Summer EDventure programs being held at Highland Elementary, South Middle School

By AMY PORTER Correspondent WESTFIELD – Westfield Public Schools are running two Title I programs this summer at Highland Elementary and South Middle School. These two “Cadillac” programs are highly ranked by children, parents, and staff, according to Christopher Rogers, administrator of student interventions who is overseeing both programs.

The Summer EDventure at Highland Elementary under site supervisor Kandy Kocol runs from July 5 through August 3, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays. In partnership with the Connected Learning Afterschool and Summer Partnership (CLASP) and the Regional Employment Board of Hampden County, it is designed to engage K-6 students with outdoor activities, cooperative games, sports, art projects, guest speakers, field trips and scientific experiments.

Literacy, math, science and writing are integrated throughout the program to support project –based learning. Incoming students in grades K-4 participate in a nature and fitness curricula and incoming grade 5 and 6 students participate in the ecosystem/service learning and fitness curricula.

270 students, a record in terms of enrollment are participating in the free program. The students were recommended by their schools as needing some additional support to improve their literacy and essential learning skills, and include students from the English Language Learners (ELL) program.

Transportation to the program is free for students that need it, as are lunches through a Food Services grant.

This year, in collaboration with the special education

All-abled playground being pursued by city

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—The community development office, along with the commission for citizens with disabilities, is looking into making an all-abled playground in the city.

The playground, if approved

by Mayor Brian Sullivan and city council, will be done through the already-existing Hampton Ponds playground, according to Peter Miller, director of community development in the city. He said that the idea came after Mandi Riel, a parent of two children with disabilities, had approached the commission for citizens with disabilities about the idea.

Riel said that the idea came A photo of Reese after she noticed her daughter, Rodriguez, submitted See Playground, Page 7 by Mandi Riel.

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD–Gov. Charlie Baker signed the state budget this week and according to Westfield Mayor Brian Sullivan, the funds for the city were as expected.

Sullivan said that the budget, along with chapter 90 funding, was what city officials had anticipated. Now, he said, the city will look to manage the budget while focusing on road infrastructure and attempting to keep tax increases down for residents.

“All our numbers we used to build our budget seem to be exactly what we anticipated,” Sullivan said.

“The budget was built on need and I’m confident it’s what people looked for,” he added.

According to Sullivan, Westfield will receive an Westfield Mayor Brian Sullivan estimated $38.7 (WNG file photo) million from the state budget, “adjusted from assessment.” Of that total, $34.32 million is in chapter 70 funding. According to the Massachusetts Department of Education’s website, “[t]he Chapter 70 program is the major program of state aid to public elementary and secondary schools.”

In addition, Sullivan said that the city is expected to received $1.224 million in chapter 90 funding, which is money used for projects like road infrastructure.

This money is not part of the $38.7 million estimated budget.

Sullivan said that the chapter 90 funding will go toward the ongoing city efforts to improve infrastructure, and will include projects on Granville Road and portions of North Road and Montgomery Road, among others.

Also in the budget was $50,000 that was allotted for Westfield’s 350th anniversary celebration, which Sullivan said was the only supplemental funding that passed. Sullivan said that he credits Sen. Don Humason and Rep. John Velis for this.

community to support the cause.

“Hopefully it will bring in some money and keep the momentum going,” said North Pond supporter Dennis Clark.

A $10 donation is required to enter the event. With all the proceeds going towards Save North Pond, that will also include the costs from beer/wine, food,

By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent WESTFIELD – As Gov. Charlie Baker signed the FY18 budget into law on July 17, one of the line items that Sen. Don Humason proposed into the budget was approved by Baker.

Humason proposed a study to be conducted on the Massachusetts Turnpike, specifically examining the costs and economic impacts of adding an interchange between Exit two (Lee) and Exit three (Westfield).

Currently, the distance between those two exits is about 30 miles. According to a statement from Humason, that is nearly a quarter of the total 138 miles that the Mass Turnpike spans from Boston to the border of New York.

Ultimate Sports Program seeks volunteers WESTFIELD – If your child has a disability, it can be difficult trying to find places they can fit in and feel accepted. If you’re looking for a great opportunity, then there is a nonprofit organization in Westfield focused on inclusion and forming bonds of friendship through sports related activities.

The Ultimate Sports Program is hosting its 6th Bi-Annual trip to Orlando, FL from August 12th to the 14th. Families attending will be given discounts to stay at the Walt Disney World Resort and will also receive discounts on park entry.

Steven Berube is the program director of USP Kids, and founded the organization after his son defended a boy with Down Syndrome in his class from bullies. Steven and his son invited the boy to play pitch baseball with them, and after some time his mother agreed to let him play. As time went on, more families heard the story and soon a mailing list of over 900 families had come together.

Over the years, USP Kids has relied on generous donations and volunteer work to keep children of all ages and abilities playing together.

With that, children have grown up and volunteers have moved on. Growing large so quickly, they would love to find ways to raise funding so they can keep costs of special events as low as possible.

They’re also looking for volunteers knowledgeable in different sports and can actively engage children as coaches or helpful participants.

Westfield State University donates the Parenzo Hall Gym every Saturday morning, and have

anywhere from 6 to 70 participants. There is no sign up, and they take anyone who walks in.

Berube’s motto as he states is “Any kid, from anywhere, of any size, any age, any sex, and any ability” Special events usually require signups, have a limit on attendees, and usually a cost, albeit cheap.

Families are responsible for their own children, and must stay at an event until finished.

They are responsible for any medical situations that occur.

Berube wants kids to look at each other as equals, and understand that we each have different abilities and skill sets, things that make each child unique. The way they operate involves coaching during the sporting event, where more athletic and competitive children are asked to be mindful and try helping their teammates who are struggling. Doing this can form bonds of friendship and helps create empathetic and compassionate environments.

During his time as the program director, Berube has seen dozens of cases, where star athletes join for volunteer hours and fall in love with the program and children with special needs who are afraid of interactions with others who then learn to come out of their shells. It seems like there is some therapeutic value to the participation in team sports.

You can find more info at www.uspkids.com.

Included is a complete list of all the sports covered, event dates and info on the Orlando trip, which is still looking for interested parties.

UK girl left in tears after she’s fined for selling lemonade LONDON (AP) — A British man and his young daughter have gained international attention for being fined for selling lemonade.

Andre Spicer said his 5-year-old daughter was left in tears after local council officers fined her 150 pounds ($195) for selling lemonade without a license near their home in London.

The girl was selling home-made lemonade to fans attending the Lovebox dance festival when she was fined.

The four officers approached the girl and began speaking in technical legal terms, telling her that her lemonade stand infringed on local business rights.

Halfway through the interaction with the officers, Spicer said his daughter burst into tears and said “I’ve done a bad thing, daddy.

I’ve done something wrong.”

“I think initially she was a bit shocked and sad,” Spicer said. “And then I suggested we try it again with a permit. And she said: ‘Oh, it’s a bit scary.’”

He hopes that his daughter will overcome the “heart-wrenching” experience and continue to

pursue entrepreneurial ideas.

Spicer wrote an article about the incident for the Daily Telegraph that garnered hundreds of comments and shares online.

Local officials said the fine will be cancelled immediately. They have apologized to the family.

In a statement Friday, the council said it was “very sorry” about what happened and that its enforcement officers are expected to “show common sense, and to use their powers sensibly. This clearly did not happen.”

Rep. Velis joins House members to pass Act, Bill WESTFIELD — State Representative John Velis (D-Westfield) joined his fellow House members this week to pass two major pieces of legislation. The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act and the Marijuana Bill amending last November’s ballot initiative have both been a top priority for the legislature since the session began in January. The vote comes 2 weeks before the legislature breaks for its annual recess during the month of August.

“I’m glad that we were able to get both pieces of legislation to a vote in time for the recess,” said Rep Velis.

“It’s important that we act on these things while they have momentum. Too often bills get bogged down in procedure on Beacon Hill, so it’s great to see two important bills make it through within the first 6 or 7 months of session.”

The first piece of legislation, The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, ensures that pregnant individuals are entitled reasonable safety measures and accommodations by their employers. It will also make it illegal for employers to discriminate against, terminate, or refuse to employ an individual due to pregnancy or a pregnancy related condition. Reasonable accommodations may include extended recovery time from childbirth, modifying equipment/seating, job restructuring, and a designated area for expressing breast milk.

“I believe this bill offers a good compromise between pregnant individuals and their employers,” continued Velis. “It’s really a commonsense provision that will protect moms-to-be without placing an unbearable burden on small business owners.

This bill has been a long time coming, and I’m happy to see it pass with the support of the business community.”

“A woman who is pregnant is no less equal and no less valued as a member of the workforce…

I’m very pleased to see this bill earn support from workers and employers alike,” said Senator Jason Lewis (DWinchester), Co-Chair of the Committee on Workforce and Labor Development, the committee initially responsible for releasing the bill.

The bill passed through both chambers with unanimous support.

The Marijuana conference committee bill, the compromise proposed by members of the House and Senate, also passed this week. The bill was largely concerned with regulating consumer access to marijuana and ensuring public health and safety. The new legislation creates an independent five-member Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) which will be housed under the Office of the State Treasurer, and sets a tax rate that balances both local and state revenue. The CCC will work with the Department of Public Health (DPH) and the Department of Agricultural Resources (MDAR) to set standards for cultivation, processing, and distribution of marijuana products including food. The CCC will also oversee standards for packaging, potency, and cannabis licensing.

Although he originally voted no on the original House version of the bill, this week Representative Velis voted in favor of the compromise bill, stating, “After working so hard to come up with a legislative solution that would balance the will of the voters with public safety, I’m also happy to see this bill finally come out of conference committee. My colleagues worked extremely See Rep. Velis, Page 8

In March Hinds nominated two Berkshire residents to attend the Spring CLS, Lucy Kennedy of Lenox and Christopher Carr of North Adams. Both were invited to attend and participate.

DPH reports data breach involving patient information BOSTON – State health officials responding to a former patient’s complaint have determined that one employee of Tewksbury Hospital, one of four hospitals operated by the Department of Public Health, may have inappropriately accessed multiple patient medical records from 2003 to 2017.

Based on the hospital’s review, individuals possibly affected by the breach include at least 1,100 people who were patients at Tewksbury Hospital during that time period.

The clerk responsible for this incident is no longer employed by Tewksbury Hospital and no longer has access to hospital patient medical records of any kind.

The information that was inappropriately viewed included names, addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, gender, diagnoses, or other information about medical treatment at Tewksbury Hospital. For some patients, this may have also included social security numbers. Currently, there is no indication that any patient information has been misused as a result.

Tewksbury Hospital is providing a written notice to affected patients for whom the hospital has current contact information, and is posting a notification on its website. The Hospital has also made all required notifications to state and federal agencies, including the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office, the

Massachusetts Office for Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights.

In addition, Tewksbury Hospital has made immediate changes to further protect social security numbers and is examining its policies regarding access to its medical records system. It is undertaking a quality improvement review of auditing protocols for access to medical records, and strengthening the required training on the privacy and security of confidential information that all hospital employees must receive.

Individuals with questions or concerns about this matter are encouraged to visit the Tewksbury Hospital website for more information, or to call Tewksbury Hospital at one of two toll-free numbers: Patients treated in hospital Medical Units: 1-888-850-7541 Monday through Friday, 9am-5pm Patients treated in hospital Mental Health Units: 1-888-850-7571 Monday through Friday, 9am-5pm

Kushner adds at least $10M in assets to revised disclosure WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's son-inlaw and senior adviser Jared Kushner "inadvertently omitted" more than 70 assets worth at least $10.6 million from his personal financial disclosure reports, according to revised paperwork released Friday.

The previously unreported assets were included in updated financial disclosure reports certified by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics on Thursday as part of the "ordinary review process," according to Kushner's filing.

Among the new disclosures, Kushner reported owning artwork worth between $5 million and $25 million. The new forms also reflect that Kushner sold his interest in an aging shopping mall in Eatontown, New Jersey, and no longer has a stake in a company that had held an interest in property in Toledo, Ohio.

Kushner also clarified his $5 million to $25 million stake in a holding company that owns Cadre, an online real estate investment platform investors valued at $800 million that he co-founded with his brother, Joshua.

Kushner's wife and the president's daughter, Ivanka Trump, also filed new federal disclosures. She reported assets of at least $66 million and earned at least $13.5 million in income last year from her various business ventures, including more than $2.4 million from the new Trump hotel near the White House.

The filings reflect the extraordinary wealth of Trump and her husband, who stepped down from running their companies and left their Manhattan apartment to move their young family to Washington earlier this year.

A lawyer advising Kushner said that federal officials are allowed to amend their initial financial disclosures before they are certified, and stressed that Kushner had complex finances.

"Jared and Ivanka have followed each of the required steps in their transition from private citizens to federal officials. The Office of Government Ethics has certified Jared's financial disclosure, reflecting its determination that his approach complies with federal ethics laws," said Kushner attorney Jamie Gorelick. "Ivanka's financial disclosure form is still in the pre-certification stage, as she began the process later."

Clay Johnson, who served as President George W. Bush's director of presidential personnel, said he was surprised by the sheer number of updates six months in.

"The way we ran it ... is that the general direction to all nominees is tell us what we ask for now. We will then stand behind you whatever may come in. But there are to be no surprises," said Johnson, who also served as Bush's deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget.

The federal disclosures filed by Ivanka Trump were her first since taking on an official, unpaid role at the White House.

The bulk of her assets came from the $50 million value she placed on her business trust, formed to hold a collection of her businesses and corporations. The trust produced between $1 million and $5 million in income.

In addition, Trump also revealed that she will be receiving recurring annual payments totaling $1.5 million from some of her real estate and consulting interests, according to agreements she worked out in consultation with the Office of Government Ethics. Her filing notes that the fixed payments were necessary to reduce her interest in the performance of the businesses.

The documents also show that the young couple resigned from a vast array of corporate positions: Kushner stepped down from 266 such positions, while Trump resigned from 292 positions.

A White House spokesman said Kushner sold his interest in the Monmouth Mall in Eatontown, New Jersey, in May. His family company recently received approval from town officials to vastly expand the mall in the face opposition from some residents. Kushner reported receiving at least $1.25 million in income from the property.

He also no longer owns a company holding an interest in several apartment complexes in Toledo, Ohio. Those complexes are part of the Kushner Cos.' garden apartment business that includes more than 20,000 units in six states. The Toledo apartments are no longer listed on the company website, suggesting that the company may have sold them off.

Representatives of the Kushner Cos. did not immediately respond for comment.

Trump Jr., Manafort in talks with Senate panel

By CHAD DAY Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's eldest son and his former campaign chairman are discussing being privately interviewed by a Senate committee investigating Russia's meddling in the 2016 election, the panel confirmed Friday.

The committee initially called for Donald Trump Jr. and Paul Manafort to appear publicly next week. But the top Republican and Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee now say the men are negotiating the terms of their appearances, and lawmakers don't currently plan to issue subpoenas to force them to publicly testify.

In a joint statement, Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., also said they are negotiating with Trump Jr. and Manafort about possibly turning over documents.

Both men face questions about attending a Trump Tower meeting with a Russian lawyer in June 2016 that was described to Trump Jr. in emails as part of a Russian government effort to help his father's campaign. Trump Jr. was told the lawyer had damaging information that could be used against Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and top White House aide, also attended the meeting. He is scheduled to speak behind closed doors with the Senate intelligence committee Monday and with the House intelligence committee Tuesday.

The revelation of the Trump Tower meeting renewed questions about the Trump's campaign's possible connections with Russia and put some of Trump's inner circle at the forefront of ongoing federal and congressional probes.

Manafort spokesman Jason Maloni declined to comment on the committee's announcement. Trump Jr. attorney Alan Futerfas did not respond to several attempts by The Associated Press to contact him this week, including calls and emails Friday.

Also Friday, The Washington Post reported that the Russian ambassador to the U.S. has said he discussed election-related issues with Sen. Jeff Sessions when the two men met during the 2016 presidential race.

The Post cited anonymous U.S. officials who described U.S. intelligence intercepts of Ambassador Sergey Kislyak's descriptions of his meetings with Sessions, who was then a foreign policy adviser to Trump and now serves as attorney general.

Justice Department spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores said Sessions stands by his previous assertion that he never had conversations with Russian officials about any type of interference with the election.

Word of the negotiations with Trump Jr. and Manafort comes as the president's legal team evaluates potential conflicts of interest among members of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigative team, according to three people with knowledge of the matter. Mueller's probe into Russia's election meddling

also appears likely to include some of the Trump family's business ties.

Attorney Jay Sekulow, a member of the president's external legal team, told The Associated Press on Thursday that the lawyers "will consistently evaluate the issue of conflicts and raise them in the appropriate venue."

Two of the people with knowledge of that process say those efforts include probing the political affiliations of Mueller's investigators and their past work history. The people insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.

Trump himself has publicly challenged Mueller, declaring this week that the former FBI director would be crossing a line if he investigated the president's personal business ties.

The White House push against the special counsel's probe and the attempts to put the focus on potential conflicts with Mueller's team may well be an effort to distract from snowballing federal and congressional investigations into possible election-year coordination between Trump's campaign and Russia. While Trump has assailed the probes as a partisan "witch hunt," the investigations have increasingly ensnared his family and close advisers.

Since the 2016 Trump Tower meeting became public, Trump Jr. has faced tough questions from lawmakers about why he agreed to participate. He and his father have downplayed it as politics as usual, saying they believe most people would have taken the meeting to learn about damaging information on an opponent.

Manafort had attracted scrutiny for months from congressional committees and Mueller. The Associated Press reported in June that Mueller's probe has incorporated a long-standing federal investigation into Manafort's financial dealings. That investigation is scrutinizing political consulting work he did for a pro-Russian political party in Ukraine and the country's former president, Viktor Yanukovych.

Manafort has denied any wrongdoing related to his Ukrainian work, saying through a spokesman that it "was totally open and appropriate."

Manafort also recently registered with the Justice Department as a foreign agent for parts of Ukrainian work that occurred in Washington. The filing under the Foreign Agents Registration Act came retroactively, a tacit acknowledgement that he operated in Washington in violation of the federal transparency law.

That law was scheduled to be the topic of the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in which he was called to appear.

The committee also is looking at the work of Glenn Simpson, a political operative who was involved in the compilation of a dossier of unsubstantiated and sometimes salacious information about Trump and his associates and their interactions with Russians.

Grassley and Feinstein said Friday that they have issued a subpoena for Simpson to appear before the committee next week.

Spicer exits as Trump shakes up his beleaguered press team WASHINGTON (AP) — White House press secretary Sean Spicer abruptly resigned Friday over President Donald Trump's decision to tap a camera-ready financier to lead the beleaguered White House communications team. The departing spokesman said the president "could benefit from a clean slate" as he seeks to steady operations amid the Russia investigations and ahead of a health care showdown.

Spicer, whose daily briefings once dominated cable television and delighted late-night comics, quit in protest over the hiring of Anthony Scaramucci as the new White House communications director. Spicer denounced what he considered Scaramucci's lack of qualifications, according to people familiar with the situation.

As his first act on the job, Scaramucci, a polished television commentator and Harvard Law graduate, announced from the White House briefing room that Sarah Huckabee Sanders would take Spicer's job. She had been Spicer's deputy.

The shake-up among the president

spokespeople comes as Trump is suffering from dismal approval ratings and struggling to advance his legislative proposals. As his effort to replace Barack Obama's health care law crumbled this week, the president continued to vent frustration about the attention devoted to investigations of allegations of his election campaign's connections to Russia.

Trump has blamed his own messengers — as well as the "fake news" media — for his woes.

Trump, who watches the press briefings closely and believes he is his own best spokesman, saluted Spicer's "great ratings" on TV and said he was "grateful for Sean's work on behalf of my administration and the American people."

Scaramucci, who said Spicer had been gracious in showing him around on Friday, quickly took center stage, parrying questions from reporters and praising Trump in a 37-minute charm offensive. He flashed the television skills that Trump has long valued: He commended Trump's political instincts and competitiveness, cracked a few self-deprecating jokes and battled with reporters who

categorized the West Wing as dysfunctional, saying "there is a disconnect" between the media and the way the public sees the president.

"The president has really good karma and the world turns back to him," Scaramucci said.

Spicer said during a brief phone conversation with The Associated Press that he felt it would be best for Scaramucci to build his own operation "and chart a new way forward." He tweeted that it had been an "honor" and "privilege" to serve Trump and that he would remain in his post through August.

His decision to quit took advisers inside and outside the White House by surprise, according to people with knowledge of the decision. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the personnel matter publicly.

Spicer's daily press briefings had become must-see TV until recent weeks when he took a more behind-the-scenes role. Sanders has largely taken over the See Spicer, Page 8

When it comes to 21st century multimedia platforms, “hyper local” is a term you hear a lot.

It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newpapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore.

But, day in and day out, The Westfield News provides consistant coverage of the stories you need to know about, that are important to your city, town, neighborhood and home.

Sen. Humason

Continued from Page 1

With Mass DOT (Department of Transportation) now having the ability to give a more extensive look into this situation, Humason is certain of what the main problem is.

“The real issue is just to determine where along the turnpike corridor between (Exits) two and three, there’s the proper access and space to do an on and off ramp,” said Humason.

Since the state already owns property in Blandford from trying to build an interchange many years ago, Humason feels that Blandford would be a reasonable spot to have a ramp.

“It depends on how much money they (the state) want to spend,” said Humason.

Humason also points out that the exact location of the on and off ramp would have to be completely safe. According to Humason, DOT has described in the past that vehicles can’t go from merging onto the pike at a very minimal speed, and then State Senator Don going up to 65 miles per hour once getting onto the highway, Humason (R-Westfield) especially since someone else is already flying down the high- (WNG File Photo) way at a high speed.

That instance is why Humason believes that an on and off ramp would be the best option.

“Even though you’re not doing a new interchange, you might have to do an on ramp or an entry lane to enable you to get up to speed so you can merge safely into traffic that is already going that speed,” said Humason.

The approval of the study is at least a sign that there could be progress moving forward.

“We put this amendment forward before and it passed in the senate, I don’t think it ever made it through the house,” said Humason. “But it has now, and the Governor has signed it, which I hope means that he and the Secretary of DOT are okay with this idea.”

Humason also noted that a lot of truck drivers are in favor of the turnpike study because they don’t want to go through all of the small roads that they go through in that 30-mile span.

By JOHN BROICH Case Western Reserve University (THE CONVERSATION) In late May 1940, Vic Viner was one of the 338,000 Allied troops on the beaches around the French port of Dunkirk hoping for rescue as the German Army neared and the Luftwaffe circled above.

At age 99, Viner met with Christopher Nolan, writer and director of a new movie about the evacuation, and tried to give the filmmaker some sense of what it was like to be trapped on those beaches. But, he insisted, “You can’t tell anybody what it was like. You had to have been there.”

Nolan and his collaborators certainly do their best to bring experiences like Viner’s to life for moviegoers. The film “Dunkirk” portrays a sequence of terrors: the horrible vulnerability of being prey to a swooping dive bomber; the helplessness of watching a ship list and hurry under the waves; the bitter necessity of pushing desperate men away from an overburdened lifeboat.

In one scene, the film follows the crew of a small civilian boat as it lifts survivors from the sea off of Dunkirk. One, a Royal Navy sailor whose ship has been torpedoed by a U-boat, huddles on the boat unresponsive.

“Is he a coward?” one of the boat’s crew asks its skipper, played by Mark Rylance.

“He’s shell-shocked, George,” the captain replies. “He’s not himself. He may never be himself again.” It’s a foretelling of the reality for many of those who returned, changed from Dunkirk.

Preserving the voices of survivors Documenting the reality of those shellshocked survivors is what London’s Imperial War Museum had in mind when it recorded interviews of scores of veterans in the 1990s and early 2000s. Those interviews show that the horror stayed with many of them long after they were freed from a deathtrap between the German Army, the Luftwaffe and the sea.

As a WWII historian, I’ve found those tapes – many free to stream – substantiate the film’s depictions of anguish. But, even more, they add the dimension of time and the long echoes of that anguish which the film can’t capture.

On his 1999 recording, Will Harvey tells how shrapnel from a German bomb tore through his legs as he waited for his chance to board a ship. In the pain and confusion, he mistakenly thought his legs were gone. “You lost a bit of your senses.”

His voice cracks, but he covers it up with an out-of-place laugh. These are commonplace in the tapes, along with obvious restraint and overall evasion of grim details.

Asked about his recovery, Harvey says, “I used to get aggressive, at times, with the blokes, you know. I’d try to control it. I used to get very aggressive.”

He tried to return to his unit but, suffering from a series of breakdowns from then on, he was soon discharged from the Army. After that, he tried and failed to reenlist in the Marines.

As a 21-year-old, Al Tyers found himself directing men onto awaiting ships at Dunkirk, ordered to give priority to the Army and male refugees of fighting age over the many civilians who were also trying get away from the oncoming Germans. “As many as could go on a ship…they packed you in like cattle,” he says. But then, “they put that siren on, that screaming siren,” just before the German dive bombers would rush over the treetops aiming for the departing ships. Moments like this are

depicted with hair-raising effect in the film.

“A ship would get loaded up – I don’t know, a thousand or so… and get half a mile out.

And the next thing, you’d see the ship going down.” Tyers fails to hide the emotion in his voice at that; like other interviewees, he diverts from the terrible scene quickly.

Back in Britain, Tyers suffered from debilitating claustrophobia. He spent three months in psychiatric hospital, but even afterwards newsreels depicting war scenes would send him rushing outside to the open air. Back home, he couldn’t sit shoulder to shoulder with people at meals.

“I don’t know whether they understood or not.”

Other voices from the archive speak of trouble reintegrating into civilian life. William Machin, Charles Mandeville and Harry Garrett tell of being hounded by nightmares.

Ernest Leggett describes how he still saw French and Belgian refugees being shattered

by German bombers and fighters in his dreams decades later.

Treating the ‘sufferers’ There’s plenty of evidence of Dunkirk survivors being institutionalized. Doctors documented that many evacuees inundating hospitals in Britain were “suffering,” in the words of one psychiatrist, “from acute hysteria, reactive depression, functional loss of memory or the use of their limbs.” But the wartime government didn’t keep track of the numbers.

It wasn’t in its interest to report on it. They also didn’t track veteran suicides, an epidemic among today’s combat veterans. But there’s evidence of them.

Suicides on the beaches around Dunkirk were also uncounted, but some are documented. Christopher Nolan’s depiction of a soldier striding into the waves, apparently intending to “walk home,” is based on more than one real incident. Many others wandered off, senseless, to unknown fates. Others shot themselves.

And there are official records of lingering and often debilitating anxiety among the Dover-based crews who braved repeated crossings of the channel with evacuees. A secret memo produced two months afterward reported a spike in anxiety problems, with more than one in seven sailors on the station affected.

Indelible memories For those evacuees, eventually shifting to civilian life was hard. “Started having psychological problems, you know.… Almost passing out every now and again. … Suddenly you’re dropped off a cliff… You’ve come unhinged,” Reg Dance says on his 1999 tape.

“It took an awful long time for that to go. But it did in the end, otherwise I wouldn’t be here.”

Fred Walton made it off the beach, but the paddle steamer he was on was bombed while he was on the upper deck. A man nearby had both legs blown off. The man next to Walton was cut by shrapnel and almost leaped into the sea, panicked. Walton had to pin him down.

“How do you forget those sorts of things?” he asked his Imperial War Museum interviewer. “Don’t think you can ever be the same, can you?” He breaks off with another of those awkward laughs.

At the time Walton was interviewed in 2008 tape, 4,000 British troops were still in Iraq.

“It’s showing itself again, isn’t it?” says Walton. “The lads who are coming home now?”

“It gives people a personal involvement in the property,” said Clark.

Being a band-jam event, there will be no shortfall of entertainment. Steve Piper, Vinnie Pagano and friends will be performing, along with Cold Shot and the Time Stretchers.

“Great live music, a lot of local talent,” said Clark.

briefings, turning them into off-camera events.

The White House had been looking for a new communications director for several weeks, but struggled to attract an experienced Republican hand. Scaramucci, a former Democrat — like Trump — who once called his new boss a "hack politician," began seriously talking to the White House about the position this week, and the president offered him the job Friday morning.

A person with knowledge of the decision said Trump has been impressed by Scaramucci's defense of the White House on television and by his handling of a recent incident with CNN. The cable channel retracted a story about Scaramucci and fired three journalists.

A shift in briefing-room tone and style was immediate.

Scaramucci's delivery was smooth and polished. Spicer, who displayed a sometimesfiery and occasionally flustered demeanor in on-camera exchanges with reporters, became widely known, particularly through an impersonation by Melissa McCarthy on NBC's "Saturday Night Live." McCarthy's signature move was to plow down reporters with the podium when exasperated by questioning.

Spicer had long sought the strategic communications job for himself and had been managing that role along with his press secretary duties for nearly two months.

He had spent several years leading communications at the Republican National Committee before helping Trump's campaign in the general election. He is close to White House chief of staff

Reince Priebus, the former RNC chair.

Priebus told The Associated Press he supports Scaramucci "100 percent," despite reportedly trying to prevent the financier from getting multiple administration positions.

Ivanka Trump, the president's daughter, and her husband, powerful senior aide Jared Kushner, had known Scaramucci for years from New York and pushed for his hire.

Scaramucci, a frequent visitor to Trump Tower during the transition, is expected to play a visible role as one of Trump's defenders on television. But Spicer and other officials questioned his hiring as communications director ahead of the president's push to overhaul the tax system and other policy issues.

As a Wall Street titanturned-TV talking head, Scaramucci has no government experience and no experience crafting communication strategy around policy.

The White House said he will officially take over the role on Aug. 15.

It's unclear whether the new leadership will lead to a more open White House.

Scaramucci did not commit to putting briefings back on camera full-time. He also offered a level of support for some of Trump's more outlandish statements, including his unsupported claim that millions of illegal votes were cast in the 2016 election.

"If the president says it ... there's probably some level of truth to that," he said.

He also made clear that he would continue Trump's efforts to push back against media reports he doesn't like — and would do a better job of selling his victories.

Tough going

By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Westfield Babe Ruth Baseball 13-Year-Old All-Stars, and the other 0-2 tournament teams have likely heard the phrase “when the going gets tough, the tough get going.”

The tough start to the regional tournament continued Friday night for Westfield at Bullens Field, falling to Trumbull (Conn.) in a five-inning (mercy-shortened) affair 15-1.

Westfield and the other three winless teams will attempt to get things going quickly before they find themselves gone.

On Friday night, Trumbull struck quick and often.

Westfield Babe Ruth Baseball 13-Year-Old All-Star Ryan Lapoint tries to make the tag at second base with shortstop After drawing consecutive walks to begin the first inning, Dylan Moran followed with a run-scoring single up the middle. A basesloaded walk from Justin Delaney resulted in the game’s second run. Another run scored on Grayson DeFelice’s fielder’s choice to make it 3-0. Westfield starting pitcher Riley Sullivan limited the damage though, striking out the ninth batter of the inning with the bases loaded to end the inning.

Trumbull extended its lead in the second inning to 7-0, the key hits being an RBI double from Jack Wallace and Jack Liguori’s run-scoring single.

For all intents and purposes, Trumbull effectively ended the game in the third inning. A combination of walks, errors, a Luke Masiok RBI double, and RBI singles from DeFelice and Moran made it 15-0.

Westfield broke up the shutout when Danny Provost singled home a run in the fifth before the mercy-ruling was invoked.

In other games Friday, Tri-County (Maine) doubled up Burlington (Vermont) 12-6, Keene (N.H.) routed North Providence (R.I.) 11-2, and Pittsfield edged Newton in an all-Massachusetts tournament game 4-3. All three winners improved their tournament standing to 2-0.

Keene (N.H.) collides with Tri-County (Maine) in a matchup of unbeaten Saturday morning at 11:30. The other two tournament unbeatens, Pittsfield and Trumbull, meet at 4:30.

Westfield returns to action Saturday against Newton (Mass.) at 7 p.m.

Hyper • Local

When it comes to 21st century multimedia platforms, “hyper local” is a term you hear a lot.

It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newspapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore.

But, day in and day out, The Westfield News provides consistant coverage of the stories you need to know about, that are important to your city, town, neighborhood and home.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

Spieth turns into a beauty on a nasty day at British Open

By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer SOUTHPORT, England (AP) — Jordan Spieth expected a rough time at the British Open before he even got to the golf course.

He spent Friday morning at his rented house in front of the television, watching players battle a relentless wind at Royal Birkdale, all the while checking a forecast that was even worse for when he played in the afternoon.

"It wasn't a great feeling knowing we were coming into something harder than what we were watching," he said.

Spieth did more than just survive.

With a short game as sharp as it has been all year, and a 3-wood that turned out a lot better than it looked and led to an eagle, Spieth seized control with a 1-under 69 that gave him a two-shot lead over Matt Kuchar going into the weekend.

Spieth turned a bogey or worse into an unlikely par by chipping in from just short of the 10th green. And he learned enough from watching TV to know that going a little long on the par-5 15th would give him a better birdie chance than playing short. So he switched from a 3-iron to a 3-wood, hit it a little off the neck and watched it run hot and fast some 100 yards along the wet turf to about 18 feet away.

"I mishit the shot, which is probably why it looked so gross," Spieth said. "I hit it low off the heel, which is easy to do when you're trying to carve a cut. And it just ... one hop, scooted around the group of bunkers there, and then it was obviously fortunate to get all the way to the green."

The flight of that 3-wood looked as ugly as the weather. The outcome was as bright as his chances of getting his name on another major championship trophy.

Spieth was at 6-under 134. It was the 12th time he has been atop the leaderboard at a major, including the fourth rounds of the Masters and U.S. Open that he won in 2015.

Spieth is the sole leader at a major for the first time since the third round of the Masters last year, when he was runner-up to Danny Willett.

"Anytime you're in the last group on a weekend in a major ... you get nervous. And I'll be feeling it this weekend a bit," he said.

"But I enjoy it. As long as I approach it positively and recognize that this is what you want to feel because you're in the position you want to be in, then the easier it is to hit solid shots and to create solid rounds."

Kuchar played in the morning in steadily strong wind, but without rain, and pieced together a solid round until a few mistakes at the end for a 71. He was at 4-under 136, and it would have been a good bet that he would be leading with the nasty weather that arrived.

"I think that's what people enjoy about the British Open is watching the hard wind, the rain, the guys just trying to survive out there," Kuchar said. "Today is my day. I get to kick

back in the afternoon and watch the guys just try to survive."

He wound up watching another short-game clinic from Spieth.

The key to his round came in the middle, starting with a 10-foot par putt on No. 8 after he drove into a pot bunker. The biggest break came at No. 10, when the rain was pounding Royal Birkdale. Spieth hit into another pot bunker off the tee, could only advance it out sideways, and came up short of the green in light rough.

"Massive," he said about the chip-in par.

"Nothing said '4' about this hole. I feel a little guilty about taking 4 on the card."

And he wasn't through just yet. Spieth rolled in a 35-foot birdie putt across the 11th green, and then after watching Henrik Stenson's tee shot on the par-3 12th land softly, Spieth realized he could take on the flag. He hit 7-iron to 2 feet for another birdie, and followed that with a beautiful pitch to tap-in range for par on the 13th.

Even so, his work is far from over.

The chasing pack features U.S. Open champion Brooks Koepka, who failed to make a birdie but stayed in the hunt with 16 pars in a 72, and Ian Poulter with his newfound confidence, which is growing even higher with the support of the English crowd. Poulter shot 70.

Not to be overlooked was Rory McIlroy, who recovered from a horrific start Thursday to salvage a 71, and then kept right on rolling.

McIlroy, who was 5 over through the opening six holes of the tournament, ran off three birdies with full control of every shot on the front nine.

And much like Spieth, he kept his round together with crucial par saves early on the back nine when the wind was at its worse.

McIlroy posted a 68 and was at 1-under 139, only five shots behind with only five players in front of him.

"To be in after two days and be under par for this championship after the way I started, I'm ecstatic with that," McIlroy said.

Not everyone got off so easy.

Justin Thomas, who started the second round just two shots behind, drove into the gorse on the first hole and took double bogey.

That wasn't nearly as bad as the sixth hole, where he tried three times to hammer out of the thick native grass well right of the fairway. He couldn't find the ball after the third one, and he wound up taking a quintuplebogey 9. Thomas made another double bogey on the 13th hole and shot 80.

Spieth never looked as if he was under any stress, except for his tee shot into the bunker on No. 8. A British writer suggested a lipreader could have detected some choice words coming out of his mouth. Spieth smiled and replied, "I speak American. You probably didn't understand me."

The language of his clubs — especially the wedge and the putter — was all too familiar.

Dear Annie

By ANNIE LANE

Sisterly Friction Dear Annie: My conflicts with my sister, “Amy,” began when she crossed boundaries in an incident between our adult children.

My daughter, “Leslie,” decided that she no longer wanted to live in an apartment she shared with Amy’s daughter. Amy’s daughter, in turn, chastised Leslie and me, using vulgarity. Amy took her daughter’s side and blamed us.

The conflicts then continued when it was time to settle our parents’ estate. She refused to give me my inheritance. Her lawyer, who is a friend of hers, is biased and will not abide by the will, which says that all “should be fair and equitable.” Nothing has been equitable for me. I left my job to care for my mother until her death. Amy did very little.

There are so many more problems between us. Amy is a narcissist. She has no respect for boundaries. She lashes out at others constantly. She talks poorly about everyone (family included) and passes judgment on everyone except her own children. She does nothing for others unless there is something in it for herself. She says, often and proudly, “I make other people do my dirty work.”

She is toxic and has never apologized to me for anything, and I know she never will. She invites my family to her family events and pretends there is no problem. I have stayed clear of some family functions when she has been there. I have my own family events and have no desire to invite her or her adult children. (It is sad, but it is what it is.)

I have endured her bullying for many years but can no longer do it without losing my self-respect. I remain conflicted about this but don’t want to be drawn into her chaos. I am done with taking the high road. What do you think? -- Disgusted Dear Disgusted: I think the high road is a good place to be if you’re trying to gain distance from your sister; her route seems considerably lower. Don’t let her drag you into that gutter. If you’re concerned about getting your inheritance, hire your own lawyer to advocate for you so you don’t have to battle it out yourself. Keep her out of your life, and don’t involve yourself with hers. Loving her from afar might be the only way for you to love her.

Dear Annie: This is in response to a recent column of yours that featured a letter about children misbehaving in television commercials. The letter writer, “Watching in Disbelief,” was upset to see such behavior presented as cute or otherwise acceptable. Dear “Watching”: Say something!

I saw some advertisements on TV recently that sent bad messages. One showed young kids passing a big rig on a two-lane rural road. The driver was wearing a seat belt, but his girlfriend wasn’t.

I called and complained, and now it’s gone. If you see something, say something. But be nice when saying it. -- Taking Action Dear Taking Action: Great points in your letter, especially that last one. We’re always free to speak up, and it costs nothing to be polite when doing so.

HINTS FROM HELOISE HEADLINE Dear Heloise: GARDENING is a relaxing and fun hobby for me. I’ve come up with my favorite gardening hints: * My spade and shovel get a quick spray of silicone lubricant - this allows the dirt to slide right off. * A good way to add nutrients to the soil is with Epsom salts, which are made of magnesium and sulfate. A small amount (less than a tablespoon) mixed in the watering can will do the trick. (Don’t use table salt.) * Ask the neighborhood coffeehouse for some used coffee grounds. They nourish the soil, too - and usually are given away free! * Plastic forks upright in the garden can deter critters. * I can start seedlings in a cloth shoe rack with dirt in each pocket. * I cut the arms off an old sweatshirt and wear the sleeves when I’m pruning the roses. The heavy material protects my arms from thorns. * Compost is always in season: eggshells, veggie clippings, shredded newspaper and cotton fibers.

I hope your readers will find these hints useful! - Helen T. in California PET PAL Dear Readers: Ed T. in San Antonio sent a picture of his dog Billy Boy. Billy is a dorkie - that’s a dachshund mixed with a Yorkie! Ed found Billy living as a stray on the streets in South Texas and had to bring him home.

Now Billy is spoiled! He sleeps in the crook of Ed’s arm. Billy is sticking his tongue out at the camera!

To see Billy Boy and our other Pet Pals, visit www.Heloise. com and click on “Pet of the Week.” - Heloise THE NEED TO READ Dear Heloise: I love to read. I read everything - newspapers and books, books for school and learning and history, and fun books about my favorite superheroes!

My parents even taught me to love poetry and biographies.

Reading out loud is a fun family activity. We sometimes end up in stitches, but we learn a lot. We’ve replaced our TV time with family reading time. My sister and I have so much fun.

I recommend reading for everyone, especially over the summertime! - Ryan N., age 13, in Chicago

On The Tube Creators of new HBO series address fears it glorifies racism NEW YORK (AP) — No scripts have been written, not even an outline.

But HBO’s announcement on Wednesday that the creator-showrunners of “Game of Thrones” will follow up that massive hit with an HBO series in which slavery remains legal in the modern-day South drew fire on social media from those who fear that telling that story will glorify racism.

The series, “Confederate,” will take place in an alternate timeline where the southern states have successfully seceded from the Union and formed a nation in which legalized slavery has evolved into a modern institution. The story follows “a broad swath of characters on both sides of the Mason-Dixon Demilitarized Zone,” HBO said — “freedom fighters, slave hunters, politicians, abolitionists, journalists, the executives of a slave-holding conglomerate and the families of people in their thrall.”

It is not expected to start production for at least a year.

“Confederate” will be created and written by “Game of Thrones” masterminds David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, who will also serve as showrunners on the series. Both are white.

HBO’s announcement also said they would join forces with Malcolm Spellman (“Empire,” the forthcoming “Foxy Brown”) and Nichelle Tramble Spellman (“Justified,” ‘’The Good Wife”), husband-and-wife TV veterans who both are black and who will be fellow executive producers and writers on the new series.

“This is not going to be, you know, the big ‘Gone With the Wind’ mansion,” Nichelle Tramble Spellman told Vulture in an interview with the entire creative team that was posted Thursday night to address the backlash. “This is present day, or close to present day, and how the world would have evolved if the South had been successful seceding from the Union.”

She said what excited her about the

project is “the idea that in order to build this, we would have to rebuild world history: ‘OK, if this had happened here, how did the rest of the world change?’”

Other series have imagined uncomfortable alternate versions of history, notably Amazon’s “The Man in the High Castle,” which depicts life in the United States had the Nazis won World War II. But slavery in the United States is a far more sensitive and lingering issue.

Malcolm Spellman’s take on it: “You’re dealing with weapons-grade material here.”

But he said he and his wife “are not props being used to protect someone else. We are people who feel a need to address issues the same way they do..”

Weiss called slavery “our original sin as a nation. And history doesn’t disappear. ... It’s an ugly and a painful history, but we all think this is a reason to talk about it, not a reason to run from it. And this feels like a potentially valuable way to talk about it.”

Know that you can resolve it soon.

Tonight: Do not push a loved one too hard.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH A friend’s imagination delights you to no end. This person is capable of making fabulous plans. The two of you might decide to buy tickets to an upcoming concert or comedy show.

Make a point of reaching out to someone at a distance. Tonight: You do not need to go far.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You could be full of ideas, but you might shy away from the costs of implementing them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Understand what is happening around you. You might feel as if you have been placed in a positive position. You could be getting important feedback that allows you to make some excellent choices. Zero in on a long-term goal. Tonight: Tap into your imagination.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH One-on-one relating, financial dealings with others and honing in on your sixth sense all will become important soon. Fortunately, you know what you want, and therefore you are likely to succeed. Consider scheduling a trip in the near future. Tonight: Reach out to a loved one.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Defer to others and examine their requests, especially if you are getting a negative response. Know that you won’t always agree with a key person. Learn to accept your differences. You could be surprised by how a new attitude can change a situation. Tonight: Accept an offer.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Don’t push someone too far, unless you are ready to deal with an odd or difficult reaction. A need to add a sense of closeness to your interactions will define your actions. Get together with others, and make fun and imaginative plans. Tonight: Do whatever would please you.

NASCAR THIS WEEK

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

NEW HAMPSHIRE

SPEED FREAKS A few questions we had to ask ourselves Hamlin wins; who’s next to end a drought?

GODSPEAK: The stars are aligned for Kyle Busch to win Indy; it’s just gonna happen.

KEN’S CALL: Kyle is the easiest call, but I’m going with Clint Bowyer, who is way, way past due.

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

758 720 650 639 589 587 572 564 552 526 524 486 472 455 441 428 427 404 369 363

Not us, that’s for sure. After winning the 89th Busch/ Nationwide/Xfinity Series race of his career this past weekend, Kyle Busch said that once he makes it to 100 wins, he’s “retiring” from moonlighting on that circuit. In a world where sponsor commitments and team-funding structures are often stretched way into the future, no driver can make such a commitment. In other words, if Kyle gets win No. 100, yet is contractually obligated to run several more Xfinity races, he’ll likely run several more Xfinity races.

No Dodge?

Dale Earnhardt Jr. looked fast at New Hampshire, but it was an illusion. [NASCAR GETTY IMAGES/SEAN GARDNER]

THREE THINGS WE LEARNED 1. Junior mystery

2. Fast cars

3. Pothole repair

Dale Earnhardt Jr. unloaded slow and stayed slow during the entire New Hampshire weekend. Funny thing, N.H. Motor Speedway and Phoenix are similar, and he has three wins out West. “Didn’t have good speed,” he said Sunday.

“The best we were going to run was 10th probably, ended up 18th.”

Bill France Jr. used to say of the race field, “They are all good cars,” then would add, “Just some are better than the others.” Such is the case in 2017. Kyle Larson and Martin Truex Jr. continue to dominate.

Larson has seven second-place finishes, plus two wins.

NASCAR has come a long way from the 2010 Daytona 500, which was red-flagged twice to fix a pothole in Turns 1 and 2.

Officials found a baby pothole at New Hampshire, stopped the race for about five minutes, made the repair, and it was never an issue.

THREE THINGS TO WATCH 1. Full circle

CUP SERIES: Brickyard 400 SITE: Indianapolis Motor Speedway (2.5-mile rectangle) TV SCHEDULE: Saturday, practice (CNBC, 9 a.m. and 11 a.m.), qualifying (NBC Sports Network, 6 p.m.).

Sunday, race (pre-race coverage begins on NBC, 2 p.m.; green flag, NBC, 2:45 p.m.)

Kyle Busch has gone full circle since his last NASCAR Cup Series victory at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2016.

Since kissing the bricks, Busch has not won another race, a streak of 35 races. Now that Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Denny Hamlin has broken the losing jinx, will Busch become the first driver to win three consecutive Brickyard 400s?

“This sport is built of momentum,” JGR teammate Daniel Suarez said.

CAMPING WORLD TRUCKS: Aspen Dental 150 SITE: Eldora Speedway (half-mile, dirt oval) TV SCHEDULE: Wednesday, race (Fox Sports 1, 9 p.m.)

Speaking of funding structures, the Chrysler folks have reportedly decided it’s not worth the commitment to return to NASCAR with the Dodge. Late last year, much premature noise was made when the idea was broached. But according to a report from automotive website “The Drive,” the flirtation died on the vine.

New manufacturer blood, from wherever, would still be a nice jolt, however.

FEUD OF THE WEEK

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

W H AT ’ S O N TA P

XFINITY: Lilly Diabetes 250 SITE: Indianapolis Motor Speedway TV SCHEDULE: Friday, practice (NBC Sports Network, 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.). Saturday, qualifying (NBCSN, 12:30 p.m.), race (NBCSN, 3:30 p.m.)

Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

Who’s Kyle kidding?

Will this start a run for Gibbs Racing?

GODSPEAK: Joe Gibbs Racing is now cleared for takeoff.

KEN’S CALL: Doubtful.

23 years of summertime Brickyard 400s. Favorite memory?

GODSPEAK: Dale Jarrett had the fastest car in 1998, lost four laps when he ran out of gas, but finished 16th on the lead lap, then won in 1999.

KEN’S CALL: Easy, Geoff and Brett Bodine playing “Family Feud” at the inaugural running.

QUESTIONS & AT T I T U D E

2. Busch retirement?

Busch, 32, plans to retire from racing in a few years.

OK, don’t panic. The 2015 Cup Series champion told SiriusXM NASCAR Radio he plans to stop racing in the Xfinity Series when he gets to 100 wins. Right now he is at 89 and counting. Busch’s goal

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)

Jones

Hamlin

ERIK JONES VS. DENNY HAMLIN: Jones said he made contact with Hamlin on an early pit stop, which led to him blowing out a tire and smacking the wall on Lap 41.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: The two drivers will be teammates at Joe Gibbs Racing, so there wasn’t any fingerpointing or name-calling by Jones on this incident. But he was not happy.

Kyle Busch, shown here in the green car, led 95 laps at New Hampshire, but watched his losing streak extend to 35 races.

[NASCAR GETTY IMAGES/CHRIS TROTMAN]

was to top Richard Petty’s 201 national series wins record (the King had one win in the Convertible Series). Between Cup, Xfinity and Cup, Busch is at 175.

3. Logano’s plight Joey Logano won a race, but still has not qualified for the NASCAR playoffs because the golden ticket was snatched

from his hand when his car failed post-race inspection at Richmond. After finishing 37th on Sunday and falling in points, he needs to find a victory again to make the postseason.

“Must win,” he said. “Back against the wall. The team has it in them. We just have to get faster to be able to do that.”
