Auto inspection changes won’t affect motorists By AMY PORTER Correspondent WESTFIELD – Rumors abound about the impending changes in vehicle inspection set to go into effect October 1. According to inspection service stations, the changes won’t be affecting the motorist. “Everybody seems to be freaking out about the new system, but it doesn’t affect them at all,” said Nino Bruno, inspector at DeGray’s Service on Meadow Street in Westfield. Bruno said all of the laws and regulations are the same, as is the price, $35 for an inspection. Bruno said that every eight to ten
years, Massachusetts switches contractors, which is what has happened here. With a new contractor, comes a new system, he said. He said the new equipment has arrived, but inspectors aren’t allowed to touch it until the new contractors come to set it up. According to Judith Riley of the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles, the state is in the process of transitioning between contracted vendors to install and maintain the vehicle inspection network. The RMV licenses all vehicle inspectors and inspection stations. The equipment that is used by See Inspections, Page 7
German exchange students come to Westfield High School By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—German exchange students have arrived at Westfield High School this week to experience their own bit of American and western Massachusetts culture and education— including the Big E.

WESTFIELD – The City of Westfield announced on Friday that road construction is scheduled to start on Monday September 18 on East Main Street (Route 20) between Delmont Avenue and Ascutney Avenue. The construction includes the installation of new sanitary sewers and a water service for the new McDonald’s restaurant that is being constructed. The work will require lane closures in both directions and potential detours that could cause significant traffic delays in the area. Motorists are encouraged to seek alternative routes. The work is expected to take approximately one week to complete. Further updates will be provided as they become available. Further inquiries may be directed to the City of Westfield Engineering Department, (413) 572-6219.

I want to do bass fishing,” one student from Europa Gymnasium said. The students were greeted yesterday to the school with a breakfast provided by culinary arts teacher Margaret Toomey and her students, which included French toast sticks, pancakes, omelets and fruit.

22nd Citizen’s Police Academy set to begin By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent SOUTHWICK – The Southwick Police Department is always searching for ways to unite the police with the community, and one successful tool has been the Citizens Police Academy. The town’s 22nd Citizen’s Police Academy is set to start on Oct. 10 and the eight-week program will be held every Tuesday night during which the participants will get a firsthand experience of what it’s like to be a police officer. During the first class, participants will receive an introduction to the program as well as a history of the Southwick Police
Department. Officers will then give a tour of the department and provide people with information on the dispatch center. From there, citizens will get more handson training which includes use of force and also going to the local gun range on a Saturday morning. Chief David Ricardi, who helped bring the program back to life when he became Chief in 2013, realizes just how beneficial this program is for the community. “It brings our citizens a ground level view of what we do,” said Ricardi. “Everything is right there.” See Academy, Page 3

SEABROOK, N.H. (AP) — A fisherman says he had a close encounter with a humpback whale near a New Hampshire beach. Michael Lamagna was wearing a GoPro camera while flyfishing on a paddleboard near Seabrook Beach on Monday. His camera captured a whale swimming just a few feet from him. Lamagna posted the video on Facebook. The 30-year-old from Massachusetts says he definitely thought he was going to fall in the water when he saw the whale. He described it as a 25-foot, juvenile humpback. Lamagna says he knew there were whales in the area, but he didn’t think he’d get that close to one. https://www.facebook.com/ longwharfsupply/ videos/1752053518429074/

the National Federation of Independent Business, John Cahill of Landry & Arcani Rugs in Salem, and Christopher Connolly, President of the Massachusetts State Automobile Dealers Association. The Senate’s order calls for a report to the Legislature of the group’s findings by June 2018. Humason has long been an advocate in the legislature for strengthening the state’s retail economy, earning praise and endorsement from the National Federation of Independent Businesses. He has supported legislative efforts to create an annual sales tax holiday in the state and a reduction of the state’s sales tax, while opposing repeated attempts to increase the state’s minimum wage. “While it will be helpful to examine the ways we can assist retailers, we also must recognize that laws we have enacted or could enact may be harmful to retailers as well, so I hope we include that in our discussions,” said Senator Humason. Senator Humason represents the 2nd Hampden and Hampshire District, which consists of the cities of Agawam, Easthampton, Holyoke, Westfield, and parts of the city of Chicopee; and the towns of Granville, Montgomery, Russell, Southampton, Southwick and Tolland.

It also gives people the opportunity to see the various roles that certain officers have in the department. Throughout the different weeks of the program, individuals will gain an understanding of an officer who solely focuses on the court system, or another who deals with firearms, or another officer who is the school resource officer for the school district. Being able to paint the citizens a real picture of the actual duties that a Southwick Police officer has is critical for the instructors of this class. “They get to see that side of the different aspects of the job,” said Sgt. Kirk Sanders, who is the Community Police officer of the department and also organizes every Citizens Police Academy program. While every week is crucial for the citizens to learn, Sanders points out that there is a specific exercise that individuals do in week eight that really gives citizens a full understanding of what a police officer goes through. Called “You’re the Cop,” a police officer brings a participant with them for a ride along in the cruiser and allows them to conduct a mock traffic stop. The officers make sure that the citizen gets to experience a number of scenarios that any cop can go through during a stop. “At the end of this session, they all realize it’s not easy approaching a vehicle,” said Sanders. “The scenarios could change very quickly.” After the eight week course is completed, week nine is reserved for the Citizens Police Academy Graduation which takes place on December 5. Since its inception in 2001, Sgt. Kirk Sanders has organized the Citizen’s Police Academy and has taught around 500 citizens. Along with the several officers that assist in the program, Sander’s dedication to the Citizen’s Police Academy doesn’t go unnoticed. “He’s very dedicated to it, it’s one of his passions,” said Ricardi. “He enjoys interacting with the community.” If anyone is interested in participating in the upcoming Citizen’s Police Academy on Oct. 10, you can apply by picking up an application in the front lobby of the Southwick Police Department or you go on the department’s website and download the application.

Still no charity money from leftover Trump inaugural funds By JEFF HORWITZ and JULIE BYKOWICZ Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's inaugural committee raised an unprecedented $107 million for a ceremony that officials promised would be "workmanlike," and the committee pledged to give leftover funds to charity. Nearly eight months later, the group has helped pay for redecorating at the White House and the vice president's residence in Washington. But nothing has yet gone to charity. What is left from the massive fundraising is a mystery, clouded by messy and, at times, budget-busting management of a private fund that requires little public disclosure. The Associated Press spoke with eight people — vendors, donors and Trump associates — involved in planning and political fundraising for the celebration, an event that provides an early look at the new president's management style and priorities. The people described a chaotic process marked by last-minute decisions, staffing turnover and little financial oversight. Among the head-scratching line-items was the pre-inaugural Lincoln Memorial concert, which came with a $25 million price tag, according to four of the people. The price dwarfs a similar event staged eight years earlier for Obama's first inauguration. One person familiar with the committee's thinking said the $25 million included broadcasting costs and other events, complicating an apples-to-apples comparison with past inaugural concert expenses. Other people familiar with the committee's activities before and after the inauguration said its efforts were hobbled by a shortage of staff with relevant experience. Tom Barrack, chairman of the private Presidential Inaugural Committee, and other former committee officials said the inauguration was a great success but declined to answer detailed questions from AP about how money was spent. Barrack said that keeping the books closed was no different from any past inauguration. In a recent statement, Barrack said the committee's donations to charity "surely will exceed any previous inauguration," but will have to wait until the end of November, when he said the committee will publicly disclose details about its finances. Barrack told the AP in June that "a full and clean external audit has been conducted and completed" of the inaugural committee's finances, though the committee would not share a copy with AP or say who performed it. Two Trump associates familiar with efforts to sort out the financing said they were unaware of a completed third-party audit. Three people said the delay in doling out leftover money comes amid ongoing confusion about how much is left after the Jan. 20 celebration. The people spoke only on condition of anonymity in order to reveal details about private conversations. Leaders of previous inaugurations expressed surprise at the slow timeline. They say they had a general handle on their finances — and had already started giving money away — within three months of Inauguration Day, though formally closing down the committees took many months longer. "The thing about inaugural expenses, they're not complicated," said Steve Kerrigan, head of President Barack Obama's 2013 inaugural committee. "You take money in, you pay it out, and then you know what you're left with when it's done." Because inauguration funds are private money, there are few limits on how leftover money can be used. Previous administrations have used it to supplement budgets for work on the White House residence or events like the annual Easter Egg Roll. Stephanie Grisham, a spokeswoman for first lady Melania Trump, confirmed Trump has continued the practice of using some leftover inauguration funds for renovations to the White House and Naval Observatory, home of the vice president. She declined to disclose the amounts spent on those projects. Trump has a history of making bold charitable promises — with slow follow through. In January 2016, he held a high-profile fundraiser for veterans' causes, but it took him four months — and pressure from the media — to follow through on his pledge to donate $1 million of his own money. During the campaign, Trump's longtime personal foundation came under fire for its use of other people's money to fund his charitable pledge. Trump's inaugural committee was aggressive in its fundraising. While both Obama and President George W. Bush both limited the size of individual and corporate donations. Trump's committee allowed unlimited individual donations and corporate donations of up to $1 million. The group took $5 million from casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, and millions more from business giants including Boeing, AT&T and Reynolds American. See Charity, Page 5

In this Thursday, Sept. 14, 2017, file photo, President Donald Trump talks with reporters after landing on Air Force One, in Fort Myers, Fla. Trump has taken a hard stand that slashing the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to as low as 15 percent would free up cash at these companies. The money would seep into worker paychecks and hiring would accelerate. “We’re going to have magnificent growth,” Trump declared aboard Air Force One on Thursday. “We’re going to go like a rocket ship.” But several economists, tax experts and even some business owners say that’s unlikely.

Doubts arise on whether corporate tax cut would boost growth By JOSH BOAK AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — For President Donald Trump, what's good for General Motors is great for American workers. Same for Boeing. And AT&T. Not to mention small businesses. Trump insists that slashing the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to as low as 15 percent would free up valuable cash. Companies would use the money to boost investment, increase employees' pay, accelerate hiring and speed economic growth. What's more, corporations that now keep trillions overseas to avoid U.S. taxes would bring the money home. American companies could better compete with rivals based in countries with lower tax rates. "We're going to have magnificent growth," Trump declared aboard Air Force One on Thursday. "We're going to go like a rocket ship." Would we? Many economists, tax experts and even some business owners say it's unlikely. Rather than hire, companies might use much of their tax savings to buy back their stock or increase their dividends to investors. Many companies, they note, have already been able to borrow at historically low rates to expand their businesses yet have chosen not to. "The mainstream economic evidence is that the bulk of corporate tax cuts go exactly to whom you would expect — which is wealthy investors and executives," said Chye-Ching Huang, deputy director of federal tax policy at the left-leaning Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. Many economists foresee some benefits from overhauling and simplifying the corporate tax code, just not the extreme growth Trump is promising. One reason corporate tax cuts might provide little overall benefit is the relative health of today's economy. Unemployment is already unusually low at 4.4 percent. The economy is in the ninth year of a slow but steady expansion, rather than in a downturn in which tax cuts might deliver a major boost. In a 2014 paper, two economists — Alexander Ljungqvist of New York University and Michael Smolyansky of the Federal Reserve — concluded that state corporate tax cuts did little to strengthen economic activity unless the cuts were made during a recession. (The flip side is that they found corporate tax increases to be "uniformly harmful.") Nor have previous efforts to reduce corporate taxes generally delivered as advertised. Kansas, for example, exempted hundreds of thousands of businesses from corporate taxes and cut individual rates in 2012, only to face a revenue squeeze as the intended economic growth never materialized. The federal government provided a tax "holiday" on overseas profits in 2004 to bring money back into the United States at a discount to the 35 percent rate. But the Obama administration observed later that the move had diminished tax revenue and unintentionally led companies to hoard cash abroad in hopes of receiving that discount. There is also concern that a corporate tax cut would swell the federal budget deficit. When the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center published an analysis this week, it found that even if virtually all tax breaks were eliminated, the corporate rate could drop only to 26 percent without increasing the deficit.
Still, many companies stress that lower business taxes would lead to more hiring. John Stephens, AT&T's chief financial officer, said his company faces a typical tax rate of 34 percent — including federal, state, foreign and deferred taxes — in any given year. Stephens estimates that lower rates would lead the company to immediately invest more money in its phone network, which he said would lead to more hiring by companies that work with AT&T. "When we buy more equipment, our vendors hire more," Stephens said. "When we build more extensive networks, we have people — hard-hat jobs — building those networks." The AT&T executive added that "anything" would be an improvement on the current corporate tax rate of 35 percent. But like many corporations, AT&T also benefited substantially from tax breaks between 2008 and 2015, saving as much as than $38 billion, according to an analysis by the left-leaning Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy. The administration has yet to spell out all the possible tax breaks that would be eliminated to pay for lower rates. Even if the tax rates were slashed substantially, not all companies would see much of a reason to hire more workers. Bill Parks, who owns NRS, an Idaho-based boating gear company, says the tax cuts championed by Trump would no longer do much to help his business. Years ago, the lower rates would have helped him because he was maxing out his personal credit cards and taking a second mortgage to fund NRS. But today's borrowing rates are so low that investing in workers isn't a burden, and tax changes would make little difference to his plans based on how his company is structured. Gary Cohn, Trump's top economic adviser, has argued that the planned tax cuts would help small businesses. By cutting taxes on profits that typically double as the owners' personal income, those companies would then be able to hire more freely. This assumes that business owners want to expand their payroll rather than just enjoy higher profits. Larry Summers, a Democratic former Treasury secretary, this month rattled off a list of reasons to reporters why lower corporate tax rates wouldn't deliver as promised. Though U.S. companies do face a high rate compared with other countries, Summers said, the fraction of profits being paid in federal taxes is low by historical standards. Corporate income taxes collected last year equaled just 1.6 percent of the economy, according to government records. That compares with 4 percent during the economic boom that followed World War II, an era of growth that Trump appears to want to revive. Nor, in Summers' view, would rising stock prices from a lower corporate tax rate shore up the pensions of firefighters, police officers and blue collar workers, as Cohn has argued. Those few Americans who still have traditional "defined benefit" pensions don't receive any additional income if the stock market rises, Summers said. "The argument being made that the corporate tax cuts will somehow benefit workers is weak by the standards of 'trickledown' arguments," Summers said.

Town might change Board of Selectmen to Selectwomen BROOKLINE, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts town says it will consider changing the name of its governing body from the Board of Selectmen to the Board of Selectwomen. Brookline Town Meeting member Michael Burstein tells NECN under his proposal all members of the board, whether male or female, would be referred to as selectwomen. A second proposal would create gender-neutral language for the board and its members. Board members will take up the proposals at their November meeting. Board member Heather Hamilton says she believes titles and symbols matter and she's looking forward to an "interesting hash out" on the proposals. Town residents say the titles should be all-inclusive. They suggest using terms such as "selectpeople" and just "person" because that probably "would make everybody happy."
Professor files discrimination suit against Christian school WENHAM, Mass. (AP) — A professor at a Christian college in Massachusetts has filed a lawsuit alleging she was denied a promotion for speaking out against the school's LGBTQ polices. The Salem News (http://bit.ly/2x6HzBs ) reports that Gordon College associate professor Margaret DeWeese-Boyd filed a discrimination complaint in Essex Superior Court on Wednesday. DeWeese-Boyd is seeking damages and an injunction ordering the college to end discrimination and retaliation. She alleges college President Michael Lindsay and Provost Janel Curry discriminated against her because she opposed the school's policy against "homosexual practice." DeWeeseBoyd also says she has faced harsher penalties compared to male colleagues who have vocally opposed the school. A Gordon spokesman said DeWeese-Boyd's accusations are "baseless".

The committee's total haul of $107 million was nearly twice that of Obama's inauguration in 2009. "Our ability to raise more private funding than any inaugural committee before is a tribute to the generosity of the American people and their excitement to "make America great again," Barrack told the AP in a statement this month. Even as Trump's inaugural committee ramped up fundraising, however, its planning goals remained modest. On Dec. 29, spokesman Boris Epshteyn told Breitbart News the planners would avoid pomp and circumstance. "This is not a coronation," he said, noting Trump would have only three inaugural balls — unlike the eight to 14 at the inaugurations of Bill Clinton, Bush and Obama. But the spending got out of hand, according to vendors and others involved with the planning. "They blew out their budgets on so many things," said one person in the events industry who requested anonymity in order to preserve professional relationships. The committee got a late start, according to people in the events industry and Trump associates. That guaranteed the work would be rushed and done at higher cost. A second major problem, according to people involved in the work, was that the committee failed to hire employees with past inauguration planning experience. Among the lead figures overseeing inaugural events, these people said, was Stephanie Wiston Wolkoff, a longtime friend of Melania Trump and high-end events planner in New York. Wolkoff referred questions from the AP to Barrack and the inaugural committee. A final factor in the events' high costs, said people who worked on the inauguration, was planners' relentless focus on ensuring TV quality production for nearly every detail — even ones that were unlikely to be televised. Broadcasting is "what threw the budgets out the window," said one person who worked on the inauguration. Perhaps nowhere did the spending mount as quickly as for Trump's "Make America Great Again! Welcome Celebration." The opening concert featuring Toby Keith and Three Doors Down was broadly similar to concerts put on for Obama in 2009 and Bush in 2005 — except for the cost and size. Bush's inaugural committee spent $2.5 million on its concert on the National Mall. Obama's concert had 10,000 ticketed seats — twice the size of Trump's — and cost less than $5 million, said Kerrigan, and was produced at a high enough level that HBO paid for the rights to telecast it. "I couldn't tell you how we possibly could have spent $25 million on a concert," said Kerrigan. Greg Jenkins, the executive director of Bush's second inauguration, reviewed the Bush committee's budget to see how much it had spent on an opening event and concert. He said he'd received a clear directive from the president-elect: "Don't raise a lot more than you need. Don't go crazy."

Inspections stations and inspectors is sold, installed and maintained by the third party vendor. The contract for the current network vendor, Parsons Technology, expires September 30, 2017 and the system will transition on October 1, 2017 to the new vendor, Applus. The cost of the new basic light duty workstations to be paid by the inspection station is $5,810 or $6,810 for a heavy duty workstation for commercial vehicle inspections, which includes the cost for new fraud deterrent and detection features with 5 cameras per inspection bay, an enhanced sticker technology as well as rugged wireless equipment, robust cabinet and an additional printer, according to the RMV. Of the 5 cameras in each inspection bay, three are video wall mounted, one is workstation mounted, and one is handheld. The handheld camera will be used to take four mandatory pictures prior to all inspections-front license plate, rear license plate, VIN plate and odometer. It can also be used to capture and support safety defects on vehicle, i.e. body rot, windshield cracks, etc. Bruno said the video cameras won’t bother them. “We’ve got security cameras here. When we have had an issue with the state in the past, we’ve called it up on the cameras and contested it. They’re for our own use,” he said. “Don’t panic at all. It’s not going to affect the motorist at all, unless you have a wicked illegal vehicle you’ve been trying to skate by with,” Bruno added. Frank Scigulinsky, owner of Center City Service on Russell Road in Westfield, said the new machine which has already arrived costs $20,000, but “the state is picking up part of the tab.” He expects to pay a onetime fee of around $6,500 for the new machine, but said there is also a monthly payment plan available. “Basically, they just want it done right,” Scigulinsky said about the new equipment. He attended a class on Monday to learn more about it. “There’s going to be a head set. They can come on and watch you, and they can also call you up with a pop-

Riley said the video equipment will not be replacing the role of the licensed inspector. Whether a vehicle meets all the applicable safety and emissions system requirements will be based on the inspector’s determination. The cameras will record the inspection, but they do not have the capacity to identify defective equipment, e. g. the cameras cannot stop an inspection and fail a vehicle for a cracked windshield. An inspection would only be interrupted if the data in the system for the vehicle being inspected does not match the data of the vehicle actually being inspected, in which case a video conference can occur to resolve any discrepancies. Scigulinsky said at the class, they were told, “If you guys are doing it right, you have nothing to worry about.” Scigulinsky said he thinks inspections will take a little more time, at first. “I think it’s going to take a little more time for each one, but with repetition, we’ll do it quicker,” Scigulinsky said. “Time will tell,” said David Lecrenski, owner of Lecrenski Bros. on Clifton Street in Westfield. He said with the new computer and new system to get up and running by October 1, he’s hoping for a smooth startup. Lecrenski Bros. is a Class D. inspection station, which can inspect the biggest trucks to the smallest vehicles, and which he said is a lot more involved. He said his total investment in the new equipment is $12,000.

“I think in the long run, it will be a little more accurate inspection,” Lecrenski said, adding that there are safeguards to prevent problems. He said he chose to go with Bluetooth wireless testing equipment. He said the difference in emissions testing for example is a small lead versus a big long cord. “So we’ll see how that works,” he said “We’re all set, ready to go. We’re just waiting for the new contractor to install the cameras and computer,” Lecrenski said, adding that since October 1 is on a Sunday, he doesn’t anticipate the system to be up and running until the following Tuesday. All three inspectors said they’ve heard rumors that some people are not going to sign out the new equipment, but nobody knew first hand if that were true. “I’m sure some will drop out,” Lecrenski said. However, according to the RMV presentation, all 1,762 current licensed inspection stations have signed up for the new program. Massachusetts signed a 5-year contract with Applus Technologies in October of 2016, which allows for three, 1-year renewal options. The Initial 5-year contract is $29,084,000, paid from revenue generated by the $35 inspection fee. For each $35 paid for the test , the Inspection Station keeps $23.50. The Commonwealth pays Applus $1.343 (A decrease in vendor fee of $.557 over previous contract), and retains $10.157. After 4.4M inspections are conducted, the vendor fee is reduced to .43 per inspection. According to the RMV, Applus has never missed an implementation date.
When it comes to 21st century multimedia platforms, “hyper local” is a term you hear a lot. It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newspapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore. But, day in and day out, The Westfield News provides consistant coverage of the stories you need to know about, that are important to your city, town, neighborhood and home.

met with the students and teachers, as well as Superintendent of Westfield Schools Stefan Czaporowski, Westfield High School Principal Charles Jendryzik and others. “I think GAPP is an outstanding opportunity for our students and the students from Germany to explore different cultures,” Jendrysik said. “It’s an opportunity a lot of schools don’t offer and we couldn’t do it without the support of Westfield families and the community.” According to Martina Hauser, German teacher at Westfield High School and the person who directs the program for the high school, the exchange works by allowing about 15 students and their teachers to exchange each year, with students from Woerth-amRhein—translated into English as “Woerth on the Rhein”—coming to Westfield on the odd years and students from Westfield High School going to Germany on even years. Christine Gerbetz, an instructor of both English and religion from the Woerth-amRhein school and one of two instructors who accompanied the students, said that the students are given exchange partners at the respective schools they are visiting in the program. Through them, a connection is established and the students are provided with a family to live with for three-and-a-half weeks. “The students exchange emails, they Facebook, Skype,” Frau Gerbetz said. “When they arrive they stay with a host family, experience everyday life with the family, go to school with their partner.” While here, the students get to experience the American school system, from academic to extra-curricular activities. This can differ for German students, according to Gerbetz, because the two country’s school systems greatly vary. Some differences, according to Eva Glaser, an English and Spanish teacher who also accompanied the students from Germany, include classes that are not offered in Germany, like culinary courses, as well as an American
student’s ability to choose which courses they enroll in. Glaser also said that instead of students going from one room to another in America, the teachers in Germany are the ones that rove the halls to get from classroom to classroom, while students have one main room for their academics for the day. According to Glaser, the program also helps students learn now and provides benefits for later in life. “It’s a great program. Kids learn so much more, not just language but culture,” Glaser said. “It not only helps later in job and life, it broadens horizons.” And according to Gerbetz, the students may also find that their exchange partners become more than just someone who helped while they were in a new country. “If they’re lucky, they become friends for a lifetime,” she said. Kathy Gallogly, a former German teacher at Westfield High School, said the program at Westfield began in 1982, after she taught in Germany as a Fulbright exchange teacher between 1980 and 1981 and heard about GAPP. Gallogly said she became interested in the program and wanted to utilize it after she returned to teach German in Westfield, but was nervous due to the size of the group of students that could become involved. “I never took a whole group. I took students on one-week trips but 15 seemed like a daunting task,” she said. However, after the school’s administration convinced her to do it she took it on, running the exchange program until her retirement in 2010, which was when Hauser took over. The program, according to Gallogly, began by working with another teacher that was based out of a Hamburg, Germany school, but after four exchanges the teacher left the school. The program then switched to the school in Woerth-am-Rhein.

Gateway (0-3) led from the outset with senior Joe Coon scoring 30 seconds in on a pass from senior Jayden Marge. Jon Foley (3 saves) and Preston Coffey (7 saves) played well in net for Gateway. “It was a well-fought battle,” Gateway coach Tim Gamble said. “We had good senior leadership even though it was a loss.” Gamble also credited seniors Alex Auclair and Ethan Saunders with solid play.
Geddis nets two in Rams’ win Southwick-Tolland 3, Monson 1 Connor Geddis scored two goals, and Jameson Secovich had one as Southwick won on the road at Granite Valley Middle School’s Moriarty Field. Southwick goalie Kyle Demaio collected two saves.

Dear Annie By ANNIE LANE
The Hostile Parent Dear Annie: My father was always a good financial provider to our family when I was growing up. Beyond that, he showed us little affection. He is now 69 years old and has had some health issues over the past few years. My parents recently moved to be closer to me, and I have found that with that also comes a lot of stress, anger and resentment. I have tried very hard to help him with things around the house and help him keep his emotions under control, but I typically leave more upset than when I arrived. He has become increasingly worse over the past year, calling family members every terrible name you can think of. He threatens to do hurtful things just out of spite, and he frequently has tantrums. We have had several sit-down discussions with him, but nothing ever changes, and he refuses to talk with a professional, as he does not see what he is doing as wrong. I sent him a message over the winter telling him that I needed to step away for a while because the hurt and stress that he was causing me was too much. I was trying to start a family with my husband, and I did not need the additional stress. This was met with more hurtful messages and his signing his emails, “Your former father.” I have started talking with him again, more to keep the peace for my mother, but I find it extremely difficult to be around him. I fear that one day he will be gone and I will regret not seeing him more now. I am constantly torn between being hurt by him now and the prospect of being hurt with regret when he is gone. At what point should I stop? -- Hurt Daughter in New Hampshire Dear Hurt Daughter: First, I would have him tested for dementia, as this can cause some of the behaviors you’re describing. But if that’s not the case, then we’re back to your question: When should you stop trying to have a relationship with him? Stop when to continue would only be toxic. You may be at that point now. He’s your father. You will always love him. And I am sure that deep down he will always love you. But he’s repeatedly shown himself unable and unwilling to have a close relationship with you. Take all the space you need to have a healthy life. Dear Annie: Having recently lost my loving husband, I have some thoughts that might help others as they face the process of grieving. The death of a loved one is a shattering event. Grief is a pressing weight. Friends voice their condolences, but their platitudes are little consolation. The long, lonely days, the silence, the solitary nights, the empty arms, the sadness -- it’s enveloping. You wish the doctor could prescribe a pill for it. As time wears on and thoughts settle into a more normal pattern, it is cathartic to put these thoughts and feelings on paper. Opening one’s heart and mind to the nonjudgmental paper allows one to vent. In writing, we can capture loved ones’ personalities and dreams. We relegate these memories to a special place in our hearts that we can visit, enjoy and leave, safely kept, for another time. Our life does not cease with the loss of a loved one. Life is for the living; it is to be lived for the purpose for which it was created. -- Voice of Experience Dear Voice of Experience: Thank you for this beautiful homage to love, grief and the healing power of writing. I am sorry for your loss.
HINTS FROM HELOISE BATTLING HEARTWORM DISEASE Dear Readers: “HEARTWORMS” -- the word itself is scary, but prevention and treatment are possible. Heartworm disease can result in lung damage and heart failure in dogs and cats. Symptoms? Coughing, tiredness, trouble breathing and weight loss. Prevention of heartworm is the cheaper, safer alternative to treatment. If you adopt a dog or cat from the shelter, have the animal tested for heartworm; lots of stray animals contract heartworm. The worms are spread through the bite of a mosquito. Prevention is either a shot that’s good for several months, a topical liquid applied to the skin or a monthly chew. Talk to your veterinarian about what’s best for your pet. Treatment is effective, but painful and expensive. Your vet will give a series of tests first to make sure your pet is healthy enough to start treatment. Multiple doctor visits likely will be required. People cannot contract heartworm disease. The worms don’t establish themselves in human hearts. For more information, visit www. heartwormsociety.org. -Heloise ONLINE ORDERING Dear Heloise: When ordering online, it’s important to check the company’s return policy. We neglected to do that recently, and even though the company sent the wrong size, we were not only responsible for return shipping, but the company has a 20 percent restocking fee. It was an expensive lesson to learn. -- Janet B., via email Call and speak to a representative or supervisor. They should be willing to work with you to resolve the issue. But yes, read the fine print first. -- Heloise

Bob Newhart gets a TV marathon; ‘Big Bang Theory’ ahead LOS ANGELES (AP) — In his trademark low-key way, Bob Newhart says he's pleased that his 1970s sitcom about a psychologist and his quirky patients and pals will mark its 45th anniversary with a TV marathon. But Newhart, who turned 88 earlier this month and still does standup gigs, can't resist cracking wise when asked if he'll watch the 84 back-to-back episodes of "The Bob Newhart Show" airing on the Decades channel from 1 p.m. EDT Saturday and ending 6 a.m. EDT Monday. "Well, I know the ending of most of them," he said, drolly. Decade's airing of the sitcom counted among TV's all-time best comedies falls on Emmy Awards weekend, which is ironic: The 142-episode "The Bob Newhart Show" received only four nominations and zero Emmys in its 1972-78 run on CBS. Two of those nods went to Suzanne Pleshette, who played witty wife Emily Hartley to Newhart's Dr. Robert "Bob" Hartley. But Newhart, a former accountant who became a comedy sensation with his 1960 album, "The ButtonDown Mind of Bob Newhart," received none for his role. Stand-up comedians who work in sitcoms don't tend to get respect for their performance, the genial Newhart said,
In this Sept. 10, 2016 file photo, Bob Newhart arrives at night one of the Creative Arts Emmy Awards at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. Newhart is looking forward to a TV marathon that will mark the 45th anniversary of his 1970s sitcom. But that doesn't mean he'll be binge-watching "The Bob Newhart Show" this weekend. As the droll comedian put it, he knows how most of the episodes end. The Decades channel will air 84 backto-back episodes of Newhart's sitcom starting Saturday, Sept. 16, 2017 and ending at Monday, Sept. 18. (Photo by Richard Shotwell/Invision/AP, File) with even Jerry Seinfeld failing to convert nominations to Emmys for his role on NBC's "Seinfeld." The general attitude, Newhart said is, "'That's just Bob being Bob, or just Jerry being Jerry. What's so hard about it?'
They think there's no acting involved, but there is." "I was always proud of the show" and his gifted co-stars, Newhart said, including Bill Daily and Peter Bonerz, and the late actors Jack Riley, Marcia Wallace and Pleshette. Newhart did earn three acting nominations for his 1980s sitcom "Newhart," and three more for his guest role as Arthur Jeffries, a former TV scientist known as Professor Proton, on "The Big Bang Theory." It brought him an Emmy in 2013. Newhart's 1961-62 NBC variety show, also titled "The Bob Newhart Show," fared even better in the awards stakes, winning a prestigious Peabody for Newhart and an Emmy for best humor program. It also earned "a pink slip" from the network, Newhart noted. He'll visit "Big Bang Theory" again this season, but trimmed his number of standup appearances after Ginny, his wife of 54 years "and counting," asked him to take it easy. But he's healthy, he said, and quitting gigs altogether isn't an option. "I have to do it. If you think of a funny routine, do you tell it to the dog? The dog just looks at you: 'What do you want from me?'" Newhart said. ——— http://www.bobnewhartofficial.com

By Jaqueline Bigar
DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Sept. 16, 2017: This year your personal life is more active. You come to terms with certain issues, and will deal with your anger through spiritual healing. You also become more verbal about these feelings at times. Many of you will move or make a change to your home in order to reflect your evolving life. If you are single, many people are drawn to you. Confirm before you get too involved that the person who makes your heart flutter is authentic. If you are attached, the two of you will only gain from taking special time together as a couple. Your bond becomes more solid as a result. LEO understands you very well. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Your childlike side emerges. You also have a practical project to complete. How you arrange your plans and what comes first is your decision. You can’t say “no” to either possibility. Consider finishing the project first with the goal of gaining more free time. Tonight: All smiles. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Your home can be your sanctuary, but it also is a place from which you want to entertain and enjoy your friends. Be spontaneous and host a get-together this weekend. Be aware of how fussy you can be about details pertaining to your domestic life. Tonight: Let it all happen. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Your need to express yourself can’t be held back. If someone asks for an opinion, you are more than ready to give it. If others express interest in what you are doing, you’ll open up and share. Make some time for a fall project like raking the leaves. Tonight: Make it easy and fun. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You possess a very dramatic quality that requires self-expression. Some of you dress a bit eccentric at times. Others verbalize their feelings in a unique way. Your choices might reveal the inner drama and attractive personality within yourself. Tonight: Make it your treat. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Your warm personality melts barriers. Others want to be more actively involved with you. Understand your limits. Think carefully before encouraging too many people to think that there is a deep connection between you; you have only so much time. Tonight: Go for what you want. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Your words have an impact, but the other party might not be sharing what he or she feels. Your curiosity will need to wait. Perhaps in the future you will want to approach a similar matter in a different way, as it could be more satisfactory for you. Tonight: Let off some steam at the gym. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You beam in much more of what you want. You’ll find others, especially a friend, to be highly responsive to your suggestions. A loved one supports you, which only adds to your happiness. You know what you want. What is stopping you? Tonight: Dance the night away. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might need to visit or touch base with an older relative. Try not to head into the office; you will be a lot better off and happier as a result. Note several people’s attempts to come in closer to chat. You must have magic on your side. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to come to terms with a change. You will flow through this transformation if you go along with the moment. You could gain a perspective that is unique and helps you relax. You’ll find someone’s outreach to be endearing. Tonight: Make a new choice. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Your ability to make choices and move in a new direction might be tested by a partner. Your willingness to go along with this person’s ideas could be more important than you realize. Be aware of what you have to offer. You can make a big difference. Tonight: Be a duo. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Others come toward you, and they might try to provoke a stronger reaction from you than usual. People simply want to know that you care and are willing to be flexible. One person could use anger or sarcasm to evoke a reaction. Just walk away, if need be. Tonight: Not alone. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You might want to slow down, despite others’ desire to energize you. You are likely to become irritated by someone’s efforts to evoke a certain response from you. Try to help this person verbalize his or her needs rather than act them out. Tonight: Relax with a close friend. BORN TODAY Musician B.B.

NASCAR THIS WEEK
The Daytona Beach News-Journal’s Godwin Kelly & Ken Willis have covered NASCAR for nearly 60 years combined. godwin.kelly@news-jrnl.com ken.willis@news-jrnl.com
RICHMOND
SPEED FREAKS A few questions we had to ask ourselves
THREE THINGS WE LEARNED
On the cusp of playoffs, who’s your favorite? GODSPEAK: For some reason, I like Kyle Larson’s chances. I don’t think Larson will overthink this. KEN’S CALL: Martin Truex Jr. has been the man all year, but that means nothing now. Mr. Hunch likes Kyle Busch.
QUESTIONS & AT T I T U D E Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers
What if tech inspectors determine the champ? That has to be the worstcase scenario. And it’s a potential problem that will be extremely difficult to address, but addressed it must be. From the outside, it seems the answer is one of two extremes: Develop a system that takes away any mechanical leeway whatsoever, which would take away a key component of racing history; or write a few basic rules and safety mandates, then let the teams “do their thing.”
Who’ll be the first four eliminated? GODSPEAK: Austin Dillon, Kasey Kahne, Ryan Blaney, Jamie McMurray KEN’S CALL: Kasey Kahne, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Austin Dillon ... and Jimmie Johnson!
Which non-winner has a chance?
C U P S TA N D I N G S 1. Martin Truex Jr. 2053 2. Kyle Larson 2033 3. Kyle Busch 2029 4. Brad Keselowski 2019 5. Jimmie Johnson 2017 6. Kevin Harvick 2015 7. Denny Hamlin 2013 8. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. 2010 9. Ryan Blaney 2008 10. Chase Elliott 2006 11. Ryan Newman 2005 12. Kurt Busch 2005 13. Kasey Kahne 2005 14. Austin Dillon 2005 15. Matt Kenseth 2005 16. Jamie McMurray 2003
Dale Earnhardt Jr. hits the pits at Richmond, where his playoff hopes ended. [CHEVY RACING/ALAN MARLER]
1. Junior apology
2. Champ clocked, crowned
Dale Earnhardt Jr. apologized to his fans after failing to make the NASCAR playoffs. “We believe in ourselves and we should have been locked in before we got here, but it wasn’t a great season, performance-wise, but we’ve got 10 to go,” he said, later mentioning Talladega.
3. ‘Encumbered’ stings
Martin Truex Jr. was on his way to victory at Richmond until a caution, just laps from the finish, jumbled the field. Truex wound up crashing after the restart. Aftewards, he was handed the regular-season title trophy. “I wish we could have got the trophy last weekend,” he said.
Joey Logano thought he made the playoffs on April 30 when he won at Richmond. His No. 22 Ford failed inspection and that victory was encumbered. He came up short at Richmond 2. “That’s the end of our championship run, but it’s not the end of our season,” he said.
— Godwin Kelly, godwin.kelly@news-jrnl.com
GODWIN’S PICKS FOR C H I CAG O L A N D WINNER: Martin Truex Jr. REST OF TOP 5: Kyle Larson, Kevin Harvick, Brad Keselowski, Kyle Busch FIRST ONE OUT: Aric Almirola DARK HORSE: Daniel Suarez DON’T BE SURPRISED IF: The regular-season champion continues his winning ways as the playoffs begin.
MOTOR MOUTHS PODCAST No ambulance chasers here, just a couple of motor mouths ... at playoff time
THREE THINGS TO WATCH 1. Breakthrough run Kyle Larson not only scored his fourth victory of the 2017 season (fifth career), but it was his first at a track that’s not two miles long. His previous four wins were at Michigan and Las Vegas. “Just having a blast this season,” he said. “Hopefully we can go on into the playoffs and make it through some rounds and hopefully get to Homestead, if Irma doesn’t wash it away, and go for a championship.”

FEUD OF THE WEEK MARTIN TRUEX JR. VS. DERRIKE COPE: Cope’s No. 15 Chevy tagged the wall, bringing out the final caution, which led to Truex losing the lead and crashing on the last lap. GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: I’ll let Truex explain: “Caution for a guy that shouldn't even be out there is kind of ridiculous,” he said. “I don't really know what to say. It's unfortunate the way the race ended.”
W H AT ’ S O N TA P CUP SERIES: Tales of the Turtles 400 SITE: Chicagoland Speedway (1.5-mile oval) TV SCHEDULE: Friday, practice (NBC Sports Network, 12:30 p.m.), qualifying (NBCSN, 6:30 p.m.). Saturday, practice (CNBC, 11:30 a.m. and NBCSN, 2 p.m.). Sunday, race (NBCSN, race coverage begins at 2:30 p.m.; green flag, 3:15 p.m.)
2. Playoff field The playoff field was finalized at Richmond on Saturday night. A total of 16 drivers, including three who got in on points, will begin the championship battle at Chicagoland Speedway this week. Martin Truex Jr. starts the postseason with 53 playoff points, 20 more than secondplace Larson. Truex will carry those 53 points through the first nine races of the 10-race playoff. Jamie McMurray is ranked 16th.
Regulars to this page know we have an occasional mean streak that makes us pull for a driver to win the championship without winning a race. Three chances this year, and of the three you gotta like Matt Kenseth. Mild Matt needs some love from the racing gods, and since his ’03 championship was a catalyst for the advent of playoffs, it would be a fun development.
Kyle Larson celebrates his fourth win of the 2017 season after scoring his first win on a track of less than two miles long. [CHEVY RACING/TOM COPELAND]
3. Kenseth’s last ride NBC announcer Jeff Burton, who was a race driver before turning microphone jockey, waxed poetic about Matt Kenseth’s situation. “Remember he does not have a ride for next year,” Burton said. “Imagine you worked at your job for 45
years, and somebody walks up to you and says, ‘Hey, you don’t have a job next year.’ Imagine how that makes you feel. He wants to prove to the world and himself he can do it.”
