Beware of rattlesnakes ... they are endangered

By CHRISTINE CHARNOSKY Correspondent WESTFIELD – When most people see a snake, the inclination is to run. That is a good instinct considering that most Massachusetts residents are unaware that rattlesnakes are considered endangered in the Commonwealth.

Tom French, assistant director of the Division of Fisheries & Wildlife for the Natural Heritage Endangered Species Program in Westborough, said, deliberately disturbing, harming or killing a timber rattlesnake, or any endangered species, is a criminal offense and penalties can include fines of up to $6,000 and jail time.

Westfield resident Matthew Detka, 29, learned this the hard way after he ran over a timber rattlesnake on August 12, 2014 while driving a dump truck for work on West Road, according to court records.

Stan Detka, Matthew’s father, said someone saw Matthew run over the snake, saw the company name on his son’s truck and called to report the incident. Stan Detka said no one he has spoken to knew rattlesnakes were endangered.

Court records state, “Rattlesnakes are listed as Endangered on the Massachusetts Endangered Species Act (MESA).”

MESA was enacted in December 1990 and mostly recently revised in October 2010, according to information supplied by Energy and Environmental Affairs on mass.gov. The timber rattlesnake has been on the list for more than 20 years, said French.

The act protects hundreds of plants and species that are considered endangered, threatened or of special concern including 15 reptiles, four of which are snakes–the eastern ratsnake, the copperhead, the eastern wormsnake and the timber rattlesnake, according to the Energy and Environmental Affairs website.

“The main dangers in

this life are the people who want to change everything — or nothing.”

The sky is the limit for Westfield’s Watson

By LORI SZEPELAK Correspondent WESTFIELD – Since her early teens, Andrea Watson knew her love of flying would take her to great heights one day.

Now at 19, a recent unique opportunity titled Operation Air Force at Edwards Air Force Base in southern California cemented the aspirations of this University of Massachusetts Amherst mechanical engineering student. Operation Air Force offers Air Force ROTC and Air Force Academy cadets an opportunity to experience the future roles and responsibilities that lie ahead.

The Department of Aerospace Studies at UMass, also known on campus as Air Force ROTC, is unique in that it is the only agent through which a student can, upon graduation, receive a commission as an officer in the United States Air Force. To earn this commission, a cadet must meet the Reserve Officer Training Corps eligibility requirements, enroll in Aerospace Studies courses, attend a leadership lab, pass an Air Force officer qualifying test, be physically qualified, attend an officer field training program, and receive a bachelor or postgraduate degree.

Watson was at Edwards from June 4-17 and visited the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School, the Air Force Research Laboratory Detachment 7, the 412th Force Support Squadron, and the 412th Maintenance Group. She was among 14 academy cadets and five ROTC cadets. Of the 20 cadets, she was one of four women on the trip.

During base tours, officers shared their commitment to their chosen profession and words of wisdom with cadets.

“The officers explained how they lead people,” said Watson. “Their best advice was to take care of your people andpay attention to their needs.”

Watson also acknowledged that the officers and crew she met during her stay had a consistent message.

“The people at Edwards were enthusiastic about what they do and for their love of country,” she said.

Watson enthusiastically talked about her experience in the injection seat of a T-38.

“We did Mach 1 as well as twists and turns in the mountains,” she said.

Her first experience with flight was at the age of 13 as part of a program at the South Middle School.

“I was excited about the Wright Flight experience but not dead set yet about a career,” she said, adding that she had a front row seat on a Piper Warrior and Cessna 172.

That early discovery with flying, as well as encouragement from her father, soon set the stage for this ambitious young woman’s goal – to be a pilot. She is the daughter of Patty and Ed Watson of Chestnut Street who met while serving in the Civil Air Patrol. Ed Watson is the CEO of Mobius Works, LLC in the city, and Patty Watson is a nurse practitioner. Watson also has two sisters, ages 16 and 21.

By HOPE E. TREMBLAY Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Residents of Hampden Village are joing forces to help raise funds for neighbors whose mobile homes were destroyed during the June 23 storm.

Hampden Village residents Ron Contois and Bill Tatro organized a fundraising lunch set for June 30 at 1 p.m. in the Hampden Village Community Center.

For a $5 donation, lunch includes a hot dog, chips and soda. A raffle will take place for an additional cost.

Contois and Tatro said they just wanted to help their friends.

“I am friendly with both homeowners and I hope that if this happened to me people would do the same,” Tatro said The two mobile homes were condemned by Building Superintendent Jon Flagg, who said he had no option other than to condemn two structures and to declare two others as dangerous because of the extent of damage to them.

Tatro said one homeowner did not plan to return to Hampden Village and the other would remain there once she was able to get a new home.

The funds raised should help the two women with living expenses.

“They need clothes and food – this will help them with what they need right now,” Tatro said.

Tatro said people have been very generous and made donations of money, raffle items and good for the lunch.

“I put this on Facebook Wednesday and I’m amazed at the response,” he said. “Everyone is very generous.”

Contois said while they are asking for a $5 donation for the lunch, “every donation will be greatly appreciated.”

Kids become storytellers at Gateway Middle School HUNTINGTON – Fifth graders at Gateway Regional Middle School took part in a two-week unit on storytelling, led by Artist in Residence Rona Leventhal. On Monday, June 22 sixteen students shared their stories to an audience of parents, teachers and classmates as the residency’s ‘culminating event’.

In welcoming parents, district librarian Bill Brown thanked the Massachusetts Cultural Council for funding the project, thanked Rona for her hard work, and thanked parents for coming and supporting their kids and the school.

Leventhal then explained the process of creating and telling personal stories. Characteristics of personal stories include shared experiences and stories as part of a family history that is passed on from generation to generation. “If we know each other’s stories, it’s harder to feel hatred towards one another because your stories are my stories,” Leventhal said.

She also explained how students worked to develop their stories: looking at which details to keep,

(Photo submitted) which to discard, building tension, observing details, and reaching an “aha!” moment. She shared a “seeds of stories” activity with the audience, where they received a card with a ‘story starter’ to have them pair up and tell short stories to each other.

TOLLAND

“Using storytelling to teach personal narrative is a much more direct and collaborative way of learning the elements of story (both written and spoken),” Brown said.

“Through storytelling, students inhabit their stories and see them from the inside out. There’s no

better way to learn.”

Students and classes divided into two groups with 8 storytellers telling their stories to each audience.

The project was made possible with a $5,000 STARS Residency grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.

Fat, nude body painting in NYC celebrates body positivity

By LEJLA SARCEVIC Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — Body positivity was on full display Friday on the steps of the New York Public Library as three women had their naked bodies painted in front of lunch-time crowds.

The event was organized by Kimberly Massengill — who goes by the name of Substantia Jones — to mark the eighth anniversary of the Adipositivity Project, which celebrates fat bodies and works to combat sizeism.

She photographs naked, fat people, mostly women, and posts the pictures on her blog to empower and teach people about different sizes.

Massengill collaborated with local artist, Andy Golub, and three models of varying sizes and shapes.

“We’re here promoting body love,” she said. “I want people to love their bodies and let other people love their bodies.”

She said in a news release that the word “fat” should be used whenever possible, as “overweight” imposes judgment and an expectation that there is an acceptable weight limit.

Passers-by were impressed by the women’s bravery.

“I think it’s amazing; people shouldn’t be ashamed of their bodies,” said Michal Bezalel, a tourist from Israel.

Golub — who has been painting naked bodies for several years — said society expects people who are fat to be ashamed of it, but when faced with people who are happy to show off their naked bodies to the public, they find themselves in uncharted territory.

“I think there’s something very, very powerful about the fact that we’re doing this with no sense of shame or embarrassment,” he said. “We’re just painting pictures, that’s it.”

Massengill said that aside from one or two people, everyone walking by has had a positive reaction.

Mollena Williams, one of the models, said she was really nervous about being naked publicly, but the positive responses to the Adipositivity Project prompted her to volunteer for the event.

“My favorite part today has been the fact that when people have approached with children, they’ve allowed them to enjoy it,” Williams said. “That kid probably is going to have that much less issue with people’s bodies.”

As the women waved to the crowd, a busload of tourists driving by cheered them on.

TODAY IN HISTORY

Today is Saturday, June 27, the 178th day of 2015. There are 187 days left in the year.

O

n June 27, 1955, Illinois enacted the nation’s first automobile seat belt law. (The law did not require cars to have seat belts, but that they be made seat belt-ready.)

ON THIS DATE: In 1787, English historian Edward Gibbon completed work on his six-volume work, “The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.”

In 1974, President Richard Nixon opened an official visit to the Soviet Union.

In 1985, the legendary Route 66, which originally stretched from Chicago to Santa Monica, California, passed into history as officials decertified the road.

In 1844, Mormon leader Joseph Smith and his brother, Hyrum, were killed by a mob in Carthage, Illinois.

In 1990, NASA announced that a flaw in the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope was preventing the instrument from achieving optimum focus. (The problem was traced to a mirror that had not been ground to exact specifications; corrective optics were later installed to fix the problem.)

In 1864, Confederate forces repelled a frontal assault by Union troops in the Civil War Battle of Kennesaw Mountain in Georgia.

In 1995, Jodi Huisentruit, 27, an anchorwoman for KIMT-TV in Mason City, Iowa, mysteriously disappeared; her fate has never been determined.

In 1905, the Industrial Workers of the World was founded in Chicago.

In 1922, the first Newberry Medal, recognizing excellence in children’s literature, was awarded to “The Story of Mankind” by Hendrik Willem van Loon.

In 1944, during World War II, American forces liberated the French port of Cherbourg from the Germans.

In 1957, more than 500 people were killed when Hurricane Audrey slammed through coastal Louisiana and Texas.

In 1963, President John F. Kennedy spent the first full day of a visit to Ireland, the land of his ancestors, stopping by the County Wexford home of his great-grandfather, Patrick Kennedy, who’d emigrated to America in 1848.

TEN YEARS AGO: The Supreme Court ruled, in a pair of 5-4 decisions, that displaying the Ten Commandments on government property was constitutionally permissible in some cases but not in others. BTK serial killer Dennis Rader pleaded guilty to ten murders that had spread fear across Wichita, Kansas, beginning in the 1970s. (Rader later received multiple life sentences.)

Wal-Mart heir John Walton died in a plane crash near the Jackson Hole Airport in Wyoming; he was 58. Civil War historian Shelby Foote died in Memphis, Tennessee, at age 88.

FIVE YEARS AGO: Wary of slamming on the stimulus brakes too quickly but shaken by the European debt crisis, world leaders meeting in Canada pledged to reduce government deficits in richer countries in half by 2013, with wiggle room to meet the goal. Pope

Benedict XVI lashed out at what he called “deplorable” raids carried out by Belgian police as part of an investigation into priest sex abuse. Cristie Kerr cruised to a 12-stroke victory in the LPGA Championship, closing with a 6-under 66 for a 19-under 269 total.

ONE YEAR AGO: Over Russian objections, Ukraine’s new president, Petro Poroshenko, signed a free-trade agreement binding his country more closely to Western Europe. Leslie Manigat, 83, a prominent figure in the Haitian political establishment whose rule as president was cut short by a military coup in 1988, died in Port-au-Prince. Bobby Womack, 70, a colorful and highly influential R&B singer-songwriter who had influenced artists from the Rolling Stones to Damon Albarn, died in Los Angeles.

Snakes

Continued from Page 1 Detka was charged in Westfield District Court with possessing/selling/buying an endangered species, but the charge was dismissed upon paying a $1,000 fine. Charges of hunting/fishing in closed season, brought by the Massachusetts Environmental Police, were also dismissed.

The “victim” in Detka’s case file is listed as the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program. A $1,000 check for restitution was mailed from Detka to NHESP via Westfield District Court on Thursday.

Detka’s court file contains information from Massachusetts law 131A, Section 1, regarding endangered species, as follows: “’Take,’ in reference to animals, to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, hound, kill, trap, capture, collect, process, disrupt the nesting, breeding, feeding or migratory activity or attempt to engage in any such conduct, or to assist such conduct, and in reference to plants, to collect, pick, kill, transplant, cut or process or attempt to engage or to assist in any such conduct.”

French said that since Detka was charged with possession, this suggests he took the snake after hitting it, which implies intent.

According to court records, “The defendant did have knowledge it was a rattlesnake when the act was committed.”

This ordeal has been very upsetting for the Detka family since Matthew Detka did not intentionally kill the snake, according to Stan Detka.

Matthew Detka did not want to discuss the situation other than to say, “It happened. It’s over and done with. That’s it.”

Motorists who harm or kill endangered species purely by accident will not be charged, French said.

“If it’s deliberate, it is a criminal offense,” said French. “If it’s truly an accident, a person won’t get in trouble.”

Watson

Continued from Page 1

In addition to the Wright Flight program, Watson logged close to 15 hours with private flight instructor George Merriam during her years while at St. Mary’s High School.

Watson recently completed her first year as an Air Force ROTC Cadet at UMass, and relished her time learning military history, participating in team-building and leadership laboratory projects, as well as the physical training that is

necessary to serve in the armed forces.

Watson is taking a bit of a break during the summer with one class at UMass and still working her part-time job at Leo’s Deli in the downtown area.

“My ultimate goal is to be a pilot and my mechanical engineering background would also assist me if I chose a test pilot position,” she said.

“These fields may be largely dominated by males, but that doesn’t mean that women can’t be successful in those types of jobs.

Most of the items you noted were covered in an executive session at the end of the meeting.

Justice Scalia is a Homophobe

By BARNEY FRANK Politico.com Gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people won two victories in the Supreme Court today. We expected the big one: the fourth in a series of opinions by Justice Anthony Kennedy—one of the last sitting Reagan appointees—vindicating our right to legal equality. The unexpected one was smaller in public impact but also significant: Justice Antonin Scalia’s disclaimer that he is not personally troubled by the fact that we can marry each other. After a series of opinions, speeches and public comments expressing his strong disapproval of us, vigorously defending society’s right to express this attitude in discriminatory public policies, Scalia begins his characteristically vitriolic dissent by protesting that “the substance of today’s decree is not of immense personal importance to me.”

Yeah, right. This strikes me as the least sincere disavowal of homophobia I have encountered since former Majority Leader Dick Armey tried to argue that his reference to me as “Barney Fag” was just a mispronunciation of my last name. What we have here instead marks a tactical shift.

Apparently, Justice Scalia has come to realize that since public opinion in America has moved away from anti-LGBT prejudice, heavily salting his writings with a personal distaste for the idea that we should enjoy the same rights as our heterosexual brothers and sisters weakens the appeal of his legal reasoning.

(Compare his angry screed in the sodomy case, essentially justifying the criminalization of private sexual conduct between consenting adults, with Justice Clarence Thomas’s terse statement that while he would have voted against the “silly” Texas statute in question, he believed it was a deeply flawed judgment that the Legislature was constitutionally permitted to make.) So in an unexplained abandonment of his vigorously anti-LGBT prior stance, Justice Scalia asks that his pronouncement that the Court’s opinion calls our democracy into question be judged not on the substantive issue, but as an expression of his view that “allow[ing] the policy question of same-sex marriage to be considered and resolved by a select, patrician, highly unrepresentative panel of nine is to violate a principle even more fundamental than no taxation without representation: no social transformation without representation.”

The inconsistency between this dissent and several of Scalia’s prior opinions deepens my skepticism about his newfound tolerant stance. Even before reaching this, there is the question of how many people Scalia thinks were on the Court when it ordered a much further-reaching social transformation in its decisions on race—including, of course, on who could marry whom.

Second, of very contemporary relevance, is he arguing that while the elite nine should never initiate social transformations, they should be free to undo those they don’t like, even when they were the product of action by the popularly elected branches? Scalia enthusiastically voted to invalidate the key part of the transformational Voting Rights Act—only a few years after it had been readopted by large non-elite Congressional majorities.

And he was about as contemptuous yesterday of Chief Justice John Roberts for his judicial restraint in declining to undo the major transformation of health care policy as he is today of Justice Kennedy’s activism on behalf of equality.

This is not simply an example of ideologically-driven inconsistency, of invoking the principle of democracy undiluted to denounce the Court when it invalidates one policy on Constitutional grounds and hailing it as a defender of our basic rights when its strikes down another. In the case of same-sex See Scalia, Page 5

The Grand Old Party’s future shock Friday’s Supreme Court ruling shows Republicans fumbling for answers in an America changing faster than they are.

By GLENN THRUSH and KYLE CHENEY Politico.com In a week of painstakingly drafted Supreme Court decisions, no literary effort was crafted more gingerly than Jeb Bush’s statement following the high court’s 5-to-4 endorsement of same-sex marriage rights on Friday.

First, the former Florida governor paid homage to his beliefs and to evangelical political orthodoxy. “Guided by my faith, I believe in traditional marriage,” he wrote.

Then, he quickly pivoted to the more popular political center: “I also believe that we should love our neighbor and respect others, including those making lifetime commitments. In a country as diverse as ours, good people who have opposing views should be able to live side by side.”

That statement – a live-and-let-live strategy that closely mirrors his brother George’s approach to abortion a decade ago – underscored Bush’s personal opposition to same-sex marriage as a devout Catholic. But more than anything, it revealed a maneuvering, modern conservative worried about his party being caught on the wrong side of history – whatever his personal view of the issue.

Democrats, and many other Americans of varying political stripes enjoyed a feel-good national moment, but the GOP wasn’t invited to the party – Republicans were worrying about how to keep from being trampled by the accelerating gallop of 21st-century social change.

“In the state of Nevada, you can get married to a hooker who you met at the bar 30 minutes after meeting her with a blood alcohol level of 3.2 by an Elvis at a drive-through,” said Steve Schmidt, who managed the 2008 presidential campaign of Sen. John McCain. “At the end of the day, it’s an untenable position to be against ultimately millions of actual Americans’ marriages and commitments.”

Richard Land, the firebrand evangelical leader who wrote the famous letter urging Christians to support George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq, summed up the view of many on the right tier of the Republican presidential field. “It’s a sad day for the country and now the battlefield shifts to freedom of conscience,” he told Politico. “It’s going to be an important issue in 2016.”

It’s also a matter of old-fashioned wedge politics, and Democrats are delighted at the growing roster of issues pulling the GOP backward through time. Last week, Southern Republicans were stunned by the wave of public, bipartisan sentiment against state-sanctioned displays of the Confederate flag in the wake of the Charleston massacre. After a stumbling start, local Republicans acted with deliberate speed, and not just in South Carolina: Alabama’s Robert Bentley, one of the country’s most conservative governors, ordered the rebel battle flag lowered over the capitol in Montgomery, where the civil war was declared and George Wallace delivered his “segregation forever” speech.”

Still, many standard-issue Republican positions, though they remain regional political assets in the South and parts of the Midwest, are underwater: The GOP’s blanket opposition to minimum-wage hikes, a more open immigration policy, and background checks on guns and lockstep support for tough antiabortion laws and tax breaks for the wealthy all poll relatively poorly.

“The problem for the Republican Party is that you have a recalcitrant minority trying to hold off a tolerant majority,” says David Boaz of the libertarian Cato Institute. “The increased salience of social issues is a challenge for Republicans.

Candidates like Bush – who have to think about running in a general election – know there’s a shift going on and they have to react… That’s why most of the [top-tier] candidates will try to avoid these issues. But the ones who aren’t at that level, they are going to keep bringing them back.”

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, the most conservative of the top GOP candidates, put his rivals on notice by calling for a Constitutional amendment to allow states to roll back the ruling.

Rick Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator, accused “five unelected judges” of redefining “the foundational unit that binds together our society.” Mike Huckabee, a long-shot Arkansas exgovernor staking everything on an appeal to evangelicals, made an opaque reference to civil disobedience. “I will not acquiesce to an imperial court any more than our Founders acquiesced to an imperial British monarch,” he said in a statement as gay and lesbian couples were posting their plans to wed on thousands of Facebook pages. “We must resist and reject judicial tyranny, not retreat.”

That may be smart primary politics in states like Iowa, but it’s a potentially toxic general-election position. Six out of 10 Republican voters oppose gay marriage – but most national polls show that between 54 and 57 percent of American voters as a whole back same-sex marriage, a number that has increased dramatically in the last five years. Ominously for GOP candidates, 60 percent of young Republicans support the court’s move. Even among white evangelical Protestants, support for gay marriage has increased from 13 percent in 2001 to about 27 percent today, according to the Pew Research Center.

The culture wars of the last three decades have taken their toll on the conservative brand. Self-declared conservatives still outnumber liberals, but Ronald Reagan’s success at turning the L-word into an epithet has come undone. Gallup polling out last week suggested 24 percent of Americans identify as liberal, a

high-water mark since at least 1992. Though at 38 percent, selfidentified conservatives still outnumber them, it’s a sign of new muscle for the left.

With numbers like these, the Republican establishment is eager to shove most social issues into the closet for 2016 – as they did successfully in the 2014 midterms, when the party showcased candidates like Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner, camera-ready social conservatives who are less likely to push their agenda than a previous generation of candidates.

“From the top down, you are seeing Republicans really trying to thread the needle on this issue, to remain consistently opposed to marriage equality while not trying alienate voters in the general election,” said Gregory Angelo, executive director of the Log Cabin Republicans, which has long advocated for the rights of gay and lesbian conservatives.

Even Angelo, who celebrated the ruling, is eager to put it behind Republicans – and urged the 2016 presidential candidates to focus on issues he believes should dominate the election: the economy, Hillary Clinton’s woes, and the Obama administration’s struggle to fight the Islamic State. “It’s not going to go away,” he said of the gay-marriage divide. “But there are civil wars on the Democratic side as well. It’s no accident that Bernie Sanders is surging in New Hampshire – it’s not that his opinion on marriage is doing that – it’s about income inequality and immigration and issues where he’s beating Clinton.”

Still, all the GOP infighting has obscured the tortured history of the gay-marriage issue in the Democratic Party on victorylap day.

Both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton flat-out refused to endorse marriage equality in the 2008 campaign – when it didn’t poll quite as well as it does these days – and initially refused to condemn a senior Bush administration official who declared homosexuality “immoral.”

That didn’t stop White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett this week from tweeting Obama’s observation that “When I became President, same sex marriage was legal in only two states” – a time when he was still evolving on the issue.

Over the past several years, Democrats have largely closed ranks over social issues – in part because young voters tend to be socially liberal, in part because more conservative Democrats have been defeated by Republicans or frog-marched out of the party.

The court did the GOP a big favor, though, by disposing of the gay marriage (and Obamacare rulings) six months before the first primary ballots are cast, giving the Republican camps time to sort out their differences. For the moment, the most unifying default position for Republicans is to blame the Roberts Court for the Obamacare and marriage decisions, even though evangelicals played a critical role in winning the appointments of its ostensibly conservative majority. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s response to the marriage decision was dour enough, but his disappointment was directed more at the court than at backers of the marriage equality movement. “We live in a republic and must abide by the law,” the Florida senator said in a more-in-sorrow-than-anger statement. “As we look ahead, it must be a priority of the next president to nominate judges and justices committed to applying the Constitution as written and originally understood.”

But no serious candidate has steered as close to the center on gay marriage as Bush. He supported Indiana’s anti-gay-marriage religious freedom law, then subsequently told donors he wanted to avoid all “the yelling and screaming” of the debate.

But the demands of the GOP debate and primary process are sure to drag everyone to the right – because white, religiousminded, social conservatives participate in disproportionate numbers. By wedging moderate New Hampshire between social conservative bastions like Iowa and New Hampshire, Republican presidential candidates are forced into rhetorical contortions that muddy their messages and force them to mix conservative nostalgia with a wink to trending, moderate undercurrents.

“You’ve got a lot of social conservatives in Iowa and South Carolina and you’ve got more a pragmatic or, I guess, an economic electorate in places like New Hampshire and Michigan and probably Florida,” said Craig Stevens, a Republican activist in the Granite State. “Folks are picking their battleground.”

In the aftermath of the gay marriage ruling, Stevens said establishment-oriented candidates are pantomiming another Bush — George W. Bush – who walked the finest of lines on abortion: He acknowledged Roe v. Wade as the law of the land but urged the nation to reduce the number of abortions. The parallel, Schmidt said, would be a call to “ensure that marriage is strong in America” and reject incursions on religious institutions whose faith precludes same-sex unions.

It was George W. Bush and his aide Karl Rove who say the Republican Party’s demographic nightmare coming 15 years ago when they pushed conservatives to embrace immigration reform as a way to woo young Hispanic voters. And gay marriage, above all else, is a generational issue.

“We look at this issue as left and right to some degree. It’s really under 40-over 40. Under-40 Republicans support the ruling,” said Steve Schmidt, who thinks Walker should drop his marriage amendment idea for the sake of the party.

“Support for gay marriage is not going to start suddenly contracting now that it’s legal everywhere,” he added. “This will be the last presidential election where you have Republicans trapped into the positions they have on this issue because it’s no longer a political issue. This is a settled issue now.”

marriage, the debate which Scalia praises as “American democracy at its best” was frozen until the unelected Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court—in this case only seven “select etc” -initiated a social transformation in our state.

Only nineteen years ago, I helped lead the fight in Congress against the Defense of Marriage Act. We lost big. Every Republican but one in the House and Senate combined joined with heavy Democratic majorities in both bodies to vote yes.

Only twelve senators and 67 representatives stood in opposition. I could not deny that, at the time, this accurately represented prevailing public opinion. In recognition of this, and in the interest of keeping this from being the issue that drove a deep wedge between LGBT voters and those politicians who supported us most of the time, I campaigned in 1996 for some in that category who had agreed to DOMA—including, most notably, Bill Clinton and Sen. Paul Wellstone.

We made little progress over the next seven years in winning over public opinion or public officials. While the country was becoming less prejudiced against us in general, tens of millions who were not personally biased were being told that allowing us to marry would be socially destabilizing. The very novelty of same sex marriage made it hard to refute this, especially in the absence of any countervailing experience. Even people generally disposed to treat us fairly were resistant to a social experiment with so fundamental an institution.

Then came Chief Justice Margaret Marshall and her three brave colleagues. Same-sex marriage came to Massachusetts, and we begin to accumulate the factual ammunition that ultimately allowed us to disprove the predictions of gloom and doom, and build the support nationwide that led finally to our winning all four state referenda in 2012 and seeing national public opinion become supportive.

This did not happen automatically. Most importantly, and most difficultly, it required painful self-restraint. I argued strongly, not to everyone’s happiness, that proclaiming the right to same-sex marriage everywhere, in the absence of a strong local legal basis, would allow our opponents to enact the anti-marriage constitutional amendment George W. Bush was proposing—an amendment that Karl Rove anticipated would severely damage Democrats in 2004. I needed to be able to persuade sympathetic colleagues whose local electorates were strongly opposed to our cause that protecting our right to marry in Massachusetts had no spill-over effect in their states, allowing them to defend voting against the Bush-Rove ploy. Our ability to win nationwide—obviously our common goal—required beginning by focusing our efforts in Massachusetts and any other specific state where we had a con-

Most people feel like, it’s a dangerous snake, so what?

When harming endangered species, people are “killing publicly valuable assets,” said French.

“Every species of wildlife is a valuable asset and deserve our protection–it’s public policy.”

Additionally, French said, snakes usually aren’t dangerous unless people engage them. The best thing to do, he said is to leave them alone.

Timber rattlesnakes are large, heavy-bodied snakes in the pit viper family with broad, triangularly shaped heads and a distinct narrowing just behind the head, according to NHESP. “Color patterns are extremely variable in this

crete victory. And we did. Led by the very effective Mass. Equality organization, we concentrated on defeating Mitt Romney’s crusade to become the right wing’s favorite Republican by reversing the Massachusetts decision.

When we won, I became confident that we would ultimately succeed—although as in other cases of LGBT rights, I underestimated the speed with which we would progress. Massachusetts became the solid beachhead from which we could go forward, joined shortly by New Hampshire, Iowa and a handful of others.

What is important here in refuting Scalia is not just that unelected judges started this process, but that if we had been unpersuasive in arguing that same-sex marriage enhanced our lives without in any way hurting anyone else—or their marriages—Romney’s assault on us would have prevailed. What Chief Justice Marshall and her fellow and sister patricians did would not have been sustainable if Massachusetts voters, having observed same-sex marriage in operation, agreed that it somehow injured them. This model—of a court setting down a rule which is initially unpopular but that will ultimately survive intact only if it gains public acceptance as it is applied in practice—is the justification in democratic terms for judicial intervention on behalf of minorities.

Before the Massachusetts decision, we were blocked. We could not marry because the heterosexual majority believed that it would unsettle their lives, and we could not expose this as a myth until we could marry. What Scalia’s “highly unrepresentative panel” shattered in Massachusetts in 2003 was not the ultimate rule by the people, but the vicious cycle that entrapped us.

Returning to Scalia’s profession of unconcern about our marrying, while I doubt that he means it, I am very glad that he said it. In what I acknowledge is a somewhat ironic invocation of the specific words, it is an example of the guidance provided by La Rochefoucauld for analyzing arguments: “Hypocrisy is the tribute that vice pays to virtue.” When a debater unconvincingly seeks to dissociate himself from something he has long advocated, he is acknowledging that he recognizes the unpopularity of what he believes, and he is prepared to sacrifice it to win the point.

Some of those who interviewed me after this decision was announced asked me if I fear an anti-LGBT backlash in consequence. I don’t— not when the business communities in Indiana, Arkansas and Louisiana tell the bigots to keep their prejudices to themselves. And not when Antonin Scalia feels compelled to volunteer, unusual in a Supreme Court opinion in my reading, that he really isn’t bothered by us.

Barney Frank served as U.S. congressman from Massachusetts from 1981 to 2013.

Southampton downs Westfield Juniors

By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer SOUTHAMPTON – If the Westfield Little League Baseball Junior All-Stars hope to keep playing as the temperatures rise, they will need to catch fire soon.

Westfield fell into a 2-0 hole with a 20-4 loss against Southampton Friday night at Labrie Field. The Whip City Juniors got roughed up in their tournament opener against a mighty Easthampton squad.

Despite the loss Friday night, Westfield’s Mike Durkee had a double, and Brett Bonenfant delivered an RBI single. Devon Nadeau had a stellar effort behind the plate for Whip City Juniors.

Kyle Scherpa earned the victory on the mound for Westfield American, teaming up with Connor Niemiec to throw a perfect game against Gateway.

The tournament action will shift to the 10-11 and 11-12 Year-Old All-Stars Saturday.

In the 10-11-Year-Old Division, Westfield National travels to Longmeadow and Westfield American plays at Agawam in a pair of noontime starts. In 11-12-Year-Old action, Westfield American hosts Amherst at Cross Street Field at 12:30 p.m. Westfield National plays at Belchertown at 5 p.m. Gateway hosts Easthampton gets things started at 10 a.m.

The Westfield Senior AllStars host Agawam Saturday at Hampton Ponds Field at 10 a.m.

On Sunday, the Westfield National 9-10-Year-Old AllStars travel to Gateway. First pitch is at 10 a.m. Westfield American hosts Southampton Zachary Buendia races home to at Cross Street Field at 12:30 score a run for the Westfield p.m.

Offensive Explosion Backs American Perfect Game

By ROBBY VERONESI Correspondent WESTFIELD – Kyle and Jay Scherpa’s rendition of the national anthem on the trumpet and trombone finished on a high note before Westfield American’s 9-and-10-year old All-Stars’ first district pool play game against Gateway, and the rest of the team turned in a near flawless performance afterwards.

K. Scherpa and Connor Niemiec combined for a perfect game on the mound and the offense batted around its order four total times in the game to give the designated visiting team a commanding win Friday evening at Cross Street.

“I thought the sportsmanship that Westfield showed for 9-and-10-year olds was great,” said Head Coach Tom Flaherty. “They were a good team and it allowed us to get a lot of kids multiple at-bats. We got those first-game jitters outs (and) there were lots of good things to boost their confidence.

“It’s hard for the team in that situation to keep their heads in the game. I was proud of the kids defensively because every player in the field’s head was in the game (for every pitch), which is really hard at this level.”

The American pitching duo faced the mini-

mum 12 batters during the four innings played, striking out 11 Gateway batters, with the only hit ball resulting in a groundout to the first baseman to end the second inning. Both pitchers had efficient outings, allowing themselves to be ready for American’s next game.

The American offense allowed plenty of run support and then some for K. Scherpa and Niemiec, batting around their lineup four times in the game. After being designated the visiting team after the coin flip, American scored 15 runs in the first inning to cruise to a comfortable victory.

Every player recorded at least one hit for American, which recorded 34 hits overall, and every player scored at least one run as well.

Scott Hepburn led the attack as a substitute, driving in five runs, while Kyle Scherpa, Jacob Wagner and Patrick Flaherty each added four RBIs to spark the American attack.

“The team has reacted very well to our practice schedule and our regimen this week,” said Flaherty. “Right now, I think if any team can bounce back and be ready for the next game, it’s going to be this team.”

The American All Stars will have a day off before their next district game Sunday at 12:30 p.m. at Cross Street against Southampton.

Westfield American batted around their lineup four times, including twice in two different innings, to win their first district pool play game against Gateway.

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

SPEED FREAKS

3 questions we had to ask — ourselves What does Junior’s engagement do to the fan base?

3

THINGS WE LEARNED DURING THE OFF-WEEK Associated Press file/RONDA CHURCHILL

ROB’S RAMBLINGS: As long as he doesn’t take her name when they marry, he should be fine.

KEN’S CALL: Nothing at all. His fan base wasn’t built on matinee-idol looks, you know.

Time to panic? Junior Earnhardt has hinted at retirement after getting engaged to Amy Reimann.

Who’s riding higher, Amy or Erik?

Flip a coin. Both are coming off the biggest weeks of their lives (call it a hunch). The immediate headlines for both indicate great things for the near and long term — Amy Reimann officially became engaged to NASCAR’s leading man, Dale Earnhardt Jr.; Erik Jones, at 19, confirmed his “future star” label by sweeping the Trucks and Xfinity Series races at Iowa and Chicagoland Speedway. In the aftermath, it’s hugs for Amy and backslaps for Erik.

How long before Tony Stewart follows Junior’s lead?

ROB’S RAMBLINGS: Don’t want to say he’s no spring chicken, but if the firesuit fits ... May be time to step up his game.

KEN’S CALL: If he waits any longer, he’ll be doing Singles Night at The Villages.

What’s it all mean?

For Erik Jones, this validates the faith Kyle Busch had in him when Jones was hired (at age 17, by the way) to drive Kyle’s Truck Series entry. He’s in the Joe Gibbs stable and is certainly pointed toward the Cup Series. Problem is, there’s no room in the main barn at Gibbs, where the show ponies are Busch, Denny Hamlin, Carl Edwards and Matt Kenseth.

Then again, those things can change once the shadows start to grow long on existing contracts.

Who do you like at Sonoma?

ROB’S RAMBLINGS: Sorry, Jeff, I’m jumping ship. Defending winner Carl Edwards has finished in the top three in three of his past four starts here.

KEN’S CALL: I’m sticking with AJ Allmendinger, which will take away one more “points place” in the Chase standings.

Associated Press/NAM Y. HUH

What’s next for Erik Jones after sweeping the Trucks and Xfinity races last weekend?

NASCAR fans are anxious to find out.

1. Junior a romantic?

2. Dillon gets a makeover

3. Jones’ sweet sweep

Florence, Paris, Santorini, Venice ... there’s lots of romantic places in Europe. But Germany? We’ll still give Dale Earnhardt Jr. some major romance points, though. He went all the way to Europe on a family roots fact-finding mission, found a little chapel and asked Amy Reimann to marry him. She said yes.

Starting this weekend, Austin Dillon will drive under new crew chief Richard “Slugger” Labbe. A former Xfinity Series and Trucks Series champion, Dillon is 23rd in the Sprint Cup Series points standings.

His best finish this season is 10th at Bristol. We’ll see how this shake-up helps with his Chase chances dwindling.

Trucks and Xfinity success doesn’t always mean Cup success, but you have to be thinking, “What’s up with this Erik Jones guy?” After sweeping wins in both — and at different tracks — last weekend, and becoming the youngest to do so, expectations for Jones are already soaring.

3

And for Amy? The engagement, while a long time coming, was no surprise. The bigger news, perhaps, was Junior actually talking retirement last week, suggesting he might be looking for the exit within a few years. No one pushed the big panic button in NASCAR’s marketing department, but they nervously cleared their throats and eyeballed it. Whether marriage changes Junior’s mind about the advantages of work weekends, we’ll see.

THINGS TO WATCH FOR AT SONOMA

FEUD OF THE WEEK

1. Track made for Tony We keep waiting for Tony Stewart to re-emerge as one of the marquee drivers, and there’s no better place than Sonoma to make that move. He owns two wins, five top-5s and nine top-10s.

GIL MARTIN

2. Don’t be surprised if ...

GIL MARTIN VS. “SLUGGER” LABBE: Richard Childress taps Labbe to replace Martin as crew chief for the struggling Austin Dillon.

KEN WILLIS’ TAKE: “No outward hostility here, because these moves are typical when a big-money team is struggling.”

This is the track where drivers you might not choose in the office pool can wind up in Victory Lane. Clint Bowyer and Ryan Newman are among the leaders in driver ratings here.

3. Parity streak Dating back to 2001, Jeff Gordon is the lone two-time winner at Sonoma. Is this the week he breaks the skid in his farewell season?

Annie’s Mailbox

By KATHY MITCHELL and MARCY SUGAR

Exhausted

Dear Annie: I used to be one of those people who, when I heard that someone was ill or injured, would say, “If I can do anything to help, please call me.” I meant it with all of my heart, but of course, no one ever called, so I wrongfully assumed they were OK. Then disaster struck our home. My husband fell down some steps and suddenly was a quadriplegic. Not only did it forever change our lives, it also made me realize that even though I needed help, I was hesitant to reach out. So here is my advice to those who really want to be of assistance but don’t know how: 1. If it’s the season to do something around your house (mow the grass or clean the gutters), your friend will need to do the same thing. If your snow needs shoveling, so does hers.

If your leaves need raking, so do hers. Don’t ask. Call and say, “I have an extra hour. I’m going to run over and rake your leaves,” and don’t take no for an answer. My pride kept me from asking, but I would gladly have accepted help from someone who insisted.

2. Don’t make promises you don’t intend to keep. We had a neighbor who told us on four separate occasions that he would come by to fix a broken door but didn’t show up.

3. Cook something. We can no longer afford to go out to dinner, nor can we justify the expense of the special van needed to transport my husband to a restaurant. I am so tired of eating nothing but my own cooking. If you make an extra amount of anything, your friend would probably appreciate your sharing. People tend to bring food for the first couple of weeks, but now, months later, a meal would be so wonderful, and I would be so grateful. Anything I don’t have to cook tastes delicious.

4. If your friend isn’t “tool educated” or “computer literate” and you are, you could be a huge help. I have several things that need fixing with a power drill and I’m not good at it and don’t have the time to devote to practicing. Right now, I’m building a sidewalk to our patio. It would be great if someone called to say, “I have two free hours. What do you need help with?” One neighbor came by to remove our storm doors when it occurred to him that I couldn’t do that myself. I could have kissed him.

5. Call to say you are coming over to visit. We both feel so isolated. I would love for people to stop by so I have someone to talk to and he could have a friend watch a baseball game with him. People come when we specifically invite them, but they never call to suggest coming over. I get it. Before, I didn’t know what we’d talk about. But the truth is, I wouldn’t care if we talked about the weather. I want to hear how “real” people live, not just rehash what our life has become. -- Exhausted After 10 Months Dear Exhausted: Your suggestions are excellent. Most people want to help, but they don’t know how to do it. And they don’t want to impose by insisting on cutting the grass, dropping off a meal or asking to stop by for a visit. We hope they will take your words to heart.

Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE NEW HOME FOR THE FOAM Dear Heloise: Regarding recycling FOAM PACKAGING, do you have any ideas? -- Garry L., Calumet City, Ill. Thanks for asking, Garry. I’ve printed this many times, so it’s time again. Check out the EPS Industry Alliance website: www.epsindustry. org. “EPS” stands for “expanded polystyrene,” which is a generic term for foam packaging. The website is full of information about how to recycle foam packaging that comes with new electronics, phones, etc. There is a special area just for loose-fill packaging (packing peanuts). The site will direct you to recycling locations near you, based on your ZIP code. If you have questions about ONLY foam “peanuts,” call 800-828-2214.

Do call a recycling center in your area and see what they suggest.

When stuck for information, use your tax dollars. Call the library and ask for the reference desk. These folks are super! They can get the contact information you need, and help steer you in the right direction.

Readers, other hints for Garry? Let me know, and I’ll pass them along. -- Hugs, Heloise PET PAL Dear Readers: Marilyn in Randolph, Maine, sent a picture of her 10-year-old long-haired cat, Freddie, pestering her parakeet, but the bird is unfazed! To see Freddie and our other Pet Pals, visit www.

Heloise.com and click on “Pets,” then “Pet of the Week.” -- Heloise BIRDS Dear Heloise: Question: Why waste old bread? Don’t! Just throw it out for our bird friends. They will be most delighted with their finds. -- Brenda M., Amarillo, Texas Our feathered friends do like little munches. Bread is what we’ve been tossing to the birds for years. They do need other food, but breadcrumbs can supplement their diet.

Our in-home feathered household members can eat SMALL portions of WHOLE-GRAIN breads -- just a nibble or two. -- Heloise

YOUR

HOROSCOPE

By Jaqueline Bigar

DOG EAT DOUG

Brian Anderson

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, June 27, 2015: This year much of what occurs seems to happen naturally. If you find that you are avoiding a lot of difficult situations, pull back and consider how you might be interfering with potentially good struggles and/or life lessons. If you are single, as of mid-August your life will take a surprising turn. Opportunities to meet more people emerge, and a special relationship is in the offing. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy each other’s company more and more. Consider taking off for some long weekends. SCORPIO can be extremely demanding.

ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie

ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett

ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Relate to a loved one directly.

You might not agree with this person, but you will develop a better understanding of his or her thought process. Others surprise you with their enthusiasm. One person’s chatter seems to point to the wrong choice. Tonight: Treat a friend to dinner.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Trust that your words will be heard and that others will appreciate your suggestions. You might want to gain some insight into what motivates a friend. A discussion could be uncomfortable yet enlightening. Tonight: Enjoy some oneone-one time with a loved one.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You might be busy with a project or with fulfilling a responsibility involving an older person. You will feel as if you can conqueror anything. Be imaginative with whatever you are doing, but remain realistic in your choices. Tonight: Know when to call it a night.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your sense of direction will take you down a unique path that promotes creativity and understanding. When you express these characteristics, others seem to be drawn to you. Don’t worry so much, and consider working through stress by exercising. Tonight: Be naughty!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Recognize how much is going on with you that you are not discussing.

Know that a friend notices your mood change. Stay close to home and get into a favorite relaxing pastime. Taking a break from your life’s hectic pace will help renew your energy. Tonight: Play it lowkey.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH A key person in your life often might opt to share some unusual ideas.

Help this person test them and find out whether they are workable. Expect a little resistance at first. A gentle playfulness will mark a significant conversation.

Tonight: Make it intense.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Be aware of what someone is really saying, as this person’s words could have several implications. You might be surprised by the response you receive if you start asking questions. Nevertheless, it is important to be on the same page.

Tonight: Make it your treat.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Reach out to a friend before making plans. You might enjoy yourself much more if this person is involved in what you are doing. One-on-one relating will result in mindful conversations and an empowered sense of well-being.

Tonight: Go for what you want.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Conversations with others might be awkward, but understand that you are heading toward a more fulfilling relationship. You like your freedom, and making any kind of commitment often is difficult for you. Tonight: Set the scene for more fun and caring.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH You have been going through a major transformation that you haven’t necessarily shared. However, those who are close to you probably already know. Be open; let them see where you have been, where you are and what you are thinking. Tonight: Make it memorable.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH No matter how you see a personal matter, the other parties involved might be visualizing the potential outcome much differently. Take a hard look at what is motivating a strong stance. You probably will want to update your thinking. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Others often go along with your schemes and wild ideas. As you play out a scenario, you will find yourself

Cryptoquip

Crosswords

delighted to be with a certain person. If you are single, be aware of what is going on between the two of you. A family member wants your time. Tonight: Let romance in.
