Senate to debate gun bill By Peter Francis Staff Writer BOSTON – The Senate Republican caucus and several Senate Democrats met with Jim Wallace, executive director of the Gun Owners Action League of Massachusetts, to discuss amendments to a gun safety bill which will be up for debate today. While the House’s version of the bill passed last week on a 11238 vote, and both bills require schools to have access to two-way communication DONALD with HUMASON JR. devices police and fire departments and mandate that Massachusetts joins the National Instant Background Check System, Sen. Don Humason, Jr. (R-Westfield) said that the sticking point between the House and Senate is the power given to the local authorities in granting licenses to carry firearm identification cards. “It was always the situation in Massachusetts where the police chief – the licensing authority – had to issue FIDs but didn’t have to issue licenses to carry,” he said. “The House bill extended the discretion of the chiefs to not offer an FID card.” Humason referred to the bill as a “poison pill” for law-abiding gun owners. “The chiefs who are the issuing authorities already have so much \

Westfield River Levee trail endorsed By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Flood Control Commission supports the city’s desire to construct a multi-use trail on top of the Westfield River Levee that will strengthen the flood control structure. MARK The Westfield CRESSOTTI River Levee protects a large area of the downtown, stretching from Williams Riding Way off Meadow Street in the east to Congress Street, off Route 20 where Franklin Street transitions into Russell Road on the west. City Engineer Mark Cressotti presented details of the multi-use trail project to the Flood Control Commission members last night. Commission Chairman Albert G. Giguere Jr., said that board “is all for it” because the trail will improve the structure of the levee. “If the city has access to DOT (Department of Transportation) funding for paving the top of the levee it makes it more stable instead of the (present) dirt top which erodes and disintegrates,” Giguere said. “And another use for the levee is good.” Cressotti said this morning that the Westfield River Project is still years from being a viable project and that the city is intent on completing construction of the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail project before the levee See Levee Trail, Page 3

North Pond land preservation mulled Officers By Peter Francis Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – The town of Southwick’s Open Space Planning Committee met last night to discuss the possibility of preserving 140 acres of land on Lake Congamond’s North Pond. “It was a scoping meeting. We have a potential opportunity to preserve some land on North Pond,” said Dennis Clark of the committee. “We’re trying to put it out there, talk to the other committees and towns to get them on board with this to see if they’re also in favor of preserving the land out there – the shoreline and the property surrounding it.” The committee is partnering with the Commonwealth’s Department of Fish and Wildlife, who own 250 acres next to the 140
acres in question, the location of one of the wildlife management areas. The DFW is interested in preserving some of the acreage for bird habitat for endangered species like Sand Pipers and Sparrows. Their goal is to form a landtrust with the town of Southwick to keep the lake frontage safe from development. “Right now, North Pond is the most pristine pond in the lake, and a lot of people use it for recreation,” Clark said. “If it got built up, it would change everything.” Clark said that the land was the proposed site of a resort venue during better economic times, but that the owner has had a change of heart. “We talked with the owner back many years ago about putting some sort of resort back there,” he said. “The person who owns the land would like to see something good happen with
it other than a subdivision, so the person who owns the land is working with us at this point to preserve it.” The committee is in the process of approaching the town’s Community Preservation Committee for funding for the preserve. “Chris Pratt, chair of the Conservation Commission, is contacting the Trust for Public Land, and I’m going to contact some of the other boards and commissions and get in touch with the Parks and Rec Department,” said Clark. “We’re going to make sure that they’re interested in this and sponsoring it, along with the Lake Management Committee and the Board of Health. It’s a big project and we’re going to need everybody in town on board to go forward with it.”
Residents oppose Chestnut Street duplex By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Zoning Board of Appeals voted last night to continue a public hearing because of issues cited by both residents and board members during the presentation of a proposal to construct a two-family house on Chestnut Street. Brian Kolodziej of 128 Quarry Road, West Springfield, is seeking a dimensional special permit to construct the two-family structure at 13 Chestnut which is currently a vacant lot. The original house was gutted by a fire which started on the second floor, where marijuana was being cultivated with the use of extension cords, for grow lights, which overheated the electrical system, sparking the fire. Board member Martin E. Newman questioned if a 50-foot wide house was appropriate for the Chestnut Street neighborhood “that has narrow and deep houses.” Newman objected to the fact that the attached garage extends past the front of the house, while garages are typically behind the houses on that street Board Chairman Michael Parent asked Kolodziej “is there any way to modify your plan to make (the proposed house) look like any other houses in that neighborhood?” “There must be plans out there. You just have to look at the neighborhood,” Parent said. “One of the requirements we have to find to approve a special permit is that the proposed project be conducive with the existing neighborhood.” Parent requested that the petitioner return to the September 3 meeting with a modified plan. “We want it to conform a little more with the neighborhood,”
Parent said. “It’s a little problematic for us with the way it looks in that neighborhood.” David H. Mahler of 11 Chestnut St., a direct abutter, said he opposed the duplex plan on the grounds that the former house had been converted illegally from a single-family to a two-family and that the proposed building will be 10 feet closer to his house than the former structure. The proposed duplex design “is completely different from the neighborhood,” Mahler said. “I don’t want a two family that close to my house.” Principal City Planner Jay Vinskey said he will investigate the conversion of a single-family to a two-family house with Building Superintendent Jon Flagg “because if the former two-family house was not legal, there is no precedent to construct this (new structure) as a two-family.” Robert Eck of 7 Chestnut St., said the proposed duplex “is so out of whack with the neighborhood, Dave is not the only one objecting.” Jodie Gaugh of 18 Chestnut Street said there are no other twofamily houses on Chestnut Street. “I would just think we don’t need any,” she said. Helen Mahler of11 Chestnut Street said that the house now on Chestnut Street “are considered historic.” Another resident said the houses are all Victorian in design and are on the city’s list of historic structures. “You can see that there is some resistance even before we brought it up,” Parent said to Kolodziej. “So make an effort” to revise the building design to be more compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.
ready to ride By Carl E. Hartdegen Politico.com WESTFIELD – Organizers of the Ride to Remember, a charitable effort organized by members of the Springfield Police Department, are getting ready for their second annual effort to raise public awareness of officers who have died in the line of duty and, although the actual bicycle trip across the state will not start until September, the planning and fundraising has started. The ride was originally organized to honor Springfield Officer Kevin Ambrose and Westfield Officer Jose Torres, officers who died recently while serving the public, and last year’s riders arrived on the grounds of the Massachusetts State House at Jose Torres Ashburton Park in Boston in time for the unveiling of their names on the Massachusetts Law Enforcement Memorial there. Funds raised by the first bicycle ride were donated to the effort to maintain the memorial and the Ride to Remember will continue to support the memorial but part of the money the officers raise will also be donated to local charities. Several events are planned before the riders head to Boston this year, on Sept. 20, and the next event will be on See Ride, Page 3

Police: Arrested man ordered pizzas to station CORBIN, Ky. (AP) — Police in southern Kentucky say they got a surprise delivery after charging a man with shoplifting — five pizzas showed up at the station. Officers say 29-year-old Michael Harp asked to make a call on his cellphone Tuesday afternoon while being booked in Corbin. A short time later, police say, a pizza delivery driver showed up to deliver to “Officer Wilson,” the name of the officer who arrested Harp. Police say they linked the call to Harp by tracking his cellphone number. Harp told Lexington statioin WKYT-TV (http://bit.ly/1mjWJ6t) it’s all a misunderstanding and that “about 10 people” used his phone. Harp now faces additional charges including theft of identity, theft by deception, and impersonating a police officer. Jail records did not list an attorney for him.

O
n July 17, 1944, during World War II, 320 men, two-thirds of them African-Americans, were killed when a pair of ammunition ships exploded at the Port Chicago Naval Magazine in California.
On this date: In 1821, Spain ceded Florida to the United States. In 1918, Russia’s Czar Nicholas II and his family were executed by the Bolsheviks. In 1936, the Spanish Civil War began as right-wing army generals launched a coup attempt against the Second Spanish Republic. In 1938, aviator Douglas Corrigan took off from New York, saying he was headed for California; he ended up in Ireland, supposedly by accident, earning the nickname “Wrong Way Corrigan.” In 1954, the two-day inaugural Newport Jazz Festival, billed as “The First American Jazz Festival,” opened in Rhode Island; among the performers the first night was Billie Holiday, who died in New York on this date in 1959 at age 44. In 1955, Disneyland had its opening day in Anaheim, California. In 1962, the United States conducted its last atmospheric nuclear test to date, detonating a 20-kiloton device, codenamed Little Feller I, at the Nevada Test Site.
In 1974, Baseball Hall of Famer Jay Hanna “Dizzy” Dean, 64, died in Reno, Nevada. In 1975, an Apollo spaceship docked with a Soyuz spacecraft in orbit in the first superpower link-up of its kind. In 1981, 114 people were killed when a pair of suspended walkways above the lobby of the Kansas City Hyatt Regency Hotel collapsed during a tea dance. In 1996, TWA Flight 800, a Europe-bound Boeing 747, exploded and crashed off Long Island, New York, shortly after leaving John F. Kennedy International Airport, killing all 230 people aboard. In 1998, Nicholas II, last of the Romanov czars, was formally buried in Russia 80 years after he and his family were slain by the Bolsheviks.
Ten years ago: Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia submitted his resignation to Yasser Arafat, who rejected it the next day. California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger mockingly used the term “girlie men” during a rally as he claimed Democrats were delaying the state budget by catering to special interests.
Five years ago: Former CBS anchorman Walter Cronkite died in New York at 92. Bombs ripped through two luxury hotels in Jakarta, Indonesia, killing seven victims and wounding at least 50 more. The space shuttle Endeavour arrived at the
international space station to deliver the third and final component of a billion-dollar Japanese lab. Gordon Waller, of the pop duo Peter and Gordon, died in Norwich, Connecticut, at 64.
One year ago: In a heated House Judiciary Committee hearing on domestic spying, members of Congress said they’d never intended to allow the National Security Agency to build a database of every phone call in America, while top Obama administration officials countered that the once-secret program was legal and necessary to keep America safe.

Gun Bill
Continued from Page 1 control and it isn’t good for us, the law-abiding gun owner,” he said. “Nobody who’s going to commit a crime with a gun is going to go sit down in front of their chief, get fingerprinted, get a background check and sit through a class. They’re to go buy a gun in Springfield and go commit a crime. It is further intrusion into the lives of people who aren’t criminal.” Humason and his colleagues believe that changing the language of the bill Thursday could lead to the creation of legislation that the Senate’s pro-gun wing can live with. “Jim said to our caucus that GOAL has a problem right now with a perception that they rolled over in the House and agreed to bill that wasn’t good for law-abiding gun owners, and that’s not the case,” Humason said. “The four of us in the Republican caucus said that we’re not going to vote for a bill Thursday if it’s just a better bill then what came out of the House. We’re only going to vote for it if it’s a good bill for the law-abiding, if it doesn’t intrude upon the second amendment rights of our constituents.” “We’re not going to vote for something that’s just a little bit better than what the House passed. We don’t think it’s good enough and our constituents are telling us it isn’t good enough,” he said. “Jim understood that and said ‘if you can make this a good bill, we want you to make it a good bill for all of us.’” The four Senate Republicans have been joined by several senators on the other side of the aisle, including Richard Moore (D-Uxbridge) and James Timilty (D-Walpole). “We are not alone. It’s not a Republican/Democrat issue,” said Humason.
Anti-casino group launches campaign BOSTON (AP) — Anticasino activists yesterday set their sights on Springfield, which would be home to Massachusetts’ first licensed casino, as they attempt to win voter support for a November ballot question to repeal the state’s casino law. Organizers for “Repeal the Casino Deal” chose the city to hold their first formal meetings with volunteers since the state’s highest court cleared the way for the question to be
Levee Trail project “gets up a head of steam.” The Greenway project is projected to be completed over the next three years and will intersect with the levee trail at the former railroad bridge crossing the Westfield River. Cressotti said the city has spent $26,000 on the “conceptual design of the multiuse trail which has been submitted to the Project Review Committee at the state Department of Transportation.” “The committee only meets two or three times a year. They are the body which initiates funding for projects,” Cressotti said. “They’re meeting later this month and if they decide in favor of the project, it gets put on the DOT list for funding.” Cressotti said the city is responsible for the design phase of the project, engineering work being performed by Tighe & Bond of Southampton Road.
placed on the ballot. They said Springfield represents a key battleground since it would be home to a proposed $800 million MGM resort. “Springfield is in many respects ground zero,” spokesman David Guarino said. “They have a clear sense of what would happen if the law stays on the books.” MGM won voter approval for its proposed downtown Springfield casino last July, then state gambling regulators
awarded it the state’s first casino license last month, pending the outcome of the repeal question. John Ribeiro, the anti-casino group’s chairman, said the group will establish its campaign headquarters in East Boston and have a regional office in Springfield. He said the group hopes to build on already active bases of support in those areas as it expands the campaign statewide.
Continued from Page 1 “We just appropriated another $50,000 from the city’s Chapter 90 funding to advance the engineering work,” Cressotti said. “We have to get to the 25 percent design, and then the DOT will conduct a public hearing on the project.” Cressotti said that he anticipates the multi-use levee trail will be completed in phases to spread the construction cost, estimated at $5 million, over a number of funding years. The
Columbia Greenway trail is being completed on that same phased model. “A multi-use trail will only add mass and structure to the levee to make it stronger and better capable of resisting water pressure during a flood,” Cressotti said. “The DOT requirement for levees is that levees be 16-feet wide. We only have 10 feet. The trail project, which may include retaining walls, will add height and widen the crest.”

Cost debate slows VA reform bill By Lauren French and Burgess Everett Politico.com House and Senate lawmakers negotiating a bill to reform the Department of Veterans Affairs are being weighed down over questions about how much the overhaul will cost. Conference committee members are working with the Congressional Budget Office to get a score that lawmakers can find credible. The nonpartisan office initially put the cost of the reform bills at more than $50 billion — an estimate lawmakers dispute — but has recently reduced that figure to under $33 billion. “The main ongoing issue is what is the real cost of this. We’re trying to figure out how CBO put those pieces together because it just doesn’t make sense,” said Rep. Bill Flores (R-Texas). “They just missed the mark.” Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said cost is the “big impediment” for the committee to reach a deal before Congress leaves on its annual summer recess. The conference committee’s House members and aides have settled on roughly $10 billion as a reasonable cost for the legislation, which would give veterans the ability to seek treatment outside of the VA system if they have been waiting longer than 30 days for medical care or live far from a VA health care facility, among other reforms. That number is disputed by the Senate Democrats’ conferees, according to a source familiar with the process. The VA has been under intense scrutiny since an inspector general found the agency was manipulating wait times for veterans seeking medical care. The controversy forced former Secretary Eric Shinskei to resign. Robert McDonald, the White House’s choice to lead the agency, will face a confirmation hearing next week. The cost problem doesn’t center solely on the CBO. For years the VA refused to provide the CBO with details on their accounting methods, forcing the CBO to estimate cost models for health care. The VA is slowly opening its books to review, Flores said, but not quickly enough for the committee to receive a new cost estimate members can endorse. Frustration with the VA prompted House members of the 28-member conference committee to send a letter this month to Acting Secretary Sloan Gibson demanding the agency cooperate with the CBO. “Without that cooperation, CBO is unable to present to members as precise a cost estimate as possible, making the conference committee’s job of rendering an informed judgement on a compromise bill all the more difficult,” the House members wrote. A Republican committee aide said the focus is now on “putting pressure on VA” to work with the CBO. The committee is running up against a short clock as the House has just nine working days left until it leaves for the August recess. Alaska Sen. Mark Begich, a Democrat on the conference committee, sent a letter Friday to panel leaders saying he was concerned that the conference is getting “stalled out.” “It was great that we had the conference. Everyone made speeches — but now it’s time to get to work,” Begich said. He said there’s been no conference-wide meeting since the first one and put the chances of leaving in August with a deal a “50/50 shot at best.” But most members said they are still hopeful a compromise bill can be sent to the White House for President Barack Obama’s signature before the August recess. Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) said the chances of a deal are “pretty good” because the conferees have “most of the pay-fors” outlined. He declined to share where the committee could pull funds from but said any pay-fors would likely win broad support from members. The top Senate Republican on the conference committee, Richard Burr of North Carolina, said if the committee could overcome the cost issue “we can get a conference agreement today and have it moved in three days out of both bodies.” “It’s impossible to tell you what the structure of the final product will be or what the funding questions are until we get a new score,” Burr said. “My goal is to still have something on the president’s desk before we leave in August. I think that’s doable.” There is immense political pressure to finish the committee’s work before the August recess, a Democratic staffer explained, as members do not want to head home to campaign leaving the VA issues unfixed. For now Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) and Rep. Jeff Miller (R-Fla.) are meeting regularly to discuss how to offset the cost. “We’re moving along as best we can. I hope very much that we’re going to have a very strong bill that will pass before we leave,” Sanders said. “Money is always a huge issue.” Jeremy Herb contributed to this report.
Hill divisions deepen on border crisis By Seung Min Kim and Burgess Everett Politico.com The divide in Congress over how to address the southern border crisis intensified Wednesday as a closed-door briefing for senators did little to move lawmakers closer to a deal. The Democratic-controlled Senate and the Republicandominated House are heading down seemingly different tracks as they try to address the flood of unaccompanied children crossing the border. And time is running out with about two weeks left until Congress adjourns for August. In the Senate, the Appropriations Committee will begin hammering out a supplemental bill on Thursday, according to a Democratic aide. The funding will be roughly at the $3.7 billion level that President Barack Obama has asked for, or slightly less and it’s unclear whether it will include policy changes. Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) declined to comment as he left the Wednesday briefing. House leaders, meanwhile, are debating whether to move forward on legislation that would provide significantly less funding than Obama is seeking and attaching policy language that would change a 2008 anti-trafficking law to make it easier to return children to their home countries if they’re not from Mexico or Canada. The White House has expressed openness to such a move but congressional Democrats are resistant. During the Wednesday evening briefing for all 100 members of the Senate, top Obama administration officials urged lawmakers to swiftly pass the emergency funding Obama requested. “If we don’t come up with a supplemental appropriation, the Department of Homeland Security says they’re going to run out of money by the middle of August, and the Department of Health and Human Services is facing similar deadlines,” said Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the chamber’s second-ranking Democrat. DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson, HHS Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell, acting Office of Management and Budget Director Brian Deese and Deputy Attorney General James Cole briefed the senators. Meanwhile, Senate Democrats are aggressively making the case to fellow lawmakers and the administration that Obama already has existing powers under the current law — due to its “exceptional circumstances” provisions — to expedite some cases of these unaccompanied minors, rendering congressional action unnecessary. Durbin said there was some “ambivalence” from the administration on that issue, but top Democrats in the Senate — including Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who wrote the 2008 law — believe Obama can accelerate cases this way and therefore no revisions to the law are needed. Following the briefing, most Democratic senators indicated they wanted a so-called clean supplemental funding measure — meaning with no policy changes attached, which is a key condition of congressional Republicans. ”I’d be very reticent to change the 2008 law. I just don’t think the solution here should be centered on deportations,” said Sen.
Chris Murphy (D-Conn.). “I’d be much more likely to support a clean supplemental.” Several senators said the key policy change the administration discussed during the briefing centered on the anti-trafficking law that’s now at the heart of the debate. The White House wants to change the law to ensure that children from all countries can opt for “voluntary departure,” which means they could decide to leave the United States at their own expense. Right now, unaccompanied children from countries other than Mexico or Canada are automatically placed in the care of HHS until they wait their turn in immigration court. But for Republicans, that doesn’t go far enough, according to top GOP senators such as John Cornyn of Texas and John Thune of South Dakota. Cornyn has proposed legislation with Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) including several provisions that would treat children from all countries the same — regardless of whether their home country borders the United States — and significantly shorten the time to process the unaccompanied migrant children’s cases. The Cornyn-Cuellar measure was gaining support on Wednesday, primarily from Republicans. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said he was inclined to back it – but Democratic leaders in both the House and the Senate have expressed strong opposition. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said that Johnson stressed to senators that the crisis on the border will not change “until they see people coming back.” Although Democrats are opposed to major policy changes in tandem with the additional funding measure, Graham predicted that they will “fold like a cheap suit.” Alabama Sen. Richard Shelby, the top Republican on the Appropriations Committee, said Wednesday that the 2008 antitrafficking law needs to be amended and that the money requested by the Obama administration was “too much money” — a comment echoed by conservative and moderate Republicans alike. “You wanted someone to stand up and say, ‘hey, let’s talk about reality here,’” Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) said following the briefing. “There’s no way to get this money out of the House of Representatives unless you adjust the law.” There was also little progress in the Republican-led House Wednesday over tackling the border issue. Rep. Kay Granger (R-Texas), the leader of a working group trying to draft a policy response to the crisis, initially said she planned to release recommendations on Wednesday morning but did not do so. On the funding side, House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers (R-Ky.) indicated that he was nearly complete with calculating how much funding the House will try to pass. The policy changes and the supplemental appropriations will be in one bill, he said. “We’re ready on the money part,” Rogers said. “We’ve got to craft it, get it scored and all of those things, but as soon as we get the policy and the final policy inserts, we can.”

ARTSLEISURE The Arts Beat By Mark Auerbach
The Third Annual ‘Yidstock’ Festival of New Yiddish Music You don’t have to be Jewish to love the sound of klezmer, that jazzy music genre, which originated in Eastern Europe among the Ashkenazi Jews and emigrated, along with them to the New World. The Yiddish Book Center in Amherst, presents its third annual “Yidstock” festival of klezmer music, workshops, seminars, and other events on July 17-20. Most Klezmer music was written and performed for weddings and festivals in the old country, and when it arrived on
North American shores, it influenced modern American jazz, Tin Pan Alley pop standards, Broadway and Hollywood. If you venture down river to The Goodspeed Opera House to catch the 50th anniversary production of “Fiddler on The Roof” (through September 12), you can hear the klezmer influence on Broadway. On the Yidstock 2014 bill are The Klezmatics and the Klezmer Conservatory Band, widely considered to be the two greatest modern klezmer bands. Other headliners include Berlin’s Daniel Kahn & the Painted Bird, one of the most creative and cutting-edge Yiddish ensembles; Basya
Schechter: Songs of Wonder (The Heschel Project), featuring poetry by the great Yiddish poet and theologian, Abraham Joshua Heschel, put to new music by Basya Schechter, founder and leader of the Jewish world-beat group Pharaoh’s Daughter; and the Nigunim Trio, featuring Lorin Sklamberg and Frank London (both of the Klezmatics) and pianist Rob Schwimmer, performing original and traditional nigunim and zmiros. The curtain will come down on Yidstock 2014 with Frank London’s Klezmer Brass Allstars. Yidstock 2014 offers a rare opportunity for festival-goers to
take in performances by several generations of the most accomplished and influential klezmer musicians, including those who revived the music in the 1980s, those who made it blossom in the klezmer renaissance of the 1990s, and those who are blazing new trails well into the 21st century. A series of workshops and talks is also on the schedule, including two Yiddish Folk Dance workshops led by internationally renowned Yiddish dance teacher Steve Weintraub; a lecture by Hankus Netsky, founder of the Klezmer Conservatory Band; an instrumental klezmer workshop with Brian Bender; a Yiddish song workshop with Asya Vaisman Schulman; and a multimedia journey through a thousand years of klezmer history by author and music critic Seth Rogovoy, who programs the annual event.

Richard Chamberlain Stars in New Musical Reading The Berkshire Theatre Group presents a special benefit event featuring Richard Chamberlain in a reading of Martin Rabbett’s new musical “Sometimes Love” at the Colonial Theatre in Pittsfield on Friday, July 18 at 2pm. Proceeds benefit the programs of The Berkshire Theatre Group, and the event includes a catered box-supper and a “talk back” with Chamberlain and cast. In “Sometimes Love”, seven contemporary New Yorkers, most of them longtime friends, discover that life brings empowerment in surprising ways. They face the full spectrum of challenges: unemployment, infidelity, narcissistic lovers and alcoholic parents. But when the shame is confronted head-on and the smoke finally clears, their broken lives arrive at a fragile order, a simple and elegant truth. Love comes and goes, they discover, and the only way to make it stay is to adapt to its many mutations. Richard Chamberlain is a world-renowned actor of stage, film, and television. He’s remembered for his TV series “Dr. Kildare” and miniseries “The Thorn Birds” and “Shogun”.

By Chris Putz Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Westfield National went back … back … way back to beat their first round opponent in the Little League Baseball Majors state sectionals. In one of the most historic nights, locally, for Little League, Westfield National clubbed back-to-back-to-back homers to rout Great Barrington 11-3 Wednesday night at Paper Mill Field. The Nationals finished with five homers on the night. “We know we have big home run hitters … (but) it was crazy, amazing,” said Nationals’ Ryan Moorehouse, who hit the second of his team’s three consecutive homers in the second inning. Moorehouse later added a second dinger, his third of the postseason. Jack Masciadrelli got the long ball party started with a three-run home run in the top of the second inning, scoring Walter Figueroa, who singled, and C.J. Skribiski, who was hit by a pitch in consecutive at-bats. “(Great Barrington pitcher Graham Herrick) pitched it high and out,” Masciadrelli explained of the 2-ball, 2-strike pitch. “I stepped into it and brought it to opposite field.” Moorehouse and Mike Hall followed with solo shots. “We got runs early and worked the pitch counts,” Masciadrelli said. “It’s nice because I started it, and it kept going.” Westfield National starter Kevin Palluck mowed down the opposition early, striking out the side to begin the game. He retired the first six batters before allowing a bases-loaded walk in the third. A second run scored on an error. “I didn’t want to get (Great Barrington)
pumped up – they probably would have hit me more,” Palluck said of his strong start. “I had to throw strikes. I kept pumping the zone so they probably wouldn’t hit me.” Palluck got a little more help from Moorehouse who crushed a two-run homer over the right field fence in the fourth inning. Mason Collingwood also drove one deep for an 8-2 lead. Great Barrington tacked on its only other run in the fourth on a bases-loaded walk. That run was also unearned. Moorehouse, who opened as the catcher and briefly moved to third defensively, closed out the final 2 1-3 innings. He allowed no hits, struck out three batters and walked one. Westfield National put three more runs on the board in the sixth. Masciadrelli singled, Moorehouse doubled, and both runners advanced on a wild pitch. Hall belted an RBI double out along the right field line. Collingwood walked. With one out, Jack Lamirande and Ethan Flaherty hit run-scoring singles. “A team maybe hits one or two home runs a game,” Westfield National manager Bill Lamirande said, “but in three at-bats and to add two later on is pretty impressive.” Still Lamirande cautioned against the egobuilding blasts. “Hitting is not reciprocal as pitching and defense,” he added. “Hitting can come and go. It’s not going to take us farther than pitching and defense is going to.” Westfield National has a full stable of pitchers armed and ready to defend their home turf when they return to action Thursday against Pittsfield South at Cross Street Field at 5:30 p.m. “This is fun baseball,” Lamirande said.

Woods got a stroke back with a birdie at the par-5 fifth. But early on, this hardly looked like the 14-time major winner who romped to the Open title in 2006, the last time the Open was held at this course along the Irish Sea. The conditions could not have been better for scoring for the early starters. Unlike eight years ago, when Woods won in dry, fiery conditions that made the grass more brown than green, the course was lush and relatively soft after intermittent rain on Wednesday. Woods has gone six years without a major and this is his first Grand Slam event of 2014, his season interrupted by back surgery on March 31. He missed the Masters for the first time, and then the U.S. Open, before returning three weeks ago at Congressional. He missed the cut by four shots, though he was happy that he felt no pain. Woods’ threesome included Sweden’s Henrik Stenson, who is among four players with a shot at replacing Adam Scott at No. 1 in the world if he wins. The others are Justin Rose, Bubba Watson and Jason Day. Woods was No. 1 when he took three months off to heal his back. He now is seventh.

Offerman played for the Boston Red Sox,

Woods off to slow start at British Open By PAUL NEWBERRY AP National Writer HOYLAKE, England (AP) — Playing in his first major championship since back surgery, Tiger Woods got off to a shaky start in the British Open. Woods bogeyed the first two holes at Royal Liverpool on Thursday even though the conditions — warm and sunny with only a slight breeze — led to plenty of numbers in the red. Sweden’s Robert Karlsson opened with a 3-under 69. Rory McIlroy, Ricky Fowler, Sergio Garcia and Jim Furyk also were at 3 under and looking to take their scores even lower. The large group at 2 under included Italian brothers Edoardo and Francesco Molinari, as well as American Erik Compton, the two-time heart transplant recipient who tied for the runner-up spot at the U.S. Open last month. Woods ran into trouble at the first hole when his approach shot caught one of the treacherous pot bunkers. His wedge scooted through the green and led to bogey. At No. 2, the three-time Open champion knocked a long putt about 6 feet past the hole, then missed the comebacker to take his score to 2 over.

Gallopin wins Tour de France Stage 11 OYONNAX, France (AP) — French rider Tony Gallopin led a late breakaway in a show of opportunism and savvy racing to win Wednesday’s 11th stage of the Tour de France as Italy’s Vincenzo Nibali retained the overall lead. The peloton returned to action after the race’s first rest day with the 187.5-kilometer (116.3-mile) ride from Besancon to Oyonnax, not far from the Swiss border. The stage featured four small- to medium-sized hills near the end. In the stage’s mini-drama, American Andrew Talansky, struggling through pain from crashes earlier in the race, dropped out of the pack and rode solo much of the day. In a show of grit, he finished some 32 minutes back — enough to qualify to ride another day under race rules. Gallopin, who wore the yellow jersey for a day before Nibali recaptured it, first tried to break away with about 13
1/2 kilometers (8.4 miles) left but got reeled in. Then, in a late flurry, with less than 3 kilometers to go, the LottoBelisol rider tried again. This time, it worked. He chiseled out a lead of several seconds and, desperately pedaling, held off a surging pack in the final several hundred meters. Gallopin won by several bike lengths, just enough for him to have time to lift his arms in celebration, panting. “Incredible,” said Gallopin of his first Tour stage win. “I came to train for the Tour de France here ... that really served me today. “It’s really a victory that feels good.” The top standings didn’t change, because Nibali finished in the pack with the same time as Gallopin. Astana team leader Nibali has a lead of 2 minutes, 23 seconds over Australia’s Richie Porte, in second. Alejandro Valverde of Spain was third, another 24 seconds back. Gallopin was
in fifth, 3:12 behind Nibali. With such a margin and the strong form he has shown so far, Nibali is looking wellpositioned for possible victory when the race ends in Paris on July 27. But tough days lie ahead: in the Alps later this week, and the Pyrenees mountains in Week Three. Talansky, in pain after two crashes twice in recent days, dropped back from the peloton more than halfway through the stage. At one point, he stopped and sat down on a roadside guard rail. French TV first counted him out, as did some observers on Twitter. But in a show of heart, and with encouragement from his team sports director Robert Hunter, Talansky got back on his bike, wiped his eyes and continued. Now he was racing against the clock. Under race rules, which require riders to finish within a certain time of the stage winner, he had to finish within 37 minutes of Gallopin.

Plasse, Westfield posts tourney win By Chris Putz Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Westfield Post 124 opened the 2014 postseason on the right foot, thanks to the arm of pitcher Matt Plasse. Plasse tossed a two-hitter, striking out eight batters and allowing one unearned run in leading Post 124 to a 6-1 American Legion Baseball tournament opening win over East Springfield Post 420 last night at Bullens Field. “This was not because of me – this was all them,” Plasse said, deferring accolades to his teammates who provided the offense and defense necessary to advance in the tournament. Nate Barnes helped Westfield to the early lead with an RBI single in the first inning, Colin Dunn and Brent Houle powered the team’s 4-run, fourth inning, Rob Sullivan (2 runs scored) and Matt Irzyk (run) each went 2-for-3, and Sam Blake had a hit and run scored. In the bottom of the fourth, Dunn (2 runs) delivered a basesloaded, two-run single, and Houle laced a two-out, two-run base knock to give Westfield a commanding 6-1 lead. Both batters went 2-for-4 at the plate. “This was a great way to start (our postseason),” Westfield Post 124 coach Don Irzyk said. “We kind of played our game. We got our bats going. We jumped on them early. That’s what we needed to do, get on (East Springfield pitcher Kevin Hassett) early.” Hassett, the ace for Cathedral High, has committed to pitch for the University of Massachusetts. On Wednesday, Plasse outdueled the Panther. “Matt Plasse did a fantastic job,” coach Irzyk said. “He predominantly throws breaking balls. He keeps them off balance … and we played pretty solid defense.” Westfield next plays at Pittsfield. Date and time TBD. “We expect them to be a decent team,” said Irzyk, whose team was bounced from the tournament a year ago in a heart- Westfield American Legion Post 124 second baseWestfield American Legion Post 124 pitcher Matthew Plasse delivers breaker. man Christopher Riga, rear, misses the tag on an to an East Springfield Post 420 batter.

Sabres reach deal to re-sign C Ennis BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Sabres general manager Tim Murray wasn’t kidding about how much he wanted center Tyler Ennis to be part of Buffalo’s long-term future. A person familiar with the agreement confirmed to The Associated Press early Thursday that the Sabres have reached a deal to re-sign Ennis to a five-year contract worth about $23 million. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Sabres haven’t announced the deal. The NHL Network first reported the agreement on Wednesday. Ennis was a restricted free agent after the Sabres retained his rights by tendering him a contract offer last month. He is a speedy, play-making forward who led the Sabres with a career-best 21 goals and added 22 assists in 80 games last season. Last month, Murray spoke highly of how he foresaw Ennis being part of his rebuilding plan in Buffalo. The Sabres (21-51-10) finished last, set a franchise record for losses, and established a post-NHL-expansion-era low by scoring just 150 goals last season.

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
My Heart Is breaking Dear Annie: My beloved mother-in-law passed away two years ago. We had a church funeral and a celebration of her life. My father-in-law had the body cremated. He intends to have the ashes buried in the family plot in New York, 1,200 miles away, although he hasn’t done so yet. On more than one occasion, he has informed my husband that he wants him to go to New York for another memorial ceremony. I have never heard of having two ceremonies so far apart, and my husband is not looking forward to it. We said our goodbyes at her funeral. Planning another one feels like a dark hanging cloud. My father-in-law recently met a lady and has decided he should have my mother-in-law’s ashes laid to rest within the next few months. He expects us to travel to the second ceremony. I feel that it is my father-in-law’s responsibility to take care of this, and frankly, it should have been done a long time ago. Am I wrong? Do we really have to drag out the burial like this? -- My Heart Is Breaking Dear Heart: Some families might find it touching to have another (small) memorial two years later, when you’ve all had the opportunity to recover from the initial sorrow and can celebrate your mother-in-law’s life with more joy. But since you don’t feel that way, you do not need to go to so much trouble. However, this is your husband’s mother, and he gets to make that decision for himself. Please do not try to influence him. If he would rather go with his father, we hope you will be supportive. Dear Annie: As a part-time event consultant, I have seen many RSVP cards that are returned with additional guests included. I think the problem is exacerbated by the RSVP cards that are used. They say, “Number of persons attending,” followed by a blank line. That implies that the guest can choose the number of people they will bring. Perhaps they don’t realize that the host is simply asking how many of the people listed on the invitation envelope will be attending. It’s usually one person or two. I would advise not including this on RSVP cards in the future, as it seems good manners and the rules of etiquette (and even common sense) are fast becoming things of the past. -- J.E., New Orleans, La. Dear J.E.: We agree that these RSVP cards can be misleading. They are actually a fairly recent innovation and belong more appropriately with business invitations, not wedding invites. Back in the Gilded Age, guests were expected to respond using their own personalized stationery, and pre-printed RSVP cards were later introduced as a convenience. We like your suggestion that people not include cards that give the impression that you can bring any number of guests you choose. Please, folks, only the names on the envelope are invited. Dear Annie: Your comment to “Swimmers’ Parents” was good -- it isn’t fair to hold one twin back so the other can catch up. My twin son and daughter had similar issues. She read before he did. He ran faster. It upset them both not to be “as good” as the other. It is important to tell the children that we all have different abilities, even if we are the same age. Also, we made sure our children had separate opportunities for achievement. When our daughter showed aptitude for playing the piano and our son wanted to play, too, we suggested another instrument he had shown interest in, and he was off and running. Sometimes we had them play little duets, and we gave them both well-deserved praise. A plus of their individual activities was that each made separate friends. They are adults now and quite close, but they are very different people. -- Two Close for Comfort 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 SELF-RISING FLOUR Dear Heloise: As I was growing up, my grandmother said that you could use self-rising flour in baking instead of plain flour, baking powder and salt. Is this regardless of the measurements for the baking powder and salt? -- Renee P. in North Carolina No, you need to be aware of the measurements, which are the following: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1 teaspoon table salt. These measurements are what change plain flour to self-rising flour. -- Heloise SAVING WRAPPERS Dear Heloise: I always use the wrappers from sticks of butter to grease casserole dishes or baking sheets. When I have wrappers but no cooking immediately planned for which they will be used, I store the wrappers in the freezer. The freezer keeps the wrappers fresh and ready to use. -- Kelly T. in Illinois COOKING BACON Dear Heloise: We cook our bacon outside in an electric skillet to keep odor and splatters out of the house. We cook at least a pound at a time, and we put what we don’t use in a plastic freezer bag. It keeps great in the freezer, and whenever you want a couple of pieces, you pop them into the microwave for 10 seconds. Yum! -- Craig and Patti J. in Michigan STEMMING STRAWBERRIES Dear Heloise: When I stem strawberries, I use the long, skinny potato peeler. This way, I get the stem plus the pithy center and save all the shoulder fruit of the strawberry. -- Sue, via email (c)2014 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

YOUR HOROSCOPE Contract Bridge By Jaqueline Bigar
DOG EAT DOUG
Brian Anderson
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, July 17, 2014: This year opportunities pop up from out of the blue, though they might force your hand in making decisions that you would prefer to avoid. If you are single, you attract many different personalities. Avoid getting too serious with anyone who is possessive. If you are attached, the two of you will reach a financial pinnacle, but only if you continue to save. A lucky bet or a promotion also could be part of the scenario. ARIES might be alluring, but he or she also can cause a lot of conflict in your life. 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) HHH Confusion will mark your words, though you might feel as if you are being very clear. As a result, you will have a choice to make that you would like to avoid. Be careful when suppressing your anger, as there could be a backfire. Tonight: Go for the moment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HH You might choose to say less and listen more. What you see evolving could be somewhat depressing. Remember that everything can change in the blink of an eye. Be careful, as anger easily could disrupt and surprise you. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Emphasize what you want. You could be taken aback by someone’s frustration. Try not to fan any flames; instead, help this person discuss his or her feelings. Be optimistic in your calls and in your communication, and you will see a positive response. Tonight: Where the gang is. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might decide that a new approach would be better, especially if you find that others are trying to force your hand. You understand moodiness and strange behavior, and you are likely to witness how quickly moods can change. Tonight: In the limelight. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Keep reaching out to an expert to help you make a decision. If you can postpone having to choose right now, you would be well advised to do so. A day or two wait will help you gain a different and more successful perspective. Tonight: Go off and try something new. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You will want to defer to others, as they seem to have a better grasp on a difficult situation. You might not understand the root of the problem. Remain positive in how you approach a potential disagreement. You know who you can trust. Tonight: Dinner for two. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You seem to have been dealing with a lot of frustration and/or anger since March. That period is ending now, yet you might be surprised to have your ability to express these uncomfortable feelings tested today. Let others know how you feel. Tonight: Seek advice. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You might feel as if many people are forgetting important pieces of a puzzle, perhaps involving your immediate circle. Make a point to get past your irritation, and consider how you can persuade these same people to be more thorough. Tonight: Make it early, if possible. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Your fiery nature takes over, which factors your creativity and dynamic thinking into the mix. Others enjoy this part of your personality, and they often step back and make way for you and your expansive ideas. Do not accept “no” as an answer. Tonight: Paint the town red. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Your mind might be on home and family. Your thinking will be clear to those close to you, though you still could tumble into controversy. You’ll have to decide whether to stand up to different ideas, incorporate them or become rigid about them. Tonight: At home. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You often tell it as it is, which tends to trigger some uproar. You bring out a natural sense of defiance in others. You will find out quickly whether your style will work well in a new situation. Try to choose your words with care. Avoid getting personal. Tonight: Hang out.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Be aware of your actions and how they might trigger a strong reaction from a loved one or an associate. On the other hand, remember to be sensitive to your needs. Use a measure of care with your finances. It will serve you well to honor your budget. Tonight: Pay bills first.

When it comes to 21st century multimedia platforms, “hyper local” is a term you hear a lot.

It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newspapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore.
