Local veteran finds therapy through art

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD — After Marine Corps Sgt. Steven Jones returned home from Iraq, he couldn’t shake his recurring feelings of sadness and hopelessness.

Jones, who served in the Marine Corps Reserve for eight years, had dealt with the emotional trauma that most veterans face in wartime.

During his time in Iraq from 2004 to 2005, he directed air support in the Iraq region, helping to orchestrate where aircraft were and where they needed to be. His experience there included two of the deadliest incidents in the Iraq War–second battle of Fallujah beginning in Nov. 2004, and Jan. 25, 2005, when the US had lost a helicopter that was to pass through Jones’ airspace.

During the second battle of Fallujah, Jones heard the sounds of war. Men screaming for their mothers, panic, bullets ripping through the air and ripping through his brethren. He wasn’t there to see the events, but only experienced them through sound from the battlefield, as he attempted to provide support for his fellow troops. 95 US troops died during the battle.

“I had 7 minutes to get a helicopter off the ground or they weren’t coming back alive,” Jones

said. “And you couldn’t get everyone back alive, especially in the battle of Fallujah.

“I couldn’t see what was going on so my visual was what my mind imagined, and in some ways that may even be worse because I’m just imagining what is going on there.”

Then, on Jan. 25, a helicopter carrying 31 US troops came through the Anbar region of Iraq, and were supposed to reach the airspace that Jones was responsible for and contact him. When Jones didn’t hear from them, the panic began to set in. Jones said the requests on their status filtered to him and he had no clue where they were. The crews began searching for the helicopter, hoping that it wasn’t down. After all, as Jones said, it wasn’t uncommon for helicopters to fly through an airspace and not contact the one in charge of the area.

But the helicopter was found crashed in the Anbar region. All 31 on board died. It was the deadliest single incident for the US in the postwar efforts.

Jones dealt with these deaths and struggled, but continued to push through, eventually finishing his tour.

When Jones returned back home the feelings of hopelessness and sadness began to creep in, and

A helping hand needed at MusicFest Westfield

By LORI SZEPELAK Correspondent WESTFIELD – As organizers of Westfield on Weekends gear up for the third summer season hosting MusicFest Westfield, a call is out for volunteers to help out on the evenings of each concert.

A minimum of 12 volunteers per event would be ideal, however, that would require each person to work the entire evening, according to Tricia Kiefer, volunteer coordinator, Westfield on Weekends (WOW).

“It would be great for us to think about shifts for an hour or two long,” said Kiefer. “So the more people we have, the better it will be.”

MusicFest Westfield kicks off on June 16 with Still Kickin’ with the Big City Horns, a 60’s and 70’s rock band featuring Westfield High School’s music director Patrick Kennedy on trumpet and vocals. Lexi Wege and Friends will open the show at 6 p.m.

MusicFest continues on July 21 with a national country act provided by KIX and iHeart Radio, and ends on Aug. 25 with Tusk, a Fleetwood Mac tribute band. Jeff & Sam, playing contemporary acoustic music, will open the show on Aug. 25 at 6 p.m. A local act has not been posted yet for the July 21 event.

Kiefer said that volunteers are needed to sell raffle tickets, popcorn and water and to help monitor the perimeter of the Green.

seemingly innocuous events and senses would trigger them.

“I would be driving to work, and by the three-county fair there’s a water treatment plant, and that smell would bring me back and I would think ‘these guys aren’t coming back’,” Jones said. “And I would be so hopeless, I wouldn’t even be able to lift my head up.”

Jones continued to struggle with these emotions, finding them creep up especially during the anniversaries of the incidents. He tried to get help through the Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA), but to no avail.

“I had trouble sleeping and went to the VA and they instantly wanted to put me on drugs and I didn’t want that so I left,” Jones said.

Jones continued to work, doing a job for C and S Wholesalers, while dealing internally with his emotions.

Then eventually, in the midst of it all, Jones went back to school.

He knew he was unhappy and wanted to change his career to help veterans like himself, so he began by pursuing a psychology degree at Holyoke Community College. While there, he had to go through what many college students do–the humanities.

This is where he first came in contact with art.

“Through the creation of art I

found that when I was feeling sad I could draw or paint and those feelings would go away,” Jones said. “And at that time I met a professor named Dean Nimmer, and he taught me to essentially put my feelings out on paper and canvas, instead of creating something in the real world, and he taught me abstract.

“He taught me that it’s not the end result that mattered, but the process of creating it that was important.”

Jones began using art as therapy, continuing to cope with his negative emotions and putting them on canvas, paper or any other surface that accepted art. He even began to deal with everyday stresses through out, finding out that it worked for those, too. And he also saw that other veterans in his class were experiencing the same benefits to art as he was.

This inspired him.

Jones decided to create Warrior’s Art Room, a nonprofit dedicated to helping veterans and their families through the creation of arts.

This may be painting, drawing, sculpture, poetry or music–the medium doesn’t matter. What matters is helping.

“I found through that method of painting and art I was healed of

Modeling and Talent Competition at Westfield Fair gets a makeover

By LORI SZEPELAK Correspondent WESTFIELD-Kimberlee Starsiak is taking the annual modeling and talent competition at the Westfield Fair to the next level this summer.

Starsiak, owner of All-Stars Dance Center on Root Road, knows the drill when it comes to competition for girls since she has been in business in the city for 21 years.

“I did the modeling and talent competition for years at the Westfield Fair,” she said, noting her first stage appearance was at the age of five.

Now at 45, Starsiak wants to build on the program that has always sought to provide girls of all ages with “confidence, pride and an amazing and rewarding experience.”

“My ultimate vision is to secure scholarship money for our pageant winner,” said Starsiak. “By establishing a scholarship from local companies, we can provide a deserving young lady a small foundation toward saving for her future educational endeavors.”

Starsiak has set a goal of raising $2,000 for this first year of spearheading the revamp of the competition which is slated Aug. 20 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Westfield Fair, 137 Russellville Road.

Last year's winners in the Westfield Fair modeling and talent competition included Hannah DiMauro, who received the Miss Star of Hope Award, Lillianna Nivar, Tiny Miss Westfield Fair, and Jordan Dunham, Miss Pioneer Valley.

“Last year there were only 13 girls in the competition,” said Starsiak. “We are getting the word out so hopefully more girls will participate.”

The competition is divided into four categories: formal, sportswear, talent and photo.

The Junior Division encompasses 0-3 years of age, 4-6, 7-9 and 10-12. The Senior Division encompasses 13-15 year-olds, 16-18, 19-21, and 22 years and

older.

For girls entering the “formal” category, Starsiak notes “Sunday Best is appropriate.”

Short dresses or tea length for the 12 and under age division is stressed. Age appropriate gowns or fancy dresses for the 13 and older age division is recommended.

The “sportswear” category should reflect “off the rack clothing,” said Starsiak, adding, “anything age appropriate goes, including back to school wear, tennis wear or short outfits.”

Girls interested in the “talent” category must limit their performance to a maximum of three minutes. A solo performance can include vocal, dance, twirling, instrumental, acting or reading poetry. Since a piano is not available, Starsiak noted that all music must be on CD or iPod cued and ready to play.

The “photo” category can be a 5 x 7 or 8 x 10 black and white or color photo; however, it must be submitted by Aug. 15 to be judged. Photos will be judged and then displayed at the fair.

There are also two titles to be won by the girls – Miss Pioneer Valley and Ms. Pioneer Valley.

“Miss Pioneer Valley is the highest score title of all four categories combined,” said

Starsiak. “This is the ultimate title.”

Starsiak noted that Miss Pioneer Valley is also asked to participate in as many volunteer projects as her schedule will allow during her title year.

“Some past title winners have participated in the Big E Parade, ringing a bell for the Salvation Army, serving food at local community centers, conducting food drives/toiletries drives for the community’s needy, and volunteering at the Shriners Children’s Hospital,” said Starsiak.

Miss Pioneer Valley receives a trophy, crown, banner, flowers and a prize package “fit for a princess,” according to Starsiak.

“The duties of the winner include being an ambassador of our community and striving to make it a better place to live by way of serving our community in loving and caring ways,” said Starsiak.

The newest title competition is Ms. Pioneer Valley, open to women age 30 and older. Those participating in this category are asked to take part in the formal and photo categories.

The winner will receive a trophy, crown, banner, flowers and a special prize package.

Pre-Workout

Post-Workout

You may have heard of “carbo-loading” before a race or endurance event- loading up on carbohydrate containing foods, i.e. pasta and pizza. The reason behind this common pre-workout event is that carbohydrates help to fuel your muscles during endurance activities. The amount of carbohydrates you should eat is dependent on the level of activity you will be performing. Someone running a half marathon, for example, will require more carbohydrates for energy than someone running two miles. Protein should be another component of a pre-workout snack/meal, especially if you plan on lifting weights. Exercise “damages” your muscle fibers, so providing your body with the building blocks for muscle, also known as amino acids, before a workout can be helpful.

Since eating right before a workout can cause gastrointestinal discomfort for some people, try eating 1-3 hours before a workout, depending on the quantity of food. If you plan on having a snack, you’ll likely feel energized after eating 1 hour before your workout. If you are planning on eating a meal before your

After a workout, your body’s energy stores are depleted (you’ve worked hard!).

Replenishing these stores is an important aspect of post-workout nutrition. Additionally, protein following a workout can help your muscles repair and build back up. Eating a combination of both lean protein (think turkey, chicken, fish, beans) and complex carbohydrates (think brown rice, whole grains or fruit) immediately after a workout is ideal.

Here are some meal and snack suggestions: • Salmon, brown rice and broccoli • Whole wheat pita with hummus • Vegetable omelets with ½ medium sweet potato • Low-fat chocolate milk • Slice whole wheat toast with nut butter • Smoothie (plain Greek yogurt with fruit) If you are interested in learning more about nutrition counseling sessions with a registered dietitian at Baystate Noble Hospital, please call 413-568-2811 ex: 5671 for more information.

ODDS & ENDS Treasure hunters to gather for celebration in New Mexico SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Searchers fixated with finding a treasure hidden in the mountains north of Santa Fe will converge in the city.

The Santa Fe New Mexican reports that people are expected to gather Saturday for “Fennboree” and a screening of the documentary, “Fenn’s Searchers.”

The annual gathering is inspired by author Forrest Fenn, who stated in his 2010 memoir that he had hidden a chest containing nearly $2 million in coins.

The treasure has drawn interest for years.

Randy Bilyeu, of Colorado, disappeared in January after telling family he planned to search for it.

Some critics have said the search should be stopped because of the dangerous terrain.

Organizers of “Fennboree” say they will honor Bilyeu with a moment of silence.

Jones has big visions for Warrior’s Art Room. He hopes to develop it one day into a studio for all of the arts, and eventually have more teachers and a place to display the art done by veterans.

The Miss Star of Hope winner will receive a trophy, crown, banner, flowers and a prize package “fit for a star” said Starsiak.

“The Miss Star of Hope winner needs to have a sense of bringing about a sense of commitment for making our community stronger,” said Starsiak.

A special question and answer day is planned July 10 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at the Westfield Fairgrounds to review the do’s and don’ts to ensure the experience will be rewarding for all contestants.

“We will guide girls on how to walk on stage, give examples of appropriate attire, and show examples of photos for submitting for judging,” said Starsiak.

Starsiak’s overall objective is that the contestants feel comfortable with the competition and understand the importance of giving back to the community.

“The Westfield Fair is as hometown as it gets,” said Starsiak.

“Having been involved for so many years in competition, this entire process becomes second nature to me.”

Kiefer added that in addition to volunteers for the three nights for MusicFest, a “great deal of volunteer hours” behind the scenes help make the summer music series a reality.

“The WOW board and other similar boards in Westfield do a good deal of work and contribute hours and hours per week to make Westfield a city with so much to offer,” she said.

Kiefer has posted Survey Monkey on the Westfield on Weekends Facebook page for individuals to sign up to volunteer.

“We won’t turn anyone away,” she said, adding, “When community members contribute their time, which is very valuable, it demonstrates their commitment to the event and the community.”

Kiefer added that with many hands reaching out, the work is light for everyone.

For the past several years the fireworks had been organized by the Rotary Club of Westfield and held at Stanley Park. The Rotary Club has refocused its community efforts on the Downtown Food Fest, which will be held in late August.

Mayor Brian Sullivan thanked the Rotary Club and Stanley Park for their past service.

“Mark Boardman and the Rotary Club have been very helpful as we work to transition this event to a new location,” Mayor Sullivan said. “Over the coming weeks, my team will be working very hard to deliver an event worthy of the 4th of July celebration,” he continued.

Mayor Sullivan said he will be working with the Police Department, the Fire Department, fireworks vendors, local nonprofits, and businesses to plan event logistics and raise funds for the event.

To volunteer or learn more about the event, please contact the Mayor’s office at (413) 572-6201.

In an effort to reduce traffic Mayor Sullivan is urging citizens to walk and bike via the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail to see the fireworks display as well as utilize the many parking areas around the school.

In a story from The Westfield News on May 11th, Mayor Sullivan stated that, due to current regulations, a location within the city is becoming harder and harder to find. The selection of the area behind South Middle School meets the necessary requirements by providing plenty of spectator space and sufficient area for the launch.

With sunset at approximately 830pm that night the fireworks are expected to kick off about 9pm.

ERIC HOLDER:

Snowden performed a ‘public service’

By LOUIS NELSON Politico.com Former NSA contractor Edward Snowden performed a public service when he leaked classified information and launched a public debate about government surveillance techniques, former Attorney General Eric Holder said in a recent interview.

But that doesn’t mean Holder thinks Snowden should get away with it.

In an appearance on former Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod’s podcast, Holder said Snowden’s 2013 leaks “harmed American interests” but that the light he shone on controversial government practices could mitigate some of the damage done.

“I know there are ways in which certain of our agents were put at risk, relationships with other countries were harmed, our ability to keep the American people safe was compromised,” Holder told Axelrod. “There were all kinds of re-dos that had to be put in place as a result of what he did, and while those things were being done we were blind in certain really critical areas. So what he did was not without consequence.”

“He’s broken the law in my view. He needs to get lawyers, come on back, and decide, see what he wants to do: Go to trial, try to cut a deal. I think there has to be a consequence for what he has done,” Holder continued. “I think in deciding what an appropriate sentence should be, I think a judge could take into account the usefulness of having had that national debate.”

Appearing from Russia via videoconference at a University of Chicago event earlier this month, Snowden reiterated his willingness to return to the U.S., but only if he could be guaranteed a “fair trial.”

“If I had access to public interest defenses and other things like that, I would want to come home and make my case to the jury,” Snowden said. “But, as I think you’re quite familiar, the Espionage Act does not permit a public interest defense.

You’re not allowed to speak the word ‘whistleblower’ at trial.”

Snowden took note of Holder’s comments on him, posting a link to the podcast via his Twitter account.

Former US Attorney General @EricHolder spoke about #NSA’s mass surveillance with @DavidAxelrod.

In his own words: https://t.co/HSrlRCD5X8 — Edward Snowden (@Snowden) May 30, 2016 Asked later in the podcast what he thought of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, Holder criticized the tone of the Republican nominee’s rhetoric.

“The fact that he questioned the legitimacy of President Obama by questioning where he was born, what he’s said about Mexicans,” Holder said. “I think there’s a race-based component to his campaign. I think he appeals too often to the worst side of us as Americans.”

Advocates say immigration raids are making it more difficult to contact potential Latino voters. (AP)

Dems fear Obama immigration raids could hurt Latino turnout Clinton and Sanders are jockeying for their votes, but the administration crackdown is hurting outreach.

By SEUNG MIN KIM Politico.com Donald Trump and his incendiary immigration rhetoric was supposed to send Latino voters to the polls in droves for Democrats this fall. But the Obama administration’s controversial immigration raids are threatening to weaken the Democrats’ advantage.

The volatile issue of immigration and the power of the Latino vote is coming into sharper focus in advance of the June 7 primary in California, where Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are showing off their pro-immigrant bona fides in their increasingly contentious nomination fight.

But a running undercurrent is the firestorm over the raids launched by the Obama administration earlier this year and reportedly renewed this month targeting immigrants here illegally. Advocacy groups say they’re concerned that enthusiasm from Latino voters and volunteers is getting sapped because of the furor stemming from the controversial enforcement operations.

“People are fatigued and outraged about the raids, and just when things should be turning to creating clean lines between the candidates, the Obama administration is dampening enthusiasm,” said Cristina Jimenez, the co-founder and managing director of United We Dream, a leading advocacy group led by young undocumented immigrants.

She added that the raids are “definitely making it harder for United We Dream Action and other groups engaging in Latino and immigrant voters.”

Motivated by a presumptive GOP nominee who has promised to expel the more than 11 million immigrants here illegally and erect an impenetrable wall along the southern border, Latino interest in this fall’s presidential elections have been more intense than ever. Donald Trump has a staggeringly high unfavorable rating among Hispanics, and the launch of his presidential campaign last summer was marked by controversial comments toward Mexican immigrants.

Immigrants are also becoming naturalized at much more rapid rates. Statistics released last week from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services show more than 250,000 immigrants have applied to become naturalized in the first three months of this year. That’s a 28 percent boost from the applications submitted during the same period in 2015.

“People are becoming citizens because they want to vote against Donald Trump,” said Ben Monterroso, the executive director of Mi Familia Vota, a Latino civic engagement group.

But on the ground, advocates say that the raids are making it more difficult to contact potential Latino voters. Though immigration enforcement officials may be targeting a relatively narrow swath of people, other immigrants can get swept up during the process, advocates say.

That means immigrants are increasingly afraid of opening the door and interacting with strangers — throwing more hurdles in voter outreach efforts. This is particularly an issue with mixed-status families, when one person could be a U.S. citizen and eligible to vote while others are here illegally.

“There is a hope that at the very least, people will come out and vote against Trump,” said Marielena Hincapie, the executive director of the California-based National Immigration Law Center. “One of the questions and concerns is, does the fear and confusion of the raids result in suppressing the vote so much that people are unsure about coming forward?”

Monterroso pointed to another obstacle in outreach efforts caused by the raids.

“Volunteers that are doing the best work to talk to the voters is where I see the disappointment and frustration,” he said.

The administration has so far declined to confirm specifics about the latest round of raids, which were disclosed in a Reuters report this month. According to a document obtained by the news agency, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials have told agents across the country to prepare for a

30-day “surge” of arrests targeting mothers and children who have recently arrived in the country illegally but have been told to return to their home countries.

The latest operations follow the two-day raids that occurred in January — a strategy so aggressive that Trump took credit for the idea when news of it broke.

“It defies political logic that the administration would do anything to weaken Hispanic support for the Democratic nominee,” said Kevin Appleby, the international migration policy director for the Center for Migration Studies, a Catholicbased institute and think tank.

The raids in January were targeted toward North Carolina, Texas and Georgia, but there has been scant confirmation this time around about where the operations will be concentrated.

The Obama administration has focused on deporting immigrants who arrived here illegally after January 2014 and have also exhausted all legal grounds for being able to stay.

Lawyers working at two detention facilities in Texas say they’ve met with 16 families from Central America who have been detained since the latest raids were disclosed. They have come primarily from North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Texas, according to the CARA Family Detention Pro Bono Project.

“As we have stated repeatedly, the Department of Homeland Security must enforce the law consistent with our enforcement priorities,” ICE spokeswoman Jennifer Elzea said Friday. “Our highest priority is public safety and border security.”

Shortly after the raids were disclosed this month, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said "this administration is serious about enforcing the law."

"I recognize that our political opponents don't like to acknowledge that fact," Earnest said. "But we've made clear how we're going to use law enforcement resources to enhance or border security and to enhance the security of communities across the country.”

Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) said he believed the raids were being leaked now to deter a significant surge of Central American immigrants at the southern border this summer — which could spiral into a broader humanitarian and political problem for Democrats, like the border crisis that erupted in 2014.

The number of women and children being apprehended at the southern border plummeted dramatically in January — soon after the Obama administration announced the raids. But since then, the figures have been ticking upward.

“Why would you announce raids that are not really numerically not significant? Why such a focus? Because the news goes from here to the press conferences, straight to the homes of the Salvadorans, the Guatemalans,” Gutierrez said. “Here’s the problem. It’s not going to work.”

Both Clinton and Sanders strongly condemned the latest round of deportation raids almost immediately after they were revealed. Sanders denounced what he called the “painful and inhumane business of locking up and deporting families who have fled horrendous violence in Central America and other countries.” He pushed President Barack Obama to grant temporary protected status to immigrants coming from that region.

Clinton, meanwhile, detailed her opposition to “large scale raids that tear families apart and sow fear in communities” while stressing the need for proper legal counsel, especially for minors.

The two are running close in California polling. Numbers released May 25 from the Public Policy Institute of California showed Clinton up by just 2 percentage points over Sanders in the June 7 contest, although other primaries held that day are sure to put Clinton over the top in terms of delegates.

There are about 4.1 million registered Latino voters in California, which is nearly one out of every four voters in the state, according to the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials.

“There is always the concern that what this administration does could potentially affect participation and turnout,” said Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-Calif.), the chairwoman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. “But I think if it does, I think it would be very minimal.”

STEPHEN HAWKING

By LOUIS NELSON Politico.com For Stephen Hawking, the world-renowned expert in theoretical physics and cosmology, the success of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is a mystery.

Hawking called Trump "a demagogue who seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator,” during an appearance on the United Kingdom’s ITV network.

In addition to his scientific work, Hawking, who has a slow-progressing form of ALS, is a vocal advocate for individuals with disabilities. Trump drew criticism late last year on the campaign trail when he appeared to mock a New York Times reporter with a

disability at a rally in South Carolina. Trump later denied mocking the reporter and said he had never met him.

During the same television appearance, Hawking urged British voters to vote in favor of keeping the U.K. in the European Union. The much-discussed “Brexit” vote is scheduled for June 23 and a vote to leave the EU would cost Great Britain in terms of its economy, national security and scientific research.

"Gone are the days we could stand on our own against the world,” he said. “We need to be part of a larger group of nations, both for our security and our trade."

Forthcoming lawsuit seeks to block addiction center SPRINGFIELD (AP) — A group of residents from Springfield’s Mill Street neighborhood are filing suit in an attempt to block the proposed Western Massachusetts Correctional Addiction Center from moving in.

The Republican newspaper reports attorney Shawn Allyn plans to file a lawsuit Tuesday in Hampden Superior Court that seeks to obtain a temporary restraining order to halt construction on the facility.

The lawsuit will be similar to a federal suit Allyn filed several months ago that was denied after Judge Michael Ponsor called the facts of the case “a mess.”

The suit calls for an alternative to relocating the facility to a residential neighborhood. Allyn has proposed the construction of a 205-bed medical complex on the site of the Hampden County Correctional Center in Ludlow.

Man’s body pulled from Connecticut River in Gill GILL, Mass. (AP) — Authorities have pulled a body from the Connecticut River in Gill that was dressed in a similar manner to a murder suspect thought to have jumped from an upstream bridge earlier this month.

The male body was found in Gill on Monday afternoon

by Selectman Greg Snedeker and his daughter in the reeds 30 feet from shore.

Police Chief David Hastings says the body was dressed in clothing that fits the description of Tyler Hagmaier, believed to have jumped from the French King Bridge about a mile upstream on May 6.

The 24-year-old Hagmaier is suspected of fatally stabbing his neighbor, Quincy College professor Vibeke Rasmussen in her Plymouth apartment May 5.

Gill is about 120 miles from Plymouth.

The body has been sent to the medical examiner for identification.

Massachusetts tax amnesty program winding down

Newly renovated Chatham Shark Center opens on Cape Cod

BOSTON (AP) — State officials say thousands of Massachusetts taxpayers have taken advantage of a tax amnesty offer.

A two-month amnesty period during which individuals and businesses who owe back taxes can pay off their debts without paying penalties comes to an end on Tuesday.

The state Revenue Department says once the deadline passes, there are no plans to offer another amnesty program in the near future. That means delinquent taxpayers could face stiff penalties and even criminal prosecution if they continue to avoid paying back taxes they owe.

Revenue Commissioner Michael Heffernan says the agency is about to launch a new computer system that will improve tracking of unpaid taxes.

CHATHAM, Mass. (AP) — Members of the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy were on hand this weekend for the opening of the newly renovated Chatham Shark Center on Cape Cod. The Boston Globe reports (http://bit.ly/22vfjj8 ) the nonprofit officially took over the responsibility of handling exhibits at the Chatham Shark Center following its merger with the museum in March.

The Chatham Shark Center first opened in 2015 with just two displays. Visitors can now learn about sharks and underwater life through several informational displays, including one that features a virtual reality component.

The museum also offers a look into the history of researching great white sharks in Massachusetts as well as an exhibit on Frank Mundus, who caught the world’s largest great white in 1986.

Approximately 200 patrons visited between Saturday and Sunday.

Springfield to mark 5th anniversary of deadly tornado SPRINGFIELD (AP) — Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno is asking residents to hold a moment of reflection this week to commemorate the fifth anniversary of a tornado that killed three people in western Massachusetts and caused severe damage.

Getting experimental drugs FACES OF to patients who need them CARSON

SUE WEST, CEO

SPRINGFIELD — When a patient’s traditional treatment options are exhausted, sometimes there is an experimental drug— not yet approved by the FDA—that could be beneficial. Baystate's Human Research Protection Program may be able to help doctors get these treatments for their patients through the FDA's compassionate or emergency use process.

The Carson Center for Human Services Celebrating 50 Years of Real Help with Real Life 1963-2013 “On Memorial Day, I told my family a story that I would never have been able to tell 30 years ago. I’ve been working on it with my Carson trauma therapist.

I was on duty in the Republic of Viet Nam in the spring of 1967, nearly fifty years ago. My helicopter was flying in close support of ground troops who were in a fierce fire fight with enemy forces in the province below.ence in the spring of 1967. Having been an infantry man and having fought in fire fights just a few months before, I knew what they were going through. From our chopper we rained tracer rounds down on enemy positions when a call came in to the chopper. The ground commander radioed that enemy fire was too severe for unarmed Medivac choppers to come in to pick up wounded. He asked us to come in and pick up the wounded. No one on the crew hesitated for a second before we began to descend into the firestorm. While continuing to lay heavy fire into the enemy positions, melting barrels on overheating M60 machine guns we landed and took out 4 badly wounded troops. One never knows if you will be able to put others over self until it happens, and what is weird, it does not seem like a big deal until you reflect on it and some general pins a medal on your chest. Reflections of a combat solder 49 years later. I have decided to tell one story a year on Memorial Day. Next year 10 Air Meddles. This is not a boast, this is what people should know about a peaceful man put in a life or death situation, I don’t think I have ever told this story to anyone before. I insist that I was not a hero, just doing a tenuous j You see, just a few months before, it was me down there in the infantry, under fire. I could feel what it was like for them from my chopper. I was raining tracer rounds down on the enemy positions when a call came radioed in from the Ground Commander. Enemy fire was too severe for the unarmed Medivac choppers to pick up their wounded. The Commander asked us to come in and pick them up.

Not one of us hesitated; we began our descent into the firestorm. We were laying fire so heavily that the barrels were melting on our M60 machine guns. We landed and took out four of the badly wounded soldiers.

The thing is, you never know if you will be able to put the life of another before your own safety until you are in a situation and you have to choose. I was a peaceful man, put in a life and death situation.

I have not told my stories because of how I felt when I returned, I was called a murderer. I received an Army Commendation medal for valor. It was awarded for acts of heroism. The General pinned a medal on my chest, but I was treated as shameful by my community.

I see things differently now, with help from my Carson therapist. I see how people have learned to accept our warriors, even as we question the value of the war. I am learning to do that, too, though I still can’t think of myself as a war hero. I have ten more medals and ten more stories to tell. It isn’t just my family I am telling them to. I am telling them to myself, as well. I never really felt the meaning of the medals because so many of my friends were throwing theirs away. I can see now that in the heat of hellish war, there is still love and selflessness and true valor. And now sometimes in therapy, I see some of that in me. I see there is love, and selflessness and true valor.” story by JAC Patrissi

When You’re Down to the Final Treatment Option Last summer, a young man arrived at Baystate Medical Center’s ED in sickle cell crisis, a painful episode where the sickle-shaped red blood cells block blood vessels, preventing blood and oxygen from getting through. It can damage tissues and cause liver or kidney failure, even death.

He was admitted, but his health declined over the next few days. A blood transfusion—the only proven treatment—was recommended. But the patient declined due to his faith. As his condition continued to worsen and death seemed imminent without a transfusion, experimental treatments were explored.

Hemopure, which is based on bovine hemoglobin, holds potential for patients with life-threatening anemia for whom human blood is not an option. The family agreed to try it. But, it is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

Emergency Use May Be the Last Resort In certain cases, the FDA allows experimental drugs to be accessed by patients with serious or life-threatening diseases who have no comparable therapeutic alternatives and are ineligible for clinical trials of the drug.

The manufacturer must agree to provide the drug to the patient, and the doctor must get an investigational new drug application approved by the FDA. “When we get a request for emergency or compassionate use, it bumps everything else off our schedule,” says Jennifer Pacheco, Director of Baystate’s Human Research Protection Program. “We know there is a specific patient that needs help and we drop everything to do it. It’s not unusual for staff to stay late or put in weekend hours.”

The doctor of the young man with sickle cell anemia called the HRPP office, and Ann Marie Collins and Pacheco worked with the clinical care team, the pharmaceutical company, and the FDA to get an emergency use request approved in about 24 hours.

HRPP Coordinates the Process— Even on Christmas According to Pacheco, most emergency use requests are from doctors on clinical service. They are usually not researchers used to dealing with the FDA approval process. “So, we try to complete as much of the required paperwork for the doctor as we can.”

By LAURAN NEERGAARD AP Medical Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — Jack Crowley was 15 when a baseball hit him in the chest and stopped his heart. The Long Island teen survived, thanks to a police officer who grabbed a defibrillator and shocked his heart back into rhythm.

A blow to the chest — one that hits at just the wrong spot, at just the wrong time — can trigger deadly cardiac arrest.

Fortunately it's rare. But most victims are otherwise healthy kid athletes. And survival hinges on fast use of those heart-zapping defibrillators that not every athletic league or school keeps near the play-

When HRPP knows a request is coming, they reach out to IRB chairs and vice chairs asking for help finding a reviewer for the application.

"We will page, phone, email, whatever is needed," says Pacheco. “We’ve had reviewers in clinic and if they have a 15 minute slot due to a patient cancellation they will review it.

They drop everything they can to move this through, too.”

It takes a lot of coordination between the clinical team, the IRB, Baystate’s investigational pharmacy, the FDA, the pharmaceutical company—and sometimes some unexpected outside agencies.

“We’ve had product needing to be here on Christmas day.

No shipping company delivers on Christmas, “ recounts Pacheco. “We had to coordinate troopers meeting at the state line to receive it from another state’s police so that child could get the drug when it was needed.”

Fastest Emergency Use Approval: 2 Hours 48 Minutes In March, the HRPP office received an email from Dr. Rachana Singh regarding an emergency use request for Omagavin for a 2 month old in the NICU. Omagavin is a food supplement for NICU patients not able to take breast milk, and for whom tube feeding is not possible or it has had an adverse effect on their liver. It’s not approved in the U.S. and is available only from Germany.

The FDA agreed to allow an emergency use Single Patient Investigational New Drug application for this specific patient.

The IRB staff worked with Dr. Singh, who was on service, to complete the required paperwork on her behalf, secured the required IRB approval, then worked with the pharmacy to get the order ready to send to the manufacturer in Germany —all in under 3 hours.

More Doctors Taking Advantage of this Service According to Pacheco, she is seeing an increasing number of emergency use requests—6 over the past 18 months instead of the more usual 1 per year.

She thinks it is because word of mouth has spread that the HRPP has this service and can help doctors facilitate the compassionate and emergency use of experimental therapies for the benefit of their patients.

"We assess where they are in the process and piece together the puzzle to get them where they need to be."

There soon may be another attempt at protection: A U.S. organization that oversees athletic equipment has proposed the first performance standard for chest protectors to reduce the risk from those blows, a step that could lead to updated gear.

Nancy Crowley finds it hard to watch her three sportsloving sons' games since Jack's scary near-miss in a batting cage a year ago. She calls the latest move by the athletic industry overdue.

"You cannot live in a bubble," acknowledged Crowley, who helped lobby local athletic officials to improve access to defibrillators but wants more protection. "If a standard has come along that they feel is going to protect them in some way, I'm thrilled."

Cardiac arrest, when the heart abruptly stops beating, is uncommon in young people, especially athletes who presumably are in their prime.

There are no good counts in kids' athletics. Whatever the number — or whatever the cause — cardiac arrest is getting more attention from parents, coaches and heart specialists who say deaths should be preventable.

Indeed, NCAA guidelines recently reported in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology say defibrillators should be kept in the immediate vicinity of "high risk locations" such as weight rooms, basketball courts and ball fields.

For younger students, many states have laws encouraging or requiring defibrillators in schools but few specify athletic facilities, according to the advocacy group Parent Heart Watch.

The most frequent cause of cardiac arrest in a young athlete is an underlying structur-

al problem of the heart, such as a thickened heart muscle, the problem often behind headline-making collapses of basketball players.

The chest protector standards take aim at a different problem: Every year, an estimated 10 to 20 people suffer what's called commotio cordis — cardiac arrest caused by a blow to the chest. A voluntary registry that has collected information on more than 250 cases over two decades does show survival increasing in recent years thanks to more defibrillator access.

The highest risk is to boys under 15, when the chest wall is still flexible, not as sturdy as it will become by their 20s when such deaths hardly ever are reported.

About a third of the time, victims were wearing some form of chest protector when they collapsed, showing at least some of today's equipment isn't enough, said Dr. Mark Link, a heart specialist at Tufts University Medical Center who spent more than a decade unraveling just how commotio cordis occurs.

Link's tests, using young pigs as a model, revealed that killer hits are those landing directly over the heart, at about 40 miles an hour — and in the milliseconds between heartbeats.

Armed with that science, the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment, or NOCSAE, funded creation of a sort of crash-test dummy to prove what gear really reduces the risk, and proposed the first standard for chest protectors used in baseball and lacrosse that aim to do so.

The idea: find materials that disperse the heart-damaging force of a blow without impeding players' movements — whether they're catchers or

youngsters playing other positions who may wear shirt-like chest coverings under their uniforms.

Guarding against commotio cordis may require a different design than standard foam that blocks a broken rib.

Among the questions is how to integrate protection against both.

The standard is expected to be completed in January; only then could manufacturers label gear certified as meeting it. NOCSAE's recommendations often are adopted by sports governing bodies. It's not clear what such gear would cost.

Already, one company that uses military-grade materials in sports equipment has developed some lightweight protection it expects to fit the bill. In March, Link's team published lab tests in the Journal of Clinical Sports Medicine suggesting a combination of foams and polymers used by Pennsylvaniabased Unequal Technologies is likely to be effective. The company, which funded the research, is producing chest protectors and heart-covering shirts that it plans to test against the final NOCSAE standard.

"If we can stop a bullet, we can stop a ball," said Unequal chief executive Rob Vito.

Other manufacturers are traveling to NOCSAE's lab to learn to test products. Stan Jurga Jr. of All-Star Sporting Goods, a Massachusettsbased manufacturer, wonders if he'll need to alter equipment aimed at professionals, too, because teens sometimes wear the adult sizes.

"Those are the real-world challenges," said Jurga, who also is pursuing a protective shirt. But he applauded the science, saying, "the last thing anyone wants is a false sense of security."

SPORTS D1 track finals:

Sanders tops again

By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer WESTFIELD – It would not be championship season in the world of high school track and field without Westfield track star, senior Morgan Sanders.

Sanders claimed a gold medal in the 100 meter hurdles with a 15.26 second finish in the Central/West Division I girls’ track and field championships Saturday at Westfield State, eclipsing Westborough’s Melissa Sullivan (15.79).

She also managed a sixth-place long jump (16 feet, 5 inches).

Westfield’s 4×800 relay team – Katrina Arona, Moira McDonald, Mia McDonald, and Taylor White – seized fourth in the 4×800 meter relay race (9:53.24). The Bombers’ 4×400 relay team – Mia McDonald, Sanders, McKenzie Chaban, and Arona – was ninth (4:18.30).

Katie Knapik tossed the javelin a distance of 100 feet, four inches for Westfield to take seventh in that event.

Sophia Gronbeck finished 12th in the 2-mile run (13:09.73) for Westfield, and Bombers’ Emily Ciccolo took 13th in the 400 meter hurdles (1:14.21), Chaban claimed 16th in the long jump (1411.25), and Amanda Hall was 24th in the shot put (27-8).

Westfield totaled 20 points in the team rankings, tied with Chicopee Comprehensive and Doherty. Wachusett won the team competition with 92 points, beating out Algonquin (59 points) and Nashoba (57).

D2 NOTES: Southwick senior Ashley Consolini placed seventh on the 400 meter hurdles (1:09.40) and senior Emily McKinney placed 15th in the 800 meters (2:27).

BOYS’ RESULTS As a team, Westfield failed to crack the top 10, but landed a 12th place overall team finish with 26 points. St. John’s (95 points), Northampton (53), and Nashoba (52) placed first, second, and third, resepectively. The Bombers also produced a couple of bright individual moments.

Westfield junior Gabriel Piepergerd soared to a pentathlon championship title with 2743 points. Brendan O’Donnell, of St. John’s was second (2666 points).

Piepergerd topped the entire field of

pentathlon challengers in the long jump, high jump, and 1500 meter race, took fourth in the 110 meter hurdles, and was ninth in the shot put competition.

Junior Ryan Prenosil also had a nice outing for the Westfield boys’ track and field team. Prenosil placed third in the 800 meters (1:56.08), and combined efforts with Jeffrey McConkey, Eric Bone, and Sam Winiarski to propel the Bombers to silver in the 4×400 meter relay race with a second-place time of 3:26.21.

D2 NOTES: Southwick junior Brandon Castor had a silver medal finish in the 200 meter dash (22.80), a ninth place finish in the high jump (5-10), and finished sixth in the 100 meters (11.20).

Rams’ junior Dermotheo Walden was ninth in the discus (128-3).

BASEBALL

Lancers stun Bombers Longmeadow 12, Westfield 11 Longmeadow’s top four hitters produced seven runs and nine RBIs to escape the Whip City with a stunning victory.

Maximilian Winkler (2-for-3, 2 runs), William Echeverria (2-for-3, 2 runs, 3 RBIs), Maxwell Rye (1-for-4, 2 runs, RBI), and Samuel Schwartz (4-for-5, 1 run, 5 RBIs) tore the cover off the ball for Longmeadow.

Westfield’s Austin St. Pierre (2-for-4, 2 runs, RBI) and Zachary Jarvis (2-for-3, 3 runs, RBI) had multi-hit outings at the plate.

LATE RESULTS Fri., May 27 BOYS’ TENNIS Belchertown 4, St. Mary 1 Garrett Almedia defeated Belchertown’s Noah Troy at third singles, 6-4, 4-6, (10-6) for St. Mary’s lone win of the day.

“All Saints’ players demonstrated great effort, improvement and sportsmanship,” said St. Mary coach George Hart, “especially seniors Will Armstrong, Zach Mastalerz – (he was) injured but still supportive, Sean Berube, and Garrett.”

Katie Knapik tosses the javelin for Westfield during the Central/West Division 1 championships Saturday at Westfield State University.

Godette, Drigo earn All-America Honors Cardin Finishes Ninth in Steeplechase at NCAA Championships WESTFIELD, Mass. – Westfield State’s Travon Godette and David Drigo earned AllAmerica honors in the javelin on the final day of the 2016 NCAA Division III Track and Field Championships at Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa.

Godette was placed third in the javelin with an official mark of 61.51 meters (201’-10”).

Drigo placed seventh with a top throw of 60.69 meters. The Owls sophomore blossomed late in the season, tacking four meters

on to his career best throw at the ECAC meet in Westfield last week to qualify for the NCAA championship, and extending that mark twice more at the NCAA meet to earn himself All-America honors.

Westfield State sophomore Jessie Cardin narrowly missed All-America honors today as well, finishing ninth in the women’s 3000 meter steeplechase final. Breaking from the 2nd post she settled back mid-pack for most of the race. With one and a half laps to go she briefly moved into the 8th spot before ultimately finishing in ninth, one spot out of the All-American awards. Cardin has a stellar sophomore season that saw her earn AllAmerica honors in the fall cross country season.

Overall, Westfield will place three athletes

on the All-America teams, including senior women’s shot putter Naloti Palma, who finished eighth yesterday.

The end of the meet was delayed for over an hour after a coach’s protest in the javelin regarding the length of spikes. According to anecdotal reports, at least four of the competitors were affected, including Godette and Drigo. The protest was eventually upheld, and Godette’s throw of 68.60 Meters, or 225’7.5” in the preliminaries was disallowed, which was originally posted on the NCAA’s live stats feed of the meet with Godette in first place. The games committee from the championship had not provided a comment or statement on the exact nature of the protest and the actions taken as of press time of this story.

Whitworth (Wash.) University’s Andrew Bloom was ultimately named the winner of the javelin competition with a top throw of 63.60 meters or 208’-08.”

The administrative adjustment in the javelin provides a disappointing ending to Godette’s outstanding career at Westfield State. He was named the MASCAC’s Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year earlier this week, won the NCAA Division III title in the javelin in 2015 with a top throw of 67.5 meters, and placed third in the nation in 2014 as well.

The Westfield State men finished tied for 34th among 141 participating teams in the team scoring with eight points. The Owls’ women finished tied for with 79th among the 143 participating teams.

Travon Godette launches the javelin at the 2016 NCAA Championships at Waverly, Iowa on Saturday, May 28.

Palma put the shot 13.60 meters, or 44'-7.5" on her third attempt of the day.

That throw advanced her to the nine-thrower finals, but she was unable to improve her mark in the final three throws. The eighth-place finish for Palma is her best in six trips to the NCAA championships, and will let her

crown her outstanding career at Westfield State with AllAmerica honors.

Kim Gallavan of BaldwinWallace (Ohio) College won the event in dramatic fashion throwing 14.57m (47'-9.75") on her final throw of the contest. Gallavan had fouled her previous three throws, and her final toss outdistanced Nebraska Wesleyan's Samantha Dolezal by 1.25" to earn the title.

Westfield's Travon Godette (Mahar/Orange, Mass.) finished 13h in the men's high jump with a top clearance of 1.97 meters or

6'-5.5". Godette cleared his first three attempts of the competition at 1.87, 1.92, and 1.97 meters, missed on his three attempts at 2.01 meters or 6'7". Cortland State's Nick Vachon won the national title with a leap of 2.10 meters (6'10.75").

Owls sophomore Ed Perez (Central/Springfield, Mass.) was slated to compete in the 110 high hurdle preliminaries, but was scratched due to an injury.

Godette will be back in action at the championships tomorrow, as he will defend his title in the javelin throw.

Sophomore David Drigo will join Godette in the javelin competition. Westfield State will also have sophomore Jessie Cardin in action in the women's 3000 meter steeplechase final.

Bogaerts hit streak at 23 as Sox beat Orioles Latour Places 10th in Nation in Long Jump

By DAVID GINSBURG AP Sports Writer BALTIMORE (AP) — Xander Bogaerts did the damage early, extending his hitting streak to 23 games and driving in two runs.

From there, Boston used the long ball to pull away from the Baltimore Orioles in a matchup between the top two teams in the AL East.

Jackie Bradley put the first-place Red Sox ahead for good with a sixth-inning homer, and David Ortiz and Marco Hernandez connected in the eighth to seal a 7-2 victory Monday.

Knuckleballer Steven Wright (5-4) pitched a four-hitter, striking out seven and walking five in his third straight complete game.

Mookie Betts scored twice, courtesy of Bogaerts, before Bradley connected off Tyler Wilson (2-4) leading off the sixth. Bradley's 29-game hitting streak, which ended last week, is the only one this season longer than Bogaerts' career-best run.

"I'm just trying to go up there and get hits, you know? If it happens, it happens," Bogaerts said. "Just trying to be me, and not trying to be someone who I'm not."

Ortiz led off the eighth with his 14th home run and Hernandez added a three-run shot to send many in the crowd of 43,926 up the exit ramps. Hernandez's first major league homer came in his 10th game.

Wright, meanwhile, threw a 122-pitch masterpiece by mixing a fluttering knuckler with a vastly contrasting fastball.

"It was a challenge," Baltimore's Mark Trumbo said. "He had great stuff today. It never ended up where it started. You can't really predict where to swing. You just hope that you get one that maybe doesn't move quite as much."

Ryan Flaherty doubled in a run and scored one for the Orioles, who have lost six of eight.

Wilson gave up three runs and eight hits over 6 2-3 innings in losing his third straight start.

Limited to an infield hit over the first four innings, Baltimore temporarily solved Wright's knuckler in the fifth. Nolan Reimold tripled, Flaherty doubled, Caleb Joseph snapped an 0-for-19 skid with a single and Adam Jones delivered a sacrifice fly to tie the game at 2.

"They're a very aggressive team. They're all really good hitters," Wright said. "In that inning they scored the two runs, I think I kind of got caught up in the same speed."

The deadlock lasted only until Bradley

crushed Wilson's third pitch of the following inning.

Boston got a first-inning run when Betts scored from second base on Bogaerts' dribbler down the third-base line. Bogaerts was thrown out, but neither Wilson nor Joseph, the catcher, got back to cover the plate. Replays indicated the ball bounced off Bogaerts' foot in foul ground, but such plays are not reviewable.

Bogaerts knew the ball should have been called foul, but learned from experience to run it out.

"We had a play back at home, same play. I stood at home, the ball hit me, and they threw to first, out," he said. "I told the umpire the ball hit me, and he said, 'No, you're out.' This time I'm running, you know. And it worked out for RBI." Bogaerts hit an RBI double in the third following singles by Betts and Dustin Pedroia.

DOUBLE DOWN Red Sox: Bogaerts' two doubles increased Boston's major-league leading total to 133, but Ortiz's career-high run of six straight games with a double came to an end.

Orioles: Flaherty's fifth-inning double was his second in 61 at-bats this season and produced his second RBI. TRAINER'S ROOM Red Sox: Placed on the concussion list May 20, utility man Brock Holt has ramped up his baseball-related activities. But there is no timetable for his return, manager John Farrell said. ... Ortiz returned after sitting out Sunday's game in Toronto with a sore left foot.

Orioles: RHP Yovani Gallardo (shoulder tendinitis) will begin his rehabilitation assignment on Thursday and with 40-60 pitches in a minor league game. ... SS J.J. Hardy (broken foot) will have a CT scan Friday. He hopes to be cleared to begin baseball-related activities.

Joseph was taken to the hospital for observation after getting struck in the groin by a foul ball.

UP NEXT Red Sox: Eduardo Rodriguez (right knee) comes off the disabled list to make his season debut, starting on the mound Tuesday night against the organization that drafted him.

Rodriquez went 0-3 in five rehab starts with Triple-A Pawtucket. After the game, Boston sent reliever Heath Hembree to the minors to make room for Rodriguez.

Orioles: Starting for the eighth time this season, Kevin Gausman (0-2, 3.24 ERA) makes another run at his first win.

WESTFIELD – Westfield State senior John Latour (Amherst, Mass.) finished 10th in the nation in the men's long jump, and sophomore Jessie Cardin (Sutton, Mass.) qualified for the women's 3000M steeplechase final in the first day of action at the NCAA Division III championships at Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa, on Thursday afternoon.

LaTour's best leap of 6.84 meters (22'-5.25") left him just 2 centimeters shy of qualifying for the finals, but was good enough to split the 20-man field on Saturday. Monmouth (Ill.) College senior James Wilson won the event with a best jump of 7.45 meters, or 24'-5.5."

In the steeplechase, Cardin recorded a time of 11:01.61, good for fourth place in her heat and an automatic slot in the 14-runner championship field on Saturday at 12:45 p.m. Cornell (Iowa) College senior Sanjuanita Martinez was the fastest qualifier today with a time of 10:55.71.

Cardin entered the day as the 12th seed with a season-best time of 10:49 this year. A top-8 finish on Saturday would let her earn All-America honors for the second time this season, as she did so in the fall cross country season.

Friday's action will feature Owls senior Naloti Palma (Westborough, Mass.) in the women's shot put, an event in which she finished ninth in the nation during the indoor season, while Travon Godette (Mahar/Orange, Mass.) will compete in the men's high jump. Godette won the MASCAC title in the high jump this spring and placed 12th in the nation at the indoor championships in March. Sophomore Ed Perez (Central/Springfield, Mass.) will compete in the 110 high hurdles as well.

Hyper • Local

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

It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newspapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore.

But, day in and day out, The Westfield News provides consistant coverage of the stories you need to know about, that are important to your city, town, neighborhood and home.

DOG EAT DOUG

Brian Anderson

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, May 31, 2016: This year you will work more closely with a serious partner or business associate.

At times, you might want to throw in the towel. Learning how to interact with this person will be important. The more relaxed and easygoing you are, the better the flow will be between you and others. Your focus remains on success and expanding your circle of friends. If you are single, you could attract someone who is very different in spirit, but who holds many of the same beliefs as you. Accept this person as he or she is. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy a lot of give-and-take, which sometimes will seem combative. Try to be more expressive and kinder in your sharing.

ARIES is your loyal friend.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH People are opening up right in front of you. You will gain a new perspective just by understanding where others are coming from. Sometimes you find their thinking to be quite off beat; finally you will see where they are coming from. Tonight: Nap, then decide.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Zero in on what you want. A friend will play a key role in the events that unfold today. You might need to rethink what stance you are coming from after a seemingly difficult conversation. You know what works and what doesn’t. Tonight: Make it an early one.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You are energized and focused.

You know where you are going and why. A meeting with a co-worker could provide direction. Do whatever is needed to get past a blockage. Once you take care of this hassle, you’ll have a clearer vision of what can happen. Tonight: Don’t be alone.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You might feel as if someone tends to put you on the spot. You will have your hands full, so ask for help if need be. If you can, try to delegate some of your work and responsibilities. Sometimes you need to lighten up about certain obligations.

Tonight: A must appearance.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Reach out to someone who has more knowledge and/or experience than you do in a similar situation. You recognize the need to hear others’ opinions in helping you make a decision. Call a loved one at a distance; he or she will appreciate hearing from you. Tonight: Be entertained.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Relate closely to someone whom you care a lot about. Don’t feel as if you have to follow any type of ceremonial procedures around this person. Bypass all the frivolities, and be authentic as well. A family member could rain on your parade.

Tonight: Opt for togetherness.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Others seek you out for various reasons. Stay open, and be willing to interact with key people in your life. You’ll be getting a lot of practice saying “no” while still managing not to hurt anyone’s feelings.

You are more together than you realize.

Tonight: Let the party go on.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You have a lot of ground to cover, and you’ll manage to do it effectively in the near future. A softer approach will draw stronger results than you initially had thought possible. A key person is more than willing to work with you as a result. Tonight: As late as you want.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might be feeling down and out. How you handle a personal matter could be disparaging at best. Loosen up and relax with a child or new friend. Once you do, you will see the more positive angle of your life. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You might want to understand what is going on with a family member. You could try various approaches, from being charming to demanding, and everything in between. Recognize that you can’t force anyone to speak if he or she doesn’t want to.

Tonight: Happiest at home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You might want to consider a new process for getting what you most desire. If you hit a wall one way or another, know that you have not yet found the right path. Refuse to give up, and ask for help from more creative minds than yours.

Tonight: Catch up on some gossip!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You could be amazed by everything that is occurring in your life. Some of you might find that your dreams have become realities. Take a strict approach with any money risks. You will be a lot happier, even if what is being offered sounds very tempting. Tonight: Run errands.
