The Westfield News Serving Westfield, Southwick, and the surrounding Hilltowns

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Flood Control Commission is looking for a few citizens willing to serve, and protect, citizens in area of the city prone to flooding. The board is responsible for the oversight of maintenance of a wide variety of flood control facilities and structures.

The scope of the board’s authority includes maintenance of two flood-control dams, one on Powdermill Brook and the other on Arm Brook, the Westfield River levee and flood plain and the Little River levee, backflow devices on storm drains through the levees and the Williams Riding Way pump station.

Commission Chairman Albert G. Giguere said at the board’s monthly meeting this week that the commission currently has four members.

That number constitutes a quorum. The seats on the seven-member board are vacant, meaning that all of the current commissioners have to be present to legally conduct business.

“There have been a couple of times over the last few years where we could not meet because we did not have a quorum,” Giguere said.

“We’re looking for someone who has knowledge or interest in flood control issues or hydrology. Or someone who would take a vested interest” in the duties of the commission.

“People who have an interest in protecting their homes, their jobs, their property,” Giguere said.

“Westfield is one of the higher flood risk city in the state,” Giguere said. “The Westfield River and its watershed, is largest tributary in the state. Most of the city is in the flood plain, a lot of it protected by the system of levees.

Mayor Daniel M. Knapik said that he is trying to fill a number of vacancies on various boards and commission, but it is a challenge to find residents willing to serve on municipal boards.

“It is difficult to get citizens to volunteer their time to serve, hard to get people involved in city service,” Knapik said.

Sexual offender sentenced

By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A transient man who had been classified as a violent sexual predator in Maine was sentenced to a nine-month term in jail after he pleaded guilty to a charge of failing to register as a sex offender.

City detectives became aware of the man living at Henry’s Trailer Park on Southampton Road when they were asked to assist Department of Children and Families workers as they seized children living in squalor with their mother and the man in a trailer there.

The detectives investigated the man and found that in 2011 Michael L. Asay, 37, of 868 Southampton Road, had been registered as a level one sexual offender in Worcester due to offenses in Maine but the registration had lapsed and he was listed as a violator.

Looking further, the detectives found that the man was free on bail after being charged in Waldo County, Maine, with a recent domestic violence assault on Wanda Martin, the woman he had been living with and the mother of the children removed from the trailer which had no furniture or running water.

Det. Roxanne Bradley found that the terms of his release on bail in Maine included a prohibition that he stay away from Martin and her three children and a requirement that he have no contact with them.

Although by living with Martin and her children Asay appeared to be in direct violation of his bail terms, Bradley found that the Maine bail violation was not extraditable in Massachusetts. Since Asay was listed as a violator for failing to register as a sexual offender in Massachusetts, he was taken into custody and arrested for being a sexual offender who has failed to register.

On Friday, Asay appeared before Judge Philip A. Contant in Westfield District Court and pleaded guilty to the charge.

He was sentenced to a nine-month term in the house of correction with credit for time served awaiting trial since May 23.

Big rig burns Indecent assault charged

By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A city teen was released on his personal recognizance after he was arraigned Thursday on a charge of indecent assault and battery on child younger than 14 years-of-age.

The charge stems from a March 21 assault on a 13-year-old girl while she was having a sleepover at a friend’s house.

According to a report by Detective Daniel Gustafson, the girl said that she had been to a movie with a friend and returned to the other girl’s house where the two girls watched television in the living room where they were going to sleep.

Also watching television was the other girl’s 19-year-old brother, Colin Pacheco, of 19 Carpenter Street.

The victim said that after her friend fell asleep she was talking with the older boy when he started to kiss her.

Although she told him “no”, the girl told Gustafson, the boy continued to kiss her.

She said he put his hands under her shirt to touch her chest area and also touched her other private areas.

“I told him to stop but he didn’t. Every time I pulled away he would pull me closer,” the girl said in a statement to Gustafson The girl said before she was able to disengage and go to sleep “Colin told me not to tell anyone because he could get into big trouble and go to jail.”

The next day the girl called her parents and asked to be picked up from her friend’s house and, after her parents complied, she told her mother what had happened.

Gustafson was able to identify the suspect who came to the station for an interview in which he steadfastedly denied touching the girl although Gustafson reports that he had not told him what the girl said he had done.

“He stated that he sat on the couch and never came close to the victim he made sure there was a space between them,” reported Gustafson.

Gustafson reports that Pacheco reluctantly agreed to provide a DNA sample. He said he pointed out that none of Pacheco’s DNA should be found “inside her shirt or on her body” whereupon Pacheco remembered that the girl “drank out of my cup” and later remembered that he had given her a “good night hug”.

Gustafson reports that after the boy left he called the detective to say that “if the victim had any marks from him it is because he pushed her hard away from him at the end of the night.”

Gustafson filed a criminal complaint and Pacheco was arraigned Thursday before Judge Philip A. Contant in Westfield District Court. He was released on his personal recognizance pending a Sept. 25 hearing.

By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A tractor-trailer unit and its load of paper was a total loss late Thursday night after it was engulfed by fire.

City firefighters sent two engines, an ambulance and the tower truck to Ampad Road shortly before midnight after a caller from the Prolamina plant #2 reported the truck was burning in the parking lot there.

The firefighters found a 2012 Freightliner tractor and the attached trailer fully engulfed in flames in the back of the parking lot.

The operator has exited safely but the load of coated paper in the trailer was burning stubbornly as the firefighters worked to extinguish the blaze. Workers at the plant were able to use a forklift to remove some of the large rolls of treated paper from the back of the trailer but the rolls which were out of reach continued to burn until the firefighters were able to reach them.

The firefighters worked for more than two hours before the fire was completely extinguished.

Dep. Chief Andrew Hart reports that the trucker said that he had been smelling something all day but could not find anything amiss but the trucker said that as he pulled into the Prolamina parking lot he found heavy smoke was filling the sleeper compartment and he exited the truck.

The vehicle was found to be a total loss. The value of the truck and trailer was listed at $100,000 while the value of the lost cargo was put at $10,000.

The trucker said that he lost everything he had in the truck.

Department of Environmental protection officials responded to the scene of the fire, possibly because the plastic coating on the paper may have created toxic smoke, but no public health issues were reported.

The DEP inspectors did request that a fire engine return to the company at 8:25 a.m. and Dep. Chief Patrick Kane reports that firefighters doused few stubborn hot spots.

Boys & Girls Club of Greater Westfield serves lunch, literacy

By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – This summer, the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Westfield is participating again in the Summer Food Service Program. Meals will be provided to all children throughout Greater Westfield free of charge.

Brown bag lunches will be given MondayFriday at seven sites throughout the city: South Middle School’s Cafeteria August 18 to 29 (1-2 p.m.) at the Boys & Girls Club (1-2 p.m.)

Luches will be distributed from June 30 to August 22 at Powdermill Village (12:30 to 1:00 p.m.), Chapman Spray Park (11:45 to 12:15 p.m.), Colonial Pine Acres, and the Hubbard Spray Park and Edgewood Apartments (12:00 – 12:30p.m.).

Meals are free to any child from two to 18 years of age regardless of economic circumstance.

The Boys & Club site is busiest due to their

hosting several summertime activities. The second largest site is the Hubbard Spray Park by the Vocational-Technical School.

Despite only being in operation for a few years, the summer food program served over 23,000 meals last summer, and is a continuation of the GWBG’s year round meal program, which serves dinner 24/7, 365.

“We partner with the Department of Education to extend free meals year round so that kids who typically receive a free breakfast and lunch during the school year aren’t all of a sudden without food during the summer months,” said Karissa St. Pierre, marketing and development director for the GWBG, before referencing the program’s unique literacy component. “One kid will receive a free book and read it to the rest of the kids while they’re eating, so at the same time as trying to bridge the food gap, we’re trying to bridge the literacy gap that occurs during the summer.”

“Programs like this are run in most cities around here, but I don’t think that component

(literacy) really is,” she added. “It adds an additional service to it.”

Funded through the Department of Education, the GWBG’s staff distributes the meals to the children at each of the sites via food trucks.

“There are hot meals twice a week, and then it’s sandwiches, milk and fruit, and all of the food meets the federal guidelines for nutrition,” said St. Pierre. “Most people when they think ‘Boys & Girls Club’ think ‘a place to go play after school’, but it’s providing a large number of families who are really in need a guarantee that their kid is going to eat lunch or dinner that day.”

Charisse Angco, summer food coordinator for the GWBG, said that, in addition to the Department of Education, the Boys & Girls Club follows the rules and regulations of the Department of Early Childhood Education for the program.

The brand new Scholastic books which have been purchased for the program are a

point of emphasis for Angco, who is beyond ecstatic about keeping students reading and engaged in the summer months.

“Every day at all of the sites, one child will receive a ‘winner’ tag in their lunchbag, and that child gets a free book,” she said. “The books are age appropriate, too, so if we have an eight-year-old, they get one appropriate for their age.”

Regarding children who deal with extenuating health circumstances, Angco said that accomodations will be made.

“Meals have lots of proteins and grains, and if someone comes in and is lactose intolerant, we’ll remember to give them juice or lactaid milk,” she said. “We listen to the needs of the children, not just say ‘here’s what we have.’”

If anyone in the greater Westfield area is interested in volunteering with the program, Angco suggests contacting Kellie Brown, director of operations for the Greater Westfield Boys & Girls Club at (413) 562-2301.

Deja Phew:

Plane lands on NY highway for 2nd time in eight days EAST MORICHES, N.Y. (AP) — A New York pilot who landed his disabled plane on a highway for the second time in eight days said Friday he’s lucky to have escaped unhurt and thankful he didn’t hit anyone.

Frank Fierro, 75, said he was “shaking” as he glided the single-engine Challenger ultralight plane to a landing on the eastbound lanes of Sunrise Highway just before 1 p.m.

Fierro landed the same plane in a nearby median on July 10.

Police said Fierro was flying the plane for the first time since last week’s incident.

Both times it developed engine trouble, forcing Fierro to find a makeshift runway before he could get back to Spadaro Airport in East Moriches.

“I was hoping to stop in the same spot, but on the median there was a truck,” Fierro said. “I was hoping they would move when

they didn’t I snapped the controls and moved over to the right and went on the highway.”

Fierro said he hesitated to land on the highway, a heavily traveled east-west thoroughfare from the New York suburbs to the Hamptons on the south shore of Long Island.

“The last thing I would want to do is hit a family in a car,” he said. “A beautiful family with children stopped right behind me.”

Fierro said despite the close calls he’ll keep flying. He cited Chesley Sullenberger, the pilot who landed a passenger jet on New York’s Hudson River after a bird struck an engine, as inspiration.

Plus, he said, he’s got luck on his side and, possibly, a higher power for a co-pilot.

“I think someone up there is paying attention to me,” Fierro said. “And that means a lot.”

Warren feels the love at Netroots

By Katie Glueck Politico.com DETROIT —Elizabeth Warren is far and away the biggest celebrity at Netroots Nation — and she’s loving it.

In a brief interview with reporters at the annual liberal gathering, the Massachusetts senator waved off questions about the outpouring of support on the ground here, complete with chants of “Run, Liz, Run” and signs reading “Elizabeth Warren for President.”

“This is about our values,” an enthusiastic Warren said after signing copies of her new book, “A Fighting Chance.” “I talked about what we’re fighting for, what progressives are fighting for, what America is for … I love being here because ultimately this is about democracy, and democracy is on our side, so I had a great time.”

Warren has repeatedly said she won’t run for president in 2016, despite urging from many on the left. Pressed about her fans’ hopes, she replied that she’s focused on the midterms.

“It is absolutely critical to this country,” she said of the upcoming election. “We can’t get distracted from that. But what is most important is the people who are here are people who have deeply held values, who get out and fight for what they believe in. And I respect that all the way down to my toes.

So I’m delighted to be here with them because I know we’re going to be fighting on the same side, for the same values, in 2014.”

Microsoft layoffs hit D.C. office

By Byron Tau Politico.com Microsoft’s massive layoffs have hit the company’s Washington policy office.

Five policy and government relations staffers were let go in a restructuring process that hit both Microsoft and its subsidiary Nokia.

Positions held by Nokia lobbyist Leo Fitzsimon and Microsoft lobbyist Rebecca Mark were both eliminated.

Fitzsimon was vice president of government and industry affairs for Nokia, while Mark was federal government affairs manager at Microsoft.

Microsoft policy counsel Eric Wenger and Senior Director Betsy Brady as well as Nokia Director of Regulatory Affairs Industry Jeanette Kennedy were also laid off in the restructuring.

The software giant announced Thursday that as part of a major overhaul, it would eliminate up to 18,000 jobs — or 14 percent of the company’s current workforce.

“My promise to you is that we will go through this process in the most thoughtful and transparent way possible. We will

Obama: MH17 shot down from area controlled by Russian separatists

By Jennifer Epstein Politico.com President Barack Obama said Friday that evidence thus far indicates the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was caused by a surface-to-air missile launched from areas in Ukraine controlled by Russian separatists.

In remarks from the White House briefing room, Obama called for an immediate ceasefire in the area so that a “credible international investigation” can be conducted in the aftermath of a crash that, he said, is a strong reminder of the urgency of the need for a change of course in eastern Ukraine.

“This should snap everybody’s heads to attention,” he said, and lead the United States and Europe to put more pressure on Russia to stop offering military support to separatists, and for Russian President Vladimir Putin to agree to take concrete steps to do so.

“Nearly 300 innocent lives

were taken — men, women, children, infants who had nothing to do with the crisis in Ukraine,” he said. “Their deaths are a outrage of unspeakable proportions.”

Obama said that the U.S. government has thus far identified just one American citizen who died in the crash, student Quinn Lucas Schansman, but that the fact that the U.S. toll was not greater “that does nothing to lessen our outrage.”

It’s “too early” to say for certain who fired the missile, the president said, but there is a clear link between recent activities by the separatists in eastern Ukraine backed by Russia regarding attacks on Ukrainian aircraft, including shooting down a transport plane.

“It is not possible for these separatists to function how they’re functioning … without sophisticated equipment” and Russian support, Obama said.

“We’ve seen a ticking up of

violence in Ukraine,” he added, earlier noting that “violence and conflict inevitability lead to unforeseen consequences.”

The tragedy puts new pressure on Obama and his European allies to more forcefully confront Russia over continued instability in eastern Ukraine. It came just a day after Obama announced new U.S. sanctions against Russia — which he and Putin were discussing when the first reports of the crash emerged Thursday — and, if Russian-linked forces or weapons were involved, it is expected that the United States and others in the West will respond with even more onerous sanctions.

“This certainly will be a wake up call for Europe and the world that there are consequences to escalating conflict in eastern Ukraine and it is not going to be localized it is not going to be contained,” Obama said.

The incident “sadly brings

home the degree to which the stakes are high in Europe,” he added.

During Thursday’s call with Putin, Obama said he told the Russian president “that we have been very clear from the outset that we want Russia to take the path that would lead to peace in Ukraine but so far Russia has failed to take that path.”

The leaders have not spoken again since the details of the crash have come to light, but regardless of who’s directly responsible for the downing of the plane, Obama said, Putin has it within his power to effectively end the fighting.

“If Mr. Putin makes a decision that we are not going to allow heavy armaments and the flow of fighters into Ukraine across the UkrainianRussian border. then it will stop…..He has the most control over that situation and, so far, he has not exercised it,” he said.

Obama did not comment directly on Putin’s claim that Ukrainian authorities were responsible for the shoot down because of the continuing fighting on their territory.

Obama strongly suggested that the Kremlin’s comments on the issue have been deceptive and dishonest.

“There’s been a lot of misinformation generated from Ukraine generally,” the president said. “This should snap everybody’s head to attention that we don’t have time for propaganda, we don’t have time for games.”

While Obama accused Russia of providing the separatists with missile that can be used to shoot down aircraft, he stopped short of saying the U.S. has evidence that Russia has given the insurgent forces the kind of highly sophisticated anti-aircraft weapons that can take down at aircraft at the relatively high altitude at which the Malaysia Airlines jet was traveling.

“Obviously, we’re beginning to draw some conclusions given the nature of the

offer severance to all employees impacted by these changes as well as job transition help in many locations, and everyone can expect to be treated with the respect they deserve for their contributions to this company,” wrote CEO Satya Nadella in a letter to all employees.

Nokia, which Microsoft acquired in April for $7.2 billion, was hit the hardest by the layoffs.

Mark — a former GOP Hill staffer who joined Microsoft in 2013 — praised her time with the company in a farewell note to colleagues.

“The past 19 months have been an incredible experience: one where I developed as an advocacy professional, made great friends, found inspiring mentors, and learned the ins and outs of too many technology policy issues to name. When I set out to D.C. from Los Angeles seven years ago to ‘fight the good fight for technology policy’, never did I imagine I would have landed such an amazing opportunity as the one I found at Microsoft,” she wrote.

A spokeswoman for Microsoft did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

shot that was fired. There are only certain types of anti-aircraft missiles that can reach up 30,000 feet and shoot down a passenger jet,” the president said.

Obama also noted that the separatists have boasted in recent days of their ability to take down aircraft. “We also know that this is not the first time a plane has been shot down in eastern Ukraine.

Over the last several weeks Russian-backed separatists have shot down a Ukrainian transport plane and a Ukrainian helicopter, and they claimed responsibility for shooting down a Ukrainian fighter jet,” he said.

But Obama said he does not anticipate any new American military involvement in eastern Ukraine. “We don’t see a U.S. military role beyond what we’ve already been doing,” he said.

Speaking with leaders from the countries most closely linked to the crash Thursday afternoon, Obama promised immediate U.S. support in investigating the crash site spoke Thursday with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak and Prime Minister Mark Rutte of the Netherlands, where the flight originated, and promised immediate U.S. support in investigating the crash site.

On Friday, the president said that NTSB and FBI

investigators were making their way there to aide in an international investigation.

“There has to be a credible international investigation into what happened. The U.N. Security Council has endorsed this investigation, and we will hold all its members, including Russia, to their word,” he said.

Obama also mourned the loss of about 100 HIV/AIDS researchers and activists who were headed to a conference in Australia aboard MH17, saying that they were a reminder of the good in the world amid a stream of conflicts.

“These were men and women who had dedicated their own lives to saving the lives of others and they were taken from us in a senseless act of violence,” he said.

“In this world today, we shouldn’t forget that in the midst of conflict and killing, there are people like these, people who are focused on what can be built, rather than what can be destroyed; people who are focused on how they can help people that they’ve never met; people who define themselves not by what makes them different from other people, but by the humanity that we hold in common,” he added.

A Little Night Music offers cornucopia

JPII Crew youth group

Church hosts pasta supper, benefit concert WESTFIELD — The JPII Crew youth group from Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament Church in Westfield hosted a pasta supper and benefit concert by the parish’s contemporary Christian group Psalm 33 recently, to raise money for homeless teens in Westfield.

The event came about when members of the youth group heard of fellow teens and classmates who were in need, according to Lisa Laferriere, youth group leader at the church.

“There are anywhere from 15 to 20 homeless kids in

Westfield every year,” said Laferriere. “Some don’t have a toothbrush, a hairbrush, shoes, boots or a coat in the winter.”

“Our youth know how fortunate they are and how important it is to help those in need.”

Nearly 200 people attended the event at the parish hall on Holyoke Road.

The JPII Crew and Psalm 33 are comprised of parish youth in grades six through 12.

A Little Night Music planned for Trinity United Methodists SPRINGFIELD — Trinity United Methodist Church, 361 Sumner Avenue in Springfield, cordially invites you to attend the 5th concert in its series “A Little Night Music on Thursday, July 31st.

She will be accompanied by Vera Baker, co-founder of the Children’s Chorus of Springfield.

Sonja has been singing

since she was two years old when she opened her mouth in the car singing “Oklahoma” at the top of her lungs to outsing her sister. She grew up in a very musical household where she developed a taste for the theater and opera. A graduate from the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston with a Master in Music in Vocal performance Sonja is currently the Director of Choral Activities at Agawam High School.

At 7:00 PM the concert on the front lawn will feature guest carillonneur, David Maker. Mr Maker is currently the Carillonneur-inResidence at Storrs Congregational Church in

German church exits spike amid bling bishop furor BERLIN (AP) — The German Bishops’ Conference says the number of Germans leaving the Roman Catholic church jumped sharply last year, an apparent result of an uproar over a bishop’s lavish new residence.

The conference said Friday that 178,805 people formally left the church in 2013, compared with 118,335 the previous year. The figure was just short of the 181,000 people who quit the church in 2010 amid a scandal over sexual abuse by clergy.

Pope Francis permanently removed Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst as Limburg bishop in March, months after an outcry erupted over his residence’s 31 million-euro ($42-million) price tag.

Cardinal Reinhard Marx, who heads the bishops’ conference, said “the second half of 2013 evidently led to a loss of confidence and credibility.”

Germany’s Catholic church had nearly 24.2 million members last year.

Local Little Leaguers eliminated

By Chris Putz Staff Writer HOLDEN – The Westfield Little League Majors American All-Stars’ postseason run has come to an end.

Westfield suffered its second setback of the state sectionals, losing to host Holden 8-3 Friday night.

It was the second straight loss for the Americans in the double elimination tournament.

Holden jumped out to a 4-0 lead before Westfield rallied for three runs in the bottom of the second inning. The home team then outscored the Americans 4-0 over the last four innings, scoring two in the third and tacking on one in each of the fourth and sixth innings.

Trent Adam, Chris Gage, and Connor Medeiros, Jake LaBombard, and Brennan Jarvis each had a hit for Westfield American.

In other tournament action, Westfield National fell to Leominster 12-2 in the Majors tournament.

Westfield National was also eliminated from the postseason field.

Westfield broke open the game with a big six-run third inning.

“That really put the icing on the cake,” Westfield Post 124 coach Don Irzyk said.

Westfield will next face Pittsfield. A date and time had not been established prior to deadline late Friday night.

Gomes’ pinch HR lifts Boston over Kansas

By HOWARD ULMAN AP Sports Writer BOSTON (AP) — Jonny Gomes hit a go-ahead tworun pinch homer in the sixth after another two-run shot in the inning by Xander Bogaerts and the Boston Red Sox beat the Kansas City Royals 5-4 on Friday night.

The Red Sox maintained their momentum after winning four of their last five games before the All-Star game. They entered the break in last place in the AL East but were coming off Clay Buchholz’s 11-0 completegame win over Houston, their season high for runs.

Buchholz (5-5) allowed four runs in six innings against Kansas City. Koji Uehara allowed Omar Infante’s two-out double in the ninth but got his 19th save in 21 chances.

Scott Downs (0-3) gave up the homer to Gomes, the first batter he faced after replacing James Shields.

Eric Hosmer had three hits and two RBIs for the Royals as he extended his hitting streak to 14 games.

Daniel Nava started Boston’s four-run rally with a one-out single that slid out of left fielder Alex Gordon’s glove as he dove. Bogaerts was in a 14 for 123 (.114) slump, but hit Shields’ 1-1 pitch into the center-field bleachers.

That cut the deficit to 4-3 and Stephen Drew, batting .158 in 29 games since joining the Red Sox in late May, followed with a ground-rule double. After David Ross struck out, lefty Downs came in to face lefty Jackie Bradley Jr.

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

SPEED FREAKS

HOT TOPICS: 3 ISSUES GENERATING A BUZZ

A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves

HIGH(ER) EXPECTATIONS

Just another semiretired guy out for a Sunday drive.

Would you feel safe passing Morgan Shepherd?

GODSPEAK: Of course, no problem, if I was in a Brink’s armored car.

KEN’S CALL: Not sure, but I’d like that better than him passing me.

So, your pick?

Lobsters might look prehistoric, but as long as they’ve been around, they’ve never learned to tell time, so I’d take the grandfather clock, purely for functional purposes. And speaking for everyone, it was nice to see Brad Keselowski escape the presentation at New Hampshire without losing a finger.

Is Brad Keselowski now offically “The Man” in NASCAR?

GODSPEAK: “The Man” of the moment.

Don’t forget, there are 17 races left on the schedule.

KEN’S CALL: Until he gets Jimmie Johnson’s next shipment of Goodyears, yes.

Why was Joey Logano smiling through all that?

Let’s consider it one of the unintended consequences of the new Chase format. Logano has a pair of wins and is locked into the Chase, so while he wasn’t thrilled to be wrecked out of New Hampshire by 72-year-old Morgan Shepherd, he wasn’t nearly as mad as he would’ve been if it had cost him in a season-long points race.

All that changes after Week 26, by the way. Trouble will be given a wider berth.

Where does the lobster rank among racing’s best trophies?

In terms of history, nothing tops Indy’s Borg-Warner Trophy that goes to the winner of the Indianapolis 500.

Daytona’s Harley J. Earl Trophy has become fairly famous, even if it’s a bit odd to see a futuristic vehicle handed to a guy who wins the world’s most famous “stock” car race. Then you have the grandfather clock they give away at Martinsville, as well as the guitar at Nashville.

FEEDBACK

Associated Press / CHERYL SENTER

Girlfriend Paige White, the “Loudon Lobster” and a naturally beaming Brad Keselowski.

They say a watched pot never boils, and this past weekend at New Hampshire, staring under the hood and hoping to see a few more horses appear wasn’t very fruitful for Junior.

This season is truly different for Dale Earnhardt Jr., NASCAR’s most popular driver for the past decade. Two years ago, the Earnhardt Nation would have celebrated a 10th-place finish by chanting and dancing around bonfires.

When Earnhardt finished 10th at New Hampshire on Sunday, he was disappointed, almost disgusted, that his No. 88 Hendrick Motorsports Chevy had been totally outclassed by several other stock cars.

The dissatisfaction was etched in his words, despite clinching a berth in the Sprint Cup Chase playoffs. “That was frustrating,” Earnhardt said.

“That was the hardest I’ve ever worked for a 10thplace finish. But we have been off all weekend. It’s been a real frustrating weekend, to be honest.

“The guys worked real hard. Steve (Letarte, crew chief) and the engineers did their best to try to get the car more competitive. Just to be lacking that much speed against a lot of those guys … I had to drive so perfect every lap. That was really frustrating.”

Earnhardt is having his best year since 2004, seemingly happy and building momentum and confidence. His struggle Sunday put a damper on the season-long party.

“We worked real hard to finish where we finished,” he said. “The guys worked their guts out every practice. We changed a lot of stuff on the car.

It was real disappointing not to have the speed a lot of those other guys had.”

On deck in two weeks is the Brickyard 400, staged at flat and narrow Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Earnhardt’s run in that race may foretell his championship ambitions.

“Pretty disappointing,” he said of New Hampshire. “We will go home and work on it and try to do better.”

FEUD OF THE WEEK

WORSE THAN RAIN What’s worse than rain on race day? When a driver in contention for a victory hears his booming V-8 engine go quiet as the fuel tank goes dry. It happened to Jeff Gordon in the closing laps at New Hampshire.

He was running second when his Chevy’s motor shut down, requiring a push to pit road from a wrecker. “It’s all about wins right now,” Gordon said. “We’ve got to go for it, so I thought it was a great call even if we did come up short.”

RACING’S CRUELTY Aric Almirola was at the peak of his career when he captured the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona. Six days later, racing reality slapped the Tampa driver across the chops when he crashed heavily in practice at New Hampshire. Asked if the incident was less disappointing since he’s a Cup Series winner now, Almirola said: “No, it is still disappointing. It is always disappointing when you wreck a race car.”

JOEY LOGANO

MORGAN SHEPHERD

Joey Logano vs. Morgan Shepherd: Logano was running in the lead pack when he tangled with backmarker Shepherd.

Godwin Kelly gives his take: “Logano can’t do much against 72-year-old Shepherd because he knows the AARP would quickly jump into the fray.”

Juan Pablo Montoya: No more fenders, but he got a trophy Former NASCAR driver Juan Pablo Montoya has enjoyed success this season after moving from NASCAR to the IndyCar Series. The media caught up with Montoya at Iowa Speedway, which hosted an IndyCar race last weekend, a week after Montoya’s victory at Pocono.

Your only experience here (Iowa) was very different. It was eight years ago and it was an ARCA race. You were trying to figure out stock cars. Can you take anything from that

experience?

“The track — when I came here — was brand-new. There were no bumps. It was really smooth. There is a big bump in the tunnel.

Turns 3 and 4 are still pretty smooth, but now you run pretty close to wide open. Some people actually do run wide open all the way around.”

How much is having a victory now put a little more spring in your step?

“People are happy because a lot of people are still around from back in the day — so they are happy for me. That is pretty cool. I still try not to get overly excited about it. It’s fun. I had a great time; the guys loved it. It was really good for Verizon and PPG and Hawk Performance, everybody that supports us, Chevy as well. I think it does build a lot of momentum.

It gives a lot of confidence that you can get it done.”

Seven races to go, you are up to fourth in

points — two races next weekend and then a double-points race at the end of the year. You are right there. How do you look at the rest of the season?

“I think we have been doing a good job. We have been smart about how we run races. We just have to keep doing what we are doing. I told the guys this week it’s great that we won, but one thing is getting there, the other thing is staying there, and to stay there we are going to have to really step it up.”

Annie’s Mailbox

By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

How often does one graduate?

Dear Annie: “A Graduate’s Mom” should lighten up about decorum at graduation ceremonies. I am a professor at a large university, and I participate in graduation every year. The faculty and administrators provide the necessary pomp and circumstance.

But these young people have worked hard for four years and deserve to celebrate.

I am proud of what they’ve accomplished. How often does one graduate from college? And as a parent, aren’t you anxious to celebrate an end to tuition bills? You should be standing on your chair and shouting to the rooftops. As long as it doesn’t include vulgarity, I’m happy to witness the celebration every year. To “A Graduate’s Mom,” I say congratulations and WOO-HOO! -- A Proud Prof, Lawrence, Kan. Dear Prof: Our mail was fairly divided on this subject. Read on: From Michigan: Our local high school is very strict about graduation ceremonies. Boys must wear ties and dress shoes; girls, proper dress wear and shoes -- no floppies. If a student does not comply, he or she must make it right, or they will not receive a diploma at the ceremony. No fireworks under the chairs or balloon bouncing. You get to hear each graduate’s name, and it’s an enjoyable day.

Massachusetts: Graduation is not what it used to be. When I graduated, it was a well-organized occasion, and everyone involved participated in a respectful manner. It was a special celebration for all. In 2005, I attended a high school graduation for a friend’s 18-year-old, and it was a free-for-all. You couldn’t hear a thing over all the yelling and screaming. It was the worst graduation I ever attended, until I graduated in 2008 from my medical program. I was disappointed that my boyfriend decided to go bowling instead, but it turned out to be a good thing. I had never been so embarrassed. There were babies screaming and families rushing the stage to take photos, and it was so noisy that I could not hear the guest speaker. This is so rude.

Nebraska: My children have all attended New England prep schools and competitive colleges. There is no rowdier a bunch of folks than the parents, grandparents and family members of a graduate. We have celebrated our own graduations and those of our children, nieces, nephews and friends with joy from our spots in the audience. We come with signs of congratulation, cowbells, vuvuzelas and megaphones. One year, a family of 15 shouted in unison, “We love you!” as their graduate walked across the stage.

Across the aisle, a family of five wildly waved long ribbons on three-foot sticks when their graduate was announced. Two years ago, a family we know released white balloons as their graduate walked by. Air horns, bells and whistles are the norm. Our graduates have accomplished great things, with the love and support of their family and friends. We invite “A Graduate’s Mom” to shake a pom-pom in school colors, hold up a personalized sign, clang a bell and make a joyful noise with us.

Texas: Having run commencement at a major university for 18 years, I agree with “A Graduate’s Mom.” Graduation should be about the achievement of the graduates and the frequent sacrifices of the families to get the graduates to that point. The best graduation ceremonies are a combination of seriousness and celebration of these achievements. That should be the focus. The ceremonies can be fun and still maintain the central recognition of achievement. Balloons are good, banners are good, ruckus is not good.

HINTS FROM HELOISE Wood Makes Its Mark on Floor Dear Heloise: I have a heavy wooden rocker and four wooden chairs on a light-colored linoleum floor. Nothing keeps the wood from MARKING MY FLOORS. I’ve tried all the self-adhesive pads -they just come off. Do you have any suggestions? -- Gail D., Fountain Valley, Calif.

Gail, here are a few things to try: They make chair-leg tips now that cover the entire foot of the chair instead of just sticking to the bottom. You could see if those stay on better. Another thing to try: Wrap the foot of the chair in some leftover fabric. This would work when it is just you at home, and it can be quickly removed when company comes over. You also could place a rug under the rocker and chairs to protect the floor. I hope one of these suggestions works for you.

-- Heloise PET PAL Dear Readers: Nancy Gellar sent in a picture, via email, of one of her two Great Pyrenees, Gladys, sitting in the sun with a hat on after a thorough brushing by Mom. Nancy says they divide their time between guarding sheep and being the sweetest fluffy-dog pets in the world. To see Gladys’ picture, go to my website, www.Heloise.com, and click on “Pets.” -- Heloise

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, July 19, 2014: This year you might be busier than you think you are. You might have an unexpected responsibility involving an older relative or parent. Your professional life could be dominating your days, which leaves you little time for yourself. You need to make time for your personal life. If you are single, you will meet someone in a most unexpected way or through someone you would never think could introduce you to such a special person. If you are attached, you will want to spend more time with your sweetie. Even with all the demands in your life, you will make an effort to have alone time together. TAURUS has a way with you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You might be the source of all your pressure because of a judgment you’ve made regarding a certain issue.

You will be putting a lot of effort into your home or domestic life. A little creativity could save you a lot of money.

Tonight: Keep your budget in mind.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You’ll feel better than you have in a while. Dealing with a grumpy person might not even bother you today.

Consider taking a drive to the beach or to the mountains, or meet up with a friend who lives far away. Tonight: Catch up on a loved one’s news.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You recently might have gone to extremes in living life to the max. The fast-paced life will catch up with you.

Slow down, and do only what you must.

Give yourself a little time to recharge your batteries. You will be better for the experience. Tonight: Play it low-key.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Friends will want you to join them. It is clear that you won’t be left alone, so you might as well head out the door. Choose your preferred invitation, or do something you have been postponing doing. Expect to be surrounded by people. Tonight: Where the action is.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Someone could be too difficult and domineering for your taste. You might want to head in a different direction, and you will find a reason to do so.

A loved one or special friend will be only too happy to see your detour end wherever he or she is. Tonight: All eyes turn to you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You will relate directly to a loved one in order to understand what you need to do to gain favor with a key person. A discussion could help illuminate this person’s long-term goals and desires. Do what you can to make his or her dreams a reality. Tonight: Chat over dinner.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Defer to others. You have dealt with enough flak for a while. You don’t need to be responsible for making plans or for giving out suggestions. You actually might be happiest with one close loved one whom you can be open with. Tonight: Mellow out over a good dinner.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH It seems as though, no matter what you do, someone has a better idea.

Don’t cop an attitude; instead, be open to this person’s suggestions. Reach out to a loved one at a distance who you have wanted to speak with. Make plans for a visit soon. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might decide to pull back and handle a personal matter differently.

Given some time, you could complete a project that you have kept on the back burner. Use a window of time just for you. Tonight: Do whatever feels right.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Your imagination could be the source of some intriguing plans.

You’ll have to decide who you want to invite to this get-together. Follow your intuition, and you can’t go wrong. You might find it difficult to kiss logic goodbye, but you will. Tonight: You can be quite a flirt!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You might want to center yourself and reconsider what to do with a personal situation. Your home life also could be involved in a discussion. A

Cryptoquip

Crosswords

change might be inevitable, so remain open to a new and different idea. Tonight: Invite friends over to your place for a special meal.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Make an effort to touch base with several people you have not had time to reach out to. Do not be surprised if you get a strong reaction from a friend who has really missed you. Understand what this person’s disgruntled attitude means. Tonight: Hang out at a favorite spot.

Rick’s performances include original and familiar songs, puppets, movement, child-participation, and lots of silliness and fun capturing the imaginations of children of all ages.

Rick Goldin’s lively and humorous music and puppet concerts have made him one of the most popular children’s entertainers in New England. His latest recording “I Like To Read” received a Parents’ Choice Recommended Award which features songs about books, libraries and learning to read. www.rickgoldin.com Friday Mornings for Children are held rain or shine in the Beveridge Pavilion Annex from 10:00 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. and are free of charge.

Hyper • Local

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.
