North Elm – Notre Dame construction update

Lynn Bannon of Westfield asks a question on pest identification to Judith Harvester of Westfield, a master gardener and member of the Western Massachusetts Master Gardener Association. Harvester is spending Thursdays in June at the Westfield Farmers’ Market to answer questions area residents may have about soil and plants.

WESTFIELD – The City of Westfield Engineering Department would like to inform residents of the continuation of night work along North Elm Street and Notre Dame on Sunday June 26, 2016. The contractor will be working from 7pm to 5am, Sunday night through Thursday morning. At times the road will be excavated down to gravel. Road closings should be expected. North and South bound traffic on N. Elm St will be maintained, but restricted with brief disruptions. The contractor expects to be paving on Wednesday June 29, 2016. We encourage travelers to seek alternate routes. Any questions regarding this effort can be addressed to City Engineer Mark Cressotti P.E., at phone #413-572-6219, or email m.cressotti@cityofwestfield.org .

Master gardener shares Knowledge With the Public

By LORI SZEPELAK Correspondent WESTFIELD-Judith Harvester has always enjoyed being outdoors and working the land so becoming a master gardener was inevitable.

“I grew up on a farm and have loved being outdoors my entire life,” said Harvester during a break between inquiries at the Western Massachusetts Master Gardener Association table at the Westfield Farmers’ Market on Thursday.

In a matter of 20 minutes, Harvester fielded questions by Lynn Bannon on pest identification and measured the acidic levels of soil samples hand delivered by Isaac Stayton. Harvester also enjoyed quizzing patrons passing by including Julie Desharnais and Kelsey Rebmann on garden-related questions.

Harvester graduated last year from the association’s training program and encourages others to consider joining the nonprofit organization of volunteers who are dedicated to promoting sustainable, best gardening practices and educating the public about them.

The next master gardener training program is slated on Tuesdays from January to April 2017 at Holyoke Community College. After completing the program, certified master gardeners fulfill annual service hours working with the public to foster its mission.

Kelsey Rebmann and Julie Desharnais, both first timers to the Westfield Farmers’ Market, answer questions on a quiz board created by the Western Massachusetts Master Gardener Association.

Master Gardener Judith Harvester, seated, makes a point about one of the answers.

“The training we received was excellent and grounded in botany and sustainable gardening,” said Harvester, adding that other topics included vegetable gardening, the composition of soil, plant diseases, and plant management.

For Harvester, her annual service hours include See Gardener, Page 5

Man killed, woman seriously hurt in ATV crash on trail SOUTH HADLEY (AP) — A 26-year-old South Hadley man was killed and a Chicopee woman was seriously hurt in an all-terrain vehicle crash on a wooded trail near Skinner State Park.

The victim of the Wednesday night crash was identified by the Northwestern district attorney’s office on Friday as Todd Bristol. The woman’s name has not been disclosed.

Spokeswoman Mary Carey says they were riding an ATV along the trail when it went off the path and hit several trees.

Bristol was pronounced dead at Holyoke Hospital. The 30-year-old woman was taken to Baystate Medical Center in Springfield with serious injuries.

Carey says a preliminary investigation shows that the operator lost control. The investigation is continuing.

Market Manager ‘Excited’ About Community Support

By LORI SZEPELAK Correspondent WESTFIELD — Westfield Farmers’ Market manager Debbie Randzio is “excited” about the positive support she has seen from the community in supporting the varied vendors on Thursday afternoons at the Episcopal Church of the Atonement.

Randzio noted on Thursday that two new businesses will be joining the vendors next week – Baystate Fish Shares and Susan’s Dog Services.

“Ed Struzziero brings fresh fish directly from the coast to the market,” said Randzio. “He sometimes is unable to get here for the opening because he has to drive to pick up the fish.”

Randzio added that Struzziero hopes that area residents will place orders for his fish at least a week in advance so he knows

what to purchase from the fish market and knows he will be able to sell what he brings.

“It is sometimes difficult for him to judge what will sell,” said Randzio.

Randzio added that Dan Osella of Skyline Trading Company also has the same process with his bread orders at the market.

“By ordering in advance, people can be sure that the products they want are available, even if they arrive late,” said Randzio.

Susan’s Dog Services will be a guest vendor next week, selling dog shampoos, flea repellent, and dog collar accessories.

“She will be here only a limited number of times this season,” said Randzio.

Another new market feature, in addition to the loyalty cards, is market gift certificates.

“People can purchase a gift certificate at the market tent for

someone who may need food assistance, or as a gift for a friend to encourage them to come to the market,” said Randzio.

On July 7, three more businesses will be joining the vendors including Junghyun Park with her “Sweet JJ’s” home-baked goods.

“She makes custom cakes, cookies and pastries, and will be selling chocolate chip raspberry cookies and turtle brownies,” said Randzio. “She will be at the market selling items in July.”

Also on July 7, My Main Squeeze of East Longmeadow will be selling fruit smoothies, and Lauren Kressler of Easthampton will have a table with Kokoro Japanese soul food.

Other highlights of the afternoon festivities each Thursday Every Thursday at the Westfield Farmers’ Market, a different chef prepares a include music sponsored by the specialty from ingredients found at the tables of the market’s participants. On Westfield Cultural Council and Thursday, chef Dan Osella of the Skyline Trading Company in Westfield cooking demonstrations by local explained to hungry patrons how to make grilled pizza. chefs.

Court bites back, exonerates Michigan TV vet who saved dog

Where is The Westfield News?

Dana and Nancy Kiendzior of Westfield landed by helicopter on the Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau, Alaska on June 16th and brought the Westfield News with them. Remember, when you’re traveling take a copy of The Westfield News with you and get a picture of yourself with it and send it to pressreleases@thewestfieldnews.com with a brief description of who’s in the picture and where you are. Keep reading The Westfield News to find out where the news will show up next!

By ED WHITE Associated Press DETROIT (AP) — A Boston terrier named Mr. Pigglesworth is as frisky as ever — and the Michigan veterinarian who saved the dog’s life on a reality TV show has been cleared of misconduct.

The Michigan appeals court on Friday overturned a $500 fine and probation for Jan Pol, who has a popular show on Nat Geo Wild called “The Incredible Dr. Pol.” In a 3-0 decision, the court seemed incredulous that Pol was in hot water for saving a dog that was struck by a car. The Mount Pleasant-area vet in 2011 removed Mr. Pigglesworth’s badly damaged eye, stitched lacerations in his mouth and determined that the pelvis would heal without much treatment.

“The dog lived. What did I do wrong?”

Pol, 73, told The Associated Press.

But a Kentucky veterinarian who saw the TV show about two years later in 2013 filed a complaint with the state of Michigan.

Regulators investigated and said Pol didn’t wear a mask or provide IV therapy and other comforts while treating Mr. Pigglesworth.

In response, Pol said he had sanitized his hands. He said the dog, 2 years old at the time, was properly sedated during surgery and recovered in a warm kennel.

Nonetheless, a disciplinary panel at the Michigan Board of Veterinary Medicine last year accepted the findings of hearing officer Shawn Downey and ordered penalties. That result was swept away by the appeals court, which said the decision was “arbitrary and capricious.”

“Mr. Pigglesworth came through with flying colors and went home the next day,” the court said. “So far as we are aware, he continues to bring great joy to his owners and terror to the local squirrels. ... This case is curious. A dog’s life is saved, yet the veterinarian faces sanctions.”

Pol said he feels “elated” after the ruling.

He said he took Mr. Pigglesworth to the disciplinary hearing in 2015.

“We showed that he’s a happy and healthy dog. That made no difference,” he said.

The owners, Mable and Loyd Frisbie, said Pol charged only $250 to save the dog.

“He’s doing great,” Mable Frisbie said of Mr. Pigglesworth. “We never had any complaints.”

There are some that say “Dave, you’re full of hooey. We’ve The follow-up question I get about taxes is “how come my taxes been fine for 300 years, and it’ll all work in the long term”. To that went up by more than 2.5% when my house is worth less than I say, “No, you haven’t been fine for all those years. The city is before”?

The your kids or grandkids to pay in the future.

One things that’s confusing for some – even some councilors tax rate changes based on the LEVY, the total valuations, and the – is the Prop 2 ½ limits. Many people wonder how the taxes can shift. For example, using last year’s valuation of $3.073 billion, go up by 3.5% when supposedly the law says it can only go up and a LEVY of $68.319 million, the flat tax rate was $22.23 per 2.5%. I’ll try to explain. There are three key terms you need to thousand. The “shifting” process moves more of the tax burden to know: LEVY – this is the actual amount charged for Property businesses and gives residential taxpayers a break (it also compliTaxes in a fiscal year; LEVY LIMIT – this is the maximum cates the math and the explanation of all this). Last year, the City amount the city can charge for Property Taxes in a fiscal year Council voted a shift factor of 1.65 (businesses paid 65% more, based upon the prior year’s LEVY LIMIT and new growth; and and those dollars were used to reduce the residential burden).

influential factor since your percent of value compared to the whole city is rather small. A $10-20,000 swing in your value compared to $3 billion total value in the city really won’t change your taxes too much. Same with the shift. A move from a shift of 1.65 to 1.66 would only save the average homeowner about $11.

The LEVY, and your tax bill, is driven by the budget. That’s why it’s so important to get involved in the budget process.

This year, if the property values stay flat, and the shift stays about the same, the average residential tax bill will go up $28.7 dollars per hundred thousand dollars of home value per million dollars of tax increase. So, for a $2.3 million property tax increase, a $250,000 home would see an increase of about $165.

A $350,000 home would see an increase of about $231.

Besides cutting the budget, what can we do? The Finance Committee has several ideas to improve efficiencies and generate new non-tax revenues. Many of these ideas have come from previous City Councils, Mayors, and department heads. Several have been lingering for years. We need to start taking action. Right now, it looks like there’s maybe $1.0-$1.5 million per year in potential. That’s really good, and it needs to be pursued, but it’s not a silver bullet that’s going to solve all the problems.

Please speak up and get involved.

Please don’t fall for lines like: “you’re balancing the budget on the backs of kindergarteners” or “teachers” or “firefighters” or “police”. We’re all in this together. We need to fix our roads and infrastructure. We can’t keep passing the buck to the next generation. We can’t keep asking moderate income families to pay higher and higher percentages of their income in property tax (40% of Westfield students qualify for free or reduced lunch – that should give you an idea of the financial challenges facing a huge portion of our residents). And, we shouldn’t be taxing limited income seniors out of their lifelong homes (there are about 8,000 seniors in town – roughly 20% of the population). The reality is that this budget isn’t balanced when you consider the obligations, and if anything it’s the taxpayers who are taking the burdens, and the taxpayers who are on the hook for the massive snowballing obligations. We have to learn to live within our means. It’s definitely hard, and there are definitely tough choices that need to be made, and I don’t like being the one who takes these positions publicly any more than any of you would. But, there is no choice. It’s the right thing to do for the long-term best interest of the City and everyone who lives, works, and enjoys Westfield.

COMMENT POLITICO DELEGATE SURVEY

Dump Trump lacks the votes

Call 572-3999 to leave your comment.

Why Obama couldn’t stop the Brexit Despite his popularity in Britain, his overtures seemed to fall on deaf ears.

By EDWARD-ISAAC DOVERE Politico.com Turns out Barack Obama wasn’t quite Britain’s cup of tea.

Despite an approval rating in the 80s in Britain when the president landed in London in April, the polling bump that the Remain campaign was counting on from Obama's endorsement didn’t materialize.

The arguments he made didn’t seem to break through in a real and lasting way, at least when weighted against the massive anti-immigrant sentiment, frustration with the European Union’s bureaucracy and regulations and Cameron’s tendency to inspire the kind of political feelings that come from eating a dry, room temperature scone.

“I don’t think we ever thought this was going to be the golden chalice,” said one of the people involved in planning Obama’s trip, but “we were anticipating it would help highlight how important the stakes were.”

White House aides pushed back Friday on the idea that the Brexit was in any way a referendum on Obama. Yes, he put himself out there, they say, but he would have been remiss if he hadn’t spoken up for America’s interests against having Britain leave the EU — and there’s a good argument to be made that the outcome would have been even more lopsided if he hadn’t gotten involved.

In the end, Obama seems to have been a ripple against the nationalist wave that’s now threatening to pull apart the European Union and the United Kingdom, and upend the arc toward progressive pragmatism that Obama wants to help define his geopolitical legacy.

Instead, the result is a talking point for Republicans —“I actually think his recommendation perhaps caused it to fail,” mused presumptive nominee Donald Trump on his golf course ribbon-cutting trip to Scotland on Friday — and a death shiver for many Democrats who suddenly see Hillary Clinton’s collapse in the face of Trump’s nationalism as a very real possibility.

That’s all happening as the White House is once again thrown off from trying to sew up outstanding issues before the end of Obama’s term, now having to deal with reconfiguring the relationships with Britain and Europe, and with Cameron’s resignation, meaning a new prime minister will be coming in just as Obama is preparing to leave office.

Even the sidelining of Boris Johnson, the former London mayor and Leave leader who incited an uproar by greeting the president with an op-ed rehashing the old rumor about kicking a Winston Churchill bust out of the White House that he blamed on the “part-Kenyan president’s ancestral dislike of the British empire,” lasted only a few days. And when the initial outrage had passed, Johnson seemed strengthened, a head-to-head with the president of the United States only feeding the sense among voters that the would-be prime minister could stand up for Britain.

"There was no bounce for them — quite the opposite," said one person involved with Vote Leave. "Afterwards our poll ratings went up."

Obama’s highest numbers were among the young voters Remain knew was with them but feared wouldn’t vote — a YouGov poll taken during the vote showed 75 percent of voters 18-24 were with Remain, as opposed to 39 percent among voters 65 and older.

Remain operatives milked that every way they could, adding a youth town hall to Obama’s schedule and a meeting with Labour opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn, who’d proven a consistent pain from the start.

“What it did was say to young people who love him the most, ‘Start to pay attention,’ ” the Remain operative said.

“Cameron couldn’t speak to the young people, Corbyn wouldn’t—Obama could.”

Remain operatives attribute the uptick in youth voter registration to Obama’s visit. Without that, they say (and the White House agrees), the vote would probably have been worse for the White House.

This wasn’t how aides on both sides of the Atlantic envisioned what would happen when Cameron called Obama last fall to personally ask him to come join the campaign. Obama immediately agreed — the European Union fits his political and economic worldview and the British prime minister has been an important partner. They’ve even developed a personal rapport.

It didn’t hurt that the Remain campaign, from the timing of the referendum to the voter outreach model, was all being orchestrated by Jim Messina — the president’s 2012 campaign manager and still informal political adviser, who’d first met Cameron as part of the president’s entourage in his 2009 trip to London and was then fresh off leading Cameron to a larger than expected Parliament reelection last year.

For the referendum election, The Messina Group wasn’t running the polling. They outsourced it to a company run by a former Cameron aide. But they were keeping close track of the numbers, and Messina’s connections to both leaders helped craft the argument Obama made, both in an op-ed and then at a press conference at 10 Downing Street: advice from a friend that leaving would be a really, really bad idea, with some real talk about the consequences for trade and the economy.

White House aides downplay the decision to get involved.

By KYLE CHENEY Politico.com Republicans looking to dump Donald Trump at next month’s convention have passion, energy and a fierce sense that their party will suffer unless Trump is unseated. What they appear to lack, however, are the votes to make it happen.

Politico reached out to all 112 members of the committee that will write the rules of the national GOP convention. This is the panel that anti-Trump activists hope to jam a proposal through to free convention delegates to spurn Trump and select another candidate instead.

What emerged from the survey, though, is a portrait of a committee with little interest in the dump Trump crowd. In fact, most members may be eager to stop them.

“I support DJT 100%,” said Alabama rules committee member Laura Payne in an email. “I ran to support … Trump & to represent the voters of Alabama. It may or may not be an attempt, but the voters will prevail.”

"Trying to change the rules in mid-game because you don't like the outcome is tantamount to saying you are going to take your ball and go home because you are losing," said Christine Serrano-Glassner, a Rules Committee delegate from New Jersey. "I will be supporting our Nominee, Donald J. Trump."

It was a common sentiment. Among the 32 committee members who responded, 25 said they would fight efforts to stop Trump’s nomination. . Another 33 members of the panel have been previously on record as endorsing Trump or rejecting efforts to rip the nomination away from him at the convention.

That means at least half of the Rules Committee is publicly committed to helping Trump win the party’s nod at the convention, enough to defeat any insurgent proposal. In addition, of the 47 who haven’t publicly endorsed Trump and didn’t respond to a Politico inquiry, 33 hail from states and territories where Trump won the popular vote or local conventions.

Four indicated they were still deciding what they’d do about the proposals.

“I am not discussing my views in the press right now. Instead I am talking to other delegates listening to everyone’s arguments,” said Texas committee member Steve Munisteri. His view was echoed by Hawaii committee member Miriam Hellreich, as well as Missouri’s Harvey Tettlebaum and Pat Thomas.

In contrast, just two members of the rules committee have publicly said they would support stopping Trump’s nomination by changing party rules: Colorado’s Kendal Unruh and Guy Short.

Their allies are hopeful that their backers on the rules committee are simply remaining quiet, for now, amid intense pressure to back Trump’s nomination. More, they argue, will emerge as the convention nears, especially if Trump’s campaign continues to falter. They may be hesitant to reveal themselves in the meantime.

“They’re frightened to bring their names forward. They’re being threatened by their state party chairs,” said Eric Minor, a Washington State delegate who has become a point-person in the effort to block Trump’s nomination but is not on the convention rules committee.

Minor also noted that although supporters of unbinding delegates are pursuing a majority on the rules committee, there’s another more achievable path. Advocates for unbinding need just 28 rules committee members — a quarter of the panel — to send a “minority report” to the convention floor. It’s unclear whether backers of unbinding delegates can reach even that smaller threshold. But if they do, it would force the entire convention body — 2,472 delegates — to grapple with it. Insurgent delegates looking to stop Trump claim there are hundreds of like-minded allies who will be in the seats in Cleveland, even if they’re not on the rules committee. Minor added that in the run-up to the convention, as more anti-Trump delegates go public, others may be emboldened to follow suit.

For now, anti-Trump delegates are continuing to press for changes inside the Rules Committee. Unruh is leading the public effort to wrest the nomination from Trump by adding a “conscience clause” to party rules. That clause would permit any delegate to ignore the results of primaries and caucuses by citing a moral or personal objection to Trump.

Unruh, acknowledging the steep hill to prevail in the rules committee, said she still expects to be competitive in the broader fight.

“Even if it doesn’t make it through rules, so be it,” she said.

“Then it’s a floor fight.”

On Friday morning, Unruh sent a letter to all members of the rules committee advocating for her proposal. On Sunday, she and her supporters will convene their third major conference call to discuss progress. The call is expected to include remarks from former New Hampshire Sen. Gordon Humphrey, an ally of Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who joined the cause earlier this week.

Unruh added that at least three other rules committee members had signaled support for her proposal but wished to remain private for now. In the meantime, her allies on Friday launched a cable TV ad campaign to pressure other delegates to join the

cause. Delegates in Virginia and Arizona have also filed suit to overturn state laws that require delegates to be bound to the results of their primaries and caucuses.

If a rules committee push fails, anti-Trump delegates say they don’t intend to quit, but it leaves them with the prospect of having to rally 1,237 delegates to back their efforts, a difficult order with just over three weeks until the convention and the Republican establishment working against them.

“I have not sensed any movement in favor of unbinding the delegates from actual rules committee members,” said Matt Hall, a committee member from Michigan. “I certainly intend to vote to keep the current rule binding delegates in place.

Based on conversations I have had with members of our Michigan delegation, I am confident that a strong majority of them feel the same way about this issue.”

The rules committee, which includes two members from each U.S. state and territory, has long been viewed as the likeliest venue for a revolt among anti-Trump delegates. Though Trump won most Republican primaries and caucuses throughout the spring, his rival Ted Cruz severely bested Trump in the more activist-driven process of electing delegates to the national convention. That led to speculation that Trump could beat Cruz in the primaries only to see Cruz’s delegates snatch the nomination away from him at the convention.

But when Cruz dropped out of the race on May 4, most of his delegate-maneuvering ceased as well. That handed Trump a free pass to stuff the seats in Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena with supportive delegates. Though Cruz delegates — typically more conventionally conservative, tea party activists — will still be a force at the convention, they’re unlikely to control any major decisions.

“I think the effort is a lot of lightning but no rain,” New Hampshire Rules Committee member Steve Duprey said of the anti-Trump push.

Even some stalwart Cruz supporters on the rules committee aren’t eager to rewrite party rules to harm Trump. “Changing the nomination rules now for the Cleveland convention would be wrong and politically disastrous for our Republican Party,” said Morton Blackwell, a Virginia committee member.

Though there’s still an enormous amount of fervor behind the anti-Trump movement within the Republican Party, signs emerged in recent weeks to suggest Trump’s detractors would struggle to mount a concerted resistance at the convention. A constellation of stop-Trump groups formed — Unruh’s Free the Delegates, Delegate Revolt, Courageous Conservatives PAC, Delegates Unbound. But they have struggled to unite under a single umbrella. (Unruh held a conference call Friday with leaders of the other groups and emerged as the de facto head of the effort). And no prominent elected officials or donors have stepped in to professionalize the effort.

Until Thursday, when a complete list of Convention Rules Committee members was released by the Republican National Committee, none of the groups had been able to identify all 112 members. As a result, more than 20 of the rules committee members who responded told POLITICO they had never been contacted by Unruh or any other anti-Trump groups.

“I have not been contacted by anyone to undermine the rules as set or for any plans to unbind delegates,” said Eileen Grossman, a rules committee member from Rhode Island. “I happen to be a Trump Delegate but if I were not I still would have no part in taking the nomination from a man who has received more Republican primary votes in history. We are standing by the will of the people and their vote and their vote clearly was for Donald J. Trump and not a career politician.”

Meanwhile, the Trump campaign has enjoyed the full backing of the RNC since Cruz left the race. It’s had access for weeks to lists of convention delegates and has begun building a team of more than 150 staff members and volunteers intended to work the convention floor, as well as the rules committee.

That will be an advantage for Trump if his detractors attempt a last-ditch end-run around the rules committee.

North Dakota’s Curly Haugland, who is on the convention rules committee, has long argued that no rules change is necessary for delegates to vote their conscience. He contends that party rules require delegates to vote freely and that they can ignore any state laws and rules that purport to bind delegates to the results of primaries and caucuses. Haugland insists his effort is not meant to oppose Trump – he’s pushed it for years – but rather is about empowering the party’s elected delegates to choose the GOP nominee.

Haugland has found support, though, among the anti-Trump crowd. If they fail to adopt a rules committee change to explicitly free delegates, some have indicated they’ll turn to Haugland’s method and either abstain from the presidential vote or choose a candidate other than Trump.

It’s unclear how much support there is for this method among rank-and-file delegates – and how party leaders will react – however it’s likely to become clear quickly after the vote begins. States are called alphabetically, and Arizona and Colorado both feature vocal anti-Trump contingents.

Obituaries http://thewestfieldnews.com/category/obituaries Donald S. Dorrington CUMMINGTON, Mass. — Donald Sidney Dorrington, age 90, died peacefully in his home in Cummington, MA on Wednesday, June 22, 2016.

Don will be long remembered as the Grand Marshall in Memorial Day parades, the thoughtful veteran at school presentations, and proud member and Past Commandant of the Marine Corps League Westfield River Detachment 141.

Enlisting at age 17, Don served with the 5th Marine Division in the Pacific Theater during World War II. He has been honored as a survivor of the 1945 Battle of Iwo Jima. Don’s story is part of the Veterans History Project, American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.

Born in 1926 to Sidney T. and Evelyn F. Dorrington, Don grew up in Westfield, MA and graduated in the Westfield High School Class of 1943. He had two younger sisters, Jean Moore Teodore and Carol Delnickas Armitage. His parents, sisters, and second wife Constance Lydiard Bargeron predeceased him.

During his years in Westfield, Don worked for Gladwin and Lane Fuel Company and H.B. Smith. He was a fire warden for a season in 1947 in far northern Maine on Seeboomook Lake. He had a lifetime love of wilderness and recently exchanged his canoe for a kayak.

Don was known for his music. He played guitar at square dances. Don, Eddie Bezo and Paul Baker formed a band, “The Midnighters”, who performed during the 1950’s and 60’s. He gave guitar lessons and enjoyed playing well into his eighties.

He lived in Blandford and later, Worthington where he was a Constable. As a member of the Huntington Federal Masonic Lodge for 43 years, he was the Past Master twice and treasurer for 15 years. When he retired in 1986, he formed R and D Logging and started a long career in logging managed woodlots, hayfields, and maple syrup operations. He was still mowing fields into his late eighties, although he found it better to leave the cordwood to his partner.

In 2003, Don moved to Cummington, MA with his current wife Anne Lorda. He enjoyed traveling in Spain and around the US. He went south to Hudson, FL during the winters.

Don is survived by his wife Anne Lorda and her adult children; by his first wife, Shirley J. Alger Glaze of Westfield; a daughter Gretchen and her husband Barry Draper of New Hampshire; a son Jonathan Dorrington and wife of New York state; Ronnie and Robin Sampson and family of Worthington, MA; four granddaughters; great-grandchildren; nieces and nephews; stepchildren; close relatives and dear friends.

Services are scheduled for 11 a.m. on Saturday, July 9, at the Worthington (MA) Congregational Church. Burial will follow at Central Cemetery, Sam Hill Rd., Worthington.

The Ahearn Funeral Home of Northampton, MA is handling arrangements.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to The Young Marines at Marine Corps League, Westfield River Valley Det. 141, 71 N. Elm Street, Westfield, MA. 01085-1619, or to Hospice of Western and Central Massachusetts, 150 North Street, Suite 22, Pittsfield, MA 01201.

Don left a legacy of inspiration, courage and good cheer to all those whose lives he touched.

heads, and concerned parties will tell you that he’s been great to work with and that he’s truly trying to do the right things, juggle things around, and keep all of the competing interests happy. The finances are a major obstacle, and I understand that. No matter who is sitting in that Mayor’s seat, the financial challenges and constraints would still be the same. It’s not easy.

PPS. If you happen to want to do some math: what happens next year? This FY17 budget has 1% salary increases in it, and the Mayor is asking us to tax to the max, create new taxes, and using a bunch of our limited Free Cash. What happens next year when there are 2+% raises, another 5% in insurance costs, another 5% in Pension obligations, higher energy costs, and higher wages (due to steps, longevity, and education benefits)? We can’t get new revenue from hotel and meal taxes if we do it this year. We can’t increase property taxes as much because we’re already going to be at the LIMIT. Won’t have as much Free Cash available. And, we’ll still have massive snowballing unfunded obligations. How do we get that math to work?

Slammin’ good time

By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Westfield Little League Baseball slammed the competition in the opening round of District 2 tournament play Friday night, literally and figuratively.

Westfield American 10-11-Year-Old All-Stars 13, Agawam 2 (4 inn.)

Jacob Wagner launched home runs in each of his first two at-bats – the first two of his young career – to fuel Westfield American’s mercy-shortened victory.

Westfield American’s Patrick Flaherty reached base four times and scored three runs, Liam Poole reached base three times and scored one run, Sean Roselli reached base three times, Jay Scherpa scored three runs, and Colby LaPoint came off the bench to hit an RBI double.

Scherpa (4 Ks) and Scott Hepburn (3 Ks) combined for the victory on the mound for Westfield American. Each pitcher allowed one run – both unearned.

“Our plan going into it was to win, keep each pitcher to 35 pitches, and to throw four pitchers to keep them available for the next game,” Westfield American coach Tom Flaherty said.

Westfield National 10-11-Year-Old All-Stars 12, Easthampton 2 (4 inn.)

Starting pitcher Josh Mayo struck out six batters in a mercy-shortened effort, and Anthony Schabowski belted a second-inning grand slam to power Westfield National on the road.

Ryder Pieczarka and Ethan Porter each went 2-for2 for Westfield National, which belted out 10 hits.

“It was a really good way to start,” Westfield National coach Shane Collins said.

Westfield American 9-10-Year-Old All-Stars 13, Southampton 1 (5 inn.)

Nate Pudlo went 4-for-4 with a three-run homer and two doubles, drove in four runs total, and scored

Westfield American starting pitcher Ted Dunn pitched three shutout innings, striking out five batters, and helped himself by knocking in three runs.

Andre Phaneuf came on to pitch two innings of relief. Phaneuf also had a nice outing at the plate. He went 3-for-4 with three runs scored.

Leadoff batter Zach Olsen had two walks and two runs scored.

Eli Perez had a double, a walk, and scored twice.

SENIOR DIVISION Westfield 6, Agawam 5 Westfield outlasted Agawam in a nail-biter.

put out at home plate on a passed ball; and, Bailey O’Shea had a stand-up double for Westfield.

JUNIOR DIVISION Agawam 19, Westfield 6 Riley Caughlin had a solid effort on the mound for Westfield.

Caughlin battled through three sweltering innings on the mound.

He scattered just five hits and struck out six batters. Aaorn Muldrew struck out two batters in relief.

Westfield’s Michael Durkee crushed an RBI double, and Ethan Baush, Caughlin, Jaret Gillespie, and Brett Bonenfant contributed in the hits column.

In the top of the third, Gillespie started a defensive rally with a diving catch at short all the way into foul territory behind third for the first out of the inning.

Bonenfant caught the ensuing fly out at first base and Caughlin fielded a ground ball and tossed to Bonenfant for the inning’s third out.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, June 25, 2016: This year you follow your intuition. You see the results, and, for the most part, you like them. You find this approach to be more authentic and much easier than over-intellectualizing, though you will opt to do that, too. If you are single, you suddenly might notice that a friend has worked his or her way into your heart. You could be fearful of losing this friendship if the relationship doesn’t work out, but isn’t it worth the risk?

If you are attached, you often take off on special trips together, which contributes to your bonding. You act as if you are newlyweds. PISCES is a lot like you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Much goes on behind the scenes.

You might wonder what it would be best to do in order to keep a conversation from feeling less than great. Your personality will help you get past a problem. Right now, look at what is happening behind the scenes.

Tonight: Keep it hush-hush.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Zero in on your priorities.

Others will follow your lead. Know that your creativity comes out when you are focused. You could become a real peacemaker, despite someone close to you being an obstacle. Tonight: The action is where you and your friends are.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You could feel pressured by someone who seems determined to promote a key cause. You will want to resist joining this person, but you might be in the wrong place at the wrong time. You’ll feel very uncomfortable being around this person today. Tonight: Out till the wee hours.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Try to take in a bigger perspective of what might be going on. You might have to rearrange your normal Saturday plans in order to please yourself and others. A conversation inspires you to take off. Tonight: See a situation through new eyes.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Respond to a partner’s overtures, even if you are somewhat aggravated by him or her. You rarely carry grudges; don’t change this pattern now. Nevertheless, your desire to be playful and fun-loving is likely to decline considerably. Tonight: Allow someone else to make the decisions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You could feel as if someone has taken the wind out of your sails by taking over and running the show, with little concern for you and your priorities. Pressure builds around a domestic situation. You could be shocked by what happens. Tonight: Don’t share secrets.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might feel put down by someone. Getting to a point where you are relaxed and not bothered by a stupid statement might take a while. Ignore the issue and the person for now. Root out the issue later, without getting this person involved.

Tonight: Let the good times begin!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Your creative personality emerges when dealing with a loved one. Be imaginative about how to approach this person, and he or she will respond in kind.

Allow greater give-and-take between you and others. Touch base with a child you care a lot about. Tonight: Could be steamy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Pressure builds to an uncomfortable level. Don’t worry -- this bubble will pop quickly, and you will be able to deal with it, even if you don’t want to. You could feel tired and somewhat exhausted.

Emotions flourish once you release some tension. Tonight: Entertain at home.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH A talk provides you with important information that you don’t need to mention. However, it will help you deal with someone without letting him or her know what you have heard. Inner fatigue could cause you to change plans. Tonight: Hang out at a favorite spot.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Your sense of humor will help lift a friend’s spirits who could be out of sorts. Give this person the space to work out a problem. Know that he or she will approach this issue and transform it more quickly as a result of your caring. Tonight: Keep your eye on a dream.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Reach out for more feedback from a respected friend. You have a way of inspiring others, but you can’t seem to inspire yourself. Be appreciative that the favor is being returned. Pursue a long-term desire. If you don’t go for it, how will it happen? Tonight: You call the shots.

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

Kelly and Jeff?

SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves How long does the Kyle Busch slump last?

GODSPEAK: It’s about to be replaced with a Kyle Busch winning streak.

KEN’S CALL: Four straight finishes of 30th or worse?

It either ends soon or he’ll remember how to explode on those around him.

Tony Stewart was 7th at Michigan. Good sign?

GODSPEAK: “Smoke” is the only driver I see stopping Kyle Busch at Sonoma.

KEN’S CALL: Of course it was a good sign, but he needs more, and soon.

Any chance of a surprise winner at Sonoma?

GODSPEAK: Tony Stewart is my top pick for a surprise.

Keep an eye on Michael McDowell.

KEN’S CALL: I’m sticking with my Chase Elliott pick.

Remember, his dad’s first win was at a road course.

ONLINE EXTRAS news-journalonline. com/nascar facebook.com/ nascardaytona

3 THINGS WE LEARNED IN THE OFF WEEK 1. Less is more NASCAR is mulling less downforce for its 2017 Cup Series aero package. It tested a less-downforce setup at Michigan, with mixed results.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. said, “I think we talk about packages too much.” Of course, he had just been in an aero-related crash.

Questions? Contact Godwin Kelly at godwin.kelly@newsjrnl.com or Ken Willis at ken. willis@news-jrnl.com

What’s Kez thinking?

One never knows. Most likely, Brad Keselowski was just trying to scratch a mild itch last week when he turned some laps in an IndyCar at Road America in Wisconsin. He has access to such a test session due to his Roger Penske employment. He seemed to enjoy it, but he might not like it as much on an oval at 220 mph when surrounded by competitors but very little sheet metal.

2. Jeff's name floated There is a report floating around that Jeff Gordon is being considered as Kelly Ripa’s partner on the popular morning show “Live.”

According to TVLine.com, Gordon is on the “short list” of candidates. He has been a guest co-host nine times and appeared on “Saturday Night Live” once.

Will it be eight straight?

If my Chase Elliott pick comes through, yes. The past seven Cup races have seen seven different winners. It might be good to spread the champagne around, but without someone acting dominant, it makes it tough to plant a guy up front in our weekly top-10 rankings.

3. Real standings NASCAR This Week runs the top-30 points standings every week, but the real standings (based on wins) has Kyle Busch at the top followed by Brad Keselowski, Carl Edwards and Jimmie Johnson. Rookie Ryan Blaney is on the Chase cutline line, 16th in championship points.

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

@nascardaytona

There’s a little buzz going around that Jeff Gordon could be among the candidates to replace Michael Strahan as Kelly Ripa’s permanent co-host on the syndicated “Live With Kelly and (whomever)” show. You know, the seat made famous by Regis Philbin. It would be a great gig in one way — Jeff could practically walk to work from his Manhattan apartment. But five mornings a week?

Year-round? Compared with just fourplus months of weekend duties with Fox, that sounds too much like work.

Ken Willis has been covering NASCAR for The Daytona Beach News-Journal for 27 years. Reach him at ken. willis@news-jrnl.com

FEUD OF THE WEEK

Stenhouse

Blaney

Nobody expects Brad Keselowski to abandon his ride in the No. 2 Team Penske Ford in the NASCAR Cup Series, but the 32-year-old driver took a test drive in an IndyCar Series car at Road America, located in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. It was an offer “Kez” could not refuse. The 2012 Cup Series champion called it a chance to “dip his toes” in the water. “It was a heck of an opportunity,” he said.

2. Fox hole Sunday’s Toyota Save Mart 350 will be the last NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race broadcast by Fox Sports this year.

Fox will pass the broadcasting baton to NBC Sports beginning with the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway

Brad Keselowski doesn’t plan to leave his boys at the No. 2 Team Penske Ford team to make the jump into IndyCar Series racing any time soon.

GETTY IMAGES/CHRIS TROTMAN

on July 2. Sunday’s race is on Fox Sports 1 and will mark the last time in 2016 you will hear Darrell Waltrip shout, “Boogity, boogity, boogity! Let’s go racing!”

3. Multiple winners Sonoma Raceway has produced a bevy of different race winners in the past decade. Since 2005, only Kyle

Busch has won the race twice.

He scored a win there in 2008 and returns as the defending race champion. Other drivers to win at Sonoma include Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon, Juan Pablo Montoya, Kasey Kahne, Jimmie Johnson, Kurt Busch, Clint Bowyer, Martin Truex Jr. and Carl Edwards.

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

RYAN BLANEY VS. RICKY STENHOUSE JR.: Stenhouse cut in front of Blaney at Michigan, and the aerodynamic effect caused Blaney’s No. 21 Ford to crash heavily into the outside wall.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: Blame the new aero package. Blaney did at Michigan. “(Stenhouse) came across my nose super-fast; it completely took all the traction off my car; I slid all the way to the fence,” he said.

WHAT’S ON TAP? SPRINT CUP: Toyota Save Mart 350 SITE: Sonoma Raceway (10-turn, 1.99mile road course) TV SCHEDULE: Friday, practice (Fox Sports 1, 3 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.). Saturday, qualifying (Fox Sports 1, 2:15 p.m.).

DID YOU KNOW? A glance at this year’s schedule, compared with last year’s and, eventually, next year’s schedules, will show the high turnover rate in corporate sponsorship for auto races. So it was worth the trumpeting this week when the PR folks at Sonoma spread the word that Save Mart Supermarkets will celebrate 25 years as sponsor of the annual road-course race in California’s wine country. Ernie Irvan won the first Save Mart-sponsored race in 1992.
