczarka and Josh Sturmer’s pair of hits. Sturmer and leadoff batter Cody Collins each scored a pair of runs to lead Westfield, while Pieczarka drove in two runs to fuel the Nats.

The designated visiting team jumped in front first in their first at-bats.

Collins reached on a Longmeadow error and would come around to score on Pieczarka’s RBI single. Their lead would double in the second inning when Mayo, who walked in his only at-bat, scored on a wild pitch with two outs.

The Nats scored a pair of runs in both the third and fourth innings. After Anthony Schabowski and Sturmer singled with one out, Schabowski came in to score the third run on a

fielder’s choice from Jesse Paroline.

One batter later, Devin Werbiskis executed a successful suicide squeeze to plate Sturmer and double the Westfield lead to 4-0. One inning later, Pieczarka drove in his second run during Westfield’s two-run fourth inning.

“We hit right through the lineup and the unbelievable thing about this team is that the kids coming off the beench are doing their job,” said Collins.

“They come in and make something happen. They’re playing their roles as well as I could possibly ask them.

Every single one of them contributes and its so nice to watch. Once we got through the lineup twice, we got to him more. We’re going to hit a pitcher that throws strikes, so that’s what we want. We tend to hit the pitchers that throw a little harder a lot better.”

The Whip City rematch will take place Saturday at 10 a.m. at Papermill Road. During pool play, National gave American its only loss of the summer in an 8-3 win which featured five American errors. The Nats took advantage of these errors and jumped out to an early 4-0 first-inning lead. Collins and the Nats expect Saturday to be a much closer affair, especially after American’s consecutive victories at Easthampton and at Belchertown.

“It’s going to be a great game,” said Collins. “They’re two very good teams and it’s awesome that the two finalists out of the 10-team bracket are from Westfield. They’re all buddies and I think it’s going to be a blast. Clearly, the team that makes the least amount of mistakes is going to win the game.

If you play a clean game, you’re usually going to win the game. I am fully anticipating a one-run ballgame, one way or the other.”

Annie’s Mailbox

By KATHY MITCHELL and MARCY SUGAR

What would you suggest I do?

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been happily married for 24 years. It is a second marriage for both of us. I am 68, and he is 71. We are still working. Fortunately, we enjoy our professions, but my husband will not be able to retire because his former wife receives alimony for the rest of her life.

A few years ago, my husband underwent intensive treatment, including chemo, radiation and surgery for cancer. It is not curable, and he returns for tests and treatment every few months. He also suffers from treatment-related issues that undermine his health. Through all of this, he has been incredibly strong. He has fought bravely and with very little drama.

He is my hero.

Lately, I’ve noticed some personality changes that make socializing difficult. He has always liked to talk about himself, but he’s started to monopolize conversations with friends and acquaintances. Last night, he held the conversation throughout dinner with his exploits from 50 years ago. The other guests looked miserable, and I felt unable to change the conversation.

He recently interrupted a conversation to tell a story about his high school. Our friends waited patiently, then returned to their original topic. I’ve also noticed some memory lapses and worry that it will affect his job. One of his colleagues has commented on his forgetfulness.

I hesitate to discuss it with him because I don’t want to undermine his self-assurance at work. Depression is certainly a possibility, but he shows no particular signs of sadness or lethargy. What would you suggest I do? -- Trouble in Paradise Dear Paradise: Some ongoing medical treatment can have an effect on one’s overall health, including mental health. Also, as your husband gets older, it would not be unusual for him to develop memory and cognitive issues, which can contribute to monopolizing the conversation and focusing on past history.

These problems are not going to disappear, and eventually, they will become an issue at his job. It is better to address them now. Suggest to your husband that he speak to his doctor to be certain he is not having additional side effects from the medication, and to ask how best to stay healthy, both mentally and physically.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “I Picked It First,” who named her child “Jane,” and was terribly upset to discover a cousin was planning to give her baby the same name.

My mother was the eldest child in a family of four. I am the second child and am named “John” in honor of my grandfather. Each of my aunts named one of their boys “John,” as well, for the same reason. As a child, I thought it was kind of neat having cousins who had the same name as mine. It matters not to the child.

I concur with your response and think the situation should be handled with good humor. A name is only a name after all, especially a first name. -- John Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE THE CASE FOR REMEMBERING Dear Heloise: When I travel, I take my own pillow for comfort. I have a very colorful print PILLOWCASE to put on it so that it doesn’t blend in with the hotel’s pillows. It’s easy to see and hard to leave! -- A Reader, via email This is one of my favorite travel hints. If David and I are on a road trip, I do like to take my own pillow, too. If flying, I have two of my “faux silk” purple king-size pillowcases in my luggage. May sound silly to some, but I love them! For the ladies, you won’t wake up with crinkles in your face when you sleep on one of these!

Can’t miss the purple pillow on the bed when it’s checkout time. -- Heloise PAINT HINTS Dear Heloise: When we moved into our house, we painted.

I kept the paint-chip card and placed it with other important files for the house. I can take it with me if I need more paint.

Or, when we move, I’ll pass it on to the new owners.

I kept small cans of each color. We have a young, very active boy, and there usually is a need for a touch-up. Whether it is marks on the wall, a chair scrape in the kitchen or a nick on a corner, now I simply grab the can I need. -- Ari O., Athens, Ga. CONTACT INFORMATION Dear Heloise: I have all of my contacts’ information entered in my cellphone. However, I always keep all of the information in a separate address book. That way, if something happens to my cellphone, I won’t lose all of the information and contacts.

-- Lisa L. in Kansas City, Kan.

DOG EAT DOUG

Brian Anderson

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, July 10, 2015: This year you express some of your mental ramblings and desires. The possibility of traveling to a foreign country emerges. You won’t always have an opportunity like this one, so act accordingly. If you are single, anytime from summer on, someone quite significant to your life could introduce him- or herself.

How important this bond becomes will be determined by you. If you are attached, you will find that your sweetie seems to be changing right in front of your eyes.

Know that this is a process -- what you see now might not be what you see later.

Go with the flow. TAURUS often proves his or her friendship with you.

ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You could be taken aback by a situation that is changeable and somewhat touchy. Use your sixth sense with a money matter that is extremely important to you.

Be aware that you might need to allot some social time for your friends. Tonight: Invite loved ones to join you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH A friend or work associate will play a strong role in making plans for a short getaway. When you hear this person’s ideas, you might realize that you are not on board. Revise your plans while you can. Be more direct with someone at a distance. Tonight: Whatever pleases you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH It might be wise to pull back and understand what has to happen in order to make your life work appropriately. A conversation with a loved one will allow you to open up to a novel idea. Nearly anything could become possible. Tonight: Add some mystery to your image.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Be more detailed in your description of what you want. Somehow, you see situations differently from how others see them. Be sure to ask for more feedback, as you easily could make a mistake. A partner who has been difficult might loosen up. Tonight: TGIF! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You might be focused on the coming weekend and opting for a more leisurely few days than what you have had in the recent past. Taking time off will help you deal more effectively with others. Use this period to reflect on what you want from someone. Tonight: Schedule a massage.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH If you can, take off early and head to your favorite weekend spot. You might enjoy yourself much more than you realize. You have a way about you that draws a lot of attention, especially when you are out of your immediate circle.

Tonight: Go for something exotic.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You might decide to do something differently from how you have done it in the past. Follow through on your feelings; you will find that your plans become invigorated as a result. A friend has an unusual way of demonstrating his or her caring. Tonight: Add some romance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might consider taking some time off from your usual style. You are likely to enjoy making plans and getting together with others. All you have to do is go along for the ride. Letting go of a need for control is good for you, though it could be difficult. Tonight: Say “yes.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You will discover that you have little choice but to put up your feet and relax. You might try to stir up some fun; however, unless it fits into your normal routine, you could find yourself all alone. Someone you care about will appreciate your efforts. Tonight: Friday night rituals.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Whatever you touch has an element of creativity. A loved one might distance him- or herself, as he or she might not be used to seeing you in this manner. You could find that your feelings are changing about a friend. Tonight: Make amends rather than create an uproar.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You will be focused on a personal matter. Dealing with a family member could be somewhat difficult, and it might take all you’ve got to make it work.

Your feelings could be changing about this situation, especially if you can detach.

Tonight: Invite friends over.

Cryptoquip

Crosswords

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH A friend might be quite rigid. Be more laid-back and observant when it comes to this person. Know that you cannot change anyone but yourself and your reactions. Tap into your imagination when speaking with a child or new friend. Tonight: Let it all happen.
