Southampton ambulance loses paramedic-level service

Gov. Baker announces $10M energy initiative BOSTON – The Baker administration announced the launch of a new $10 million initiative aimed at making Massachusetts a national leader in energy storage.

The Energy Storage Initiative (ESI) includes a $10 million commitment from the Department of Energy Resources (DOER) and a two-part study from DOER and the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) to analyze opportunities to support Commonwealth storage companies, as well as develop policy options to encourage energy storage deployment.

“The Commonwealth’s plans for energy storage will allow the state to move toward establishing a mature local market for these technologies that will, in turn, benefit ratepayers and the local economy,” said Baker. “Massachusetts has an exciting opportunity to provide a comprehensive approach to support a growing energy storage industry with this initiative’s analysis, policy and program development.”

“Massachusetts is nationally recognized for energy efficiency and clean energy job growth,” said EEA Secretary Matthew Beaton.

“This Energy Storage Initiative will ensure the Commonwealth continues to be on the forefront of advancing innovative clean technology. Through this initial $10 million announcement and the subsequent studies, Massachusetts is primed to leverage the expertise of the storage industry to reduce barriers to project implementation, and ultimately advancing a crucial component of modernizing our electric grid.”

DOER Commissioner Judith Judson, a nationally-recognized expert on energy storage,

we usually find that it is the simplest things — not the great occasions — that in retrospect give off the greatest glow of happiness.”

Airman trains on shipping at Ramstein

By TECH. SGT. MELANIE CASINEAU 104th Fighter Wing Public Affairs RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany – An Airman from the 104th Logistics Readiness Squadron, 104th Fighter Wing, Barnes Air National Guard Base, recently deployed to Ramstein Air Base, Germany, integrating with the 86th Logistics Readiness Squadron here.

The Airman, also a full-time technician in the travel management office, experienced the way Ramstein processes the large volume of international and local packaging.

This training is not available at 104th Fighter Wing, as the guard base is much smaller and does not ship overseas often.

“We have been processing shipments from other bases making sure that the supplies are delivered properly to the receiving offices on Ramstein,” she said.

Because the amount of packages that come and go at Ramstein is on such a large scale, all the receiving offices are at separate sites. With the small capacity that the 104th Fighter Wing has, the receiving

offices are all combined, she said.

The process is the same with active duty and guard when processing packages, but the type of packages that come and go are different, she said. At Ramstein they ship and receive household goods from Airmen retiring or changing base locations; the 104th does not because they are a guard unit.

“I have learned how to process packages at a larger volume and have learned how to work with customs,” she said. She worked and trained with the active duty on all inbound and outbound processing procedures.

At home station, the Airman does the shipment planning for outbound as well as inbound shipments ensuring that the packages are processed correctly and in a timely manner. There are approximately four or five shipments per day from various freight companies and they receive approximately 30 packages per day at the 104th.

She was very happy to have the opportunity to work and train with her active duty counterparts in an environment not available at the 104th Fighter Wing.

By CHRIS LINDAHL @cmlindahl Daily Hampshire Gazette SOUTHAMPTON — The Southampton Fire Department has been forced to halt some of its ambulance services after state inspectors discovered paramedics have not been following proper drug record-keeping procedures.

The Fire Department will not be allowed to operate paramedic-level ambulance services until staff is retrained in the coming weeks, following an inspection performed Thursday by the state Department of Public Health’s Office of Emergency Medical Services, according to Select Board member Charles J. Kaniecki.

In the meantime, the department will continue to operate a basic-level ambulance service that is licensed to provide first aid, but not to administer drugs or perform advanced medical procedures, Kaniecki said.

Emergency calls requiring a paramedic will generate a simultaneous response from a basic-level ambulance from Southampton and a paramedic-level one from a surrounding community, he said.

Town officials expect the training to be completed by June 10.

Man sentenced after police say he extorted a deaf person WESTFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A Springfield man has been sentenced to two years of probation and ordered to pay $13,000 in restitution for charges that he extorted money from a deaf person by pretending to be a police officer.

The Springfield Republican reports charges against 22-year-old Javies Rivera will be dropped if he successfully completes his probation after he admitted to sufficient facts in Westfield District Court Thursday.

He was charged with larceny of a disabled person.

Police say Rivera stole over $13,000 from the victim between June 2013 and December 2014 by demanding payments via text messages.

Police say the victim believed he would be in trouble with the law if he did not pay.

Rivera could see his parole terminated early if his payments are kept up for a full year.

Patrick urges Harvard grads to act on ‘unrest’ in hearts

By STEVE LeBLANC Associated Press CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — Former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick told Harvard graduates to listen to, and act on, the “unrest” in their hearts as they head into the world.

The 1978 graduate of Harvard College and 1982 graduate of Harvard Law School said during his commencement speech Thursday that the world is depending on the graduates for big ideas to tackle problems from social inequity to climate change.

He said it will also take hard work to turn those ideas into action.

Patrick, who ended eight years as governor in January, also tried to instill a bit of modesty into the graduates of the Ivy League school.

“The world is indeed yours for the taking.

Even so, I want to urge you to be a little uneasy,” he said. “I’m talking about the kind of unease that comes from being a little unsure that you already know all you need to know.

The kind of restlessness that compels you to look beyond yourself for answers and meaning.

“As my grandmother would say, ‘What you

don’t know would fill a book,'” Patrick added.

Patrick, the state’s first black governor, referred to himself as a “poor, black kid from Chicago” and praised those active in social movements, including the Occupy and Black Lives Matter protests and those pressuring institutions like Harvard to divest from the fossil fuel industry.

“I don’t want unrest in the streets, but I do want unrest in our hearts and minds,” Patrick said. “I do want us all to be uneasy about the grim realities of black men and families and the widespread nonchalance about poverty. I want us to be uneasy about the chronic desperation of communities that some of us are just one generation away from living in.”

Patrick said the graduates must not turn a blind eye to the persistence of racism in the culture.

“You know that what’s happening in Ferguson and Baltimore is but the frayed edge of a neglect that is undermining our country and that declaring ourselves officially raceblind or post-racial as a way to end division or discord is neither honest nor responsible,” he said.

Patrick said the daunting challenges call for

Mandala at DYS Westfield Youth Service Center unveiled WESTFIELD – The Performance Project, a Springfield-based arts organization, in partnership with the Department on Youth Services’ Stabilization Unit at Westfield Youth Service Center recently unveiled a new artwork created over four months by young men at the program. The artwork is the culmination of a 4-month Visual Arts Residency led

by Artists Rosa Ibarra and Julie Lichtenberg, and Facilitator, James Arana.

The Stabilization Unit at the Westfield facility is a unit that provides a stable environment and utilizes a positive youth development model, engaging youth from across the state, that are involved with the juvenile justice system, in educational programing, clinical work, recreation and the arts. Through the collaboration of residency artists, program administration, staff members, and the young men on the unit, a beautiful piece of artwork was created, that will forever be enjoyed.

The Performance Project, directed by artist Julie Lichtenberg, has created numerous murals and performances in Springfield through its artistic and leadership development programs with youth. This Visual Arts Residency, and the Mural Project are collaborations between The Performance Project, CHD, Men’s Resources International, and the

Department of Youth Services and is supported by Commonwealth Corporation.

Since 2000, The Performance Project has engaged in collaborations in Hampden and Hampshire Counties creating original theater with the First Generation Youth Ensemble and visual art with the Mural Project in Springfield.

Artists Rosa Ibarra and Julie Lichtenberg, along with facilitator James Arana, began meeting three times a week with a group of young men at the DYS Westfield Youth Service Center beginning in February. With the guidance of Ibarra, the group spent the first three months building skills in painting and generating ideas and images, and then they began to paint a seven and a half foot diameter Mandala. The Mandala design, created by Ibarra, incorporated all the ideas and drawings created by the group.

Staff members at the facility participated in the painting process as well, and youth and staff formed a creative community with a strong spirit of collaboration.

The Mandala will travel to the statewide Department of Youth Services Showcase in Boston, “Share Your Art Share Your Voice” to

While the Mandala painting itself is a highly detailed and beautiful as an artwork, Lichtenberg, Director of The Performance Project says, “We hope that this painting is a testimony to the beauty, skill, and potential of the young men who created it, and a reminder that while a young person may be incarcerated, it is imperative that we continue to nurture and encourage their strengths, and emphasize the positive. I believe that every individual, given the opportunity, can shine brightly.”

In addition to the Mandala Unveiling, the Westfield Facility is celebrating the installation of another artwork, a collaborative painting called. “Big Hands” The Big Hands piece was worked on by as many as 50 people. The painting was conceived and begun in a mural class at the Pioneer Valley School of Performing and Visual Arts in Hadley, in 2012, and then the painting was continued by residents of CHD’s Community Adolescent Treatment Center in Springfield, and was finally finished by members of The Performance Project.

Using the arts, The Performance Project finds ways to respect and highlight youth members’ individuality, life experiences, cultures, and creativity.

be held in the theater district.

Quoting one of the young artists, “I hope that when people look at our painting they see the beauty in it and they also think about the struggle that we are go through in our lives.”

LANCASTER, Pa. (AP) — Firefighters were too big to rescue a kitten from a storm drain in south-central Pennsylvania, but a 6-year-old girl’s size proved to be just right.

Lancaster Township firefighters responded when the girl, Janeysha Cruz, and her friends saw the trapped kitten Tuesday afternoon.

The girl’s mother called 911 and then gave firefighters permission to lower the kindergartner nearly 3 feet down into the drain, which was too small for the firefighters to enter. The girl was able to coax the kitten to come to her and handed it to the firefighters.

The Fire Department reported the incident on its Facebook page, along with a picture of Janeysha, Deputy Fire Chief Glenn Usdin and the kitten.

Almost 45,000 lose power north of Boston BOSTON (AP) — National Grid is investigating the cause of an outage that knocked out power to more than 44,000 of its customers north of Boston.

A utility spokeswoman says the problem first reported at about 7 a.m. Friday

originated in an Everett substation, but the exact cause is not known.

The outages were concentrated in Malden, Medford and Everett, with virtually the entire city of Medford out, causing delays on the MBTA's Orange

Line.

The spokeswoman says the number of outages was down to about 3,000 by 8:30 a.m.

National Grid has almost 1.3 million customers in Massachusetts.

Service Fire Chief John Workman “is already starting to track down trainers to educate the staff on proper record-keeping,” Kaniecki said.

Reached by telephone Thursday, Workman said questions about the inspection should be directed to Kaniecki.

The Select Board was alerted to a potential problem with the Fire Department’s drug-management practices earlier this month by one of the town’s deputy fire chiefs. That deputy, whose name Kaniecki said he could not remember, then asked the board to place him on a voluntary three-month leave of absence, he said.

“That prompted the selectmen to turn the files over to the Police Department because we were dealing with narcotics,” Kaniecki added.

The department employs Richard Fasoli and Kyle Miltimore as deputy chiefs, according to its website.

Neither could be reached for comment Thursday.

During the investigation, Southampton Police were in contact with officials from Cooley Dickinson Hospital in Northampton, which is affiliated with the Southampton Fire Department.

Paramedics are “the extended arm of the physician on call at the ER,” Kaniecki said.

Boston Marathon bomber to be sentenced June 24 BOSTON (AP) — Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will be formally sentenced to death on June 24.

U.S. District Judge George O’Toole Jr. set the date on Thursday.

A jury determined earlier this month that Tsarnaev should get the death penalty in the 2013 attack. Three people were killed and more than 260 were injured when Tsarnaev and his brother placed two pressure-cooker bombs near the marathon finish line.

Prosecutors say at least 20 victims of the explosions have asked to speak at the sentencing hearing.

Tsarnaev will also be given the chance to speak if he so chooses.

O’Toole gave Tsarnaev’s lawyers until Aug. 17 to file any post-trial motions along with all supporting material.

Town of Southwick Notice Continued from Page 1 “Paramedics can’t administer drugs unless a doctor authorizes it.”

Hospital officials could not be reached for comment Thursday.

Town officials were told by the Office of Emergency Medical Services earlier this week that it would be coming to inspect the Fire Department’s ambulances. Kaniecki said he did not know who alerted the state to the problem.

On Thursday, the state investigation revealed no evidence that paramedics had been violating proper drug administering procedures, nor were any drugs believed to be missing, Kaniecki said.

Paramedics had failed to keep complete records of drugs that were administered in the ambulance. They are required to complete paperwork at the fire station after returning from dropping a patient off at the hospital, Kaniecki said.

After paramedics are retrained on drug record-keeping procedures, Cooley Dickinson and the state must approve the department’s return to paramedic-level ambulance service, he said.

The state inspection is the latest incident in a string of controversies afflicting the Southampton Fire Department.

A resident expressed concern in April after a Westfield ambulance, not one from Southampton, responded to a 911 call for his father, who was experiencing chest pains, about 15 minutes after the call was made.

Workman said the call was handled according to protocol.

He added that the department must sometimes rely on mutual aid because firefighters respond to calls from their homes on a standby basis during the evening and overnight hours. As a solution, he has proposed to add a second shift at the fire

On Common Core, Bush is a party of one With Chris Christie’s about-face on the education standards, the GOP’s flip-flop is nearly complete

By CAITLIN EMMA Politico.com The Republican flip-flop on the Common Core is nearly complete.

On Thursday, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie officially pulled the plug on any support he had left for the Common Core.

He joins the ranks of other GOP presidential candidates who supported, then ditched, the controversial education standards after a sustained conservative backlash: Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, once a Common Core supporter, is now suing the federal government over the academic standards in math and English.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee previously supported Common Core, but in August, he called for an end to the fighting over the standards. But now that he’s running for president, he’s tweeting, “Kill Common Core. Restore common sense.” Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker also supported the Common Core during his first term as governor, but has since called for replacing the standards and aligned tests.

Virtually every 2016 Republican presidential candidate has turned against the education standards, other than former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

It wasn’t so long ago that Christie was an ardent supporter of the standards himself. Like nearly every other governor in the country — Republican or Democrat — he agreed to adopt them in 2010.

But Common Core has come under a withering grass-roots attack from conservatives who believe the standards are an attempt to nationalize education, and it has become a litmus test for Republicans with national ambition. To be sure, many on the left despise the educational standards, but conservatives ranging from Rand Paul to Christie now feel compelled to abandon any association with Common Core.

Christie once sang the praises of the education standards.

“We’re doing Common Core in New Jersey and we’re going to continue,” Christie said in 2013. “And this is one of those areas where I’ve agreed more with the president than not, and with Secretary [Arne] Duncan. They haven’t been perfect on this, but they’ve been better than a lot of folks have been … I think that part of the Republican opposition that you’ll see in some corners in Congress is a reaction — that knee-jerk reaction that’s happening in Washington right now — that if the president likes something then the Republicans in Congress don’t and if the Republicans like something then the president doesn’t.”

“It is this mind-set in D.C. right now that says we have to be at war constantly,” he added. “I just don’t buy that … part of the problem in Congress right now, on both sides of the aisle, is that folks care more about their primaries than anything else and as a result, they fight some of these things.”

But on Thursday he retracted all of that and blamed Washington for part of his about-face.

Common Core “has brought only confusion and frustration to our parents,” he said. “And has brought distance between our teachers and the communities where they work. Instead of solving problems in our classrooms, it is creating new ones. And when we aren’t getting the job done for our children, we need to do something different.

“It is time to have standards that are even higher and come directly from our communities. And, in my view, this new era can be even greater by adopting new standards right here in New Jersey — not 200 miles away on the banks of the Potomac River.”

Christie is asking his state education commissioner to assemble a group of parents, students and teachers to develop a new set of academic standards, according to his office. They’ll consider whether the standards reflect the needs of state employers, among other things. Christie wants the review completed by the end of the year. He said the effort wouldn’t affect Common Core-aligned testing happening this spring.

His speech confirms the fears of education leaders who worried he’d back away from the Common Core, a set of academic standards for English/language arts and math.

Since 2010, Christie has gone from full-blown support for the Common Core to having “grave concerns” about the standards.

Like many governors facing pushback on the Common Core and testing, he set up a commission to review the standards and the number of tests administered in the state. The timing of his speech appears to undercut the commission’s work: Its report isn’t due until the end of July.

And as 2016 approaches, his language around the Common Core has evolved.

“I’ve said this publicly before: I have grave concerns about the way this is being done, and especially the way the Obama administration has tried to implement it through tying federal funding to these things,” he said in February. “And that changes the entire nature of it, from what was initially supposed to be a voluntary type of system and states could decide on their own to now having See Common Core, Page 5

What a new Iraq ‘surge’ could look like After Ramadi fiasco, talk grows of U.S. boots on the ground in Iraq

By MICHAEL CROWLEY Politico.com The fall of the city of Ramadi and doubts about the Iraqi army’s will to fight the Islamic State have a growing number of Republicans and military strategists proposing the once unthinkable: sending tens of thousands of American troops back to Iraq.

Call it another “surge.” But advocates say it shouldn’t look like the last one.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, a 2016 candidate for president, recently called for sending 10,000 troops to Iraq. Fellow GOP presidential hopefuls Rick Perry, Scott Walker and George Pataki say they’re open to the idea. Last week, two key architects of George W. Bush’s 2007 troop surge told the Senate that up to 20,000 additional U.S. troops are needed to defeat the Islamic State, also known as ISIS. They’ve found an ally in Sen. John McCain, a longtime Republican hawk.

And even though President Barack Obama has ruled out the idea of a ground combat force — which is also a nonstarter for congressional Democrats — polls show growing public support for the idea.

Leading voices for more U.S. troops say they’re not proposing combat units that would directly engage in firefights like those of the Iraq War. The Bush surge deployed 30,000 troops, many to the front lines. Advocates of a new surge speak mainly of more trainers and advisers embedded with Iraqi army units, spotters to guide precision airstrikes, and U.S. Special Forces to conduct night raids.

Such a strategy would dramatically amplify Obama’s policy to fight the Islamic State, which has drawn fresh criticism since militants captured Ramadi, the capital of Iraq’s Anbar province, nearly two weeks ago.

After withdrawing the last U.S. roops from Iraq at the end of 2011, Obama has sent 3,000 back to the country since last summer. Many of those troops are training Iraqi soldiers far from the front lines or advise Iraqi commanders in joint-operations centers. Others guard the U.S. Embassy compound in Baghdad.

None are in combat roles or embedded with Iraqi forces in the field.

Supporters of a new surge say even if the additional American troops sent are mainly advisers and coordinators who rarely fire their weapons, they would still need to be near the front lines and very much in harm’s way.

“It will take accepting risk. It will take accepting casualties,” retired Gen. Jack Keane, a former Army vice chief of staff, told the Senate Armed Services Committee last week. Keane helped persuade Bush to order his surge of 20,000 troops against the opposition of military commanders who insisted their Iraq strategy was working; Obama opposed that surge but later admitted that it “succeeded beyond our wildest dreams.”

In an interview with Politico, Keane said he supports sending between 10,000 and 20,000 troops to Iraq, primarily to speed up the training of Iraqi forces and tribal fighters in Sunni areas where ISIS is especially strong. His view is backed by another Bush surge architect, Fred Kagan, a military strategist at the American Enterprise Institute, who also discussed the proposal with Politico.

“I’m not advocating that we put ground combat troops in there,” Keane said. “When people hear that guys like Keane or Kagan want more troops, they think ‘Well, they want another long protracted war in Iraq.’” He insisted that’s not the case, adding that if more U.S. troops failed to make a difference he would support the creation of a large Arab army to take on ISIS. A spokeswoman for Graham said that discussions with Keane, along with former Central Command chief Anthony Zinni, formed the basis for the South Carolina senator’s 10,000-troop proposal, but did not provide more details.

Until recently, critiques of Obama’s Iraq policy have mainly focused on the possible role of joint terminal attack controllers — U.S. troops who operate near the front lines of combat and call in precise coordinates for airstrikes that might otherwise be withheld for fear of hitting friendly forces or civilians.

Many Pentagon leaders support sending so-called spotters to Iraq, but Obama has declined to place them within Iraqi units.

“That means air support will always be late and always far from the close fight,” says retired Lt. General James Dubik, who oversaw the training of Iraqi forces from 2007 to 2008.

“The utility of our air support is diminished.”

The more recent discussions have moved beyond the spotters, however. Kagan, a former professor of military history at West Point, backs placing more American troops within Iraqi military units that might encounter combat, but not just because they can offer advice. Such troops also could help with intelligence gathering, including the installation of electronic surveillance equipment — a task the U.S. can’t outsource to the Iraqis given its sensitive nature.

Although many of the new U.S. troops would be “in a defensive mode” — offering logistical support, transportation and protection for their fellow Americans — some could play a more traditional combat role. They could employ precise artillery, Kagan said, compensating for a pause in airstrikes during

sandstorms or bad weather.

He further recommended sending the personnel and equipment to conduct Special Forces night raids against militant hideouts, such as the one the U.S. conducted in Syria earlier this month that killed a senior ISIS operative and captured his wife.

Kagan acknowledged that his proposal would likely involve some casualties. “I mean in the tens, and I would be surprised if you get quickly toward 100,” he said.

When it comes to ISIS, the risk also includes barbaric treatment of any Americans unlucky enough to be captured. In February, ISIS burned a downed Jordanian pilot alive in a cage. “I would tell the president there’s a likelihood that will happen,” Kagan said. “They will try to do that. We will try hard to prevent it.”

Beyond the risk of casualties, a more aggressive U.S. role would bring other complications, said Richard Fontaine, president of the Center for a New American Security.

“You have to Medevac people out if they get hurt,” Fontaine said. “People have to eat, they have to be resupplied.”

Helicopters would need to be on standby “so that if Americans find themselves in a firefight they don’t find themselves solely reliant on Iraqis to get out of the jam.”

Special Forces raids often involve taking prisoners, he added, raising questions about where those detainees will be held and how they will be interrogated. “Do you create a detention facility? Who runs it? And you need lawyers,” Fontaine said.

Some strategists question the premise that a modest increase in American troops would make much difference.

“In general, my view tends to be that small-footprint postures produce small payoffs,” said Steven Biddle, adjunct senior fellow for defense policy at the Council on Foreign Relations. “It’s very hard to add a handful of Americans and transform an outcome.”

American troops can’t solve deep systemic problems within the Iraqi military, Biddle said, the body that ultimately will have to secure the country. “The central problem in the Iraqi military is combat motivation,” he said. “It’s not technical proficiency.”

If Iraqi soldiers seem to lack a “will to fight,” as Defense Secretary Ash Carter recently put it, Biddle said that’s because “they don’t want to give their lives for a government they think is just lining its pockets.”

For its part, the White House is holding firm on the question of ground troops. “The president has clearly ruled out the use of U.S. military personnel in a ground combat role in Iraq,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest said in a May 22 briefing.

Keane said he understood the political reality, adding that his like-minded allies in the U.S. military are resigned to the idea that Obama isn’t likely to budge from his position.

“I just talked to a four-star [general] today, and he said the guys have pretty much given up trying to make any changes,” Keane said. “They know the president’s not going to do it regardless.”

federal money tied to it in ways that give me really, really grave concern.”

A concern about federal overreach is at the heart of Jindal’s lawsuit, which alleges that the Education Department violated federal law by coercing states to adopt the standards through programs like Race to the Top and waivers from No Child Left Behind. (The federal government has never mandated that states adopt the Common Core, but has asked that states adopt more rigorous academic standards.)

Ohio’s Republican Gov. John Kasich, another possible 2016 contender, has smacked down the concerns of Jindal and others that the standards represent federal overreach or some kind of federal curriculum. Duncan has even lauded Kasich for his approach to the Common Core.

The Common Core wasn’t developed by the federal government, but by governors, state education chiefs and others. Only four states — Alaska, Nebraska, Texas and Virginia — never adopted them.

Bush has said the Common Core should serve as a floor for quality and rigor if states are looking to replace the standards. But this month he said the standards must be state driven, a statement appealing to conservatives who want to sever the federal government from all education matters. Since the standards were developed by governors and state education chiefs and their adoption was voluntary, Common Core proponents argue that the standards have always been state driven.

“Common Core means a lot of things to different people, so they could be right based on what’s in front of them,” Bush said in an interview with Fox News Channel’s Megyn Kelly. “I respect people having a view, but the simple fact is we need higher standards.

They need to be state driven. The federal government should play no role in this, either in the creation of standards, content or curriculum. That’s what I believe. And if we don’t have high standards and assess to them faithfully, we get what we have today which is about a third of our kids being college and/or career ready.”

5 tips for conserving water at home

By SOLVEJ SCHOU Associated Press PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Here in dry, dusty Southern California, dealing with the worst drought in state history has become the "new normal." In my home, we've cut back on showers and watering the lawn.

Banners declaring "Be Water Wise!" stretch above streets. Gov. Jerry Brown recently ordered mandatory restrictions to cut urban water use across California by 25 percent.

Other western states, including Oregon, Nevada and Arizona, also have been plunged into extreme drought conditions.

For those wondering how to conserve water and lower water bills, here are five simple ways to slash home water use: 1. UNDERSTAND YOUR WATER METER Madeline Ward, acting water conservation coordinator in Santa Barbara, suggests becoming familiar with your water meter, which is often located outside the house in a metal or concrete box.

Reading your meter — which looks similar to an odometer in a car — is not only a way to gauge water usage; it also can tell you if you have a leak.

"When you're leaving for work in the morning, read it," said Ward. "When you come

back from work, read it again." It it's moved, there could be a leak.

Weekly meter readings are helpful for comparing usage week-to-week, added Forrest Arthur, general manager of a residential community in Carmel, the Santa Lucia Preserve, which relies on its own water supply. It cut 40 million gallons of water last year.

1. REPLACE YOUR GRASS LAWN WITH DROUGHT-TOLERANT PLANTS AND MATERIALS Landscaping and turf watering generally account for a hefty 60 percent to 80 percent of home water use, according to Arthur and Ward, so one way to conserve water is to literally rip out your lawn.

As an incentive, water districts across many states, including California and Arizona, have been offering conservation rebates to residents who remove their lawn grass and replace it with drought-tolerant native plants, mulch, bark, gravel and drip-irrigation systems, which target plants at their roots.

"I have definitely seen an uptick in residential clients just in the last year, with all of them contacting me to take advantage of rebates," said Lupe Perez, owner of the Pasadena-based Green Splendor Landscaping.

1. MONITOR SPRINKLERS AND DON'T WATER DURING THE DAY If you do keep your lawn, monitor automatic sprinklers closely to check for leaks or runoff, and make sure they're not on when it rains or during the day. Water is more likely to evaporate when the sun is at full strength.

Watering by hand is best, Ward added.

"You should water either when the sun goes down or before it comes up," said Arthur. "It really makes a big difference."

1. CHECK FOR TOILET LEAKS Growing up in California, I always heard the flush-saving phrase, "if it's yellow, let it mellow."

While most toilets these days are low-flow and use 1.6 gallons of water per flush, according to Ward, a toilet leak can waste about 200 gallons of water a day. A DAY. These leaks are huge and silent.

One way to identify a leak, Ward said, is to do a dye test. Drop a food-color tablet from a plumbing or other store into the toilet tank.

Wait 10 to 15 minutes without flushing, and then look in the toilet bowl.

If there's color in it, that means there's a leak from the tank into the bowl, and you need to replace the tank's rubber flapper that lets water through. Rubber flappers can warp or erode over time.

1. USE LESS WATER WASHING DISHES, CLOTHES, YOURSELF No more long, hot showers or running water while flossing your teeth.

Instead, take five-minute showers. Showers usually use 1.5 to 2 gallons of water per minute, according to Ward. Turn off the water when you're lathering and shaving, and also at the sink when you lather your hands.

For baths, don't fill them more than halfway.

As for washing dishes, make sure the water isn't running when you're not using it. If you wash dishes by hand, dunk them in a basin with soapy water so you're just using extra water for rinsing. For dishwashers, always run a full load versus a half load, Ward said.

Likewise, in washing machines, always run full loads of laundry.

"We're going to have to get away from what we've done in the past since water is getting scarcer," said Arthur. "It's time to make a change."

Right at Home: New floral prints bring spring indoors

By KIM COOK Associated Press Floral motifs pop up every spring in home-furnishing collections, and after a long winter they’re always a welcome sight. But this year, there seem to be more of them than ever, and they feel particularly fresh.

New York interior designer

Elaine Griffin says it began a few seasons back with a movement toward kinder, gentler silhouettes and patterns.

“Design has been trending toward a subtle but highimpact femininity,” she says.

“It started with softer, more fluid shapes in upholstery.

Paler or more glamorous fin-

ishes for case goods.

Dressmaker-inspired details like pleated-ruffle and grosgrain-trimmed throw pillows and draperies.

“There’s no more feminine pattern than florals, and from the runway to decorative fabrics and accessories, they’re everywhere.”

In the 1980s, floral chintz spread like marmalade across the decor landscape as English country style took hold. It was a formal, somewhat overwrought look with, says Griffin, “a bow and ribbon on everything that didn’t move.”

Chintz is back, but it’s a looser, more relaxed version.

And the cottage prints that in the past could be a little dowdy are more lighthearted.

Also in the mix: bold, geometric flower motifs and ethnic floral patterns.

Some vintage prints reinterpret florals through a midcen-

tury lens for a fresh take on both styles. But you’ll also find more painterly floral designs, with a wistful watercolor look.

The new florals can go just about anywhere, says Griffin.

“For conservative spaces, coordinate complementary fabrics with the darkest hue in the floral,” she says. “For zippier, more modern rooms, bring out the brightest hues of the pattern.”

She advises making oversize floral patterns the star of the room. Pair them with textured solids or subtle stripes, and don’t overdo it by adding a bunch of distracting prints.

Be mindful where you plant your flowers.

“Avoid florals on big and long-lived upholstered pieces like sofas,” says Griffin.

“They’re a better bet for armchairs, ottomans and window treatments, which you can change more easily if you tire of the pattern in a few years.”

Is rent out of reach?

Study shows how 11 U.S. cities stack up

By JENNIFER PELTZ Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — Renters are on the rise in America's biggest cities, but many tenants are scrambling to keep up with growing rent bills and shrinking vacancies, according to a study released Thursday.

From Boston to Miami, New York to Los Angeles, more than half of tenants are paying what experts consider unaffordable rents, says a report by New York University's Furman Center, which studies real estate and urban policy, and bank Capital One, which is a leading affordable-housing lender and financed the research.

While various housing experts have noted such trends, the study zooms in on 11 of the nation's most populous cities.

Overall, it's a portrait of increasing competition and often slipping affordability, but the picture isn't universally bleak and looks noticeably different from city to city.

"The study brings into light the limited options there are for renters," Capital One community finance chief Laura Bailey says.

A look at the findings: THE CITIES The study analyzed U.S. Census Bureau data from 2006 to 2013 on the central cities of the 11 most populous U.S. metropolitan areas: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. RENTERS ON THE RISE As of 2013, most residents were renters in nine of the 11 cities, all except for Atlanta and Philadelphia, compared with five in 2006. At least 60 percent of residents are now tenants, rather than owners, in Boston, L.A., New York and Miami.

Nationwide, about 35 percent of people rented in 2013, up from 31 percent in 2006, the Census Bureau says.

Experts trace much of the rise in renting to the 2008 mortgage and financial crisis, which left some people unable and others reluctant to own homes. And when rent becomes a stretch, leaving less income to save toward homeownership, "it's a reinforcing cycle," Furman Center faculty director Ingrid Gould Ellen says.

But other factors may include home-downsizing within the giant and aging baby boom generation and hefty college debt that slows some young people's saving for a home purchase.

MORE RENTALS BUT LESS AVAILABILITY In each city, the amount of rental housing grew faster than any rise in owner-occupied homes. In fact, the data suggest

some homes were converted to rentals.

Nonetheless, the vacancy rate declined everywhere except Miami and Washington, where increases were slight. San Francisco surpassed New York for the title of tightest rental market: New York's 3.8 percent vacancy rate was the lowest in 2006, but by 2013 San Francisco had the floor with a mere 2.5 percent. New York, L.A. and Boston were hovering around 3.5 percent. Atlanta, meanwhile, had the highest vacancy rate of the cities in the survey, at nearly 10 percent.

CLIMBING RENTS, UNEVEN BURDENS Amid growing demand and tight supply, median rents rose faster than inflation in all the cities but Dallas and Houston, where they were nearly flat. Washington's median rent shot up by 21 percent over the seven years, to $1,307 a month.

New York's rose by 12 percent, to $1,228. The calculation is in inflation-adjusted for 2013 dollars, includes utilities and encompasses market-rate, rent-regulated and subsidized housing.

New York has about 1 million rent-regulated apartments, perhaps helping explain why it has a lower median rent than Washington, San Francisco ($1,491) and Boston ($1,263).

Meanwhile, median rents were under $1,000 everywhere else except Los Angeles ($1,182).

But rents don't tell the whole story of affordability: Renters' median household incomes varied widely over the years. Housing experts like to gauge affordability by the percentage of income that goes to housing costs, with anything over 29 percent being rent-burdened. Over 49 percent is considered severely burdened.

On that scale, the landscape is uneven. The percentage of rent-burdened tenants grew in six cities while dropping in the rest, and the findings were full of seeming contradictions. San Francisco had the highest median rent but the lowest percentage of rent-burdened tenants, 45 percent; Miami had a far lower median rent, but 68 percent of tenants were burdened.

One reason: San Francisco renters' median household income was $61,200 a year, nearly 1.5 times what their Miami counterparts made.

By LEE REICH Associated Press “Grow up.” That’s what I tell some of my plants.

Upright plants, bathed in air, are less apt to get fungal diseases, and those bearing fruits — tomatoes, for example — are less likely to have their fruits attacked by slugs and turtles.

And of course, flowers that stand tall stare boldly from the garden.

Some plants cry out to be staked, while others are more ambivalent. Delphiniums, lilies and larkspurs grow upright all by themselves, but can be buffeted down by wind or rain unless staked. Not so a vine of tomato or trumpet honeysuckle, either of which is just as happy to crawl over the ground as to climb a stake.

The stems of twining plants, such as morning glories and moonflowers, and ornamental and edible lablab and scarlet runner beans, flounder about looking for some support on which to pull themselves up.

STAKEOUT A plant stake should be unobtrusive yet sturdy enough to do its job.

Do not be deceived by the puniness of a tomato plant when you first set it out in the garden. By July, growth will be lusty enough to require the support of something with at least as much muscle as 2-by-2-inch lumber or 5/8-inch metal pipe. In contrast, flower stalks of delphinium aren’t weighted down with heavy fruits and don’t continue growing skyward all season, so they can be staked with lengths of half-inch bamboo.

Other suitable staking materials include straight limbs cut from trees or picked up from the ground. Vigorous, upright stems on fruit trees, called watersprouts, need to be pruned off anyway; save them for stakes. Other commercially available staking includes green painted, metal poles, some with bendable “arms” for hugging stems, some that look like bamboo, and metal stakes bent in spirals that can contain growing stems.

Match the stake’s height to the eventual height of the plant.

Or rather, to as high as you want to keep staking, because a tomato or morning glory vine typically grows higher by summer’s end than any stake you give it.

Give a spired plant, such as delphinium, a stake not quite as high as the eventual plant height, so it will be less obtrusive and not detract from the flowery show.

Avoid root damage when putting a stake in the ground. When an established perennial plant awakens for the season and its new growth needs staking, push or pound the stake into the ground a few inches away from the crown of the plant. With annual plants, pound or push the stake into the ground before or when you set out your plants (before the roots have spread).Sink the stake sufficiently deep in the ground to perform its job. A 2-by-2-inch wooden stake for a tomato will eventually topple unless its base is buried at least 18 inches deep.

SUPPORT SERVICES Most staked plants need to be tied to the stakes. And that’s the rub — literally. Avoid plant damage from rubbing by, first of all, using some thick or soft material for tying. Strips ripped from rags or soft, thick string are good. Also, avoid plant damage by first tying the string or rag strip firmly enough to the stake to prevent slippage, and then only loosely around the plant’s stem.

Twining vines such as beans, morning glories and moonflowers need no tying. But their stakes must be no more than about 3/4 of an inch thick so that the stems can wrap around them.

TO SAVE ON RENT, STAY PUT In each city, apartments that had come open within the last five years were less likely to be affordable to low- and middle-income tenants than apartments that hadn't.

It is no secret that the U.S. economy has been in a very difficult time. Real estate prices are down. The Fed has lowered interest rates to all-time lows. 30yr. mortgages are hovering between an almost unbelievable 3% and 4%! There is one silver lining to the dismal market factors: there is absolutely no better time to buy a home! With each 1/8% that interest rates drop, a home purchaser’s buying power rises dramatically. Just a few short years ago, rates were in the 7-8% range. And if you are looking, but have not found the right home yet, Sheldon Real Estate is offering a $500 credit toward closing costs if you purchase or list a home in the month of May... it just doesn’t get any better!

Iconic Vineyard lighthouse begins move inland

By PHILIP MARCELO Associated Press AQUINNAH, Mass. (AP) — A Martha’s Vineyard lighthouse that is among the most endangered historic landmarks in the U.S. began its gradual march back from a rapidly eroding cliffside on Thursday.

Powerful hydraulic pistons inched the 160-year-old Gay Head Lighthouse about 5 feet at a time along steel rails lathered with soap, starting just before noon. By midafternoon, it had moved more than 25 feet.

The 52-foot-high, 400-ton brick-and-mortar structure is expected to arrive at its final destination — a concrete pad about 135 feet due southeast — as soon as Friday.

“We’ve got plenty of time.

We’re not in any rush,” said Jerry Matyiko, a seasoned mover of large structures whose crews have relocated five lighthouses, including the famed Cape Hatteras Light in North Carolina. “Preparing it was the hard part. Moving it is the easy part.”

Workers spent weeks painstakingly digging under the lighthouse to lift it a few short feet off the ground, using dozens of hydraulic jacks sup-

“That light right here has been significant for me finding my way back home on more than a thousand occasions,” he said. “You know exactly where you are when you see the red and the white.

That’s the homestretch.”

Paula Eisenberg, who has lived down the road from the lighthouse since 2002, said the beacon has been a comforting and treasured part of her time on the island.

“At night, my husband and I can see the sweep of the lighthouse beam through our bedroom window,” she said.

“It’s just a big part of our lives out here and we couldn’t bear the thought of losing it.”

A group of local schoolchildren that had helped raise money for the $3.4 million project also stopped by for a visit.

“It’s pretty cool. I thought it would take a lot of time, maybe a couple of weeks,” 9-year-old Yossi Monahan said of the move.

Relocating the lighthouse became an urgent matter after constant landslides caused by ocean waves and groundwater severely eroded the cliffs.

The lighthouse is now just 46 feet from the clay-andsandstone cliff’s edge. Within two years, advocates feared, it would have been too close to the edge to move safely.

“This was a proud symbol of our maritime heritage,” said Len Butler, chairman of a town committee overseeing the relocation. “We couldn’t let that happen.”

The project is being paid for through donations and grants, though supporters say they’re still about $200,000 short.

Richard Pomroy, the project manager, said they hope to have the town-owned lighthouse re-lit and open to the public by early July.

For now, a temporary beacon has been installed on a simple steel pole nearby to guide ships to safety.

Leo “Pete” Lemelin ~ 1947-2015 ~

Leo Lemelin of Peru, passed away on May 26, 2015 at home after a long courageous battle with cancer.

Leo and his wife, June, were longtime residents of Springfield, Ma until moving to Peru eight years ago. Once in the Berkshires, Leo greatly enjoyed spending time with the horses and goats and working with his tractor on their small farm. He will be sorely missed by his faithful dogs who were his constant companions.

Leo was employed at Sullivan Paper Company in West Springfield until he retired four years ago.

Besides his wife, June of fifty years, he leaves a son Peter Lemelin of Ludlow, Ma, a daughter Michele Smith and her husband Paul of Granville, MA, and two grandchildren, Peter Lemelin Jr. and Jaclyn Lemelin, and three great grandsons. He also leaves two sisters, Jeannette Belanger of North Adams, Alice Hunt of North Adams, a sister-in-law, Linda Major of Connecticut,and many nieces and nephews.

A service will be held at The Dery & Foley Funeral Home, 890 East Main Road, Dalton, MA at 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, June 2 with a reception to follow at Ozzie’s Steak & Eggs in Hinsdale.

Put a picture of someone you love on a keepsake.

ported by a network of woodand-steel beams.

Once in its new home, the lighthouse and the scouredout land around it will be restored.

Located on the sparsely populated, western edge of the resort island, Gay Head Light has been a critical waypoint for mariners since the peak of the whaling trade in the 19th century.

Its red-and-white beam can be seen for almost 20 miles out, warning ships of the coastline and the treacherous shoal extending about a halfmile into the water.

Today, the beacon and its dramatic, brilliantly colored cliffside perch are also a must-see destination for tourists.

Buddy Vanderhoop, a longtime charter fishing captain whose great uncle was the lighthouse’s first keeper, was among a handful of locals on hand Thursday to observe the start of the move.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made through the Funeral Home to the Dana Farber Cancer Center in Boston, Hospice of the Berkshires, or The Berkshire Humane Society of Pittsfield.

S.A.L. Squadron 124 gifted memberships to the SAL for those young men who parents or grandparents were veterans and meet the eligibility requirements for membership in the American Legion. If you see a member of Saint Mary’s High School baseball team in the community, please take a moment to thank them for their thoughtfulness of our veterans and their service to the community.

Students complete two-year Baja journey SPRINGFIELD – Western New England University engineering students recently competed in the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Mini-Baja competition in Maryland. The student racing team, including junior Jeremy Downs of Falls Village CT, participated in this highly competitive international Baja race program against 97 other colleges and universities from around the world, including India, Israel, South Korea, and more. This was the University’s first time competing in this prestigious but grueling annual event.

Mini-Baja racing is a form of off-road “dune buggy” style racing on dirt or sand courses.

“The Baja Race project was an amazing educational experience,” explained sophomore Alec Guay of Westfield. “Our team spent two years preparing the mini-Baja vehicle, and I was selected as our SAE Club Leader.”

The team of engineering students worked for two years to raise support, design, build, test, promote, and race a vehicle that meets specific Baja SAE® design specifications, size constraints and other rules. All university teams are required to using the same model of Briggs & Stratton

10-HP engine.

“This was our first design and we did great, but there always room for improvement, that’s what engineering is about,” said Guay. “Our vehicle weighed about 570 lbs, a bit heavy compared to Cornell University’s vehicle at 299 lbs. The main goal for next year’s competition is to reduce weight while maintaining our main performance characteristics.”

The four-day competition is comprised of several events. The first two days focus on “static” events such as sales and design presentations and a thorough technical inspection of the vehicle (all cars must be deemed safe for racing by SAE judges).

The third day focused on four “dynamic” minievents: acceleration, hill climbing, maneuverability, and suspension/traction. Finally, the main event takes place on the fourth day, a four-hour endurance race through a difficult race course filled with obstacles, where the goal is to complete as many laps as possible without breaking down. This year, nearly two dozen vehicles broke down within the first hour of the race. The Golden Bear vehicle was among the few still standing by the end of the four-

hour endurance marathon.

Western New England University’s performance was truly outstanding. Most notable results were: 18th place in the endurance race, 10th place in the sales presentation, and 30th place overall (all static and dynamic events combined).

“I am extremely proud and thoroughly impressed with what these students have accomplished,” said Dr. Jose Riofrio, assistant professor of Mechanical Engineering and team advisor. “As a first-year Mini-Baja team, our students stood tall against toptier teams, some of which have 25+ years of MiniBaja racing experience. Our success is a clear indication of the quality of our students and our engineering program. The team is more motivated than ever to continue to improve and find a spot in the top 10 overall rank,” Riofrio said.

“Everyone on the team worked really hard towards a common goal and we learned together every day of the project,” said Guay “We’re proud of what we accomplished, but, as soon as we got back to school after the race, the team went back to the drawing board to make modifications, and make next season even more successful.”

Annie’s Mailbox

By KATHY MITCHELL and MARCY SUGAR

What do you advise?

Dear Annie: Thirty years ago, when I was 11, I got into an argument on the school bus with another kid my age. I was an insecure child, and I was losing the argument and feeling humiliated. In a move to try to regain some power, I called the other kid, who is black, a racial epithet. I immediately felt sick at what I had done, and it is the only time, before or since, that I ever did anything like that.

I have thought about that moment hundreds of times over the years and consider it one of my lowest, most shameful decisions. Thinking about it has made me aware of inherent racial biases that I was raised with, and I have actively tried to address these.

Recently, through a mutual friend, I became aware that the victim of my words is reachable through social media. My question is: Should I apologize? My apology would be sincere, but would also perhaps be self-serving, as it may only dredge up a terrible memory for him. I so wish I could erase that awful moment, but I am prepared to accept that I just have to live with this disgusting thing. What do you advise? -- Trying My Best Dear Trying: Apologize. Maybe it is a bit self-serving, but many apologies are -- they make us feel better that we tried to make amends. If this dredges up a terrible memory for him, you can rest assured that he hasn’t forgotten the incident, either. An apology could help him close that door. A private message, rather than a public post, would be best. Don’t belabor the issue.

Simply say you are sorry, that it has bothered you for 30 years (he may be glad to hear that), and that you want him to know you sincerely regret it. Any communication after that should be up to him.

Dear Annie: I’d like to say something about people who disregard their family members who require care.

My mother had a heart valve replaced when she was 97.

Eighteen months later, she had a stroke and has been in a nursing home since. By the time she uses up all of her savings and is eligible for government assistance, she will have expended close to $300,000. My family realizes that this is my mother’s money until she dies. We have picked up the remaining costs, including supplemental health insurance, hearing aids, clothing, etc.

My mother just turned 100. She can walk with a walker and one person assisting. But I am at the nursing home 12 hours a day to provide the therapy that Medicare doesn’t. The staff here is kind and caring, but they have a limited amount of time, so I help out any way I can. I have seen residents who have no one to visit or keep their interest piqued. They tend to die sooner than patients who have visitors. I hope those uncaring people get the same treatment when they are old. -- Pat Dear Pat: There is no question that regular visits, especially those that encourage conversation and exercise, are beneficial for residents of nursing homes and any seniors who live alone.

We also know that doing so regularly requires commitment and dedication, and not everyone cares enough to put forth the effort. Your family sounds wonderful. Bless you.

HINTS FROM HELOISE DON’T ASK, DON’T TELL Dear Heloise: I’ve had many pets through the years, and of course they do fall ill, and sometimes gravely so. I have learned when talking to the veterinarian about my pet, I NEVER say, “What would you do if you were in my shoes?”

The vet is just there to give me the facts. Emotionally charged conversations about life and death are just too much. The decision about the care of my dog or cat ultimately is mine to make. -- A Reader in San Antonio This is certainly your decision, and many times it’s a hard one to make. That said, I can’t agree with you on this topic. The veterinarian is there to help BOTH you and your pet. Asking for advice is the best thing to do for your pet. You may not be aware of many factors that the vet knows. It’s not an easy or fun discussion, but I rely on the years of experience and vast knowledge these professionals have. Once you have as much information as you want, yes, it’s your decision, of course. Having had many, many beloved animals through the years, I always try to think in terms of what is best for my pet, not what is best for me. My pet cannot make the decision. Readers, do you have an opinion? I’d love to hear from you. -- Heloise 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. (c)2015 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

Brian Anderson

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, May 29, 2015: This year you seem to carry a magic wand in your back pocket. When you wish for something, it tends to become a reality. Be careful about what you wish for, though, because once you manifest it, you might decide you no longer want it! If you are single, your soaring popularity allows you to broaden your social circle. You might want to explore more than commit. If you are attached, the two of you will enter a very content period where communication will be delightful. You also might decide to pursue a dream trip that the two of you often have discussed. LIBRA adds gentleness to whatever is going on.

ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Being passive is not your thing, but with so much going on around you, you might not have a choice. A close friend or loved one is likely to express his or her feelings, and it could trigger a strong reaction. Remain calm.

Tonight: Kiss and make up.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You have a lot on your plate, so it might be best if you can work from home today. A major purchase could be in the offing, or at least part of your discussions. If you feel unsure about any aspect, hold off for now. Tonight: Run around the block. Bathing suit time is here!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Your imagination continues to be difficult to harness. Many of you will be focused on a new romance or a loved one. A case of spring fever could have you feeling very upbeat. A friend might make an off-the-wall comment that catches you off guard.

Tonight: Love the moment.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You’ll be coming from a grounded place. Many of you might consider taking off at the last minute to head to a local summer hot spot. A boss could be unpredictable. Be willing to say “no” to a nearly impossible request.

Tonight: You get others’ attention wherever you are.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Ask the right questions and you’ll get the right answers. You know that how you verbalize a request will determine the outcome. A loved one might find it hard -- if not impossible -- to say “no” to you. Be sure that you are not pushing this person too hard.

Tonight: TGIF! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Your funds will be a major topic of conversation. You seem to be unusually optimistic right now. Still, a risk could go too far. Not being open with a friend or loved one might have this person questioning your feelings.

Tonight: Good times don’t require a big budget.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You might wonder what others are complaining about. You are on the verge of achieving a long-term desire. Examine your options, but not for too long. Others seem to exhibit a certain amount of impulsiveness. Hang in there. Tonight: Accept a heartfelt compliment with grace.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HH Just because you aren’t in the spirit of the moment, that doesn’t mean you can’t free yourself up tomorrow.

Accomplish everything you need to as quickly as possible, clear out your desk, get errands done and think “weekend plans.” Tonight: Follow your instincts.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Friends have a way of gathering around you and pointing you in the right direction -- or so they think. Be careful, as you could forget to include a close loved one and cause yourself a problem that might be difficult to neutralize. Tonight: Follow your heart.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Every so often you get an offer that is too good to say “no” to. If you choose not to pursue that specific path, you will never know what was possible.

Make a point of breaking out of your conservative mindset, and just go for it.

Tonight: Surprises mark your interactions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH If you can detach and resist throwing yourself right into the middle of a situation, and you will like the results. Remember, you don’t need to jump on any matter immediately, although you might decide to do just that. Tonight: Ride the wave of the

Cryptoquip

Crosswords

unexpected.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You value friendship. As a result, you might choose to relate with others on more of a one-on-one level. Be careful about making any financial commitments just yet.

Rookie guards studying Patriots complex offensive system FOXBOROUGH, Mass.

(AP) — The New England Patriots’ two rookie guards are helping each other study the team’s complex offensive schemes.

They’ve already learned a much simpler strategy.

No matter what the question, answer cautiously or risk the wrath of their secretive coach.

Tre’ Jackson and Shaq Mason were drafted in the fourth round and have a chance at considerable playing time at a position where the Patriots need help.

They were among four of this year’s draftees who met with reporters Thursday.

One of them, third-round pick Geneo Grissom, said he was nervous to be speaking.

“I don’t want to say the wrong things,” the defensive end from Oklahoma said.

Mason also was careful not to say anything that might upset coach Bill Belichick. On four consecutive questions on different subjects, he used the phrase, “trying to get better.”

The former Georgia Tech star is rooming with Jackson, who attended Florida State.

That gives them more time to study and have someone to clear up something that confuses either of them.

“It’s great to have someone who is in the same boat as you,” Jackson said. “(I’m) just trying to get better with him.

You’re making him better.

He’s making me better.”

Another fourth-round pick, defensive end Trey Flowers from Arkansas, seemed more relaxed than the others.

“Naw, I wouldn’t say I’m nervous,” he said. “I’m pretty straightforward and I understand the things that need to be said to represent the Patriots.”

Avoid controversy. Discuss present challenges, not past achievements. Emphasize the team over the individual.

Caution is even more important in the wake of the findings of the NFL-commissioned investigation into the Patriots use of deflated footballs in the AFC championship game.

The Patriots were fined $1 million and docked two draft choices, a punishment owner Robert Kraft said he would accept. Quarterback Tom Brady is appealing his fourgame suspension.

Mason said he had met Brady, but, when asked what the quarterback said, Mason replied: “I’m just focusing on now.”

Jackson said he doesn’t view Mason as a competitor for playing time at guard.

“Of course not,” Jackson said. “He’s a teammate right now.”

He and Mason were recruited by Georgia Tech and Jackson committed there before going to Florida State.
