Police and fire rescue woman stuck in river

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD–The city’s police and fire departments helped to rescue a woman who was stuck in mud in the Westfield River Thursday evening.

Westfield Police and Fire Departments received a call for two women in the river around 5:30 p.m. The two women became stuck in the mud and one was able to get herself out, while the other was unable to free herself and became injured.

This prompted the response from police and fire.

Personnel from both departments initially had difficulty locating the two women, since they had to find where in the Westfield River they were. They first responded to Pochassic Road, but later found that the two were located off of Carol

Drive.

Police were able to locate the victims first and were able to free the woman from the mud prior to Westfield Fire Department’s arrival.

Westfield Fire paramedics transported the woman, who remains unnamed, to Baystate Noble. The condition and injuries are also unknown at this time.

A total of four police vehicles and five fire vehicles responded to the call.

According to Westfield Police, people are not supposed to be swimming in the river but it’s not posted everywhere. Sgt. Jeff Baillargeon noted that, “If you’re not a strong swimmer don’t go in. We do four or five drownings in the Westfield River a year.”

By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent WESTFIELD – The Friends of the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail are looking for the community’s support in the next couple of days. It has just recently been announced that the funding for the completion of the rail trail in Westfield has been pushed back.

The latest year for the funding was set for 2017 and is now moved to 2019. When construction of this project began in 2012 the hope was of having a finished rail trail in 2017.

The original cost of the entire project has been estimated at $6,784,161. Since the money has been given, supporters of the project have been committed to seeing it become a success.

“We were given money MARK CRESSOTTI and we were working diliCity Engineer gently to get the project going and completed and meeting those timelines,” said Westfield City Engineer Mark Cressotti.

As the rail trail has been completed up to Main St. in town, the final phase to connect the whole project is finishing up the trail from Main St. to the Westfield River.

With this section being the central phase of the project, there are five bridges from Main St. to the Westfield River that are involved with the phase.

“We need to let it be known this is an important element, an important project,” said Cressotti.

Since the project is pushed back to 2019 as of now, expressing the importance of it has become the primary issue for the Friends of the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail and its supporters.

“The concern of course is that if it keeps getting pushed back, it will never get done,” said Chairman of the Friends of the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail Joe Giffune. “We’d love to see it (project) ruled back to 2017,” said Friends of the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail member Don Podolski.

“We really don’t want to see it move any further than it has.”

This is where the many voices of the community can matter the most. The City of Westfield and the Friends would like to hear the community’s input. Any voice on the matter can help support the cause of trying to get this project finished and not delayed any further than it should.

After all, the work the City of Westfield has done for the project has been appreciated and it shouldn’t go to waste.

“The city really has done a fantastic job about being ready to get these projects moving forward,” said Giffune.

The complete deadline for the community to make a public comment on the Draft TIP is July 24. If you would like to express your thoughts or concerns on the project being pushed back to 2019, please contact the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission at their Springfield office at 413-7816045.

Too busy for Pokemon? These entrepreneurs will play for you NEW YORK (AP) — Too busy with your real life to play the hit augmented reality game “Pokemon Go”? For a price, some entrepreneurs will play the game for you.

New ads are popping up on Craigslist nearly every day from people who say they will log on to your “Pokemon Go” account and effectively run up your score while you are stuck at work or sitting in class.

On a recent July afternoon, two 24-year-old Pokemon “trainers,” Lewis Gutierrez and Jordan Clark, walked through Brooklyn’s Prospect Park with their eyes glued to their phones, tapping and swiping away to catch virtual Pokemon for clients paying about $20 per hour for the service.

Gutierrez, who described himself as a welder and writer, said he began by helping relatives with the game after it was released in the U.S. in early July.

Then he put a post on Craigslist advertising his services professionally.

He said he was immediately

inundated with requests from potential customers and had to recruit Clark, a part-time wine purveyor, to help.

“I couldn’t even do it by myself,” Gutierrez said. “I had two phones. I was doing, like, ten-hour days and I got my friend Jordan to come along with me. And now it looks like we are going to have to hire another person. So, it’s just been booming.”

The two college friends liken the service to dog walking and call themselves Pokewalkers.

And they aren’t the only ones getting in the game. One trainer in London offers to boost your Pokemon account up to Level 20, which is very high, for a price of $185. Others offer Uber-like driving services with the promise of taking a player to some of the hottest Pokemon hunting grounds around the city.

Played on smartphones, “Pokemon Go” has been a phenomenon since its release. The game involves going to realworld locations to chase virtual characters from the classic

Nintendo game.

Paying people to play a game for you might seem to defy common sense, but Gutierrez and Clark say clients come to them mainly for two reasons.

They want to compete in the game at a high level, but they don’t have time to roam the city and play the game all day. Or, they are getting ready for a “Pokedate.”

“It’s a good first date for Tinder,” said Clark, referring to the location-based dating app.

“A lot of people are meeting up that way.” Some want to impress their potential partners by being in the game at a respectable level.

Leveling-up services aren’t unique to Pokemon Go. The clandestine practice already occurs with online multiplayer role-playing games such as “World of Warcraft” and “Destiny,” where paid professionals help clients gain the necessary experience and resources in the game to compete at a high level when they are actually playing for themselves.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Saturday, July 23, the 205th day of 2016. There are 161 days left in the year.

O

n July 23, 1996, in one of the best remembered moments of the Atlanta Olympics, Kerri Strug made a heroic final vault despite torn ligaments in her sprained left ankle as the U.S. women gymnasts clinched their first-ever Olympic team gold medal.

ON THIS DATE: In 1885, Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th president of the United States, died in Mount McGregor, New York, at age 63.

In 1886, a legend — or myth — was born as Steve Brodie claimed to have made a daredevil plunge from the Brooklyn Bridge into New York’s East River. (However, there are doubts about whether the dive had actually taken place.)

In 1914, Austria-Hungary presented a list of demands to Serbia following the killing of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by a Serb assassin; Serbia’s refusal to agree to the entire ultimatum led to the outbreak of World War I. In 1945, French Marshal Henri Petain (ahn-REE’ pay-TAN’), who had headed the pro-Axis Vichy (vee-shee) government during World War II, went on trial, charged with treason. (He was convicted and condemned to death, but the sentence was commuted to life in prison. On this date in 1951, Petain died in prison.)

In 1977, a jury in Washington, D.C. convicted 12 Hanafi Muslims of charges stemming from the hostage siege at three buildings the previous March.

In 1982, actor Vic Morrow and two child actors, 7-year-old Myca Dinh Le and 6-year-old Renee Shin-Yi Chen, were killed when a helicopter crashed on top of them during filming of a Vietnam War scene for “Twilight Zone: The Movie.”

(Director John Landis and four associates were later acquitted of manslaughter.)

In 1984, Vanessa Williams became the first Miss America to resign her title, after nude photographs of her taken in 1982 were published in Penthouse magazine.

In 1986, Britain’s Prince Andrew married Sarah Ferguson at Westminster Abbey in London. (The couple divorced in 1996.)

In 1990, President George H.W. Bush announced his choice of Judge David Souter (SOO’-tur) of New Hampshire to succeed the retiring Justice William J. Brennan on the U.S. Supreme Court.

TEN YEARS AGO:

In 1962, the first public TV transmissions over Telstar 1 took place during a special program featuring live shots beamed from the United States to Europe, and vice versa.

Former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was hospitalized on the 17th day of a hunger strike; he appeared thinner but healthy at his trial a few days later. American Floyd Landis won the Tour de France (however, he was later disqualified for doping). Tiger Woods became the first player since Tom Watson in 1982-83 to win consecutive British Open titles.

Zuleyka Rivera Mendoza of Puerto Rico was crowned Miss Universe 2006 at the pageant in Los Angeles.

In 1967, a week of deadly race-related rioting that claimed 43 lives erupted in Detroit.

Singer Amy Winehouse, 27, was found dead in her London

In 1952, Egyptian military officers led by Gamal Abdel Nasser launched a successful coup against King Farouk I.

FIVE YEARS AGO:

home from accidental alcohol poisoning. Retired Army Gen. John Shalikashvili, the first foreign-born chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, died at Madigan Army Medical Center near Tacoma, Washington, at age 75. Nguyen Cao Ky, 80, the flamboyant former air force general who’d ruled South Vietnam for two years during the Vietnam war, died in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. A bullet train crash in southern China claimed 40 lives.

ONE YEAR AGO: Secretary of State John Kerry told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee it was “fantasy plain and simple” to claim that President Barack Obama had failed to insist on enough restraints on Iran’s nuclear program before agreeing to lift economic sanctions. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump paid a visit to the Mexico border, where he predicted Hispanics would love him, adding, “They already do.” A gunman opened fire in a Lafayette, Louisiana, theater during a screening of the film “Trainwreck,” killing two people and wounding nine before fatally shooting himself.

CHESTER 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.

Clinton makes a confession: ‘Ted Cruz was right’

By NOLAN D. MCCASKILL Politico.com Hillary Clinton did the unthinkable Friday, by her own admission.

“I mean, I never thought I would say these words, but Ted Cruz was right,” Clinton quipped at a rally at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa.

The Texas senator spoke on Day Three of Donald Trump’s national convention but got booed off the stage for telling Republicans to “vote your conscience” in November after snubbing the GOP nominee on an endorsement in a prime-time address.

“Did any of you watch that convention in Cleveland?”

Clinton asked, drawing boos from the crowd. “Well, you know, it was kind of perversely flattering. It’s hard to believe they spent so much time talking about me and no time talking about jobs or education or health care.”

Regardless of personal politics, Clinton said, “I think we can all agree that never in the history of conventions, certainly, but I think even more broadly, have we moved forward together by pointing fingers and scapegoating and blaming people instead of rolling up our sleeves, getting a plan together and then working to achieve it.”

“I mean, something has gone terribly wrong when one speaker says ‘vote your conscience’ and gets booed,” Clinton added.

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee also blasted her rival for the rhetoric that came out of his convention. Clinton insisted that the America that Republicans in Cleveland described this week isn’t “the country we know and love.”

But Trump himself, Clinton said, took the “dark and divisive” vision that was on display to new heights Thursday.

“He offered a lot of fear and anger and resentment but no solutions about anything that he even talked about,” Clinton said, noting that she didn’t hear any policies to put Americans to work and keep them safe, while also casting Trump as an unqualified candidate whose distorted vision of the country is out of touch with everyday Americans.

“You could listen to that speech and you could think, ‘My goodness, he believes America is in decline.’ And I gotta say, as he said this last night, I was pretty shocked,” Clinton said.

“He said, ‘I alone can fix it.’ Now just think about that for a minute because it's really important. His vision of America is one where we Americans are kind of helpless, we need to be rescued. I can't really imagine him on a white horse, but that seems to be what he's telling us.”

The former secretary offered her optimistic vision of a united America but concluded her rally not with the much-anticipated reveal of her running mate, but with a message for voters to remember come November.

“Here’s what I want you to remember — my last thought for you today,” she said. “Just remember, love trumps hate.”

Potential Clinton running mate makes rounds in New England NEWPORT, R.I. (AP) — One of the leading contenders to be Hillary Clinton's running mate wasn't dropping any hints whether he was the choice of the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee as he traveled through New England.

Virginia U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine waved to reporters but kept his window up Friday as he was driven into a private fundraiser in Newport, Rhode Island, hosted by fellow Democratic U.S. Sen. Jack Reed.

Reed said earlier in the day that Kaine would make a good vice president because of his intellect and temperament.

Kaine also attended a private midday fundraiser Friday at the University of Massachusetts Club in Boston.

Former Massachusetts Treasurer Steve Grossman, who was at the Boston fundraiser, said Kaine told those at the event that he doesn't know if he's Clinton's vice presidential pick.

Trump’s RNC address: Fact or fiction?

The GOP nominee rolled out a series of frightening statistics about the state of the nation. They ranged from accurate to incomplete to outright false.

By JOSH GERSTEIN, DANNY VINIK, KATY O'DONNELL, TIMOTHY NOAH and DOUG PALMER Politico.com Donald Trump will paint a grim picture of America while accepting the GOP presidential nomination Thursday, describing a crime-ridden nation in economic decline whose standing is slipping abroad.

In his prepared remarks, Trump makes his case with a string of eye-opening statistics. But while some of those stats are spot on, others are misleading due to a lack of context — or are outright falsehoods.

Here’s Politico’s fact check of Trump’s Republican National Convention address.

National Security and Immigration Hillary Clinton proposes admitting new Syrian refugees “despite the fact that there’s no way to screen these refugees in order to find out who they are or where they come from.”

That’s untrue. In fact, the federal government has an extensive screening process for refugees—a process that often takes 18 to 24 months to complete and includes in-person interviews and biometric checks. That’s a major reason why the U.S. has taken in so few Syrian refugees, despite President Obama’s promise to increase that number. Trump’s statement may be referring to congressional testimony last year by FBI Director James Comey. He said, “I can’t sit here and offer anybody an absolute assurance that there’s no risk associated with this.” However, that’s very different than saying there’s no way to screen them whatsoever.

“The number of new illegal immigrant families who’ve crossed the border so far this year already exceeds the entire total from 2015.”

Trump’s speech suggests a surge of illegal-immigrant families is swarming into the U.S. over the Mexican border, but Trump’s figures are garbled. Such immigration did pick up this year, but seems to be ticking down again and is still below the surge in 2014 that caught the Obama administration off guard.

Looking just at immigrants crossing as families this year, 29,682 people in families were intercepted coming across the southern border since January, according to the Border Patrol. Total immigrant family crossings in 2015 were 53,840 people, the agency’s stats show.

So, where did Trump get his assertion that the numbers “this year” are more than all of last? He may be using the federal government’s fiscal year that starts in October. Since October, 51,152 people came across illegally in families, versus 39,838 in Fiscal 2015. That sounds high, but in Fiscal 2014, 68,445 illegal family-border crossers were identified.

“The Iran [nuclear] deal ... gave back to Iran $150 billion.”

Trump often criticizes the United States for giving $150 billion to Iran through the nuclear deal. He’s referring to the Iranian assets that the U.S. froze through its sanctions.

Experts aren’t certain how much is frozen in total, with many estimating a lower figure.

The nuclear deal allows Iran to access some of this money as the U.S. and other countries lift sanctions on Tehran.

However, other sanctions remain in place and so far, Iran has only received a few billion dollars under the deal. The reasons for that are varied and Iran will likely unlock more funds in the months and years ahead. But they haven’t suddenly received a $150 billion windfall as Trump suggests.

Crime: “Decades of progress made in bringing down crime are now being reversed by [the Obama] Administration’s rollback of criminal enforcement. Homicides last year increased by 17% in America’s fifty largest cities.”

Trump’s picture of a nation beset by violent crime is drawn almost entirely by a spike in murders and shooting in many big cities, but the official, national numbers still show such violence below where it was when President Barack Obama took office.

Trump cites a 17% increase in homicide in America’s 50 largest cities in 2015, a figure that appears to come from a Washington Post analysis of data the paper gathered earlier this year. The FBI’s annual report for 2015 is still not out, but a half-year report out in January had murders up 6.2% nationally. Still, according to the official, full-year national tallies, murder rates have declined nationally under Obama from 5.4 per 100,000 in 2008 to 4.5 in 2014.

Trump’s claim that the blame lies with Obama is also a dubious assertion since the vast majority of policing is done at a municipal or county level. It’s possible Obama’s pronouncements on police-involved violence have contributed to some pull-back on the part of local cops, but it’s difficult

to believe that the federal government is the key actor in whatever is behind the surge.

“The number of police officers killed in the line of duty has risen by almost 50% compared to this point last year.”

Trump may actually be understating the case, but the total number of police intentionally killed while on duty each year is relatively small, so it’s hard to know whether swings in the figures represent a trend or random variation.

Trump’s statement seems to be taken from a July 9 USA Today story that said 26 officers had been shot and killed up to that point this year, compared with 18 to the same point last year — an increase of 44%, according to statistics from the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. Sadly, five more officers have been shot and killed in the past 10 days or so, including three in Baton Rouge, La. Sunday and one in Kansas City, KS Monday, bringing the tally of officer gun deaths to 31, or 58% higher than this point last year, the organization said.

The Economy: “America is one of the highest-taxed nations in the world.”

The claim, one he’s made on the campaign trail, is untrue.

Among the world’s developed nations, the U.S. tax rate is below average. As a share of GDP, the total U.S. tax rate – at all levels of government -- is 24 percent, compared with the 34 percent average in the OECD. Among the 34 OECD countries, just Chile and Mexico collected less in 2012, the Tax Policy Center notes.

Breaking it down into individual income rates, the U.S. still isn’t “one of the highest.” The top federal individual income rate in the U.S. is 39.6 percent, which doesn’t crack the top 40 in the accounting firm KPMG’s list of top rates in over 100 countries. Adding state and local taxes would push the U.S. up, but at the same time the 39.6 percent rate also doesn’t account for deductions and breaks.

“Household incomes are down more than $4,000 since the year 2000.”

This one is true. In 2000, real median household income was $57,724. By 2014, it was down to $53,657, a bit higher than its post-recession low of $52,605 but still $4,000 below its 2000 level.

“Decades of record immigration have produced lower wages and higher unemployment for our citizens, especially for African-American and Latino workers.”

The impact of immigration on U.S. wages is very much in dispute, with many studies finding none at all. Harvard economist George Borjas, the most eminent scholar to doubt immigration’s benefits, worked mightily to demonstrate that immigration was depressing wages for native-born Americans but found no significant effect except for high school dropouts.

Between 1990 and 2010, he found, immigration lowered wages for high-school dropouts by 6.2 percent in the short run and 3.1 percent in the long run.

“Nearly four in 10 African-American children are living in poverty, while 58% of African American youth are not employed. 2 million more Latinos are in poverty today than when the President took his oath of office less than eight years ago. Another 14 million people have left the workforce entirely.”

Trump is technically right that 58 percent of AfricanAmericans between 16 and 24 were not employed in June, but that statistic is highly misleading. That figure includes many people who are not looking for a job — students, for instance.

Economists look at the unemployment rate instead. For AfricanAmericans, the youth unemployment rate was 22.4 percent in June.

As for Latinos in poverty, Trump’s claim overshoots federal data. The best data on poverty comes from the Census Bureau.

In 2009—the year Obama took office—12.35 million Hispanics lived in poverty. By 2014, the most recent data, it was up to 13.1 million. That’s still a significant increase but the Hispanic population also increased by eight million during that period.

For that reason, the Hispanic poverty rate only increased slightly, from 23.2 percent to 23.6 percent.

President Obama has doubled our national debt to more than $19 trillion, and growing.

Trump is technically right here but he’s using a misleading statistic. The gross national debt did rise under Obama from just under $10 trillion to over $18 trillion at the end of 2015. But that nominal number is meaningless without providing further context of the U.S.’s ability-to-repay that debt. Experts instead look at a country’s debt-to-GDP ratio for a more comprehensive metric. Under Obama, the U.S.’s debt-to-GDP has risen from 67.7 percent to 101.8 percent—a big increase but not a doubling.

Hillary Clinton America has lost nearly-one third of its manufacturing jobs since 1997, following the enactment of disastrous trade deals supported by Bill and Hillary Clinton. Remember, it was Bill Clinton who signed NAFTA, one of the worst economic deals ever made by our country.”

The number of U.S. manufacturing jobs peaked at nearly 20 See Fact Checks, Page 7

6 men added to state sex offender most wanted list FRAMINGHAM, Mass. (AP) — Three men convicted of child rape are among six fugitives who have been added to the Massachusetts State Police Most Wanted Sex Offenders list.

The men added to the list Friday are all actively being sought by state police, and all are listed as Level 3 sex offenders, considered the most likely to re-offend.

They are all wanted for failing to register as a sex offender as required by state law and should all be considered dangerous.

One of the men was convicted of indecent assault and battery and open and gross lewdness and lascivious behavior whose victims were two joggers and a woman pushing a baby stroller.

Anyone who knows of their whereabouts can call state police at 1-800-KAPTURE. ——— ONLINE http://www.mspnews.org/2016/07/six-fugitives-added-tomost-wanted-sex-offenders-list/

Wynn wins key environmental permit for Boston-area casino

By PHILIP MARCELO Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Wynn Resorts has fended off a challenge to a key state environmental permit as it looks to finally start construction on its nearly $2 billion Boston-area casino.

Martin Suuberg, commissioner of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, issued a decision Friday upholding the award of a public waterways license to the Las Vegas-based company in January.

Wynn said it will immediately start construction on the resort casino complex planned for the Mystic River waterfront in Everett once the environmental license is in hand. It's aiming for a 2019 opening.

"This hopefully concludes one of the longest and most publicly scrutinized environmental licensing award in the history of the Commonwealth," Robert DeSalvio, president of Wynn Boston Harbor, said in a statement. "Crews and resources are being readied and mobilized."

But Somerville Mayor Joseph Curtatone, who had challenged Wynn's environmental permit, says his administration is reviewing Friday's decision and pursuing other ways to block the project.

The city, which sits across the river from Everett, had argued in its appeal that state environmental officials hadn't properly considered all air pollution and traffic effects.

Curtatone noted that Friday's decision included new stipulations advocated by Somerville, such as a requirement that Wynn provide a ferry service from Boston to the casino and a reduction in the duration of the license from 85 years to 50 years, among other things.

Somerville has until Aug. 2 to ask Suuberg to reconsider his decision. It can also appeal in state Superior Court.

The city already has four other legal actions pending, including a challenge to the company's gambling license, awarded in 2014.

Wynn secured local building permits and had begun some environmental cleanup on the former chemical plant site in Everett before Somerville's challenge halted work indefinitely.

It's among two developers planning major resort casinos in Massachusetts. MGM is building one in the western Massachusetts city of Springfield, and the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe is building another resort south of Boston in Taunton.

Plainridge Park, a more modest slots parlor and harness racing track, is already operating near the Rhode Island state line in Plainville.

Blandford to host The Civil War Ballroom

Vacation Bible School Southwick Community Episcopal Church was privileged to host another fantastic week of kids, teens and adults for a week of Vacation Bible School. Since 2006, SCEC has provided five days of fun, excitement and learning about God and the life God offers. The week is so much fun and important that adults use their vacation time or rearrange their work schedules for a ministry to kids from Pre K through fifth grade. Kids enjoy it so much they return as Jr. Leaders to help out as they get older. Families come to Southwick from Agawam, Westfield, and Connecticut. One family comes from Maine and makes the week a vacation! Another great week! (Photos submitted)

BLANDFORD — On Saturday, August 6, at 7:00 pm, a dance performance entitled The Civil War Ballroom will take place at the Blandford Town Hall and provide a glimpse into the 19th century.

“Mrs. Lincoln encouraged that dances be held during the Civil War to keep up the morale of the American people,” explains Josephine Sarnelli, the artistic director of Small Planet Dancers. “Our reproduction hoop dresses are made out of cotton fabric, as they would have been during the economically challenging times of the war period, rather than the finer brocades used prior to the war.”

Small Planet Dancers, a community-based performance dance troupe that focuses on historicallyaccurate cultural dance, will transport everyone on a journey back in time with Quadrilles, Waltzes, Polkas and the Marzuka. The history of the dances and the struggles of the Civil War will be woven into the evening’s presentation. There will also be an opportunity for the audience to participate in the Grand March.

This free event is open to the public. “It will begin with a potluck supper, so people are asked to bring a dish of their choosing,” encourages Margit Mikuski, Director of the Blandford Council on Aging. “We will provide coffee, lemonade, nonalcoholic mint juleps and peach cobbler.”

This program is sponsored by a grant from the Blandford Cultural Council, a local agency supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council.

For more information, visit the website www.

million jobs in 1979. They totaled 16.8 million in 1994, when NAFTA went into effect. They totaled 17.1 million when George W. Bush moved into the White House in 2001 and 12.5 million when he left in 2009.

They now total about 12.3 million after nearly eight years of Barack Obama's administration. Despite the decline in employment, U.S. manufacturing output has doubled in recent decades, thanks to advances in technology. Taken alone, manufacturing in the United States would be the ninth-largest economy in the world, according to the National Association of Manufacturers.

As for NAFTA, it was negotiated by the Republican administration of George H.W. Bush, who signed the agreement in Dec 1992. Bill Clinton won bipartisan approval of the pact after defeating Bush in that year's election and signed the implementing legislation in Dec 1993.

“We must abandon the failed policy of nation building and regime change that Hillary Clinton pushed in Iraq, Libya, Egypt and Syria.”

Trump goes hard at Clinton for pushing regime change in Syria and elsewhere, but his message on that point is out of step with what one of his biggest backers—New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie—told the convention just two nights ago.

The slam of Clinton for supporting regime change is fair enough: she did unsuccessfully press Obama to take

a more aggressive stance against the Assad regime in its brutal conflict with rebels. She also joined Obama in declaring that Assad had to go, even though the U.S. has been ineffectual in making that happen.

What’s odd about Trump’s dig against Clinton for being too hostile to Assad is that Christie leveled just the opposite criticism at the former secretary of state Tuesday.

“In Syria, imagine this, imagine this. [Clinton] called President Assad a ‘reformer.’ She called Assad a ‘different kind of leader,’ " Christie said. "There’s now 400,000 now dead — think about that. Four hundred thousand dead at the hands of a man that Hillary defended."

Christie’s quotes of Clinton were somewhat out of context. In the 2011 CBS interview, she appeared to be quoting comments from lawmakers who’d met with Assad (one of whom happens to be current Secretary of State John Kerry), and she never quite said if she agreed with their assessment.

Either way, it might be wise for the GOP to pick a Syria critique of Clinton: either that she coddled Assad or that she unwisely pressed to topple him. To argue both at once could be a hard sell.

As a final note, the inclusion of Iraq on the list of foreign policy failures is a bit of a dig at President George W. Bush, the president who ordered the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Trump has ripped Bush for this before, but Thursday night, his name was omitted for the loyal GOP audience.

SPORTS Palma named WSU, MASCAC ‘Woman of Year’ WESTFIELD – Recent Westfield State University graduate Naloti Palma has been named as a candidate for the NCAA’s Woman of the Year award.

Palma, who completed a stellar career in the track and field throwing events, capped her career at Westfield with her sixth appearance in an NCAA Championship meet and earned All-America honors with an eighth-in-the-nation finish in the shot put.

Palma was also a CoSIDA Academic All-District selection, and was chosen as the MASCAC Female Scholar Athlete of the Year.

She was selected as Westfield State University’s NCAA woman of the year candidate, and in turn was chosen as the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference’s candidate.

Candidates are nominated and selected based on academic achievement, athletic excellence, service and leadership and a personal statement.

The NCAA Woman of the Year award honors graduating female college athletes who have exhausted their eligibility and distinguished themselves throughout their collegiate careers in academics, athletics, service and leadership.

This pool of school honorees marks the largest in the 26-year history of the award. Of the nominees for the national award, 231 competed in Division I, 117 competed in Division II and 169 competed in Division III athletics. The nominees also represent 21 different women’s sports, and 127 of the nominees competed in more than one sport in college.

The Woman of the Year selection committee, made up of representatives from the NCAA membership, will then choose the top 30 honorees – 10 from each division.

From the top 30, the selection committee determines the top three honorees from each division and announces the nine finalists in September. The NCAA Committee on Women’s Athletics then chooses from among those nine to determine the 2016 NCAA Woman of the Year.

The top 30 honorees will be celebrated and the 2016 NCAA Woman of the Year winner will be announced at the annual award ceremony Oct. 16 in Indianapolis.

Mayor Brian Sullivan signs up to be a volunteer for the Babe Ruth World Series

By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent WESTFIELD — The 2016 14-year-old Babe Ruth World Series is quickly approaching as it begins on August 10 and finishes on August 18.

Westfield Babe Ruth President Dan Welch and World Series volunteer Coordinator Chris Gezotis made an appearance at the Mayor’s Office late Thursday afternoon.

Mayor Brian Sullivan made his pledge to the Babe Ruth World Series by signing up as a volunteer. After exhausting through all of the possible volunteer options, Mayor Sullivan chose to be a press box runner.

The process of volunteering was rather simple for the Mayor as he went onto www.westfieldworldseries.com and clicked on the “How You Can Help” tab. In that tab, there is a list of volunteering options and at the bottom of the page there is a green box to click for filling out the volunteer form.

The progress for finding volunteers is being made as 57% of the volunteer positions have been filled. With the Babe Ruth World Series less than three weeks away, Mayor Sullivan, Welch, and Gezotis are looking for the Westfield community to reach out and volunteer their time for this event.

NALOTI PALMA

Owls’ Pechulis to Ride in Pan Mass Challenge WESTFIELD – Westfield State women’s lacrosse coach Jeff Pechulis will ride in the Pan-Mass Challenge bicycle ride to support the Jimmy Fund and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute.

The Pan-Mass Challenge riders cover a variety of routes on August 6 and 7. Pechulis has chosen to ride from Sturbridge to Provincetown, a route that makes an overnight stop at fellow MASCAC school Massachusetts Maritime Academy and is regarded as the toughest route among those offered by the PMC, with nearly 200 miles of riding over the two day event.

Pechulis is riding the route for the second straight year.

“The experience last year was amazing” said Pechulis. “Hundreds of families, patients and loved ones line the bike route each day to cheer us on and wave signs like ‘You saved my mommy’ or ‘I’m alive because of you’. Over 4,000 volunteers are on hand throughout the ride to first thank us for riding and then to keep us hydrated, nourished and motivated.”

Westfield State University student athletes and coaches make significant contributions to community service throughout the year, donating more than 1,500 hours of community service.

Last September, Pechulis and members of the Owls women’s lacrosse team volunteered at the Team Lenhardt golf tournament in Duxbury, Mass. to help in the battle against cancer.

If you’d like to support coach Pechulis’ ride, you can learn more or make a gift online at http://profile.pmc. org/JP0381 On the field, Pechulis coached the Westfield State women’s lacrosse team to a 14-5 overall record and a share of the MASCAC regular season title. He was named the circuit’s coach of the year as well as the league’s sportsmanship coach of the year. – Courtesy of Westfield State Sports

Introducing WOW’s Slugger Sam WESTFIELD — Westfield Creative Arts (WCA) together with Westfield on Weekends, Inc. (WOW) announces their newest Buyer’s Choice character, which have been so popular during “Westfield’s Dickens Days” in December of each year. In honor of the Babe Ruth League’s World Series scheduled to take place in Westfield’s own Bullen’s Field August 9 – 19, 2016, please meet: “Slugger Sam,” the sixth in this series of collectables.

“The WOW Board decided, at the end of last year, rather than introducing this new character during Dickens Days 2015, to delay presentation of our next figure until the middle of this year to help build the excitement of Westfield’s hosting the Babe Ruth World Series this August,” explained Jay Pagluica, President of WOW. “The shoppe at the Rinnova Gallery has had a number of requests since last December about the arrival of the ‘next’ in this collectable series,” added Lester Walshin, Founder of WCA. Sam is ten inches tall and holds one end of a bat in his right hand. The emblem on his

uniform is a “W” – for our own historic Westfield Wheelmen. The price of one is $49.95, plus tax. The first shipment of 100 has been received but that won’t last long, so get your order in fast. All proceeds from this sale will be used to support the continuing community programs sponsored by WOW and WCA. “Sugger Sam” is prominently displayed in the Gallery Windows.

Stop by the Rinnova Shoppe/Gallery to see “Sam” and/or place your order. Enjoy a variety of arts and crafts on display, including gourds, lamps, Westfield Note cards, jewelry and some truly beautiful pieces of art – all created by local and/or regional artists. The variety presented is as impressive as the quality.

Having relocated to the Rinnova Building at 105 Elm Street last year, WCA offers various adult classes in quilting, watercolor painting, oil painting, basket making, chair caning, knitting, crocheting, stained glass making, as well calligraphy.

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.

THE 2015-16 OWLS SWIMMING AND DIVING TEAM

Owls’ swim team named Scholar All-America WESTFIELD – Westfield State University’s women’s swimming and diving team has been recognized as a Scholar All-America Team by the College Swimming & Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA).

The Owls posted a collective 3.38 grade point average for the spring 2016 semester, while turning in a 5-3 dual-meet record in the pool. Westfield State had a .500 or better overall record for the 23rd consecutive season under longtime head coach Dave Laing.

To be selected as a CSCAA Scholar AllAmerica Team, programs must have achieved a grade point average of 3.00 or higher over the Spring semester.

The College Swimming & Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) designated 658 men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams, representing 388 colleges and universities as Scholar All-America teams. The recognition comes as a result of each team’s classroom performance in the past semester.

It is only the second time in the program’s 30+ year history of the program that more than 600 teams.

MASCAC ACADEMIC HONOR ROLL LEADERS: A total of 853 student-athletes have been honored by the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference with selection to the league’s Spring 20 16 AllAcademic Team that was released earlier today by Commissioner Angela Baumann.

Student-athletes that compete in championship varsity sports offered by each of the MASCAC institutions during the course of the spring 2015 athletic season and have achieved a 3.20 cumulative or semester-based grade point average during the semester are eligible for selection to the Spring AllAcademic Team. The sports recognized are baseball women’s lacrosse, softball and men’s and women’s outdoor track and field. The team also includes student-athletes that competed in winter sports during the spring semester.

Westfield State University closed out the spring semester with the most student-athletes on the 2016 MASCAC Spring All-Academic Team with 263 total while Bridgewater State University and Fitchburg State University are

next with 127, Worcester State University landed 105 and Salem State University rounded out the group with 75 student-athletes on the team.

“The increase in numbers on the MASCAC Spring All-Academic Team continues to show the strength of academics among the MASCAC student-athletes,” Commissioner Baumann said. “Our student-athletes continue to thrive in the classroom while being successful in the field of play and around the community which is a true testament to the MASCAC and Division III philosophy.”

The Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference, the nation’s oldest Division III men’s and women’s playing conference, has a rich and storied tradition of competitive success while celebrating excellence in the classroom. MASCAC member schools include Bridgewater State University, Fitchburg State University, Framingham State University, MCLA, Massachusetts Maritime Academy, Salem State University, Westfield State University and Worcester State University.

Two other institutions, the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and Plymouth State University, are affiliate members of the conference in the sports of football and men’s ice hockey, while Western Connecticut State University joined the conference as an affiliate member in football beginning in 2014.

WOMEN’S SOCCER TO HOLD CLINIC: Westfield State University women’s soccer and head coach Todd Ditmar will host a soccer ID clinic on Sunday, August 14, 2016 from 11:00 AM to 5:30 PM. The clinic is open to 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 high school graduation class members.

This clinic is designed for elite players interested in competing at the college level.

The sessions are designed to valuate individual skill, moment, and knowledge of the game while educating players on small and large soccer concepts. Goal Keepers will receive goalkeeper specific training.

There is a fee of $60 per player for participation in the I.D. Clinic. For full details and registration please view the attached Soccer ID Clinic Flyer and Registration Form.

Gibson holds Boston to 2 hits, Twins beat Red Sox 2-1

By DOUG ALDEN Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Kyle Gibson put an end to a two-game hitting outburst by the Red Sox, allowing just a pair of hits in the first inning and none over the next seven as the Minnesota Twins edged Boston 2-1 Friday night.

Brian Dozier hit a solo home run for the Twins in the second inning and Miguel Sano added an RBI single in the sixth. It was all the scoring Minnesota needed as Gibson (3-6) did the rest.

The Red Sox got a leadoff homer from Mookie Betts and a one-out single by Xander Bogaerts in the first, then went hitless until the bottom of the ninth against closer Brandon Kintzler.

Kintzler got his seventh save, preserving the lead in a wild bottom half of the ninth. Michael Martinez and Dustin Pedroia started the inning with consecutive singles and Bogaerts walked to load the bases with nobody out and slugger David Ortiz coming up next.

Kintzler got Ortiz to ground into a double play, then Hanley Ramirez flew out to right to end the game and Boston’s three-game winning streak.

Eduardo Rodriguez (2-4) allowed two runs on six hits and struck out eight and walked one over 5 1-3 innings for Boston. Joe Mauer was the only batter Rodriguez walked, reaching with one out in the sixth before Heath Hembree took over for the Red Sox. Hembree walked Dozier, then Sano doubled to

score Mauer with what would be the winning run.

After Bogaerts’ single in the first, Boston didn’t get another man on base until Gibson walked Brock Holt to lead off the sixth. Dozier got Holt with a diving stop on a hard shot up the middle and nearly doubled up Michael Martinez at first.

Gibson and the Twins got right out of the threat when Pedroia grounded into a double play.

TRAINERS ROOM Twins: C Kurt Suzuki was not in the starting lineup for the Twins, getting some rest and avoiding the heat. The temperature at gametime was 92 degrees. Manager Paul Molitor said Suzuki should return Saturday.

Red Sox: Betts left the game in the fifth inning with soreness in his right knee. RHP Junichi Tazawa (right shoulder impingement) returned to the roster after being activated from the 15-day DL. UP NEXT Twins: RHP Ricky Nolasco (4-8, 5.02) gets his team-high 20th start. Nolasco also shares the team lead for losses, picking up his eighth Monday despite holding Detroit to one run on three hits and three walks in six innings.

Red Sox: LHP David Price (9-7, 4.36) gets his first start since taking the loss Sunday when the Yankees ended Boston’s six-game winning streak.

Price struck out just one batter in 5 2-3 innings, ending a string of three straight starts with at least 10 strikeouts.

Your openness helps deepen the relationship. PISCES is quite attracted to you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You might need some time off.

You seem to have difficulty stepping forward, especially since you feel as if you have not received all of the facts. Follow your intuition, and be aware of the options available to you in your day-today life. Tonight: Someone whispers in your ear.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Friends surround you. You know this, but you’ll derive a lot of satisfaction from also feeling it. With so many loved ones stopping by to visit, you will receive confirmation of your popularity.

Make plans to bring everyone together.

Tonight: Be where the action is.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You might wonder whether you really need to make an effort to join others. You would like to be somewhat freer. On the other hand, making the party rounds could be fun. Once you see one person after another, your plans will change again. Tonight: Give up being rigid.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You could be taken aback by all of your responsibilities, and might find it hard to relax at home. Plan a day to escape from your daily life, and you will relax. You’ll be amazed by the power of a different setting; you will feel rejuvenated. Tonight: Wherever there is great music.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH One-on-one relating proves to be far more satisfactory than visiting in groups. Everyone knows this, which is one of the reasons why people often prefer to deal directly with others. Be willing to revise your schedule as the day becomes older. Tonight: Paint the town red.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Others seek you out. All you need to do is respond accordingly. You might wonder why there is a sudden change in activity. Use caution, because someone who is interested in you might not be the person he or she projects to be.

Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks off.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Your energy might not be able to handle all the summer fun today.

Consider relaxing the day away or going to a movie. Recognize that this is your weekend, too. Take care of yourself, because if you don’t, you won’t be able to extend yourself to others. Tonight: Your call.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Understand that you don’t need to say anything; you’ll just stroll the beach or join a friend for lunch, and almost immediately there will be a buzz of popularity circling you. Know that this type of interest doesn’t occur very often.

Tonight: Choose a favorite pastime.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Your family might have different plans for you from the ones you have made, which could create an awkward situation. You will try to squeeze in everyone and everything. Somehow, you could be on a collision course. Learn to flex a little. Tonight: Make your choices accordingly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Too many people seem to change themselves in order to come out on top. You think this behavior is good gamesmanship, but others might not agree. Sometimes your need for control interferes with your authenticity. Be aware of how you come off. Tonight: Where the action.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Your playfulness emerges, despite feeling as if you would like to go shopping or visit with a friend. Temptation seems to appear at every twist and turn, and you might decide to toss caution and self-discipline to the wind. Tonight: You are earning the reputation of a wild thing.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Squeeze in a nap before heading out to all the social events of the

day. You love catching up on your friends’ and loved ones’ news.

Others might be eyeing you with rose-colored shades on. Take advantage of the moment. Tonight: Say “yes,” then decide where and with whom.

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

How big is this headache?

SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves Does all the concussion talk shorten Junior’s career?

GODSPEAK: This is the third concussion we know about. It looks like he is hitting the rev limiter in this area.

KEN’S CALL: Absolutely. If he’s looking for a reason to hit the beach early, this is it.

How do you fail inspection and still win the race?

GODSPEAK: NASCAR uses computers and lasers now in post-race inspection.

The guess here, a minor infraction.

KEN’S CALL: Ask Mild Matt.

Once they brought scientific tools into the tech garage, the world changed. You now have technical infractions and technical victories.

If you’re Jeff Gordon, do you ever consider putting on the uniform again?

GODSPEAK: For a roll at Indianapolis? Absolutely. Go for it, man. What could go wrong?

KEN’S CALL: Maybe for an oldtimers race at Go-Kart City.

Brickyard, never!

ONLINE EXTRAS news-journalonline. com/nascar

1. Junior surprise

It’d be that big of a blow?

Dale Earnhardt Jr. had to sit out Race 19 (of 36) after exhibiting concussionlike symptoms during a medical examination earlier in the week. The surprise was that he remained inside the cut line for the Chase playoffs. He now sits on the Chase bubble, 14 points ahead of Trevor Bayne.

Absolutely. Over the past decade-plus, plenty of lifelong fans have found reason to be upset with a sport they love. Many still hang in there, but some gave up.

Undoubtedly, many of those who are still hanging in there are old Earnhardt fans (the No. 3) who continue hanging in there because of Junior. If Junior goes, some of them go, maybe along with some, or many, or most, of the younger fans Junior brought in on his own.

2. Two-face race

What if you were Junior?

Sunday’s race in New Hampshire had two personalities. Over the first 219 (of 301) laps, there were two cautions.

Over the last 82 laps, there were five more, which helped scramble the field and completely change the finish of the race. Greg Biffle finished fifth? See what we mean?

3. Mile master There are three NASCAR Cup Series ovals that measure a mile or real close to it — Phoenix, Dover and Loudon.

Matt Kenseth has won two of those races this season.

Each of those tracks has a Chase event, which puts

I’d obviously be torn, assuming he still enjoys the racing aspect of his career.

If this issue forces him into retirement sooner than he’d planned, it’s not like he could occasionally scratch his racin’ itch at some late-model track near home.

He’d be done with it entirely. The good news is, he seems to have a rather full and fun life away from the track, so he’d be busy and happy. NASCAR’s Boys in Marketing … not so much.

Kenseth in a good position, at least on paper. His issue with NASCAR's post-race laser inspection at New Hampshire might be a negative factor,

3 THINGS WE LEARNED FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE

Technically, we don’t know how the issue with Junior Earnhardt’s concussion symptoms will play out. That’s the thing about the brain — it’s a mystery and answers to no timetable. But without question, we know this: If Junior decides he doesn’t want to risk further longterm effects, and retires either relatively soon, very soon or perhaps even immediately, NASCAR’s movers and shakers will be reaching for the Tylenol.

Nine times since the inaugural Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 1994, the race winner has gone on to win NASCAR Cup Series championship honors.

The 160-lap race at Indy has become something of a title tell. Jeff Gordon was the first to do it in 1998, and Kyle Busch pulled it off last season. Other names on the list are Dale Jarrett, Bobby Labonte, Tony Stewart and Jimmie Johnson (three times).

2. 500 boost?

CARL EDWARDS VS. RYAN NEWMAN: “They checked up in front of me and I got (Edwards) and crossed him up and took about three other guys out,” Newman said. “But, that was ‘racin,’ I guess.”

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: That might have been Newman’s view of the accordionlike incident late in the race, but Edwards made no comment after the event, and that’s never a good sign.
