Committee member sought

By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – The Town of Southwick is currently seeking residents to fill open positions on the Conservation Commission to fill a vacancy, up for reappointment in 2015. Duties of the Conservation Commission include attendance at meetings and administering the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act. A letter of interest and resume must be submitted to the Board of Selectmen by August 1, 2014, by close of business.

Selectmen Administrative Assistant Sondra Pendleton said once letters are received, they are forwarded to the commission.

“They will make their recommendation, which is sent to the board for appointment,” said Pendleton.

“If there are a number of applicants, the board generally asks the commission to narrow them down and they would make a determination to do interviews,” she added.

The Conservation Office personnel consists of parttime Coordinator Dennis Clark, who holds an annually appointed position by the Board of Selectmen.

The commission is comprised of seven members who are appointed by the Board of Selectmen for a three-year term to oversee the requirements of the Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act, and other activities that potentially impact the environment.

The Southwick Conservation Commission’s mission is to serve as the conservation conscience of the town, providing leadership for natural resources planning. The commission works to protect, and where possible enhance plant and wildlife habitat to maintain Southwick’s natural resources.

The commission, governed by Open Meeting Law, meets on the first and third Monday of each month in the second floor Land Use Meeting Room of the Town Hall. The Commission, together with the Mass

By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A city woman who sold stolen property to a uniformed police officer was tracked down and arrested Friday.

Officer Michael Bradley had been in a local convenience store in full uniform when he heard the distinctive sound of a silver coin hitting the counter and, as a coin collector, recognized the sound for what it was.

Bradley found that a woman was making a purchase with Walking Liberty half dollars, minted in 90 percent silver from 1916 to 1947, and was willing to sell him some at face value.

Bradley also learned that the woman had spent others and was able to buy them from the clerk.

When he left the store, Bradley found the woman trying to borrow a car from a person he knew who asked him to check to make sure the woman was properly licensed before he allowed her to use the vehicle.

Bradley complied and learned the woman’s name which he recognized as that of a woman his wife, Det. Roxanne Bradley, had mentioned.

When Bradley returned home and showed his wife the 11 silver half dollars he had bought she told him about the most recent case that the woman, Jenifer Chase, 30,, formerly of 3 Bates Road,, had been involved in.

Chase had been arraigned on charges of larceny of property valued more than $250 by a single scheme, larceny of property valued more than $250 and larceny of property valued less than $250 after she allegedly stole jewelry from her brother.

Det. Bradley asked her colleague, Det. Brian Freeman, who See Swag Sold, Page 8

Commercial use of Old 49er lot proposed

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Rob Levesque, representing a family seeking to build a commercial building at 1056 North Road, gave an informal presentation of the project last week to the Zoning Board of Appeals.

Levesque, of R Levesque Associates, Inc., said the problem with the lot, located at the intersection of North and Old County roads, just across North Road from the intersection of East Mountain Road, is that it does not meet the twoacre requirement under the current Water Resource District zoning.

The lot, which has been vacant more than two decades following a fire at the former bar located near the Holyoke city line, is only 1.6 acres.

Levesque said his clients would like to construct a 7,300-square-foot building which will house a Dunkin Donut shop and two additional stores.

Levesque said the property is

located over the Barnes Aquifer and is zoned for Business A uses.

“It’s a pre-existing lot, but that use was discontinued (following the fire), so we need relief from that section of the zoning,” Levesque said. “That relief can come by way of a variance tied to the soil conditions.”

The soil conditions are related to the need for a septic system designed to address nitrogen-loading in the groundwater of the aquifer which supplies drinking water to four

Levesque said that 1.6 acres is four times the area needed under Business A zoning.

Levesque did not formally apply for relief from the zoning which prohibits building lots of less than two acres, but did discuss the possibility of petitioning the ZBA for a variance.

Typically the ZBA prefers appli-

cants to exhaust all other options before applying for a variance because state law strictly defines what constitutes a hardship which would allow the board to grant a variance.

The zoning does allow exemptions for residential lots of less than two acres, but not for commercial property The board members suggested that a zoning amendment might be

the preferable route in this case. The ZBA is empowered to submit zoning amendments directly to the City Council for its consideration.

The current zoning, adding the requirement of a two-area lot, was adopted in January of 2003. At that time there were only four parcels of commercially zoned land under two areas on the Water Resource District. The issue will be discussed at the board’s Sept. 3 session.

Turmoil abroad not yielding pain at the pump — so far

By Darren Goode Politico.com A strange thing happened in the past few months as Ukraine battled with Russian-backed separatists, rockets flew over Israel and much of Iraq fell to Islamist insurgents: Gasoline prices for U.S. motorists stayed pretty much flat.

The price at the pump has even fallen in the past week, even after Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 exploded over Ukraine and Israel sent ground forces into Gaza. And while the perbarrel price of domestic crude oil ticked upward following Thursday’s double dose of bad news, it’s still slightly cheaper than it was a month ago.

The mismatch between trouble abroad and pain at the pump is a sharp turnaround from most of the past four decades, in which fuel prices gyrated in response to events from the fall of the shah to the U.S. war in Iraq. It’s yet another sign of the unexpected changes wrought by the U.S. energy boom, which has turned the United States into one of the world’s largest oil producers and the biggest producer of natural gas.

Besides the latest turmoil in Ukraine, Israel, Iraq and Syria, prices have also stayed steady even as oil is taken off the global market because of a combination of unrest in Libya and Nigeria and sanctions against Iranian oil exports. That may have been unthinkable just a few years ago, experts say.

“I shudder to think of the price of oil if U.S. production hadn’t come on as strongly as it has the last two or three years,” said Ed Chow, a senior fellow at the energy and national security program of the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

The daily losses in the global oil supply tied to Iran, Libya and Nigeria “have been almost perfectly offset” by the rise in U.S. oil production, said Jason Bordoff, director of Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy and a former Obama administration energy adviser at the National Security Council. The center is researching the reasons for the relative calm in global oil markets and the effects of U.S. shale oil production.

Jim Burkhard, head of oil market research at IHS Cambridge Energy Research Associates, had much the same assessment.

If you were to look solely at the trouble in oil-rich North Africa and the Middle East, “you’d think, gee, prices should be rising, should be higher,” Burkhard said. But the U.S. boom “has been so big and so massive that if you were to look at that alone, you’d say, gee, prices should be lower than they are now.”

As of Friday, the national average price for regular gasoline was $3.59 a gallon, down from $3.63 a week ago and $3.67 this time last month, AAA reported. The weekly average price reached a year-to-date peak of $3.71 a gallon on April 28, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

The U.S. benchmark price for oil, meanwhile, held steady at around $103 a barrel Friday after blipping upward by around $2 the day before. That’s also down from this year’s peak of around $107, set on June 20, according to EIA figures.

Besides the boom in domestic drilling, brought by technological advances like fracking in regions such as South Texas’ Eagle Ford formation and North Dakota’s Bakken fields, prices may have also been held in check by the decades-old ban on exporting U.S. crude oil, which has created a glut in some areas. Demand for gasoline has been restrained as Americans cut back on driving and cars have become more fuel-efficient.

Avery Ash, director of federal relations for AAA, and Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst at the price forecasting website GasBuddy.com, said they expect the per-gallon price of regular gasoline to drop another dime or more in the next couple of weeks.

Some experts offer a caveat, though: Fuel prices are holding steady at levels that would have seemed onerous just a few years ago. Gasoline prices were $1.67 a gallon and oil cost just $30.28 a barrel in late December 2008, after the crash of the financial system. (Gasoline had reached an all-time peak of $4.11 a gallon in the summer of 2008.)

In the past four years, U.S. oil prices have largely stayed in a range from $85 to $110 a barrel amid the ups and downs of events like the Arab Spring.

“We have a new definition of stability,” said Michael Levi, an energy security expert at the Council on Foreign Relations, noting that “a $10 move” in crude oil prices “used to be something people thought was a big deal. Now it’s a sign that everything is calm.”

In addition, the U.S. may be a big energy producer, but it’s still the world’s largest oil consumer, and the price Americans pay is inevitably tied to the ups and downs of the global markets. And the regional glut that had dampened prices in some regions, like Oklahoma, has been partially eliminated now that oil is flowing through the southern half of the Keystone XL pipeline.

Events overseas could still shake the prices out of their holding pattern — for instance, if the Islamist insurgents occupying much of Iraq were to threaten the oil fields in the southern part of the country.

Kerry asserts American authority

By Byron Tau and Kendall Breitman Politico.com Secretary of State John Kerry appeared on all five major network news shows Sunday to re-assert American leadership on the world stage amid two major international crises unfolding in Ukraine and the Middle East.

“The fact is that the United States of America … is more engaged in more places in the world, and, frankly, I think, to greater effect, than at any time in recent memory,” Kerry said on ABC’s “This Week” as he condemned the actions of Ukrainian separatists aligned with Russia and offered administration support for Israel.

“I can’t think of a time when the United States has been engaged in more places, where people are worried not about our — our — our staying, but they don’t want us to leave and they recognize that American leadership is critical,” Kerry said.

The administration is facing two major problems this week that have the potential to spiral into bigger regional conflicts: the crash Thursday of a Malaysia Airlines flight bound for Kuala Lumpur and Israel’s battles with militant group Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

The White House subsequently announced that Secretary of State John Kerry would soon fly to Cairo “to seek an immediate cessation of hostilities.” It also stated that President Barack Obama spoke by phone to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday.

Flight MH17 was shot down in mid-flight by unknown actors in Ukraine, killing almost 300 passengers and crew members.

Israel has been under rocket attacks by Hamas from Gaza and decided this week to follow air strikes by launching a ground invasion; the fighting has claimed more than 400 lives.

Speaking about the shoot-down of the airliner, Kerry blasted the behavior of Russia and the separate forces backed by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“We need full access and this is a moment of truth for Russia.

You know, some of the leaders of the separatists are Russians.

Russia arms these separatists. Russia trains these separatists.

Russia supports these separatists. Russia has spoken out and refused to call on them publicly to do the things that need to be done. So I think this is a fundamental moment of truth for Russia, for Mr. Putin. They need to exert all of the influences they have in order to protect the full integrity of this investigation,” Kerry said on “Fox News Sunday.”

Kerry said Sunday the management of the crash site of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 is “grotesque.”

“There are reports of drunken separatist soldiers unceremoniously piling bodies into trucks, removing both bodies, as well as evidence, from the site, “ Kerry said.

“The separatists are in control. And it is clear that Russia supports the separatists, supplies the separatists, encourages the separatists, trains the separatists. And Russia needs to step up and make a difference here,” Kerry said.

Kerry also said on Sunday it’s now “pretty clear” that separatists were responsible for the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 in Ukraine and most likely received help from Russian forces.

“We know with confidence, with confidence, that the Ukrainians did not have such a system anywhere near the vicinity at that point and time, so it obviously points a very clear finger to the separatists,” Kerry said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Kerry said he knows “for certain” that within the last month a 150-vehicle convoy of armored personnel carriers, rocket launchers, tanks and artillery crossed over the Russian border into Eastern Ukraine and was turned over to separatists. He also described separatists receiving training from Russians and evidence that shows the particular system used to shoot down the plane passing through two towns in the vicinity of where the missile was launched within hours of the tragedy.

“We picked up the imagery of this launch. We know the trajectory. We know where it came from. We know the timing.

And it was exactly at the time that this aircraft disappeared from the radar. We also know, from voice identification, that the separatists were bragging about shooting it down afterward,”

the former Massachusetts senator said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

On the crisis in Gaza, Kerry publicly struck an optimistic tone.

“We’re hopeful, very hopeful, that we could quickly to try to find a way forward to put a cease fire in place so that the underlying issues, so that we can get to the questions. But you cannot reward terrorism. There can’t be a set of preconditioned demands that are going to be met,” Kerry said on “Meet the Press.”

But he was caught on an open mic prior to his interview with “Fox News Sunday” speaking candidly about Israeli operations in the Hamas-controlled territory.

“It’s a hell of a pinpoint operation, it’s a hell of a pinpoint operation,” Kerry said to an aide on the phone, with some measure of frustration.

His comments seemed to be criticizing the Israeli government’s assurances about the limited scope of its attack. Kerry was confronted on air by host Chris Wallace, who asked if Kerry was implying that the Israeli government had gone too far in its Gaza operations.

“It’s tough to have these kind of operations. I reacted, obviously, in a way that anybody does with respect to young children and civilians,” Kerry said, “War is tough. I’ve said that publicly and I’ve said it again.

We defend Israeli’s right to do what it is doing,” Kerry said.

Netanyahu on Sunday blamed Gaza’s ruling Hamas organization for all the civilian deaths in the ongoing conflict with Israel.

“Hamas is both targeting civilians, and Hamas is both hiding behind civilians. That’s a double war crime,” Netanyahu said on “This Week.”

Netanyahu said Hamas is using human shields to escalate the casualties in the conflict, while also targeting Israel’s civilian population. “All civilian deaths — as regrettable as they are — fall on their shoulders,” he said.

Administration critics blasted the administration for its foreign policy failures. Sen. Lindsey Graham called Kerry’s foreign policy views “ridiculous and delusional.”

“It scares me that he believes the world is in such good shape.

America is the glue that holds the free world together. Leading from behind is not working. The world is adrift. And President Obama has become the king of indecision,” the South Carolina Republican said on “Meet the Press.”

“His policies are failing across the globe, and they will come here soon.”

Graham said that Obama’s foreign policy projects weakness to geopolitical foes.

“Indecision reigns,” the senator said. “President Obama is trying to be deliberative. It comes off as indecisive. He’s trying to be thoughtful. It comes off as weakness.”

Man dead after domestic shooting in Ludlow LUDLOW, Mass. (AP) — Ludlow police say a man is dead of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound after a domestic dispute.

Police say the man fired 10 or more shots at the home of his estranged wife at about 6:30 p.m. Sunday.

The woman, her two children and niece were in the home, but hid in a back room and were not hurt. Police helped them escape through a window.

Police say the man shot himself before officers could talk to him and was found dead in the back of the home.

No names were released.

Obama visit to Worcester cost city $186,000 WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) — President Barack Obama’s visit to Worcester to deliver a high school commencement address last month cost the city about $186,000, mostly for security.

The cost reported by The Telegram & Gazette (http://bit. ly/1tq36L3 ) was contained in a letter from the city manager to city councilors.

The police department’s services cost the city more than $122,000. Services the city did for the DCU Center cost $60,000.

Chief Gary Gemme (jem) says about 200 officers were needed for the event. Some were responsible for securing the motorcade route from the Worcester Regional Airport to the DCU Center on June 11, while others were stationed at the venue. The cost also included making sure the rest of the city was patrolled.

The Obama administration’s cautious approach to sanctions against Moscow has not yet threatened Russian oil production or exports, violence has not halted oil shipments in the Strait of Hormuz, and there’s even some hope that nuclear talks could ease U.S. oil sanctions against Iran. But all those factors could turn sour quickly.

“My big concern is that people have taken a period of relative stability and come up with various grand theories as to why this is the new normal instead of a fluke,” Levi said. “I would not bet on this continuation of this relatively low volatility.”

Bordoff noted that the events grabbing headlines last week aren’t occurring in oil-rich areas or otherwise affecting the traditional oil market supply chain. “The oil market just doesn’t see a lot of risk from oil supply from the areas of instability,” he said.

Still, oil prices also include a “risk premium” that traditionally spikes when unrest increases concern about the fuel supply. The unexpected gains in U.S. crude oil production in recent years have largely allowed supply and demand to balance those risks.

“If tensions are keeping a floor on how low prices go, fundamentals are keeping a ceiling on how high prices are going,” DeHaan said. “It’s when those two factors change that we could be looking at a different floor and ceiling.”

The EIA says U.S. oil production this year is on target to average 8.46 million barrels per day, up from 7.44 million barrels a day last year. It’s expected to reach 9.28 million next year, closing in on the record of 9.6 million record set in 1970.

And the EIA said the country appears to have ample oil in storage. “At 375 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are near the upper limit of the average range for this time of year,” the agency said in a recent weekly inventory report.

The boom is having an effect on OPEC, which said Friday that its crude production last year fell 2.5 percent because of a diminishing market share tied to increased U.S. shale oil production. Demand for OPEC oil is expected to continue to decline next year.

McDonald’s, KFC in China face new food scandal

By JOE McDONALD AP Business Writer BEIJING (AP) — McDonald’s and KFC in China faced a new food safety scare Monday after a Shanghai television station reported a supplier sold them expired beef and chicken.

The companies said they immediately stopped using meat from the supplier, Husi Food Co., Ltd. The Shanghai office of China’s food and drug agency said it was investigating and told customers to suspend use of the supplier’s products.

Dragon TV said Sunday that Husi, owned by OSI Group of Aurora, Illinois, repackaged old beef and chicken and put new expiration dates on them.

It said they were sold to McDonald’s, KFC and Pizza Hut restaurants.

The report added to a series of food safety scares in China that have battered public confidence in dairies, fast food outlets and other suppliers.

McDonald’s Corp. and Yum Brands Inc., which owns KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, said they were conducting their own investigations.

“Food safety is a top priority for McDonald’s,” the company said on its microblog account.

The company said it pursues “strict compliance” with consumer safety laws and regulations and has “zero tolerance for illegal behavior.”

A third company, sandwich shop chain Dicos, said in a statement that it stopped using sausage patties supplied by Husi. Dicos is owned by Taiwan’s Ting Hsin International Group, and the company website said it had 2,000 outlets in China as of September 2013.

The Shanghai office of the State Food and Drug Administration said it was working with police to investigate Husi.

“At present, the company has been sealed and suspect products seized,” the agency said on its website.

McDonald’s sealed 4,500 cases of beef, pork, chicken and other products supplied by Husi for investigation and Pizza Hut sealed 500 cases of See Food Scandal, Page 7

U.S. companies report rising sales DETROIT (AP) — Rising sales helped boost hiring and wages at U.S. businesses in the second quarter, and companies are optimistic that the trends will continue this fall, according to a new survey by the National Association for Business Economics.

Fifty-seven percent of the 85 respondents to the quarterly survey said sales at their companies rose in the April-June period. That was up

from 53 percent in the first quarter and 35 percent in the same period a year ago. Just 5 percent of firms said sales fell during the second quarter.

Respondents also said the outlook for the July-October period is strong. Fifty-nine percent of respondents said they expect sales to See Rising Sales, Page 8

By RODRIQUE NGOWI Associated Press CHATHAM, Mass. (AP) — In “Jaws,” the fictional mayor tried to protect the summer tourism season by keeping a lid on reports of the man-eater lurking offshore. As sightings of great white sharks mount off Cape Cod in real life, however, businesses in the Massachusetts town of Chatham are embracing the frenzy.

Shark T-shirts are everywhere, “Jaws” has been playing in local theaters and boat tours are taking more tourists out to see the huge seal population that keeps the sharks coming.

Harbormasters have issued warnings but — unlike the sharks in the movies — the great whites generally are not seen as a threat to human swimmers.

Among the entrepreneurs is Justin Labdon, owner of the Cape Cod Beach Chair Company, who started selling ‘Chatham Whites’ T-shirts after customers who were renting paddle boards and kayaks began asking whether it was safe to go to sea.

“I mean, truthfully, we’ve probably grown about 500 percent in terms of the sale of our shark apparel,” he said. The T-shirts, hoodies, hats, belts, dog collars and other accessories bear the iconic, torpedo-shaped image of great whites and sell for between $10 and $45.

He said his store brings in thousands of dollars in sales of the shark-themed merchandise.

Tourists peer through coin-operated binoculars in hopes of catching a glimpse of a shark fin from the beaches of Chatham. The posh resort town is on the elbow of the cape that has a large population of gray seals — the massive animals whose blubber is the fuel of choice for great white sharks. Local shops sell jewelry, candy, clothes, stuffed animals and beverages with shark motifs.

A study released last month by scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration found the number of great white sharks off the Eastern U.S. and Canada is surging after decades of decline. Conservation efforts and the greater availability of prey such as Massachusetts’ seals, are credited with the reversal.

Shark sightings have soared from generally fewer than two annually before 2004 to more than 20 in each of the last few years off Cape Cod, where the economy depends heavily on the summer tourism season. Despite notices urging boaters and swimmers to use caution, the official reaction has been nearly the opposite of the panic depicted in “Jaws,” the 1975 film shot mainly on the Massachusetts island of Martha’s Vineyard.

By ALEX VEIGA AP Business Writer Investors jumped on a wave of strong corporate financial results Friday, propelling stocks higher for the third time in five days.

The gains wiped out much of the market’s losses from the day before, when the downing of a Malaysian Airlines passenger jet in eastern Ukraine stirred concerns that tensions between Russia and the West could escalate. Israel’s launch of a ground offensive into Gaza also stoked geopolitical uncertainty.

Those worries appeared to ease Friday, as world leaders called for an immediate cease-fire in the region and international attention turned toward the task of determining what led to the aircraft being shot down. Investors turned their attention to the latest encouraging company earnings.

“Typically when these events hit the news, it’s kind of a sell-now, ask-questions-later moment, and then there is a reassessment, and that’s exactly what we had,” said Quincy Krosby, market strategist at Prudential Financial. “Today, the market focused again on earnings, which for the most part were good, surprising to the upside, and the markets just basically got back to their normal business.”

Signs of a rebound appeared early. The major stock indexes edged higher in premarket trading and demand for bonds waned, sending the yield on the 10-year Treasury note lower. Gold and oil prices also declined.

Verizon boosts FiOS uploads to match downloads

By PETER SVENSSON AP Technology Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Verizon is boosting the upload speeds of nearly all its FiOS connections to match the download speeds, vastly shortening the time it takes for subscribers to send videos and back up their files online.

Starting Monday, all new subscribers will get “symmetrical” connections. The cheapest plan will deliver 25 megabits per second up and down, an increase from 15 megabits down and 5 megabits up.

Current subscribers will see their upload speeds raised over the coming months, product manager Fowler Abercrombie said. He expects that 95 percent of Verizon customers will see higher speeds. For the rest, fully symmetrical speeds may not be possible for technical reasons.

With the speed increase, Verizon Communications Inc. is taking advantage of a technical ability that its all-fiber FiOS network has. Rival offerings from cable companies, for the most part, can’t match that because cables were originally designed to send video to homes, not the other way around.

Cable upload speeds top out at about 35 megabits per second, while Verizon’s top tier now offers 500 megabits per second.

Those who share or upload big files will get the greatest use out of higher upload speeds. At the new bottom-tier speed of 25 megabits per second, uploading an hour-long, 3-gigabyte high-definition video would take 16 minutes, a fifth of the time it would have taken on the previous 5-megabit plan. At the highest, 500-megabit tier, the upload would take just 50 seconds.

Verizon’s marketing materials claim that higher upload speeds will also benefit online gamers and eBay shoppers. In real-life use, however, it would be very rare for these activities to see a boost from higher upload speeds.

Verizon has just over 6 million FiOS Internet customers.

the market in positive territory after it opened. Investors drove up shares in Google, Honeywell International, furniture company Knoll and Huntington Banchsares, among others.

The Conference Board’s latest index of leading indicators, designed to predict the economy’s trajectory, stoked the market further. The index climbed in June for the fifth consecutive month. At the same time, investors brushed off a preliminary report showing consumer confidence dipped slightly.

The market built steadily on its gains throughout the day, reversing nearly all of the prior day’s losses and putting all three major U.S. indexes into the green for the week.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index added 20.10 points, or 1 percent, to 1,978.22. The Dow rose 123.37 points, or 0.7 percent, to 17,100.18. The Nasdaq composite gained 68.70 points, or 1.6 percent, to 4,432.15.

The three major indexes remain ahead for the year.

Bond prices fell. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.48 percent from 2.45 percent late Thursday.

All 10 sectors in the S&P 500 rose, led by health care. The sector is up 10.6 percent this year.

Gilead Sciences notched the biggest gain among the 500 companies in the index, rising $4.12 or 4.8 percent, to $89.19.

NVIDIA fell the most, shedding 86 cents, or 4.5 percent, to $18.44.

Investors largely looked through the brewing geopolitical hot spots this week in part because company earnings have been favorable, said Terry Sandven, chief equity strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management.

“Clearly the equity market remains remarkably resilient,” he said. “Despite heightened political issues on the horizon the path of least resistance for equities is still up.”

Generally, early results this earnings season have been in line with investors’ expectations, and in some cases, much better, noted Lawrence Creatura, portfolio manager at Federated Investors.

Late Thursday, Google reported higher earnings and revenue, even as advertising rates continued to drop. Its stock added $24.29, or 4.2 percent, to $605.11.

Honeywell International gained $1.65, or 1.7 percent, to $96.82 after reporting that its income rose sharply in the latest quarter and beat investors’ forecasts.

Furniture and accessories company Knoll and semiconductor Skyworks Solutions also got a lift from quarterly results that exceeded Wall Street’s expectations. Knoll jumped $1.18, or 7 percent, to $18.15, while Skyworks rose $6.53, or 14.1 percent, to $52.87.

Banks have mostly reported strong second-quarter results, including Citigroup and Goldman Sachs earlier this week.

Huntington Bancshares was no exception, reporting stronger earnings and net interest income. Its shares added 45 cents, or 4.8 percent, to $9.75.

The second-quarter earnings season enters its busiest period next week, when the market will get financial results from companies including McDonald’s, Apple, Boeing and AT&T. Among other stocks in the news Friday: — Advanced Micro Devices sank after the chipmaker issued a revenue outlook for the current quarter that fell short of Wall Street’s expectations. The company reported a narrower loss in its second quarter late Thursday. The stock fell 74 cents, or 16.2 percent, to $3.83.

Shark said Gregory Skomal, a senior marine fisheries biologist who also leads the Massachusetts Shark Research Program, who said people are coming in hopes of witnessing the animals in their splendor.

“I have not been approached by anyone who has said to me ‘let’s go kill these sharks.’”

Skomal said sharks have been coming closer to shore to feed on the seals, which he said have been coming on shore in greater numbers because of successful conservation efforts.

Confrontations with people are rare, with only 106 unprovoked white shark attacks — 13 of them fatal — in U.S.

waters since 1916, according to data provided by the University of Florida.

Still, officials are wary of the damage that could be done to tourism if one of the predators bites a person. Brochures have been distributed to raise awareness of sharks and safe practices in the event of a sighting.

“You have to make sure people understand,” Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce CEO Wendy Northcross said, “if they go to the beach and they see a family of seals there, that’s probably not the best place to hang out.”

Laurie Moss McCandless of Memphis, Tennessee, has vacationed on Cape Cod

every summer since she was a little girl and doesn’t remember hearing about sharks back then. But her son is obsessed with sharks, she said, and she’s hoping to hear more about them on their vacation in Chatham.

“He loves all his sharks paraphernalia,” McCandless, 39, said as she bought a shark-themed sweatshirt for one of her three children.

World stocks weak as pressure on Russia grows

By JOE McDONALD AP Business Writer BEIJING (AP) — World stock markets remained on the back foot Monday as tensions grew between Russia and the West over the downing of an airliner in eastern Ukraine.

In Europe, Germany’s DAX was off 0.7 percent at 9,654.54 and France’s CAC-40 shed 0.4 percent to 4,315.92.

Britain’s FTSE 100 dropped 0.3 percent to 6,732.16.

Futures pointed to losses on Wall Street. Dow futures were down 0.1 percent at 17,009 and S&P 500 futures shed 0.1 percent to 1,969.

The shooting down last week of the Malaysia Airlines plane with 298 people aboard has rattled markets, which worried about how Western governments, already alarmed

by Russia’s support for rebels in Ukraine’s east, would react.

The disaster, in an area controlled by pro-Russian separatists, has sparked international condemnation and increased pressure on Russia to stop meddling in Ukraine.

Russian officials have blamed Ukraine’s government for creating the situation and atmosphere in which the plane was downed.

“The more pressure that builds on Russia the more volatile European indices will be,” said strategist Evan Lucas at

IG Markets in a report. “With the strong trade links between the continent and Russia, any disruptions to this through sanctions will cause profit taking on European indices.”

China’s Shanghai Composite Index declined 0.2 percent to 2,054.48 points and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng was off 0.3 percent at 23,387.14. Sydney’s S&P/ASX 200 added 0.1 percent to 5,539.90.

Seoul’s Kospi fell 0.1 percent to 2,018.50 ahead of this week’s release of quarterly economic growth data. Tokyo was closed for a holiday.

Markets in Southeast Asia were mostly higher. Jakarta rose 0.8 percent despite tensions over presidential election results due out Tuesday, with both candidates claiming victory.

Investors were looking ahead to U.S. earnings reports amid hopes American economic growth is recovering.

Results from Apple, Microsoft and Coca Cola were due out Tuesday and Caterpillar on Thursday.

In energy markets, U.S. benchmark crude for August delivery was down 1 cent to $103.12 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract shed 6 cents on Friday to close at $103.13.

The euro rose to $1.3537 from $1.3525 late Friday. The dollar fell to 101.31 yen from 101.36 yen.

Tesco chief Philip Clarke to step down LONDON (AP) — Tesco says Chief Executive Officer Philip Clarke will be stepping down after the latest earnings figures showed Britain’s largest retailer by revenue struggled at home.

Tesco announced Monday that Dave Lewis, currently an executive at Unilever, would become CEO in the fall after the company issued a profit warning describing challenging trading conditions.

Since being named CEO in 2011, Clarke had taken steps to bolster the company’s U.K. business by striving to improve the customer experience, but the company faced intense competition from retailers catering to customers cutting costs in tough economic times.

Phil Dorrell, director of retail consultants Retail Remedy, says Clarke tried to “boil an ocean” and that the result of “trying to change everything was that he achieved little and both customers and shareholders were let down.”

In a string of product scandals over the past decade, infants, hospital patients and others have been killed by phony or adulterated milk powder, drugs and other goods.

Foreign fast food brands are seen as more reliable than Chinese competitors, though local brands have made big improvements in quality.

The high profile of foreign brands means any complaints involving them attract attention, while their status as foreign companies with less political influence means Chinese media can publicize their troubles more freely.

Scandal-weary consumers on Monday expressed mixed feelings.

Chen Lu, 24, an employee of an Internet company, was eating a chicken burger and fries at a McDonald’s in central Shanghai that was half-empty at midday, a time when most restaurants are crowded.

“My boyfriend called and told me not to eat McDonald’s one minute after I ordered this chicken hamburger, but what can I do? I’ve already ordered and I am in a hurry,” she said.

“I am worried about my health,” she said. “I will try to avoid it, at least for a while. I am pretty disappointed in this brand.”

Another diner, Liu Kun, a 24-year-old student from Nanjing who was visiting Shanghai, said he was not concerned.

“The incident won’t change me eating here,” Liu said. “There have been negative reports all the time. McDonald and KFC are the leaders in the industry.”

Westford mom continue honoring slain daughter

By SAMANTHA ALLEN The Sun WESTFORD, Mass. (AP) — Jody Marchand refers to this time as “the afterlife.”

Marchand’s life has been split between time before and after a domestic violence incident which claimed the life of her daughter. Marchand survived the attack.

The victim turned survivor, and now activist, reflected on her mission this month as she prepares to host a run and bike ride in honor of her daughter, Olivia, who was killed at 17.

“I went to the farmers’ market just today. I was giving out yard signs and this woman came over and said, ‘Oh my gosh. I knew Olivia,’ “ Marchand said earlier this month.

“And it’s just weird. Everyone knew her.”

Marchand has spoken openly about the abusive relationship she had with her husband, Brian Marchand, in a marriage she said was based on him manipulating her.

In February 2010, he fatally shot Olivia and then shot Jody Marchand twice in the face before taking his own life. A short time later, Jody Marchand’s sister helped her form the Live for Liv Foundation, devoted to helping other victims of domestic violence.

Marchand said she only has one thing left over from her former life at this point — an elderly cat named Pepper.

From here, Marchand said her mission will always stay the same. She wants to honor her daughter’s life, but she will work to find ways to move on.

“She would have graduated four years ago, so I’m feeling like, as time goes on, I’ve had to learn this — it’s still about her but my

nonprofit... She’ll always be the one that inspired it. Her picture will always be up there (on the website), but I have to move forward.”

Marchand said the sense of loss she feels for her child continues nonetheless.

Not a day goes by where she says she doesn’t wish she could speak with her daughter.

Marchand works to find ways to channel that emotion into a path that will help other victims of domestic violence.

The Ride/Run for Liv event scheduled for Sunday will benefit various groups from around the area through Marchand’s organization. This is the third year Marchand has hosted the event and with 200 people expected to attend, the foundation hopes to raise about $10,000.

The nonprofit so far this year has also partnered with the Hope Boutique, which strives to help victims of abuse in Middlesex County afford the necessities as they move out of a bad living situation.

Marchand said a resource like that could have been helpful in her situation. She said she recognized she was stuck in a dangerous place and wanted to leave, but didn’t have the resources to do so because her husband kept the household bank accounts.

Marchand is now on that new Hope Boutique’s board of directors.

“I said I could afford to get out but it was very difficult. So very often women are in something they don’t even realize,” she said.

“You think, ‘If I do this, it could get better.’

You think you need to be the one to make it better but you can’t even move out because

Marchand said she is compelled to find new ways to help women in her area who may relate to what she went through.

“I have no choice, I feel like. I feel like, ‘What would I do every day?’ I feel like I have to do something so that my daughter is remembered,” she said, “and hopefully help somebody else.”

Marchand added her message for victims in distress is to recognize their feelings. She says

she wants people to know if they’re feeling like something’s “not right,” then it’s just not.

For more information on the July 20 benefit, visit http://www.liveforliv.com/. The Ride/ Run for Liv event, at the 4H Fairgrounds at 51 South Chelmsford Road in Westford, includes a 23-mile bike ride at 10 a.m. and a 6-mile bike ride with a 5K at 11 a.m.

The cost for registration ranges from $30 to $35 for adults and $15 to $20 for youth.

By then, Chase had been released from court after her arraignment on the larceny charges and was no longer living with her family. Freeman reports that since she had no address and was apparently avoiding him he applied for a warrant relative to the theft of her mother’s coins.

On Friday afternoon, detectives learned that Chase was at a Russell Road gas station and she was taken into custody there.

She is expected to be arraigned Monday in Westfield District Court.

Rising Sales

Continued from Page 6 increase during the third quarter, and just 1 percent expects sales to decline. Respondents from the finance, insurance and real estate sector were most optimistic about sales increases, while the service sector lagged.

As sales picked up, so did hiring. Thirty-six percent of firms said they hired more workers during the second quarter, up from 28 percent in the first quarter and 29 percent in the second quarter of 2013.

The employment outlook was steady, with 37 percent of respondents expecting their companies to hire more workers in the July-October period. Finance, insurance and real estate companies were most likely to say they expect employment increases, at 48 percent; service companies were the least likely, at 28 percent. Less than 10 percent of respondents expect employment declines in the third quarter.

For the first time since October 2012, no respondents reported falling wages. Forty-three percent said their firms raised wages during the second quarter, which was than double the share that reported raising wages during the same time period a year ago. More than one-third of respondents — 35 percent — expected wages to continue to increase in the third quarter.

Hiring and wage increases hit companies’ profits. Just 27 percent of respondents said their firms’ profit margins rose in the second quarter, down from 32 percent in the first quarter.

Despite the slowdown, manufacturers and financial companies both said they expect margins to grow at a faster pace in the third quarter.

Some companies improved their margins by raising prices.

Twenty-five percent of respondents said their businesses raised prices in the second quarter, up from 20 percent in the two previous quarters. Eight percent said prices fell, up from 3 percent in the first quarter.

Technology and communications companies and manufacturers said prices were up during the quarter, while service companies and finance companies said prices were softer.

Nearly three-quarters of respondents expect no change in the prices their firms will charge in the third quarter.

The quarterly survey by NABE is intended to gauge business conditions at members’ firms or industries. Almost half the respondents are from companies with more than 1,000 employees.

Hyper • Local

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.

But, day in and day out, The Westfield News provides consistant coverage of the stories you need to know about, that are important to your city, town, neighborhood and home.

THE WESTFIELD NEWSSPORTS Lester sharp again as Sox top Royals

By HOWARD ULMAN AP Sports Writer BOSTON (AP) — Jon Lester just wants to put up impressive numbers on the mound. He will worry about the figures on his next contract later.

Red Sox fans showed appreciation for his latest brilliant outing with loud applause as he walked to the dugout after his eighth and final inning Sunday.

“I hope people are more pleased with how I’m pitching and not how I’m handling contract stuff,” the AllStar left-hander said after a 6-0 win that gave Boston a three-game sweep over the Kansas City Royals.

Lester, who can become a free agent after the season, allowed no Boston Red Sox’s Jon Lester earned runs for the third time in four enters the dug out after pitchstarts. He struck out eight and gave up ing in the seventh inning of a two walks and four hits. Only one baseball game against the Kansas City Royals in Royals player reached third base.

Clearly, he hasn’t let the uncertainty Boston, Sunday, July 20, over where he will be pitching next 2014. The Red Sox won 6-0.

“He’s been a model for others to witness as players get to that stage of their career,” Red Sox manager John Farrell said. “He’s been able to handle it, I think, in a professional manner.”

Lester (10-7) is 4-0 with a 0.85 ERA over his last seven starts with 47 strikeouts and eight walks in a span of 52 2-3 innings. He has yielded just one earned run in 31 innings.

“You’ve got to take each one as an individual,” Lester said. “If I’m out there thinking about what I did last time, I’m not worried about the right things.”

Lester extended his scoreless streak to 14 innings before Junichi Tazawa got the first out of the ninth. Edward Mujica retired the next two batters.

“We matched up against an All-Star pitcher today and he was on top of his game,” Royals manager Ned Yost said.

Yordano Ventura (7-8) gave up all six runs.

Westfield-Pittsfield showdown set

By Chris Putz Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Westfield Post 124 and Pittsfield Post 68 American Legion baseball teams are at a stalemate. This game of tug of war, though, will soon be decided.

Westfield and Pittsfield will meet for the final time this postseason with a championship berth on the line. The final game in Bracket B of the double-elimination tournament will be played Monday night at Bullens Field at 7 p.m.

It has been a roller coaster postseason ride for Westfield, having opened the tourney with a 6-1 win over East Springfield Post 420, followed by an 8-1 loss to Pittsfield. Post 124 staved off elimination with consecutive victories over East Springfield, 12-5, and Pittsfield, 10-3.

Pittsfield opened tournament play with a 2-0 record prior to losing to Westfield.

The winner of Monday night’s game will advance to the best-of-3 sectionals championship against Bracket A.

By PAUL NEWBERRY, AP National Writer HOYLAKE, England (AP) — Rory McIlroy clutched the treasured piece of silverware, his reward for winning golf’s oldest major championship.

Now he’s got his eyes on a new jacket. Something in green, preferably.

With a grind-it-out performance on the final day of the British Open, McIlroy checked off another requirement for joining perhaps the most exclusive club in the game.

U.S. Open? He’s won that. PGA Championship? Yep, got one of those too.

British Open? Took care of that on Sunday.

“I’m immensely proud of myself,” McIlroy said, clutching the claret jug after a two-shot victory over Sergio Garcia and Rickie Fowler. “To sit here at 25 years of age and win my third major championship and be three-quarters of the way to the career Grand Slam, I never dreamed of being at this point in my career so quickly.”

All that’s left is the Masters.

Get ready, Augusta National. This guy isn’t very patient.

“I really don’t have any doubt that he’ll win there,” Fowler said. “It’s just a matter of time.”

Norway’s Kristoff wins Tour stage; Nibali leads

By JAMEY KEATEN Associated Press NIMES, France (AP) — Almost at the line, Jack Bauer and Martin Elmiger were exhausted but could see it coming — their first Tour de France stage victory. Those last 50 meters, however, got in the way.

A bunch of sprinters leading the pack came speeding like a runaway train and plowed past the huffing breakaway duo in the final milliseconds. Stage 15 belonged to Norwegian speedster Alexander Kristoff, his second stage victory in this Tour.

The 138-mile (222-kilometer) stage went smoothly for overall leader Vincenzo Nibali of Italy. He made sure his main rivals couldn’t claw back any time, and he kept his yellow jersey by finishing in the trailing pack.

Bauer said.

The 29-year-old rider came to the Tour to help Garmin-Sharp leader Andrew Talansky, who dropped out before Stage 12 because of injuries from an earlier crash.

The pack perfectly timed its move on the breakaway duo and proved too strong. Bauer was pedaling with his last remaining strength, and when he looked back a last time they were already zooming by. He finished in 10th place, with Elmiger 16th.

“I really gave it absolutely everything, and as you can see from my meltdown at the finish I was pretty disappointed to come away empty-handed,” Bauer added, noting he’s usually a support rider. “I thought I had it, but then I realized in the last 50 meters that I had nothing.”

The Swiss rider with IAM Cycling took it more in stride. This, after all, wasn’t the first breakaway to fail in this Tour.

“I am not disappointed because I actually did not have the best legs today,” Elmiger said. “Being caught by the pack is not so bad when you are convinced you have given everything. As I have already said three times this Tour after breaks have failed, one of these days the wheels will turn in my favor.”

Kristoff, a Katusha rider who also won Stage 12, sighed in relief.

“It was a little bit late for comfort. It was very close,” he said. “I thought I would be second. ... We turned on the gas.”

“Of course, that’s a pity for them, but I don’t See Tour de France, Page 11

After two days in the Alps, Sunday’s stage offered some relief over a flat course from Tallard, southeast France’s parachuting capital, toward Nimes, known for its Roman arena and bullfighting. More relief comes Monday — a second rest day.

This ride showed yet again on the Tour how mighty efforts so often go unrewarded.

Bauer is a New Zealander who had a better shot of holding off the sprinters than Swiss champion Elmiger. Bauer dropped his bike after the finish line, sat on the ground and cupped his face in his hands, crying. They had led nearly from the starter’s gun.

“It’s a fantasy for any cyclist to win a stage at the Tour and especially for a Kiwi cyclist, not many of us turn professional and not many of us get a chance to start the Tour de France,”

Pop-fly single gives Ellsbury, Yankees win

By MIKE FITZPATRICK AP Sports Writer NEW YORK (AP) — When the ball went up, Brian McCann thought it was the second out of the inning. And when it came down, the Yankees had a three-game sweep.

Jacoby Ellsbury got four hits and scored the winning run in the ninth on McCann’s pop-fly single that dropped near three Cincinnati Reds in shallow right field, giving New York a 3-2 victory Sunday.

“I’ll take it, for sure,” McCann said with a laugh. “I saw that everybody was looking at each other. So there was a chance, and luckily for us it fell.”

Ellsbury and Derek Jeter each had an RBI single in the fifth inning for the Yankees.

Hiroki Kuroda outpitched Cincinnati ace Johnny Cueto and left with a 2-1 lead before Todd Frazier’s tying homer off Dellin Betances in the eighth.

Ellsbury also stole two bases and made a sliding catch in center field that saved a run.

“He can do anything on the baseball field.

He showed all his tools today. He does this on a nightly basis,” McCann said.

Ellsbury reached safely all five times up, including a leadoff single in the ninth against Aroldis Chapman (0-3). Before that, lefthanded hitters had been 1 for 18 with 12 strikeouts against the hard-throwing Cuban this season.

Ellsbury got a great jump and swiped second without a throw. He reached third on a wild pitch before Chapman struck out Mark Teixeira with a 101 mph fastball.

McCann, another left-handed batter, lifted a popup that barely reached the outfield grass behind first base. But with the infield playing in, Frazier and second baseman Skip Schumaker scurried back trying to get under the ball as Jay Bruce rushed in from right field.

“It is anybody’s ball,” Frazier said. “If you can get to it, it is your ball.”

All three appeared to have a hard time finding it in the air, however, and the ball landed untouched. Ellsbury alertly saw what was happening and dashed home easily as McCann stood on first base with his arms raised.

“You don’t see that too often,” Ellsbury said. “It’s just a read that you have to make pretty quick.”

Chapman stared out toward shallow right field, where Frazier, Schumaker and Bruce were practically frozen in disbelief.

“Just one of those things — I thought I was under it and I was not,” Frazier said. “By the

time the ball was coming down it was already too late so, I made a mistake, turned my body the wrong way and, one of those things where I should have caught it.”

Center fielder Billy Hamilton had trouble with the sun earlier, allowing Ellsbury’s seventh-inning fly to fall for a double.

David Robertson (1-2) pitched a perfect ninth. It was New York’s second walk-off win this season and the fifth game-ending hit for McCann — his first since a home run for Atlanta against Houston on May 17, 2011.

The 39-year-old Kuroda gave up three hits and no earned runs over 6 2-3 innings in his 200th major league appearance.

“He was great,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. “Did a wonderful job today.”

After losing their sixth straight road game, a season high, the Reds are 2-5 without injured sluggers Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips.

Cueto threw 112 pitches in five innings, matching his shortest start this season.

“I felt really strong today,” he said through a translator. “I would have kept going even with the amount of pitches I had.”

Frazier won a matchup of All-Stars when he lofted Betances’ full-count pitch into the leftfield corner, just beyond the 318-foot sign.

It was the first home run at Yankee Stadium for Frazier, who grew up about 85 miles away in Toms River, New Jersey. He pumped his fists at home plate and received hearty highfives in the dugout.

Betances has allowed two homers in 58 1-3 innings this season.

“I think we were all a little bit shocked when it happened,” Girardi said.

Moments earlier, Schumaker made a costly baserunning mistake.

He singled to start the inning and, with Frazier at the plate, took off trying to steal second before Betances began his delivery.

The big right-hander stepped off the rubber, and Schumaker was tagged out after a long rundown.

Schumaker, just off the seven-day concussion disabled list, had an RBI double with two outs in the fifth. It was Cincinnati’s only hit in 22 at-bats with runners in scoring position during the series.

“They just outplayed us,” Reds manager Bryan Price said. “Some of the things that happened in the series (were) unfortunate.”

Patriots head to camp with restocked defense

By HOWARD ULMAN, AP Sports Writer FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The Patriots’ defense struggled for much of last season. And that was before it faced the NFL’s best offense in the AFC championship game.

Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos won 26-16 and piled up 507 yards, the most New England allowed in Bill Belichick’s 14 years as coach.

So the Patriots stocked up on players to fix that.

Cornerbacks Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner lead the group of defensive newcomers that includes linebacker James Anderson, end Will Smith and lineman Dominique Easley, their first-round draft choice. Three key defenders — linebacker Jerod Mayo and tackles Vince Wilfork and Tommy Kelly — return from injuries that sidelined them for most of 2013.

All that should improve a defense that gave up the seventh-most yards overall and third-most yards rushing in the league on a team that still managed to go 12-4.

“This year is going to be a little special just because of what I’ve been through and how far I came along” from a torn Achilles tendon, said Wilfork, who starts his 11th training camp with the Patriots on Wednesday.

Young linebackers Dont’a Hightower, entering his third year,

and Jamie Collins, starting his second, improved as the 2013 season progressed.

“He’s blossomed a lot sooner than anybody (expected),” Hightower said of Collins. “He was a lot more mature his first year than some people are in their third year.”

Revis is one of the NFL’s best cornerbacks. Browner is one of the biggest, but must miss the first four games for violating the league’s

McIlroy

Continued from Page 9 sweat this one out a bit. He didn’t play his best, settling for a 1-over 71 that was his highest score of the week. He bogeyed two straight holes on the front side, giving his challengers a glimmer of hope. But it was never really in doubt, his lead never less than two shots.

“I always felt like I had that little bit of a cushion,” McIlroy said.

All along, he had his eyes on a bigger prize.

The Grand Slam.

With his victory at Royal Liverpool, McIlroy became the third-youngest player — behind Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods — to win three of the four majors. Nicklaus, Woods, Ben Hogan, Gary Player and Gene Sarazen are the only players to capture all four, a feat that eluded such greats as Tom Watson, Arnold Palmer and Sam Snead.

Indeed, a pretty exclusive club.

“I just want to be the best golfer that I can be,” McIlroy said.

“I know if I can do that, then trophies like this are within my capability. I’d love to win a lot more and I’m really looking forward to ... next April and trying to complete the career Grand Slam.”

substance abuse policy. They also have cornerback Alfonzo Dennard, a starter last season.

How good can the secondary be?

“The sky’s the limit,” Revis said after minicamp last month. “When we get back in training camp we have to be ready to go. We need much improvement. We do. That includes everyone, including me.”

Some things to watch as the Patriots begin camp:

HAPPY TOGETHER?: Revis, while with the New York Jets in 2012, called Belichick a “jerk.”

Now, it seems, they’ve made up.

“We had a conversation about it and it’s in the past,” Revis said after joining the Patriots.

Since then, he’s seen a more positive side of Belichick.

“I think that’s the biggest thing people don’t understand about Bill,” Revis said. “He’ll ask questions.

He’ll try to get other people’s insights, especially veterans, to see if we have any insight from playing for so many years. Yeah, he’ll sit down and have a conversation with you. I think that’s why he’s so genius at what he does.”

BRADY’S TARGETS: Imagine how great Tom Brady would be if he had a consistent deep threat. In 13 seasons as a starter, he’s had just one — Randy Moss from 2007 until being traded in 2010. Wes Welker caught 672 passes over six seasons, but most were short throws. The only veteran addition is Brandon LaFell, who had a career-high in catches last year with Carolina, just 49.

Wide receivers Aaron Dobson, Kenbrell Thompkins and Josh Boyce are back after last year’s rookie season.

“You’re only a young player for a certain amount of time in the NFL and at that point people are just waiting for you to produce,” Brady said.

Tour de france

Continued from Page 9 feel sorry for them,” he said. “Normally, the break should never have had a chance, but they did. They were really strong guys. ... That must have been really hard.”

With about 12 miles (20 kilometers) left, rain briefly doused the riders, though skies brightened by the end. A series of roundabouts and leg fatigue among the sprinters after the Alpine stages gave an advantage to the breakaway pair until the final seconds.

Nibali kept his main rivals for the Tour title at bay. He leads Spain’s Alejandro Valverde by 4:37 while Romain Bardet of France is third, 4:50 behind. American Tejay van Garderen is fifth, 5:49 back.

Nibali, the leader of Kazakh team Astana, is in good shape to take the yellow jersey when the three-week race ends next Sunday in Paris. Some of his closest rivals have already said the race is now for second place.

The Italian has shown savvy — gaining time on cobblestone patches in Stage 2 — and nearly insurmountable dominance on high climbs. He won Stage 13’s entree into the Alps and was second a day later, also in the snow-capped mountains.

left hand a day earlier and the Dodgers finished without Hanley Ramirez, who was taken out in the ninth — also after getting struck on the left hand.

Gonzalez leads the National League with 38 road RBIs. He missed a chance earlier, flying out with the bases loaded to end the fourth. J.P Howell (2-3) got the last out in the eighth and Kenley Jansen finished for his 28th save in 31 chances.

Rosenthal (1-5) struggled pitching on the third consecutive day after earning saves the first two games. Peter Bourjos’ two-run homer off Kershaw tied it in the sixth.

BLUE JAYS 9, RANGERS 6 TORONTO (AP) — Melky Cabrera hit a tiebreaking homer in the seventh inning, and Toronto beat slumping Texas.

Cabrera drove in three runs and finished 3 for 5, his 13th multi-hit effort in the past 28 games, as the Blue Jays won their first series since sweeping a two-game set against Milwaukee on July 1-2.

Cabrera’s homer came on the third pitch he saw from right-hander Neftali Feliz (0-1), handing Texas its 13th loss in 15 road games. The Rangers have won just four of their past 28 overall and are a major league-worst 39-59. It is the first time Texas is 20 games under .500 since finishing the 2003 season 71-91.

Todd Redmond (1-4) worked one inning for the win.

Toronto sealed it with a three-run eighth against Matt West.

Rangers right-hander Nick Tepesch allowed five runs and nine hits in 4 1-3 innings.

TIGERS 5, INDIANS 1 DETROIT (AP) — Drew Smyly allowed four hits in seven innings, and Torii Hunter hit a two-run homer, helping Detroit beat

Cleveland and avoid a fourgame sweep.

Smyly (6-8) didn’t give up a hit until Yan Gomes’ twoout double in the fifth. The left-hander allowed one run on Gomes’ seventh-inning homer — and two walks with six strikeouts.

Josh Tomlin (5-7) allowed four runs, six hits and a walk over 4 1-3 innings.

The AL Central-leading Tigers (54-41) stopped a fourgame losing streak and increased their lead over Cleveland to 5 1-2 games.

PADRES 2, METS 1 SAN DIEGO (AP) — Odrisamer Despaigne came within four outs of the first no-hitter in San Diego’s 46-year major league history, and the Padres beat the New York Mets on Seth Smith’s run-scoring infield single in the ninth.

Making his fifth major league start, Despaigne didn’t allow a hit until Daniel Murphy doubled to left-center with two outs in the eighth.

San Diego, the only active major league franchise without a no-hitter, was playing its 7,264th regular-season game.

Murphy scored on David Wright’s single to tie the score 1-1.

Vic Black (2-3) walked Carlos Quentin leading off the ninth, and Alexi Amarista bunted, with pinch-runner Cameron Maybin advancing to second and Amarista reaching when the ball went through Black’s legs.

After a double play, Josh Edgin relieved, and then tumbled to the ground when he came off the mound to field Smith’s bouncer.

Joaquin Benoit (4-2) threw a perfect ninth for the win.

New York scored one run in the last 18 innings of the series and has lost two in a row following a 9-2 spurt.

San Diego’s Yasmani

Grandal homered in the fourth off Zack Wheeler ASTROS 11, WHITE SOX 7 CHICAGO (AP) — Matt Dominguez hit a two-run homer and a tiebreaking RBI double, and Houston tied its season high with 17 hits in a win over the Chicago White Sox that prevented a threegame sweep.

RAYS 5, TWINS 3 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — James Loney had two hits and two RBIs, and Chris Archer won consecutive decisions for the first time this season as Tampa Bay topped Minnesota for its fifth straight win.

ANGELS 6, MARINERS 5 ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Grant Green hit a bases-loaded single off Fernando Rodney with two outs in the ninth inning after Albert Pujols tied it with an RBI double, and the Los Angeles Angels pulled out a victory over Seattle.

ATHLETICS 10, ORIOLES 2 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Sonny Gray struck out eight to win his fifth consecutive decision, and Oakland pounded Baltimore.

Gray (11-3) gave up two runs, one earned, two hits and two walks in 6 2-3 innings.

The 24-year-old right-hander hasn’t lost since June 13 at the New York Yankees.

MARLINS 3, GIANTS 2 MIAMI (AP) — NL hits leader Casey McGehee homered for the second time this season, and Miami took the lead for good on a wild pitch

by Tim Lincecum in the seventh inning to beat San Francisco.

PIRATES 5, ROCKIES 3 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Andrew McCutchen hit a tiebreaking single in the seventh inning, Neil Walker followed with a home run, and Pittsburgh overcame a threerun deficit to beat Colorado

for a three-game sweep.

NATIONALS 5, BREWERS 4 WASHINGTON (AP) — Jayson Werth hit a game-winning RBI double in the bottom of the ninth after the Brewers tied it in the top of the inning, and Washington edged Milwaukee.

BRAVES 8, PHILLIES 2 ATLANTA (AP) — Tommy La Stella drove in three runs, and Chris Johnson hit a tworun homer to back Alex Wood and help Atlanta rout Philadelphia.

DIAMONDBACKS 3, CUBS 2 PHOENIX (AP) — Josh Collmenter threw seven sharp innings, Arizona scored on an unusual play in the sixth inning and then completed a threegame sweep of the Chicago Cubs.

WAITING FOR GRONK: When will tight end Rob Gronkowski play a full regular season? He missed five games in 2012 with a broken forearm and nine in 2013 while recovering from forearm and back surgery before tearing ligaments in his right knee. He participated on a limited basis in minicamp but ran hard on the sideline.

Backup Michael Hoomanawanui is primarily a blocker. Fullback James Develin could see time at the position.

“I love being out here with him,” Brady said of Develin. “Whatever role we’ve asked of him he’s done it to the best he could possibly do it.”

DIVISIONAL DOMINANCE: An 11th AFC East title in 12 years seems likely. The Dolphins added running back Knowshon Moreno, the Jets signed wide receiver Eric Decker and running back Chris Johnson, and the Bills hired defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz and chose wide receiver Sammy Watkins with the fourth draft pick. But the Patriots remain the class of the division.

QUIET TIME: Unlike last year, the Patriots start camp without serious distractions. The signing of quarterback Tim Tebow and the arrest of tight end Aaron Hernandez, both last June, took the focus from the field. Tebow is out of football now. Hernandez is charged in three killings in two different cases.

Red Sox

Continued from Page 9 The first scored on Dustin Pedroia’s forceout at second base in the first, Daniel Nava hit a two-run double in the third, and Boston added three in the fourth on David Ross’ two-run homer and Nava’s sacrifice fly.

That was more than enough support for Lester as he keeps building a case for a lucrative contract.

“If these guys are happy with the way I’m throwing and how I’m going about my business, then that’s all I care about,” he said. “The other stuff will take care of itself when the right time comes.”

Boston entered the game in last place in the AL East, percentage points behind Tampa Bay, but won for the seventh time in eight games.

Kansas City went scoreless after losing 2-1 Saturday night.

The Royals have lost nine of 12, are 9-17 since a 10-game winning streak, and have scored less than two runs in four of their last six games. They open a three-game series at the Chicago White Sox on Monday night.

“You basically just shake it off and get right back out there,” designated hitter Billy Butler said. “We faced a tough lefthander today and it doesn’t get any easier. We face Chris Sale tomorrow.”

The Royals put runners at first and second in the first when Eric Hosmer was hit by a pitch with two outs, and Danny Valencia singled. But Alex Gordon flied to left.

Alcides Escobar was left on base after a one-out single in the second, and Lester retired eight consecutive batters before Escobar led off the fifth with a double. He reached third on a one-out groundout, but the threat ended when Lorenzo Cain flied out, leaving him hitless in 22 at bats.

Hosmer singled with one out in the sixth to extend his hitting streak to 16 games. After Valencia struck out, Gordon drew a walk, the first issued by Lester in three starts. But Butler grounded out.

Cain walked leading off the eighth, but Lester finished his outing by getting Omar Infante to ground into a double play before fanning Hosmer.

“Jon Lester did a really nice job of holding us down,” Yost said, “mixed in his curveball effectively, spotted his fastball well and used his cutter really well.”

Brock Holt scored Boston’s first run after he and Nava singled. Nava’s double in the third came after a walk to Ross and a single by Jackie Bradley Jr. In the fourth, Shane Victorino doubled and scored on Ross’ sixth homer. Nava’s sacrifice fly drove in Bradley, who had singled.

NOTES: Boston 1B Mike Napoli had the day off after hitting the go-ahead solo homer in the sixth inning Saturday. ... SS Escobar made an error in each of the three games. ... Jeremy Guthrie (5-8) pitches for Kansas City against Sale (8-1) on Monday night. John Lackey (9-4) takes the mound for Boston against Drew Hutchison (6-8) when the Red Sox start a fourgame series at Toronto.

Annie’s Mailbox

By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

Can’t Handle It Again Dear Annie: My significant other of 20 years is a great guy, and he’s been wonderful to me. Here’s the problem: “Bob” has an 11-year-old autistic grandson. Every time we have taken “Russell” on vacation with us, it hasn’t exactly been relaxing. I am 62 years old and work a difficult full-time job. I’d like a real vacation instead of babysitting a child with special needs. I have offered to take Russell on the weekends, but he says that isn’t good enough.

Here’s the kicker: Russell lives nearby, and Bob can see him anytime all year round, but won’t visit at all. Yet in the past 10 months, Bob has taken several short trips with his friends, mostly to go fishing.

These two weeks are my only vacation, and frankly, I am not up to having Russell the entire time. My daughter says I should be more compassionate and would feel differently if this were her child instead of Bob’s grandson. Am I being selfish? -- Can’t Handle It Again Dear Can’t: No, although we understand why your daughter wants you to be more compassionate. It bothers us that Bob won’t spend time with his grandson unless you are around to take care of the boy. This is unfair to you, making your vacation another “job.” It is also unfair to Russell and his parents, who undoubtedly resent that Grandpa isn’t willing to visit during the year.

Your offer to take Russell on weekends is kind, and we think Bob should take you up on it. So here’s the compromise: You have two weeks of vacation. Spend one week relaxing, and take Russell for the other. If Bob insists on taking him for two weeks, we recommend you spend one week on your own and let Bob learn how to deal with his grandson until you get there. And then take the boy on an occasional weekend so he spends more quality time with his grandfather.

Dear Annie: I had to chuckle when I read the letter from “Fluffy’s Competition,” because my husband told me I loved our Jack Russell terrier more than I did him. My response was that I loved her, but it was a different type of love. She has since died, and we have another Jack Russell, and she is my husband’s little girl. He now knows how much you can love a pet, and it is completely different. Oh, by the way, we just celebrated our 46th anniversary. -- R. Dear R.: We heard from a great many animal lovers. Here’s a short sample: From Florida: I lived the same situation for 18 years with my beloved husband and his cat, Tom-Tom. He loved his cat so much.

For years, they lay side by side, each suffering and dying from cancer. I always said, “If I gave my husband a choice of me or the cat, you know who would have to go. And it would not be the cat!” They lived out their lives together and are together in heaven. My message to the wife is to love the cat as you do your husband. If you have love in your life, you have everything.

Arizona: Wait a minute. This woman knew he had Fluffy when she married him and how he felt about her. Did she think he would get rid of the cat? It seems to me she is the one with the problem.

Has she ever tried to be friends with Fluffy? Perhaps he is spending time in the bathroom with Fluffy because his wife is ignoring her. We have had six cats in our married life, but we loved them all. Perhaps Fluffy needs to be treated like a family member and not as an unwanted guest.

HINTS FROM HELOISE SPICE IT UP Dear Heloise: As I was getting ready for my breakfast of sausage and eggs this morning, my eggs looked so drab with the same old salt and pepper. I looked at my little seasoning jars and decided to sprinkle on some spices that I like the best. What a difference in the taste of the eggs! -- Jean in Ohio The same foods and seasonings can get boring in a hurry! But you knew exactly what to do -- experiment and substitute other favorite spices and seasonings for the regular salt and pepper. I wrote my Heloise’s Seasonings, Sauces and Substitutes pamphlet to help readers spice up their favorite foods with seasoning and sauce recipes! To order one, please send $3 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/SSS, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Take a good look at your spices to make sure they are still fresh. They should have a vibrant color. Loss of color could be an indication of loss of flavor. -- Heloise FRUSTRATING FAUCET Dear Heloise: My faucet started dripping one day, and I couldn’t get it to stop. Of course it was the weekend, and I couldn’t get anyone to come out until the next week. The sound was annoying, and I didn’t want to listen to it all weekend. I remembered a hint of yours I had read once. I tied a string around the faucet and let it fall into the sink. The water ran down the string instead of dripping and didn’t make any noise.

I got some sleep, and the sink was fixed the next week. Thanks!

YOUR HOROSCOPE Contract Bridge

By Jaqueline Bigar

DOG EAT DOUG

Brian Anderson

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, July 21, 2014: This year, just when you think you have everything under control, the unexpected will occur. Your flexibility and willingness to adapt could determine your success or failure. If you are single, someone could enter your life from out of left field. You might decide that this person is too different from you. Know that there is someone else waiting just around the corner. If you are attached, the two of you could decide to make a heartfelt desire a reality. You might share less of your time as a couple with others, as you thrive from time alone together. GEMINI thinks he or she understands you.

ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You could be making an expenditure more difficult than it needs to be.

The other party involved is not likely to back off right now. If you relax and restart this conversation later in the day, you could witness a new and surprising change. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Use the morning to make a point. Sometimes you try to be subtle, and it doesn’t work. Then you might stomp around to make your point clear.

Isn’t there some middle ground that would work better? Deal with a money matter in the evening. Tonight: Balance your checkbook.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Lie low, especially with regard to a money discussion. The final word might not be decided yet, and there could be substantial changes ahead. On the other hand, you will be far more buoyant in the evening. Others will go along with your ideas more easily then.

Tonight: A fun happening.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You hear what your friends say, and you’re likely to incorporate their thoughts into your plans. Take the afternoon off from trying to get a general consensus on what you feel is an important matter. Doing nothing draws very strong results. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Be willing to take a stand. You will need to let your instincts guide you in certain circumstances. Otherwise, you could be subject to a misrepresentation.

The unexpected remains a theme when dealing with others. Understand that everything could change quickly.

Tonight: Join a friend.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH News could come in from a distance. You’ll have a lot of different ideas, but if you pull back and look at the situation from an outside perspective, you will be likely to come to a conclusion that surprises you. Make room for the unexpected. Tonight: Make it a late night.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH An associate will give you conservative yet significant feedback.

What you do with it is up to you. You even might want to sit on this information for a day or so. A call from someone will open doors quickly, which could put you in a different mindset. Tonight: Be present.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Defer to others, and see what develops. You will want to open up a discussion later today. A child or new friend is likely to surprise you. Kick back and enjoy the moment. Let your imagination take you to new heights.

Tonight: Be direct with a partner or loved one.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You’ll start the day in the right frame of mind. Make appointments, decide on your plans and figure out whether a new exercise program will be helpful. A family member could be reactive. Tonight: Listen to others as they share their war stories of the day!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Your creativity will come forward. The most unexpected developments could put you back to square one.

You might need to rethink an important decision. A conversation with someone you see daily will give you considerable insight. Tonight: Hang out with friends.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH It might take a lot for you to get going, but a surprise or unexpected

Cryptoquip

Crosswords

development will energize you. One of the issues around you involves your finances and a change. Do what is best for you.

Listen to news with an open mind. Tonight: Wherever you are, use your imagination.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You could feel as if you have no control over a difficult situation. Lie low, and try to understand what someone wants from you. You suddenly might decide to reverse course.

Expect this decision to trigger some shockwaves. Tonight: Out and about.

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 newspapers 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.
