Traffic commission makes decision on two city roads

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—The city’s traffic commission has made decisions on two roads that residents have had complaints about recently.

The Westfield Traffic Commission has determined that no further action will be made on Honey Pot Road and Root Road following traffic studies on the roads. The roads have been the topic of some complaints from residents who live on and around them in past meetings.

Regarding Honey Pot Road, two traffic studies were done after residents brought concerns forth about multiple turns on the road and drivers allegedly traveling them in excess of the posted speed limit. The commission responded, conducting a traffic study and lowering the speed limit from 30 MPH to 25 MPH. However, there were still requests to lower it further, going as low as 20 MPH. Traffic Commission member and Westfield Police Chief John Camerota said that the determination to not lower Honey Pot Road again was made following the findings of the two traffic studies.

“The reports would indicate no further action on our part,” he said.

According to Camerota, an average of 210 vehicles per day were traveling the road during the study, which showed that

traffic not related to those who live on the road may be low.

Camerota said that there are about 36 homes on the road, and if two people leave the homes and come back, that totals 174 trips on the road, which would leave about 36 trips not to or from residences, according to Camerota’s estimations.

In addition, he said that there was “not a lot of speeding” during the time of the studies.

The two studies took place over a total of five days, first from Aug. 28 beginning at 9:30 a.m., to Aug. 31 at 9:45 a.m., then a second from Sept. 5 at 10:30 a.m. until Sept. 7 at 12:45 p.m.

Regarding Root Road, Camerota said that the traffic commission will also not change the speed limit from 40 MPH to 30 MPH on the road after a traffic study showed low amounts of speeding on the thoroughfare. The road was previously given areas of “No Parking” as a result of resident concerns but a speed limit change was not done.

“Right now I don’t see enough to make a move towards 30 [MPH] but that could change,” Camerota said. “We’ll look at it, I promise you we’ll look at it.”

However, Camerota said that most operators are comfortable with the current speed limit.

According to the traffic study, 659 total vehicles were recorded traveling on Root Road from July 26 at 9:15 a.m., to July 28 at 11:15 a.m.

Huntington resident concerned about town’s commitment to designated scenic roads

By AMY PORTER Correspondent HUNTINGTON – Jill Gaitenby Eldredge of Tucker Road in Huntington came before the Board of Selectmen on Wednesday to ask if the town was committed to maintaining its historic scenic roads.

Eldredge said that she grew up on Tucker Road, and had ancestors in the area going back to the 1700’s. Her father, William Gaitenby started the Huntington Historical Society, of which she is a member. She said that Tucker Road and Sampson Road, both dirt roads, were designated as scenic roads at the Annual Town Meeting in May, 1994.

According to Article 19 that year, which passed 42 to 24, the designation was given “to preserve the natural character and physical appearance of said roads; and to instruct the Planning Board, in exercising its responsibilities hereunder, to take into consideration sound planning principles, aesthetic considerations and preservation of natural resources, as well as public safety.”

Eldredge said no other discussion was recorded. According to Mass General Law 15C, after a road has been designated as a scenic road any repair, maintenance, reconstruction or paving work done shall not include the cutting or removal of trees, or the tearing down or destruction of stone walls except with the prior written consent of the planning board, after a public hearing to be held prior to the work being done.

Eldredge said her two main concerns involved the widening of Tucker Road at her property frontage and stone wall, and whether the town is committed to maintaining its historic scenic roads. She said in the 1990’s, she moved the stone wall above ground and five foot back. She said the highway department under the previous superintendent gouged into the base of the former stone wall and removed stones from it, and widened the road for trucks.

Eldredge said she was concerned about her 200 feet of frontage and that the recreational value of the road has been diminished for walkers, joggers and horseback riders due to widen-

The Westfield Traffic Commission during yesterday’s meeting.

Of those vehicles, 517–which was about 78 percent–actually traveled below the 40 MPH speed limit, while 111 traveled over the speed limit. Of the 111 that exceeded the speed limit, 13 went faster than 45 MPH. Camerota acknowledged that activity on the road has been increasing however, and said that another traffic study would be done and that residents will be heard.

“As we hear complaints we’re taking measures and we’ll continue to look at it,” he said.

Southwick Police receive reports of multiple car break-ins

Jill Eldredge of Tucker Road in Huntington asked selectmen to recommit to its historic scenic road designation. ing.

She said that more recently the DPW removed another two feet of bank in front of her wall, along with the fill that she had placed in it, in order to install a ditch for drainage.

Huntington Highway Superintendent Charles Dazelle said he did not take two feet of bank from the road, and there was still 5-6 feet from the stone wall to the ditch. He said the road has been the same width all the way down. He also said the road is all rock, and needs a good foot of gravel . “It’s complicated to do anything on the road,” Dazelle said.

Selectman Darlene McVeigh asked if the regulations would allow the road to be tarred.

Eldredge said the regulations state that scenic roads can be tarred, but half of the residents living there don’t want it, due to increased speeds. She said the speed limit should be no more than 15mph on the road.

McVeigh asked Dazelle when he was planning to go back up to Tucker for more work.

He said the soonest would be in April of 2018. He told Eldredge he would be happy to get together with her then, and move the ditch out.

Chair Edward Renauld suggested that Eldredge get together meanwhile with the Planning Board to create a town bylaw for scenic roads, similar to one from Weston, MA that she had shown them. Selectman Karon Hathaway said she would be tagging onto Article 19 that was approved in 1994.

Renauld asked Eldredge to make sure she worked with the DPW on the bylaw. “It’s not just going to be for Tucker Road,” he said.

By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent SOUTHWICK – On Tuesday evening, the Southwick Police Department issued a notice through social media about receiving multiple reports this week of car break-ins.

According to the statement, the car breaks-ins have occurred in the West section of town. Det. Sgt. Robert Landis went on to say that all of the reports took place on streets off of main roads where there is not a lot of motor vehicle traffic, other than vehicles that live in those neighborhoods.

It was reported that the doors of all of the vehicles broken into were unlocked and in some instances the keys were left in the

ignition. The suspected thieves took money, purses, credit cards, and electronic devices.

Landis is asking residents to look out for each other and make sure their vehicles and belongings are secure.

“People need to be a little more vigilant,” said Landis. “It’s important for people living in these areas to report things out of place.”

The Southwick Police Department sent out a town-wide announcement last night to notify residents of the reported car breakins and to be on the lookout. While police are looking into a few leads, this investigation is ongoing.

WSU addresses discriminatory display WESTFIELD – A Westfield State University student posted to social media Tuesday evening images of offensive language of a discriminatory nature that was found written on campus.

The University has stated that the incident is being investigated and those found responsible for these actions will be held accountable and disciplined.

Dr. Ramon Torrecilha, President of Westfield State University issued the following statement to student and all staff members of the university: “Dear Campus Community: It has been brought to my attention that discriminatory and highly offensive language has been posted on a message board outside of a student’s room in New Hall. I am strongly disturbed by the motivation to engage in such a hurtful act against another individual.

We are currently investigating this unacceptable behavior. This will not be tolerated and is in strong contrast with the values and mission of Westfield State University.

Fire Academy graduates include one Westfield firefighter

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent SPRINGFIELD—A Westfield firefighterparamedic was among the 21 graduates from the fifth class of the Massachusetts Fire Academy’s Recruit Firefighting Training Program in Springfield.

Westfield firefighter-paramedic Cody Chatterton graduated with 21 other men from 10 departments across the western Massachusetts area yesterday, culminating a 50-day training program at the Springfield location. With Chatterton finishing, the Westfield Fire Department will be back to full staff, according to Westfield Fire Chief Mary Regan.

“We will be full staff for the first time in a long time, and no one will be away for school,” Regan said. “Very excited, it’s about

time.”

According to Regan, there are still unspecified injuries, but aside from those the department is at full staff. In addition, there is no expectation to hire any new personnel in the near future.

She said that the full staffing could have positive impacts on the department, both from a public safety and from a personnel perspective.

“This will not only affect responses but workload,” she said.

Regarding the training, Regan said that it gives firefighters a chance to gain practical experience in the field, which is valuable in today’s firefighting.

“Firefighting today requires a lot more skills than just the basics,” she said.

These skills include safety, decision-mak-

ing, how to operate a variety of tools and apparatus, as well as working in what is known as “turnout gear,” or the heavy protective clothing and equipment that is worn when firefighters are responding to certain emergencies.

From a press release by the Department of Fire Services on the graduation: “Students learn all the basic skills they need to respond to fires and to contain and control them. They are also given training in public fire education, hazardous material A photo provided by the Massachusetts incident mitigation, flammable liquids, Department of Fire Services of the 21 Fire stress management, confined space rescue Academy graduates. techniques, and rappelling.

ODDS & ENDS Woman: I’d rather go to jail than take down pro-Trump signs ROCKLAND, Maine (AP) — A Maine woman says she’d rather go to jail than take down her pro-Donald Trump signs.

Susan Reitman’s signs say “I Love Trump” and “He Won, Get over it.” But the code enforcement officer in Rockland has notified her that the signs violate a local ordinance, because they are bigger than the town allows. She could be fined between $100 or more per day.

Town officials say there’s a process to apply for permits to display larger signs.

But Reitman tells New England Cable News that her free speech rights are more important than the ordinance. She says she has no intention of removing her signs — or paying any fines.

She tells NECN: “If I have to sit in jail for the rest of eternity, that’s my choice.”

Navy Veteran receives ‘Quilted Hugs of Gratitude’

By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent SOUTHWICK – Robert Tysz, who is a United States Navy Veteran, was surprised last Sunday afternoon at his home with a crafted quilt from his sister, Joyce Bannish.

Bannish is a long-time member of the Quilters Guild, which is a nationwide organization.

The quilt crafted by Bannish is called a “Quilted Hugs of Gratitude,” which symbolizes her brother’s military service and the sacrifices he has made for his country.

The hope is that the quilt will give Tysz comfort, love, and healing. Tysz served with the Seabees in Chu Lai, Vietnam, from December 1965 thru August 1966.

Creating the quilt was considered a time-consuming effort for Bannish, as it took her well over 100 hours to complete

Teams needed for Making Strides Walk

By LORI SZEPELAK Correspondent WESTFIELD-April Lassard is passionate about raising funds for important causes – especially the American Cancer Society – and its annual “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Pioneer Valley Walk” – slated Oct. 29 at Stanley Park.

Lassard’s passion for putting the American Cancer Society at the top of her charity list is simple – three generations of women in her immediate family have been diagnosed with breast cancer – as well as friends and coworkers.

“You never know when cancer will affect you,” said Lassard, noting she was only five when her grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer. In later years, her mother, Esther Lassard of Westfield, now at 79, was

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2017- PAGE 3

also diagnosed with breast cancer, as well as one of her sisters.

“My sister developed breast cancer in her 30’s, even before my mother was diagnosed,” said Lassard, adding how frightening that feeling was to absorb.

Lassard met with Mahsoun Choudhury, community development manager, northeast region, American Cancer Society, on Monday afternoon at Stanley Park to start talking about her recruitment efforts.

Her team is called “Team Tighe & Bond” to reflect the many co-workers who support her – either walking by her side or making donations to the cause. Her mother and one of her sisters, Lisa Murray of Westfield, will also be a part of the team.

“Everyone at the firm is supportive of each other’s

charitable causes throughout the year,” said Lassard, a senior contracts manager.

“Two co-workers, Nicole Rose of Westfield and Libby Baldwin of Southampton, a survivor herself, will be among those walking as part of the team.”

Choudhury noted that the 5K walk is a “noncompetitive, inspirational event” that raises awareness and funds to end breast cancer and provide hope to ensure no one faces breast cancer alone.

“As we join with others in the Making Strides walk, we celebrate breast cancer survivors, pay tribute to loved ones lost, and raise funds to move us one step closer to a world without breast cancer,” said Choudhury.

Since 1993, more than 13 million supporters have raised more than $810 million nationwide, according to

Choudhury.

“Last year, 450 walkers in the Pioneer Valley helped to raise more than $51,000,” he said.

Prospects for air traffic control privatization appear slim

By JOAN LOWY Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has made airlines' longtime goal of privatizing air traffic control a key part of his agenda to boost America's infrastructure. But his prospects for closing the deal with Congress appear slim.

A House bill that would put the aviation industry in charge of air traffic control has repeatedly stalled and prospects appear even worse in the Senate, where there has been no effort to take up the issue. While the White House and airline lobbyists have pushed for privatization, there has been fierce opposition from private pilots, corporate aircraft owners and others who fear they will have to pay more to use the system and would lose access to busy airports.

Airlines have pushed for getting the government out of air traffic operations for decades and seemed to have the brightest prospects after meeting with Trump early this year. Trump embraced the idea as part of his overall plan to boost infrastructure — a big part of his campaign promise to create jobs.

While Trump has offered few other specifics about his overall infrastructure plans, he put the spotlight on air-traffic privatization at a White House infrastructure event in June.

Three weeks later, the House transportation committee approved a bill by its chairman, Pennsylvania Republican Bill Shuster, to spin off air traffic control from the Federal Aviation Administration and place it under the authority of a private, non-profit corporation run by aviation interests, including airlines.

But the bill still hasn't come to the House floor. Trump's special assistant for infrastructure policy, D.J. Gribbin, told an airline industry conference last week that House leaders are planning a vote in early October. But the bill's supporters acknowledge the vote would have already happened if there was enough support to pass it.

"We're working on it," Rep. Paul Mitchell, R-Michigan, told reporters. "We don't have all the votes yet."

Lawmakers in both parties have expressed concern about Congress losing oversight of such an important, traditionally government-run function. The handover of about 300 airport towers and other flight tracking centers would be one of the largest transfers of U.S. government assets ever. About 35,000 workers would be affected.

Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida, the senior Democrat on the Commerce Committee, which oversees the FAA, called the House plan "a classic case of a costly solution looking for a problem."

"It's an idea that went nowhere in the Senate last year and is destined to meet the same fate this year," he said.

Airlines say the FAA has shown itself incapable of executing its plan to use technology to transform America's air traffic system, saving time, fuel and money and increasing the system's capacity to handle more planes as air travel grows. Part of the FAA's problem is that the vagaries of the government's budget process have limited the agency's ability to commit to long-term contracts and raise money for major expenditures.

Placing the system under a corporation that can borrow money against future revenue would lead to greater efficiency and more reliable funding, airlines say.

Many countries have separated air-traffic operations from their safety regulator in recent years, with most creating government-owned corporations, independent government agencies or quasi-governmental entities. The House bill is modeled after Canada's air traffic corporation, Nav Canada, the only clearly private nonprofit air-traffic corporation. Privatization supporters say Nav Canada has made smart decisions that have enabled it to adopt more advanced technology while reducing fees to airlines and other users.

But opponents fear privatization will give airlines too much power over the aviation system.

By CHAD DAY Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — In the middle of Donald Trump's presidential run, then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort said he was willing to provide "private briefings" about the campaign to a Russian billionaire the U.S. government considers close to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Manafort's offer was memorialized in an email exchange with a former employee of his political consulting firm in July 2016. It was first reported by The Washington Post, which said portions of Manafort's emails were read to reporters.

Manafort spokesman Jason Maloni confirmed to The Associated Press that the email exchanges were legitimate but said no briefings ever occurred. The email involved an offer for Oleg Deripaska, a wealthy Russian who made his money in the aluminum business.

The July 7, 2016, email came a little over a week before the Republican National Convention, while Manafort was leading the Trump campaign's day-to-day operations. It also occurred about a month after Manafort attended a meeting with a Russian lawyer at Trump Tower. That meeting was brokered by Donald Trump Jr., who was told in emails that the meeting was part of a Russian government effort to help his father's campaign.

The Manafort email exchange regarding Deripaska is one of thousands of pages of material turned over to congressional committees by the Trump campaign. It is also in the possession of special counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating whether there was any coordination between Trump associates and Russians looking to interfere in the presidential campaign. Mueller is also probing Manafort's taxes and his foreign banking as part of an investigation related to his consulting work in Ukraine.

Manafort has denied any wrongdoing, saying his work in Ukraine was open and appropriate. He has also denied any involvement in any efforts to undermine the U.S. election on behalf of Russia. Deripaska has denied any involvement with the Trump campaign and said he is willing to testify before congressional committees investigating Russian election interference to defend his reputation and his name.

According to the Post, Manafort wrote the email to a former employee, Konstantin Kilimnik, who had worked for years with him on political consulting in Ukraine. Manafort asked Kilimnik to pass the offer to Deripaska.

"If he needs private briefings we can accommodate," Manafort wrote — referring to Deripaska — in the email, according to the Post.

In a statement, Maloni dismissed the correspondence as "innocuous." He said the exchange was part of an effort on Manafort's part to collect money from clients who owed him money. The Post reported that several email exchanges between Manafort and Kilimnik discussed money that Manafort said he was owed by former clients in Eastern Europe.

"It is no secret Mr. Manafort was owed money by past clients after his work ended in 2014," Maloni said in the statement.

The email is the first to indicate that Manafort was attempting to reach Deripaska while he was working on the Trump campaign, but it's unclear whether the offer ever reached Deripaska or his representatives. The Post reported that according to documents detailed to its reporters, there was no evidence Deripaska received the offer.

Attorneys for Deripaska in New York and Washington did not respond to phone messages or emails Wednesday evening.

Kilimnik did not immediately respond to an email Wednesday evening. A phone number previously used by him was not accepting calls.

The Post quoted Vera Kurochkina, a spokeswoman for one of Deripaska's companies, who said inquiries about the emails "veer into manufactured questions so grossly false and insinuating that I am concerned even responding to these fake connotations provides them the patina of reality." She also dismissed the email exchanges, the Post said, as scheming by "consultants in the notorious 'Beltway bandit' industry."

The Associated Press reported in March that before signing with Trump's campaign, Manafort secretly worked for Deripaska and proposed plans for political consulting work in Eastern Europe that he said could "greatly benefit the Putin Government."

(AP Photo/Matt Rourke, File)

In a 2005 memo to Deripaska, Manafort laid out the details of the proposal that were subsequently spelled out the following year as part of a $10 million contract, according to interviews with people familiar with payments to Manafort and business records obtained by the AP. It's unclear how much of the work was carried out. The AP previously reported that Manafort and Deripaska maintained a business relationship until at least 2009. The two later had a falling-out laid bare in 2014 in a Cayman Islands court.

The AP cited U.S. diplomatic cables from 2006 describing Deripaska as "among the 2-3 oligarchs Putin turns to on a regular basis" and "a more-or-less permanent fixture on Putin's trips abroad." Deripaska has also sworn in a New York state court document that he has been granted "a diplomatic passport from Russia, and on occasion I have represented the government in countries outside Russia."

Deripaska sued the AP for defamation over the story in May in U.S. District Court in Washington, alleging the story was inaccurate and hurt his career by falsely accusing him of criminal activity. Deripaska's lawyers complained to the AP at the time that the article "suggests that Mr. Deripaska has been involved with Mr. Manafort more recently," and the lawsuit said, "Mr. Deripaska severed relations with Mr. Manafort many years ago." The AP has said it stands by the accuracy of its story, and has asked a federal judge to dismiss the lawsuit.

Manafort has previously said he worked for Deripaska to advance his business interests but denied his work was meant to advance Russia's interests.

The Post reported that Kilimnik and Manafort at times referred to Deripaska as "OVD" in the emails. That shorthand is consistent with how Manafort and other employees at his former consulting business referred to the billionaire in other documents obtained by the AP, including the 2005 proposal that referred to a plan to "greatly benefit the Putin Government."

According to other emails obtained by the AP that are in the hands of Mueller and congressional committees, Manafort had previously shut down efforts to have Trump meet with Russians during the campaign.

In mid-May 2016, a Trump campaign aide wrote to Manafort that "Russia has been eager to meet Mr. Trump for quite some time," noting that representatives from the country had been reaching out to him.

Manafort responded to his deputy, Rick Gates, that the meetings were a nonstarter. "We need someone to communicate that DT is not doing these trips," he wrote, referring to Trump. The two decided that the communication should come from a person in the campaign who responds to "all mail of non-importance" so as not to send a message.

Judge rescinds impoundment order in quadruple slaying AYER, Mass. (AP) — A judge has ruled that some court records in the case of a Maine man charged with killing his mother, grandparents and their caretaker in a Massachusetts home will be made public.

Judge Margaret Guzman impounded the records after Orion Krause, of Rockport, Maine, was arraigned on Sept. 11 in the slayings in Groton three days earlier.

But the judge on Wednesday rescinded the impoundment order after media outlets challenged it on constitutional grounds. The redacted records will not be released immediately because Krause's lawyer was granted a stay so he can appeal the decision. The attorney says the documents should be impounded to protect his client's right to a fair trial and the privacy interests of his family.

The 22-year-old Krause has pleaded not guilty and is undergoing a competency evaluation.

DA: Dismissal of charge in Kennedy party case ‘very normal’ BARNSTABLE, Mass.

(AP) — A prosecutor in Massachusetts says a criminal charge brought and ultimately dropped against a Kennedy family member after a loud party was a routine matter that only attracted attention because of the Kennedy name.

Michael O'Keefe told The Boston Globe Wednesday that the dismissal of a disorderly conduct charge against Matthew "Max" Kennedy is "very normal." Kennedy was found responsible for a noise violation and paid a $150 fine.

O'Keefe also says he expects a disturbing the peace charge against Kennedy's daughter, 22-year-old Caroline Kennedy, to be resolved. The pair were arrested at a Hyannis (hy-AN'-ihs) Port home Aug. 20.

Caroline Kennedy is scheduled to be arraigned Nov. 22,

the 54th anniversary of the assassination of her great uncle President John F. Kennedy. Her attorneys had no immediate comment.

Mahsoun Choudhury, community development manager, northeast region, American Cancer Society, is recruiting walkers for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Pioneer Valley Walk at Stanley Park. April Lassard of Westfield is among the team captains already recruiting walkers.

Walk

Continued from Page 3 Choudhury noted that funds raised through the walks nationwide enable the American Cancer Society to invest in “groundbreaking research,” as well as provide free, comprehensive information and support to those touched by breast cancer, and help people take steps to reduce their breast cancer risk or find it early when it’s most treatable.

Registration for the walk – conducted rain or shine – begins at 10 a.m. at the Meeting House and a short opening ceremony starts at 11 a.m., followed by the walk at 11:05.

“We encourage survivors to say a few words about their journey,” said Choudhury, adding that along the route the Westfield Police Department provides a helpful presence.

“We get a lot of support from the Westfield Police which we very much appreciate,” he said.

Lassard, now in her fifth year as a team leader, encourages area residents to consider joining this year’s walk – either individually or as a team – noting “any amount raised makes a difference.”

“It’s hard to describe the feeling you get when you have the opportunity to be part of something bigger than yourself,” she said. “It is just a truly awesome feeling, both humbling and exhilarating. I encourage all to join the walk.”

For more details on the event, visit MakingStridesWalk.org/ pioneervalleyma or call the American Cancer Society at (800) 227-2345. Pre-registration for the walk is preferred, however, registrations will also be accepted that morning.

“From research to education, prevention to diagnosis, and treatment to recovery, we provide support to everyone impacted by breast cancer,” said Choudhury.

Rags Gets A Goodspeed Makeover Rags, the famed 1986 musical flop, had a lot of promise going for it, when it opened in Boston enroute to Broadway.

It featured a book by Joseph Stein, who had written Fiddler on The Roof. Charles Strouse of Bye Bye Birdie fame wrote the music, and Stephen Schwartz, the genius behind Wicked, wrote the lyrics. Its all-star cast included Theresa Stratas from the Metropolitan Opera, Connecticut Repertory Theatre’s Terrence Mann, and Judy Kuhn. Broadway, however, was indifferent towards Rags, which some described as a sequel to Fiddler on The Roof–the immigrant story after they arrived at Ellis Island. Mixed reviews and little advance sales caused the show to shutter after a handful of performances. The score was recorded, and it’s a musthave among musical theatre collectors.

Goodspeed Musicals is retooling Rags, which plays October 6-December 10 in East Haddam, CT. Original creators Charles Strouse and Stephen Schwartz have teamed up with David Thompson, who has adapted Joseph Stein’s book, to rework this timely and inspiring piece. Goodspeed explores the grit and determination of American immigrants through this joyous reimagining of a musical by some of Broadways biggest legends.

They’ve got TheaterWorks Artistic Director Rob Ruggiero, whose staged Goodspeed’s Fiddler on The Roof and La Cage Aux Folles to direct. Parker Esse will choreograph.

The Rags company includes Samantha Massell from the most recent Broadway revival of Fiddler on The Roof as Rebecca, the role originated

by Stratas. Connecticut native Christian Michael Camporin,

David Harris in Goodspeed’s production of Rags.

Samantha Massell in Goodspeed’s production of Rags. who was in the original Broadway production of Finding Neverland, plays her son. Sean MacLaughlin, from the national tour of Evita, Adam Heller who played Tevye in Goodspeed’s Fiddler on The Roof, and Australian musical star David Harris, most recently seen in TheaterWorks’ Next to Normal and Barrington Stage’s Ragtime are also featured.

Linda Cho, Tony Award nominee for her costume designs for Hartford Stage’s and Broadway’s Anastasia, is designing the schmattas.

You can be a part of Rags’ next chapter. For details: 860.873.8668 or www.goodspeed.org

Rams sweep Tigers, eye title

By CHRIS PUTZ Correspondent SOUTH HADLEY – The SouthwickTolland Regional High School golf team is well on its way to taking its game to the next level.

On Wednesday, the 2016 Western Massachusetts runners-up Southwick Rams completed a sweep of South Hadley, defeating the Tigers 15.5-8.5 at the Ledges Golf Club.

“It was definitely a huge win because that pretty much secured the Suburban East league championship,” Southwick coach Al Selden said, adding “as long as we take care of business the rest of the way.”

Southwick, which improved to 8-0 and extended its league win streak to 35-0, is already just two wins away from a postseason berth with more than half the season still remaining.

Much of that success can be attributed to lead golfer, senior James Longhi, who is averaging close to par through eight matches this season. Longhi shot a round of 33 against South Hadley (6-2), the second time this week that he recorded that score.

“He’s the most consistent golfer in Western Mass.,” coach Selden said of Longhi.

After birdying the ninth hole, Longhi showed some emotion, fist-pumping the air.

He managed to keep his emotions in check throughout the remainder of the match, and, in fact, birdied four of his last five holes.

Eighth grader Matthew Garrity continued

his impressive two-year varsity run, finishing with a round of 38. Brad Durand shot a 41, and Jack Fairley (45) took three out of four points in a key match.

For Selden, it was his 96th victory coaching Southwick. The Rams’ coach can reach that coveted 100th win if his team goes a perfect 4-0 next week.

defense,” coach Washington said. “My midfielders, time after time executed some great plays while controlling the ball as they moved it up the field to our forwards. The girls are playing through a lot of soreness, but they’re digging deep and winning games.”

St. Mary’s keeper Jess Crosby collected 27 saves.

Westfield Tech goalie Arianna Levere (6 saves) earned a shutout.

“I can’t say enough about how the team is coming together,” Westfield Tech coach Lyle Washington said. “This is the first time in my three years of coaching at Westfield Technical Academy that we’ve won four out of five games and I’m super proud of these girls.”

On Wednesday, Lannon and Stepanchuk each had nine shots on goal. On the flip side, the defense kept the shots on their net to a minimum.

Upset special: 2-0 against spread, 2-0 straight up

Texans coach Bill O'Brien says "you can't hide in the NFL." Pro Picks can hide its eyes from the Thursday night extravaganza, which this week, uh, features the Rams against the 49ers.

Los Angeles is one of nine visiting teams favored in Week 3; it's 10 if you count the Ravens against host Jacksonville in London.

These Rams seem to have something decent going on, and the 49ers have shown very little.

In other words, the coaching change to Sean McVay in L.A. is working better so far than the switch to Kyle Shanahan in San Fran, which has scored a conference-low 12 points.

On a short week, though, who knows what will appear on the TV screen. Well, we kind of know it won't be pretty.

McVay looks at the positive side.

"I think the big thing, too, is, is that these guys know how to take care of their bodies," McVay says. "The thing that you do feel fortunate is at least this is Week 3, not Week 13 where you're having to do that.

"So, from that standpoint, it does make it a little bit easier only knowing that you have really two full games of that pounding on their bodies.

But it is a tough challenge, but it's something that everybody in this league has to do and for us it's this week."

The Rams, No. 22 in the AP Pro32, are a 2-point favorite at San Francisco (No. 30). We're buying.

RAMS, 16-13 KNOCKOUT LEAGUE TIP Raiders did their part by easing past the Jets, and it's tempting to select against New York again. Instead, let's go with NEW ENGLAND. No. 8 Baltimore (minus 3 1-2) vs. No. 21 Jacksonville at London Ravens carry their defensive prowess across the pond.

BEST BET: RAVENS, 20-9 No. 12 Seattle (plus 3) at No. 16 Tennessee Have to go with one of those home underdogs.

UPSET SPECIAL: TITANS, 17-13 No. 2 Atlanta (minus 3) at No. 9 Detroit Lions might be better than anticipated. Still not good enough here.

BEAT THE PUTZ

White blacks out competition Well, one thing is clear after two weeks of the National Football League season – I apparently bring out the best in others. (At least, that’s what I’d like to think.)

Like the Patriots, I had an amazing comeback in Week 2 of our “Beat The Putz” contest following an average Week 1. Last Sunday, I posted a 12-2 record. Four contest players though took it even further posting records of 13-1 with Vicki White (51 tiebreaker points),

of Westfield leading the way.

White takes home our weekly prize, a gift certificate to The Tavern Restaurant. She will also join 16 others in our grand prize drawing for a flat screen television courtesy of Manny’s TV & Appliances.

With that out of the way, Week 3 is nearly upon us, and it figures to be a doozy. Early prediction – chaos reigns.

A total of 10 teams are road favorites – three of whom (Dolphins, Broncos, Steelers) will likely be on everyone’s Survivor Pool radar – two home favorites Philadelphia and Carolina face two division rivals (NY Giants and New Orleans, respectively) desperate to avoid 0-3 starts, one game (BaltimoreJacksonville) is being played in London, and another (Tampa-Minnesota) is off the board in Vegas as the Vikings starting quarterback Sam

Bradford is likely a game-time decision with a bad knee.

That is a recipe for a crazy day of football Sunday.

I guess the only sure thing is Green Bay (at home against Cincy) and New England (home vs. Houston). But after the Patriots’ home loss on opening night, is anything really a given?

Minicucci’s milestone NEWTON, Mass. – Mount Ida senior midfielder Lexi Minicucci, of Westfield has consistently been one of the most dominant players in the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) and she showed it again during a historic week.

After becoming the first Mount Ida field hockey player to reach the 100-point milestone, Minicucci has also been named GNAC Corvias Player of the Week, which was announced Monday afternoon.

By tallying two goals and two assists in the first game against Framingham State, Minicucci was able to secure her spot as the first athlete in the program’s four-year history to score 100 points in a career.

She continued a fantastic week with a hat trick on Saturday in Mount Ida’s 6-3 win over Rivier.

Prior to Tuesday’s game against Bay Path, Minicucci led the teams in goals (9) and points (22) and is second in assists (4). – Courtesy of Mount Ida Sports

2017 SHAKER FARMS CLUB CHAMPS

Sale reaches 300 Ks, Red Sox clinch after blanking Orioles

By DAVID GINSBURG AP Sports Writer BALTIMORE (AP) — Chris Sale was at his very best — right down to his momentous last pitch — in another meaningful victory for the Boston Red Sox. Sale struck out 13 to become the first AL pitcher in 18 years to reach the 300 mark, and the Red Sox clinched a playoff berth hours after beating the Baltimore Orioles 9-0 on Wednesday night.

Boston (88-64) was assured at least a wild card and its second consecutive trip to the postseason when the Los Angeles Angels lost 6-5 to the Cleveland Indians. Of course, the Red Sox are looking for much more than that. They lead the AL East by three games over the rival New York Yankees with 10 to play as Boston pursues its third division title in five years.

“Given where we are in the standings and what is at stake, every win is important,” manager John Farrell said. “Just getting into the playoffs is not our goal.”

Sale (17-7) reached the milestone on his 111th and final pitch, a called third strike against Ryan Flaherty to end the eighth inning. The last AL pitcher to fan 300 batters in a season was Boston’s Pedro Martinez in 1999, when he set a club record with 313.

Farrell sent Sale back out for the eighth inning to give him a shot at getting No. 300.

Thing is, the left-hander had no idea he was at 299 when the inning started.

“No, I didn’t,” Sale said. “I went out there and struck out the last guy and everyone started losing it. I knew I was close, but I didn’t know I needed just one more.”

Mookie Betts and Deven Marrero homered for the Red Sox. After winning two straight 11-inning games over the skidding

Orioles, Boston jumped to a 6-0 lead in the fifth and coasted to its 11th win in 14 games.

Betts and Marrero hit two-run homers in the fourth against Wade Miley (8-14), and Hanley Ramirez added a two-run double in the fifth.

Sale allowed four hits and walked none in matching his career high for wins.

“A dominant performance after a year that has been a dominant one,” Farrell said.

Sale reached double figures in strikeouts for the 18th time this season. He is the 14th pitcher in the so-called Live Ball Era (1920-present) to ring up 300 strikeouts in a season.

It was his 10th scoreless outing of the season, tying the team record held by Babe Ruth (1916) and Martinez (2000 and 2002).

“It was fun. I felt good tonight,” he said.

Sale faced a Baltimore lineup that was lacking two of its better hitters. Manny Machado was held out with an illness that manager Buck Showalter said the third baseman had been dealing with for nearly two weeks, and shortstop Tim Beckham was unavailable after having a wisdom tooth removed.

Not that it would have made much of a difference against Sale.

“He’s one of the best pitchers in the game and couple in the fact that we’re not really operating on all cylinders offensively, you end up with a shutout,” Showalter said.

In a streak that began in the sixth inning Monday night, Baltimore has gone 26 straight innings without scoring. The Orioles (73-80) were in the playoff hunt before losing 12 of their last 14 games.

SLUMP BUSTER Boston’s Dustin Pedroia doubled in two runs in the eighth inning to snap an 0-for-18 skid. He missed Tuesday night’s game with a bruised nose.

PRICE CLOSING? The Red Sox have plenty of pitchers in the bullpen, perhaps none more accomplished than former Cy Young Award winner David Price.

Price has been pitching in relief since returning from the DL on Sept. 14.

“He is available for multiple innings of relief tonight,” Farrell said before the game. “I wouldn’t be surprised if he were closing the game out.”

FILLING OUT THE FIELD Boston joins AL Central champion Cleveland and AL West champion Houston in the American League playoffs, which begin next month. Two spots are still up for grabs.

TRAINER’S ROOM Red Sox: INF Eduardo Nunez (knee sprain) fielded grounders and did some running but still has a way to go before returning to the lineup. “While the hitting and fielding portion has improved, we find that the running portion is going to take longer than we first anticipated,” Farrell said.

Orioles: Closer Zach Britton will likely be shut down for the season. He’s going to get a stem-cell injection in his left knee, and it would probably be foolish to test him again in a season that’s gone south. “The most important thing for me is to be healthy going into next season,” he said.

UP NEXT Red Sox: After a day off Thursday, Boston sends 17-game loser Rick Porcello to the mound in the opener of a three-game interleague series at Cincinnati.

Orioles: Gabriel Ynoa (1-2, 4.18 ERA) helps Baltimore launch a four-game series Thursday night against the Tampa Bay Rays, who — like the Orioles — remain only mathematically alive in the playoff chase.

Dear Annie

By ANNIE LANE

Ex Still in the Picture Dear Annie: About two years ago, my wife of 20 years, “Cynthia,” and I divorced. Our two children are grown and out of the house. Our divorce wasn’t the norm; we did it without a lawyer or mediator. Everything was civil; no one cheated or was abused.

I think we both just changed over time.

About four months after the divorce, I met another woman, “Beth.” Having already had my cry, I decided to give it a shot.

Long story short, we were great for each other, and now, a year and a half later, we’re engaged.

The problem is that Cynthia doesn’t really have a family other than mine. My sister and the rest of my family are sympathetic to Cynthia and want to include her. I don’t mind being around her, but the awkwardness comes in when Beth and Cynthia attend the same family events. Beth understands that it’s unavoidable during big occasions, such as weddings and funerals. But she feels that it isn’t normal for Cynthia to be around for our casual family gatherings, which are more frequent. She feels that once people divorce, they should start to move on with their lives and shouldn’t hang around an ex’s family gatherings.

I’m very torn. I want Beth to attend these events. However, if I asked Cynthia to stop being around so much, it might get back to my family, and then Beth and I would be deemed as spoilers in the family. But she may already be seen as an outcast by excluding herself from these gatherings.

Is Beth having anxiety over nothing, or should I ask my ex not to be around so much? -- Ex In or Ex Out Dear Ex In or Ex Out: Your ex-wife was a part of your family for 20 years, and that bond doesn’t disappear once the ink dries on the divorce papers. It’s understandable that she wants to stay in touch with her former in-laws, and it’s understandable that they want to include her. But it’s important that your fiancee really get to know and love your family, and she’s having a hard time doing so with your ex-wife around. Rather than disinvite Cynthia, talk to your family members about your concern and plan additional outings with just them and Beth. Once Beth feels more settled and secure with her place in the family, it will be easier for her to relax at family gatherings, even when Cynthia is there.

Dear Annie: My husband and I own a boat that takes tourists on short trips. Three years ago, he fell in love with the only woman on board. When I realized something was up, I said, “If she is so wonderful, what is stopping you from being with her?” Without hesitation, he said, “The age difference.”

I have not been able to stop thinking about that every day for the past three years. I am becoming upset even writing this to you. She is not interested in him. I guess he is old enough to be her father.

But what if he meets someone his own age? I think I’d better see my lawyer. What do you think? Should we get a divorce? -Seasick Dear Seasick: I can’t tell you whether you should get a divorce based on your letter. But I can tell you that you can’t keep living this way. One comment has been eating away at you for three years, and you need to put a stop to that before it swallows you whole. Have you tried talking to your husband? It’s possible his comment was a joke, albeit a mean one. In any case, I’d strongly recommend a few sessions of marriage counseling so you can open up the lines of communication.

Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators. com.

HINTS FROM HELOISE DON’T TOY WITH NANA! Dear Heloise: I’ve stopped caving to my grandchildren when we are in the store. I used to buy them little “cheapie” toys or a snack to pacify them, but no more! Buying CHEAP TOYS is a waste of money.

If the child needs a diversion at the store, I’ll give her my phone with an educational video playing. -- Nana Gina in New York Good advice from an expert in the field. Cheap toys bought at the spur of the moment or to placate a child usually don’t last very long anyway. Toys that are teeny or made of minute pieces could become a choking hazard.

It is hard to say “No,” but when you do, and keep it up, hopefully the child will “get the message” that you won’t give in! -Heloise COLORFUL ADDITION Dear Heloise: Your advice is great! However, there are lots of us who just do not look good in bland colors. (HELOISE HERE: The reader is referring to a previous column about building a wardrobe with basic colors -- navy, black, beige, etc.)

An inexpensive scarf can give any outfit some much-needed color around the face, and at very little expense. -- Judy G., via email You are right! When I travel for work (speeches, etc.), I always tuck several scarves in my carry-on bag. A colorful scarf can change an outfit quicker than you can snap your fingers. -Heloise FREEZING STORE Dear Heloise: The grocery stores have their air conditioning on so low that we freeze! Right now, we all are wearing lightweight clothes, and when I go into the store, I buy only what I need and nothing else; I’m too cold to browse! -- A Reader, Boardman, Ohio (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

Seferian-Jenkins hopes to help Jets’ O with suspension over

By DENNIS WASZAK Jr. AP Sports Writer FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Austin Seferian-Jenkins spent the past two Sundays holed up alone in his home while watching his New York Jets play on TV, eager to be out there again with his teammates.

With his two-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy over, the tight end could get that chance against Miami this Sunday.

"It definitely was tough," SeferianJenkins said Wednesday. "I can't even explain it. I didn't go out or anything like that. I kind of locked myself in my room and kind of watched it by myself in my room.

"It was tough, but I'm back."

That road back, though, has been far from an easy one for Seferian-Jenkins, who marked his 242nd day of sobriety with his first full practice of the regular season.

He dealt with legal troubles a year ago after being arrested on a DUI charge in Florida and was released a day later by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who drafted him in the second round in 2014. Seferian-Jenkins was considered a bust, who failed to live up to lofty expectations while dealing with personal demons that nearly derailed his career — and his life.

"It's really a blessing just to be standing here," Seferian-Jenkins said. "Just to have the relationships that I do with my family, my teammates, my coaches, just to be able to talk to you guys, it's a real blessing and an honor on my part. I truly cherish that.

"I'm very thankful that God let me get here because it could've been easy that I'm not standing here anymore."

Seferian-Jenkins will turn just 25 next Friday, but already has a lifetime's

worth of experiences to draw on. After he was cut by the Buccaneers, the tight end knew things needed to change. The Jets signed him and gave him a chance — and he was determined to make the most of it.

He sought help for his alcohol addiction and reached out to his new teammates, including former Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall, who helped guide him to people to assist him.

Seferian-Jenkins had 10 catches for 110 yards in 10 games last season with New York while dealing with ankle and hamstring issues. He spent the offseason working on his mind and body, losing 33 pounds from his 6-foot-5 frame and having a solid training camp.

Then came the two-game wait to get back on the field.

"I really appreciate the opportunity to be here because I know how easily it can be taken away from me," SeferianJenkins said. "I know how fragile life is.

I know how a lot of things are in life, and anything can change in a split-second. But right now, I'm here, I'm working hard."

Because of the layoff, during which he couldn't practice, Seferian-Jenkins isn't a sure thing to play in the Jets' home opener against the Dolphins.

"He's got to get in a little better shape," coach Todd Bowles said. "That's to be expected with two weeks off, but he'll get going."

The Jets' offense could certainly use him. New York currently has five tight ends on its roster, but only two are healthy: Seferian-Jenkins and Will Tye. Meanwhile, Jordan Leggett has a sore knee and hasn't played yet, Neal Sterling is dealing with an ankle injury and Eric Tomlinson missed the game at Oakland with an elbow injury.

"Whatever I can do to help the team,

whether it be blocking or pass catching, I'm looking forward to it," SeferianJenkins said. "I'm not really about anything like that."

From where he's come, SeferianJenkins has learned to not sweat the small stuff. He has been refreshingly open in recent months about his struggles to get to this point, and he has served as an example to others who are dealing with their own personal issues with alcohol.

Seferian-Jenkins said he recently received a heartfelt letter from a man who heard his story. In the letter, the man told him that he served as motivation for him to start to make changes to his own life.

That's when it hits Seferian-Jenkins that he was once a disappointing case of someone who strayed down the wrong paths.

Now, he's a shining example of what life can be when you turn things around.

"If someone can learn from what I've done, I'd love that," Seferian-Jenkins said. "If I can ever help anyone who's been in my situation or a similar situation, I'd love to be there for them because I know how it is. I know how lonely it is. I know how tough it is. I know how easy it is not to talk about it, how easy it is to ignore it and not face it head on.

"An example? You can call it that. I just want to be a friend to somebody that needs some help."

NOTES: WR Robby Anderson (knee), LB Freddie Bishop (ankle), C Jonotthan Harrison (concussion), DE Muhammad Wilkerson (shoulder) and G Brian Winters (abdomen) all did not practice. S Rontez Miles, who has missed the first two games with a fractured eye socket, was a limited participant.

Trump mocks Emmy ceremony for low ratings WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is mocking Sunday's Emmy Awards ceremony — where he himself was frequently mocked by host Stephen Colbert, presenters and prize-winners.

Trump tweets, "I was saddened to see how bad the ratings were on the Emmys last night - the worst ever."

The president's Tuesday night tweet is a little off: The show was on Sunday, not Monday, and the ratings didn't quite hit bottom, though they were close. The Nielsen company estimated that 11.4 million people watched, slightly more than last year's lowest ever audience of 11.3 million.

Trump adds, "Smartest people of them all are the 'DEPLORABLES.'" That's a reference to a remark Hillary Clinton made during last year's presidential campaign, when she said half of Trump supporters belong in a "basket of deplorables."

Missouri couple gets an engagement redo on ‘Jimmy Kimmel’ KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri couple who accidentally dropped a $3,000 engagement ring into a pond has had a chance to redo their engagement proposal on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

The Kansas City Star reports that a video on Facebook shows Seth Dixon dropping the ring on Kansas City's Loose Park bridge while proposing to his girlfriend, Ruth Salas, on Sept. 9. The ring slipped between the bridge's slats and fell into the pond.

The couple went to Los Angeles under the pretense of being interviewed by "20/20," but Kimmel was planning to feature them on his show.

Kimmel brought them onto the stage, which had a recreation of the park and bridge. Jewelry designer Neil Lane presented them with an oval cut diamond ring that has 100 small diamonds.

The couple then redid the proposal. They didn't drop the ring this time.
