Pilot identified in fatal crash By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Massachusetts Air National Guard has identified the pilot killed in a crash Wednesday morning as Lt. Col. Morris “Moose” Fontenot Jr., 41, of Longmeadow. He was a highly decorated combat veteran. Col. James Keefe, 104th Fighter Wing Commander, said in a press release late Friday morning that the family has asked that the unit “share with the public the name of the pilot who was fatally injured Wednesday” in the crash which occurred in the rugged mountainous terrain of the Washington National Forest near Deerfield Valley, Virginia. “On behalf of the family of our fallen pilot and with a sense of profound sadness, I am sad to share that Lt. Col. Morris “Moose” Fontenot Jr., was killed tragically in Wednesday’s F-15 crash,” said Keefe. “We all continue to keep the Fontenot family in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.” Keefe said Thursday night that crash investigators were hampered by the terrain and the fact that fires were still burning at the crash site.
Fontenot was flying the single-seat plane to New Orleans for a radar system upgrade when he crashed Wednesday in western Virginia. Officials say he reported an in-flight emergency before losing radio contact. “On-scene crash investigators notified (the 104th) at 1700 Hours (5 p.m.) that the pilot was deceased, that the pilot did not survive the incident,” Keefe said at a press briefing held outside the gate of the base at Barnes Regional Airport at 10 p.m. Thursday. “Investigators were able to enter the crash site (Thursday) afternoon,” Keefe said. “The pilot did not safely eject from the aircraft. The pilot had died as the result of the crash.” The pilot had declared an in-flight emergency just before 9:00 a.m. Wednesday morning. The F-15C Eagle crashed at approximately 9:05 a.m. Radio contact with the pilot was lost about 5 minutes earlier. The Washington Center Air Traffic Control in Washington, D.C. lost radio contact with the F-15C aircraft stationed at the 104th Fighter Wing, Massachusetts at approximately 9:05 a.m. Wednesday and at 9:30 a.m. the 104th Fighter Wing learned that the aircraft had crashed in a remote site near Deerfield Valley,

Grant awarded for Hampton Ponds By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) has approved a $9,000 matching grant for removal of an aquatic invasive plant in Hampton Ponds. The DCR’s Partnerships Matching Funds Program is providing $6,000 with a local matching grant of $3,000 for the Hampton Ponds Association invasive species control program which was first initiated in 2009. The Conservation Commission approved an order of conditions to allow the application of the herbicide Reward to control Milfoil, an invasive species which was clogging the waters of the Hampton Pond systems. The Hampton Pond Association’s consultant presenting the proposal to remove the invasive aquatic plants to the commission in 2009 was Aquatic Control Technologies, Inc. of Sutton, Massachusetts. “The Matching Funds Program is a great example of responsive government,” said Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) Secretary Maeve Vallely Bartlett. “Our communities and nonprofit partners sent us their ideas and will now work side-by-side with DCR. This public-private partnership will help improve parks and facilities that are important to the public, their families and communities.” “With these investments, DCR continues its commitment to protect, promote and enhance our natural, cultural and recreational resources,” said DCR Commissioner Jack Murray. “DCR is fortunate to have a broad base of active, dedicated partners throughout the Commonwealth who are committed to our vision of shared stewardship. We look forward to strengthening our existing relationships and cultivating new opportunities to partner with the public.” Program awardees will be recognized at an event with Secretary Bartlett and Commissioner Murray at the State House on Thursday, September 4, 2014 at 10 a.m. in the Great Hall. The Partnerships Matching Funds Program accepts applications from friends groups and other park advocacy groups, civic and community

Former Celtics star Chris Herren will speak about his rise to fame, fall into addiction, and his recovery during a public speaking engagement Sept. 15 at Longmeadow High School.
Former Celtics star to speak on addiction By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer LONGMEADOW - Former Celtics star Chris Herren took his game as high as he could go, then fell as low as a person could go. The basketball legend from Fall River will be sharing the story of his harrowing descent into addiction and miraculous recovery in an evening event at Longmeadow High School (LHS) on Sept. 15 at 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. Herren lived the dream of every high school athlete. He broke scoring records, was courted by top colleges, featured in Sports Illustrated, became the focus of an acclaimed book Fall River Dreams, and played for the Celtics in the NBA. He lost it all to addiction: first alcohol, then cocaine and oxycontin, and finally heroin. Herren has been clean and sober since 2008 and has refocused his life to put his sobriety and family above all else. Since 2009, Chris has trained over 200 basketball players through Hoop Dreams with Chris Herren, Inc., including some of the top basketball prospects in New England. In 2011, Chris founded The Herren Project, a nonprofit foundation that educates at-risk populations and helps others in taking the first steps toward recovery. Several LHS students and parents heard Herren speak at the Basketball Hall of Fame last fall and were inspired to bring him to LHS. He will be speaking to all high school students during two daytime assemblies on Sept. 15. Then he See Addiction, Page 3

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Legislative & Ordinance Committee of the City Council has slated a public meeting to discuss a proposed ordinance to move downtown bus stops and eliminate parking on Elm Street in front of the Westfield Athenaeum and United Bank. L&O Chairman Brian Sullivan slated the public meeting for 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 3. The meeting, which is open to residents and stakeholders affected by the bus stop plan, will be held in the City Council Chambers. “This will be an opportunity for members of the public to weigh in on these proposed changes and to ask questions,” Sullivan said. “The city has requested the PVTA (Pioneer Valley Transit Authority) to send a representative to provide information to council members
BRIAN P. MARY L. SULLIVAN O’CONNELL and members of the public. Sullivan said that the proposed ordinance was requested by the PVTA because of modification in their service from downtown to the campus of Westfield State University and between Westfield and Springfield. See Agenda, Page 3
Scrap metal swindler ordered to repay By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A Springfield man was ordered to pay a local construction company $47.05 in restitution, among other fines, in Westfield District Court Friday. Jesus Medina-Viera, 23, of 50 Windsor Street, Springfield, submitted to facts sufficient to warrant a guilty finding on charges of larceny under $250 and trespassing brought by Westfield Police after the owner of a local construction company came
upon a man and a Chevrolet pickup truck on Fuller Construction’s Union Street property. In the court’s statement of facts, the owner of the property, Don Fuller, said he confronted the individual shortly before 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, April 17. The man said he had permission from the owner to take scrap metal from the property, which is adorned with a “No Trespassing” sign. See Scrap, Page 3
Board to use overlay to lower tax rate By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – The Board of Selectmen met with Town Accountant Carol DellaGiustina during a scheduled public hearing on the tax classification Thursday night. DellaGiustina told the board before it could set the classification, which it is set to do at its next meeting, the board had to decide whether or not to use overlay funds to lower the rate. DellaGiustina said the board could use about $100,000 to lower the rate – which was set at $16.99 per thousand dollars of valuation. “We can use overlay from 2015, which would bring it down to $16.89,” DellaGuistina said. “My suggestion is to leave a little in the overlay account for refunds and abatements.”
DellaGiustina said there is typically about $200,000 in the overlay account. If not used to reduce the tax rate, it must remain in the account. DellaGuistina said it can take several years to resolve an abatement and the funds need to be available. Board Chairman Russell Fox suggested a compromise. “Why don’t we split the difference at $50,000?” Fox said. DellaGuistina said that would lower the rate to approximately $16.94. The board unanimously approved the measure, made into a motion by Selectwoman Tracy Cesan, and will decide whether to have a single or split rate at its next meeting. Historically the town has had a single rate due to the small number of commercial business in Southwick.

Slice of Princess Diana’s wedding cake auctioned LOS ANGELES (AP) — A 33-year-old slice of cake from Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s 1981 wedding has sold at auction for $1,375. The cake, still in its original white and silver presentation box, was sold online Thursday by Nate D. Sanders Auctions of Los Angeles. With the box was a card stating, “With best wishes from Their Royal Highnesses, the Prince & Princess of Wales.”
Auction house spokesman Sam Heller says the buyer is a private collector. Although the cake came wrapped in its original wax paper, Heller says it wouldn’t be a good idea to try to eat it. He adds, however, that there is a small but dedicated group of royal cake collectors. Some, Heller says, have purchased cakes dating to the days of Britain’s Queen Victoria, who married in 1840.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Saturday, August 30, the 242nd day of 2014. There are 123 days left in the year.
O
n August 30, 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, which was intended to promote private development of nuclear energy.
On this date: In 1861, Union Gen. John C. Fremont instituted martial law in Missouri and declared slaves there to be free. (However, Fremont’s emancipation order was countermanded by President Abraham Lincoln). In 1862, Confederate forces won victories against the Union at the Second Battle of Bull Run in Manassas, Virginia, and the Battle of Richmond in Kentucky. In 1905, Ty Cobb made his major-league debut as a player for the Detroit Tigers, hitting a double in his first at-bat in a game against the New York Highlanders. (The Tigers won, 5-3.) In 1945, Gen. Douglas MacArthur arrived in Japan to set up Allied occupation headquarters. In 1963, the “Hot Line” communications link between Washington and Moscow went into operation. In 1967, the Senate confirmed the appointment of Thurgood Marshall as the first black justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. In 1983, Guion S. Bluford Jr. became the first black American astronaut to travel in space as he blasted off aboard the Challenger.
In 1984, the space shuttle Discovery was launched on its inaugural flight. In 1986, Soviet authorities arrested Nicholas Daniloff, a correspondent for U.S. News and World Report, as a spy a week after American officials arrested Gennadiy Zakharov, a Soviet employee of the United Nations, on espionage charges in New York. (Both men were later released.) In 1987, a redesigned space shuttle booster, created in the wake of the Challenger disaster, roared into life in its first fullscale test-firing near Brigham City, Utah. In 1989, a federal jury in New York found “hotel queen” Leona Helmsley guilty of income tax evasion, but acquitted her of extortion. (Helmsley ended up serving 18 months behind bars, a month at a halfway house and two months under house arrest.) In 1991, Azerbaijan declared its independence, joining the stampede of republics seeking to secede from the Soviet Union.
Ten years ago: Republicans opened their national convention in New York, with speakers belittling Democratic Sen. John Kerry as a shiftin-the-wind campaigner unworthy of the White House and lavishing praise on President George W. Bush as a steady, decisive leader in an age of terrorism. President Bush ignited a Democratic inferno of criticism by suggesting on NBC’s “Today” show that an all-out victory against terrorism might not be possible.
Five years ago: Voters in Japan ousted the country’s conservatives after more than a half century of rule and put the untested Democratic Party of Japan in control. The space shuttle Discovery docked at the international space station, delivering a full load of gear and science experiments. Chula Vista, California, came up big late to win the Little League World Series, defeating Taoyuan, Taiwan, 6-3.
One year ago: Indonesia’s highest court upheld a death sentence for Lindsay Sandiford, a British woman convicted of smuggling $2.5 million worth of cocaine into the resort island of Bali. Seamus Heaney, 74, who won the Nobel Prize for literature and gained a global reputation as Ireland’s greatest poet since William Butler Yates, died in Dublin.

Following Active Duty assignments in Washington D.C., Japan, Idaho, Florida, Alaska and numerous deployments to the Middle East, Lt. Col. Fontenot joined the Massachusetts Air National Guard in February 2014. Fontenot was a decorated combat veteran, earning the Meritorious Service Medal, Air Medal, Aerial Achievement Medal, Air Force Commendation Medal, Air Force Achievement Medal, and Combat Readiness Medal among others. Keefe said the investigation into the crash is ongoing and that it may take several weeks to recover the wreckage of the

aircraft and begin to determine the cause of the crash. The site is between 3,000 and 4,000 feet above sea level. “The site is very remote, very scheduled and heavily wooded,” Keefe said. “It could take three weeks or longer to determine the reason for the crash and why the pilot was unable to eject. Investigators are looking to the flight data recorder.” The pilot was operating the aircraft at high elevation, around 40,000 feet, to conserve fuel when the pilot declared an inflight emergency and contact was lost. Dignified transfer and memorial announcements will be made through official channels once releasable.

Agenda
Tolland: Library Trustees at 9 am
Continued from Page 1 A proposed ordinance “relative to codifying bus stops and taxi stands in the city of Westfield” was submitted to the council last week under communication from the mayor portion of the agenda and referred to the L&O for further review. The proposed bus stop and parking changes sparked concern by several members of the City Council. Ward 4 Councilor Mary O’Connell suggested that the City Council conduct a formal public hearing process. “This ordinance makes changes downtown,” O’Connell said. “It takes four parking spaces at the library and United Bank for two years for a bus stop.” The Elm Street site will be used for a bus stop until construction of the PVTA facility on Arnold Street is completed. Ward 2 Councilor Ralph Figy said the proposed bus stops also eliminates a taxi stand on Elm Street and the two Main Street bus stops in front of Rocky’s Ace Hardware and the Stop & Shop supermarket, but will increase parking spaces on the north side of Main Street (in front of Rocky’s) that will become available to patrons of the nearby Senior Center. Sullivan responded to O’Connell’s request by stating that his committee will conduct an informational meeting and that he, as chairman, will exercise his discretion to allow participation by all in attendance. “It should be a public meeting, not a public hearing,” Sullivan said. “The meeting is more informal, but still enables people to comment and get information.”

will speak again the same evening at an event open to the whole community. LHS Substance Abuse Response Coordinator Shelly Warren, MSW, LICSW, said Herren’s story is one that students must hear. “It is not only a story of addiction, but of hope,” Warren said. “He has been in recovery since 2008 and students need to hear that he has refocused his life on his family and reaching out to people.” Warren said he is a powerful speaker who inspires his audience and encourages them to make healthy choices, something she does daily at LHS. “Addiction can happen to everyone, but so can recovery,” said Warren. Warren said his addiction is something that speaks to people today. “We are in the midst of an opiate epidemic,” she said. “Longmeadow is not immune to that.” The events have been sponsored by Longmeadow Safe Homes Network, the LHS Chapter of Students Against Destructive Decisions, the LHS Parent Advisory Council, Longmeadow Booster Clubs, Phoenix House, the Hampden County DA’s Office, Chase Clark Stewart & Fontana Insurance Agency and Hadley Printing Company. Warren said in addition to Herren’s speaking engagement, the LHS chapter of Students Against Destructive Decisions will host the Project Purple Initiative Sept. 15. “This is to encourage students to stand up to substance abuse and remain substance-free,” said Warren, adding that students will be asked to sign a pledge and wear a purple wristband to show their support of the Purple Project. Admission to the community speaking event is free of charge but Warren said tickets should be reserved in advance at www.lhsherren.eventbrite.com.

Scrap
Continued from Page 1
When Fuller identified himself as the owner of the property and told the man to put back the scrap metal he had already loaded onto his truck, the man drove off with the items, which included steel doors, rebar, and assorted pieces of aluminum. Fuller was able to get the plate off the vehicle, which was found to be registered to a Norma Medina of Springfield, who Westfield Police spoke to the day after the theft. Medina said her brother Jesus Medina-Viera had borrowed the truck the day before. Authorities discovered that Medina-Viera had sold the materials – 440 pounds of steel, 34 pounds of aluminum and six pounds of dirty wire – to Chet’s Auto Wrecking in Springfield at 10:48 a.m. on April 17 and received $47.05 for the assorted metals. Westfield Detective Anthony Tsatsos said in the statement of facts that he spoke with Medina-Viera, who he said admitted to taking the metal but maintained that he had permission from the owner to do so, at which time Tsatsos informed him that he would be charged with larceny under $250 and trespassing. After submitting to facts sufficient to warrant a guilty finding on both charges Friday, Medina-Viera was given a continuance without finding until February 27, 2015, and was ordered to pay $390 in fees, in addition to the $47.05 to Fuller.

Ward 3 Councilor and Off-street Parking Commission Chairman Brian Hoose said the ordinance is being proposed to address Westfield State University transportation of students between downtown and the campus. “The university plans to have a shuttle bus going between downtown and the campus every 20 minutes,” Hoose said. “They are utilizing a full-sized bus, not a smaller bus. The idea is to consolidate all of the bus stops in one space, and add more parking on Main Street in front of the Senior Center.”

organizations, institutions, businesses and individuals with an interest in improving the Commonwealth’s natural, cultural and recreational resources. DCR considers applications that will provide a match of non-state funds for capital projects in state parks. For each approved project, DCR assigns a project manager to oversee implementation of the project in close consultation with the partners making contributions. The City of Westfield, through the Community Development Department, facilitated the Hampton Ponds Association grant by funding the local $3,000 matching component. “We’re very excited about this money that we’re getting,” association member Barbara Giroux said Friday. “We were put into the funding pool and are one of the organizations being awarded a grant.” Association member Donald Ledger said the grant will be used to fund the fifth application of the herbicide. ‘Our first application was 50 acres, about half of the area of the pond,” Ledger said. “That initial application cost about $35,000.” “After that we began fundraising to pay for the maintenance applications which cost between $7,000 and $8,000,” Ledger said. “We’re only doing it every other year. We were down to spot applications.” Ledger said it became more difficult to raise the necessary funds when the city stepped in to assist the association with the program which benefits the environment, pond area residents and people using the ponds for recreation. The environmental benefit is that by controlling the invasive and prolific aquatic plant, native species have the opportunity to recover. Milfoil is difficult to control because mechanical harvesting only spreads the plant. Pieces broken off the plant during mechanical harvesting drift to other areas of the water body and take root. “It’s something that has to be maintained to stay on top of it,” Ledger said.

McConnell’s campaign manager resigns By Elizabeth Titus Politico.com Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s campaign manager, Jesse Benton, announced his resignation late Friday, citing potential distractions over a recent guilty plea stemming from a controversy in the Iowa 2012 caucuses. A longtime associate of Ron Paul and his son, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, Benton was the surprise choice to run the McConnell campaign in Sept. 2012 — even before the current election cycle began. Benton’s departure comes days after a former Iowa GOP state lawmaker pleaded guilty to charges of accepting money to change his endorsement in 2012 from Michele Bachmann to Ron Paul. Benton was the chairman of Paul’s 2012 campaign. He has not been accused of wrongdoing in the case. “The press accounts and rumors are particularly hurtful because they are false,” Benton said. “However, what is most troubling to me is that they risk unfairly undermining and becoming a distraction to this reelection campaign.” Benton’s appointment in 2012 was seen as a marriage of convenience between McConnell — seeking to shore up his right flank — and the younger Paul, who was looking to build up his establishment cred ahead of a possible presidential bid. The tension was most clearly on display when Benton was recorded telling a group that he was “holding my nose” working for the Senate minority leader. In the Iowa case, then-state Sen. Kent Sorenson, who was a paid operative on Bachmann’s campaign, accepted tens of thousands of dollars from people connected to the elder Paul’s campaign — payments that were not disclosed to the Federal Election Commission. Sorenson now faces up to 25 years in prison after his guilty plea to one count of causing a federal campaign committee to falsely report its expenditures to the FEC and one count of obstruction of justice. In a statement published in Politico Campaign Pro’s Morning Score Friday morning, before news of the resignation, a McConnell spokesperson said in a statement that “Sen. McConnell obviously has nothing to do with the Iowa presidential caucus or this investigation so it would be inappropriate for his campaign to comment on this situation.”

Obama’s campaign no-fly zone By Carrie Budoff Brown and Jennifer Epstein Politico.com In an election that Republicans want to make all about President Barack Obama, the White House is determined to make him all but disappear in the battleground states that matter. The White House is putting the finishing touches on a post-Labor Day schedule that will send the president to states where he’s still popular, such as: Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Illinois and California, Obama officials and Democratic operatives said this week. But in the red states that will determine control of the Senate, Obama will remain scarce. That means no personal campaign visits to states like Arkansas, Alaska, Louisiana and North Carolina. He may do some targeted outreach through robocalls, digital ads and conference calls, but the campaign plan is clear: Stay away from candidates he’s already hurting. Obama’s no-fly zone for certain Senate campaigns reflects the deep concern among Democrats about his drag on the national ticket. Obama can’t seem to get his poll numbers out of the low 40s, he’s struggled through an endless stream of foreign policy crises, and he’s the last person that many candidates want to be forced to defend on the campaign trail. Six years ago, Obama’s massive campaign organization helped to sweep several Senate Democrats, now the most endangered, into office with his appeal to unite political factions. Now, he’s an attack line. Across the country, from Alaska and Colorado, to Louisiana and North Carolina, Republicans are citing how often the Democratic incumbent sided with the White House on votes in Congress. It’s a tactic Democrats used to great effect in 2006 when they wrestled back control of the Senate by linking every incumbent to President George W. Bush, who was even more unpopular than Obama. “He’s going to be an anchor on each one of these Democrats all the way through,” said Guy Harrison, a media consultant for the Republican Senate nominees in Arkansas, Colorado and North Carolina. “They’re trying to grasp every life preserver they can, but the anchor of Obama is still going to pull them down.” White House officials argue that Obama never would have been deployed to assist red state Democrats, even at the height of his popularity. The better, more effective use of his time is to assist in states with key House races, such as Illinois, Pennsylvania and California, a senior administration official said. Obama still retains strong support in the Democratic base, and he can motivate AfricanAmericans and Latinos like few others can. “It will ramp up as time goes on,” the official said. Party operatives also expect Obama to help Democrat Charlie Crist in his bid for Florida governor, and perhaps Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, who is trailing Republican Bruce Rauner, and Michigan Democrat Mark Schauer, who is trying to unseat Republican Gov. Rick Snyder. The White House hasn’t made any final decisions on the schedule since the needs around Labor Day could shift by October, the official said. “We’ll take him anywhere, anyhow, any way,” Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.), the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. “Wherever he thinks he can be helpful, we would love to have him.” Israel and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) briefed Obama on the state of play in House races before the president left for his Martha’s Vineyard vacation. Their requests aren’t as politically challenging. They have asked him to visit New York, California and Illinois, where there are a cluster of races in each state. Obama also has made fundraising appeals through emails, and headlined nine events so far for the DCCC. The president remains the top draw on the fundraising circuit. He and Hillary Clinton are scheduled to headline a mid-September event for the Democratic National Committee’s Women’s Leadership
Forum. Obama’s message to donors: Liberal voters tend not to show up in midterm elections, as witnessed in 2010, and Washington gridlock is the fault of GOP lawmakers. “The problem is not that we’re too mean or we’re too partisan,” Obama said at a fundraiser in May. “The problem is that I don’t have enough votes. Full stop.” But for Democratic incumbents in top-tier Senate races, the Obama association is like a dead weight. His recent trips to states with competitive contests have been fraught with clumsy choreography between the candidates and the White House. When Obama arrived in North Carolina on Tuesday to speak at the American Legion’s annual meeting, Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan — along with Republican Sen. Richard Burr — greeted him on the tarmac and gave him a kiss on the cheek. But by the time Air Force One touched down in Charlotte, she had already pulled up the welcome mat, attacking his management of the Department of Veterans Affairs as a means of differentiate herself from the president. In prepared remarks for her own speech to the convention released ahead of the president’s visit — though she didn’t speak until after him — she added that the administration “has a long road ahead to restore the faith and trust of our veterans.” Thomas Mills, a Democratic strategist who runs the website PoliticsNC, said the visit “didn’t hurt or help her.” But, he added, “my guess is [her campaign] is hoping like hell he doesn’t come back into the state before November.” Hagan’s opponent, state Rep. Thom Tillis, has made a point of attacking her ties to the president, releasing an ad this week, citing a statistic from Congressional Quarterly that she voted with Obama 96 percent of the time. Obama traveled to Colorado last month in part so that he could speak at a fundraiser for Udall. But as Obama got to Denver, Udall chose to stay in Washington, to vote for the confirmation of Julián Castro as secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Udall’s campaign said it wasn’t a political decision to skip the event, and other Democrats suggested that neither option was great, since he would have been attacked for skipping a confirmation vote in favor of a fundraiser. For his opponent, Rep. Cory Gardner, the incident is emblematic of Udall’s campaign. “Nobody has run faster from the president than Mark Udall,” Gardner said. “He sprinted when the president came to Denver in July.” Udall had already foreshadowed his wiggle out of a joint appearance in January, when he resisted a CNN reporter’s questions about whether he wanted Obama to campaign for him. “We’ll see what the president’s schedule is, we’ll see what my schedule is,” he said. “But Coloradans are going to reelect me based on my record, not the president’s record.” On the campaign trail, he’s emphasized his independent streak, pointing to his efforts to reform national security surveillance programs. But, Gardner said, it’s all an attempt to distract from the fact that he voted with Obama 99 percent of the time in 2013. “Mark Udall is one of the Obama senators,” the congressman said, referring to the eight Democrats first elected in 2008. “He simply cannot escape the fact that he’s been at Barack Obama’s beck and call.” A Gardner campaign video released ahead of the visit features a clip from a 2008 rally where Udall introduced Obama: “Let me utter two really sweet words: President Obama.” Sen. Mark Begich (D-Alaska) hasn’t been shy in his efforts to distance himself from Obama, explicitly saying he doesn’t want the president in his state. Like other Republicans challenging Democratic incumbents, Begich opponent Dan Sullivan is pushing back. On Wednesday, at their first debate, Sullivan called the first-term senator a “rubber stamp” for national Democrats including Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). “It’s a continual theme — 97 percent,” Sullivan communications director Mike Anderson said, referring to the percentage that Begich voted with Obama on issues. “You are a loyal foot soldier for the Obama administration and you haven’t been very effective in getting anything back for the state of Alaska.” The Democratic campaigns challenge their opponents’ use of statistics showing their candidates voting with Obama since they take into account votes on which the president took a clear position. In 2013, he took a position on 37 percent of the Senate’s votes, and all of the Senate Democrats voted with him at least 90 percent of the time. Another set of data, produced by OpenCongress, tracks the percentage of votes that a senator makes with his or her party. On that list, most of the endangered incumbents are among the least likely Democrats to vote with their party. Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) has focused her efforts to differentiate herself from the president on energy policy — a key issue in Louisiana — and her support for the expansion of offshore drilling and the approval of the Keystone XL pipeline. She has called the administration’s policies “simply wrong.’ Her opponent, Rep. Bill Cassidy, has also chosen to counter that by reminding voters that she sided with Obama on 97 percent of the votes on which he had taken a position. “The people of Louisiana do not support President Obama 97 percent of the time, but Senator Landrieu does,” Cassidy spokesman John Cummins said in a statement. “Senator Landrieu’s lockstep support has now emboldened the president to be even more extreme, because he knows the Senate will not stand up to him.” The Landrieu campaign fought back through a series of folksy ads in May, featuring the senator and her father, Moon Landrieu, a former mayor of New Orleans. Capitalizing on her strong family name, her father ran through all the ways she has fought the administration and big corporations like BP on behalf of Louisiana. Noting that Russian President Vladimir Putin placed Landrieu on a list of American officials banned from traveling to his country, Moon Landrieu whispered to the camera: “And now you know why Putin won’t let her into Russia.”

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers
HOT TOPICS: 3 ISSUES GENERATING A BUZZ
SPEED FREAKS
Penske Power
A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves
Getty Images/CHRIS TROTMAN
Looking for answers, looking for speed, looking for a break … and Kasey’s hoping for a Chase ticket. AP/WADE PAYNE
How surprising is Kasey Kahne’s season of struggles?
Who ordered express delivery of a HANS?
When you look at the current standings and see the guys who are battling to make the Chase, his name definitely jumps out at you. He was, after all, on everyone’s list of championship contenders entering 2014. Of course, all of those opinions followed the words, “In case Jimmie Johnson doesn’t win again …” So, yes, surprising, but not exactly shocking.
What rating do you give Hamlin’s toss of his HANS?
GODSPEAK: It didn’t look like he did a complete windup, so I would have ruled it a balk. KEN’S CALL: No more than a 5, but a HANS is awkward to throw; should’ve chucked the steering wheel.
OK, why not shocking? Kasey Kahne’s numbers show that throughout his 11-year Cup career, just when you get accustomed to seeing him as a real contender, he takes a step back. Won six times in ’06, none in ’07. Tenth in points in ’09, 20th in 2010. Consecutive Chase berths and four total wins in 2012-13, and now this year’s flop.
Is Darlington regaining its Labor Day date a good thing?
GODSPEAK: It is fantastic. Certain races belong on certain holidays, and this is the right fit for the Southern 500. KEN’S CALL: Yes, for the romantics, but remember how hot it gets there? Remember to pack the Gold Bond.
How ’bout a disclaimer? You got it: Having said all that, Kasey Kahne can still become the 2014 Cup champ. A win in the next two weeks, or a mild points rally, and he’s Chasin’, and once Chasin’, everyone has a chance (well, except Aric Almirola and AJ Allmendinger).

Joey Logano, Brad Keselowski and, we’re guessing, a laptop tuned to a website that contains the secret to racing momentum (“Go fast, turn left, repeat”). The most impressive team of the 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series may be Team Penske, which has six wins and both of its drivers squarely qualified for the Chase playoffs. Penske “twins” Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski flexed their motor muscles Saturday night at Bristol Motor Speedway by sweeping the top two positions. Logano matched Keselowski’s win total of three, and now some think the Cup Series championship could be decided between these young drivers. Keselowski won the 2012 title and liked the taste of champagne (and his sponsor’s beer, of course). “We’re entering the Chase strong in a lot of different ways, and I think we’re both legitimate threats to win the championship this year, and I’m proud of that,” Keselowski said. “Hopefully we can keep that momentum rolling in weeks to come. As far as Bristol and the rest of it is concerned, running second is certainly something to be proud of.” Keselowski has been in the championship fight before and won. This will be new territory for Logano, who has excelled since leaving Joe Gibbs Racing. “I think he (Logano) has a tremendous shot at winning the championship, and I don’t underestimate him,” Keselowski said. “I don’t want to speak for my competition and what they think; I’ll let them speak for themselves.” Logano said don’t overestimate or underestimate his No. 22 Ford team, which seems to be hitting its stride at just the right time.
CAGE MATCH It looks like Matt Kenseth will get into the Chase on points since he is 41 points ahead of 14th-place Ryan Newman. Greg Biffle is 16th in points, but if a new winner emerges at Atlanta this Sunday, that would bump him out of the Chase standings. If that happened, then Clint Bowyer, Newman and Biffle — who are separated by just 16 points — would be slugging it out at Richmond for the final Chase position, either by going for the win or gaining points on the drivers in this scramble.
DENNY HAMLIN
KEVIN HARVICK
Denny Hamlin vs. Kevin Harvick: Hamlin was leading the race at Bristol when Harvick came along and wrecked him out of the race. Godwin Kelly gives his take: “Both these drivers are strong-willed. This will either escalate or go away very quickly. There’s no in between.”
DREAM WEEKEND Ford had a dream weekend at Bristol. Ford machines swept all three NASCAR races — Trucks, Nationwide, Cup. Ford hasn’t won all three national series at the same track on a race weekend since 2006, when Mark Martin and Matt Kenseth did it for Roush Fenway Racing at Bristol. Ford Racing’s nine Cup wins this season are the most for the manufacturer since 2008, when it enjoyed 11 victories. And just for the record, Logano’s win was Ford’s 627th all-time Cup Series victory and the 35th by Team Penske with Ford.

FEUD OF THE WEEK
“We’re gonna go out there and do the best we can do,” he said. “Do what we’ve been doing. (Crew chief) Todd Gordon and myself have been working very good together and communicating a lot with our race car. We’ve got a really good shot.”
Winner: Kasey Kahne Rest of the top five: Ryan Newman, Greg Biffle, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Matt Kenseth Dark horse: Martin Truex Jr.
Disappointment: Joey Logano First one out: Kurt Busch Don’t be surprised if: We see a 13th Cup Series driver get a win at this fast, slippery track.

BRISTOL REWIND
Austin Dillon talks about gaining experience and looks ahead Austin Dillon is not only battling Kyle Larson for Sprint Cup Rookie of the Year, but he has only two more chances to make the Chase playoffs. The driver of the No. 3 Chevy is 19th in points and 40 points behind 16th-place Greg Biffle. Dillon has to win at Atlanta or Richmond, or gain serious ground in points, to make the Chase. Dillon talked to the media before Saturday’s Cup Series race at Bristol. Are you feeling a sense of panic to win a race? How are you going to approach the last two races before Richmond?
“If you look at us right now I would probably say you are right as far as what the points look like. For me being a rookie, I don’t have much to lose. There has never been a rookie make the Chase. “Atlanta … I’m really looking forward to. I don’t feel a huge sense of urgency. I hope we can put our Dow Chevrolet in the Chase.” What are a few of the things you would do differently if you had that chance? “It’s such a long season. I did the same thing in Truck and Nationwide after the first year. I sat
down and had to re-evaluate myself at the end of the year. “You just have to take it to another level. There is always that level that you have to push yourself to, and you don’t realize that level — at least for me — until you have experienced a full year. “I was able to come back and win championships in the other two series after our first year. I would love to be able to do that in the Cup Series. I think it’s a possibility. “You just have to reset and set goals higher and then, also I think, as far as keeping your body
mentally and physically in shape for the entire year. I feel like I’m physically in shape … I think mentally the Cup Series is draining because of how long it is. You learn that and how to cope with it. I feel like I’ve figured it out, but there is a lull section of our series where you go through a lot of different tracks and you have to stay focused during that era.” “Looking back, I could probably have improved on some of those races, and now having a notebook going back for those races is just going to help. Anytime you get experience it is just better.”

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Any suggestions? Dear Annie: I am one of four adult children. Our father died a couple of years ago. Three of us have our own homes. One sister, “Diane,” has been married twice and has lived with numerous men and was kicked out when each relationship ended. She has no place that she owns. Our mother has told us that after she is gone, Diane will get the house and still share a quarter of the remaining assets. Dad was not in agreement with this, but Mom outlived him. In the past few years, Mom has spent at least $10,000 “fixing up the house” for our sister, sometimes at Diane’s suggestion. Diane moved in with our mother and treats her badly. She doesn’t spend much time with Mom, but when she does, she is terribly rude and condescending to her. It’s more than we can stand. Mom has dementia and is getting worse. The house is filthy, and Diane becomes angry if we try to clean it. What can we do without a full family blowup? We all agree it is elder abuse, but don’t know what to do. -- Heartbroken Daughter Dear Heartbroken: A full family blowup is the least of your worries. You have to protect your mother. The National Council on Elder Abuse (ncea.aoa.gov) offers a list of state resources for reporting abuse, including Adult Protective Services in Mom’s area. You also can call the Eldercare Locator at 1-800-677-1116 for resources and assistance. Dear Annie: I have a question about tipping in hotels. I always tip for the number of nights I stay. If I checked in on Monday, I would leave a tip on Tuesday and again prior to my checking out on Wednesday. I thought this was correct. Recently, we needed extra towels. I walked the note to the front desk and added a tip, telling the front desk clerk that we were leaving in the morning and would like the room made up early. The desk clerk thanked me on behalf of the housekeeping staff and assured me that the tip would be passed on. But when I spoke to the housekeeper later that day, she said she didn’t receive the tip. When I asked the desk clerk, she said she had been instructed by the manager to give the tip to the housekeeper who made up the room prior to our Monday check-in. Was the manager correct? When I tried to leave a tip for the other gal the next day, I discovered that was her day off. How best can I make this up to her? What do I do in the future? -- Tipping Quandary from Ohio Dear Ohio: You are correct to leave a tip for the housekeeper each day of your stay, because you never know who is cleaning your room on any given day. The problem occurred because you handed the tip to the desk clerk, and the manager gave it to someone else. If you insist on making it up to the housekeeper, send the tip to the hotel with her name on the envelope. But in the future, we’d leave tips on the dresser and ask for extra towels by calling the front desk from your room. Dear Annie: You’ve printed several letters from those who feel inadequate about the cleanliness of their homes due to comments from family members. I am clean and organized, but that is not always evident in my home. As my children were growing up, I found it much more important to take them to the park, museums, plays, the library and the zoo. My husband and I coached sports and were leaders of their school groups, etc. Our children will remember those activities and be influenced by them for a lifetime. People should live life instead of trying to clean it up. If it bothers others, it is their problem. Your true friends won’t care whether there’s dust on the furniture. We all end up as dust anyway. -- Been There, Learned From It Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net
HINTS FROM HELOISE TRAVEL HINT Dear Heloise: My family and I love to take road trips. We often stop several times at little hotels or motels. Always take all of your luggage inside. Don’t take only what you need and leave the rest in the car. If your car is broken into or stolen, the thieves may get your car and most of your luggage, too! Depending on your car insurance, you might not get reimbursed for anything but the car. It can be a hassle to drag all of the luggage in, but it is well worth it. -- Kelly in Kentucky A good thought. A thief might break into the trunk only. When David and I are on the road, he always BACKS into the space, and that area usually is lighted. Do check home and auto insurance before a trip! -- Heloise SHOWER SEAT Dear Heloise: My mother has a shower seat that she uses. She was having a problem with slipping when the seat got wet and soapy. We got some inexpensive shelf liner and cut it to fit the seat. No more slipping! -- Hallie in Alabama Smart and safe! You also can use a washcloth or hand towel in a pinch. -- Heloise DOUBLE DUTY Dear Readers: I have many potted and hanging plants. Whenever I go around and water my plants, I put a plastic bag over my arm and carry scissors with me. When I see dead leaves or something that needs to be trimmed, I use the scissors to snip, and into the bag it goes. That way, I don’t have to make another trip just for that. -- Heloise

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Aug. 30, 2014: This year you will be more prone to excess. Your self-discipline seems to be off, and it could become a problem. Friends surround you often, and your popularity grows. Your communication skills also become even better. If you are single, you are likely to meet someone who seems exciting. Only time will tell if this person is truly emotionally available. Remember, there are other fish in the sea. If you are attached, keep communication flowing, and don’t get involved in little spats. SCORPIO knows how to trick you into sharing a secret! The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Whatever your plans might be, use your instincts. Make sure you also relax. You tend to worry or get nervous. This is not the time or day for such stress. Kick up your heels, and head off to a baseball game or go join your friends at a local spot. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.” TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You will be out of ideas until someone starts sharing his or her weekend plans. This person even might invite you along. Be more spontaneous; you will enjoy the change of pace. Do not bring your personal life into your work life, or vice versa. Tonight: Let it all hang out. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH A friend might question your judgment as you spend time with someone this person simply can’t relate to. Honor an opportunity to clear the air; otherwise, you could be backed into a corner. Keep discussions light and easy. Tonight: Only do what you want. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your sense of direction will be tested. A question could trigger more thoughts and possibilities than you might have expected. You’ll realize the provocative nature of what was said so innocently. Avoid a conflict at all costs. Tonight: Toss yourself into the festivities. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Excitement marks your interactions with others. A loved one seems to be full of surprises. Your imagination is strong enough to baffle many people, but one person could shock you with his or her creativity. Make plans more often together. Tonight: The action is at your place. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH You have a tendency to tell it like it is. Your ability to get past someone’s resistance could surprise you. This person is likely to let his or her guard down, and it might force you to rethink how you relate to him or her. Be kinder than you usually are. Tonight: Till the wee hours. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You tend to get very involved in festivities only to regret it later. Try not to overindulge, and you will be happier. Stay focused, and spend some special time with a family member. A party or casual get-together will be hard to resist. Tonight: Wherever the party is. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH You’ll lead others toward the appropriate festivities for this long weekend. With any luck, an offbeat idea will pay off. A parent or older friend might not want you to forget him or her. Make it your pleasure. Tonight: Others depend on you; don’t decide on a quiet night. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You could be in the midst of a conflicted situation. Consider how much of the problem might be coming from your perceptions. Ask for feedback from someone you respect and who can tell you the truth as he or she sees it. Tonight: Stay close to home. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Make a point of touching base with your friends right now. You won’t want to leave someone out when planning a party. How you see a difficult situation could change with the hospitable mood you are in. Let bygones be bygones. Tonight: Only where the crowds are. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Listen to what someone older chooses to share with you. As a result, you’ll get a better sense of this person and where he or she is coming from. Be aware of what is happening with a loved one. Listen well, and you will be rewarded. Tonight: Off to a get-together. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Make it OK to invite someone to a get-together at the last minute.

Crosswords
Even if you live several hours away from each other, this invitation will mean more to this person than you might realize. Friends could play an instrumental role in the events of the next few days. Tonight: Be merry.

Newly acquired Wright could play TE for Patriots FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The newest New England Patriots player seems to be fitting right in. Tight end Tim Wright caught four passes for 43 yards in the Patriots’ exhibition finale on Thursday night, about 48 hours after he was traded to New England from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Patriots gave up offensive captain and six-time Pro Bowl guard Logan Mankins for Wright, who is competing for a spot as backup to oft-injured Rob Gronkowski. “I think the big thing for Tim last night was just the opportunity to be in our system and play in our system,” Patriots coach Bill Belichick said in a conference call with reporters on Friday. “He only knew a handful of plays, but overall I thought he handled the situation pretty well.” Belichick said Wright gained experience with the nitty-gritty of the team’s offense: observing how the team handles substitutions and audibles, hearing the snap counts and watching adjustments made on the sideline. Belichick said he was glad to have even one preseason game to get Wright onto the field, rather than seeing him for the first time during the regular season. “I think he learned a lot,” Belichick said. “We can see in working with him that he’s pretty far along on these things and maybe not as far along on maybe something else, so I think that was the benefit last night.” When healthy, Gronkowski can dominate games, catching 132 passes with 27 touchdowns in his first two seasons. But he broke his left forearm while blocking for an extra point in the 11th game of the 2012 season, a 59-24 win over Indianapolis. He missed the first six games of the 2013 season before returning, then he blew out his knee on Dec. 8 and had surgery in January. Gronkowski hasn’t played during the preseason, and Michael Hoomanawanui, the No. 2 tight end, has also been out for much of training camp; another tight end, D.J. Williams, is out with a left leg injury. The Patriots shuffled in potential replacements before trading for Wright. Wright said it was no problem getting used

From left are 2014, file photos showing Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Tim Wright, and New England Patriots’ Logan Mankins. The Buccaneers addressed a need to upgrade their struggling offensive line by obtaining six-time Pro Bowl guard Logan Mankins from the Patriots for tight end Tim Wright and a draft pick. (AP Photo/File) to his new team. “Football is football so it’s easy to get prepared,” he said after the game. “We’ve got great coaches to get me ready and I was ready to go.” Jimmy Garoppolo, who is competing for the backup quarterback job, said Wright was an intelligent player who learned his role fast. “He picks it up very quickly and he’s pretty athletic, too,” the second-round draft choice from Eastern Illinois said. “He had a heck of the game, along with all the other tight ends and receivers and running backs.” Belichick agreed that Wright absorbed a lot of information in a short amount of time. “There’s certainly a lot of fine-tuning that needs to be done, but he picked all that up pretty quickly and when he got into the game didn’t forget it,” the coach said. “Sometimes it’s one thing to sit in the meeting and go over it and feel like yeah, you’ve got it, and OK, you hear this you’re going to do that. It’s another thing to actually go out there and do it at full-speed in a game situation. He handled quite a bit of information in a short amount of time pretty well, so that was good.”

All unclaimed prizes after thirty (30) days will automatically be forfeited. Westfield News Group, LLC is at liberty to give away any unclaimed prize at the end of the thirty- (30) day grace period. In the event that a winner voluntarily chooses to not accept a prize, he/she automatically forfeits all claims to that prize. Westfield News Group, LLC then has the right, but not the obligation, to award that prize to a contest runner-up. Westfield News Group, LLC may substitute another prize of equal value, in the event of non-availability of a prize. Employees of Westfield News Group, LLC and their families or households are ineligible to enter/win any contest. All contestants shall release Westfield News Group, LLC, its agencies, affiliates, sponsors or representatives from any and all liability and injury, financial, personal, or otherwise, resulting from any contests presented by Westfield News Group, LLC Additions or deletions to these rules may be made at the discretion of Westfield News Group, LLC and may be enacted at any time. Contestants enter by filling out the “Beat the Putz” pick sheets, included in Monday through Friday’s editions of The Westfield News. Copies of entry forms will not be accepted. Contestants choose one team to win each game from the list of NFL games for that particular week. The winning entry will be the one with the most wins on Sunday. In the event of a tie among more than one entry, the Sunday night game score will be used as a tie-breaker. Contestants are to choose the total number of points scored in the Sunday night game. To be given credit for the tiebreaker, the contestant must come closest to the total points scored in the game. Westfield News Group, LLC will award a maximum of one (1) prize per week. The exact number of prizes awarded each month will be decided by Westfield News Group, LLC in its sole discretion. The prizes to be awarded each week will be determined by Westfield News Group, LLC In the event that there are more eligible winners than the number of prizes awarded for a particular week, Westfield News Group, LLC will randomly select one winner for that particular week. Winner is determined by most correct games won. The tiebreaker is used when more than one entry have the same number of wins. At that point, the total number of points given by the contestant will determine winner. In the event of a game not being completed, that game will not be considered in the final tabulation for that week’s games. The grand prize winner will be selected by a random drawing of all entries better than “The Putz” from throughout the entire 17-week regular season. This contest is merely for entertainment purposes. It is not meant to promote or to facilitate gambling or illegal activity.

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.
