Tuesdays on the Trail

By AMY PORTER Correspondent WESTFIELD – The Friends of the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail have announced “Tuesdays on the Trail,” a casual bike ride that will take place on Tuesdays during July and August.

Beginning this Tuesday, July 11, riders should meet at 6 p.m. at the Main Street trail ramp (located at the Stop & Shop parking lot) for a ride to Shaker Farms and return. The ride

takes about one hour. Or, riders may join the group at 6 p.m. and turn back at any time.

“We’re trying to attract people who have never been on the trail,” said Alice Flyte of the Friends of the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail. Flyte said that this would be a good introduction to the trail, to help get new people used to riding on it. She said the ride is scheduled for 6 p.m. so people can join the group after work.

Flyte has also created an event for Tuesdays on the Trail on the Friends of the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail, Inc. Facebook page. For more information, call 413-454-7822.

Friends of the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail Inc. (FOCGRT), an outgrowth of the downtown Westfield visioning and strategic planning sessions, exists to create pathways to a bicycle and pedestrian friendly Westfield.

International Air Show is fast approaching

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—As the International Air Show comes to Westfield’s Barnes Municipal Airport a little over a month from now, promoters continue to give more insight into what will be in the air and on the ground during the two day event.

The International Air Show will be in Westfield Aug. 12 and 13, and will feature many different acts for spectators to enjoy. According to Lt. Col. Eric Armentrout, director of operations at the 131st Fighter Squadron on

Barnes Air Reserve Base and air show director, this year’s air show will include a history of aviation in America, as well as increased spectator interactivity and even pyrotechnics.

“Big focus of this show is the historical angle,” Armentrout said. “There are a lot of important key anniversaries being celebrated in 2017.”

According to Armentrout, these anniversaries include the 100-year anniversary of US pilots first flying in battle, when they flew during World War I, as well as the 75th anniversaries of the Doolittle Raid in Tokyo, which

was the first offensive against Japan in World War II, and the Battle of Midway, a key naval battle between US in Japan also during World War II. Armentrout said that a number of displays and planes will be on hand to honor these events, including several different war planes, or “war birds,” as he called them.

“People do turn out, they come out to see these historical planes fly,” Armentrout said. “So we built a lineup that is very, very heavy with these See International Air Show, Page 3

By NICK LOMBARDI intern WSU ’18 The Greater Westfield Chamber of Commerce has announced that it will be holding their fortieth anniversary Pancake Breakfast celebration this Thursday from 7:00 – 11:00 a.m.

The pancake breakfast has been a tradition in the city, bringing the community together for generations.

Festivities will include music, face painting, bingo, a live broadcast from WSKB 89.5 FM and more.

The event will be held at South Middle School, located on 30 W Silver St. in Westfield.

For many years the event was held on Park Square Green but was forced to move after renovations to the green started several years ago. The change in venue has been viewed as an improvement by the staff and has remained at the school.

One key benefit of this location is, if it rains the event can be moved indoors to the school’s cafeteria.

Additionally, the school’s parking lot has made it easy for attendance to grow, and in doing so strengthening the community by bringing members of businesses, families, and city government together.

Thanks to the partnerships the Chamber has made, over 300 children will be fed for free. With 100 kids from the YMCA, 50 from the Boys & Girls Club, and the combined effort of 3 local summer camps. It should be an exciting day for everyone, with over 1,200 guests expected to attend.

Along with the breakfast, there will also be 25 vendor tables at the event.

Double Bill: Disney’s Newsies with Ice Cream

By MARK G. AUERBACH and BENJAMIN JACEK Correspondents Summer’s a great time to introduce young people to live theatre, because the fare is often lighter, the atmosphere is less formal, and there’s no school the next morning. I decided to invite Benjamin Jacek, a high school age pal of mine, who had only seen one professional theatre production–The Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular–for some musical theatre and ice cream. The combination of the Connecticut Repertory Theatre’s production of Disney’s Newsies and ice cream at the UConn Dairy Bar seemed like the perfect double bill. It was. Here are our thoughts.

The Connecticut Repertory Theatre’s Nutmeg Summer Series ends its first season under the helm of Broadway’s Terrence Mann with a production of Disney’s Newsies, the recent Broadway musical hit, which has been touring the country to rave reviews and standing ovations. With a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken and Jack Feldman, and book by Harvey Fierstein, Newsies, set in 1899 New York City, tells the story of the famous Newsboy Strike.

Originally a movie directed by Kenny Ortega, Newsies was

like “Santa Fe” and “Watch What Happens”.

As always, the CRT production elements are great, particularly Fan Zhang’s costumes, and Michael Vincent Skinner’s superlative sound, which balanced the orchestra and the singers.

There are some delightful performances from Jim Schubin as Jack Kelly, leader of the Newsies; Tina Fabrique as the entertainer Medda Larkin; and Paige Smith as Katherine Plumber.

The ensemble of Newsies executes d’Amboise’s choreography in a way that makes it look effortless, even though the dance numbers offer challenges.

Ben had studied the newspaper strike in school. “I think they told the story very convincingly. The character of “Jack” spoke to me because he was in charge and everyone respected him. Also, he was the leader of the strike and I found that really cool. I found the scene where the world is trying to break up the strike very exciting, and I really liked the production number when they were getting the press printing” Ben’s bottom line made me glad that he accompanied us to the theatre. “I would highly recommend Newsies to my friends, and I would like to see another live theatre perforThe Newsies lift Jack Kelly (Jim Schubin) in Disney’s mance”.

As for me, I found this production of Newsies to be more Newsies.

Bus hops curb, dislodges war memorial cannon in Pittsburgh PITTSBURGH (AP) — Authorities say a bus hopped a curb and dislodged a war memorial cannon at a parklet in Pittsburgh.

Spokesman Jim Ritchie of the Port Authority of Allegheny County says no bus passengers were injured in the Saturday afternoon accident in the Brookline neighborhood. He says someone in a car struck by the bus had a minor injury.

The cannon was lodged in a side window at the front of the bus, which went through a low fence around the memorial, struck the cannon, went over another fence and came to rest against a wall and part of a railing in front of a dance studio.

Ritchie says there was damage to the bus and other vehicles and to the parklet. The cause of the accident is under investigation.

Review: The UConn Dairy Bar

By MARK G. AUERBACH and BENJAMIN JACEK Correspondents The University of Connecticut at Storrs has put that area on the map. The 4,400 acre campus in rolling farmland has a lot going for it, and it’s only about an hour from Springfield– slightly less if you go the back roads. Many people visit Storrs for the athletics at Gample Pavilion. Others go for the culture at The Jorgensen Center for The Performing Arts, The Connecticut Repertory Theatre, The William Benton Museum of Art, The Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry, and since 1953, The UConn Dairy Bar. According to Ethan W. Haggerty, Area Manager UC Cafes & Dairy Bar at University of Connecticut Dining Services, “The roots of dairy farming goes back over a century, as UConn was, at one time, an agricultural school. The Dairy Bar churns over 50,000 gallons of ice cream a year, plus makes several cheeses. Two hundred cows provide the milk, and some cream is sourced from outside.”

Haggerty says that The UConn Dairy Bar rotates through about 24 standard flavors and another 12 that are special runs or seasonal. He added that the most popular flavor is Husky Tracks, a mix of vanilla, fudge swirl, and peanut butter cups.

We felt that a taste test was necessary. There were three of us in the tasting group–me, the arts reporter with an eye for delectability; Robert O’Connell, a high school math teacher who can calculate deliciousness; and Benjamin Jacek, a high school senior with significant experience in ice cream consumption. We sampled the Banana Chocolate Chip, Oreo, Cake Batter, and Peach. Ben liked his choices. “They exceeded my expectations, but the peach was the best. It was so creamy and had real pieces of peach. I’d go back and try the strawberry cheesecake on my next visit.” I had to agree with Ben about the peach. Rob smiled after consuming his choice, proof that it was good.

Located amongst rolling hills and a dairy farm, you can see the cows grazing from the parking lot. The Dairy Bar is open year-round, For details on the UConn Dairy Bar: http://dining. uconn.edu/uconn-dairy-bar/ ———Mark G. Auerbach studied theatre at American University and the Yale School of Drama. He’s worked for arts organizations and reported on theatre for newspapers and radio.

Mark produces and hosts ArtsBeat Radio on 89.5fm/WSKB Radio.

Benjamin Jacek is entering his senior year at Minnechaug Regional High School, and is a lifeguard at the Georgetown Condominiums Pool for his second summer.

News outlets seek to negotiate with Google, Facebook on ads NEW YORK (AP) — News outlets are seeking permission from Congress for the right to negotiate jointly with Google and Facebook, two companies that dominate online advertising and online news traffic.

The News Media Alliance, which represents nearly 2,000 news organizations, says because of those two companies’ dominance, news publishers are forced to “play by their rules.”

The outlets want support for subscription models and a bigger share of the online advertising market. The alliance says it would need an exemption from antitrust law to negotiate as a group.

The news industry has been hit with declining print readership and a loss of advertising revenue as it has moved online.

Facebook says it is making progress but has more work to do to help publishers. Google didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Continued from Page 1 war birds.”

And in this line-up, a variety of pyrotechnics will be delivered in front of the crowds. Armentrout said that these pyrotechnics include simulated bomb blasts and incendiary effects to mimic explosions like those delivered with napalm during World War II. In particular, Armentrout said that a B-25 bomber, like the one used during the Doolittle Raid, will be flying to deliver simulated bomb blasts for the audience.

Armentrout also said that the air show will feature educational resources for those curious about getting into the field of aviation.

“The other thing that is a key component for us is inspiring the next generation, the youth out there, and showcasing opportunities to follow a career in aviation,” Armentrout said.

“I have, just based on my experience, I’ve developed the opinion that everyone knows go to law school to be a lawyer, go to medical school to be a doctor,” Armentrout said. “To be a pilot, it’s really confusing.”

The air show will be featuring a booth from Bridgewater State University in Massachusetts, which has an aviation science department and training center. In addition, three students from the program will be flying a Bridgewater State University craft during the show.

Also featured will be Matt Chapman, who will be sponsored by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.

Finally, Armentrout said that amateur and professional photographers who attend will have a chance to win gift cards to Hunt’s Photo and video for their photographs of the show.

Each day of the show prizes for first, second and third will be awarded to people in two separate categories: amateur and credentialed media. Armentrout said to enter, hopefuls should follow @wias_2017_official on Instagram and use the following hashtags when uploading their photos: amateurs use #wias2017 and credentialed media use #wias2017pro.

NY Times Report:

Trump Jr. was promised helpful information

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump's eldest son said Sunday he met with a Kremlin-linked lawyer shortly after his father clinched the Republican nomination, hoping to get information helpful to the campaign.

A New York Times report Sunday citing advisers to the White House briefed on the encounter said Trump Jr. agreed to the meeting after being promised information damaging to Hillary Clinton.

The June meeting at Trump Tower with attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya involved Trump Jr., his brother-in-law Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort, who was then the campaign chairman.

The existence of the meeting was disclosed only recently to government officials and confirmed on Saturday by representatives of Trump Jr. and Kushner following a separate Times report.

In a statement Sunday, Trump Jr. did not confirm that the information he was promised would be damaging to Clinton.

But he said he was asked by an acquaintance he knew from the 2013 Miss Universe pageant to have a meeting with a person he was told might have information that would be helpful to the Trump campaign. He said he was not told the name of the person before the meeting.

Trump Jr. said that during the meeting the attorney claimed to have information that "individuals connected to Russia were funding the Democratic National Committee" and supporting Clinton.

"No details or supporting information was provided or even offered," Trump Jr. said. "It quickly became clear that she had no meaningful information."

He said no details or supporting information was ever offered, and that his father was unaware of the meeting.

On Saturday, Trump Jr. had described the same gathering as a "short introductory meeting" during which the three discussed a disbanded program that used to allow U.S. citizens to adopt Russian children. Russia ended the adoptions in response to American sanctions brought against the nation following the 2009 death of an imprisoned lawyer who spoke about a corruption scandal.

He said on Sunday that the attorney turned the conversation to the adoption of Russian children, and that he believed that this was the "true agenda" of the meeting and that claims about having information helpful to the Trump campaign had been a pretext for the encounter.

"I interrupted and advised her that my father was not an elected official, but rather a private citizen, and that her comments and concerns were better addressed if and when he held public office," Trump Jr. said in the statement.

Mark Corallo, a spokesman for Trump's legal team, said only, "The President was not aware of and did not attend the meeting."

Unlike Kushner, Trump Jr. does not serve in the administration and is not required to disclose his foreign contacts. The newspaper said the meeting was disclosed in recent days to government investigators when he filed a revised version of a form needed to obtain a security clearance. His attorney has previously acknowledged that Kushner's first security clearance submission was incomplete.

Manafort also recently disclosed the meeting to congressional investigators, the newspaper said.

The newspaper said Veselnitskaya is known for her attempts to undercut the sanctions against Russian human rights abusers. The Times also said her clients include state-owned businesses and the son of a senior government official whose company was under investigation in the United States at the time of the meeting.

By JILL COLVIN Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Sunday that "it is time to move forward in working constructively with Russia" after his lengthy meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Germany. But he is still avoiding the question of whether he accepts Putin's denial that Russia was responsible for meddling in the 2016 election.

Speaking in a series of tweets the morning after returning from a world leaders' summit in Germany, Trump said he "strongly pressed" Putin twice over Russian meddling during their meeting Friday.

Trump said that Putin "vehemently denied" the conclusions of American intelligence agencies that Russian hackers and propagandists tried to sway the election in Trump's favor. But Trump would not say whether he believed Putin, tweeting only that he's "already given my opinion."

Trump has said he thinks Russia probably hacked the emails of the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton staffers, but that "other people and/or countries" were likely involved as well. He said ahead of the meeting that, "Nobody knows for sure."

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov first told reporters in Germany on Friday that Trump had accepted Putin's assurances that Russia hadn't meddled — an assertion Putin repeated Saturday after the Group of 20 summit. Putin said he left the meeting thinking that Trump had believed his in-person denials.

"He asked questions, I replied. It seemed to me that he was satisfied with the answers," Putin said.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson did not answer directly when asked Sunday if Trump had accepted Putin's denial, but told reporters in Ukraine that Trump's conversation with Putin on election interference went "about the way we expected."

Tillerson was the only other American official in the room.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin also declined to say whether Trump accepted Putin's denial. "Why would President Trump broadcast exactly what he said in the meeting?

Strategically that makes no sense," Mnuchin said. "He's made it very clear how he feels. He's made it very clear that he addressed it straight on."

But White House chief of staff Reince Priebus took issue with Putin's characterization.

"The president absolutely didn't believe the denial of President Putin," Priebus said. He said Trump had spent a "large part of the meeting on the subject," but wanted to move onto other subjects.

He and other administration officials said Trump did not want Russian interference in last year's election to prevent him from working with Putin's government on other issues, including the civil war in Syria.

"You know, the past, I don't know if we will ever come to an agreement, obviously with our Russian counterparts on that. I think the important thing is how do we assure that this doesn't happen again," Tillerson said.

Tillerson said that, "In all candidness, we did not expect an

Trump: US must work with Russia, move past election issues answer other than the one we received" from Russia.

"Everybody knows that Russia meddled in our elections," added Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

"This is Russia trying to save face."

But in a show of U.S.-Russian cooperation, officials announced during the trip that the two sides had brokered a cease-fire in southern Syria that went into effect Sunday.

Trump tweeted that the deal "will save lives."

The two sides also agreed to create what Trump described in a tweet as "an impenetrable Cyber Security unit" to ensure that "election hacking, & many other negative things, will be guarded."

However, the idea drew widespread ridicule and Trump sent out another tweet Sunday night in which he seemed to back off: "The fact that President Putin and I discussed a Cyber Security unit doesn't mean I think it can happen. It can't-but a ceasefire can,& did!"

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina was among critics of the task force on Twitter and Sunday morning news shows.

"It's not the dumbest idea I've ever heard, but it's pretty close," Graham said, adding that, when it comes to Russia, the president has "a blind spot."

"And to forgive and forget when it comes to Putin regarding cyberattacks is to empower Putin and that's exactly what he's doing," he added.

Another Senate Republican, Marco Rubio of Florida, said on Twitter that "partnering with Putin on a 'Cyber Security Unit' is akin to partnering with Assad on a 'Chemical Weapons Unit.'" Rubio was referring to Syrian President Bashar Assad and his regime's use of chemical weapons against its own citizens."

Former Defense Secretary Ash Carter equated the move to "like the guy who robbed your house proposing a working group on burglary."

And Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the top Democrat on the House intelligence committee, said that expecting Russia to be a credible partner in any cybersecurity initiative "would be dangerously naive for this country."

"If that's our best election defense, we might as well just mail our ballot boxes to Moscow," he said.

Haley, however, defended the move, arguing that working with Russia on cybersecurity "doesn't mean we ever trust Russia. We can't trust Russia and we won't ever trust Russia.

But you keep those that you don't trust closer so that you can always keep an eye on 'em and keep them in check."

Trump also tweeted Sunday that sanctions against Russia were not discussed at his meeting with Putin, seemingly contradicting comments made by Tillerson in Germany. Tillerson told reporters that the president had taken "note of actions that have been discussed by the Congress" in the meeting. Congress has been pushing to increase sanctions on Russia and make them harder for Trump to lift.

Haley and Schiff spoke on CNN's "State of the Union," Mnuchin on ABC's "The Week," Priebus on "Fox News Sunday," and Graham on NBC's "Meet the Press."

Man charged with killing woman, injuring man, due in court ORANGE, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts man charged with killing a woman in her home in the rural town of Wendell, then shooting a co-worker at a Chicopee trucking company, is heading to court.

Authorities say 53-year-old Lewis Starkey III faces arraignment Monday on charges including murder and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.

Starkey was apprehended in Orange on Sunday after several days on the run.

Authorities say he fatally shot 48-year-old Amanda Glover in her home last Wednesday, and then drove to the trucking company where he worked about an hour away and shot a coworker. That man was slightly injured by flying glass shards.

Police have not released a motive or the exact relationship between Starkey and Glover.

It couldn't immediately be determined if Starkey has an attorney.

ESTATE Whale stranded in shallow water at Cape Cod dies CHATHAM, Mass. (AP) — Officials say an 18-foot-long (5.48-meter) whale that was stranded in shallow water at a Cape Cod harbor is dead, despite attempts to save the creature.

Chatham Harbormaster Stuart Smith says a property owner reported the whale dead on Friday morning.

Authorities say the minke whale likely swam under a dock and into Stage Harbor overnight Wednesday. The whale was seen early Thursday morning.

The whale had scrapes on its body and dorsal fin, which officials say came from swimming under docks and piers in the harbor. Wildlife staff tried to herd the whale out of the harbor using the help of a stretcher, but they were unsuccessful.

International Fund for Animal Welfare spokeswoman Melanie Mahoney says a team was sent to retrieve the carcass so a necropsy can be performed.

Repaired Boston Holocaust memorial to be rededicated BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts' governor plans to join Holocaust survivors and two Jewish organizations at a rededication ceremony for the repaired New England Holocaust Memorial.

Republican Gov. Charlie Baker, Boston Mayor Martin Walsh, the Combined Jewish Philanthropies and the Jewish

Community Relations Council of Greater Boston and clergy will gather at the ceremony at the Boston memorial on Tuesday afternoon.

James Isaac is charged with throwing a rock through a glass panel at the memorial on June 28. He has pleaded not guilty to vandalism

charges.

Prosecutors say the Boston man smashed the roughly 9-foot-tall (2.7-meter) panel in the early morning hours.

He was quickly arrested after a witness called police.

Isaac's attorney has said he suffers from mental health issues.

Tufts nurses strike still set after failed mediation session BOSTON (AP) — A strike is still planned for nurses at Tufts Medical Center after a mediation session between the union that represents them and the Boston hospital was unsuccessful.

Representatives from Tufts and the Massachusetts Nurses Association, which represents 1,200 nurses at the hospital, say both parties spent around 10 minutes together in the meeting before a federal mediator ended the discussion Friday.

The union has said the strike will begin the morning of July 12 and run until July 13. But hospital officials have said they plan to lock out striking nurses for four additional days while employing temporary workers.

Contract negotiations have gone on since April 2016. Concerns have been raised by union officials over "patient safety, lack of resources and lagging compensation."

Both sides are set to meet Tuesday.

Lawmakers to restart talks on compromise marijuana bill BOSTON (AP) — Lawmakers are restarting negotiations over legislation that would overhaul the state's voter-approved marijuana law.

A House-Senate conference committee has scheduled a closed-door meeting for Monday afternoon, according to the office of Democratic Sen. Patricia Jehlen (JAY'-len). The Somerville Democrat is the lead Senate negotiator on the six-member panel.

The meeting will be the first since House Speaker Robert DeLeo suspended talks earlier this month, saying he wanted the Legislature to focus on passing an overdue budget for the fiscal year starting July 1.

Lawmakers sent a $40.2 billion spending plan to Republican Gov. Charlie Baker's desk on Friday.

Before the marijuana talks were suspended, the House and Senate appeared to be struggling to reach an accord over issues such as taxes and local control over pot shops.

LOWELL, Mass. (AP) — Lowell police say an 11-yearold boy is facing charges after allegedly cutting a city police officer with a knife.

Police tell The Sun that an officer on patrol came across an altercation involving two youths at about 5 p.m. Sunday.

The officer, who saw a child holding a knife over his head and charging at another boy, intervened and suffered a cut on the elbow and finger.

The unnamed officer was treated at the scene and then at Lowell General Hospital.

The boy was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, assault and battery on a police officer and juvenile delinquency. His name was not made public because of his age.

NATO: We’re supplying new cybersecurity equipment to Ukraine KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — NATO's secretary-general says the 29-member alliance is supplying hardware to the Ukrainian government to help protect its government networks from cyberattacks.

At a news conference in Kiev alongside Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko on Monday, Jens Stoltenberg told journalists that "we are in the process of providing Ukraine with new equipment to some key government institutions."

Few other details were provided, but Stoltenberg said the gear would "help Ukraine investigate who is behind the different attacks."

Ukraine has recently been hit by a series of powerful cyberattacks, including a June 27 attack that crippled computers across the country. Kiev blames Russia for the intrusions, charges the Kremlin denies.

Stoltenberg added that the alliance is studying the Ukraine attacks closely.

"NATO is learning a lot from Ukraine," he said.

Apple to open new data center in Denmark HELSINKI (AP) — Denmark says that Apple has decided to build a data center in the southwestern town Aabenraa, near Viborg, where it has another one already under construction.

The Danish Foreign Ministry says that both will use only renewable energy as a power source and “thereby contribute to Denmark achieving its renewable energy goals.”

The ministry said Monday that with the latest investments from Apple, Facebook and Google’s purchase of a land plot, the Scandinavian country is moving to becoming a major site for the world’s biggest tech players. It is also among the top three countries in terms of environmental technologies, according to a Greenpeace report this year.

Abercrombie says its off the block and shares plunge NEW YORK (AP) — The teen retailer Abercrombie & Fitch says it's no longer looking to sell the company and shares are down 11 percent before the opening bell.

Abercrombie said in May that it was it in talks with several parties about a potential deal, but said Monday that it has ended all such negotiations.

More people are shopping at lowercost, fast-fashion stores like H&M and Forever 21, and that has wreaked havoc on one-time mall mainstays like Abercrombie & Fitch Co. The New Albany, Ohio, company says sales remain strong at its surfinspired Hollister brand and is continuing to work on improving the performance at Abercrombie.

Average US gas price drops a penny amid plentiful supplies CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) — The average price of a gallon of regulargrade gasoline fell about a penny nationally over the past two weeks, to $2.31.

Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg of the Lundberg Survey said Sunday that the drop comes amid plentiful supplies of both crude oil and gasoline.

She says gas prices have declined more than 15 cents since April.

Gas in San Francisco was the highest in the contiguous United States at an average of $3.00 a gallon. The lowest was in Jackson, Mississippi, at $1.92 a gallon.

The U.S. average diesel price is $2.51, down 2 cents from two weeks ago.

Global stocks start week solidly as US earnings loom The Associated Press LONDON (AP) — Global stock markets have started the new week fairly solidly as investors ready for the start of the secondquarter U.S. corporate earnings season and Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen's testimony to Congress.

KEEPING SCORE: In Europe, Germany's DAX was up 0.3 percent at 12,431 while the CAC 40 in France rose 0.1 percent to 5,151. The FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was 0.1 percent lower at 7,346. U.S. stocks were poised for a steady opening with Dow futures and the broader S&P 500 futures up 0.1 percent.

EARNINGS: Companies including Pepsi Co. and Delta Air Lines, Inc. are due to release earnings this week as U.S. companies begin their second-quarter reporting season. The market expects earnings per share growth of about 7 percent from companies in the S&P 500.

ANALYST TAKE: "The big question as we head into U.S. earnings season later this week is whether all this optimism about future stock market gains is based in reality or expectation, with JP Morgan and Citigroup in the banking sector the first of the big names out of the gate on Friday," said Michael Hewson, chief market analyst at CMC Markets.

FED WATCH: Yellen testifies Wednesday and Thursday before U.S. lawmakers.

Investors are looking for signs of how the Fed might react to the latest jobs and inflation data. "We expect she will once again

encourage expectations for the start of balance sheet normalization in September, followed by another rate hike in December — dependent on the data, of course," said Jim O'Sullivan of High-Frequency Economics.

SHIPPING MERGER: Shares in China's biggest shipping company, state-owned COSCO Cosco Shipping Holdings Co., surged 4.7 percent Monday after it agreed to buy rival Orient Overseas (International) Ltd. for $6.3 billion, creating a new Asian container giant. Orient Overseas shares jumped 19.5 percent. The acquisition follows a wave of consolidation in global shipping that has produced a handful of huge global competitors. Orient Overseas is controlled by the family of former Hong Kong Chief Executive Tung Chee-Hwa.

Bad Summer: Penn Station repairs begin NEW YORK (AP) — The rush hour commute into New York got off to a quiet start Monday as workers began two months of repairs at the country’s busiest train station and what Gov. Andrew Cuomo predicts will make for a “summer of hell.”

Amtrak started the extensive repairs to tracks and signals in Penn Station. The work was initially scheduled for nights and weekends over a few years, but two recent derailments and other problems that spotlighted the station’s aging infrastructure convinced Amtrak to accelerate the work schedule.

For several hundred thousand commuters on the Long Island Rail Road and New Jersey Transit — as well as Amtrak passengers who ride between Boston and Washington, D.C. — that means fewer trains during

peak periods, the result of track closures to accommodate the repairs.

Penn Station, which Amtrak took over in the 1970s, handles twice as many daily train movements, about 1,300, as it did then. Roughly 600,000 people pass through each day on trains and New York City subways.

Monday morning’s rush began with no unusually large crowds and without any apparent problems.

“We like to think it’s quiet because a lot of people did their homework,” New Jersey Transit spokesman Charles Ingoglia said while standing outside the Hoboken train and ferry stations.

Ingoglia noted efforts his agency has made online and elsewhere to warn the public of the congestion that is expected when up to 16,000 commuters are added to the

23,000 people who usually flow through the Hoboken station each day.

Service has been stepped up by trains, buses and ferries in anticipation of the busier commute. PATH trains were running every five minutes out of Hoboken rather than the usual sevenminute interval and additional NJ Transit buses were running from Hoboken to Manhattan as well.

Still, the real test for the “new normal” won’t come until the weather, equipment problems or police activity somewhere along the train line interrupts service.

“The measure is how good are you when things are bad,” Ingoglia said.

The work is scheduled to last through the end of August.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The United Arab Emirates' main state oil company said Monday it is seeking to create joint ventures with international investors and is considering floating shares in some of its businesses in an effort to raise billions of dollars and create more jobs locally.

The Abu Dhabi National Oil Co., or ADNOC, said it is considering an initial public offering for minority stakes in some related services businesses, though it ruled out for now floating shares in the overall company, which will remain owned by the Abu Dhabi government.

The company said other plans include creating a regional drilling company, a new "energy infrastructure venture" that bundles select assets, and further opening up its refinery and petrochemical operations to outside investors.

UAE Minister of State and ADNOC Group CEO Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber said the moves aim to generate higher revenues and create more jobs for Emiratis. In a statement, the company also stressed these initiatives "will bring significant benefits to the UAE and its citizens."

"Most importantly, it will create new, high-skilled jobs and attractive career opportunities," it said.

Abu Dhabi holds the bulk of the oil wealth in the seven-state Emirates federation, one of OPEC's largest crude producers. The company produces around 3 million barrels of oil per day and 9.8 billion cubic feet of gas per day.

A company press release Monday sad global energy demand is shifting to the East, and that this change means a rapid increase in demand for products derived from hydrocarbons — petrochemicals, plastics and polymers. In October, it announced plans to combine two major offshore divisions to streamline its operations amid a slump in oil prices.

The drop in oil energy prices since mid2014 increased pressure on the UAE to find new ways to raise non-oil revenue, such as lifting some petrol subsidies and introducing value-added tax next year.

In the UAE and other Arab Gulf countries, citizens prefer to work for the government, where wages and perks are generous.

In recent years, however, Gulf governments curbed public sector hiring in the face of tighter budgets as jobs across the region's oil and gas sector were also slashed.

ADNOC's plans follow a decision by Saudi Aramco, the state oil company of neighboring Saudi Arabia, to sell shares for the first time for a minority stake in its business. That IPO isn't expected to happen before next year at the earliest and is aimed at generating greater revenue for the government's public investment fund.

Survey:

US uninsured up by 2M this year as gains erode WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of U.S. adults without health insurance has grown by some 2 million this year, according to a major new survey that finds recent coverage gains beginning to erode.

The new numbers highlight what’s at stake as Congress returns to an unresolved debate over Republican proposals to roll back much of former President Barack Obama’s health care law.

The Gallup-Sharecare Well-Being Index, published Monday, found that the uninsured rate among U.S. adults was 11.7 percent in the second three months of this year, compared with a record low of 10.9 percent at the end of last year.

Though small, the change was statistically significant, survey analysts noted.

While “Obamacare” has remained politically divisive, it had helped drive the uninsured rate to historic lows as some 20 million people gained coverage.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., plans to check vital signs on his GOP bill as senators trickle back to Washington from a July 4 break that many spent listening to constituents vent about health care.

McConnell is seen as a master legislative strategist, but there’s no sign he’s secured enough votes to pass a bill. He See Uninsured, Page 7

New Jersey Transit is diverting some rush hour trains to Hoboken, where passengers can switch to trains operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, or to ferries.

Both railroads are offering discounted tickets to those most affected by the disruptions, and have devised plans that use alternative forms of transportation.

That hasn’t staved off dire predictions from commuters already used to overcrowding, equipment failures and regular delays.

On Sunday, Cuomo announced that all nonemergency road construction work would be suspended from 5 a.m. until 10 p.m. and that all lanes would be open on major roadways in the New York City area starting Sunday night. It was hoped that would clear major arteries for expanded bus service into Manhattan from Long Island.

When this summer’s work is completed, rail riders will benefit from increased reliability from having up-to-date equipment in and around the station, but will still fall prey to other problems such as electrical wire failures in the tunnel between New York and New Jersey, and signal and track problems in northern New Jersey east of Newark.

Those problems will have to wait for the completion of the Gateway project, which plans to build a second rail tunnel under the Hudson River, repair damage in the existing tunnel from

"Homecoming" was one of the biggest tests yet for the notion that domestic moviegoers are growing weary of sequels and reboots and suffering so-called "franchise fatigue." ''Homecoming" kicks off the third "Spider-Man" iteration in the last 15 years, and the second reboot since 2014's "The Amazing Spider-Man," with Andrew Garfield.

But Sony has kept Spider-Man airborne. For "Homecoming," the studio returned to Spider-Man's teenage roots, casting Tom Holland in the part. Critics and audiences responded, with many calling Jon Watts' iteration one of the best Spider-Man films.

Sony also, for the first time, partnered with Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios to produce the film and rope "Homecoming" into Marvel's wider cinematic universe. Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark/Iron Man appears as Spider-Man's mentor, and Michael Keaton plays the villain Vulture.

Those ingredients, along with a marketing effort that appealed to young moviegoers, pushed "Homecoming" to the best "Spider-Man" debut since 2007's "Spider-Man 3." The film, made for about $175 million, also grossed $140 million internationally over the weekend.

"It's a triumphant return for Spider-Man," said Josh Greenstein, Sony Pictures' president of worldwide marketing and distribution. "It's an incredible win for Sony, for our partners at Marvel and Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal, who produced it."

"Even though there have been other Spider-Man movies, this film feels fresh and new and different and special, and I think that's what's really resonating with audiences right now," added Greenstein.

Sony has struggled in the years since the infamous cyber hack of 2014, after which Tom Rothman eventually replaced Pascal as studio chief. (Pascal has since turned to producing, including this and future "Spider-Man" installments.) Boxoffice disappointments like the Dan Brown adaptation "Inferno," Ang Lee's high-frame-rate gambit "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" and the cultural flashpoint "Ghostbusters" have dotted its lineup.

But now, Sony has arguably the two biggest hits in the land: one a smartly recycled franchise, the other a quick and quirky original. Edgar Wright's acclaimed action-musical "Baby Driver" slid just 38 percent in its second week, coming in third with $12.8 million. The movie, which cost $34 million to produce, has already earned $56.9 million domestically.

Last week's top film, "Despicable Me 3," dropped to second with $34 million.

As good as the news was for Sony, the weekend's results also proved a modern-day movie maxim: No one does franchise-building better than Marvel. "Spider-Man" is one of three major summer hits thus far, following the Marvel-Disney sequel "Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2" and the Warner Bros.D.C. Comics release "Wonder Woman."

The latter success came only after several high-profile missteps in Warner Bros.' attempt to build a Marvel-style universe of films. Earlier this summer, Universal's plans for its "Dark Universe" of monster movies got off to a rocky start with the poorly performing "The Mummy."

Sony's smartest move on "Spider-Man: Homecoming" might have been deciding to bring it into the Marvel fold.

"Nobody knows Marvel better than Marvel," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for comScore. They really understand the mythology of these characters, the legacy of these characters, and Spider-Man is one of the crown jewels of the superhero world. No way was Sony ever going to give up on Spider-Man. So what do they do? They collaborate more closely with Marvel, and it paid off handsomely this weekend."

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to comScore. Where available, the latest international numbers also are included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.

14-Year-Old Division: Westfield being patient at the plate, pays off

By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent WESTFIELD – Although Westfield collected ten hits in the contest, the hits don’t nearly indicate the score. Having bases loaded over 10 times in the first inning and drawing fourteen walks in the first three innings, Westfield put the mercy rule on Blackstone Valley with a 20-5 victory in five innings in a 14-Year-Old Division game of the Babe Ruth Western Massachusetts State Tournament.

“I thought the kids were disciplined well at the plate,” said head coach Mike Tirrell. “They were patient and mixed in a few good solid hits too.”

Saying it was an ugly game is an understatement, as there were 19 walks, 13 wild pitches, and three hit batters between the two teams.

A significant portion of the damage done by Westfield came in the bottom of the first inning when they scored 14 runs.

Only producing six hits in that inning, Westfield was able to showcase the patience that Tirrell was talking about. Five walks, three passed balls, and three batter’s hit by a pitch

allowed Westfield to earn the comfortable lead they needed.

Headlining the way offensively for the Whip City was Paul Shibley, Adam Tremblay, and Niko Kapsanis, all having two hits each.

“Great to see guys get up and hit the ball,” said Tirrell.

“This is a good hitting team.”

Entering the top of the second inning with a 14-4 cushion, Kipsanis came in for relief on the mound and went 3 2/3 innings, giving up one un-earned run and just two hits.

“I just tried to stay calm and not over power the pitch and just throw strikes,” said Kipsanis.

After a tough 5-1 loss to Pittsfield on Saturday, Sunday’s bounce-back victory felt that much sweeter.

“It probably gives us a lot of confidence going up against them (Pittsfield) again because we really want revenge,” said Kapsanis. “We really want to beat them.”

With a pool play record of 1-1, Westfield will now play in the playoff round of the tournament on Tuesday against either Blackstone Valley or Pittsfield. The time of that game hasn’t been decided yet.

Westfield ‘walks off’ the field with a victory

By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent WESTFIELD – Tied with Blackstone Valley at three runs a piece, Westfield started off the bottom of the seventh inning with a single from Kareem Zaghloul.

Ryan Lapoint followed up with a sacrifice bunt to move Zaghloul to second base.

After Brady Collins came into pitch run for Zaghloul on second, Jeremy McCormick stepped up to the plate and hit the single that scored Collins but more importantly gave Westfield the 4-3 walk-off win in a 14-YearOld Division game of the Babe Ruth Western Massachusetts State Tournament at Bullens Field.

Being dominated 12-0 against Pittsfield on Saturday night, the exciting victory on Sunday flet that much better.

“A great win for the team,” said head coach Jim Cloutier. “We needed that after a pretty bad performance the night before against Pittsfield.”

While the walk-off hit by McCormick was spectacular to see in Cloutier’s eyes, the sacrifice bunt from Lapoint is what he believes to have been the most critical play in that inning.

“Ryan (Lapoint) laid down a great bunt, hats off to

Ryan (Lapoint) for doing that,” said Cloutier.

But, once McCormick did have the winning run in scoring position, his manager never had any doubt in his mind.

“He puts a lot of time in,” said Cloutier. “I have all the confidence in the world about the kid.”

Highlighting the Westfield offense, Troy Hevey went 3-for-3 while Bobby Dellapenna went 2-for-3.

As Blackstone Valley put the first two runs on the board in the top of the second, Westfield cut the lead in half in the next half inning. But, in the bottom of the third inning, a single from Dylan Arooth tied up the game. Alex Lacourse then grounded out to score Troy Hevey and take the 3-2 lead.

Although Westfield got the timely hits when needed most, they received a solid performance on the mound from their starting pitcher; Jake Jachym. Going five innings and only giving up two runs, Jachym was given high praise for his play.

“He battled,” said Cloutier. “He always gets out there and just gets you innings.”

Moving forward, Westfield will play in the playoff round of the tournament on Tuesday at 5 p.m. at Bullens Westfield Third basemen Kareem Zaghloul puts the tag on the Blackstone Field, against either Blackstone Valley or Pittsfield.

Little League weekend roundup

By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent Friday July 7 12-Year-Old All-Stars Westfield American 9, Belchertown 8 Despite Belchertown cutting the deficit to just one run in the fifth inning, Westfield American was able to hold on to a 9-8 victory.

Sean Roselli went 3-for-4 with a double and Jay Sherpa went a perfect 3-for-3 at the plate. Scott Hepburn helped his team get out of a jam in the fifth inning. With a runner on third and the threat of Belchertown tying the game, Hepburn recorded the out to get out of the inning.

Closing out the game in the sixth, Hepburn worked around a leadoff double in order to secure the win.

Westfield National 14, Amherst 4 Three home runs helped Westfield National propel to a 14-4 win over Amherst. Nick Goodwin, Cody Collins, and Anthony Schabowski were responsible for the baseballs that went over

the fence. Ryder Pieczarka chipped in offensively by going 2-for-2.

Cam Lisowski was solid on the mound as he went four innings, while giving up five hits and recording nine strikeouts.

Babe Ruth 14-Year-Old All-Stars: Westfield drops opener to Pittsfield

By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent WESTFIELD – With the game tied at one and Pittsfield having runners on the corners with no outs in the top of the fifth inning, a double steal, followed by a wild throw to home plate, allowed Pittsfield to take the lead. Jake Paris then grounded out to second base to score Jack Lee and extend the lead to 3-1.

Pittsfield would hang onto their advantage and defeat Westfield 5-1 in a pool play game for the 14-Year-Old All-Star Division of the Babe Ruth Western Massachusetts State Tournament.

“I think it was a closer game than the score indicates,” said Westfield head coach Mike Tirrell. “We played that game real tight the entire time.”

In the top of the seventh inning, Pittsfield was able to add two insurance

runs. Lee scored off a wild throw and then Jake Risley hit a double to plate another run.

Down 1-0 in the bottom of the second, Westfield was able to tie the contest up.

With runners on second and third, Fred Murray grounded out to shortstop to score Joey Dekarski.

Throughout the rest of the game, the team from the Whip City continued to generate runners on base, but the offense was never able to produce the timely hits they desperately needed.

“We just couldn’t get the key hit when we needed to,” said Tirrell.

Even when Westfield was able to get in scoring position, the Pittsfield defense executed all the right plays, including a wildly impressive triple play turned by Pittsfield shortstop Anton Lazits, when Westfield had runners on first and second

with no outs.

The triple play was almost seen as an impossible play to make, but Tirrell is aware that those kinds of things occur in baseball.

“There’s no way he’s (the base runner) getting back at second,” said Tirrell.

“Stuff like that happens.”

The good thing moving forward for Westfield is the fact that the chance to redeem themselves will be presented rather quickly. Westfield plays Blackstone Valley on Sunday at 3 p.m. at Bullens Field.

“Their resilient, they’ll come out and play good baseball tomorrow,” said Tirrell.

Pittsfield is scheduled to play a makeup game with Blackstone Valley on either Sunday or Monday, as that exact day and time hasn’t been announced yet.

Westfield’s Eli Petrone tries for a bunt against Northampton Saturday morning.

Westfield Post 124 has season cut short Northampton 11, Westfield 1 JACHYM FIELD, WESTFIELD – The plan for Westfield Post 124 was to spread out the pitching so that every arm was rested and available for the American Legion postseason tournament, where a team can find itself playing every night until you either lose twice or you win the whole tournament.

On paper it was a good plan; it was the execution of that plan that was the problem.

Westfield used seven pitchers in seven innings, giving up eight hits, nine walks and hitting two batters (actually one batter twice). Northampton Post 28 (16-1) finished the regular season in first after an easy win Sunday at Jachym Field.

Westfield (11-7) finished with its fifth straight loss.

Ari Schwartz started for Westfield, walking the first hitter on four pitches before eventually closing out the 1-2-3 inning by picking off the leadoff walk at second base. He gave up two runs in the second before giving way to John Daley.

Northampton took advantage of four defensive miscues in the inning by Westfield, including three missed double plays

(two close plays at first base and a bobbled transfer at second).

The parade of pitchers continued with Devin Baker, Adam Kearing, Matt Hastings, Stefan Krol and Nick Clegg.

Northampton added two runs in the third and three runs in both the sixth and seventh.

Westfield got its first base hit in the fourth, a Jack Blake line drive to center, and two more in the sixth. After Hastings opened the sixth with a single, he was quickly erased by a J.D. Huntley fielder’s choice. Huntley moved to second on a wild pitch and scored on Krol’s double down the line in left.

Beginning Tuesday, the 14 remaining teams (both West Springfield and South Hadley forfeited their seasons) will be broken up into two brackets. Each bracket will play a doubleelimination tournament with the winners of each bracket meeting to crown a champion and send a western Massachusetts team on to the state tournament.

Dear Annie

By ANNIE LANE

When ‘Sorry’ Isn’t Enough Dear Annie: I am 75 years old. My wife of more than 50 years died suddenly and without warning a year and a half ago, and I began drinking excessively almost immediately. I have since regained control.

Here’s the problem: During one of my drinking episodes, my daughter-in-law claims I groped her. I have no memory of this.

I apologized just the same. My son is naturally upset, and I am, too. Honestly, I have absolutely zero sexual interest in my daughter-in-law. An enormous rift has developed in our small family as a result of this incident.

How can this sad development be rectified? -- Embarrassed Dear Embarrassed: I’m so sorry for your loss. It seems the apology itself was not enough for your daughter-in-law.

Perhaps you could ask her what else you could do to regain her trust. If she or your son cannot offer any concrete ways in which you could help rectify the situation, you’ll have to hope that time will heal the wounds. Regardless, please try to be compassionate toward yourself, and seek out the support and company of friends, loved ones or a bereavement support group.

Dear Annie: You are the best one to have this spot yet. Next to brushing my teeth, reading your column is the first thing I do every morning.

I’m writing because you previously published a poem about losing a pet. I kept it for the longest time and now have misplaced it. My son and his wife are losing their beloved Lab, and I need to share that piece with them to help ease the pain. Could you please send it to me?

P.S. My lovely wife and I have been together for 59 years, and I’ve no problems to report so far -- but I keep telling her that if she ever messes with me, I am writing to Annie. Keep up the good work. -- Charles E. Dear Charles E.: My heart goes out to your son and his wife.

I believe you’re referring to the poem “The Rainbow Bridge.”

It has brought me great comfort over the years, and I hope it will do the same for your family.

“By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill, “Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.

“Where the friends of man and woman do run, “When their time on earth is over and done.

“For here, between this world and the next, “Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.

“On this golden land, they wait and they play, “Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.

“No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness, “For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.

“Their limbs are restored, their health renewed, “Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.

“They romp through the grass, without even a care, “Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.

“All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back, “Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.

“For just at that instant, their eyes have met; “Together again, both person and pet.

“So they run to each other, these friends from long past, “The time of their parting is over at last.

“The sadness they felt while they were apart, “Has turned into joy once more in each heart.

“They embrace with a love that will last forever, “And then, side-by-side, they cross over... together.”

HINTS FROM HELOISE SAVE ME FROM THE OFFER! Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND OFF is about stores that hound us to open a credit card account with them: “Dear Heloise: I absolutely hate it when I go shopping and the salespeople pester me about opening an account with them. I don’t want credit card debt. In fact, I don’t want any debt, because we’re looking to buy our first home. When I say ‘No, thank you,’ they persist with, ‘What! Do you mean to tell me you don’t want to save 20 percent on today’s purchase?’ It seems like everywhere I go, someone is trying to pressure me into signing up for a credit card. I wish salespeople would get the hint -- ask once, then leave me alone!” -- Brandon K., Cypress, Calif.

Brandon, I know it gets annoying, but many stores give the sales force quotas requiring them to open up a certain number of accounts or in time lose their jobs. Just ignore their pleas. -Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 78279-5000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com

‘True Blood’ actor Nelsan Ellis dead at 39

By JOCELYN NOVECK AP National Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Actor Nelsan Ellis, best known for his memorable portrayal of Lafayette Reynolds on HBO's "True Blood," has died at the age of 39.

Ellis' manager, Emily Gerson Saines, confirmed the actor's death in an email Saturday. The Hollywood Reporter, which was first to report Ellis' death, quoted her as saying the actor died from complications of heart failure.

The Illinois-born actor, who studied at Juilliard, played the role of Lafayette, a gay short order cook, on the HBO drama from 2008 to 2014, and more recently appeared in the CBS detective series "Elementary." He also was a playwright and a stage director.

Ellis appeared as Martin Luther King, Jr. in Lee Daniels' "The Butler," and as singer Bobby Byrd in the James Brown biopic "Get On Up." He also appeared in "The Help," and his castmate Octavia Spencer mourned his death on Instagram. "My heart breaks for his kids and family," the actress wrote.

On Twitter, some fans posted one of his more famous

scenes as Lafayette, where the character marches out of the kitchen to confront some bigoted diners.

HBO released a statement saying the network was "extremely saddened" by Ellis' death.

"Nelsan was a long-time member of the HBO family whose groundbreaking portrayal of Lafayette will be remembered fondly within the overall legacy of 'True Blood,'" the statement read. "Nelsan will be dearly missed by his fans and all of us at HBO." "True Blood" creator Alan Ball called Ellis "a singular talent whose creativity never ceased to amaze me. Working with him was a privilege."

In a 2012 TV interview in Chicago, Ellis recalled that it took four auditions for him to nail the role of Lafayette. At first, he said, he was playing the role as a caricature, and was told to "go back to the drawing board and figure it out."

He then began to channel his mother. "Once I started to act like my Mama, my fourth audition, I got the part," he said.

Born in Harvey, Illinois, Ellis attended Thornridge High School, where he credited teachers with instilling the craft of theater in him. He later attended Juilliard in New York City.

In this June 21, 2011 file photo, Nelsan Ellis arrives at the premiere for the fourth season of HBO's "True Blood" in Los Angeles.

World Series of Poker’s championship opens in Vegas LAS VEGAS (AP) — The best in golf shoot for a green jacket at the Masters. The deftest in tennis try for a title at Wimbledon. And the most skilled in poker attempt to earn a bracelet at the World Series of Poker no-limit Texas Hold 'em Main Event.

The premier poker tournament opens Saturday in Las Vegas with an attendance expected to surpass 6,000 players.

The men and women, including pros, amateurs, athletes and celebrities, will risk $10,000 and put themselves through a mentally and physically grueling schedule to try to earn a piece of the more than $60 million prize pool, a gold bracelet and bragging rights.

"It's very simple. It's kind of like the Super Bowl of poker.

It's the single most important tournament of the year," said Jonathan Duhamel, who won the Main Event in 2010. "Your whole life is going to change if you win that tournament."

The Main Event is the end of this year's edition of the World Series of Poker, whose dozens of tournaments have once again drawn tens of thousands of poker fans and players from around the world to compete for millions of dollars in prize money at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino. Over 10 days, the number of players will shrink down to nine, who will go on to compete for the top prize.

Last year, the Main Event alone saw 6,737 players. Las Vegas resident Qui Nguyen bested the competition to take home more than $8 million and the coveted bracelet made from 427 grams of white and yellow gold and more than 2,000 diamonds and rubies totaling more than 44 carats.

Of the nine players who make it to the end this year, the champion will be crowned in July, not the fall.

For about a decade, the final table of the main event had been delayed until November to allow tape-delayed, reality TV-style coverage of the tournament to run before the competition's finale aired live. The change came after ESPN com-

mitted to add live coverage for the entire Texas Hold 'em tournament, effectively eliminating the need for the long break.

The final nine players will take a two-day break and return to play July 20. But getting that far into the tournament is so challenging, even some of the most recognizable names in poker have not conquered the event.

Pro players like Phil Ivey and Daniel Negreanu each have a collection of bracelets, but not one from the Main Event.

"You have to go step by step. You can't win on day one," Duhamel said. "... You look at your table, you try to play well, be lucky and make it through the day with some chips.

And you do the same thing the day after and the day after.

There's no magic trick to win the tournament."

Regardless of age — the tournament's youngest champion was shy of 22 when he was crowned — players will have to spend several hours at the table for consecutive days. To avoid burning out, some will stick to a variety of routines, including fasting intermittently, meditating and exercising.

Booths set up at the convention center offer several services and products to make the players feel more comfortable. Players can purchase food, glasses, headphones and bracelets that supposedly provide allergy relief. They can also hire massage therapists and accountants.

Standup comedians and actors Ray Romano and Brad Garrett are among the celebrities that have already bought into the tournament. Organizers also expect Olympic champ Michael Phelps to participate.

"What's so great about the Main Event is that it's not just about the professional poker players," said poker pro Maria Ho, who'll be entering the tournament for the 10th time.

"Seventy percent of the people who play are recreational players. There's kind of an equal chance for everybody to win, and that's not possible in any other sport."

Man who died in Texas skydiving accident was voice actor HOUSTON (AP) — An experienced skydiver who was also a longtime voiceover actor has died after a midair collision during a jump at a Southeast Texas skydiving center.

The Houston-area center, Skydive Spaceland, says in a statement that two seasoned skydivers deployed parachutes normally during a planned group jump on Saturday, but that they later collided and fell to the ground, killing one and injuring the other.

The man who died was identified by his longtime agent as Randy Schell, who worked as a voiceover actor for more than 25 years. Schell's voice could be heard on commercials for different television shows, including "Fear the Walking Dead," and for various companies, including Geico.

His agent, Jenny Bosby, on Sunday described Schell as a "generous, spirited man" who mentored many in his industry.

YOUR

HOROSCOPE

By Jaqueline Bigar

DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, July 10, 2017: This year you feel the pull and push of those in power. A boss could become controlling to the extent that you might have trouble dealing with him or her. Consider not reacting, if possible. If you are single, a friendship plays a major role in creating a romance. You might meet this person at a party or with a friend. If you are attached, you often find that you need to back off and stop arguing with your sweetie about who’s right. Once you accept and respect your differences, the romance between you will heat up.

AQUARIUS can be a warm, caring friend who presents a different view.

You provide a great example of what time can do and how it can change a person’s attitude. Focus on a meeting whose purpose you can identify with. Tonight: Invite a special friend along.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You have the ability to impress those who count, particularly a parent or boss. You will be accepting more responsibility than you have in a while.

Recognize how much ground you need to cover, as you could have several projects to carry out. Make an important call to someone at a distance. Tonight: Break past the obvious.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You prefer to relate on a oneon-one level. A partner has a tendency to be too intense; however, you will note that his or her approach and views seem to be transforming. Be gracious, and make no assumptions. Tonight: Confirm plans rather than show up at the wrong place.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Defer to someone whom you care a lot about; you will want some feedback about a prevalent issue. Ask key questions in order to gain more information. A work matter might seem more serious than it actually is. Know that everything will be OK. Tonight: Accept an offer.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might want to have an important discussion. Listen to what is being shared. Know that there are deep feelings motivating you. Don’t be overly concerned about an issue that keeps escalating, as it is likely to increase your anxiety. Tonight: Happily head home and relax.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You could run into a friend or sibling whom you adore. As a result, you might decide to change your schedule.

Honor a fast change that involves a special person or project. Center yourself before responding, and you’ll avoid a knee-jerk reaction. Tonight: Consider a trip.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Be more sensitive to others, and recognize what they have to offer.

You might want to have a long-overdue discussion about the long term and where you are heading. Finances could come into play as a major concern in your decision-making process. Tonight: Out and about.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Others seem to be rather chatty, and so could you! You will enjoy a sense of connection with the people around you. Caring emanates between you and a younger person or a new love interest. Consider your options more carefully. Tonight: Get into a moment of excitement.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You’ll be more in tune with your inner voice than you normally are.

Watch out, as you have a tendency to be overly sensitive until someone or something shakes you out of it. Investigate an offer involving your family life. Tonight: Home is where your heart is.
