Rehabilitation starts on Columbia Greenway river crossing

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—Work has begun to connect two city parks and the Columbia Greenway over the Westfield River.

Rehabilitation work has begun on the abandoned railroad trestle that is over the Westfield River near Elm Street, known as the Columbia Greenway North segment. The project, which is being funded with about $3.7 million in Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) funds, according to city engineer Mark Cressotti, as well as additional city funds, will eventually connect parks on either side, as well as provide a pedestrian bridge along the Columbia Greenway.

“The Friends of the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail are very enthusiastic of what’s going on and the level of encouragement from the community has been very much appreciated,” Sandy Sorrell, vice-chair and director of resource development for the Friends of the Columbia Greenway, said. “We want this to go forward.”

The bridge is going to connect two portions in the city over the Westfield River, which will then extend the Greenway.

“It will connect Women’s Temperance Park with the esplanade with a dedicated bridge to the Columbia Greenway,” Cressotti said.

“The work they are doing now is the rehabilitation for the bridge,” Jeremy Cigal, assistant civil engineer for Westfield, said.

According to Cigal, this step, which is being done by Atsalis Brothers Painting, Co., includes cleaning the structure, painting, as well as minor structural repairs. Cressotti said that this also includes scaffolding under the existing bridge.

“It’s pretty old, so minor structural maintenance and the painting are a big part of the repairs,” Cigal said.

Cigal said that if all goes as planned, then this step of the rehabilitation process will be done by the end of this year.

“Once all that is done—which is hopefully the end of this year—they will do sidewalk enhancements next year,” he said.

According to plans from the engineering department, the project is expected to be around 455 feet. In addition, there are plans for landscape modifications and sidewalks being placed on either side of the bridge. Also, lighting and rails will be placed along the pedestrian bridge.

By AMY PORTER Correspondent WESTFIELD – The Community Preservation Committee (CPC) heard a request for funding for accessibility rehabilitation from the Westfield Woman’s Club on Thursday evening. Susan West, president of the WWC Foundation asked the committee to consider helping the historic building, built in 1914 and located at 28 Court Street to become handicap accessible.

“People can’t come to events. Members can’t access the building,” West said.

Westfield Woman’s Club president Lillian Hebert said through the years, everyone has wanted to come to the theater at the club. She said most of the complaints they receive are around accessibility, including programs that are held in the reception room downstairs.

“We have tried other avenues,” Hebert said.

CPC chair Joe Muto said that Community Preservation Act funds may be used for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) access, but that the committee has previously focused on the building envelope. The request by the WWC was for an LULA/lift and exterior entrance from Holland Street to the theatre and reception room, a lift to the stage in the theater, an ADA accessible restroom in the basement and additional life safety upgrades, for a total request of $169,830.

West said the plan includes pulling out

windows to create an external shell using a piece of the façade for the entrance to the elevator, so the look of the building is not significantly changed. She said the club hired Architectural Insights of Palmer who created the plan, and are asking for 90% of the funds. West said they would fundraise for the remaining funds.

Robert Haveles of Architectural Insights said the nature of that era of building was to make a design statement by elevating the first floor, which increased the basement ceiling and windows, but which created accessibility challenges. He said the most practical solution was the external enlargement on Holland Street, the most accessible side of the building.

West said an additional bathroom in the basement level that is handicap accessible would be less expensive than making existing bathrooms ADA accessible.

Park and Recreation CPC representative Vincent Olinski asked if the amount of the request triggered any other fire codes, to which Haveles replied that it didn’t. “We’ve had other groups come forward with requests that have had asbestos issues, and (the work ended up) three times the original cost,” Olinski said. Haveles said they hadn’t checked for hazardous materials as yet.

Olinski also asked if they had applied for Community Development Block Grant funds. Community Development

By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent WESTFIELD – The Westfield Fire Department responded to a fire on Holyoke Road just before 8 a.m. on Friday morning. According to Deputy Chief Mark Devine, the fire resulted from the motor of a bathroom ceiling exhaust fan overheating and catching fire.

Three fire engines, a ladder truck, an ambulance, and Deputy Chief Devine were on scene and were able to put the fire out in 15 minutes by using a dry chemical extinguisher. Another 15 minutes was spent for inspection purposes, making sure the fire didn’t spread to anywhere else inside or outside of the residence.

“Basically the fire was contained within the bathroom ceiling,” said Devine.

Smoke detectors are what alerted the three people inside the home when the fire occurred.

Devine estimated that about $5,000 worth of damage was done to the property.

State budget could be impactful to hilltowns

director Peter Miller responded that since the Woman’s Club was a private membership organization, they didn’t qualify for CDBG funds.

“My understanding has always been to use CPA funds for public projects. I see it (the request) akin to someone with a historical home asking us to paint it for them,” said CPC vice chair Thomas E. Sharp from the Conservation Commission.

“I’m not a member, but I go to every play. I think it’s not just a private entity,” said Cynthia Gaylord, CPC member from the Historical Society.

Hebert said the building is open to the public for rentals, but West said they have had to limit rentals to a degree because of the accessibility issues.

Ward 4 Councilor Mary O’Connell said that

By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent SOUTHWICK – It was announced earlier this week that the state’s Fiscal Year 2018 budget had been approved by both the Senate and the House of Representatives. The budget now awaits Governor Baker’s decision.

Senator Donald Humason Jr. (R) indicated that he had requested local program funding for the 11 cities and towns that he represents in the 2nd Hampden and Hampshire District. There is a combined $500,000 of funds from Humason’s line items.

Although both the House and Senate have approved the budget, Gov. Baker still has to decide whether to approve or veto the entire budget or some of the line items included.

For Southwick, $50,000 would be going towards safety upgrades for their public schools which was welcome news as Southwick Town Officials have been working on improving safety in the schools.

“We have obviously been spearheading anything we could do as a community,” said Select Board Clerk Russ Fox. “Our concern as a community is the well-being of not just the students, but the staff as well.”

Southwick Police Chief David Ricardi explained the various training that the police and the school district have worked to implement into the buildings over the years. Besides doing active shooter training at the schools once or twice a year, Ricardi mentioned that he has recently jump-started a software program, called COPsync, that makes direct contact from each room in a school right to the police cruisers that are in the area. Ricardi presented this program to the school committee last year and is expecting it to be in effect in September.

School Resource Officer Mike Taggart described some of the upgrades that could be made with the $50,000 in funds, including new radios and “go-bags” for classrooms. The gobags consist of a brightly-colored bag that would have a complete list of all children in that specific class, along with water, hygiene products,

Several Westfield-based projects have potential for funds in state budget

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—The state’s House and Senate both passed a compromised budget earlier this week and several items within that budget could impact some efforts within the city.

Both of the state’s Representatives and Senators voted in favor of the budget on Monday, July 10, and within that budget, there are funds currently earmarked for four Westfieldbased initiatives. The funds total $150,000, and are now going for consideration to Gov. Charlie Baker, along with the rest of the budget.

The four projects that have funds currently within the budget are as follows: $50,000 to celebrate the 350th anniversary of the City of Westfield; $25,000 for safety upgrades and restoration work at the Westfield

Thoughts from the Westfield Gas & Electric It’s a busy season…

It’s hard to believe that we are roughly at the halfway mark of summer. While this time of year provides opportunities for time off and relaxation for many, here at Westfield Gas + Electric (WG+E) and Whip City Fiber (WCF)it means that we are deep into our construction season.

This year it’s been busier than ever.

In April, we began further expansion of Whip City Fiber to the southeast portion of Westfield. If you haven’t already heard about WCF, it’s Westfield’s fastest internet service delivered over a high-speed fiber optic network. Crews have been hard at work bringing this technology into new areas. Drive around town and it’s hard to miss the bucket trucks and giant spools of fiber cable. Our current build schedule will cover over 70% of Westfield residences by the end of next year.

Currently, we are reviewing additional design and construc-

Fiber for phone, internet, and access to streaming television programming.

Other customers tell us that they’re just not sure how to go about changing from their current provider. Some of the concerns we hear are that they want to be able to keep the same television programming,they may currently have a contract with their cable provider, or they may not simply understand how “streaming” works. This is where we believe WCF shines… in the knowledge, performance,and dedication of our customer service representatives and technicians. These employees are second to none at assisting customers and will work hard to get you the information you seek.

We know there are many out there who don’t know where to start or even what questions to ask. We have set up a number of ways to help you more fully understand this great new service. You may call us at 572-

Additionally, we have regular hours at Amelia Park Ice Arena on Tuesdays from 5:007:00 pm and Saturdays from 10:30 am-12:30 pm. And finally, you can find us at the Westfield Senior Center on July 18 and 25 from 10:30 am-12:00 pm.

No Whining: Pope’s humor intact despite rough few weeks VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis hasn’t lost his sense of humor despite a rough few weeks of clamorous exits of top Vatican officials and some other negative headlines.

He has hung a sign on the door of his hotel suite reading: “No Whining.” In smaller print the sign continues: “Transgressors are subject to a syndrome of victimization and the ensuing reduction of a sense of humor and capacity to resolve problems. Sanctions are doubled when the violation is committed in the presence of children.”

City Council is on hiatus until the end of August (next meeting August 24) but many of us are still working on constituent services and upcoming municipal legislation.

The matter of approving Private Ways as Public Roads is still very much in the forefront and on the agenda of the Legislation and Ordinance sub-committee. We have a draft list of streets to come before the Council later this summer/early Fall. The request will come in the form of a Home Rule petition to the State Legislature to allow us to re classify many private streets to public streets. Please reach out to your City Council if you have questions on whether your street is on this list.

On Thursday, the Community MARY Preservation Committee approved a O’CONNELL recommendation to the City Council to allow $250,000 in preservation funding to go towards the design phase of the Columbia Bike Trail. Kudos to Councilor Oniski for taking the lead on this proposal. It was at his suggestion during budget cut meetings that we apply for this funding for the design portion of the trail project. He has been an ardent supporter of the use of these funds and last night the vote by the Community Preservation Committee occurred and passed.

I do have some concerns about the legality of using CPC funds for this project BUT was re-assured that the Law Department has approved the use of this funding source as completely legal. The use of CPC funding for rail trails is an approved type of project. The disconnect for approval may come because of the way in which the rail trail was acquired and funded by the City. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts reviewed and re wrote the Community Preservation guide lines in 2012. The law allows for use of CPC funds IF the trail is categorized as “Recreational Land”. If the trail is simply “Recreational Open Space” then the funds use will be disallowed. We must follow all applicable law on this funding procedure. We, as a City, have all learned the hard way how expensive it is if we do not follow procedure as evidenced in the delay of the proposed elementary school project. The legal determination on the use of CPC funds to rail trail design will be made prior to our City Council vote on this matter.

The Westfield Chamber of Commerce held its Annual Breakfast this past Thursday and it was a smashing success.

The breakfast was held in the cafeteria of the South Middle School and it worked well for all attending including the many vendors present.

One group attending and promoting their goal is Westfield 350. Our City is looking forward to our 350th Anniversary on May19, 2019. A Board, Friends of Westfield 350, has been formed and is diligently working on events to mark the year of our birth. We have a website and a Facebook page.

The election season is heating up. There are incumbents and new candidates running for office. Please listen to what these folks say and promise to do and what goals they propose. It is easy to check on fulfilled campaign promises from incumbents. Ways to do this are by looking at their voting records, reviewing their creation of legislations (motions before council), attendance, and analyzing campaign funding reports. For example, if the bulk of a candidate’s funding comes from out of the City and from organized Labor, one might well ask where their loyalty lies. If a candidate has missed many Council meetings I would question their commitment. We each have our opinions on what makes a good elected official and it is important to truly study each candidate that comes before us. In reviewing qualifications of new comers, I would suggest looking at their past community involvement, education, and work background, all important factors.

Best wishes for a great and safe summer.

Update from At Large Councilor Allie I was born and raised in Massachusetts. I love this state.

After serving in the Army in Europe, living in different areas, my wife and I chose to live and raise our family in Westfield because of the schools, the many wonderful people we had met, and it does not feel like a big city.

As a student of history, my main concern with Massachusetts is that the “cradle of Liberty” and the “birthplace of the American Revolution” has become a hotbed DAN ALLIE of complacency; big government intervention controlled by powerful special interests, over regulation and unfunded mandates. A bloated government that no one asked for and few of us can afford that continues to grow.

We spend billions each year subsidizing a public transportation system, but cannot repair our roads. Why is the British company Pearson controlling our national curriculum, testing and performance standards for America, (in violation of federal law) and teaching most of the world? Why did we spend four hundred million dollars on two healthcare connector websites, when we could have simply signed a waiver from the now failing Obamacare, since we were “the model” for it?

Why is our state building code being written by the International Code Council, rather than our national fire chiefs and building professionals?

In my lifetime, Massachusetts has lost three Congressional districts due to declines in population. Anyone who tells you we are moving in the right direction probably has a personal interest in doing so. Most of us know family and friends who have moved and are making it, anywhere but Massachusetts.

A government big enough to give you everything you want; is a government big enough to take everything you have.

Our founders gave the keys of the republic to the people, “if they can keep it.” President Abraham Lincoln addressed the hope and concern of a young nation that had endured much, {that} “we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

This should be the hope of every man, woman and child of each American generation, if “the last, best hope on earth” is to continue to be free and prosperous.

The self-interest of the common man and women will See Allie, Page 7

Travel ban ruling paves way for more refugees but appeal set

By ALICIA A. CALDWELL and ELLIOT SPAGAT Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — A court decision on President Donald Trump's travel ban has reopened a window to tens of thousands of refugees to enter the United States and the government is looking to quickly close it.

The administration said Friday that it would appeal directly to the U.S. Supreme Court after a federal judge in Hawaii ordered it to allow in refugees formally working with a resettlement agency in the United States.

U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson also vastly expanded the list of U.S. family relationships that refugees and visitors from six Muslim-majority countries can use to get into the country, including grandparents and grandchildren.

The ruling Thursday was the latest twist in a long, tangled legal fight that will culminate with arguments before the nation's high court in October.

It could help more than 24,000 refugees who had already been vetted and approved by the United States but would have been barred by the 120-day freeze on refugee admissions, said Becca Heller, director of the International Refugee Assistance Project, a resettlement agency.

"Many of them had already sold all of their belongings to start their new lives in safety," she said. "This decision gives back hope to so many who would otherwise be stranded indefinitely."

Citing a need to review its vetting process to ensure national security, the administration capped refugee admissions at 50,000 for the 12-month period ending Sept. 30, a ceiling it hit this week.

The federal budget can accommodate up to 75,000 refugees but admissions have slowed under Trump and the government could hold them to a trickle, resettlement agencies say.

"Absolutely this is good news for refugees, but there's a lot of uncertainty," said Melanie Nezer, spokeswoman for HIAS, a resettlement agency. "It's really going to depend on how the administration reacts to this."

Attorney General Jeff Sessions said the administration will ask the Supreme Court to weigh in, bypassing the San Francisco-based 9th U.S Circuit Court of Appeals, which has ruled against it in the case.

The justices allowed a scaled-back version of the travel ban to take effect last month.

"Once again, we are faced with a situation in which a single federal district court has undertaken by a nationwide injunction to micromanage decisions of the co-equal executive branch related to our national security," Sessions said. "By this decision, the district court has improperly substituted its policy preferences for the national security judgments of the executive branch in a time of grave threats."

The administration took a first step by filing a notice of appeal to the 9th Circuit, allowing it to use a rule to petition the high court directly. There's no timetable for the Supreme Court to act, but the administration will be seeking quick action that clarifies the court's June opinion.

The justices now are scattered, so any short-term action would come in written filings.

The administration has lost most legal action on the travel ban that applying to citizens of Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Libya, Iran and Yemen, severely blunting its impact.

The Supreme Court's ruling exempted a large swath of refugees and travelers with a "bona fide relationship" with a person or an entity in the U.S. The justices didn't define that connection but said it could include a close relative, a job offer or admission to a college or university.

The Trump administration defined the relationship as those who had a parent, spouse, fiance, son, daughter, son-in-law, daughter-in-law or sibling already in the U.S. Watson enlarged that group to include grandparents, grandchildren, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.

Hawaii Attorney General Douglas S. Chin, who sought the broader definition, said Thursday's ruling "makes clear that the U.S. government may not ignore the scope of the partial travel ban as it sees fit."

In this photo provided by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Rinat Akhmetshin is photographed at the Newseum in Washington, June 13, 2016 after a documentary screening. Rep. Adam Schiff, ranking member on the Senate Intelligence Committee says reports that a second Russian person was in a meeting with Donald Trump Jr. last summer "adds another deeply disturbing fact about this secret meeting." Akhmetshin confirmed his participation to The Associated Press on SATURDAY, JULY 15, 2017. (Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty via AP)

Russian-American lobbyist joined Trump’s son’s meeting, too

By DESMOND BUTLER and CHAD DAY Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — A prominent Russian-American lobbyist and former Soviet military officer attended a meeting with President Donald Trump's son, son-in-law and campaign chairman last year, the lobbyist said Friday, adding a new wrinkle to the Trump team's evolving explanations about the June 2016 session.

Rinat Akhmetshin confirmed his involvement to The Associated Press in an interview. He had not been previously identified as a participant in the meeting at Trump Tower in New York, which was billed as part of a Russian government effort to help the Republican's White House campaign.

The meeting has heightened questions about whether Trump's associates coordinated with Russia to meddle in the presidential election — to help him and thwart Hillary Clinton — and whether they've been forthcoming about their foreign contacts. Federal and congressional investigators are probing possible connections between the campaign and Moscow.

Akhmetshin has been reported to have ties to Russian intelligence agencies, a characterization he dismisses as a "smear campaign." He's a well-known Washington presence, lobbying for Russian interests trying to undermine the allegations of a lawyer who died in a Russian prison and is the namesake of a U.S. sanctions law.

Akhmetshin told the AP he served in the Soviet military in a unit that was part of counterintelligence but he was never formally trained as a spy.

In emails posted by Donald Trump Jr. earlier this week, a music publicist said he arranged the meeting because a Russian lawyer wanted to pass on negative information about Democrat Clinton. The go-between stated that the discussion was part of a Russian government effort to help the GOP candidate.

While Trump Jr. has confirmed that Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya was in the meeting, he has not disclosed Akhmetshin's presence. The president's son has publicly discounted the meeting, saying he did not receive the information he was promised.

In a statement Sunday, Trump Jr. said the attorney had said she had information that people tied to Russia were funding the Democratic National Committee and supporting Clinton, a description that Akhmetshin backed up in his interview with the AP. In his first public interview about the meeting, Akhmetshin said he accompanied Veselnitskaya to Trump Tower where they met an interpreter. He said he had learned about the meeting only that day when Veselnitskaya asked him to attend. He said he showed up in jeans and a T-shirt.

Veselnitskaya brought with her a plastic folder with printedout documents that detailed what she believed was the flow of illicit funds to the Democrats, Akhmetshin said. Veselnitskaya presented the contents of the documents to the Trump associates and suggested that making the information public could help the campaign, he said.

"This could be a good issue to expose how the DNC is accepting bad money," Akhmetshin recalled her saying.

Trump Jr. asked the attorney if she had sufficient evidence to back up her claims, including whether she could demonstrate the flow of the money. But Veselnitskaya said the Trump campaign would need to research it more. After that, Trump Jr. lost interest, according to Akhmetshin.

"They couldn't wait for the meeting to end," he said.

Akhmetshin said he does not know if Veselnitskaya's documents were provided by the Russian government. He said he thinks she left the materials with the Trump associates. It was unclear if she handed the documents to anyone in the room or simply left them behind, he said.

Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and current White House senior adviser, and then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort also attended the meeting. Akhmetshin said he recognized Kushner and Trump Jr. He also said he recognized Manafort because they worked in "adjacent political circles" but never together.

He said there were others in the room but he didn't know them. Publicist Rob Goldstone, who brokered the meeting via email with Trump Jr., has told the AP that he was there.

Asked about Akhmetshin's participation, Manafort spokesman Jason Maloni declined comment. Trump Jr.'s attorney did not respond to inquiries, nor did a spokesman for Kushner.

Veselnitskaya has denied having any ties to the Russian government. When reached by the AP this week, she declined comment. She did not respond to additional attempts to contact her Friday.

The confirmation of Akhmetshin's participation in the meeting drew swift reaction from the top Democrat on the House intelligence committee.

Rep. Adam Schiff of California said whether Akhmetshin is connected to Russian intelligence or not "it is clear the Kremlin got the message that Donald Trump welcomed the help of the Russian government in providing dirt on Hillary Clinton." Schiff said Trump Jr.'s omission of Akhmetshin's role in his public account of the meeting and the president's son's shifting explanations "paint a portrait of consistent dissembling and deceit."

Kushner disclosed the meeting on his security clearance paperwork, but Schiff said the Akhmetshin revelation raises questions about how much Kushner disclosed about it. He said he believes Kushner's clearance should be reviewed, and "if he was not perfectly candid," the clearance should be revoked.

Akhmetshin, who spoke to the AP while on vacation in France where he said he has been surfing, said the meeting was "not substantive" and he "actually expected more serious" discussion.

"I never thought this would be such a big deal to be honest," he said.

The Russian government has denied any involvement or knowledge of the June 2016 meeting. Asked Friday about Akhmetshin, Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, told reporters: "We don't know anything about this person."

Akhmetshin has been identified in media reports as a former officer in Russia's military intelligence service known as the GRU. He has denied that, saying he served in the Soviet Army from 1986 to 1988 after he was drafted but was not trained in spy tradecraft. He said his unit operated in the Baltics and was "loosely part of counterintelligence."

Akhmetshin said he has not been contacted by the U.S. special counsel's office or the FBI about the meeting with Trump Jr. He said he's willing to talk with the Senate Judiciary Committee, whose chairman has pressed the Justice Department about why Akhmetshin has not registered as a foreign agent.

The chairman, Republican Chuck Grassley of Iowa, said in a March letter that Akhmetshin has "reportedly admitted to being a 'Soviet counterintelligence officer' and has a long history of lobbying the U.S. government for pro-Russia matters."

Akhmetshin said that the Justice Department's Foreign Agents Registration Act unit sent him a letter in April and told him, "it has come to our attention you should have filed for FARA." He said he didn't believe he needed to file. He has previously registered with Congress for the lobbying work, and he plans to raise this issue before Grassley's committee.

"I think I have a legal right to tell my story," he said.

Separately on Friday, the data and digital director for Trump's presidential campaign said he will speak with the House Intelligence committee later this month as part of its own Russia probe.

Brad Parscale said in a statement that he is "unaware of any Russian involvement" in the data and digital operations but will voluntarily appear before the panel.

University janitor facing deportation gets brief reprieve BOSTON (AP) — A Massachusetts Institute of Technology janitor who's gained support from politicians and activists while facing deportation to El Salvador has been granted a temporary reprieve.

A federal judge Friday ordered U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to keep Francisco Rodriguez in the United States pending a Monday hearing.

ICE on Thursday denied Rodriguez's request to block his removal and detained him for immediate deportation.

Rodriguez has been in the U.S. since 2006 and was denied asylum in 2011. He's been granted a number of temporary reprieves while pursuing legal options.

His case has become a flashpoint for local labor and immigrant activists opposed to President Donald Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration. The Republican president says he wants to keep the country safe.

Democratic U.S. Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Edward Markey and Rep. Michael Capuano have voiced support for Rodriguez.

Representative Velis aims to breakdown barrier to Vets’ Health Care in western Mass.

Representative John Velis and the Joint Committee on Veterans and Federal Affairs held a hearing Thursday on bills that seek to improve the way the Veterans of Western Massachusetts get around. Among the bills being heard was one Velis filed that would allow local veterans to use Pioneer Valley Transit Authority buses for free in order to get to their medical appointments at the VA in Leeds.

“We have a lot of veterans, particularly in Western Massachusetts, who are living on fixed incomes and can’t get to their appointments,” said Velis. “It is important for us to try and give back as much as possible to the people who have given so much for their country. My hope is that this bill would break down at least one of the barriers preventing our vets from accessing appropriate health care.”

The current PVTA fare is $1.25 per ride. This means that veterans with weekly appointments could spend up to $130 a year just to go to and come home from their doctor’s appointments on the PVTA. “Travelling to and from appointments shouldn’t have to be a such a hassle for our veterans, and they certainly should not have to pay bus fare to get to the VA. The appointment is free- why not the ride?” Velis continued. “Plenty of other states have had policies like this one for a while now.

Massachusetts should continue to put the needs of its veterans at the forefront by instating this common sense program.”

Indeed, Massachusetts would be following the lead of states like Minnesota, Wisconsin and New Jersey in providing free transport to the VA. Velis is hopeful that the Veterans and Federal Affairs Committee, which he vice-chairs, will release the bill with the support of the PVTA in the next few months.

Massachusetts Governor Baker remains opposed to GOP health care bill BOSTON (AP) — Republican Gov. Charlie Baker said Friday a preliminary review by his administration of the latest version of the Senate GOP health care bill has not changed his view that it would be harmful to Massachusetts.

"This proposal would leave more people uninsured, eliminate certain essential health benefits, further destabilize insurance markets, reduce federal funding and negatively impact important family planning services, " Baker said in a statement.

The concerns echoed those the governor outlined in a letter to the state's all-Democratic congressional delegation last month after the release of the initial Senate Republican plan for repealing former President Barack Obama's health care law. Majority Leader

Mitch McConnell later withdrew the first proposal when it became clear that not enough GOP senators supported it.

That initial plan, the Baker administration See Bill Opposed, Page 7

Band-Aids, etc. These are all items that could be important if an entire school has to evacuate the building for a certain reason.

Taggart also noted that each school office in the district would have a bag filled with megaphones and radios so they can communicate with staff during an evacuation.

These are all items that Taggart believes could make a major impact in the near future.

“It would be a huge step forward for us,” said Taggart.

Just minutes down the road, Tolland could see $100,000 earmarked for a DPW building since their last one was destroyed in a November 2016 fire.

Reported by the Westfield News on Nov. 21, 2016, the total cost to the town as a result of the fire was estimated to be near $2 million in structure, vehicles and equipment.

While putting the state’s FY 2018 budget together, Humason saw a perfect opportunity to help his constituents by appropriating $100,000 towards a new

Despite Tolland DPW Director Ed Deming saying he is very happy to have heard the possibility of $100,000 going to the town, he declined to make an official comment until Gov. Baker makes his decision about the budget.

she previously served on the WWC board. “I can’t tell you how many people use it for christenings and family events,” she said, adding that there is an interest in using the building for events like public debates, but that the accessibility gets in the way.

O’Connell also called the building an anchor of the city that was supposed to be a mirror image of the Athenaeum.

by Amy Porter) Westfield Housing Authority representative Daniel Kelly called the request “a great project.”

“I’m a firm believer that anyone who puts in an application, we should help,” Kelly said, adding that he didn’t agree with Sharp’s rejection of using CPA funds for private entities.

City planner Jay Vinskey said the WWC would receive a Historic deed restriction with the funds that would prevent changes to the exterior of the building in perpetuity. Kelly also said that he agreed there might be issues with asbestos and lead paint.

“I think you’ve certainly put the work into this. As many have said, it is an anchor of the downtown,” said Gaylord, adding that the building is listed on the State Register of Historic Places at the Massachusetts Historical Commission.

Olinski asked if supporting the project meant that the CPC would follow past precedent and support any work on the exterior, but not support any work on the interior. Muto said that would be his feeling.

“They are all eligible under ADA, but I think the issue is private property,” Vinskey said.

“For all intents and purposes, it’s a public building,” O’Connell said. Haveles added that under the Americans with Disabilities Act, any building that is open for public access is considered public.

West said the Westfield Commission for Citizens with Disabilities has also approached them and said they couldn’t keep holding inaccessible events.

“Are we able tonight to support the elevator,” asked Gaylord. Muto said they could put that wording in a motion. The cost of the exterior elevator in the plan was listed as $130,000.

CPC Planning Board alternate William Carellas said that they might run into some sort of overage in the contract, and might want to build in overage in the grant. A motion was made to fund the project at $135,000 for the handicap LULA lift exterior addition and preliminary study and design. The project was unanimously approved.

“Now it goes to the City Council,” Olinski said, adding that the next meeting would be on August 24, where it would be sent to a sub-committee for review.

Bill Opposed

estimated, would have resulted in 264,000 Massachusetts residents losing health coverage and cost the state $8.2 billion by 2025, due to cuts in federal funds that paid for an expansion of Medicaid and a proposed future cap on Medicaid payments to states.

Baker also has warned the federal legislation could jeopardize $600 million in safety net funding that was part of a Medicaid waiver his administration negotiated with Obama's administration.

Friday's statement did not say if those earlier estimates of the impact on Massachusetts would hold under the revised bill, and administration officials said they would take into account a Congressional Budget Office analysis anticipated next week.

Baker is not the only Republican governor voicing objections to the latest Senate GOP plan. Ohio's John Kasich said Friday the bill was "still unacceptable," largely because of the Medicaid cuts that are "too deep."

Both Kasich and Baker have urged Congress to adopt a bipartisan approach to health care reform.

LITTLE LEAGUE SOFTBALL DISTRICT 2 CHAMPIONS Westfield 10-Year-Old All-Stars

Ten times better Slamming success

By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Westfield Little League Softball 10-Year-Old All-Stars may truly be “little” leaguers, but they came up with a big time effort to claim a heavy prize.

Westfield opened with a four-run, firstinning outburst and rode the arm of pitcher Marleigh Monroe to the tune of a 5-3 victory to complete a 3-game sweep of Easthampton in the best-of-3 District 2 finals Friday night at Sadie Knox Field.

Monroe struck out 18 batters in a complete game four-hitter.

Easthampton took the game’s first lead in the top of the first inning, but Westfield quickly seized control by scoring four runs – all with two outs.

Rachel Bonfitto and Monroe drew consecutive walks. Paige Hutkoski brought them home with a ringing two-run double. Ally LaPanne followed with a run-scoring triple.

A wild pitch made it 4-1.

Hutkoski later knocked in another run with another double, this one coming in the third inning.

Easthampton took advantage of a pair of walks in the fifth inning, and ran wild on the base paths to pull within two runs of a tie.

They loaded the bases in the sixth, but Monroe managed to strike out the lead-off batter to preserve the championship-clinching victory.

In other Little League softball tournament action, Easthampton defeated Westfield 6-1 in the 11-Year-Old bracket to take a 2-1 series lead.

By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent WESTFIELD – With the bases loaded and the game tied at one apiece, Liam Poole had the perfect opportunity to blow the game wide open; and he did just that. Poole took a fastball for a ride as the ball went soaring over the center field fence and gave Westfield American a 5-1 lead in the bottom of the third inning.

Poole’s grand slam ended up being enough to give Westfield American the 7-4 victory over Westfield National in the 12-YearOld Little League Championship at Ralph E. Sanville Field on Cross Street Friday evening.

“Tonight we made every single play on defense, and that was the difference,” said Westfield American Manager Mike Raposo.

Poole was due for a big hit and it could not have come when the stakes were higher.

“He’s really wanted it (grand slam) for a while so I was happy to see him get it tonight at such a big stage,” said Raposo.

In the bottom of the third inning, leading up to Poole’s grand slam, Jay Scherpa walked, which was followed by a single to center field from Caden Matuszczak. Jacob Wagner then caused the bases to be loaded with an infield single.

Later in that inning, Westfield American had the bases loaded yet

again, and Scherpa was able to draw his third walk of the contest and put the lead at 6-1.

Scherpa had a dominant performance on the mound as he went 4 1/3 innings strong, giving up two runs and four hits, while striking out six batters.

“I felt his performance was great,” said Poole. “It might not have been as good as he wanted to at the plate, but he made up for it on the mound.”

For Westfield National, Ryder Pieczarka pitched 2 2/3 innings, giving up six runs on seven hits. In the top of the first inning, National got on the board first with a triple from Cody Collins that scored Josh Sturmer.

Westfield American then tied up the game in the bottom of the second inning when Jax Grady doubled down the right field fence to score Alex Provost.

Westfield National was able to push another run across in the top of the fourth when Mason Pereira homered to left field and cut the American lead to 6-2.

National’s best opportunity to climb back into the game came in the top of the fifth inning when they had the bases loaded with one out. A wild pitch allowed Collins to score and put the American advantage at 6-3. But, Scott Hepburn, who came in relief for Scherpa, struck out a batter and then recorded the final out of the fifth with a pop up to third base.

Moving forward Westfield American will play in the state sectionals against either Pittsfield National or Pittsfield American on Wednesday in the doubleelimination style tournament.

Post 124 hits stride WESTFIELD – During Westfield Post 124’s six-game losing streak, playing from behind was the norm. On Friday night it was more of the same, at least for the first half inning.

Down 1-0, Westfield scored six runs in the bottom of the first on its way to its first win in the double-elimination American Legion baseball playoffs. Westfield (1-1) next plays at Greenfield (1-1) on Saturday beginning at

noon. The winner advances to play again on Sunday; the loser is done for the 2017 season.

Westfield starting pitcher John Daley was in complete control for Post 124, giving up six singles – never more than one hit in any inning – while striking out an even dozen. His only 1-2-3 inning came with darkness falling in the bottom of the seventh, the third out and the game’s final out coming on a called third strike.

J.D. Huntley reached base four times, including a pair of singles, and scored three runs. Matt Hastings, Stefan Krol and Jack Blake each scored twice. Jacob Butler had the big hit in the first, driving in two with his ground ball single to left. After taking second on the errant relay, Butler scored on Nick Clegg’s triple to right.

Westfield added a single run in the fifth on Anthony Riga’s long sacrifice fly. In the sixth,

with one out, Hastings and Jacob Colapietro reached on back-to-back singles. A wild pitch moved them each up a base. After Huntley was intentionally walked, a parade of Post 124 runners scored on four successive wild pitches. The only run of the inning that didn’t score on a wild pitch was when Blake scored on an Andy Daniels groundout. – Courtesy of John Blake/Westfield Post 124

Dear Annie

By ANNIE LANE

A Problem Drinker in the House Dear Annie: I’m a 16-year-old high-school sophomore. I’m a straight-A student, the president of my school’s National Honor Society chapter and a soccer player, and I help teach Sunday school at my church. My parents and I live in a big house in a nice neighborhood. By all outside appearances, my life is great. But I’m holding in a secret, and it’s constantly got my stomach in knots: My father is an alcoholic.

Every weekend, my dad gets drunk and does embarrassing things. If we try to go out to dinner, it ends in a big scene, with him upset about something or other. Often he gets really mean to my mom when he’s drunk, calling her nasty names. I try to stay out of the way and hide in my room and listen to music.

My mom has instilled this sense of shame in me about it, so we keep it a secret. Even my closest friends don’t know.

Recently, I made the mistake of having friends over for a sleepover. The girls were all downstairs watching a movie, and I went upstairs to get some blankets. I found my dad passed out in the hallway. I heard the girls coming upstairs to see what was taking me so long, and I had to make up an excuse to get them to stay away until I could wake my dad up and get him to go to bed.

I am so tired of feeling so nervous all the time and not knowing what I’m going to find when I get home. My dad manages to hold down a job that pays well. When he’s drunk and I tell him I wish he’d stop, he tells me how he works a job he hates just to support me and buy me nice things, adding that he’s allowed to do what he wants in his free time.

I guess I’m writing to you because there’s no one else I can talk to about this. My mom doesn’t even want to talk about it when I bring it up. It’s really starting to get to me, and I’ve been crying myself to sleep at night. How can I get my dad to stop?

-- Sick and Afraid Dear Sick and Afraid: There is nothing that you can do to get your dad to stop drinking. That is not your burden to bear, even if you’d like to bear it. He must come to the decision to get sober on his own, and I hope that one day he does.

But you can help yourself today by attending an Alateen meeting. There you’ll be able to hear the stories of other teens who know exactly what you’re going through, and you’ll be provided tools for dealing with the anxiety that comes from living with a problem drinker. Find a meeting in your area at http://al-anon.org. (Select “Find a Meeting” and then “Find an Alateen meeting” from the menu.)

Dear Annie: I am replying to your column about “So Lost and Lonely,” the woman who divorced and whose daughter is so angry with her. I would like to say to her that I had a similar situation. It took a very long time to get past it, but eventually we did. When my daughter was in her early 30s, she simply told me, “I finally grew up.” It didn’t erase all the tears shed and the pain and anguish experienced. But now that she is a mom, we have a good relationship. Just hang in there. It will get better.

-- Grandma J Dear Grandma: I appreciate hearing from readers who have come through the other side of such experiences. I’m printing your letter so that it might offer hope and comfort to “So Lost and Lonely.”

HINTS FROM HELOISE FRIDAY FUN FACTS Dear Readers: * The fork originally had only two tines and was referred to as a “split spoon.” * A shoemaker often is referred to as a cobbler, but actually a cobbler is a shoe repairman. An actual shoemaker is a cordwainer. * How many emails are sent daily?

About 160 million, of which 97 percent are believed to be spam.

-- Heloise WINDOW PRIVACY Dear Heloise: I love our new home except for one thing: We have a separate shower and tub. The bathtub sits next to a huge plate-glass window that lets in a lot of light, which I like, but doesn’t offer any privacy! I don’t want drapes or shutters on the window, so what can I do to keep the light but obscure the view into my home? -- Patsy D., Yuma, Ariz.

Patsy, yes, there are products online you might want to take a look at. Just type in “window film coverings,” and you’ll find a whole range of manufacturers and various film styles to give you the privacy you want and yet let in the light. -- Heloise REUSING A WINE RACK Dear Heloise: My brother-in-law made us a wedding gift of a wine rack that he crafted himself, and while it’s lovely, it’s really too big to use in our kitchen or dining room. I finally put it in the den, but instead of using it for wine storage, I roll up magazines and place them in the round holes where the bottles would normally have gone. Now my husband is thinking of taking it to work with him to store blueprints. -- Judy L., Casper, Wyo. Patsy, what a great idea! I love to see people think up clever ways to use everyday objects or repurpose something and give it new life. Readers, do you have new uses for different items, or clever ideas for things that might otherwise wind up in a landfill?

YOUR

HOROSCOPE

By Jaqueline Bigar

DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, July 15, 2017: This year you often run around a lot.

You work through tension by partaking in physical activity. You often sabotage your own choices. You also tend to say one thing, yet do another. If you are single, this behavior could confuse someone who is interested in creating a stronger bond with you. You might date a lot until you find someone who can relate to you well.

If you are attached, your significant other learns how to deal with this confusion by recognizing that both your actions and your thoughts are authentic. ARIES provokes a strong reaction from you.

ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH You are known for your explosive temper, but your softer emotions seem to emerge rather easily right now. Your ability to verbalize more with a loved one is emphasized. Reach out to someone wiser than you for some feedback. Tonight: You are the leader of the gang.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Pace yourself. Don’t worry, you havethe energy to bring a matter to completion. When tackling your to-dos, you will clear out most of them. A naturally optimistic attitude could encourage indulgence, be it from you or a loved one.

Tonight: Relax wherever you are.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH A romance could be heating up, even if you have been with the other person for years. If you are single, give yourself time to see what develops.

Younger people and children seem to be full of energy, and they want your time and attention. Tonight: Frolic the night away.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might want to get past a personal matter that has been going on for a while. Make an effort to get past any resentment you’ve been feeling. Once you start sharing more with a loved one, you’ll understand your interactions much better.

Tonight: At home. Invite friends over.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Recognize how easily you lose your self-discipline, especially when you meet up with friends. You will embrace the more relaxed atmosphere of the weekend. You have a lot to share, as do others.

You might not believe how much chatter surrounds you. Tonight: Celebrate!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You could have some financial demands that you need to meet. You can’t seem to trim your budget at this point.

Sometime within the next few days, you will see what is not particularly relevant as far as your spending goes. Tonight: Go off and have a good time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You could be overwhelmed by everything you have to do. Your plate is full, but you would not have it any other way. Your energy and charisma soar after an intense conversation. Your popularity is likely to soar as well. Tonight: Listen to a friend’s or loved one’s wishes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Focus your energy on exercise and meditation. You might not be able to process all of your feelings just yet, but you can keep a diary in order to get a better perspective of your inner thoughts.

Consider doing some volunteer work to soothe your nerves. Tonight: Accept an offer.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You tend to act as if you don’t have a care in the world. Suddenly, you are more prepared to take a risk or put yourself on the line. A loved one smiles as he or she witnesses some of your pep return. You might be off on an adventure before you know it. Tonight: Live it up!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Usually, you are out and about with friends and loved ones. Today, you’ll opt to slow down. Many of you will invite others over for some kind of low-key gettogether. You have more than enough energy to play the role of host or hostess.

Tonight: Happiest at home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You often feel as if you have a lot to share. Others seek you out, whether it be through text, a phone call or in person.

Suddenly, many of your friends and loved ones whom you thought were uninterested in your views will make sincere inquiries. Tonight: Join a pal.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Your perspective could change about a decision or a purchase as you get the facts and figures that are relevant to this matter. Know that an immediate decision can be postponed, but not for long.

Talk to someone whose opinions you respect. Tonight: Make it your treat.

NASCAR THIS WEEK SPEED FREAKS A few questions we had to ask ourselves Where is Matt Kenseth seated next season?

GODSPEAK: Let's go nuts here and say good buddy Dale Earnhardt Jr. creates a Cup Series ride at JR Motorsports.

KEN'S CALL: Tough call, but I'm leaning toward the No. 77 magically finding sponsorship and Matt swapping rides with Erik Jones.

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

KENTUCKY

No, this one was way too easy. Prior to this season, we kept reading rave reviews about NASCAR’s new aero package on the cars, how those rules would put racing “back in the drivers’ hands,” how “the greatest drivers in the world” would now separate themselves, and on and on and on. This past weekend at Kentucky, Brad Keselowski finally broke the seal: “It is a poorly designed race car.” Rave reviews last until some team(s) realizes it can’t find the grip.

What about Bubba Wallace?

GODSPEAK: Two options.

He gets picked up by Wood Brothers Racing, or heads back to the Xfinity Series for a year.

KEN'S CALL: I think he's a natural fit to replace Ryan Blaney in the No. 21 when Blaney is “promoted.”

What’s Bubba’s deal?

Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

1. Kyle Larson 2. Martin Truex Jr. 3. Kyle Busch 4. Kevin Harvick 5. Chase Elliott 6. Jamie McMurray 7. Denny Hamlin 8. Brad Keselowski 9. Jimmie Johnson 10. Clint Bowyer 11. Matt Kenseth 12. Joey Logano 13. Ryan Blaney 14. Erik Jones 15. Kurt Busch 16. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. 17. Ryan Newman 18. Daniel Suarez 19. Trevor Bayne 20. Austin Dillon

QUESTIONS & AT T I T U D E

Martin Truex Jr.’s team has stumbled upon a speed recipe, and like KFC’s Col. Sanders before it, has the recipe locked away. [NASCAR GETTY IMAGES/ROBERT LABERGE]

THREE THINGS WE LEARNED 1. Truly Truex

2. History lesson

3. Tweet battle

Martin Truex Jr. lapped all but eight cars at Kentucky, which brings to mind another driver capable of such domination — Bill Elliott in 1985. The theory going around is that the No. 78 Toyota team has found the spicy speed sauce recipe and is keeping it isolated in its Denver shop.

Bill Elliott and his brothers had their race shop in Dawsonville, Georgia, and hit upon a magic combination that caught all by surprise in 1985. Elliott won 11 of 28 Cup Series races that year.

Since they worked away from the Charlotte race community, their secrets stayed safe all season.

Twitter has become a new battleground in NASCAR. Kasey Kahne was wrecked out of the Kentucky race, and then brandished his Twitter foil and defended his driving style.

Kahne became so frustrated by negative comments, he replied to one tweet basher with “You’re an idiot.”

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

THREE THINGS TO WATCH 1. Kenseth shocker The oldest driver in NASCAR Cup Series racing revealed he won’t be invited back to race next year at Joe Gibbs Racing. Matt Kenseth, 45, heated up “silly season” by making the proclamation.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. jumped to Kenseth’s defense. “It’s smart for him to let everybody know early what his plans are,” Earnhardt said. “He is a talented guy who is just a couple of races removed from being a winner.”

2. Window closing If the race at Kentucky had decided the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs, a lot of big names would be out of the postseason, including Joey Logano, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kasey Kahne.

Earnhardt and Kahne are nearing must-win territory based on regular-season points. Matt Kenseth is on the bubble (16th) at 478 points. Logano is only

2017 SCHEDULE AND WINNERS Feb. 18: The Clash at Daytona (Joey Logano) Feb. 23: Can-Am Duels at Daytona (Chase Elliott and Denny Hamlin) Feb. 26: Daytona 500 (Kurt Busch) March 5: Folds of Honor Quick Trip 500 at Atlanta (Brad Keselowski) March 12: Kobalt 400 at Las Vegas (Martin Truex Jr.) March 19: Good Sam 500k at Phoenix (Ryan Newman) March 26: Auto Club 400 at Fontana (Kyle Larson) April 2: STP 500 at Martinsville (Brad Keselowski) April 9: O’Reilly Auto Parts 500 at Texas (Jimmie Johnson) April 23: Food City 500 at Bristol (Jimmie Johnson) April 30: Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond (Joey Logano) May 7: Geico 500 at Talladega (Ricky Stenhouse)

seven points behind, but Earnhardt is 146 points back with only eight races left.

3. T-shirt sales Kyle Larson let it be known on social media that he’s making more money from his moonlighting, dirt-track merchandise sales than he does from his day job in

NASCAR. He pocketed $13,000 in souvenir sales in one night at a dirt track in Pennsylvania. When the dollar amount was revealed on Twitter, Larson responded with “More than I’ve made all year in NASCAR sales…” Ouch!

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

May 13: GoBowling.com 400 at Kansas (Martin Truex Jr.) May 20: All-Star Race at Charlotte (Kyle Busch) May 28: Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte (Austin Dillon) June 4: AAA 400 Drive for Autism at Dover (Jimmie Johnson) June 11: Axalta “We Paint Winners” 400 at Pocono (Ryan Blaney) June 18: FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan (Kyle Larson) June 25: Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma (Kevin Harvick) July 1: Coke Zero 400 at Daytona (Ricky Stenhouse) July 8: Quaker State 400 at Kentucky (Martin Truex Jr.) July 16: New Hampshire 301 at Loudon July 23: Crown Royal 400 at Indianapolis July 30: Pennsylvania 400 at Pocono

Right now, he doesn’t have one. But in four Cup starts as sub in the No. 43, Bubba Wallace finished 26th, 19th, 15th and 11th, in succession. That’s what we call trending in the right direction. He’ll be in a car of some sort soon, and probably in a Cup car (the No. 21?) next season.

Practically guaranteed.

FEUD OF THE WEEK

Kahne

Bayne

KASEY KAHNE VS. TREVOR BAYNE: Kahne and Bayne rhyme, but that’s all they had in common at Kentucky.

They were fighting for position, and Bayne got into Kahne and it turned insane.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: Kahne is under pressure (we’re guessing) to keep his job. This did not settle well. “I got under him getting into Turn 1 and he just drove over my front end, pretty simple,” he said.

GODWIN’S PICKS FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE WINNER: Matt Kenseth REST OF TOP 5: Joey Logano, Kyle Larson, Clint Bowyer, Kyle Busch FIRST ONE OUT: Ty Dillon DARK HORSE: Clint Bowyer DON’T BE SURPRISED IF: Kenseth nails the win, then starts listening to offers from other race teams.
