Council stalls accepting gifts

Police chief warns of break-ins

By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – Southwick Police Chief David Ricardi is warning residents to lock their homes.

Several residences in Southwick and Agawam were recently entered during the day when no one was home.

“We’ve had breaking and enterings near Agawam, in the eastern part of town from College Highway toward Agawam,” said Ricardi.

Ricardi said he urges homeowners to take precautions.

“Make sure your doors and windows are locked and leave a radio on if you can,” said Ricardi. “Park in the driveway during the day and secure your vehicle.”

Ricardi said Southwick and Agawam Police are working together and have a few leads they are following. Ricardi added that residents should not hesitate to call police with any concern.

“Be cognizant of activity in the neighborhood,” he advised. “If anything seems out of the ordinary, call us. If you see a suspicious person or car, or people walking down the street that don’t normally do that, call us. We will investigate.”

Ricardi said the thief or thieves are taking easily carried valuables.

“Jewelry is a big item,” he said.

Small valuables can be taken quickly and are not as noticeable as items such as large electronics.

“We just want everyone to take standard precaustions and call us immediately if something seems out of place,” he said.

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENTS

City seeks to boost efficiency

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Mayor Daniel M. Knapik said this morning that he plans to hire a management consultant to analyze the city’s “governmental infrastructure” to determine if consolidation of public works departments will improve efficiency.

Knapik said the recent retirement of Public Works Superintendent Jim Mulvenna triggered the study to determine if consolidation of several departments is feasible.

“Whenever you have a retirement of a major department head it’s an opportunity to examine the structure of city departments,” Knapik said following Mulvenna’s retirement.

This morning Knapik confirmed that Water Resource Director Dave Billips will take over the Department of Public Works while a management consultant is hired and generates a report on future restructuring options.

“Dave has some ideas about the department,” Knapik said. “There are a lot of management and structural issues to work out.”

Billips is currently the Water Resource Superintendent overseeing the city’s drinking water system and the wastewater treatment plant.

“One question is: do we really need an $88,000 a year director for a relatively small department,” Knapik said.

“The Public Works department has shrunk over the years and now has only about a dozen employees. Much of the work formerly done by the DPW is now performed by outside contractors.”

“The department has lost the ability to build anything,” Knapik said. “It used to build sidewalks and curbing.”

Knapik said that he is seeking “to

break down barriers” among the city’s public works departments and to use human resources in a more efficient manner.

“There is a silo mentality that prevents workers from one department being used by another department,” Knapik said. “What we need is a structure that allows laborers to float between areas of departmental responsibility.”

Billips will serves as the interim DPW director while the management consultant, with a background in public works, assesses the city’s current departmental structure.

“The timeline for completion for the management consultant to submit a report is between six and eight months,” Knapik said. “What may result is a singular department head overseeing public works, sanitation, natural resources (parks and playgrounds), water, sewer and wastewater treatment.”

Knapik said the current structure evolved over decades and that barriers exist between the current entities that inhibit efficiency. Sewers are under the DPW, while pump stations and the wastewater treatment plant are under the control of the Water Resource Department.

Knapik said that the wastewater treatment plant is responsible for reporting to the state Department of Environmental Protection for sewer malfunction, such a sewer backups, but needs data from Public Works to complete the DEP reports.

“Work is not getting done because of the lack of communication between departments,” Knapik said. “We have to break down those barriers, clarify who does what.”

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The City Council voted last week to accept donations of nearly $1,000 for municipal departments and activities within the city, on the condition that accounts would be approved later in the meeting, a vote that did not occur.

The accounts are established to track the funds as required by state auditing laws and practices.

The problem is that the vote to accept the gift came before the vote to establish the accounts. The council’s Finance Committee, which reviews all financial matters, reports out to the full council before the Legislative & Ordinance Committee which reviews creation of local ordinances, including the creation of gift accounts.

Ohio man arraigned on murder charge WESTFIELD (AP) — An Ohio man who authorities say killed his wife and teenage daughter nearly two decades ago, then started a new life and a new family, was ordered held without bail yesterday at his arraignment in Massachusetts on one of the killings.

A not guilty plea to a murder charge was entered on behalf of Robert Honsch, 70, in Westfield District Court.

His court-appointed lawyers Robert Honsch a.k.a Robert Tyree did not argue for bail.

Honsch was arraigned in (Photo provided by Wayne connection with the death of County Sheriff’s Dept.)

Marcia Honsch, 53, whose body was found in October 1995 near an entrance to Tolland State Forest in rural western Massachusetts.

Around the same time, Elizabeth Honsch, 17, was found dead behind a New Britain, Connecticut, strip mall.

Robert Honsch faces a separate arraignment in Connecticut.

Both had been shot in the head. The family lived in Brewster, New York, at the time.

Robert Honsch never reported either missing, Hampden District Attorney James Orenstein said.

Neither body had identifying information, but an examination of clothing and other items found at the scenes suggested they were from New York. Several rounds of DNA testing determined they were mother and daughter, but they remained unidentified until a woman from Virginia Beach, Virginia, contacted New York state See Murder Charge, Page 3

Westfield native prepares as primary looms

By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Far and away the most conservative candidate vying to become Massachusetts governor this fall, Westfield native Mark Fisher has been campaigning hard over the summer.

Fisher, owner of Merchant’s Fabrication in Auburn, is seeking to appeal to both the tea party faction of the state’s Republican Party and the sizeable contingent of residents who are dissatisfied with state politics as a whole.

“I’m a first-time candidate and many of my supporters are first-time supporters, too,” he said yesterday. “Without my family and my community, this wouldn’t be possible.”

“I’m as a conservative Republican and I’m proud to identify with the tea party,” said Fisher, adding that he is far to the right of his heavily-favored opponent for the Republican nomination, Charlie Baker of Needham, a secretary to former Governor William Weld.

“Gov. (Deval) Patrick has referred to Charlie as his ‘identical twin.’” Fisher said. “A vote for Charlie Baker is just a taller version of a vote for Deval Patrick.”

Fisher used the situation currently brewing with Tewksburybased supermarket chain Market Basket as evidence that working Bay Staters may be ready to stand up and say how they feel about not just their employers, but state government, too.

Mark is the son of the late Dick Fisher and Dolly (Grimaldi) Fisher. (Photo submitted) “Look at the situation with Market Basket. We don’t have confidence in our political parties or private businesses, and people are upset,” he said.

Moose shows up at German office canteen BERLIN (AP) — Maybe he got hungry?

A moose on the loose in the eastern German city of Dresden evaded capture before getting stuck inside an office building, tantalizingly close to the canteen.

A spokesman for Dresden police says the young bull walked into the building housing German industrial giant Siemens shortly before lunchtime Monday.

Marko Laske says officers and wildlife spent six hours trying to shoo the moose into a container but eventually had to resort to using a tranquilizer gun after he refused to follow orders.

The animal, likely to have come from neighboring Poland, will be released back into the wild.

“Wellesley gave us the most signatures, but we’ve also gotten lots of little pockets in places like Auburn, Buzzards Bay, and Revere,” said Fisher.

Despite the much-appreciated support from eastern and central Mass., western Massachusetts will also have to come up big to give Fisher the underdog primary victory.

“We’re making a big Sunday-Monday-Tuesday swing through western Mass. this week,” said Fisher, who added he will be making an appearance in Greenfield next and will be holding more standout events in Westfield. “Two weeks till the end of the campaign and I just want to encourage people to get out and vote for a conservative Republican on September 9.”

The City Council had voted to accept a gift of a Garmin Echo 201DV sonar device during Communications from the Mayor. The donation of the sonar, made by Steve Andras in memory of his late wife, and City Councilor, Patti Andras, is directed to the Westfield Police Department, which has a gift account for donations, usually equipment.

Ward 2 Councilor Ralph Figy said the sonar device is already in use by officers patrolling Hampton Ponds.

“It’s a valuable piece of equipment being used to patrol the ponds, to the great pleasure

neighbors are so happy that the patrols are underway.”

Residents have donated dock space for the patrol boat, christened the “Patti Andras”, and have provided other direct support to the marine division officers.

However, the establishment of the gift accounts, including a third for the Arm Brook Park, was postponed Thursday night at the request of L&O Chairman Brian Sullivan since the legislation was not in ordinance language and form.

Sullivan had anticipated that the motions would be put into ordinance form between the meeting Thursday and the Sept.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Open letter to candidates To those running for D.A., and those seeking state offices. I have been involved in community affairs for over 40 years and offer this proposal: fund and expand Community Policing and their community networks. Police act after the fact of a crime; too late for the victims.

Domestic violence, drug abuse, gangs, crime in general, along with greater ethnic diversity issues, and a focus on people with mental health issues; Community Police and their neighborhood networking not only help identify problems, but potential problems, and how to deal with them. Their understanding of specific local situations, and their ability to formulate non-political attached neighborhood associations would be key to dealing with problem solving.

Gangs are not intimidated by citizen marches giving dirty looks at gang members, and drug dealers. It takes actions, not words, to deal with them; and not another bureaucratic program of out siders telling us what our problems are, and how they will solve them for us. The Constitution empowers us, now to be enabled us to exercise our citizen authority to take on our citizen responsibilities.

Obama’s blurry foreign policy vision

By Josh Gerstein Politico.com The extremist Islamic group that beheaded journalist James Foley has been described as “wicked,” an “imminent threat,” and President Barack Obama has vowed to be “relentless” in pursuing it.

Yet for all the vivid rhetoric in recent days, the Obama administration has yet to articulate a clear course of action to dismantle the radical group known as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, and is struggling to lay out a precise vision to respond to the new threats in chaotic areas of Iraq and Syria where ISIL has thrived in recent months.

The lack of clarity in the U.S. approach to the region has underscored claims by critics – including voices generally friendly to the White House — questioning whether Obama’s foreign policy message is coherent enough to win support across the globe.

And the disconnect between dramatic condemnations and decisive action against ISIL threatens to leave the president looking ineffective or even impotent, just as his call for Syrian President Bashar Assad to resign remains unheeded three years later.

At the daily briefing for reporters Monday, White House press secretary Josh Earnest faced a barrage of questions about whether Obama is prepared to expand the campaign against ISIL and whether Obama’s policies on the subject are muddled.

“The president has been very clear about what he believes our priorities are in Iraq, why he believes it’s important for the United States to pursue a comprehensive approach to countering the threat that’s posed by ISIL, not just to Iraq, but also to Americans and American interests,” Earnest said. “That strategy includes some of the military strikes that the president has ordered.”

Prominent foreign policy figures, including Democrats such as Hillary Clinton and former Rep. Jane Harman as well as a broad range of Republicans, have argued recently that the message the U.S. is projecting abroad is murky.

“Great nations need organizing principles, and ‘Don’t do stupid stuff’ is not an organizing principle,” former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told The Atlantic in an interview earlier this month, adding, “One issue is that we don’t even tell our own story very well these days.”

Clinton’s remarks caused a stir mainly because they were taken as criticism of Obama, but less attention was paid to the substance of her critique, which seemed to track very closely statements made earlier in the summer by Harman, who now heads the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.

“I’m not saying it is U.S. foreign policy, but the perception of our foreign policy in much of the Middle East is: ‘Don’t do stupid stuff — plus use drones,’” Harman told an audience at the Aspen Security Forum in July. “I don’t think that’s winning any heart or mind or any mind or heart.”

“The perception has to be that we stand for things and not only stand for them, but live those values,” Harman added. “We’re just not making the sale right now for lots of reasons…. Our narrative needs a lot of work.”

While Obama did authorize a “limited” U.S. military campaign to bomb ISIL positions in Iraq earlier this month, he has yet to expand that military effort to try to eradicate the group there or across the border in Syria. Despite Obama’s talk of a “relentless” effort against ISIL, the limits he has articulated — such as “no boots on the ground” — have been clearer than the indications of how far the U.S. is willing to go to fight the militant group.

While some observers expected Obama might lay out his ISIL policy in greater detail during a speech Tuesday to an American Legion convention in North Carolina, the White House said Monday the address would focus mainly on issues like problems at Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals.

But the president will need to move quickly; the issue is increasingly urgent in Europe, which has had thousands of Muslim citizens join the fighting in Syria — a substantial number of those with ISIL. The strategy debate is likely to be a significant theme in Obama’s diplomatic talks over the next month. The president is scheduled to attend a NATO summit in Wales next week and in mid-September is expected to host a United Nations Security Council meeting in New York focused specifically on the dangers See Foreign Policy, Page 8

Sharpton rips ‘policing’ at Brown funeral

By Kendall Breitman Politico.com The Rev. Al Sharpton used his eulogy for slain 18-year-old Michael Brown on Monday to criticize the conduct of law enforcement in Ferguson, Missouri, and to call for America to “deal with” the kind of policing that has plagued the community in the weeks since Brown’s death.

“America, it’s time to deal with policing,” Sharpton said at funeral services for Brown at the Friendly Temple Missionary Baptist Church, addressing a crowd of thousands that included politicians, civil rights activists and celebrities. “We are not the haters, we’re the healers.”

Sharpton has been a vocal activist against police brutality within the African-American community and has been in Ferguson during the weeks following Brown’s death as protests broke out, sometimes turning violent. Sharpton was also among the thousands of protesters who marched against police brutality on Staten Island, New York, on Saturday.

“America is going to have to come to terms with [the fact that] there’s something wrong, that we have money to give military equipment to police forces but we don’t have money for training, and money for public education and money to train our children,” Sharpton said.

He continued, “How do you think we look when the world can see you can’t come up with a police report, but you can find a video,” in reference to a surveillance video released of Brown allegedly stealing from a convenience store shortly before he was shot to death. This reference led those in attendance to give Sharpton a standing ovation.

“How do you think we look when young people march nonviolently, asking for the land of the free and the home of the brave to hear their cry and you put snipers on the roof and pointed guns at them. How do we look?” Sharpton said.

The White House sent three representatives to attend Brown’s funeral: Broderick Johnson, who heads the My Brother’s Keeper Task Force, along with Marlon Marshall and Heather Foster, who both work with the White House Office of Public Engagement. Marshall attended high school with Brown’s mother.

In front of some of Missouri’s elected officials, Sharpton called for “Congress to have legislation about guidelines in policing.”

Guests traveling from the beltway included Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), who tweeted that she was there “as a mother, not as an elected official,” Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) and Rep. Lacy Clay (D-Mo.). Waters grew up in St. Louis and attended the funeral with her family.

“I have closely followed the daily reports regarding the circumstances of Michael Brown’s death and have paid close attention to eyewitness accounts of the shooting. I have also continued to watch the televised protests that have been going on for the past 13 days in Ferguson,” Waters said in a statement before the service. “I am reminded of the police shootings that have taken place in the Los Angeles area, and the role I played in attempting to articulate the pain and hopelessness of the people of South Los Angeles following the Rodney King beating by L.A. police officers.”

In his remarks, Sharpton called for a similar movement in the

aftermath of Brown’s death.

“We can’t have a fit, we’ve got to have a movement,” he said. “A fit, you get mad and run out for a couple of nights. A movement means we’ve got to be here for the long haul and turn our chants into change, our demonstration into legislation.

We have got to stay on this so we can stop this.”

The Rev. Jesse Jackson and director Spike Lee were among those in attendance.

Hours before the service began, about 200 people were already lined up in front of the church, which can accommodate 2,500 people, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

After weeks of protests and international media attention, Attorney General Eric Holder visited Ferguson on Aug. 20.

That same day, a grand jury began its investigation into evidence to decide whether Wilson should be criminally charged for Brown’s death.

On Sunday, Brown’s father, Michael Brown Sr., asked protesters at a St. Louis peace rally to consider Monday a day of silence. “Tomorrow, all I want is peace while my son is being laid to rest,” Brown said.

Other speakers at the funeral included Benjamin Crump, the lawyer who will represent the Brown family and has represented Trayvon Martin’s family in the past, and Rev. Charles Ewing, Brown’s uncle, who urged the audience to register and vote in order to make their voices heard.

Sharpton acknowledged looting and violence in his eulogy, saying that Brown would not want to be remembered for the riots he caused, but the hopeful change that will be brought in the future.

“We need those that are bad cops — we are not anti-police, we respect police — but those police that are wrong need to be dealt with just like those in our community who are wrong need to be dealt with,” Sharpton said as he finished his eulogy by repeating, “Justice is going to come.”

Man held for alleged attack on jail guards SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A man charged with attacking two jail guards because he didn’t want to go back to his cell, knocking one of them unconscious, has been held on $10,000 bail.

Stephen Moss, who still in jail, appeared in Hampden Superior Court on Monday.

Prosecutors say 35-year-old Stephen Moss was brought back to the Hampden County Correctional Center in Ludlow last November after a court appearance and refused to go back in his cell.

Authorities say he charged two guards, knocking them to the floor and knocking one unconscious. Moss then allegedly beat the unconscious guard before he was restrained.

The Republican newspaper reports that Moss’ lawyer says his client was trying to run away from the officers, who had triggered his post-traumatic stress disorder, and he is currently undergoing counseling.

The Carson Center for Human Services Celebrating 50 Years of Real Help with Real Life 1963-2013 Breezes, blue sky and barefoot weather. It was as though summertime itself was staying up all night talking with Frank, until she had to go--helping him get the very most out of this vacation.

Even though school was starting in two days, it seemed like a perfect early July day. It smelled like happiness out there.

Frank usually hated summer. He was entering eleventh grade. For the first time, this fall, he’d be able to understand his classmates’ universal grumble about their return. Frank had always loved the order and predictability of school, with its bells and strict schedules and rules. He’d always been the first one in school to get on the Fast Math Hall of Fame. Fast Math was a computer program that tested individual student’s mastery of their year’s associated math functions. Third graders worked on multiplication, for example, and had all year to do so. In May of every year, hardworking kids’ names would appear on the Hall of Fame, which featured the first five kids in each grade who mastered their math early. Every year, Frank’s name was up there on the Hall of Fame by the end of the first week of school.

There were plenty of other things for Frank to focus on learning at school. He was shaken to the core by his struggle with the complex set of unwritten social interactions that appeared in middle school. There was Sarcasm 101 and Gender Role Expectations 201; Subtle Cues 102 and Metaphor 300. As a teen with Asperger’s Syndrome, Frank had failed all the classes of this invisible social curriculum.

His old friends laughed at him and went to their sports afterschool and their parties without him.

He hated parties and sports, anyway. Yet though he loved his projects and his solitude, Frank didn’t want to be alone all the time. For a few years, it helped hanging out with kids who were a lot younger than he was, because the social expectations were familiar and easy, as in, “Want to play chess?” But as an older teen, he didn’t blend in so easily anymore.

When Frank’s mom insisted he go to Carson’s Kamp for Kids for the summer, he was mortified. Wasn’t that for little kids? They had promised, she said, to find something for him.

When Frank arrived, he made a mental note of the way everything was organized. He paid attention to the routines.

He was immediately relieved by the atmosphere. Carson staff talked to him as though he were his own age, not younger. But they also explained things to him that most people don’t, like what exactly was going to happen next and what was expected of him. Teens and adults usually wait and figure that all out by themselves, as they read social interactions silently and figure out their role. Frank knew this was the way it was out in the world. It exhausted him emotionally, and often made him feel aggressive.

But at Carson’s Kamp, he never felt exhausted in that way. When a staff member misplaced her attendance clipboard one day, Frank knew where she had placed it down when she was picking up her relay cones, because she always placed it there. He knew her routine. He told her where it was.

When she retrieved it, she looked at Frank and asked him if he wanted to take attendance for her. He began reciting aloud who was absent and who had been absent, each day, all week. It was the kind of thing Frank remembered.

“I’m sorry, Frank, I meant, do you want to do this as a job here? Would you like to write it down and turn it in at the office?”

He took the clipboard and the new role. That day he also began setting up for activities, and then breaking them down. By the end of the summer, he was helping the younger kids in their activities, explaining and demonstrating things the way he knew they needed him to. On his last day, Carson staff asked him if he’d return the following year as a staff intern.

The summer was still warm and lingering for Frank. It smelled like happiness out there.

Study:

House calls for frail elders bring savings LAURAN NEERGAARD AP Medical Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — Ten or 12 times a year, Beatrice Adams’ daughter would race her frail mother to the emergency room for high blood pressure or pain from a list of chronic illnesses.

Then Adams found a doctor who makes house calls, and the 89-year-old hasn’t needed ER care in the nearly two years since.

“I’m not a wimpy female,” Adams said as Dr. Eric De Jonge wheeled his medical bag into her dining room and sat down to examine her. “I have only 11 years to make 100, and I’m going to make it.”

The old-fashioned house call is starting to make a comeback as part of an effort to improve care for some of Medicare’s most frail and expensive patients.

While it may sound like a luxury, bringing team-based primary care into the homes of patients like Adams, according to a new study, actually could save Medicare money by keeping them from needing pricier specialty or hospital care.

“They have a lifeline,” explained De Jonge, a cofounder of the medical house call program at MedStar Washington Hospital Center, who led the study.

Such elder care is rare, but is growing. Medicare paid for 2.8 million house calls in 2012, the latest data available, compared with 1.5 million about a decade ago.

There are different kinds of house call programs. De Jonge’s aims to provide comprehensive care. Teams of doctors and nurse-practitioners make regular visits to frail or homebound patients whose needs are too complex for a 20-minute office visit even if simply getting there wasn’t a huge hurdle.

They can use portable X-rays and do EKGs or echocardiograms right in the living room. They line up social workers for supportive care, spot preventable problems such as tripping hazards, arrange home delivery of medications, and offer roundthe-clock phone consultations and same-day urgent visits.

Adams has multiple chronic conditions ranging from hard-to-control blood pressure to congestive heart failure and post-traumatic stress

Hearing Test Set for Senior Citizens AnnouncementFree electronic hearing tests will be given from Monday-Friday 9am – 5pm at Avada Hearing Care Centers at 9 locations in Western Mass. Call to find the location nearest to you.

The test has been arranged for anyone who suspects they are not hearing clearly.

People who usually say they can hear but have trouble with understanding words are encouraged to come in for the tests. The testing includes newly-developed tests that determine your ability to hear speech in noisy environments. Everyone, especially those over 55 who have trouble hearing words clearly, should have a test annually.

Demonstrations of the latest devices to improve clarity of speech will be available, on the spot, after the tests. You can HEAR for yourself if the latest methods of correction will help you understand words better.

On a recent house call, De Jonge listened for about 10 minutes as Adams got some fears off her chest. “I just shake even thinking about it,” she said of the attack that still triggers nightmares. A social worker was helping, she said.

Then came the physical exam. De Jonge already had cut in half the 17 medications other doctors had prescribed.

Hhe said Adams’ grogginess immediately disappeared.

“One of my favorite things as a geriatrician is eliminating unnecessary medications. You see people blossom,” he said.

This visit, De Jonge opened every remaining pill bottle to make sure Adams was taking them properly. Her blood pressure and oxygen levels were fine. Severe swelling in her legs wasn’t a sign of any heart trouble, he reassured Adams, just vein damage. She should put her feet up for a while each day.

Does all that effort pay off?

De Jonge and colleagues compared the cost and survival of 722 patients enrolled in their house call practice in recent years with Medicare claims records of 2,161 similarly ill patients who never received home medical care.

Death rates between these

two groups were similar. But over a two-year period, total Medicare costs were 17 percent lower for the house-call patients, or an average savings of about $4,200 per per-

son per year, the group reported last month in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society. They used See House Calls, Page 7

Pediatricians’ Rx for schools: Later start times

By LINDSEY TANNER AP Medical Writer CHICAGO (AP) — Pediatricians have a new prescription for schools: later start times for teens.

Delaying the start of the school day until at least 8:30 a.m. would help curb their lack of sleep, which has been linked with poor health, bad grades, car crashes and other problems, the American Academy of Pediatrics says in a new policy.

The influential group says teens are especially at risk; for them, “chronic sleep loss has increasingly become the norm.”

Studies have found that most U.S. students in middle school and high school don’t get the recommended amount of sleep — 8½ to 9½ hours on school nights; and that most high school seniors get an average of less than seven hours.

More than 40 percent of the nation’s public high schools start classes before 8 a.m., according to government data cited in the policy. And even when the buzzer rings at 8 a.m., school bus pickup times typically mean kids have to get up before dawn if they want that ride.

“The issue is really cost,” said Kristen Amundson, executive director of the National Association of State Boards of Education.

School buses often make multiple runs each morning for older and younger students. Adding bus drivers and rerouting buses is one of the biggest financial obstacles to later start times, Amundson said. The roughly 80 school districts that have adopted later times tend to be smaller, she said.

After-school sports are another often-cited obstacle because a later dismissal delays practices and games. The shift may also cut into time for homework and after-school jobs, Amundson said.

The policy, aimed at middle schools and high schools, was published online Monday in the journal Pediatrics.

Evidence on potential dangers for teens who get too little sleep is “extremely compelling” and includes depression, suicidal thoughts, obesity, poor performance in school and on standardized tests and car accidents from drowsy driving, said Dr. Judith Owens, the policy’s lead author and director of sleep medicine at Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. The policy cites studies showing that delaying start times can lead to more nighttime sleep and improve students’ motivation in class and mood. Whether there are broader, long-term benefits requires more research, the policy says.

Many administrators support the idea but haven’t resolved the challenges, said Amundson. She said the pediatricians’ new policy likely will have some influence.

Parents seeking a change “will come now armed with this report,” Amundson said.

Amundson is a former Virginia legislator and teacher who also served on the school board of Virginia’s Fairfax County, near Washington, D.C. Owens, the policy author, has been working with that board on a proposal to delay start times. A

Health officials warn against using unapproved med BALTIMORE (AP) — Public health officials in Maryland are warning residents against using an unapproved medication to treat children’s colds that is being sold in some convenience stores in Latino communities.

The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene said in an email on Thursday that Baczol contains an antibiotic that would ordinarily require a prescription. The unapproved medicine, which is produced outside the United States, is marketed for children under the names Baczol, Pediatric Baczol, or Baczol Antigripal.

Noble offers new support group

Noble Hospital sponsors KEVS Foundation Free Cardiac Screenings for kids ages 13-19 WESTFIELD — Noble Hospital and the KEVS Foundation will host a free cardiac screening for school-age children on Saturday, September 13, 2014. The screenings will take place from 9:00am - 3:00pm in Noble Hospital’s Cardiac Center, 115 West Silver Street, Westfield, MA. Noble Hospital and the KEVS Foundation will provide a free cardiac screening for 45 youth in our community at this particular event. The Foundation’s goal is to educate and help prevent Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) in children and young adults, a heart condition that is undetected by most of the youth that suffer from it.

During the screening, a thorough family history and physical examination will help detect if a child has one of the heart conditions that can lead to Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). Dr. Michael Willers will be the Cardiologist on staff reviewing test results. Children may receive an electrocardiogram (EKG) and/or an echocardiogram to detect abnormalities in the heart’s rhythm and shape. Both procedures are non-invasive and will be performed by trained medical staff. Each child’s screening will take approximately 30 minutes. A “hands-only CPR” and AED Awareness demonstration will be available to all family members during the event.

Children under the age of 18 must have a guardian present and complete a medical history survey. Preregistration is required; to reserve an appointment or for more information, please visit www.kevsfoundation.com.

Noble Hospital is proud to be your community hospital.

Holistic health consultant offers free wellness classes for veterans WEST SPRINGFIELD -- Thomas Schieffer, owner of the Vital Herbalist in Northampton, will offer a series of four health and wellness classes at the Springfield Veterans Center, beginning Tuesday, Sept. 9 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. The Healthy Living classes will run every Tuesday at that time through Sept. 30.

Schieffer is a clinical herbalist, holistic health consultant and Shiatsu practitioner who specializes in complete holistic lifestyle consulting, digestive health, food allergies, sleep troubles, muscle tension and pain, and restoring vitality.

In his classes for veterans, he will focus on the impact that a good diet, sleep and exercise have on one’s health.

“After offering these classes for the past year, I have seen major impacts and positive changes in the lives of veterans,” Schieffer said. “Holistic health is useful because it uses simple, effective and inexpensive methods for treating a wide array of health issues that heals them at the root level so they don’t come back.”

Ruth Berrios, a readjustment counseling therapist at the veteran’s center, said, “I was able to see a dramatic change in healthy choices made by the veterans who participated. I believe that the information taught by Thomas is very valuable for overall health and well-being, and we are grateful that he is willing to provide this program to our veterans.”

The Springfield Veterans Center is located in Northgate Plaza, 95A Ashley Avenue, off of Riverdale Road. The classes are free for veterans. To register, call the center at (413) 7375167.

Schieffer worked for 10 years as a military contractor, servicing rotorcraft as a flight mechanic and lived on military bases in countries such as Turkey and Turkmenistan. He left that job eight years ago; six years ago, he moved to the Pioneer Valley and now helps others to achieve holistic health.

“These classes offer a way for me to give back and do something I am passionate about,” he said.

For more information on Schieffer visit www.vital-herbalist. com or call (413) 320-5063.

WESTFIELD — Noble Hospital announces upcoming 2014 and 2015 Smoking Cessation class dates. This two-part program uses hypnosis to eliminate the desire for smoking and allows the participant to forget cigarettes forever. The sessions are scheduled Monday and Thursday evenings in Conference Room A on the ground floor of Noble Hospital, 115 West Silver Street, Westfield, MA. Classes are held from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. both evenings.

• Monday, September 15 & Thursday, September 18, 2014 • Monday, November 17 & Thursday, November 20, 2014 • Monday, January 19 & Thursday, January 22, 2015 • Monday, March 16 & Thursday, March 19, 2015 Classes are conducted by Joseph Barako, RN MA, an educator, registered nurse, and certified Hypnotherapy Instructor. He is a member of the International Association of Counselors and Therapists and has been assisting clients with smoking cessation since 1981.

Hypnosis is a highly relaxed state in which the patient’s consciousness or unconscious mind, when focused, can be receptive to therapeutic suggestion. “Most people have experienced some form of hypnosis. Driving in the car and not being completely aware of the surroundings or watching the flames in the fireplace are types of hypnosis,” says Barako. “Actually, all hypnosis is self-hypnosis.

Lung Association offers back to school tips for parents of children with asthma WALTHAM, Mass. — With summer winding down, families here in Massachusetts and across the nation are beginning to prepare for the new school year. A new school environment can sometimes be difficult for children with asthma. This back-toschool season, the American Lung Association of the Northeast highlights tips for families of children with asthma and stresses the importance of crafting a plan to properly manage asthma in a school environment.

“Asthma is a serious chronic disease that affects millions of children,” said Jeff Seyler, President & CEO of the American Lung Association of the Northeast.

“Asthma symptoms can often be exacerbated at this time of year and it is important for parents to work with their healthcare provider and school personnel prior to the first day of school on controlling their child’s asthma. We must do all that we can to prevent asthma attacks and missed school days.”

Affecting close to seven million children under the age of 18, including an estimated 144,599 children in

Massachusetts, asthma is one of the most common chronic childhood disorders in the nation. It is also one of the primary illness-related reasons that students miss school, accounting for more than 10 million lost school days each year.

Asthma is the third-leading cause of hospitalization for children under 15. In 2011, one-third of people with asthma experienced at least one episode, or attack—with children 39 percent more likely than adults to have an asthma episode.

The onset of a new school year also marks the beginning of the cold and flu season. Influenza poses a special health risk to children with asthma, as these children often experience more severe symptoms.

The American Lung Association strongly recommends that all children—especially those with asthma—be immunized against influenza.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), yearly flu vaccinations will begin in September, or as soon as the vaccine becomes available.

In preparation for the school year

Foreign Policy posed by foreign fighters in Syria who may return to Europe or the U.S. to carry out terrorist attacks.

When pressed Monday about Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel’s comments declaring ISIL to be an “imminent threat” to American interests worldwide, Earnest straddled, preferring to call the group “a significant threat” and hedging about the dangers it poses to Americans outside Iraq and Syria.

“This is a complicated situation, but there is no question that there is a significant threat that’s posed by ISIL, in part because of their demonstrated military capacity; in part also because they have demonstrated access to significant financial resources,” Earnest said.

ahead, the American Lung Association urges parents who have children with asthma to complete the following checklist: Step 1 – Learn about asthma Learning about asthma is easy.

The American Lung Association has many free resources to help you, your child and their caregivers learn how to keep asthma in good control.

Well controlled asthma is the key to helping your child stay healthy and active.

Visit www.lung.org/asthma to learn about asthma and asthma management. Be sure to watch the short animation What is Asthma? to learn what happens in the airways during asthma episode.

Step 2 – Talk to the school nurse A visit or phone call to the school nurse should be your next step.

Together, you and the school nurse along with your child’s health care provider can work to reduce asthma triggers and manage symptoms while in school.

Ask the school nurse to explain and provide all of the required forms you and your child’s health care provider need to sign and complete.

Discuss your child’s asthma triggers and steps to reduce them in the classroom.

Visit www.lung.org/asthma to learn more about asthma, and how to help schools become more asthma-friendly.

Step 3 Schedule Asthma Check-up Each school year should begin with a visit to your child’s health care provider for an asthma checkup. This check-up is the best time to make sure your child is on the right amount of medicine for their asthma, to fill-out any forms required by the school and to create an asthma management plan.

Kids with asthma should visit their health care provider at least once a year and more often when they are having symptoms. It’s important that your child has an updated asthma action plan on file at school and one at home and has been trained to use the prescribed medicines and devices. Visit how to make your medical visits more satisfying to find helpful hints on how to talk to your child’s health care provider.

Step 4 Develop an Asthma Action Plan An asthma action plan is a written worksheet created by your health care provider and tailored to your child’s needs. The plan includes a list of their asthma triggers and symptoms, the names of their medicines and how much medicine to take when needed. The plan also explains the steps to take to manage an asthma episode and a breathing emergency.

Step 5 – Get a Flu Shot On average, 1 out of 5 Americans suffer from influenza (flu) every year. Respiratory infections such as the flu are one of the most common asthma triggers. The American Lung Association’s Asthma Clinical Research Centers found the flu shot is safe for people with asthma. The best way to protect your family from the flu is for everyone over the age of six month to get vaccinated.

For additional information on asthma and children, including a downloadable version of this checklist with even more details, visit www.lung.org/asthma or call 1-800-LUNG-USA.

Continued from Page 4 Earnest also insisted that when Obama told the New Yorker magazine earlier this year that some radicals were “JV” or junior varsity players pretending to be more threatening than they were, he was not referring specifically to ISIL. “The president was not singling out ISIL, Earnest said. “He was talking about the very different threat that is posed by a range of extremists around the globe. Many of them do not have designs on attacking the West or on attacking the United States, and that is what puts them in stark contrast to the goals and capability of the previously existing al Qaeda core network that was led

by Osama bin Laden.”

Analysts said the White House’s tone towards ISIL has changed markedly in recent weeks and

the policy also appears to be shifting.

“The rhetoric has changed from the JV comment,” the Middle East Institute’s Paul Salem said. “Although some in the intelligence community and government agencies were apparently sounding the alarm, it seems that as it went up in the echelons of government that alarm was not sounded in a major way two months ago to the president.”

The recalibration of Hagel’s remarks and a new comment from Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey saying he knew of no “active plotting” by ISIL against the U.S. led Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) to declare that the administration was downplaying the danger in order to avoid confronting hard decisions about

more aggressive military action against ISIL. “The White House is trying to minimize the threat we face in order to justify not changing a failed strategy,” Graham wrote on Twitter. “The president is becoming derelict in his duties as Commander in Chief to protect our homeland by not aggressively confronting ISIL.” Despite her pointed critique of the administration, the often-hawkish Harman said during her Aspen remarks last month that she did not believe the U.S. should mount a full-scale military campaign against ISIL. “I don’t think a U.S.led effort against ISIL makes any sense… I think what that would do would be uniting everybody else against us and I don’t think at the moment we’re the enemy,” she said.

Former St. Mary tennis star to make pro debut

Patriots rookie QB gets 1st start vs Giants FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Rookie quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo will get his first NFL start when the New England Patriots visit the New York Giants for Thursday night’s preseason finale.

“It’s a good opportunity to get out there and get some quality reps, so it’s going to be fun,” Garoppolo said Monday at practice.

Garoppolo, who has played well in three preseason games, likely will play a good portion of the game amid talk that incumbent backup Ryan Mallett may be traded.

Garoppolo, the 62nd pick out of Eastern Illinois, is 24-for-37 for 334 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions in the first three games. He hasn’t faced first-teamers — and probably won’t see many Thursday night — but he has looked poised and controlled during his time on the field.

Mallett, a backup the past three seasons, started the preseason opener and didn’t play well. He was the first to relieve starter Tom Brady in last week’s game against the Carolina Panthers and looked better. He is 14-for-26 for 161 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions.

Garoppolo, who has taken 81 snaps, has a 129.8 quarterback rating, while Mallett, who has handled 75 reps, is at 85.6.

Coach Bill Belichick did not have a press conference Monday and will be available Tuesday.

As far as reasons for his success in camp, Garoppolo said, “Just getting in rhythm with the offense. I’ve got a great group of guys around me, who have really made my job a lot easier, so ... week in and week out, improving, and if you do that it makes your job a lot easier.”

Garoppolo struggled in camp workouts but looked much better as soon as the games started.

“That’s part of being a rookie,” he said. “Each day, you keep improving and learning the system that much more, things will just slow down naturally for you. “(The Washington game) was a big building block. Going from there — it’s one of those things you’re going to have your ups and downs being a rookie, that’s just part of the game. You have to just keep gradually improving day in and day out.”

Asked if it matters to him whether he starts or comes off the bench in these games, Garoppolo said, “It’s the opportunity that matters. As long as you get an opportunity and take advantage of that, just showcase what you can do with the players around you. That’s all you can really ask for.”

And through this whole process, he has been learning from one of the best in Tom Brady.

“Just the way he carries himself around the team, in meetings and everything,” he said. “He really brings the best out of the guys around him. If you can do that, that’s the best thing a quarterback can do, I think.”

NOTES: The Patriots released veteran defensive players Tommy Kelly, Will Smith (both linemen) and James Anderson (linebacker) and rookie tight end Justin Jones. Kelly was a starter before getting hurt in the fifth game last year, and Smith missed all of last season in New Orleans with knee surgery.

Anderson was the Chicago Bears’ leading tackler in 2013. Eight more cuts will be made by Tuesday to get down to 75. . Wide receiver Brian Tyms, trying to make this team as a free agent, will play Thursday night before serving a four-game suspension for the use of prescription Adderall. He says he’s been taking it since he was 9, but failed to notify the league.

bles championship in 2012 with Jonathan Murray, and he also reached the opening round of the 2012 Australian Open.

Dobek completed an undefeated Western Massachusetts run as a senior at St. Mary High School, only losing to a Harvard-bound player in the state semifinals.

Dobek garnered Northeast-10 AllConference honors in doubles play in each of his four seasonsat SNHU, while he was a three-time All-Conference performer in singles, including First Team honors in 2011 when he was also named NE-10 Player of the Year.

He finished his career as SNHU’s all-time leader in doubles victories with 71, while his 63 career singles triumphs place him second all-time in that category. During his career, the SNHU Penmen made four trips to the NCAA tournament and won the NE-10 championship in his senior season of 2014.

Caspole promoted to Associate Athletic Director WESTFIELD — Westfield State has promoted Dave Caspole to Associate Athletics Director for External Affairs and Media Relations.

Caspole, a 1994 graduate of Westfield, has worked at the school since 2006 as Senior Development Coordinator for Athletics and most recently as Assistant Director of Development.

His new role will continue with aspects of fundraising to support the Owls 21 varsity programs, and he will assume duties in sports information with the retirement of longtime SID Mickey Curtis.

Caspole brings a strong background in both areas. As an undergraduate he served as a student assistant under Curtis, before professional stops in sports information at Hartwick College, Norwich University, St. Michael’s College and Rochester Institute of Technology.

He has promoted teams and student athletes at the Division I, II and III levels, and served as the host SID for four NCAA Hockey Championships in Division II and III, and worked with two national championship winning programs at St. Michael’s and Norwich.

He’s worked with a wider variety of sports, including final four programs in field hockey and lacrosse. He has been the public address announcer for three NCAA Division III Field Hockey final fours, and broadcast the 1996 final on radio. He served as the radio voice for Westfield State’s basketball, baseball and football programs as an undergraduate, served as the play-by-play announcer for Hartwick College football, and occasionally subbed for hockey and football broadcasts at Norwich.

While at Hartwick, he also served as publicity director for the Empire

Fenway National Anthem Rachel Cousins, 17, of Westfield, was selected to sing the National Anthem at the Red Sox game on July 19th. Rachel is a charter member of the MA National Guard Teen Council and is the New England Representative to the National Guard Teen Panel in Washington, D.C.. Rachel was selected because the Red Sox were honoring the “Run to Home Base” event held earlier that day which raises money for veterans and their families. (Photo Submitted)

Dave Caspole Athletic Association, the New York Region Division I statistics coordinator for Division I men’s soccer, and created the first women’s lacrosse statistics bureau while promoting the Hawks’ final four program.

At Westfield, Caspole developed the Owl

Club as a fundraising vehicle for athletics, and started the highly successful Owl Club Golf Tournament. He also worked volunteer leaders on the campaign to bring back varsity ice hockey, and campaigns that led to the naming of the track after longtime coach Jerry Gravel while supporting the current track and field team, and the Bud and Jim Hagan baseball field in anticipation of enhancements to that site.

“I’m looking forward to stepping back into the athletics realm full-time, “ said Caspole.

“It’s an honor to step in and pick up the work of Mickey Curtis, who has done a great job promoting Westfield State athletics for a generation.”

“Mickey was one of the first people I met at Westfield as a student; he served as a mentor to me, and to many other students who interned in the last 26 years under his guidance. He has had a great impact on many students, and on the recognition that Westfield student athletes have received.”

“I am excited to remain involved with our athletics fundraising and alumni activities as I am able to take some of the many experiences I have had in our advancement office and apply them to the athletics setting,” added Caspole.

Cespedes lifts Sox over Jays

By IAN HARRISON Associated Press TORONTO (AP) — Another late clutch hit from Yoenis Cespedes brought an end to Boston’s lengthy losing streak.

Cespedes singled home the go-ahead run in the 10th inning and the Red Sox survived a ninth-inning collapse to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-3 on Monday night, snapping their slide at eight games.

“Cespy has been so good since coming over to us,” manager John Farrell said.

“Whether it’s been with a base hit or a long ball, he’s been big for us late in games.”

Cespedes has 19 RBIs in 22 games since being traded to Boston on July 31. Seven of those 19 RBIs have given the Red Sox a lead.

Brock Holt hit a one-out single off Aaron Sanchez (2-1) in the 10th and stole second as Dustin Pedroia struck out, with the steal confirmed by video review. Holt stole third before Cespedes drove him in with a single up the middle.

“He’s been doing that ever since he’s come over here,” Holt said of Cespedes. “We’re happy to have him on our side.”

Boston won for the first time since August 16 against Houston and snapped a sixgame skid against the stumbling Blue Jays, who dropped to 6-15 in August.

“It’s nice to win, no matter what, no matter how many you’ve lost in a row or won in a row,” Holt said.

Koji Uehara (6-4) got the win despite blowing his fourth save in 30 chances, and Craig Breslow finished for his first save in two

chances.

Toronto managed just two singles against Red Sox starter Clay Buchholz through the first eight innings, but rallied in the ninth after Jose Reyes and Melky Cabrera delivered back-to-back hits and Jose Bautista walked to load the bases.

“That’s the best we’ve seen him all year,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said of Buchholz.

Uehara came on and got Adam Lind to ground into a fielder’s choice as Reyes scored. Edwin Encarnacion followed with a two-run double beyond the reach of a leaping Cespedes in left, tying it at 3-3.

Mookie Betts hit a one-out drive into the second deck in the fifth, his first homer since July 2. Two batters later, Dustin Pedroia hit a two-run shot, his first since August 3.

It was Boston’s first multihomer inning since July 21, also at Toronto, when they hit two in the fifth inning of a 14-1 rout. The Red Sox have hit 12 home runs at Rogers Centre this season, their highest total at any road stadium.

Both homers came off Blue Jays left-hander J.A. Happ, who allowed three runs and five hits in six innings.

Boston won despite playing without slugger David Ortiz, who sat out with of a bruised right foot. Ortiz left Sunday’s game against Seattle in the sixth, two innings after fouling a ball off his foot. Farrell said he’s “hopeful” that Ortiz will be able to return Tuesday.

HOLT HIT HARD Holt was shaken up when he and Pedroia collided while chasing Reyes’ single in the ninth. Pedroia’s left forearm

hit Holt in the side of the head and the two players went down in a heap. Holt was checked on the field by the trainer and stayed in the game. “Dustin is obviously 1-0 against me,” Holt said.

ARMED AND DANGEROUS Cabrera threw out Christian Vasquez trying to tag up from second on Pedroia’s fly ball to the warning track in the third. It was Cabrera’s 12th assist of the season, the third highest total in the majors.

It’s the most by a Toronto outfielder since Bautista had 13 in 2011.

TRAINER’S ROOM Red Sox: With SS Xander Bogaerts on the 7-day concussion disabled list, Farrell said Holt will handle the position until Bogaerts is able to return. Holt has played all four infield positions and all three outfield spots this season. Boston selected INF Carlos Rivero from Triple-A Pawtucket to replace Bogaerts.

Blue Jays: Gibbons said he doesn’t believe there’s anything wrong with closer Casey Janssen, who’s 0-1 with two blown saves and a 6.59 ERA since the All-Star break. Janssen missed the first 37 games of the season with a back injury.

UP NEXT Red Sox RH Rubby De La Rosa (4-5) faces Blue Jays RH R.A. Dickey (10-12) on Tuesday. De La Rosa has allowed nine hits four times this season, with two of those starts coming against Toronto.

Dickey won for the first time in four starts against Milwaukee last week but worked just 5 2-3 innings, his shortest outing since June 4 at Detroit.

By Jeff Hanouille Staff Writer WINNIPEG, Manitoba – Mitch Dobek, a Westfield native who graduated St. Mary High School in 2009 and recently wrapped up a standout fouryear career with the Southern New Hampshire University men’s tennis program, will compete in his first professional tournament Tuesday after qualifying for the ITF Pro Circuit Manshield Men’s Futures tournament being held at the Winnipeg Lawn Tennis Club. Dobek will face Frederik Nielsen of Denmark in the first round of the 32-player field at 10 a.m. local time.

Legal questions arise for fantasy day game biz

By EDDIE PELLS AP National Writer Some of the newest incarnations of fantasy football look a lot more like gambling than intricate, outsmart-your-opponent strategy games.

Since 2011, the billion-dollar fantasy market has been infused with dozens of daily and weekly games. Those games allow players to win huge prizes quickly, sometimes in one week, sometimes in just one night. With players betting thousands or even tens of thousands a night, legal experts believe it’s time to review the section of the 2006 federal law that was written specifically to protect fantasy sports from being banned the way online poker was.

“There’s importance in clarifying the law,” says Marc Edelman, a professor at Fordham Law School who studies the law as it applies to fantasy sports. “As long as there’s uncertainty about the legality of these games, some potential businesses that might enter the marketplace stay out.”

Seasonal leagues are largely the domain of billion-dollar companies such as CBS and ESPN, with close ties to the NFL. For now, they have remained on the sidelines of the short-term business, leaving it largely in the hands of companies such as FanDuel, which is expecting to triple its base to 500,000 fans this season.

“We have the most popular fantasy football game going,” said Kevin Ota of ESPN, which boasts an estimated 14 million fantasy players.

“It’s been incredibly successful, and we’re focused on improving our game every year. We always keep our eye on opportunities to serve

sports fans better.”

ESPN officials say they have no immediate plans for weekly cash games.

Traditional leagues at ESPN and elsewhere received their legal clearance from the 2006 Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, which was designed mainly to stop Internet poker. It included an important “carve out” for fantasy football. Meanwhile, most state laws define fantasy football as skill-based propositions, which keeps them legal.

Peter Schoenke, chairman of the Fantasy Sports Trade Association, says daily and weekly games that adhere to the group’s rules also are protected by the 2006 law, and that the NFL and Major League Baseball “have fully embraced fantasy sports in all forms, both free and pay.”

“If a game operator doesn’t follow the UIEGA, the FSTA doesn’t consider the contest to be a true ‘fantasy sports’ contest,” Schoenke said.

Las Vegas-based attorney Tony Cabot, who has practiced gambling law for three decades, said it’s easy to argue that season-long games are skill based “because you exercise a great deal of skill in operating a team.”

“You have to figure out who to draft, play, trade and all those things to have a successful season,” Cabot said. “And because you’re doing all that, you’re betting on an outcome you can control.”

The day-game world can be much different and the skill level needed to “run” a team that exists for only one week is far lower than that for a season-long enterprise.

Annie’s Mailbox

By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

Verry Blessed, But Hurt Dear Annie: I have been married to a wonderful man for 30 years. We have a large, supportive, loving family on both sides.

I love my mother-in-law dearly. We have always had a wonderful, close relationship.

Here’s the problem. In Mom’s will, it states that if she passes away before my husband, he receives the inheritance. If my husband passes away before his mother, our children receive the inheritance. While this is fine, it hurts me that I am not mentioned at all. My husband has talked to his mother about this oversight, and she said this is the way she wants her will set up.

I have been a good wife, mother and daughter and don’t understand why she would ignore me this way. I don’t expect to inherit money, but a special token would be nice -- perhaps a piece of jewelry that she wore or a cherished keepsake. The point is knowing that she thought of me.

Are most wills set up this way? I feel like I’m not really a part of her family. -- Very Blessed, But Hurt Dear Blessed: Most wills are set up to provide for children and grandchildren. Spouses of the children are sometimes included, but not always. There is often a worry that the child will someday divorce the spouse, and the family heirlooms would end up with someone who is no longer related. It’s also possible that by limiting the beneficiaries to immediate blood relatives, Mom is preventing rivalries between spouses. Please try not to think of this as evidence that your mother-in-law doesn’t care for you. We don’t believe that is the case.

Dear Annie: Fifteen years ago, I helped my oldest daughter and son-in-law with a down payment on a house. So far, I haven’t seen so much as a dollar in repayment from them.

My husband passed away six years ago, so I sure could use the money. Why are adult children so self-centered? I’m at a loss as to what I can do. Whatever I have left I’m leaving to the SPCA. -- Hurt Mother Dear Mother: Did your daughter consider this a loan or a gift? She may not realize it was intended to be repaid. Have you asked her? Please tell your daughter you were happy to help her when you had the opportunity, but now that you need money, you would appreciate it if she would make an effort to repay the loan. Then set up a payment schedule that she can handle.

Dear Annie: I want to add a cautionary tale to the recommendation you gave “Wedding Jitters” about a prenuptial agreement.

When my mother passed away, my father remarried in Florida. He and his second wife went to a local lawyer and had a prenuptial agreement drawn up to protect his extensive assets for his children and grandchildren should he predecease his second wife. When Dad died, the agreement allowed his second wife to remain in the house and live off of their joint assets.

When my stepmother died, however, we discovered that she had moved everything into her name before my father’s death and consequently willed it to her family. My sister and I retained a lawyer in New York who aggressively pursued this through the prenuptial agreement and my father’s will. But apparently, his prenup is not considered a binding contract in Florida and is essentially meaningless. We inherited nothing from my parents’ life of scrimping and saving. It may have protected my father in the event of a divorce, but it did not protect his estate. -- Sad but Wiser Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.

HINTS FROM HELOISE SANITIZING SPRAY Dear Heloise: Can you please reprint your recipe for sanitizing spray? -- Y.H. in Kentucky Of course! It’s easy and very, very cheap! But make up only as much as you will use in a day or two -- don’t make a big batch. This formula is light- and heat-sensitive, so it will totally lose its “power” if exposed to these elements.

Just mix 1 tablespoon of regular household bleach with 1 quart of water, and be absolutely sure to mark the bottle in BIG print.

This spray can be used almost anywhere: tubs, showers, sinks, counters, etc. The DON’TS: Don’t use on real marble, unsealed granite or other delicate surfaces. Making your own homestyle cleaning solutions saves you a lot of money. For more formulas, order my Heloise’s Homemade Cleaning Solutions pamphlet.

To receive, send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped envelope to: Heloise/Cleaners, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Spray this same solution on tile grout in between cleanings to help prevent mold and mildew. -- Heloise HUMMINGBIRD FEEDERS Dear Readers: I have a few hummingbird feeders hanging from the eaves of our home. To hang them at different heights, my husband, David, suggested using wire hangers. He straightened them out, snipped off the hook, made two smaller hooks and voila -- I now have them at different heights. Love these little buzz bombers! -- Heloise

By Jaqueline Bigar

DOG EAT DOUG

Brian Anderson

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Aug. 26, 2014: This year you will experience a new beginning in a significant area of your life. You’ll have a tendency to give more than you have in the past. You even might do some volunteer work. If you are a healer, you touch many people. If you are single, you keep attracting people who are emotionally unavailable.

Take your time going from dating to making a commitment. You will want to see the full personality of your sweetie before taking the next step. If you are attached, the two of you flourish in your private moments. Make plenty of oneon-one time a priority. A fellow VIRGO understands you very well.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Your ability to deflect others’ attempts at manipulation will allow you to experience an easier day. Even though you are on the right course and you know what you are doing, you still might feel somewhat awkward. Don’t worry -- this feeling is only temporary.

Tonight: All smiles.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You could gain a sudden insight. You might ignore it at first, but it will prove to be more relevant than you think. Your creativity will emerge from out of the blue, and it will add zest to everything you do. Be more direct with a loved one. Tonight: Enjoy the moment.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You will be coming from a fairly rational and solid perspective.

Take care of certain personal matters, like scheduling a checkup with your doctor. You could be amazed by what comes out while you’re relaxing at home. Tonight: Order in.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You could be overwhelmed by all the possibilities that lie ahead. Just relax and sort through what is possible, while still keeping an eye on your priorities. You might be surprised by what happens as a result. Tonight: Make calls, and catch up on news.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Remain poised, and don’t question what you have to offer.

Someone’s changeability might be a form of manipulation. Listen to forthcoming news, but be aware of the bigger picture. You can be sure that you have heard only one person’s side. Tonight: Do some shopping.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You might want to open a door or create a more adaptable situation. Be ready to do whatever it takes to get where you want to go. You could be more hot-tempered than you realize.

Think in terms of financial gains.

Tonight: Only what makes you happy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Take your time right now, as you seem to have a lot on your mind.

You might not feel as if you can deal with everything that is happening around you. For that reason, hold off on making any decisions until you are 100 percent sure. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH A meeting or get-together with friends will enlighten you about a matter that you had not even considered.

Someone who admires you will do everything possible to help you relax.

Let this person know that you appreciate his or her efforts. Tonight: Where the action is.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Take the lead on a financial matter, and your bank account will benefit. You can revamp your money situation with some help from a respected adviser or family member. Your instincts will guide you through a problem.

Tonight: All eyes are on you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH You might stumble upon some valuable information. Your instincts will be right-on with someone at a distance. You see possibilities where others don’t. Communicating your thoughts to them will happen with ease when you are ready. Tonight: Wherever there is great music.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Deal with a loved one directly to get to the root of a problem. A higher-up will run with the information you give him or her. Let others put in their two cents. You might get significant feedback. An older person could be cold and demanding. Tonight: Play the night away.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Get some feedback before

Crosswords

you act on a decision. You have the energy and resources necessary to help others succeed. Share more with them, and they will be more supportive. Have a conversation with a loved one who might be insecure. Tonight: Just don’t be alone.

The Italian Cultural Center of Western Massachusetts, Inc. Announces ‘Friday Night at the Italian Cinema’ SPRINGFIELD-The Italian Cultural Center of Western Massachusetts wishes to announce that starting with ‘Rome Open City’, on Friday, September 5, we will begin a 3-month celebration of Italian movies. The movies will be shown the 1st Fridays of September, October and November. The first movie, ‘Rome Open City’, a landmark of Italian neorealism released in 1945, is often cited as one of the greatest films ever made.

Roberto Rossellini’s portrait of life under the Nazi Occupation remains remarkable for its sheer immediacy, tension and power.

Dr. Rocco Mesiti will present the screening. Dr. Mesiti is an adjunct professor of Italian culture at Western New England University, the Dean of Students at Duggan Middle School, and a teacher of the Italian language at the high school of Science and Technology. He is also a writer, director and producer of film.

The movies will be held at the Italian Cultural Center of Western Massachusetts at 56 Margaret Street in Springfield.

The doors will open at 6:00pm and the movie will start at 7:00pm. With the requested donation of $7 for members and $10 for non-members, you will be given a choice of beverage and snack.

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.

Name:

State:

Experience in the operation of wastewater treatment machinery or equipment; or considerable experience in the operation of closely related industrial process, water treatment or similar equipment and machinery. Graduation from a standard high school or vocational school supplemented by college level or technical school courses in wastewater treatment or closely related fields.

Massachusetts certification as wastewater operator license grade 4 or higher.

Class D driver's license.

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