Westfield, Southwick to remember those lost in Sept. 11 attacks By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD/SOUTHWICK—City officials and residents will be coming out next week to honor those who lost their lives during the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11. In Westfield, the city’s fire department will hold its annual ceremony of remembrance on Broad Street and Mayor Brian Sullivan will be holding a wreath-laying ceremony at the 9/11 Monument on North Elm Street, while the Southwick Fire Department will be holding their annual remembrance ceremony in Southwick, all on Sept. 11. And on Sept. 10, Westfield resident Ron Cross will be making a 16-mile walk within the city in memory of those who died. For Cross, the walk is his second annual, with the first going 15 miles last year. This year it will go 16 miles, with each mile representing a year from the tragedy. According to Cross, the 16-mile walk will be in remembrance of the those who died in the attacks, including Dan Trant, Brian Murphy and Tara Creamer Westfield, and Melissa Harrington from West Springfield. “It’s mainly for the local victims but it is to remember all,” Cross said. “All the families, all the first responders. I made a vow and a promise to keep their spirits alive and that’s how I’m going to do it.” He added, “it’s my own personal way, the core message is to never forget and to keep their spirits alive.” Cross said that anyone is invited to walk along with him for whatever amount of distance they would like, and no donations are See Sept. 11, Page 7

Westfield District Court Clerk Magistrate retiring after nearly 27 years By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD–The Westfield District Court’s clerk-magistrate will be retiring Sept. 5, after nearly 27 years serving in the role. Clerk-magistrate Carol Kantany-Casartello is set to retire Tuesday, joining two other Westfield District Court clerkmagistrate employees who retired on Sept. 1. Kantany-Casartello leaves with nearly 27 years of experience in the position and about 39 years of experience working in law. “I have very mixed feelings about leaving,” KantanyCasartello said. “Westfield District Court is a very unique and effective court. It’s a great honor to work here, especially with staff in all areas that work here.” Kantany-Casartello said that part of the pleasure of working at Westfield District Court is working alongside Westfield District Court’s First Judge Philip A. Contant. Both remarked that they worked together as a team during their time together. “We’ve had a real genuine
partnership in this court, the two of us, over the last 25 years,” Contant said. According to Contant, Kantany-Casartello was the model of public service during the time she has served. “I really think she’s one of the best clerk-magistrates in the entire state and is well-respected in the entire state,” he said. “It’s going to be very traumatic for me to lose her after all these years,” he added. “She is very wise in dealings that come up. I never worried about decisions or judgments she would make.” Kantany-Casartello, who earned three degrees, including her Juris Doctor at Hofstra University School of Law and her LL.M in American Banking Studies at Boston University School of Law, began her legal career as a Hampden County District Attorney in 1978. She left that position for private practice at Dusel, Murphy and Fennell in 1988. According to KantanyCasartello, while in private practice she said she came to miss the See Magistrate, Page 3 Westfield District Court clerkmagistrate Carol KantanyCasartello (L) with first-assistant clerkmagistrate Nathan A.

Neither of the officers have life threatening injuries and Springfield Rd was reopened after about an hour. We will continue to follow this and bring you the latest as more becomes available.
Police urge to lock vehicles after recent reported break-ins By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—After a recent spate of reported break-ins into motor vehicles in the city, Westfield Police urge residents to remember to lock their vehicles. On the mornings of Thursday, Aug. 31 and Friday, Sept. 1, police received at least nine reports of vehicles allegedly being broken into and entered. A majority of the instances occurred in the Springdale Road and Dry Bridge Road area, according to Westfield Police Capt. Michael McCabe. Also according to McCabe, the vehicles involved were unlocked. McCabe said that residents are urged to take steps in order to prevent themselves from becoming a victim, as well. “In no way are we blaming victims for being victimized,” he said, “but we are asking you to lock your doors.” McCabe said that some items that were reported missing during the alleged break-ins have included small amounts of money, wallets, pepper spray and electronics. Police received reports of four incidents on the morning of Aug. 31, with at least another five that were reported on the morning of Sept. 1. Some of the incidents involved one car, others involved more. The locations of the incidents included Deepwoods Drive, Lynnwood Drive, Springdale Road, Dry Bridge Road, Holyoke Road and Putnam Drive.

Giant puppet takes on worries stuffed into ‘gloom box’ By MORGAN LEE Associated Press SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — High anxiety about White House politics, hurricane flooding and even the threat of nuclear war with North Korea is adding an extra spark to the annual burning of a giant, ghostly marionette that serves as an effigy to gloom and doom. The ritual burning of Zozobra was attracting tens of thousands of revelers Friday to a Santa Fe city park for a mixture of wholesome and ghoulish fun. Inside the six-story puppet are reams of crumpled, handwritten notes about recent troubles and travails that people hope to leave behind. Worries this year included a combustible mix of disenchantment with politics and preoccupation over natural and manmade disasters. In preparation for the burning, Holly Garcia, a 39-year-old homemaker stuffed several notes into a slotted “gloom box” at a shopping center. The first was about a hospitalized sister and a brother recovering from brain surgery. Then came a note about the U.S. president, and a hand-scrawled prayer for friends and former neighbors besieged by floods in League City, Texas — a community sandwiched between Houston and the Gulf of Mexico.
“I put down, ‘Get rid of Donald Trump!’” said Garcia, while still counting her blessings. “I’m very blessed personally, my immediate family.” Yinka Adeniji, a 40-year-old technology consultant, said he wanted to join others in washing away all internal feelings of bad will — and also perhaps get rid of an inept U.S. political system and start from scratch. “I think it’s going to take a lot more than Zozobra,” he said. “We’re a country that doesn’t want to care for its people.” The invention of Will Shuster — a painter from Philadelphia who migrated to the Southwest — Zozobra was first built and ignited in 1924, adding a madcap celebration to a Santa Fe’s weeklong community “fiestas” that include historic and religious processions. The festival’s name was derived from a Spanish word for anguish. Modern pyrotechnics have transformed the nighttime burning, now preceded by hours of live music and performances on an adjacent stage. A team of a dozen puppeteers heaves on cords to flex the groaning marionette’s arms, head and jaw. The spectacle appeals to people’s “better angels” in a year marked by disaster and political upheaval, said Ray Sandoval, who organizes Zozobra for the local Kiwanis Club to raise money for youth charities.

public service aspect of her previous position. “I really loved being an assistant district attorney,” she said. She was made aware of the vacant clerk-magistrate position in Westfield and she was able to garner herself the position after a rigorous process that included interviews, reviews and hearings, eventually being sworn in as clerkmagistrate of the Westfield District Court on Nov. 24, 1992, by Gov. William Weld. This entire career trajectory could have been different though, if Kantany-Casartello followed one of her first passions. “I wanted to be an English teacher,” Kantany-Casartello, who graduated with a bachelors of arts in English from UMass, said. However, after talking with the late Frank H. Freedman, who held positions including mayor of Springfield and Chief Judge for the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, she said that she decided to pursue law school. The position being left vacant with KantanyCasartello’s retirement will be filled by current-first assistant clerk-magistrate for the Westfield District Court Nathan A. Byrnes. Byrnes, a Westfield resident, will serve as acting clerk-magistrate, and previously practiced as a lawyer in private practice from 1998 to 2005, before becoming first assistant clerk-magistrate at Westfield District Court in February 2005. Byrnes said that KantanyCasartello has set an example for him professionally, including how to treat people with dignity and respect. “Can’t imagine working for a better role model,” he said. “Hopefully I just carry on the example that she set.” In addition to KantanyCasartello’s retirement, the Westfield District Court also had two other employees retiring from the clerk-magistrate’s office.

US: Another health attack on diplomats in Cuba last month By JOSH LEDERMAN Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Mysterious incidents affecting the health of American diplomats in Cuba continued as recently as August, the United States said Friday, despite earlier U.S. assessments that the attacks had long stopped. The U.S. increased its tally of government personnel affected to 19. The new U.S. disclosures came the same day that the union representing American diplomats said mild traumatic brain injury was among the diagnoses given to diplomats victimized in the attacks. In the most detailed account of the symptoms to date, the American Foreign Service Association said permanent hearing loss was another diagnosis, and that additional symptoms had included brain swelling, severe headaches, loss of balance and "cognitive disruption." At the State Department, spokeswoman Heather Nauert said the U.S. was continually revising its assessments of the scope of the attacks as new information was obtained. She said the investigation had not been completed. "We can confirm another incident which occurred last month and is now part of the investigation," Nauert said. U.S. officials had previously said that the attacks, initially believed to be caused by a potential covert sonic device, had started in fall 2016 and continued until spring 2017. Last week, Nauert had said at least 16 Americans associated with the U.S. Embassy in Havana had been affected, but that the "incidents" were no longer occurring. The evolving U.S. assessment indicated investigators were still far off from any thorough understanding of what transpired in the attacks, described by the U.S. as unprecedented. As the bizarre saga has unfolded, the U.S. has encouraged its diplomats to report any strange physical sensations. So it's unclear whether some symptoms being attributed to the attacks might actually be unrelated. Still, the fact there was an incident as recently as August suggested the attacks likely continued long after the U.S. government became aware of them and ostensibly raised the issue with the Cuban government, creating even more uncertainty about the timeline and who was responsible. Notably, the U.S. has avoided accusing Cuba's government of being behind the attacks. The U.S. did expel two Cuban diplomats, but the State Department emphasized that was in protest of the Cubans' failure to protect the safety of American diplomats while on their soil, not an indication the U.S. felt that Havana masterminded it. U.S. investigators have been searching to identify a device that could have harmed the health of the diplomats, believed to have been attacked in their homes in Havana, but officials have said no device had been found. One of the diplomats affected had arrived over the summer of 2017 to work at the U.S. Embassy and was later diagnosed with concussion-like symptoms, said a U.S. official, who declined to specify the symptoms that led the diplomat to report the situation. And in Canada, a government official said that the Canadian government had first learned in March 2017 that one of its citizens was affected. Ottawa had previously confirmed that at least one Canadian diplomat was involved, but had not revealed any timeline for when it occurred or came to light. Both the U.S. and Canadian officials demanded anonymity because they weren't authorized to comment publicly. It's unclear whether Canadians were intentionally targeted or whether there could have been collateral damage from an attack aimed at Americans, given that diplomats from various countries often live in the same areas of a foreign capital. U.S. officials have said the Americans were targeted in their homes in Havana, not in the Embassy. Canadian officials have been actively working with U.S. and Cuban authorities to ascertain the cause. A Cuban attack deliberately targeting Canadians would be even more confounding, given that Canada — unlike the U.S. — has long had friendly ties to Cuba. The American Foreign Service Association, in describing the damage to diplomats' health, said it had met with or spoken to 10 diplomats affected, but did not specify how many of the 10 had been diagnosed with hearing loss or with mild traumatic brain injury, commonly called a concussion. Yet the confirmation that at least some diplomats suffered brain injury suggested the attacks caused more serious damage than the hearing-related complaints that were initially reported. "We can't rule out new cases as medical professionals continue to evaluate members of the embassy community," Nauert said. She added that the embassy has a medical officer and has been consistently providing care to those who have reported incidents. Asked for further details about what the U.S. had learned about the cause or culprit in the attacks, the State Department said it had no more information to share. Traumatic brain injury, or TBI, typically results from a bump, jolt or other external force that disrupts normal brain functioning, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Short- and long-term effects can include changes to memory and reasoning, sight and balance, language abilities and emotions. Not all traumatic brain injuries are the same. Doctors evaluate patients using various clinical metrics such as the Glasgow Coma Scale, in which a numerical score is used to classify TBIs as mild, moderate or severe. "AFSA strongly encourages the Department of State and the U.S. Government to do everything possible to provide appropriate care for those affected, and to work to ensure that these incidents cease and are not repeated," the union said in a statement.
AP source: Mueller team has draft letter on Comey firing By JONATHAN LEMIRE and ERIC TUCKER Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Special counsel Robert Mueller's team of investigators is in possession of a letter drafted by President Donald Trump and an aide, but never sent, that lays out a rationale for firing FBI Director James Comey, according to a person familiar with the investigation. The letter was written in the days before the May 9 firing of Comey, but was held after objections from the president's lawyer and others, according to two other people familiar with the process who were not authorized to discuss it publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. On that day, the White House released a different letter announcing Comey's firing, one signed by Deputy Attorney General Attorney Rod Rosenstein that cited the handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation as a basis for Comey's dismissal. Trump had been fuming about Comey for weeks, upset that he would not say publicly that the president was not under investigation, which Trump said Comey had assured him privately. That was in the earlier letter and was part of the president's rationale for firing Comey. It was later excised — only to be partially restored in the final letter at Trump's behest. The earlier letter could serve as key evidence to Mueller's team, which is now investigating whether Trump fired Comey to impede the FBI investigation into his campaign associates' ties to Russia. The White House has said Trump was acting on the Justice Department's recommendation when he fired Comey, though the president said in a television interview days later that he was thinking of "the Russia thing" when he made the move and had planned to fire "regardless of recommendation." The new letter, which was first reported by The New York Times, could provide additional context on Trump's thinking and motive as he prepared to oust Comey. The Justice Department turned the letter over to Mueller's team, according

(AP Photo/Andrew Harnik, File) to a person who was not authorized to publicly discuss the situation and spoke on condition of anonymity. A statement from the Justice Department said the department had been fully cooperative with Mueller's investigation and would continue to do so. One week after Comey was fired, Rosenstein appointed Mueller as special counsel to oversee an investigation into potential coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia. That investigation, which had been overseen by Comey, is also looking into the financial dealings of several Trump associates. During a May weekend at the president's New Jersey golf club, Trump asked White House aide Stephen Miller to draft a letter outlining a case for Comey's firing, according to two people familiar with the situation. But the letter, which contained a rationale for the dismissal, was not sent after White House counsel Don McGahn objected, thinking some of its contents were problematic, according to one of the people familiar with the letter. The Associated Press has not reviewed the letter. Rosenstein, in a statement to
Trump to nominate Oklahoma congressman to lead NASA WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says President Donald Trump plans to nominate an Oklahoma congressman to serve as the next administrator of NASA. Trump on Friday announced his pick of Republican Rep. Jim Bridenstine to lead the nation’s space agency. The congressman is a pilot in the U.S. Navy Reserve and a former executive director of the Tulsa Air and Space Museum and Planetarium. He was elected to Congress in 2012 and currently serves on House Armed Services Committee and the Science, Space and Technology Committee. If confirmed by the Senate, Bridenstine would play a key role in Trump’s plans to add human exploration of Mars to NASA’s mission. NASA is aiming for astronauts on Mars sometime in the 2030s.
Congress, has said that he learned on May 8 of Trump's plans to fire Comey, and that he agreed with the decision. He has said that in one of his first conversations with Attorney General Jeff Sessions, they discussed the need for new leadership at the FBI. He wrote a memo to Sessions summarizing his concerns about the FBI director's performance and said he finalized it the next day and presented it to Sessions. He said he did not intend for his memo to be a "statement of reasons to justify a for-cause termination," and that it was "not a survey of FBI morale or performance." Miller, the firebrand aide who helped design Trump's travel ban and hardline immigration policies, had become a trusted adviser to the president during the campaign and remained in his inner circle even after fellow nationalist and chief strategist Steve Bannon began to fall from the president's favor. Instead of using the directive Miller penned, a separate letter written by Rosenstein and focused on Comey's handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server was sent to the FBI director when he was dismissed.

on two more layers. Having already completed the intersection of Feeding Hills Road and Foster Road, Baltazar was seen starting the paving process on the intersection of Feeding Hills Road and Hudson Drive. Brown is satisfied that the first layer of paving was able to be finished just in time when there would be an uptick in traffic on Feeding Hills Road. “At least it makes a rideable surface,” said Brown. “It helps expedite traffic moving through the work zone.” As for the rest of the project, Baltazar still needs to construct sidewalks, do
some re-grading, and set up turn signals. Brown said that he expects Baltazar to be working on this project until the heavy snow hits as the contract is up before the end of the calendar year in December. The Westfield News last reported on this project June 14 when Baltazar completed the majority of the utility work and began to reconstruct Feeding Hills Road and the sidewalks. Baltazar started construction this past March and Mass DOT (Department of Transportation) is overseeing and paying for the $3.97 million project. Southwick residents

He said he hopes to open with a prayer. The walk will start at 8:46 a.m., he said, when the first tower was struck. From there, Cross said he will traverse to Stanley Park’s Carillon Tower, where he will convene for two moments of peace at 9:59 a.m. and 10:28 a.m., the times of each tower falling. From Stanley Park, Cross said that he will then head to the Westfield Police Department on Washington Street to honor officers.

When it comes to 21st century multimedia platforms, “hyper local” is a term you hear a lot. It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newpapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore. But, day in and day out, The Westfield News provides consistant coverage of the stories you need to know about, that are important to your city, town, neighborhood and home.

‘Hall’ tabs ’17 inductees WESTFIELD – Westfield State University will induct five individuals into the Westfield State University Athletic Hall of Fame on October 13, and the hall will also recognize two “Teams of Distinction” in the 1950-51 men’s basketball team and the 1974 men’s soccer team. Women’s basketball standout Kristen (Schmaelzle) Lavelle ’00, men’s soccer forward Andrew Lewis ’02, football running back Shawn Lyman ’02, softball pitcher Leah (Peterson) Holmes ’06 and track and field AllAmerican David Bergeron ’07 comprise the 22nd class to be inducted to the Hall of Fame. The “Team of Distinction” recognition is the newest honor conveyed by the hall of fame. “As a committee, we felt it was important to have a mechanism to honor some of the great teams in the history of Westfield State Athletics,”
said Dick Lenfest, director of athletics. “The Hall of Fame committee has long honored our standout alumni, and those who are some of our most ardent supporters of Owls’ athletics.” The 1974 men’s soccer team advanced to the NCAA Final Four and finished third in the nation. Coached by John Kurty, the team was the first Owls’ team to advance to an NCAA final four and the team’s finish was the highest ever for a Westfield State team. Six players from the 1974 team have been selected for the WSUAHOF as individuals. The 1950-51 men’s basketball team finished with a record of 15 wins and just 2 losses, a remarkable performance for a team considered to be the first “official” men’s varsity basketball team at the University for which records were kept. Coached by Edward Kosior, the team’s .882 winning percentage has
stood as a school record for 67 years – the full history of the Owls program! Teams of distinction must be a minimum of 20 years removed from the season of merit, and are recognized based on criteria that includes historically significant accomplishments within the scope of the Owls’ athletics program and were conference champions, regional or national qualifiers, produced a record-setting season, or succeeded with extraordinary circumstances. Former student-athletes selected to the Hall of Fame must have been an Alumnus or Alumna for a minimum of ten years, and are selected based on their achievement in athletics, acquisition of athletic honors before and after graduation, as well as carry over values acquired from participation in the athletic programs offered at Westfield State University.
The Gateway Gators boys’ soccer team warms up for Thursday’s practice.
SHAWN LYMAN Lyman was an honorable mention All-American in 2001, a historic season in which his football team was an undefeated 10-0 in the regular season and advanced to the NCAA Playoffs for the first (and only) time in program history. He set single season records with 1,483 rushing yards, 14 rushing touchdowns and 84 points scored that season.
LEAH PETERSON
ors. KRISTEN LAVELLE Kristen (Schmaelzle) Lavelle totaled 1,161 Points and 659 Rebounds for the Owls highly successful women’s basketball program. She set school records for career field goal percentage and single season field goal percentage, and played on three 20-win teams. ANDREW LEWIS
DAVID BERGERON David Bergeron ’07 was a two-time All-American in the javelin. Bergeron saved his best for the final throw of his collegiate career, launching the javelin a then-school record of 208 feet at the NCAA Division III national outdoor track and field championships to finish second in the nation. Bergeron placed sixth in the nation the previous season among many hon-
Lewis was a three-time allconference midfielder on the Owls strong teams of the late 1990’s. He helped the Owls to one ECAC tournament appearance, and as a senior led the Owls to a conference title and an NCAA tournament appearance. He ranks as one of the top three scorers in the last 30 years at Westfield State.
Leah Holmes Peterson was named the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference player of the year in 2005. She was a three-time all-conference selection as a pitcher, compiling 29 wins and 46 complete games, and regularly helping her own cause at the plate, where she was a .319 career hitter as well. The induction ceremony and dinner will be held at the Scanlon Banquet Hall on the Westfield State campus on Friday, October 13, 2017, with a cocktail hour from 6-7 p.m., followed by the dinner and induction ceremony. Tickets for the dinner are $55 and must be purchased in advance.

WESTFIELD- Westfield State University’s Department of Communication and Division of Institutional Advancement will hold the second annual Henry Wefing Memorial Golf Classic, the “Wef,” on Friday, September 8 at 10 a.m. at Tekoa Country Club in Westfield. Proceeds from the fundraiser will benefit the Henry Wefing Journalism Scholarship Fund. The late Dr. Wefing began teaching at Westfield State University’s Department of Communication in 1985, specializing in journalism and writing courses. He was also seen regularly tending to a garden located outside of the university’s Horace Mann Center. Dr. Wefing created the garden in 2007 and donated all of the vegetables and herbs he grew to the Westfield Food Pantry. He passed away in May 2015. Since 2016, the Henry Wefing Journalism Scholarship has been awarded annually. As the fund grows, there are plans to increase the number of scholarships awarded. Nearly 60 people attended last year’s inaugural event, including members of the Wefing family. "The ‘Wef’ tournament brings together colleagues, alumni, students, and Henry Wefing's family and friends to enjoy a game Henry loved and to raise funds for students pursuing a career in journalism, which Henry taught and revered as the essential foundation of a democracy," said Dr. Thomas Gardner, professor of Communication. Golfers must register online prior to the tournament at https://www.westfieldalumni.org/ events/upcoming-events/wefinggolf by Tuesday, September 5. The cost to participate is $350 for a foursome, $90 for individual players, and $80 for Westfield State students. Tickets include 18 holes of golf, lunch, and a post-tournament reception. Tickets are available for those who would like to attend the dinner reception for only $30 and there are also sponsorship opportunities at various different levels. Tekoa Country Club is located on 459 Russell Road in Westfield. For more information, contact Suzanne Boniface, adjunct professor of Communication, at 413-478-2652 or sboniface@westfield.ma.edu. Those who cannot attend, but still wish to donate, can do so by visiting https://www.westfieldalumni.org/events/upcoming-events/wefinggolf. ——— For more information on Westfield State University, visit www.westfield.ma.edu, www.twitter.com/westfieldstate, or https://www.facebook.com/WestfieldStateUniversity.

Dear Annie By ANNIE LANE
Who Let the Dogs In? Dear Annie: After 30 years of living with my wife and her dogs, we divorced 10 years ago. We never assumed that our pets were welcome where ever we were. When we went to visit, we left our dogs at home. Or if we were going for an overnight visit, we boarded them at our veterinary’s facility. I have chosen not to have animals in my home now, and I keep it very clean. I have an issue with some of my friends and family who show up with their dogs when they come to visit. I don’t dislike dogs, but these visitors act as if it’s no big deal if their dog sheds everywhere, or goes around marking his territory on my carpet and furniture. The last straw was when good friends showed up with their dog who immediately began sniffing out his new “territory.” He soon did his business on my new bedroom carpet. When I insisted they leave the dog outside, they acted insulted. Their dog riled up my neighbor’s dog, and then scratched up my newly painted front door trying to get back in. I’ve heard others say they’ve had the same issue with friends and family who show up with their pets. I’ve given up on trying to hint around, and have started saying in no uncertain terms, “You are welcome in my home, but your dog is not.” The response is usually one of indignation, as if I’m being rude. Am I? -No-Animal House Dear No-Animal House: You’re not being rude. You’re simply being honest, which is better than being passive-aggressive. It’s common courtesy to ask permission before bringing a pet along when you’re going to be staying in someone else’s home. And if that pet makes messes, it’s on the owner to clean up and cover any costs. While some people love having dogs around (I am one of them), not everyone does, and that’s OK. A man’s home is his castle, and he gets to decide whether or not it’s pet-friendly. Dear Annie: I am a frequent reader of your column and generally find your advice brilliant. However, in the recent column with the letter from “Washing Well,” I think you missed the best answer for which method of washing dishes causes the least harm to the environment. If your home has a dishwasher that is less than 15 years old, if you scrape plates into the trash (no rinsing) and if you wait until the dishwasher is full before you run it, you will use less than 5 gallons of water for the entire load. Very few people can wash a full load of dishes by hand with less water, no matter how frugal. Also, remember it is not only the use of water but also the use of energy to heat the water that takes a toll on our environment. I am an environmental science professor and textbook author and these are exactly the difficult issues we deal with in my field every day. But they are not as tough as the issues you deal with. -- Andy F. Dear Andy F.: I did not realize just how environmentally friendly dishwashers were, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. Thank you, professor, for the lesson. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators. com.

HINTS FROM HELOISE YOUR LAST REQUESTS Dear Heloise: As an attorney, I handle a lot of wills and estate issues. Believe me, it would be so much easier for families if the deceased would have made out a proper will with an attorney, outlining who gets what. It would certainly save a number of family feuds. Handwritten wills do not always stand up in court, and no one can vouch whether the person was sober and in his or her right mind when the will was made. An attorney can guide a client and advise him or her on what is legal and what is not. -- James L., York, Pa. CRUISE CONCERNS Dear Heloise: My fiance and I plan on a cruise for our honeymoon, but I have a few health concerns. How do we know that our ship will be clean and safe? -- Hannah and Jake, Blaine, Minn. Hannah and Jake, most cruise lines are very fastidious when it comes to sanitation and cleanliness. There are separate freezers and storage areas for chicken, seafood, bread and vegetables, and those storage areas are cleaned regularly. They attend to the passengers’ rooms with the same care they give their food storage and preparation, so don’t worry -- enjoy your honeymoon! -Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O.

On The Tube Mayweather-McGregor is a pay-per-view smash By TIM DAHLBERG AP Sports Writer LAS VEGAS (AP) — Conor McGregor's improbable challenge of Floyd Mayweather Jr. was a hit at the box office and could end up the biggest pay-per-view ever, with an estimated 50 million people watching in the United States alone. Preliminary figures released by Showtime PPV on Friday showed the fight was tracking in the "mid to high" 4 million range, threatening the 4.6 million record set by Mayweather's 2015 fight with Manny Pacquiao. Showtime's Stephen Espinoza said the number will likely rise some as more firm figures come in. "It's a little soon to be predicting a record," said Espinoza, who heads sports for Showtime. "But the record is definitely within reach." Estimates vary, but if an average of 10 people watched each pay-per-view the total audience for Saturday's fight in the US could reach 50 million people, or nearly one in six Americans. "I'd absolutely call this a complete success," Espinoza said. "This was a fight that had massive expectations in both the fight itself and the business results. It lived up to those expectations in every respect." At $99.95 a buy, the pay-per-view
generated at least $450 million in revenue on domestic television alone, money from which each fighter gets an undisclosed percentage. Mayweather estimated after the fight he would make $300350 million, while McGregor said his take would be around $100 million. Though the fight suffered some at the box office because of extremely high ticket prices, it hit the kind of numbers on pay-per-view that promoters were hoping for. When added all together the fight could generate some $600 million in total revenue, which would be along the lines of the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight. Mayweather stopped McGregor in the 10th round, the first time he has had a real stoppage in nearly a decade. But McGregor's performance also won some applause, as he boxed better in his first boxing match as a pro than many thought he would. Assuming the preliminary estimates hold up, Mayweather will have participated in the top four pay-per-view events of all time. His fight with Oscar De La Hoya in 2007 sold 2.4 million pay-perviews, and his 2014 fight with Canelo Alvarez sold 2.2 million. Espinoza said he should know by next week whether the fight will end up No. 1 or No. 2 on the all-time list. But he said the early estimates were lower than what the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight ended up
to be, and that this would likely go higher, too. "There could be a good amount of growth between the initial numbers and where we eventually end up," Espinoza said. The pay-per-view numbers include streaming on the Showtime and UFC apps as well as cable and satellite television buys. The fight was held up briefly because of some streaming issues, but Espinoza said reports of widespread problems with the online feed were overblown. "We were particularly pleased with the digital streaming aspect," he said. "It was our first venture going direct to consumers on Showtime and we were thrilled. We generated over four times the buys we had expected online." There were also reports of several million illegal streams of the fight and Espinoza said Showtime's anti-piracy technicians saw more illegal streams than any previous fight. But he said the nature of the fight meant groups of people gathered to watch it, and that most bought it legitimately to be guaranteed the best possible feed. "We knew we had a massive event with huge interest," he said. "And we knew a huge amount of people were going to be watching, including some who watched illegally."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Sept. 2, 2017: This year you might assume a very conservative position about an issue, yet on another issue you could become very liberal. Those around you who try to classify you might find that they experience confusion. Be willing to take a risk and greet life with more enthusiasm if single. Something better seems to be around the corner, so avoid getting hooked up with anyone you feel isn’t nearly perfect for you. If attached, treat your sweetie as if he or she were your best friend as well as lover. You will see that your bond easily falls into place and continues with its flow. AQUARIUS finds you overwhelming at times. ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You might be more volatile than you realize. You are likely to stun others with your words, thoughts and actions. You have a unique way that shakes up the status quo. Don’t push a loved one too far. Tonight: Getting into the moment with friends. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Reach out to others at a distance. You will enjoy catching up on their news. Your perceptions could change considerably and open you up to new views. The unexpected marks a problem. Try not to react but to just think about what is happening. Tonight: Out enjoying the moment. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You could be wanting to relate on a one-on-one level with a key person in your life. Make a call and get together for a meal and a chat. If living with the person, take advantage of the moment for a heart-to-heart chat when it appears. Tonight: Indulge a loved one, yet be prepared for the unexpected. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You could be in the mood to defer to those around you. You have a certain project in mind to complete. An older friend or loved one could prove to be most unpredictable. Recognize what happens when you allow this person to take a big role in your plans. Tonight: Go along with others’ desires. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You have a lot to do and handle. Focus on one item at a time, and you will be quite pleased with the end results. Your attention means a lot to those around you. You draw a new amount of energy from a loved one’s attention. You don’t always need to be on the same page. Tonight: Listen to suggestions first. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Defer to others and listen to what is being shared. You have very little energy for frivolous activities. A surprise turn of events could have you shaking your head. Unleash your imagination as you opt for a more workable situation. Avoid a power play as much as you can. Tonight: Don’t worry about the fact that it is Saturday night. Instead, slow down and relax. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Your focus on your priorities feels appropriate considering how much you have had on your plate. Over the weekend you can do some thinking about family and your personal time. Decide where your efforts are coming from. Tonight: At home. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Start up conversations and be a listener as well. You need to hear where others are coming from and decide how involved you want to be. The unexpected occurs involving a daily matter. Slow down and take time to have an important conversation. Tonight: Adapt plans to the moment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Be aware of the costs of handling a personal matter and moving forward. You do want to make a sound decision as to what is best for you. The unexpected pours through your love life. If single, you could meet someone who knocks your socks off. Tonight: Be naughty and nice. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You might try to get others to go your way. You might decide that a mini-revolution is occurring on the home front. Avoid getting overly concerned about someone’s anger toward you. Actually, you might be the party this person seems to be angry with, but in essence the anger started a long time ago under similar circumstances. Tonight: Treat a loved one or friend to dinner out. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH For a good part of the day you could feel less than great when dealing with others. Naturally this period starts when you wake up and lasts through the earlier part of the day. Later on, you will suddenly feel energized as if you just came back from a vacation or woke up from an unusually restful sleep. Tonight: As you like it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Use the morning to the max. You have a lot of ground to cover - and you will. You enjoy your interactions with friends and people you loosely associate with. A conversation that starts out of the blue could be enlightening. Later today, you might want to get some extra R and R or go off by yourself to follow through on a special project. Tonight: No wild parties for you. Try to be a little more restrained. BORN TODAY Actress Salma Hayek (1966), lawyer Robert Shapiro (1942), actor Keanu Reeves (1964)

NASCAR THIS WEEK SPEED FREAKS A few questions we had to ask ourselves What ‘throwback’ would you like to see Darlington include next time? GODSPEAK: How about an old-timers race with lowpowered cars? That would be exciting. KEN’S CALL: Bring in some old non-stars for a weekend of autographs, etc. — Musgrave, Grissom, Marcis, Benson ...
OFF-WEEK
THREE THINGS WE LEARNED
C U P S TA N D I N G S 1. Martin Truex Jr. 2. Kyle Busch 3. Kyle Larson 4. Kevin Harvick 5. Denny Hamlin 6. Brad Keselowski 7. Chase Elliott 8. Matt Kenseth 9. Jamie McMurray 10. Clint Bowyer
Daniel Craig, here playing James Bond, is part of the “Logan Lucky” cast. [SONY
1. ‘Logan’ fills void There was no NASCAR Cup Series race last weekend, but there was a stock-car movie to attend. “Logan Lucky” opened around the country and has enjoyed favorable reviews. It gets a 93 percent on the "Tomatometer." Good job on that accent, Daniel Craig (James Bond).
MOTOR MOUTHS PODCAST From off-week around the house to throwback week at Darlington. No retro paint schemes here, but plenty of retro chatter. Tune in online at www.news-journalonline. com/daytonamotormouths
Why aren’t we freaked out by the Hendrick slide?
This could be trouble for Aric Almirola. Various news outlets have reported that Darrell Wallace Jr., known as Bubba Wallace to many, may be in line to take the wheel of No.
How?
Two of NASCAR’s brightest young stars, Chase Elliott and Ryan Blaney, made the most of their week off. They took a trip to Amsterdam to unwind from the rigors of Cup Series racing. Oh, the stories we will NEVER hear from that road trip.
— Godwin Kelly, godwin. kelly@news-jrnl.com
FEUD OF THE WEEK
43 Richard Petty Motorsports Ford in 2018. Wallace subbed for an injured Almirola this season.
3. Bachelors party
THREE THINGS TO WATCH
GODWIN’S PICKS F O R DA R L I N GT O N WINNER: Matt Kenseth REST OF TOP 5: Martin Truex Jr., Erik Jones, Kevin Harvick, Jimmie Johnson FIRST ONE OUT: Trevor Bayne DARK HORSE: Dale Earnhardt Jr. DON’T BE SURPRISED IF: Kenseth pulls this win out of his hat and makes the playoffs.
Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers
Well, yes, Elliott has yet to get that first Cup Series win, but at seventh in the standings, he continues to show decent consistency (and consistent decency, for that matter) and can still make the playoffs. Johnson has been strangely mediocre-toslow lately, but does have those three wins. Kahne, gone after this year, is in the playoffs with his surprise Brickyard win. And Junior? It shouldn’t be a surprise that he never got up to speed, given all the distractions and future considerations.

2. Bubba’s ride? 951 850 845 824 753 728 711 703 700 642
QUESTIONS & AT T I T U D E
Because there are wee bits of silver lining in those clouds. Yes, considering how Hendrick Motorsports has long been NASCAR’s gold standard, it’s shocking when you scan the current standings and see where the four drivers are sitting: 7. Chase Elliott; 11. Jimmie Johnson; 20. Kasey Kahne; 22. Junior Earnhardt. There was much talk about the Gibbs slump earlier this season, yet Gibbs Racing has three drivers in the top eight. But again, it’s not as bad as it looks.
No way Erik Jones gets his first win at Darlington, right? GODSPEAK: If “James Bond” can be in a NASCAR-themed movie, then Jones can win Darlington. KEN’S CALL: It’s his first Cup race at that rough old track, so odds are long against him. A top-10 for Jimmie Johnson, perhaps? GODSPEAK: It is a few weeks early. Just wait until the first playoff race at Chicagoland Speedway. KEN’S CALL: How crazy; that’s actually become a legitimate question in recent weeks.

Ty Dillon will pay tribute to Smokey Yunick and Johnny Rutherford at Darlington in this throwback scheme. Rutherford raced a car in these colors in 1963 and won a Daytona qualifier. [PHOTO/LIONEL
KYLE BUSCH VS. JOEY LOGANO: Since there was no Cup Series racing, we find the feud of the season (to date) — Busch confronted Logano after the Las Vegas race and walked away bloodied. GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: There hasn’t been anything close to this dramatic moment at Las Vegas. The video of the confrontation went viral, and you can still find it online to this day.

1. Throwback weekend The Southern 500 throwback weekend at Darlington Raceway has become a favorite for race teams and fans alike. This is the third year Darlington has run the promotion, and race teams are all in. The majority of cars will run paint schemes seen in days gone by. There are some real classics in the mix, such as Germain Racing’s No. 13 Chevrolet, which will carry a Smokey Yunick paint scheme used in 1963.
2. Playoff fever A total of 13 drivers have punched their tickets to the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs. That leaves three openings and two races left to contest, which means at least one driver will get to the postseason on points. The driver who could really shake up the playoffs is Erik

Jones, who finished top-three in his past two starts. Since Jones can’t make it on points, he is the primary spoiler for those drivers around the points cutline.
3. Visser-ized Barney Visser owns Furniture Row Racing’s No. 78 and No. 77 Cup Series Toyotas. Even though Visser has stated many times that the No. 77 will likely disappear when Erik Jones joins Joe Gibbs Racing, that doesn’t mean his phone has been silent. The team has said it has talked to several brand-name drivers about the No. 77 ride, but it all depends on whether proper sponsorship can be located. Stay tuned.
