The 104th Fighter Wing continues to improve readiness as they execute a Phase I exercise to train and demonstrate deployment capabilities. The Airmen of the 104th Fighter Wing will prepare over 300 personnel and 108 pallets of cargo equipment for deployment along with the F-15C aircraft. Readiness ancillary training to include self-aid buddy care, medical requirements, and gas mask training will be conducted over the weekend to ensure the wing’s Airmen are postured to support both state side emergencies and overseas contingencies.
“I am proud of the 104th Fighter Wing for our Airmen’s commitment to readiness,” said Suhr. ——— The 104th Fighter Wing is equipped with the F-15 Eagle.

Westfield River cleanup looking for volunteers By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—The Westfield River Watershed Association (WRWA) is looking for volunteers to help clean the Westfield River Watershed on Sept. 23. WRWA, in conjunction with the Connecticut River Conservancy, have co-sponsored a river cleanup to help clean the tributaries to the Connecticut River and help lessen impact on the environment. The cleanup will be happening Saturday, Sept. 23, beginning at 9 a.m., and the WRWA’s portion will be taking place along the Westfield River in both Westfield and Agawam, and volunteers are urged to attend. “It’s one of the really great resources of Westfield and the towns in the area and we want it to be available and useful and enjoyable,” Mark Damon, secretary and WRWA board member, said of the Westfield River and the cleanup efforts. The cleanup happens twice a year and according to Damon, about 50 bags of trash are collected during the event but efforts have shown improvement. “The river is getting better, it’s gradually getting cleaner,” Damon said. “Every year we find a few spots that are messy but it’s getting better.” However, there are still some large items, Damon said, which do need to be cleaned out from the area. “There’s usually some tires and a few other large items, we get furniture, we get things like mattresses,” he said.

(WNG file photo) He also warned that needles may be found, so those helping will want to be mindful and careful when cleaning. Damon said that the cleanup helps people contribute to the community and to the environment, while also being able to explore portions of nature that they may not be normally exposed to. “Sometimes I have people tell me they had seen wildlife they didn’t know we had in the area,” he said.

By AMY PORTER Correspondent WESTFIELD – In coordination with MassHousing, the City of Westfield is co-sponsoring a home purchase incentive program called Buy Westfield Now. The purpose of this program is to promote home ownership within the city. A team of lenders, real estate agents, non-profits and other businesses have joined together to craft a home purchase incentive program for home buyers interested in investing in Westfield. Peter J. Miller, director of community development for the city, said the team has been soliciting incentives from lenders, attorneys and home inspectors, and putting together a packet for homebuyers, which include incentives such as discounted fees from attorneys, or credit for closing costs from different groups. An Open House is scheduled for vendors interested in participating in this incentive program. The Open House will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 13 from 12 to 2 p.m. at the G&E Service Center on 40 Turnpike Industrial Road, Westfield. “The whole point is to use Westfield businesses as our vendors. The whole project will be Westfield-centric,” Miller said. “We’re trying to make the Westfield market as healthy as we can, and bring more buyers to market. People are looking for houses,” he added. “We are excited to be building this program with MassHousing. Similar ‘Buy Now’ programs currently exist in Chicopee, Holyoke and Springfield, all of which have been successful for their cities. We are optimistic that Westfield can build a successful incentive program to entice home buyers to Westfield,” said Mayor Brian P. Sullivan about the Buy Westfield Now program. MassHousing (The Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency) is an independent, quasi-public agency created in 1966 and charged with providing financing for affordable housing in Massachusetts. The agency raises capital by selling bonds and lends the proceeds to low- and moderate-income homebuyers and homeowners, and to developers who build or preserve affordable and/or mixed-income rental housing. “MassHousing is committed to helping lower-and moderateincome Massachusetts residents achieve the benefits of owning their own home and we are pleased to partner with the City of Westfield in the Buy Westfield Now program. This collaboration between the city, lenders, real estate agents and non-profit organizations provides all the resources new homebuyers need to not only purchase a home, but to be successful homeowners,” said MassHousing Executive Director Tim Sullivan. For more information about attending the Sept. 13 Open House, contact Ida Tassinari at (413) 250-4262 or by email at IdaTsells@gmail.com. Attendance to the event may be secured directly by reserving a ticket at the Eventbrite website, under ‘Buy Westfield Now Sponsor Kickoff.’
Westfield resident returns home after 30 years of health care ethics By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent WESTFIELD – It’s been three decades since John Tuohey has returned back to his home town of Westfield. A 1972 graduate of Westfield High School, Tuohey has spent the last 30 years excelling at perfecting his craft; health care ethics. Since 1998, Tuohey was the first holder of the endowed chair in Applied Health Care ethics at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in Portland. Tuohey’s work revolved around internal medicine, family practice, surgical and pharmacy residency programs, general ethics education for staff at hospitals, as well as offering help to clinical and organizational ethics consultation services. With all of the different responsibilities that Tuohey had in his career, he believed that his overall work had a clear importance. “I always felt like I was helping changing the way doctors did practices,” said Tuohey. “I really felt like I was shaping the future of health care.” One of the more difficult challenges that Tuohey had to face throughout his career was when doctors at the hospital would be having an issue with a patient and would want to release them from their care
since they’re not following directions. “They don’t want to abandon the patient, but they (doctors) get frustrated,” said Tuohey. This is when Tuohey would step in and find out if it would be ethical for the doctor to let go of the patient. In an attempt to find middle ground, Tuohey’s effort consisted of trying to find the best solution possible for both parties. Besides his work at the Providence St. Vincent Medical Center, Tuohey was also a member of the Oregon Pandemic Preparedness Task Force in which he assisted in creating a decision-making matrix towards the allocation of scarce resources. Tuohey also helped the task force with advance directive reform and also was an ethics consultant to the Oregon Medical Association. While his 30-year career also included spending time in Oklahoma and Washington D.C., Tuohey has permanently arrived back to Westfield and his family is happy to have him back. “We’re very happy to have him back in the area,” said Ursula Tuohey, John’s mother. “It’s good to have John home.” While Tuohey has been able to celebrate his father’s 90th birthday and spend more time with his 4-yearold Irish Golden Doodle, he’s also
Tuhoey is seen leading a mass at a parish in the Oregon area. (Photo courtesy of Ed Langlois) been able to reflect on why he chose to come back to the Western Massachusetts area. “After 30 years I just decided it was time to get back to parish life,” said Tuohey. “I really feel like it was time to repurpose my talents.”
During his time in Oregon the past couple of years, Tuohey began to notice that he really enjoyed going to parishes on weekends to preach. “I just kind of thought that it was telling me something,” said Tuohey.
Currently, Tuohey is donating his time by helping out local parishes on the weekends. A member of the Springfield Diocese, Tuohey is meeting with the Bishop shortly in the hope that he can receive a fulltime position at a nearby parish.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) — A southern Indiana farmer who created a corn maze with trails outlining the face of “Star Wars” character Princess Leia says he planted it to honor the late actress Carrie Fisher. Jeremy Goebel designed the maze in February, more than a month after Fisher’s late December death, and planted it this spring using a GPS device. The corn is now mature and its trails outline the “Star Wars” character’s face, distinctive hairstyle and part of her upper body. Goebel tells the Evansville Courier & Press that as a longtime “Star Wars” fan he “wanted to pay tribute to Carrie Fisher.” The maze at Goebel Farms in Evansville, Indiana, honors Fisher with trails above Leia’s head that spell out “Carrie Fisher RIP 1956-2016.” The maze opens to paying customers this weekend.

ON THIS DATE: In 1776, the second Continental Congress made the term “United States” official, replacing “United Colonies.” In 1850, California became the 31st state of the union. In 1893, Frances Cleveland, wife of President Grover Cleveland, gave birth to a daughter, Esther, in the White House; it was the first (and, to date, only) time a president’s child was born in the executive mansion. In 1919, some 1,100 members of Boston’s 1,500-man police force went on strike. (The strike was broken by Massachusetts Gov. Calvin Coolidge with replacement officers.) In 1926, the National Broadcasting Co. (NBC) was incorporated by the Radio Corp. of America. In 1942, during World War II, a Japanese plane launched from a submarine off the Oregon coast dropped a pair of incendiary bombs in a failed attempt at igniting a massive forest fire; it was the first aerial bombing of the U.S. mainland by a foreign power. In 1956, Elvis Presley made the first of three appearances on “The Ed Sullivan Show.” In 1967, the comedy show “Rowan & Martin’s LaughIn” aired as a onetime special on NBC; its success led to a regular series beginning in January 1968.

Letter to the Editor
To the Editor Westfield residents have the opportunity meet with Candidate Matt Emmershy at an up coming Meet and Greet, that he is hosting at Skyline Trading on Sept 11th from 6-9pm. I hope that residents are able to come down, introduce themselves, and get to know me. I have been out on my bike every evening knocking on doors. I entered the race late, so it will take some time for me to make it to every neighborhood. This is no small task. I decided to run for City Council At Large in July after the City Council narrowly passed the Mayor’s budget by 1 vote on June 22nd. I attended the June 21st public participation budget meeting. The chamber and halls were filled with residents and small business owners, who almost unanimously stated “Enough is enough”, and that they could not afford higher taxes. I was one of those concerned residents who had not planned to speak, but ended up doing so anyway. While many people are grateful for those councilors who are listening to the very real concerns of the residents, it’s clear that the majority of our councilors are not listening. Government needs to get back to basics. In Westfield, core services are being neglected and under funded, with priority being placed on budget busting niceties. All while our roads and bridges are falling apart. In the mean time, we are literally taxing residents out of their homes. Many people cannot afford to retire in Westfield. Working families and seniors cannot afford to pay higher taxes, and they are postponing making necessary repairs on their homes. I’ve heard from seniors in the most rural sections, to those living in Ridgecrest, who have owned their homes for years. This year we are facing a whopping 5.5% residential (6% commercial) tax increase unless the mayor chooses to utilize free cash and/or stabilization funds to reduce this increase. I find this to be unacceptable, and this was the final straw in my decision to run. As a father and husband, I want what’s best for our city. We need a Council that will listen to the people, work together to get things done and make the hard decisions that are needed to keep us from hitting the prop 2-½-tax ceiling. We need new faces who will join with those on the Council that will listen to residents and bring new ideas to the table. Head downtown on the 11th to Skyline located at 124 Elm St. Matt Emmershy Candidate, City Council At-Large
Winds, fire, floods and quakes: A nutty run of nature By SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — With four big hurricanes, a powerful earthquake and wildfires, it seems that nature recently has just gone nuts. Some of these disasters, like Friday's earthquake in Mexico, are natural. Others may end up having a mix of natural and man-made ingredients after scientists examine them. We also always tend to look for patterns and order in chaos, even when they aren't there, psychologists say. "Nature's gone crazy," mused Jeff Masters, meteorology director at the private service Weather Underground. "Welcome to the future. Extreme weather like this is going to be occurring simultaneously more often because of global warming." A look at a rough few weeks in North America: HURRICANE QUARTET Hurricane Harvey hadn't even fizzled and Houston hadn't even dried out from record flooding before Hurricane Irma formed and also grew into a powerful Category 4 storm. Right behind Irma, Jose has powered up to a Category 4 storm. It is highly unusual, but not unprecedented to have back-to-back storms of that strength, Masters said. And then there is See Nature, Page 5

Irma bears down on Florida, more than 5M told to flee coast By CURT ANDERSON and CLAIRE GALOFARO Associated Press MIAMI (AP) — Irma trained its sights on Florida and officials warned more than 5 million people that time was running out Friday to evacuate ahead of the deadly hurricane as it followed a path that could take it from one end of the state to the other. By early evening, Irma was a slightly weakened Category 4 storm with winds of 155 mph (250 kph) and forecasters said it could be back up to Category 5 when it comes ashore near Key West on Sunday morning. Forecasters adjusted the storm's potential track more toward the west coast of Florida, away from the Miami metropolitan area of 6 million people, meaning "a less costly, a less deadly storm," University of Miami researcher Brian McNoldy said. Nevertheless, forecasters warned that its hurricane-force winds were so wide they could reach from coast to coast, testing the nation's third-largest state, which has undergone rapid development and more stringent hurricane-proof building codes in the last decade or so. "This is a storm that will kill you if you don't get out of the way," National Hurricane Center meteorologist Dennis Feltgen said. "Everybody's going to feel this one." Irmakilled at least 20 people in the Caribbean and left thousands homeless as it devastated small resort islands known for their warm, turquoise water. In Florida, gas shortages and gridlock plagued the evacuations, turning normally simple trips into tests of will. Parts of interstates 75 and 95 north were bumper-to-bumper, while very few cars drove on the southbound lanes. "We're getting out of this state," said Manny Zuniga, who left his home in Miami at midnight Thursday to avoid the gridlock. "Irma is going to take all of Florida." Despite driving overnight, he still took 12 hours to reach Orlando — a trip that normally takes four hours. From there, he and his wife, two children, two dogs and a ferret were headed to Arkansas. In one of the country's largest evacuations, about 5.6 million people in Florida — more than one-quarter of the state's population — were ordered to evacuate and another 540,000 were told to leave the Georgia coast. Authorities opened hundreds of shelters for people who did not leave. Hotels as far away as Atlanta filled up with evacuees. Florida Gov. Rick Scott said people fleeing could drive slowly in the shoulder lane on highways. He hasn't reversed the southbound lanes because he said they were needed to deliver gas and supplies. "If you are planning to leave and do not leave tonight, you will have to ride out this extremely dangerous storm at your own risk," Scott said.
Tony Marcellus racked his brain to figure out a way to get his 67-year-old mother and 85-year-old grandfather out of their home five blocks from the ocean in West Palm Beach. He lives 600 miles away in Atlanta. He checked flights but found nothing and rental cars were sold out, so he settled on a modern method of evacuation. He hired an Uber to pick them up and drive them 170 miles to Orlando, where he met them to take them to Atlanta. He gave the driver a nice tip. "I have peace of mind now," said Marcellus' mother, Celine Jean. "I've been worried sick for days." Several small, poor communities around Lake Okeechobee in the south-central part of Florida were added to the evacuation list because the lake may overflow — but the governor said engineers expect the protective dike to hold up. Many people in the area said they wouldn't leave because they either had no transportation or nowhere to go. Disney World parks will close early Saturday and remain shuttered through Monday, as will Universal Orlando and Sea World. Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez said he planned for enough space to hold 100,000 people before the storm arrives, although most shelters were only beginning to fill on Friday. Hurricane Andrew in 1992 revealed how lax building codes had become in the country's most storm-prone state, and Florida began requiring sturdier construction. Now, experts say a monstrously strong Irma could become the most serious test of Florida's storm-worthiness since then. Andrew razed Miami's suburbs with winds topping 165 mph (265 kph), damaging or blowing apart over 125,000 homes. Almost all mobile homes in its path were obliterated. The damage totaled $26 billion in Florida's most-populous areas. At least 40 people were killed in Florida. CoreLogic, a consultant to insurers, estimated that nearly 8.5 million Florida homes or commercial properties were at extreme, very high or high risk of wind damage from Irma. Police in the Fort Lauderdale suburb of Davie said a 57-yearold man who had been hired to install hurricane shutters Thursday morning died after falling about 15 feet (5 meters) from a ladder and hitting his head on a pool deck. The man's name wasn't immediately released. Forecasters predicted a storm surge of 6 to 12 feet above ground level along Florida's southwest coast and in the Keys. As much as a foot of rain could fall across the state, with isolated spots receiving 20 inches. With winds that peaked at 185 mph (300 kph), Irma was once the most powerful hurricane ever recorded in the open Atlantic.

She was born February 22, 1916 in Springfield, the daughter of Theophile J. and Delia (Lussier) Bleau. Cecile was a graduate of Commerce High School. She lived in Southwick for 42 years before moving into the Palmer area in 1995. Her loving husband of 64 years, Bernard A. Babcock, Sr. passed away in 2003 upon which time Cecile moved in with her daughter Kathleen, where she had resided for the past 14 years. She was a former communicant of Our Lady of The Lake Church in Southwick and member of The Ladies Rosary Altar Society. After moving to the Palmer area, she attended St. Thomas Church. Mrs. Babcock worked as a Secretary for Berkshire Bank (formerly Woronoco Savings Bank) for over 20 years retiring in 1975. She also owned and operated Cecile’s Ceramic Studio in Southwick for many years. She was a lifetime member of the Pioneer Valley Ceramic Assoc. Cecile and Bernard enjoyed wintering in Riverview, Florida for over 20 years. She loved crocheting, knitting, crossword puzzles and square dancing. She is survived by three children, Bernard A. Babcock, Jr. and his wife Eileen of Corpus Christi, TX., Frances B. Allen and her husband Gary of Southwick and Kathleen C. Sacco of Wales. Affectionately known as “Old Grandma”, she also leaves ten grandchildren; twenty great grandchildren; a great great grandson and many nieces and nephews.

Nature Hurricane Katia, just a shade under major hurricane status, due to hit Mexico's Gulf coast. The last couple of years were quiet for Atlantic hurricanes, which makes this year seem even worse, said Colorado State University meteorology professor Phil Klotzbach, a hurricane expert. He said calculations that measure strength and duration show the three current Atlantic storms set a one-day record for energy on Friday. In just three days, Irma, Jose and Katia have produced as much as energy as about half a normal six-month hurricane season. EARTHQUAKE As Mexico was bracing for Katia off the Gulf coast, one of the strongest earthquakes in the country's history hit late Thursday off its Pacific coast, near the Guatemala border. The magnitude 8.1 earthquake was felt for more than 650 miles (1,000 kilometers). The quake shook at a depth of 43 miles (69 kilometers) and a quake hitting at that depth with that strength is unusual, according to Cornell University geophysics professor Geoff Abers. It was one of the five largest for that deep in the past 40 years, he said.

Continued from Page 4 WILDFIRES On Friday, 82 wildfires were burning in the United States involving nearly 1.5 million acres in nine states in the West. So far this year, more than 8 million acres have burned, only behind 2015 and 2012. One fire at the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest in Oregon has burned more than 175,000 acres and is only 5 percent contained as of Friday, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. Drought and a heat wave contributed. On Sept. 1, in normally temperate San Francisco, the temperature
hit 106 degrees and at least six deaths were reported from the heat wave. WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? Sometimes there's a pattern in chaos. Sometimes there isn't. Looking for patterns gives us a sense of control, even if we don't really have it, said Scott Lilienfeld, a psychology professor at Emory University in Atlanta. "The human mind is a pattern-seeking organ,'" he said. "That's how our minds work." It can take weeks or months for scientists to determine whether an extreme weather event was worsened by man-
made climate change. But scientists have long predicted that the strongest hurricanes will get stronger and wetter, fueled by warmer ocean water. And some say the recent global increase in powerful hurricanes fits perfectly with global warming. While warming may play a small role, so does Twitter and Facebook in making things appear worse, said Klotzbach. "It just feels like, you know, it's the apocalyptic end times," he said. "But a lot of this stuff is getting attention because of social media."

Hyper • Local
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.

Dear Annie By ANNIE LANE
Adopted Daughter Has Questions Dear Annie: I am a proud mother of two loving, bright and beautiful young children, ages 4 and 6. They were both adopted, and I was fortunate enough to hold them within hours of their births. I am completely their mother. I am so very thankful for adoption, as I’m so happy to have a lovely family. I regularly read my children stories in which adoption plays a prevalent role so that they will understand it and be comfortable with it; I won’t ever hide this from them. However, the different adoption laws out there have created an interesting dilemma for me. The birth mother of my 6-year-old daughter requested a completely closed adoption. There can be no contact from either side, and she made very clear that she wants no part in this, which I respect. However, the birth mother of my youngest wants contact with her son -- and she kept her firstborn. So my son sees his biological mother and brother twice a year. Again, I respect that agreement; I am forever thankful for her. But now I am faced with the problem of my beautiful, bright little girl’s wondering why she does not have another “family” that wants her. She has started to ask questions, and I am afraid of how this might affect her. I love my children so much, and they have such a fantastic relationship. How do you suggest I handle this situation? -- Anxious Adopter Dear Adopter: It’s wonderful that you’ve honored your son’s birth mother’s wishes. You might want to consider whether these visits would be good to continue in the long run. Are they good for your son? Do they confuse him? They have apparently already confused your daughter. Open adoptions work for some families. But others find it overwhelming for the kids. Many families have degrees of openness -- for example, meeting a few times when the child is an infant or toddler and then keeping in touch by email and pictures for a few years. It gives everyone peace of mind and allows people to move forward with their lives. Decide what is best for your family. Remember that you are in charge. Adoptive parents have legal, moral and every other type of authority. And do not let feelings of sympathy or guilt cloud your judgment. Your children’s best interests must come first. You’re in this for a lifetime. Dear Annie: My son’s wife is a hypochondriac and has been since I met her 10 years ago. She even had elective surgeries, which did not go well. However, her pretend aches and pains do not upset me as much as her projecting ailments upon my son. He was a healthy man until she found reasons for him to have surgeries; it doesn’t help that her sister is a nurse. I’m terrified that she will come up with a very unnecessary back surgery suggestion because he has had this back pain for over 30 years because of a fall that happened long before he met her. This is too serious! Should I warn my son? He is so enamored with this young woman that he cannot see that she has no idea what she’s talking about. -- Ongoing Unhappiness Dear Ongoing: You can express your concern to your son and encourage him to get the opinions of a few doctors before making such a major decision -- but only tell him once. Anything more would be intrusive and likely to push him away. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators. com.
HINTS FROM HELOISE WANT TO REDUCE STRESS? Dear Heloise: I’ve been a travel agent for nearly 20 years, and I can tell you firsthand that the benefits of travel in reducing stress and making life more exciting are huge. Many of the benefits are intangible, but still are well worth the effort to take a trip somewhere new. It’s no secret that Americans take very little time off from work when compared with other countries, such as France, Finland and Spain. Life is short, and all of us need time to relax and rejuvenate. -- Helen M., Tulsa, Okla. Helen, I agree. Time away from work gives us time to enjoy new sights and sounds, to try new foods and meet new people. It can be educational and even productive. Even if someone wants to do a few things around the home instead of traveling, it’s still time away from the everyday routine. -- Heloise NEW USE FOR PAINT CHIPS Dear Heloise: My husband and I did some remodeling around our home, which included repainting. I had several paint chips from the hardware store and didn’t know what to do with them, so I used them as bookmarks for all the books I love to read. -Nancy E., Norfolk, Va. INDEX CARDS Dear Heloise: In my job, I have to make calls on clients in their homes, so I carry 4-by-6-inch index cards with me to leave messages for people to let them know I was there, and when and how to contact me. The index cards are cheap and have much more room than the back of a business card (which I also leave) so I can leave little messages. -- Corrine T., Muncie, Ind.

William Shatner talks ‘Wrath of Khan,’ new creative projects LOS ANGELES (AP) — As "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" marks its 35th anniversary with a return to theaters for special screenings next week, star William Shatner is celebrating more than his long history as Captain Kirk. At 86, the stalwart entertainer is busier than ever, starring in a reality series, competing as an equestrian, traveling with his one-man, writing books (his latest is on aging), making movies (including one he wrote) and launching a Twitter campaign to encourage charity and kindness that he calls the Ubuntu Project, referencing the South African concept of common humanity. "Khan" — which Fathom Events plans to screen at 600 theaters across the country on Sunday and Wednesday — stands out because "all my friends were in it," says Shatner, who talked with The Associated Press about that film and his other creative endeavors. Responses have been edited for clarity and brevity. AP: How much does "Wrath of Khan" stand out in your career? Shatner: Well it was a lovely film. I enjoyed doing it. All my friends were in it. It's been a long time. The actors, many of them are now no longer with us, and yet the film stands. AP: Are you surprised the film still has such life? Shatner: It's stupefying, really, that peo-
ple still want to see it. And it's very popular. AP: You released a book earlier this year about horses. How much time do you spend riding? Shatner: I've just come back from world championship horse show, where I competed. My wife did, too. We're going away next week to another type of horse show in Las Vegas... Now I'm just finishing up a book on aging... That will be out next year, next spring or winter. AP: You seem to see the sunny side of your fans on Twitter. How do you manage that? Shatner: I'll give you one example: A man from a small town, Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, tweets that his son who's autistic will only eat pasta from a carton that has Star Wars stuff on it, but they've run out of the cartons in Nanaimo and can anybody help him. I retweeted that saying, "Let's help this man," and he received thousands of cartons from elsewhere of the food. Plus the Kraft company called and said to the young man, "We want your help in designing a new carton." That singular thing, who knows what affect that will have on an autistic kid? And the kindness of everybody to react to that man will change everybody's character for their lifetime. Multiply that by many, many instances of people seeking help and getting help from being on
Twitter... I'm calling it the Ubuntu Project and I want you to feel your humanity by giving something — it could be innocuous, it may be nothing to give $10, but you're exercising your ubuntu. AP: You've embraced comedic roles later in your career. How intentional was that shift? Shatner: When I started out in theater in Canada — I had about five years as a professional actor before I came down to the states — I did only light comedy... Then got into serious roles, and my ability to play comedy was shunned to the side there for a while, but I've always thought that the character I'm playing should have a sense of humor about something. Deadly serious is deadly in my opinion. AP: You also showed a funnier side in "Better Late Than Never," the reality series you did last year with Henry Winkler, George Foreman and Terry Bradshaw. Shatner: I just came back from six weeks of doing next season. It'll be on in January, I think. (NBC hasn't announced a premiere date.) We went to Europe! We had a lot of fun. A lot of funny things happened. AP: You're starting another film soon. What can you say about it? Shatner: It's called "Relic." I wrote the story and a friend of mine wrote the screenplay and we're going to make it in November.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Sept. 9, 2017 This year you enter a phase of greater clarity and potential. You might not be as effusive as you have been in the past, but you certainly have a great personality and an ability to manifest your desires. Others often enlist you in helping them fulfill a goal or dream. If you are single, you will not have to go far to meet the right person: You might run into this person even pulling out of your driveway! An unexpected element could be involved. If you are attached, the two of you proceed and follow through on a major goal. You seem to be on the verge of creating much more of what you want. Respect your differences. TAURUS often uses your practicality to strengthen a plan. ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Someone could let you know how much you are valued. This person has no expectation that you respond in kind; this simply is how he or she feels. Others start to share and be more vulnerable than they have been in months. Get into this moment. There is little guarantee that it is forever. Tonight: All smiles. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You express a willingness to get into the moment this afternoon. Others often expect you to hold back and decide to do what you want. You flow with the moment and what is occurring. Others appreciate your efforts. Tonight: Beam in more of what you want. Go for it. Do not hesitate. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You could be ready to take a stand, but it appears that you, of all signs, don’t have a receptive audience. Lie low and remain prepared to handle any hassle that might come forward. You don’t need to share a plan, but you might want some help or a brainstorming session. Tonight: Make it early. There is always tomorrow. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You could be full of get-up-and-go. Focus on accomplishing what you must in order to free yourself up. Midday, you notice a change in your tone. Friends seek you out, and getting together with others seems to be highlighted. Let go of a recent hassle and get into the fun of the moment. Tonight: Where the action is. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Make calls in the morning. You are likely to get an interesting response. Stay on top of what is happening; don’t sell yourself short. You have the ability to think and sift through different ways of understanding. In the afternoon, you assume your natural role as a communicator. Tonight: Be aware of someone’s expectations. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You might have a hard conversation with a loved one or dear associate. This person could be very important to you, but at the moment, he or she could be quite demanding. Detach and understand what is really ailing this person. Tonight: Go exotic. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Others see you in a different way once you break out of your current mood. Someone’s sudden action or impulsiveness sends you into a state of concern. You might want to come to terms with the volatility that hanging out with this person brings. Tonight: All smiles. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You could be more uptight than you realize. An unexpected development stemming from someone’s actions could set off an argument. Study the situation for what it offers. You might want to loosen up some and get some exercise. Tonight: Go for an escape. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Your fiery spirit and willingness, at times, to charge into a wild situation comes out. Whether learning a new sport or getting to know an interesting new group of people, it offers excitement and a lot to consider. Anger could pop up from out of nowhere when reflecting on your past. Tonight: Know when to call it a night. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Reflect on the possibilities and what you would most like to do. An unusually creative person intrigues you. If you can, make plans around this person and spend more time getting to know him or her. Tonight: Pretend you are a kid again.

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
DARLINGTON
SPEED FREAKS A few questions we had to ask ourselves Just a “racin’ deal” or was that a dent in the Martin Truex Jr. armor? GODSPEAK: Truex is OK. Darlington’s grater-like surface chewed up his old tires and proved to be his undoing. KEN’S CALL: Racin’ deal. Hamlin had the faster car and would’ve passed Truex anyway.
THREE THINGS WE LEARNED
C U P S TA N D I N G S Richard Petty was black-flagged for taking too many laps in his 1967 Plymouth during pace laps at Darlington. [NASCAR GETTY IMAGES/SARAH CRABILL]
WINNER: Clint Bowyer REST OF TOP 5: Jamie McMurray, Erik Jones, Matt Kenseth, Kevin Harvick FIRST ONE OUT: Jeffrey Earnhardt DARK HORSE: Dale Earnhardt Jr. DON’T BE SURPRISED IF: Bowyer’s team pulls it all together and snags a victory to make the playoffs.
MOTOR MOUTHS PODCAST We’ll throw it back to Darlington and pass it forward to Richmond and the end of the regular season. Lots of info from such a little pod. Tune in online at www.news-journalonline. com/daytonamotormouths
How do PR folks earn their keep?
Doesn’t this sound nuts?
Best bet to clinch playoff spot with Richmond win? GODSPEAK: Clint Bowyer reaches way down and pulls a surprise win out of his tool box. KEN’S CALL: Matt Kenseth.
GODWIN’S PICKS FOR RICHMOND
Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers
Mostly by knowing how to go after marketing opportunities, but sometimes by knowing what to avoid. Back in July at New Hampshire, NBC aired a pre-race segment showing Daniel Suarez handing out Dunkin’ Donuts to race fans on race-day morning. Oops. You see, Suarez’s team has partial sponsorship from Subway, and since Subway is also in the breakfast game, Subway can’t have Suarez marketing a competitor’s food (we’re assuming doughnuts are considered food).
Where do you rank Denny Hamlin among contenders? GODSPEAK: He is gaining momentum going into playoffs, but I can only rank him fifth at this point. KEN’S CALL: Somewhere between second and fourth with the two Kyles (Busch and Larson). Truex is still the clear favorite.
1. Martin Truex Jr. 1000 2. Kyle Busch 893 3. Kyle Larson 884 4. Kevin Harvick 867 5. Denny Hamlin 810 6. Brad Keselowski 761 7. Chase Elliott 737 8. Matt Kenseth 735 9. Jamie McMurray 734 10. Jimmie Johnson 653
QUESTIONS & AT T I T U D E
1. Once a driver. . .
2. Blame Blaney
3. In one breath
Darlington Raceway honored Richard Petty at its throwback weekend by letting him run a pace lap in his 1967 No. 43 Plymouth. Petty, 80, was having so much fun behind the wheel, he just kept turning laps. NASCAR had to black-flag Petty to get him off the course.
These new, young drivers don’t seem to mind taking the blame for driving mistakes. Ryan Blaney hit the wall early Sunday and pointed the finger at the guilty party. “That was a huge mistake on my part,” Blaney said. “I don't know what I was doing.” D.W. never said that.
Martin Truex Jr. explained in one breath why Darlington is so tough these days. “These cars are a lot harder to drive,” he said. “The track is a year older, tires are wearing out faster, cars have less downforce, cars have more horsepower. The competition is closer. It was really hot.”
— Godwin Kelly, godwin.kelly@news-jrnl.com
THREE THINGS TO WATCH 1. Playoff picture Martin Truex Jr. had a disappointing result (eighth) in the Southern 500, but had a great points day. Truex nabbed two more playoff points by winning Stages 1 and 2, plus clinching the regular-season championship, worth 15 playoff points. He has amassed 52 playoff points, more than double his closest rival. “It was definitely a bittersweet night for us,” said Truex, who led a race-high 124 laps but blew a tire with two to go.
2. Bubble Boys
three points separate the trio of drivers, which means if an unexpected winner pops up at Richmond, one of them is eliminated.
3. Best stuff
Denny Hamlin got his second win of the season, but more importantly, earned five more playoff points at Darlington. [NASCAR GETTY IMAGES/MATT
There is just one regular-season race to run before the NASCAR Cup Series goes into playoff mode. Only three positions are available for the postseason, which means the three guys

SULLIVAN]
eligible based on points — Chase Elliott, Matt Kenseth and Jamie McMurray — won’t get much sleep this week. Only
Several drivers, who have an upset win on their minds, will be bringing their best stuff to Richmond for a Hail Mary attempt at winning the race to make the playoffs. The three drivers to watch are Joey Logano, Erik Jones and Clint Bowyer, all below the points cutline. “We’re not out of this thing,” Bowyer said. “We’ve still got a good race track coming up for us. We’ll just go there and put all the cards on the table over there.”
— Godwin Kelly, godwin. kelly@news-jrnl.com
May 13: GoBowling.com 400 at Kansas (Martin Truex Jr.) May 20: All-Star Race at Charlotte (Kyle Busch) May 28: Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte (Austin Dillon) June 4: AAA 400 Drive for Autism at Dover (Jimmie Johnson) June 11: Axalta “We Paint Winners” 400 at Pocono (Ryan Blaney) June 18: FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan (Kyle Larson) June 25: Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma (Kevin Harvick) July 1: Coke Zero 400 at Daytona (Ricky Stenhouse) July 8: Quaker State 400 at Kentucky (Martin Truex Jr.) July 16: New Hampshire 301 at Loudon (Denny Hamlin) July 23: Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis (Kasey Kahne) July 30: Pennsylvania 400 at Pocono (Kyle Busch)
To those who don’t work on the marketing side of Corporate America, yes, it sounds nuts. Subway had just one race left on its Suarez deal, so it could be worse. If Subway returns with a different team next year, NASCAR might see its first-ever doughnut clause in a sponsorship contract.
FEUD OF THE WEEK KYLE LARSON VS. MARTIN TRUEX JR.: Two of NASCAR’s top drivers made contact during the race, and Truex took full responsibility for the incident. GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: “I got a big run on him off of Turn 2,” Truex said. “I just bumped him a little bit in the tail and then turned inside of him and went on.”
