Missing 104th fighter pilot Search efforts resume, expand By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A Virginia State Police spokeswoman says rescuers have resumed searching for a pilot who went missing after a single-seat F-15C Eagle fighter jet assigned to the 104th Fighter Wing of the Massachusetts Air National Guard crashed in a remote, heavily wooded area of western Virginia. She says the search had been suspended at midnight. More than 100
people and several helicopters searched throughout the day yesterday. The search for the missing 104th Fighter Wing pilot expanded with additional Air Force resources as day broke over the Washington National Forest near Deerfield Valley, Virginia. The F-15C Eagle crashed at approximately 9:05 a.m. yesterday. Radio contact with the pilot was lost about 5 minutes earlier.

Officials say the pilot reported an inflight emergency, then lost radio contact. Several local residents reported hearing three loud booms. No injuries were reported on the ground. Officials haven’t yet said what caused the crash or whether the pilot ejected. Since yesterday morning, a search and rescue operation has been ongoing in Virginia. The search efforts now include a specially equipped HC-130 aircraft assigned to Moody Air Force Base. This aircraft has specialized equipment designed for

low-light/night-time search and rescue operations. The HC-130 has been conducting air operation since 3 a.m. Additionally, as many as seven helicopters have been conducting aerial night searches. Throughout yesterday, at least 100 state police, sheriff’s deputies and fire and rescue personnel had been on scene. The ground search slowed overnight due to the dangerous terrain around the crash site. Approximately 10 search-and-rescue teams were on the ground searching along logging roads, fire trails and forest roads. The terrain is too treacherous for off-road ground searches in the dark, according to Geller. The search for the missing pilot
and the investigation into the crash are ongoing. Yesterday, Col. James Keefe, Commander of the 104th Fighter Wing of the Massachusetts Air National Guard said at a news conference at Barnes that the missing pilot is an experienced flyer. He said the plane was on its way to New Orleans to have a radar installed as part of routine maintenance. There were no munitions on the aircraft during the cross-country trip to the New Orleans Naval Air Station where the aircraft was being modified with the newer radar system. See Missing Pilot, Page 8
Shooting stirs debate about children and guns By MICHELLE RINDELS and JACQUES BILLEAUD Associated Press LAS VEGAS (AP) — The death of an Arizona firearms instructor by a 9-year-old girl who was firing a fully automatic Uzi displayed a tragic side of what has become a hot industry in the U.S.: gun tourism. With gun laws keeping high-powered weapons out of reach for most people — especially those outside the U.S. — indoor shooting ranges with high-powered weapons have become a popular attraction. Tourists from Japan flock to ranges in Waikiki, Hawaii, and the dozen or so that have cropped up in Las Vegas offer bullet-riddled bachelor parties and literal shotgun weddings, where newly married couples can fire submachine gun rounds and pose with Uzis and ammo belts. “People just want to expe-
rience things they can’t experience elsewhere,” said Genghis Cohen, owner of Machine Guns Vegas. “There’s not an action movie in the past 30 years without a machine gun.” The accidental shooting death of the firing-range instructor in Arizona set off a powerful debate over youngsters and guns, with many people wondering what sort of parents would let a child handle a submachine gun. Instructor Charles Vacca, 39, was standing next to the girl Monday at the Last Stop range in White Hills, Arizona, about 60 miles south of Las Vegas, when she squeezed the trigger. The recoil wrenched the Uzi upward, and Vacca was shot in the head. Prosecutors say they will not file charges in the case. The identities of the girl and her family have not been released. The dusty outdoor range calls itself the Bullets and
Q&A: Few laws govern children at shooting range By GENE JOHNSON Associated Press A 39-year-old firing-range instructor was killed Monday while showing a 9-year-old girl how to use an Uzi submachine gun. Charles Vacca’s death at the Last Stop outdoor shooting range in White Hills, Arizona, has raised questions about allowing young children access to such weapons at firing ranges.

Burgers Adventure and touts its “Desert Storm atmosphere.” Similar attractions have been around since the 1980s in Las Vegas, although the city has experienced a boom of such businesses in the past few years. Excitement over guns tends to spike when there’s fear of tighter gun restrictions, according to Dan Sessions, general manager of Discount Firearms and Ammo, which houses the Vegas Machine Gun Experience. There’s also the prohibitive cost of owning an automatic weapon — an M5 might go for $25,000, while a chance to gun down zombie targets with an AR-15 and three other weapons costs less than $200. “It’s an opportunity that people may not come across again in their lifetime,” Sessions said.

SHOULD YOUNG CHILDREN HANDLE FIREARMS LIKE UZIS? Gun experts say what types of firearms a child can handle depends largely on the strength and experience of the child — but the notion of giving a 9-year-old a fully automatic Uzi made many queasy. Joe Waldron, an NRA-certified shooting instructor and range safety officer in Washington state, said: “For me as an instructor, I would not allow it, but I wasn’t there.” Dave Workman, who was a firearms instructor for 30 years, said it can be safe to allow children to shoot automatic weapons if a properly trained adult is helping them hold it. HAVE THERE BEEN OTHER FATAL INCIDENTS AT RANGES INVOLVING CHILDREN? In 2008, an 8-year-old Connecticut boy named Christopher Bizilj accidentally killed himself at a Massachusetts gun expo when he couldn’t handle the recoil of an Uzi submachine gun similar to the one that killed Vacca. The former chief who organized the expo was acquitted of manslaughter and other charges. DO LAWS PROHIBIT YOUNG CHILDREN FROM GUN RANGES? Waldron, the legislative director of the Washington State Rifle and Pistol Association, and Workman, senior editor at thegunmag.com and a spokesman for the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, said they were unaware of any states restricting the ages of children at gun ranges. The National Conference of State Legislatures, which tracks legislation on myriad issues, said it did not immediately have any data on the topic. Lindsey Zwicker, a staff attorney at the San Franciscobased Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, said that following the 2008 shooting in Massachusetts, Connecticut adopted a law banning anyone under the age of 16 from handling machine guns at shooting ranges, even with a parent’s permission. “This is an action states can do to prevent something like this from happening again,” she said. IS IT COMMON FOR YOUNG CHILDREN TO USE GUNS? Many children learn to handle a gun at a young age — 8 or 10 — and some shoot competitively. Waldron said most typically learn on a lighter bolt-action rifle, such as a .22-caliber, with safety reminders before, during and after they handle a weapon.

Vermont bistro scolded for removing its bacon sign WINOOSKI, Vt. (AP) — A Vermont restaurant that removed a bacon advertisement called insensitive to vegans and Muslims is being criticized for doing so. Sneakers Bistro and Cafe in Winooski last week took down a sign saying “Yield for Sneakers Bacon” after comments were posted in an online community forum by “a vegan and a member of a Muslim household.” Vegans and Muslims don’t eat pork. Sneakers’ menu features items including a breakfast sandwich with homemade turkey bacon. Owner Marc Dysinger says the sign was meant to be fun and to show the restaurant cares about Winooski, a city of 7,000 residents with many Muslim families. The Burlington Free Press (http:// bfpne.ws/1tWkxTv ) reports people have criticized the restaurant for what they feel was an unnecessary move. The restaurant has hired a public-relations firm to help it deal with the bad publicity.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Thursday, August 28, the 240th day of 2014. There are 125 days left in the year.
O
n August 28, 1964, two days of race-related rioting erupted in North Philadelphia over a false rumor that white police officers had beaten to death a pregnant black woman.
On this date: In 1609, English sea explorer Henry Hudson and his ship, the Half Moon, reached present-day Delaware Bay. In 1862, the Second Battle of Bull Run (also known as Second Manassas) began in Prince William County, Virginia, during the Civil War; the result was a Confederate victory. In 1922, the first-ever radio commercial aired on station WEAF in New York City; the 10-minute advertisement was for the Queensboro Realty Co., which had paid a fee of $100. In 1944, during World War II, German forces in Toulon and Marseille, France, surrendered to Allied troops. In 1945, the Allies began occupying Japan at the end of World War II. In 1955, Emmett Till, a black teen-ager from Chicago, was abducted from his uncle’s home in Money, Mississippi, by two white men after he had supposedly whistled at a white woman; he was found brutally slain three days later. In 1963, more than 200,000 people listened as the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. In 1968, police and anti-war demonstrators clashed in the streets of Chicago as the Democratic National Convention
nominated Hubert H. Humphrey for president. In 1972, Mark Spitz of the United States won the first two of his seven gold medals at the Munich Olympics, finishing first in the 200-meter butterfly and anchoring the 400-meter freestyle relay. The Soviet women gymnasts won the team allaround. In 1988, 70 people were killed when three Italian stunt planes collided during an air show at the U.S. Air Base in Ramstein (RAHM’-shtyn), West Germany. In 1990, an F5 tornado struck the Chicago area, killing 29 people. In 2012, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney swept to the Republican presidential nomination at a storm-delayed national convention in Tampa, Florida.
Ten years ago: Islamic militants claiming to be holding two French journalists in Iraq gave France 48 hours to overturn its law banning the wearing of Islamic head scarves in schools. (The French government refused the demand; the reporters, Christian Chesnot and Georges Malbrunot, were released in December 2004.) The U.S. men’s basketball team beat Lithuania 104-96 to win the Olympic bronze medal in Athens; Argentina won the gold medal by beating Italy 84-69.
Five years ago: The Los Angeles County coroner’s office announced that Michael Jackson’s death was a homicide caused primarily by the powerful anesthetic propofol and another sedative, lorazepam. Celebrity disc jockey Adam Goldstein, known as DJ AM, was found dead in his New York apartment; he was 36.
One year ago: A military jury sentenced Maj. Nidal Hasan to death for the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood that claimed 13 lives. On the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech at the Lincoln Memorial, President Barack Obama stood on the same steps as he challenged new generations to seize the cause of racial equality.

SPRINGFIELD (AP) — All three Democratic candidates for governor say they oppose a plan to expand a natural gas pipeline through northwestern Massachusetts. Steve Grossman, Donald Berwick and Martha Coakley said they couldn’t support Kinder Morgan’s proposed $3.75 billion natural gas pipeline, which would run about 250-miles from upstate New York to the town of Dracut along the MassachusettsNew Hampshire border. During a debate on WWLP-TV yesterday, the three said they would push to expand the state’s reliance on renewable energy,
including solar, wind and hydroelectric power. U.S. Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Edward Markey also oppose the project. Kinder Morgan spokesman Richard Wheatley has said the projected pipeline’s route, size and capacity are still not finalized. During the hour-long debate, the candidates were also quizzed on public safety, casinos and marijuana legalization. The primary is Sept. 9
College Highway gas leak quickly addressed By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – An odor of gas caused the evacuation of a building on College Highway this morning. The Ryan’s Professional Building at 627 College Highway was temporarily evacuated when employees at Dr. Jerome Azia’s dental office noticed a smell of natural gas early Wednesday morning. They notified Columbia Gas and the Southwick Fire Department responded to secure the building along with Southwick Police. Fire Chief Richard Anderson said they evacuated the building until Columbia Gas arrived on scene. “Columbia Gas responded and quickly shut off the gas to
that area of the building,” said Anderson. “Everyone was returned to the building quickly.” The entire ordeal took less than an hour. Anderson said the incident was referred to the plumbing inspector because the source of the odor was a gas dryer that had been moved, but not properly vented. “This odor call was responded to and the technician discovered that a new gas dryer was installed improperly,” said Andrea M. Luppi, communications and community relations manager for Columbia Gas of Massachusetts in Springfield. “Our only course of action is to make the situation safe until the customer’s contractor can rectify the issue. We would then return to turn the gas back on.”
Shooting
Continued from Page 1 Europe or Asia, where civilians are barred from many types of guns, long to indulge in the quintessentially American right to bear arms. “People have a fascination with guns,” said Cohen, who is from New Zealand and estimates about 90 percent of his customers are tourists. “They see guns as a big part of American culture, and they want to experience American culture.” The businesses cast a lighthearted spin on their shooting experiences, staging weddings in their ranges and selling souvenir T-shirts full of bullet holes. Behind the bravado, owners acknowledge they are one errant movement away from tragedy. Cohen’s business, for example, is installing a tethering system that will prevent machine guns from riding upward after firing — the same motion that killed the gun instructor this week. “Guns are designed to cause damage, and if they’re mishandled, they’ll do exactly that,” said Bob Irwin, owner of The Gun Store, the original Las Vegas machine gun attraction. “They have to be respected.” Sam Scarmardo, who operates the outdoor range in Arizona where the instructor was killed, said Wednesday that the parents had signed waivers saying they understood the rules and were standing nearby, video-recording their daughter, when the accident happened. “I have regret we let this child shoot, and I have regret that Charlie was killed in the incident,” Scarmardo said. He said he doesn’t know what went wrong, pointing out that Vacca was an Army veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan. Jace Zack, chief deputy for the Mohave County Attorney’s Office, said the instructor was probably the most criminally negligent person involved in the accident for having allowed the child to hold the gun without enough training. “The parents aren’t culpable,” Zack said. “They trusted the instructor to know what he was doing, and the girl could not possibly have comprehended the potential dangers involved.” Still, the accident has raised questions about whether children that young should be han-
By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – The Polverari-Southwick Animal Shelter is doing a different kind of fundraiser next week – A Mystery Road Rally. “It’s a combination road rally and scavenger hunt,” said Animal Control Officer Tracy Root. “Bob (Polverari) wanted to do something different because he said everyone does golf tournaments.” Set for Sept. 7, the event takes place at the shelter, located at 11 Depot St. at 10 a.m. and kicks-off with coffee and donuts donated by Dunkin Donuts. “It ends with a picnic and pie-eating contest, with pies from Putnam Farm,” said Root, adding that Interstate Building Supply and Wal-Mart were among businesses that donated prizes. “It will be fun!” she said. “It’s a family-oriented event so people should bring their kids. Admission to the event is $20 and children under 12 are free. Proceeds benefit the shelter’s medical needs. “We’ve been inundated with animals all summer,” said Root. “We’ve even had to take some to the larger shelters, which are also overloaded.” Root said adoptions go down in summer because people are often travelling. The shelter still had to care for medical needs such as spaying, neutering, medicine and more. ‘We’ve had a lot of vet bills this summer,” said Root. “We had a ton of spays and neuters and Dakin couldn’t get us in fast enough so Southwick (VCA) has been working with us. But, it’s been a tough summer, financially.” Polverari, who donated and built the shelter last year, wanted to help Root replenish the medical account and organized the Mystery Road Rally. Root said she currently has six dogs and 20 cats available for adoption. The shelter is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. – 3 p.m. and by appoitnment after hours and weekends. Reservations are encouraged but not required. Call Polverari at 413-531-0336 or the shelter at 413-569-5348 ext. 649 for more information or to RSVP.

dling such powerful weapons. “We have better safety standards for who gets to ride a roller coaster at an amusement park,” said Gerry Hills, founder of Arizonans for Gun Safety, a group seeking to reduce gun violence. Referring to the girl’s parents, Hills said: “I just don’t see any reason in the world why you would allow a 9-year-old to put her hands on an Uzi.” In 2008, an 8-year-old boy died after accidentally shooting himself in the head with an Uzi at a gun expo in Westfield. Christopher Bizilj was firing at pumpkins when the gun kicked back. A former Pelham police chief whose company co-sponsored the gun show was later acquitted of involuntary manslaughter. Dave Workman, senior editor at thegunmag.com and a spokesman for the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, said it can be safe to let children shoot an automatic weapon if a properly trained adult is helping them hold it. After viewing the video of the Arizona shooting, Workman said Vacca appeared to have tried to help the girl maintain control by placing his left hand under the weapon. But automatic weapons tend to recoil
upward, he noted. “If it was the first time she’d ever handled a full-auto firearm, it’s a big surprise when that gun continues to go off,” said Workman, a firearms instructor for 30 years. “I’ve even seen adults stunned by it.” Scarmardo said his policy
of allowing children 8 and older to fire guns under adult supervision and the watchful eye of an instructor is standard practice in the industry. The range’s policies are under review, he said. Associated Press Writer Gene Johnson contributed to this report from Seattle.

Duncan Hunter on ISIL: Guys in pajamas By Kendall Breitman Politico.com Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) says the terrorist group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant is not a direct threat to the U.S. homeland. “ISIS in Iraq and Syria is not an existential threat to us. They’re not going to harm the United States,” Hunter said Tuesday on Fox News’ “The Kelly File.” ISIL is also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. “They’re bad guys, yes, but a bunch of guys wearing pajamas pushing up logs, they are not an existential threat to us like North Korea is, like Iran is, like Pakistan is.” Hunter’s comments came during a discussion with host Megyn Kelly on Douglas McAuthur McCain, an American who is said to have been killed in Syria while fighting for ISIL. News that dozens, perhaps hundreds, of westerners have joined ISIL is fueling fears that fighters with passports from western nations could enter the United States to commit acts of terror. “The only threat that lies with [ISIL] is if they can get people back in the United States to do harm to us here and commit acts of terror,” Hunter said. “You’re always going to have disaffected youth, you’re always going to have that pull to join something greater than yourself,” he added. “People like me join the United States Marine Corps, people like McCain join ISIS.” After the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, Hunter joined the Marines and became the first Marine veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to serve in Congress. In order to quell this threat, Hunter also suggested securing the southern border of the U.S. and denying visas “in totality” to people from the Middle East for the time being.
Big Food to divulge chemical info By Helena Bottemiller Evich Politico.com Food companies are trying to beat the federal government’s push to make chemicals in food more transparent. The Grocery Manufacturers Association, which represents America’s biggest food companies, announced a major new initiative Wednesday that will give the Food and Drug Administration access to a large database of safety information for chemicals commonly used in processed foods, from Twinkies to almond milk. Pressure has been building on FDA for years to look more closely at food chemicals, which are mostly self-approved by food companies relying on publicly available science and panels of industry-paid experts. But the agency hasn’t gotten around to it. The move makes GMA look good. But even the sharpest critics of how the food manufacturers uses food chemicals, whose safety assessments are often not shared with FDA, are welcoming the voluntary industry move. So is the agency. “It’s certainly a step forward,” said Tom Neltner, a health scientist for the Natural Resources Defense Council, who was briefed on the plan. Neltner has been among the most vocal critics of the current approach to determining the safety of food ingredients, publishing several studies on the issue in the past few years. “It’s good to see them acknowledge some of the problems with the system and take some positive steps forward,” said Neltner. “We’re glad to see them making that move.” Leon Bruner, chief science officer at GMA, said he views the initiative as “a big step forward for the industry.” See Big Food, Page 5

GOP poll of women: Party ‘stuck in past’ By Jake Sherman and Anna Palmer Politico.com A detailed report commissioned by two major Republican groups — including one backed by Karl Rove — paints a dismal picture for Republicans, concluding female voters view the party as “intolerant,” “lacking in compassion” and “stuck in the past.” Women are “barely receptive” to Republicans’ policies, and the party does “especially poorly” with women in the Northeast and Midwest, according to an internal Crossroads GPS and American Action Network report obtained by POLITICO. It was presented to a small number of senior aides this month on Capitol Hill, according to multiple sources involved. Republicans swore they’d turn around the party’s performance with women after Mitt Romney’s loss in 2012. And while they are in good shape in 2014, poised to pick up seats in the House and possibly take the majority in the Senate, the new report shows that they have not improved their standing with women — which could exacerbate their problems if Hillary Clinton is the Democratic nominee in 2016. The report — “Republicans and Women Voters: Huge Challenges, Real Opportunities” — was the product of eight focus groups across the country and a poll of 800 registered female voters this summer. The large-scale project was a major undertaking for the GOP groups. “The gender gap is hardly a new phenomenon, but nevertheless it’s important for conservatives to identify what policies best engage women, and our project found multiple opportunities,” said Dan Conston, a spokesman for the American Action Network. “It’s no surprise that conservatives have more work to do with women.” Republicans in D.C. say they recognize the problem. Republicans who have seen or been briefed on the polling were not surprised about the outcome. The poll was conducted by Public Opinion Strategies and Axis Research. Paul Lindsey, the spokesman for Rove-backed Crossroads GPS, said, “There are a number of House policymakers and staff who have been willing to focus on issues important to women, and we think it’s important that they are aware of the policy solutions that are available to help address these concerns.” The solutions offered include neutralizing Democratic attacks that the GOP doesn’t support “fairness” for women; “deal honestly with any disagreement on abortion, then move to other issues”; and “pursue policy innovations that inspire women voters to give the GOP a ‘fresh look.’” The report is blunt about the party’s problems. It says 49 percent of women view Republicans unfavorably, while just 39 percent view Democrats unfavorably. It also found that Republicans “fail to speak to women in the different circumstances in which they live” — as breadwinners, for example. “This lack of understanding and acknowledgment closes many minds to Republican policy solutions,” the report says. The groups urge Republicans to embrace policies that “are not easily framed as driven by a desire to aid employers or ‘the rich.’” Two policies former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor promoted as a way to make inroads with middle-class women
and families — charter schools and flexible work schedules — were actually the least popular policies among female voters. Republicans have long had a troubled relationship with female voters, but this report, which comes out just months before Election Day, is the most recent detailed illustration of the problem. Republicans have several initiatives to attract female candidates and voters. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington, the No. 4 House Republican, for example, is spearheading her chamber’s effort. The Republican National Committee is trying to engage women in 25 “targeted counties for the midterm election,” a spokesman said. One bright spot is among married women. Married women without a college degree view Republicans favorably, the polling shows. Married women prefer a Republican over a Democrat, 48 percent to 38 percent. “Just like a gender gap exists, a marriage gap also exists,” Conston said. “While young unmarried women have always skewed liberal, the polling found married women across the country are far more likely to be conservative and are receptive to center-right policies.” But the GOP appears to have a long way to go when it comes to capturing a significant slice of the female electorate. Even on fiscal matters — traditionally the party’s strongest issue set — Republicans hold only slight advantages that do not come close to outweighing their negative attributes. The GOP holds a 3 percent advantage over Democrats when female voters are asked who has “good ideas to grow the economy and create jobs,” and the same advantage on who is “fiscally responsible and can be trusted with our tax dollars.” When female voters are asked who “wants to make health care more affordable,” Democrats have a 39 percent advantage, and a 40 percent advantage on who “looks out for the interests of women.” Democrats have a 39 percent advantage when it comes to who “is tolerant of other people’s lifestyles.” Female voters who care about the top four issues — the economy, health care, education and jobs — vote overwhelmingly for Democrats. Most striking, Democrats hold a 35-point advantage with female voters who care about jobs and a 26 percent advantage when asked which party is willing to compromise. House Republicans say jobs and the economy are their top priorities. Andrea Bozek, a spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee, said the party’s candidates “across the country are speaking directly to female voters both on the campaign trail and in their television ads.” But in Washington, Republican policies have failed to sway women — in fact, they appear to have turned women off. For example, the focus groups and polls found that women “believe that ‘enforcing equal pay for equal work’ is the policy that would ‘help women the most.’” “Republicans who openly deny the legitimacy of the issue will be seen as out of touch with women’s life experiences,” the report warned, hinting at GOP opposition to pay-equity legislation. It’s the policy item independents and Democrats believe will help women the most. See Poll, Page 5

Scam artist ordered to pay restitution By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A city man was ordered to pay restitution to two autism charities in Westfield District Court Wednesday. Richard Greenaway, Jr., 32, of 14 Sycamore Street, submitted to facts sufficient to warrant a guilty finding on two counts of larceny over $250, charges that were amended from larceny by false pretense. A dispatcher with the Northampton Barracks of the Massachusetts State Police, Greenaway was placed on paid administrative leave when he was charged, according to a June piece published by the Telegram and Gazette. Greenaway’s employment status with the department was unclear as of Thursday morning. Greenaway was alleged to have run a fraudulent charity out of his home, Paintballers 4 Autism, a charity which wasn’t registered with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or as a tax-exempt charity with the Internal Revenue Service. In the court’s statement of facts, Greenaway was found to be aware of these requirements and falsely advertised Paintballers 4 Autism as a charity that supported local and national autism organizations, along with child locators and police training. Greenaway’s charity profitted through the sale of paintball equipment which bore the name and logo of the fraudulent organization and tournaments in the area were even organized to benefit the charity.
Big Food “We’re going to communicate to the world that we’re taking the lead on this,” he said. Bruner believes it’s the right time for the food industry to rethink how it approaches food chemicals in part because the entire food safety system is being redesigned under the Food Safety Modernization Act, a bipartisan law passed in late 2010 that aims to prevent foodborne illness outbreaks. Consumer concerns — increasingly amplified on social media and through petition platforms like Change.org — have also reached a fever pitch. “We’re acutely aware of that,” Bruner said. “We want to make sure [consumers] don’t have reason to be concerned.” “We always need to remember that our food supply is the safest in the world and this is just going to make it better,” he said. NRDC, which has upped its food work in the past year, said it will be watching closely to see how the effort is rolled out. “The proof will be in the pudding,” according to Neltner. The group believes FDA should be reviewing the safety of any new food chemical before it goes into food products in the market. As it is, companies can review current science and use the compounds under a Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) determination without agency approval. There are about 10,000 chemicals allowed in food products, 43 percent of which have been deemed generally recognized as safe, according to the Pew Charitable Trusts. GMA’s effort doesn’t mean FDA will be approving all food chemicals, but it will give regulators much more access to safety determinations, something NRDC strongly supports. “We think FDA needs to review [new food chemicals] for safety and sign off in some way,” Neltner said. Buthe is very pleased that GMA’s board has committed to ensuring new safety determinations are shared with FDA — it’s voluntary for a company to do so, and many companies don’t. “That’s a big step,” he said. GMA’s own database will focus primarily on new GRAS ingredients or new ingredient Can You Help Sarah?
Court documents confirm that Greenaway received material donations from equipment suppliers and that he even appeared on several “multimedia venues” touting Paintballers 4 Autism. After being caught by an Internet promoter, Greenaway provided authorities with a videotaped statement in which he admitted to running the scam and only giving $25 to a national charity. He provided authorities with access to a PayPal account used to stash the funds raised by Paintballers 4 Autism and, after examining the account, it was determined that he had spent $4,947.13 of those funds between May 2012 and November 2013. There were also transfers made from the PayPal account to an unknown bank account totalling $9,227.40 and Greenaway provided fraudulent bank and police paperwork to an Internet promoter claiming that $9,425.00 had been stolen from that account, along with a fraudulent receipt from a nationally recognized autism charity indicating donations from Paintballers 4 Autism. Greenaway was given a continuance without a finding until August 27, 2015 and ordered to make two seperate $1,000 restitution payments by Judge Jacklyn Connly to a local organization – Community Resources for People with Autism of Easthampton – and a national organization – Autism Speaks of Princeton, New Jersey – who were found to be victims of larceny.
Continued from Page 4 uses, but will also include some that are currently used in the market. Parts of the database will be made public, but the bulk of the information will only be accessible to FDA officials and GMA members. The association said FDA officials have recently indicated the agency will soon be re-reviewing some ingredients that have been determined to be GRAS over the years, if there’s new science that warrants another look. “GMA members are committed to participating in and contributing to the re-review process,” according to a new code of practice that top industry executives agreed to last week. The FDA responded to GMA’s announcement late Wednesday by saying it supports the push toward better science, but it still encourages companies to voluntarily send the agency their safety determinations, which are posted
online. “We are supportive of any initiative that promotes scientific rigor and transparency to independent GRAS determinations, and look forward to further dialogue with GMA and others in an open exchange of information on independent GRAS determinations to ensure the safety of ingredients added to food,” the agency said in email. The food industry will have a concerted focus on food ingredient safety in the coming years. GMA recently partnered with Michigan State University to launch an ingredient safety research center, and the association is also working on a new industry standard for how exactly food chemical safety determinations should be made. The association hopes to have the new database up and running in 2015 and the new standard, which will be publicly available, out by the end of next year.
By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A groundskeeper at a Westfield country club came to work Wednesday morning only to find several batteries had gone missing and two maintenance carts absent, which were later found in the woods near the course. Police received a call at 6:32 a.m. from Shaker Farms Country Club on Shaker Road reporting the larceny. This marked the second time that morning that authorities had visited the country club, as an officer was out at the course at 3 a.m. after finding a golf cart on the bike path near the Shaker Farms, along with a garage door ajar at the maintenance shed. Westfield dispatchers placed a call to the shed’s keyholder, Nancy Kotowicz, who promptly arrived to secure the building and return the cart. “We had batteries stolen about a month ago
Poll
and they were brand spanking new in the carts, so someone must’ve known how to take them out of a cart,” said Kotowicz, adding that Shaker Farms owns 48 total carts. Kotowicz said that the country club receives a scrap fee for used batteries and puts that money towards the purchase of new batteries. “Someone must have known we had the old batteries ready to go,” she said, adding that new batteries cost about $120 a piece. “Each golf cart has about six batteries on them and they’re only good for three or four years, so we’re buying them all the time.” Kotowicz said that the 22 stolen batteries are covered by insurance, but the Country Club has a high deductable in an effort to save on that expense. While Kotowicz said she couldn’t comment on whether she suspected anyone of perpetrating the heist, she said some members of the Country Club’s maintenance crew have an idea of who is responsible for the thefts.

The groups suggest a threepronged approach to turning around their relationship with women. First, they suggest the GOP “neutralize the Democrats’” attack that Republicans don’t support fairness for women. They suggest Republican lawmakers criticize Democrats for “growing government programs that encourage dependency rather than opportunities to get ahead.” That message tested better than explaining that the GOP supports a number of policies that could help fairness for women. Second, the groups suggest Republicans “deal honestly with any disagreement on abortion, then move to other issues.” And third, “pursue
policy innovations that inspire women voters to give the GOP a ‘fresh look.’” The report suggests lawmakers and candidates inject “unexpected” GOP policy proposals into the debate as a way to sway female voters. Suggestions include ways to improve jobtraining programs, “strengthening enforcement against gender bias in the workplace” and “expanding home health care services by allowing more health care professionals to be paid by Medicare for home health services.” Katie Packer Gage, a political strategist who focuses on improving GOP standing with female voters, said women think of “old, white, right, out of touch” men when they think
of the Republican Party. “I think a lot of folks are whistling past the graveyard on this … Certainly if Hillary is on the top of the ticket for Democrats, it is going to be a significant challenge for us,” she said in an interview. “Maybe we’ll see women on our side that will step up as well. … We have to quit sitting back and taking it on the chin. I think we have to play offense on this.”

ARTSLEISURE The Arts Beat By Mark Auerbach
Broadway Bound in Boston “Finding Neverland”, the musical version of the Harvey Weinstein’s Miramax movie, now playing at the American Repertory Theatre (ART) in Cambridge(through September 28) has “Broadway Hit” written all over it.. Weinstein,who made sure a preview of the musical was included in the Tony Awards, has announced that the musical will open on Broadway next Spring. Meanwhile,the reviews have been mostly favorable, so ART may have its fourth Broadway hit to brag about. (Director Diane Paulus helmed the successful ART transfers of “Hair”, “Porgy and Bess” and “Pippin”). Based on the Miramax
motion picture by David Magee and the play “The Man Who Was Peter Pan” by Allan Knee, “Finding Neverland” follows the relationship between playwright J. M. Barrie and the family that inspired”Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up”, one of the most beloved stories of all time. “Finding Neverland” has music by U.K. pop sensation Gary Barlow (Take That) and choreography by Mia Michaels (“So You Think You Can Dance”). Jeremy Jordan of Broadway’s “Newsies” stars. (Hartford theatre goers may recall his performance in TheaterWorks’ “The Little Dog Laughed” in 2008).

Warner plays the Poitier part, in Todd Kreidler’s stage adaptation of the movie, directed by David Esbornson. The cast also includes Tony Award winner Adriane Lenox,Julia Duffy and Will Lyman. ”David Esbjornson brings a striking contemporary perspective to classics that allow us to experience them in new and unexpected ways,” says Huntington Artistic Director Peter DuBois. “After David’s astonishing production of All My Sons at the Huntington in 2010, I can’t wait for him to return and reveal the emotional and social immediacy of the ideas raised by this landmark film.” For tickets: 617-266-0800 or www.huntingtontheatre.org

the end… but I’ll get to that). Given the chance to headline this festival, Godsmack jumped at it, especially with the release of their latest, 1000hp. The band opened with Generation Day before moving right into their classic Cryin’ Like a Bitch. Locked and Loaded, Keep Away and The Enemy followed before Godsmack played a something off the new one. Lead singer Sully Erna encouraged the fans to continue banging into one another and to make the entire floor a mosh pit as his way of introducing the
new tune Something Different. The first single off the new release, 1000hp, came next with a full pyrotechnic display throughout the song. The band played most of their hits like Straight Out of Line, Awake, Speak and Voodoo. The set actually ended on what is normally their second to last song of the night. As the band finished playing the song Whatever, singer Erna, in supposed disgust of the sound quality the band was getting, threw the mic stand down and walked off the stage. The band never came back to finish with

what was supposed to be their encore, I Stand Alone. From a fan’s standpoint, overall this was a very good show. All the bands tonight were great and seem to give their all. Godsmack disappointed a little with what seemed like an uninterested attitude in playing the Mohegan Sun arena, walking off the stage in disgust and not finishing out their set. I can’t say I heard anything really wrong with their sound, but clearly Sully Erna did and made a visual point of letting everyone know about it. I will definitely check out 3 Years Hollow, Pop Evil and Skillet when the opportunity arises in the future.

By Mike Augusti Correspondent UNCASVILLE – A light version of the Rockstar Uproar festival made its way to the Mohegan Sun Arena this past Wednesday night. The Uproar Fest usually travels with ten or more bands, has multiple stages and is an all-day event. This show had four bands and lasted a couple of hours… but was worth every minute of it. Show openers 3 Years Hollow were a late addition to the evening as two bands from Canada were unable to get their passports straightened out to make the show on time. What a lucky break for 3YH. Touring in support of their recent release, The Crack, 3YH played a 30-minute set of flat out rawk tunes. These guys are starting to get some steady radio play and look and sound like they belong playing some bigger stages… more to come on 3 Years Hollow. Hard rawkers Pop Evil took the stage next with a very explosive 35-minute set. Lead singer Leigh Kakaty had the crowd involved from start to finish with some catchy choruses and rawk star moves. Although the band has three releases, most of the material played was from their 2013 release, Onyx. Onyx charted as high as 39 on the Billboard top 200 and also saw the band have two number one songs hit the hard rawk charts. The band was solid on Sick Sense, Trenches and Deal With the Devil. They had the entire crowd singing along on their most recent hit, Torn to Pieces. I could easily see this band headlining arenas at some point. Another album with some big hits will make that happen. Christian Rawkers Skillet had a huge fan base show up for this show. The band came out to a roar from the crowd and they didn’t let them down. Skillet has been around since 1996 but has just recently gained a large following by putting out successive releases with some big hits on them. Skillet was given the luxury of an hourlong set that included tunes from most of their releases and really focused on the last three. The band’s sound has definitely changed over time and with each release they seem to get a little edgier and harder with their songs. Whispers in the Dark, Sick of It, Awake and Alive, Rise and Comatose had the band sounding their best. They ended their set with the rawkers Monster and Rebirthing. This band is all about the fans. If you follow them on Facebook they will generally announce a time and place to meet with fans before or after the show. Boston mega stars Godsmack headlined this show and are the headliner on the entire Uproar fest tour. As the headliner Godsmack had the biggest stage and the best sound of the night (except for

Missing Pilot Continued from Page 1
Keefe said the pilot was operating the air superiority aircraft at high elevation, around 40,000 feet, to conserve fuel when the pilot declared an inflight emergency and contact was lost. Keefe said he had not received confirmation that anyone had reached the crash site, which he said was in mountainous terrain. The crash site is between 3,000 and 4,000 feet above sea level. “There is an on-going rescue mission involving local police and fire personnel, federal agencies and the Virginia National Guard which is pushing forces into the crash area,” Keefe said. “The Virginia National Guard and Air National Guard are securing the accident scene and have dispatched helicopters to look for the pilot.” Subsequently there were reports of dark smoke being seen around the aircraft’s last known whereabouts. Local law enforcement arrived on scene and confirmed the aircraft crashed. Keefe said that the pilot of a small aircraft witnessed and reported the crash. “We don’t know the status of the pilot,” Keefe said. “The aircraft crashed in a heavily wooded area. An emergency command center has been established five to six miles away from the crash site because of the terrain.” “Communication is difficult because it’s a very remote location,” Keefe said. “There are no cell towers and radio communication is difficult.” “We are hopeful that the pilot is OK, and the pilot will be in our thoughts and prayers as the events of this incident unfold,” said Keefe. “Our first concern is the welfare of the pilot’s family. We have been in contact with the family.” Police say they located the crash site in Deerfield, about 135 miles northwest of Richmond. The area around Deerfield is rural with rocky, steep terrain. Residents near Deerfield — with a population of just 130 people, about 135 miles northwest of Richmond — say they heard a series of explosionslike booms. Turkey farmer A.D. Shinaberry said that from the first two booms, he thought a plane had broken the sound barrier. But 10 seconds later he heard a third boom — the crash, he said. Then, “it was like a mushroom, black smoke came up,” Shinaberry said. From the smoke, Virginia State Police said, they located the crash site, in a heavily wooded but level area adjacent to a mountain in the George Washington National Forest. A deep crater and a large debris field are on the site, and state police are searching, spokeswoman Corrine

Geller said. “It is probably five, six miles from the crash site to the nearest civilization,” Keefe said. “It’s deeply wooded, and a lot of hills and mountains.” “It’s the loudest noise I’ve ever heard,” 63-year-old Rebecca Shinaberry, who lives on a farm about two miles away, told The Associated Press. “(It) just shook the ground and from my house we could just see a big plume of smoke.” Keefe said the pilot “is very experienced. Guard pilots usually have more flight time than active components pilots.” The pilots routinely train “every six months for ejections,” Keefe said. They are also trained to survive on the ground after ejecting from their aircraft. Keefe said there has been no communication from the missing pilot, but added that pilots are also trained to drop their survival gear, which includes communication devices such as radios and satellite phones, as they approach the ground to prevent it from getting hung up in trees. “This is a traumatic event for everyone here,” Keefe said. F-15s are maneuverable tactical fighters that can reach speeds up to 1,875 mph, according to the Air Force

website. The F-15C Eagle entered the Air Force inventory in 1979 and costs nearly $30 million, the website says. The Air Force has nearly 250 of them. Keefe said the 104th flies the newest version of the F-15c introduced into the Air Force inventory in 1986. The 104th Fighter Wing operates 18 F15-c models and two F-15 D models which are ground support fighter jets and which carry both a pilot and a weapons officer. Several F-15s have crashed over the past few years in various states. In at least one, the pilot ejected safely. Causes included failure of a support structure for the jet and pilot error. Alan Suderman of the Associated Press contributed to F-15C executing a maximum performance takeoff. (wiki/ http://www.jcmd.jte.osd.mil/systems.htm archive version) this report.

Westfield field hockey looks to take next step coach in her league, was to make the Western Massachusetts Tournament. Once her team made it to the preliminary round, Gomez set her sights on the quarterfinals. Now, coming off a tough, 2-0 loss to Agawam in last season’s tournament quarterfinals, Gomez said she won’t be happy with anything short of a berth in the semifinals, or even the final. “Every year, we’ve gone to
at least the preliminary round,” Gomez said. “Last year we fell short to Agawam in the quarters, and now we need to work, and we need to take that extra step. We want to make it beyond the quarters, get to at least the semis if not the final. Last season was our best season so far, but we’re ready to go forward and build off that.” Gomez and Assistant Coach Linda Rowbotham have cre-

ated quite the program in Westfield in the hopes of building a powerhouse that will stand the test of time. Instead of separating junior varsity and varsity, the two coaches believe in letting the players practice and play against each other, creating a strong sense of competition and giving some much-needed experience to the younger players. “We have a lot of players that have moved up to varsity from junior varsity this year, and we have 18-19 girls that came over from the Westfield Warriors youth program, so I think it gives us a really nice, strong core and a great feeder system,” Gomez said. “Linda and I have a different philosophy because we look at field hockey as a program. It’s not, this is the varsity team, and this is the JV team. We have two different teams, yes, but we practice together and we work together. It makes it so everything is pretty interchangeable. If I need to look down and I need a JV player I need to come up for a game, they know all of our plays, and they are familiar with the terminology, so it’s a nice transition.” Rowbotham said that Westfield’s JV field hockey team has been one of the tops in the league, which she attributes to the concept of running a program. “We don’t separate the girls, so the younger players

Senior Elizabeth Marcyoniak stops to hit the ball as Diana Shia (background) looks on. (Photo by Jeff Hanouille) are forced to play with the older players,” Rowbotham said. “When you play against tougher competition, you’re forced to play at a higher level, so it helps the younger players get better.” While the Bombers lost four juniors who decided to pursue work or focus on academics, a handful of sophomores have made their way up the ranks through junior varsity to the varsity team. “We have a bunch of rising juniors and seniors,” Gomez said. “We’ve got a solid core of seniors leading us, like Madison Brockney and Amanda Boudreau in the midfield, and the Onyski twins (Cara and Christina) along with Liz Marcyoniak and Des Otero. Karly Mastello is a four-year varsity keeper who will be between the pipes for us again, and she’s going to be our backbone. I think she is the most talented goal keeper in our league.” Gomez said Westfield’s biggest challenge this year will be on offense, as Lexi Minicucci and Ashlee Owen,
the leading scorers on last year’s team, are now both in college. “We need to work on our offense and we need to work on our scoring,” Gomez said. But despite that, Gomez said she’s ready for her team to start making some more noise in western Massachusetts. “I think the league’s pretty much wide open,” she said. “Obviously, (defending Western Massachusetts Tournament Champion) Longmeadow is going to be very strong, but I think we will be able to hold our own.” The Bombers open the 2014 season at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 2 vs. South Hadley at Westfield High School and close out the first week of the season with a rematch of last year’s tournament quarterfinal game against Agawam at 4 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 5 at Agawam High School. The schedule doesn’t get any easier to start the second week, as Westfield will host Longmeadow at 4 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 8.

Jose Bautista homered for the second straight night, a two-run drive in the first. With Boston leading 2-1, Edwin Encarnacion doubled off Joe Kelly starting the seventh, and left-hander Tommy Layne (0-1) relieved. Dioner Navarro’s at-bat was prolonged when catcher David Ross dropped his foul popup for an error, and Navarro singled. Right-hander Junichi Tazawa came in, and Valencia turned on a 2-0 pitch for his first home run since Toronto acquired him from Kansas City on July 28. Eight of 20 home runs off Tazawa in his big league career have been hit by Blue Jays batters. Marcus Stroman (8-5) allowed two runs — one earned — and five hits in 7 2-3 innings.

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Verry Blessed, But Hurt Dear Annie: My boss insists that all of her employees eat lunch with her in the cafeteria every day. She really gets out of whack if we decide to use our “unpaid” time to do what we want. She says we aren’t team players if we don’t eat together. And for the most part, lunch is all about her. She controls the conversation, which is all about her life. Today, she shared that she scolded a family member for bringing their cell phone to the family dinner table. A few of us at the table had cell phones with us at the time. I don’t know how to handle this. We’re a small operation and can’t avoid one another. I think I should be able to text my kids during my lunch hour. She can’t stand to be argued with and never apologizes. We all need our jobs. What can we do? -Cornered in N.Y. Dear N.Y.: It is unfortunate that your boss is so clueless and narcissistic. Does she have a supervisor? If so, that is the person to whom you need to direct your complaint. You also could approach your boss as a group, perhaps sending her a letter signed by everyone, explaining that lunch together is nice, but you also need a break during the day to handle personal things that come up while you’re at work, and you don’t want to do it on company time. You can ask whether she would be willing to set aside half of the lunch hour for personal time and let her know how much all of you would appreciate it. But only you can assess how much you value this job and what you risk by pursuing this. Dear Annie: Last year, my siblings loaned my father a decent sum of money, and Dad has yet to pay them back. I was not in a position to help then, but since that time, knowing my father has had financial issues (notably as a result of his poor decisions), I have helped in smaller ways, mostly by buying food for him. Recently, Dad started dating a woman and has talked about various vacations they have taken and trips they are planning. My siblings don’t live around here and are not as close to Dad, so they have no idea where the money is going. Although I don’t want to get in the middle, I think they have a right to know that Dad could be paying them back in some small measure rather than using the money for vacations with his girlfriend. I sure would want to know. -- F. Dear F.: Are you sure Dad is paying for these excursions? It’s quite possible the new girlfriend is paying for these trips. You can ask him why, if he has money to spare, he’s not giving it to your siblings, and yes, you can mention to your siblings that Dad went on a trip or two. But we don’t recommend you chastise Dad or rile up your siblings. They may be delighted that he’s getting out and enjoying his life, and the money might not be that important to them. Or they may have loaned him the money without expecting repayment. Any argument about those loans should be between your siblings and their father. No good will come of you putting yourself in the middle. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Just Saying,” the diabetic woman who wants to bring her own food into a restaurant. She should understand that the owners are not being rude by not allowing it. It is a health violation. There is nearly always an item on the menu that someone with diabetes could eat or ask to have prepared in a way that wouldn’t violate their diet. Those items might not be the person’s first choice, but they are adequate compensation for the ability to share a table with her friends, and next time, they can go to a place of her choosing. -- Common Sense Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net
HINTS FROM HELOISE QUICK-FIX FOOD Dear Heloise: I keep a bottle of my favorite Italian-style salad dressing in my pantry all the time. This “can do” liquid helps make a delicious meal. I marinate chicken before baking and add to cooked pasta and vegetables for a delicious pasta salad. And I place cut-up meat in the slow cooker, add some salad dressing and put it on rolls for a dinner sandwich. -- Janet D. in Indiana These are all clever uses for Italian dressing and examples of how cooking can be fun and easy when experimenting in the kitchen. I like to add different spices and substitutes in recipes. (However, my husband, David, does question some of my “tests.”) Many of my hints and recipes are in Heloise’s Seasonings, Sauces and Substitutes pamphlet. To order one, please send $3 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Seasonings, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Another simple marinade for meats is equal parts soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. -Heloise ROASTING PAN Dear Heloise: The roasting pan is not just for chicken anymore. I love cooking spaghetti in it, and it’s great for corn on the cob. It’s my new favorite pan to cook with. The shape of the pan just works better for many foods. I have a stainless-steel one, but I’m sure any type would work. -- Claire in Florida Many people use this hint, especially if cooking for a crowd. Readers, try it, and you may discover that you have a new cooking tool. -- Heloise

YOUR
HOROSCOPE

By Jaqueline Bigar
DOG EAT DOUG
Brian Anderson
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Aug. 28, 2014: This year you will gain financially if you avoid taking risks. A special friend or relationship might encourage you otherwise. Learn to say “no,” and don’t respond to pressure. You are in the last year of a 12-year life cycle. Play around with what has not worked for you in order to enter the next cycle with an open mind. If you are single, date someone for quite a while before considering making a commitment. Observe a tendency to attract emotionally unavailable people. If you are attached, the relationship benefits from time spent alone as a couple. Plan on enjoying several long weekends away together. LIBRA can be a sounding board for you. 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 Listen to what seems like a whisper. Your intuition will kick in as your creativity opens the door to what could be a challenging new possibility. Walk through the door and wave hello to newness and excitement. Tonight: Try not to accept any more responsibility. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You could be more in tune with a child, roommate or friend who allows greater give-and-take between you and someone else. You could find that answers will lead to even more questions. The unexpected plays a big role in making plans. Tonight: Play it nice and easy. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Your imagination will prove to be a gift when dealing with others. You add extra zest to conversations. Allow greater give-and-take between you and someone you consider to be fun. The unexpected could factor into a partnership. Tonight: Love the moment. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Listen to news, and be more decisive than you have been in the past. Recognize what has made you feel so forthright and clear; you will be able to use this ability in the future when you want to clear up a confusing situation. Tonight: Make weekend plans. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You often are in touch with many people. Your biggest problem might be how to deal with an overflow of calls and requests without offending anyone. Try to keep a low profile. Understand that you might need to also ask for some help. Tonight: Relax with a friend. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH You could be vested in the outcome of a financial situation. Trust yourself to sort through a problem and come to a workable solution. A loved one or dear friend will need to be given some slack, as this person appears to be a bundle of nerves. Tonight: On top of your game. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Be attentive to someone’s requests, and stay responsive to his or her style of communication. Your understanding will be in high demand with many people. Someone you care about allows you to grow to a new level of understanding. Tonight: Play it low-key. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Your ability to understand more of what is happening will emerge. Revamp your approach to a particular matter with the knowledge that something better lies ahead. Your sense of humor will make a demanding matter palpable. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH You are full of energy, and this allows greater give-and-take between you and others. A meeting could carry more punch than you had thought possible. Understanding is likely to evolve to a new level as a result. Tonight: Get into weekend mode. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH You could be exhausted by everything that is happening, but a key person in your life will feel revived. The unexpected might occur, and it will allow you to take another look at what is going on in your life. Tonight: Be intensely involved in whatever you do. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Know your limits. Excitement seems to resound throughout the day. Keep a perspective, even if you become triggered. Detach if you feel overwhelmed. Take a walk or call a friend to help you relax. Tonight: Consider taking a quick trip before fall gets here. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Do your best to make headway with a project that has been

thwarted. Pace yourself, and know full well what is happening around you. Listen to what someone else has to share; you might have an unexpected opportunity for financial gain. Tonight: A must appearance.

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.
