Narcotics seized, suspect arrested By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The city’s newest detective got his feet wet Friday evening when he executed his first search warrant and arrested his first alleged drug dealer. Det. Sgt. Stephen K. Dickinson reports that Det. James Renaudette wrote an application for a warrant to conclude a month-long narcotics investigation and the warrant was granted. A team of detectives, assisted by the neighborhood’s community policing officer, Douglas Lavalley, set up surveillance on the object of the warrant, Adeny Santiago, 23, of 25 Collins St. and the apartment complex where he lives. The officers made their presence known when he returned to his home and the officers approached him to serve the warrant. After serving the warrant, Santiago, who had reportedly sold narcotics the an undercover officer earlier in the investigation, was searched and he was found to be
in possession of $107 including currency which had been recorded before it was used to pay for the narcotics purchased by the undercover officer, Dickinson said. Inside the apartment where Santiago lives with his mother (who was not home) the detectives began their search and Santiago told Renaudette that what he was looking for would be found in his sock drawer. Dickinson reports that the detectives found, in the sock drawer and elsewhere in the suspect’s bedroom, a healthy marijuana plant growing under artificial light in the closet with two seedlings, four cellphones, a single bag of heroin stamped with the same logo found on the heroin which had been sold to the officer, more cash and a jar of rice. Inside the jar with the rice (which Dickinson said is routinely used by narcotics dealers to keep contraband dry) were 24 more bags of heroin.
By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The City Hall elevator will be shut down today to allow repair of a pump which is leaking, creating a safety concern which city officials hope is addressed by Wednesday, with the elevator back in service by Thursday. The elevator, the only one in city hall, is needed by people who are mobility or COPD challenged and who need to reach the business offices on the upper three floors. The elevator, with handicapped access in the basement, was closed for nearly three weeks, beginning on March 24, after failing a state certification inspection. Building Superintendent Jon Flagg said the custodian foreman Tom Curran discovered the oil leaking from the pump and called in the technician who determined that the pump needs to be replaced. “This is something we found after the state inspection when Tom was cleaning up,” Flagg said. “None of the things cited in the noncompliance notification by the state inspector were safety issues.” “This is a safety issue. A pump that sprung a leak and needs to be replaced,” Flagg said. “The pump replacement work is being done by Baystate Elevator.” Flagg said that the prior threeweek shutdown was because the city’s elevator contractor, ThyssenKrupp “took that long to
get the paperwork to Boston to get an inspector back here. That was part of their contract, but they just dragged their feet.” Flagg said the corrective steps were completed the day after the state inspection, but the city would not return the elevator to service until the inspector signed off on the recertification. The elevator is located on the east side of City Hal, adjacent to the parking lot. There is clear wheelchair access to the entire first and second floors, but the third floor has an elevated section. The building was brought into compliance with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) when two wheelchair lifts were added to either side of the elected third floor section but that system requires the elevator to function to get people to the third floor. Ward 4 City Councilor Mary O’Connell raised the ADA issue in April while the City Council conducted two public hearings while the elevator was out of service, preventing people who need that service from attending the hearings. Three meetings slated for today have been rescheduled or cancelled. The License Commission rescheduled its meeting, while the Council on Aging and the Police Commission cancelled their meetings. The Commission for Citizens with Disabilities, slated for Tuesday night, also cancelled their meeting.

Governor celebrates interns HOLYOKE – Governor Deval Patrick on Friday joined staff and former and current interns to celebrate the successful internship and fellowship opportunities in his Western Massachusetts Regional Office. Since forming the office six years ago, 85 students have gained valuable experience and an important understanding of civic engagement and public service through hands-on learning. The office addresses public concerns and provides a vital link between the State House and the Western region.
“I want to thank all our past and current interns for making the decision to become active participants in their government and for helping us to make the Western Massachusetts Regional Office an important resource for constituents in the area,” said Patrick. In addition to the fall and spring internship programs, the Springfield office manages a summer intra-agency program. This year’s intra-agency collaborative began June 2 and runs through See Interns, Page 3

Wine lovers raise a glass to direct shipping law By BOB SALSBERG Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Whether it’s pinot noir, merlot, chardonnay or cabernet sauvignon, wine lovers in Massachusetts will soon be able to have some of their favorite bottles shipped straight from the vineyards to their homes. A provision in the new state budget lifts a long-standing prohibition on direct deliveries from wineries to consumers. It follows a spirited campaign by out-of-state producers and customers that recently received a major endorsement from former New England Patriots quarterback Drew Bledsoe, who operates a winery in Washington state. The law won’t take effect until Jan. 1, but connoisseurs in a state with one of the nation’s highest per capita wine consumption rates are anxious to enjoy the convenience of ordering brands that are currently difficult or impossible to find on local store shelves. “It definitely opens the door to us wine geeks to have, right on our doorsteps, these cool, funky, small-producers’ wines,” said Lorraine Martinelle, of Worcester. Although she’s made frequent trips to wine country in California and abroad, the best Martinelle said she could do was to have her favorites shipped to her friend’s home in neighboring Connecticut. According to Free the Grapes, an industry-backed group based in Napa, California, direct wine shipping occurs in all but nine other states: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Kentucky, Mississippi, Oklahoma, See Wine Laws, Page 8

Divers, snorkelers converge for undersea ‘concert’ BIG PINE KEY, Fla. (AP) — Nearly 500 divers and snorkelers submerged in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary on Saturday for a “concert” beneath the sea broadcast by a local radio station. The 30th annual Lower Keys Underwater Music Festival, held at Looe Key Reef along the continental United States’ only living coral barrier reef, featured four hours of commercialfree music piped below the surface via a series of underwater speakers. “We started this as an arts and cultural event 30 years ago (and) thought it would be a one-time thing,” said event co-founder and coordinator Bill Becker. “It’s the only place we know of where music is put underwater for divers, snorkelers and the marine life.” The water-themed playlist included such tunes as the Beatles’ “Octopus’s Garden” and the themes from Disney’s See Under The Sea, Page 8

O
n July 14, 1789, in an event symbolizing the start of the French Revolution, citizens of Paris stormed the Bastille prison and released the seven prisoners inside.
On this date: In 1881, outlaw William H. Bonney Jr., alias “Billy the Kid,” was shot and killed by Sheriff Pat Garrett in Fort Sumner in present-day New Mexico. In 1913, Gerald Rudolph Ford Jr., the 38th president of the United States, was born Leslie Lynch King Jr. in Omaha, Neb. In 1914, scientist Robert H. Goddard received a U.S. patent for a liquid-fueled rocket apparatus. In 1921, Italian-born anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were convicted in Dedham, Massachusetts, of murdering a shoe company paymaster and his guard. (Sacco and Vanzetti were executed six years later.) In 1933, all German political parties, except the Nazi Party, were outlawed. Cartoon character Popeye the Sailor made his movie debut in the Fleischer Studios animated short, “Popeye the Sailor.” In 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a measure providing funds for a national monument honoring scientist George Washington Carver; the monument was built at Carver’s birthplace near Diamond, Missouri. In 1958, the army of Iraq overthrew the monarchy.
In 1964, in a speech to the Republican national convention in San Francisco, New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller was booed by supporters of Barry Goldwater as he called on the GOP to denounce political extremists. In 1966, eight student nurses were murdered by Richard Speck in a Chicago dormitory. In 1976, Jimmy Carter won the Democratic presidential nomination at the party’s convention in New York. in 1980, the Republican national convention opened in Detroit, where nominee-apparent Ronald Reagan told a welcoming rally he and his supporters were determined to “make America great again.” In 1999, race-based school busing in Boston came to an end after 25 years.
Ten years ago: The Senate scuttled a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. (Forty-eight senators voted to advance the measure — 12 short of the 60 needed — and 50 voted to block it). In Iraq, a suicide attacker detonated a massive car bomb at a checkpoint near the British Embassy and the interim government’s headquarters in Baghdad, killing 11 people; the governor of Nineveh province was killed in an attack on his convoy.
Five years ago: At her Senate confirmation hearing, Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor pushed back vigorously against Republican charges that she would bring bias and a liberal agenda to the nation’s highest bench. Disgraced financier Bernard Madoff arrived at the Butner Federal
Correctional Complex in North Carolina to begin serving a 150-year sentence for his massive Ponzi scheme. The American League continued its dominance over the National League with a 4-3 win in the All-Star game at new Busch Stadium in St. Louis.
One year ago: Thousands of demonstrators across the country protested a Florida jury’s decision the day before to clear George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. German Chancellor Angela Merkel, in a TV interview, called for tougher European and global rules on data protection amid fallout from recent revelations about U.S. surveillance programs.

Group works to keep Connecticut River clean By FRAN RYAN Daily Hampshire Gazette NORTHAMPTON (AP) — Once one of the more polluted waterways in the nation, the Connecticut River, has come a long way from its tainted past when few people were on it to boat, much less swim or fish. “Just 40 or 50 years ago, people that used to row on this river would get a tetanus shot as a preventative step before getting out on the water,” said Andrew Fisk, executive director of the Connecticut River Watershed Council based in Greenfield. Today, the river is healthier than it has been in years, thanks to state and federal legislation that regulates the discharge of pollutants and sets water quality standards, as well as the organizations such as the watershed council which monitor its cleanliness. River contamination can be caused by the runoff of melting snow and rainwater as it flows over roads, bridges, parking lots, rooftops, lawns and agricultural areas where it picks up a variety of contaminants. These include pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, antifreeze, engine oil, heavy metals and sediment, which are then deposited into the river. However, according to the watershed council, the most significant contaminant that directly affects the health of swimmers and boaters is the presence of bacteria — specifically, Escherichia coli which is popularly known as E. coli. E. coli can cause severe abdominal cramps, bloody diarrhea and vomiting. Though most healthy adults recover from an E. coli infection within a week, young children and older adults can develop a life-threatening form of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome. Although recreation on the Connecticut River is now much safer, enthusiasts are still cautioned to be aware of the ebb and flow of bacterial contamination. Every week from Memorial Day until Oct. 1, volunteers take samples from designated monitoring locations on the river. Samples are then sent to the watershed council’s water testing laboratory in Greenfield. Volunteer Phil Crafts of Leverett has been collecting water samples for four years near the Coolidge Bridge and the Oxbow in Northampton. “I collect the samples, record some notations on weather and temperature, and put the samples on ice to be delivered to the laboratory,” Crafts said. The Greenfield lab tests solely for the presence of E. coli because it is also a reliable indicator of the presence of other harmful bacteria. The watershed council together with the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission, provides weekly updates on the current levels of E. coli found along the river. The results are posted online at www.connecticutriver.us along with a map of the sites with color-coded markers indicating the levels of water quality. Blue shows that the site is safe for swimming and boating, yellow means it is suitable for boating only, and red warns that the water is not safe for boating or swimming. “The areas around Northampton and north tend to be more consistently blue, but south of Northampton it’s a different story,” Fisk said. “Last year, one out of four samples turn up yellow or red.” Andrea Donlon, river steward with the watershed council,

said volunteers collect samples every Thursday and the results are posted on Fridays. “We do it this way so people can be informed as they plan their weekend activities,” she added. While modern sewer systems have separate transport pipelines — one for sewage and another for stormwater runoff — older ones known as combined sewer overflow systems carry both sewage and runoff in one pipe. When heavy rains inundate these systems, they empty both runoff and raw sewage into the river, causing significant spikes in bacteria levels. Weekly testing not only informs the public considering recreation on the river, it also helps in tracing the source of contamination, uncovering leaks in pipes and faulty sewage systems. Donlon said that a riverfront site in Springfield once occupied by a boat company continually came up with unexpectedly high test results. After the planning commission contacted the city in 2009, an investigation was launched which revealed that, contrary to popular belief, the building’s sewage system was not connected to the city’s system but was instead traveling through pipes under the parking lot and into the river. The problem was eventually fixed and the building is now a rowing facility called the Pioneer Valley Riverfront Club. “In 2000, nine towns discharged 1.7 billion gallons of untreated sewage and rainwater from 149 pipes,” Fisk said. “Today, we have eliminated 1 billion gallons of untreated sewage and rainwater runoff.” According to Fisk, Agawam, Ludlow, Palmer, South Hadley and West Springfield have eliminated all of their combined sewer overflow systems, while Springfield, Chicopee and Holyoke continue to rely on the outdated systems. “We have eliminated 99 of 163 sewage fallouts in the region. Roughly $350 million was spent to fix part of the problem, and it will take at least that much and probably much more to fix the rest,” Fisk said. Until then, while weekly testing provides a snapshot of bacterial levels at one point in time, experts say the information is an important tool that helps people to make informed decisions about using the river for recreation. The best rule of thumb is to avoid swimming in the river for 24 to 48 hours after a significant rainfall in order to avoid any contaminants that may have been deposited, according to Donlon. While many of the solutions to the problem are expensive, large-scale remedies that fall to communities and conservation agencies, Fisk said there is one very simple step that people can take that would have a very significant impact on the health of the river. “Picking up after their dogs,” Fisk exclaimed emphatically. “Pet refuse is a big problem and can send the numbers skyrocketing and make you very sick.” Unlike the droppings of wildlife, which are fewer and spread out over large areas, the waste of domestic dogs is numerous and concentrated, washing into the river with stormwater runoff. Fisk said research has shown that almost 20 percent of fecal contamination in rivers has been traced to domestic dogs. Pet waste contains fecal coliform bacteria, viruses and parasites that can threaten human health.

White House plans highway fund overdrive By Jonathan Topaz Politico.com President Barack Obama will be making a major push this week to urge Congress to continue funding the Highway Trust Fund and avoid a transportation crisis. Congress is scrambling to avoid letting the transportation fund lapse. The fund is slated to become insolvent as early as next month. According to an email from a White House official, the president thinks a funding lapse will endanger several transportation initiatives, and he will lobby congressional Republicans this week to support a bill to keep the fund solvent. Committee leaders in both the House and Senate are trying to agree on language for a stopgap measure to at least forestall a funding gap until the end of the year or sometime in 2015. The White House will use much of the week to press transportation and infrastructure issues. On Monday, the Obama administration’s National Economic Council and Council of Economic Advisers will release a joint report on the benefits of investing in transportation and infrastructure projects. The administration also plans to release an interactive map on Monday that will highlight the state of U.S. roads and bridges and highlight the economic toll if Congress fails to act on a transportation bill. On Tuesday, the president will tour the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center in McLean, Va., a facility that focuses on highway technology. Obama will travel to Delaware on Thursday to announce a new initiative to increase business investment in infrastructure. The White House is also sending Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx to visit a bridge replacement project in Charleston, West Virginia, along with West Virginia Democrats Sen. Jay Rockefeller and Rep. Nick Rahall. The group will hold a news conference at the Yeager Airport Bridge Replacement Project, where Foxx will urge Congress to pass legislation on the Highway Trust Fund to continue transportation and infrastructure projects.

By SEN. RAND PAUL Politico.com There are many things I like about Texas Gov. Rick Perry, including his stance on the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution. But apparently his new glasses haven’t altered his perception of the world, or allowed him to see it any more clearly. There are obviously many important events going on in the world right now, but with 60,000 foreign children streaming across the Texas border, I am surprised Governor Perry has apparently still found time to mischaracterize and attack my foreign policy. Governor Perry writes a fictionalized account of my foreign policy so mischaracterizing my views that I wonder if he’s even really read any of my policy papers. In fact, some of Perry’s solutions for the current chaos in Iraq aren’t much different from what I’ve proposed, something he fails to mention. His solutions also aren’t much different from President Barack Obama’s, something he also fails to mention. Because interestingly enough, there aren’t that many good choices right now in dealing with this situation in Iraq. Perry says there are no good options. I’ve said the same thing. President Obama has said the same thing. So what are Perry’s solutions and why does he think they are so bold and different than anyone else’s? He writes in the Washington Post, “the president can and must do more with our military and intelligence communities to help cripple the Islamic State. Meaningful assistance can include intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance sharing and airstrikes.” The United States is actually doing all of this now. President Obama has said he might use airstrikes in the future. I have also been open to the same option if it makes sense. I support continuing our assistance to the government of Iraq, which include armaments and intelligence. I support using advanced technology to prevent ISIS from becoming a threat. I also want to stop sending U.S. aid and arms to Islamic rebels in Syria who are allied with ISIS, something Perry doesn’t even address. I would argue that if anything, my ideas for this crisis are both stronger, and not rooted simply in bluster. If the governor continues to insist that these proposals mean I’m somehow “ignoring ISIS,” I’ll make it my personal policy to ignore Rick Perry’s opinions. But the governor and I do have at least one major foreign policy difference, something Perry also conveniently fails to mention. Said Perry forthrightly during a Republican presidential primary debate in 2012, “I would send troops back into Iraq.” Obviously, this is something he advocated long before the rise of ISIS. At the time, Perry urged the United States to return troops to Iraq to act as a balance against Iran, a country my colleague Sen. Lindsey Graham says we must work with to help beat back the extremists. Does Perry now believe that we should send U.S. troops back into Iraq to fight the Iranians—or to help Iran fight ISIS? As everyone agrees, governor, there are no easy options. Unlike Perry, I oppose sending American troops back into Iraq. After a decade of the United States training the Iraq’s military, when confronted by the enemy, the Iraqis dropped their weapons, shed their uniforms and hid. Our soldiers’ hard work and sacrifice should be worth more than that. Our military is too good for that. I ask Governor Perry: How many Americans should send their sons or daughters to die for a foreign country — a nation the Iraqis won’t defend for themselves? How many Texan mothers and fathers will Governor Perry ask to send their children to fight in Iraq? I will not hold my breath for an answer. If refusing to send Americans to die for a country that refuses to defend itself makes one an “isolationist,” then perhaps its time we finally retire that pejorative.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry. (AP Photo) Today, the overwhelming majority of Americans don’t want to send U.S. soldiers back into Iraq. Is Perry calling the entire country “isolationist” too? The let’s-intervene-and-consider-the-consequences-later crowd left us with more than 4,000 Americans dead, over 2 million refugees and over trillions of dollars in debt. Anytime someone advocates sending our sons and daughters to war, questions about precise objectives, effective methods and an exit strategy must be thoughtfully answered. America deserves this. Our military certainly deserves this. Tough talk like Perry’s might inspire some for the moment, but when bombast becomes policy it can have long and disastrous consequences. It is vitally important that we remember past mistakes so that we learn from them. When Megyn Kelly of Fox News tells Dick Cheney that “history has proven that you got it wrong” on Iraq, it is a very important lesson—we must remember that history so we don’t repeat it. Perry seems entirely comfortable repeating the history, the rhetoric and presumably, the mistakes. This is where many in my own party, similar to Perry, get it so wrong regarding Ronald Reagan’s doctrine of “peace through strength.” Strength does not always mean war. Reagan ended the Cold War without going to war with Russia. He achieved a relative peace with the Soviet Union—the greatest existential threat to the United States in our history—through strong diplomacy and moral leadership. Reagan had no easy options either. But he did the best he could with the hand he was dealt. Some of Reagan’s Republican champions today praise his rhetoric but forget his actions. Reagan was stern, but he wasn’t stupid. Reagan hated war, particularly the specter of nuclear war. Unlike his more hawkish critics—and there were many—Reagan was always thoughtful and cautious. But above all, he was strong. America must always be strong. On foreign policy, Perry couldn’t be more stuck in the past, doubling down on formulas that haven’t worked, parroting rhetoric that doesn’t make sense and reinforcing petulant attitudes that have cost our nation a great deal. If repeating the same mistakes over and over again is what Perry advocates in U.S. foreign policy, or any other policy, he really should run for president. In Washington, he’d fit right in, because leading Republicans and Democrats not only supported the Iraq war in the first place, but leaders of both parties campaigned on it in 2008. Any future military action by the United States must always be based on an assessment of what has worked and what hasn’t. This basic, common sense precondition is something leaders in both parties have habitually failed to meet. The governor of Texas insists on proving he’s no different. Rand Paul represents Kentucky in the U.S. Senate.
Governors talk border crisis with new HHS secretary

By Kyle Cheney Politico.com NASHVILLE — The escalating crisis surrounding the flood of unaccompanied Latin American minors crossing the U.S. border dominated a “getting to know you” session Sunday between the nation’s governors and new Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell, governors who participated said. Medicaid expansion under Obamacare also came up at a separate meeting, but with less urgency than the border crisis. Burwell made no public appearance after her meeting, exiting through a side door after the hour-long session. She testified about the border crisis to a Senate panel last week, emphasizing the need to house the youths and address health concerns. “She was talking about the size and nature of the issue,” said Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam, a Republican, said after the
Sunday session at the National Governors Association summer meeting here. The governors said they wanted to emphasize the potential ramifications of keeping the children in the country over the long-term. Haslam said he had expected the new HHS secretary to focus on Medicaid but those concerns were quickly consumed by the immigration crisis. Haslam, who revealed Burwell’s visit a few days earlier when speaking with local reporters, and Utah Gov. Gary Herbert discussed Medicaid with Burwell, who has been in the job for just over a month. They are among the GOP governors considering some form of Obamacare Medicaid expansion but negotiations have dragged on over the details. Some red states are eyeing conservative-friendly version of expansion akin to programs in place in Arkansas and Iowa and hope talks can get “re-set” with a new HHS secretary.

Crime recorded By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Theft of a bicycle in the city is neither a very unusual crime nor, usually, a crime which is easily solved but the exception may be a bike theft which occurred Friday evening on Bates Road – and was captured on video. Police report that a resident called at 6:50 p.m. to report that her son’s bicycle had been stolen. Officer Brendan Irujo responded to the complaint and reports that the resident said that one of her sons had left his brother’s bicycle near the road and a few minutes later it was stolen by the operator of a white truck. The woman was able to know exactly what had transpired because the incident was recorded by her home security video. Irujo reports that the video shows a boy leave the bike near the road and a short time later a white pickup truck with a wooden frame around the bed drives past slowly. The truck turned around and came back and the video shows a man exit the truck, throw the bicycle into the bed of the truck and drive off. Det. Sgt. Stephen K. Dickinson said Saturday that, given the video evidence, the crime is very likely to be solved by the detective he has assigned to the case. He suggested that the culprit would be well-advised to return the bike or turn himself in before the detective tracks down the vehicle and finds who was operating it Friday evening.

When it comes to 21st century multimedia platforms, “hyper local” is a term you hear a lot. It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newpapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore.

Junior Achievement of Western Mass., United Way of Pioneer Valley partner to bring JA programs to middle school students SPRINGFIELD — Junior Achievement of Western Massachusetts and the United Way of Pioneer Valley (UWPV) have teamed up to bring JA programs to middle school students in the areas served by the UWPV. The first program took place on Thursday, June 5 at North Middle School in Westfield, MA. Every 8th grade student participated in JA’s new program, It’s My Future which is designed to provide practical information about preparing for the working world while still in middle school. The students explored potential careers, discovered how to plan for and keep a job and developed their own personal brands. “This is the first time Junior Achievement has partnered with the United Way and we are very excited to be able to bring programs to middle grade students.” said Jennifer Connolly, President. “JA and the United Way of Pioneer Valley feel strongly that it is important to reach students during key transition years and studies have shown that intervention in the middle grade years is critical because students who exhibit negative behaviors or attitudes in middle grades are more likely to drop out of high school.” “The United Way of Pioneer Valley is focused on supporting the educational success of all children and youth and is pleased to be able to partner with Junior Achievement to build the financial skills and knowledge these young people will need throughout their lives.” said Sylvia deHaas-Phillips, Senior Vice President of Community Impact and Engagement, United Way of Pioneer Valley. The event at North Middle School was the first time students in Western Massachusetts had been introduced to JA It’s My Future. The success of the program was due in large part to Easthampton Savings Bank, which provided 12 of the 19 volunteers for the day. Lynn Starr, Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer for Systems & Operations and a member of the JA of Western Massachusetts Board of Directors noted that “The work that JA accomplishes with our youth is incredibly important to the future of local businesses. JA programs prepare our students for the workforce by inspiring them to set goals, pursue education, and plan for future careers. ESB is proud to contribute resources to support their efforts.” Beth O’Connor, an 8th grade teacher at North Middle School commented that, “The JA program helped the students think about the purpose and how to present themselves to employers. My JA volunteers were fantastic and very engaging.” Sarah Challet, a volunteer from Easthampton Savings Bank wrote, “I feel that the JA program opened the students’ eyes to all that is available to them to achieve in See It’s My Future, Page 7

DENVER (AP) — Whiting Petroleum Corp. said Sunday it is buying Kodiak Oil & Gas Corp. for $6 billion in stock, worth $13.90 per share, in a deal that will make it the largest producer in the booming Bakken region of North Dakota and Montana. The combined company had over 107,000 barrels of oil equivalent production per day in the first quarter. The merger is meant to take advantage of cost savings through technological expertise, complementary drilling areas and better access to capital. It also gives it a stronger credit profile. Whiting CEO James Volker said both companies’ shareholders will benefit from the combination. Next year, the company is expected to produce 152,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, he said. The deal will increase earnings per share starting in 2015. Kodiak shareholders will get 0.177 shares of Whiting stock for every share they hold. The value is about 5 percent above the average price over the last 60 trading days. After the transaction, Whiting shareholders will own about 71 percent of the company, while Kodiak shareholders will own about 29 percent.
Chinese officials will buy more electric cars BEIJING (AP) — At least 30 percent of newly purchased government cars will be electric and other types of “new energy vehicles,” China’s official news agency reported Sunday, as the country attempts to tackle air pollution and encourage the electric car market. A joint plan from five government ministries and departments calls for about a third of cars bought for state use from 2014 to 2016 to rely on clean energy, and the percentage will be raised year by year after that, the Xinhua News Agency said. New energy vehicles include electric cars, plug-in hybrids, fuel-cell and solar-powered cars. China is the world’s biggest auto market by number of vehicles sold.
U.S., Germany vow cooperation despite espionage spat VIENNA (AP) — The United States and Germany put a brave face on an escalating espionage dispute, stressing on Sunday the importance of their cooperation to solving several global crises but offering little indication they’ve fully mended ties. After a meeting on the sidelines of nuclear talks in Vienna, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry each extolled the value of the two NATO allies’ work together on issues such as Iran and Israeli-Palestinian violence. Steinmeier directly addressed the difficult time in the key trans-Atlantic partnership, without explicitly mentioning the reports of two German government officials recruited by American intelligence. The accounts have rocked relations, coming on the heels of revelations about widespread U.S. spying in Germany. “Relations between Germany and the U.S. are necessary and indispensable, and that’s for both of our sides,” Steinmeier told reporters in German. Still, he acknowledged the recent “difficulties” and urged that relations “revive on the basis of trust and mutual respect.” Kerry said their discussions touched on Iran, Iraq and violence in the Middle East, where Steinmeier is going Monday. “The relationship between the United States and Germany is a strategic one and enormous political operation,” Kerry said. “We are great friends. And we will continue to work together in the kind of spirit we exhibited today.” Kerry, mustering up his best German, then offered Germany “good luck” in
Sunday’s World Cup soccer final against Argentina. But he made no mention, even indirectly, of the two countries’ espionage troubles. The most significant consequence of the spy reports was Germany’s demand three days ago for the CIA chief in

Berlin to leave the country. That followed published accounts over the last two weeks that American intelligence recruited two Germans — a man who worked at the country’s foreign intelligence agency and a defense ministry employee.

That hasn’t played well in Germany, a country that prizes the sanctity of personal information and bears deep suspicion of government intrusion given its history of Nazi-era abuses and by East Germany’s Stasi security service.

Pennsylvania, South Dakota and Utah. “It’s about consumer choice,” said Jeremy Benson, a spokesman for Free the Grapes, who added that wine lovers from Massachusetts had been among the most vocal of those in states with direct shipping bans. Under the new law, domestic wine producers will initially pay $300 for a direct shipper’s license, with a $150 renewal fee each subsequent year. Shippers may deliver no more than 12 cases of wine (containing no more than 9 liters per case) to each person in a year. The wine must be for personal consumption only and cannot be resold. Wineries must report all deliveries to the state each year and pay Massachusetts excise taxes. The American Wine Consumers Coalition complained that the new law would still prevent direct shipments of most international wines because they are only available in the U.S. through wine retailers, who remain barred from direct shipping under the law. Resistance to direct shipping had come
from liquor store owners who feared a loss of business and from those concerned that wine could easily be delivered to underage drinkers. The law requires that wine packages bear the words “contains alcohol” and be signed for at delivery by a person 21 years or older. Violations could bring fines and license suspensions. A 2006 law allowed some small wineries that didn’t have a wholesale contract in the state to ship wine directly to consumers. But large producers objected, and a federal judge later struck down the law as unconstitutional. Emily Murray, a Worcester resident and wine lover who said she had been frustrated by a lack of direct shipping, said the state’s reluctance to lift the ban wasn’t surprising, given that Massachusetts was also slow to end many of its blue laws, such as its former prohibition on Sunday liquor store sales. Yet it may well have been Bledsoe, who played for the Patriots from 1993 to 2001 and was inducted into the team’s Hall of Fame, who nudged the direct shipping effort over the goal line by visiting the Statehouse last

Oil edges lower after surplus expectations NEW YORK — (AP) The price of oil edged down toward $100 a barrel on Monday after its biggest one-day drop since April following growing expectations of more supplies from Libya. By early afternoon in Europe, benchmark U.S. crude for August delivery was down 28 cents at $100.55 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The Nymex contract fell 3.1 percent last week and is down 4.3 percent so far in July. Brent crude, a benchmark for international oils, was up 30 cents to $106.96 on the ICE Futures exchange in London. Oil prices shot up in June to a 10-month
high over concerns violence in Iraq might disrupt supplies from OPECs second-largest exporter. Prices then drifted lower over the past two weeks as the advance by Iraqi insurgents stalled and oil exports were not threatened. Friday’s decline of $2.10, or about 2 percent, in the U.S. price was the biggest one-day loss since oil fell 2.2 percent on April 22. Some analysts said oil prices could reverse the recent steep decline as the situation in Libya remained uncertain and amid uncertainties over a deal between Western powers and Iran about its nuclear program.

Westfield’s 13-year old Babe Ruth after defeating Pittsfield 10-9 in the Regional Championship Sunday at Bullens Field (Photo by Peter Francis)
13s fight back, win sectionals By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – In a rematch of their second round matchup earlier last week, Westfield’s Babe Ruth 13-year old’s defeated Pittsfield 10-9 in a see-saw affair to claim the sectional championship. After blasting Worcester earlier in the week and defeating Pittsfield 3-1 in the next round, Westfield waited patiently as Pittsfield roughed up Holden to advance to the championship at Bullens Field yesterday. While Pittsfield drew first blood in the opening inning, Westfield charged back in the second to tie it up on a Jim Hagan single that scored Spencer Cloutier. Westfield tacked on two more with a Joe Raco single and a passed ball which sent Ethan Dolan home. Pittsfield was able to do what no other team in the state had been able
Tale of 2 Tonys at Tour de France 9th stage MULHOUSE, France (AP) — On a day local Roman Catholics were celebrating the feast of Saint Anthony, two other Tonys had their own reason to celebrate in the Tour de France. Germany’s Tony Martin took the stage win Sunday, and France’s Tony Gallopin took the yellow jersey during an up-and-down Stage 9 in the eastern Vosges mountains. Martin, a three-time world champion known more for time-trial dominance, showed that he could climb too; Italy’s Vincenzo Nibali, who has been wearing the leader’s yellow jersey, didn’t lay a hard enough chase of Gallopin to keep it. French media — delighted to see the country’s first yellow jersey holder since Thomas Voeckler wore it in 2011 — reveled in the fact that Gallopin will lead France’s most beloved race on the Bastille Day holiday Monday. The 29-year-old German, meanwhile, said his stage victory might have been an “omen” for Germany’s World Cup ambitions against Argentina — which it turned out to be. Gallopin, of the Lotto Belisol team, said he’d been plotting a move for the yellow jersey since Stage 5 — when he positioned himself for a challenge because Nibali was unlikely to want to hold it all the way to Paris on July 27, when the race ends. It’s a lot of pressure to try to carry the leader’s shirt so long, through the Alps and Pyrenees ahead. But Nibali knows that Gallopin is unlikely to make it up the big climbs ahead, and the Italian didn’t lose any time against his biggest rivals — highest among them, two-time Tour champion Alberto Contador. Gallopin, by finishing about 5 minutes ahead of Nibali, easily erased his deficit to the Italian and now leads him by 1:34. Portuguese rider Tiago Machado is third overall, 4:08 back. But, like Gallopin, he is not considered a Tour contender.

to do in the second, as they drew several walks and smacked three runs on Westfield ace Cloutier to take the lead again. Hagan registered a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the second to send Mike Nihill home, and Cloutier smacked an RBI single up the gut to give the home team the lead once again. The scoreboard tug o’ war continued until the bottom of the sixth, when Hagan launched a double to start the final comeback effort, and scored on a Cam Parent single to tie it at 9-9. Bailey Collier delivered the knockout blow on a two-out RBI double to give Westfield the lead for good. The top of the seventh saw Westfield return to form, and Hagan shut the door on Pittsfield’s season in efficient fashion, inducing two groundouts and one strikeout in relief
of Cloutier on the mound. After the game, Westfield coach Mike Nihill addressed the media under the Bullens scoreboard, with the victorious final tally still displayed. “This is huge momentum for us now,” he said proudly. “Now that we know we’ve got these guys, it doesn’t matter what we’ve got in front of us.” Nihill also addressed the squad’s pitching, which looked uncharacteristically shaky at times yesterday. “Our pitching can now get re-situated. It was getting scary there. If we had to go one more, it would’ve put some strain on us,” he said. “But we’re ready (for regionals). Our depth is there.” “Cloutier, once we saw him get his composure on the mound, the bats came back to life. We kept scoring every inning. I can’t really single anybody out,” he said. “When Collier
Making All-Star game worth big money for Gordon By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Despite missing the All-Star game because of a sprained right wrist, just getting picked was rewarding for Kansas City outfielder Alex Gordon. Gordon was among 47 of the 81 AllStars who had bonus provisions in their contracts triggered by their selection for Tuesday night’s game at Target Field. In addition to the $50,000 bonus, Gordon will benefit from an escalator provision in his deal. By making the All-Star team, his 2015 salary and a 2016 player option rise by $500,000 each to $14 million. Gordon’s deal, which began in 2012, originally was worth $37.5 million but now guarantees him at least $40.2 million over four years and $54.2 million over five seasons. Gordon, elected as a reserve by his fellow players, is among 13 of the original 68 All-Stars who have been replaced, either because they were hurt or were starting pitchers who had outings Sunday. He has not played since Wednesday Four players earned $100,000 AllStar bonuses: Detroit first baseman Miguel Cabrera, Texas third baseman Adrian Beltre, Detroit second baseman Ian Kinsler and Cleveland outfielder Michael Brantley Baltimore outfielder Adam Jones and Orioles catcher Matt Weiters — sidelined by season-ending elbow surgery — earned $75,000 apiece. Players earned a total of $2,165,000 in bonuses, not including Gordon’s escalator. The most popular amount was $50,000, earned by 26 players, and 10 more made $25,000 each.
Three members of the Chicago White Sox had $15,000 provisions: first baseman Jose Abreu, shortstop Alexei Ramirez and left-hander Chris Sale. The smallest bonus, $10,000, was earned by Pittsburgh’s Josh Harrison and Tony Watson.

hit that thing late, that was the boom of the day. He’s been struggling of late, but he had that etched in the back of his mind and he went to work.” “I didn’t think I was going to make anything happen, but it just happened,” said Collier of his late-inning, go-ahead RBI. “I wanted to get us through this game, because then we wouldn’t have another game where we’d have to use more pitching,” said Hagan of his relief effort. “It was good to get those last three out.” The next stop for Westfield’s Babe Ruth 13-year olds is Newtown, Connecticut on for New England’s Regional Tournament on July 25, a place Nihill is more than excited to be heading. “We’ll be facing the best in New England,” he said. “And we fit right in there.”
Anthony, a ‘Knick at heart,’ stays in New York NEW YORK (AP) — Carmelo Anthony wanted to be a Knick a few years ago, and nothing has changed now. Anthony is staying in New York, announcing his decision Sunday in a posting titled “My City, My Heart” on his website. “This organization has supported me and in return, I want to stay and build here with this city and my team,” Anthony said. He explained that he owed it to himself to explore all his options as a free agent, and thanked the teams he met with for their interest. “Through it all, my heart never wavered,” he wrote. The Knicks can pay the All-Star forward nearly $130 million over five years, though Anthony said he would be open to taking less than the maximum salary if it would help build a winning team — and team president Phil Jackson said Sunday, speaking after New York’s summer league practice in Las Vegas, that Anthony did exactly that. “He did exactly what we kind of asked him to do — give us a break in the early part of his contract so that when we have some wiggle room next year, which will hopefully be big enough wiggle room, we can exploit it, provide a more competitive team for our group,” Jackson said. Jackson said he and team officials have known longer than indicated Anthony would sign, but did not want to say anything until they could crunch the numbers and get to a figure everybody agreed upon. “There were some issues about how to structure all the financial part of it,” Jackson said. “That’s still something you can’t jump the gun on, so we just held on to our information for a while. We’re all set.” And now, the next step in rebuilding the Knicks can occur. Jackson is still cautioning that it will take time, but having Anthony is clearly a big piece of the puzzle.

By Peter Francis Staff Writer WORCESTER – Not to be outdone by their 13-year-old counterparts this weekend, Westfield’s 15-year-old Babe Ruth squad swept their state tournament pool, winning 8-2 over Worcester North End Saturday at Arron Krock Field. The win secured Westfield one of the top two seeds and a bye in next weekend’s state semi-final. Westfield coach Don Murray said that his squad got another strong pitching performance from Sean Moorhouse who threw 5 innings, striking out three batters and surrendering three hits. Relieving Moorhouse was Matt Hastings, who pitched two scoreless final innings to preserve the Moorhouse win. Moorhouse helped his cause with a an RBI double which put Westfield up 3-0. The visitors also displayed a balanced offensive attack that has become their trademark, and also showcased some fine thievery on the basepaths, playing aggressive small ball with nine stolen bases on the day. Catalysts in Westfield’s lineup were lead-off man Nick Clegg, who registered two hits, RBI and a run, Zach Jarvis with a double, single and 2 runs scored, Shaun Gezotis with two hits and two runs scored, and Jake Colapietro and Matt Hastings, whose one hit apiece scored two runs. The Westfield 15-year-olds will take the field next on Saturday, July 19 at Worcester’s Logan Field in the state semifinal. Their opponent and the game time has yet to be determined.

Germany basks in 4th World Cup after 24-year wait BERLIN (AP) — It’s been a long wait, and now Germany is basking in its fourth World Cup title. The Die Welt newspaper celebrated Monday with a three-word headline in the national colors of black, red and gold that read simply: “It is true,” while Der Spiegel magazine’s website listed Germany’s titles: “1954. 1974. 1990. 2014!” Midfielder Mario Goetze, who wasn’t born when Germany won its last World Cup, sealed the title with his extra-time goal. “THANK GOETZ! World champions!” screamed the mass-circulation daily Bild. “Super Mario gets the fourth star!” read the headline in Berlin tabloid Berliner Kurier. German astronaut Alexander Gerst congratulated the team from the International Space Station on its “top performance.” He tweeted a picture of himself in a Germany jersey with an extra fourth star — “as experts on stars, we already got one.” Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer said after the match: “All of Germany is the world champion.” The theme was picked up by a top official in Chancellor Angela Merkel’s party, Peter Tauber, who tweeted, “Good morning, you world champions out there!” Merkel and President Joachim Gauck, who traveled together to the final in Rio de Janeiro, posed for pictures with the team and the trophy. And there was another selfie with a beaming chancellor for forward Lukas Podolski, weeks after Merkel dropped into the dressing room during a visit to Germany’s opening match. It’s Germany’s first World Cup title as a reunited nation, though that fact drew barely any attention in German media. West Germany’s 1990 win came with the country just three months away from reunification; united Germany won the 1996 European Championship. About a quarter of a million fans celebrated into the night at the packed “fan mile” in front of Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate, while car drivers blasted their horns into the early hours of the morning. The party resumes on Tuesday morning, when coach Joachim Loew’s team is due to land at Berlin’s Tegel airport and then celebrate its triumph at the Brandenburg Gate. The Finance Ministry said it will issue a special “Germany World Cup champion” postage stamp. But don’t expect Germany to declare a national holiday in celebration. ‘’There is no serious discussion of this,” government spokeswoman Christiane Wirtz said.

Buchholz’s 3-hitter leads Red Sox over Astros 11-0 HOUSTON (AP) — Houston starter Brad Peacock was pulled in the first inning on Sunday after getting just one out. But he was far from the only Astro to struggle in a lopsided 11-0 loss to the Boston Red Sox. Peacock couldn’t locate his pitches, forcing Houston to use five relievers to finish the game. Clay Buchholz allowed three hits and struck out a career-high 12 in his fifth career shutout to lead the Red Sox to their fourth victory in five games heading into the All-Star break. Brock Holt had a career-best five hits, including a leadoff homer, to pace the Boston offense. Holt hit Boston’s first leadoff homer of this season. Dustin Pedroia singled before David Ortiz drew a walk. Astros manager Bo Porter had seen enough and pulled Peacock after he plunked Daniel Nava on his 27th pitch. Porter wanted to make a change before things got out of hand. “It’s not like he had command of the strike zone,” Porter said. “At that point, you say to yourself, ‘Are you going to wait until it is 4 or 5 to nothing or are you going to try to give us a chance?’ I felt like we had a better chance to get another guy in there at that point.” The decision didn’t sit well with Peacock. “I really don’t know why I came out,” he said. “I felt fine. I just had a little control issues there. I didn’t get a chance to talk, but I don’t know.” All of the hits Buchholz (4-5) allowed were singles, and he didn’t walk a batter in his first shutout since June 2, 2013, against the Yankees. Chris Carter extended his career-high hitting streak to nine games with a single with one out in the fourth. Buchholz sailed through the rest of the game, retiring his last
17 batters. “He had it all working,” Porter said of Buchholz. “You look at pinpoint command of his fastball, he threw his curveball anytime he wanted for strikes, mixed in his changeup and did a tremendous job.” Major league hits leader Jose Altuve went 0 for 4, rookie Jon Singleton extended his slump to 12 at-bats with an 0 for 3 day, and both players had an error. Holt, who played at Rice, launched a 92 mph fastball from Peacock (3-6) into the seats in right field to give Boston an early lead. Rookie Christian Vazquez had two hits and two RBIs to help the Red Sox score a season-high 11 runs. Xander Bogaerts walked to start the second and advanced to second on a passed ball. Stephen Drew’s single sent Bogaerts to third and he scored when Vazquez grounded into a double play to make it 2-0. Holt and Pedroia then hit back-to-back singles, but Anthony Bass retired Ortiz to limit the damage. Mike Napoli singled with no outs in the third before Nava reached on an error by first baseman Jon Singleton. An RBI single to center field by Jackie Bradley Jr. pushed the lead to 3-0 before a sacrifice fly by Bogaerts scored another run. The bases were loaded with two outs in the fifth when Josh Zeid replaced Darin Downs and was greeted with an RBI single by Vazquez. A throwing error by Altuve on the play allowed a second run to score and extend the lead to 6-0. An error and a single by Drew left runners at the corners with one out in the seventh. The Red Sox made it 7-0 on a sacrifice fly by Vazquez. Holt singled before Pedroia walked, and Ortiz drew a bases loaded walk to push the lead to eight runs. Boston tacked on three more in the ninth inning.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Paul Pierce turns 37 in October and isn’t quite the offensive force he was when he was leading the Boston Celtics to the championship seven years ago. The old man showed last year in Brooklyn that he still knows how to knock down a clutch shot and grind out a playoff series victory, which made the up-and-coming Washington Wizards eager to add the man known as “The Truth.” Pierce and the Wizards agreed to terms on a two-year deal on Saturday night, a person with knowledge of the agreement told The Associated Press. The deal is for the mid-level exception, which is about $5.3 million for next season, and includes a player option in the second year of the contract. The person requested anonymity because the Wizards have not officially announced the signing. “Welcome the truth @paulpierce34 to DC...#wizkids!!” Wizards point guard John Wall tweeted. After spending the first 15 seasons of his career in Boston, Pierce is on the move for the second straight summer in a deal first reported by ESPN, and the Wizards couldn’t be happier. Wall and Bradley Beal have formed one of the most exciting young backcourts in the league, and they helped the surprising Wizards to their first playoff series victory since 2005. Looking to build on that momentum, the Wizards have already brought back coach Randy Wittman, signed center Marcin Gortat to a five-year, $60 million and brought back veteran point guard Andre Miller. One player it appears they weren’t able to retain is swingman Trevor Ariza, who agreed to a fouryear, $32 million deal with the Houston Rockets, according to several reports, including USA Today. “I want to thank @WashWizards (owner) @ TedLeonsis ... for two great years,” Ariza tweeted. “I will (always) be grateful for you guys. Much love... To my lil bros @John_Wall and @ RealDealBeal23 stay on that grind love y’all boys. #wizkids #respect.” It didn’t take long for the Wizards to rebound. Now those “Wiz kids” have another big brother to help show them how to take the next step. Pierce averaged a career-low 13.5 points last season in his first year with the Nets. But he is a 10-time All-Star who has gained a reputation as one of the best big-moment players in the league. Pierce doesn’t have a game that relies on extreme athleticism or quickness. It’s predicated more on instincts and an ability to initiate contact to create space to get off that trademark higharching jump shot, which should allow him to remain effective longer than other players who lose some of the juice in their legs as they get older.

WESTFIELD — In the past 18 years WSAA has awarded over $55,000 to Hispanic students pursuing college degrees and have established endowments with the Westfield Citizen Scholarship Fund to ensure that the WSAA scholarship program endures. Another highlight is their ongoing collaboration and the additional endowment fund established with the Westfield Boys and Girls Club. This fund provides financial support to those families who need assistance to cover the club’s membership and/or program fees. Furthermore, over $5,000 has been donated to support other non-profit organizations within the City of Westfield. The success of WSAA is a result of the dedication and hard work of its membership and the ongoing support they receive from local businesses and other donors during our fundraising efforts. Their major event is the Caribbean Golf Outing (CGO), established in 1995 and deemed one of the best golf outings in the area.
Martin become major champion with a major shot By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer SOUTHPORT, England (AP) — This wasn’t quite the “shot heard ‘round the world,” though Mo Martin did hear it. Thinking only about the quality of the shot — not that it might be the winning shot in the Ricoh Women’s British Open — Martin hit a 3-wood from just under 240 yards on the par-5 18th hole at Royal Birkdale and watched it bounced along the links toward the flag. “When it was rolling on the ground, I said, ‘Sit!’ And then I said, ‘Go!’ And it looked perfect, so I didn’t have anything more to say,” Martin said. And then came a sound she won’t soon forget. “I heard it hit the pin from the fairway,” Martin said, the silver trophy at her side. “That was a pretty fun feeling.” The ball rolled against the middle of the flagstick and settled 6 feet away for an eagle. She didn’t realize just how important it was until an hour later, when Shanshan Feng of China and Inbee Park of South Korea couldn’t stay under par, and then couldn’t make birdie over the two par-5 closing holes to catch her. Martin closed with an even-par 72 — no one broke par in the 25 mph wind Sunday — and finished at 1-under 287 for a one-shot victory over Feng and Suzann Pettersen, whose birdie-birdie finish was too late to atone for a pair of double bogeys earlier in the round. The beauty of links golf is that it can be so unpredictable, and the biggest surprise turned out to be Martin.
She had never won on the LPGA Tour in 63 previous attempts, and her first win made her a major champion. “It’s still soaking in, along with champagne in my jacket,” Martin said, doused by other players when she returned from the range to collect her trophy. “This is just unbelievable. It’s literally a dream come true.” She won with an eagle — her first of the year, not unusual considering she is among the shortest hitters in women’s golf. She doesn’t get many chances. The timing for this one could not have been any better. And she was never closer than within two shots of the leaders — until one shot changed everything. “An absolutely perfect 3-wood,” she said. “It’s definitely one to remember.” Feng made eight straight pars — that constituted a charge on this difficult day — until a bogey on the 16th. A playoff still looked likely with two par 5s still to play. She missed a 15-foot birdie putt on the 17th, and hit into a bunker on the 18th and missed a 10-foot birdie putt. She closed with a 75. Park, trying to become the seventh woman to capture four of the LPGA Tour’s majors, recovered from a double bogeybogey start to the back nine with a 20-foot birdie on the 13th, only to fall back to even par when she went over the 14th green and made bogey. She missed a 12-foot birdie putt on the 17th, and then hit into the rough off the tee on the 18th and into a bunker for her third shot. She bogeyed the last for a 77. “Made a lot of mistakes that I really didn’t need to make,”
Park said. “Obviously the last hole drive was really disappointing.” Martin was on the practice range preparing for a playoff that never happened when she hugged her caddie, Kyle Morrison. “Is this real life?” she said. It seemed like a fairy tale for Martin. Growing up with modest means, her father built a cage in their driveway for her to practice hitting balls. She walked on at UCLA. She needed financial help to keep her dream alive, including the six years it took just to reach the LPGA Tour. Martin said she would keep trying if she woke up happy, felt she was still contributing something to women’s golf and could pay her bills. And here she is — Mighty Mo, never happier. And the players couldn’t be happier for Martin, whose popularity it rooted in kindness, humility and hard work. “I thought everybody actually wanted her to win because she’s kind of a short player and on the LPGA, there are so many long hitters, and she’s proving to us that you don’t have to be real long to win a major,” Feng said. “And she’s so nice and she’s always a very good player. So I wanted her to win.” Martin earned $474,575 — she had $599,760 in career money when she arrived in England. Americans now have won the first three majors of the LPGA Tour season for the first time since 1999, with Martin following Lexi Thompson at the Kraft Nabisco Championship and Michelle Wie at the U.S. Women’s Open. “Safe to say it’s the best week of my life,” she said.

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
What should I say to her? Dear Annie: My husband and I have three children, two of whom recently graduated college. We knew the dates of the graduations five months in advance, and we told my mother, the only grandparent they have. We told her how much we wanted her to attend and celebrate the accomplishments of her two oldest grandchildren. She said she couldn’t attend our son’s because she had a board meeting she “simply could not miss,” and the date for our daughter’s graduation conflicted with her picking up her new Mercedes at the dealership. I am beyond hurt that my mother takes such little interest in any of my children. They are awesome kids and are always polite and well mannered around her. What should I say to her? (I know what I would like to say, but I won’t.) Mom’s friends are always telling me how lucky I am to have such a wonderful mother when it couldn’t be further from the truth. Mom is extremely self-centered and is happy to purchase a new piece of expensive jewelry before spending any quality time with her grandchildren. She treats my siblings’ children the same way, with the exception of one sister whose children she positively spoils. She attends those children’s sporting events, school activities and every party she is invited to. I am a loving and caring daughter and want to have my mother in my life, but frankly, I don’t believe it’s healthy anymore to keep being hurt. I thought about telling Mom how I feel in a letter, but I doubt she would see the problem. How do I explain to my kids that it’s not them? How do I handle Mom’s lack of interest? -- At a Loss for Words Dear At a Loss: Your mother sounds narcissistic. If you can accept her as she is, selfish and self-absorbed, you can have a limited relationship. There’s no point inviting her to your children’s events, because you will only be hurt by her response. Your children are old enough to understand that Grandma has personality issues that prevent her from appreciating them, and it is not anything they can change. Don’t expect more than she is capable of giving, and you will be able to handle her with less frustration and sadness. We hope you have friends who can fill the gap. Dear Annie: I’d like to mention something that your senior readers might not be aware of. When my husband (a state employee) passed away, I was given the option of continuing his state health care policy. It is an excellent policy and very reasonable. Not long ago, I was looking through the policy information and came across the fact that should I remarry, I would lose the coverage. I am sure there are others out there who have continued with their spouse’s insurance and might not be aware of this clause. As boring as it might be, I heartily suggest sitting down with one’s health insurance policy to become familiar with all of the ins and outs. I’m pretty sure I would not take a chance on remarriage at this stage of my life. -- Covered in Massachusetts Dear Covered: Too often, people do not check such things and don’t realize that there are hidden clauses and other surprises that merit some attention. We’re certain everyone will take a closer look thanks to your warning. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Hope for the Helpless,” whose husband checks out every attractive woman. Here’s a different take on this issue. As a new bride, I noticed my husband’s wandering eye at the beach. There were lots of pretty young women in skimpy bathing suits. As we looked around, I asked my husband, “Did you see the purple bikini over there?” He later told me it took all the fun out of it when I pointed out the pretty women. -- K. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net.
HINTS FROM HELOISE Soda Box Doesn’t Go Over Easy Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, about the position of UPC codes: “My Sound Off is about softdrink companies. Why can’t they put the UPC code on the same side as the opening to pick up the boxes of cans? It would be so much easier and more convenient for consumers to place the boxes in their cart without having to turn the boxes over to be scanned with the handle on the bottom.” -- Connie O. in Louisiana It can be a hassle to have to turn things over just to be scanned. Until they change the positioning, try placing it on its side in the cart. Then the bottom can be seen to scan the code, and you still can reach the handle. -- Heloise FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Here are other uses for empty thread spools: * Wrap leftover bits of ribbon or trim around them. * Decorate and make into ornaments or garlands. * Nail on drawers with missing drawer pulls. * Glue a wire inside the spool hole and curl the other end of it to hold a picture. * Use to make dollhouse furniture. -- Heloise

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH Your creativity will pave the way to better relationships, work situations and interactions in general. Sometimes you feel limited by time. Schedule a muchneeded visit with a key person in your life. You could get flak today for ignoring someone. Tonight: Be creative in how you use your time. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You might feel as if you can’t do everything you want. This likely will be true, but you can prioritize by using what you deem to be important criteria. You also might want to take another look at your budget. Show caring to a special friend, no matter how busy you get. Tonight: Let the good times roll. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You’ll want to be where your friends are. Stop and take the time to visit with someone who is always present and who you might take for granted. It is much more important to be aware of who really facilitates your life. Tonight: Make calls first, then head out to where there is great music. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH One person could dominate most of your day. Whether you understand the reason why might not make a difference. Ultimately you need to deal with any issues that surround this person. Hopefully, you have only one person in your life like this! Tonight: Relax and spend time with a loved one. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You’ll want to be available to most people right now. You can postpone conversations and interactions, but not for long. Why not complete as much as you can? You will want more free time soon. A restrictive family member could rain on your parade. Tonight: Go along with a request. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You could be overwhelmed, especially if someone is not on the same page as you. Avoid a strong reaction, and let what you don’t like just wash over you. Incorporate more exercise into the next 24 hours, and that will help you release some tension. Tonight: As the evening ages, the day gets better. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Your creativity will kick in as you eye various issues. You’ll see a way to bypass these problems, so be sure to follow that path. A financial matter might not appear to be positive. Do some needed research, and speak with several experts. You will know what to do. Tonight: Visit with a friend. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Be careful not to rain on anyone’s parade; otherwise, it could make you very unpopular. If you really feel negative, take some personal time or include some activity that you love in today’s plans. You could be suppressing some anger. Tonight: Nap, then decide. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to verify plans. Others could decide to follow a different course of action or make other plans. As hard as it might be, try not to take others’ decisions personally. What is good for one person won’t necessarily be good for others. Tonight: Catch up on weekend news. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Someone could be saying “no” to what you think is a great idea. How positive is this person in general? Remember to take his or her comments with a grain of salt. Return calls and messages. Decide to walk in friendlier fields if you want more positive reinforcement. Tonight: Return calls. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You might not like everything you hear, but you will get the message. Do your best not to let certain people discourage you. Understand where they are coming from, and support yourself as you normally do. Blaze a new path. Tonight: Your treat. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Cryptoquip
Crosswords
HHH Someone could disappoint you, which is likely to cause an unusually strong reaction. You know not to internalize these feelings, yet you do anyway. Dive into a fun happening, especially if it involves a loved one; your mood will change sooner than you think. Tonight: The later, the better.
