House passes multi-step process for new Conn. casino

By SUSAN HAIGH Associated Press HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — The House of Representatives voted early Friday to create a multi-step process for possibly opening a new tribal casino that proponents contend will help combat out-of-state gambling competition and protect jobs at the two existing casinos in southeastern Connecticut.

Despite strong opinions voiced against the prospect of a third casino in the state, including from some southeastern Connecticut lawmakers, the bill passed on an 88-55 vote.

It now moves to Gov. Dannel P. Malloy for his consideration.

Democratic Rep. Stephen Dargan, co-chairman of the General Assembly’s Public Safety Committee, acknowledged that this bill, unlike the original version, does not authorize more gambling. Rather, it requires the tribes to return to the legislature with a development agreement with a host community for lawmakers to consider. In the meantime, he said the bill sends a message to neighboring Springfield — where MGM Resorts plans to open new casino — that Connecticut is serious about protecting jobs.

“I think we’re taking a strong position stating how important jobs are,” Dargan said.

A consultant hired by the tribes, the Mashantucket Pequots and Mohegans, has warned that about 6,000 direct casino jobs at Foxwoods Resort Casino and Mohegan Sun and See New Casino, Page 8

Food fight prank at Westfield High

By HOPE E. TREMBLAY Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A food fight at Westfield High School yesterday was apparently a pre-planned senior class prank.

One student who was in the cafeteria at the time said she saw a piece of bologna fly across the cafeteria and suddenly all the seniors and some juniors stood up and started throwing food.

“It only lasted about a few minutes and nobody really threw anything back at them,” she said. “Most people ran for cover.”

The student said she quickly left the cafeteria and an announcement directed all students to go to their F Period class.

The student saw the school resource office and another officer enter the cafeteria.

“The teachers didn’t really say much about it but Mr. Carter came on the intercom and said they knew the first few people who

threw the food and there would be consequences,” she said.

Later that afternoon the seniors staged a walk-out and the students saw them standing around the parking lot when police arrived.

“When the officers showed up everyone dispersed,” she said.

The witness observed several students go to the nurse’s office following the incident, but she did not know if there were any serious injuries.

Another student witnessed the incident from a distance and said it was chaotic for a few minutes.

“I heard there was a staged fight outside to draw the teachers out of the cafeteria,” he said. “I saw some kids flip over a table and food was flying.”

Westfield Police offered no information on the food fight or walk-out last night.

WESTFIELD (AP) — Police investigating the stabbing of a teenage girl in Westfield say she was injured during a pre-arranged fight involving seven other girls.

Westfield police told The Republican newspaper that the fight at a playground Thursday night involved some girls from Westfield and some from Springfield.

A 15-year-old girl involved in the brawl was stabbed in her arms and legs. Police say she’s being treated at a hospital for non-life threatening wounds.

Authorities say the girls decided to “square off” against each other. What sparked the fight wasn’t disclosed.

None of the girls’ names have been released because of juvenile offender laws.

Rite-Aid construction set to begin next week

By HOPE E. TREMBLAY Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – More than a year after the Planning Board approved a special permit for Rite Aid to build a facility at 592 College Highway, construction activity has begun.

This week, water, gas and electric lines were cut in preparation for demolition of the existing building on the site next week.

Town Planner Alan Slessler said the hold-up was an appeal made by an abutter.

“Once approved, there is a 21-day appeal opportunity and there was an appeal from a resident,” said Slessler. “It went through the process and was See Construction, Page 7

Applications sought for parks improvement program BOSTON – The Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) is now seeking applications for the first phase of the fiscal year 2016 Partnerships Matching Funds Program from friends groups and other park advocacy groups, civic and community organizations, institutions, businesses, municipal governments, and dedicated individuals with an interest in improving the Commonwealth’s natural, cultural, and recreational resources.

Through the program, DCR will allocate $1.25 million in matching funds to finance capital projects at the agency’s parks, beaches, and other facilities. Past projects include: the design and construction of a new playground; repairs to historic buildings; trail and

path enhancements; and landscape improvements.

“The Partnerships Matching Funds Program is a great example of how DCR works together with residents and stakeholder organizations to improve our public resources,” said DCR Commissioner Carol Sanchez.

“We are proud to continue to build upon the success of the Partnership Matching Funds Program, which has been responsible for a combined investment by the Commonwealth and public and private partners in trails, green spaces, historic structures, and water resources of more than $10 million since 2004.”

Applications for DCR’s matching funds program must provide a match of non-state

funds for capital projects at the agency’s parks, beaches, and facilities to be considered.

Also, projects that require more than one year to plan and complete will also be under consideration. Once approved, DCR will manage the implementation of the projects in close consultation with the partner(s) making contributions. The agency will match projects dollar for dollar and will also consider providing a two-to-one match in certain instances.

For more information on the program, and to receive an application, call (617) 626-4989, or send an e-mail to tom.reece@state.ma.us.

Information and applications are also available at www.mass.gov/dcr under the “Get Involved” tab, and then click on “Partnerships.”

The property known as the former ABC site at 592 College Highway was prepped this week for demolition of the building to make way for a new Rite-Aid complete with drive-thru pharmacy.

Lifeguard requirement at Town Beach questioned

By HOPE E. TREMBLAY Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – The Parks and Recreation Commission is set to open the Town Beach Friday, June 26.

Commissioners said this week they do not have any lifeguards hired and have just one lifeguard application in-hand.

“Do we have to have a lifguard?” wondered Commissioner Susan Grabowski. “I go to beaches all the time and see signs that there is no lifeguard on duty.”

Commissioner Daniel Call said he would check with Health Director Thomas Fitzgerald.

“So we would have people at the gate, at concession, and a manager,” said Call. “We need to talk to Tom.” Other than the lifeguard concern, the Commission is getting ready for opening day. Hired staff should report to work June 25 to prepare for the opening.

A number of students and families were dressed in their ‘Sunday best’ (and some fancy hats were also noted!) and everyone brought their own tea cups as they visited in first grade classrooms. Students read their poetry to the guests who were able to attend.

In welcoming guests to her classroom, teacher Jennifer Bak explained how students had drafted and refined their poems, then published them to iPads where they were illustrated. “We went from not knowing much about poetry to becoming great poets,” Bak announced.

Teacher Gail Gingras said she values this learning unit, “Poetry is a great unit for the students to really show us their creative sides,” Gingras said.

Afterwards, students, staff and family members made their way to the Littleville Cafeteria, which was colorfully decorated by staff. A buffet table was bursting with fruit, cookies, muffins and other yummy items.

Boston snow piles still melting BOSTON (AP) — It’s disgusting enough to put you off snow cones for the rest of the summer.

A Boston public works official says the towering piles of filthy snow left over from the city’s record-setting winter are even more grotesque than most people can imagine.

Daniel Nee says one giant pile contains an estimated 86 tons of debris, and much of it is household garbage. Nee says two snowstorms struck after Bostonians put their trash out, and it all got swept up by passing plows.

Nee said Friday that as the piles melt, they’ve revealed fire hydrants, parking meters and other items. But he says a lot of rotting garbage is still buried in the leftover snow.

Officials think the piles easily could last until the Fourth of July or longer.

Teen charged with taking $25K, giving classmates $100 bills MEDINA, Ohio (AP) — A 13-year-old Ohio boy accused of stealing $25,000 from his 83-year-old grandfather and handing out $100 bills to his middle school classmates has been charged as a juvenile.

The Medina Gazette reports the boy was charged with delinquency by way of theft from the elderly.

Authorities say the boy gave away thousands of dollars last month before schools officials discovered what was happening.

Investigators recovered some of the money, and some already had been spent.

The newspaper says a teenage friend also faces a delinquency count related to receiving stolen property after police determined he received cash and gave it to his grandparents, who took the teens on a shopping spree.

The county prosecutor says those grandparents haven’t been charged.

It’s not clear if the boys have attorneys.

Councilor Hoose: Support local vet reps As a veteran, I was pleased with the Memorial Day Parade, and the ceremony a Stanley Park. We often forget that Decoration Day, the original Memorial Day start after the Civil War. But, while they created a holiday for their veterans, they also reneged on their promised benefits.

Likewise, our WWI vets had their war bonus reneged upon, even after marching on Washington D.C., and camping out there to get congress to keep their promise. Federal troops were even used to break up their camps. It was with WWII that the Fed final-

ly realized no war was to end all wars, and we would need defenders once again.

I say this as our Statehouse is looking into ending the existence of local vet reps, instead having centralized/ regional vet offices. As a veteran, and someone who first thing when I started going to HCC started a veterans club, organized statewide to improve VietNam vet benefits, and who was a liaison to our then CongressmanConte to represent difficult vet issues, I realize the importance of having someone nearby; someone who knows

New ‘robocall’ rules could leave Americans in the dark Pollsters see the FCC’s proposed guidelines on automated calls as an existential threat

By STEVEN SHEPARD Politico.com For many Americans, the idea of technology that can block automated telephone calls sounds like a solution to all those annoying “robocalls” and interrupted family dinners.

But to the nation’s pollsters and campaign professionals, many of whom are gearing up for the 2016 election cycle, a federal government proposal circulated Wednesday to encourage phone companies to embrace the technology feels like an existential threat.

As a result, they say, Americans might soon know much less about what they think about everything from which candidates are gaining or losing ground to what issues voters care about most. And political campaigns might be forced to abandon tools they currently use to reach large numbers of voters in a short period of time.

The Federal Communications Commission says it receives more complaints about unwanted phone calls than any other issue. As a response, the FCC is asking phone companies to offer services to their customers that block calls placed by an automatic dialer.

Pollsters are asking to be exempted from the new guidelines, arguing that legitimate researchers shouldn’t be grouped with telemarketers and debt-collectors. But, for now, the FCC has no plans to establish a carve-out for telephone surveys.

In a blog post on the FCC’s website on Wednesday, chairman Tom Wheeler said that the commission was “giving the green light for robocall-blocking technology.”

“The FCC wants to make it clear: Telephone companies can — and in fact should — offer consumers robocall-blocking tools,” Wheeler wrote.

The commission plans on considering the rules at a June 18 meeting in Washington.

But survey researchers say those tools would spell their doom: They would undercut a key element of the science behind modern telephone polling and make the work they can do cost-prohibitive.

When reached by Politico Campaign Pro, a few pollsters said they assumed that, as with the federal “Do Not Call” registry, the new guidelines would apply only to telemarketers, not to legitimate survey research.

Not so, says the research industry’s lobbyist in Washington.

The proposed rules are “potentially devastating to the survey, opinion and marketing research profession,” said Howard Fienberg, director of governmental affairs at the Marketing Research Association. “The FCC and the chairman are playing fast and loose with their terms, using unwanted calls, telemarketing calls, and robocalls interchangeably, and conflating illegal telemarketing scams with legitimate calls.”

The FCC, which says the new rules would be a win for consumers and were informed by extensive public comments, declined to address pollsters’ claims that they are See Robocall Rules, Page 8

Get ready for a World Cup schism After Blatter's re-election, Europe could boycott Moscow in 2018

By PETER BERLIN Politico.com ZURICH — Sepp Blatter was understandably in a warm and fuzzy mood on Friday evening after he won a fifth term as president of FIFA, world soccer’s governing body.

The President for Life looked down from the stage at his constituency, spread his arms and declared: “I am the president of everybody.”

That remains in question. He could see out his reign as the aging king of a divided kingdom with the jewel in his crown, the World Cup, shattered into separate pieces.

The election was more of a contest than anticipated.

Blatter’s opponent, Prince Ali bin Hussein of Jordan, received 73 votes to four-term incumbent’s 133. It was enough, in theory, to force a second ballot. Yet Ali, to the loud gratitude of the delegates, withdrew. Blatter flattered the Prince on his “strong showing.” The rhino-skinned president can shrug off the protest vote. The danger is that FIFA’s other troubles will give the anti-Blatter hardliners the opportunity to take dramatic action. If they cannot overthrow Blatter, they can break away from his fiefdom.

Blatter’s staunchest opponents have already uttered the word “boycott,” normally taboo among polite (and politic) sports administrators. The next World Cup in Russia in 2018 is the target.

Blatter is too sharp a politician not to spot the threat. He is also too ruthless not to contemplate a solution. He boasted after his re-election that he was still “in command of the boat of FIFA.” In a typically ambiguous statement, which could be taken as implying that FIFA’s critics were sore losers, he also seemed to hint that he might be prepared to throw even the next two hosts, Qatar and Russia, overboard to avoid his boat sinking.

“If two other countries had emerged from the envelope, I don’t think we would have these problems today,” he said. *** On Friday, Blatter, while still the outgoing president, welcomed the newly elected members of the all-powerful Executive Committee on stage one by one. David Gill, the 6-foot-5-inch tall Englishman, smiled and bowed as he loomed over Blatter. It was only the illusion of friendship.

On Thursday, Gill, the former chief executive of Manchester United, had said he would not take his seat if Blatter were re-elected. That promise will be tested when the ExCo, already shorn of several members by police actions, meets on Saturday.

Gill is not the only English schismatic.

Greg Dyke, the head of the English Football Association, told Sky TV on Friday that England wanted a boycott of the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Dyke, a man who can give Blatter a good contest in the buffoonery stakes, hedged his bets slightly. “There would be no point pulling England out if everyone else stays in. It would have no impact. It would just be forgotten,” he said. “But if you could pull UEFA out, that might have an impact.”

Michel Platini, head of UEFA, the governing body of European soccer, is a more cautious politician, but he can smell blood in the water. On Thursday, he hinted at a boycott and told a news conference: “If Mr. Blatter wins, UEFA will meet in Berlin to discuss the future of our relations with FIFA.” UEFA is also upset with FIFA because it feels it is underrepresented at the World Cup. To reward his supporters in Africa, Asia and North America, Blatter awards lower-ranked teams from those regions more places at the expense of Europe, which dominates the performance rankings. The fundamental problem for the European nations is that FIFA’s one-nation, one-vote system means that they will always pay for the party, but never receive as many invitations or have a chance of running it.

The Russia World Cup is a target for two reasons. First, the unpopularity of Vladimir Putin’s policies makes Russia vulnerable. In late March, a bipartisan group of 13 U.S. Senators, led by John McCain, called for a boycott. The second dimension, as Blatter said in his election speech on Friday afternoon, is commercial: The World Cup is the goose that lays FIFA’s golden egg. That goose is fed mostly in Western

Europe, where the political attacks are originating, and the United States, where a judicial assault on FIFA was launched earlier this week.

The financial report presented to the FIFA Congress on Friday shows that last year $295 million out of FIFA’s $736 million in TV revenue came from Europe. In 2013, a World Cup qualifying year, European TV revenues contributed $302 million of a total of $601 million, more than half. Over the four-year cycle to 2014, marketing rights totaled more than $1.5 billion. The lion’s share of that comes from FIFA’s seven “partners”. Of those four, Visa, Budweiser, McDonalds and Coca-Cola are American. A fifth, Adidas, is German. It is no wonder three of those — Visa, Adidas and Coke — fired out rapid calls for more transparency from FIFA after the arrests.

They probably had them ready.

The threat is that Western Europe and the United States will pick up their ball and their TV and commercial contracts and stage a World Cup of their own.

Putin is unlikely to acquiesce. He is pursuing a policy of guns and circuses. He spent somewhere above $50 billion, more even that Beijing, on the Sochi Olympics — and that was only a Winter Games. Russia has already invested heavily in preparing for the 2018 World Cup. Putin will respond to this challenge with intimidation. It is a policy that has enjoyed some success.

Whatever happens, there will be a World Cup in Russia.

But it would take only a few European nations to boycott to ensure that a lot of the biggest names in soccer would not be there. The South American and African nations are likely to stay loyal to FIFA, but that doesn’t mean their best players will.

Putin is not helped by the fact that Qatar, widely regarded as an absurd choice as a host, is next in line. Most big European clubs are deeply hostile to the Qatar World Cup. The big clubs, as Blatter acknowledged on Friday, are where the soccer power is. Even though several big European clubs are under either Qatari or Russian control, those clubs would benefit from the open season a boycott would create on nonEuropean talent.

If European nations withdraw from FIFA, that immediately means that neither side is obliged to respect the contracts of players who are no longer under the same umbrella. European clubs would be free to pillage any talent that wasn’t already on the continent.

The concentration of the best players in Western Europe means that even if Argentina or Brazil send teams to Russia, UEFA could ask Lionel Messi and Neymar of Barcelona to choose between their club or their country. Such is the competition for live sports in European markets that an alternative World Cup would have no trouble selling TV rights, while the major broadcasters would line up to ask FIFA for rebates for the Russian rump World Cup. “I will not touch the World Cup, the World Cup is too important,” Blatter said on Friday. But if push comes to shove, Blatter knows there is one thing even more important than the World Cup. It is Joseph S. Blatter, President of FIFA. ——— Peter Berlin covered global soccer for 20 years for the Financial Times and then the International Herald Tribune.

Boston leader assures IOC on securing support for 2024 bid The Boston bid has struggled ever since it was chosen by the USOC in December as the American candidate over Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington. Polls have shown local support for the Boston bid at below 50 percent.

“We addressed that by telling them the truth,” Pagliuca said, adding that the weeks of snow that buried Boston this winter and shut down the local transit system had put a damper on the idea of undertaking a massive project like the Olympics.

“We’ve seen a bounce-back in public support as the snow has cleared out and the governor has come out with a very aggressive plan to get the public transportation system world-class,” he said in a telephone interview.

Now, Pagliuca said, Boston 2024’s priority is to lay out the facts for the public and show the games can help transform the city in line with its 2030 urban plans.

“We’re going about doing that now at a feverish pace to finalize these plans and get them out there,” he said.

Boston suburb votes overwhelmingly against bid for Olympics BROOKLINE, Mass. (AP) — Brookline wants nothing to do with Boston's bid to bring the 2024 Summer Olympics to the city.

Residents of the Boston suburb voted 111-46 Thursday in a non-binding referendum to oppose the bid.

Town meeting members said that Brookline was never consulted about hosting the Olympics before Boston 2024 submitted its bid to the United States Olympic Committee last year.

Brookline Board of Selectman Chairman Neil Wishinsky and fellow selectmen are worried taxpayers could become saddled with costs and are concerned with how traffic and public transit will be handled.

No representative of Boston 2024 spoke at Thursday's meeting, but a letter from the bid committee was handed out asking residents to hold off on a vote until a revised plan to bring the Olympics to Boston is released June 30.

“Hopefully that will get done by mid-July.”

Pagliuca said Boston won’t go forward “unless we see the risks are far less than the rewards.”

USOC board member Angela Ruggiero said at a hearing in Boston that week that the USOC was still vetting the bid and there was “no guarantee” the city would be put forward as the U.S. candidate.

That fueled more speculation that Boston could be dumped in favor of Los Angeles – which hosted the Olympics in 1932 and 1984 – before the Sept. 15 deadline for submission of bids to the IOC. The USOC has a board meeting on June 30, where Boston bid leaders will present an update.

“I’m sure it will be a lively discussion,” Blackmun told the AP from Lausanne.

Asked whether Boston would definitely be the U.S. candidate, Blackmun said: “The position is Boston is our bid city. We selected them because their bid aligned with what the IOC wants. We’re extremely excited about the vision that they’ve laid out.”

Rome and Hamburg, Germany, are also declared bidders. Paris and Budapest, Hungary, are expected to enter the race soon. The IOC will select the host city in 2017.

Wednesday’s talks centered on the “Olympic Agenda 2020″ reform program approved by the IOC in December. The IOC wants to make bidding and hosting more flexible and less expensive, stressing long-term lega-

Marathon bomber's friend fights officer's family testimony STEVE PAGLIUCA cy and use of existing and temporary venues.

“This is great for Boston,” Pagliuca said. “I came away heartened by the impact that is going to have on cost-effective and creative games for Boston and for bid cities in general.”

No Boston Olympics, which opposes the games, sent a letter to the IOC on Tuesday stating that polls have shown that less than half of residents support the bid and the project will require costly construction.

“Boston is a world-class city and our citizens do not seek the IOC’s approval or endorsement,” the letter said. “Many here in Massachusetts do not believe Boston 2024’s bid will help us move forward …

Instead, we think Boston 2024 could make some of our region’s civic challenges worse, while threatening our state’s fiscal health.”

Blackmun said the opponents are raising “very legitimate questions.”

“I think in due time Boston 2024 will have answers to those questions,” he said.

BOSTON (AP) — Lawyers for a college friend of Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev are trying to prevent the family of a slain Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer from testifying at his sentencing.

Dias Kadyrbayev (DY'-us kah-dur-BY'-ehv) is to be sentenced Tuesday after pleading guilty to impeding the investigation of the 2013 bombing, which killed three people and injured more than 260.

His attorneys filed a motion Friday in federal court in Boston seeking to prevent victim impact statements by relatives of MIT Officer Sean Collier, who was shot in an encounter with Tsarnaev and his brother. The Boston Herald was first to report on the motion.

Collier's family said in a statement released this week that Kadyrbayev might have prevented Collier's death by helping authorities find Tsarnaev.

By STEPHEN WILSON AP Sports Writer LONDON (AP) — The new leader of Boston’s troubled bid for the 2024 Olympics assured the IOC on Wednesday that local residents will support the effort once they’ve been fully informed of the plans and the long-term benefits of the games.

“Our point today was that an informed public is our best ally,” Steve Pagliuca told The Associated Press after daylong talks with International Olympic Committee officials in Lausanne, Switzerland.

A delegation of Boston and U.S. Olympic Committee leaders traveled to IOC headquarters as part of the new “invitation phase” for bid cities.

The Boston group was headed by Pagliuca, the Boston Celtics co-owner who took over as bid chairman last Thursday, replacing construction magnate John Fish. The USOC team included chairman Larry Probst and CEO Scott Blackmun.

Judge: Protesters must leave closed Catholic church June 5 SCITUATE, Mass. (AP) — The clock is once again ticking for parishioners ordered to leave a shuttered Catholic church south of Boston where they have staged a protest for nearly 11 years.

A Massachusetts judge on Friday denied a request by the Friends of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Church to suspend his order that they leave the Scituate property, pending the group's appeal to a higher court.

Instead, Norfolk County Superior Court Judge Edward Leibensperger gave them a new deadline of June 5 to leave the premises.

"Defendants may, of course, continue their protest of the decision to close the parish, but they may not do so by an around-the-clock vigil in violation of the (Boston archdiocese's) property rights established by neutral princi-

ples of property law," the judge said in his ruling.

Former parishioners have kept a vigil at St. Frances since the archdiocese closed the church in 2004. They want the archdiocese to restore their parish's standing or sell them the building, and say they're prepared to be arrested as trespassers if necessary.

Earlier this month, Leibensperger ruled the group was trespassing on property owned by the archdiocese and should leave before May 29. He temporarily lifted the deadline to consider the group's request, which he denied Friday.

In court filings this week, the archdiocese opposed the delay. But it hasn't said what it would do if protesters refuse to leave. A spokesman declined to comment Friday.

Two chamber choirs One common passion WESTFIELD — On Saturday, June 20 at 7:30 pm, Church of the Atonement (36 Court Street, Westfield) hosts a special concert with the professional chamber choir Novi Cantori and a guest choir from Finland, during their first-ever United States tour.

Novi Cantori, which performs regularly in Springfield and the Pioneer Valley region, is led by Artistic Director Ellen Gilson Voth. The possibility of Novi Cantori presenting a joint concert with the renowned Tapiola Chamber Choir of Finland first emerged in January, when Voth and the Tapiola tour manager discussed a visit to MA as part of their east coast tour.

“The opportunity to bring together choirs from opposite sides of the world is rare and incredibly inspiring,” says Voth. “We are thrilled to culminate our 2014-15 season with this one-of-akind event, and to present it in Westfield, a community that has long shown enthusiastic support Jon Rogers, a lead organizer in an effort to save the church, talks on the telephone regarding for Novi Cantori."

Tickets at the door are $10 per person/$8 students and seniors.

Construction

Continued from Page 1 approved. It was unfortunate, but it happens a lot.”

A site construction meeting with the building, planning, health and fire departments is set for June 1 to make sure the site is ready for demolition.

The property is adjacent to the Mobil station in the center of town and will bring in more tax revenue while providing convenience to customers.

“It will have a nice drive-thru and I think it will be a plus for that corner,” said Assessor Sue Gore.

Gore said the lot is 1.5 acres and the proposed facility will be 11,944 square-feet, including 11,186 square-feet on the main level plus a 758 square-foot mezzanine.

Once complete, the new Rite-Aid will have 51 parking spaces, including three handicap spots, and a driveway connecting to the Mobil station.

“It will be quite a bit larger than the current space,” said Slessler, “and much more valuable.”

Design consultants for Rite-Aid first presented plans to the Planning Board in March, 2013.

U.S. gambling market saturated, yet casinos keep on coming

By WAYNE PARRY Associated Press ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — The casino market in the northeastern United States is saturated, yet that’s not stopping some states from approving gambling legislation and companies from building new gambling halls.

That’s the consensus of participants at a major casino conference in Atlantic City.

Eugene Johnson, of Spectrum Gaming Group, says by the end of this year, there will be 60 casinos in the northeast. That figure will grow to 65 by 2018, according to his colleague, Joe Weinert.

“There’s not a politician in the land who is going to choose a tax increase when gaming looks so good on paper,” said Wendy Hamilton, general manager of Philadelphia’s SugarHouse casino. “We have to avoid the siren song. There’s not a zip code in the region that doesn’t have four or five (gambling) options within an hour.”

Asked if casino closings outside New Jersey are likely, she said nothing appears imminent, but “of course it’s going to happen” if expansion continues at its current pace.

“Pennsylvania doesn’t care what happens to New Jersey, and New York doesn’t care what happens to Pennsylvania,” she said. “It just can’t go on forever. There’s a finite amount of gaming revenue out there. We are

in a very volatile time and we’re in a frenzy of gaming expansion. It needs to stop.”

Ed Sutor, president of Dover Downs casino in Delaware, said the entire mid-Atlantic region saw decreasing revenue in the first quarter of this year.

“New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Maryland — the entire market is down,” he said. “That is, friends, saturation. You’re just moving money around. You bring in a new operator and the money just moves around and the entire market doesn’t go up.”

Sutor noted his state is considering adding three more casinos, which he said “makes no sense.”

Atlantic City has lost half its casino revenue and thousands of jobs to competition from Pennsylvania, which is now under pressure from casinos in Ohio and Maryland, said William Ryan Jr. chairman of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board.

“We in Pennsylvania know the competition we now confront will always be there, and the days of double digit growth in that area are probably gone,” he said.

More casinos are planned soon for Philadelphia, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maryland and New York.

Hamilton noted that a planned second Philadelphia casino is being appealed to the state Supreme Court.

“There’s a lot of competition right now,” she said. “If you look at the

Ratings firm leaves grades unchanged for Wynn, Sands and MGM LAS VEGAS (AP) — Fitch Ratings analysts say they aren’t changing ratings for Wynn Resorts Ltd., Las Vegas Sands Corp. and MGM Resorts International despite a worse than expected situation in the lucrative Asian-gambling enclave of Macau that has dragged down finances.

The ratings firm said Friday that they believe the three casino-hotel companies can withstand the pressures of

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.

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.

Macau’s downturn which has been a result of a government crackdown on corruption leading to fewer high-roller gamblers visiting casinos. Fitch expects gambling revenue in Macau to decline another 29 percent in 2015.

The firm’s analysts are keeping MGM’s issuer default rating at B+, Wynn’s at BB and Las Vegas Sands at BBB-.

Wynn and MGM won gambling licenses last year to open casinos in Massachusetts in the Boston suburb and Everett and Springfield, respectively.

New Casino 3,000 indirect jobs in the southeastern region and elsewhere could be lost due to competition from MGM. The bill is a retooled version of an original proposal that would have allowed the tribes to open up to three casinos to help combat out-of-state gambling competition. Attorney General George Jepsen warned the legislation could prompt legal challenges, risk the revenue sharing agreement between the tribes and the state and make it easier for other tribes that might receive federal recognition to open a casino.

The latest proposal allows the Mohegans and Mashantucket Pequots to enter into a development agreement with one host community. That deal would ultimately

just moving money around,” said Chris Brown, a New Jersey state senator from near Atlantic City, who opposes a plan to extend casino gambling to other parts of the state. “All you’re doing is cannibalizing the market you already have.”

Lou Kirven, an executive with New York’s Empire City casino, said adding two northern New Jersey casinos to a market also planning for three new southern New York casinos would be “one

too many. We have saturation.”

Bill Hayles, vice president and general manager of Pennsylvania’s Hollywood casino at Penn National Race Course, said Maryland’s casinos have cut into his business.

“We’re feeling it from the Baltimore region, seeing some erosion in our business,” he said.

“The sad part is before they open, you spend all your time trying to figure out how to right-size your own property.”

Continued from Page 1 need federal and state legislative approval.

The tribes issued a joint statement expressing gratitude for the bill, which they hope Malloy will sign into law.

They said the bill will “begin a process by the Mohegan and Mashantucket Pequot Tribes to invest millions to identify the best site for a satellite gaming facility in north central Connecticut, and to work with state and federal officials to ensure the state and our two tribal governments are legally protected.”

Rep. John Scott, R-Groton, whose district includes a part of Ledyard where Foxwoods is located, urged his colleagues to oppose the bill. He warned that business at those casinos is already down and it has nothing to do with the planned Springfield

facility.

“I’m not convinced that expanding gambling in other parts of the state is going to help eastern Connecticut where I come from,” he said, adding how he’s seen people in the region “blow their life savings” after gambling at the casinos.

Rep. Mike France, R-Ledyard, whose district includes both casinos, said he’s experienced nearly unanimous support from constituents for the bill, especially workers who’ve been employed at the two facilities for many years.

“They are very happy with their jobs at the casinos and see them as good employers that take care of them,” he said, adding how “this is the decision that needs to be made today.”

Some pollsters see a silver lining, however: If landline respondents have to be hand-dialed just like cell phones, there’s no reason for pollsters and groups who sponsor polls to skimp on cellphone calls to save money. “In round numbers, it equalizes the costs between cell phones and landlines,” said McHenry.

But ultimately, the new regulations, if adopted, could be another significant blow for the telephone polling industry, which has been reeling from Americans’ move away from landlines and increasing embrace of mobile phones. The FCC proposal would further encode rules treating pollsters just like telemarketers when it comes to working over the phone.

“The new regulations would just make a bad situation much worse, threatening the integrity and results of research and the companies, organizations and governments that rely upon it,” Fienberg said.

The difficulties with phone polling have led many firms to start conducting surveys over the Internet. But roughly one-in-10 adults live in households without web access, primarily older and lower-income Americans. And some survey researchers balk at using a selfselecting, non-random sample to represent the opinions of the entire population.

Pollsters, meanwhile, are caught in the middle: Phone polling is getting significantly harder, and Internet polling is, for many, not yet a viable replacement.

A few pollsters predicted that if the new regulations are wide-ranging enough to complicate existing campaign practices like robocalls and polling, politicians will find a way to scuttle them before they are adopted.

“Also, wouldn’t it kill ‘tele-town halls?’” Newhouse, the GOP pollster, asked in an email, referring to the increasingly utilized form of constituent engagement. “If members of Congress believed those were at risk, they’d probably revolt!”

By ROBBY VERONESI Correspondent WESTFIELD – After winning the first matchup via mercy rule in Springfield earlier this season, the second meeting between Saint Mary’s High School and the High School of Science and Technology proved to be a tighter affair at Bullens Field Friday.

The Saints fell behind midway through the game to the two-win Cybercats, but used a fifth-inning rally to pull ahead and defeat SciTech, 5-4, in game one of an unusual doubleheader.

“I think they showed up expecting this game to be easier than it was,” said Head Coach Troy Collins. “You can’t just show up and play. This game will humble you in a hurry if you do that.

It’s tough when they know they have two games, but we have to continue this. We’re happy to come away with a win.”

Saint Mary’s (13-6, 7-3 Bi-County North) jumped on top early, scoring two runs in the first inning and a single run in the second inning, aided by a trio off Sci-Tech errors.

Shaun Gezotis started the game by reaching on a throwing error, then came home on another throwing error forced by Charlie White’s groundball.

In the second inning, Nate Bonini led off by reaching on another throwing error, then advanced to third base before the visitors from Springfield threw the ball in. The Saints’ second baseman would later score on the lone wild pitch thrown by Sci-Tech starting pitcher Richard Lopez.

Lopez held the Saints offense scoreless for the next two innings, but the hosts regained the lead in the fifth inning on the back of another Cybercat error. White led the inning by reaching on the third throwing error from third base,

After reaching on a three-base error, Nate Bonini scored on a wild pitch to put Saint Mary's up 3-0 in the second inning.

After defeating both Sci-Tech (5-4) and Pioneer Valley (16-3) Friday to close the season, Saint Mary’s finishes with a 14-6 (7-3 Bi-County North) record and will now await their seed in the Division IV Tournament. the first time the leadoff batter reached for the Saints since the second inning.

With two on and one out, Ryan Gendron drove in White to tie the game and senior Harry Reid drove in the eventual winning run on a sacrifice fly to left field, putting SMHS up 5-4.

“It’s easy to lose focus when you have a mixture of seniors and a lot of young players,” said Collins. “It’s easy to lose focus when you look ahead and see that we’re up by a few runs, and then you start giving atbats away and next thing you know, you’re down 4-3 in the fourth inning. It’s tough to turn on and off, but it does happen.”

Jacob Butler earned his first victory of the season in his first start for the Saints, pitching a complete game, giving up four runs, three of which coming in Sci-Tech’s big fourth inning to take the lead. The freshman struck out five Cybercats, as well as retire 10

of the last 12 batters of the game to preserve the victory.

“Jacob pitched very, very well and he pitched as well as we expected him to,” said Collins. “We kept his pitch count in the low 80s, so I was very happy with his performance. If we had supported him a little better, and made some plays that we usually make behind him, it might have been a lot easier on him.”

The Saints continue their unusual doubleheader Friday night, resuming their Wednesday night non-conference showdown with Pioneer Valley. Serving as the final game of the regular season, the scheduled Senior Night game was suspended due to rain with the visiting Panthers ahead 3-0 in the bottom of the first inning.

St. Mary rallied for five runs in the bottom of the first inning, and cruised to a 16-3 victory.

No. 2 WHS draws Comp; action begins Sunday

By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Let the (postseason) games begin!

After surviving a delayed start to the season, a jam-packed scheduled with little reprieve, and two tough losses to Longmeadow, the defending west sectional champion Westfield High School boys’ lacrosse team is about to embark on another postseason journey.

On Friday, the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association unveiled the Central-West Division 2 boys’ lacrosse tournament seedings, and there was little surprise as to the top two teams in the 16-team tournament field.

Westfield (15-2) drew the No. 2 seed and will host 15th-seeded Chicopee Comp (11-5) Sunday at 3 p.m.

The Bombers ran roughshod over their competition this season, losing only to the Longmeadow Lancers (twice).

Longmeadow (17-3), which earned the overall No. 1 seed, defeated Westfield 10-8 in a midseason tilt and 13-6 Tuesday.

BOYS’ VOLLEYBALL: The Westfield Bombers boys’ volleyball team (No. 2 seed, 16-2 record) will host No. 7 East Longmeadow (12-7) in a Division 1 quarterfinal Monday at 6:30 p.m.

The Spartans swept the 10th seeded Holyoke Purple Knights (9-10) in three straight sets in first round postseason action to earn a meeting with the Bombers.

TRACK & FIELD: The West-Central Division high school track and field championships will be decided Saturday.

The Westfield boys’ and girls’ teams travel to Fitchburg State University for the Division 1 championships.

The Division 2 crown will be decided at Westfield State University. Both events begin at 10 a.m.

The Southwick boys’ track and field team claimed the Division 2 district title Friday at Wahconah Regional High School, and will look to carry that momentum over into the weekend.

Another local favorite to watch is

Holyoke Catholic’s Julie Carroll, of Southwick who won the girls’ two-mile race (11:50.26) at districts last weekend.

KEY POSTESEASON DATES: Tournament brackets for the following sports will be announced in the coming week: baseball (June 1), softball (June 2), and boys’ and girls’ team tennis (June 2).

Belichick avoids direct answers

By HOWARD ULMAN AP Sports Writer FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Coach Bill Belichick shed little light Friday in his first public remarks since the report was issued on the Patriots' use of deflated footballs.

He avoided direct answers to most of the 10 questions he was asked about Tom Brady, backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and how the team was handling the fallout from the investigation.

Brady, who is appealing his four-game suspension, did not speak with reporters after New England's organized team activity or at a charity event Friday night.

A person familiar with the situation said Brady's appeal will be heard June 23. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the date hasn't been officially announced.

Patriots owner Robert Kraft has accepted the team penalty of a $1 million fine and loss of two draft picks.

Asked if he agreed with that decision, Belichick said, "He made a statement on it last week."

The rest of his answers focused mostly on the need to improve every day and to work hard.

Asked if he was preparing to start the season with Garoppolo as the starter, Belichick said, "I'm just going day by day right now. Everybody's working hard trying to get better."

How tough was it to watch the scandal unfold during the past month?

"We're just working hard every day to come out here and get better, coaches, players, everybody in the organization," he said.

Did the issue detract from the team's enjoyment of its Super Bowl win over See Belichick, Page 14

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

3

SPEED FREAKS

3 questions we had to ask — ourselves Will this kick-start Carl Edwards into title contention?

THINGS WE LEARNED AT CHARLOTTE

ROB’S RAMBLINGS: Title contention, no.

But wasn’t it kind of cool to see that back flip again?

KEN’S CALL: Fuelmileage victories don’t kick-start anything, except debates on the worthiness of fuelmileage wins.

Associated Press/JOHN RAOUX

Will Mark Martin finally climb into the Hall of Fame next year?

Gotta ask, is 600 miles too much?

Almost was for Denny Hamlin, who drove the last 100 miles feeling like he was gonna puke. As we ponder what that’d be like if you were wearing a full-faced racing helmet ... Ugh ... where were we? Let’s move on.

Who’ll be next firsttime winner?

Shorter races?

ROB’S RAMBLINGS: Truex is the obvious answer with 11 top-10s in 12 races, but rooting for Jeff.

KEN’S CALL: It’s gotta be Martin Truex, right?

Eventually, right?

Right?

This week they’re at Dover, where races were shortened from 500 to 400 miles in the late-’90s. Even Pocono was eventually convinced to lop off 100 miles. The coming years will likely see plenty of changes, including race lengths. At some places, less will be more.

Will Jeff Gordon be a good broadcaster?

Never too early. I really thought Mark Martin and Rick Hendrick were going in with last week’s voting, so that should make them my two favorites for next year. Make Benny Parsons the third favorite.

Too early to handicap next HOF?

ROB’S RAMBLINGS: In reference to my last answer, my heart — and ears — do not want Jeff here. Maybe just make a guest appearance every now and then.

KEN’S CALL: He’s excellent at explaining the nuances of being a racer, but he’s too nice to ruffle feathers, and we can use some of that in the booth.

1. Carl still has it

2. Hamlin’s headache

3. Daddy Kyle is back

Carl Edwards snapped a 31race winless streak, even if it was a fuel-mileage victory.

But he still has it when it comes to his signature back flip. Maybe this win could be what jump-starts Edwards, who has struggled this season with just one top-10 and an average finish of 18.8.

No matter how intense Denny Hamlin’s migraine was Sunday, he leaves Charlotte loving the track and his car setup. After winning the All-Star Race on May 16, he nearly pulled off another win at the track. If not for a vibration in a wheel that forced him into the pits late, he had a legitimate shot at the double.

There was some question about Kyle Busch’s ability to handle a 600-mile race after a long layoff stemming from a crash in the season-opening Xfinity race at Daytona. The new father — his son was born May 18 — answered with an 11th-place finish in his first points race since returning.

Yes, two new Hall of Famers (Jerry Cook, Bobby Isaac) received less than 50 percent of the vote, yet they’re Hall of Famers. Yes, standards should be higher. But remember, the Hall is a business. Put more people in, potentially draw more paying customers.

THINGS TO WATCH FOR AT DOVER

JEFF GORDON

Brad Keselowski may have this race circled on his calendar after finishing second twice here last season and winning one pole. With one win and eight top-10s in 12 races this season, don’t be surprised with another strong Dover run.

2. A Chevy sweep

WHAT’S ON TAP

Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon put Chevy in Victory Lane here last season. Chevy put five cars in the top 10 in the first race and five in the top eight in the second.

3. Come on, Gordon, get it over with Jeff Gordon has to win in his farewell tour. He just has to. So let’s play this game one more time.

Gordon led 94 laps — the second most — in winning the Sept. 28 race here.

Associated Press/CHRIS KEANE

Brad Keselowski finished second at Dover twice last season. Is a win in his immediate future?

XFINITY: Buckle Up 200 SITE: Dover International Speeway SCHEDULE: Friday, practice (Fox Sports 1, 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.), Saturday, qualifying (Fox Sports 1, 11 a.m.), race (Fox, 2:30 p.m.).

WILLIS’ DOVER PICKS WINNER: Matt Kenseth REST OF TOP FIVE: Harvick, Johnson, Logano, Kurt Busch.

DARK HORSE: Austin Dillon.

FIRST ONE OUT: Ricky Stenhouse.

LARRY MCREYNOLDS

JEFF GORDON VS. LARRY MCREYNOLDS: Gordon gets Larry Mac’s seat in the Fox booth next year, while Larry heads to pit-side studio.

KEN WILLIS’ TAKE: Yes, we’re cooking up this one: No bitterness from Larry Mac, at least not publicly.

1. Keselowski’s place

44 percent? Shouldn’t Hall standard be higher?

Carl Edwards does a back flip from his car after winning the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday at Charlotte Motor Speedway. How much longer until we see that back flip again?

DON’T BE SURPRISED: If Stenhouse isn’t soon worried about his ride.

He has to start producing, assuming Jack Roush hasn’t suddenly accumulated a ton of patience.

DID YOU KNOW? Jeff Gordon’s most recent Sprint Cup Series win came in September at Dover, where he dominated.

He led the final 71 laps and was 4-plus seconds ahead of runner-up Brad Keselowski at the end. It was the 92nd win of Gordon’s career, and presumably not his last. We think.

Annie’s Mailbox

By KATHY MITCHELL and MARCY SUGAR

What can I do?

Dear Annie: Due to financial problems, my husband and I recently had to move into my in-laws’ home. Not a day goes by that I am not chastised or put down for the choices that led us to this situation. My “frivolous spending habits” seem to be the sole reason we are here. They totally disregard the illness that kept their son from working, his alcoholism and his gambling.

Those subjects never come up. I took out loans to pay rent when he couldn’t work and am still paying those off.

My mother-in-law treats me like a child. My three teenage kids have started telling her the things they used to tell me. My feelings are so hurt. When my husband lost his job, our insurance went with it, so I can no longer see my psychiatrist. I am disabled and would have a hard time leaving. I have no one to turn to. What can I do? -- California Dear California: You don’t need us to tell you that you should get out of that toxic environment as soon as possible. Have you spoken to your husband about this? He needs to stand up for you and make sure his parents treat you with more respect.

But you also might enlist your in-laws’ assistance in dealing with their son’s issues. Don’t make accusations or act defensively. Simply say, “I so appreciate your taking us in during this difficult time. How do you think we can get ‘Joe’ to stop gambling and drinking? It’s eating into our finances, and I could use your help. What do you suggest?” They may not be helpful at all, but at least you will have brought up the important subjects that everyone seems unwilling to discuss.

You also can contact Gam-Anon (gam-anon.org) and Al-Anon (al-anon.alateen.org) for yourself and your kids. Then look into free or low-cost counseling through local churches, graduate school counseling departments, medical school psychology departments, United Way, the YMCA, the YWCA, the Samaritan Institute (samaritaninstitute.org), NAMI (nami.org) and support groups such as the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (dbsalliance.org) and Recovery International (lowselfhelpsystems.org).

Dear Annie: I know it’s late, but I have a suggestion for “Under the Table in Indiana,” who is arguing with his siblings about selling Dad’s home and moving him into an assisted living facility. Please tell him to consult an elder care attorney.

My husband and his siblings did this while their mother was making that transition. The lawyer helped us structure the home sale and finances in order to best protect my mother-inlaw’s assets, while making sure we didn’t unknowingly do anything to jeopardize her position (like liquidate and disburse assets prematurely). -- Daughter-in-Law in Minnesota Dear Minnesota: Often, even children with the best of intentions aren’t sure how to proceed when it comes to the care of a parent and the arrangements that need to be made. The resulting power struggle helps no one. Consulting with an unbiased third party is usually the best way to go, and an elder care attorney would certainly be an excellent choice for the position.

Thank you.

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 SHOWER SAVER Dear Heloise: To SAVE WATER, my wife and I shower one right after the other. She goes in, showers, jumps out, and I go in immediately afterward to keep the water hot. While soaping up, I turn off the water until I need it to rinse.

The dishwasher is now run every other day, or even less. There are many others things, but these are the biggest users of our dwindling water supply. My lawn will suffer, our cars will be dirtier, and our lives will be different from now on. -- Larry in Garden Grove, Calif.

Water is a precious resource, and we in Texas understand how serious it is, since many parts of the state are under extreme drought conditions and have been for years. They say this is the worst drought in hundreds of years. Every drop counts! Some folks have even sprayed their yard green since they can’t water. Now that’s a Heloise hint! -- Heloise NO LOST PET Dear Readers: If your pet runs away or gets lost, what is the best way to help ensure that it will be reunited with you? First is, of course, a collar with tags. But a microchip is the best defense. A tiny, tiny chip that contains contact info is inserted with a quick injection. Any veterinarian office, shelter or rescue group should have a scanner to read the chip, and then you can be contacted. -- Heloise PET PAL Dear Readers: Mary in Helotes, Texas, sent a picture of her two Chihuahuas asleep in bed and surrounding her. Mary would like to get up for the day, but she doesn’t want to disturb anybody. They are seemingly stuck to her like glue! If you’d like to see her two dogs sleeping peacefully, hop over to my website, www.Heloise.com, and click on “Pets,” then “Pet of the Week.” -- Heloise

Brian Anderson

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, May 30, 2015: This year you are direct, verbal and creative. Others listen when you speak.

Your intensity about your work and daily routine often comes out. You might become rigid about certain elements of your day-to-day life. If you are single, you could meet someone who makes your heart sing. When you notice your heart skipping a beat, you know you have met this person. If you are attached, the two of you rev up your social life and can be found out and about this summer. This year could be significant to your relationship.

SCORPIO is drawn to your intensity.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You might find that your words hold like cement with someone you speak with today. Be smart and choose those words with care. Deal with a loved one who exhausts you with his or her chatter. Your intuition will carry you right past an awkward moment.

Tonight: Dinner for two.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Defer to others, and you will be delighted with the outcome. You might be weighing the pros and cons of an investment right now. Give it a day or two, and you will know the right move to make. Tonight: Just don’t be alone.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You respond with quickness and ease. Others listen and make decisions after talking with you. You might want to make time to visit an older friend who tends to give you powerful feedback. You know you aren’t always right. Tonight: Feel free to do what you want.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Your mind might wander from one topic to another, though you are unlikely to verbalize what you are thinking. Schedule time with a loved one, and make today one of those memorable moments. Choose to do what this person loves. Tonight: Add more spice to your life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You love to visit with others, but today your instincts will keep you close to home. You might need to deal with a personal matter, take a nap or dive into a great novel. Use these hours well. Friends are likely to seek you out in any case. Tonight: Remember, it is your choice.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You like moving around, checking out what is new in the neighborhood and catching up on gossip, too.

Don’t forget to check in with an older relative, as you likely will have some responsibilities to carry out. Make it OK to a take a break. Tonight: At a favorite spot.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Your more possessive side is likely to emerge today, as you can’t imagine what it would be like to have to share someone. You might cause yourself a problem, so be careful about what you say and what you do. Tonight: Off to a concert or movie.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH How you feel about a relationship could color your day. If you must spend time with a family member whom you feel lukewarm toward, be sure to keep your thoughts to yourself.

Perhaps adjusting your plans would be the better way to go. Tonight: You call the shots.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Kick back and do what you want. You might not feel comfortable in your normal social scene today, as you would have to be the lead actor at gettogethers. Take time for yourself, or be with a special person. You need to do what pleases you most. Tonight: Not to be found.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Join a group of friends who are off on an adventure. It might be as simple as playing a softball game or watching a thriller. You need special time with your pals to relax and recharge you batteries. Tonight: With the person you want to be with.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You’ll notice how carefree and full of fun others are right now. You might wonder why you can’t join them, but you already know the answer: You must be responsible and handle certain matters first. Your flirty ways won’t go unnoticed. Tonight: Make the most of the moment.

Cryptoquip

Crosswords

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You might accept an invitation to join a friend on a weekend road trip. You’ll have a ball exploring different areas, and you’ll find the change of scenery relaxing. Sometimes you get so locked into a set schedule; know that you can break that pattern. Tonight: At a new spot.

Ginsburg urges young women to wage inspiring fights

By PHILIP MARCELO Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Friday advised young women to fight for things they care about, but to do so in a way that inspires others to join their cause.

"Young women today have a great advantage, and it is that there are no more closed doors," the 82-year-old justice said in a speech at Harvard University, in Cambridge. "That was basically what the 70s was all about. Opening doors that had been closed to women."

Ginsburg, once a prominent women's rights lawyer and now the oldest active justice on the nation's highest court, spoke at an outdoor luncheon at Harvard's U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg listens as the citation for her Radcliffe Radcliffe Institute for Medal is read during a luncheon at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard Advanced Study.
