By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—Police warned of a recent spate of bicycle thefts plaguing the city. According to Westfield Police Capt. Michael McCabe, roughly 20 bicycles have been reportedly stolen in Westfield in the past month. While this sort of crime tends to happen in the warmer months, McCabe noted that bicycles stolen are traditionally unsecured but that was not the instance in at least one case. “Two bikes were stolen with locks cuts,” McCabe said. “It’s unusual to have bikes stolen with the locks cut. Usually it’s a crime of opportunity.” According to McCabe, the two bicycles were allegedly stolen in one incident, so while two items were taken it is viewed as one case. Otherwise, he said that this was the only incident where the bicycles that were taken were secured. According to McCabe, the police incidents of reported bicycle larcenies since May 1 is 15. These 15 suspected larcenies, according to McCabe, total an estimated $5,000 in value reported lost. McCabe said that residents should continue to practice safe keeping of the bicycles in light of the recent thefts. “Lock the bike, keep it inside. You have to take some precautions,” he said. In addition, bicycle owners should write down the serial number of the bicycle, otherwise it is “almost untrackable,” McCabe said. He added that police are aware of a suspected “group of kids” that are allegedly taking bicycles and painting them.

7th Annual KJM Tournament is a hat-trick By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent WESTFIELD – It’s just about that time of year again; the 7th Annual Kevin J. Major Memorial Hockey Tournament is taking place from August 8 through 13 at Amelia Park Ice Arena. The tournament will once again offer the perfect hat-trick; hockey, a great cause, and a sense of community. The tournament is hosted by KEVS Foundation, a 501.3C and non-profit organization, who started the event back in 2011, in honor of Kevin Major, who passed away in 2011 at age 19 of sudden cardiac arrest. The tournament that started with 12 teams in 2011 has evolved to 30 teams last year with three divisions; pro, social, and old boys. Each team is guaranteed three games and the top teams will compete in the championships on Sunday August 13. Even though games get underway on Tuesday August 8, the official opening ceremony will take place at Noon on Saturday August 12. Members of KEVS Foundation will spend some time recognizing some of the work that the organization has done recently. Both the silent auction and 50/50 raffle begin on Friday at 3 p.m. and run until Noon on Sunday. Some of the raffle items

Movie night under the stars continues Saturday By LORI SZEPELAK Correspondent WESTFIELD-For those of us old enough to remember the Sundown Drive-In Theater in the Hampton Ponds area or the Red Rock Drive-In in Southampton – those memories curled up with a blanket in the back seat of our family car are etched in our minds. This summer, the drive-in theater experience – 21st century style – continues with three movies on the grounds of the Amelia Park Children’s Museum on South Broad Street. The movies are sponsored by the Westfield Rotary Club and hosted by museum staff. The first movie, “The Bee Movie,” was screened June 24 and approximately 50 area residents attended. “Trolls” will be shown The Secret Life of Pets See Movie Night, Page 8 tonight, Saturday, July will be shown Aug. 12. 29 at 8 p.m.

Preview of Special City Council Meeting on Monday By AMY PORTER Correspondent WESTFIELD – With the next regular City Council meeting scheduled for August 24 and urgent business to complete, Westfield City Council president Brent B. Bean, II has scheduled a Special City Council meeting for this Monday, July 31 at 5:30 p.m. in City Council chambers. “We really don’t like to do special meetings,” Bean said, adding, “Every year most councilors make time. The issues are high priority; as a collective group they responded.” He said only one councilor had a scheduled vacation and can’t make it. One of the high priority issues is a special permit for extended hours of operation for Boise Cascade, a request that first came before the City Council in March. After several public hearings, reviews by committee and amendments to the original special permit, the matter is up for a vote. “It would be unfair to make them wait another month,” Bean said. He said the lumberyard has done its due diligence to accommodate neighbors, and has spent money and time addressing issues of hours, light, and noise from their operation. “They’re in a tight spot,” he added. Another time sensitive issue is the vote to approve the $250,000 appropriation from the Community Preservation Committee for the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail. The urgency is to meet engineering and design deadlines for a $6.25 million state and federal match for the central portion of the trail, currently slated for 2019. “This is a situation in which we removed $250,000 from the general budget and in turn used CPA funds,” Bean said. He credited Ward 6 Council William Onyski for coming up with the idea, adding that other towns use CPA funds for their bike trails. Bean said questions about the legality of using CPC funds have been answered by the Law Department. “We’ll rely on them,” he said. The first item on Monday’s agenda will be a vote to authorize a new intergovernmental agreement between the City of Westfield and Westfield Gas & Electric Municipal Light Department for internet connection services. Currently, the city is operating on a month-to-month agreement with Comcast, with whom they had a previous threeyear contract. Bean said the sooner the City Council authorizes the agreement, the sooner they can meet Comcast’s 30 day cancellation notice. “We can then light the city up… with Whip City Fiber,” he said. Bean said Comcast “has been great,” both responsive and understanding. He also added that many residents still have Comcast. “We’re creating competition. In the end, it will save residents money on their bills,” Bean said. The City Council will also vote on a resolution approving the appropriation of monies for the creation of an accessible playground in the City See City Council, Page 7

Lottery luck strikes twice for Quebec man who won millions QUEBEC CITY (AP) — There are lucky men, and then there’s Jules Parent. For the second time in nine years, the 69-year-old Quebec retiree has won a million Canadian dollars playing the lottery. Parent muses, “Was I born under a good star?” He showed up at lottery offices to pick up a check for $1,222,069 after winning the jackpot from an online play worth $3.20. LotoQuebec places the odds of such a bet at about one in 23 million. Parent also won $1 million back in 2008. He said Thursday that gambling is one of his favorite pastimes along with walking, hunting and fishing, and he intends to keep playing. He also plans to build a new home. In Parent’s words: “It won’t be a castle, but it will be in the modern style.”

Greetings Ward 3 and Westfield,
Update from At Large City Councilor Dondley At Mayor Sullivan’s community picnic earlier this week, I had the opportunity to chat a bit with Harry Rock, the former Executive Director for Westfield’s YMCA and the person currently leading the organization of festivities to celebrate Westfield’s 350th anniversary in 2018. I was immediately struck by Harry’s relentless, upbeat optimism and positive spirit. My encounter with Harry lifted my own spirit. He reminded me of all the great people in Westfield working to build and improve our community. It’s easy to forget about people like Harry. They aren’t attention seekers. They aren’t out for personal glory or looking for accolades. They do what they do because they know their work is important and needed. Harry and others like him understand that civic life isn’t about figuring out what can be extracted from it, it’s about finding ways of contributing to make civic life better for others. There are hundreds and thousands of people like Harry across Westfield. Day in and day out, they quietly do their work helping to organize sporting events, holding bake sales, staging cultural events, going to meetings and doing whatever they can in large ways and small to enhance our community and improve the lives of others. We live, however, in very cynical times. And the ease with which we can now communicate has given voice to extremely cynical, toxic individuals who build themselves up by doing their best to tear others down. It can be difficult to put yourself out there and risk getting mocked, maligned or even get accused of working intentionally harm your community. But the worst thing you can do is let that stop you. Instead, you must ignore the the cynics and remember they are a small minority. Remind yourself that most people are open-minded, good and well-intentioned and do your best to surround yourself with these positive people, people like Harry Rock. The city council is currently in summer recess until late August. We will be holding a short meeting on Monday to take up urgent matters like the approval of the Columbia Greenway Trail money from the Community Preservation Account. Thanks to the Community Preservation Committee for approving the $250,000 needed by the city to keep the project moving forward. The $250,000 represents a huge chunk out of their budget and taking money from the CPA fund will leave less money for other worthy improvements to our city. Next year I will encourage the mayor to keep the rail trail item back into the engineering department’s budget. The rail trail will be an important economic engine for downtown revitalization which, over the long haul, will ultimately save residential taxpayers money by increasing tax revenues into the city. Therefore, I believe it should be a very high priority for our city. That’s all for now. Enjoy your summer and remember to stay positive!

Pence to visit Estonia, Georgia, Montenegro on New White House chief of NATO, Russia
President Donald Trump speaks with reporters after firing Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and naming Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly as his new Chief of Staff, Friday, July 28, 2017, in Andrews Air Force Base, Md. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci)
By LAURIE KELLMAN Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Mike Pence visits three countries in Russia's neighborhood beginning Monday to signal support for them and NATO while drawing a line against aggression. Pence's trip to Estonia, Georgia and Montenegro is viewed as a follow-up to President Donald Trump's visit to Europe earlier this month. Then, Trump used stops in Poland and Germany to try to pull off a tricky balancing act of improving ties with Moscow while also presenting the U.S. as a check against Russia's moves in the region. Pence's mission will be encouraging those countries to continue to ally with the West and resist Russia's attempts to splinter the NATO alliance. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson have previously been dispatched to try to allay the concerns of countries near Russia that the U.S. really will stand behind NATO and support the sovereignty of nonmember former Soviet republics. The concerns stem from Trump's suggestion during the campaign that the U.S. might not defend NATO allies and his apparent desire for closer relations with Russia. Trump received criticism on his first European trip for passing up the chance to affirm the NATO mutual defense commitment clause known as Article 5, which frames an attack on one as an attack on all. Trump did affirm U.S. support for Article 5 on his second trip to Europe. The vice president is expected to deliver a message of support for U.S. trade and investment with the countries while underscoring the U.S. commitment to the security of the three nations, according to senior administration officials who briefed reporters about the trip on the condition that they not be identified by name. Pence also will stress the values of freedom of speech, democracy and religious tolerance. In Estonia, Pence is expected to highlight bilateral ties with the U.S., particularly on trade, investment and cyber issues. Pence also is expected to thank Estonian officials for their approach to "burden-sharing," diplomatic speak for agreeing to spend a full share of 2 percent of their GDP on defense, the administration officials said. The vice president also is expected to underscore the U.S. commitment to NATO, which sees Russia as a security threat and offers protection to concerned member states near Russia's borders. In Georgia, Pence is expected to highlight U.S. support for its sovereignty and territorial integrity, the officials said. Georgia is the only country on the trip that is not a NATO member and, like Ukraine, has seen Russian encroachment on its territory. The administration officials said the U.S. is encouraging Georgia to continue to make reforms to its judiciary and expand anti-corruption efforts. In Montenegro, Pence will celebrate that nation as the newest NATO ally. On Wednesday, he'll attend the Adriatic Charter Summit in Podgorica, Montenegro, to highlight the U.S. commitment to the Western Balkans and underscore the importance of good governance, political reforms and rule of law. Also expected to attend are the leaders of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Serbia and Slovenia.

staff is battle-toughened leader By LAURIE KELLMAN Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Retired Marine Gen. John Kelly is a battle-hardened commander who would bring a background of military discipline and order to President Donald Trump's roiling White House as the new chief of staff. Kelly's experience as Homeland Security secretary and a veteran of three tours in Iraq — along with a sobering family tragedy — suggests he'll be a loyal manager for Trump when he starts the job Monday. "He has been a true star of my administration," the president tweeted Friday, announcing that his current secretary of homeland security was in, and White House chief of staff Reince Priebus was out. Trump called Kelly a "great leader" and "great American." He called Priebus, ousted after a tumultuous six months, a "good man." As Homeland Security secretary, Kelly has taken the lead on some of Trump's most controversial policies, including his executive orders suspending the admission of refugees and temporarily barring visitors from several Muslim-majority nations. Those orders have been stripped down by courts pending a Supreme Court review this fall. People who know Kelly told The Associated Press that he was not aware of the details of the initial orders until around the time that Trump signed it. Yet, just days after taking office, he had to lead the agency as it dealt with the chaos and confusion that ensued at airports in the U.S. and around the world. He defended the orders to reporters and lawmakers and insisted he indeed had been part of the decision-making process. Kelly has stood up to Congress, another facet of his history that Trump might find attractive. In April, Kelly bluntly challenged members of Congress critical of the Trump administration's aggressive approach to immigration enforcement to either change the laws or "shut up." But Kelly has won bipartisan respect from lawmakers as a result of his distinguished military career. He joined the Marine Corps in 1970, carving out a reputation as a highly respected but often outspoken commander who could roil debate and issue unpopular directives on issues ranging from women in combat to the treatment of detainees at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, detention center. Kelly was the fifth person to lead the Department of Homeland Security, which includes agencies that protect the president, respond to disasters, enforce immigration laws, protect America's coastlines and secure air travel. His selection as secretary bolstered concerns about an increase in military influence in a Trump White House.

Kelly also holds a somber distinction. He was the highestranking officer to lose a child in combat in Iraq or Afghanistan. Kelly's son, Marine 1st Lt. Robert Kelly, was killed in November 2010 in Afghanistan. He retired from the military last year, wrapping up a threeyear post as head of U.S. Southern Command, which spanned some of the more fractious debate over the Obama administration's ultimately failed attempt to close the detainee facility at Guantanamo. In his final Pentagon news conference, Kelly spoke about the loss of his son — a topic he didn't often discuss publicly. "To lose a child is — I can't imagine anything worse than that. I used to think, when I'd go to all of my trips up to Bethesda, Walter Reed, I'll go to the funerals with the secretaries of defense, that I could somehow imagine what it would be like," Kelly said. But, he added, "when you lose one in combat, there's a — in my opinion — there's a pride that goes with it, that he didn't have to be there doing what he was doing. He wanted to be there. He volunteered." Kelly said he gets "occasional letters from Gold Star families who are asking, 'Was it worth it?' And I always go back with this: It doesn't matter. That's not our question to ask as parents. That young person thought it was worth it, and that's the only opinion that counts."

Governor Baker signs an act to ensure safe access to marijuana
WESTFIELD
BOSTON – On Friday, Governor Charlie Baker signed bipartisan legislation to update state laws governing the cultivation, sale, and adult use of marijuana following a voterapproved ballot question in 2016. Governor Baker and Lt. Governor Polito were joined by several legislators at a signing ceremony at the State House to enact H. 3818, An Act to Ensure Safe Access to Marijuana. “We appreciate the careful consideration the legislature took to balance input from lawmakers, educators, public safety officials and public health professionals, while honoring the will of the voters regarding the adult use of marijuana,” said Governor Baker. “We look forward to appointing members of the Cannabis Control Commission and the Cannabis Advisory Board to join us in working with Treasurer Goldberg, Attorney General Healey, local officials, law enforcement and all other stakeholders involved to implement the enhanced law safely and responsibly throughout the Commonwealth.” Highlights from H. 3818: -This law outlines the ability of cities and towns to exercise local control to ban or limit the development of marijuana establishments to address municipal concerns. -Sets the special excise tax on adult use marijuana sales to 10.75% to support the costs of regulating the industry and to fund initiatives in public health, public safety, police training, restorative justice and workforce development. -There is a local option for cities and towns to add a 3% tax on top of the combined 17% between sales and the marijuana specific excise tax. -Medical marijuana will remain untaxed. -Establishes a 5 member Cannabis Control Commission to regulate both the adult use and medical marijuana industries consisting of one appointee each from the Governor, Treasurer and Attorney General. The remaining two members will be agreed upon by the majority of those 3 constitutional officers. -Establishes a 25 member Cannabis Advisory Board with 5 appointees each from the Governor, Treasurer and Attorney General. The remaining 10 appointees are ex officio appointees with expertise and knowledge relevant to the Board’s mission. -Establishes requirement that the Cannabis Control Commission set potency limits for edible marijuana products and that it adopt packaging requirements that conform to a detailed list of health and safety protections.

Ex-priest in Boston sex abuse scandal released from prison BOSTON (AP) — A defrocked priest at the center of Boston's Roman Catholic clergy sex abuse scandal was released from prison on Friday and settled into an apartment across the street from a children's dance studio. Paul Shanley, who had been convicted of raping a boy in the 1980s, moved to the town of Ware, about 65 miles (105 kilometers) west of Boston, after being released from the Old Colony Correctional Center in Bridgewater, where he completed a 12-year sentence. Shanley, 86, used a cane and was helped by a man as he arrived in Ware, followed by a group of reporters and photographers. His new home in a multiunit building is across from a recently opened dance studio that teaches children as young as 2. The studio's owner, Arielle Lask, said she plans to install "state-of-the-art" security systems and to make sure every child leaves the studio accompanied by an adult. "It's awful that he's even on the streets of Ware," Lask told The Boston Globe. "Whether it's across the street or down the road, there are children everywhere." As a condition of Shanley's 10-year probation, he has been ordered to have no contact with children under age 16. Ware police Chief Shawn Crevier said Shanley has registered as a sex offender and posters will be displayed around town notifying the public that Shanley is living in the area, which is typical procedure for the police department. "We're going to do what we need to do to make sure the citizens are protected and his rights are also protected," Crevier said. Shanley will be at least the third sex offender living on his street, he said. Prosecutors sought to hold Shanley beyond his criminal sentence under a law that allows civil commitment of people deemed sexually dangerous. But two psychologists hired by the state found he did not meet the legal crite-

ria to hold him. A lawyer who represented Shanley in his criminal appeal said he's confident Shanley will not harm anyone. But attorney Robert Shaw Jr. said he understands the reaction from those who opposed Shanley's release from prison. "I'm sure that law enforcement will ensure that the community feels safe, and I have every expectation that they are going to fulfill their obligation and be certain that Paul Shanley also remains safe," Shaw said. The state's sex offender registry designates Shanley as a Level 3 offender, considered the most likely to reoffend. But the two psychologists cited Shanley's advanced age and his health issues and concluded his likelihood to See Shanley, Page 8

Continued from Page 1 of Westfield. If approved, it will be incorporated into the renovation project for the Hampton Ponds playground. The project is being designed by R Levesque Associates and the project is estimated to cost about $408,000 to complete. The last item on the agenda was a late addition, in the form of a motion by Ward 3 Councilor Andrew K. Surprise to consider the adoption of a medical district zone in the City of Westfield. Surprise said the motion, which came at the request of the Law Department is being sponsored by himself and Ward 2 Councilor Ralph J. Figy to allow for discussion and to determine exactly what the zone change would entail. Surprise said he expects the matter will be referred to the Zoning, Planning and Development (ZPD) and Legislative & Ordinance (L&O) committees, on which he and Figy serve.

Shanley

reoffend is low. Attorney Mitchell Garabedian, who represented dozens of men who say they were abused by Shanley, said the evaluations were incomplete because the psychologists didn't interview Shanley. Instead, they reviewed police reports, prosecutors' files and Shanley's church personnel file containing numerous sexual abuse complaints against him. "Paul Shanley should be in a hospital being treated and not in the outside world where he can easily gain access to innocent children," Garabedian said. Both psychologists found Shanley meets the psychiatric criteria for pedophilic disorder. But they said research suggests recidivism rates for people of his age are extremely low. They also cited Shanley's health issues, which were blacked out from the reports, and the fact his last reported offense was in 1990. Shanley was a street priest who ministered to alienated youths in the 1960s and '70s. Dozens of men came forward decades later and said Shanley had molested or raped them. He was defrocked by the Vatican in 2004 and was convicted of raping a boy at a Newton parish in 2005. The archdiocese said this week it will not provide Shanley with financial support or benefits. Republican Gov. Charlie Baker said he will review the standards for civilly committing convicted sex offenders who have served their prison sentences. Reporting by the Globe's Spotlight team helped break open the priest sex abuse scandal in the Archdiocese of Boston in 2002. The reporting uncovered how dozens of priests in the archdiocese had molested and raped children for decades while church higher-ups covered it up and shuffled abusive priests from parish to parish. A movie about the Globe's reporting, called "Spotlight," won the 2016 Academy Award for best picture.

This is the first time 22News will host the popular pet adoption campaign.

and adopt a new pet. WWLP Vice President and General Manager Bill Pepin said, “We are very happy to participate in this year’s campaign together with Dakin Humane Society. 22News has always supported the work of animal shelters in our area. This is a wonderful opportunity to encourage local families to adopt a pet in need of a forever home.” 22News also announced the participation in a new social media campaign that compliments Clear the Shelters efforts: #LoveMyPet. To join the Clear the Shelters social media campaign, viewers can simply post a photo of their favorite pet, list their reasons for loving their pet, and upload their post and photo to their social media channels using the hashtags #ClearTheShelters and #LoveMyPet. Viewers can also visit WWLP.com to access a #ClearTheShelters filters that lets people easily share pet photos across social platforms. The social media campaign will conclude on August 19. From older dogs to kittens to rabbits to iguanas, Clear the Shelters has inspired local communities to take action and open their homes to pets in need. Last summer, “Rose” a husky with a neurological syndrome who traveled from Turkey to a shelter in Briarcliff Manor, New York found a new home while “Tootsie,” a senior Shih-Tzu with one eye was adopted by a family from Chicago, Illinois. Since 2015, Clear the Shelters has resulted in more than 70,000 pet adoptions nationwide. For more information about the pet adoption campaign, visit ClearTheShelters.com. You can also follow the effort on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram by using the hashtags: #ClearTheShelters and #LoveMyPet.

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.

“Having these movies provides free entertainment to families and gives awareness that Westfield has a children’s museum,” said Diana McLean, a museum board member. McLean added that the museum started a GoFundMe page in 2016 to seek donations to pay for the equipment and thanked the Westfield Rotary Club for seeing a need and “completely funding” the project. Lynn Boscher, Rotary president, said the club has an investment in the city and its young people and wanted to help. “Rotary members knew it was a good project and we wanted to do something special for the kids in the city,” said Boucher. “The museum coordinates all of the events,” added McLean. McLean also encourages children to build “box cars” to sit in while at the movies. “The idea is to have a fun element to coming to the movie and make it seem like an old fashioned drive-in theater,” said McLean. “Families can have fun at home working together to create their box car.” Patrons are also encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs and snacks to enjoy during the showings. “The museum sells popcorn and water to help fund the movie,” said McLean. All of the animated films are geared toward families and begin at 8 p.m. On July 29, DreamWorks Animation’s “Trolls” will be shown on the big screen. The film will transport the audience to a colorful, wondrous world populated by the Trolls, who find themselves in a pickle – and a mismatched duo embarks on a rescue mission that is complete with adventure and mishaps. The cast includes voiceovers from Justin Timberlake, Anna Kendrick, Russell Brand, Gwen Stefani and James Corden. On Aug. 12, audiences will be treated to “The Secret Life of Pets,” focusing on the quiet life of a terrier named Max who is upended when his owner takes in Duke, a stray whom Max instantly dislikes. The cast includes voiceovers by Louis C.K., Eric Stonestreet and Kevin Hart. The summer theater season wraps up on Aug. 19 with The Peanuts Movie. As the tale unfolds, Snoopy embarks on his greatest mission as he and his team take to the skies to pursue their arch-nemesis, while Charlie Brown starts his own epic quest to win the love of his life. Cast members include Noah Schnapp, Bill Melendez and Hadley Belle Miller. All screenings are free to the public and donations are appreciated to support the event, according to McLean. If a movie has to be cancelled due to inclement weather, the museum will try to reschedule pending availability of its volunteers. “There will be four movies each summer, perhaps more if there are donations and volunteers to support the showings,” said McLean. For more information on the drive-in theater events, call the museum at (413) 572-4014.

KJM Tournament

and professionals in the past, many of Kevin’s friends and hundreds of other hockey players from the area and all over, lace up their skates for a great week. “There’s nothing better, it’s the energy that’s in the rink, that’s around town,” said Susan Canning, who is one of the lead organizers of KEVS Foundation, and Kevin Major’s mother. “It’s grown into this enormous homecoming, feel good, good hockey weekend.” Rich Asselin, who was a close friend of Kevin’s, said that a ton of memories of their friend are discussed throughout the tournament. “The KJM (Kevin J. Major) tourney gives us a chance to reminisce about Kevin,” said Asselin. “Being able to share our stories with people and being able to hear stories from others.” Colin Arnold first remembers Kevin in the summer before going into his freshmen year of high school. As Arnold was just moving into Westfield, he didn’t know many kids, but Kevin was one of the first guys he played defense with on their hockey team and their friendship began to blossom. Every year this tournament arrives, it is a time for friends like Arnold to celebrate Kevin’s life. “It’s such an amazing event for such an awesome kid,” said Arnold. Hockey is played non-stop throughout the week and the KEVS Foundation is around the Amelia Park facility providing a number of opportunities for the public to gain more awareness about cardiac arrest. According to Canning, the foundation has been working with Rep. John Velis (D-Westfield) to file legislation that makes it required for youth sports programs and organizations in Massachusetts to make those who are involved, watch an 8-minute video about cardiac arrest. It is a pending piece of legislation that is sponsored by Rep. Velis. If the bill passes, the law would be in effect throughout the whole state. “Every player, parent, and coach must watch this video on the sudden symptoms of cardiac arrest,” said Canning. During the opening ceremonies on Saturday August 12, Canning said that seven AED’s (Automated External Defibrillators) will be handed out. The AED’s will be going to local non-profit sports organizations throughout the Pioneer Valley. Since the KEVS Foundation was created in 2012, 72 AED’s have been donated to schools and other non-profit organizations. Over 1,100 kids have had heart screenings to help prevent them from sudden cardiac arrest. Canning said that the next heart screening sponsored by KEVS Foundation will be at Agawam High School on October 13. Also, approximately 6,000 community members have been taught CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation). Another one of Kevin’s closest friends, Patrick Lusteg,

Susan Canning holds a pair of autographed Boston Bruins jerseys at the 4th Annual Kevin J. Major tournament signed by former Bruin Terry O’Reilly and current Bruin Adam McQuaid. (WNG File Photo) always enjoys seeing the impact that the AED awareness from the KEVS Foundation brings to the community at the tournament. “It’s pretty awesome to see,” said Lusteg. For Canning, it’s everything from the competitive hockey, to the stands being packed, to the money that is raised for KEVS Foundation; but it’s also about helping prevent an individual from being a victim of sudden cardiac arrest. “For me, it’s more than just hockey,” said Canning. “It’s his legacy continuing with his (Kevin’s) hockey that he absolutely loved, but it’s also raising awareness to save a life.” In order to find out more information about the 7th Annual Kevin J. Major Memorial Tournament, go to their Facebook page, and for more on KEVS Foundation visit their website.

effort to do so. I will continue working with the residents of our downtown neighborhoods, to get these efforts off the ground over the next year. We should all be thankful that Lt. Eric Hall and WPD’s Community Policing Unit have attended our Ward 3 Meetings, and are willing to work with us to get this project started. In addition to a Neighborhood Watch, the Community Policing unit is taking several steps to address reported break-ins, vandalism, and wild college parties. If you are interested in getting involved in the Neighborhood Watch, please reach out to me, and I will add you to the list. Going forward, Westfield needs to start spending your tax dollars more wisely, and get back to providing our residents with the Core Services they expect. We must invest in fixing our roads and sidewalks, and ensuring that our many century old sewer lines are replaced. We need to get water treatment equipment installed in Wells #7 and #8, and ensure that no further contamination takes place, this is a top priority. Westfield also needs to control our tax rate, by generating new revenue. The primary way we do that is to implement policies that are business friendly,to attract new taxpaying businesses. High tax rates drive away residents and businesses. It is not right for us to be taxing working families and seniors on fixed incomes out of their homes and out of our city! If I am fortunate enough to earn your vote for a second term as Ward 3 Councilor, I will continue with the work I have outlined above. It has been the honor of my life to be able to serve as your voice at city hall, and to work alongside the people of Ward 3 to make our neighborhoods and city a better place to live, work, play, and raise a family. I sincerely appreciate the support I have received, and I am asking for your continued support and for your vote this year. Remember election day is November 7th, and it’s only a few months away. As always, I host regular office hours at the Press Room on School St., on the Second Monday of each month from 2:30pm to 4:00pm, and the Fourth Monday of each month from 3:30pm to 5:00pm. You can always reach me by cellphone at (413) 570-0899, or by email at a.surprise@cityofwestfield.org. If you need assistance with any municipal matters, or have questions, please contact me. Again, Thank You for Your Support, Andrew K. Surprise Ward 3 City Councilor

2017 US CLUB SUPER GROUP U13 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS Western United Pioneers
Liquori lifts Pioneers, Cup By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Western United Pioneer boys’ soccer team won the 2017 US Club Super Group U13 National Cup Championship Monday in Westfield, Indiana, and got a little help along the way from a Westfield (Mass.) kid. Western United, based out of Ludlow (Mass.) and in existence since the 1980s defeated Sockers from Chicago, Ill., 2-1, in the finals. They earned a trip to the National Cup Championship by the winning the state Cup after going unbeaten at 10-0 in the National Premier League. Thaddeus Liquori, of Westfield paved the way for Western United in tournament play over the course of the week by scoring a team-leading (tied with another) five goals to go with three assists. “It took a lot of focus, team chemistry, some very talented individuals, and great depth,” Western United coach Jij Mercer said. It was the first time a team from Western Massachusetts advanced this far, and likely would not have happened if not for Western United’s narrow early round 1-0 win over top-ranked Real FC (N.J.). Western United is comprised of players from Agawam, Longmeadow, Monson, Brimfield, Southampton, Ludlow, West Springfield, and Dalton.

Retooled Patriots receiving corps brings early excitement By KYLE HIGHTOWER AP Sports Writer FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The Patriots have had more than their share of luck when it comes to getting the most out of their receivers during the Bill Belichick era. Last season that guy was Chris Hogan, a modestly used player during his first four NFL seasons in Buffalo. Unsure of their long-term plan for him, he went into free agency last offseason in search of a new home. He found it in New England, where his work ethic and big play ability were rewarded with 14 starts, a career-high 680 receiving yards and the first two playoff touchdowns of his career. This season, the Patriots are hoping Brandin Cooks can have similar success as he joins a loaded receiving corps that includes Hogan, Julian Edelman, Danny Amendola and second-year wideout Malcolm Mitchell. "There's competition everywhere," Edelman said. "Competition makes the best out of players. We've got a room with a lot of guys that can do a lot of things, so it's going to make us better." The addition of 23-year-old Cooks not only brings in a player that is coming off back-toback 1,100-yard receiving seasons, but injects more youth to a unit that was beginning to trend older. Edelman and Amendola have been two of quarterback Tom Brady's favorite and most dependable targets in recent years, but both entered training camp at 31 years old. Hogan is 28 and Mitchell just turned 24. While both Amendola and Edelman are expected to continue to play big roles in the offense, having a deep ball threat like Hogan and elusive players in the open field like Cooks and Mitchell give the offense more dimension. Backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo said
Cooks’ quickness has been a marvel even in the short time he’s been able to work with him. “He’s probably one of the fastest people I’ve ever seen in person,” Garoppolo said. “That’s nice having at your leisure as a quarterback. That type of speed, it’s rare. He uses it to his advantage to create space and it makes our job a lot easier.” The Patriots have their first full pads practice Saturday. Cooks has already drawn the appreciation of fans with several athletic plays during New England’s first two public workouts. In one instance he was able to score untouched on an end-around handoff. On another occasion he got behind the secondary and haul in a long score. Cooks says he’s not trying to do too much at this point, even if it’s tempting sometimes as the new guy. “I feel like that’s what I’m supposed to do,” Cooks said. “I’ve always been taught ‘act like you’ve been there.’” Health should also aid this group’s development during camp. Both Edelman and Amendola began camp last year on the physically unable to perform list following offseason surgeries. They were injury-free when practice began Thursday and will benefit from the additional reps. Mitchell began camp with his left knee wrapped, but said it was precautionary and shouldn’t limit him. He also said he should benefit from an extra year of familiarity with the playbook. Cooks said he remains “ecstatic” about his new team and can’t wait to see what happens with this unit as the preseason progresses. “I knew a lot about the guys before I got here,” Cooks said. “I respect each of their games. They’re all different and bring someNew England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (11) runs a drill with defensive back thing spectacular to the table — each and D.J. Killings (29) during NFL football training camp, Friday, July 28, 2017, in Foxborough, every one of them. That’s exciting joining a group like that.” Mass. (AP Photo/Michael Dwyer)

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

Moustakas’ 30th HR lifts Royals over Red Sox for 9th in row BOSTON (AP) — Salvador Perez and Mike Moustakas homered off emergency starter Rick Porcello, who took over when David Price went back on the disabled list because of inflammation in his left elbow, and the Kansas City Royals beat the Red Sox 4-2 Friday night for their season-high ninth straight win. Boston has lost five of six and nine of 14, dropping out of the AL East lead for the first time since June 29 and falling a half-game behind the New York Yankees. Price started the season on the DL and didn’t make his first start until May 29. The 31-year-old left-hander, winner of the 2012 AL Cy Young Award, is 5-3 with a 3.82 ERA. Porcello (4-14), who had been scheduled to pitch Saturday, leads the major leagues in losses. He allowed four runs and six hits in seven innings. Jason Vargas (13-4) gave up one run and five hits in six innings. Vargas, who had been winless in three starts since June 30, is one shy of his career high for wins, set in 2012 with Seattle. Kelvin Herrera pitched a one-hit ninth for his 22nd save in 25 chances, getting rookie Rafael Devers to hit into a game-ending forceout after Andrew Benintendi’s two-out single. Kansas City, which has rebounded from a 7-16 start, is 15-8 in July and on its longest winning streak since nine consecutive victories from last Aug. 14-23. The Royals have outscored opponents 67-27 during the streak. Perez homered over the Green Monster in the second and Moustakas made it 4-0 in the fourth. He hit his 30th homer in his 92nd game, the fastest to reach the mark in team history, and he is six homers shy of the Kansas City season record set by Steve Balboni in 1985. Jorge Bonifacio had singled leading off, and Eric Hosmer beat the shift with a single to left that put runners at the corners. Three days after his big league debut, Devers went 1 for 2 in his first home game for the Red Sox. He doubled down the rightfield line in the fifth and scored on Mookie Betts’ single, and at 20 years, 277 days became the youngest Boston player with a hit
at Fenway Park since Mike Garman in 1969. Chris Young tripled off Mike Minor leading off the seventh and scored on Sandy Leon’s groundout. CLUTCH Ten of Perez’s 21 homers have put the Royals ahead. TRAINER’S ROOM Royals: Perez returned to the lineup after leaving Tuesday’s game and sitting out Wednesday with soreness on his right side. ... The Royals recalled OF Terrance Gore from Triple-A Omaha. Gore has split time between Double- and Triple-A this season, hitting .231 with 17 steals. ... OFs Paulo Orlando and Cheslor Cuthbert will remain on rehab assignment after both suffering setbacks. Red Sox: LHP Robby Scott was recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket to take Price’s roster spot. UP NEXT Royals: RHP Trevor Cahill (4-3, 3.69 for San Diego) is to make his first start for the Royal on Saturday following his acquisition from the Padres. Cahill is 0-2 with a 7.79 ERA at Fenway Park. Red Sox: LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (4-3, 3.89) is 1-0 with a 2.38 ERA in four home starts this season but is 0-2 in three starts since beating Seattle on May 26.

Red Sox’s Price going back on DL with elbow inflammation BOSTON (AP) — Red Sox pitcher David Price is going back on the 10-day disabled list with inflammation in his left elbow. Boston announced the move ahead Price’s scheduled start Friday night against Kansas City. Rick Porcello will start in Price’s place. Eduardo Rodriguez will start Saturday and Drew Pomeranz on Sunday in the series finale. The inflammation is in the same elbow that Price strained during spring training and caused him to begin the regular-season on the disabled list. The Red Sox recalled Robby Scott from Triple-A Pawtucket to fill his spot on the 25-man roster. Price, who is in the second season of a $217 million, seven-year contract, had made 11 starts since returning from his initial DL stint on May 29. He is 5-3 with a 3.82 ERA.

Dear Annie By ANNIE LANE
Needing Help to Fight a Lender Dear Annie: My wife and I are in our mid-70s, are retired and have been living in our lovely home for 10 years. In 2011, because of the loss of our incomes, we took out a reverse mortgage. The lender has lost its Better Business Bureau accreditation and employs unscrupulous thieves who have stolen homes from countless other unsuspecting seniors. There are numerous complaints against the lender. It paid our property taxes for two years before we had a chance to pay them, so we owe $5,000 for that. It promised to roll the $5,000 into the principal amount of the reverse mortgage. The lender took us to court in 2016 to foreclose on our home. Our attorney was very knowledgeable about our type of case, and the judge vacated the foreclosure. But the lender is at it again, and this time we cannot afford to defend ourselves. Last year, we filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and succeeded. The bankruptcy was granted six months ago. We have only enough funds to go from month to month for necessities and have been rebuilding our credit slowly. I am working part time to help with some of our necessary expenses, such as medical copays. Is there any way we could find a pro bono attorney in the state of Florida to fight these crooks? Could you help us with this dilemma? -- JLRL In Florida Dear JLRL: For Florida residents who are 60 or older and dealing with civil legal problems, the Senior Legal Helpline (888-8957873) provides free advice by telephone appointment. The people there should be able to tell you what pro bono options might be available to you. Dear Annie: About the recent note from “I Am No. 1 Again,” which concerned the ninth step of Alcoholics Anonymous (making amends): In 1987, my brother joined AA and religiously went to meetings (he still does) and followed the 12-step program. When he got to the ninth step, he personally apologized to me for having had a many-months-long affair with my wife. He then told me how much better he felt after having apologized to me for this, even though I had no idea whatsoever of this affair and felt devastated and eventually got divorced the following year. I would have felt a lot better not ever knowing about this, but he fulfilled his mission and is satisfied. Maybe AA should stipulate that nobody apologize for something that the person he wronged has no knowledge of. -- No Name, Please Dear No Name: The ninth step does include the sort of stipulation you’re talking about. It reads: “(Make) direct amends to such people, wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.” Your brother missed the point if he thought it was all about selfishly unloading his guilt. If you’ve never tried Al-Anon, consider attending a meeting. It might help unpack some of the baggage that you’re most likely still carrying from having a loved one with alcoholism.

HINTS FROM HELOISE ROAD TRIP FOR ROVER! Dear Heloise: A ROAD TRIP WITH THE DOG can be a challenge -- I try to be prepared! Here are some hints I’ve used when traveling: * A tote of supplies is necessary: bottled water, food, bowls, treats, a leash, any medications, documentation of rabies vaccine, newspaper sleeves for potty breaks, etc. * Let your veterinarian know before you go, especially if the dog has special needs. * Get the dog acclimated to being in the car by first taking short rides around your neighborhood. * Take lots of breaks along the way, and make sure your destination is pet-friendly. * NEVER leave the dog in the car alone -- it quickly can get entirely too hot in there. I enjoy traveling with my dog because we travel safely! -Mark S. in Maryland PET PAL Dear Readers: Meet Moe! Moe is a border collie and a DAD -- a Diabetic Alert Dog. He assists his human, a kiddo named Stratton, who has Type 1 diabetes. When Stratton’s blood sugar drops, Moe can tell by the scent of Stratton’s saliva, and he will let Stratton’s grandma, Lori T., in Weatherford, Texas, know. Aren’t dogs amazing?

Email a picture and the story to: Heloise@ Heloise.com. -- Heloise A FRIEND IN NEED Dear Heloise: I like to go to the city animal shelter on a free day and spend some time with the cats and dogs. I noticed a list of what the shelter needs: newspaper, blankets, towels, food and bleach. What the shelter didn’t need: clothing and pillows. Call your shelter to see if you can help! -- F.L. in Pennsylvania

On The Tube Sarah Silverman’s show asks divided US to give love a chance BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Sarah Silverman is out to show that Americans can bridge even their deepest differences and enjoy a laugh as well. Speaking to a TV critics’ meeting Thursday, Silverman said that’s the goal for her fall Hulu series, “I Love You, America.” Silverman said the show is intended to be the opposite of an echo chamber, instead allowing Silverman to connect with “unlike-minded people” across America. That’s regular people, not politicians, and no mockery will be involved, she said. The show is intended to be intelligent and moving but also silly, Silverman said. “Anything smart that’s in there will be served in a big, fat, bready sandwich of super, super dumb, because that’s how I like my comedy, and I don’t like to be told what to think,” she said. The edgy comic acknowledged she knows what it’s like to be a target, sharing a few of the crude and insulting tweets she’s received. She’s reached out to some of her detractors and found common ground, Silverman said, including with a country singer in Nashville. She said the singer, whom she didn’t identify, stays in touch and sends her his new cuts. “I Love You, America,” which Silverman is producing with, among others, Oscar-winning screenwriter Adam McKay (“The Big Short”), is scheduled to debut Oct. 12. It will include studio and field pieces, a monologue and a regularly appearing focus group made up of people “from all walks of life,” Silverman said.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, July 29, 2017: This year often provides more excitement than you might be ready for. You frequently will detach in order to see the big picture. The unexpected plays a significant role in the next 12 months. If you are single, you might attract someone more serious or older than you. Before you get too involved, make sure you really want this type of bond. If you are attached, your sweetie might be withdrawn or a bit too quiet. Know that this phase will end quickly. Plan frequent escapes or a mini vacation with just your significant other. LIBRA adds an element of cheer to your day.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Defer to a loved one when making plans, and you’ll enjoy yourself more. Good vibes seem to flow. Don’t be surprised if the unexpected shakes up your universe later in the day. Make an adjustment if necessary. You will gain insight from your own responses. Tonight: With a friend. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You might want to complete a project or go off and run some errands. A partner seems to fuss over some interpersonal matters. Go along with his or her request if you want to enjoy your day. You could be surprised by someone you consider a friend. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You might not appreciate how a loved one suddenly withdraws. You have had this experience with this person before and were hoping it would not repeat. You know how to bring this person out of his or her shell. Once you do, you both will be happier. Tonight: Dinner out. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You could be in the mood to stay home. You will find that you like having some time to yourself. You might think that you are going to have a quiet day, but to your surprise, someone you care about easily could alter your plans. Tonight: Have a good time wherever you are. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might want to consider various possibilities. Have a discussion with a partner. This person will want to share his or her thoughts, too. If this matter is a hot topic between you, consider having this talk while participating in a relaxing activity. Tonight: Close to home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Just because you want to make a purchase right now does not mean that you should. You easily could go overboard, or perhaps you won’t be able to find the right item. Make it OK to hold off for now. Take your time, and you’ll be happier in the long run. Tonight: All smiles. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Others have a lot to share, and they want to share with you. You might need to screen calls if you want to do certain activities alone. You can always catch up with friends later. Someone critical to your life could spontaneously reverse course. Be ready. Tonight: Make it your treat. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You are on the verge of a lot of excitement. Use the daylight hours to complete a project or run errands. You could be surprised by a sudden insight. This perception could be off, as you might not be seeing the whole picture. Tonight: Wherever you are, you are on center stage. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Try to focus on what is positive, and avoid getting into an emotional rut. Respond to a call from a dear friend or loved one at a distance. Get together with friends, and do your best to not be alone. A child is likely to surprise you by what he or she says. Tonight: Make it early. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH== Take a stand, if you must. At the same time, consider the additional responsibilities you accept if you do. You will be in the middle of a controversy, which could be uncomfortable. Plan on taking a break later in the afternoon. Tonight: Get into the moment with a loved one. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You might feel as if you need to detach and be a better listener. Nevertheless, you have a lot going on in your mind that you will want to consider. Return a long-distance call or acknowledge a response to an inquiry. You need a break. Tonight: Out till the wee hours. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You could be in a situation where you would like to break out and do something different. Those around you seem to be more conservative right now and not up for any risk-taking. You are likely to be surprised by what you hear later. Tonight: Walk through a new door.

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
INDIANAPOLIS
SPEED FREAKS A few questions we had to ask ourselves Does Kahne’s win get him a ride for 2018? GODSPEAK: It gets him into the playoffs, and a championship would close his “Silly Season” door. KEN’S CALL: No factor. It was a very circumstantial victory.
Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers
Who’s in trouble? At least one additional driver, for sure, with Kasey Kahne’s surprising win at Indianapolis. Four winless drivers remain in the top 16 and in line for a playoff berth, based on their points, but if another previous non-winner wins one of the next six races, those four shrink to three. And Joey Logano, whose early-season win introduced the word “encumbered” to the racing lexicon, should be the best candidate to officially enter the club of winners and clinch his playoff berth.
Time to put in lights at Indy? GODSPEAK: Nah, don’t give them any ideas, please. KEN’S CALL: I’m kinda shocked they haven’t already done that. William Byron wins again in Xfinity; has he clinched a Cup ride for 2018? GODSPEAK: Young Billy is certainly fast-tracking the system. He needs another year in Xfinity. KEN’S CALL: He seems destined for the No. 5 car, assuming business considerations work out.
How weird is that?

QUESTIONS & AT T I T U D E
The No. 78 Toyota driven by Martin Truex Jr. burns after a crash with Kyle Busch during the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis. [AP/GREG HUEY]
THREE THINGS WE LEARNED 1. THE wreck
2. Bad taste
3. Race time
Just 48 laps from the scheduled finish, the two fastest cars, driven by Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr., wrecked each other out on a restart. Busch has not won in his past 36 starts. “That’s the way it goes, just chalk it up to another one that we figure out how to lose these things by,” Busch said.
Brad Keselowski started the penultimate lap as the race leader, but finished second to Kasey Kahne at Indy. “Anytime that you’re that close (to winning) you can taste it,” Keselowski said. “I had a taste of it in my mouth, I didn’t get to eat it.” It’ll all go down with a light beer.
The official time of the Brickyard 400 was 3 hours, 39 minutes. In reality, the NASCAR major lasted more than six hours when you factor in three red flags (race stoppage). The sun had dropped below the horizon before Kahne took the checkered flag. No lights at Indy.
It’s rather weird that Chase Elliott and Matt Kenseth are teetering at the bubble and in danger if a couple more newbies win races, but yes, extremely weird that Logano is anywhere near a bubble — thanks to his “encumbrance” at Richmond, but also thanks to his unlikely pile of rotten finishes. He’s had an eighth and a third in the past three weeks, but he needs a first, and fast. Strange stuff for a team that’s been a championship threat for the past three years.
FEUD OF THE WEEK
— Godwin Kelly, godwin.kelly@news-jrnl.com Jones
W H AT ’ S O N TA P CUP SERIES: Overton’s 400 SITE: Pocono Raceway (2.5-mile triangle) TV SCHEDULE: Saturday, practice (CNBC, 9 a.m.), practice (NBC Sports Network, 11:30 a.m.). Sunday, qualifying (NBCSN, 11:30 a.m.), race (pre-race coverage begins on NBCSN, 2:30 p.m.; green flag, NBCSN, 3:15 p.m.) XFINITY: U.S. Cellular 250 SITE: Iowa Speedway (.875-mile oval) TV SCHEDULE: Friday, practice (NBC Sports Network, 5 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.).

THREE THINGS TO WATCH 1. Pocono, Part 2 If it seems like the NASCAR Cup Series just raced at Pocono Raceway, you are correct. The Cup tour raced there on June 11 and returns to the “tricky triangle” on Sunday. Yes, that is only an eight-week gap, and yes, Pocono is fully aware of the schedule since it has always agreed to NASCAR’s need to have one northern race track host Cup races close on the calendar. Don’t look for Pocono to give up a date.
2. Squeeze play

3. Hendrick haven
It seems like yesterday Ryan Blaney scored his first career NASCAR Cup win at Pocono. Well, it was just eight weeks ago. [NASCAR GETTY IMAGES/ JERRY MARKLAND]
Who would have figured Kasey Kahne would be the driver who would turn into the NASCAR playoff disrupter? Kahne’s stock was sinking fast after
2017 SCHEDULE AND WINNERS
“It pretty much sucks,” said Bowyer, who finished 30th and is now 33 points from the final playoff spot. “No, it definitely wasn’t needed for sure.”
a 102-race losing streak and then BAM! He is in the playoffs, perhaps slamming the postseason door on the faces of Clint Bowyer and Joey Logano.
Rick Hendrick now boasts 10 Brickyard 400 wins since the race was added to the Cup calendar in 1994. Out of the 24 races staged, Hendrick has 10 wins from three drivers. Jeff Gordon has five wins, followed by Jimmie Johnson’s four-win effort and topped off with Kasey Kahne’s first 400 trophy on Sunday. Hendrick Motorsports has a .417 batting average at Indy, better than Ty Cobb’s .366 over 24 seasons.

Bowyer
ERIK JONES VS. CLINT BOWYER: Jones is in the mix for the second straight week, this time after complaining about Bowyer not letting him complete a pass in Turn 4 at Indy. GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: First off, Jones looks younger every time we see him after a race. As for Bowyer, Jones said, “(He) just turned left. I was at his door almost and wrecked me and him.”
