By AMY PORTER Correspondent WESTFIELD – Jack Christian and Warren Christian, the great-great grandsons of Confederate general Stonewall Jackson wrote an open letter this week to the mayor of Richmond, Virginia urging removal of Confederate statues in that city from Monument Avenue, including one of their great-great grandfather atop a horse.

One of the letter writers, William “Jack” Christian, is a writing instructor in the English Department of Westfield State University, and a graduate of the University of Massachusetts Amherst MFA Program for Poets and Writers. He is the author of two books of poetry: Family System (2012 Colorado Prize: University Press of Colorado) and Domestic Yoga (2016, Groundhog Poetry Press).

His brother Warren Christian currently works with international students at the University of North Carolina, where he received his M.A. and Ph.D. in education.

When contacted by The Westfield News, Jack gave his permission to use the open letter, but said, “I pretty much said what I had to say.” The letter, published on August 14, has had wide circulation, including being referenced in The New York Times and published in full in the online magazine Slate.

Their letter is reproduced in full, below.

Dear Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney and members of the Monument Avenue Commission, We are native Richmonders and also the great-great-grandsons of Stonewall Jackson.

As two of the closest living relatives to Stonewall, we are writing today to ask for the removal of his statue, as well as the removal of all Confederate statues from Monument Avenue. They are overt symbols of racism and white supremacy, and the time is long overdue for them to depart from public display. Overnight, Baltimore has seen fit to take this action. Richmond should, too.

In making this request, we wish to express our respect and admiration for Mayor Stoney’s leadership while also strongly dis-

(Westfield State University photo) agreeing with his claim that “removal of symbols does [nothing] for telling the actual truth [nor] changes the state and culture of racism in this country today.” In our view, the removal of the Jackson statue and others will necessarily further difficult conversations about racial justice. It will begin to tell the truth of us all coming to our senses.

Last weekend, Charlottesville showed us unequivocally that Confederate statues offer pre-existing iconography for racists. The people who descended on Charlottesville last weekend were there to make a naked show of force for white supremacy. To them, the Robert E. Lee statue is a clear symbol of their hateful ideology.

Update from Westfield G&E and Whip City Fiber Summer keeps marching on and so do the Westfield Gas+ Electric (WG+E) and Whip City Fiber (WCF) crews. As reported in my last column, crews have been busy in the southeast portion of Westfield building out the optical fiber infrastructure (or backbone) so we can go ahead and bring high-speed internet service to those lucky neighborhoods.

One of the most asked questions we receive is “when are you coming to my area?” Earlier this year, when we received authorization from the Municipal Light Board, Mayor and City Council to borrow the funds to expand Whip City Fiber, it was for a two year build schedule which would encompass roughly 75% of the properties in Westfield. Our Whip City Fiber website (whipcityfiber.com has a map that shows a seasonal schedule through next summer. If your area is not highlighted it only means that you are not in the initial build period. This map will be updated as necessary.

Thanks to the efforts of those crews, residents in the areas of Shaker and Pontoosic Roads are now being notified that their areas are “lit up” and we have already begun installing services.If you have already filled out an application on whipcityfiber.com you will be notified regarding the scheduling of your install. We are currently scheduling installs in areas where existing utilities are provided aerially. Those customers with existing underground utilities will be scheduled soon.

Not a day goes by that we don’t hear from customers that can’t wait to “cut the cord” and get connected to Whip City Fiber. Not only are they enthusiastic about receiving the benefits of high speed internet, they arealso extremely incentivized at the prospect of saving significant money by changing providers and viewing their entertainment content through the internet rather than from a cable provider. “Cutting the cord” or “streaming” is becoming a national trend in how one receives their entertainment. This adjustment in viewing habits can be a learning curve for some, but saving money (upwards to $100 a month or more) can be a great motivator!

As with many of the technological changes that have come up over the past two decades

(remember the first generation of cell phones that came in a box with a strap that you carried on your shoulder?), it can take some adjustment and willingness to learn how to use any new electronic equipment. This is where our knowledgeable WG+E/WCF Customer Service and Tech Support personnel can really make the difference.

Our Customer Service Representatives are available by phone or in person at any of our drop-in locations or events to answer any questions. And, if you are in a new or soon-to-be serviced WCF neighborhood, our Support Technicians can schedule free in-home consultations. Information they share includes how installing an antennae can enable you to view local channels for free or how our phone service can save you more money while allowing you to keep your same number. They can also explain streaming and how you can view channels you want without paying for those that you don’t want. Additionally with WCF, there are no hidden fees, and no contracts or minimum terms. These dedicated staff members are here to help educate and will hold your hand and walk you through the process.

The feedback we’ve received from WCF customers who have experienced this unique customer service experience has been phenomenal and overwhelmingly positive, which is something that’s not always heard about other providers. Furthermore, these consultations and subsequent installations are done at no cost to you,as a Whip City Fiber customer. Like the service and reliability you’ve come to expect from WG+E, Whip City Fiber is no different. The dedication and willingness of our employees to help customers is unparalleled. Be it the natural gas, electric or internet sides of the house, I can’t say enough about how impressed and honored I am to be able to work with such extraordinary people.

As a locally owned and operated municipal utility, Westfield Gas and Electric and Whip City Fiber are here for you and will continue to work hard to connect Westfield. Please call our Customer Service team at 572-0100, like us on Facebook or visit our website at www.whipcityfiber.com to learn more.

Thank you and enjoy the rest of your summer.

Golden retriever digs up heroin in Oregon backyard MCMINNVILLE, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon family’s golden retriever has been honored by a sheriff for digging up $85,000 worth of black tar heroin in a family’s backyard.

KATU-TV reported Friday that the owners of the 18-month-old dog named Kenyon thought he had dug up a time capsule in their backyard, so they decided to film themselves opening it.

As they did, they realized Kenyon had found drugs.

Yamhill County Sheriff Tim Svenson identified the substance as more than 15 ounces of black tar heroin.

Svenson presented Kenyon with a ribbon and named him an honorary narcotics dog for life.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Saturday, Aug. 19, the 231st day of 2017. There are 134 days left in the year.

O

n August 19, 1942, during World War II, about 6,000 Canadian and British soldiers launched a disastrous raid against the Germans at Dieppe, France, suffering more than 50-percent casualties.

ON THIS DATE:

In A.D. 14, Caesar Augustus, Rome’s first emperor, died at age 76 after a reign lasting four decades; he was succeeded by his stepson Tiberius.

In 1812, the USS Constitution defeated the British frigate HMS Guerriere off Nova Scotia during the War of 1812, earning the nickname “Old Ironsides.”

In 1814, during the War of 1812, British forces landed at Benedict, Maryland, with the objective of capturing Washington D.C. In 1918, “Yip! Yip! Yaphank,” a musical revue by Irving Berlin featuring Army recruits from Camp Upton in Yaphank, New York, opened on Broadway.

In 1934, a plebiscite in Germany approved the vesting of sole executive power in Adolf Hitler.

In 1936, the first of a series of show trials orchestrated

by Soviet leader Josef Stalin began in Moscow as 16 defendants faced charges of conspiring against the government (all were convicted and executed).

In 1955, torrential rains caused by Hurricane Diane resulted in severe flooding in the northeastern U.S., claiming some 200 lives.

In 1964, The Beatles opened their first full-fledged U.S. tour as they performed at San Francisco’s Cow Palace.

In 1976, President Gerald R. Ford won the Republican presidential nomination at the party’s convention in Kansas City.

In 1980, 301 people aboard a Saudi Arabian L-1011 died as the jetliner made a fiery emergency return to the Riyadh airport.

In 1987, a gun collector ran through Hungerford, England,

60 miles west of London, killing 16 people, including his mother, before turning his gun on himself.

In 1991, Soviet hard-liners stunned the world by announcing that President Mikhail S. Gorbachev had been removed from power. (The coup attempt collapsed two days later.)

TEN YEARS AGO: Hurricane Dean, which had already killed eight people on its destructive march across the Caribbean, pummeled Jamaica with gusting winds and torrential rains as a Category 4 storm. French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner paid an unannounced and highly symbolic visit to Baghdad — the first by a senior French official since the war started. Elvira Arellano, an immigrant without legal status who’d taken refuge in a Chicago church to avoid being separated from her U.S.-born son, was deported to Mexico. (Arellano eventually made her way back to the U.S. and was paroled by immigration authorities in March 2014; her case remains under review.)

FIVE YEARS AGO: Missouri Congressman Todd Akin, the conservative Republican U.S. Senate candidate, said in an interview on KTVI-TV in St. Louis that it was “really rare” for women to become pregnant when they were raped. (Akin afterwards backed off his on-air comments, saying that he’d misspoken; Akin lost the November election to Democratic incumbent Claire McCaskill.) NATO said a man in an Afghan police uniform shot and killed an international service member, raising the death toll to 10 in such attacks in the space of just two weeks. Tony Scott, 68, director of such Hollywood hits as “Top Gun,” and “Days of Thunder,” jumped to his death from a suspension bridge over Los Angeles Harbor.

ONE YEAR AGO: The Obama administration defended its decision to make a $400 million cash delivery to Iran contingent on the release of American prisoners, saying the payment wasn’t ransom because the Islamic Republic would have soon recouped the money one way or another. Usain Bolt

scored another sweep at the Rio Games, winning three gold medals in his third consecutive Olympics by turning a close 4x100 relay race against Japan and the United States into a typical, Bolt-like runaway, helping Jamaica cross the line in 37.27 seconds. Allyson Felix won an unprecedented fifth gold medal in women’s track and field, running the second leg of the 4x100-meter relay team.

Actor Jack Riley, 80, died in Los Angeles.

Math experts join brainpower to help address gerrymandering

By COLLIN BINKLEY Associated Press MEDFORD, Mass. (AP) — Some of the brightest minds in math arrived at Tufts University last week to tackle an issue lawyers and political scientists have been struggling with for decades.

They came from colleges across the country for a weeklong conference on gerrymandering, the practice of crafting voting districts in a way that favors voters from a certain political party or demographic. It’s a topic of growing interest among many math and data experts who say their scholarly fields can provide new tools to help courts identify voting maps that are drawn unfairly.

Among those working to bridge the classroom and the courtroom is Moon Duchin, a math professor at Tufts who orchestrated the gathering at her Boston-area campus. The workshop was the first in a series being organized at campuses nationwide to unite academics and to harness cutting-edge mathematics to address gerrymandering.

“Mathematicians are coming late to this problem,” said Duchin, who started studying the shapes of electoral districts after teaching a course on voting during the presidential primary last year. “We think we can see underlying mathematical principles that weren’t visible before.”

Gerrymandering isn’t new, and it isn’t always illegal. States are given wide latitude to draw their own voting districts, and since at least the 1800s politicians have sought to cement their power by creating districts in which certain voting groups are spread thinly over many districts or clumped heavily into only a few. Either way, it dilutes their power.

Drawing districts along racial lines has been ruled unconstitutional, as in North Carolina, where a federal court struck down 28 districts last year because state Republicans relied too heavily on race when drawing them. Gerrymandering along partisan lines has survived legal challenges, but the Supreme Court will revisit the topic this year in a Wisconsin lawsuit that experts say could be a landmark case.

Mathematicians hope to help by offering new measurements to evaluate whether a district has been drawn unfairly. Until recently many courts have relied on relatively unscientific methods, experts say, often using the so-called “eyeball test” to see if a district’s shape looks reasonably compact and regular.

By contrast, researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have recently created a supercomputer algorithm that can compare a district to millions of hypothetical alternatives to determine whether the original map is a statistical outlier, which can offer evidence of bias. Teams at the University of Michigan and Duke University have developed similar algorithms.

Other quantitative methods that have gained traction include the “efficiency gap” formula, which measures to what extent a political party benefited from district boundaries in a particular election. Duchin at Tufts is working on her own “curvature” metric that combines two major measures of compactness.

Some of the updated approaches helped convince a federal court in Wisconsin last year that the state’s voting districts amounted to illegal partisan gerrymandering, and legal experts say the swarm of new data tools could reshape how cases are decided.

“Traditional redistricting disputes have sort of a he-said, shesaid aspect to them,” said Michael Li, senior redistricting counsel at the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University.

“Statistical tests and data-driven tests can be really helpful to courts in ascertaining when a map goes too far, when something is statistically unlikely to be randomly reproduced.”

At the college workshops, Duchin is trying to spark conversations that could lead to even more tests and to sort out which are best. She’s also bringing in lawyers to train mathematicians how to testify as expert witnesses in gerrymandering lawsuits so they can apply and defend the tests.

Legal teams have already contacted Duchin requesting expert witnesses right away, she said, and demand is expected to surge after new congressional districts are drawn following the 2020 census.

“We expect there to be an unprecedented amount of litigation after the 2020 census, and we want there to be witnesses available around the country,” she said.

Her group’s next workshops will be hosted at colleges in North Carolina, Wisconsin, Texas and California, all states that have faced allegations of some type of gerrymandering.

Organizers say their goal is to pick conference applicants who are experts in their fields and could later become research partners.

“We’ll be teaching them, but we’ll also be asking them questions,” Duchin said. “At end of day, we want to produce something that leads to better standards.”

1st African American woman on state supreme court retires BOSTON (AP) — The first African-American woman to serve on Massachusetts’ highest court is retiring.

Supreme Judicial Court Justice Geraldine Hines served her last day on the seven-member body on Friday. She’s been a judge in Massachusetts for 16 years, three of which were on the Supreme Judicial Court.

Hines was the first African-American woman to serve on the state Appeals Court and later on the state Supreme Judicial

Court. She was appointed to both courts by former Democratic Governor Deval Patrick.

Hines retires just shy of her 70th birthday, which is the mandatory retirement age for state judges. She plans to travel and dedicate herself to social justice causes.

Hines will be succeeded by state Appeals Court Chief Justice Scott Kafker, who was unanimously confirmed by the Governor’s Council last month.

Letter to the Editor Hello Ward 3, and the rest of Westfield.

I promised myself to focus locally, or at worse to state issues, but this past week has left me no choice but to respond.

You would expect that the President, and now the Gov. of Maine would have some sense of American history. Either they are ignorant of it, or producing alternative facts or faked news?

Anyway: Why take on Gen’s. Lee and Stonewall, and not Washington and Jefferson? Washington, and Jefferson helped to create our form and structures of governance. They fought to defend and establish our nation. Lee and Stonewall attacked and fought against The U.S., and wanted destroy our form of government. It would be like Texas putting up a monument to Santa Anna after defeating him in the Mexican War, or Hawaii a tribute to Togo for WWII, or any American putting up statues of Hitler, Mussolini, or Stalin to celebrate WWII< and the Cold War. Americans versus self-declared enemies of the U.S. The South created themselves as a new nation, and attacked the U.S., and lost. The motley Northerners defeated them.

And, as a Class based nation, the Confederacy oppressed other White Americans as well. Why popular in the South?

When the rich own the land that you work (tenant farmers) and when you are told that, what little social status that you have is threatened, you fight to defend what little you have.

Especially if that had been the way of it for 50 years of social conditioning to it.

As for us, Massachusetts, the monument to the dead Southerners on Georges Island, keep it, but put next to it the listing of the 1,000’s of Union soldiers who were starved, abused, and whose wounds went untreated; lived and suffered in terrible conditions at places like ANDERSONVILLE! Because they were Americans.

Lastly, do we really want Neo-National Socialists to take over our country? A one party dictatorship that demands total obedience to the State and that controls every aspect of our lives? Real Americans need to say no, and those that defend them have betrayed us, our nation, and our nation’s founding and fundamental principles. And, for the naïve National Socialist oppose both Democracy and Republican forms of government.

Sorry for the rant, but when attacked, we, New World Real Americans cannot stand by, as the Germans and Italians did and let them do it, and watch them destroy our nation as they did in Germany and Italy.

Your former Ward 3 City Councilor, Veteran, and lifelong believer in citizen responsibility and authority, Brian Hoose brhoose@comcast.net

State Department email restored after worldwide outage

By MATTHEW LEE AP Diplomatic Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — State Department email service has been restored after a nearly 12-hour worldwide outage hit its entire unclassified system.

Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said service resumed slowly shortly after midday Friday and was expected to be completely restored by late afternoon.

The outage began around 2 a.m. Friday morning and officials said it was not caused by human error and not "any external action or interference."

The department was forced to shut down its unclassified email systems in 2014 in what officials said at the time was routine maintenance. But it later emerged that the system had been compromised by hackers believed to be affiliated with Russia and that the maintenance explanation was a cover story.

Trump ousts Bannon, his influential, divisive strategist

By JONATHAN LEMIRE and JILL COLVIN Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Steve Bannon, the blunt-spoken and divisive strategist who rose from Donald Trump's conservative campaign to a top White House post, was pushed out by the president Friday, capping a turbulent seven months marked by the departure of much of Trump's original senior staff.

The former leader of conservative Breitbart News and a favorite in the farther-right portions of the Republican Party, Bannon had pushed Trump to follow through on some of his most contentious campaign promises including his travel ban for some foreigners and his decision to pull out of the Paris climate change agreement. He returned to Breitbart News as executive chairman and chaired the Friday evening editorial meeting, the news site announced.

Barely more than a half-year in, Trump now has forced out his hardline national security adviser, his chief of staff, his press secretary (whose last day will be Aug. 31) and two communications directors — in addition to the FBI director he inherited from Barack Obama.

Bannon's departure is especially significant since he was viewed by many as Trump's connection to his base of mostcommitted voters and the protector of the disruptive, conservative agenda that propelled the celebrity businessman to the White House.

"It's a tough pill to swallow if Steve is gone because you have a Republican West Wing that's filled with generals and Democrats," said former campaign strategist Sam Nunberg, shortly before the news of Bannon's departure broke. "It would feel like the twilight zone."

From Breitbart, there was a dramatic one-word warning. "#WAR," tweeted Joel B. Pollak, a senior editor at large at the news site.

Indeed, Bannon's nationalistic, outsider conservatism served as a guiding force for Trump's rise to office. He injected a dark populism into the campaign and sharpened its attacks on Democrat Hillary Clinton, encouraging Trump's instinct to fight and counter-punch at every turn. When the release of a 2005 tape, in which Trump can be heard boasting about groping women, threatened to capsize the Republican's campaign, Bannon attempted to turn the tables by gathering a group of women who accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault and trying to ambush the Democratic nominee at a general election debate.

Without him, Trump's agenda is left in the hands of more moderate advisers, including his son-in-law, his daughter and his economic adviser whom Bannon has slammed as "globalist."

But Bannon was also accused by many of his critics of leaking to reporters in a bid for self-promotion, and egging on Trump's most damaging impulses.

Trump spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Bannon and Chief of Staff John Kelly, only recently installed himself, had agreed that Friday would be Bannon's last day.

"We are grateful for his service and wish him the best," she said in the only statement from the White House.

A combative and unorthodox Republican, Bannon was a contentious presence in a White House divided by warring staff loyalties. He repeatedly clashed with other top advisers, most notably Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner. His puppetmaster image also drew the ire of the president, who at times bristled at the perception that Bannon was the mastermind of his winning campaign and the force behind White House policies.

One person close to Bannon said he had offered his resignation to Trump on Aug. 7. It was to go into effect a week later, the one-year anniversary of when he officially joined Trump's presidential campaign. But the departure was delayed after the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, said the person, who spoke only on condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations.

In fact, Bannon has been on shaky ground for weeks, and his job appeared in jeopardy when Kelly announced that he'd be embarking on a personnel review of West Wing staff.

Though Bannon had adopted a lower profile in recent weeks, he again became a flashpoint following criticism from the right of national security adviser H.R. McMaster, which some blamed on him, and Trump's refusal to blame white nationalists for the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Earlier this week, The American Prospect posted an interview in which he contradicted Trump by saying there was no military solution to the threat posed by North Korea and its nuclear ambitions. Just last week, Trump pledged to answer North Korean aggression with "fire and fury."

Bannon also talked about purging his rivals from the Defense and State departments, as though he were in charge.

In recent remarks, the president has downplayed Bannon's role in his campaign and passed up an opportunity to express confidence in him publicly.

"He's a good person. He actually gets very unfair press in that regard," Trump said earlier this week. "But we'll see what happens with Mr. Bannon."

Trump had recently signaled to confidants that he was going to dismiss Bannon but had not settled on a timeframe, according to another person who had discussed the matter with the president but was not authorized to speak publicly about private discussions and insisted on anonymity. Still, Bannon had been telling people as recently as this week that he believed his job was safe and he would leave only if fired.

Several sources said Bannon has been hinting for weeks that he might soon return to the helm of Breitbart News. At one point he was casually discussing the matter as though it was a certainty, according to a Bannon associate who demanded anonymity to share private conversations.

Bannon told Bloomberg politics in an interview that he'll be continuing to fight the same fights, just from outside the White House.

"If there's any confusion out there, let me clear it up: I'm leaving the White House and going to war for Trump against his opponents — on Capitol Hill, in the media, and in corporate America," Bannon told the outlet.

Still, Bannon is telling allies he intends to hold the administration accountable if it falters on campaign promises.

Boston mayor: Violence won’t be tolerated at weekend rally

By MARK PRATT Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Boston will deploy about 500 police officers on Saturday to prevent possible violence at a free speech rally and planned counterprotests, the mayor and police commissioner said Friday.

“We will not tolerate any misbehavior, violence or vandalism whatsoever,” Police Commissioner William Evans said at a City Hall news conference.

The city granted permission for what organizers are calling a free speech rally on Boston Common, but which some people fear is actually a white nationalist event similar to the Unite the Right rally in Virginia last weekend that erupted in violence and left one person dead.

Boston Mayor Marty Walsh pointed out that some of those invited to speak “spew hate.” Kyle Chapman, who described himself on Facebook as a “proud American nationalist,” said he will attend.

“They have the right to gather no matter how repugnant their views are,” Walsh said. “We’re going to respect their right of free speech. In return they must respect our city.”

The Boston Free Speech Coalition says its rally has nothing to do with white nationalism, Nazism or racism and that they are not affiliated with the organizers of the Charlottesville, See Weekend Rally, Page 7

Police official placed on leave amid evidence room probe WEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) - The second-incommand at a Massachusetts police department has been placed on indefinite leave amid an investigation into procedures with the department's evidence room.

West Springfield's mayor and the city's police chief confirm that Capt. Daniel Spaulding was put on leave Wednesday.

Chief Ronald Campurciani said he could "neither confirm nor deny" whether Spaulding's leave is linked to an ongoing investigation into what have been called "discrepancies" involving evidence room money. The chief says he cannot discuss personnel issues.

The state attorney general opened an investigation into the department's procedures for handling evidence room money in June.

Spaulding was the senior officer in charge of evidence until October.

Spaulding's lawyer declined to comment.

Police investigating “disturbing” anti-police graffiti MAYNARD, Mass. (AP) — Police in a Massachusetts town are investigating after three anti-police messages were spray-painted on buildings.

Maynard Police Chief Mark Dubois said the graffiti was found in the early morning hours Friday. He says they cropped up sometime between 11 p.m. on Thursday and 6 a.m. the next day.

One was found on a CVS store on Main Street and read “Down to Die.” Another scrawled on The Paper Store said “Kill Pigs,” and a third message on another Main Street building said “Kill Cops Now.” Dubois said the department is taking the messages “very seriously” and not treating them as a “simple prank.” He says the “extremely disturbing” messages are a threat to the department and the community.

Confederate Statues

Continued from Page 1

Monument Avenue are, too—especially Jackson, who faces north, supposedly as if to continue the fight.

We are writing to say that we understand justice very differently from our grandfather’s grandfather, and we wish to make it clear his statue does not represent us.

Through our upbringing and education, we have learned much about Stonewall Jackson. We have learned about his reluctance to fight and his teaching of Sunday School to enslaved peoples in Lexington, Virginia, a potentially criminal activity at the time. We have learned how thoughtful and loving he was toward his family. But we cannot ignore his decision to own slaves, his decision to go to war for the Confederacy, and, ultimately, the fact that he was a white man fighting on the side of white supremacy.

While we are not ashamed of our great-great-grandfather, we are ashamed to benefit from white supremacy while our black family and friends suffer. We are ashamed of the monument.

In fact, instead of lauding Jackson’s violence, we choose to celebrate Stonewall’s sister—our great-great-grandaunt— Laura Jackson Arnold. As an adult Laura became a staunch Unionist and abolitionist. Though she and Stonewall were incredibly close through childhood, she never spoke to Stonewall after his decision to support the Confederacy. We choose to stand on the right side of history with Laura Jackson Arnold.

Confederate monuments like the Jackson statue were never intended as benign symbols. Rather, they were the clearly articulated artwork of white supremacy. Among many examples, we can see this plainly if we look at the dedication of a Confederate statue at the University of North Carolina, in which a speaker proclaimed that the Confederate soldier “saved the very life of the Anglo-Saxon race in the South.”

Disturbingly, he went on to recount a tale of performing the “pleasing duty” of “horse whipping” a black woman in front of federal soldiers. All over the South, this grotesque message is conveyed by similar monuments. As importantly, this message is clear to today’s avowed white supremacists.

There is also historical evidence that the statues on Monument Avenue were rejected by black Richmonders at the time of their construction. In the 1870s, John Mitchell, a black city councilman, called the monuments a tribute to “blood and treason” and voiced strong opposition to the use of public funds for building them. Speaking about the Lee Memorial, he vowed that there would come a time when African Americans would “be there to take it down.”

Ongoing racial disparities in incarceration, educational attainment, police brutality, hiring practices, access to health care, and, perhaps most starkly, wealth, make it clear that these monuments do not stand somehow outside of history. Racism and white supremacy, which undoubtedly continue today, are neither natural nor inevitable. Rather, they were created in order to justify the unjustifiable, in particular slavery.

‘Spectacular’ autumn foliage is forecast for New England BOSTON (AP) — New England's fall foliage forecast is looking so fine it's enough to make a maple leaf blush.

For the first time in several years, little has conspired against a truly glorious autumn. There's no more drought, the summer has been mild and the leaves — largely spared by marauding gypsy moth caterpillars — look healthy.

Translation: A pretty great season for leaf peeping seems to be shaping up.

"It's the most optimistic forecast I've had in a couple of years," said Jim Salge, who tracks the region's annual autumn pageant for Yankee Magazine.

"The biggest thing that can go wrong with foliage is a really wet couple of weeks leading up," Salge cautioned. "We'll really need that typical fall weather in New England — warm, sunny days and cool, crisp nights — to make it pop. But we've had a great setup."

A few recent autumns disappointed because they were preceded by too much or too little summer rainfall, muting the colors. Last fall was a bust in parts of eastern Massachusetts and Connecticut after hungry caterpillars defoliated hundreds of thousands of acres of already drought-stricken woodlands.

But this year, Yankee says in a forecast being released Friday, the stage is set for a particularly "strong and vibrant" display. Salge didn't study New York, New Jersey or other corners of the Northeast, but botanists say those states theoretically should be in for a nice show, too, since they tend to experience similar weather.

Snowfall and snowmelt replenished drought-parched forests during winter and early spring.

"Since spring, the weather in New England has been fairly stable. There have been no long stretches of unbearable heat, nor have temperatures been below average. Rainfall has been adequate but not extreme," it predicts.

"The setup looks good overall for New England's fall foliage display this year. The forest appears generally healthy and leaf development has been normal. The upshot: In New England, normal fall colors are expected to be spectacular."

Jeff Folger, a leading foliage expert from Salem, Massachusetts, mostly concurs, though he worries about the fallout from a fungus that thrived during the very moist spring.

It affects maples and other species, mottling the leaves and in some instances even causing them to drop early.

Gypsy moth caterpillars also did serious damage in parts of Rhode Island and around the Quabbin Reservoir in west-central Massachusetts. Chomped trees sprouted new leaves, but that generally means less-vibrant colors in badly hit areas come fall.

And the National Weather Service says it's too early to predict in fickle New England whether September conditions will favor foliage. Its models foresee normal rainfall and above normal temperatures, which may or may not produce those desirable crisp nights.

Eastern equine encephalitis appears for first time in state WESTPORT, Mass. (AP) — Massachusetts health officials say eastern equine encephalitis has been detected in a mosquito in the state for the first time this year.

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health made the announcement Wednesday, saying they found the carrier mosquito in Westport from a sample collected Monday. There have been no human cases of the disease in the state in 2016 or 2017.

State epidemiologist Catherine Brown says it remains important for residents to take steps against mosquito bites.

She says residents should cover up and use insect repellant According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , the disease is not apparent in most infected persons. In severe cases, infected persons can suffer from high fevers and vomiting which and can progress to seizures or comas.

Weekend Rally

Continued from Page 5 Virginia, rally.

“While we maintain that every individual is entitled to their freedom of speech and defend that basic human right, we will not be offering our platform to racism or bigotry. We denounce the politics of supremacy and violence,” the group said on its Facebook page.

Its permit is for 100 people, though an organizer has said he expected up to 1,000 people to attend.

Organizers of a counterprotest expect thousands of people to join them on a 2-mile (3.2-kilometer) march from the city’s Roxbury neighborhood to the Common to “stand in defiance of white supremacy,” activist Monica Cannon said.

“I don’t think what they are exuding is free speech, I believe it is hate speech,” she said at a separate news conference Friday.

Organizers promised a peaceful counterprotest.

Another group is planning a separate “Stand for Solidarity” rally on the Statehouse steps near the Common.

The police presence in Boston will include undercover officers mingling in the crowds and officers on bicycles, Evans said. More officers will be held in reserve in case of trouble.

Transit police will increase their presence at subway stations in the area. Weapons of all kinds, even sticks used to carry signs, are banned. The sides will be separated by barricades.

Popular tourist attractions, including the Frog Pond on the Common, and the Swan Boats in the adjacent Public Garden, are being shut down for the day. Streets around the Common are also being blocked to vehicle traffic.

Extra security cameras have been installed at the bandstand where the free speech rally is taking place. Walsh noted it’s a spot where Frederick Douglass, Martin Luther King Jr., and President Barack Obama have spoken.

State police troopers are also available if needed, Gov. Charlie Baker said.

“We’re going to do everything we can to make sure tomorrow is about liberty and justice, and about freedom and peace,” he said.

Boston isn’t the only city preparing for such a rally.

Dallas police said Friday they will have extra officers on duty for a rally against white supremacy planned for City Hall Plaza on Saturday night.

Supporters of keeping the city’s Confederate monuments have also posted on social media about a counterprotest, but it was unclear Friday whether that event would occur.

The Westfield News first reported on the younger Nelson being struck by a vehicle around 3:15 p.m. on July 12 on Route 10 and 202, more specifically on the intersection of College Hwy and Bugbee Road.

According to Jim Nelson, Ashley just recently came home from the hospital and is doing outpatient therapies but improving every day.

James Leydon, the Communications Director for the Hampden County District Attorney’s Office said that the driver of the involved vehicle has a criminal complaint against them for negligent operation of a motor vehicle and is being sought at Westfield District Court.

Overdose

release from the Baker-Polito Administration on Aug. 16 related to updated analysis on the opioid epidemic. In the press release, it was noted that the administration released updated information for its Chapter 55 report, which provides “residents, policy makers, and public officials new information on the sweep of the opioid epidemic in Massachusetts,” according to the release. It includes a 100-page analysis of data from 2011 to 2015 and gives an overview of those in the state at the greatest risk for overdose.

“The Chapter 55 report was released for the first time in the fall of 2016 and is the only report in the nation to analyze more than 20 data sets from across state government and present new estimates of the percentage of Massachusetts residents with an opioid use disorder,” according to the release.

Among key findings in the update, according to the press release, was that non-fatal overdoses from 2001 to 2015 “increased approximately 200 percent, and the total number of non-fatal overdoses during that time exceeded 65,000.”

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.

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.

Dear Annie

By ANNIE LANE

Dealing With Money Later in Life Dear Annie: My husband and I are in our mid-80s. During our life together, we’ve rarely discussed money. But it seems that my husband has taken on a different view since we moved to a senior residence. He does not ever consider that seeing as we both share the expenses of living here, some money that comes to him should be shared with me. It is impossible to talk to him about it, as he gets very upset and defensive. I only want what I am entitled to. I am not a money grabber, but this is the mood that has taken over our daily lives. Something has to be done about his attitude and possessiveness in order for us to live peacefully and lovingly in our late years. Please help.

-- Sally Dear Sally: The fact that this was never an issue until now makes me think it has to do with your move to the senior residence. Perhaps after leaving your former home, your husband feels as if he gave up some control and controlling money is his way of coping -- but that’s just speculation. The only way to know for sure why he’s acting this way is to ask. Using a gentle tone, ask why this is important to him. Explain where you’re coming from and why this has been hurtful to you.

Discuss any concerns that have been on both your minds about adjusting to the new living situation. Emphasize that you want to spend these years enjoying each other’s company.

You’ve shared a wonderful life together so far. I truly believe this is nothing you two can’t solve using love and communication.

Dear Annie: This is in regard to “Future Benefactor in North Carolina,” who wanted to divide her estate unevenly in accordance with each child’s financial state. I would like to share how that can actually work well.

My husband has three siblings. One of the siblings had not managed to achieve financial stability. All of the money left over after funeral expenses went to the sibling with less, although it was not a large estate. The other siblings were fine with this. Depending on how the two wealthy children of “Future Benefactor” feel, this could work.

On my side, one of my brothers was cut out because Mom was unhappy with him and he had cost my parents some money in a financial deal. My brother never fought it. As the years have gone by since Mom’s death, he has struggled financially. I would have felt better if everything had been divided equally, even if he didn’t manage his inheritance well. It would have felt fairer.

When my mother-in-law’s estate was spilt unevenly to provide for the one with less, it worked for us. On my side, when it was divided unevenly to “get even,” it was sad. It all depends on motives and how the other parties feel about it. Our own children do not get along well. For this reason, our estate will be split evenly to prevent conflict. -- Both a Beneficiary and a Benefactor Dear Both a Beneficiary and a Benefactor: It’s encouraging to hear about family members working together and helping one another out rather than tearing one another apart over an inheritance. Though I maintain that a good rule is to split the estate evenly among all your children, every family is different. Do what’s right for you and your children.

HINTS FROM HELOISE A BACK-TO-SCHOOL HOOK Dear Heloise: Back-to-school time is here, and with my busy family, we are in need of ORGANIZATION! I decided that a good place to start for us was the mudroom. Before, it was a cluttered mess, with three kids and a husband dropping books, bags and boots back there.

Here is how I got everyone’s stuff together: * Hanging hooks gets book bags and backpacks off the floor.

Also, hooks are a good spot for seldom-used raincoats and umbrellas, hooded sweatshirts and winter coats. I hang some hooks lower for my young kids so they can reach. * Cleaning off the benches and donating old shoes and coats that don’t fit is a good way to make new space. * Each member of the family gets a basket that hangs over a tray, so icky items can drip-dry.

When we are organized, the household runs more smoothly!

Tina Fey returns to ‘Weekend Update’ to talk Charlottesville NEW YORK (AP) — Tiny Fey has returned to "Weekend Update" on "Saturday Night Live" to discuss the violence surrounding a white nationalist rally near her alma mater's campus in Charlottesville.

Fey sported a University of Virginia sweatshirt Thursday on "Weekend Update: Summer Edition."

She says it broke her heart to see "these evil forces" descend on Charlottesville.

She also criticized President Donald Trump for blaming "both sides" for the violence. She says, "Nazis are always bad. I don't care what you say."

She noted that another white nationalist rally is planned for Saturday in New York and joked that she hopes neo-Nazis in the city "get the ham salad kicked out of them by a bunch of drag queens."

Fey co-hosted the "Weekend Update" segment from 2000 to 2006.

YOUR

HOROSCOPE

Contract Bridge

By Jaqueline Bigar

DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Aug. 19, 2017: This year you show off your sunny personality, but often hold back with expressing your emotional depth. In fact, at times you could be surprised by feelings that arise from out of nowhere. If you are single, you express a lot of caring, but your message does not always get through. Relax when dating and getting to know someone. October could pave the way to a new bond. If you are attached, the two of you could feel more connected than you have in a while. Taking frequent timeouts together will be crucial.

CANCER can be very difficult for you to understand.

ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH You’ll want to throw yourself into living life to the fullest. You might be pleased by how you are able to bypass what has been holding you back. Invitations come forward, some of which will appeal to you greatly. Tonight: Do only what you want, and have a ball.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH A conversation between you and a close friend is likely to greatly affect both of you. Potential for confusion surrounds you and others. Verify plans, specifically the time and place. Do the same with important conversations as well. Tonight: Invite others over for a party.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Keep a conversation moving.

How you see life and your day-to-day interactions could be much different from how the majority of people see theirs. Curb a tendency to spread news too soon, to the extent that it seems more like gossip. Tonight: A surprise becomes possible.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You are on cruise control in the morning. Make calls and plans early on. You might hear so much news that you will want to change your plans in order to continue a conversation. Reach out to a loved one by giving him or her a token of your affection.

Tonight: Make it your treat.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might not feel up to snuff in the morning. Give yourself the opportunity to do nothing and be a couch potato. Realize that you have reason to feel worn out. Indulge in a little self-care and you will regain your vigor in no time. Tonight: You could be confused by a money matter.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH The morning allows others to put a smile on your face. Whether it is the plans you make or simply your joy of interacting with key people in your life makes little difference. Allow others to express their thoughts and personality. Listen well.

Tonight: Beam in more of what you want.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH A take-charge attitude opens up a door that typically might be closed to you.

Express your appreciation of a friend’s role in your life. A loved one manages once more to turn a situation upside down; at least this person keeps your life exciting. Tonight: At a fun happening.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Touch base with a loved one whom you consider to be very special. Your energy might be focused on a quick change and new possibilities. Accept the role of bringing others together for an important event. Demonstrate your interpersonal skills.

Tonight: Till the wee hours.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH You might be more in tune with a loved one than you realize. You give this person the space to make his or her own decisions. Recognize that your trust means a lot and puts your relationship on a different level.

Make unique plans for later. Tonight: Go on an adventure.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You could be overly tired and withdrawn. You might wonder when it would be best to have a long-overdue chat. Let the other party initiate this important talk.

Allowing this person to make the first move is nothing but intelligent. Tonight: In the whirlwind of the moment.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Get as many errands and projects completed while you can. A friend or loved one might feel as if you rain on his or her parade. Let this person make the first move.

You will be a lot happier if you don’t push too hard for what you want. Tonight: Certainly not alone.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You express the need to let go more and have a day that is a little less structured. You will see how energized you feel when that occurs. Learn the power of recharging your batteries more often. You will revitalize not only yourself, but also your daily life. Tonight: Order out.

THE WESTFIELD NEWS

NASCAR THIS WEEK SPEED FREAKS A few questions we had to ask ourselves Best bet to squeeze in a win before the playoffs?

GODSPEAK: Chase Elliott will win at Richmond and springboard into the playoffs.

KEN’S CALL: Going slightly against the grain, I’ll say Jamie McMurray at Darlington.

The Daytona Beach News-Journal’s Godwin Kelly & Ken Willis have covered NASCAR for nearly 60 years combined. godwin.kelly@news-jrnl.com ken.willis@news-jrnl.com

MICHIGAN

THREE THINGS WE LEARNED

Jimmie Johnson stinks right now. Worried?

GODSPEAK: This is how they operate. Get some early wins, go into idle, then mash the gas in September.

KEN’S CALL: A few weeks is nothing, several weeks barely a blip. But 2½ months is worth a team meeting.

Was Harvick right or wrong regarding Junior?

GODSPEAK: Kevin Harvick has the right to say whatever he wants, but even Junior said some of those comments were “hurtful.”

KEN’S CALL: Right to think it, maybe; wrong to say it out loud.

C U P S TA N D I N G S 1. Martin Truex Jr. 2. Kyle Larson 3. Kyle Busch 4. Kevin Harvick 5. Brad Keselowski 6. Denny Hamlin 7. Chase Elliott 8. Jamie McMurray 9. Matt Kenseth 10. Clint Bowyer

MOTOR MOUTHS PODCAST The Daytona Motor Mouths will wrap up the Michigan weekend, look ahead to Bristol, and bat around all the hottest topics.

Tune in online at www.news-journalonline. com/daytonamotormouths

Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

Are we tipping?

We’re leaning, for sure, and may indeed be smack-dab in the middle of the proverbial “tipping point” — that moment in time when everything changes. Young and presumably cheaper drivers (William Byron, Erik Jones, etc.) will be replacing older and more expensive drivers (Kasey Kahne, Matt Kenseth, etc.), while owners search for sponsorship answers in a sport that remains overly dependent on corporate partners. We’ll see how many veterans are willing to stay in NASCAR for less money and less speed.

Nothing personal?

Kyle Larson emerges from his No. 42 Chevrolet after winning his third consecutive race at Michigan.

[TEAM CHEVY/ANDREW COPPLEY/HHP]

1. ‘Mr. Two Mile’ again

2. Youth movement

3. Failure to launch

Kyle Larson is on one of the strangest winning streaks in NASCAR history. He not only has a three-race win streak at Michigan, but his four career Cup wins have come on 2-mile tracks. Larson is now tied with David Pearson and Bill Elliott with three in a row at Michigan.

Three of Sunday’s top-five finishers were drivers in their 20s, including the race winner.

Larson, 25, led the millennial charge, followed by third-place Erik Jones, 21, and fifth-place Trevor Bayne, 26. And just for good measure, they were driving different makes of stock cars.

Brad Keselowski had the fastest qualifying lap of the season (203.097 mph), led the most laps (105), but finished 17th. “It just didn’t come together there at the end, but it was nice to lead a bunch of laps,” he said. Kez, by the way, is only eight wins from becoming Roger Penske’s winningest driver.

— Godwin Kelly, godwin.kelly@news-jrnl.com

GODWIN’S PICKS FOR BRISTOL WINNER: Kyle Larson REST OF TOP 5: Ryan Blaney, Chase Elliott, Martin Truex Jr., Joey Logano FIRST ONE OUT: Ty Dillon DARK HORSE: Dale Earnhardt Jr. DON’T BE SURPRISED IF: Larson wins two straight Cup races — that is, unless Donny Schatz runs Bristol.

QUESTIONS & AT T I T U D E

THREE THINGS TO WATCH 1. Title preview?

Did we just see a sneak preview of the championship battle at Michigan International Speedway? Martin Truex Jr. and Kyle Larson have dominated the regularseason points standings.

Truex has opened a gap on Larson thanks to the young driver’s points being taken away by penalties here and there. Larson is second in playoff points. Truex has 35 to Larson’s 18.

With three races left in the regular season, there is a fourway battle brewing for the last three playoff spots. Chase Elliott occupies position No. 14 with a 10-point cushion on Jamie McMurray, who is 21 points ahead of bubble boy Matt Kenseth, who is in the precarious 16th-place position. Clint Bowyer is in 17th

FEUD OF THE WEEK KASEY KAHNE VS. DANIEL SUAREZ: They made contact as Kahne was completing a pass of Suarez. “I was trying to give him some room,” Suarez said, pleading innocent.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: The crash did more harm to Suarez, but Kahne was not happy. “I was going by him, so I don’t really understand why we hit, but we did,” Kahne said.

W H AT ’ S O N TA P

Was the race at Michigan a preview of a looming championship battle between Kyle Larson (42) and Martin Truex Jr. (78)?

[NASCAR GETTY IMAGES/MATT SULLIVAN]

2. Bubble boys

It’s a well-used defense when someone has seemingly demeaned a colleague: “Hey, nothing personal.”

But Kevin Harvick basically said Junior Earnhardt hasn’t lived up to the attention he receives. To some onlookers, Harvick wasn’t wrong in that assessment. But practically by definition, it was certainly personal.

place, 31 points behind the 2003 Cup Series champion. An upset win by an outsider will tip the apple cart.

3. Junior comments Kevin Harvick made some candid remarks about Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s popularity happening without having overwhelming success, which

he says has hurt the NASCAR brand. Junior said no apology is necessary. “I would appreciate a conversation,” Earnhardt said. “I know Kevin and I’ve known him for a long time. I feel like it would be great to sit down and discuss what he said, what he meant.”
