Committee supports police station repairs

Canoe, kayak cruise coming WESTFIELD – On Saturday, June 20, the Westfield River Watershed Association will sponsor a scenic, mostly flatwater, six-mile paddle from the new Great River Bridge in Westfield to Robinson State Park in Agawam. Participants should bring their own canoe or kayak, paddles and personal safety devices, as well as sunscreen and drinking water.

For those used to seeing the river only in glimpses from the road, the canoe cruise offers a new, close-up view of the waterway. Organizers recommend that participants be experienced paddlers, given that river conditions may be unpredictable. Children under 18 must be supervised by a parent or guardian. Children under 14 must paddle in the same boat as an adult.

An admission fee of $10 per person and $25 per family will help cover shuttle service, insurance and light refreshments. Registration is from 10-11 a.m. in the municipal parking lot off Meadow Street near the Great River Bridge in Westfield. Participants will register, unload boats and gear, drive their vehicles to Robinson State Park and return by shuttle to the launch area. Staggered departures will begin at 11:00 a.m.

Low or high water conditions or really bad weather may cause a cancellation of the event. If you plan to participate and would like to receive a cancellation notice by email the evening before the event, email lynnbannon@verizon.net and put the word “Notify” in the Subject line. WRWA will also post the cancellation on its website, www.westfieldriver. org the evening before.

Baystate one step closer to acquiring Noble Hospital

By HOPE E. TREMBLAY Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Noble Hospital was officially given the green light to join Baystate Health Network this week.

The Massachusetts Health Policy Commission approved the purchase of Noble Hospital during its regular meeting in Boston June 10. That was one of the last steps in moving forward with Baystate’s acquisition of Noble, which means that Holyoke Medical Center is the only hospital in the area not affiliated with another health system.

Baystate Health Public Affairs Director Benjamin Craft said the approval was “a big step forward.”

“The process is not yet complete though.

Noble is not part of Baystate Health right now, but we should complete that process over the next few weeks,” said Craft.

Noble Hospital is a 97-bed facility that has undergone upgrades to the building itself and its services in recent years. Among them are the addition of the comprehensive breast health center. While Noble is a small hospital, it offers some cutting edge technology rarely found in such a small system.

Dr. Ira Schmelkin, the head of the hospital’s gastroenterology department, has begun utilizing

a technological breakthrough known as the PillCam Colon, a small capsule equipped with cameras, to perform more complete colonoscopies and to diagnose other digestive issues.

It is expected that with the acquisition by Baystate, more of these types of procedures will open up to Noble patients.

A potential merger was publicly announced in late winter.

“I believe the brightest future for Noble, our employees, our patients and our community lies in partnership with a high-quality and well-integrated academic health network such as Baystate Health,” said Ronald P. Bryant, president and CEO of Noble Health Network, which includes Noble Hospital, Noble Medical Group and Noble Visiting Nurse and Hospice. “We look forward to advancing our discussions to determine the best course forward for Noble and for our community.”

Bryant recognized that independent community hospitals like Noble face major challenges in the current healthcare environment.

“This potential new relationship would secure the viability of Westfield’s acute-care hospital and at the same time support our efforts to increase the coordination and value of the healthcare provided in our communities,” Bryant said when announcing discussions.

By DAN MORIARTY Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Finance Committee will recommend the approval of the appropriation of a bond premium to the full City Council next Thursday to fund repairs to the Westfield Police Headquarters on Washington Street and improvements to Bullens Field.

Purchasing Director Tammy Tefft appeared before the committee to explain the two appropriations, which total $543,642.34.

“This funding is part of the bond premium from the $50 million bond the city sold and it has to be used only for bondable capital projects,” Tefft said. “Any money not expended goes back into the bond premium and can only be used for other bondable capital projects.”

Tefft said $279,029 of the total will be used to replace the concrete deck of the police headquarters security bay. The bay, a sally port system, is designed to allow cruisers transporting persons under arrest, to enter an outer bay with a garage door. After the cruiser is inside the outer door is closed and the prisoner brought thru a second door into the department’s booking area.

Tefft said that she included a larger than normal contingency allotment in the funding request because there is electrical wiring embedded in the concrete slab which has to be removed.

Tefft said it is unclear if that wiring is obsolete and does not need to be replaced, or is connected to the present electrical and communication systems, in which case it will have to be replaced.

The project includes installation of two I-beams to support the new slab that will be installed. Also included is renovation of the women’s locker room which was closed because concrete chunks were spalling off the bottom of the slab and creating a hazardous condition.

Tefft said that $264,613.34 is being allocated to making improvements to Bullens Field. The majority of that funding will be used to bring the entryway of See Repairs, Upgrade, Page 3

Westfield Community Police host Bike Safety Rodeo tomorrow at Elks Lodge WESTFIELD – The Westfield Police Department Community Police Unit will be hosting its First Annual Bike Safety Rodeo at the Lodge of Elks at 56 Franklin

Street in Westfield tomorrow from 9 a.m. – noon.

This event is designed to benefit the community’s children in hopes to teach proper bicycle safety and ensure a fun and safe summer for local families.

The three-hour event will include bicycle obstacle courses to ensure children know how to properly and safely maneuver themselves while out on roads and sidewalks. There will also be safety literature that includes simple memory games to ensure awareness of proper bicycle attire and how to properly ride bicycles in the road.

All that is asked is that each child bring their own bike and helmet for bike and helmet checks that will take place to ensure proper equipment is being used and being used correctly. As an added bonus, the event will also include face-painting, food, drinks, and, most importantly, ice cream.

This event is organized by the Westfield Police Department. Sponsors who helped to make the event possible include the Westfield Police Association, the Westfield Spanish American Association, Stop & Shop, Boys and Girls Club of Greater Westfield, MassDOT, Noble Hospital, Walmart, New England Bike and Scuba and the Kiwanis Club.

LOCAL LOTTERY

Girls told to close lemonade stand for lack of permit OVERTON, Texas (AP) — Two Texas girls whose lemonade stand was shut down because they lacked a permit will instead offer the drink for free.

Television station KLTV reports that 8-year-old Andria Green and her 7-year-old sister, Zoey, will take only donations for lemonade Saturday in Overton, about 120 miles east of Dallas.

A police officer on Monday approached the stand, which offered lemonade for 50 cents and “kettle korn” for $1.

In patrol-car video, the officer can be heard asking the girls’ mother, Sandi Evans, for a permit. She says she wasn’t aware they needed one.

A family friend went to City Hall to get one. Authorities waived the $150 fee, but said health department officials needed to inspect the stand.

Overton’s police chief says police must follow state health guidelines.

O

n June 12, 1965, the British government announced that The Beatles would each be made an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) by Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace later in the year; the selection sparked criticism, with some MBEs returning their medals in protest.

ON THIS DATE: In 1776, Virginia’s colonial legislature became the first to adopt a Bill of Rights.

In 1920, the Republican national convention, meeting in Chicago, nominated Warren G. Harding for president on the tenth ballot; Calvin Coolidge was nominated for vice president.

In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge was nominated for a term of office in his own right at the Republican national convention in Cleveland. (Coolidge had become president in 1923 upon the sudden death of Warren G. Harding.)

In 1939, the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum was dedicated in Cooperstown, New York.

In 1942, Anne Frank, a German-born Jewish girl living in Amsterdam, received a diary for her 13th birthday, less than a month before she and her family went into hiding from the Nazis.

In 1956, the Flag of the United States Army was officially adopted under an executive order signed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

In 1963, civil rights leader Medgar Evers, 37, was shot and killed outside his home in Jackson, Mississippi. (In 1994, Byron De La Beckwith was convicted of murdering Evers and sentenced to life in prison; he died in 2001.)

One of Hollywood’s most notoriously expensive productions, “Cleopatra,” starring Elizabeth Taylor, Richard

Burton and Rex Harrison, opened in New York.

In 1964, South African black nationalist Nelson Mandela was sentenced to life in prison along with seven other people, including Walter Sisulu, for committing sabotage against the apartheid regime (all were eventually released, Mandela in 1990).

In 1967, the Supreme Court, in Loving v. Virginia, struck down state laws prohibiting interracial marriages.

In 1975, an Indian court found Prime Minister Indira Gandhi guilty of electoral corruption and barred her from holding office for six years; Gandhi rejected calls for her to resign.

In 1987, President Ronald Reagan, during a visit to the divided German city of Berlin, publicly challenged Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev to “tear down this wall.”

In 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were slashed to death outside her Los Angeles home.

(O.J. Simpson was later acquitted of the killings in a criminal trial, but was eventually held liable in a civil action.) Boeing’s new 777 jetliner went on its first test flight.

TEN YEARS AGO:

Vice President Dick Cheney, reacting to a growing chorus of calls to close the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, told Fox News Channel there were no plans to do so. American-educated professor and women’s rights activist Massouma al-Mubarak was named Kuwait’s first female Cabinet minister. At the LPGA Championship, Annika Sorenstam closed with a 1-over 73 for a threeshot victory over Michelle Wie, who shot a 69 to finish second.

FIVE YEARS AGO:

A French fishing vessel rescued 16-year-old Abby Sunderland from her crippled sailboat in the turbulent

southern Indian Ocean, ending the California teen’s attempt to sail around the world solo. Ethnic riots wracked southern Kyrgyzstan, forcing thousands of Uzbeks to flee as their homes. Daniel Nava hit the first pitch he saw as a big leaguer for a grand slam — only the second player to do it — leading the Boston Red Sox to a 10-2 rout of the Philadelphia Phillies.

ONE YEAR AGO:

During a tightly controlled tour of a converted warehouse at Port Hueneme, California, a government official said the number of migrant children housed at the facility after they were caught entering the country illegally could more than triple to 575 by the following week. The World Cup opened in Brazil with the home team beating Croatia, 3-1, after a funky opening ceremony featuring Jennifer Lopez and dancers dressed as trees.

2 charged with conspiring to help IS group with Boston man BOSTON (AP) — A criminal complaint says two men are charged with conspiring to help the Islamic State group by plotting with a Boston terror suspect to kill U.S. citizens to support the group’s objectives.

Nicholas Rovinski, of Warwick, Rhode Island, was arrested Thursday. David Wright, of Everett, Massachusetts, was arrested last week.

Both men are charged with conspiring with Usaama Rahim, who was killed last week by terror investigators who had him under surveillance. Authorities say Rahim lunged at police with a military-style knife.

Rovinski and Wright were charged Friday with conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists.

The criminal complaint says the men initially planned to behead a political activist whom law enforcement officials have identified as blogger Pamela Geller. But the complaint says Rahim later decided he would attack police.

Mother of Boston terrorism suspect speaks out BOSTON (AP) — The mother of a Boston man shot and killed by terrorism investigators says she never saw any signs that her son had become radicalized.

Rahimah Rahim is the mother of Usaamah Rahim, who was shot June 2 after authorities say he lunged at law enforcement with a military-style knife. Rahim had been under 24-hour surveillance because authorities allege he sympathized with radical Islam and planned to kill police officers.

Rahimah Rahim tells WCVB-TV (http://bit.ly/1JK6nQK ) she discussed with her son about Islamic State and people involved in “criminal activities,” and he rejected such activities as “un-Islamic.”

She also questioned law enforcement’s claims he had a knife when he was shot. She says she can’t see a knife in the surveillance video of the shooting.

She says she now has trouble trusting the police.

Pipeline protestors dominate DPU hearing

By RICHIE DAVIS Greenfield Recorder Staff GREENFIELD – People who spoke at a three-hour state Department of Public Utilities hearing Thursday night sounded off about the agency’s process itself, in addition to the Northeast Energy Direct project proposed by the Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co., which would cut through western Massachusetts.

In a nearly packed Greenfield Middle School auditorium, the hearing was overwhelmingly dominated by opponents of the pipeline, and of the long-term contract Berkshire Gas Co. is seeking state approval for in order to buy some of that natural gas. The Greenfield hearing was added to the department’s schedule only after it was formally requested by Senate President Stanley Rosenberg of Amherst.

Berkshire Gas is seeking DPU approval for its agreement with Tennessee Gas Pipeline to provide up to 36,000 dekatherms of natural gas per day effective Nov. 1, 2018. Boston Gas Co., National Grid and Columbia Gas Co. also are seeking approval from the DPU for similar contracts for gas from the planned 430-mile pipeline. Berkshire has imposed a moratorium on accepting new customers or expanded service until the Northeast Energy Direct project is approved and in service.

Tennessee Gas Pipeline is part of Houston-based Kinder Morgan. The pipeline would cross Plainfield in Hampshire County and eight Franklin County towns on its way from Pennsylvania to Dracut.

Several of the more than 40 people who testified before hearing officer Laurie Ellen Weisman on Thursday questioned whether the contracts would be in the best interests of gas company customers.

Rosemary Wessel and others pointed to the pending purchase of the holding company for Berkshire Gas by Spanish-based Iberdrola, along with Iberdrola’s recent agreement to buy 1 billion cubic feet of liquefied natural gas a year, and also the recent approval of an LNG terminal in Nova Scotia that would be a customer of the planned pipeline.

“Berkshire Gas ultimatums, only consider one possible solution,” she said, referring to the company’s moratorium. “To state a 2.2 billion-cubic-feet-a-day pipeline is the only answer to capacity constraint without any accounting for increasing their own efficiency and conservation program, without accounting for any reduction of distribution system needs is unconscionable, and ignoring leaks and the opportunity to increase energy efficiency for its customers is negligent.”

Many on Thursday criticized the DPU for rejecting a proposed intervention by a coalition of municipalities, legislators and Massachusetts Pipeline Awareness Network, and also ignoring an attorney general’s request to halt the proceedings until four related DPU files are acted on.

“As you may be coming to understand, people have a visceral reaction to this pipeline proposal, and to any company that wants to be a part of it,” state Rep. Stephen Kulik, D-Worthington, testified Thursday. “Frankly, many are offended by the disrespect with which Berkshire Gas and Kinder Morgan have treated our communities and the citizens who have raised serious and legitimate concerns and questions about this project.

“And they are puzzled and concerned that the DPU appears to be bending over backward to accommodate the gas companies’ and Kinder Morgan’s schedules,” he added. “The department has rejected changes requested by the attorney general that might have allowed time for meaningful scrutiny of the proposed agreement. The department denied the Conservation Law Foundation’s request for just an additional week to prepare testimony.”

“To us, this sounds like the hearing officer has already prejudged these cases,” Irvine Sobelman of Northampton told the DPU. “And we don’t see any sign that the prejudgment is about (the pipeline) being a poor fit for the public interest — which, of course, we would support because we find this to be the overriding truth of the situation.”

Hillary Hoffman, a member of the Greenfield Town Council, which was part of the joint intervention rejected by the DPU, told the hearing, “I find it disturbing that anyone would challenge the right of property owners, community members, utility customers, and taxpayers to participate in a fair and open process. As we bear the risk, the burden, and ultimately, the expense. … But if you’re taking our tax dollars, and we’re paying our energy bills, you work for us. And here’s what many of us want — we want Berkshire Gas to pursue alternatives, not issue ultimatums and surprise moratoriums.”

Only two of the nearly 40 speakers made comments favoring the pipeline and the case before the DPU. Along with Greenfield Town Councilor Isaac Maas, saying additional gas was needed to fuel industrial growth in the town, Chelsea Furlon was one of about 30 members of Laborers’ International Union of North America Local 596 who turned up wearing orange shirts reading, “Our Jobs are On the Line.”

“I support the pipeline. This is our Big Dig,” she told the gathering, which broke into heckling. “I work every day. I work so hard. And I never was told it was wrong until I came here and listened to these people.”

Conway Select Board member Jim Moore was one of about a dozen local officials who spoke. “We are here to make you

Tefft said the southwest corner of the parking lot, adjacent to the upper Westfield Vocational Technical High School campus, along the rear of the Bullens’ grandstand and closest to King Street Extension,will be regraded to accommodate handicapped access to the sidewalk leading down to the gate area.

Inside the gate a new ramping systems will be installed, as well as handrails on both the new ramp and existing steps, and that the current ticket both will be moved from the west side of the steps to the east side. The relocation of the ticket booth will require the removal of a large tree now located between the steps and the grandstand.

Tefft said that $50,000 needed to repair the backstop of the ballfield was removed from the bond premium request and will be included in a $4 million bond request submitted to the council at the May 7 session by Mayor Daniel M. Knapik for rehabilitation and constriction of municipal outdoor recreational and athletic facilities.

The Finance Committee voted 2-0 to give that funding request a positive recommendation at the May 18 City Council session.

COMMENT

pulseline@thewestfieldnews.com Parents and citizens of Westfield we need to wake up! There are 42 positions in the school system being lost. Do we realize the impact that will have on our children? From 3113the sounds of it ,the losses will be classroom teachers and paraprofessionals that impact our children daily with learning. Having even bigger sized classrooms is not the makings of good education.

Children need help and attention that is done with smaller classes . These teachers are already pushed to the limit. We can not keep doing this. I urge you to go to the school committee meeting , Monday, June 15,2015. Tell the school committee teachers matter, good quality education matters. Ask the superintendent exactly what positions are being cut.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Save Our Rivers This Summer In the year 2015, one might think that certain fundamental rights are no longer up for discussion, but sadly this is not the case. Even the right to clean water is apparently up for negotiation, as currently the new Clean Water Act rules are up for vote right now in the US Senate.

This summer, I have been lucky enough to work with Environment Massachusetts in their Amherst office, and have been learning about the story of the fight for clean water in the United States. Originally enacted in 1972, this act has had loopholes carved into it by polluting industries that leave 4,200 miles of rivers and streams in Massachusetts open to pollution, and over 2 million miles nationwide. These rivers and streams affect the drinking water of 5 million Bay Staters and 117 million Americans. That’s one in three Americans, in case anyone was wondering.

Clean water is not only essential for drinking, but also a lot of life’s other enterprises. You need clean water to swim, to fish, to brew. You need clean water to grow food, flowers, most anything. Polluted water not only has a negative impact on the people who use it, but also for the ecosystems that rely on that water. Pollutants dumped into rivers have been linked to the dramatic decrease in bee population, as these bees suffer from contact with neurotoxins in water.

Right now, the new Clean Water Act rules have been endorsed by the executive administration and the EPA. We have until the end of the summer to convince senators across the country that clean water is a right, not at the mercy of big business. The drinking water of one in three Americans is not a luxury, reserved for those who can pay for it, it’s drinking water. Senators Warren and Markey have already pledged their support for this effort, but support is not enough. As other senators waiver, we need ours to advocate, and get other senators on board. The best way to convince our senators is to contact them. Tweet them (@elizabethforma, @EdMarkey), write them, call them (413-788-2690, 413-785-4610). They are elected officials, and their constituents’ voices matter.

Downing receives 2015 Green Star Award from the Environmental League of Massachusetts.

BOSTON – State Senator Benjamin B. Downing (D- Pittsfield) was honored with the 2015 Green Star Award from the Environmental League of Massachusetts (ELM) during Tuesday’s Earth Night spring gala in Boston.

With over 300 environmental, business and labor leaders in attendance, ELM singled out Downing as an “Environmental Champion” for his leadership as Senate chair of the Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities, and Energy. In introducing the Senator, Nancy Goodman, ELM’s Vice President for Policy, noted Downing’s sponsorship of legislation for a diversified energy portfolio, increasing renewable energy and energy efficiency, pension fund divestment from fossil fuels, and a ramp up in free home energy audits.

ELM President George Bachrach added, “Senator Downing not only represents his district exceedingly well, but he has become a state and national leader for an enlightened 21st century energy policy.”

Downing has served as the Senate chair of the Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities & Energy since 2011.

“Everything in the Legislature is a team effort,” said Downing.

“If I have been effective it's because of the support of my colleagues and constituents, as well as partners like ELM who have come together to help Massachusetts lead the way. Our work is not done and I look forward to doing all I can to expedite our transition to a clean energy economy.”

The Environmental League of Massachusetts is dedicated to protecting the health of our environment and citizenry by safeguarding the land, water and air of our Commonwealth. ELM is focused on environmental advocacy and strengthening the voice and effectiveness of the environmental community. ELM advocates for strong environmental laws and regulations on a broad range of environmental issues, voices the concerns of citizens, ensures that laws are properly implemented and enforced, and educates the public.

In a town that churns with lobbyists and special interests groups, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority has temporarily yanked all political, religious and other issue ads.

Whether the ban is unconstitutional is up for debate.

The D.C.-area transportation agency recently said the move would prohibit all “issue-oriented” ads for the rest of the year. The ban was announced after an organization, the American Freedom Defense Initiate, submitted a cartoon depicting the Prophet Muhammad to run in some Metro stations and on buses.

The cartoon was the winning entry from a “Draw Muhammad” event in Garland, Texas, that led to a fatal shooting. AFDI’s president, Pamela Geller, said WMATA’s ban is “unconstitutional” and should end immediately.

When asked whether the ban was in direct response to the cartoon, WMATA spokesperson Morgan Dye says, “I don’t believe it was. Pamela Geller, nor her organization came up during the board meeting in which this decision was discussed.”

WMATA said the ban will be reviewed at the end of the year despite objections by the ACLU, which says a ban may infringe on free speech.

“In the ACLU’s view, it would be unfortunate for WMATA to impose a permanent ban on issue advertisements because that would eliminate an important forum for the communication of ideas among citizens,” said Monica

Hopkins-Maxwell, executive director of the ACLU of D.C. “Banning all issueoriented speech because some of it is offensive or hateful is throwing out the baby with the bath water,” she said.

WMATA, however, considers its advertising space a public forum, and has stated that the temporary ban is in place while the transit agency reviews its public policy.

The ad has sparked controversy beyond the tunnels of Metro. The Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors hate groups and other extremists in the United States, has labeled the New York-based group an anti-Muslim hate group.

Heidi Beirich, director of the Intelligence Project at the SPLC, said Geller is hiding behind free speech while trying to bash Muslims.

“When she’s exercising her free speech, what she’s saying is terrible things about Muslims,” Beirich said.

“People who hate groups of human beings do it for all types of reasons. [A hate group is] any organization considering another group to be inherently lesser.”

Still, some courts have ruled in Geller’s favor. In 2012, the AFDI’s campaign, “Killing Jews is worship that draws us close to Allah,” was launched in the New York subway system. After Geller filed a lawsuit over an initial rejection, a judge ruled that the MTA standards violated the First Amendment.

Recently, AFDI unveiled a new freespeech billboard campaign featuring a Muhammad cartoon in St. Louis. That campaign depicted Muhammad saying, “You can’t draw me!” with a hand holding a pen in reply, “That’s why I draw you.”

Geller said she believes it’s important

to inform the public. “Islamic jihadists, not I, made Muhammad cartoons the flashpoint for the defense of the freedom of speech when they began killing over them,” she said. “If we don’t stand against them on that point, the only alternative is surrender and submission.”

Local metro riders have different opinions about the ban. Some think there should be a system that is more selective about which ads WMATA decides to display. Others say they don’t mind as long as ads aren’t making others feel uncomfortable or unsafe.

Metro train rider Brian Linville of Pittsburg said, “I generally disagree with the banning of any [issue] ads. I would imagine it’s not constitutional, but my wife’s the lawyer, not me.”

Veronica Kwok of Annapolis, Maryland, said she thinks a Capitalist approach might be the best way to go.

“They could promote solely government activities like the zoo or the art museum,” she says.

One metro bus rider from Virginia who called himself Chris H., said he thinks the ban would be along the fine line of free speech. “Everyone should have a right to take a position,” he says.

“I think it’s unfortunate. Hopefully, all that stuff’s getting reviewed. If it’s a hate group or racially charged, then I think that should not be allowed.”

The Sikh Coalition, however, said that anyone has the constitutional right to engage in hate speech. “The rest of us have a constitutional right to engage in counter-speech that promotes unity, love and interfaith solidarity,” said Sapreet Kaur, the coalition’s executive director.

“As Americans, we are strongest as a nation when we respect and support each other.”

What did the big banks know about FIFA? “It’s a question of whether there was a systematic looking the other way.”

By MARY PILON Politico.com BROOKLYN — In its 164-page indictment, the Department of Justice paints a picture of FIFA, the world governing body for soccer, as an organization with questionable bank statements, a maze of wire transfers and at times, one that even did business using envelopes stuffed with cash. A whole section of the document even focused solely on “the centrality of the U.S. financial system.”

Prosecutors mention no fewer than a dozen major financial institutions in their indictment, including some of the biggest names in global finance: Citibank, Bank of America, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., Barclays, and HSBC, to name a few.

But what was the role of the banks in the FIFA scandal and what responsibility do they have going forward?

The world of soccer has mirrored that of global finance, as it represents an increasingly complex network of cross-national relationships, entangled in an often mutually beneficial web. While investigators indicted nine FIFA officials and five corporate executives, they have said that their investigation is “ongoing,” leaving open the possibility that in addition to FIFA’s longtime head, Sepp Blatter, other indictments may be afoot.

The conspirators, the Department said, “relied on the broader strength and stability of the U.S. financial system, including access to the private equity markets.” In a press conference last month, Kelly T. Currie, acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, said that “part of our investigation will look at the conduct of the financial institutions to see whether they were cognizant of the fact they were helping launder these bribe payments.”

Spokespersons for Chase and HSBC did not respond to requests for comment. Spokesmen for Barclays and Bank of America declined to comment. “We have been cooperating with the Justice Department during their investigation,” a spokesman for Citi said in a statement.

To the extent there were odd transfers of money, the banks have some obligation to report those in suspicious activity reports.

Financial institutions, be they of the small, hometown USA flavor or the large, multinational megabank kind, have a responsibility to “know their customer,” Edwin Truman, a fellow with the Peterson Institute for International Economics

said. Truman has also served as assistant secretary of the U.S. Treasury for International Affairs and on a variety of working groups focused on transparency in financial institutions.

“In this case,” Truman said, “they probably knew their customers, but the question is what they knew. To the extent there were odd transfers, the banks have some obligation to report those in suspicious activity reports, which we may or may not know if they’ve done. That’s a judgment call.”

Historically, banks have encountered legal trouble for doing business with dictators or governments that the U.S. Treasury has deemed unworthy, such as entities in countries like Libya, Syria, North Korea and Burma. In 2004, Senate investigators charged Riggs Bank (today part of PNC Financial Services) with helping Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet hide millions in assets from international prosecutors. In 2012, HSBC paid $1.9 billion (€1.69 billion) in fines to settle charges that it had permitted narcotics traffickers and others to launder hundreds of millions of dollars through its subsidiaries. Around the same time, Standard Chartered paid $670 million (€595 million) to See Big Banks, Page 5

Court Logs Westfield District Court Wednesday, June 10, 2015 Kyanna Harris-Hairston, 18, of 47 Broad St., Apt. 15, was released on her own recognizance pending an August 12 hearing after being arraigned on charges of leaving the scene of property damage brought by Westfield State University police.

Carlos Gonzalez, 32, of 55 Maple St., #2, Springfield, had charges of operating a motor

Big Banks U.S. regulators to settle charges that it had violated sanctions by doing business in Iran.

“It’s a question of whether there was a systematic looking the other way,” Truman said. “That would be a problem.”

While soccer fans have long lamented the headlines about corruption issues with FIFA, the organization was not on the Treasury’s banned list. The FIFA transactions, while significant sums to an individual, appear to have been relatively small for an organization of $5.718 billion (€5,057 billion) in revenue from 2011 to 2014 and were spread out over several years, according to the indictment.

Investigators and banks find it more beneficial to cooperate with federal officials, as investigators would receive more information about the FIFA people in the case and the banks could reduce any potential penalties. “If you’re the money laundering officer or compliance officer at one of those banks,” Truman said, “you’ve spent a lot of time in the CEO’s office by now.”

The crime of mail or wire fraud requires a “specific intent” to defraud, according to John Coffee, a professor at Columbia Law School. “So far, I have not seen any credible scenario that banks were intending to defraud anyone.

This is not a money laundering kind of case where they were stripping the Iranian senders’ identities off the transfers. Clear as the fraudulent intent of some individuals may have been at FIFA, I cannot transfer their guilt to

The most likely scenario is that the banks were unwitting facilitators, said Dennis M. Lormel, a consultant with DML Associates who previously worked with the FBI on issues involving terrorism finance-prevention. But the specifics are unlikely to come out; because of the Bank Secrecy Act, whether a bank flags a transaction as suspicious is usually not disclosed.

“Even though there were longstanding accusations,” Lormel said, “FIFA is a very successful entity and they associated with high-level people. It’s not until you blow it apart that you have this image of an incredible culture of corruption in place.

The banks need to look back and say, ‘how did that get through us?’”

The most likely scenario is that the banks were unwitting facilitators, according to a former FBI investigator of fraud.

However, Lormel pointed to last year’s Michael J. Garcia report alleging corruption at the league as something that ideally should have been noticed by banks interacting with FIFA. But he also pointed to the organization’s unique structure as a nongovernmental, multi-billion dollar nonprofit as something that may have allowed it to escape the same scrutiny that banks may use in examining other clients.

“I think from a social standpoint, there are still a lot of questions that need to be answered,” he said. “FIFA was in a position of trust. And they betrayed that trust.”

The FIFA scandal may

have another unintended consequence in de-risking, John Byrne, executive vice president of the Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists, said.

If a bank decides that the risk of doing business with a certain type of customer or in a certain part of the world outweighs the benefit of offering services there, they may pull back. With FIFA now in the crosshairs of federal prosecutors, it’s possible that other banks may be less eager to welcome accounts from the group or related organizations, he said.

“Banks have to take risks in the decision of taking on customers,” he said. “One thing that banks look at is negative news in making decisions. If there’s a theme, it becomes a close question.”

He added, “Banks spend millions of dollars on all of these programs and processes to look for illegal things. But at the end of the day, they’re banks, not law enforcement.“ Yet soccer’s banking concerns are far from new. In 2009, the Financial Action Task Force, an inter-governmental policy-making body focused on preventing money laundering and terrorist financing, made money laundering in soccer the focus of an entire report.

“The joke now,” Byrne said, “is that finally Americans care about soccer.”

Ware man dies in Holyoke construction zone accident HOLYOKE, Mass. (AP) — The construction worker struck and killed by a dump truck in a work zone on Interstate 91 in Holyoke this week has been identified as a Ware resident.

State police say the man killed at about 3 a.m. Wednesday was 51-year-old Richard O’Riley.

The preliminary investigation indicates that a truck contracted by a paving company was backing up when it struck O’Riley.

Newspaper company asks judge to unseal Hernandez documents FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) — Newspaper company GateHouse Media is asking a judge to unseal documents relating to a juror in ex-New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez’s recent murder trial in Massachusetts.

The newspaper publisher will go before a judge in Fall River Friday to argue that information about the unidentified juror must be made public. The company publishes several New England newspapers.

Hernandez lawyer James Sultan recently filed papers under seal requesting an inquiry into the juror’s “exposure to significant extraneous matter.”

New York-based GateHouse Media Inc. said last week the public has a right to review post-verdict proceedings, including information about a juror possibly exposed to information outside the courtroom.

Hernandez was convicted of the 2013 shooting death of acquaintance Odin (OH’dihn) Lloyd. The Bristol, Connecticut, native was sentenced to life in prison.

Troopers working the construction detail administered first aid but EMTs declared the victim dead at the scene.

The truck that struck O’Riley was driven by a 54-year-old Westfield man. The death remains under investigation and no charges have been filed.

O’Riley worked for Palmer Paving. The company said in a statement that it is “mourning the loss of one of our family members.”

Bridge linking Chicopee and Holyoke reopens, costs $26.5M HOLYOKE, Mass. (AP) — A bridge connecting Chicopee and Holyoke that's been closed for nearly four years has reopened.

The Willimansett Bridge opened Thursday in front of a crowd. The project was originally scheduled to be completed in May 2014. But the contractor went bankrupt halfway into construction.

Large trucks were prohibited from traveling on the 800-foot-long bridge due to structural problems, and nearby businesses complained that detoured traffic cost them businesses.

Northern Construction assumed the project after nine months and completed it ahead of schedule. Repairs to the 124-year-old bridge cost the Massachusetts Department of Transportation $26.5 million.

At right, this photo shows sunny yellow flowers that are just two of many qualities of a Father Hugo’s rose in New Paltz, N.Y. (Lee Reich via AP)

Father Hugo This sunny, early rose has a tough disposition

By LEE REICH Associated Press

A

fter showing his sunny face, Father Hugo has once again left for the season. Father Hugo the rose, that

is.

Distinctive foliage, however, earns the plant its keep throughout the summer.

Father Hugo is among the earliest roses to bloom, a floral hors d'oeuvre to the full-blown show that follows from hybrid tea, rambling and climbing roses.

Each of Father Hugo's blossoms opens with a single row of canary-yellow petals, the petals spreading to create a golden cup. Each bloom is a couple of inches across, and so charming that you can't really fault them for their lack of strong fragrance.

BEAUTY BEYOND JUST FLOWERS Early blooms with a sunny disposition are not the only qualities of this rose. Although the blossoms appear but once a season, the compound leaves, made up of a dozen or so leaflets, each only about a half-inch long,

lend the whole bush a delicate, ferny appearance. In some years and in some gardens, the leaves put on a decent autumn show as they turn red, yellow or purplish brown.

These leaves and flowers are borne on gracefully arching stems that form a clump 6 feet high and wide. The stem's mahoganybrown bark provides a pleasing foil for the light green color of the leaves. Thorns are thankfully few.

a rooted shoot from the outside edge of the clump.

(An attempt was made to give Father Hugo some "culture" when a variety named Dr. E.M. Mills was selected from the species. Its claim to fame was double blossoms — that is, more than just a single row of petals. Despite all those extra petals, Dr. E.M. Mills was considered inferior to the species and has been little heard of since its introduction in 1926.)

A WORTHY WILDING Father Hugo's rose is a "species" rose, a wild plant grown in gardens without any further improvement. Contrast this, for example, with "high bred" hybrid tea roses, which not only represent a melding of various species but then are selected and given individual names, like Peace, Mr. Lincoln or Chrysler Imperial. These named roses are multiplied by cuttings or grafting. As a species rose, Father Hugo can be propagated by just planting a seed, taking a cutting or even digging up

LOW MAINTENANCE As a species rose, Father Hugo has other qualities. You don't have to worry about a shoot from the rootstock growing and then overgrowing your plant. Most hybrid tea roses are grafted on special rootstocks. But any shoot springing up from near or at ground level of a Father Hugo's rose is the same as the rest of the plant. That's how the plant grows; new shoots rise up to eventually replace old shoots.

Like many other species roses — rugose

rose and prairie rose, as examples — Father Hugo is also tough and cosmopolitan. Give it full sun and it will be happy in most soils. No need to worry about black spot, mildew, and other pests that commonly plague hybrid tea and other "high bred" roses.

And cold? This rose tolerates temperatures down to minus 25 Fahrenheit.

You may, at this point, wonder just who this Father Hugo was, for whom the rose was named. He found this rose in the wilds of China, introducing it in 1899. The gentleman's real name was actually Hugh: the Reverend Hugh Scallan. "Hugh" became "hugonis" in the botanical name of the rose (Rosa hugonis), which became "Hugo" for the plant's common name when it entered the nursery trade.

Striking a balance: Are you paying for too much insurance?

By ALEX VEIGA AP Business Writer Saving money on homeowners insurance can often take a back seat.

Many homebuyers fail to comparison shop for the best policies, potentially missing out on a better deal elsewhere.

That means some may sign off on a policy that leaves them paying for more coverage than necessary to rebuild their home, or with too little coverage for antique furniture and other valuables.

“A lot of people go to one agent and they say ‘I’ve

shopped,’” said Bob Hunter, director of insurance at the Consumer Federation of America. But there’s no guarantee the agent will connect a homeowner with the most affordable insurance carrier, Hunter added.

Striking a balance between buying enough insurance to protect perhaps your biggest asset and keeping costs in check is feasible. Here are 4 steps you can take toward that goal.

1. BREAK IT DOWN The first step to identifying possible savings is to understand how the typical homeowners insurance policy is set up.

Take a single-family house

without any other structures on the property. Generally, a policy for such a home will have three main coverage areas: the structure, the owner’s personal belongings and liability against someone being injured on the property.

If the homeowner is paying off a mortgage on the home, the lender will require they carry insurance to cover the costs to fully rebuild the house. This will typically be the most costly component of the policy. Keep in mind that you’re only paying to cover replacement costs for the structure, not to recoup the market value of the home and land it’s built upon.

The second coverage area involves personal belongings such as furniture, housewares and rugs. Certain items, such as jewelry, a stamp collection and firearms, among others, will have coverage caps.

Another big component of homeowners insurance is liability coverage. This is meant to shield you should you be sued by someone who gets hurt on your property.

Beyond these categories, a homeowners policy can incorporate coverage for a host of other risks, or add-ons for coverage above caps.

Your costs will also depend on what part of the country you

live in, the projected expenses to rebuild your home, how much coverage you purchase and your deductible, among other factors.

2. SIZE UP COVERAGE NEEDS Your insurance costs depend largely on how much coverage you buy or are willing to do without.

Your insurance company will come up with the amount of coverage needed to fully replace your house and recommend you insure it for that amount.

Because construction costs are always changing it’s a good idea to review your policy annually to make sure your coverage hasn’t fallen below 80 percent of the cost to replace your home, suggests the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.

Homeowners get more leeway to select how much insurance they want to gird against liability and personal property losses. The less coverage, the more you save on premiums.

A detailed inventory of your belongings will help you determine how much coverage you need for your personal belongings. And if you need to buy additional protection beyond any policy caps.

icy. It’s really meant for the bigger things that would really devastate us financially,” said Laura Adams, senior insurance analyst at Insurancequotes.com, an insurance comparison website.

“We really need to weigh that premium against that potential claim.”

The NAIC has some guidelines for conducting an inventory and a worksheet here: http:// www.insureuonline.org/insureu_getready_newhome.htm .

3. SHOP AROUND Many homeowners reach out to an insurance agent who recommends one or more insurers.

Another option is to search your state insurance department website. It will typically list pricing information for the biggest insurers.

When discerning which is the lowest-cost policy, make sure you’re comparing the same coverage from carrier to carrier.

Hunter of the Consumer Federation of America also recommends finding a handful of the lower-cost carriers and then narrow them down further by checking their track record of consumer complaints on the NAIC website, https://eapps. naic.org/cis/ .

“You don’t necessarily need to talk to an agent,” Hunter said.

“You can start by talking to an insurance company directly.”

Even after you’ve been in your home a few years it pays to get quotes from other insurers and use it as a bargaining chip with your insurer to give you a better deal.

4. CONSIDER A HIGHER DEDUCTIBLE A recent study by Insurancequotes.com found that raising the homeowners insurance deductible to $2,000 from $500 can lower the annual premium in the U.S. by 16 percent, on average.

A deductible is the portion that is paid by the homeowner on a claim before the insurance policy kicks in. Still, don’t raise your deductible unless you have enough money saved to cover it in the event you have to file a claim.

COMMUNITY STUDIOS

Partnerships, programs provide space for artists to share

By JENNIFER FORKER Associated Press Emily Free Wilson was renting space in an old Helena, Montana, brick building where other artists worked, when she began hosting community events and kids’ summer art camps.

“I remember my friend, a sculptor, telling me, ‘Emily, ONLINE: you’re running an art center!’ www.breckcreate.org And I said, ‘No, I don’t want www.freeceramics.com to!’” Free Wilson recalls. www.platteforum.org Then she thought more www.ponyride.org about it: She did like sharing her space, organizing events and collaborating with other artists. So she and her husband, Matt Wilson, bought and renovated a former mortuary. In moved their company, Free Ceramics, which produces pottery notable for colorful, playful dots. Other artists — painters, a sculptor, a furniture refinisher and crafters — also moved in, lured by 90-cents-asquare-foot studio spaces.

Free Ceramics has rented its events and gallery space — with a vaulted ceiling and hardwood floors — for a squaredancing potluck fundraiser, a preschool graduation ceremony, a furniture refinishing class and more. The place is booming.

“It’s really important to have spaces like this in the world — places that encourage creativity and deepen that artistic spirit that people need to share,” says Free Wilson.

Unusual studio arrangements and community art centers exist nationwide to provide artists with free or reduced-cost space and a way to share their work with the public.

For example, the non-profit Ponyride has for several years provided space in a 30,000-square-foot Detroit warehouse to socially conscious artists and entrepreneurs at a mere 20 cents to 25 cents per square foot.

Now Ponyride is launching an artists-in-residency program: Vetted artists will receive a stipend, studio space and lodging at the warehouse. In return, they’ll need to document their work and provide a workshop or seminar for the community.

“We want them to leave their imprint on Detroit if they’re not from here,” says Ponyride Executive Director Karla Henderson.

In Denver, the non-profit PlatteForum hosts a single artist for two months four times a year. What the artist receives: free lodging, a stipend and ample studio space. In return, the artist provides open studio hours, and hosts an exhibit or workshop.

The program also links artists with Denver children who are struggling in school or don’t feel they fit in.

“They’re the kids at low-performing schools who need to re-engage in school and learning and in themselves,” says Judy Anderson, an artist and PlatteForum’s artistic director, who founded the non-profit in 2002. Collaborating with musicians, dancers, painters and poets, she hopes, will provide hope and direction for the children.

Multimedia artist Sarah Rockett of Denver said her recent PlatteForum residency allowed her to build larger-scale sculpture.

“I’ve never had the space to do so, and grew immensely from the experience,” says Rockett. “Working with the youth became the most important aspect for me. Their creative range anchored the playfulness of my work.”

A short drive from Denver, the town of Breckenridge, Colorado, provides artists with studio and living space in its BreckCreate program, which includes a new $10 million Breckenridge Arts District campus with studios for ceramic, glass, textile, and other local and guest artists to share their work. Artists from around the country are invited to work at this 1-acre arts campus for two to four weeks. Additionally, three small artists’ studios are available for $250 a month.

Artists from cities “love the idea of being in a mountain setting and being able to focus on their work,” says Robb Woulfe, BreckCreate’s president and CEO. “Everyone can be inspired in this environment.”

Painters, printmakers, and mixed-media and fiber artists from Indiana, California, Washington and Hawaii will work in Breckenridge this summer and early fall.

The payback for Breckenridge? Woulfe and town leaders hope an expanded arts culture will establish the ski town as a year-round arts destination.

Also providing artists with inexpensive work space: Grace Farms opens in October in New Canaan, Connecticut, in part to help artists pursue and share their artwork among 80 acres of woodlands, wetlands and meadows open to the public.

By GILLIAN FLACCUS JOHN ROGERS Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) — Pssst. Ready to water that beautiful lush lawn of yours?

The one that's the envy of the entire neighborhood.

If you live in Southern California, you'd better wait until after midnight. Preferably on a cloudy, new-moon night during a power outage when it's so dark even night-vision goggles won't give away your position. Otherwise, you could wind up the star of the latest drought-shaming video posted on YouTube or Twitter.

"Yeah, I put your address out there. The world is watching a lot more," says Tony Corcoran, one of several people who spend their spare time these days canvassing the tony communities of Beverly Hills, West Hollywood and elsewhere, looking for people wasting water during the worst California drought in recent memory.

Corcoran alone estimates he's put up on YouTube more than 100 videos of water-wasters, complete with their addresses.

Others tweet out addresses and photos of water scofflaws, using hashtags such as #DroughtShaming. Still others are snapping smartphone photos of them and sending them directly to authorities.

“If they thought we were doing something wrong, why not come knock on my door?”

it.

One woman, quickly tiring of Corcoran's lecture on conservation while she watered her plants, turned her hose on him.

In Beverly Hills, where he was showing a reporter and photographer water running down the street in front of a mansion, the angry resident called police. Two patrol cars quickly responded, but the officers took no action.

In Hollywood, Sam Bakman, who manages a condominium complex, said his building was recently shamed wrongly by somebody on Twitter over a broken sprinkler head that was quickly repaired. He showed a reporter the city-issued restrictions on watering and pointed out his sprinkler timers fall well within the guidelines.

"If they thought we were doing something wrong, why not come knock on my door?" he asked.

Corcoran, a restaurant group administrator who kept his New York attitude when he came to laid-back Los Angeles awhile ago, is unrepentant.

"The whole point is to get people to change, not to shame," he said.

With California in the fourth year of a drought with no end in sight, the governor has ordered everyone to use 25 percent less water, and drought shamers say the easiest way to accomplish that is to quit watering your yard. Or at least be careful about it and not let water spill into the street.

"I was a passenger in a car driving by, and first I noticed water down the street. And when we drove up, I saw the broken sprinkler head," said Patricia Perez of Eagle Rock who quickly tweeted out a picture of the mess. She also emailed it to the local water agency.

"When you're trying to do your best personally, and you're trying to conserve water, it's very irritating," she said of one of the reasons behind drought shaming.

Dan Estes, a Los Angeles real estate broker, has gone so far as to build his own free app, DroughtShame, that records the time and place where people see waste.

Unlike some other drought shamers, he doesn't believe in getting in people's faces or outing them to the world.

Instead, people who use his app send the information and a photograph to him, and he forwards it to the appropriate water agency.

"I drought shamed the preschool next to my apartment," Estes said. "Timer was off on their sprinklers. Those things were on for five hours, and the sidewalk was a river. I was non-confrontational, but at the same time, public."

Twenty minutes after he reported it, Estes said, the sprinklers were shut off.

By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – The Southwick-Tolland Regional High School softball team outslugged Wahconah in the Western Massachusetts Division 2 semifinals 12-hits-to-five. Six costly errors and timely hits from the Warriors befell the Rams though in a 6-5 loss Thursday at UMass-Amherst.

It was a highly competitive, action-packed affair.

Both teams threatened in each half of every inning from the outset, until No. 2 Southwick (19-3) finally cracked the goose eggs on the scoreboard with a two-spot in the bottom of the third inning.

Jenn Yelin got things started for Southwick in the third with a one-out single. Katelyn Sylvia followed with a booming RBI triple to deep right center field. Victoria Della Giustina hit a sac-RBI for a 2-0 advantage.

The lead was short-lived.

In the top of the fourth, an RBI triple from Juliane McBain, an RBI walk from Jamie Downer, and Chloe Warren’s two-run single – Warren ripped a liner to left field – allowed Wahconah to go up 4-2. Two Southwick errors

helped extend the inning and fuel the third-seeded Warriors’ final two runs (both unearned).

Wahconah (19-3) padded its lead in the fifth inning with two more unearned runs.

Southwick scraped back one run in the bottom of the sixth. Alyssa Kelleher hit a two-out single, and was pinch run for by Makenzie Sullivan. Sullivan stole second base, and scored on Brittany Penland’s RBI single to center field.

Southwick rallied for two more runs in the bottom of the seventh, but fell a run short of a tie.

Sam Burzynski reached on a lead-off error. Jenn Yelin singled. Southwick pulled within two runs of a tie, 6-4, on a fielder’s choice. Della Giustina singled. The Rams rallied to within one run on a fielder’s choice.

The game ended when Southwick’s lead base runner was thrown out at second attempting to get into scoring position with two outs.

“Too many errors,” Southwick coach Todd Downie said. “Twelve hits is a lot of hits. (Southwick) had a good season. They’re not used to playing from behind. They definitely showed character … I thought we were ready for it.

Farrell, Miley shout it out as Red Sox fall to Orioles

By DAVID GINSBURG AP Sports Writer BALTIMORE (AP) — John Farrell made a decision. Wade Miley didn’t like it.

The argument that ensued added a healthy measure of intrigue to Boston’s latest loss.

Miley gave up three solo home runs before being pulled, and the last-place Red Sox lost to the Baltimore Orioles 6-5 Thursday night.

Miley (5-6) allowed five runs and nine hits over four innings. After finishing the fourth, the lefthander engaged in a heated exchange with Farrell in the dugout after being told he was being removed from the game.

Still screaming, Miley walked into the tunnel with the manager in pursuit.

“You work four days for your start — he didn’t want to come out of the game. That’s his competitive spirit coming through,” Farrell said. “I fully respect that. I thought he had good stuff overall, but where we were in the game I thought we needed a change in contrast, change of style, so we made a move.”

Miley said: “When you pitch every five days, you get an opportunity (and) you want it to last as long as possible. It stings a little bit, but that’s part of the game.”

Asked if the two had settled their differences, Miley said, “We’re all men in here. I’m competing on my end, he’s competing on his end. It’s over.”

David Ortiz hit his seventh home run and Pablo Sandoval had two RBIs for Boston, which lost twice by one run in Baltimore’s three-game sweep. The defeat dropped the Red Sox a season-high seven games under .500 (27-34) for the third time.

Although the eighth-inning solo shot by Ortiz went for naught, it ended his run of 69 at-bats without a home run.

Adam Jones, Nolan Reimold and Manny Machado all connected off Miley, who left with Boston trailing 5-3.

“The pitch I needed to make in certain counts I just wasn’t executing,” the lefty said. “It was mistakes.”

Chris Tillman (4-7) gave up four runs in 5 2-3 innings to improve his career record against the Red Sox to 9-3.

“It could have been better. It could have been worse,” the right-hander said of his performance.

After Chaz Roe yielded the homer to Ortiz that made it 6-5, Zach Britton worked the ninth for his 17th save.

Baltimore was celebrating the victory when a replay overturned the apparent third out on a close play at first base. Undaunted, Britton struck out

Dustin Pedroia to end it.

The Orioles executed several defensive gems on Wednesday night and continued the trend in the first inning of this one. Reimold chased down a liner to make a running catch near the left-field wall, and Machado snared a sharp grounder to third before making the throw from the outfield grass.

Jones hit his 10th home run in the bottom half, and Steve Pearce added an RBI single in the Baltimore second.

Reimold led off the third with his first homer since last August. Jones followed with a double and Delmon Young singled past the drawn-up infield for a 4-0 lead.

Tillman retired the first nine Boston batters before the Red Sox loaded the bases with no outs in the fourth. After Mike Napoli delivered a sacrifice fly, Sandoval doubled in two runs.

Machado connected in the bottom half to make it 5-3.

GOING DEEP Red Sox: Ortiz’s HR was No. 473 of his 17-year

career and tied him with Carlos Delgado for 31st place on the career home run list. Ortiz has five homers over his last six games at Camden Yards.

Orioles: Reimold, who was signed to a minor league contract in February, was recalled on Tuesday. The homer was his first as an Oriole since July 10, 2013.

TRAINERS ROOM Red Sox: OF Shane Victorino, who went on the DL May 24 with a left calf strain, is “getting closer” to beginning a rehab assignment, Farrell said.

Orioles: RHP Miguel Gonzalez was placed on the DL with a strained right groin.

ON DECK Red Sox: Boston returns home to face the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night. Joe Kelly (2-4) starts for the Red Sox, who are 15-14 at Fenway Park and 12-20 on the road.

Orioles: Ubaldo Jimenez (3-3) takes the mound against the first-place New York Yankees in the opener of a three-game set at Camden Yards.

Annie’s Mailbox

By KATHY MITCHELL and MARCY SUGAR

Stay or Go?

Dear Annie: Two years ago, I married “Will.” We were both widowed. I had a good job, a nice home and a car. Will was retired and wanted someone to travel with, so I chose to retire in order to spend time with him. He didn’t like my home, so I sold it. He already had three cars and said we didn’t need a fourth, and because he preferred his cars to mine (even though mine was newer and paid for), I sold that, too. All I asked was that he provide lifetime rights to his home if something were to happen to him. He agreed and had a will made to reflect that.

Here’s the problem: Two months after the marriage, we had a disagreement, and he threatened to change the will. He told me to leave because it was (SET ITAL) his (END ITAL) house.

He has since made the same threat numerous times. I am not allowed to make any changes to the house without his approval, which he rarely gives. I found out he was cheating on me, and when I confronted him, he hid the car keys and told me to get out. I called my sister to pick me up. Of course, as always, he was sorry and begged me to stay.

I have asked Will to sell this house so we could buy something that belongs to both of us. I told him it would make me feel more secure. He absolutely refused. I asked that he add my name to the deed, and he refused that, too. Now he yells at me that I only married him for his money. Annie, there isn’t enough money in the world to put up with this.

Will says he loves me, but I get the impression he loves his house and money more. I told him if he doesn’t make some changes, I am leaving. All I want is some security. Am I wrong? -- Stay or Go? Dear Stay or Go: Please go. You will never feel secure with Will. He is not trustworthy and considers the marriage a power struggle that he has to win. He will threaten to disinherit you every time you have a disagreement. He will say he is sorry because he doesn’t want to lose control over you. This is a recipe for years of misery.

See a lawyer and find out what you need to do to protect yourself financially. Then pack your bags. If your sister will take you, we recommend letting her help until you get back on your feet. And please don’t ever put yourself in such a vulnerable position again.

Dear Annie: I read the interesting responses for the nickname Dick. However, what has me more perplexed is how Peggy came from Margaret. Can you help? -- Perplexed Dear Perplexed: Margaret is a popular name in many countries, but the shortened forms “Meggie” and “Meg” are specifically Scottish.

“Peggy” is a variant nickname for “Meggie,” and “Peg” is the same for “Meg.” Margaret, in fact, has a huge number of nicknames, including Madge, Maisie, Marge, Megan, Margot, Molly and some that seem less closely connected, such as Rita and Greta (from Margarita or Margaretta) and Daisy (from the French Marguerite, which is also the French name for the oxeye daisy).

Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@creators.com.

HINTS FROM HELOISE UNCLOG Dear Heloise: I discovered that pouring a bucket of water down the toilet just as it begins to swirl after flushing generally dislodges a clog. -- Buckeye Gal, Mansfield, Ohio This may help with a “slow” toilet or minor clog, but be sure that the toilet will NOT overflow. It’s not always a simple fix. Turn off the water at the base of the commode BEFORE doing this, just in case! Don’t use hot water, either. -- Heloise THROWBACK THURSDAY Today’s Throwback Thursday hint is from June 1980: “Dear Heloise: To get dirty, grimy hands clean, try this simple solution: Work up lather with soap and warm water, then add a spoonful of sugar. Rub hands vigorously, then rinse. Presto! All the grime and dirt is gone. Hands get clean very quickly!” -- E. Strout SCENTED STEM Dear Heloise: Here is my hint: If the stems on your artificial flowers are too short, use cinnamon sticks to lengthen them. Most stems will fit in the holes. Smells good, too! -- Shelley Griffith, Richlands, Va. REUSE HINT Dear Heloise: I save the plastic dosage cups from medicine bottles. In case of a small cut on the fingertip or thumb, I fill these cups with peroxide and soak the finger until clean. This is sanitary and helps ease soreness and pain. -- Roy W., Morganton, N.C. Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise(at)Heloise.com. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, June 12, 2015: This year you become more in touch with the real you. You will spend a lot of time reflecting, but sooner or later you will have come to terms with certain issues in your life. You might want to do some volunteer work just to get out of yourself more often. If you are single, check out anyone you meet this year with care. Someone very desirable easily could be different from how he or she seems.

Time is your ally. If you are attached, as a couple, you will benefit from a vacation away together. You can strengthen your bond in this setting. TAURUS makes an excellent healer for you.

ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You might sense a haze rising around a difficult issue that you would prefer to let go of. You can walk away from it for now, but in several months the problem will re-emerge. Deal with a money matter, but curb a tendency to go overboard. Tonight: Your treat.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Your mood brightens as the day grows older. Even if a certain goal or desire does not land in your lap today, you will be one step closer to reaching it. A roommate or family member will play a significant role in what happens. Tonight: Music, friends and Friday combine.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH After the high energy of the past few days, you could be taken aback by how much things have slowed down. Play it low-key with others. You are best on a one-on-one level with a loved one. Use care with someone you meet today!

Tonight: Make your vanishing act special.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Don’t lose focus with your main objectives. You’ll want to clear out as much as you can in order to enter the weekend with a smile. Your sense of direction plays a significant role in what occurs. A meeting could set the tone for the weekend. Tonight: Where the crowds are.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH A partner seems to preoccupy your thoughts. You will want to take care of errands and some other matters that could be preventing you from being with this person. A loved one might be holding back, but don’t force this person’s hand. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You might want to rethink a decision that could put you in a difficult situation if you are not careful. Detach. A partner might be sitting on his or her feelings, or perhaps he or she is not even aware of them yet. Relax. This, too, will pass. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Defer to a partner, as this person needs experience with seeing that his or her way is not the only way. You could feel pushed to the max if you are not careful. Learn the word “no,” and use it. Take the lead with a project if you must.

Tonight: Confusion reigns.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You could be the recipient of a lot of attention. You might not be sure how to handle a difficult associate. Tap into your imagination, and everything will work out just fine. Reach out to a friend who seems a bit closed-off. Tonight: Follow someone else’s lead.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You will be happy to finally complete your to-do list. Your head might be in the clouds, and you could be thinking of doing more interesting things. Try to ground yourself. You could be accident-prone or speak too quickly. Tonight: Know when to call it a night.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Tap into your creativity to get your desk cleared. Don’t be too proud to ask for help if you need it. If you are single, you could meet someone from out of the blue who will mean a lot to you. If you are attached, stoke the fires of romance.

Tonight: Get into the moment.
