By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—A two-boat collision in Hampton Ponds sent one to the hospital Wednesday night. According to Massachusetts State Police Trooper Nick Latino, out of the Russell State Police Barracks, a call for a two-boat collision came in shortly before 11 p.m. last night at Hampton Ponds. The crash sent one person to an unidentified hospital. The extent of the injuries are currently not known. Latino said that one boat had a total of five people on board, while the other had two. The boat with five parties was where Latino said the injured party came from. State Police said that the Massachusetts Environmental Police are currently investigating.
Granville Fire Department receives piece of equipment By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent GRANVILLE – The Granville Fire Department received an important piece of equipment this week. Posted on the fire department’s Facebook page on Wednesday, the Talcott Mountain Agility Club donated a pet oxygen mask to the fire station. Concentrated in Central Connecticut, the Talcott Mountain Agility Club focuses on assisting dogs with agility, obedience, herding, and conformation. The club has about 100 members with various types of breeds and purebred dogs.
Granville Fire Chief Matt Ripley sees a significant benefit to the new piece of equipment. “In case someone has a pet that’s involved in a fire, we can administer oxygen to it properly,” said Ripley. “Their (dogs) are very important family members in a lot of homesteads.” The pet oxygen masks have three different sizes and can fit all dogs, and as well as small cats. The masks are also able to connect to the fire department’s oxygen regulator. Ripley added that the mask is very similar to a human oxygen mask, with the only difference being its shape.
Williams Riding Way Pump Station is operational By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—According to city engineer Mark Cressotti, the Williams Riding Way Pump Station is “up and running.” Cressotti informed the Westfield Flood Control Commission yesterday that the pump station is active. The pump station had been undergoing rehabilitation, according to Flood Control Commissioner Al Giguere, and was estimated to have cost under $2 million. Both Cressotti and Giguere said that there is still work to be done at the location, however. “As of right now, everything is operational,” Giguere said. According to Giguere, the pump station had been unofficially operational previously, but as of July 1 it became official. That was the date that the contract for rehabilitation of the site officially ended, he said. Work that still needs to be done on this phase, according to Cressotti, is the acquiring of tools and training. The pump station was made functional in July of last year, when three pumps within the facility were renovated. The pumps were initially gas-powered and were installed in 1955, the same year as one of Westfield’s largest floods. The equipment installed to replace the gas engines was electric-powered, with three total pumps, along with a back-up diesel generator attached in the event that electricity cannot flow to the station. Giguere said that the pump station could be capable of pumping 60,000 gallons of water per minute, if each pump is operating. According to an article about the site last year, Cressotti said that the pumps were last used in 2006 or 2007, prior to the rehabilitation. Also according to the article, rehabilitation at the facility started three years ago. Giguere said that the pumps have been used since the facility was made functional, but it was in order to test and evaluate the system. Giguere said that he is hopeful that this will allow the Flood Control Commission to move onto the next phase of the rehabilitation of the pump station. This phase, according to Giguere, includes improving inflow and outflow infrastructure and rebuilding a portion of the facility called the grit chamber, which is where debris from stormwater collects.

City Council preview, July 6, 2017 By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—The City Council will be meeting this evening and there is a full list of agenda items up for discussion. The meeting is set to feature public hearings on zoning changes and site plans, reports from city officers regarding the Barnes Aquifer and truck traffic on Paper Mill Road, a possible vote and discussion on a synthetic turf and crumb rubber moratorium on city-owned land and mayoral requests, among other items. For the “Communications from the mayor,” Mayor Brian Sullivan said that the most of his requests are for the acceptance of grants or gifts to the city. “Everything going into city council from the mayor is really just a grant or a gift, so it’s pretty simple and straightforward,” Sullivan said. Some of the grants include over $266,000 that was given to the city from the Department of Energy Resources Green Communities Designation Grant, over $135,000 total in grants related to the public safety communications center and $158,000 for the Westfield Barnes Regional Airport Layout Plan. In addition, Sullivan is expected to request that city council approve making the city’s interim treasurer-collector Megan Kane, and interim auditor Mary Daley, into permanent positions. “Both have been there on an interim basis and I’m just looking to make them permanent for the fiscal year ’18 time frame,” Sullivan said. Regarding reports from city officers, one will be in relation to protection of the Barnes Aquifer from officials at Barnes Regional Airport, and the other is related to a possible truck exclusion on Paper Mill Road. For Barnes, airport manager Eric Billowitz is expected to address the council and will talk about what they do to help protect the aquifer. According to a letter for the city council, Billowitz wrote that the airport “follows and is subject” to all local, state/Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection and federal/Environmental Protection Agency “laws and regulations as they pertain in an aviation environmental,” among other points within the letter. As for the truck exclusion on Paper Mill Road, Westfield Police Chief and traffic commissioner John Camerota is expected to provide for city council a request to look at creating a truck exclusion for Paper Mill Road. “The residents up there are looking to get heavy truck

ODDS & ENDS Bear breaks in to house, hunts for food as owner sleeps COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — A bear that broke in to a Colorado home and tore through the place looking for food as the owner slept upstairs has been killed by wildlife officers. The Colorado Springs Gazette reports that the bear spent six hours trashing the kitchen. Surveillance video shows the bear standing up on its hind legs and opening the refrigerator door with ease. An officer shot the animal after it left the property Tuesday and then charged back toward it. Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials say they believe it’s the same bear that ate ice cream and M&Ms it snatched from a home in June. They also believe it’s the bear that trapped a woman inside her vehicle a few days later while it prowled around her garage.

traffic off their road,” Camerota said. According to Camerota, residents have said that the traffic is loud, can cause damage to the roads and is possibly dangerous. “We agree that there should be an exclusion,” he said. Camerota said that if it is successful, then the next step would be to submit a written request to the Massachusetts Department of Transportation. For site plans and public hearings, there are several that are going in front of city council to change the zoning to business A. According to city planner Jay Vinskey, there is a public hearing for three total parcels on 4 Taylor Ave. and 95 Main St., then a second public hearing for a parcel on 397 Little River Road. Vinskey said that the Taylor Avenue location is currently zoned residential, Main Street is commercial A and Little River Road is residence A and rural residence.

Concerns over truck prompt evacuations at air base HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass. (AP) — Portions of Hanscom Air Force Base in Massachusetts have been evacuated due to concerns about a truck. In a message posted on the website for the base, security forces became concerned following a routine vehicle inspection at a gate leading to the facility. State police said the screening found indicators of potentially hazardous material. The base said it put a response team in place and closed the Vandenberg Gate. Several nearby base facilities were also evacuated. The state police bomb squad and air wing has responded to the base in Bedford to investigate. No injuries have been reported.
tion/convenience store,” according to the cover letter. As for the Taylor Avenue and Main Street location, a petition for zoning amendment, also submitted by R Levesque Associates, Inc., explained that the reason for the proposed amendment was for relocation of a Dunkin Donuts restaurant currently located at 93 Main St. Both applications can be viewed online through the City’s document center within the municipal website. In addition, there is a public hearing for a contractor’s yard and trailer drop and office at 103 Servistar Way. Also, city council is expected to discuss and vote on an amendment to a special permit that would modify hours of operation for Boise Cascade, which is being brought from city council’s legislative and ordinance committee. Regarding the moratorium on synthetic turf and crumb rubber, city council is expected to vote on a resolution that would put a three-year moratorium on the use of the materials on city-owned property. This is being brought from city council’s natural resources committee, who gave a positive recommendation for the resolution.

19 AGs sue DeVos for delaying for-profit college rules By COLLIN BINKLEY Associated Press Democratic attorneys general in 18 states and the District of Columbia are suing Education Secretary Betsy DeVos over her decision to suspend rules meant to protect students from abuses by for-profit colleges. The lawsuit was filed Thursday in federal court in Washington and demands implementation of borrower defense to repayment rules. The rules aim to make schools financially responsible for fraud and forbid them from forcing students to resolve complaints outside court. They were created under President Barack Obama's administration and were to take effect July 1. On June 14, DeVos announced the rules would be delayed and rewritten, saying they created "a muddled process that's unfair to students and schools." Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey is leading the lawsuit and says DeVos' decision is "a betrayal of her office's responsibility and a violation of federal law."

US renews offer of Syria cooperation with Russia By MATTHEW LEE AP Diplomatic Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration has renewed an offer to cooperate with Russia in the Syrian conflict, including on military matters, ahead of President Donald Trump's meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin later this week. In a statement Wednesday , Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the U.S. is open to establishing no-fly zones in Syria in coordination with Russia as well as jointly setting up a truce monitoring and humanitarian aid delivery mechanism. The statement came as Trump prepared to meet with Putin on Friday in Germany and as the U.S. seeks to consolidate gains made against the Islamic State group in recent weeks and amid preparations for a post-IS future. Tillerson noted that the U.S. and Russia have a variety of unresolved differences but said that Syria is an opportunity for the two countries to create stability. He said that the Islamic State had been "badly wounded" and may be on the "brink of complete defeat" as U.S.-backed forces continue their assault on the self-proclaimed IS capital of Raqqa. But he stressed that Russia has to play a constructive role. "While there are no perfect options for guaranteeing stability, we must explore all possibilities for holding the line against the resurgence of ISIS or other terrorist groups," Tillerson said. "The United States and Russia certainly have unresolved differences on a number of issues, but we have the potential to appropriately coordinate in Syria in order to produce stability and serve our mutual security interests." He said that Russia, as an ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad and a participant in the conflict, "has a responsibility to ensure that the needs of the Syrian people are met and that no faction in Syria illegitimately re-takes or occupies areas liberated from ISIS' or other terrorist groups' control." Tillerson added that Russia has "an obligation to prevent any further use of chemical weapons of any kind by the Assad regime." The appeal echoed similar entreaties made to Putin by the Obama administration that were largely ignored by Moscow, but the latest offer came just two days ahead of Trump's first face-to-face meeting with Putin, which is set to take place on Friday on the sidelines of the G-20 summit in Hamburg, Germany. And the offer went beyond the Obama administration's previous proposal, suggesting that cooperation in establishing no-fly zones was possible. Tillerson noted that despite differences, the U.S. and Russia are having success in avoiding accidents between American and Russian planes flying over an extremely complex conflict zone. Minor incidents, he said, had been dealt with "quickly and peacefully." "This cooperation over de-confliction zones process is evidence that our two nations are capable of further progress," Tillerson said. "The United States is prepared to explore the possibility of establishing with Russia joint mechanisms for ensuring stability, including no-fly zones, on the ground ceasefire observers, and coordinated delivery of humanitarian assistance." "If our two countries work together to establish stability on the ground," he said, "it will lay a foundation for progress on the settlement of Syria's political future."
By JOSH LEDERMAN and MATTHEW LEE Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Having lost patience with China, the Trump administration is studying new steps to starve North Korea of cash for its nuclear program, including an option that would infuriate Beijing: sanctions on Chinese companies that help keep the North's economy afloat. It's an approach that's paid off for the U.S. in the past, especially with Iran, where American economic penalties helped drive Tehran to the nuclear negotiating table. Yet there are significant risks, too, including the possibility of opening a new rift with Beijing that could complicate U.S. diplomatic efforts on other critical issues. The renewed look at "secondary sanctions" comes as Washington seeks a forceful response to North Korea's test this week of an intercontinental ballistic missile that could strike the United States. Few are advocating a military intervention that could endanger millions of lives in allied South Korea across the border. But options for turning the screw on the North financially also are imperfect. "I don't like to talk about what I have planned, but I have some pretty severe things that we're thinking about," President Donald Trump said Thursday during an appearance at a news conference in Poland. "That doesn't mean we're going to do them." He said the U.S. would be watching what happens in the coming weeks and months but chided North Korea for "behaving in a very, very dangerous manner" and added: "Something will have to be done about it." Already, a wide array of U.S. and international sanctions target North Korean entities and officials, making it illegal for Americans to do business with them. The U.S. also has pursued companies outside North Korea accused of surreptitiously helping the communist country, such as a small Chinese bank the U.S. penalized last week for allegedly laundering money for North Korea. But the U.S. thus far has avoided what sanctions experts describe as a logical escalation: secondary sanctions targeting banks and companies that do any business with North Korea — even legitimate transactions that aren't explicitly prohibited by U.N. Security Council resolutions. Nikki Haley, Trump's U.N. ambassador, told an emergency session of the council Wednesday that the world must do more to "cut off the major sources of hard currency to the North Korean regime." "We will look at any country that chooses to do business with this outlaw regime," Haley said. On the Korean Peninsula on Thursday, South Korean jets and navy ships fired a barrage of guided-missiles into the ocean during drills, a display of military power two days after North Korea test-launched its first intercontinental ballistic missile. The live-fire drills off South Korea's east coast were previously scheduled. In a show of force, South Korea and the United States also staged "deep strike" precision missile firing drills on Wednesday as a warning to the North. Thursday's drills were aimed at boosting readiness against possible maritime North Korean aggression. They involved 15 warships including a 3,200-tonclass destroyer, as well as helicopters and fighter jets, South Korea's navy said. "Our military is maintaining the highest-level of readiness to make a swift response even if a war breaks out today," said Rear Adm. Kwon Jeong Seob, who directed the drills, according to the statement. Potential sanctions targets previously identified by the Treasury Department include companies based in China, U.S. officials have said. Some may have no business with Americans or U.S. firms, making it harder for the U.S. to limit their operations or freeze assets. But secondary sanctions would still force such companies to stop doing business with North Korea or risk losing their access to the U.S. financial system, and with it, the dollar — the world's main currency for global trade and finance. Beijing steadfastly opposes such measures. It says sanctions would hurt China's interests and criticizes the approach for being one-sided, as opposed to international penalties that are globally agreed.

"The U.S. needs to understand the Chinese will never allow Chinese companies and individuals to be designated (for sanctions) at the U.N., and the U.S. dollar is still pre-eminent. So the U.S. has leverage," said Anthony Ruggiero at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, which advocates for a tough approach to North Korea's nuclear program. Trump, in recent days, appears to have concluded that his early efforts to enlist China's cooperation on North Korea haven't paid off. On Wednesday, Trump took to Twitter to chastise China for allowing its trade with the North to grow in recent months even as the U.S. urged a reduction. "So much for China working with us — but we had to give it a try!" Trump wrote. Senior U.S. officials said imposing sanctions on companies dealing with the North was among several steps considered after the ICBM launch, as U.S. intelligence, military and diplomatic officials reviewed different possibilities. The Trump administration hasn't given up hope China will change course and step up pressure on North Korea, officials said. In Congress, lawmakers have proposed new sanctions on North Korea's shipping industry and alleged use of slave labor. The House passed a bill in May, but the Senate has yet to approve it. Secondary sanctions on North Korea would borrow from President Barack Obama's Iran approach before the 2015 nuclear deal with Tehran. After Congress authorized such penalties, the Obama administration worked with nations around the world to get them to reduce their oil imports from Tehran, while negotiating secretly with Iranian officials. The sanctions effectively deterred European firms from doing business with Iran and commercial powers such as China and India were encouraged to buy less Iranian petroleum. North Korea's isolation, which is far greater than Iran's was, could make it even more susceptible to such pressure. China accounts for about 90 percent of North Korea's trade. But China has leverage, too, which is why previous U.S. administrations have held back. China is now the world's second-largest economy, it holds trillions of dollars in U.S. debt and its companies are increasingly tied financially with the West. And angering Beijing could lead to unpredictable responses in places like the South China Sea, where Beijing has various territorial disputes with America's allies and partners in Southeast Asia. "It will put a magnifying glass on Chinese businesses that the Chinese government may not want," said Doreen Edelman, an attorney at Baker Donelson who specializes in sanctions compliance.
Diplomats frustrated, confused by Trump administration WASHINGTON (AP) — America's diplomats are struggling to figure out what mission the Trump administration expects them to carry out, and they see the importance of their jobs waning as President Donald Trump seeks drastic cuts to the budgets of the State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development. The results of a survey commissioned by the State Department found a high level of confusion and demoralization among the ranks of career diplomats and civil servants, who expressed concerns about their futures as well as the trajectory of American foreign policy. The survey results were released to State Department and USAID employees Wednesday in a 110-page report that was first reported by The Wall Street Journal. A copy of the report was obtained by The Associated Press shortly after it was distributed to employees.

The survey, conducted by a private consulting firm, was ordered in late April by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, the former Exxon Mobil CEO. Tillerson was brought into Trump's administration in part due to his experience running a massive organization, and given a mission to reorganize the State Department. Tillerson has largely accepted the administration's plans to slash diplomatic and development funding, although he faces intense bipartisan opposition in Congress, which will likely reverse at least some of his proposed 31 percent cut in funding. Such funds account for a little more than 1 percent of the federal budget. In addition to grave unease about the future, many of the 35,000 employees who responded to the survey complained about management culture, working conditions, uncertain performance goals and technological shortcomings that pre-date the Trump administration. "No one we interviewed said that the working environment at USAID or DOS enabled them to be successful;" the report's authors said, using an acronym for the Department of State. But as Tillerson weighs sweeping changes, many employees also expressed doubts that he or Trump understand their role or appreciate their work, according to the report. One employee told interviewers he feared the agency would be overhauled "to save costs" without an understanding of what's actually being cut. "Our leaders do not understand our mission and our capabilities," said the employee, who like others in the report was not named. Tillerson, in a video message to employees accompanying the report's release, sought to alleviate concerns that the survey was being used to justify major changes that Tillerson and Trump had decided upon long ago. "We began this process with no preconceived notions about the outcome," said Tillerson. "Our goal is, and always has been, to address challenges to the way our department operates." The survey comes as the roughly 75,000 workers employed globally by the State Department brace for what administration
officials have indicated will be a far-reaching overhaul, involving job cuts, program eliminations and the expected consolidation of many offices in the agency's sprawling bureaucracy. Trump's budget proposal to Congress includes almost a onethird cut to Tillerson's budget. Tillerson's initial proposals for reorganizing the agency also included the elimination of about 2,300 jobs, though aides have suggested those would come through attrition and retirements and not necessarily through layoffs. The slow pace of filling key State Department jobs under Trump, including most assistant secretaries who oversee geographic regions, has also raised concerns that those positions will may never be filled. Officials briefed on Tillerson's plans have said he's also considering merging the State Department and USAID, a notion that elicited particular concern in the survey. The report said employees had mixed opinions about how the agencies should be structured but were concerned that making USAID a division of the State Department would lead to foreign aid being overly politicized. Describing a lack of accountability, workers also said they were less efficient than they could be due to time-consuming requirements to have even basic decisions approved by numerous offices with differing interests, according to the report. Many said they spent so much time documenting what they were doing that they lacked the time to actually do it. "We spend hours generating reports that Congress demands, and then you hear from someone well-placed on (Capitol Hill) 'we don't actually read those reports,'" one worker said. Tillerson said the State Department's leadership would keep listening to input as it starts "the next phase of transforming State and USAID for the future." He said a steering committee led by Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan would work on those reforms over the next three to six months. More than 35,000 State Department and USAID workers took the survey, a participation rate of 43 percent, the authors said, while another 300 were interviewed. To conduct the survey, the State Department hired Insigniam Holding LLC, a management consulting firm.

The Music Man Marches To Pittsfield’s Colonial Theatre 76 trombones play Pittsfield with a cast and crew of over 100 turning The Berkshire Theatre Group’s Colonial Theatre stage into River City for Meredith Willson’s musical comedy classic, The Music Man, onstage through August 6. Rylan Morsbach stars as “Professor” Harold Hill, a fly-by-night travellng salesman who comes to town to con the people into buying musical instruments and starting a marching band. But the con man has a heart, and he falls for Marian The Librarian. Travis G. Daly directs this beloved American musical;
Mark Gionfriddo is music director, and Avital Asuleen choreographs the tuner, which features a cavalcade of hits like “76 Trombones”, “Til There Was You”, “Lida Rose”, “Marian The Librarian”, and “Goodnight My Someone”. Daly and Gionfriddo have worked together on BTG community productions of Beauty and The Beast, Mary Poppins, and Seussical. Daly works with educational programs at BTG. Gionfriddo is the jazz teacher at Mount Holyoke, and creator of the popular Big Broadcast. According to Daly, “The Music Man is a musical love letter. An uplifting history lesson with great ideals, this production shows how infectious the power of love is. Harold has a metamorphosis throughout the play, and as he begins to grow, he inspires this entire community, bringing them

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 Pre-College. 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 SchradeJames who reveled in her chamber experiences at the Greenwood Music Camp, Cummington’s nationallyknown musical gem. It has become annual! These stunning players, including fac-
ulty 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 wellknown 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 piano-cello version.

“Our Family Cooks For Your Family”
Sevenars 49th anniversary season Sunday, July 9 at 4 PM: The Schrade-James Family, Cello, Piano, Solo, DuoThe family of Schrades and Jameses brings Sevenars close to its half-century milestone (coming up in 2018 – stay tuned!). They have attracted a loyal following of audiences and press, whether at Lincoln Center, Wigmore Hall, Carnegie Hall, throughout the US, Canada, New Zealand, France, Italy, or Fiji, in chamber, solo, and orchestral appearances, and on radio, television, and numerous highly praised recordings. The performing members now include four pianists, David James, Randolph Schrade, Rorianne Schrade, and Lynelle James, and cellist Christopher James. As individuals they have garnered dozens of awards and accolades and as a family were the first listed on Steinway’s global artists roster (as well as individual listings). Their “agile, intensely musical performances” (N.Y. Times) reflect their joy of making music as a family through the decades. This program will include works by Bach, Paganini, Brahms, Liszt, Tchaikovsky, William Grant Still, Massenet, Gershwin-Grainger, and more! 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
…and better rates!
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.

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

Cashner cools Sox; Rangers avoid sweep By SCHUYLER DIXON AP Sports Writer ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Andrew Cashner didn't have to dodge any broken bats, and finally gave up a hit only after an error kept an inning alive for Boston. Cashner held the hot-hitting Red Sox hitless into the sixth, Rougned Odor hit an early two-run homer and the Texas Rangers ended the longest winning streak in the majors at six games with a rain-delayed 8-2 victory over Boston on Wednesday night. Cashner (4-7) was wild into the third inning, then retired 10 straight batters before first baseman Pete Kozma's error on a dropped throw kept the sixth going. The next batter, Xander Bogaerts, ended the no-hit bid with a two-run homer just over the 14-foot wall in left field. Kozma had just entered the game at first after pinch-hitting in the fifth for slugger Joey Gallo, who exited with a sore left hamstring. The drop came on a slightly low throw from shortstop Jurickson Profar on an easy grounder by Dustin Pedroia. "These guys are too good to think about (a no-hitter)," Cashner said. "My job is to think about one pitch at a time. Keep executing. If you don't execute . think about the next pitch." The right-hander allowed three hits, three walks and two unearned runs with four strikeouts in seven innings. It was his first start since getting hit on the elbow by a broken bat in a loss at Cleveland — the second straight rough outing for the Houston-area native. Boston, which had at least 10 hits and six runs in every game during the winning streak, missed a chance to be the first team to sweep a season series of more than three games against the Rangers since they moved to Texas in 1972. The Red Sox won the first five meetings this year.
"We hit some balls hard, we hit some balls right at people," Boston manager John Farrell said. "But make no mistake, Cashner, that was one of the better games he's thrown this year. He's in the mid-90s (mph) with heavy sink." After a delay of nearly 90 minutes to start the game, Odor's 16th homer put Texas ahead 2-0 in the second. Carlos Gomez had a solo shot , his 12th, in the third. Odor scored three times before leaving with a bruised left hand after the fifth inning, when he was hit by a pitch. It was the second straight hit batter by lefty reliever Robby Scott, who first plunked Adrian Beltre on the leg. Doug Fister (0-2) gave up six runs — four earned — over 3 2/3 innings in his third start since Boston claimed him off waivers from the Los Angeles Angels last month. Profar had two doubles, including a tworun liner to right-center for an 8-0 lead in the fifth, after being called up from Triple-A Round Rock when shortstop Elvis Andrus went on the paternity list. WHERE'S ELVIS Andrus, one of five candidates for the final AL All-Star spot, wasn't on Texas' active roster for the first time since making his major league debut as a 20-year-old shortstop to start 2009. Andrus and his new wife were expecting their first child. He's played 1,303 career games. THE DAY AFTER Andrew Benintendi went 0 for 2 with a pair of walks the day after becoming the first Red Sox rookie to have multiple five-hit games in one season. He also had a two-run single in the 11th inning of Boston's 7-5 win in the series opener. TRAINER'S ROOM Red Sox LHP Eduardo Rodriguez will join the team at Tampa Bay and throw a bullpen

No. 3 pick Jayson Tatum continues to shine in Summer League SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Danny Ainge sat with a look of satisfaction Wednesday as he watched Boston play the San Antonio Spurs in summer league action. It's been quite a week for the Celtics president of basketball operations. The franchise came to an agreement with Gordon Hayward on a four-year, $128 million deal on Tuesday. Ainge also watched rookie Jayson Tatum, the No. 3 overall pick, shine in his first two professional games at the Utah Jazz Summer League. Fans heckled Ainge throughout the game, but nothing seemed to bother him or coach Brad Stevens. Tatum put on a show again, with 23 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 31 minutes. The rookie showed a bit of everything on offense, including a tip-dunk that had the crowd gasping. "He's going to be a pretty good player in this league for a long time," Celtics summer league coach Jerome Allen said. "As the games progress, I think I'm beyond feeling surprise by what he's able to do on the floor, from a number of different spots on the floor. It's

(AP) good to see solid production out of him." The Spurs won 81-70, but Tatum's performance was most important to Celtics fans. He hit the go-ahead jumper on Monday with 5.7 seconds remaining. "I'm just trying to be wellrounded," Tatum said. "There's effort in diving to
the floor and rebounding. It doesn't take skill to do those things. I'm just giving that extra effort to help the team." Bryn Forbes paced the Spurs with a game-high 31 points, including a 6-for-8 effort from behind the arc. Dejounte Murray struggled with five points on 0-for-10 shooting.
over the weekend after struggling for a second straight rehab start. He's been out since June 1 with a right knee injury. UP NEXT Red Sox: LHP Chris Sale (11-3, 2.61 ERA), a potential AL All-Star starter Tuesday, pitches the opener of a four-game series at Tampa Bay on Thursday. He leads the majors with
166 strikeouts and has won 10 of 11 decisions. Rangers: LHP Cole Hamels (3-0, 4.12) gets the opener of a three-game home series against the Angels on Friday. It will be his third start since missing almost two months with a right oblique strain.

Dear Annie By ANNIE LANE
Wedding Dress Codes Demystified Dear Annie: I recently attended the wedding of a college friend of mine. In the days preceding the wedding, a buddy of mine asked whether I was going to wear a tuxedo. I told him no, because the invitation said “formal attire.” I interpreted “formal” to mean I should wear a suit, whereas “black tie” would have meant men should wear a tux. We asked our respective wives and decided that “formal” meant suit. The wedding took place during the summer in Southern California. I wore a true-blue suit, blue shirt and light red linen tie. I thought it was perfect for the venue, time of year and location. My buddy wore something comparable. However, when we showed up in our suits, we were surprised to see that almost everyone else was wearing tuxes. Business? Business casual? Business cool? Formal? Black tie? Black tie optional? Toptional? Is there a council of elders who decide what we can wear and when? I am writing to you to get the definitive ruling on ambiguous attire definitions. Feeling underdressed is the pits. -- Dressed to Be Stressed Dear Dressed: Here’s a brief overview of what wedding dress codes mean for men. If the invitation says “white tie,” dress to the nines -- with a long black jacket with tails, a white bow tie and a white vest. To a “black tie” wedding, always wear a tuxedo. If it’s “formal,” a tuxedo or dark suit and tie will do. “Semiformal” or “cocktail” denotes a suit and tie. For a “casual” wedding, go with dress pants and a buttondown shirt. If you’re not sure, err on the side of formal. It’s less embarrassing to be overdressed than it is to be underdressed. Dear Annie: This is in response to “Babied Pre-Law Student,” who wants to attend law school out of state but is meeting resistance from her parents. What was not very clear was whether the potential law student is expecting her parents to support the decision no matter what the cost is to them. If her parents are willing and able to pay for in-state tuition and expenses, that is a boon not to be taken lightly. If she wants to go out of state, perhaps her parents could contribute the amount they’d pay if she stayed in state and she could cover the rest. If this person is truly “an adult and able to make (her) own decisions,” shouldn’t that include paying her own way? If anyone is still dependent on her parents for all expenses, I am not sure she is truly an adult. -- Katherine Dear Katherine: I feel the same way. Being an adult means being financially independent. I took the letter writer to mean that she’d be taking out loans and paying for law school herself, but I may have been too generous in that assumption. If in fact her parents are putting her through law school, she should absolutely not expect them to foot the bill at whatever the cost. Your suggestion -- that her parents contribute an amount equal to in-state tuition and she cover the rest -- is a good one. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators. com.
HINTS FROM HELOISE A BOWL OF SAVINGS Dear Heloise: My mother uses this simple but very HELPFUL KITCHEN IDEA: She puts a large plastic bowl in her sink and fills it with warm, soapy water for cleaning her dishes or rinsing them before putting them in the dishwasher. This uses less water than filling up the sink with soapy water because the bowl is smaller than the sink. After washing/rinsing all her dishes, she dries the plastic bowl and stores it under her sink until the next cleanup after a meal. I liked the idea, so I bought a plastic bowl for myself and have started using it. -- Angela in Conroe, Texas Simple water savings! Soak especially icky dishes and silverware in the bowl, too! Let the water do the work; saves time and scrubbing. -- Heloise IT’S IN THE BAG Dear Heloise: It’s summertime, and time to change purses. I like to downsize and lighten up my bags. I just can’t lug around a heavy bag, and summer is the perfect excuse to lose weight (at least with my handbag -- ha!). So what’s left after I lighten up? In my summer bag, which is a small, canvas crossbody with a light-beige lining so I can easily see my things in there, I keep a compact wallet with my debit card, driver’s license (ID) and cash. Also, a few tissues, a pocket mirror and my favorite lipstick go in the main compartment, along with my phone and keys. I clean out all shopping lists, receipts and other papers nightly. Summer is a simple time, and I like to go small with my handbag; it’s less to worry about. I’m wondering what your readers carry in their bags? -- Alice A. in Colorado Yes, readers, join in the conversation! What do you carry in your bag? And carrying heavy handbags can be a pain in the neck! Seriously, lightening up your purse can positively affect your posture. The average weight of a woman’s purse, according to one study, is just over 6 pounds! Picture a bag of sugar hanging off your shoulder. That’s heavy. Lighten up! -- Heloise

CNN faces backlash over handling of doctored Trump video By DAVID BAUDER AP Television Writer NEW YORK (AP) — CNN says safety concerns led to its decision not to reveal the identity of the man behind a doctored anti-CNN video. Yet the way the decision was explained and deep distrust of the network among President Donald Trump's supporters provoked a backlash Wednesday. The network said late Tuesday it had identified the Reddit user who originally posted an old WWE video of Trump "roughing up" pro wrestling maven Vince McMahon, superimposing the CNN logo over McMahon's face. Trump tweeted a link to the video, with some modifications, and it has become the president's most-shared social media post yet, according to Twitter. Reporter Andrew Kaczynski said in an online story that CNN had found the Reddit user, who used the tag "HanA-----Solo," and reached out to him Monday. Before returning Kaczynski's message the next day, the user posted a public apology for the Trump video — he called it a prank — and for some racist and anti-Semitic postings also made under that name. He said he was just trying to get a reaction and didn't mean what he said, and was closing his Reddit account. CNN said online that it had decided not to publish the user's name because he is a private citizen who apologized, showed remorse and said he would not repeat his ugly behavior. "CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change," Kaczynski wrote. That last sentence made CNN a target. "That's essentially blackmail," wrote conservative activist Ben Shapiro. "That's CNN stating that it will out the guy if he dares to defy their political perspective or offends them sufficiently." Such charges spread swiftly online. Fox News Channel host Sean Hannity shared another video on Twitter, this one showing a professional wrestler whose face was replaced with a Trump picture bashing several other men identified as "CNN" with a chair. "Is CNN going to blackmail this person, too?" Hannity asked. CNN said Wednesday that it did not publish the user's name out of concern for his safety, and that any claim that it tried to blackmail or coerce him was false. Kaczynski tweeted that the user told him he had not been threatened in any way. CNN's online critics, including Donald Trump Jr., claimed the Reddit user was a 15-year-old boy. CNN said he was an adult male and Kaczynski tweeted, "People claiming he's 15 are wrong." The video sent out by Trump on Sunday morning had been retweeted more than 340,000 times by Wednesday morning.
Copies of the New York Post with an illustration of President Donald Trump as a professional wrestler on the front page are displayed at a newsstand in New York City, Monday, July 3, 2017. (AP Photo/Richard Drew) That passes Trump's tweet the morning of last November's election — "TODAY WE MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! — as his most-shared post, Twitter said. CNN also received heat from another direction for its decision to withhold the user's name. There are many reasons to keep a name out of a story, said William Grueskin, a Columbia University professor. The person could be an abuse victim, a confidential witness whose life or job would be endangered, a source promised anonymity or a juvenile. The Reddit user "doesn't appear to fit any of these categories," he said. "That puts a high expectation on other reporters, who are asked every day to withhold names and who don't, for good reason," he said. "Are others now supposed to engage in a negotiation with sources that illustrates moral probity and predicts future conduct?" Indira Lakshmanan, an expert on journalism ethics for the Poynter Institute, said she has no problem with CNN finding out the user's identity, since the person put his opinions in the public square and boasted about the president's retweet. She said it's more likely the user pleaded with CNN to have his name withheld out of fear than the network trying to blackmail him in any way. Still, she said, the network could have explained its decision better and the "reserves the right" claim is unnecessarily problematic.
A film claims to solve the mystery of Amelia Earhart’s fate By FRAZIER MOORE AP Television Writer NEW YORK (AP) — The photo is haunting. Among a number of figures gathered on a dock, the fuzzy image seems to be that of a woman, her back to the camera, gazing at what may be her crippled aircraft loaded on a barge, and perhaps wondering what her future might hold. Is this Amelia Earhart, the worldfamous aviator, witnessed after her mysterious disappearance while attempting the first round-the-world flight 80 years ago this month? That is the theory put forth in "Amelia Earhart: The Lost Evidence," a twohour documentary airing Sunday at 9 p.m. EDT on the History channel. It uncovers records, including this newly revealed photograph that shows what may be a healthy Earhart along with her navigator Fred Noonan, after they were last heard from. The film also argues that after the pair crash-landed in the Japanese-held Marshall Islands, they were picked up by the Japanese military and that Earhart, perhaps presumed to be a U.S. spy, was held prisoner. And there's more: The United States government knew of her whereabouts and did nothing to rescue her, according to the film. The disappearance of Earhart and Noonan on July 2, 1937, in the Western
In this June 6, 1937, file photo, Amelia Earhart, the American airwoman who is flying round the world for fun, arrived at Port Natal, Brazil, and took off on her 2,240-mile flight across the South Atlantic to Dakar, Africa. A new documentary "Amelia Earhart: The Lost Evidence," which airs Sunday, July 9, 2017, on the History channel, proposes Earhart didn't die without a trace 80 years ago. (AP Photo, File) Pacific Ocean has gained legendary status among the age's unsolved mysteries. By then she had already logged numerous aviation feats, including that of being the first woman to fly solo
across the Atlantic Ocean in 1932. She reigned as an international hero. And yet the U.S. government closed the book on its investigation just two weeks after her disappearance. Its vaguely worded findings were inconclusive. Was there a cover-up? The film proposes there was. The documentary is hosted by former FBI Executive Assistant Director Shawn Henry, whose fascination with the case is equaled by former U.S. Treasury Agent Les Kinney, who discovered the photo hidden and mislabeled in the U.S. National Archives. In the documentary, that photo is subjected to facial-recognition and other forensic testing. It is judged authentic, and likely that of Earhart and Noonan. The film also displays plane parts found in an uninhabited island of the Marshall Islands by Earhart investigator Dick Spink that are consistent with the aircraft that Earhart was flying on her round-the-world attempt. And it hears from the last living eyewitness who claims to have seen Earhart and Noonan after their crash. The documentary tells of "a worldfamous aviator who got caught up in an international dispute, was abandoned by her own government, and made the ultimate sacrifice," Henry sums up. "She may very well be the first casualty of World War II."

You have a lot to think about and a lot on your plate right now. Tonight: Do whatever you need to. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Manage a matter by tapping into your cleverness. You’ll remain clearheaded, even when translating a creative, inspirational idea. You have a way of drawing others into your way of thinking. A romantic tie could demand some time. Tonight: Do not mix business with pleasure. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Take a risk, even if you have moments of trepidation and find yourself wanting to run for the hills. Fight the instinct to run away or disappear. In the long run, you will find this type of selfdiscipline to be a tremendous asset. Tonight: Settle in to what you would like to be a routine. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Investigate what could be a problem if not handled quickly and carefully. A heartfelt discussion allows you to express your vulnerabilities. A friend appreciates this conversation, especially as you express a considerable amount of trust in this person. Tonight: Out and about. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You often mix friendship and work, or you get friends involved when pursuing a professional goal. Accept a “no” rather than cause any uproar. Given time, you will get a “yes” or two. In any case, focus on the positives. Tonight: Surround yourself with fun friends. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You’ll take a step onto the stage and steal the show. Others like your ideas and will support you in making them become a reality. Assess what is needed for you to continue to achieve your goals. You enjoy being in the limelight. Tonight: Relish the attention. BORN TODAY Painter Frida Kahlo (1907), former U.S. first lady Nancy Reagan (1921), comedian Kevin Hart (1979)
