Morse conviction overturned by SJC By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A city man, found guilty of two of eight charges stemming from a fatal boating accident on Norwich Lake in 2010, saw his convictions reduced to one recently when the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court considered his appeal and overturned his felony conviction for misleading police while affirming his conviction for misdemeanor homicide. Steven J. Morse, 41, of 65 Deborah Lane, had faced eight charges after a collision between a power boat he was driving while pulling water skiers on the lake and a kayak in which a Ludlow man and his 10-year-old son were fishing. The man, James Adamopoulos, survived his injuries but his son, Gus, perished. Morse has contended that he was blinded by the glare of the setting sun on the lake while the prosecution maintained that he had been operating the boat while impaired by alcohol and marijuana. State police investigating the crash determined that Morse had consumed two beers after work before he went to the lake and he told them that he had consumed two beers on the shore, after his initial recreational sortie on the water with his children and before he went back out to drive a friend’s water skiing boat. His conviction on the charge of misleading police stems from his response when a trooper asked him whether he had “consume[d] any other, you know, substances that could’ve impaired [his] ability to, you know, be aware of what was going on around [him].” Morse replied “no” and the prosecution maintains that because of his answer troopers did not seek a warrant to test for marijuana in his system or for other evidence that marijuana might have affected his operation of the boat. He was later found to have smoked one See Morse, Page 8

Councilors call for special meeting

She attributed the increase in prices to a required equity in pricing imposed by the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act. “(The act) mandated that if you get a free lunch program, you have subsequently increase your regular meal plans,” she said. “We’re still way below average, even at $2.30. We’ve got districts that have started before us that are already up to $2.50 for elementary, and then for the middle and high schools, they’re up to $3.” Petrola said that the act, signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2010, gives schools five years to reach a $2.65 minimum price, which is used to offset the cost of free and reduced meals, and that she would like to see the district increase in slow increments. “There is a timeline that we have to meet this,” she said, prompting committee member Cindy Sullivan to add that the district could be

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Three City Council members have submitted a petition to conduct a special meeting on the proposed 2015 fiscal year budget Thursday before the regular meeting is called to order. At-large Councilors David A. Flaherty and Dan Allie and Ward 4 Councilor Mary O’Connell submitted the petition under City Charter and Council Rules Section 2-37 which allows a group of no less than three (3) City Council members to call their own meeting. The meeting was posted on the city’s website for 6 p.m. on June 19th for the purpose of presenting the proposed budget to attendees and then to conduct a hearing to allow public comment. The meeting can be held only if there is a quorum of seven City Council members present, which in the case of Thursday when two council members will be absent, means that seven of the remaining 11 members have to be present. Flaherty and O’Connell have called for special meetings in the past, requesting a special meeting on October of 2012 to fill the Ward 2 seat vacated by James Brown Jr., who resigned. O’Connell filed that special meeting petition, joined by Flaherty and At-large Councilor Agma Sweeney for a special meeting on three separate nights, including Thursday before a regular meeting of the City Council, and failed to attain the quorum required to open the special meeting. “That’s the risk they take,” said Finance Chairman Christopher Keefe, who last week concluded an intense review of the major departmental cost centers in the FY 2015 budget, this morning. “There is no guarantee that you will get a quorum.” Keefe said that the Finance Committee will present the budget, as amended Wednesday by a Committee of the Whole at which all councilor members can make motions to cut spending, and requested the council members to suspend the rules to allow two separate votes on the budget. If any council member objects to suspending the rules, as Flaherty has done in the past, the council may not have sufficient time to call another meeting 10 days later to vote on the amended budget. If a second reading and final passage vote is not taken, the budget as submitted by Mayor Daniel M. Knapik goes into effect, by default, on July 1, the first day of the new fiscal year. “This is not unexpected” said Councilor Flaherty said in a prepared release sent to media outlets yesterday. “Nobody has been willing to admit that we have a spending problem, and nobody has been willing to do what it takes to live within our means. “Last year we had problems, this year bigger problems, and next year even bigger problems,” Flaherty said. “That’s what happens when you spend more than you can possible take in. This year’s city spending is going up over 3 percent.” “The math just doesn’t work when property

Westfield School lunch prices to increase By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A late dinner is usually the most discussed meal at Westfield School Committee meetings, but school lunches were a hot topic last night, as the school committee approved a small hike in the cost of those meals this fall. The motion increased elementary school lunches from $2.20 to $2.30, while middle and high school lunches will go from $2.35 to $2.45. Adult lunches will see an increase from $3.40 to $3.75, while the respective breakfast and reduced breakfast prices of $1 and 20 cents will see no changes. “The adult lunch would be going up 12 cents, and the rest of it is a sales tax that they have to pay on an adult meal,” said Susan Petrola, the district’s supervisor of cafeterias.

Westfield Voc-Tech adds science requirement

By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The science requirement credits needed to graduate from Westfield Vocational Technical High School has been bumped from 22 to 32. The changes, accepted last night at a meeting of the Westfield School Committee, are related to the number of science credits required for students, regardless of their program or shop. These new requirements will start in the fall when the class of 2018 begins their freshmen year at the school. “Basically, we were at two. We went to two and a half (credits per class). That’s the only real adjust-

ment that we made,” said WVTHS Principal Stefan Czaporowski. “We want to make sure that our kids are taking more science classes, to keep up with the MassCore and what the Commonwealth of Massachusetts recommends.” Czaporowski added that his students already take on a four-year course load in other subjects, so the additional science credits only made sense. “We already have four years of English, four years of math, so now they’re going to have three years of science and three years of social studies,” he said. “It’s kind of already happening,” he said. “It’s not like we have a ton of electives, so kids that are looking to fill (a schedule) and take classes senior year

end up taking a science anyway. So now we’re just giving them the credit for it.” At last night’s meeting, Czaporowski also took the opportunity to highlight the accomplishments of Megan Ilnicky, the school’s valedictorian for the the class of 2014. Ilnicky, who will be attending Western New England University this fall, was unable to attend last night’s meeting due to a work commitment with United Technologies. Czaporowski said that is a testament to the quality of student coming out of WVTHS. “We fill a void,” he said. “There are jobs out there and they hire our kids.”

Deputy: Florida man hid drugs under ‘stomach fat’ DELTONA, Fla. (AP) — A central Florida man who weighs about 450 pounds faces multiple charges after sheriff’s deputies say he hid cocaine and 23 grams of marijuana under his “stomach fat.” According to a new release, a Volusia County sheriff’s deputy stopped a vehicle Friday after noticing that the passenger wasn’t wearing a seatbelt. Officials say 42-year-old Christopher Mitchell told the deputy that he’s too big to wear a seatbelt. The deputy says he requested a drug-detecting dog because Mitchell and the driver appeared nervous. The dog detected the presence of drugs in the vehicle. In addition to the drugs on Mitchell, deputies say they also found a handgun and $7,000 in cash in the vehicle. Mitchell and the driver were arrested. It was not clear whether Mitchell has an attorney.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Tuesday, June 17, the 168th day of 2014. There are 197 days left in the year.

n June 17, 1789, during the French Revolution, the Third Estate declared itself a national assembly, and undertook to frame a constitution. (This gathering gave rise to the political terms “left wing” and “right wing,” with deputies representing commoners sitting to the left of the assembly president, and nobles sitting to the right.)

On this date:

19.) In 1961, Soviet ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev defected to the West while his troupe was in Paris. In 1972, President Richard M. Nixon’s eventual downfall began with the arrest of five burglars inside Democratic national headquarters in Washington, D.C.’s Watergate complex.

In 1397, the Treaty of Kalmar was signed, creating a union between the kingdoms of Sweden, Denmark and Norway.

In 1987, Charles Glass, a journalist on leave from ABC News, was kidnapped in Lebanon. (Glass escaped his captors in August 1987.)

In 1775, the Revolutionary War Battle of Bunker Hill resulted in a costly victory for the British, who suffered heavy losses.

In 1992, President George H.W. Bush and Russian President Boris Yeltsin signed a breakthrough armsreduction agreement.

In 1885, the Statue of Liberty arrived in New York Harbor aboard the French ship Isere (ee-SEHR’).

In 1994, after leading police on a slow-speed chase on Southern California freeways, O.J. Simpson was arrested and charged with murder in the slayings of his ex-wife, Nicole, and her friend, Ronald Goldman. (Simpson was later acquitted in a criminal trial, but held liable in a civil trial.)

In 1928, Amelia Earhart embarked on a trans-Atlantic flight from Newfoundland to Wales with pilots Wilmer Stultz and Louis Gordon, becoming the first woman to make the trip as a passenger. In 1930, President Herbert Hoover signed the SmootHawley Tariff Act, which boosted U.S. tariffs to historically high levels, prompting foreign retaliation. In 1944, the Republic of Iceland was established. In 1953, U.S. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas stayed the execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, originally set for the next day, the couple’s 14th wedding anniversary. (They were put to death June

Ten years ago:

A bipartisan report found that officials, blindsided by terrorists and beset by poor communications, were so slow to react on Sept. 11, 2001, that the last of four hijacked planes had crashed by the time Vice President Dick Cheney ordered hostile aircraft shot down. President George W. Bush disputed the Sept. 11 commission’s finding that Saddam Hussein had no strong ties to al-Qaida. A sport utility vehicle packed with artillery shells slammed into a crowd waiting to volunteer for the Iraqi military, killing 35 people.

Five years ago:

President Barack Obama extended some benefits to same-sex partners of federal employees. Nevada Sen. John Ensign resigned from the GOP leadership a day after admitting an affair with a former campaign staffer. John Houghtaling, the inventor of the Magic Fingers Vibrating Bed for hotels, died in Fort Pierce, Florida, at age 92.

One year ago:

A G-8 summit of wealthy nations opened in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland, under a cloud, with Russian President Vladimir Putin defiantly rejecting calls from the U.S., Britain and France to halt his political and military support for Syrian leader Bashar Assad’s regime. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that states can’t demand proof of citizenship from people registering to vote in federal elections unless they get federal or court approval to do so.

Democrats hit campaign trail By BOB SALSBERG Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Democratic gubernatorial candidate Don Berwick said yesterday he was confident he would make himself better known to primary voters in the coming months and dismissed attempts to frame the race as one between Attorney General Martha Coakley and state Treasurer Steven Grossman. Berwick, a pediatrician and former federal health care administrator, qualified for the Sept. 9 primary ballot after finishing third at the state Democratic convention on Saturday. He almost edged out Coakley for second place among the nearly 4,400 delegates who voted. Grossman, who won the convention endorsement, and Coakley both kicked off statewide campaign swings yesterday. While Berwick, a first-time candidate, made inroads with many liberal party activists, recent polls suggest he remains largely unknown to the much wider state audience. For example, a Suffolk University/Boston Herald poll released before the convention found nearly 60 percent of 800 likely Democratic voters surveyed had never heard of Berwick and few had formed an opinion about him. “Getting name recognition is what a campaign is all about,” Berwick said in a conference call. He predicted voters would be receptive to his agenda, which includes a call for a singlepayer “Medicare for All” health care system and repeal of the state’s casino gambling law. While saying he would have sufficient financial resources for his campaign, Berwick did not say whether he planned statewide TV ads that could be critical to getting prospective voters’ attention during the summer months. Berwick had about $229,000 in his campaign account at the end of May, compared with $910,000 for Grossman and $528,000 for Coakley, according to state records. Grossman touted his convention victory over Coakley in a statement yesterday that ignored Berwick. “The people of Massachusetts have a clear choice this fall: Do you want a progressive job creator or a career prosecutor as your next governor?” asked Grossman, who headed his family’s business, Massachusetts Envelope Co., for several decades before being elected state treasurer in 2010. Berwick dismissed as “spin” Grossman’s apparent strategy of framing the campaign as a two-person race. “It is a two-way race,” Berwick said. “It’s a race between boldness and timidity.” Coakley visited with fast-food industry workers in Boston’s Dorchester neighborhood yesterday, pledging her support for the workers who are seeking to unionize and pushing for a minimum $15 per hour wage. “I look forward to meeting with

folks across the Commonwealth in the coming weeks to hear their concerns and discuss how we can provide all of our workers and families with the opportunity to succeed,” she said in a statement. Coakley has held large leads in early polling of likely Democratic voters over Grossman, who began what his campaign called the “One Commonwealth” tour with stops at a career center in Salem and a Taunton organization that assists first-time homebuyers and tenants. Two other candidates, Juliette Kayyem and Joseph Avellone, failed to get at least 15 percent of the convention vote, so their names will not appear on the September ballot. Charlie Baker and Mark Fisher will compete in the Republican primary.

Special Meeting Continued from Page 1 tax revenue is limited by Prop 2 1/2, and the state local aid numbers are flat,” Flaherty said. “We’ve know this for a while, yet the city keeps agreeing to labor and benefit increases that exceed our ability to pay for them. We need to slow the grown rate in spending.” Flaherty’s release also encouraged members of the public to attend the 6 p.m. session Thursday. “These three City Councilors are asking the public to attend the meeting to express their concerns about tax increases, and to speak about the proposed budget,” Flaherty said. “Discussions about specific line-item budget cuts are encouraged since that is the only way councilors can reduce the budget and ultimately the tax rates. Longer term issues such as department reorganization, or teaming arrangements with neighboring communities, are issues that cannot possibly be addressed in one night. The City Council is expected to vote on the budget later Thursday evening. The entire budget is available for public viewing on the city website.”

Suspensions Continued from Page 1 In that sting two persons under the age of 21 were sent into the store without identification and were able to purchase a six-pack of beer, exiting the store and delivering the beer to a waiting police officer. The violation is the third to have occurred in the past year and all were the result of a sting conducted by the police. The committee suspended the store’s license to sell alcohol in the past, but held six days in abeyance. The commission’s decision to impose an additional suspension was complicated by the fact that the state Alcoholic Beverage Commission also netted the store in a sting operation, with its violation hearing slated for August. Another complication is that the store owners also requested to be allowed to continue their check-cashing business during the suspension of the package store license, a request which needs the review and approval of the ABCC. The owners will be required to physically segregate that check-cashing area from the alcohol sales area. The Commission voted to impose two three-day

suspensions on July 7, 8 and 9 and again on July 14, 15 and 16. The Commission also found that Paddy’s Irish Bar and Grill was in violation of ABCC regulations when a staff member severely beat an intoxicated patron, sending the victim to the Baystate Medical Center. According to a witness the employee, the shift manager, was “throwing the victim around like a rag doll” causing serious bodily injury. The employee was arrested on charges of assault and battery with serious bodily harm. The restaurant owners relieved the employee of his duties in Westfield, although he remains an employee at a Springfield restaurant, and ordered the employee to seek anger management and other counseling. The commission imposed a six-day suspension that will be kept in abeyance for a year and ordered the pub owners to post the local commission’s regulation, which prohibit putting hands on a patron except in self defense. The commission also ordered that the owners conduct further employee training.

Panel advances parole bill for juvenile lifers BOSTON (AP) — A legislative panel has advanced a bill that would allow juveniles convicted of first-degree murder to be eligible for parole. Under the measure approved by the Judiciary Committee, a person convicted of first-degree murder between their 14th and 18th birthdays could be parole eligible after serving 20 to 25 years in prison. For crimes judged to involve deliberate premeditated malice or extreme atrocity or cruelty, the wait would be 25 to 30 years. The state’s highest court has ruled that sentencing juveniles to life in prison without the possibility of parole is unconstitutional. The bill must still clear the full House and Senate. Several relatives of murder victims came to the Statehouse last month to support a proposal that would require juveniles convicted of first-degree murder to serve at least 35 years.

450-pound boulder pins man in Greenfield river GREENFIELD, Mass. (AP) — Rescuers worked for longer than an hour to free a man who became pinned under an estimated 450-pound boulder in the Green River in Greenfield. The man in his 30s was flown to Baystate Medical Center in Springfield after he was freed at about 5:30 p.m. Monday. His name was not released. Fire Capt. Kyle Phelps says the man was fishing when he slipped about 10 feet into the water, dislodging several large rocks, one of which pinned his hips in about two feet of water. While his lower torso was under water, his chest and head remained above water. With the water temperature in the mid-60s, rescuers became concerned about hypothermia. Rescuers used airbags and hydraulic equipment to lift the rock and free the man.

Meeks blasts McCain, media on Iraq collapse By Jonathan Topaz Politico.com Rep. Gregory Meeks is taking on Sen. John McCain, saying the media should stop seeking advice from the senator on Iraq because of his track record on foreign policy. MSNBC host Chris Hayes on Monday evening asked Meeks if he was getting a lot of media requests to discuss the deteriorating situation in Iraq, given that the congressman made a “tough vote” by voting against the 2002 authorization to invade Iraq. The New York Democrat said he hadn’t. “Which amazes me why, each and every time, they go right to John McCain,” said Meeks, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “And I don’t know when John McCain has had it right,” he added. “Thank God the American people were smart enough not to elect him president of the United States [in 2008]. Because we would be in war almost in every place around the continent right now. So, why does the news media go to John McCain to ask him anytime there’s anything happening, because you know he’s going to be: ‘Go to war. Send troops.’” McCain has been outspoken since Sunni militants from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria began a campaign to take much of the northern and central part of Iraq. The Arizona Republican, a supporter of the invasion in 2002 and of the troop surge in 2007, said the U.S. “had the war won” before President Barack Obama withdrew troops in 2011. McCain has called for the president to fire his entire national security team, including Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey. He has also harshly criticized the Obama administration for imperiling the situation in Iraq by calling for a full withdrawal and said the president should have retained a residual force there. But Meeks, who also voted against the troop surge in former President George W. Bush’s second term, said Iraqi President Nouri al-Maliki refused a residual force of U.S. troops in 2011. “We tried to keep a force behind, but the Iraqis of Maliki said, ‘Out!’ And so, therefore, we complied,” Meeks said on MSNBC over the weekend. “I don’t know what has gone on with Sen. McCain, but if we listened to him, we’d be in conflict all over the world. He should just focus on something else.” The congressman, in that same interview, also said of potential airstrikes in Iraq: “I don’t think we take if off the table, but I don’t think we do it now.” Meeks warned that, by using airstrikes, the U.S. could run the risk of exacerbating what could become a regional conflict involving Turkey, Syria and Russia.

Study sheds light on manufacturing’s future By Andre Mayer Aimnet.org The Massachusetts tradition of small and medium-size manufacturing enterprises scattered across a typical New England landscape has a future - if challenges such as workforce availability, regulation, and access to new markets are met. An extensive study and survey of industries in the state’s North Central region, conducted by RTI International and the Massachusetts Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MassMEP) in association with AIM and other organizations as part of the Collaborative Communities Manufacturing Growth Initiative for the region, highlights both the capabilities of our manufacturing sector and the potential barriers to its continued success. The North Central region, comprising 15 cities and towns in the Fitchburg-Leominster area, is nominally rural; the study was funded by a U.S. Department of Agriculture competitive grant program “to promote sustainable economic development in rural communities.” But it also has the highest proportion of manufacturing employment in the Commonwealth, at 19.7%, with concentrations of metal fabrication, machining, and plastics molding. There is less tech industry than in eastern Massachusetts and less food preparation than western regions, but the long-term erosion of manufacturing employment fits the statewide pattern. The area’s population is older than average. The survey provides a foundation for Phase II of the initiative, Technology-Driven Market Intelligence (TDMI), an approach based on NASA technology transfer work adapted to small and medium enterprise (SME) manufacturers. The focus will be on four advanced manufacturing subsectors prevalent in the region (Chemicals & Plastics, Fabricated Metal Products & Machining, Computer & Electronic Products, Paper & Printing), matching their manufacturing capabilities with market opportunities. For example, new opportunities for the region’s long-established tool and mold industries arise from

changes in the automotive industry and from the introduction of fracking and of 3-D printing. The most important barriers to growth for manufacturing, as identified by the survey, are workforce (number one by far), regulatory constraints, and access to new market opportunities. Workforce issues include, among others, lack of advanced skills such as machining, disinclination of young people to enter manufacturing, and competition for workers from larger companies and metropolitan areas. Regulatory concerns cover a range from employer mandates to export licensing to tax structure. Marketing challenges arise from the decline of existing “clusters” and disruption of established supply chains. Technology is a prominent concern for some firms and industries. The overall goal of the initiative is to establish a “collaborative manufacturing community” that will enable sustained growth in the region. Employers are looking for improved outreach and information about service offerings, with advice and services tailored to company needs (and especially to small businesses). Workforce services, they believe, should include not only training, but also a placement clearinghouse to fill critical positions. Progress in that direction will depend upon enhanced collaboration among both service providers, through a “steering committee” of statewide and regional organizations, and employers, for example by means of a CEO roundtable group (perhaps using AIM’s CEO Connection as a platform). AIM is pleased to have been involved in this study, and that its results recognize our ongoing work; we look forward to continuing our engagement in later phases of the undertaking. We note that the economic development legislation that recently passed the House includes funding for similar initiatives in western and southeastern Massachusetts. Beyond their specific regional value, studies such as this are of particular interest to AIM as we prepare a Blueprint for the Next Century in preparation for our centennial next year.

By Jonathan Topaz Politico.com Former presidential envoy to Iraq Paul Bremer on Monday said the U.S. might need some troops on the ground there to coordinate airstrikes and intelligence. “I’m not in favor of sending combat forces into Iraq at the moment,” he said on MSNBC, “but I can well imagine that we would have to have some troops on the ground.” Bremer, former President George W. Bush’s top civilian administrator in Iraq during the early stages of the Iraq War, said President Barack Obama should not have committed to not putting troops on the ground. The recent mobilization of Sunni militants from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria poses not just a threat to Iraq, but to the region and the U.S., as well, he said. “So, if our interests are that broad,” Bremer continued, “we should not be ruling things out.” Obama, speaking on Friday at the White House, said he would not send U.S. troops back into combat in Iraq. Bremer said that U.S. forces would likely be necessary in collecting intelligence and targeting for manned airstrikes and drones. The former diplomat published an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal on Monday, titled, “Only America Can Prevent a Disaster in Iraq.” In the opinion piece, Bremer criticized President Barack Obama for his 2011 withdrawal from Iraq, saying that the U.S. lost considerable political influence over Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and left behind an unprepared Iraqi military. “Only the Americans can help the Iraqis broker across these sectarian and ethnic lines,” he said on MSNBC. “There is nobody else who can do it.” Bremer also spoke out against the potential partition of Iraq into three regions based on ethnic lines, a proposal outlined by then-Sen. Joe Biden in 2006. Some lawmakers have returned to the proposal recently given the sectarian violence in Iraq. But Bremer disagreed, saying the prospect of an independent Kurdistan would draw the Kurdish populations in Iran and Turkey into the conflict. “Dividing Iraq up as a policy involves the provocation of a regional war — basically, an Iraqi civil war becoming a regional war. It’s a very bad outcome,” he said. The interview turned tense at times as some on “Morning

Joe” pressed the issue of the original Bush administration invasion in Iraq. When co-host Thomas Roberts suggested that the administration imposed democracy on the Iraqis with the toppling of Saddam Hussein, Bremer responded: “We did not impose democracy on the Iraqis. The Iraqis lusted to choose their own government.” Later in the program, Senate Foreign Relations Committee member John Barrasso said he agreed with Obama that the U.S. should not have troops on the ground in Iraq. “We should not put boots on the ground there,” the Wyoming Republican said. “The fundamental interest of the United States is protecting an area that right now, you have this Islamic state developing, both in Iraq and Syria. And that is the threat to our homeland.” Barrasso added, though, that the administration’s decision to withdraw from Iraq created a security “vacuum” that has contributed to the current deteriorating situation in the country. Secretary of State John Kerry later on Monday said that the administration is “open to discussions” with Iran regarding the situation in Iraq. “We’re open to discussions if there’s something constructive that could be contributed by Iran if Iran is prepared to do something that is going to respect the integrity and sovereignty of Iraq and the ability of the government to reform,” the U.S. top diplomat told Yahoo News’ Katie Couric in an interview. Still, Kerry expressed a note of caution about Iran, which the administration still appears to approach with skepticism regarding its nuclear program. “Let’s see what Iran might or might not do before we start making any pronouncements.” Senate Armed Services Committee member John McCain quickly criticized the idea of collaborating with Iran. “It would be the height of folly to believe that the Iranian regime can be our partner in managing the deteriorating security situation in Iraq,” the Arizona Republican said in a statement, adding that the regime “has sponsored acts of terrorism throughout the Middle East and the world.” The senator said that greater Iranian engagement in Iraq would empower radical ISIS militants and cause greater sectarian tensions. “The reality is, U.S. and Iranian interests and goals do not align in Iraq, and greater Iranian intervention would only make the situation dramatically worse,” McCain said.

Faces of Carson

The Carson Center for Human Services Celebrating 50 Years of Real Help with Real Life 1963-2013 There was a painting of a tree in Lisa’s parents’ living room. They bought it on their last trip to Italy. Near it was a bronze statue. It was of an odd shape, one that made Lisa think of waves and shells and summer mornings. Lisa thought of the tree painting and the wave statue as good friends, life-long friends with one another. She believed they both took comfort in one another when they were brought to her parents’ house from Europe. Lisa’s sister and brother were good with languages, as her parents were. They drove cars and read very heavy books, hooked up computers easily and had jobs where they were always making decisions and then talking all about it. To look at her little brother and sister and her parents, it was as if she were watching a time lapse film—they rolled on the patio on toddlers’ plastic Big Wheels one day and the next week, it seemed, her brother was leaving the driveway on his motorcycle and her sister was late for a flight out. Lisa and the Tree and the Wave would watch them as they left and returned for job interviews, then holidays, and then with children of their own. Lisa was in her twenties when her mother died. At the time, Lisa thought her mother had been taken from her by the darkness that lurked in the shed behind the house. She thought that she needed to burn it down to get rid of it to protect the rest of her family. She didn’t do it, but she did tell her father the plan. Her father brought her to the Carson Center, where she learned that medication and therapy could help with the thoughts she had and the way her feelings seemed to have a mind of their own. Her Carson team also helped her find her own pace. When things got too busy at her job at McDonald’s, Lisa imagined running screaming through the kitchen with a knife, but she didn’t do it. Instead, she thought of the Tree and the Wave, as her therapist had suggested, and then when she went home, she sat with them. When her father died, Lisa heard her brother talking to her sister about taking the Wave to his house. Her sister was planning on taking the Tree to hers. That night, it was Carson’s Crisis Team that helped Lisa say enough to slow her brother and sister down. In the end, her brother kept them both; he lived closer by, so that Lisa could visit. He also gave her many pictures of them. Lisa is in her fifties now. She still has her Carson team, though some of its members are new. She has her own apartment. On her wall, is a great collection of bottle caps; some of them are thirty years old. If you knew how to look, you would see in the arrangement a tree. Not far away, in tin foil, sits the cousin of a Wave. The roots of the tree had many bottle caps from Lisa’s first therapist. Her neighbors bring her bottle caps and talk to her about her day. She struggles a bit now and again not to tell them every single thing she is thinking. Most of the time, she remembers to ask about their lives, too. She has learned work- speak and neighbor- speak. She, like her beloved family, is a master of many languages, living in the shade of a tree with many branches. By JAC Patrissi

New study aims to rapidly test lung cancer drugs By MARILYNN MARCHIONE AP Chief Medical Writer A bold new way to test cancer drugs started Monday in hundreds of hospitals around the U.S. In a medical version of speed dating, doctors will sort through multiple experimental drugs and match patients to the one most likely to succeed based on each person’s unique tumor gene profile. It’s a first-of-a-kind experiment that brings together five drug companies, the government, private foundations and advocacy groups. The idea came from the federal Food and Drug Administration, which has agreed to consider approving new medicines based on results from the study. Its goal is to speed new treatments to market and give seriously ill patients more chances to find something that will help. Instead of being tested for individual genes and trying to qualify for separate clinical trials testing single drugs, patients can enroll in this umbrella study, get full gene testing and have access to many options at once. The study, called Lung-MAP, is for advanced cases of a common, hard-to-treat form of lung cancer — squamous cell. Plans for similar studies for breast and colon cancer are in the works. “For patients, it gives them their best chance for treatment of a deadly disease,” because everyone gets some type of therapy, said Ellen Sigal, chairwoman and founder of Friends of Cancer See Cancer Drugs, Page 7

Giving increases for some sectors, not for others By DAVID CRARY AP National Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Wealthy donors are lavishing money on their favored charities, including universities, hospitals and arts institutions, while giving is flat to social service and church groups more dependent on financially squeezed middle-class donors, according to the latest comprehensive report on how Americans give away their money. The Giving USA report, being released Tuesday, said Americans gave an estimated $335.17 billion to charity in 2013, up 3 percent from 2012 after adjustment for inflation. Reflecting the nation’s widening wealth gap, some sectors fared far better than others. Adjusted for inflation, giving was up 7.4 percent for education, 6.3 percent for the arts and humanities, and 4.5 percent for health organizations, while giving to religious groups declined by 1.6 percent and giving to social service groups rose by only 0.7 percent. Experts with the Giving USA Foundation and its research partner, the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, said it was the fourth straight year of increased overall giving,

Progress made on a ‘bionic pancreas’ for diabetics

and predicted that within two more years the total could match the pre-recession peak of $347.5 million. During and immediately after the recession, some wealthy donors shifted their giving to social service groups working to combat hunger and homelessness, according to Patrick Rooney, associate dean of the school of philanthropy. Now, many of those donors — including some making multimilliondollar gifts — are refocusing their attention on higher education, the arts and other sectors long patronized by the affluent, he said. The trend is readily apparent in the listings of recent major charitable gifts compiled by the Chronicle of Philanthropy, which provides

By MARILYNN MARCHIONE AP Chief Medical Writer Scientists have made big progress on a “bionic pancreas” to free some people with diabetes from the daily ordeal of managing their disease. A wearable, experimental device passed a real-world test, constantly monitoring blood sugar and automatically giving insulin or a sugar-boosting drug as needed, doctors said Sunday. The device improved blood-sugar control more than standard monitors and insulin pumps did when tested for five days on 20 adults and 32 teens. Unlike other artificial pancreases in development that just correct high blood sugar, this one also can fix too-low sugar, mimicking what a natural pancreas does. The device was developed at Massachusetts General Hospital and Boston University. Results were featured Sunday at an American Diabetes Association conference in San Francisco and were published online by the New England Journal of Medicine. “I’m very excited about it,” said Dr. Betul Hatipoglu, an endocrinologist at Cleveland Clinic who had no role in the work. Many patients have been frustrated waiting for a cure, so “this is really a great new horizon for them,” she said. The bionic pancreas is for Type 1 diabetes, the kind often found during childhood. About 5 percent of the 26 million Americans with diabetes have this type and cannot make insulin to turn food into energy. Sugar builds up in the blood, raising the risk for heart disease and many other problems. These people must check their blood and inject insulin several times a day or get it through a pocket-sized pump with a tube that goes under the skin. “This would lift that burden off of their shoulders,” Dr. Steven Russell, a diabetes specialist at Massachusetts General,

Research, a Washington-based research and advocacy group that helped plan and launch the study. “There’s something for everyone, and we’ll get answers faster” on whether experimental drugs work, she said. Cancer medicines increasingly target specific gene mutations that are carried by smaller groups of patients. But researchers sometimes have to screen hundreds of patients to find a few with the right mutation, making drug development inefficient, expensive and slow. One of the leaders of the Lung-MAP study — Dr. Roy Herbst, chief of medical oncology at the Yale Cancer Center — said he once screened 100 patients to find five that might be eligible for a study, and ultimately was able to enroll two. “It’s just going to be impossible, in rare subgroups, for companies to find enough” people to try out a new medicine, said Dr. Richard Pazdur, cancer drugs chief at the FDA. He and others at the FDA suggested the Lung-MAP trial design

to speed new treatments to market and “minimize the number of patients exposed to ineffective therapies,” he said. Everyone in the study will be screened for mutations in more than 200 cancer-related genes, rather than a single mutation as in conventional studies. Then they will be assigned to one of five groups based on what these tumor biomarkers show. Each group will test a particular experimental medicine. Drugs can be added or subtracted from the study as it goes on, based on how each performs. The initial round of testing involves Amgen, Genentech, Pfizer, AstraZeneca PLC, and AstraZeneca’s global biologics partner, MedImmune. Up to 1,000 patients a year can be enrolled in the study. It will cost about $150 million. The National Cancer Institute is paying $25 million, and the rest will come from foundations, charities and others in the public-private partnership.

Giving

said of the bionic pancreas he helped design. It has three parts: two cellphone-sized pumps for insulin and sugar-raising glucagon, and an iPhone wired to a continuous glucose monitor. Three small needles go under the skin, usually in the belly, to connect patients to the components, which can be kept in a fanny pack or a pocket. Patients still have to prick their fingers to test blood sugar twice a day and make sure the monitor is accurate, but the system takes care of giving insulin or glucagon as needed. Kristina Herndon said her 13-year-old son, Christopher, “loved it” when he tried it for the study, and “felt pretty badly giving it back” when it ended. Christopher has to check his blood sugar eight to 10 times a day and his family has to watch him closely in case it dips too low while he sleeps, which can cause seizures or even death. “It’s a disease that I think people think is not a big deal

About 500 hospitals that are part of a large cancer treatment consortium around the country will take part, and some private groups want to join as well, Herbst said. “Nothing like this has ever been done before,” where such comprehensive testing will be done to match patients to experimental drugs, he said. Breyan Harris, a 33-year-old nurse from Sacramento, hopes to enroll. She’s a lifelong non-smoker who was diagnosed with lung cancer on June 3. “Since then I’ve pretty much been on the phone, seeing doctors, trying to figure out how do I get rid of this,” she said. Harris expects to have one lung with a large tumor removed, “but if it comes back in my other lung I’m in real trouble,” so finding a drug to attack any remaining, hidden cancer is crucial, she said. ——— Study sites and info: http://tinyurl.com/ovv4cnl and http://www.Lung-MAP.org

news coverage of the nonprofit world. Among the 100 largest recent gifts, which range from $7.5 million to $275 million, the recipients overwhelmingly are universities and hospitals, along with a few arts institutions. Only four of the gifts are to social service organizations and one to a religious group. Almost all the U.S. income gains from 2009 to 2012 flowed to the top 1 percent of earners, according to tax data analyzed by economist Emmanuel Saez at the University of California, Berkeley. By contrast, median household income was $51,017 in 2012, $4,600 below its peak in 2007, according to the Census Bureau. “It’s the very wealthiest who have recovered the most in terms of the giving potential, and the very wealthiest do tend to give their biggest gifts to colleges and hospitals,” said Stacy Palmer, the Chronicle of Philanthropy’s editor. Those are the institutions that ask more effectively, she added. “They have development offices who offer donors these ambitious plans.”

In contrast, she said many social service organizations rely heavily on less wealthy donors who may not yet feel they have fully recovered from the recession. Compounding their struggles, some of those organizations are still experiencing increased demand for services as high unemployment and other social woes persist in many communities, Palmer said. Rooney noted that many social-service organizations focus on obtaining government contracts and grants, while devoting fewer resources to courting wealthy donors. Universities typically have large, highly professional fundraising staffs, and an easily identifiable pool of potential benefactors. “For many wealthy alumni, their alma mater is an important part of what made them who they are,” Rooney said. As usual, religious organizations received more donations than any other sector in 2013, with $105.5 billion in gifts. However, Giving USA said that was the lowest portion of total giving 31 percent — for church groups in four

Next steps: A study starts Monday in 40 adults who will use the device for 11 days. By fall, researchers hope to have a next-generation version combining all three components in one device to be tested in studies next year aimed at winning federal Food and Drug Administration approval. “My goal is to have this device done by the time my kid, who has Type 1 diabetes, goes to college” in about three years, said Ed Damiano, a biomedical engineer at Boston University. Two San Diego-based companies — DexCom and Tandem Diabetes Care Inc. — made components of the version tested in the current study. Boston University and Massachusetts General own or have patents pending on the system, and several researchers may someday get royalties. Medtronic, Johnson &

Johnson and several other companies also are working on artificial pancreas devices. The Boston group’s work is exciting and the results are compelling, but there still are practical challenges to bringing a device to market, said Aaron Kowalski, who oversees grants by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation on artificial pancreas development. “Most people with diabetes want less devices in their lives, not more,” so putting the components into a single automated system is key, he said. ——— Online: Diabetes info: http://diabetes. niddk.nih.gov/ and http://jdrf.org/ research/treat/artificial-pancreas-project/

decades. Rooney said giving to churches has been relatively flat for about 15 years, as many denominations report declining attendance, and polls show a drop in the percentage of Americans who consider themselves religious. “If you don’t attend church, you’re not likely to give,” said Rooney. “And most churches’ fundraising efforts are ‘Pass the plate.’” They don’t have staff with a more scientific approach.” The Illinois-based research firm Empty Tomb, which tracks religious giving trends, says church members are giving less of their income to their churches than they used to — 2.3 percent in 2011 compared to 3.1 percent in 1968. One consequence, according to Empty Tomb vice president Sylvia Ronsvalle, is relatively less money available for the churches’ social service and missionary programs. “I fault church leadership for not giving people a vision,” she said. “We’ve left the playing field to these other categories.” The nation’s largest Protestant denomination, the Southern Baptist Convention, reported earlier this month that the total of gifts to its churches dropped by nearly 1.4 percent last

year. Bill Townes, the SBC’s vice president for finance, said the denomination continued to believe it can carry out its mission, but said of the giving trend, “We’d like it to turn around.” Depending on the means of measurement, both wealthy Americans and those of more modest means can claim credit for their generosity. According to a 2012 Bank of America study, the wealthiest 3 percent of American households accounted for about 35 percent of all giving by individuals in 2011. Yet the National Center for Charitable Statistics, citing IRS data for 2011, said Americans with incomes under $100,000 gave away a higher percentage of their income — about 3.6 percent — than those with incomes between $100,000 and $1 million, for whom the figure was about 2.5 percent. Other studies have found that residents of relatively poor states in the South — including Alabama and Mississippi — are among the most generous in the nation in terms of the percentage of their discretionary income that they gave to charity. ——— Online: http://www.givingusareports.org/

Retired Sisters of St. Joseph to move from Mont Marie SPRINGFIELD - In an effort to address serious financial shortfalls, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Springfield are preparing to relocate several of their retired Sisters from Mont Marie in Holyoke to new residences in Framingham, Milton and Holyoke, Massachusetts. The Boston Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph and the Daughters of the Heart of Mary of Holyoke have lovingly and generously offered space for approximately 30 Sisters which will allow them to live with other Sisters in community. It is important to note that the Sisters of St. Joseph of Springfield will remain an independent congregation of approximately 235 Sisters with most of them remaining in their current residences and more than half remaining in the Springfield area. This move comes as the Sisters continue to evaluate options to leverage the Mont Marie property. Doing so will help to close a financial gap and allow our retired and infirm Sisters to live out the rest of their lives with care and dignity. We wish to emphasize that the Sisters of St. Joseph of Springfield will continue to minister to the people of Western Massachusetts and throughout New England. We also wish to make clear that the Mont Marie Health Care Center will continue to operate as a skilled nursing facility and that the two HUD-supported senior housing facilities, the St. Joseph Residence at Mont Marie and the Mont Marie Senior Residence, will continue to operate as usual. Sisters currently living in the Health Care Center and in the Senior Residences will continue to do so.

Morse Continued from Page 1 “hit” of marijuana with his two beers after work and two more “hits” on the shore. Immediately after the accident, the SJC report notes “Although a portable breathalyzer test detected the presence of alcohol in the defendant’s system, the officer did not smell an odor of alcohol, nor did he observe the defendant’s eyes to be red or bloodshot or his speech to be slurred.” About three hours later, Morse submitted to a breathalyzer test which found no alcohol in his system. The SJC found that the question Morse had replied “No” to “was not a model of clarity and, as phrased, required the defendant to assess the idiosyncratic effects of various substances on his own alertness and judgment.” The report continues “Such a subjective assessment is not capable of being proven false. … We are hard pressed to say that a personal evaluation of bodily response to a particular intoxicating substance, like the one at issue here, can rise to the

level of a knowingly false statement or an intentional omission of a material fact.” Accordingly, the SJC ruled “Because there was insufficient evidence to sustain the defendant’s conviction, it cannot stand.” Morse’s other conviction, for misdemeanor homicide by vessel, was upheld. The prosecution introduced expert testimony from a drug recognition expert who testified to the typical physical and cognitive consequences of ingesting marijuana and alcohol but the expert did not testify to the manifestation of these symptoms in the defendant in particular. The SJC report found “The question is a close one, but, construing the evidence in the light most favorable to the Commonwealth, we conclude that, quite apart from the expert’s testimony, sufficient evidence supported the defendant’s conviction.”

Lunches Continued from Page 1 penalized if they didn’t comply. “You could lose funding if you do not offset,” she said. Westfield Superintendent Dr. Suzanne Scallion reassured the committee that the district’s most vulnerable students wouldn’t be going hungry as a result of the increases. “Our kids who are living in homes that this would hit the hardest won’t be affected, because most of those kids are in fact

receiving free or reduced lunch, and those prices are obviously zero or very limited,” she said, prompting Petrola to state that the district’s reduced lunch price of 40 cents has not increased in nine years. Scallion also added that 40 percent of the district’s students receive free or reduced lunch, 35 percent of those receiving free lunch.

THE WESTFIELD NEWSSPORTS Fenway Westfield benefit set By Robby Veronesi WNG Intern WESTFIELD – Situated in a couple’s backyard in a residential neighborhood lies a giant green wall, similar to its counterpart on Landsdowne Street. Complete with an American flag imprinted where right field would be, benches, and plenty of lawn chairs for spectators to watch the action. After a spring season full of questionable weather conditions, Fenway Westfield will see its first summer action a couple weekends from now, with the start of the 6th annual Jeremiah Hurley, Jr, Wiffle Ball Tournament from June 27-29. The tournament’s namesake, Officer Jeremiah “Jerry” Hurley, was killed on duty while investigating a suspicious package in a residential neighborhood. The package turned out to be a bomb, killing Hurley and wounding his partner. Officer Hurley had served with the

A former officer of the Northampton Police Department, Morgan sustained serious injuries on January 19, 2014, when he was struck and dragged by a motor vehicle while on duty in New Britain, Conn.

Officer Morgan has undergone several surgeries and procedures, with potentially more to come in the upcoming months. Half of the tournament’s proceeds will be donated to the Brett Morgan Benefit Fund. For more information about the field and the tournament, please visit www.fenwaywestfield.com.

Cardinals make it 7 of 8, stifle New York Mets 6-2 ST. LOUIS (AP) — Adam Wainwright had a nice view from his seat in the dugout. The kids had it under control. Allen Craig and Matt Adams each had two RBIs and the St. Louis Cardinals got effective work from rookie pitchers subbing for their ace in a 6-2 victory over the New York Mets on Monday night. Nick Greenwood won his major league debut, with his fiancee, mother, agent and a close friend watching. “You couldn’t ask for a better outing,” Greenwood said. “It’s awesome. Words can’t describe.” Carlos Martinez allowed an unearned run in four innings in his second career start and Greenwood (1-0) allowed a run and two hits in 3 1-3 innings for St. Louis, which has won seven of eight. “I don’t know that you could ask any more,” manager Mike Matheny said. “Today could have been a really tough day on our bullpen.” Wainwright is skipping a turn to allow for tendinitis in the back of his elbow to subside. He is expected to return Saturday against the Phillies. Matt Holliday had two hits, including a single for his 1,000th career RBI in a four-run fifth that put the Cardinals up 6-1. He tipped his helmet to the crowd, and then scored standing up on Craig’s double. “He’s pretty stoic most of the time,” Matheny said. “But I mentioned something to him and he had a big smile.” Mets manager Terry Collins batted the pitcher eighth for the first time in franchise history but the novel lineup with rookie Jacob deGrom in the eighth slot ahead of Eric Young Jr. mustered just five hits. New York has lost 10 of 13, scoring two or fewer runs six times. “We scored a run, it was fine, it worked out all right,” Collins said. But he wouldn’t say whether he’d try the ploy again Tuesday, saying “I have no idea.” Adams homered in his first three games coming off the 15-day disabled list from a strained left calf. One of his RBIs on Monday came on his third triple, tied for the team lead, and he stung the ball all four at-bats. “He runs well, he runs deceptively well,” Matheny said. “I’d much rather watch him trot.” DeGrom (0-4) gave up six runs and 12 hits in 4 1-3 innings in his seventh career start, all three numbers statistical low points. “I just look at how many balls were really hit hard,” he said. “Three or four were hit hard, the rest just kind of found holes and went through.”

The 25-year-old deGrom has allowed 13 runs and 26 hits in 15 innings over his last three starts. CUBS 5, MARLINS 4, 13 INNINGS MIAMI (AP) — Pinch-hitting pitcher Travis Wood hit an RBI double with two outs in the 13th inning to lift Chicago. Called on to hit for reliever Carlos Villanueva (3-5), Wood hit a sharp groundball off Jacob Turner (2-5) down the left field line, scoring Junior Lake for the go-ahead run. Wood, who is batting .250 this season, was 0 for 4 as a pinch hitter entering the game. Miami’s Tom Koehler was near perfect to start, retiring 14 of the first 15 batters. Only Mike Olt registered a hit against the Marlins’ starter during that stretch. But the Cubs overcame a 3-0 deficit in the sixth inning. PHILLIES 6, BRAVES 1, 13 INNINGS ATLANTA (AP) — Ryan Howard homered and drove in the go-ahead run in Philadelphia’s five-run 13th inning. The Braves lost in 13 innings for the second time in three days. Ben Revere led off the 13th win a sharp single up the middle off David Hale (2-2) before stealing second base and moving to third on Jimmy Rollins’ fly ball to right field. Following an intentional walk to Chase Utley, Howard hit a sharp grounder that took one hop past first baseman Freddie Freeman for an error as Revere scored from third. Marlon Byrd following with a run-scoring single up the middle. Howard scored on a fly ball to deep right field by Carlos Ruiz. Reid Brignac, who had three hits, added a two-run triple. Antonio Bastardo (4-3) pitched two scoreless innings. RANGERS 14, ATHLETICS 8 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Donnie Murphy homered twice to help Colby Lewis win for the first time in more than three weeks. Michael Choice and Robinson Chirinos also homered, and Adrian Beltre drove in three runs as the Rangers got their fourth straight win at the Coliseum. Texas swept a three-game series in Oakland in April. Lewis (5-4) allowed 10 hits and five runs over 5 1-3 innings to win for the first time since May 25. Murphy hit a two-run home run in the fourth and a solo shot in the ninth. Yoenis Cespedes hit a three-run home run while Brandon Moss added his 17th for Oakland. Drew Pomeranz (5-4) allowed eight runs and eight hits in 3 2/3 innings — his shortest outing since joining the A’s rotation in early May. INDIANS 4, ANGELS 3 CLEVELAND (AP) — Carlos Santana and Asdrubal Cabrera homered, and Cleveland ended Jered Weaver’s unbeaten streak at Progressive Field. Santana’s leadoff homer in the fifth inning broke a 3-all tie and moved the Indians (36-35) over the .500 mark. Cabrera hit a two-run homer in the first. Both home runs came off Weaver (7-6), who lost for the first time in 10 career starts at the Indians’ ballpark. Weaver was 6-0 and allowed 11 earned runs in 60 1-3 innings in nine starts at Progressive Field coming into the game.

Trevor Bauer (2-3) allowed three runs in 6 2-3 innings for his first win since May 20. Carlos Carrasco pitched 2 1-3 innings for his first career save. BREWERS 9, DIAMONDBACKS 3 PHOENIX (AP) — Wily Peralta pitched seven effective innings, Aramis Ramirez lined a two-run double in the eighth inning and Milwaukee broke open a close game late. Peralta (7-5) shook off a shaky second inning to keep the NL Central-leading Brewers close against Arizona and Brandon McCarthy. Milwaukee ran away with it once McCarthy left, scoring three runs in the eighth against Will Harris (0-2): two on Ramirez’s third hit and another on a run-scoring single by Khris Davis. Ryan Braun hit a two-run triple off J.J. Putz in the ninth inning and Scooter Gennett had a run-scoring single after homering earlier in the game for the Brewers, who had 12 hits. MARINERS 5, PADRES 1 SEATTLE (AP) — On a somber day for the Padres organization following the death of Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn at age 54, Seattle’s Kyle Seager hit a three-run homer in the first inning, Brad Miller added a solo shot, and Chris Young threw six shutout innings against his former team. Gwynn died earlier in the day of oral cancer, a disease he attributed to years of chewing tobacco. San Diego was shut out by Young (6-4) and a pair of relievers until Carlos Quentin hit a solo homer leading off the ninth. Seager’s homer came on a 3-0 pitch from San Diego starter Tyson Ross (6-6). Robinson Cano added an RBI double as Seattle scored all five runs in the first two innings. ROYALS 11, TIGERS 8 DETROIT (AP) — Omar Infante hit a three-run homer in the sixth inning and had an RBI single in a four-run fifth against former teammate Justin Verlander as Kansas City beat Detroit. The Royals have won a season-high eight straight to pull within a half-game of the AL Central-leading Tigers. Detroit scored six runs in the ninth inning and pulled within three on J.D. Martinez’s two-out grand slam off Donnie Joseph. Michael Mariot struck out Austin Jackson looking for the final out. Jason Vargas (7-2) gave up two runs on seven hits and two walks to win his third straight. Verlander (6-7) allowed seven earned runs in consecutive starts for the first time in his career, giving up a season-high 12 hits and striking out two over six innings. RAYS 5, ORIOLES 4 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Jerry Sands, Yunel Escobar and Ryan Hanigan homered to lead Tampa Bay past Baltimore. Sands’ first homer since Sept. 20, 2011, a two-run, pinch-hit shot off Brian Matusz, snapped a 3-3 tie in the eighth inning. Escobar hit a solo homer in the first and Hanigan added a tworun drive in the fourth for a 3-0 lead against Orioles starter Wei-Yin Chen. Sands went deep on a 2-0 pitch after Matusz replaced Darren O’Day (2-1), who departed with a runner on and two outs. Adam Jones homered for the second straight day for Baltimore, hitting a two-run shot in the sixth. Jake McGee (3-0) got the last two outs in the top of the eighth, giving up a tying infield RBI single to Nelson Cruz. Delmon Young had a pinch-hit homer in the ninth off Juan Carlos Oviedo, who got the last three outs for his first save. DODGERS 6, ROCKIES 1 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dee Gordon had four hits, including a triple that was misplayed into four bases by left fielder Charlie Blackmon, and Hyun-Jin Ryu pitched six strong innings to help Los Angeles snap Colorado’s season-best fivegame winning streak. Ryu (8-3) allowed a run and three hits in six innings and struck out six in his 13th start. In his first 13 starts last season — his first in the major leagues — the left-hander was 8-5 with a 2.85 ERA. This was the ninth time this year that Ryu has allowed fewer than three earned runs, and he is 7-0 in those games. Matt Kemp drove in two runs for Los Angeles, while Hanley Ramirez, A.J. Ellis and Yasiel Puig had RBI singles. Tyler Matzek (1-1) allowed three runs and 10 hits through five innings in his second big league start and did not strike out a batter.

De La Rosa, Red Sox beat Twins 1-0 By KEN POWTAK Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Rubby De La Rosa is sure making things look easy in Fenway Park. He’s also making it a little harder for the Boston Red Sox to decide what to do when other pitchers are ready to come off the disabled list. De La Rosa matched his first career Fenway start with another seven impressive innings to outpitch Kevin Correia and A.J. Pierzynski had a sacrifice fly, lifting the Red Sox to a 1-0 win over the Minnesota Twins Monday night. “I know it’s been 14 shutout innings here at Fenway,” Boston manager John Farrell said. “Whether he feels the energy here in this ballpark or is comfortable on our mound, that’s clearly the case. When a guy possess that type of arm and that repertoire, as long as he throws strikes, he’s going to have the ability to get some of the best hitters in the game.” De La Rosa (2-2) gave up only a single in the third inning as he combined with three relievers on a three-hitter. He walked three and fanned three. In his other Fenway start, on May 31, De La Rosa also pitched seven shutout innings, holding Tampa Bay to four hits. He had given up four runs over 5 2-3 innings in each of his last two starts — both on the road. The 25-year old right-hander, acquired in Boston’s salary dump deal that sent Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett and Carl Crawford to the Los Angeles Dodgers in August of 2012, is taking injured starter Clay Buchholz’s spot in the rotation. Mike Napoli helped cut down a runner trying to score with a heads up play in a Red Sox victory that came after a pair of one-run losses. Boston is 9-15 in one-run games. It was Boston’s first 1-0 win at home since May 18, 2011, over the Detroit Tigers. “I feel comfortable. I feel at home,” De La Rosa said. “The field has helped me a little bit, the mound too” Both Buchholz and left-hander Felix Doubront are currently on the road back, making rehab starts. De La Rosa isn’t worrying about what choice the club will need to make. “I don’t want to think about that,” he said, smiling. Andrew Miller struck out the only batter he faced, Burke Badenhop got two outs and Koji Uehara three outs to remain perfect in 15 save chances. He extended his streak to 31 straight saves over the past two regular seasons.

(AP Photo/Michael Dwyer) “He was good. The guy throws mid 90s and has a changeup like that, a breaking ball every once and a while, but changeups, 3-2 changeups,” Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said about De La Rosa. “He was pretty good. He was tough. Our guy was tough, too, threw the ball very well. We had opportunities — I think we made one baserunning mistake that you never know what might happen after that.” Correia (3-8) gave up five hits, walking one and striking out two in six innings. The right-hander pitched six shutout innings in his last start, earning the win at Toronto. “That guy was tough,” Correia said. “We had an opportunity early but after that he was real tough. I put us in a situ-

Brooks’ goal just like in a dream NATAL, Brazil (AP) — Smiling ear to ear after winning a World Cup match with his first international goal, John Brooks had a story to share. “I told some teammates that I dreamed that I scored in the 80th minute and we won the game,” he said. “And now it was the 86th minute and we won.” One of the surprise picks by U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann, Brooks hadn’t been in the starting lineup for the Americans’ World Cup opener against Ghana. But after central defender Matt Besler felt tightness in his right hamstring during the final five minutes of the first half, Klinsmann inserted the 21-year-old Brooks for the start of the second. Just four minutes after Andre Ayew’s 82nd-minute goal wiped out a lead Clint Dempsey had given the U.S. just 29 seconds in, the 6-foot-4 Brooks outjumped Ghana’s John Boye to meet Graham Zusi’s corner kick and bounced an 8-yard header past goalkeeper Adam Kwarasey. Overcome with emotion, Brooks ran in disbelief, slumped to the ground arms first and felt teammates pile onto him. When they finally moved off, he put both hands to his lips and blew a kiss. Brooks thought back to two nights earlier and the dream. It also was on a header.

From a corner kick. Just liked it happened. “It was unbelievable,” Brooks said. “I couldn’t believe it.” Klinsmann chose Brooks over Clarence Goodson, an unused substitute on the 2010 World Cup team. Among the five German-Americans on the 23-man roster, Brooks made his national team debut last August and had only four appearances entering the World Cup. He was benched twice last season by Hertha Berlin, his club in the German Bundesliga, for a poor performance in December and being unable to train in April because he was hampered by a tattoo on his back. “With John, I saw, we saw, very early that his passing is amazing. He’s very calm for his age. Obviously he’s very strong in the air because he’s so tall,” Klinsmann said. “This is what you read, then you have to figure out is he ready for such a big thing like a World Cup already or maybe does it take another year or two in his development?” Klinsmann consulted with Hertha coach Jos Luhukay and sporting director Michael Preetz. “They expected more from him the last season. There he got a little bit of a lesson from his coach,” Klinsmann said. “It’s part of growing, as well.

But we knew that if we had the time now for more than a month to work him through every training session, to teach him some elements of the game, that he’s willing to take that on and learn it quickly. And obviously he learned it quickly.” As the American Outlaws chanted their way out of the stadium, Brooks missed the chance to meet Vice President Joe Biden when he visited the locker room. Brooks and Jermaine Jones had been chosen for random drug tests. Brooks, who lives in Berlin and has family in Chicago, has only visited the U.S. for training camps and vacation. But speaking one day in California last month, he said, “When I’m here, I’m a full American. I play with heart for America.” He had nerves initially Monday, yet is thrilled with how things ended. “I think the first goal was perfect, a perfect start. Couldn’t be better,” Brooks said. Nearly two hours after the final whistle, Brooks was among the last U.S. players to leave the locker room. Someone asked whether he thinks he will start against Portugal on Sunday. “I don’t expect anything,” he said. “I just give my best in every training session, and we’ll see.”

ation where we were in the game and that’s all I can really do.” The Twins have lost three straight. Badenhop loaded the bases, but struck out Brian Dozier to end the eighth. The Red Sox moved ahead 1-0 in the fifth on Pierzynski’s sacrifice fly after Daniel Nava singled and advanced on Stephen Drew’s single. Boston’s Dustin Pedroia had a single and has reached safely in all 29 career starts against the Twins. Heads up defense by Napoli kept the Twins from scoring in the third. San Fuld drew a leadoff walk and stole second. Danny Santana then singled to center. Napoli cut off the throw home, with Fuld holding at third, and caught Santana in a rundown. But, just he ran toward Santana, Napoli turned and fired home, catching Fuld in a rundown where he was eventually tagged out. NOTES: Buchholz, on the 15-day DL with a hyperextended right knee, is scheduled to make his second rehab start for Triple-A Pawtucket on Thursday. ... Red Sox 3B Will Middlebrooks, on the DL and recovering from a fractured right index finger, and OF Shane Victorino, on the DL for the second time this season with a strained right hamstring, are both also on rehab assignments with Pawtucket. Farrell said before the game that he hopes to get Victorino back on the upcoming West Coast trip, which begins Thursday in Oakland. ... Minnesota INF Eduardo Nunez missed his second straight with a sore hamstring. ... Kendrys Morales went 0 for 4 after hitting safely in his first six games since signing with the Twins on June 8. ... Badenhop has pitched 15 2-3 consecutive scoreless innings.

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

What’s wrong with me? Dear Annie: I have been married for four years. In that time, we have split up twice, and it wasn’t pretty either time. We have kids together. I pushed getting married when I became pregnant at 19. Then he claimed to fall out of love with me, stopped coming home after work and began treating me like his maid. So I left and took our child. He followed me and swore he’d do better. The second time we split, we fought so much that things were being thrown, and our throats were sore from screaming at each other. For the (now two) kids’ sake, I said we can’t keep fighting and left again. Here’s the problem now. While we were separated, I fell deeply in love with a married man. We would talk about our troubled lives and build each other up. Every time I see him, the feeling is like thunder in my heart. But for the sake of our marriages and our children, we went back to our spouses. That was mainly his choice, and although I hung on his every word with disappointment, I agreed. It’s been a year since my husband and I reconciled, and I stopped speaking to the other man. But I wake up with him on my mind, and he’s in my thoughts 24/7. What’s wrong with me? -- Guilty Conscience Dear Guilty: It’s understandable that you miss the way the other man made you feel, especially because your marriage still seems shaky. However, you have made a commitment to your relationship (and the other man has done the same for his), and you must try to find a way to redirect your emotional energy back to your husband. Problems within a marriage do not magically disappear. Please get counseling, with or without your husband, and work on the issues that undermine your focus. Do it for your children, if not for yourself. Dear Annie: Who is responsible for the headings on your column? The one I read the other day said, “Son can’t get pass his anxiety issues.” If it is someone on your team of editors, please tell them the correct word is “past.” -- C.W. Dear C.W.: Normally, we would direct editing questions (and spelling mistakes and other such errors) to our editors. However, we receive so many questions about the headings above our column that we would like our readers to know that the headlines, good or bad, are written by someone at your local newspaper. This is not an easy assignment. We think these folks do an outstanding job, and we’d like to take this opportunity to thank them. Of course, that doesn’t mean an occasional mistake doesn’t slip through. If the mistakes happen frequently, you can write or phone your newspaper and mention it. Dear Annie: This is in response to “Concerned Grandparents,” who complained that their daughter and her husband are poor housekeepers. I have high standards of cleanliness, but am completely unable to attain them. My mother-in-law is horrified that our home is not pristine. I have five children. Imagine the clutter: shoes, coats, sports equipment, you name it! We also have pets and farm animals. We do not have many closets, and we do our best to have organizational systems. There is certainly no mold or bugs, but life is exhausting, and we are trying to enjoy some of it. “Concerned” says that her daughter does not invite people into her home. I wonder whether the daughter got tired of being berated and stopped inviting the in-laws. That’s what happened to me. I would recommend that “Concerned” be more understanding of the situation and perhaps take the kids for an outing so that the parents have a chance to organize without messmakers underfoot. My kids are learning to clean, but it certainly isn’t up to my mother-in-law’s standards. -- Busy Mom 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 SWEAT SMELL Dear Heloise: My son plays football, and his clothes always have an odor from the sweat. No matter what I do, I can’t seem to get them clean. Can you help? -- Linda in Texas Athletic clothing sure can get stinky! As soon as your son gets home, air out his clothes. Don’t stuff them in a hamper unless they are dry. Turn each piece inside-out before washing. For shirts, rub a little full-strength laundry detergent into the armpit area. Put the clothes into the washer, but don’t cram it full; the clothing won’t rinse clean if the washer is too full. Use a lot of water and rinse a second time, then air-dry. After washing, smell the clothes. If they still stink, pour vinegar onto the smelly area. Let sit for a few minutes and then repeat. Vinegar will kill any bacteria. Then wash again. Have another tough stain you need help getting out? Order my Handy Stain Guide for Clothing pamphlet. To receive, send $5 and a long, selfaddressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Stain Guide, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. When treating a stain, place a paper towel underneath the stain to keep it from going through the fabric. -- Heloise

YOUR HOROSCOPE Contract Bridge By Jaqueline Bigar

DOG EAT DOUG

Brian Anderson

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, June 17, 2014: This year you often see the big picture, whereas others might not. You will want to take your time and explain more of your vision. You are 100 percent committed to excellent communication, but you could be too verbal at times. If you are single, this summer could be in your memory for a long time. Romance heads your way. If you are attached, the two of you will enjoy relating more and more. You communicate well with each other, especially when you are alone together. PISCES is as emotional as you are intellectual. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Use the morning for key matters, as that is when you are least likely to hit an obstacle. Optimism surrounds your home life. Any investment you put into property will pay off. Know when to put a halt to a conversation. Tonight: Get some much-needed quiet time. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Others clearly have strong expectations of what you can do. You might be confident, but you won’t be as sure of yourself as others are. Pressure builds until the mid-afternoon, when you can ask for feedback from a friend. Discussions will be animated. Tonight: Where the action is. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Keep reaching out to someone at a distance whose insight you frequently depend on. You might become unusually talkative today. Be careful, as you could let an important yet private matter slip. Communicate your needs clearly. Tonight: On call for friends and loved ones. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You will be in a fortunate place where you’ll be able to create much more of what you want from a situation or from life in general. You might not realize the effect you have on others. Just state your case; you do not need to manipulate anyone. Tonight: Think “vacation.” LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Calls come in, and a key project seems to be a hot topic. Delay a personal matter to later, when you might have more privacy for an important talk. Don’t hesitate to ask for more of what you want. Tonight: Make the most of your free time, and connect with a loved one. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Don’t allow yourself to be distracted in the morning. The more you can accomplish, the less uptight you will be. Be willing to accept someone’s compliment. This person likely is trying to make amends. Mix lunch and networking. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Your creative ideas come out in the morning; however, applying one could be more significant than you think. Your schedule might be tossed into chaos as a result. Make sure you value what you are about to do, and that the cost is worthwhile. Tonight: Do what you must. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You could be taken aback by someone else’s diligence and willingness to go through a problem with you. Accept this person’s support, and be positive. A conversation might be more important than you realize or want to acknowledge. Tonight: Release your inner child. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You’ll accomplish a lot in the morning if you make and return necessary calls. Though you might not want to commit to plans, you will enjoy catching up on others’ news. Think more carefully about your choices that involve a key person. Tonight: Hang out close to home. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You might feel tense about a financial matter in the morning, but by mid-afternoon you will kick back and relax. You could see a different perspective to a personal matter. A co-worker or friend seems to be full of information. Tonight: Visit with a loved one. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Your creativity comes out naturally. Your interactions will attract others’ attention. You might feel energetic, but staying mentally focused could be a challenge. Brainstorm with a pal while taking a walk. Open up, and allow more sharing. Tonight: Be willing

to pick up the tab. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH The morning could feel off to you. You might consider taking off the day, or perhaps just the morning. You will rejuvenate later today, and you’ll be nearly unstoppable. Know that you will be able to make up for lost time. Tonight: Beam in exactly what you want.

Canoe and kayak cruise WESTFIELD On Saturday, June 21, the Westfield River Watershed Association will sponsor a scenic, mostly flat-water, six-mile paddle from the new Great River Bridge in Westfield to Robinson State Park in Agawam. Participants should bring their own canoe or kayak, paddles and personal safety devices, as well as sunscreen and drinking water. For those used to seeing the river only in glimpses from the road, the canoe cruise offers a new, close-up view of the waterway. Organizers recommend that participants be experienced paddlers, given that river conditions may be unpredictable. Children under 18 must be supervised by a parent or guardian. Children under 14 must paddle in the same boat as an adult. An admission fee of $10.00 per person and $25.00 per family will help cover refresh-

ments, shuttle service and insurance. Registration is from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. in the municipal parking lot off Meadow Street near the Great River Bridge in Westfield. Participants will register, unload boats and gear, drive their vehicles to Robinson State Park and return to the launch area by shuttle. Staggered departures will begin at 11:00 a.m. For more information about the Canoe and Kayak Cruise, visit www.westfieldriver.org or call Fran S. at 413-5624998.

HUNTINGTON - The Huntington Historical Society will present “The Forgotten Valley, Forgotten No More” on Sunday, June 22, from 2-5 p.m. at Stanton Hall in Huntington. The event focuses on the early history of the Town of Norwich, a former name for Huntington, and the valley areas of Knightville and Indian Hollow affected by the construction of the Knightville Flood Control Dam in 1939-41 on the east branch of the Westfield River. Through use of photographs, audiovisual equipment and the spoken word, the period from 1773 to 1941 will be covered. Special guests Winnie Bates Smith of Huntington and Albert Edward Strong of Westfield, both in their 90’s, will tell about growing up in the valley in the 1920’s and ‘30s, before the dam was built. Several descendants of first settlers of Norwich will also be on hand with information about their families. The program is free and includes refreshments, with donations gladly accepted. Stanton Hall, located at the junction of routes 20 and 112 on the town green, is air-conditioned and fully accessible. Call Historical Society members Bill at 667-3049 or Jill at 667-5794 for further information.

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.
