Low turnout projected for primary By BOB SALSBERG Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Low voter turnout is expected for the primary election despite contested races for governor and other statewide offices, the state’s top elections official said Monday. “I think there hasn’t been a great deal of enthusiasm so far,” Secretary of State William Galvin said. Treasurer Steven Grossman, Attorney General Martha Coakley and former federal health care administrator Don Berwick are seeking the Democratic nod for governor;
former Harvard Pilgrim Health Care executive Charlie Baker and tea party-affiliated business owner Mark Fisher are vying for the Republican nomination in Tuesday’s voting. Galvin forecast that approximately 550,000 people would vote in the Democratic primary and up to 170,000 would cast ballots in the Republican primary. Total turnout for both parties is unlikely to exceed 15 to 20 percent of the state’s registered voters, he said. If correct, those numbers would fall significantly short of the 2006 primary election,
Voters head to polls for primary By STEVE LeBLANC Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Candidates for every office from governor to state representative are revving up their get-out-the-vote efforts as they work to pull sympathetic voters to the polls on a Primary Day officials warn could see a low turnout. At the top of the ticket are the Democratic and Republican primaries for governor. On the Democratic side Attorney General Martha Coakley — the front-runner in polls — is working to fend off challenges from state Treasurer Steven Grossman and former federal health care administrator Don Berwick. The GOP ballot includes former Harvard Pilgrim Health Care executive Charlie Baker and tea party-affiliated business owner Mark Fisher. Baker has maintained a hefty lead in polls. Another top race is the Democratic contest for attorney general pitting former assistant attorney general Maura Healey against former state Sen. Warren Tolman. Whoever wins will face Republican John Miller in November. Among the congressional races, the most closely watched primary is in the 6th Congressional District, where nine-term incumbent Rep. John Tierney is facing four Democratic challengers. Tierney has targeted one of those challengers — businessman and Iraq War veteran and businessman Seth Moulton — with television ads linking him to Republicans who support gun rights and oppose abortion rights. Whoever wins the Democratic primary will face former Republican state Sen. Richard Tisei in November. The other down ticket races have received less attention. One is the contest for treasurer. Three Democrats are vying for their party’s nomination to succeed Grossman: former Brookline See Primary, Page 3
the last time the incumbent governor wasn’t running and there was a contested Democratic primary that attracted nearly 912,000 voters. Galvin’s projections were based on the number of absentee ballots cast this year compared to previous years and on the volume of inquiries to his office from voters about issues such as where they should vote. While skeptical of turnout, “I would be happy to be wrong,” Galvin added. One factor that he said could drive the numbers up was the success of get-out-the- A sign located in the Southwick Town Hall helps guide voters to the polls for today’s primary elecSee Turnout, Page 3 tions.

Chief explains hiring decision By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Westfield Police Chief John Camerota, speaking for the police commission, said last night that the city’s new Manager of Animal Control Operations was hired by the city’s Personnel Director because the commissioners properly relinquished their authority when he polled them. At last night’s Police Commission meeting, Camerota said that he asked the individual members of the commission separately if they “wanted to relinquish their authority over the next hiring of the animal control director and all of the individuals said yes.” He had prefaced his explanation by

Town Clerk candidates selected By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – The Board of Selectmen hired for two open positions in the Town Clerk’s office last night. Five candidates recommended by Town Clerk Michelle Hill were interviewed by the board. Following the interview process, selectmen Russell Fox and Joseph Deedy met with Hill during a brief executive session. Selectwoman Tracy Cesan was present for the interviews but was called to a family emergency and did not vote. She did write down her top three candidates before excusing herself. Lisa Davidson and Melissa Barnes were the top candidates selected, with Jeremy Daigneault named a third candidate. “There are two positions but we’re naming three people in case there is a problem with one of the first two,” said Fox. “Michelle Hill’s office needs to get them up and running.”
Rosemary Barnett and Stephanie Woodard also were interviewed. Each candidate was asked the same set of five questions. Davidson has worked for Big Y for 22 years and said customer service is a priority. When asked how she would handle helping a difficult customer, Davidson said first she would remain calm. “You have to always stay calm, because if you’re calm, you’re better able to keep them calm,” Davidson said. The board asked Davidson about a time she was a team player. She said at Big Y, everyone pitches in. “If it’s busy you do whatever has to be done,” she said. “If I’m in the safe, I will ring or do whatever needs to be done.” Asked where she sees herself in five years, Davidson replied “hopefully working here.” See Clerk Candidates, Page 8

ROCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire’s House of Representatives may be getting a little more human next year. A candidate who legally changed his name to human is running against incumbent Democratic state Rep. Rose Marie Rogers in Tuesday’s primary. David Montenegro changed his name to human in 2012. He made headlines this year when the state’s highest court ruled he could have a vanity license plate that reads COPSLIE. He had sued after the Division of Motor Vehicles said he couldn’t have the plate because it denigrated police officers. Rogers was first elected in 2012 and represents Rochester, a city of about 30,000 residents.

In 1893, Frances Cleveland, wife of President Grover Cleveland, gave birth to a daughter, Esther, in the White House; it was the first time a president’s child was born in the executive mansion. In 1919, some 1,100 members of Boston’s 1,500-man police force went on strike. (The strike was broken by Massachusetts Gov. Calvin Coolidge with replacement officers.) In 1926, the National Broadcasting Co. (NBC) was incorporated by the Radio Corp. of America. In 1932, the steamboat Observation exploded in New York’s East River, killing 72 people.

A powerful car bomb exploded outside the Australian Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia, killing at least 9 people, including the bomber.
Five years ago: In a speech to a joint session of Congress, President Barack Obama summoned lawmakers to enact sweeping health care legislation, declaring the “time for bickering is over.” (In an extraordinary breach of congressional decorum, Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., shouted “You lie!” when the president said illegal immigrants would not benefit from his proposals; Wilson ended up apologizing.) British commandos in Afghanistan freed New York Times reporter Stephen Farrell from Taliban captors, but one commando and a Times translator were killed.

Turnout vote efforts by the candidates, a major focus on the final day before the primary. The candidates were also out greeting potential voters. Grossman planned stops yesterday in Boston, Peabody, Framingham, Lowell and Newton before ending the day outside Fenway Park. Coakley, who has led in preprimary polls of likely Democratic voters, was also busy with several planned stops in Boston as well as Malden and Arlington. Berwick was scheduled to attend a get-out-the-vote rally in Cambridge on last night. On the Republican side, Baker planned to join volunteers making calls to voters from his campaign headquarters, while Fisher was scheduled to make several radio and TV appearances before a stop in Hyannis. About 53 percent of the state’s 4.2 million registered voters are unenrolled in either major party, but under state law they can choose to cast ballots in either the Democratic or Republican primary. Galvin said he did not foresee independent-minded voters showing much interest today. Besides the race for governor, there are also contested statewide Democratic primaries for attorney general, treasurer and lieutenant governor. The Democratic contest for attorney general pits former assistant attorney general Maura Healey against former state Sen. Warren Tolman. The winner will face Republican John Miller in November.

Continued from Page 1 Three Democrats are vying for their party’s nomination for treasurer: former Brookline Selectwoman Deborah Goldberg, state Rep. Thomas Conroy of Wayland and state Sen.

There’s also a three-way Democratic primary for lieutenant governor featuring Mike Lake, Stephen Kerrigan and Leland Cheung. Whoever wins will run as a ticket with the winner of the Democratic gubernatorial primary. Galvin said a general lack of hotly contested local races has also served to dampen voter interest. “There is not the supporting undercard races to help drive out the turnout,” said Galvin, who cited exceptions in Hampden County in western Massachusetts, which has several open legislative seats and a competitive district attorney’s race, and the 6th Congressional District, where U.S. Rep. John Tierney, D-Salem, is facing several Democratic challengers in the primary. In Westfield, a city holding primaries for State Representative and State Senator today, turnout may be slightly above state projections. The Office of City Clerk Karen Fanion is hoping that city residents will consult with the website of the Secretary of State to see whether they are registered to vote, if they are enrolled with a party, and where they’re registered to exercise their constitutional right.

According to the City Clerk’s office, there are 12 polling stations open for voting in the City of Westfield, which is divided into six wards. Both Democratic and Republican primaries will be running from 7 a.m. today until 8 p.m. Westfield Democrats will also choose between two Holyoke candidates – police officer and real estate agent Patrick Leahy and Fire Commissioner Christopher Hopewell – to challenge incumbent Republican Don Humason, Jr. of Westfield for the 2nd HampdenHampshire District seat in the State Senate, who is running unopposed in the November 4 election. Democrat John Velis is also running unopposed in the race for the 4th Hampden District seat in the State House of Representatives, as is his Republican opponent, Daniel Allie, in a rematch of their April 1 special election to fill the seat vacated when Humason defeated Holyoke Democrat David Bartley for his current Senate seat last November. Westfield voters will be selecting their choice for district Attorney today, as well. With no Republican or Independent candidates in the running, city residents will cast their ballots for one of four Democrats – Shawn Allyn of Agawam, Hal Etkin of Longmeadow, Anthony Gulluni of Springfield or Brett Vottero of Springfield – to become the top law enforcement officer in Hampden County.

Jury selection in Easthampton murder case underway NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (AP) — Jury selection for the trial of an Easthampton man charged with killing his girlfriend is almost complete, and opening statements are scheduled for later this week. Fifteen jurors were selected for the first-degree murder trial of Ryan Welch on Monday and the 16th is expected to be selected on Tuesday. The 38-year-old Welch is charged with fatally stabbing 39-year-old Jessica Ann Pripstein in her Easthampton apartment in February 2012. Pripstein called 911 and said that her boyfriend was trying to kill her. Welch was also found in the apartment suffering from what police called a self-inflicted stab wound. Ryan says someone else killed Pripstein, and he discovered the body and was so distraught he tried to kill himself. Opening statements are scheduled for Thursday.

CDC confirms respiratory illness in children in Missouri, Illinois, more testing underway By Natalie Villacorta Politico.com The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has confirmed clusters of a rare but serious respiratory illness in children in Missouri and Illinois, and testing is underway in several other states. The virus, called Enterovirus D68, has affected at least 19 children in Kansas City, Mo., and 11 children in Chicago. News reports have said several hundred children have been hospitalized in the Midwest, but CDC officials say they are still doing testing in about a dozen states to confirm the scope of the problem. “The situation is evolving quickly,” said Anne Schuchat, director of the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, adding she would not be surprised if more states report potential clusters of the virus. “It’s just too soon to say,” Schuchat continued, on whether the virus will keep spreading. Schuchat told a reporters’ conference call that Enterovirus D68 is not a new virus, but it’s “fairly uncommon” and less is known about this particular strain than others. CDC testing confirmed 19 cases out of 22 samples from Kansas City and 11 cases out of 14 specimens from Chicago. The confirmed cases are in children ranging in age from 16 weeks to 16 years, with a median age of four to five years. Over half of the children had a previous history of asthma and wheezing. So far there are no confirmed cases in adults. The agency is currently testing samples from several other states. The virus produces cold-like symptoms, including runny nose, fever, coughing and difficulty breathing. There are no vaccines or anti-viral treatments available. The specific strain was first identified in California in 1962 but has been “very rarely reported” compared to other types of enterovirus, Schuchat said. Enterovirus itself is not uncommon — there are 10 to 15 million cases each year and most go undetected, Schuchat said. Most of those children get sick and recover without serious illness. “Most of the runny noses out there are not going to be turning into this,” Schuchat said, but if parents notice that their children are having difficulty breathing, they should seek medical attention.
Christie: Casinos, tracks can offer sports betting ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie issued a directive Monday allowing his state’s casinos and racetracks to offer sports betting without fear of criminal or civil liability. The governor said he took his cue from previous federal court rulings that found that nothing in New Jersey law prohibits the casinos and horse racing tracks from offering sports betting. His action is likely to be challenged in court by the professional and collegiate sports leagues that fought New Jersey’s efforts to overturn a ban on sports betting in all but four states. That effort ended with the U.S. Supreme Court declining to hear the case. Christie, however, said casinos and tracks can start offering betting immediately. “Based on the arguments of the sports leagues and the United States Department of Justice, the 3rd Circuit has already ruled that New Jersey can carry out sports wagering as described in today’s statewide directive,” the governor’s office wrote in a statement. “The motion simply would clarify and formalize that authority and give clear guidance to casinos and racetracks waiting to open a sports pool in New Jersey.” The professional football, baseball, basketball and hockey leagues, as well as the national Collegiate Athletic Association, all opposed New Jersey’s effort to legalize sports betting, saying it could give the appearance that the integrity of the games has been compromised. The move is a turnaround for Christie, who initially seemed resigned to defeat once the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear New Jersey’s appeal. Christie vetoed a bill in August that would have pushed New Jersey to circumvent a federal law banning gambling on professional and college sports in the state. Christie said at the time disagreed with the court decision but feels the law is “sacrosanct.”
Reid resumes Kochs attacks By Burgess Everett Politico.com Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid didn’t forget about the Koch brothers over the August recess, launching a renewed broadside just minutes after Congress reconvened after the lengthy break. Reid (D-Nev.) accused the billionaire industrialist brothers Charles and David Koch of trying to “fix every election in America to their liking” through their political organizations’ electoral influence, a continuation of his yearlong attacks on the Kochs. His remarks followed a recent summit by Kochbacked Americans for Prosperity that in which Reid was cast as a national boogeyman — a similar label that Reid has attempted to pin on the Kochs. “Radical billionaires are attempting to buy our democracy. Meanwhile, hardworking families who don’t have endless funds to dump into political campaign are expected to sit on the sideline and watch,” Reid said. “When I say that Americans are watching the Koch brothers trying to influence the November elections, I mean that literally.” Reid began his concerted attacks on the Kochs in January, but his remarks on Monday carried new urgency: They came
just three hours before a procedural vote on a constitutional amendment that would allow Congress to regulate campaign finance. Republicans seem likely to advance the amendment past that initial hurdle given their eagerness to debate the issue, though they oppose the underlying legislation and it will ultimately fail. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday cast the Democratic legislation as “repealing free speech protections,” but Reid argued that the amendment is aimed at “restoring freedom of speech for everyone.” “These mega-billionaires who are trying to buy our country, they are trying to buy America at every level of government. Why? Because they want make more money,” Reid said. ” What they have now is not enough. So we’re faced with a choice: We can keep the status quo, or we can change the system and restore the fundamental principle of one American, one vote.” Asked for comment, a spokesman for the Kochs pointed to a Washington Post story about a new ad campaign that highlights the values held by Koch Industries and its employees. Some of those ads ran on major networks on Sunday, the first full day of NFL broadcasts.
Search giant offers pipeline to top jobs By Tony Romm Politico.com Need a government hire? Just Google it. The Obama administration recently has plundered the search giant’s ranks as it looks to augment Washington’s lagging digital expertise and wade through tech policy debates over privacy and patent laws. The latest hire came last week, when President Barack Obama officially selected Megan Smith, a top vice president at Google, to become the country’s next chief technology officer. She replaces Todd Park, who relinquished the
position last month to take on a new role as the administration’s leading emissary in Silicon Valley. The revolving door hardly is a new phenomenon, and other companies have jostled just as ferociously for influence with the tech-savvy Obama White House. But there’s no denying the door is swinging favorably toward Google these days — a major perk for a company that has boosted its Washington presence and often finds itself in the political spotlight. Smith should find familiar company in D.C. The Obama administration this year turned to another Google staffer,
Mikey Dickerson, to oversee the resurrection of HealthCare. gov. He since has been tasked to help recruit more tech experts to government, running the newly formed U.S. Digital Service. The acting director of the country’s patent office — Michelle Lee — also spent years leading patent work for Google. And those top aides and advisers mark only the latest examples of Google employees finding work in Washington. Andrew McLaughlin, who helped start Google’s D.C. team, served a tour of duty in the Office of Science and Technology Policy during Obama’s first term. Many years later, Nicole Wong, a well-known Google lawyer, would briefly follow in his footsteps. Wong, as deputy chief technology officer, led the Obama administration’s exploration of Big Data and privacy issues before departing in August. Her replacement — Alex Macgillivray, whose hiring also was announced last week — most recently served as general counsel for Twitter. Years ago, though, Macgillivray worked for Google, too. Smith’s departure amounts to a loss for Google — but potentially a gain for Washington. She most recently served as a vice president with Google[x], the company’s top-secret research See Google, Page 8

lab, and her lengthy résumé includes significant work to improve employee diversity. Smith’s decision to enter government service drew widespread praise this week from former colleagues and D.C. tech insiders alike. “Megan is a serious and creative technologist with a storied career in Silicon Valley,” said Alan Davidson, director of the Open Technology Institute at the New America Foundation. The former, top Google D.C. staffer added, “Her track record speaks for itself in the tech community, and she would be a huge ‘get’ for any administration.” Google forged an early, deep connection with the Obama administration. Obama’s unexpected talk about tech issues like net neutrality — even when he was an Illinois senator — resonated throughout Silicon Valley, but particularly at the search giant. Company employees contributed roughly $800,000 to Obama’s 2008 election, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. And they chipped in another $800,000 four years later, the records show. Early on, “Obama visited Google’s headquarters,” recalled Gary Shapiro, leader of the Consumer Electronics Association, and he’s since done Google Hangouts and met company leaders. At the White House, Shapiro said there’s “deep relationship and support” — not just for Google but for the entirety of the tech community. “To the extent people from business go to Washington, and become government leaders — I don’t care what their party is, it’s terrific,” said Shapiro, who backed Mitt Romney in 2012. Google’s executive chairman, Eric Schmidt, long has donated big sums to Democrats and supported Obama’s reelection. He even assisted the party with its high-tech voter targeting and outreach efforts. Schmidt assumed a major role advising the White House as a member of the president’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology in 2009, a position he still holds. And the Google executive joined other major CEOs at a dinner with Obama in 2011. Obama has maintained relationships with other major tech companies and executives. His 2011 dinner in California, for example, featured the likes of since-deceased Apple CEO Steve Jobs and Cisco Chief John Chambers. The president more recently joined Marissa Mayer, a Google veteran who now runs Yahoo, for a high-dollar fundraiser for Democrats earlier this year.

Faces of Carson
The Carson Center for Human Services Celebrating 50 Years of Real Help with Real Life 1963-2013 “I’m never going to get out of here alive.” That’s what I told the psychiatrist during my tenth admission to the inpatient psychiatric hospital. I don’t really know for certain if it was the tenth admission; I stopped counting. I could also say that I had stopped hoping, but that wouldn’t be accurate. I had never experienced that thing called hope. Depression is what I had always had—a deep, dark, bottomless pit of despair, taunting me with no way out. No one overeats for no reason. I had 400 pounds of reasons I wasn’t dealing with. “Let us carry the hope for you, until you can carry it yourself,” the psychiatrist said to me. I started going to individual therapy at the Carson Center with a therapist named David. I came in with Major Depressive Recurring Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder and Anxiety with impulse control. I began the Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) program that teaches skills to help regulate emotions, to deal with intense feelings and to interact with others effectively. I learned to be honest with David and the DBT group. We worked through situations together. We set goals. We fought. He made me angry. I definitely made him angry. There were a couple of times I wondered if when I came back, someone else would be sitting there instead of him, but he was always there. We made a relationship built on trust and respect. I could feel that I was getting better, but I still didn’t have energy to do much. I told my Carson psychiatrist that I was feeling less depressed but that I thought the meds were making me too lethargic. So, we made a shift with them and that made all the difference. I had more energy; it was easier to lose more weight. I even went back to school. I finally became abstinent in my 12-step program, Overeaters Anonymous. OA is a program for people who want to stop using food to hurt themselves. So far, I’ve lost over 200 pounds. When I first started at the Carson Center, I wanted my therapist to wave his magic want and to make me better. I was angry HE wasn’t working hard enough to fix me. But I am the one who has to do the work. I need to go to the meetings and do the worksheets and follow the plans and get honest. Now I only have Minor Depression. Not only do I have hope, I’m here to give it: A diagnosis is not a life sentence. You know how it can be on a fall day, right after a quick rainstorm, when you are looking real hard for that rainbow on the horizon, looking all around, and suddenly there it is, the rainbow? Hope is like that. Keep working, keep looking, and there it will be for you. You don’t have to do this alone. In fact, we can’t really do it alone. Come on over—we’re right here for you.

Monkey study:
Ebola vaccine works, needs booster By LAURAN NEERGAARD AP Medical Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — New monkey studies show that one shot of an experimental Ebola vaccine can trigger fast protection, but the effect waned unless the animals got a booster shot made a different way. Some healthy people are rolling up their sleeves at the National Institutes of Health for the first human safety study of this vaccine in hopes it eventually might be used in the current Ebola outbreak in West Africa. The NIH on Sunday published some of the key animal research behind those injections. One reason the vaccine was deemed promising was that a single dose protected
all four vaccinated monkeys when they were exposed to high levels of Ebola virus just five weeks later, researchers reported in the journal Nature Medicine. Is five weeks fast enough? That’s in line with other vaccines routinely used today, and fortunately it didn’t take multiple doses to trigger that much protection, said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, whose employees led the work. The bigger challenge is that the protection wanes over time. Researchers exposed monkeys to Ebola 10 months after vaccination, and this time only half were protected. Partial protection is better

The vaccine is made with a chimpanzee cold virus, used as a delivery system for pieces of an Ebola gene. The researchers tried simply giving another dose as a booster two months later. That didn’t work well enough. So they tried a different approach called “primeboost.” The first dose, to

prime the immune system, was that original chimp virusbased Ebola vaccine. But for the booster two months later, they made vaccine a different way. They encased the same Ebola gene pieces inside a poxvirus that’s used to make a vaccine against smallpox. (Neither vaccine type can cause Ebola.) This time, all four monkeys still were protected 10 months after the initial shot. With the Ebola crisis rapidly worsening, the World Health Organization said Friday that it would try to speed the use of certain experimental products, including two vaccine candidates. The WHO said that in November, it expects early results from first-stage studies to see if the vaccine appears safe and triggers an immune reaction in people. That would help determine whether to test the shots’ effectiveness in health care workers in West Africa. Small animal and human safety studies cannot guarantee that experimental vaccines really work in an outbreak, Fauci said. That’s why he emphasizes public health measures such as isolating the sick, quarantine and, especially for health workers, using See Ebola Vaccine, Page 7

Study: Screening may benefit heavysmoking seniors By LAURAN NEERGAARD, AP Medical Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — Some current or former heavy smokers may benefit from a new lung cancer test even if they’re 65 or older — although they experience more false alarms, suggests an analysis that comes as Medicare is debating whether to pay for the scans. Lung cancer kills nearly 160,000 Americans a year, in part because tumors aren’t usually detected early enough for treatment to stand a good chance. A major study released in 2011 showed that low-dose CT scans of the lungs of people at especially high risk because of heavy smoking can cut their chances of dying from lung cancer by 20 percent. Based on that study, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Forces recently recommended the yearly test for people ages 55 to 80 who smoked a pack of cigarettes a day for 30 years, or the equivalent, such as two packs a day for 15 years. Under the Affordable Care Act, private insurers must start covering the scans with no co-pays. But the health-care law doesn’t require Medicare to pay for the scans, which can cost $100 to $400. A Medicare spokesman said a coverage decision is expected by early November. Medicare’s advisers have questioned if the test really will benefit seniors. Only a quarter of participants in that original study were 65 or older, and no one over 76 got screened. What if the scans were offered to older adults who, because of other health problems common with increasing age, couldn’t withstand cancer treatment if an early tumor were found? On the other hand, 70 percent of all lung cancer cases in the U.S. are diagnosed in people 65 or older. So the National Cancer Institute’s Paul Pinsky and colleagues reanalyzed what happened to the older participants in that original study. To prevent one lung cancer death required screening 245 seniors compared to 364 middle-aged people, those ages 55 to 64, the researchers reported Monday in Annals of Internal Medicine. But screening tests come with trade-offs, such as falsealarms that require invasive follow-up tests to rule out cancer. The older participants had a somewhat higher rate of false-positive scans over three years of tests, 28 percent compared to 22 percent, the researchers reported. As for those who really did have cancer, seniors were as likely to undergo surgery as the younger participants. The five-year survival from lung cancer: 67.5 percent for the under-65 crowd compared with 66.7 percent for 65- to 69-year-olds and 56.5 percent for those older than 70.

Thyroid, kidney cancers up in kids but still rare By LINDSEY TANNER AP Medical Writer CHICAGO (AP) — Children’s kidney and thyroid cancers have increased in recent years, and though the diseases are rare, experts wonder if the rising rates could be related to obesity. The rate for all childhood cancers combined, 171 cases per million children, remained stable from 2001 to 2009 although slight increases were seen in blacks and adolescents, according to a report from researchers at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. During the years studied, there were about 120,000 new cancer diagnoses among infants and children aged 1 through 19. Mostly stable rates of leukemia and brain tumors, among the more common types of childhood cancer, contributed to the overall trend. For thyroid cancer, the diagnosis total was almost 5,000 cases, and the rate climbed from nearly six cases per million children to eight per million children in 2009. For kidney cancer, the total was 426 and the

rate climbed from 0.5 cases per million to 0.7 cases per million. Studies showing increases in both kinds of cancer in adults have suggested causes might include rising obesity rates. Childhood obesity also has increased in recent years and whether that has contributed to the rising cancer rates needs to be determined, the authors of the new study said. Study co-author Dr. David Siegel emphasized that the increases were relatively small and that children’s overall risks for developing cancer are low. Siegel worked on the study while at the CDC but has since moved to Emory University and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. He said the researchers used data through 2009 because more recent data contained inconsistencies. The report was published Monday in Pediatrics. ——— Online: Pediatrics: http://www.pediatrics.org CDC: http://www.cdc.gov

Children’s hospital-linked infections fall By LINDSEY TANNER AP Medical Writer CHICAGO (AP) — Hospitals are becoming safer for very sick children, according to a new study that found steep declines in dangerous infections sometimes transmitted through treatments in intensive care units. The results from 174 U.S. hospitals in 39 states suggest increasing efforts to improve patient safety and reduce preventable health-care linked infections are working, the study authors said. “The bottom line is it’s safer to have a hospitalized child today than it was five years ago,” said study author Dr. Stephen Patrick, a Vanderbilt
University pediatrician and public health researcher. The study involved infections spread through breathing machines and central lines — intravenous catheters used long-term to deliver medicine or fluids deep into the bloodstream. The devices can be contaminated with bacteria and other germs when doctors and nurses don’t adequately wash their hands and through other lax hygiene practices. The study found declines between 2007 and 2012. For central line infections, the rate dropped from just under five infections per 1,000 days of use to about one. For ventilator infections, it fell from just under two per 1,000 days to
less than one. Dr. Peter Pronovost, a Johns Hopkins Medicine patient safety expert, called the results “spectacular and commendable.” He was not involved in the research. The study was published Monday in Pediatrics. ——— Online: Pediatrics: http://www. pediatrics.org CDC: http://www.cdc.gov

personal protection equipment. “Make sure people do what works,” he said. The booster-shot findings illustrate an added complexity to speeding an experimental vaccine into the field. The initial first phase study results would shed light only on that “priming” vaccine made from the chimp cold virus, Fauci said. The poxvirus booster step would be tested later only if scientists decided the initial vaccine was promising enough. Still, manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline has said it plans to begin manufacturing up to 10,000 doses of the initial NIHdeveloped vaccine. Canadian researchers created a similar Ebola vaccine that works in monkeys. Manufacturer NewLink Genetics of Ames, Iowa, said first-stage safety testing in healthy volunteers is set to begin in a few weeks.

saying “the animal control operation is something that the commission has wanted to relinquish control over for quite a time now. We’re looking to make it its own department.” “This (polling the commissioners) is not an unusual thing to do,” said Camerota. “In my 16 years I’ve done it several times with the OK from the Law Department.” The position of Manager of Animal Control Operations had been vacant since the incumbent, Kenneth Frazer, retired after his contract expired at the end of June. Prior to the expiration of his contract, Frazer had been placed on paid administrative leave pending an unspecified investigation. An interview team comprised of Camerota, acting personnel director Karin Decker and Police Capt. Hipolito Nunez interviewed three candidates – the city’s interim animal control officer Kerri Fisher; Nancy Rogers, a veteran veterinary technician employed by a city veterinary clinic; and Lori Charret, a nine-year ACO at the Thomas J.

When asked if making the decision to relinquish their authority via a series of phone calls instead of at a public meeting was legal, Camerota said “The law department said that to poll the commission members is not an unusual tactic” “This is what we did” said Leonard Osowski, acting as chair of the commission in the absence of chairman Karl Hupfer. “I can assure you that nothing was underhanded here. We were just trying to expedite the process” Camerota said. “We had a vacancy and we were looking to fill it.” “We will formally make a recommendation when all three commissioners are present,” he said.

feared he would do harm if they tried to force him out.” Court records indicated that Patterson is a heavyset man, 6-feet-3-inches tall, weighing 230 pounds. The complainant said he was calling from outside his home. Preuss reports that when he arrived the suspect was seen at a second floor window when he started yelling and he and several others saw the man remove his genitalia from his shorts and begin to urinate out the window while yelling and calling attention to his usually private parts. When Preuss and Officer David Burl entered the apartment they found Patterson lying on his back but he refused instruction to roll over and actively resisted their efforts to emplace handcuffs. Patterson was arrested for disorderly conduct, indecent exposure, resisting arrest and trespass. He was released from police custody on his personal recognizance later Saturday morning and appeared in Westfield District Court Monday before Judge Philip A. Contant. Patterson submitted to facts sufficient to warrant guilty findings on all four charges and was placed on probation for one year. He was assessed $50.
Ryan Liquors
Continued from Page 1 from a senior citizen living at 25 Washington Street over a period of time. The victim said she had befriended a male who was living on the street and he frequently came to her apartment. The victim said that about 40 rings, with a total value of about $800, were missing from her bedroom. Officers discovered some of the missing property at an Elm Street jewelry store licensed to buy and sell used and antique jewelry. The city requires that detailed records be kept of used merchandise purchased under that license. The officers photographed that jewelry and showed the photographs to the victim who identified some of it has being her missing property. The jewelry store personnel identified the man who had brought the jewelry into the store and he was located and questioned about how he came to be in possession of the stolen property. The man admitted to stealing the jewelry and that he sold other items on the street and exchanged some of the jewelry for alcoholic beverages at Ryan’s Package store. Investigators later recovered a small white box containing rings. Last night the investigating detective said that he did smell the odor of alcohol on the victim when he made that statement and that the suspect typically had that odor Attorney Paul M. Maleck, of the Springfield law firm of Doherty, Wallace, Pillsbury and Murphy, P.C. , countered that claim, stating that he had interviewed the suspect, when he was not smelling of alcohol and his eyes clear, which resulted in a different statement. “There is a lot more to this story than went into that (police) report,” Maleck said. “There are at least two serious misstatements. Maleck said the suspect is well-known to the staff of the package store, who have in the past loaned him money to eat. The suspect is an alcoholic who does odd jobs for money. Maleck said that when the suspect came to the store with the rings he was asked if that property was stolen and replied that he got a job cleaning out a building and was told that he could keep anything he found, such as the rings. The employees gave the suspect money, but declined to sell him alcohol and told him to leave the store with the rings. Maleck said the suspect left the rings with a clerk as collateral for the money, with the intent that the rings be returned. The manager, Erwin Anderson, said that the rings were never exchanged for alcoholic beverages. “I’m not risking my name, my business for pennies,” Anderson said. “The rings were junk, not worth $30. I have known Moses since the day I bought the store. I believe in helping people, I have given him money in the past and he has always paid it back.” The commission, after considerable discussion, concluded that it was not certain that illegal activity had occurred and cleared the owners of Ryan’s. The board did issue a verbal warning. Commissioner Edward Diaz said there has been “a series of red flags, there was some misjudgment here.” Commission Chairman Christopher Mowatt said there has been “poor judgment” shown as evidenced by a number of failed alcohol compliance stings. “I’m hoping that you will do something differently very soon,” Mowatt said. “I think the statement (of the investigating detective) was clear and accurate. You guys are on thin ice.”

What you need to know about peanut allergy By Jennifer Giffune Correspondent When I was a kid, no one I knew had a peanut allergy. Lunch boxes were teaming with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and at Halloween we all got Snickers and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. In sharp contrast, today we find schools with peanut free tables or bans of peanut products altogether. According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI), a study in 2012 reported that over 4 million children had food allergies; peanut allergy was at the top of the list. As a matter of fact, ACAAI reports that peanut allergy among children tripled from 1997 to 2008. Peanuts are referred to as one of the most common allergens – known as the Big 8. Most people are allergic to one or more of the “Big Eight” – eggs, fish, milk, tree nuts, peanuts, shellfish, soybeans and wheat. Unfortunately, peanut allergy is the one most often associated with serious reactions (e.g. anaphylaxis) making avoidance key to survival. When you are allergic to a food, it means that your body sees the protein in that item as threatening. Exposure to that protein triggers an immune response. In other words, the body releases chemicals that will help fight off the perceived invasion. The symptoms from this chemical response can be mild (e.g. sneezing) to life threatening (closing airways). Every single time there is exposure, no matter how small, this allergic reaction will occur. Peanut allergy is typically a battle waged for a lifetime. A lucky few, about 20 percent of peanut allergic people, will outgrow their allergy. For the rest of the peanut allergic population, being able to identify foods with peanuts (as well as possible peanut exposure) is a full time job. Peanuts are legumes, meaning they grow underground. Peanuts are not the same as tree nuts (walnuts, cashews, almonds, etc.). It is not a given that if there is an allergy to peanuts, then tree nuts have to be avoided at all costs. What we do know is that there is a strong possibility that tree nuts might be an issue. Another area of concern for peanut allergic people is the possibility that other legumes may cause a reaction. Suspect foods include chickpeas/garbanzo beans, soybeans, lentils, lima beans lupine, green beans & peas. Label reading is a must when it comes to peanut avoidance. First take a close look at the ingredient list. Manufacturers are required to list all Big 8 allergens, such as peanuts, in bold face print. Second, just under the ingredient list, manufacturers provide a statement that highlights any of the Big 8 allergens that are in that food. This statement starts with “Contains:“ followed by the names of all the Big 8 that are in that food. There may also be a voluntary statement that details potential cross contamination (when a food that is not an allergen is at risk of exposure to any of the Big 8 during food handling, processing, preparation; use of a shared conveyor belt, utensil, food vat, mixing bowl, etc.). This statement looks like – “This product is processed in a plant that also processes”; showing all of the top 8 allergens that may be processed at the same facility. These three steps are just the beginning, not the end, of the work deemed necessary in determining potential peanut exposure. It is not always easy to spot peanuts in the ingredient list, because they may be noted in an unfamiliar way. The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN) provides an exten-

sive list of ingredients that mean peanuts are in that food, see below: Avoid foods with these ingredients (They mean peanuts): • Arachis oil • Artificial nuts • Beer nuts • Cold pressed, expelled or extruded peanut oil • Goobers • Ground nuts • Mandelonas • Mixed nuts • Monkey nuts • Nutmeat • Nut pieces • Peanut • Peanut butter • Peanut flour These ingredients/foods may mean peanut exposure* • Almond/Hazelnut paste • African, Chinese, Indonesian, Mexican, Thai and Vietnamese dishes • Baked goods • Candy • Cereal • Chili • Dry salad dressing mix • Egg rolls • Enchilada sauce • Flavoring (natural & artificial) • Fried foods • Gravy • Hydrolyzed plant protein • Icing • Marzipan • Nougat • Snack foods (e.g. granola bars, trail mix) • Vegetable protein • Vegetarian meat substitutes *combination list from multiple sites, articles, etc. Anyone allergic to peanuts should be educated about where to look for exposure, signs of an allergic reaction, as well as have a treatment plan in place. This information should be shared with anyone who may come in contact with that peanut allergic person (e.g. parent/teachers/staff at school if a child; spouse/boss/coworkers if an adult). There are therapies currently under investigation to help eradicate peanut allergy. Scientists are looking into many areas that offer promise such as desensitization, immunotherapy, and immunization. Until that day arrives, when peanut allergy is a thing of the past, vigilance in avoidance of all peanut exposure is the best step to take. ——— Jennifer Giffune, R.D., L.D.N. is a freelance author, professional speaker and nutrition counselor.

When asked about the difference between public and private jobs, Barnes said in many areas, there was no difference, but there were “big differences” in others. Barnes spoke about confidentiality being paramount in both the public and private sectors Barnes told the board that when dealing with a difficult customer the first thing to do is calm them down. “Then you can find out what the issue is and solve it,” she said. When asked where she sees herself in five years, Barnes said she hopes to be in a work environment where she could stay until retirement. “I’ve been where I am for nine years and I’m looking somewhere I am comfortable and opportunities to move up,” she said. Barnes, who has a background in banking, said she has many years of customer service experience, as well as a college degree, to bring to the position.

Gould of Kaiser Permanente Southern California, who wasn’t involved in the reanalysis. “Until there is new and direct evidence to
the contrary, it does not seem reasonable to exclude persons aged 65 to 74 years from access to screening,” he wrote in an editorial in the journal.

Saints stop McCann By Chris Putz Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Payback is a … Saint! The St. Mary High School boys’ soccer team avenged last season’s 3-0 loss to McCann Tech with a thrilling 2-1 win Monday at Westfield Middle School North Field. Joey Collins scored the game-winner on a pass from Seamus Butler to erase the
painful memories of a year ago. Zac Girard collected the first score for St. Mary, thanks to a pass from Nick Garde. “It was definitely a good win for us,” St. Mary coach Andrew Martin said. “I was definitely impressed with our energy and intensity that we came out and played with. Our guys played hard the whole game.”
St. Mary goalie Colin Blake was sensational in goal, ensuring Monday’s victory with 18 saves. Girard was solid from the striker position, and Alex Sheltra shut down McCann’s top offensive threat. St. Mary won the majority of 50/50 balls. “Our defense did an outstanding job,” Martin said. “It was an overall team effort.” Westfield Voc-Tech’s Roman Tikhonchuk, right, keeps the ball away from Commerce’s Christian Tigers’ John Goretskiy (19) fends off Mejia, left, during Monday’s high school boys’ Commerce’s Austin Stewart (16) while soccer game at Jachym Field.

Tigers shut out Commerce By Chris Putz Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Dmitriy Stepanchuk notched two goals, and goalie Mike Brut to lead Westfield Voc-Tech to its second victory in as many games, a 4-0 shutout of Commerce Monday. It was the first game in goal for Brut (7 saves). Voc-Tech’s Alex Stepanchuk scored a goal, as did Anatoliy Suprunchuk, his first. Dominic Rosario, Vitaly Melnik, Tyler Hall, and Sergiy Kabysh each had an assist. Hall delivered a solid defensive effort, as well. “It was a great team effort and a great way to start the week,” Voc-Tech coach Kyle Dulude said. “The guys were very excited to play today.” Through two games, the Tigers have outscored the competition, 7-0. Gateway 2, Sabis 1 Josh Baillargeon scored on a first-half penalty kick, and Jonathan Rooney tallied the game-winner early in the second half. Spencer Rock (5 saves) earned the victory in net for Gateway (1-1-1).

Lancers top WHS By Chris Putz Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Jessie Moriarty scored two goals – one in each half – and Sarah Brown notched another in Longmeadow’s 3-0 road shutout of Westfield Monday. The Lancers allowed just two shots on goal, both saves made by Kelly Payne . Longmeadow outshot Westfield, 11-2. “Westfield held Longmeadow well, however, we have to put the ball on the net to cause some scoring opportunities to be a threat,” Westfield coach Karen Gomez said. “We did not have a lot of shots on goal, but we did have great possession of (it).” Bombers’ goalie Karly Mastello finished with eight saves. Westfield fell to 1-2 overall. LATE RESULTS Friday, September 5 JV FIELD HOCKEY After watching Westfield High’s “FAN”tastic Varsity Field Hockey team’s 2-0 victory at Agawam, the elated Junior Varsity team took the field only to be stunned by Agawam’s Junior Varsity team in the first 30 seconds. Lady Brownie Kristen Fellion scored the quick unassisted goal at 29:30. The young Lady Bombers battled back with Kailey King scoring the first Westfield goal off a Diana Shia assist at 5:00. The score was tied 1-1 at the half. Sophomore captain Morgan Shia played strong defensively along with midfielder Mia McDonald throughout the game. Freshmans Moira McDonald and Grace O’Connor provided the offensive spark needed to keep the ball down at the Bombers net. Diana Shia netted the winning goal at 8:30 off a strong assist from Moira. Westfield goalkeeper Gwen Smith had seven saves in the victory. “I’m very proud of the way the girls stepped it up from the early one goal deficit and fought hard for the league win,” Westfield JV head coach Linda Rowbotham said. The JV unit’s record improved to 2-0 entering Monday’s game against league rival, Longmeadow.

Lions double up Bombers By Chris Putz Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Ludlow scored two goals in each half of Monday’s game, two of which came on penalty kicks to defeat Westfield, 4-2. Four different players scored for the Lions. Bombers’ Matt Chlastawa scored one goal and assisted on another from Eric Shilyuk. “I think we got a lot of confidence from (the loss),” Westfield first-year head coach Andrew Joseph said. “(Ludlow) is one of the best teams in the region – it’s a dogfight.” Three cards were issued in the game. “It’s not that we’re going to take moral victories from it, but I think it will give us some confidence and let us know … that if we give everything we’ve got, we’re going to be in good shape.” “We just played against one of the best teams in the region and found out we can play with anybody.” Westfield goalie Ian Saltmarsh collected six saves.

Frustrated ... Dear Annie: I cannot stand to be around my mother-in-law. Since the day I married, “MIL” has been telling my wife and me how to live our lives. She issues opinions on everything from how to raise our dog and decorate our house to how to parent our baby. We can’t go one visit without her making numerous suggestions. I have discussed this with my wife many times to no avail. I don’t feel it is my place to set her mother straight. I’ve told my wife that unless she speaks to her mom about her need to run our lives, nothing will ever change How do I get my wife to understand that I don’t want to deal with this anymore? It stresses me out so much that I’m almost willing to end our marriage in order to get away from my mother-in-law. Please help. -- Frustrated in North Carolina Dear North Carolina: Mom needs better boundaries, but unless your wife agrees, you aren’t going to get anywhere. Please don’t grant your mother-in-law so much importance. She has opinions. You don’t have to take them seriously. Practice nodding and ignoring her. When she comes over, welcome her warmly and then leave the room. It’s the type of diplomacy that married couples have practiced for centuries. Your wife will appreciate your graciousness, and you’ll calm down. Dear Annie: I have a friend -- well, now she’s an ex-friend -who would go to a restaurant and, no matter what she ordered, ask for extra this, extra that. If they provided rolls, she would eat one and ask for more. She would ask for a doggie bag and load it with everything on the table. It was embarrassing. I once asked whether she was going to take the salt and pepper shakers, hoping she would get the hint. If I had leftovers on my plate, she would ask to take them. Once, when I left the table, she had the waiter take the potato skin from my plate and box it up. That was the last straw. Her excuse was that she couldn’t waste food, but honestly, her dog needs my potato skin? I refuse to be an enabler of this odd behavior, so I no longer go to restaurants with her. This woman never starved growing up. She has no money problems. She has a good job, owns her own home and has two cars. Is this connected to hoarding? She also has never invited me into her house. Whenever I picked her up, she was waiting outside. She only has friends for a short while and then stops calling them, claiming they have mental problems. Why would she behave this way? -- Odd Behavior Dear Odd: It’s possible your friend has a compulsive disorder that makes her take things from restaurants, and it could also tie in with her not wanting you to enter her home. It’s also possible she has financial problems or a gambling addiction or some other reason for needing table scraps. We don’t know. But we do think your friend has issues she doesn’t want other people to be aware of, and when someone gets too close, she cuts off the friendship. Dear Annie: This is in response to “Lonely Mother,” who said her children married and stopped visiting. I married three years ago. I, too, didn’t visit my parents very often after that marriage. Here’s why: I was raised to believe it was rude to invite myself over. So I’d call to say hi, but was politely waiting for an invitation that didn’t come. A year after my marriage, my mother commented that I rarely visit. I told her I was waiting to be invited. She was stunned. She never considered that possibility because I am her daughter and am welcome anytime. Once this was cleared up, I started visiting more. -- Love My Mom
HINTS FROM HELOISE Will My Sheets Blow Up? Dear Heloise: Please run an article about BEDSHEETS. I am told that most have formaldehyde in the fabric -- except organic sheets. And wrinkle-free have the highest percentage of formaldehyde. Any hints? -- A Reader, via email Yes, I have hints! Don’t fret too much. You are not sleeping on a time bomb of formaldehyde! The component that helps keep fabrics wrinkle-free may contain a small amount of formaldehyde. But unless you are highly sensitive or sleep with your nose buried in the sheet the whole night, there should not be a problem. Formaldehyde is found in many, many items in and around your home. The levels are below anything considered dangerous. If you are concerned, follow these hints to a healthy sleep, and feel comfortable wearing new clothes. First, wash all new clothing and bedsheets a time or two before wearing or using. This also helps remove some of the “sizing” and will make most sheets feel softer. When shopping for new clothing or sheets, look for labels that state “chemical-free” or “formaldehyde-free.” The word “organic” just means that no pesticides or chemicals were used during the growing of cotton. Formaldehyde or other chemicals may be used during manufacturing. -- Heloise

HOROSCOPE

By Jaqueline Bigar
DOG EAT DOUG
Brian Anderson
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2014: This year you express unusual grace and integrity. You will spend a lot of time reflecting on what is going on. Try to walk away from what no longer works for you. This year is the last of a 12-year luck cycle. By next summer, you will want to be free of anything that does not work in your life. If you are single, date with cynicism, as you might meet several people who are emotionally unavailable. If you are attached, do not keep secrets from each other. Plan on some weekends away together as well. ARIES adds fire to any of your ideas or actions. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Maintain a low-profile and you’ll find that others will respond accordingly. A key partner seems readily available to have an important discussion. Communication opens up when you decide to reveal more of your feelings. Tonight: Energized. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Use the daytime hours to finish up a project. You might want to think through an issue that surrounds a personal matter more thoroughly. Deliberate all you want, but postpone an important discussion for now; someone easily could blow his or her top. Tonight: Settle in. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You will be on top of your game. Take responsibility for what needs to be done, and complete it. You will feel great and be in the mood to join friends or indulge in a favorite pastime. You could have too much energy for your own good. Tonight: Where the action is. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Keep reaching out to someone you care about. It might be difficult to change direction or do something differently. Your ability to honor a new friend’s requests could launch a fun escapade. Don’t overthink -- just go with your initial feelings. Tonight: A force to behold. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You enjoy relating directly to others. Try to understand why a close friend continues to trip him- or herself up. Understand that others respond differently to you because you keep things to yourself. Share your feelings more openly, and visualize what you desire. Tonight: At home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You could be taken aback by someone’s efforts to draw you out. You usually don’t shut down, but lately it seems as though you have. Something else might be happening here. Once the other party starts talking, you will gain understanding. Tonight: Be a duo. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH A loved one could be balking, which might be causing an additional effort on your part to keep him or her on the right course. Let someone you care about express his or her thoughts on the matter. Tonight: So many offers and invitations. Now choose. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You’ll move quickly from one topic to another, as your agile mind is capable of finding answers fast. You know when enough is enough, so make it OK to say “no.” A call could add a lot of romance to your life. Be open to your feelings. Tonight: Get a good night’s sleep. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to move in a different direction, but you’ll want and need more feedback first. Listen to news with a bit more cynicism than usual. Your creativity will emerge toward the end of the afternoon. Use this energy well. Tonight: Love the moment. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Speak your mind, and don’t hold back. It will be clear that you have a different idea from someone else for how to handle a personal matter. Understand that the two ideas could work well together. Return calls and ask long-overdue questions. Tonight: Hang out close to home. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Continue monitoring your finances closely, as there could be a problem where you least expect one. Schedule meetings for the end of the day, when you’re more relaxed. Listen to what someone has to share. This person might have very different views. Tonight: Join a friend. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You will be in your element. As a result, you’ll be able to pull back
