Lack of lifeguards at Town Beach

By HOPE E. TREMBLAY Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – The Southwick Town Beach is set to open June 26 but a lack of lifeguards could delay the start of summer.

Parks and Recreation Commissioner Daniel Call said yesterday that there are no applicants for lifeguards, which could be a concern for the Board of Health.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts allows beaches to run without lifeguards but Call said the town health board expressed hesitation at signing off on opening without lifeguards during its meeting last week.

“They want more information and they might involve town counsel and review with the Board of Selectmen,” said Call.

That could take a few weeks and Call is hoping it does not interfere with the beach opening.

“We’re getting awful close to the opening date,” he said.

The Commission advertised for lifeguards but no one applied.

“We even increased the pay to $12 per hour,” said Call.

The Commission is seeking certified lifeguards who also have first aid certification , as well as some experience.

Call said right now, he is not sure what is going to happen or if the local board can trump state laws.

“Since I’ve been on the board, we’ve always had lifeguards,” said Call.

Treasurer Goldberg vows to build better schools BOSTON (AP) — State Treasurer Deb Goldberg says she wants to build schools that better match the needs of students in a rapidly changing global economy.

As treasurer, Goldberg oversees the Massachusetts School Building Authority, created in 2004 to work with local communities to help build affordable, sustainable, and energy efficient schools.

The authority receives its funding through a dedicated stream of one penny of the state's 6.25 percent sales tax.

In prepared remarks to the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce Tuesday morning, Goldberg said the authority can help build schools that can better teach the skill sets necessary to grow the economy.

Site for new Springfield area Catholic school down to 2 SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — The location of a new Roman Catholic high school for the Springfield area has been narrowed down to two possible sites.

The Springfield Diocese announced Monday that the two possible sites for the new school, to be known as Pope Francis High School, are on Surrey Road in Springfield, the former site of Cathedral High School; and land along Route 33 in Chicopee owned

By DAN MORIARTY Staff Writer SPRINGFIELD – The Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) released the draft of appropriations for the regional 2016-2019 transportation improvement program which includes nearly $23 million for projects in Westfield over that three year span.

Mayor Daniel M. Knapik said in a press release that “these projects have been in the queue for well over a decade and the city made an important commitment to spend money to design these projects early in my first MAYOR DANIEL term. I am very M. KNAPIK pleased that the MPO has programmed state and federal dollars to complete these projects.”

“All of these projects have been subject to extensive public review and engineers have adjusted the design to accommodate public comment,” Knapik said. “Certainly, these projects will be subject to additional review, but I am pleased that funding is in place to make these improvements as we work to address structural and functional deficiencies.”

The earmark for the federal 2016 fiscal year, which began on Oct. 1, 2015 and concludes on Sept. 30, 2016, includes $5.3 million for the reconstruction of Little River Road from Tow Path Lane to the area of Sherman’s Mill Bridge over Great Brook. That work is the second phase of the Route 187 improvements. Phase 1, Feeding Hills Road improvements are currently under way.

City Engineer Mark Cressotti said that the projects also include improvements to Ridgecrest Drive and Shaker Road, as well as a sewer line extension from Shaker Road along Little River Road to a few hundred MARK feet west of the CRESSOTTI Great Brook. “ Te n t a t i v e l y (Massachusetts Department of Transportation) will advertise that project in November with working to begin during See Road Projects, Page 3

Healey urges lawmakers to overhaul criminal justice laws BOSTON (AP) — Attorney General Maura Healey is pressing lawmakers to make key changes to the state’s criminal justice laws.

Healey urged lawmakers to repeal the automatic suspension of a person’s driver’s license after a general drug offense conviction, saying the penalty only ends up increasing the number of unlicensed and uninsured drivers on the road.

“Automatic license suspensions for non-vehicle-related drug offenses unnecessarily prevent people

from rebuilding their lives, getting to work, and caring for their families,” she said Monday in a letter to the chairmen of the Joint Committee on the Judiciary.

The recommendations came ahead of a public hearing on Tuesday.

Healey said she also supports eliminating statutory mandatory minimum sentences for certain drug offenses, specifically those that fall short of trafficking and do not involve minors.

Minimum Wait.

Maximum Care.

“History shows we cannot incarcerate our way out of this public health crisis, and we need smart reforms that will allow us to focus on treatment for those we are most able to help,” Healey wrote.

Healey supports other changes in the law including increasing the threshold amounts of several property-related crimes and allowing sheriffs to be able to ask courts to transfer terminally ill or permanently incapacitated inmates to alternative facilities to receive medical

services.

Beacon Hill lawmakers and community leaders are planning a news conference at the Statehouse on Tuesday in support of legislation that would make some of the changes backed by Healey.

The bill would repeal mandatory minimum drug sentences and reduce certain low-level felonies — such as shoplifting, petty theft or more minor drug charges — to misdemeanors. It also would eliminate the law requiring the Registry of Motor

Vehicles to confiscate the license of a person convicted of any drug offense.

The bill would take the money saved from the changes to create a trust fund designed to pay for job training and pre-apprenticeship programs for youths, veterans, victims of violence and other people with significant barriers to employment, an idea Healey supports. The fund also would back initiatives to discourage teenagers from dropping out of school.

Man called a great impostor is charged with identity theft DETROIT (AP) — Police investigating bad checks say they found much more: A Detroit-area impostor who inspired a 1989 award-winning film was posing like someone else — again.

William Street Jr., 64, was charged in federal court with fraud and identity theft after he was found with documents and a white doctor’s coat with the name of a Maryland man, William Benn Stratton.

Street has two dozen convictions going back decades and even fooled the Detroit Tigers into giving him a tryout in the 1970s, The Detroit News reported (http:// bit.ly/1KJdENM ) Friday.

“Oh my God, you can’t make this stuff up. I am completely dumbfounded and speechless,” said Stratton, 54, who isn’t a doctor but a vice president at ClearShark, a technology company in Hanover, Maryland.

Street was the inspiration for “Chameleon Street,” which won a major prize at the 1990 Sundance Film Festival. Defense See Impostor, Page 5

Gateway Superintendent’s Corner I’d like to believe that the messages brought forward to Gateway’s graduates this past Friday will resonate with many, if not all, of our towns’ residents. From my message of thanking those who make our success possible, that it takes a collaborative effort from a group of people to truly make a difference, and that one needs to remember the lessons of the past when dealing with the immediacy of the moment and the potential for the future; and Mrs. Crane’s message of sharing the feelings of success, of being proud, of the rich history of the district and of hope for the future; to the messages of shared joys, difficulties overcome, lasting memories, and the vision of a brighter future delivered by our student speakers – the ideas are those that have stood the test of time.

I was particularly moved by the student speeches as each speaker was supportive of others taking action to make the world a better place.

Each speech was excellent

DR. DAVID HOPSON and the stage presence of these students was phenomenal, certainly a tribute to both the speakers and their educational experiences at Gateway.

As the Gateway District faces calls for action to ‘save’ the district, one wonders about the great differences in the messages being heard.

From parents, students, and staff we hear of a great school district that, despite its size and financial limitations, has provided wonderful opportunities to students attending and a strong background of knowledge, skills, and attitudes allowing our graduates to be successful in higher

education, in the military, in the workforce and, perhaps most importantly, in life.

From others we hear of the need to move Gateway up in the standardized assessment measures that the state judges districts and students on despite the fact that these assessments only measure the most minute amount of what students take from their years with us (us being not only the school, but also our families and communities) and that we need to do this in a manner that makes education ‘affordable’ within the context of Proposition 2 ½.

I believe there is truth within each of these and other viewpoints. There is always room for improvement, and despite all of the financial savings the district has employed, one can never stop looking for ways to be more efficient. However, I also think that we must strive to expand what works well, modify what works satisfactorily, and eliminate or restructure what isn’t working. Of course this is never as

easy as it sounds for our definitions of what works and what doesn’t work are not necessarily the same across all groups and individuals.

This results in a need for a collaborative approach to looking at the district – what lessons can we learn from the past, what are our most immediate and pressing current problems, and how to we determine our goals for the future – from the perspective of as many diverse groups as we can use to gather data upon which to base decisions.

This is not an easy, quick, or inexpensive process if one hopes to do it well and come up with a plan that can be agreed upon, implemented, and is based upon both realities and the dreams of the future. However, as we look upon our recent graduates, at those graduates who came before them and have been successful in life, and think of the students yet to graduate, don’t we owe it to all of them to continue building a better ‘Gateway’ for our children and our communities?

The award honors individuals, families or companies who have contributed to the preservation of the rich history of Westfield. Nominations for the award include diverse topics as rehabilitation and restoration, individual lifetime achievement, landscape preservation, archaeology, adaptive reuse, education and local preservation.

As the city goes through many changes and improvements, awarding those who have preserved the historical character of Westfield encourages pride and renewed spirit in protecting the heritage of Westfield. The deadline for completed applications is July 1, 2015.

Previous winners of the Preservation Award include Dan Denovese for his books spotlighting local sports history, Ann Lentini and Domus for rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of buildings located in the heart of downtown Westfield. Ann Lentini went on to win a Massachusetts Historical Commission Preservation Award. Baystate Dental received the 2014 Award for the beautiful rehabilitation of the Morgan House located on 29 Broad Street.

“We’re really in good shape for that phase of the Route 187 improvements. The city will have to acquire some easements through the eminent domain process.”

“The Ridgecrest Drive intersection work includes improved drainage and installation of a retaining wall and sidewalks,” Cressotti said. “The geometry of the Shaker Road intersection will be changed to lessen the curve on Little River Road, with road widening to allow installation of a dedicated left turn lane from Little River Road (eastbound) onto Shaker Road.”

Improvements to Shaker Road will also include installation of a sidewalk along the west side of Shaker Road between Little River Road and the intersection of Cardinal Lane.

Also earmarked for the federal 2016 fiscal year are $2.6 million for reconstruction of the northern section of the Columbia Greenway.

Cressotti said that money will be primarily used for rehabilitation of the former Pioneer Valley Railroad Bridge over the Westfield River. About half of the funding will be used to remove lead paint from the bridge while the remaining funds will finance construction of the rail trail deck spanning across the bridge to Women’s’ Temperance Park on the north bank of the river.

“The city has committed significant financial resources to the Western Avenue improvement including stormwater improvements, water and sewer line improvements and installation of a permanent traffic control signal on Western Avenue at the commuter parking lot, replacing the present temporary light,” Cressotti said. “Sewer lines will be extended up Western Avenue to the area of Llewellyn Drive.”

The second phase of the Western Avenue improvement, from Lloyd’s Hill Road to the intersection of Mill Street, will be funded with a $5.7 earmark in the federal 2019 fiscal year. Western Avenue improvements will be made to the High and Mill Street intersection, as well as improvements to West Silver Street from the intersection of Western Avenue to Mill Street.

“That phase is much longer than the first phase and there is no significant investment of city money,” Cressotti said.

The MPO also earmarked $6.5 million to complete the construction of the Columbia Greenway between Main Street and the railroad bridge.

That funding will be allocated in the Federal 2017 fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1, 2016.

Cressotti said that much of the funding will be used to replace former railroad bridges and to raise the railroad bridge over Elm Street. New bridges will be installed over Main Street, Thomas Street, Chapel Street and Orange Street. The Elm Street bridge work also includes “deleading” the paint used on that structure.

The Federal 2017 fiscal year earmark also includes $2.7 million for improvements to Western Avenue between Llewellyn Drive and Lloyds Hill Road.

Wall Street fears leftward swerve by Hillary Clinton

By BEN WHITE Politico.com NEW YORK — Wall Street Democrats and some independents are growing increasingly nervous that the presence of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley in the race and the continuing leftward tilt of the Democratic Party could push Hillary Clinton to take a tougher stance on financial reform issues in ways that could make their lives uncomfortable.

The fear is not that either candidate could beat Clinton — no one thinks that’s likely to happen.

Instead, some on Wall Street think powerful populist pitches from O’Malley and Sanders coupled with the heavy influence of noncandidate Elizabeth Warren could force Clinton to come out harder on issues including breaking up the nation’s largest banks, imposing a financial transaction tax, putting individual bankers in jail, cracking down on executive pay and otherwise beating up on an industry that six years after the financial crisis still suffers from rock bottom public opinion ratings.

The fear comes as Clinton is planning a series of policy speeches in the coming weeks — including one possibly dedicated to Wall Street reform — after a big announcement rally this Saturday in New York City, home of the financial industry.

“My fear is that she is just going to get pulled too far left by people who want her to just hammer the banks and stand in opposition to all these things she’s against,” said the CEO of one large Wall Street firm who declined to be identified by name to avoid angering the Clinton campaign.

The CEO, who backed Clinton in 2008, is now supporting Republican former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush for president. “What we need are forward-looking solutions, and I just think Jeb is better positioned to deliver those even though I’d still be comfortable with either one.”

Many big money managers say it is inevitable that Clinton will have to come out with a tougher program on Wall Street reform than anything she’s said so far or risk dispiriting the base she is counting on to hand her the nomination and then drive her into the White House next fall.

“Incomplete financial reforms and continued news of malfeasance will pressure presidential candidates, including Secretary Clinton, to be tough on banks and that will cause discomfort on Wall Street,” said Mohamed El-Erian, chief economic adviser at Allianz.

For Clinton, losing public support from Wall Street backers would cost her a ready source of campaign funds but also spare her the criticism that comes with it.

The former secretary of state is already trying to assure the left that she can be trusted on financial reform despite her family’s close relationships with Wall Street and the millions in speaking fees that she’s earned, much of it talking to large financial groups.

Clinton also from some guilt by association on the left as her husband, former President Bill Clinton, presided over an era of deregulation that saw the wall between investment and consumer banking torn down in ways that some blame for the financial crisis.

The entire Clinton era is often associated with the rise of the socalled Wall Street wing of the Democratic Party, personified by two of Clinton’s Treasury secretaries, Robert Rubin and Larry Summers.

In his campaign launch, O’Malley used the fact that Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein has told colleagues he’d be fine with either a Jeb Bush or a Hillary Clinton presidency as a weapon to bash the Democratic front-runner. An O’Malley aide said the candidate will continue to slam Clinton over her Wall Street ties and make financial reform a centerpiece for months to come.

Clinton, rings the New York Stock opening bell, accompanied

by NYSE CEO Duncan L. Niederauer, Monday Sept. 21, 2009. | AP Photo But while Clinton might welcome some public scorn from Wall Street fat cats, a large exodus of deep-pocketed financial supporters to Bush or other GOP candidates could complicate Clinton’s efforts to amass the $2 billion to $2.5 billion cash hoard that her associates have targeted as the amount she will need to win the White House. Clinton campaign officials call that number highly unrealistic. The $2 billion or more figure cited by others would include the campaign itself, the super PAC, the Democratic National Committee and other related groups.

But with Bush, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker — along with other Republicans — making big pushes for Wall Street cash, the industry has multiple options for its money.

Priorities USA Action, the main super PAC supporting Clinton, has already shaken up its leadership once and had significant trouble getting donors to write the six-figure checks that Bush has been piling up for his Right to Rise super PAC. Bush is expected to announce next month that’s he’s already raised $50 million or even much more for his PAC. Priorities USA Action is expected to announce a much smaller number.

Clinton aides and outside advisers alike acknowledge that the candidate is “in a box,” as one donor put it, when it comes to financial reform. If she goes at it too hard she could scare away donors. If she goes too soft she risks alienating the left in potentially damaging ways for a campaign that is relying on the leftleaning Obama coalition to win.

No decisions have been made on exactly what to include in a major speech on financial reform, though things like a financial transactions tax — pushed in the past by President Barack Obama but reviled by Wall Street — remain possibilities, aides and outside advisers said.

It’s also not clear how hard she will hit bankers themselves, though she is expected to continue to stress the theme of how the deck is currently stacked in favor of those at the top, an oblique reference to Wall Street.

Obama poised to hike wages for millions The Labor Department could propose a rule that would raise the current overtime threshold

By MARIANNE LEVINE Politico The Obama administration is on the verge of possibly doubling the salary levels that would require employers to pay overtime in the most ambitious government intervention on wages in a decade. And it doesn’t need Congress’s permission.

As early as this week, the Labor Department could propose a rule that would raise the current overtime threshold — $23,660 – to as much as $52,000, extending time and a half overtime pay to millions of American workers. The rule has already come under fire from business and Republican opponents who say it will kill jobs and force employers to cut hours for salaried employees.

“The minimum wage they can’t do,” said Bill Samuel, director of legislative affairs for the AFL-CIO. “This is probably the most significant step they can take to raise wages for millions of workers.”

Congressional Republicans are gearing up for a major battle against raising the overtime threshold. The House Education and the Workforce subcommittee will devote much of a scheduled June 10 hearing on federal wage and hour standards to the overtime rule, even if it isn’t yet released. Sen. Lamar Alexander, chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee, said the rule—sight unseen—“seems engineered to make it as unappealing as possible to be an employer creating jobs in this country.”

The business lobby, which is currently battling in two court venues what it calls the National Labor Relations Board’s “ambush elections rule” streamlining union elections, is likely to devote at least as many resources to fight the overtime rule.

Randel Johnson, senior vice president for labor at the Chamber of Commerce, warned Labor Secretary Tom Perez in a Feb. 11 letter that any changes to existing overtime rules “threaten to upend years of settled law, create tremendous confusion, and have a significantly disruptive effect on millions of workplaces.”

By law, any salaried worker who earns below a threshold set by the Labor Department must receive overtime. The current threshold of $23,660 lies below the poverty line for a family four. The proposed rule is expected to raise that to somewhere between $45,000 and $52,000—closer to the median household income—greatly expanding the pool of Americans who qualify for overtime pay.

The overtime threshold is not indexed to inflation and has been updated only once since 1975. It covers 12 percent of salaried workers. Boosting the threshold to $50,440 would bring it back in line with the 1975 threshold, after inflation. By one estimate that would give somewhere between five to ten million workers a raise.

Some workers above the salary threshold also qualify for overtime pay under current law. But the historic shift from a manufacturing-based economy to a service economy has reduced their number because white collar workers—defined quite expansively—are exempt. The forthcoming overtime rule is expected to tighten up that definition.

Under the current rules, the white collar exemption excludes “executive, administrative and professional” employees from receiving overtime pay, which means, for example, that a secretary will sometimes be ineligible for overtime pay. Employers routinely avoid paying overtime to lower-wage workers such as store managers or fast food shift supervisors, and even to some non-supervisory workers by giving them discrete, only nominally supervisory responsibilities.

“It’s hard to believe that somebody making $30,000 is a supervisor,” said Daniel Hamermesh, an economist at the University of Texas at Austin, who has done extensive research on overtime. “At this point, I don’t think even our regulations are in line with the original intent of the law.” Hamermesh said raising the threshold was “an absolute no brainer.”

One key concern about expanding overtime is that it could prompt employers to reduce the number of hours that individual employees work to avoid paying time-and-a-half.

McDonald’s, reportedly, already uses its computer system to record the hours worked by individual fast-food workers, and sends alerts telling franchisees to send this or that worker home when he or she is about to exceed 40 hours. In many instances reducing employees’ hours worked may endanger their eligibility for benefits.

Business groups carry that reasoning further, saying the rule will reduce employment. Aloysius Hogan, a senior fellow at the conservative Competitive Enterprise Institute, said it will have a “job killing effect.” Hogan said businesses will be incentivized to lay off higher-paid executives and replace them with lower-paid workers. The National Retail Federation, a likely leader in the battle against expanded overtime, last

month issued a study that came to a similar conclusion. On its release NRF senior vice president for Governor Relations David French said the rule would “hollow out middle-management careers and middle-class opportunities for millions of workers.”

But Hamermesh said that to whatever extent employers reduced hours to avoid overtime the result would be more job creation, not less, since someone else must hired to perform that work. Jared Bernstein, an economic adviser to Vice President Joe Biden during President Barack Obama’s first term, added that for many workers reduced hours would be a plus: “Their salary is the same but they have more time with their families.”

The Obama administration’s interest in updating overtime rules can be traced to November 2013, when Bernstein, by then a senior fellow at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, and Ross Eisenbrey, vice president of the Economic Policy Institute, presented a paper on the subject to the Labor Department. The following March President Obama issued a memorandum noting that overtime regulations “have not kept up with our modern economy” and instructing the Labor department to draft revisions.

Both Eisenbrey and Bernstein voiced optimism that the administration will have time to review public comments on the proposed rule and issue a final rule before the president leaves office. But that’s not likely to happen without a fight.

When Obama issued his memorandum last year, House Education and the Workforce Committee Chairman John Kline and subcommittee chairman Tim Walberg issued a statement saying “executive memos and unilateral actions cannot provide the income security our struggling families need.” Republicans, they said, had long recognized the need to update the Fair Labor Standards Act, but they warned the rule should not be “just another political distraction from the president’s failed policies.” If the response to the “ambush elections” rule is any guide, there will be litigation against the overtime rule and at least one attempt by the Republican Congress to block its implementation.

The fight is already spilling over into the 2016 presidential contest. In announcing his candidacy May 30 former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley called for “overtime pay for overtime work.” Sen. Bernie Sanders did the same in his May 26 kickoff speech in Burlington, Vt., calling it a “ scandal” that “millions of American employees, often earning less than $30,000 a year, work 50 or 60 hours a week— and earn no overtime.”

Thus far the Republican field is somewhat dismissive of the overtime issue. When asked to comment on the forthcoming rule Rick Tyler, Sen. Ted Cruz’s national spokesperson, replied in an e-mail, “Overtime? [Who’s] working overtime anymore since Obamacare? People are not even getting full time.”

Stuart Stevens, a top strategist for Mitt Romney’s 2012 campaign, echoed that sentiment. “It’s just not a solution to a larger problem [of] the economy,” he said. “I think the fact that so few people can get full time jobs is a lot more pressing than overtime.”

But a spokesman for Dr. Ben Carson addressed the overtime rule more directly. “I don’t think anyone has offered any compelling evidence that a new labor department overtime regulation is warranted,” he said.

attorney Joseph Arnone acknowledged the “long history here” and said he was investigating the allegations.

“He has proved himself to be extraordinarily resourceful in perpetuating his schemes,” U.S. Magistrate Judge Elizabeth Stafford said last week in keeping Street locked up while he awaits trial.

Street told the FBI that he decided to assume Stratton’s identity after reading about the former Green Beret running a marathon, according to a court filing. He obtained diplomas, transcripts and a U.S. Military Academy class ring in Stratton’s name, the FBI said.

The white coat had Stratton’s name and the name of a University of Michigan medical clinic.

“He was at U of M, saw the lab coat laying around and he picked it up. He’s just an opportunist. If he sees something, he takes it and takes on that role,” said Robert Antal, a Plymouth Township police detective.

In 1985, Street told the News that the Tigers tryout was a turning point.

Beyond Lyme, new illnesses, FACES OF more reason to watch for ticks CARSON

The Carson Center for Human Services Celebrating 50 Years of Real Help with Real Life 1963-2013 They pronounced me dead at the scene. For more than a month after my car hit the tree, I think I must have been deciding whether to start a second life.

I was in a coma. Maybe I was thinking about coming back to life. I’m glad I came back. I still had nine months to do before I really came out into the world. I spent those nine months with all the good nurses in the hospital.

Those people are like the best mothers there are. I came out with a new face—all the bones in the old one had been broken. I came out using my brain in a whole new way, too—after my head hit so hard.

I still remember my old life, and I miss it. I finally got a job at a supermarket. I wish I could have my old construction job. I remember smoking weed and drinking. That was fun, but it isn’t my life anymore. I can drive again. I think about going too fast, and how quickly a life you love can end, when the road bends and you can’t do it fast enough. You thought you had it all under control, but you didn’t. And you never will again. I drive slowly now. I do everything much more slowly. I learned from my Traumatic Brain Injury group at the Carson Center that this is the way it has to go—slowly, one step at a time.

I want to apologize to you. I am hard to understand.

My speech was affected by the injury. Also, I say things impulsively, and I might have hurt your feelings, but I can’t remember. Not remembering is part of it. So, please forgive me. That’s the best way, I think. To tell you that I can’t really tell for sure if I’ve done the wrong thing, and how it is when your brain is injured. I will go slow, and you will know, and I think it will go alright.

By LAURAN NEERGAARD AP Medical Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — Lyme disease makes the headlines but there are plenty of additional reasons to avoid tick bites.

New research highlights the latest in a growing list of tickborne threats — a distant relative of Lyme that's easy to confuse with other illnesses.

Monday's study suggests a kind of bacteria with an unwieldy name — Borrelia miyamotoi — should be on the radar when people in Lymeendemic areas get otherwise unexplained summertime fevers. It's one of several recently discovered diseases linked to ticks in different parts of the country, a reminder to get tick-savvy no matter where you live.

"People need to be aware of what tick-borne diseases are in their area," says Dr. Peter J. Krause of Yale University, a specialist who reviewed the research. "And they should know how to avoid ticks."

WHAT'S THIS NEW INFECTION? The first U.S. case was reported in 2013 in New Jersey, an 80-year-old cancer survivor who over four months became increasingly confused, had difficulty walking and lost 30 pounds. Doctors found spiral-shaped bacteria in her spinal fluid that looked like Lyme but caused a relapsing fever more closely related to some other tick-borne illnesses.

While treatable by antibiotics — the woman recovered — doctors know little about B. miyamotoi.

Monday's study offers some clues. Researchers with Imugen Inc., a Massachusetts testing lab, tested blood samples from patients in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey and New York whose doctors suspected tick-borne illnesses and used that lab. During the 2013 and 2014 tick seasons the lab found 97 cases of the new infection. That's roughly 1 percent of samples tested and close to the lab's detection of a betterknown tick disease named anaplasmosis, researchers reported in Annals of Internal Medicine. More research is needed to determine just how prevalent the disease is.

Researchers then analyzed medical records from 51 of those patients, and found symptoms typically include a high fever, severe headache, chills and blood abnormalities — decreases in infection-fighting and blood-clotting cells. About a quarter of patients were hospitalized, although Imugen medical direc-

Questions About Sleep Questions answered by: Dr. Neil Bach Baystate Regional Sleep Program Q. After reading and hearing so much in the news lately about sleep, I’ve become concerned regarding the sleep patterns of my own family. Why does there seem to be an increased interest in sleep and why is so important to our health?

A. This interest reflects the abundance of research studies linking sleep disorders with an increased number of significant diseases, among them hypertension, acid reflux, attention disorders, depression, diabetes, heart disease, stroke and memory disorders.

Most recently, the relationship between sleep apnea and dementia has received national attention in studies, demonstrating that effective treatment of sleep apnea alleviated the loss of cognitive function.

IT'S NOT THE ONLY NEW WORRY Two new tick-borne viruses were recently discovered in the Midwest, and neither has a specific treatment.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has confirmed nine cases of Heartland virus, and one death, with other reports under investigation, said CDC entomologist Roger Nasci.

Symptoms include fever, fatigue, headaches, muscle aches, diarrhea and low blood counts. Identified in Missouri, the virus also was reported in Tennessee and Oklahoma, although the Lone Star tick that spreads it lives around the East and Southeast.

Then there's the Bourbon virus, with similar symptoms, discovered last year after the death of a Kansas man and named for his home county. Another patient, in Oklahoma, recovered. The Kansas man had found an embedded tick days before getting sick, and CDC researchers are searching for the culprit species.

HOW MANY DISEASES CAN TICKS SPREAD? The CDC counts 14 illnesses linked to specific U.S. tick species, not including the Bourbon virus still being studied.

Lyme is the most common, with about 30,000 cases reported each year, although CDC has estimated that the true number could be 10 times higher. It's too early to know how widespread the newly discovered illnesses are. But people can be infected with more than one tick-borne illness simultaneously, complicating care.

NO REASON TO STAY INDOORS Health officials stress that it's important to enjoy the outdoors and get physical activity. Infections are more common in some parts of the country than others, and there are effective See Ticks, Page 7

Problem drinking affects 33M U.S. adults

By LINDSEY TANNER AP Medical Writer CHICAGO (AP) — Alcohol problems affect almost 33 million adults and most have never sought treatment, according to a government survey that suggests rates have increased in recent years.

The study is the first national estimate based on a new term, "alcohol use disorder," in a widely used psychiatric handbook that was updated in 2013.

Five things to know about the research published Wednesday in the journal JAMA Psychiatry:

HEAVY DRINKING Nearly 40 percent of adults surveyed said they had engaged in binge drinking — downing at least five drinks in a day at least once in the past year, up from 31 percent in the earlier survey. Even heavier drinking also increased but was less common.

WHO'S DRINKING? Drinking problems were most prevalent among men, whites and Native Americans.

Low-income adults, those younger than 30 and those who never married also relatively high rates. Problem drinking also was more common among city dwellers than those in rural areas, while the West and Midwest had higher rates than other regions.

DEFINING ALCOHOL PROBLEMS

The revised handbook, the DSM-5, defines STIGMA & DENIAL problem drinkers or those with the disorder as people with at least two of 11 symptoms, Dr. George Koob, director of the federal including drinking that harms performance at agency that did the survey, said it's unclear work, school or home, frequent hangovers why problem drinking has increased but that and failed attempts to limit drinking.

—Shower soon after being outdoors to spot ticks more easily, and check pets that can carry ticks inside.

About Sleep Q. My mother was an insomniac for many years before she sought help from a doctor. Could this symptom signify other health issues?

A. Insomnia may be the result of other medical conditions such as anxiety, depression, chronic lung disease, heart failure, degenerative arthritis and acid reflux. Also, in women more than in men, insomnia may be a sign of sleep apnea. Some prescription medications may also cause sleep disruption.

Restless legs syndrome, which occurs during the evening, may continue into the night as excessive leg movements disrupting sleep.

Q. While I don’t consider myself an insomniac, I have had some problems falling asleep recently and turned to over-the-counter medications for help. What is known about over the counter, as well as prescription sleep medications?

A. The use of over-the-counter (OTC) sleep aids may help you for a few nights, but the benefits are often short lived and there is a great potential for troubling side effects. These OTC sleep aids frequently have sedating antihistamines as their main ingredient, which may cause morning sleepiness. They may be especially hazardous in the elderly, because they may provoke confusion, falls, and heart irregularities. The herbal remedies valerian and chamomile are generally safe and may help, but are of unproven benefit in studies. Melatonin is frequently used, but there is also minimal evidence in studies that it helps with insomnia. Melatonin, however, has been shown to be very effective for jet lag, delayed sleep phase disorder (quite common in teens) and other sleep disorders.

Prescription medications, such as Ambien and Lunesta, may have short-term benefit, but carry a significant risk of parasomnias (defined as undesirable behavioral events that accompany sleep), such as sleepwalking. The effectiveness of prescription sleeping pills has been shown to be far less enduring than a form of counseling, known as cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I).

Establishing sound “sleep hygiene” is essential. This includes considering the adverse effects of smoking, alcohol, caffeine, poor sleep environment, excessive light or mental stimulation before bedtime, and exercising too closely to sleep time.

Q. Almost every day I read or hear commercials for mattresses and how this one or that one is the best for a good night’s sleep. How important is our mattress and is there really a best kind to purchase?

A. This is a highly individualized and subjective issue.

Consumer Reports recently undertook a review of mattresses that merits reading.

Q. My mom lives with us and now that she is older gets up at 5 a.m., sometimes even earlier. We have two teenagers and a younger child. Our teenagers tend to go to sleep later and often sleep until 10 a.m. or later on the weekends. Are these sleep habits unusual?

A. Teens are somewhat programmed to have what we call a delayed sleep phase, meaning they go to bed later and get up later. Many schools districts are responding to this by starting the school day later. On the other hand, as people like your mother age, the opposite may occur and they develop an advanced sleep phase characterized by going to bed earlier and waking earlier.

Treatment is available if either the delayed or advanced sleep phases become disruptive in one’s life. This includes manipulation of the timing of light exposure and the use of evening melatonin as a “phase shifter” for teens with delayed sleep phase. Both options are best coordinated by a sleep specialist, as the potential for complications exists in both of these groups.

Moreover, underlying medical, mental health or sleep disorders need to be considered first, as well as reviewing “sleep hygiene.”

Q. What is the current state of knowledge regarding the “ideal” amount of sleep?

A. For the longest time, it has been suggested that adults require 8 hours of sleep a night. Recent data suggest that a slightly lower amount of 7 to 7 ½ hours is also conducive to

—If you've been in tick-infested areas, carefully do a full-body check, including under arms, behind knees, ears and hair.

—When in the woods, walk in the center of trails, avoiding brush and leaf litter.

—Use bug repellent with DEET on exposed skin, or wear long pants and long sleeves.

—Discourage ticks around homes by keeping grass cut; removing leaf litter and brush; and placing a barrier of wood chips or gravel between lawns and wooded areas.

Continued from Page 6 good health for some people. Teens need 9 hours of sleep on average, but often achieve much less for a variety of reasons.

Many adults are chronically sleep deprived as a consequence of work, societal and family responsibilities with a resulting proven risk of accidents, as well as hypertension, diabetes and obesity.

Q. I’ve heard many tales about how to get a good night’s sleep, such as drinking a warm glass of milk before bed. Are there ways to help ensure you get a good night’s sleep?

A. Sound sleep hygiene and consistent sleep habits are crucial. Developing a consistent routine of retiring for sleep and arising at the same times every day is a good start. Make sure that your bedroom environment is conducive to sleep – it should be cool, dark and quiet with no light or sound disrupters.

Television viewing should ideally be excluded from the bedroom. On the food front, you should avoid heavy meals before bedtime, as well as caffeine, alcohol or nicotine. Yet another good reason to quit smoking! The timing of vigorous exercise is also important, as it may increase the body temperature if undertaken within 4 hours of bedtime. This may negatively impact one’s normal ability to fall asleep. On the other hand, exercise before that window of time will help to promote sleep. A warm, but not too hot, shower one hour or so before bedtime will help promote temperature changes conducive to sleep onset and maintenance.

Q. My spouse’s snoring sometimes wakes me up. I’ve heard snoring may signify health problems. Is this true? Is testing required?

A. Your husband’s snoring may be a sign of sleep apnea. In sleep apnea, airflow is repeatedly interrupted. If your sleep partner has gaps in their breathing or crescendos of snoring culminating in a choking or gasping noise, they may have sleep apnea.

This disorder impacts the quantity and quality of one’s sleep and has been shown to lead to a wide variety of serious health issues, such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and stroke. A more immediate issue is the hazard of excessive daytime sleepiness, with risk of accidents on the road and in the workplace. Snoring itself, without sleep apnea, has been determined to be associated with increased hypertension and stroke risk.

In individuals without more complex chronic diseases, the diagnosis of sleep apnea is made with a home sleep study, which is a portable kit that is returned for analysis the next day.

For patients who have diseases such as congestive heart failure, COPD, stroke or neuromuscular diseases, other sleeprelated breathing disorders need to be considered, such as hypoventilation with sleep and central sleep apnea. The effective treatment of these may require more elaborate therapy than that for sleep apnea. A diagnostic sleep study, conducted in a hospital sleep department, is indicated in these diseases and allows for more elaborate and safer monitoring of a wide range of parameters, such as carbon dioxide levels. Similarly, sleep studies of children are conducted in the monitored setting of a sleep department.

If you suspect that you may have a sleep disorder, consulta-

GRADUATION DAY

White Oak School Class of 2015

Wall Street

Continued from Page 4 And aides say Clinton already has a strong record on some financial reform issues the left cares about, including staunch support for the Dodd-Frank financial reform law and endorsement of getting rid of the “carried interest loophole” that allows private equity and some hedge fund managers to pay the capital gains rate on a large portion of their regular compensation. Aides also note her early support for cracking down on financial derivatives and addressing abuses in the subprime mortgage market.

“Hillary Clinton’s fought financial fraud and consumer abuses throughout her career. In the Senate, she’s stood up to big banks, worked to rein in executive pay, pushed to close the carried interest loophole and fought to stop financial schemes that put families at risk,” said campaign spokesman Jesse Ferguson. “While her commitment to taking on this fight is clear from her record, she has been working on her policy plans and will have much more to say about this, and other issues in this campaign, after her launch speech this weekend.”

But conversations about what to include in a Wall Street reform platform always have an undercurrent: the impact on big donors.

“Is it always in the backs of people’s minds? Sure,” said one person close to the campaign. “But in the end she is going to do what she thinks is right and what is authentic to her.”

Another donor said it is “no accident” Clinton has veered mostly away from Wall Street issues so far. “She’s only going to do it if she really has to and at some point she will have to.” The donor also noted that at some point she will have to weigh in on Obama’s push for a big trade deal with Asia, an agreement opposed by the left and beloved on Wall Street.

Clinton has made a couple of moves in the direction of the populist, Wall Street-bashing wing of the Democratic Party that has been ascendant in recent years under the leadership of Warren.

In Iowa, Clinton bashed the low tax rates paid by hedge fund managers and the high salaries of America’s CEOs when compared with those of average workers. This past weekend, she lent her prestige to the movement pushing for a $15 minimum wage, a move many on Wall Street think would harm economic growth.

Clinton’s Wall Street backers have mostly taken these early comments in stride. “We get it,” has been the mantra. But with Sanders gaining some traction in Iowa and O’Malley basing his campaign on knocking Clinton for her Wall Street ties, the industry is now braced for more flak from the former secretary of state. And “We get it” could easily turn into “What the heck is this?”

“There is no question she is going to have to at least sound a little more leftist,” said one Clinton supporter at a large Wall Street bank who did not want to go on record speaking about the campaign. “Does she really need to give a speech calling for the breakup of Citigroup or other banks? Probably not. But we really don’t know.”

Progressive groups and ardent financial reformers, meanwhile, are counting on increased pressure to smoke out Clinton on the issues they care most about. And they are withholding praise until she does so.

“So far, what we’ve heard from Secretary Clinton on these issues has all been very general,” said Simon Johnson, a professor at MIT and former chief economist at the International Monetary Fund who is a leading intellectual driver of the financial reform movement calling for radical changes to banks. “But the more Sanders and O’Malley raise these issues the more pressure will rise on her to offer very specific and detailed plans. We don’t know where Secretary Clinton will wind up on this, and it is one of the bigger choices her team will have to make.”

O’Malley launched his campaign recently by ripping into the lack of criminal charges against bankers during the Obama administration and taking on Clinton’s ties to banks, Goldman Sachs in particular, suggesting her presidency would be no different than that of Jeb Bush.

“Tell me how it is that not a single Wall Street CEO was convicted of a crime related to the 2008 economic meltdown. Not. A. Single. One,” O’Malley thundered. “Goldman Sachs is one of the biggest repeat-offending investment banks in America. Recently, the CEO of Goldman Sachs let his employees know that he’d be just fine with either Bush or Clinton. I bet he would.”

Sanders has sounded similar themes, saying in his campaign announcement that “it is time to break up the largest financial institutions in the country. Wall Street cannot continue to be an island unto itself, gambling trillions in risky financial instruments while expecting the public to bail it out. If a bank is too big to fail, it is too big to exist.”

Few expect Clinton to match these rhetorical flourishes. “Don’t expect pitchforks,” one Democratic donor said. But many of the left want her to be clear about how she would toughen Dodd-Frank — not just defend it — and reduce the influence of the nation’s largest banks while addressing growing income inequality.

Warren has made it clear that her support for Clinton’s candidacy — considered key to big turnout among progressives — will depend on the Democratic front-runner taking strong stands on the issues the Massachusetts senator cares about. And vague platitudes about fairness and defending Dodd-Frank are not likely to be good enough.

Championship blast

By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer HOLYOKE – Tick … tick … BOOM! The second-seeded Westfield Bombers stormed out of the locker room and exploded past top seed, Chicopee Comp, 3-0 in the Western Massachusetts Division 1 high school boys’ volleyball finals Monday night at Holyoke Community College.

The Bombers swept the Colts, 25-9, 25-13, 25-16 to claim the team’s first championship title.

“This was the dream we had all year,” Westfield High boys’ volleyball varsity head coach Tyler Wingate said.

For Chicopee Comp (17-2), it was a nightmare.

Comp captain Sean Buxton delivered a kill for the match’s opening point. It was the one and only lead the Colts would enjoy all night.

After taking a 1-0 lead, Chicopee Comp committed a service error and the game was tied 1-all.

Westfield (19-2) went up by two points early. Comp tied it 4-4 before Isaiah Headley (6 kills, 11 digs, ace) struck a point with a kill to reclaim the lead for the Bombers. Although Headley was solid at the net all night, it was his serving which made a huge difference.

“Isaiah’s serving was off the charts,” coach Wingate said of the senior Bomber, who spent endless hours fine-tuning his serve before the big night.

With Headley serving, Westfield went on a 9-0 run to go ahead 20-7.

Comp was reeling. The Colts tried to defuse the Bombers with two timeouts in the first game to no avail.

Manny Golob (14 kills, 10 digs, 2 aces) ended the set with a kill.

It was more of the same in the middle frame.

Chicopee Comp attempted to throw Westfield off balance with a soft touch here or there.

The Colts tried to smash the ball with a ferocious overhand punch from time to time. There was always one Bomber or

Golob skied high, and added the finishing touches with finesse like when he put a nice touch on the ball, one-handing a floater to the opposite right corner of the court to give the team a 19-12 lead in the second set, or when he used sheer power to hammer home a kill for a 23-12 lead a short time later.

“We were just playing like we were in control, like it was our game,” Golob said. “We had them on their heels, and we just kept pushing.”

Westfield completed a 7-0 run – fueled once again by the low, solid serves of Headley – as John Bucko (5 kills) converged with teammates for one of his four blocks. The Bombers led 24-12.

Comp managed a point, but that’s all.

The third set was a mere formality as Chicopee Comp imploded. The Colts were so rattled that they were becoming entangled with the ball like a bad juggling act, also hitting it out of bounds and into the net.

“One of the big things is that everyone said they were going to be there,” said the team’s spirited leader, Eric Shilyuk.

“Then every time I looked to the stands, you could see everyone there sitting in

black.”

Shilyuk said he felt the throng of students, friends, family members, and alumni overwhelmed Chicopee Comp.

The Bombers’ fans roared with delight.

Comp settled down to string together a 4-0 run midway through the final set, rallying to within three points of a tie, 14-11. Up to that point, Westfield had suffocated the Colts, holding to them to no

more than two straight points.

The Bombers kept the opposition from gaining any momentum though as Shilyuk (20 assists, 4 blocks, ace) converged with Bucko for a block.

Even Lady Luck was rooting for Westfield when Golob smacked a serve into the net.

The ball rolled up the threads of the net, and trickled over for an ace and a 20-13 advantage.

If Chicopee Comp did not know it’s night and postseason run was finished before that point, it did then. The Bombers finished off the Colts in Game Three, 25-16.

“I think we just wanted it more than them,” Golob said.

Westfield will now advance to the state tournament. Details will be announced in the coming days.

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.

WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS DIVISION 4

Tigers’ fairy tale chase continues

thewestfieldnews.com

By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Although it was a heartbreaking day for several area baseball teams, one Cinderella squad wrote another chapter in its fairy tale run.

No. 12 Westfield Voc-Tech, which began its tournament run with a stunning 6-0 win over fifth-seeded McCann Tech, shocked No. 4 St. Mary’s, 2-1, Monday in a

Western Massachusetts Division 4 at Westfield Middle School North.

Voc-Tech jumped out to an early lead, and rode the strong arm of ace Jake Parsons for the second straight game.

Parsons tossed a complete game 3-hitter. He struck out 10 batters and walked three.

The senior pitcher also delivered at the plate, driving in one run and scoring another.

Matthew Hannoush allowed just four hits on the mound in six innings pitched for St. Mary.

“Westfield VocationalTechnical High School was dominant in the 1960s, winning multiple Bi-County championships,” Voc-Tech coach Kyle Dulude said. “We felt that pride in our school today with a great win in the western Mass. tournament. As a number 12 seed, we believed in ourselves and really enjoyed our recent success – a great time to be working on all cylinders. We have great kids and a great program.”

In Division 1 action, seventh-seeded West Springfield upended No. 2 Westfield in a 9-8 thriller at Bullens Field.

West Side (14-8) scored seven runs in the sixth inning, but Westfield (14-7) rallied in the bottom half of the inning to tie the game at 8-all. The Terriers knocked in the gamewinner late, and knocked the Bombers out of the postseason.

In Division 2, No. 7

Hampshire’s Nick Batchelder tossed a two-hitter, and drove in the winning

run in the seventh inning with a base hit.

It was the first time all season that Southwick (18-3) was shut out.

“It was a tough-luck loss,” said Rams’ coach Tim Karetka, “but credit Hampshire. They made all the plays that mattered; they got

the hit that mattered so they move on.”

Travis Pirello (double) and Andrew Mitchell (single) had the lone hits for Southwick.

Annie’s Mailbox

By KATHY MITCHELL and MARCY SUGAR

What do you suggest?

Dear Annie: Graduation is coming up, and I don’t know what to do. You see, most of the seniors aren’t qualified to graduate at all. Some of them have been truant for half of the years they were here. At least 15 seniors were absent from class for their entire senior year, and at least 20 percent lack gradelevel reading and writing skills. For some, college will be impossible.

Every year, we have “alumni” who return to school because they either graduated without necessary credentials or flunked out of college and need academic help. I never give passing grades to kids who don’t show up to class, but if they perform some token service, the school graduates them anyway.

Should I go to this year’s graduation ceremony? I haven’t gone in two years, and when asked, I say why. Sometimes I worry that I appear unkind, because this is a low-income, troubled neighborhood and high school graduation means a lot to these families. I just don’t like what I see as a deception because either the parents haven’t made sure the kids go to school, or the school lies to the kids and tells them everything is fine. What do you suggest? -- Teacher Dear Teacher: There is only so much you can do, and you are already doing it. We understand that you don’t feel it is fair for kids to graduate when they haven’t done the work, shown up for class or achieved the required standards. You are already giving these kids flunking grades. But unless the other teachers and the school administration are willing to hold them back, they will graduate anyway. And your school is not the only one that operates in this fashion.

While it serves no purpose for parents or kids to believe graduation will happen whether or not it’s deserved, for some, the humiliation of not graduating doesn’t spur them to achieve more. It makes them give up. Ask yourself what you hope to accomplish as an educator, and then seek the best way to achieve it.

Dear Annie: I have a friend who, after lots of medical assistance, was finally able to get pregnant and have a little girl 18 months ago. Now, with further assistance, she is pregnant with twins.

It’s exciting but expensive to give a baby shower. What is the proper etiquette? I really like her, and she was the matron of honor at my wedding three years ago. We worked together then and now have lunch once every month or so, but we are no longer super-close. -- Second Baby Shower?

Dear Second: Are you asking whether you should host twice or attend twice? You are not obligated to do either, but it is especially onerous to host a second baby shower, so you are off the hook for that. Many women opt not to have second baby showers, because they already were provided with plenty of nice things that can be handed down to a second child. With twins, however, the need is greater, so a second shower is understandable. But it should not overburden people who gave generously the first time. Guests should include only close family, very close friends and those who were not invited to the first baby shower. If you choose to attend a second shower, you might consider a token gift rather than a pricey item.

HINTS FROM HELOISE KEY RESPONSES MAY UNLOCK THE BOX Dear Readers: A reader asked about how to find out if SAFETY-DEPOSIT BOX KEYS found in a deceased parent’s belongings were current, and what bank they belonged to. Here are a few suggestions: Sheri and Steve S. in Maryland wrote: “Look in the decedent’s bills to see if any banks are charging rent for a safe-deposit box.”

Arnold W. in New York said: “Start with the person’s lawyer, if there is one. Call or go to the bank of the deceased, if you can. Stop at a locksmith, who may be able to identify the key.”

Fritz. A., who practiced many years of probate law in Texas, wrote: “If the safe-deposit box is active, the bank will send an annual renewal notice, so that would answer the question. In some states, the bank is required to stencil its nine-digit routing number on each key. Any bank can decode this number. Put this number into an Internet search program, and it should bring up the bank’s name.

Executors should inquire at the state’s unclaimed-property office to see if the decedent had unclaimed property. Banks turn over the contents of abandoned safe-deposit boxes to this official.

“There is an excellent website: www.naupa.org (the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators). This information is available without charge.”

Thank you, readers! There is a lot of good and bad information on the Internet. Please stop and think before using some of it. When in doubt, go (or call) your library, which can help you find the help you need. There are many professional organizations that offer pro bono (free) advice to folks who can’t afford such. Don’t try to do all of this by yourself.

Being an executor isn’t an easy job. Try to do the right thing, and follow the law and the wishes of the person whose will you are handling. -- Hugs, Heloise

HOROSCOPE

By Jaqueline Bigar

DOG EAT DOUG

Brian Anderson

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, June 9, 2015: This year you will need to recognize that you sometimes say one thing yet do another. Because you might not be aware of this behavior, you should listen to feedback from others. Your temper is close to the surface, and it would be wise to learn to share your feelings before they turn into anger. If you are single, in the next few months you are likely to meet someone who knocks your socks off. This person will have a strong effect on your life. If you are attached, you might need to be more in touch with your feelings and be more aware of your sweetie’s response.

PISCES can be touchy at times.

ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Try not to lose control in a discussion where someone considers him- or herself to be above the majority of people. Follow your intuition, and test out any solutions in your head before you verbalize them. Curb statements that could cause a problem.

Tonight: Play it low-key.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Remain focused on your objectives, and don’t allow any uproar to distract you. Addressing one item at a time will be the best way to proceed.

You might have to switch gears when you least expect to, and it could add to the present confusion. Tonight: Where your friends are.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Tension is likely to build as an authority figure starts causing a problem and creating additional pressure. You might be past the point of worrying about this person’s wishes, but that could cause you a major problem where you least want it. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You might want to maintain a lower profile than usual. Anger might rise to the surface, but be smart and don’t reveal anything that you’d rather not discuss. Financial gain is possible if you can keep your eye on the big picture. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH It doesn’t take a genius to see how stressed out many of your friends and loved ones are. Listen carefully, and try to reconcile all the different opinions. One-on-one relating will result in a different reaction from what you might have anticipated. Tonight: Work through a problem.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH When you try to initiate a conversation with a parent or higher-up, you could discover that there is a problem. You might feel as if this person is using you as his or her punching bag.

Use your instincts, and you won’t make a bad decision. Tonight: Vanish while you can.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Your focus and determination continue to be your strong suits. Others might want to play devil’s advocate and go into deep reflection, but you will get the job done. Tension is likely to emerge because of what you must do. Tonight: Put your feet up and relax.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH An interesting conversation with a loved one or someone you are financially involved with is likely to spur your imagination. A discussion with an expert or an older friend will point you toward a positive path. Follow through, and don’t question yourself.

Tonight: Be a duo.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You could be juggling more than you want to handle. You’ll see an important relationship or a matter involving your home experience some ups and downs. You might find it hard to be present, especially as others seem to be demanding! Tonight: Go for what you want.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Keep communication moving. You might feel as if you have too much information. You will want to change your approach with several people, especially if they are loose cannons.

Listen to an associate who is argumentative, but wait to comment. Tonight: Relax.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You might want to revise your thinking about a risk for now. Your creativity easily translates into ingenuity when dealing with a touchy associate or loved one. Don’t get your funds involved in any of your dealings, except when paying for lunch! Tonight: Pay

Cryptoquip

Crosswords

bills.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You might want to come to a better understanding of what is happening with a loved one. You could be overwhelmed by this person’s attitude, which is likely to be cantankerous and difficult. Go off and do something just for you. Tonight: Let the games begin!
