Council to decide fate of BID

Westfield native ready for debut

By Peter Francis Staff Writer CHESTER – For many people, coming back home can sometimes be difficult after venturing out and settling elsewhere.

For Michelle Joyner, a Los Angeles-based stage and screen actor who hails from Westfield, coming home has always been anything but difficult.

In fact, it’s been welcome.

“I have twin boys who just turned 15, and when they were born, I wanted to come back East so my parents could spend time with my kids,” said Joyner. “I MICHELLE got this little JOYNER cabin in Huntington, so we’ve been coming here every summer for the past 15 years.”

A graduate of Westfield High School in 1979, Joyner’s career in the entertainment industry began shortly thereafter in New York City, where she worked as a model for eight years before moving to LA beginning her career as a thespian.

Now, after a 15-year hiatus, Joyner is preparing to return to the stage with the Chester Theatre Company, a venue she has visited many times but has never performed at.

“I’ve been there many times but, aside from a reading of ‘Jane Eyre’ there last summer, this is my first time on stage there,” she said. “It’s been great for my parents, Connie and Jerry Joyner, who live in Westfield still. It’s really exciting to be performing locally.”

Two cats rescued

By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Two of three cats apparently abandoned at an apartment at Powdermill Village were rescued Thursday when a neighbor became aware of their plight and called police.

Officer John Blascak responded to a 7:10 p.m. call from a resident who said that her neighbor has been gone for about two weeks but she saw a dead cat in the apartment were she said two cats were still alive.

Blascak reports he requested assistance from firefighters who made entry to the apartment.

The animal control officer was notified and she arranged for a representative of the Westfield Homeless Cat Project to respond and take custody of the surviving cats. The remains of the third cat were properly disposed of, Blascak reports.

A representative of the city’s Health Department also responded and Blascak reports the apartment was condemned.

“It takes people a long time to learn the difference between talent and genius, especially ambitious young men and women.”

Rental scam uncovered

By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A city man who threatened to harm himself was arrested after a brief standoff with police Thursday evening.

City police report that officers had been seeking Sergio Miacola, 56, of 9 W. School St., after three complainants reported that they had rented an apartment from him but had not been allowed to move in.

The apartment at 9 West School St. came to the attention of police on June 27 when a resident came to the station to complain that she had had paid the landlord a $880 deposit representing her first month’s rent on June 1 after agreeing to rent the apartment and planning to move in on June 15.

City Hall records show that Sergio and Arlene Miacola own the house where the second floor apartment is located and show that tax bills are sent to the owners there. Other records show that Arlene Miacola died May 5, 2008.

The woman told Officer William Cavanaugh that when she spoke with Sergio Miacola on June 12 he said that the apartment needed to be inspected on June 27 before she could move in. The complainant paid the man an additional $1,300 at that time but he refused to sign a lease.

The woman showed Cavanaugh receipts totaling $2,180 and said that she received a text message from the landlord on June 27 which said that the

apartment had failed the inspection and said that he would contact her on July 1 to discuss the matter.

The prospective tenant told Cavanaugh that Miacola refused to speak with her further saying that he would be out of the state until June 30 and she has not been able to speak with him since.

Cavanaugh reports that when he attempted to call the owner he found his phone had been turned off.

Det. Sgt. Stephen K. Dickinson started to look into the matter and on June 30 went the look for the owner at the house. The owner was not there but Dickinson found another hopeful tenant waiting to speak with Miacola.

Dickinson said that the Holyoke woman told him that she and her and her mother had rented the apartment from Miacola and they had paid him a total of $1,860. She said she had been told on June 27, when she paid him the last installment of their initial payment, to contact him on June 30, after the apartment had been inspected, to get the key and a rental agreement.

She told Dickinson that she had been waiting at the apartment for hours to meet him but he had not arrived.

Dickinson advised her of the apparent scam that in progress and advised her to go to the station to report her experience and she complied.

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The City Council will open its first meeting of the 2015 Fiscal Year tonight as it prepares for summer recess after it deals with a number of lingering issues, such as the dissolution of the Westfield BID and two Fire Department labor contracts it has been asked to approve.

Property owners with in the Business Improvement District petitioned the City Council to dissolve the organization because of a recent change in the state law establishing Business Improvement Districts within the Commonwealth which compels membership of businesses within the district.

Many of the business and property owners seeking to dissolve the BID had made a decision to “opt out” when the BID was established in 2006. The original 1994 state law allowed businesses and property owners the option not to participate in the BID and exempted them from BID dues.

Schools tackle cyber policies

By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – To an untrained eye, a gathering of the Westfield School Committee’s Policy Subcommittee may seem uneventful.

For the past three years though, Diane Mayhew and Bill Duval have composed this small but vital component of the city’s School Committee, and have worked exhaustively to evaluate, reevaluate and bring to the full committee innumerable policies for the district.

“Deciding whether the policies that are in place right now are still viable in today’s world,” said Mayhew, the subcommittee’s current chair, when asked of the most difficult aspect of the subcommittee’s job. “We use the Massachusetts Association of School Committees (MASC) as a reference guide for us. They have online policies and help, you can email them any time with questions about a policy.”

Duval, who taught for 32 years in the Psychology Department at Westfield State University, has served on the subcommittee for the past five years, while See Cyber Policies, Page 3

Free autism seminar slated

By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Many parents of children – and adults themselves – with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) find themselves navigating insurance coverage and Individualized Education Plans (IEP) with little local support and numerous questions.

Autism Speaks’ New England Chapter is reaching out to area families with a free Parent Advocacy Seminar July 21 at Genesis Center, 53 Mill St., at 7 p.m.

A roundtable panel of local experts will address insurance coverage and changes in MassHealth, best practices for prepping for the IEP process, and other services such as occupational therapy, physical therapy, and Applied Behavior Analysis.

Registration is free, but RSVP is required at http://bit.ly/1l3ZQig. Judith Ursitti, CPA, Autism Speaks’ director of state government affairs who works out of the Boston office, will be a featured speaker.

Ursitti spends much of her time traveling the country urging legislators to improve healthcare for people with autism.

“Navigating the healthcare maze for individuals on the spectrum is complicated at best,” said Ursitti.

Ursitti said the seminar will provide an explanation about:

1) What sort of health insurance coverage you should expect, 2) What efforts are in place to improve existing coverage and 3) Where to find information and support.

MassHealth will soon change, and Ursitti can expertly advise individuals with autism and parents of children with ASD. “Efforts are in place to strengthen Medicaid coverage for autism in Massachusetts,” she said. “We will discuss where we are in this process at the meeting.”

Individuals with autism, their caregivers, parents, siblings, friends and providers are those Ursitti believes would benefit from the free program.

Westfield’s Stanley Park is the site of the annual Western New England Walk Now For Autism Speaks, a fundraising and awareness walk that draws thousands. This year’s walk is Sept. 20 and teams have already begun fundraising efforts.

For more information on the walk, or to form or join a team, visit www.walknowforautismspeaks.org/wne.

A free kick-off walk event is set for July 24 at the Children’s Museum at Holyoke from 4:30-7:30 p.m.

This exclusive, sensory-friendly evening, includes a light supper and the opportunity for families to explore the museum after hours and speak directly to walk committee members and Autism Speaks staff. RSVP for

Team Jesse James and the Outlaw Walkers will once again participate in the Western New England Walk Now For Autism Speaks. The walk is set for Sept. 20 at Stanley Park.

Teams can register at www.walknowforautismspeaks.org/ wne. (Photo by Becca & Kat’s Photography) the kick-off at http://events.autismspeaks.org/WNEKO2014.

Autism is a complex neurobiological disorder that impairs an individual’s ability to communicate, form relationships with others and relate to their surroundings. Seventy-three percent of every dollar raised goes back to Autism Speaks’ mission, to change the future for all who struggle with ASD. In March the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released its latest autism prevalence findings and reported that one in 68 children – including one in every 42 boys – is diagnosed with autism.

Odds & Ends Coastal California town sold for undisclosed price HARMONY, Calif. (AP) — A small town midway between Los Angeles and San Francisco on the Pacific Coast Highway has been sold for an undisclosed price.

The San Luis Obispo Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/VwBwR3) the buyers plan to restore the one-block, 2.5-acre town of Harmony.

“We want to recreate the special feeling of time gone by,” Alan Vander Horst said.

“I see this is an opportunity to be part of the history, to be part of something fun and quirky.”

Set in the rolling coastal hills 6 miles south of Cambria, the ranching village dates back to the mid-1800s when the region thrived on cheese and butter production. The Excelsior Cheese Factory, which built the town’s first creamery building, used to produce up to 1,200 pounds of cheese per day. As many as 400 dairymen countywide were members See Town Sold, Page 8

Cyber Policies Mayhew, the mother of three children who went through Westfield public schools, has served on the subcommittee for the past three years.

The two have alternated the chairmanship every two years as per subcommittee rules, and travel together to various MASC workshops to keep their eyes trained for policies that both work and need revising.

Mayhew added that the subcomittee receives lots of help and input, such as when new health policies come up.

In addition to the template provided by the MASC, the other obvious guide for the subcommittee’s policy formation is the law of the land.

“Changes in Massachusetts Law greatly affect our policies.” said Mayhew, citing the district’s sex discrimination policy. “We have had to change the wording a few times on this one to now show gender identity, which is big across a few of our policies.

As committee members we have to keep up on these changes to make sure we are following Mass. general laws.”

She added that MASC has all the latest changes and are very good in making sure that all the districts in the Commonwealth are updated.

“However, it is up to the individual committees to adopt the new changes or make amendments to their existing policies.” Mayhew said.

“You can’t get too crazy with policy,” she said, mentioning one policy that she and Duval have taken out of the book three times. “But honestly, can you actually cover everything? Policy is never done. It’s an open book, and theres always things that will come up and need to be changed.”

At the moment, bullying and cyber-bullying policies are of particular interest to Mayhew and Duval. “(Cyber-bullying) is a huge one,” Mayhew said. “We’re now not aiming at just student-to-student harrassment.”

Chair Diane Mayhew (left) and Dr. Bill Duval make up the Westfield School Committee’s Policy Subcommittee. (Photo by Peter Francis) “For example, a kid waiting for the school bus, where he’s waiting is school territory. So if a neighbor is yelling something at that kid, that’s bullying. It’s not just school staff – it can be anybody else,” said Duval. “The thing is, you make a policy thinking it’s going to cover all the things you think you’re going to cover, and inevitably something comes up.”

“It’s teachers and custodians and it’s anybody walking down the hallway,” Mayhew added, referencing a situation relayed to her by North Middle School Principal Chris Rogers about bullying that occurred in front of the school.

“He couldn’t do anything because the bullying happened just far enough off the property where he had to call the police,” she said, adding that district policy covers field trips in which students travel on a bus as well.

“It’s something thats been going on for a long time.

Theres nothing new about more or less bullying in schools today,” said Westfield High School Principal Jonathan Carter. “What we see is that there is a lot more education, prevention and

support within the school system, more than ever.”

Carter, who served as principal at three high schools in Springfield and Holyoke prior to arriving in Westfield, said that the amount of bullying occurring at WHS is no worse or better than at those schools.

“Anytime you get a lot of people in a large building, you’re going to have relationships, people they don’t get along with,” he said.

“Technology has escalated it to a whole new level, where rather than do it face to face, someone can do it from the comfort of their home and post something for the world to see.”

Carter does look on the bright side, and said that technology has made it easier for authorities to address cyberbullying.

“The district has done a great job at addressing it.

Every school in the district has a protocol that we follow with regards to bullying,” he said, referencing robust state legislation that has been implemented to deal with bullying. “There’s a lot of best practices and legislation out there to help schools.”

When asked what issues they believe are on the cusp

of becoming hot-button for the subcommittee, Duval and Mayhew agree that updating the district’s social networking policy is imperative.

“It’s going to be staff, which includes any staff in the building.” Mayhew said, citing the possibility of district employees ‘befriending’ students online, which she refers to as a ‘big no-no.’

Duval added that the policies discussed by the subcommittee are the jurisdiction of the full committee.

“We have to bring everything we did today before the school committee and they have to understand what they’re voting on,” he said.

“And we have to listen to any changes they may want to make.”

“But that’s why the (school) committee is good – we have our tech guys, we have our finance guys, we have our policy people. We’re very well rounded as a whole.”

Mayhew said, adding that she hopes the district’s policies will be up on the school department’s website by the beginning of next year.

“We want to make available to as many people as possible.” summarized Duval.

Those owners and businessmen feel they were “impressed” into the BID, and its dues, when the law was changed in 2012.

The City Council conducted a public hearing at its June 5 session at which both opponents and proponents spoke, then referred the petition to its Government Relations Commission which met on June 17th to discuss the merits of both maintaining the BID and of dissolving it.

The Governmental Relations Committee members cited that state law change making BID membership compulsory as the reason for their vote to give the full City Council a recommendation to disband the organization. The full City Council is slatted to decide the issue tonight.

The City Council has twice deferred action of the two Fire Department labor contracts recently approved by both sides because it is demand, under state law, the financial information for the first year of the contract packages.

The council did act at the special June 30 session to approve a contract of the Westfield Professional Employee Association after several members appeared before the council to explain the financial impacts themselves.

The cost of the new contract, which has a start date of Jan. 1, 2014, is $21,000 for the 34 association members, all department heads and assistant department heads, covered in the pact. The department heads are receiving a $750 payment for the past six months, while the assistant supervisors, who account for 65 percent of the membership, will receive $500.

Those funds were taken out of money in the 2014 fiscal year budget, so there was no net cost to the city.

The council members agreed to table the two Fire Department packages with the hope that they will be provided similar financial information for the meeting tonight.

Report: NSA’s net caught millions WASHINGTON (AP) — When the U.S. National Security Agency intercepted the online accounts of legally targeted foreigners over a four-year period it also collected the conversations of nine times as many ordinary Internet users, both Americans and non-Americans, according to a probe by The Washington Post.

Nearly half of those surveillance files contained names, email addresses or other details that the NSA marked as belonging to U.S. citizens or residents, the Post reported in a story posted on its website Saturday night. While the federal agency tried to protect their privacy by masking more than 65,000 such references to individuals, the newspaper said it found nearly 900 additional email addresses that could be strongly linked to U.S. citizens or residents.

At the same time, the intercepted messages contained material of considerable intelligence value, the Post reported, such as information about a secret overseas nuclear project, doubledealing by an ostensible ally, a military calamity that befell an unfriendly power, and the identities of aggressive intruders into U.S. computer networks.

As an example, the newspaper said the files showed that months of tracking communications across dozens of alias accounts led directly to the capture in 2011 of a Pakistan-based bomb builder suspected in a 2002 terrorist bombing in Bali.

The Post said it was withholding other examples, at the request of the CIA, that would compromise ongoing investigations.

The material reviewed by the Post included roughly 160,000 intercepted e-mail and instant-message conversations, some of them hundreds of pages long, and 7,900 documents taken from more than 11,000 online accounts. It spanned President Barack Obama’s first term, 2009 to 2012, and was provided to the Post by former NSA analyst Edward Snowden.

The daily lives of more than 10,000 account holders who were not targeted were catalogued and recorded, the Post reported. The newspaper described that material as telling “stories of love and heartbreak, illicit sexual liaisons, mental-health crises, political and religious conversions, financial anxieties and disappointed hopes.” The material collected included more than 5,000 private photos, the paper said.

The cache Snowden provided to the newspaper came from domestic NSA operations under the broad authority granted by Congress in 2008 with amendments to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, according to the Post.

By law, the NSA may “target” only foreign nationals located overseas unless it obtains a warrant based on probable cause from a special surveillance court, the Post said. “Incidental collection” of third-party communications is inevitable in many forms of surveillance, according to the newspaper.

In the case of the material Snowden provided, those in an online chat room visited by a target or merely reading the discussion were included in the data sweep, as were hundreds of people using a computer server whose Internet protocol was targeted.

Scammers, hackers and spies hit campaign trail

By Byron Tau Politico.com Political campaigns are hotbeds of criminal activity and mischief — just not in the way you think.

The fly-by-night, pressure-cooker and skinflint environment of political campaigns makes them uniquely vulnerable to hackers, criminals and ideological foes, campaign operatives and cybersecurity experts say.

At the same time, a top-notch data mining operation is essential to modern political operations, and candidates and parties are collecting and keeping more personal information on every voter than ever before.

Recent years have seen more and more mischief in cyber-campaign land. Data breaches and misplaced donor or voter information can fall into the wrong hands. Foreign intelligence services have reportedly found their way into campaign servers. Hackers looking to embarrass politicians have altered campaign websites.

And credit card scammers have found that making small donations are a great way to test stolen MasterCard and Visa numbers. ”If the U.S. government, the Chamber of Commerce, Target and others who presumably spend millions or even billions on cybersecurity measures still have to contend with security breaches, hacks and so on every so often, it really shouldn’t surprise anyone to know that political campaigns are vulnerable to exactly the same kind of threat,” said Liz Mair, a digital consultant and former online communications director at the Republican National Committee.

But given campaigns aren’t built for the long-haul and the focus is on winning, security takes a back seat.

“The lack of appropriate cybersecurity measures may be because some consultants just don’t prioritize it when they’re facing the hard deadline of election day and the only real objectives are robust fundraising and supporter engagement,” Mair said. And digital experts may only be concerned about making their security systems — and their contracts — last to Election Day — she added, leaving them vulnerable once the campaigns are over.

But Scott Goodstein, the CEO of the digital firm Revolution Messaging and a former digital staffer on Obama’s 2008 campaign, said the digital world is simply a new wrinkle on an old problem.

“Campaigns have always had the problem of data security,” he said.

A volunteer could come in the front door and take your research binder, Goodstein suggested. Confidential documents or donor information written on paper frequently get left behind.

Unscrupulous volunteers could easily steal credit card information — even when it’s written on paper.

“Security is not just a let’s-blame-the-Internet problem,” Goodstein said.

Here are some of the biggest security risks faced by campaigns today: PERSONAL INFO GONE MISSING The biggest known personal data breach in politics came in 2009, when the organization Wikileaks posted credit card information from 4,700 of Norm Coleman’s online donors. At the time, Coleman was battling Al Franken in a tight recount and was seeking donations to keep the legal battle alive, but his campaign had to instead call for donors to cancel their credit cards.

Several campaigns or vendors have also inadvertently exposed user or voter information — from personal home addresses to credit card data.

In late May, some campaigns using of NationBuilder, a political web hosting platform, inadvertently exposed information like the home address and phone number of the supporters of candidate to anyone who had the supporter’s email address, the Calgary Herald first reported.

But screenshots provided by a digital operative show that the same problem affected several U.S.-based websites using the NationBuilder platform.

NationBuilder closed the loophole, saying in a blogpost: “We have decided not to support the previous functionality, and we apologize if you were relying upon that.”

The company declined to talk further about user privacy or data security.

Consultants say that most campaigns are aware of their vulnerabilities — even if they don’t always have the resources they wish they could dedicate to security. “Whether you’re a first-time challenger or a long-term incumbent, you sort of realize that this is the new reality and you need to be up to speed on it,” said Democratic consultant Taryn Rosenkranz, founder & CEO of New Blue Interactive.

CREDIT CARD SCAMMERS Political campaigns at all levels have emerged as a useful tool for credit card scammers.

When credit card information is stolen, it’s often packaged and sold in bulk with dozens or hundreds of other stolen cards numbers. Those sellers and buyers need a way to test if the victim is aware of the theft and has taken steps to deactivated the card. Enter political campaigns.

Unlike using a commercial service, no shipping address needs to be entered and no goods need to change hands in a donation to a political candidate. Thieves simply give a small donation of a few dollars as a test to see if a consumer has reported the card as stole.

This isn’t the fault of campaigns (which eventually must refund the fraudulent donations after a consumer realizes his or her credit card has been compromised). The problem is widespread and an open secret in tech politics circles yet largely unreported. In one of the only instances of the scam becoming a public embarrassment,

Chris Murphy’s Senate campaign acknowledged that its donation system was used to test stolen cards in 2012.

The root of the problem is that political campaigns are often much less discerning about accepting credit cards than the private sector.

Most corporations require the three or four digit number on the back of the card, also called a CVV number — something that many thieves don’t have if they don’t have the physical card.

Political campaigns, on the other hand, often do not require that step. A 2012 report by the conservative Government Accountability Institute found that nearly 50 percent of members of Congress who accepted online donations did not require CVV number. Barack Obama’s campaigns in 2008 and 2012 also did not require the number, while Mitt Romney’s 2012 campaign did.

For campaigns, the goal is to make it as easy as possible to donate, and they often do not want to discourage elderly or tech illiterate voters from giving.

“You get pressure to book all the donations that you can,” said GOP digital strategist Patrick Ruffini, who also runs the firm Engage. “You don’t want donors to feel frustrated and walk away because they’re confused about which address they used to open a credit card.”

HACKING AND WEBSITE ATTACKS Attacks against the web infrastructure of a campaign are as old as digital politics themselves. In 1999, George W. Bush’s campaign website georgewbush.com was immediately hacked after a major redesign. Pranksters replaced his photo with a hammer and sickle and called for an “October revolution.”

But a hacking episode or a website attack is more than a headache. With hundreds of dollars or more of grassroots donations flowing through the web, any downtime can limit fundraising and cost a campaign real money in a sprint to election day.

“In October, to have a presidential site down for an hour would be a loss of over $200,000” said Zac Moffatt, who served as digital director for Mitt Romney and runs the firm Targeted Victory. “If it’s down for six, that’s more than a million.”

In late May, NationBuilder experienced sustained “denial of service attacks” directed at a British political party that used the service. But the attacks knocked out political websites across the United States as well — including the sites for some candidates in Georgia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Arkansas on the eve of their primaries. ”NationBuilder exists to provide the infrastructure for organizing – and that infrastructure must withstand any attacks,” NationBuilder founder and CEO Jim Gilliam said in a contrite blogpost (the company declined to comment directly for this story). “And this week, we failed. We are deeply sorry.”

And hackings — breaking into a secure, internal system — too can cause problems. One of Barack Obama’s social media accounts was compromised earlier this year by Syrian hackers — causing the president’s Twitter and Facebook accounts to start linking to proregime propaganda.

Obama’s been targeted before — his website was briefly hacked in 2011, inviting supporters to attend events hosted by “Commy Obama.” John McCain’s MySpace page was compromised in 2007 when pranksters posted a fake letter where McCain endorsed gay marriage, particularly “between two passionate females.”

FOREIGN SPYING High-level digital staffers in both the Romney and Obama 2012 campaign operations said that the threats of snooping by foreign governments weighed on them as they built their out their tech infrastructure.

U.S. intelligence officials reported last year that they had traced a sophisticated attack on the email systems of the 2008 Obama and John McCain campaigns. According to an NBC News report, Chinese intelligence operatives were trying to export internal data from both campaigns— looking for any information about the candidates positions on China- issues.

“Based on everything I know, this was a case of political cyberespionage by the Chinese government against the two American political parties,” former director of national intelligence Dennis Blair told NBC. “They were looking for positions on China, surprises that might be rolled out by campaigns against China.”

An Obama engineer told Time in 2013 that many of the failed attempts to break into the campaign’s email accounts were sophisticated and “consistent with the work of foreign nation states.”

In 2012, both presidential campaigns were much more aware of the threats to digital infrastructure — as were federal law enforcement agencies.

According to both Obama and Romney digital staffers, the Secret Service consulted on campaign IT infrastructure and helped notify both campaigns about cyberthreats and potential hacking attempts. A Secret Service spokesman confirmed the consulting and threat monitoring, but declined to elaborate or give any details.

Romney did not get any data consulting services during the primaries, but once physical protection was assigned to the presumptive nominee, digital staffers started getting updates from the Service Service about potential hacking and snooping attempts..

The Obama digital team also had extensive contact with the Secret Service — especially given the sensitivities of having a sitting chief executive running for re-election and the need to keep senior campaign staffers in the loop on the intricate details and logistics of the president’s schedule.

“They saw us as terrifying,” said one top Obama campaign staffer about the Secret Service’s attitude towards the campaign’s digital staff and information technology infrastructure.

Rental Scam

Continued from Page 1

The next day, when Dickinson again went to the house looking for Miacola, he again encountered a hopeful tenant with a similar tale.

The West Springfield man said that he had paid Miacola a total of $2,625 for his first and last month’s rent and a security deposit and had planned to move in on June 27.

He said that when he called Miacola on that day the man said that the apartment was not ready and said that he could move in on July 1.

The man told Dickinson the landlord was not there when he arrived to move in and when he called Miacola’s cellphone a recording said that the customer was no longer available.

Dickinson advised him to go to the police station to file a report.

Dickinson said that he had tried to make contact with Miacola “just to get his side of the story” but said “every time I went back I found another victim.”

A fourth victim was discovered after detectives posted a notice about the scam on Facebook.

Dickinson said that while looking for Miacola he found indications that the man had been intentionally hiding and had taken to parking his vehicle some distance from his house and entering via a back door.

He said that on Thursday evening the man’s vehicle was found to be parked on Franklin Street so, after stationing an officer to keep an eye on the car, he and other officers went to the house where there was no answer at any of the doors.

He said that he saw that a pool ladder had been placed against the house leading to a partially open window and when Det. James Renaudette looked inside he saw that the room appeared to have been ransacked.

He also heard sounds which indicated someone was inside although there was still no response to officers knocking and calling out at the various doors to the house.

The officer then entered the house and found Miacola on the kitchen floor, armed with a knife and threatening to kill himself.

Dickinson said that the man had positioned himself behind a kitchen counter in a constricted space where it was difficult to approach him quickly and was holding the knife to his chest.

He said that he was able to convince Miacola to put the knife down but, as soon as an officer moved, he picked up the knife and again threatened to harm himself.

Dickinson said that he consulted with another officer in the kitchen and told him that he would again persuade Miacola to put down the knife. He instructed the officer to shoot Miacola with his Taser as soon as he relinquished the knife.

Dickinson was able to again convince Miacola put he knife on the floor next to him and, after the officer fired his Taser, a detective moved in and took custody of the weapon.

At the station, Miacola was interviewed and confessed to his crimes explaining that he has a gambling problem.

“He knew he did things wrong”, Dickinson said, and said that the man also identified a fourth victim who had already contacted detectives.

Her experience was similar to what the other victims reported except she said that Miacola had told her that she could not move in on the originally scheduled date, June 12, because a pipe had burst in the bathroom.

She said that she became suspicious when she attempted to arrange for cable television service and was told that a service visit was already scheduled under another name.

She said that she confronted Miacola about the cable installation issue and was unsatisfied with his explanations so she demanded he

return the $2,625 she had paid him. She said that he agreed to return the money she had paid him in cash but did not, later claiming to have been involved in a terrible accident.

The woman said that she reported the incident to the Attorney General’s office and initiated a civil action in housing court.

Dickinson asked that any additional victims who have been victimized by Miacola report their experience to police by calling 562 5411.

Miacola was arrested for larceny of property valued mote than $250 by false pretenses and three charges of larceny of property valued more than $250 by a single scheme. Bail was set at $2,000 and he was held at the police station pending arraignment in Westfield District Court today.

Because of his actions at the time of his arrest, an officer was detailed to maintain a suicide prevention vigil while he is in police custody.

It was in the City of Angels where Joyner caught her first glimpse of the show.

“I was very taken with the play. I thought it was terrific, and my husband (director Robert Egan) and I were looking for something to do in Chester,” she said, adding that the play’s small, two-person format would be ideal for the Chester venue. “It was a great part for me and a great part for Dan (Riordan).”

Joyner, whose acting credits included feature films such as 1993′s “Cliffhanger” which starred Sylvester Stallone, and 1995′s “Outbreak” with Dustin Hoffman, along with appearances in over 40 soap operas and TV shows, got the acting itch again when her kids reached middle school.

“It’s been a long hiatus from acting, but it’s been an even longer hiatus from theatre,” she said before describing the differences between the stage and the silver screen. “It’s very different. When you’re doing a play, you have so much more time to delve into the character and really examine the intention of the playwright. When you’re doing a movie, you barely have rehearsal.”

When asked to describe her character in the performance, Joyner explains Emma with an intense exuberance, the kind that only a seasoned actor can muster.

“She’s very strong. The play is very emotional, very touching and funny,” she explained. “But within the comedy, there is a lot of pathos and there is a tragic element between these two people, who love each other but can’t really find a way to be together.”

Joyner explains that much of the play’s drama stems from a “problem” she needs to discuss with her ex-husband, with whom she also has a child.

“It’s very real and relatable as a woman,” she added. “It’s a great part and I’m thrilled to be playing it. I really hope the audiences are going to like it. I’m confident they will, but until you get in front of an audience, you just don’t know.”

Joyner she expects her parents will be there on opening night with family in tow, including her brother, who is flying in from Colorado for the performance.

Backlash stirs in US against foreign worker visas

By LAURAWIDES-MUNOZ, PAUL WISEMAN Associated Press Kelly Parker was thrilled when she landed her dream job in 2012 providing tech support for HarleyDavidson’s Tomahawk, Wisconsin, plants. The divorced mother of three hoped it was the beginning of a new career with the motorcycle company.

The dream didn’t last long.

Parker claims she was laid off one year later after she trained her replacement, a newly arrived worker from India. Now she has joined a federal lawsuit alleging the global staffing firm that ran Harley-Davidson’s tech support discriminated against American workers — in part by replacing them with temporary workers from South Asia.

The firm, India-based Infosys Ltd., denies wrongdoing and contends, as many companies do, that it has faced a shortage of talent and specialized skill sets in the U.S. Like other firms, Infosys wants Congress to allow even more of these temporary workers.

But amid calls for expanding the nation’s so-called H-1B visa program, there is growing pushback from Americans who argue the program has been hijacked by staffing companies that import cheaper, lower-level workers to replace more expensive U.S. employees — or keep them from getting hired in the first place.

“It’s getting pretty frustrating when you can’t compete on salary for a skilled job,” said Rich Hajinlian, a veteran computer programmer from the Boston area. “You hear references all the time that these big companies ... can’t find skilled workers. I am a skilled worker.”

Hajinlian, 56, who develops his own web applications on the side, said he applied for a job in April through a headhunter and that the potential client appeared interested, scheduling a longer interview.

Then, said Hajinlian, the headhunter called back and said the client had gone with an H-1B worker whose annual salary was about $10,000 less.

“I didn’t even get a chance to negotiate down,” he said.

The H-1B program allows employers to temporarily hire workers in specialty occupations.

The government issues up to 85,000 H-1B visas to businesses every year, and recipients can stay up to six years. Although no one tracks exactly how many H-1B holders are in the U.S., experts estimate there are at least 600,000 at any one time. Skilled

guest workers can also come in on other types of visas.

An immigration bill passed in the U.S. Senate last year would have increased the number of annually available H-1B visas to 180,000 while raising fees and increasing oversight, although language was removed that would have required all companies to consider qualified U.S. workers before foreign workers are hired.

The House never acted on the measure. With immigration reform considered dead this year in Congress, President Barack Obama last week declared he will use executive actions to address some changes. It is not known whether the H-1B program will be on the agenda.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is among the highprofile executives pushing for more H-1Bs. The argument has long been that there aren’t enough qualified American workers to fill certain jobs, especially in science, engineering and technology.

Advocates also assert that some visa holders will stay and become entrepreneurs.

Critics say there is no acrossthe-board shortage of American tech workers, and that if there were, wages would be rising rapidly. Instead, wage gains for software developers have been modest, while wages have fallen for programmers.

The liberal Economic Policy Institute reported last year that only half of U.S. college graduates in science, engineering and technology found jobs in those fields and that at least one third of IT jobs were going to foreign guest workers.

The top users of H-1B visas aren’t even tech companies like Google and Facebook. Eight of the 10 biggest H1-B users last year were outsourcing firms that hire out thousands of mostly lower- and mid-level tech workers to corporate clients, according to an analysis of federal data by Ron Hira, an associate professor of public policy at Rochester Institute of Technology. The top 10 firms accounted for about a third of the H-1Bs allotted last year.

The debate over whether foreign workers are taking jobs isn’t new, but for years it centered on low-wage sectors like agriculture and construction. The highskilled visas have thrust a new sector of American workers into the fray: the middle class.

Last month, three tech advocacy groups launched a labor boy-

cott against Infosys, IBM and the global staffing and consulting company ManpowerGroup, citing a “pattern of excluding U.S. workers from job openings on U.S soil.”

They say Manpower, for example, last year posted U.S. job openings in India but not in the United States.

“We have a shortage in the industry all right — a shortage of fair and ethical recruiting and hiring,” said Donna Conroy, director of Bright Future Jobs, a group of tech professionals fighting to end what it calls “discriminatory hiring that is blocking us ... from competing for jobs we are qualified to do.”

“U.S. workers should have the freedom to compete first for job openings,” Conroy said.

Infosys spokesman Paul de Lara responded that the firm encourages “diversity recruitment,” while spokesman Doug Shelton said IBM considers all qualified candidates “without regard to citizenship and immigration status.” Manpower issued a statement saying it “adopts the highest ethical standards and complies with all applicable laws and regulations when hiring individuals.”

Much of the backlash against the H-1B and other visa programs can be traced to whistleblower Jay Palmer, a former Infosys employee. In 2011, Palmer supplied federal investigators with information that helped lead to Infosys paying a record $34 million settlement last year.

Prosecutors had accused the company of circumventing the law by bringing in lower-paid workers on short-term executive business visas instead of using H-1B visas.

Last year, IBM paid $44,000 to the U.S. Justice Department to settle allegations its job postings expressed a preference for foreign workers. And a September trial is set against executives at the staffing company Dibon Solutions, accused of illegally bringing in foreign workers on H-1B visas without having jobs for them — a practice known as “benching.”

In court papers, Parker claims that she was given positive reviews by supervisors, including at Infosys, which she maintains oversaw her work and the decision to let her go. The only complaint: Her desk was messy and she’d once been late.

Neither Parker nor other workers involved in similar lawsuits and contacted by The Associated Press would discuss their cases.

Five full years after a devastating recession officially ended, the economy is finally showing the vigor that Americans have long awaited. In June 2014, employers added 288,000 jobs, reducing the unemployment rate to 6.1 percent, the lowest since September 2008. (AP Photo/Richard Drew, File)

What’s making U.S. economy a world beater? 5 factors

By PAUL WISEMAN AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — How does the U.S. economy do it?

Europe is floundering. China faces slower growth. Japan is struggling to sustain tentative gains.

Yet the U.S. job market is humming, and the pace of economic growth is steadily rising. Five full years after a devastating recession officially ended, the economy is finally showing the vigor that Americans have long awaited.

Last month, employers added 288,000 jobs and helped reduce the unemployment rate to 6.1 percent, the lowest since September 2008. June capped a fivemonth stretch of 200,000-plus job gains — the first in nearly 15 years.

After having shrunk at a 2.9 percent annual rate from January through March — largely because of a brutal winter — the U.S. economy is expected to grow at a healthy 3 percent pace the rest of the year.

Here are five reasons the United States is outpacing other major economies: AN AGGRESSIVE CENTRAL BANK “The Federal Reserve acted sooner and more aggressively than other central banks in keeping rates low,” says Bernard Baumohl, chief global economist at the Economic Outlook Group.

In December 2008, the Fed slashed short-term interest rates to near zero and has kept them there. Ultra-low loan rates have made it easier for individuals and businesses to borrow and spend. The Fed also launched three bond-buying programs meant to reduce long-term rates.

By contrast, the European Central Bank has been slower to respond to signs of economic distress among the 18 nations that share the euro currency. The ECB actually raised rates in 2011 — the same year the eurozone sank back into recession.

It’s worth keeping in mind that the Fed has two mandates: To keep prices stable and to maximize employment. The ECB has just one mandate: To guard against high inflation. The Fed was led during and after the Great Recession by Ben Bernanke, a student of the Great Depression who was determined to avoid a repeat of the 1930s’ economic collapse.

Janet Yellen, who succeeded Bernanke as Fed chair this year, has continued his emphasis on nursing the U.S. economy back to health after the recession of 20072009 with the help of historically low rates.

STRONGER BANKS The United States moved faster than Europe to restore its banks’ health after the financial crisis of 2008-2009. The U.S. government bailed out the financial system and subjected big banks to stress tests in 2009 to reveal their financial strength.

By showing the banks to be surprisingly healthy, the stress tests helped restore confidence in the U.S. financial system.

Banks gradually started lending again.

European banks are only now undergoing stress tests, and the results won’t be out until fall. In the meantime, Europe’s banks lack confidence. They fear that other banks are holding too many bad loans and

that Europe is vulnerable to another crisis.

So they aren’t lending much.

In the United States, overall bank lending is up nearly 4 percent in the past year.

Lending to business has jumped 10 percent.

In the eurozone, lending has dropped 3.7 percent overall, according to figures from the Institute of International Finance.

Lending to business is off 2.5 percent.

(The U.S. figures are for the year ending in mid-June; the European figures are from May.) A MORE FLEXIBLE ECONOMY Economists say Japan and Europe need to undertake reforms to make their economies more flexible — more, in other words, like America’s.

Europe needs to lift wage restrictions that prevent employers from cutting pay (rather than eliminating jobs) when times are bad. It could also rethink welfare and retirement programs that discourage people from working and dismantle policies that protect favored businesses and block innovative newcomers, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development has argued.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has proposed reforms meant to make the Japanese economy more competitive. He wants to expand child care so more women can work, replace small inefficient farms with more large-scale commercial farms and allow more foreign migrant workers to fill labor shortages in areas such as nursing and construction.

Yet his proposals face fierce opposition.

“Europe and Japan remain less wellpositioned for durable long-term growth, as they have only recently begun to tackle their deep-rooted structural problems, and a lot remains to be done,” says Eswar Prasad, a professor of trade policy at Cornell University.

China is struggling to manage a transition from an economy based on exports and often wasteful investment in real estate and factories to a sturdier but likely slower-growing economy based on more consumer spending.

LESS BUDGET-CUTTING Weighed down by debt, many European countries took an ax to swelling budget deficits. They slashed pension benefits, raised taxes and cut civil servants’ wages.

The cuts devastated several European economies. They led to 27 percent unemployment in Greece, 14 percent in Portugal and 25 percent in Spain. The United States has done some budget cutting, too, and raised taxes. But U.S. austerity hasn’t been anywhere near as harsh.

A ROARING STOCK MARKET The Fed’s easy-money policies ignited a world-beating U.S. stock market rally.

Over the past five years, U.S. stocks have easily outpaced shares in Europe, Japan and Hong Kong. That was one of Bernanke’s goals in lowering rates. He figured that miserly fixed-income rates would nudge investors into stocks in search of higher returns. Higher stock prices would then make Americans feel more confident and more willing to spend — the so-called wealth effect.

Most economists agree it’s worked.

Town Sold Continued from Page 2 of the Harmony Valley Creamery Association.

The town was once famous for its “Doo Dah” parade. With nowhere to go in the one-block burg, the entries stayed in place while spectators circled the parade.

A Maine Coon cat was once proclaimed to be town mayor. More recently, Harmony is known for its listed population, perpetually consistent at 18.

A Los Angeles man whose family

owned the town for 17 years said he couldn’t invest the time and money it would take to keep Harmony the rustic artists’ community it has become.

Vander Horst, who is a member of a three-generation dairying family, says he understands the history his family wants to preserve.

The town manager hopes the post office, which opened in 1914 and shut in 2008, might even reopen.

Post 124, Plasse pick up wins

By Peter Francis Staff Writer AGAWAM – It was an interesting afternoon of baseball for Westfield Post 124, as the squad picked up two victories, a forfeit win over West Springfield and a 12-8 win over Post 185 of Agawam.

The latter win, a “not very pretty” slugfest according to Post 124 coach Don Irzyk, saw Westfield fall behind 5-0 in the first few frames before 124′s bats came alive.

Pitcher Matt Plasse was able to stop the bleeding of the early innings to enable Westfield’s offense to catch up and take the lead. Plasse ended up throwing well over 100 pitches in six innings of work.

“It was pretty much a team effort all the way through,” said Irzyk of his team’s perfor-

Matt Plasse

mance. “Matt threw a ton of pitches, probably 130. There were a lot of tough luck runs, but he still picked up the win and that’s key. You can’t knock it.”

Irzyk also praised the efforts of first baseman Brent Houle, who registered several hits on the day and third baseman Connor Sas, who picked up multiple RBI’s.

Catcher Cam Robataille, who reinjured his hamstring during the contest, was replaced by Sam Blake, who filled in admirably and collected several key hits of his own.

“I don’t know what we had for hits, but it was definitely double digits, 15 or 16 hits,” Irzyk said.

Plasse improved to 4-0 on the season, but joined his coach in summarizing last night’s game.

Orioles blow lead, beat Sox in 12 innings

By JIMMY GOLEN AP Sports Writer BOSTON (AP) — Buck Showalter’s bullpen had been depleted and Baltimore’s five-run lead had disappeared.

Then, as they started their 30th inning in a 30-hour span, the AL East-leading Orioles pulled out another victory.

“That’s the kind of game that the good teams win,” Showalter said after the Orioles beat Boston 7-6 in 12 innings Sunday. “It’s so easy to say, ‘Boy, it wasn’t meant to be today,’ instead of making it happen.”

A day after a day-night doubleheader that already taxed his pitching staff, Showalter watched his bullpen give up five runs in the seventh to force extra innings. In the 12th, David Lough hit a leadoff triple and scored on J.J. Hardy’s single to give Baltimore its sixth win in seven games.

“A leadoff triple like that, especially in the 12th inning, it’s good to see,” said Brad Brach, who earned the victory with three innings of scoreless relief. “I was definitely relieved.”

Brach (4-0) allowed one hit and one walk while striking out four, and Zach Britton got the last three outs for his 14th save. Showalter said first baseman Chris Davis, who has one pitching appearance in his career, was next if the Orioles hadn’t scored in the top of the 12th.

“I have been out of it for like 2 1/2 hours,” Orioles starter Kevin Gausman said. “Just walking around, chugging water, trying to get something going — anything I could do to get us to score some runs.”

Edward Mujica (2-4) worked a scoreless 11th before Lough lined a triple to the center field wall leading off the 12th. The next batter, Hardy, bounced one through the left side of the infield to give the Orioles the lead.

Hardy and Nelson Cruz each had three hits for Baltimore.

Cruz had five hits Saturday in the second game of a day-

David Ortiz had four hits and Dustin Pedroia added three for Boston, which trailed 6-1 before scoring five runs in the seventh to tie it. Ortiz lined the ball to the left-field corner with one out in the 12th, but Lough threw him out trying to stretch it into a double.

“He was digging hard right out of the batter’s box,” Red Sox manager John Farrell said. “The ball caroms right back to Lough and he throws a strike to second base. I’m not going to fault him for an aggressive effort. He gave everything he had trying to stretch that base hit to a double.”

The Red Sox have lost five of six and fallen a season-worst 10 games below .500. Boston center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. had two hits, threw out a runner at the plate and made a leaping catch to end the top of the ninth.

The Orioles scored in the fourth against Jake Peavy after Cruz led off with a double and scored when third baseman Xander Bogaerts fielded Delmon Young’s grounder and threw it into the stands behind first base.

Young made it 2-0 in the sixth when he was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning and eventually scored on Caleb Joseph’s sacrifice fly.

Boston cut it to 2-1 in the bottom half on Ortiz’s RBI single through the shifted infield. Baltimore scored four in the seventh on six singles and catcher David Ross’ error on a play at the plate.

After Stephen Drew struck out to start the bottom half, Ross homered and then the next four batters singled to make it a 6-4 game. Pedroia struck out, then Brian Matusz was brought in to face Ortiz, who was 1 for 22 with 13 strikeouts in his career against the Orioles lefty.

Ortiz singled to make it 6-5, then Mike Napoli singled off Tommy Hunter to tie the game before Drew struck out to end the inning.

NOTES: Ortiz doubled in the fourth for his 1,708th hit in a Boston uniform. He passed Harry Hooper for seventh on the franchise list; Bobby Doerr is next with 2,042. Ortiz also had 393 hits with the Minnesota Twins. ... Bogaerts snapped an 0-for-27 slump with a thirdinning single. ... Gausman was called up from Triple-A Norfolk to make the start. RHP Ramon Ramirez was designated for assignment to make room on the roster. ... Orioles RHP Bud Norris (groin) felt fine Sunday, a day after throwing a simulated game. Showalter said he’s leaning toward starting Norris on Tuesday against Washington. ... Acknowledging Davis (.201) is “scuffling,” Showalter gave him Sunday off. Showalter expects Davis to play Monday. ... Showalter brushed off Red Sox RHP John Lackey’s comments Saturday after Cruz’s five-hit game. Lackey said he had “nothing to say” about Cruz, apparently referring to his 50-game suspension a year ago for his role in the Biogenesis drug scandal. “We need to all make sure we check our own backyard before we start looking at somebody else’s,” Showalter said. ... Peavy has not won in 13 starts since April.

Dutch Queen Maxima has split semifinal loyalties RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — The World Cup semifinal could produce some split loyalties in the House of Orange.

Dutch King Willem-Alexander and his wife, Argentinaborn Maxima, could face some minor matrimonial tensions on Wednesday when the Netherlands takes on Argentina in Sao Paulo.

At least that’s what photo manipulators on Twitter would have the world believe.

Doctored images began circulating online as soon as the Netherlands completed its dramatic World Cup quarterfinal win over Costa Rica, setting up the semifinal with Lionel Messi’s Argentina lineup.

One shows a couple lying in bed, facing away from one another, looking angry. The faces of WillemAlexander and Maxima have been edited into the image of marital disharmony.

Another shows the king and queen’s mansion in the wealthy village of Wassenaar draped in orange flags on one side for the Dutch and blue-and-white flags for Argentina on the other.

The photos are fakes, but emotions could well run high

Westfield Softball Majors show growth

By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Westfield Softball Majors, fresh off a valiant effort Thursday against District 4 champion Jack Barry Little League of Worcester, were slated to play their next contest Saturday.

A scheduling conflict shifted plans slightly and the Westfield girls ended up playing yesterday instead, facing off against visiting Athol of District 3 at Sadie Knox Field on Prospect Hill in the first round of the state Softball Majors consolation bracket.

While the team was unable to pick up the victory and saw Athol leave the Whip City with an 11-1 win, Westfield Coach Jeff Gelinas praised his girls’ effort on the diamond Sunday.

“We’ve only been together for a week and a half basically and then we had these games,” he said. “We ran into teams that’ve been playing longer and may’ve had a little more talent than us, but we had a much better game today than we did the other night.”

Westfield’s Hannah Baker took the mound Sunday evening after starting at catcher against Jack Barry, and pitched admirably for the home team.

“She pitched four innings and did a great job,” said Gelinas before listing off several other Westfielders who played well in the team’s effort.

“Amber Garfield played very well at shortstop, Leilani Marsh had a good game in the outfield,” he said. “Madi Harmon had another good game at first base, Emily Gelinas played well at catcher. Just about everyone had one decent play tonight.”

Asked of the factors that helped his squad cut down on runs allowed, Gelinas said his girls played with more composure.

“The girls weren’t nearly as nervous as they were the other night. Against Worcester, the kid’s knees were knocking.” he said. “Right from the get go, we just played better softball.

We fielded better, threw to the correct bases, ahead of runners. We just played better all around softball from the start.”

Rhode Island gets a special Bruins license plate PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Add the Boston Bruins to the list of sports teams featured on special license plates in Rhode Island.

Gov. Lincoln Chafee signed legislation creating a special plate for the National Hockey League team.

The Bruins plates will cost $40 more than regular ones. The money will be split evenly between the state and the team’s charitable foundation, which must use its share to benefit

Rhode Island-based organizations.

At least 900 plates must be ordered for authorities to begin issuing them.

Officials say similar plates in Rhode Island for fans of the Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots have proven popular.

Chafee also signed legislation creating a special plate for Olympic medal winners. That one has no additional registration charge.

when the king’s country plays his wife’s country of birth at football’s global tournament.

Dutch media reported Monday that the sports-loving couple will not be flying to Sao Paulo to watch the match.

The government information service did not immediately respond to an email seeking confirmation.

Publicly, at least, Maxima is a fervent fan of her adopted country.

Earlier in the tournament, she joined her husband in Porto Alegre to watch the Netherlands gritty 3-2 win over Australia — a match at which the naturalized Dutchwoman Maxima unabashedly cheered on the team and visited the changing rooms afterward to congratulate the players.

Photos showed the royals, draped in orange scarves, with the players and congratulating midfielder Wesley Sneijder on his 100th international appearance.

Born and raised in Buenos Aires, Maxima is the daughter of a former agriculture minister in Argentina’s 1976-1983 military dictatorship. She met the then-prince Willem-Alexander while she was working as a banker in New York. The couple has three daughters.

“It was a brutal one, but my arm felt great,” he said, adding that he wasn’t hindered by the back pain he’d suffered in Post 124′s previous two games.

Westfield’s ace anticipates starting several more outings this summer for 124, and despite being the owner of an unbeaten record, has some things he’s looking to improve upon.

“I’m only a two-pitch pitcher: I throw a fastball and a curveball,” he said. “So I’ve been trying, at least when I’m in the bullpen, to work a changeup in there. I don’t feel that comfortable with it yet, but I feel if I get a good changeup, it will make it easier for my infield and outfield to make plays for me.”

Post 124 improved it’s record to 12-3 on the young season, and will face Springfield’s Post 21 at Bullens Field tomorrow night.

Annie’s Mailbox

By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

Danced enough Dear Annie: I am a 68-year-old twice-divorced woman who has made some unwise decisions in my life. I’m single (which is fine) and will be retiring at year’s end. I’m currently living with an egotistical, frugal, cold-as-ice 75-year-old man who claims he loves me, yet he dominates every conversation, lacks social skills, ignores etiquette and attempts to control me.

I didn’t know him long enough before I moved to be with him.

We met at a dance when he was in town visiting friends. I still couldn’t discern infatuation from love. I wanted a fairy tale. I thought with my heart instead of my head. After a while, dancing four nights a week wears thin when that’s all there is to enjoy together. I haven’t been happy for several years. We’ve made some nice friends, but if I don’t suggest getting together, they never would. My children and siblings live out of state, and I want to move back home. How can I do that and save face with my family and friends? They warned me that I was rushing into things. -- Danced Enough Dear Danced: You’d rather be unhappy than admit you made a mistake? It could be very freeing to say to your friends and family, “You were right. I should have listened.” Then it’s over. Just make sure you don’t repeat the mistake. Take some time to figure out what is best for you, without focusing on the next man in your life.

Dear Annie: I’ve been married for 45 years. I love my wife, but I like to flirt with women.

Last year I did more than flirt, and my wife found out. I asked her to forgive me, and she did. But when she keeps asking for an explanation, I blow her off, leave or get upset until she quits asking annoying questions. Should I tell her to get over it, or sit down with her and tell her the entire truth, even if it is more than she can handle? -- Wondering Dear Wondering: You cheated on your wife, and you find her questions “annoying”? Your wife deserves your complete honesty. It’s not up to you to decide what is too much for her to handle.

She might forgive you, but she will never be able to trust you again if she doesn’t believe you are totally truthful, answering any questions she has for as long as it takes. Ask your doctor to refer you to a marriage counselor so the two of you can hash this out and truly start fresh.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Need Help in Jacksonville, Fla.,” the elderly couple who could use some help with the housekeeping, but felt that cleaning service personnel could not be trusted to keep their hands off of their valuables. There is another side to that story that needs to be mentioned.

My 80-year-old parents often tell me that “someone” who visited their home must have stolen various items, because they could not find these things. My friends with parents that age tell me the same thing. They are convinced someone has stolen everything from watches and money to kitchen utensils and cookie sheets. My mother even accused a family member of stealing a watch that she later found right where she had misplaced it. As you can well imagine, that did some damage to their relationship.

At the age of 50-something, I spend a good deal of time looking for my own misplaced things. Thank goodness I am not yet at the point where I am convinced these things were stolen, but I suspect that time will come soon enough. -- A Weary Daughter Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE PET PAL Dear Readers: A reader, via email, sent in a picture of her four adopted cats spooning with each other. They are all lying on their sides with their paws around each other. The cats are great about posing for pictures. To see their picture, go to my website, www.Heloise. com, and click on “Pets.” -- Heloise SHARPEN THE STICKS Dear Heloise: As I struggled to insert 10 small American flags into very hard ground this morning for the Memorial Day holiday, I thought of the old pencil sharpener sitting idle in the cabinet. I then proceeded to “sharpen” the sticks. Insertion into the ground was a snap. I believe I came up with the perfect solution. It’s a real back-saver. -- Eveleen S. in Florida That certainly makes the task easier! This can be used for any type of lawn decoration. -- Heloise KEEP BLOOMING Dear Heloise: I’ve enjoyed the spectacular blossoms from my cymbidium (orchid), but now they have faded and I have cut them back. I didn’t know what to do. I inserted a small pot of moth orchids in the center and enjoyed blossoms again until the cymbidium blooms again. It also helps if you have some dry green moss to cover the top of the moth orchid plant. -- Gene in Texas

YOUR HOROSCOPE Contract Bridge

By Jaqueline Bigar

DOG EAT DOUG

Brian Anderson

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, July 7, 2014: This year you manifest creativity and determination, though not necessarily together. If you are in an artistic field, you will see more acknowledgment for your work. If you are single, you are likely to have a very intense love life. You could be overwhelmed by many different potential sweeties. If you are attached, you might discover that you have a new addition to the house. For some people, it might be a baby; for others, it could be a puppy, a new roommate or some other change involving your home. Watch a tendency to overspend. You are very emotional and sometimes have difficulties with your mood swings. SCORPIO is also emotional like you, but does not reveal their feelings as easily.

ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You might have a lot to think about, as a friend might express a little too much consideration for your comfort level.

Your intuition comes into play. Could this person want to coax you in a certain direction? You might feel out of sync with others in general. One person could be parTonight: demanding. ticularly Togetherness.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Defer to others and see a situation for what it is. A loved one or partner could be aloof and touchy. Understand what is going on with this person.

Conversations move forward, allowing you to gain insight. You are overly cautious with funds. Tonight: Listen to others and what they want. Note what isn’t said.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Be aware of others’ needs and what they might require. Your feelings come forward, and you might be hesitant to pursue a certain path. Your sensitivity might be offended by another’s request. Be true to yourself no matter what goes down.

Tonight: Stop at the gym.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might want to understand more of what is motivating those around you. They might be coming from a place of negativity, but you can help them turn it around to a more positive attitude. Tap into your creativity. Tonight: Love blossoms.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Make time for what you need and want to do. You might want to take a nap or have a discussion with a family member or roommate. Schedule time for a snooze or talk sometime during the day. Your instincts guide you with a domestic or personal matter. Tonight: Mosey on home.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Return calls while balancing other matters and errands. You could be quite touched by a comment from someone you respect. Be more aware of what is happening within your immediate circle. You might want to share your thoughts with a dear friend, loved one or partner. Tonight: Catch up on news with a friend.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Curb a need to be overly possessive and demanding. You want situations to take the twists and turns you would like.

You can only create so much, as you only have so much control. Be careful about spending. You easily could make a mistake. Tonight: Be more direct.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might go out of your way to ease another person’s stress level. Your sensitivity to the moment and other people allows for greater give-and-take. Be sure you want to proceed in your present chosen direction. If you opt to make a commitment, it will be likely to occur, but it will demand endurance. Tonight: What pleases you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to see a situation move in a new direction -- think again.

The ramifications and what you would need to do could be more than what you are willing to do. Investigate an unusually creative idea. Could it really work?

Tonight: Get some extra R and R. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Zero in on an objective outlined in a meeting. You might have a surprising response to this goal. Discuss and debate all you need to in order to root out a problem. You find that the obligations are far more serious than you’d anticipated.

Tonight: Visit with a friend.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Notice that others look to you for advice and often admire your choices.

Your unpredictability throws many people, as they don’t understand you well. Often what looks irrational to others is highly logical. You have often thought out your seemingly “impulsive” actions. Consider sharing your processing more often.

Cryptoquip

Crosswords

Tonight: Working late.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Read between the lines when someone makes what seems like an outrageous statement. Your feelings might be involved, making your detachment a must. What is being said probably has a deeper meaning than you are aware of and possibly has nothing to do with you. Tonight: Make sure music is involved.

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 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.
