Woman Sheds Light on Autism at State House By LORI SZEPELAK Correspondent WESTFIELD – Jamie Curran is “excited” to share her story – and passion of wanting to help others with disabilities – today in Boston with State House legislators. Curran was selected by Massachusetts Advocates for Children (MAC) to provide testimony about her experience as a former Mass Inclusive Concurrent Enrollment Initiative (MAICEI) student when two bills among 49 will be presented during a hearing of the Joint Committee on Higher Education. Rep. Patricia A. Haddad, D-Somerset, is sponsoring H.634, and Sen. Barbara A. L’Italien, D-Lawrence, is sponsoring S.698 – both Westfield resident Jamie centering on “allowing Curran will present testimony persons with intellectual today at the Massachusetts disabilities (ID) and State House in support of bills autism to access state creating higher education colleges and universities opportunities for students with to gain skills necessary intellectual disabilities and to work and live independently in the commuautism. nity as adults.” Sherry Elander, M. Ed., special education teacher and transition specialist with the Westfield Public Schools, will join Curran to support her, along with Julia Landau, an attorney and senior project director at MAC. “I am very proud of this young lady,” said Elander. Landau echoed those sentiments. “Jamie’s testimony will illustrate to lawmakers the opportunities for young people when doors to higher education are opened further for them,” said Landau, adding that state residents are encouraged to contact their local state representatives in support of these bills. “Western Massachusetts has been at the forefront for supporting these measures, especially Westfield State University, Holyoke Community College, and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.” On Tuesday afternoon at Westfield State University, Curran, now 22, discussed the highlights of her testimony. She attended Paper Mill and North Middle schools, and received a certificate of completion in 2013 from Westfield Technical Academy. Curran is the daughter of Lynn and Kevin Curran. “I know I will be nervous when I start reading my testimony,” said Curran, noting she has practiced several times with Elander since three minutes are allotted for each person speaking. Since 2007, hundreds of young people with disabilities similar to Curran’s have successfully been included in college through the state’s “groundbreaking” grant program called MAICEI, according to Johanne Pino, project coordinator, MAC. The two bills will allow state colleges and

Police investigating series of breaking and enterings By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent SOUTHWICK – The Southwick Police Department is currently investigating a series of breaking and enterings that have happened over the past few weeks. On Wednesday, the department posted a statement about it on their Facebook Page. “Suspects have entered homes through windows, windows with air conditioning units in them and/or forcefully opening doors while the home is vacant. There have been NO reports of any B&Es while any of the homes were occupied. Suspects in these cases seem to be after small items such as jewelry, cash and smaller electronic devices.” Chief Ricardi and the rest of the department are requesting that residents be aware of any suspicious vehicles or people in their respective neighborhoods. People should write down any license plates that individuals feel are suspicious and hand them over to the police. Southwick Police is also asking the community to not approach anybody that may be suspicious and to leave that to the police. Ricardi is all too familiar with this particular issue occurring at this time of year. “We experience this every summer,” said Ricardi. “We will do our due-diligence to keep an eye on it.” The Southwick Police Department is also strongly suggesting residents to keep a close watch on their neighbor’s homes while they’re at work or on vacation. A couple of tips include informing your neighbors that you’re leaving so they can keep a good eye on your home and try not to post pictures on social media of you being on vacation until you get back home. Lastly, secure your belongings while not home. If you have any concerns about a suspicious person, vehicle, or a breaking and entering, call Southwick Police at 413569-5348.
By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent SOUTHWICK – A bicyclist was hit by a vehicle at the intersection of College Hwy and Bugbee Road around 3:15 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon. Although the name of the victim hasn’t been released, the bicyclist has been identified as a teenage girl. Southwick Police and Fire closed off College Hwy for several hours after the accident, while the Massachusetts State Police Reconstruction Team investigated. According to Communications Director James Leydon of the Hampden County District Attorney’s Office, the vehicle was traveling down Route 10 and 202 on College Hwy when it collided with the bicyclist. The teenage girl was taken to Baystate Medical with serious injuries. There is no update at this time of the status of the victim. The Westfield News will give an update once more information is released as Massachusetts State Police continues to investigate.
Westfield Fire responds to propane leak on Cycle Street By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent WESTFIELD – Late Wednesday afternoon, the Westfield Fire Department arrived to the area of Cycle Street after they had received a call from a neighbor that a propane tank was leaking at a nearby home. Immediately sending a full response team to investigate the situation, the team found that the propane tank was fully venting, which meant it was venting its product into the atmosphere. According to Deputy Fire Chief Patrick Egloff, they put a fog nozzle onto the propane tank and then shut off the valves on the tank in order to remove the hazard that was leaking. The Westfield Fire Department evacuated at least 10 homes in the neighborhood and allowed them to return once the situation was deemed safe. Egloff mentioned that this specific issue could have resulted in a vapor explosion. “If it did catch on fire, that would have been extremely dangerous,” said Egloff. Egloff credits the experience and knowledge that the response team had with a leaking propane tank. “Through training, this was a routine call for us.”
Rainy summer, Risk of illness rising By NICK LOMBARDI WSU intern ‘18 WESTFIELD – The summer’s frequent rainstorms are a welcome change after last year’s drought, but this may have negative consequences to public health. Dr. Brian Sutton, Emergency Medicine Specialist at Noble Care Express, says that the warm, wet air can increase the spread of mosquitoes in places where standing water is not drained, and as a result, can spread deadly diseases like West Nile Virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE).
Both diseases have flu-like symptoms and can cause severe illness or death. The best way to protect yourself, Sutton said, is to keep your living area clean and remove standing water that can collect in outdoor vases, pet water bowls, old tires, birdbaths, trash cans, and buckets. If you’re planning an evening out, wear long sleeves or pants to prevent mosquito bites. This time of the year our pets are at risk as well. Domestic animals can be infected with West Nile Virus, and EEE virus infection spreads among horses.
Cats and Dogs can also get heartworms from mosquitoes, so be sure pets are up to date with their heartworm pills. Outdoor pets can also get sick from drinking stagnant water. If your yard is close to the woodlands, where puddles collect, then this can happen. Not only our pets, but we must keep children from playing in stagnant water. If ingested, stagnant water can cause one of many diarrhea illnesses, some of which can be fatal like Shigella or See Summer Illness, Page 5

Mom wants apology over McDonald’s slide covered in poop MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — A woman says her 5-year-old son came down a slide at a McDonald’s playground in New Hampshire covered in poop. Justina Whitmore took to Facebook to recount the incident and complain that staff at a Manchester McDonald’s didn’t take the problem seriously and ignored her pleas for help. She wants an apology. Whitmore says she was eating when her son came over covered in human waste. She says he had been playing tag with a boy who had a soiled diaper. The restaurant owner told The Associated Press on Wednesday that they “looked into this matter and have taken all appropriate internal actions, as well as reiterated proper protocol with our team.” The Manchester Health Department allowed McDonald’s to reopen the play area the next day after it was cleaned and disinfected.

O
n July 13, 1977, a blackout hit New York City in the mid-evening as lightning strikes on electrical equipment caused power to fail; widespread looting broke out. (The electricity was restored about 25 hours later.)
ON THIS DATE: In 1787, the Congress of the Confederation adopted the Northwest Ordinance, which established a government in the Northwest Territory, an area corresponding to the eastern half of the present-day Midwest. In 1793, French revolutionary writer Jean-Paul Marat was stabbed to death in his bath by Charlotte Corday, who was executed four days later. In 1863, deadly rioting against the Civil War military draft erupted in New York City. (The insurrection was put down three days later.) In 1939, Frank Sinatra made his first commercial recording, “From the Bottom of My Heart” and “Melancholy Mood,” with Harry James and his Orchestra for the Brunswick label. In 1955, Britain hanged Ruth Ellis, a 28-year-old former model convicted of killing her boyfriend, David Blakely (to date, Ellis is the last woman to be executed in the United Kingdom). In 1960, John F. Kennedy won the Democratic presidential nomination on the first ballot at his party’s convention in Los Angeles. In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson nominated Thurgood Marshall to be U.S. Solicitor General; Marshall became the first black jurist appointed to the post. (Two years later, Johnson nominated Marshall to the U.S. Supreme Court.)
In 1972, George McGovern received the Democratic presidential nomination at the party’s convention in Miami Beach. In 1978, Lee Iacocca was fired as president of Ford Motor Co. by chairman Henry Ford II. In 1985, “Live Aid,” an international rock concert in London, Philadelphia, Moscow and Sydney, took place to raise money for Africa’s starving people. In 1999, Angel Maturino Resendiz (ahn-HEHL’ mah-tyooREE’-noh reh-SEHN’-deez), suspected of being the “Railroad Killer,” surrendered in El Paso, Texas. (Resendiz was executed in 2006.) In 2013, a jury in Sanford, Florida, acquitted neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman of all charges in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager; news of the verdict prompted Alicia Garza, an AfricanAmerican activist in Oakland, California, to declare on Facebook that “black lives matter,” a phrase that gave rise to the Black Lives Matter movement.
TEN YEARS AGO:
Former media mogul Conrad Black was convicted in Chicago of swindling the Hollinger International newspaper empire out of millions of dollars. (Black was sentenced to 6½ years in federal prison, but had his sentence reduced to three years; he was freed in May 2012.) Family prayer services and a huge public outpouring in Austin, Texas, ushered in three days of memorial ceremonies honoring the late Lady Bird Johnson.
FIVE YEARS AGO:
His credibility under attack, Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney insisted he had “no role whatsoever in the management” of Bain Capital, a private equity firm, after
early 1999, and demanded that President Barack Obama apologize for campaign aides who persisted in alleging otherwise. JPMorgan Chase said its traders may have tried to conceal the losses from a soured investment bet that embarrassed the bank and cost it almost $6 billion — far more than its chief executive first suggested. Movie producer Richard Zanuck, 77, died in Beverly Hills, California.
ONE YEAR AGO:
With emotions running raw, President Barack Obama met privately at the White House with elected officials, law enforcement leaders and members of the Black Lives Matter movement with the goal of getting them to work together to curb violence and build trust. Theresa May entered No. 10 Downing Street as Britain’s new prime minister following a bittersweet exit by David Cameron, who resigned after voters rejected his appeal to stay in the European Union.

US governors meet to discuss challenges facing their states PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — More than half of U.S. governors are meeting this week to discuss the biggest challenges facing their states. Those include the possibility of major changes to Medicaid and states' health insurances marketplaces under the Republican health care plan in Congress, the ongoing opioid epidemic and the impact of climate change. The National Governors Association is holding three days of meetings in Providence, beginning Thursday. Vice President Mike Pence and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are expected to address the gathering. Governors from about 30 states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands have said they'll attend. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell plans to introduce a revised health care bill Thursday that the vice president says will "begin the end" of former President Barack Obama's health care law. Connecticut Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, who is attending the summer meeting, said there's no way he can support any version of a revised Republican health care bill. "Their plan is to kill health care," he said. Malloy said Republicans in Congress would do so by phasing out the subsidy many states used to expand Medicaid and by ending pre-existing condition protections, all to pay for a tax cut for the wealthiest Americans. Malloy, chairman of the Democratic Governors Association, said there are other ways to save money on health care. States could be allowed to run health insurance exchanges in cooperation with one another, for example, Malloy said. Virginia Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe and Massachusetts Republican Gov. Charlie Baker jointly wrote a letter in late June to McConnell, asking him to give states sufficient time to review any proposed legislation before proceeding. McAuliffe said Wednesday night that there has still been no outreach to the governors on health care reform. "I'm just disappointed that they have not reached out to us, the people who have to run these programs in the states," said McAuliffe, chairman of the National Governors Association. "We know these programs better than anybody because we deal with them every day. And we know how it affects our budget. We know how it affects our citizens and we have some very good ideas." A governors-only session at the summer meeting will give the chief executives a chance to ask questions of U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price and Seema Verma, the administrator of the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. But, McAuliffe said, that's not outreach if McConnell already has unveiled the revised bill. McAuliffe would like to see states be given more flexibility and authority to implement policies to bring costs down and cover more people. Governors at the meeting Thursday said they're looking to make sure their residents keep their health care coverage. Nevada Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval said he wants to protect people who were covered through the expansion of Medicaid and ensure costs aren't shifted to the states, though he is concerned about the stability of insurance markets. "Nevada has benefited as a result of the expansion. People are living healthier and happier lives," he said. "I'm going to be watching very carefully." Alaska Gov. Bill Walker, an independent who identifies as a conservative, said he wants to make sure Alaskans are not hurt as a result of the bill.

universities to establish guidelines governing admission as well as course selection and enrollment. Also, the bills would require that the goals, mission statements and performance measures of state colleges and universities provide for the inclusion of students with ID and autism, and would address steps to support inclusive dormitory living. Additionally, the bills would codify the MAICEI grant program and allow the special education process to consider higher education as an option for students with disabilities who are 18 to 22. Task force recommendations have noted that students would “greatly benefit” even though they would not earn a college degree, added Pino. As part of her testimony, Curran said she will explain her experiences as a student for two years at Westfield State University under the MAICEI program. “I took four classes, Social Work, Psychology, Art, and Introduction to Students with Exceptional Learning Needs,” said Curran. “I really enjoyed Social Work because I learned the meaning of social justice and the code of ethics that social workers must follow.” Those classes – as well as participating in campus activities including dances, going to the library and fundraising events – expanded her view of the opportunities awaiting her. “I had homework for the first time and my education coach helped me a lot, but I also did some at home as well,” said Curran. Lyndsey Nunes, Westfield State’s MAICEI program coordinator, worked closely with Curran to ensure her success. “Jamie is a remarkable young woman,” said Nunes. “Her drive and motivation to succeed and outperform all expectations is inspiring. I greatly admire her passion to enhancing the lives of others with disabilities.” Curran noted that when she first started at Westfield State, she used the PVTA van. “My ed coach taught me how to use the van and with my new freedom, my confidence began to grow,” said Curran. “Shortly after beginning college, I began studying for my driver’s permit and by the end of my last semester, I had my license and drove myself.” As Curran continues her studies to earn her GED through Domus, Inc., she also relishes her first job which is working in the Dining Commons at Westfield State during the school year. “I enjoy interacting with the students,” said Curran, adding she has also learned important customer service, organizational and food safety skills. Presently, she is working one-on-one this summer with an 8-year-old girl at Kamp for Kids on Russell Road. “She’s a sweet girl,” said Curran, noting that time is spent each day experiencing a variety of programs including art and walks on the nature trail. “We’re a team and set goals together – including finishing the entire nature trail by the end of the summer.” As Curran anticipates her next endeavors – at press time – she was awaiting a call from the Open Society Foundations, based in New York, since she had applied for a Fellowship to work on increasing opportunities for individuals who have participated in MAICEI programs. “Young adults who don’t have their diploma or cannot pass the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System deserve the right to full employment opportunities,” said Curran. “I want to be able to change my community, to be an inclusive and diverse place, a community that accepts everybody no matter their level of education.” Curran added there is a “significant need” for change for all individuals with disabilities to have a “chance in the world like any other person.” Curran said her proposed Fellowship project – which she expects would be a full-time endeavor for one year – would bring people together who are committed to helping other young adults like herself to achieve their dreams of paid employment in careers they enjoy and where they can excel. “I want to live on my own someday and going to college helped me to realize that I can do things, anything when I put my mind to it,” said Curran. This ambitious young woman has also envisioned her “dream job” – after successfully completing her GED requirements. “My future plans include working with students with disabilities and I hope to be employed by the Westfield Public Schools as a paraprofessional someday,” said Curran, noting she worked as a substitute paraprofessional for Elander at the East Mountain Road site from March through June of this year. When Curran wraps up her testimony she hopes her three minutes will enlighten legislators to what is possible when individuals are given a chance at higher education. “From my own experiences I have observed the need for increased advocacy, networking, and educating others about people’s abilities,” said Curran. “I know how to speak up for myself in different situations and self-advocate. Going to college gave me the experience of being a part of the student life on campus and helped me to grow and learn.” As Curran notes she has grown “tremendously” over the past few years, she hopes her message of inclusiveness makes an impression with lawmakers. “I know from my own experience how much of a difference MAICEI made in my life,” said Curran. “I think about upcoming students who have intellectual disabilities or autism and am proud that I can show what can happen when people are given a chance.” Nunes concurred. “More young people with intellectual disabilities should consider this program because it is an opportunity to attend a fully inclusive college program that will greatly enhance their self-determination skills,” said Nunes.

Lawmakers intend to question Trump campaign chairman By CHAD DAY by ERIC TUCKER Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The scope of congressional investigations into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential contest came into sharper focus on Wednesday as lawmakers said they intended to question the former chairman of the Trump campaign and to determine whether Russian social media "trolls" were connected to Trump's election efforts. The Senate Judiciary Committee plans to question former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and will subpoena him if necessary, according to the panel's Republican chairman, Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa. He said he and the committee's top Democrat, Dianne Feinstein of California, have agreed to try to bring Manafort before the panel for questioning about the government's enforcement of a law requiring registration of foreign lobbyists. Feinstein's office confirmed that they plan to question him. Manafort would certainly also be asked about his participation in a Trump Tower meeting last June with President Donald Trump's eldest son and son-in-law, where the purpose was to hear potentially damaging information about Hillary Clinton from a Russian lawyer. Manafort disclosed the meeting in a package of information he provided to the Senate and House intelligence committees, who have been investigating potential coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign, as is Robert Mueller, the former FBI director appointed by the Justice Department as the special counsel. "Obviously it would be appropriate for anybody to get into anything that went on at that meeting, and he was at that meeting," Grassley told Iowa reporters. A person close to Manafort said that he hasn't yet received a letter from the committee about a possible interview. The person spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss Manafort's private interactions with the committee. Separately, Rep. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the House intelligence committee, said his panel wants to look at the use of Russian social media "trolls" and whether they were connected to the Trump election campaign. That concern is "certainly something we want to explore," along with the Trump campaign's data analytics, Schiff said. Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, oversaw digital strategy for the campaign. "One of the biggest crimes we're looking at is the hacking of data, so understanding how it was used certainly needs to be part of the investigation," said Rep. Eric Swalwell, another Democratic member of the committee. "We want to understand what data was hacked, where it was stored and if it was weaponized at all, whether it was by Russia or the campaign." The lawmakers spoke one day after Donald Trump Jr. disclosed on Twitter a series of emails that revealed his eagerness to hear negative material on Clinton from a Russian lawyer. The exchange showed Trump Jr. conversing with a music publicist who wanted him to meet with a "Russian government attorney" who supposedly had dirt on Clinton as "part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump." He was told the Russian government had information that could "incriminate" Clinton and her dealings with Russia. "If it's what you say I love it especially later in the summer," Trump Jr. said in one email response. In an interview before departing Wednesday evening for France, Trump told Reuters that he didn't know about the meeting "until a couple of days ago when I heard about this." He also said that he didn't fault his son for attending. "I think many people would have held that meeting," he said. Trump also said in a tweet that his son was "open, transparent and innocent" and again dismissed the ongoing Russia investigation as the "greatest Witch Hunt in political history." But Trump also refused to dispute an assertion made by Russian President Vladimir Putin that Trump believed him when he said that Russia hadn't meddle in the election during their lengthy meeting in Germany last week. "Look. Something happened and we have to find out what it is, because we can't allow a thing like that to happen to our election process," Trump said. But he added of Putin: "Somebody did say if he did do it you wouldn't have found out about it. Which is a very interesting point." Trump also questioned whether Putin was really gunning for his victory, as U.S. intelligence agencies have concluded. "It's really the one question I wish I would have asked Putin: Were you actually supporting me?" Trump said. The president's attorney, Jay Sekulow, said in an interview with NBC's "Today" that Trump Jr. did not violate any laws by accepting the meeting. Sekulow said the president was not being investigated by Mueller. "I would know a little bit about it. I'm one of the lawyers," Sekulow told ABC's "Good Morning America." As the emails reverberated across the political world, Trump Jr. defended his actions in an interview with Fox News, blaming the decision to take the meeting on the "million miles per hour" pace of a presidential campaign and his suspicion that the lawyer might have information about "underreported" scandals involving Clinton. Trump Jr. said the meeting "really went nowhere" and that he never told his father about it because there was "nothing to tell." "In retrospect I probably would have done things a little differently," Trump Jr. said. Investigations into possible collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign have shadowed the White House for months. Still Trump remains defiant. "There was zero coordination" between his campaign and Russia," he told Reuters, adding: "It's the dumbest thing I've ever heard."
Trump says he’ll be ‘angry’ if Senate health care bill flops By ALAN FRAM Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Wednesday he will be "very angry" if the Senate fails to pass a revamped Republican health care bill and said Majority Leader Mitch McConnell must "pull it off," intensifying pressure on party leaders laboring to win over unhappy GOP senators and preserve the teetering measure. Trump's remarks came a day before McConnell, R-Ky., planned to release his revised legislation to a closed-door meeting of GOP senators. The new legislation would keep most of the initial Medicaid cuts and makes other changes aimed at nailing down support, but internal GOP disputes lingered that were threatening to sink it. With all Democrats set to vote no, McConnell was moving toward a do-or-die roll call next week on beginning debate, a motion that will require backing from 50 of the 52 GOP senators. Conservative Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said Wednesday he would oppose the motion and moderate Republican Susan Collins of Maine seemed all but sure to do the same — leaving McConnell with zero margin for error to sustain his party's goal of toppling President Barack Obama's health care law. Several other GOP senators were holdouts as well, leaving McConnell and his lieutenants just days to win them over or face a major defeat. In a White House interview conducted Wednesday for the Christian Broadcasting Network's "The 700 Club," Trump said it was time for action by congressional Republicans who cast scores of votes "that didn't mean anything" to repeal the 2010 law while Obama was still president. "Well, I don't even want to talk about it because I think it would be very bad," he said when network founder Pat Robertson asked what would happen if the effort fails. "I will be very angry about it and a lot of people will be very upset." Asked if McConnell would succeed, Trump said, "Mitch has to pull it off." Trump has played a limited role in cajoling GOP senators to back the legislation. Asked Wednesday about the president's involvement, White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters the White House was providing "technical assistance." McConnell's new bill was expected to offer only modest departures from the original version. Its key elements remain easing Obama's requirements that insurers cover specified services like hospital care and cutting the Medicaid health care program for the poor, disabled and nursing home patients. Obama's penalties on people who don't buy coverage would be eliminated and federal health care sub-
sidies would be less generous. The new package would eliminate tax increases the statute imposed on the health care industry. But it would retain Obama tax boosts on upper-income people, and use the revenue to help some lower earners afford coverage, provide $45 billion to help states combat drug abuse and give extra money to some hospitals in states that didn't use Obama's law to expand Medicaid. Paul told reporters the revised measure didn't go far enough. "I don't see anything in here really remotely resembling repeal," he said. Collins has long complained the measure will toss millions off coverage. Spokeswoman Annie Clarke said Collins would vote no next week "if the Medicaid cuts remain the same" as those that have been discussed. Besides Paul and Collins, at least three other Republican senators publicly said they hadn't decided whether to back McConnell on the initial vote: conservative Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas, Utah's Mike Lee and Tim Scott of South Carolina. Cruz and Lee are chief authors of a proposal backed by other conservatives that would let an insurer sell low-premium, barebones policies as long as the company also sold a plan covering all the services — like substance abuse treatment — required by Obama's law. Their plan has alienated moderates worried it will mean unaffordable coverage for people with serious medical conditions because healthier people would flock to cheaper, skimpier plans. Party leaders have not determined if the proposal will be in their measure, and there have been talks about altering it to limit premium boosts on full-coverage policies. "If there are not meaningful protections for consumer freedom that will significantly lower premiums then the bill will not have the votes to go forward," Cruz told reporters. Lee has said he wants their proposal in the bill, or something else relaxing Obama's coverage requirements, for him to support it. Their proposal endured another blow when the insurance industry's largest trade group, America's Health Insurance Plans, said it would lead to "unstable health insurance markets" and said people with serious pre-existing medical conditions could "lose access" to comprehensive or reasonably priced coverage. Scott said he was still trying to determine if the legislation would help families and consumers with pre-existing medical problems. Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, who has fought to ease the bill's Medicaid reductions, has also yet to commit to back the measure next week. McConnell withdrew an initial package two weeks ago in the face of Republican discord that would have spelled certain defeat.
Afghan girls will be allowed into US for robotics contest WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials will allow a group of Afghan girls into the country to participate in an international robotics competition after President Donald Trump intervened, White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirmed Wednesday, ending a saga that had sparked international backlash. Homeland Security Department spokesman David Lapan said the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services approved a State Department request for six girls from the war-torn country to be allowed in, along with their chaperone, so they can participate in the competition. The girls' applications for U.S. visas had been denied twice. The non-profit organizing the competition celebrated the reversal in a jubilant statement Wednesday. "I truly believe our greatest power is the power to convene nations, to bring people together in the pursuit of a common goal and prove that our similarities greatly outweigh our differences," said Joe Sestak, the president of First Global. He credited "the professional leadership of the U.S. State Department" for ensuring that all 163 teams from 157 countries, including a team of Syrian refugees, would be able to participate. The U.S. State Department had declined to comment on why the Afghan team's visa applications were denied, saying that "all visa applications are adjudicated on a case-by-case basis in accordance with U.S. law." A senior administration official said that Trump raised the issue with his national security adviser, H.R. General McMaster, during his trip to Germany last week for the Group of 20 summit, and had asked for additional options. The State Department and Department of Homeland Security came up with several — with the idea of "paroling" the girls through the Department of Homeland Security ultimately chosen by the National Security Council. The person spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the private deliberations. Parole is a temporary status in which a person who is otherwise ineligible to enter the country is allowed in temporarily because of an emergency or humanitarian purpose, or because
it's deemed to be in the public good. Without the reversal, which was first reported by Politico, the girls would have had to watch via video link from their hometown in western Afghanistan. The girls wanted to show the world that Afghans could also construct a hand-made robot and they had been deeply disappointed by the initial rejections. "When we heard that we were rejected we lost hope," said 14-year-old Sumaya Farooqi. "We applied again for the U.S. visa and we were rejected again." See Afghan Girls, Page 5

Police Logs
Ludlow homicide trial gets started SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A trial of a man charged with the first homicide in a Massachusetts town in nearly a decade has started. The Republican newspaper reports that the jury in the trial of 20-year-old Jorge Concepcion-Pesquera was scheduled to visit the scene of the shooting in Ludlow on Thursday. That was to be followed by opening statements. Concepcion-Pesquera is charged with murder in the March
2016 shooting of Larry Santiago, who was shot multiple times as he sat inside a vehicle outside a bar. Police say the victim and suspect knew each other but have not disclosed a motive. It was Ludlow's first homicide since 2007. Concepcion-Pesquera disappeared after the shooting but turned himself in in New York City about a week later. His attorney says it's a case of mistaken identity.
Nurses trying to return to work after strike are locked out

BOSTON (AP) — A nurses’ strike at a Boston hospital has turned into a lockout. The 24-hour strike by about 1,200 nurses at Tufts Medical Center ended at 7 a.m. Thursday. About 100 nurses tried to return to work when the strike ended but were turned away by hospital security staff. The members of the Massachusetts Nurses Association continued to picket with updated signs. The nurses have been locked out by the hospital until 7 a.m. Monday because about 320 temporary nurses hired to care for patients during the strike have a five-day contract. The union and the hospital are at an impasse over staffing levels, pay and retirement benefits. The sides have been negotiating since April 2016. It was the first nurses’ strike at a Boston hospital in more than three decades.

Afghan Girls Farooqi and her teammates faced seemingly insurmountable obstacles to even get to a point where they could seek permission to attend. It took them six months to prepare, often working seven days a week, as they constructed a robot that sorts balls, has the ability to recognize orange and blue colors, and can move objects to put them in their correct places. The girls traveled from their homes in Herat after convincing family members to let them go — no small feat in a country where young girls are often discouraged from pursuing academic study, especially in hard sciences such as math. They made the 800-kilometer (500-
Continued from Page 4 mile) journey to the U.S. Embassy in Kabul twice because their applications were denied the first time, even though that location was targeted by a deadly truck bomb on May 31 in which more than 150 people were killed and more than 400 others wounded. War-torn Afghanistan has faced a series of large-scale attacks as the Taliban stepped up its war against the Kabul government in this year's summer offensive. In addition, the emerging Islamic State group affiliate in Afghanistan has tried to increase its footprint with attacks in urban areas. Afghanistan is not part of Trump's
order to temporarily ban travel from six Muslim-majority countries. Teams from Syria, Iran and Sudan — which are on that list — were granted visas to compete. Members of the team from Gambia were also granted visas after initially being denied. First Global, a not-for-profit charity, holds the annual international robotics challenge in hopes of sparking a passion for science and technology among high school students around the world. It is an "Olympics"-style competition in which one team from every nation is invited to participate. It takes place July 16-18 in Washington, D.C.

Dark night WESTFIELD – As both Westfield Post 124 and Agawam Post 185 packed up and headed for the parking lot, one fan asked “Where was that last out? I didn’t see it.” No, that fan was not checking his phone or otherwise preoccupied – he just could not see Jacob Colapietro’s line out to short with the tying run on third because it was 8:40 p.m. and it was dark. That happens when you play 11 innings. Westfield lost its first American Legion Baseball playoff game Tuesday night 6-5 in extra innings, finishing in near darkness at Jachym Field. The double-elimination tournament continues Thursday night against Monson Post 241 at Jachym Field at 5:30 p.m. The game was originally slated to take place Wednesday but was postponed. Behind 5-3 after the fifth, Agawam scored single runs in the sixth and seventh – the tying run coming with two outs in the seventh – before completing its comeback in the 11th. A lead-off triple to right-center and a Westfield throwing error on the relay gave Agawam the lead. In the bottom of the darkness, Anthony Riga was hit by a pitch leading off the inning. Brett Turbin went in as a pinch runner and was immediately bunted to second by Adam Kearing. Nick Clegg grounded out to second, moving Turbin one base closer, before Colapietro’s hard liner ended it. Westfield took a quick lead in the first when Matt Hastings scored from third on an high throw to second trying to get Stefan Krol, who was stealing after reaching on a two-out single. Agawam used a pair of singles and a pair of walks to take a 2-1 lead in third before making it 3-1 with a single run in the fourth. Post 124 finally broke through in the fifth, scoring four runs on four hits. Steve McKenna singled to open the inning and moved to second on a wild pitch. Riga put runners on the corners. McKenna was thrown out at the plate trying to score when the third baseman bobbled Kearing’s ground ball. Clegg’s infield single loaded the bases. Colapietro walked to bring in Riga and Matt Hastings long sacrifice fly to center scored Kearing to tie the game 3-3. J.D. Huntley singled in Clegg. Colapietro scored on an Agawam error. It would be Westfield’s last run for the night, although they had plenty of chances. In the sixth, Westfield had three men on base, but the inning was wiped out by a double play. In the eighth, Huntley beat out an infield single. Pinch runner Andy Daniels was bunted to second by Krol and Jack Blake was intentionally walked. Daniels got as far as third, but that was it. With one out in tenth, Brian Campbell was hit by a pitch and Krol walked, but Westfield never got the ball out of the infield. – Courtesy of Westfield Post 124
Storming ahead WESTFIELD – Storms knocked out the entire slate of All-Star tournament games Wednesday, setting up a blockbuster billing for Thursday night. Westfield American and Westfield National will collide in the Little League Baseball 12-Year-Old championship at Ralph E. Sanville Field on Cross Street, beginning at 6 p.m. In Babe Ruth Baseball, the Whip City’s 14-Year-Old All-Star team will battle Pittsfield for the right to represent Massachusetts in the eastern regionals. The finals will take place at Bullens Field at 5 p.m. The 13-Year-Old championship, featuring Pittsfield and Blackstone Valley will follow at 7:30 p.m. The Westfield Little League Softball Juniors play at Worcester in the sectional championship, while the Westfield 11-Year-Old All-Stars (1-1) travel to Easthampton (1-1) for the third game in the best-of-5 district series. First pitch for both games is 6 p.m. The Juniors sat through an hour rain delay before officials decided to officially postpone the game to Thursday. In American Legion Baseball postseason action, Westfield Post 124 hosts Monson at Jachym Field at 5:30 p.m.

Dear Annie By ANNIE LANE
Sitter Woes Dear Annie: I recently called a friend to see whether her college-age daughter, “Tiffany,” could baby-sit for my 1 1/2-year-old granddaughter from 6 to 8 p.m. on a Saturday so I could attend a reception at a local club. I didn’t hear back at first, but three days before the event, I finally talked with Tiffany, and she said that she would be available. We discussed exact times, and I asked what she would charge. She didn’t have a set rate but thought $10 per hour would be fine. Having not paid a baby sitter for many years (I’m a new grandmother), I said that I thought the rate should be $5 per hour but that I would check with my daughter to see what she pays. My daughter confirmed that the average rate today is between $10 and $15 an hour. Thus, I planned to pay the $10 per hour (and thought I would probably give a tip, too), but I did not have a chance to call the sitter back until the morning of the event. Her mother answered the phone and said that other plans had come up for her daughter, and the mother had told her to go with the “other plans” because I had not gotten back to her on the rate. I was hurt and in total shock, not only because our families are very good friends but also because I did not think that the rate was a deciding factor. My husband is in an assisted living facility, and I spend a great deal of time with him, which ties up most of my days, which they knew. The mother is forever telling me to take time off and have some time to myself, which I thought that I was doing. My questions to you are: Who is wrong? Should I feel hurt? Was I wrong to not get back to her until the morning of the event about the rate? I was disappointed and hurt that the mother had not advised her daughter to call me, because she is forever saying that she tries to teach her children how to be responsible. I feel that I was let down and can no longer trust this family. -- Heartbroken and Hurt Grandmother Dear Heartbroken: Three things are certain in life: death, taxes and flaky baby sitters. You must really make a point of expressly confirming details with your sitter. I don’t blame Tiffany for thinking that you didn’t want her to baby-sit anymore. Think of it from her point of view. The last thing she’d heard from you was that her rate might be too steep and that you’d look into it. She probably assumed you’d found a cheaper sitter or decided not to use one after all. In any case, I think you’ve taken the whole incident too much to heart. Your friend did not mean to hurt you. It seems as if this carried the weight it did for you because you were really looking forward to a night to yourself -- a rare occurrence. I would encourage you to make such “me time” less rare. Get out and socialize. You can’t be properly supportive of your husband if you aren’t supportive of yourself and your own needs. Dear Annie: Please do not use the term “golden years” when referring to a person’s retirement. Do some research about ageism in our language and what to avoid saying in order to make progress in this area. There are articles on the subject online. Euphemisms are not helpful in making progress. -- An Oregon Reader Dear Oregon Reader: Thank you so much for bringing that to my attention. I hadn’t realized how that phrase could come across as condescending, but you can bet I’ll keep it in mind now. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators. com.

HINTS FROM HELOISE CREATIVE COFFEE Dear Heloise: My boyfriend loves good coffee, and I’d like to serve him some creative coffees, except that I’m a total klutz in the kitchen. Do you have any ideas or recipes on how to make plain coffee a little more interesting? Please, nothing complicated or where I have to go buy a fancy machine. -- Joan E., Maplewood, Minn. Joan, I have several recipes, but one of my personal favorites is Mocha Coffee: 1/2 cup instant coffee granules 1/2 cup sugar (or equivalent measure using a sugar substitute) 1 cup powdered milk or powdered creamer (nonfat creamer also is OK to use) 2 tablespoons cocoa powder Mix the ingredients together and store in a labeled container. Just mix with hot water when ready to use. If you like this recipe, I have several more you can try in my Flavored Coffees and Teas pamphlet. Just go to my website, www. Heloise.com, to order one, or send a stamped (70 cents), selfaddressed, business-size envelope, along with $3, to Heloise/ Coffees & Teas, P.O. Box795001, San Antonio, TX 782795001. There are few things more enjoyable than sipping a warm cup of coffee or tea with friends. It just makes life more enjoyable. -- Heloise
DJ Kennington spins out coming out of Turn 4 in the early laps of the NASCAR Cup auto race at Daytona International Speedway, Saturday, July 1, 2017, in Daytona Beach, Fla. (AP Photo/John Raoux)
Kennington balances family, snow and Daytona TORONTO (AP) — DJ Kennington always comes prepared to drive, whether it's racing at the Daytona 500 or clearing snow off Ontario's highways. Kennington, who in February became the first Canadian to qualify for Daytona in 29 years, will compete in the NASCAR Pinty's Series' Grand Prix of Toronto as part of this weekend's IndyCar stop. The 39-year-old from St. Thomas, Ontario, who balances racing with his work for the Township of Southwold roads department, wound up 36th out of 40 drivers in Daytona after getting caught up in a wreck. But competing on NASCAR's biggest stage still resonates. "When I got back from Daytona, the bosses, they gave me a plaque that said I was the fastest snowplow driver in Ontario," Kennington told The Canadian Press. Kennington was the first Canadian since Trevor Boys in 1988 to compete in the marquee NASCAR event when he claimed one of two open slots in the race. The qualifying duel is something
that Kennington will never forget. "Other than my kids being born, it was probably the biggest moment in my life," Kennington said. "I don't think I'm better than anybody else as far as driving, anything like that. I just think I'm a very fortunate person to have had that opportunity." Kennington received over 300 text messages that evening. He was running 14th when he the crash ended his day on Lap 127. Kennington was 4 when his father — Canadian Motorsports Hall of Famer Doug Kennington — put him in a kart and he became hooked from there. He started racing full-time at 16 and his dad has been with him every step of the way. "He's not only my best friend, he's my hero," Kennington said. "He's been my life partner, right by my side in everything I've done. ... He's 77-yearsold now and still in the shop at 5:30 in the morning and still out there at seven o'clock at night helping us." While his dad helps get the No. 17
car ready, his mom looks after his two kids — one 4 and the other 19 months — while he and his wife go to work at 6:30 in the morning. Family suppers are a priority if at all possible. "A lot of times I'll get the kids to bed with my wife and then climb in bed with her and we'll be watching a little TV program," he said. "And I'll wait till she falls asleep and then I'll go right back out to the shop again." It's been a solid season so far for Kennington, who's a two-time NASCAR Pinty's Series champion. He enters Saturday's race seventh in the driver standings including two top-five finishes in four starts. Kennington returned to Daytona for the Coke Zero 400 on July 1 but didn't finish the race after engine problems. He said he has three more races planned for NASCAR's top series later this year with Premium Motorsports, including a start at Talladega. "It's tough, it's a big grind, but once you get in that thing and strapped in, it's heaven," Kennington said.
‘Big Bang’s’ Melissa Rauch pregnant after miscarriage LOS ANGELES (AP) — "Big Bang Theory" star Melissa Rauch is expecting her first child with her husband, screenwriter Winston Rauch. The actress revealed her pregnancy in an essay for Glamour magazine in which she also opens up about a miscarriage she suffered. She writes that she's "terrified at the moment that it will happen again," but is making the news public before someone sees her pregnant and announces the news first. She says the miscarriage "was one of the most profound sorrows" she has ever felt and led to a bout with depression. The 37-year-old Rauch says the experience has changed her forever and hopes it will make her a better mother. Rauch plays Dr. Bernadette Rostenkowski-Wolowitz on the CBS sitcom.

Sevenars 49th anniversary season Sunday, July 16 at 4 PM: Emmanuel Feldman, cello and Joy Cline Phinney, piano Cellist Emmanuel Feldman and pianist Joy Cline Phinney, brilliant musicians individually, are known together through recitals and recordings on Albany and Delos labels. Mr. Feldman has been called “an outstanding cellist and truly dedicated artist” by composer John Williams and praised by Gramophone for “communicative urgency with tonal splendor.” Soloist with leading orchestras, performer in Europe, the US, and on radio and a dozen recordings, he is also a renowned teacher at the New England Conservatory. Pianist Joy Cline Phinney, one of the busiest chamber musicians today, collaborates regularly with members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, Cleveland Orchestra, and many others. She holds Bachelor and Master degrees from Juilliard and a doctorate from Peabody. Her recent season included appearances on both coasts and with the New York Philharmonic’s Merkin Hall Chamber Music Series. Their program will include Beethoven, Brahms, Gershwin, and the great African-American composer, George Walker. Sunday, July 23rd at 4 PM: Alexis Walls, violin, and Lynelle James, piano Alexis Walls achieved recognition as soloist with orchestra at the Kennedy Center while still a teenager at Juilliard’s PreCollege. Founder of the Kende Trio with her sisters, she performed internationally, notably for Pope John Paul II. Currently Director of the World Youth Alliance Chamber Orchestra in New York and founder of the Manhattan String Orchestra, she has led these exciting ensembles at prominent venues internationally, including the United Nations. Lynelle James, a “truly fine musician” (Boston Musical Intelligencer) has been lauded by the press since age 8, playing in New York and with the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra in NZ. She has performed in Weill Hall at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Steinway Hall, and in festivals and halls across the United States, New Zealand, Canada, and Italy, along with lectures and master classes. Her debut CD (Blue Griffin label) has just been released and is already being greeted with tremendous excitement. These two stellar friends unite in Brahms, Kreisler, Bartok, and Fauré! Sunday, July 30 at 4 PM: Greenwood Chamber Players, flute and strings The Greenwood Chamber Players first delighted audiences at Sevenars in 2015 as a tribute to beloved festival member Robelyn Schrade-James who reveled in her chamber experiences at the Greenwood Music Camp, Cummington’s nationally-known musical gem. It has become annual! These stunning players, including faculty and friends of Greenwood, triumphed with their first-rate playing as well as their winning personalities. We are so thrilled to have them back! The musicians include leading players of the nation’s concert stages, led by dazzling young flutist Christina Jennings (“an extraordinary musician” American Record Guide) and exceptionally gifted violist Matthew Dane. Returning with them this year, and well-known to Massachusetts audiences, are brilliant New Bedford concertmaster Jesse Holstein and amazing, versatile Smith College cellist Volcy Pelletier. These vibrant and energetic players will thrill you with an inspired program of trios and quartets, with the centerpiece being Beethoven’s incomparable Serenade, Op. 25 for flute and strings. Also included are works by Lutaslawski, Sibelius, Cimarosa, and Andrew Norman. Sunday, August 6th, at 4 PM: Jerry Noble and Friends! A favorite – yet always refreshed – tradition, this concert features the inimitable Clifton “Jerry” Noble, Jr. with the talents of legendary jazz clarinetist Bob Sparkman and dynamic young classical cellist Christopher James. Bridging styles and generations, Mr. Noble, nationally sought-after as both composer and pianist is unmatched. His more than twenty years of jazz collaborations with clarinet wizard Bob Sparkman have become a local treasure, resulting in five immensely popular CD recordings. Mr. Sparkman developed his golden phrasing playing with The Jazzmen, The Bourbon Street Six, the Gotham Jazz Band, and Fats Waller’s trumpeter Herman Autry (among others). Christopher James, alumnus of Tanglewood, Soundfest, and Bard festivals, returns from a season playing in four orchestras in New York, with performances at Symphony Space, Lincoln Center, and Weill Hall. He will perform one of the greatest jewels of the classical repertoire, Elgar’s Concerto, Op. 85, in Elgar’s own pianocello version. With some bossa novas and a Bengali surprise with special guests to be announced, there should really be something for everyone! Sunday, August 13th at 4PM: Rorianne Schrade, piano Returning after a five-year hiatus from solo recitals necessitated by family matters, Rorianne plays a preview of her New York recital, September 19, Weill Hall at Carnegie Hall. In response to her 2011 recital in London’s Wigmore Hall, Rorianne was praised for “mastery of one aspect of keyboard playing after another” (Max Harrison, Musical Opinion) and for “An Outstanding Evening” (Headline, Music and Vision Daily) by Bill Newman, who likened her to the great György Cziffra and to Claudio Arrau “at the height of his performing powers.” Her October 2011 All-Liszt (200th Anniversary) recital at Weill Hall elicited a review (RobertaOnTheArts. com) stating that “Rorianne Schrade is one of the most dynamic, impassioned pianists I’ve seen in live performance in years.” Rorianne’s 2016-17 season included teaching, collaborations with colleagues, and concerto performances at Steinway Hall in NY. Her program will include Mozart, Beethoven, Pärt, Liadov, Scriabin, Glazunov, Kapustin, Rachmaninoff, and Tchaikovsky-Feinberg.
