By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A Southwick Road man was arrested for assault and larceny charges Saturday after allegedly assaulting his then girlfriend. A Southwood Acres resident had come to the department Friday afternoon to complain of domestic assault. Officer Gary Hagar reports the woman said that she had been beaten by her boyfriend, John Michal Duval, 28, of 342 Southwick Road. The victim told Hagar that she had been swimming in the pool at her apartment complex and when she returned to her home she found her boyfriend of two years, who was upset because he had not been able to contact her, waiting for her. The woman said that an argument ensued and Duval accused her of infidelity before the altercation became physical when he pushed her head into a wall, causing her to fall to the floor. While she was on the floor, the woman said, Duval grabbed her hair See Assault, Page 3

Autism advocates offer advice By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A roundtable discussion about autism advocacy was held at Genesis Spiritual Life Center in Westfield last night, with a panel of three experts addressing concerns of about two dozen parents and local service providers. Judith Ursitti, CPA, Autism Speaks’ director of state government affairs, Amy Weinstock, director of the Autism Insurance Resource Center at the Shriver Center at UMass Medical Center, and Autism Speaks’ Autism Response Team Senior Coordinator Emily Mulligan were the featured speakers at the event, sponsored by Autism Speaks New England.
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and autism are both general terms for a group of complex disorders of brain development. These disorders are characterized, in varying degrees, by difficulties in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication and repetitive behaviors. Today, the prevalence of autism is one in 68 people – and one in 42 boys – under age 21 has ASD. The panel spoke mainly about autism insurance and Individual Education Plans IEP) and fielded questions from the audience during the intimate seminar. Ursitti said in 2010 Massachusetts passed the Autism Insurance Law, known as ARICA,which required See Advocates, Page 3
By Peter Francis Staff Writer HUNTINGTON – The Gateway Town Advisory Committee (GTAC) met Saturday morning at Huntington’s Stanton Hall. Derrick Mason, a member of GTAC and the Russell Finance Committee, said that the committee discussed the role it would like to continue playing in the community and in the impending reorganization needs conference between the Gateway Regional School District and the town of Worthington. The conference will be mediated by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and hinges on the approval of the new education plans by Gateway and Worthington, which must be sent to DESE by the first week of August. “Once all that stuff goes to the commissioner, DESE either approves or rejects those plans. If either one of those plans is rejected, the process is stopped and they go back to the drawing board,” said Mason. “If the commissioner approves both of those plans, then there is a reorganization needs conference, and that could take quite a while, in my understanding.” Mason hopes that GTAC can be a part of the process in support of the Gateway Regional School Committee. “We want to make sure that as many elements within the community are well represented,” he said. “The school committee primarily represents students and parents, but there are a lot of other players involved – taxpayers, businesses, senior citizens, a
lot of other interests,” he said. “We want to make sure that everybody gets a fair hearing.” Saturday’s meeting focused on what the group can do to raise their profile and exposure for the needs conference. “Ruth Kennedy is the legislative liasion for the school committee and is functioning in that role for GTAC, and is in frequent contact with people at DESE, and will be able to keep us informed about whats going to be going on,” Mason said. “We’re also hoping that the Massachusetts Office of Public Collaboration (MOPC) can be brought in to help facilitate the reorganization needs conference.” According to Mason, MOPC has worked with DESE on many occasions in the past, and GTAC has confidence that MOPC can play “an important role to make sure the process is civil and that various elements are fully engaged.” “Hopefully, the outcome is something everyone can live with,” he said. Also discussed at the meeting were other ways that the committee will try to raise community awareness of their efforts. “We’d also like to increase our exposure by having booths or tables that we can share at more public functions, whether they’re athletic events, fairs, different things that theres good public attendance at,” Mason said. The longtime GTAC member, who serves as a de facto leader of sorts with Huntington Finance Committee Chair Darlene McVeigh, is also very concerned with what he refers to as some of See GTAC, Page 8
Senior center construction begins By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Construction of the long-awaited senior center began yesterday as crews from Forish Construction Inc., of Mainline Drive began site preparation at the estate of Mary Noble. Council on Aging Executive Director Tina Gorman said that senior citizens, in particular those living at the Ely-Dolan Apartments, located directly behind the Noble Street construction site, were calling and emailing her. “I was getting a blow-by-blow morning report,” Gorman said this morning. “There is activity, they’re going, and it’s very exciting. They’re staging the area, putting up construction fencing.
There’s a Sanican on the site.” Forish Construction submitted the low bid of $6,184,541 and a combined price of $6,324,625 for the construction and six alternates, for the two-story, 20,000-square-foot senior center construction project on Noble Street. Construction of the Council on Aging senior center began yesterday following the unanimous June 30 vote of the City Council to give final approval to the $7.5 million bond to finance the project. That bond approval vote was followed by a 20-day waiting period required by state law to allow citizens to challenge the bond sale. Gorman said that “technically the contract started on July 21
(2014)” initiating a 14-month construction cycle. “It will be finished, if all goes well, by September of 2015,” Gorman said. “There will be a formal ground-breaking ceremony at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 19, followed by a reception at the senior center on Main Street. We scheduled it early in the morning because it tends to be very hot at that time of the summer.” Typically, the actual construction project is financed through short term borrowing called bond anticipation notes (BANs). The bond is actually sold following completion of the project when the exact dollar amount is known and is often less than the dollar See Senior Center, Page 8

By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The long arm of the law was extended to reach into the middle of Pequot Pond when police launched in June the Patti Andras, a repurposed pontoon boat, to patrol the lake. The boat, name after a former police commissioner, city councilor and concerned citizen, has been on station in the Pequot Pond for the past three weekends and its presence is being felt by boaters and other users of the pond and the state park there. Police Chief John Camerota has said that the residents of the ponds
neighborhood have been crying out for enforcement on the waters of the ponds where jet skis and other speedy watercraft, often unregistered, have reportedly operated recklessly with impunity for years. Although officers in the maritime patrol have not suddenly started to strictly enforce the rules on the lake, they have been educating and warning boaters and at least one boat operator has found that police patience is not endless. Capt. Hipolito Nunez said yesterday that a citation issued Sunday See Pond Patrol, Page 3

SOUTHWICK – On June 6 at 10 a.m., 56 students, celebrated Watkinson School’s 66th commencement including Ellen Motsko of Southwick. Despite the white dresses and matching ties, the ceremony was anything but traditional. Watkinson’s mission is to “develop in our students the power to shape their lives and the world around them,” so years ago the administration decided that instead of inviting an outside speaker, it would be more meaningful to have the graduates themselves offer advice and reflections to their peers. Motsko reflected on her experiences at Watkinson- what she learned, loved, and what she will keep with her as she heads off to college and beyond. Any graduating senior can opt to perform or speak at graduation, but they must go through a long, serious process of draft writing, reflection and practice, attending to deadlines along the way. Senior presentations ranged from heartfelt speeches to songs, to poems and Ellen Motsko of Southwick speaks at quartets to dance performances. Watkinson’s 66th graduation festivities. Watkinson School is Hartford’s oldest independent (Photo submitted) day school serving students in grades 6-12/PG.

Chase ends as man runs into a Miss. police academy BILOXI, Miss. (AP) — Police say a man who fled from a Mississippi traffic stop was apparently so focused on getting away he unknowingly ran into a law enforcement academy. Biloxi Police Chief John Miller Police Chief John Miller tells The Sun-Herald (http://bit.ly/1wS5t9H ) 30-year-old Roger Beasley Jr. was stopped by officers last Wednesday on U.S. 90 in the city. Miller’s statement says Beasley jumped from his vehicle and ran. According to police, Beasley didn’t notice marked police cars outside the Harrison County Law Enforcement Training Academy. He says Beasley ran into the building while training was in session — and arrested. Authorities say Beasley was booked on charges including possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine, resisting arrest and careless driving. He’s free on bond. It wasn’t immediately known if Beasley has an attorney.

Government Meetings
Unaccompanied immigrant children topic in governor’s race By STEVE LeBLANC Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Gov. Deval Patrick’s offer to shelter unaccompanied children crossing the nation’s southern border is drawing a range of reactions from those hoping to fill his job. The three Democratic candidates for governor — Attorney General Martha Coakley, former federal health care official Donald Berwick, and state Treasurer Steve Grossman — have all praised Patrick for responding to a humanitarian crisis. Republican candidate Charlie Baker said that all states should work with the federal government to help provide emergency assistance but Massachusetts shouldn’t become the “steward or the financier” of those services here. Patrick on Friday said Camp Edwards military base on Cape Cod and Westover Air Reserve Base in Chicopee will be reviewed by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services officials to see if either is suitable for housing the children, most of whom are coming from Central America. Only one site, if either, would be selected. Patrick said the federal government is looking for places that can house up to 1,000 children for four months. He said each child would stay for an average of about 35 days and that all expenses will be picked up by the federal government while they are being processed for deportation, reunification or asylum. He said the children won’t attend local schools. The three Democrats running for governor have backed Patrick’s offer. Coakley said that while a national immigration solution is ultimately needed, it’s the right thing for Massachusetts to harbor the children — some of whom are fleeing from dangerous situations — provided the federal government picks up the cost. Berwick called the offer of shelter “an act of dignity, compassion, and generosity.” Grossman also praised Patrick, saying “we must treat all children in need with the values of human decency, justice, and compassion.” Baker said the federal government needs to be more upfront about the proposal, pointing to other challenges the state is facing like the ongoing struggle to place homeless families into permanent housing. “The federal government must commit to sharing a regular report that updates local and state officials on the status of the children in all cooperating states,” Baker said. “Massachusetts cannot afford to become the steward or the financier of services for these children.” Baker’s Republican challenger Mark Fisher criticized Patrick for offering the sites, saying his decision to “to allow law breaking, illegal immigrants a safe harbor in Massachusetts has brought the national immigration crisis to Massachusetts in full force.” Independent gubernatorial hopeful Evan Falchuk said children entering the country from Central America have a right to a hearing and Massachusetts, and other states, should help the federal government manage the crisis. Fellow independent Jeff McCormick blamed the crisis on drug cartels in Central American and Washington politicians unable to resolve the immigration stalemate. “The world is filling with many people who suffer from hunger, terror, war and injustice, Massachusetts cannot be the savior for all of those people,” McCormick said.

Night flying for Barnes Air National Guard Base WESTFIELD – The 104th Fighter Wing at Barnes Air National Guard Base is scheduled to conduct evening training flights over the next two weeks from July 22 – August 1. The evening missions will launch from Barnes-Westfield Regional Airpor between 4-5 p.m., with expected landings between 8:30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. According to the base, “We do not want to alarm the residence around the local area of Westfield who may be startled by the increase in aircraft activity during the evening and night time hours. These missions are a critical part of our required reoccurring training. The night-training is required to ensure our pilots are ready to respond to any airborne threat in the Northeastern United States, at any time, in any condition. We would appreciate your help in sharing this news, to help alleviate the local residents from being alarmed. With our 24/7 alert posture, our Airmen could respond to an airborne threat at any time protecting one quarter of the nation’s population and one third of the its Gross Domestic Product. We often do not have the luxury of advance notice, however, when we can prepare for training missions such as these, we will try to share as much information as we can. Thank you for your continued support.”

A Holyoke man speeding on the water was warned to slow down three times Sunday, Officer Matthew Schultze reports, before the boat patrol officers decided they had to take action. The fourth time he was found to be violation of the 45 mph speed limit on the pond he was cited. Schultze reports the man was found to be operating his boat at 46 mph before he was cited.

Assault
Continued from Page 1 and smashed her head against the floor before she was able to regain her feet. The man continued to assault her and demanded that she give him her cellphone so he could search for evidence of her perceived infidelity. When she refused to hand over her phone, the woman said, Duval punched her with a closed fist. The woman said that Duval continued to punch her and he also pushed her head into the mattress as she pleaded with him to leave her alone and curled into a ball on the bed. The victim said that when he left the room she locked herself inside and could hear him going through her purse. When the woman eventually was able to reclaim her purse she found $25 in cash and her medication missing. The woman said that the she fell asleep but when she awoke at 4 a.m. she could hear that Duval was still in the apartment. When she awoke at 9 a.m. she heard no sounds and left the apartment. She told Hagar that she first went to hospital and then to Westfield District Court for a protective order. From there, the woman said, she went to the police station. Hagar filed an application for a warrant and on Saturday morning, the victim called police to report that Duval had violated the protective order by coming back to the apartment. Officer Aaron Spiller found that the protective order had not been served but when Duval was found at the apartment he was arrested on charges of assault and battery, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, intimidating a witness, and two charges of larceny of property valued less than $250. When taken into custody, he was found to be in possession of the victim’s debit card. Duval was arraigned Sunday before Judge Philip A. Contant in Westfield District Court and released on $1,500 personal surety pending an Aug. 28 hearing.
Westfield High School Freshman Orientation
WESTFIELD — Jonathan B. Carter, Principal of Westfield High School, invites all incoming freshman and their parents/ guardians to attend Freshman/Parent Orientation on Wednesday, August 20, 2014 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. This will be an opportunity to get acquainted with the school and programs that are offered at Westfield High School.
Advocates
Continued from Page 1 health insurers in Massachusetts to provide coverage for the diagnosis and treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder. Some audience members said that their insurance companies were providing little to no coverage for autism services, including Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Ursitti said self-funded insurance was likely the problem. “Self-funded insurance is usually offered by large companies that are in several states,” said Ursitti. “They don’t buy insurance. They fund it out of a bank account.” Because insurance is not purchased in one state, it is not state regulated but federally regulated. Currently, there are no federal insurance requirements to cover autism. “That’s the goal,” said Ursitti, who travels the country to help families advocate for autism insurance coverage. While changing a large company’s insurance coverage is a difficult task, Ursitti said it’s not impossible. She spoke specifically about Capital One and its lack of autism coverage. When a group of employees in need of ASD coverage banded together to advocate for the coverage, the company included autism coverage in its next policy. Some participants in the discussion asked about the lack of ABA coverage with MassHealth. Weinstock said there are options. “You can get premium coverage with MassHealth and get autism services,” she said, warning that it can be a lengthy process, but she and Ursitti know the tricks to fiding many “doors and windows” to get the needed autism coverage. All three panelists said parents need to persevere while advocating for their children when it comes to services, insurance and IEPs. “Take these things as they come, but never give up hope,” Weinstock said. Both Weinstock and Ursitti have children on the spectrum, and both women began the fight for insurance coverage for their own children and realized the need for autism coverage across the country. Ursitti even moved her family from her native Texas to Massachusetts because the insurance and opportunities were better here. “As challenging as it is, Massachusetts is so far ahead of just about every state,” she said. When asked how to approach IEP meetings, the panelists said parents must be firm and educate themselves, but often, a professional autism advocate is the best way to get results, particularly in the early years when parents are still learning their way through the IEP process. Weinstock said parents are the key to success. “Don’t ever let anybody suggest you shouldn’t have the same dreams as families without these challenges,” she said.

A hell of a world By Roger Simon Politico.com ‘If you’re going through hell,” Winston Churchill once said, “keep going.” Last week felt like hell. A Malaysian passenger jet took off from Amsterdam and was shot down over Ukraine by a missile supplied by Russia to separatist rebels. All 298 on board were killed. As I write this, 251 bodies and 86 “body fragments” have been recovered. But only if you loosely define “recovered.” “Drunken — I mean literally, drunken — separatist soldiers are piling bodies into trucks unceremoniously and disturbing the evidence,” Secretary of State John Kerry said on “Fox News Sunday.” Nowhere was there more anguish and anger than in the Netherlands, which lost 193 of its citizens on the flight, far more than any other country. Prime Minister Mark Rutte, not given to emotional outbursts, called the behavior of the separatists at the site “utterly disgusting” and demanded that Russian President Vladimir Putin intervene. In Gaza, Israelis unleashed horrific attacks in response to missiles fired from Gaza into Israel. One problem in reaching any solution is that both Gaza and Israel have hard-line governments. In fact, hard-line governments seem to be prevailing all over the world at the moment. Putin, a former high-ranking KGB thug and ultra-nationalist, must have been baffled when Sen. Dianne Feinstein Sunday told him to “man up.” The often shirtless, tiger-hunting, bareback-riding Putin seems to suffer from too much testosterone, not too little. In any case, there is no reason for despair. All the forces in the world bent on chaos and destruction are up against a power they will soon have to reckon with. That’s us. Just in case you have forgotten. As President Barack Obama said in his State of the Union address on Jan. 24, 2012: “America is back. … No, we can’t control every event. But America remains the one indispensable nation in world affairs — and as long as I’m president, I intend to keep it that way.” The oft-repeated notion that America is “exceptional” can be traced back to Alexis de Tocqueville in 1831. But Obama was upping the ante. We are not just exceptional; we are now indispensable when it comes to world affairs. “Never bet against the United States of America,” Obama advised the graduates of the Air Force Academy on May 23, 2012 (a group that was unlikely to do so). “And one of the reasons is that the United States has been, and will always be, the one indispensable nation in world affairs.” As the years passed, even with world affairs seeming to slip away from us in Syria, North Korea, Iran, Afghanistan, Crimea and Iraq, Obama did not change his rhetoric. To the West Point graduating class, Obama said on May 28, 2014: “In fact, by most measures, America has rarely been stronger relative to the rest of the world. Those who argue otherwise — who suggest that America is in decline, or has seen its global leadership slip away — are either misreading history or engaged in partisan politics.” Which led to his patented zinger: “The United States is and remains the one indispensable nation. That has been true for the century past and it will be true for the century to come.” And don’t worry, Hillary Clinton is ready to pick up the torch. In the author’s note to her recent tome, “Hard Choices,” she writes: “Everything that I have done and seen, has convinced me that America remains the ‘indispensable nation.’” So how come we don’t feel it? Never mind that Gallup has Obama’s approval rating in America at 41 percent, 1 point above his record low, and Putin’s approval in Russia at 83 percent, tied with his all-time high. And never mind that last September, The New York Times wrote: “Mr. Putin has eclipsed Mr. Obama as the world leader driving the agenda in the Syria crisis. … More generally, Russia has at least for now made itself indispensable …” Not to worry. Obama can get the title back for us. Though it won’t be easy.

Kerry in Egypt to help broker truce By Associated Press CAIRO — Egypt’s foreign minister raised the possibility Tuesday of restarting stalled peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians as part of negotiating a cease-fire in the war that has broken out on the Gaza Strip. At the start of a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, Foreign Minister Sameh Shukri said he planned to work with U.S. and other world leaders “to not only resolve this issue but also to set in motion once again the peace process that Secretary Kerry has been so actively involved in so as to end this ongoing conflict between the Palestinians and the Israelis.” Kerry said his discussions with Shukri sought to “hopefully find not only a way to a cease-fire, but a way to deal with the underlying issues, which are very complicated.” But he stopped short of agreeing to reopen the peace talks that abruptly broke off last April after nearly nine months of his personal attention. Kerry is in Cairo trying to help broker a truce after two weeks of fighting that have killed more than 570 Palestinians and two dozen Israelis. Before Kerry began his meetings with top Egyptian and Arab League officials Tuesday, Israeli aircraft hit more than 70 targets in the Gaza Strip, including the home of the late leader of Hamas’ military wing, five mosques and a football stadium, according to a Gaza police official. Adding a further complication, an Israeli defense official told The Associated Press that an Israeli soldier is missing following a deadly battle in Gaza over the weekend. In the past Israel has paid a heavy price to retrieve soldiers — dead or alive — captured by its enemies. President Barack Obama, meanwhile, is trying a delicate balancing act on the Mideast conflict. Obama on Monday reaffirmed his belief that Israel has the right to defend itself against a barrage of more than 1,500 rockets launched by Hamas, while voicing fresh concern about civilian casualties. He said Israel’s military assault of Gaza had already done “significant damage” to Hamas’ network of tunnels, safe havens and other infrastructure as he talked of the need for a cease-fire. “We have serious concerns about the rising number of Palestinian civilian deaths and the loss of Israeli lives,” Obama said in Washington. “And that is why it now has to be our focus and the focus of the international community to bring about a cease-fire that ends the fighting and can stop the deaths of innocent civilians, both in Gaza and in Israel.” Kerry flew to Cairo on Monday to join diplomatic efforts to resume a truce that last had been agreed to in November 2012.
He will urge the militant Palestinian group to accept a ceasefire agreement offered by Egypt. Upon arriving, Kerry headed almost immediately into a meeting with U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, where he announced the U.S. will send $47 million in humanitarian aid for tens of thousands of Palestinians who have fled their homes in Gaza to escape the violence. Kerry’s top aides warned that achieving an immediate and lasting cease-fire would be difficult, but said he hoped to make progress over the next several days to secure at least a temporary pause in the bloodshed. Ban, speaking to reporters before the meeting with Kerry, said he was disappointed that nine months of U.S.-led talks between Israel and the Palestinians hadn’t yielded better results. Those negotiations ended after it was clear that neither side would make major concessions needed to clinch a peace plan. “Violence must stop and must stop now,” Ban told reporters. It’s not clear exactly what Israel and Hamas would each demand in return for agreeing to a truce now, but senior State Department officials said the issue of opening border crossings from Gaza — potentially into Israel and Egypt — was under discussion. Kerry met early Tuesday with Palestinian intelligence chief Majid Faraj, and was expected to meet with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, Arab League President Nabil Elaraby and other top officials over the next few days. But there were no immediate plans for face-to-face meetings with officials from Qatar, Turkey, Israel and Ramallah, and the State Department aides said it remained uncertain what could be accomplished in the talks. A truce between Israel and Hamas has been beset by violence three times since 2009, and was last brokered in November 2012 by Kerry’s predecessor, Hillary Rodham Clinton. Having already deployed an estimated 1,000 ground troops, Israel’s military has pushed farther into Gaza than it had in 2012 and the conflict is farther along now than it was then. At the same time, the State officials noted, Hamas believes it was not given what it was promised in 2012 to lay down its arms, making it more skeptical of a cease-fire now. Finally, Hamas’ relationship with Egypt, which is negotiating directly with the militant group, has deteriorated since President Mohammed Morsi was ousted in last year’s coup. Egypt has since outlawed Morsi’s party, the Muslim Brotherhood, which has ties to Hamas.
RNC presses voters to ‘fire Harry Reid’ By Burgess Everett Politico.com In 2010 Republicans urged voters to “Fire Pelosi” and return the House to GOP control. Four years later, the GOP has a new target: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. On Tuesday the Republican National Committee is launching a two-week robocall campaign hoping to nationalize Senate races across a slew of battleground states, arguing that each race will serve less as an individual contest and more as a referendum on the leadership of Reid. The Nevada Democrat has become broadly reviled by Republicans this year, as he gleefully attacks the GOP as obstructionist and beholden to wealthy conservatives like Charles and David Koch. Reid has also largely ignored bills sent over from the House this year and sheltered vulnerable Senate Democrats from voting on contentious legislation proposed by the GOP. Now Republicans hope to use those examples to build a case against Reid and argue that his procedural chokehold is the reason for the Senate’s painful levels of gridlock. “The only way to stop President Obama’s agenda and to get jobs bills out of Congress is to fire Harry Reid. And the way to fire Harry Reid is to support your Republican Senate candidate. It doesn’t matter who the Democrat candidate is. A vote for a
Democrat is a vote for Harry Reid,” RNC Chairman Reince Priebus will say in a statement on Tuesday morning. An RNC official briefed on the effort said that the GOP’s successful email and social media campaigns specifically targeting Reid have led them to expand the effort to robocalling. The official said voters’ distaste for the leadership in the Democratically-controlled Senate is beginning to show up in polling. The RNC’s robocalls will target households across a spectrum of Senate races, some close and others deemed relatively safe for Democrats. The calls will go out in Alaska, Colorado, Louisiana, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Virginia, Iowa, Michigan and South Dakota. The call script identifies each Democratic lawmaker running for the Senate — mostly incumbents, but also a pair of House members running for higher office — as a “rubber stamp” for President Barack Obama and Reid. “President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid have blocked hundreds of bills that would spur job creation,” the calls will say. “It’s time to fire Harry Reid. It’s time to vote against [name of Democratic candidate].” Manu Raju contributed to this report.

Faces of Carson
The Carson Center for Human Services Celebrating 50 Years of Real Help with Real Life 1963-2013 None of the baby books said anything about this. Dante would not stop crying. He wasn’t hungry, not thirsty, not too hot nor too cold. He wasn’t wet and he wasn’t alone. Stacia remembered she had one of those little round activity centers that her sister had given her at the baby shower. Because it was for older babies, she hadn’t even taken it out of its wrappings. Since a three month old can’t hold himself aright, she rolled up towels and placed them all around Dante so that he could sit in the little fabric seat in the middle of the activity center. In front of him were buttons and knobs, musical instruments and other easy to manipulate toys. The moment she placed him down, Dante became quiet and got to work with the little toys. Could it be that her three month old son had been…bored? When he was two and a half, Stacia went into Dante’s room late one night to straighten his covers. “What are you doing up so late?” she asked. “I’ve been thinking about the number twelve. Twelve breaks into threes and fours and twos. Isn’t that so pretty, mommy?” Division. At four, a neighbor at church asked Dante, “How high can you count, young man?” “Numbers don’t end,” he explained. “They go to infinity.” “Oh! Well, yes. Yes, of course….they…do.” Dante loved numbers. In elementary school, Dante would spend hours decorating the house with numbers that corresponded to the days of school. The numbers were written on little symbols—either fall maple leaves, pumpkins, Thanksgiving turkeys, Christmas trees, Valentine’s hearts, spring flowers or suns. Each symbol corresponded to the season during the school year in which the numbered school day occurred. They symbols were taped in order on the walls of the house. Where a doorway interfered with his order, Dante strung yarn, and found a way to hang his numbers across the yarn. The house was filled with his beloved numbers. Similarly, Dante loved clocks and keeping track of time. Every moment of life had an associated set of numbers. Joy. People were not as predictable, reliable and as easy to understand as numbers. When Stacia said they would eat dinner at 5:30, Dante would become extremely agitated at every minute that passed following that time. 5:34 was so unacceptable that Dante would scream, “Why did you LIE to me?” By the time he was nine, Dante had decided that the world was filled with liars. “I’ll be there in a minute,” was at least as much of a deception as a cheerful, “Just a second!” The timing of televised sports games as in, “There’s only two minutes remaining,” felt scandalous to Dante. Two minutes in sports was at least ten minutes in real clock time. Language itself had so many hidden meanings that Dante was exhausted searching for them. People said his mom Stacia was “on fire” when she sang and, it turns out, she was definitely not on fire; she wasn’t even feeling unusually warm when she sang. They spoke of a “monkey wrench in the works” when there was no monkey to be found in any room in the house. Stacia just wanted to have family dinner together with Dante without fighting. She, too, was exhausted. Translating the world for Dante who argued every point had taken so much of the happiness out of mothering. Carson’s In Home Therapy team came to help. They started by introducing Dante to the idea that most people talk in averages, in approximation—most of the time, they mean something close to what they say, but not exactly what they say. “Only math is perfect,” his In Home Therapist told him. It’s a big idea for Dante, with lots of applications. So that’s where they are. Practicing. When they are stuck in traffic and his mom despairs, “We’re never going to get anywhere!” Dante remembers what his Carson team told him. He doesn’t yell. He doesn’t panic. He says to himself, “Yes, we are. It’s just going to take longer than we thought.” By JAC Patrissi

Considering traveling
AIDS conference attendees on downed Malaysian jet
while you’re pregnant?
By KRISTEN GELINEAU Associated Press SYDNEY (AP) — A prominent researcher, two activists and at least three others headed to an AIDS conference in Australia were on the Malaysian jetliner shot down over Ukraine, news that sparked an outpouring of grief across the scientific community. Among the passengers were a former president of the International AIDS Society, Joep Lange, a well-known researcher from the Netherlands, and World Health Organization spokesman Glenn Thomas, based in Geneva. Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, when it crashed Thursday in eastern Ukraine. How many of the nearly 300 on board were headed to the conference wasn’t immediately known. The 20th International AIDS conference starts Sunday in the Victoria state capital of Melbourne. Thousands of scientists and activists are expected to attend to discuss the latest developments in HIV and AIDS research. The Academic Medical Center hospital in Amsterdam said in a statement that two of its staff, Lange and his colleague Jacqueline van Tongeren, were believed to have perished. “Joep was a man who knew no barriers,” the hospital said. “He was a great inspiration for everybody who wanted to do something about the AIDS tragedy in Africa and Asia.” Van Tongeren was head of communications at the Amsterdam Institute for Global Health and Development and had previously been an HIV-AIDS nurse, a University
SPRINGFIELD — “Summer is a big time for travel and you don’t want your pregnancy to slow you down any more than it has to,” said Dr. Katharine O. White, chief, General Obstetrics and Gynecology at Baystate Medical Center. Timing is everything said the Baystate ob-gyn. “Early on in your pregnancy it is normally safe to travel, as long as your doctor is aware of your plans and has placed no restrictions on your travel for medical reasons. Car, train, bus, airplane, they are all okay,” said Dr. White. “Be sure to take rest breaks when traveling by car so that you can get out in a safe area to stretch. Even if your body doesn’t feel cramped from being in the car, your bladder may tell you it’s time to stop,” she added. Dr. White noted that while blood clots are always a risk when pregnant, the risk can become greater when traveling by air. “On long flights, you will want to get up and walk up and down the aisle to get the blood circulating. Either standing next to your seat and going up and down on your toes, or exercising your calves by pointing your toes back and forth while sitting in your seat, can be helpful to keep the flood flowing,” she said. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the best time to travel is probably the middle of your pregnancy between weeks 14 and 28. Most common pregnancy emergencies usually happen in the first and third trimesters. After 28 weeks, it may be harder to move around or sit for long periods of time. “Later in your pregnancy, you may seriously want to consider not traveling far, especially if you are at risk of complications, in particular, pre-term delivery when you can end up in an unknown hospital,” said Dr. White. “So, if there is a need to travel later in your pregnancy, and your doctor says it is okay, be sure to bring along copies of your prenatal records just in case you need to seek medical attention. Your records will provide these doctors with much needed information – such as recent ultrasounds and lab work – so that they don’t have to guess about your prior care and conditions,” she added. Also, many airlines will not allow pregnant women to travel in the last month of pregnancy. “Check with your airline carrier for their policies should the need arise for emergency travel,” said Dr. White. Additional travel tips from ACOG include: When traveling by air – Book an aisle seat so that it is easy to get up; avoid gas producing foods and carbonated drinks before your flight; wear your seatbelt at all times, and it should be belted low on the hipbones, below your belly; if you are prone to nausea, your health care provider may be able to prescribe anti-nausea medication. When traveling by ship –Ask your health care provider about which medications are safe for you to carry along to calm seasickness. Seasickness bands are useful for some people, although there is little scientific evidence that they work. These bands use acupressure to help ward off an upset stomach. Another concern for cruise ship passengers is norovirus infection. Noroviruses are a group of viruses that can cause severe nausea and vomiting for one to two days. They are very contagious and can spread rapidly through cruise ships. People can become infected by eating food, drinking liquids, or touching surfaces that are contaminated with the virus. Before you book a cruise, you may want to check whether your ship has passed a health and safety inspection conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). When traveling out of the country – If you are planning a trip out of the county, your health care provider can help you to decide if travel outside the U.S. is safe for you and advise you about what steps to take before your trip. The CDC also is a good resource for travel alerts, safety tips, and up-to-date vaccination facts for many countries. While are you pregnant, you should not travel to areas where there is risk of malaria, including Africa, Central and South America, and Asia. Additional travel tips while out of the country – The safest water to drink is tap water that has been boiled for one minute (three minutes at altitudes higher than 6,000 feet). Bottled water is safer than unboiled tap water, but because there are no standards for bottled water, there is no guarantee that it is free of germs that can cause illness. Carbonated beverage and drinks made with boiled water are safe to drink. Do not put ice made from unboiled water in your drinks. Do no drink out of glasses that may have been washed in unboiled water. Avoid fresh fruits and vegetables, unless they have been cooked or if you have peeled them yourself. Do not eat raw or undercooked meat or fish. “Once you have a newborn at home, you won’t be getting out much. So, if you’re feeling up to it, take this time to travel to new places or to see family and friends. Have some fun before your family grows by one,” said Dr. White.

of Amsterdam statement said. Lange was the institute’s executive scientific director. Nobel laureate Dr. Francoise Barre-Sinoussi, co-discoverer of the AIDS virus and president of the International AIDS Society, paid tribute to Lange in a speech in the Australian capital, Canberra. The international society sponsors the AIDS conference “Joep was a wonderful person — a great professional ... but more than that, a wonderful human being,” she said. “If it is confirmed, it will be a terrible loss for all of us. I have no words, really, to try to express my sadness. I feel totally devastated.” She later told reporters the conference would continue out of respect for the lives lost: “Because we know that it’s really what they would like us to do.” Lange had been working on HIV since the earliest years of See AIDS Conference, Page 8

Obituaries James J. Curran WESTFIELD - James J. Curran, 82, passed away peacefully at Noble Hospital on July 19, 2014. He was born in Westfield to the late John P. and Eva (Hickey) Curran. He graduated from Westfield High School in 1949, from American International College in 1955 where he was President of his class, and received his Master’s Degree in Psychology from Springfield College. Jim was predeceased by his parents, his sister Anne M Smith, and his brother JohnCurran. He is survived by numerous cousins and close friends. Jim worked as a rehabilitation counselor in Hartford for the State of Connecticut and helped set-up halfway houses for drug dependent patients throughout New England. He was a member of the Westfield Rotary, We Remember James Dean International Fan Club, Princess Grace Foundation, Westfield, Hadley, Wilbraham and Fairmont Indiana Historical Societies, the Community Theatre Association. Jim did a lot of writing after his retirement. One of his plays, “They’re, Irish, They’re Catholic, They’re Guilty” won a proclamation of exonerationfrom Governor Dukakis for two men executed for a murder in 1805 that they did not commit. Jim’s funeral will be held on Thursday at 9:30 AM from the Firtion Adams Funeral Home, 76 Broad St. Westfield followed by a Liturgy of Christian Burial at 10:30 AM in St. Mary’s Church, 28 Bartlett St, Westfield. Rites of Committal will follow in St. Mary’s Cemetery, Westfield. Visiting hours will be held on Wednesday from 5-7 PM at the funeral home. Contributions in Jim’s name may be directed to the Noble Visiting Nurses and Hospice, 77 Mill Street, Westfield, MA 01085. www.firtionadams.com

the epidemic, participating in clinical trials and research across the world, Barre-Sinoussi said. He had dedicated his life, she said, to “the benefit of mankind.” Sharon Lewin, co-chair of the conference, called Lange a true renaissance man, who also had a keen interest in arts and literature. “He was passionate about his job and passionate about global health and improving people’s lives in low-income countries,” she said. WHO spokesman Glenn Thomas, who was en route to the conference, was also among the dead, said Christian Lindmeier, spokesman for WHO’s Western Pacific region. “Everybody’s devastated,” Lindmeier said. “It’s a real blow.” Also on board was Dutch activist Pim de Kuijer, once a political intern of former Dutch lawmaker Lousewies van der Laan. On Twitter, Van der Laan called him “a brilliant, inspiring and caring activist fighting for equality and helping AIDS victims around the world.” The Amsterdam advocacy group Bridging the Gaps said on its website that its program manager, Martine de Schutter, was among the victims. The International AIDS Society issued a statement Saturday confirming that Lucie van Mens was also on board. Van Mens worked for the Chicago-based Female Health Company, which makes female condoms. Robin Weiss, an emeritus professor at University College London, said Lange’s death was comparable to that of Jonathan Mann, who led WHO’s first AIDS department. Mann died when his flight to Geneva crashed off Nova Scotia in 1998. Weiss noted the AIDS community has grown much larger since then, lessening the impact of any one person’s death. “It’s a moment of great sadness, but I don’t think (Lange’s) loss alone sets us back in the fight against AIDS. The momentum to continue is still there,” he said. In a statement, Dr. Jennifer Cohn of Doctors Without Borders said the AIDS comCan You Help Sarah? munity would honor the loss by “re-doubling (their) commitment and efforts to address the HIV pandemic.” ——— Online: AIDS conference: http:// www.aids2014.org/ www.sarahgillett.org

the more basic issues around the education in the hilltowns. “We’d like to see – through this reorganization needs conference protocol – an in-depth look at what is appropriate for an education plan, sort of a visioning process for the district,” Mason said. “What can we do as a model for other districts? Because we know that a lot of other school districts are facing similar issues.” “We want to look at the basic concepts of education and how can education play a more effective role in the community, not just for students but for people of all ages,” he said. “How can we be more engaged, more engaging, and more relevant to things like career development? School-to-work programming, so that students can come out of school better prepared for real-life and actual jobs, not just the basic academics.” Mason and the committee realize that the schools are doing the best they can without a lot of community influences such as businesses. “GTAC is meeting almost as frequently as the school com-
mittee is, and we’d like to be invited to report and share GTAC business with the school committee at their meetings,” he said, adding GTAC will meet again on August 16. “That will be after the education plans will be submitted, and hopefully we’ll have some idea what DESE’s reponse is or is likely to be.” The committee is also planning to collaborate with the Jacob’s Ladder Business Association (JLBA) to host a legislative forum in October to invite legislators who represent the hilltowns and candidates for office. “We’re expecting that forum to have a dual theme – economic development and education. Obviously we’ll be addressing the Worthington withdrawal and the Gateway education issues, but also looking at the role that education plays in economic development,” Mason said. “How can we encourage more economic development in the hilltown area?” GTAC and JLBA hope to have a date set for the legislative forum within a week.
Gateway Superintendent’s Corner As difficult as it is to believe, by the time many read this column our summer break will be half over as staff return to school on August 26 and students return on August 28. Most school calendars are a throwback to agrarian times and don’t necessarily meet the needs of modern families.

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 newpapers 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.

school year is by using ‘blended’ learning, essentially providing some instruction using online lessons. This has many versions from a full time online education to one where students get their educational theory online and use face-toface time with the teacher to put that theory into practice (so-called flipped instruction). Gateway allows online courses, primarily for those students who wish to take subjects that we don’t offer, such as foreign languages other than Spanish, micro or macro economics, certain AP courses, and a wide range of other subjects for which only 1 or 2 students may be interested. What this provides is a nearly unlimited choice of subjects for our students, despite being a small and rural school district. It’s also been suggested that online learning could potentially be used to eliminate ‘snow days’ by allowing lessons to continue even without students being in school. This is certainly something that may become more prevalent (and eventually be allowed in all states) as Internet access becomes more ubiquitous and schools move to a true one to one computer status.
We’ve certainly seen similar changes in the workforce with some folks allowed to work from home, and even more expected to work electronically beyond the work day, most often without any additional pay. Should working from home via the Internet become more prevalent and accepted, it is reasonable to assume that the pressure to do the same in schools will increase. We can already see this movement in higher education where many students are receiving degrees without ever having to set foot on a brick and mortar campus; in some cases this has spread to high school. Even at the elementary level, we see some movement to a combination of seat time and online time. While this is not the solution to all problems, and may not be appropriate for many children (either because they’re not ready for this or there is insufficient supervision in the home because parents are working), it does beg the question of what primary and secondary education will look like in the next 20 to 30 years and how these changes will impact not only our schools, but our entire society.

Mikolas pitches Rangers past sloppy Yankees By HOWIE RUMBERG AP Sports Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Miles Mikolas didn’t need to look into the batter’s box to know who was stepping in with the bases loaded in the fifth inning. The roaring crowd said it all. Listening to more than 45,000 New York Yankees fans try to urge Derek Jeter to get one more big hit motivated the young right-hander. Mikolas got Jeter to ground into a double play, then pitched smoothly into the eighth inning Monday night to lead the Texas Rangers to a 4-2 victory. “That’s a big situation, a big jam to get out of,” Mikolas said. “It almost makes me as a pitcher want to compete a little harder, let the fans down.” Mikolas (1-2) slapped his glove and pumped his fist twice while letting out a shout of approval as he left the field. Then he retired his final seven batters. Mikolas’ mom, fiance, sister and stepdad led a group up from Florida to see him win for the first time since Aug. 21, 2012, with San Diego. Mikolas won twice in 25 relief appearances for the Padres that year. He’s had little success this season, coming in with a 10.05 ERA in three starts. “I think that really relaxed him,” Rangers manager Ron Washington said of the double play. Trailing by one with none on and two outs in the sixth, Texas got run-scoring singles from Geovany Soto, Rougned Odor and ShinSoo Choo to go ahead in only its third win in 17 July games.
Adrian Beltre drove in the Rangers’ first run with a fielder’s choice in the third inning on one of New York’s five errors — three by starting pitcher Shane Greene (2-1). “It was an ugly game on our part,” manager Joe Girardi said. Second baseman Brian Roberts and Jeter, the shortstop, made the other errors for the Yankees, who had not committed five in a nine-inning game since Aug. 20, 1998, against Minnesota. Mikolas yielded two runs, including Jacoby Ellsbury’s homer, and four hits in a careerhigh 7 1-3 innings to outlast Greene in a matchup of 25-year-old pitchers getting a shot because of injury-wrecked rotations. “I felt once he kind of got rolling, once he got some confidence, especially in an environment like this, you can get rolling,” Roberts said of Mikolas. Joakim Soria gave up a single to Kelly Johnson and plunked pinch-hitter Brian McCann with a pitch before getting Yangervis Solarte to fly out for his 17th save. Winners of only five of their last 25 games, the Rangers then broke through against Greene in his first appearance at Yankee Stadium. Soto struck out with runners on first and third in the second — they were there thanks to two poor throws to first base by Greene — but came through with the tying hit in the sixth, a single to left after Jake Smolinski singled and Jim Adduci walked. “He was still throwing the ball well,” Girardi said when asked why he left Greene in so long. “He gave up a broken-bat bloop hit over the third baseman’s glove. It’s not like
they were hitting him hard.” Matt Thornton relieved and gave up consecutive run-scoring hits to Odor and Choo. Playing the outfield for the first time since the All-Star break because of left ankle trouble, Choo snapped an 0-for-22 skid with a third-inning double. Green was charged with four runs and five hits in 5 2-3 innings. He had given up just two runs total in his first two career starts. Carlos Beltran put New York ahead with a sacrifice fly in the first after Jeter walked, advanced to second on a balk and third on Ellsbury’s single. Ellsbury homered leading off the fourth to give the Yankees a 2-1 lead. It was the seventh straight time he reached base after going 4 for 4 with a walk in a win over Cincinnati on Sunday. MARLINS 3, BRAVES 1, 10 innings ATLANTA (AP) — Garrett Jones drove in two runs with a bases-loaded single in the 10th inning, lifting the Marlins to a victory over the Braves. Christian Yelich led off the 10th with a single off Shae Simmons (1-2) and moved to second on Jordany Valdespin’s sacrifice bunt. Following an intentional walk to Giancarlo Stanton, Simmons walked Casey McGehee to load the bases. Jones broke a 1-1 tie with his grounder past Simmons into center field. Bryan Morris (7-0) stranded two runners in a scoreless ninth. Steve Cishek pitched a perfect 10th inning for his 22nd save. Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit his 10th homer for Miami in the fifth for a 1-1 tie that held until
the ninth. DODGERS 5, PIRATES 2 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Hyun-Jin Ryu pitched seven strong innings, Adrian Gonzalez reached base five times and the Dodgers beat the Pirates. Ryu (11-5) joined Zack Greinke and Clayton Kershaw in making the Dodgers the first team in the majors with three 11-game winners. The left-hander allowed two runs and five hits with a walk and five strikeouts. Justin Turner had two RBIs and scored twice for the Dodgers, who snapped Pittsburgh’s six-game home winning streak. Pirates starter Edinson Volquez (8-7) had won four straight starts, tying his career high. Los Angeles played without right fielder Yasiel Puig (left hand) and shortstop Hanley Ramirez (left wrist) after both were injured when they were hit by pitches last weekend in St. Louis. Puig and Ramirez had X-rays in Pittsburgh that came back negative Monday. GIANTS 7, PHILLIES 4 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Adam Duvall hit a two-run homer to spoil Cliff Lee’s return from the disabled list and the Giants beat the Phillies. Hunter Pence had three hits and two RBIs, Buster Posey drove in two runs and the Giants remained tied with the Los Angeles Dodgers for first place in the NL West. Giants starter Ryan Vogelsong gave up four runs — three earned — and 11 hits in threeplus innings. But San Francisco’s bullpen See MLB Roundup, Page 11

Ortiz homers twice, Red Sox clobber Blue Jays By IAN HARRISON Associated Press TORONTO (AP) — One day after promising he was “about to get hotter than Jamaica in the middle of August,” David Ortiz hit two towering home runs. They were the 452nd and 453rd of his career, moving Ortiz past Boston great Carl Yastrzemski into 36th place on the alltime list, and the Red Sox won their fifth straight game Monday night, routing the Toronto Blue Jays 14-1. “He’s always hit well in this ballpark and tonight was another example,” Red Sox manager John Farrell said of Ortiz, whose 35 career homers at Rogers Centre are second only to Alex Rodriguez’s 36. Ortiz matched Yastrzemski with a two-run blast to center off left-hander Brad Mills in the fourth, then broke the short-lived tie with another two-run shot off Mills in the fifth, his 21st and 22nd homers of the season. The slugger had little to say about his milestone homers, pushing past reporters by saying “Put it down like this: I’m on my way to Jamaica.” It was the third multihomer game of the season for Ortiz and the 44th of his career. Ortiz’s first homer ended his 0-for-18 skid against Toronto and an 0-for-11 slump overall. He went 1 for 13 in Boston’s weekend sweep of Kansas City. “He’s a Hall of Famer in my eyes,” said Mike Napoli, who followed Ortiz’s second shot with his 12th homer, the fourth time this season Boston has gone back-to-back. Stephen Drew added a three-run homer as the Red Sox connected a season-high four times and won for the eighth time in nine games. “We’re getting a good offensive approach over the last 10 games or so,” Farrell said. Dustin Pedroia was the only Boston starter without a hit as the Red Sox set season highs in runs and hits (18). Pedroia went 0 for 4 before being replaced and is hitless in 13 at-bats. John Lackey (11-6) allowed one run and two hits in seven innings to win his second straight start. Felix Doubront worked the eighth and Craig Breslow finished. “It was a fun night,” Lackey said. “It’s kind of fun to have these every now and then.” The Red Sox took the lead with two runs in the second and added four in the third, chasing Blue Jays right-hander Drew Hutchison. Boston blew it open with two more in the fourth and six in the fifth against Mills. “The best thing about it is it’s over with,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. Hutchison (6-9) matched a career-high with six earned runs, the second straight outing he allowed that many, and gave up a career-high nine hits in 2 2-3 innings, his shortest non-injury start. Hutchison, who lost for the first time in three outings against Boston, fell to 2-5 with a 7.71 ERA in eight home

starts. “He had tough time getting anything going with his breaking ball, spiked a lot of them,” Gibbons said. Boston’s Brock Holt made the defensive play of the game, leaping into the right field wall to retire Dan Johnson for the first out of the fifth. “This is a guy who’s been an infielder his entire life and what he’s done in the outfield has been pretty remarkable,” Farrell said of Holt, who came up from his highlight play with a huge smile. “That was a pretty fun catch for me,” Holt said. NOTES: Ted Williams holds the Red Sox record with 521 home runs, followed by Yastrzemski (452) and then Ortiz

combined for six scoreless innings. George Kontos (2-0) gave up one hit and struck out three in two innings in relief to earn the win. Santiago Casilla pitched the ninth for his sixth save in nine tries. Making his first start since May 18 because of an elbow injury, Lee (4-5) allowed six runs and 12 hits in 5 2-3 innings in this one. TWINS 4, INDIANS 3 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Josh Willingham’s tiebreaking home run in the eighth inning sent the Twins to a victory over the Indians. Kurt Suzuki had a two-run double among his three hits, Trevor Plouffe hit an RBI double and the Twins beat the Indians at home for the first time in more than 11 months. Suzuki, a first-time All-Star selection who was the catcher for the ninth inning of the American League’s victory here at Target Field last week, posted his ninth three-hit game this season. He raised his batting average to .311 and is 25 for 63 in his last 17 games. In another All-Star game reprise, Glen Perkins pitched a perfect ninth for his 23rd save in 26 chances. WHITE SOX 3, ROYALS 1 CHICAGO (AP) — Chris Sale pitched seven effective innings in his first outing since the All-Star break and Adam Dunn had two RBIs and scored a run to lead the White Sox to a victory over the slumping Royals. Sale (9-1) wasn’t at his best, allowing seven hits and a walk in seven innings, but he worked out of jams in the fourth and sixth innings. He struck out eight and now has allowed three runs or less in 14 of his 15 starts this season. Jake Petricka pitched the ninth for his fourth save. Dunn went 1-for-2 with a pair of walks as the White Sox for the fourth time in six games. Danny Valencia went 1-for-2 with a RBI for Kansas City, which has dropped four straight and seven of eight. Jeremy Guthrie (5-9) gave up three runs on five hits in six innings. BREWERS 5, REDS 2 MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee scored three runs on two misjudged balls in the outfield by Chris Heisey, and Wily Peralta pitched seven strong innings in the Brewers’ victory over the Reds. Ryan Braun hit a two-run double in the third on which Heisey took a couple of steps in before retreating as the high liner went over his head. The four-year veteran with 134 career starts in left field apparently lost Carlos Gomez’s high fly ball to the warning track in the fourth inning that turned into an RBI ground-rule double that made it 4-0. Peralta (11-6) allowed three hits, including Billy Hamilton’s solo homer. Francisco Rodriguez threw a 1-2-3 ninth for his 29th save. Cincinnati’s Mat Latos (2-2) gave up four earned runs and eight hits in seven innings. NATIONALS 7, ROCKIES 2 DENVER (AP) — Ian Desmond tied a career high with five hits, including a two-run homer, and Doug Fister threw effectively into the sixth to help the Nationals beat the sinking Rockies. The 6-foot-8 Fister (9-2) — all “elbows and knees” as Charlie Blackmon described him
— allowed nine hits before being pulled with two outs in the sixth after running into trouble. Desmond had four singles — including one off the arm of reliever LaTroy Hawkins in the ninth — to go with his 17th homer of the season. Franklin Morales (5-5) surrendered four runs — three earned — in six innings. Ben Paulsen had two hits and drove in a run in his major league debut for the Rockies, who’ve lost six straight. TIGERS 4, DIAMONDBACKS 3 PHOENIX (AP) — Torii Hunter and Austin Jackson homered, Justin Verlander moved into third place on Detroit’s career strikeout list and the Tigers opened their interleague series in Arizona by beating the Diamondbacks. Miguel Cabrera drove in the go-ahead run in the seventh inning with a booming single just below the home run line on the Chase Field porch in left-center. Hunter had a two-run homer in the second, his fifth in the last 15 games. Jackson added a solo shot. Both were off starter Vidal Nuno (0-2). Verlander (9-8) allowed three runs and six hits in 6 2-3 innings to win for the third time in his last four starts. He struck out five to pass Hal Newhouser on the Tigers’ all-time strikeout list (1,772). Joe Nathan pitched a scoreless ninth for his 20th save in 25 opportunities. Gerardo Parra homered for Arizona. MARINERS 5, METS 2 SEATTLE (AP) — Kyle Seager drove in two runs, Mike Zunino homered into the second deck at Safeco Field and Dustin Ackley stole a home run with a leaping catch at the wall in the Mariners’ win over the Mets. After losing two of three to the Angels after the All-Star break, Seattle got a solid start from Roenis Elias and improved to 8-2 alltime against the Mets. Elias (8-8) threw 5 1-3 innings before leaving with cramping in his left forearm. Seattle’s bullpen was stellar the rest of the way, helped by Ackley’s outstanding grab to rob Travis d’Arnaud of a home run in the sixth. Seager had RBIs singles in his first two atbats and Zunino hit his 14th homer of the season, an estimated 415-foot shot off starter Jonathon Niese (5-5) into the second deck in left field. ORIOLES 4, ANGELS 2 ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Adam Jones hit a pair of two-run homers, including a tiebreaking shot in the sixth inning, and the Orioles beat the Angels. Bud Norris (8-6) won for the fifth time in his last six starts, allowing two runs — one earned — and eight hits over 6 2-3 innings with eight strikeouts and two walks. The Orioles increased their AL East lead to four games over the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays. Norris was recalled from Double-A Bowie, where he was optioned on July 10 in order to keep him on his regular routine during the AllStar break. The Orioles did the same thing with Tuesday’s scheduled starter, Miguel Gonzalez, who was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on July 11. Zach Britton pitched a perfect ninth for his 17th save.

they made a statement against East Springfield, go up to Pittsfield and get a real convincing win, and then come home and have the attitude that they weren’t going to lose this one.” Westfield established an early 1-0 lead in the first inning. Dunn and Riga singled to lead off the home half of the first inning. Dunn advanced to third base on a Rob Sullivan fly out to center field, and scored on Houle’s sac-fly. Pittsfield knotted the game 1-all in the fourth inning on an RBI single from Joe Dewey. It was the only run Plasse, the starter, allowed in
five innings. He scattered five hits, struck out three batters and walked one before being removed due to a rule that allows American Legion Baseball pitchers to pitch 12 innings in three straight days. Houle (3 Ks) pitched two scoreless, hitless innings to pick up the save. He was helped out by his defense in the sixth inning. After walking two of the first three batters he faced to begin the sixth, Westfield turned a 9-6-5 inning-ending double play. Sam Blake caught a fly ball in right field, and fired it to the shortstop, Dunn, who in turn, whipped it to third baseman Matt Irzyk.
Irzyk tagged out Mitch Clary, who attempted to take third base after tagging up on the fly out. Post 124 also turned a 6-4-3 inning-ending double play in the second inning. “You have to do the small things to win these ball games,” Dunn said. “Everything was going right for us. Every one of us from 1-9 wanted to do whatever we could to win. Everyone wanted the ball to go to them.” Westfield next takes on Greenfield in the best-of-3 sectionals championship, beginning Tuesday night at Bullens Field at 7.

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Frustrated Mom Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 30 years. We have four wonderful children, all college graduates with great jobs in their chosen careers. They are also involved in long-term relationships with people we like and respect. So what’s the problem? One of my daughters is at least 40 pounds overweight and doesn’t seem to be doing anything about it. No one else in our family has a weight problem. We have always led an active lifestyle and encouraged healthy eating habits. We first noticed our daughter’s weight gain when we visited her at college. Her roommates were overweight, and she said they all ate when they were stressed. She seems to have continued with those bad habits. Whenever I try to discuss this with her, she shuts me down and says she doesn’t want to talk about it. Her boyfriend is also overweight, so I’m sure that doesn’t help. I worry that if she doesn’t get a handle on this while she’s young, it will become more difficult as she gets older. Do you have any suggestions that will help me encourage her to lose weight? -- Frustrated Mom Dear Mom: Your daughter knows she is overweight and probably doesn’t like it any more than you do. But losing weight is difficult, and she must be motivated. Since her college friends and her boyfriend also have weight issues, she may have come to see her size as acceptable, and her eating habits also reflect the way she has been living for the past few years. We know how hard it is for you to see your daughter struggle with something that will have an impact on her health, but she is an adult, and this is a do-it-yourself project. Just tell her you love her and want her to be healthy, and hope that she will do the rest on her own. Dear Annie: Thank you for reprinting the list of symptoms of colon cancer. Could you add this one: extreme fatigue? My husband noticed none of the symptoms listed. But when he became so tired after getting dressed in the morning that he had to lie down and rest, I finally got him to see a doctor. The fatigue was caused by internal bleeding from a tumor in his colon. He needed a blood transfusion and surgery. With chemo, he survived his stage-three colon cancer and has been cancer-free for seven years. I won’t comment on men who refuse to see a doctor regularly, but I’m sure you get the picture. -- Vermont Dear Vermont: Thank you for the additional information. The problem with many symptoms is that they are vague. Things like fatigue can fall into many categories, some serious, some not, and both doctors and patients tend to dismiss them until they are advanced enough to be of concern. This is why it is so important for each of us to be an advocate for our own health. Dear Annie: I would like to respond to “Disgusted in N.Y.,” who said that her 85-year-old aunt never received a bath by the staff while in the hospital for six weeks. I also ran into this problem with my 95-year-old father. When he was hospitalized, he went more than three months without a bath. However, it was not the fault of the nurses or anyone else. My father absolutely refused to be bathed. When I approached the staff about this, they said it was his right to refuse. He is extremely private and would not allow anyone to give him any care that he felt impinged on his dignity. A patient of sound mind has the right to refuse treatment. I’m not saying neglect doesn’t happen in some facilities. But before you judge, find out the whole story and carefully question the patient alone and in front of the health professional. -- A Daughter in Florida Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net.
HINTS FROM HELOISE An Update on Closed Captioning Dear Heloise: In a recent column, a reader mentioned a CLOSEDCAPTIONING feature, and you commented, “Some TVs do not have this feature.” I want all of your readers to know that closed captioning is required by law on all TVs over 13 inches, and on all digital cable boxes. It may not be as easy to set up as simply pressing the mute button, but it may come in handy for some people. Refer to the instruction manuals. Also, you can leave the sound up while the captions are going. -- Karen D. in Nebraska Karen, thanks for the update. Please say “Hi” to my friends at your paper, the Omaha World-Herald. All analog TVs 13 inches or larger are required by the government (since 1993) to have closed captioning. All digital television receivers also are required (since 2002) to have it. But for those with older TVs (as many of us have!), maybe it’s time for a new one! -- Heloise WREATH BASE Dear Heloise: After the kids were a little rambunctious in the pool, I was left with a couple of broken pool noodles. I use them as a base for wreaths. You can attach items or specific things to create a holiday theme, and you are recycling! -Michelle P. in Florida SHOWER-CURTAIN SAVING Dear Heloise: The holes on my shower curtain and liner wore out while the curtain was still good. I came up with a solution. Duct tape comes in so many colors and patterns. I found one I liked and used it over the top of the shower curtain. The holes don’t wear out as fast. -- Y.T., via email

DOG EAT DOUG
Brian Anderson
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, July 22, 2014: This year you take a bold step forward to go after what you want. Your focus on your goals will be instrumental to your success and happiness in the coming months. Your immediate circle of friends expands. If you are single, you could meet someone through a new friend. In any case, friendship could be involved with a new love affair. If you are attached, the two of you have quite a good time together. Often you act like newlyweds. Taking plenty of time alone together as a couple will prove to be beneficial. GEMINI is a loyal friend.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Initial confusion is likely to subside once you look at an issue as a control game or a power play. You will know exactly what to do and why you need to proceed in this direction. A friend or loved one’s mental or physical fatigue might be irritating. Tonight: Love the moment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You might be evaluating the importance of continuing as you have been. A problem involving your family could arise. A purchase might be necessary, and it could force you to wait on a matter you have been pursuing. Tonight: Take a hard look at your budget. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You will be heard, whether you are debating the pros and cons of an emotional situation or making plans for the weekend. Your sense of direction could be thrown off-kilter, but not for long. Schedule a meeting or make time for a discussion. Tonight: Hang out with friends. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Take a back seat for the moment. You will want to take action, but only after you feel as though you have a complete understanding of what is going on. You also might not have as firm a grasp on a money matter as you think you do. Tonight: Keep it relaxing. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Listen to news with a touch of cynicism, and you will be just fine. Go with the flow, and everything will fall right into place. A long-distance call could change your pace and your thoughts. Take another look at what is going on now. Tonight: Where your friends are. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Others might not intend to drop the ball, but that is what happens. You could feel out of sorts when dealing with a new love interest. Logic will not work here. A partnership will be instrumental in making this situation work. Tonight: Say “thank you” over dinner. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Reach out for more information. Someone you count on could present an alternative perspective. Do not make any snap judgments -- just listen. Something unexpected could throw you off. Tonight: No matter what you do, make sure there is great music around you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Deal with someone directly. You might not be as comfortable with this person as you would like. Tension is likely to build when a project takes an unexpected turn. You might not know what to do. Just step back and observe for now. Tonight: Visit with a favorite person. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Defer to others, as you might have an exciting detour in your plans. Use caution with money, especially if someone tries to manipulate you into his or her type of thinking. A loved one could be delightful yet distracting. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.” CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Pace yourself, as you could have more to do than you originally might have anticipated. A domestic matter is likely to cause some upset. Don’t worry -- you will handle it well. Use care when dealing with a grumpy friend. Tonight: Run errands first. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Your playfulness will emerge. Your easygoing attitude could be distressing to someone who is determined to have a situation work a certain way. Laughter will surround an interaction involving a grumpy person. Tonight: Add more spice to a relationship.
Cryptoquip
Crosswords
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You could be happier than you thought possible when you walk away from a controlling friend. Try to open up more, as you might be keeping a lot to yourself. Use good sense with a money matter. A return call could take too long for your taste. Tonight: At home.

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