Water treatment facility construction update

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—The new water treatment facility design is continuing to make progress and may start construction before the end of this construction season, according to the city’s water systems engineer Heather Miller.

Miller said that the treatment facility, which will be located on Owen District Road and is based on granular activated carbon (GAC) filtration to remove perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) from city public water wells seven and eight, is at 90 percent design completion. Final steps still need to take place, including reviews and feedback on the project, but this could mean the city may be able to begin construction and installation before the end of the year.

According to Miller, the 90 percent design completion mark signifies “that the drawings and the specifications are undergoing a final round of review so that the city and consultants,” and any comments from the permitting agencies can be incorporated into the design.

“We’re still looking at bidding this fall with construction to begin before end of construction season but that will depend on feedback from permitting agencies, how quickly we get it and if it prompts changes and how quickly we can react,” Miller said.

One major step that has been completed in the process has been the bench scale testing for the GAC filters, which revealed a minimum lifespan of the filters. The filters can be effective in removing PFCs, as well as other contaminants and constituents in water, and as the See Update, Page 8

Planning board hears Dollar General proposal

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—The proposed Dollar General on Southampton Road went before the planning board last night and in spite of a continuation on the hearing, some residents voiced concerns.

The planning board held a public hearing for a possible Dollar General at 627 Southampton Road last night.

The location is the second proposed location on Southampton Road for a Dollar General location, and is roughly across the street from the previous proposal. That previous proposal was denied a special permit by the planning board late last year.

According to Lucien M. DiStefano of Bohler Engineering, who was at the hearing on behalf of the proposed project, the location is on an approximately 1.1 acre parcel on the corner of Egleston Road and Southampton Road, with the parcel being contained within what is currently the Hometown Structures lot on Southampton Road.

The proposal would be for an eventual 7,500 square foot retail location according to the application online, with 30 parking spaces expected and operating hours of 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.

seven days a week. In addition, according to Andrew Comollo of Lisciotti Development, who was also at the hearing on behalf of the proposal, the building’s façade has been upgraded from a previous iteration.

The location is in business A zoning, which city planner Jay Vinskey previously said would make the proposal a by-right use of the zoning.

Concerns about the project arose from some residents who voiced worry about traffic at the location. One such neighbor, John DeNardo, Jr., said that he lives across from the proposed development and during the meeting said that traffic in the area could increase and lead to frustration and accidents.

“Do you know how much traffic and business would be in and out of the location in a given day,” DeNardo queried the board.

“The traffic will be overwhelming,” he added.

DeNardo also voiced concern over the traffic and the location because he said that a bus stop was also across the street and tractor trailers also frequently travel the road.

Superintendent sets priorities for new school year

By AMY PORTER Correspondent WESTFIELD – On Tuesday, Westfield Public Schools Superintendent Stefan Czaporowski sat down with The Westfield News to talk about his and the district’s priorities for the coming school year, which begins in two weeks on Thursday, August 31 for grades 1-12. The first day of school for kindergarten and pre-school is the following Thursday, September 7.

REDISTRICTING Westfield Public Schools Superintendent Stefan Czaporowski. (Photo by Amy Porter)

Czaporowski said priority number one for the year will be the district’s focus on redistricting the elementary schools for K-4, and planning for the grades 5-6 intermediate school and the grades 7-8 middle school for the following year (FY19). He

said that Ronald Rix, director of business services and the newly hired South Middle School principal Paul K. Newton will be leading the overall transition committee. Newton has had experience with transitions in Enfield, CT, where he was principal of Enrico Fermi High School from 2000 to 2016 when it merged with Enfield High School.

Czaporowski said there will also be sub-committees working on the issues of curriculum, transportation, and human resources, among others.

“The redistricting and grade redistribution are going to take a lot of time and energy,” Czaporowski admitted.

The goal of the transition will be to have equal opportunities for all students at every school in the district, and to maintain a system of ongoing communication with all stakeholders throughout the process.

HIGH QUALITY LEARNING EXPERIENCE A second and ongoing priority will be to provide all students a high quality learning experience. The superintendent said this will start with professional development for the staff. A district-wide focus will be on personalized learning, tailoring the educational experience for students by embracing individual strengths, needs and interests. He said the goal will be to raise student engagement and achievement.

Some training has already taken place on inclusive practices for students in special education, trying to get every student in regular education settings. Czaporowski said this practice will also aid a See New School Year, Page 2

Continued from Page 1 district-wide focus to meet targets for SPED sub-groups, an area where the district has fallen short in state assessments.

One of the new programs this year will be an alternative high school for students at risk of not completing their studies. The satellite school will have 26 students, and will be held at Camp Togowauk on Russell Road in Westfield. It will have small class sizes, and a mix of online and traditional courses. Students will be able to make up courses needed for graduation by taking them online through the program Edgenuity, an opportunity also offered to students at Westfield High School and Westfield Technical Academy.

The alternative high school is a continuation of the successful Pathways after-school program begun last year at WHS. Of the 17 students in Pathways, some who had already dropped out and returned and others who were at risk, 14 students graduated, and 3 moved on to their senior year.

The district is also expanding and modifying the curriculum to meet the academic and social/emotional needs of all students, Czaporowski said. New curriculum this year includes Botvin Life Skills for grades 3-10, which will supplement the overall health curriculum also being revamped. Botvin Life Skills, which was approved by the School Committee last year and purchased with the help of a state grant, includes age-appropriate units on substance abuse, focusing on self-esteem as a way to avoid addiction. The state has also updated digital literacy standards on technology for grades K-12, which will be implemented along with upgrades in English and math standards.

Technical High – Springfield, MA, Class of 1967 will hold its 50th Class Reunion from September 29 to October 1, 2017. A full weekend of exciting activities are being planned for this significant milestone with a dinner banquet and live entertainment set for Saturday evening September 30 at the Sheraton Monarch Place Hotel in Springfield, MA. If anyone is aware of classmates who may not have heard about the reunion, either send us their name and contact info or have them email Carolyn or Pam and the Reunion Committee will follow through. Names and information should be emailed to 1967Tech50th@gmail.com

COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS Czaporowski said the third ongoing priority for the district will be to offer a variety of college and career readiness opportunities for all students, which he said has been influenced by the ongoing work of the Westfield Education 2 Business Alliance (WE2BA). He said the district is looking for curriculum on essential skills preparation for college and careers. One of the curricula, Signal Success, was used by Westfield Technical Academy last year.

Another computer program the district has purchased, Navience is intended for use by guidance counselors, parents and students, to help guide students with everything from college applications, student loans (including FAFSA), letters of recommendations and transcripts. “It’s very helpful,” Czaporowski said about the new program.

The district will also be expanding opportunities for dual enrollments with institutions of higher education. The Westfield Promise with Westfield State University will begin with WHS and WTA juniors taking college courses taught by WSU faculty at their schools, and then taking courses at WSU their senior years. A new arrangement with American International College (AIC) in Springfield will also allow any student to take one free class during senior year. Czaporowski said he is also looking to expand the dual enrollment agreement the district has with Holyoke Community College and Springfield Technical Community College.

Czaporowski said the district’s goal is to get all seniors to either take college courses or gain work experience through job shadowing, internships or work studies. They have also transformed an existing position, turning WHS guidance counselor Tara Bean into a college and career counselor who will work with both WHS and WTA. Czaporowski said the district had significant retirements at the end of the school year, fueled in part due to new union contracts which eliminated severance pay. Other personnel either took on new jobs in other districts or were not renewed, leaving the district with approximately 50 jobs to fill at year’s end. He said they are almost fully staffed at this points, and ready to start the school year.

“I’m very excited for the work ahead of us. We have a very dedicated staff, and we have a lot of community support – and we need it, to do what we have to get done,” Czaporowski said.

Holyoke High School – 45th Reunion Looking for classmates….Holyoke High School Class of ’72 is holding 45th on Sept.9 @ the Summitview Restaurant Rt. 5 in Holyoke. For more information please contact Laura Meara at laura.meara@gmail.com before August 18.

German customs intercepts package with 20 snake heads BERLIN (AP) — German customs officers say they have found and destroyed 20 rotten snake heads found in a package that had arrived from Nigeria.

A spokeswoman for Munich’s main customs office said Wednesday that officers discovered the snake parts when they X-rayed a three-kilogram (6.6-pound) package last week.

Marie Mueller said that when officers then opened the parcel the stench of the rotten snake heads was “simply overwhelming and unbearable.”

Mueller said the snake heads were immediately burned to prevent the spread of possible diseases.

She said the customs office has repeatedly intercepted packages from western Africa with snake heads which are sent to Germany as a delicacy.

Worcester wants to lure PawSox WORCESTER (AP) — A Massachusetts city has overwhelmingly passed a resolution directing the city manager to try and bring the Pawtucket Red Sox from Rhode Island.

The Worcester City Council approved the resolution Tuesday night that directed the city manager to "do all that is reasonably in his power" to facilitate the move. Mayor Joseph Petty proposed the resolution.

The Boston Red Sox Triple-A affiliate says it needs a new home to replace aging McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket.

Efforts for $23 million in state money to help build a new stadium in Pawtucket have so far failed.

There is no stadium financing plan in place in Worcester.

Work to begin on park dedicated to marathon bombing victim BOSTON (AP) — The mother of an 8-year-old boy killed in the Boston Marathon bombing says she's pleased that work is about to begin on a park named after her son.

Martin Richard was the youngest of three people killed when two bombs exploded near the marathon finish line on April 15, 2013.

Denise Richard says her son loved parks. She tells The Associated Press that her family is "very excited to see this construction begin and take shape."

Republican Gov. Charlie Baker, Democratic Boston Mayor Martin Walsh and others will join the Richard family Wednesday for a groundbreaking ceremony.

Martin's Park will be built on the South Boston waterfront, near the Boston Children's Museum.

USDA recalls salad bowls due to incorrect gluten-free label WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Department of Agriculture is recalling thousands of chicken Caesar salad products sold at supermarkets throughout New England and New York state due to misbranding.

Business leaders quit Trump panel; he hits back hard

By JOSH BOAK and MICHELLE CHAPMAN Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Tuesday ripped into business leaders who resigned from his White House jobs panel — the latest sign that corporate America's romance with Trump is faltering — after his equivocal response to violence by white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia.

"They're not taking their job seriously as it pertains to this country," the president said at an impromptu news conference at Trump Tower in New York City.

After his remarks, a fifth member of his manufacturing panel resigned: AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka, who said in a statement, "We cannot sit on a council for a president who tolerates bigotry and domestic terrorism."

The president denied that his original statement about the violence in Virginia on Saturday — saying "many" sides were to blame, rather than hate groups — was the cause of the departures.

"Some of the folks that will leave, they're leaving out of embarrassment because they make their products outside" the United States, he said as he seemed to double down on his earlier comments.

Trump also assailed the CEOs who left on Twitter as "grandstanders" and said he had plenty of executives available to take their place. The president added that he believes economic growth in the U.S. will heal its racial divide.

But the parade of departing leaders from the informal panel seems closely linked to how the president responded to events that led to the death of a counter-protester that opposed the white supremacists.

Among those who've left are the chief executives for Merck, Under Armour and Intel and the president of the Alliance for American Manufacturing.

Alliance president Scott Paul, in a tweet, said simply, "I'm resigning from the Manufacturing Jobs Initiative because it's the right thing for me to do." Within minutes of the tweet on Tuesday, calls to Paul's phone were being sent to voicemail.

Wal-Mart CEO Doug McMillon joined the chorus, saying in a note Monday to employees, "(We) too felt that he missed a critical opportunity to help bring our country together by unequivocally rejecting the appalling actions of white supremacists."

Trump renews Twitter criticism of Amazon WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is renewing his attacks on e-commerce giant Amazon, and he says the company is "doing great damage to tax paying retailers."

Trump tweets that "towns, cities and states throughout the U.S. are being hurt - many jobs being lost!"

The president has often criticized the company and CEO Jeff Bezos (BAY'-zohs), who also owns The Washington Post.

Many traditional retailers are closing stores and blaming Amazon for a shift to buying goods online. But the company has been hiring thousands of warehouse workers on the spot at job fairs across the country. Amazon has announced goal of adding 100,000 full-time workers by the middle of next year.

Trump signs order to speed infrastructure construction

By JOAN LOWY and MICHAEL BIESECKER Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Tuesday he has signed a new executive order intended to make more efficient the federal permitting process for construction of transportation, water and other infrastructure projects without harming the environment.

Trump's order includes revoking an earlier executive order signed by President Barack Obama concerning projects built in flood plains, White House officials said. The Obama order required that such projects built with federal aid take rising sea levels into account. Trump has suggested the predicted risks from sea level rise driven by climate change are overblown.

Describing his action, Trump said projects will still be subjected to environmental safeguards.

"It's going to be quick, it's going to be a very streamlined process," Trump said. "And by the way, if it doesn't meet environmental safeguards, we're not going to approve it. Very simple. We're not going to approve it."

Building trade groups had urged Trump to revoke the flood plain order, saying it was overly bureaucratic and increased the cost of projects. The Obama order was especially unwieldy because it didn't standardize across the government how sea level rise was to be taken into account, which left each federal agency to come up with its own standards, said Jimmy Christianson, an attorney with the Associated General Contractors.

A recent draft of an upcoming report from scientists representing 13 federal agencies say sea levels along U.S. coastlines could rise by more than one foot on average by 2050, potentially more in the Northeast and western Gulf of Mexico. A projected increase in the intensity of hurricanes in the North Atlantic will increase the probability of "extreme coastal flooding."

Environmentalists said Tuesday that ignoring the reality of the Earth's changing climate is shortsighted.

"What this order will do is ensure that we will waste more

taxpayer money because federal agencies will no longer have to consider long-term flood risks to federally funded infrastructure projects," said Jessica Grannis, who manages the adaptation program at the Georgetown Climate Center.

The president, speaking at a news conference at Trump Tower in New York, said it can cost hundreds of millions of dollars and 17 years to approve an ordinary highway project because of burdensome regulations. Under Trump's order, agencies must complete environmental reviews of projects within two years on average. Trump signed another executive order on streamlining environmental and public reviews of infrastructure projects his first week in office.

"We used to have the greatest infrastructure anywhere in the world. And today we're like a third-world country," Trump said, using a term referring to the economically developing nations of Africa, Asia and Latin America.

Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao has said that regulations, not a lack of funding, are a primary holdup faced by transportation infrastructure projects. But a Treasury Department report released earlier this year found that "a lack of public funding is by far the most common factor hindering completion" of major transportation and water infrastructure projects.

Democrats have said the administration would be better off implementing streamlining provisions already in law than attempting new efforts. Congress passed transportation funding laws in 2012 and 2015 with dozens of streamlining provisions.

A report by the Transportation Department's inspector general this spring found that although the department had completed work necessary to implement a majority of the 42 streamlining provisions in the 2012 law, they had still not been implemented because regulators had to make changes to comply with the requirements of the 2015 law.

Shannon Eggleston, the American Association of State, Highway and Transportation Officials' program director for environment, said there is still room to make adjustments to the processes for complying with laws protecting endangered species and air quality that won't hurt the environment.

CEOs

Continued from Page 4 But McMillon, whose business has customers on all sides of the political spectrum, plans to stay on a separate Trump advisory panel and said that the president's follow-up remarks on Monday that named white supremacists were a step in the right direction.

Corporate leaders have been willing to work with Trump on taxes, trade and reducing regulations, but they've increasingly found themselves grappling with cultural and social tensions amid his lightning rod-style of leadership. The CEOs who left the council quickly faced his wrath, while those who have stayed have said it's important to speak with the president on economic issues.

Like several other corporate leaders, Alex Gorsky, chairman and CEO of Johnson & Johnson, said that intolerance and racism have no place in U.S. society but that he intended to stay on the manufacturing council.

"We must engage if we hope to change the world and those who lead it," he said in a statement.

A White House official downplayed the importance of the manufacturing council and a separate policy and strategy forum featuring corporate leaders. The official, who insisted on anonymity to discuss private conversations, said the panels were informal rather than a set body of advisers. The departures, the official said, were unlikely to hurt the administration's plans to overhaul taxes and regulations.

Many corporate leaders have faced a lose-lose scenario in which any choice involving politics can alienate customers, not to mention a U.S. president who has shown a willingness to personally negotiate government contracts.

Merck CEO Kenneth Frazier, one of only four AfricanAmericans leading a Fortune 500 company, was the first to tender his resignation Monday.

Trump criticized Frazier almost immediately Monday over drug prices, and again Tuesday for having factories overseas.

Merck has 25,000 U.S. employees in all 50 states and has invested $50 billion in research and development since 2010, primarily in the United States.

Then came resignations from Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank and then Intel CEO Brian Krzanich. On Under Armour's Facebook page Tuesday, customers who supported Trump threatened to boycott the athletic clothier.

Austan Goolsbee, the former chief economist for President Barack Obama, said the departures suggest the president's response to the violence in Charlottesville could alienate those who work for the companies, and those who buy the products and services that they sell.

"It's certainly a sign that Trump's more controversial stuff isn't playing well with companies selling to middle America," said Goolsbee, now a professor at the University of Chicago.

There had already been departures from two major councils created by the Trump administration that were tied to its policies.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk resigned from the manufacturing council in June, and two other advisory groups to the president, after the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement. Walt Disney Co. Chairman and CEO Bob Iger resigned for the same reason from the President's Strategic and Policy Forum.

The manufacturing jobs council had 28 members initially, but it has shrunk since it was formed earlier this year as executives retire, are replaced, or, as with Frazier, Musk, Plank, Paul and Krzanich, resign.

So far, the majority of CEOs and business leaders that are sitting on the two major, federal panels, are condemning racism, but say they want to keep their seats at the table.

East Longmeadow doctor struck, killed by bus in Canada SPRINGFIELD (AP) — A Massachusetts hospital group says one of its doctors was struck by a bus while on vacation with his family in Canada and killed.

The chief executive physician at Baystate Health in Springfield said in a statement to The Republican newspaper that Dr. Michael Plevyak died Sunday in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Vancouver police have confirmed that a 49-year-old man from Massachusetts was killed after getting struck by a bus that pulled away from a curb. Police say the victim was with his family, and an elderly man and Plevyak’s 15-year-old daughter were also injured.

Plevyak lived in East Longmeadow and worked in the hospital’s obstetrics-gynecology department.

Chief physician executive Dr. Andrew Artenstein says Plevyak “leaves a legacy here as a beloved physician and educator.”

The crash remains under investigation.

Murder suspect: I was too high to understand Miranda rights SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts murder suspect who wants statements he made to police dismissed as evidence has told a judge that he was too high on drugs to understand his Miranda rights.

Lee Rios is charged with murder in the March 2015 shooting of 18-year-old Kenneth Lopez in Springfield.

The Republican reports that the 24-year-old Rios told a judge at a hearing Tuesday on his motion to suppress evidence that he had been smoking marijuana sprinkled with PCP and also had been drinking. He said the combination makes him paranoid and unable to think straight.

Rios said he signed the Miranda warning because he wanted to get information from police and they said he had to sign it before they would talk to him.

The judge did not immediately rule.

FOODTRAVEL COOKING ON DEADLINE

Korean-Style Grilled Short Ribs

By KATIE WORKMAN Associated Press Those who love short ribs LOVE them.

Those who haven't cooked them at home before might be a little intimidated by them.

Let's bridge that gap.

In general, short ribs have to be cooked either low and slow, or very quickly over high heat so that they don't become tough. This recipe calls for almost flash grilling, just 3 or 4 minutes on each side.

Because this is a fast-cooked short rib recipe, the cut you'll want to buy is "flankenstyle," where the ribs are cut across the bones into thin slices. This allows the surface to caramelize while keeping the middle juicy and tender.

Sometimes, if you find a very, very nice butcher (and I surely did), he or she will cut the flanken in strips in such a way that there are no bones in the slices. This might be more expensive, and some flanken purists might insist that the bones add flavor and are part of the point of short ribs. But when it comes time to eat the meat, boneless flanken strips make for very easy dining.

You can serve these on their own, with a big pile of fluffy rice. I like to serve this the way a number of Korean meat dishes are served, with rice and lettuce leaves, and some condiments of your choice. A bit of the meat and a bit of the rice goes into a lettuce leaf, along with any extras, and then you fold up the lettuce around the filling. This is known as ssam, or lettuce wraps, and they are a lot of fun. The balance of the crisp vegetables, fresh herbs, rich meat and fragrant rice works every time,

even though it might be slightly different every time. Part of its charm. Add what you like, skip what you don't, and wrap and eat.

Along with the easily available suggestions for add-ins below, sometimes kimchi is offered, and a condiment called ssamjang, which translates to "wrapping sauce." If you can find either, add them to the offerings.

You can also broil these instead of grilling during the months when you are cozying up to your stove instead of your grill.

KOREAN-STYLE GRILLED SHORT RIBS Serves 8 Start to finish: 13 hours (included 12 hours marinating time) ——— 5 scallions, trimmed and cut into pieces 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce 1/2 cup brown sugar 3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon sesame oil 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 2 1/2 pounds bone-in beef short ribs , cut across the bones into 1/2 inch slices Cooked rice Optional, for serving: 2 tablespoons sesame seeds Large lettuce leaves, such as tender Boston or Bibb Slivered scallions

This July 2017 photo shows Korean-style grilled short ribs in New York. In general, short ribs have to be cooked either low and slow, or very quickly over high heat so that they don’t become tough. This recipe calls for almost flash grilling, just 3 or 4 minutes on each side.

(Katie Workman via AP)

Cucumbers and carrots, cut into matchsticks Slivered radishes Fresh herbs, such as basil, mint and cilantro Sriracha or other hot chili sauce ——— Place the scallions, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, vinegar, sesame oil, black pepper and cayenne pepper in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.

Place the short ribs in a container, pour the marinade over them and turn to coat well.

Cover the short ribs and refrigerate from 12 to 24 hours.

Just before grilling, toast the sesame seeds, if using, by heating a small skillet over medium high heat, then adding the seeds. Toss and stir for a few minutes until they become deeper golden in color, but watch carefully as

they can burn quickly. Transfer to a small plate.

Preheat the grill to medium high. Remove the short ribs from the marinade. Grill for about 4 minutes on each side, until the outside is caramelized and the middle is mediumrare. Allow the meat to sit for 5 minutes before slicing across the grain and serving with the hot rice. Or, if you prefer (and do consider this), slice the meat thinly and serve it with any or all of the suggested accompaniments. Let each diner wrap up some meat and rice with whatever extras they want, and make it an interactive dinner.

Dangerously cheesy? Cheetos pop-up restaurant opens in NYC

By KAREN MATTHEWS Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — Gourmet fun or just plain cheesy?

A three-day pop-up restaurant devoted to Cheetos, yes Cheetos, opened in Manhattan on Tuesday, with every table already booked with diners ready to pay between $8 and $22 for such creations as Cheetos meatballs, Cheetos crusted fried pickles, Cheetos tacos, Mac n' Cheetos and even Cheetos cheesecake.

"I worked hard to incorporate Cheetos into every dish and not just say, 'Oh here's a dish with a sprinkle of Cheetos on top,'" said spiky-haired celebrity chef Anne Burrell, who was given the task of coming up with the menu for The Spotted Cheetah. "I really tried to think about the flavor of each Cheeto and what would pair really well with it."

But the question seemingly on everyone's orangecoated lips is: Why? Makers of the popular puffed cornmeal snack say the pop-up was the deliciously shrewd result of whimsy and marketing after executives noticed Cheetos fans posting their own recipes incorporating the crunchy treat on social media.

"So we thought it was a great trend to try to capital-

ize on and bring to life an idea, a concept like this really that spoke to how you could use Cheetos in such a variety of different ways," said Ryan Matiyow, a marketing manager for Frito-Lay, a unit of PepsiCo. He said the 300 reservations available for the eatery's three nights sold out within six hours.

Burrell, host of Food Network's "Worst Cooks in America" and other programs, showed off some of her dishes as her staff scrambled to prepare the food and set places in a dining room decorated with swaths of orange fabric and images of brand mascot Chester the Cheetah.

Crumbled Cheetos are part of the breading on chicken Milanese and fried green tomatoes. A garnished Cheetos beverage accompanies a grilled cheese, tomato and bacon sandwich that gets an extra crunch from Cheetos. Desserts feature the cinnamon sugar Cheetos variety known as Sweetos.

Melissa Abbott, a vice president of the Hartman Group, a consumer research firm, said the Cheetos restaurant is partly a reaction to the emphasis on health in today's food culture.

"All of the salad and juice bars and all that ... At some point you have to balance the scales a little bit and have some fun."

Government joins food fight over menu labeling requirements

By FRANK ELTMAN Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. government has joined a food fight between New York City and a national group opposing new food labeling regulations for chain grocery and convenience stores.

The Department of Justice filed legal papers this week on behalf of the Food and Drug Administration, asking a judge to block the city from enforcing a law requiring some stores serving prepared foods to post calorie information where the foods are sold.

"FDA intends to utilize the authority given to it by Congress to craft uniform national standards for food labeling," said agency spokeswoman Jennifer Corbett Dooren.

The National Association of Convenience Stores is challenging the rules in court, arguing that provisions of President Barack Obama's health care bill called for national standards and that enforcement by local municipalities violates that law.

The FDA and New York City have similar calorie labeling requirements, but the FDA said earlier this year it would delay implementation until May 2018.

The New York City Health Department has said it plans to begin enforcement of its requirements on the chain grocery and convenience stores beginning next Monday.

"We are disappointed that the Food and Drug Administration has filed (court documents) opposing the city's enforcement of its calorie labeling requirements," Health Commissioner Dr. Mary T. Bassett said in a statement.

New York City has required chain restaurants to provide information about calories on menus for nearly a decade, but decided earlier this year to expand the policy.

"Poor nutrition is fueling an epidemic of chronic diseases, and this basic information should be accessible and transparent to all," Bassett said.

Despite the legal challenge from the convenience store trade group, many pizza chains, convenience stores and grocers have already taken steps to comply with the FDA rules that go into effect next year.

It applies to chains with 20 or more locations.

The National Association of Convenience Stores says many convenience stores, which are selling more prepared foods than ever, don't want to roll out the information until they're certain the rule is final.

This June 24, 2017 photo shows a fava bean tabbouleh in Coronado, Calif. This dish is from a recipe by Melissa d'Arabian.

Give your tabbouleh a face-lift by adding fava beans

By MELISSA D'ARABIAN Associated Press Beans are an inexpensive and lean source of protein, fiber and micronutrients. But it's easy to fall into a bean rut.

White beans, black beans, garbanzo beans and fresh green beans easily make their way to the table relatively frequently.

Consider widening your bean circle and including fava beans, also known as broad beans (perhaps more commonly so, thanks to a "Silence of the Lambs"induced PR problem). Fava beans are relatively large and flat irregularlyshaped beans that have a creamy, almost buttery taste. They are available in the grocery store frozen fresh, canned, dried, or (my favorite) cooked and vacuum-packed on the packaged vegetable shelf. A quarter cup of fava beans has about 125 calories, and delivers about 10 grams each of protein and fiber, as well as vitamins and minerals, particularly magnesium and iron.

The mild flavor and pleasant nonmealy texture mean the fava bean is

perfect for swapping into almost any of your favorite bean recipes — salads, stews, and soups all get a nice face-lift from bringing in a new bean. This Fava Bean Tabbouleh recipe replaces classic bulgur wheat with fava beans, and the result is a fresh, herbaceous side dish that is hearty enough to work as a meatfree main dish.

The salad is sturdy enough to survive brown-bagging or picnicking, or simply an extra day in the fridge if you have leftovers. Grabbing a box of cooked fava beans at the market turns this dish into convenience food you can feel great about.

FAVA BEAN TABBOULEH Servings: 6 Start to finish: 15 minutes 2 cups cooked fava beans 1 1/2 cups parsley leaves (and soft stems), chopped 1/2 cup cilantro leaves (and soft stems), chopped

1/4 cup mint leaves, roughly chopped 1 large tomato, chopped 2 tablespoons minced shallot Dressing: 1/4 cup lemon juice (approximately 2 medium lemons) 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1 clove garlic, minced 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon chili powder salt and pepper Place the beans, herbs, tomato and shallot in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients, and pour onto the salad and toss. Will keep for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.

Changing tastes brew bitter times for Japan’s beer makers YURI KAGEYAM AP Business Writer TOKYO (AP) — From beer gardens on the rooftops of department stores to fireworks extravaganzas to quiet, wood-paneled craft breweries, Japanese seem to quaff an awful lot of beer in the summer.

But beer consumption has been tanking for five years straight in Japan, as the younger generation shies away from the obligatory after-work drinking that was a trademark of the dark-suited heroes of Japan Inc. Japan’s annual per capita beer consumption fell about 7 percent between 2010 to 2015, according to a study by major beer maker Kirin.

The future outlook is for more of the same.

It’s such an obvious trend that there’s a Japanese phrase to describe it, “beerooh banareh,” or “leaving beer,” a gradual decline that hit after beer drinking peaked in about the mid-1990s.

Younger Japanese tend to be more independent-minded than their baby boom generation parents or their grandparents, who saw going out for beers with their office bosses and coworkers as a call of duty.

Brews also are losing out in Japan to a wide variety of other liquors, from wines to “kanchuhai” fruity cocktails, whiskies and cheaper beer-like drinks, and of course, sake.

Naturally, all this worries Haruhiko Matsuba, marketing manager for Asahi Breweries, the industry leader in Japan.

“The custom is getting lost,” said Matsuba, who says he enjoys a beer or two a day. “Beer can offer joy, happiness and smiles, and so everyone should try beer again.”

Asahi, founded in the late 1800’s, is an institution in Tokyo, where its huge golden suds sign shines on the banks of the Sumida River. The annual Sumida River summer fireworks it sponsors each July work like one big huge ad for its beer — this year the city’s governor, Yuriko Koike, donned a summer kimono for televised “kanpais” —traditional toasts — by the river.

In its effort to grab attention and help reverse the decline in beer consumption, especially among the younger generation, the iconic Japanese brand has turned to Hollywood. It tapped actor Johnny Depp to help sell a limited-edition version of its 30-year-old hit Super Dry — the brew that helped catapult it to No. 1 in the Japanese beer industry in 1998. The company’s latest ad campaign features Depp riffing on an electric guitar on a rooftop before popping a cold one.

“He is an extraordinary character,” Matsuba told The Associated Press. “It’s about the unexpected factor of Hollywood.”

To expand its already formidable global reach, Asahi has signed agreements with overseas beer brands, such as Italy’s Peroni, the Dutch Grolsch and Pilsner Urquell of Czechoslovakia.

Other Japanese breweries also are expanding. Asahi’s rival, Sapporo Holdings, which has been the No. 1 Japanese beer maker in the U.S. for three decades, announced this month it was acquiring Anchor Brewing Company.

It likely would take way more than a cameo

by Depp, though, to reverse the trend away from beer.

Data compiled by Kirin Brewery Co., a rival Japanese brewery, found the annual global consumption of beer, at nearly 184 million kiloliters, fell in 2015 from the year before, for the first time in 30 years, as consumption in China peaked.

By region, Asia still tops the world in beer consumption, making up 34 percent of global beer guzzling, followed by Europe at 27 percent. North America accounts for 14 percent and Africa just 7 percent, according to the Kirin study.

By nationality, Czechs were No. 1 in per capita consumption of beer. Americans ranked No. 20, while Japanese were 55th, down from 38th in 2010.

“The days of the daily ‘kanpai’ and chugging beer are over,” says Kirin spokeswoman Naomi Sasaki.

At least, though, Japanese are starting to appreciate more nuanced craft beers, she says, reflecting their more individual-oriented lifestyles.

Japan now has about 200 small craft breweries, giving consumers more choice about the beers they drink, said Hiroyuki Fujiwara, president of the Japan Beer Journalists Association.

Fujiwara believes changing tastes in part reflect a change of perspective after the tsunami and nuclear disaster in northeastern Japan in 2011. These days, many Japanese are less concerned about keeping up with their neighbors, he said.

“The biggest contrast to that kind of thinking is the bubble era when people simply wanted what was considered cool by society, be it their home or their car,” he said, referring to the go-go economy of the late 1980s, which collapsed in the early 1990s.

Last year, Kirin signed a deal with Brooklyn Breweries, founded by former AP war correspondent Steve Hindy, to replicate its flavors

Kirin also opened a craft brewery — still relatively uncommon in Japan — in Tokyo’s fashionable Daikanyama district two years ago: Spring Valley Brewery. Asahi opened one near its head office recently.

Kirin’s brewery has a western menu, spacious terrace and beers with names like DayDream and Jazzberry that are brewed behind transparent walls.

Shizuka Nagasawa, 29, was enjoying a recent weekday afternoon off at Spring Valley Brewery with her husband Keita Nagasawa and their 3-year-old son. They’re such fans they joined the brewery’s club and have craft beer delivered to their home each month.

“There is such a wide range, like bitter-tasting ones and fruity flavors. Checking them out is fun,” said the clerical worker at a tea-maker.

Later that day, in Nihonbashi, an older part of downtown Tokyo, about a dozen “salarymen,” jackets and ties off, each armed with a

glass of cold beer, were downing their afterwork beers the old-fashioned way.

At Mitsukoshi department store’s rooftop beer garden, it was all-you-can-eat-and-drink for three hours at 4,801 yen ($44) for men and 4,301 yen ($40) for women. The food: classics like fried noodles, curry and wieners. The star beer: Asahi Super Dry. Eiji Itou, 50, a technology company employee who was sitting beside his company’s president, shrugged at the notion that drinking with co-workers in a beer garden is no longer trendy.

“Kanpai,” the group shouted in unison, raising their beers together and gulping them down.

“We, the old guys, are upholding tradition,” he said with a smile.

and Michael C. Sheldon, and dropped by Stanley Park on one Saturday morning in his father’s ’62 Corvette. Needless to say, during the interview there were several interruptions as onlookers stopped to take photos and inquire about the car’s history.

“My father has had this car since I was born,” said Sheldon, noting he has always shared his father’s passion for cars.

After graduating with a major in psychology from the University of Rhode Island in 2004, Sheldon found employment in a variety of social work settings over the years, from a group home for developmentally challenged individuals in the Boston area to serving as a supervisor in West Springfield at a residential youth detention facility. During all of his career transitions, Sheldon knew something was missing.

While employed as a case worker for an intensive foster care agency, he said he attended a school meeting with an automotive shop teacher and at that moment he had an epiphany that would change the trajectory of his life.

Sheldon said it took time to build up the nerve but soon he enrolled in a year-long automotive vocational program at the Porter and Chester Institute for the “sole purpose” of becoming an auto shop instructor.

After graduating with ASE certifications in 2012, he first pursued career options at Subaru dealerships in particular and eventually landed at the Heuberger Subaru in Colorado Springs where he learned the management side of the

Since he did not meet “their high sales demands,” he turned the corner and officially became an entrepreneur as director of ASV – a role he knows is part of his ultimate career destination. In addition, he also creates “car part art” for a Colorado gallery which will help fund his plans to give scholarships to young people when he opens the doors to his shop in early 2018.

“ASV is a 10-week program to help fulfill a gap in the skilled auto trade industry,” said Sheldon, noting a steady decline of skilled workers in blue collar industries due in particular to retirement. “The curriculum will include each of the major systems each of us use every day and upon completion the graduate will have knowledge, experience and the ‘do-it yourself’ attitude that is missing in many of today’s schools.”

Sheldon will begin ASV with home school students and eventually expand to include atrisk teens from the Life Skills High School, an alternative school in Colorado Springs School District 11.

“One of the largest problems at post-secondary ‘for-profit institutes’ is the instructors do not hold the students accountable for the handson work that they perform,” said Sheldon.

“This becomes a major problem when the student enters the workforce because their quality of work suffers greatly.” ASV classes will include knowledge-based learning as well as hands-on training.

filters collect contaminants their effectiveness can decrease over time.

According to Miller, water from well eight was sent to a laboratory where it was run through GAC filters, testing to see if other contaminants would compete with the carbon sites within the filters, as well as to see if PFCs were effectively removed.

Miller noted that constituents within the water were not competing significantly with the PFCs for the carbon, so no additional pre-treatment is necessary. In addition, “no breakthrough of any of the PFCs were observed in the commercially available granular-activated carbon.”

Per Miller, the findings translate to the material within the filters can last at least one year.

Curriculum topics will range from shop safety, vehicle maintenance, basic electrical theory and brake repair and replacement, to steering, suspension and alignment techniques and engine configurations for both diesel and gasoline vehicles. Additionally, topics will include intake, fuel systems and exhaust, transmissions, transaxles, cooling, heating and air conditioning systems, and power adders, turbos and superchargers.

Sheldon is “stoked” to instill the proper knowhow and confidence with the next generation of young people interested in the auto industry – either as a hobby or a career. The crowdfunding campaign he expects to start in September will help him open the garage in Colorado Springs for classes that has been on the drawing board now for several years.

Followers can also stay abreast of his progress through several social media sites including Auto Shop Vocational on Facebook and Car Part Art on Instagram. Sheldon also anticipates offering the curriculum in a scaled-down version to adults who desire a foundation in automotive technology as ASV evolves.

“I’m following my dream,” said Sheldon, adding he is hopeful that people will reach out and support the crowdfunding effort. For more information on the campaign, email Sheldon at coautoshop@gmail.com.

With his positive attitude and can-do spirit – it is only a matter of months before Sheldon opens the garage doors for his first students to enter.

Planning Board

Continued from Page 1

Other neighbors spoke in concern about the traffic, as well, echoing concerns that DeNardo addressed.

According to DiStefano, traffic at the location would be expected to have a total of 29 trips in the peak morning hour, which translated to one new trip every 4 minutes. During peak afternoon time, 52 trips, which translated to one new trip every 2 minutes.

Previously, it was also reported that in a letter within the application to the planning department it was said that “anticipated peak hour vehicles do not meet MassDOT thresholds for further traffic analysis.” MassDOT oversees the area because it is a state road.

Philip McEwan, chair of the planning board, also responded during the discussion. Among his comments was that the proposal is within the business A zoning.

“This is a site plan review, we cannot say no,” he said. “By right they can build a store.”

Ward one city councilor Mary Ann Babinski spoke during the hearing as well, addressing the proposal and urging those there to work with residents regarding their concerns.

“I hope that Dollar General will become a good neighbor like some of the other businesses have. This traffic issue is a very big concern for the people that live near there,” she said.

The planning board opted to have a continuation on the hearing until Sept. 5, as they await final engineering storm water review, Vinskey said. In addition, the board suggested improvements to the landscape and fencing, among other potential changes.

STATE CHAMPION WMASS District 7 U-14 Girls’ Soccer

Three-peaters WESTFIELD – The girl’s Under-14 District 7 soccer team strived to defend their 2015 and 2016 State Championship recently in Lancaster in the District Select Program tournament.

DSP is the summer league run by Massachusetts Youth Soccer Association.

The league features “select teams” from throughout the state that compete at various ages (U11-U19 for both boys and girls).

Western Mass (District 7) is the largest geographic district stretching from the New York boarder to the west, Vermont to the north, Connecticut to the south and just past Palmer to the east.

The U14 girls’ team was comprised of players throughout the Pioneer Valley, many of whom had won the state championship that last two years. Their win in 2015 was the first DSP state title for Western Mass in over a decade at that time.

During the regular season, which ran during the month of July, the team compiled an excellent record of 5-0-2, only allowing only three goals during seven matches behind a strong defense led by Sarah Shaw (Southwick), Nell Dwyer (Amherst), Hannah Duggan (Palmer) Emily Kibler (Chicopee) Brielle Los (Chicopee) and Dana Chateauneuf (Granby). Selena Negron (Easthampton) served as the goalie for the team posting four shutouts during the regular season.

The first weekend of August provided the opportunity for the girls to participate in the playoffs and the right to defend their state title.

The Western Mass players performed exceedingly well, going undefeated 4-0.

They scored 16 goals and let up just three.

Their record provided them the opportunity to advance to the state championship on Sunday afternoon.

The finals matched up the Western Mass girls against a team from District 2. District 2 is made up of players from just south of Boston from towns like Duxbury, Raynham and Quincy. This was the third year these two districts met for the championship. This year, both teams had many of the same players on their roster from the previous two years.

District 7 controlled the tempo for the first

15 minutes of the match. They kept the pressure on the girls from the eastern side of the state and had a number of scoring chances, but were unable to find the back of the net.

District 2 scored first, netting a goal about 20 minutes into the match. However, the lead would be short-lived, as within five minutes, Annika Jensen (Westfield) fed a ball to Sam Breton (Chicopee) who scored the equalizer.

Within five minutes, District 7 would post a second goal when Addy Lepak (Amherst) dropped a ball back to a waiting Cristina Negron (Easthampton) at the top of the penalty box. Negron sent a ball over the top of the reaching keeper for District 2 to give District 7 the lead.

As the second half started, District 7 held a 2-1 advantage, but within the first 15 minutes District 2 would get a chance to tie the game.

A handball in the penalty box resulted in a penalty kick for District 2. The first shot was waived off as a player entered the area too soon. Selena Negron stared down her opponent and while she was able to make a phenomenal save, the ball rebounded back to the shooter who placed it in the back of the net to tie the game a 2-2.

About 10 minutes later, District 7 earned a corner kick. Annika Jensen drew the responsibility to take the kick. The ball was played into the area and District 2 cleared it, but it found its way back at Jensen’s feet and she played it across the box to an incoming Emma Pedro (Westfield) who would score easily on the back post.

Leading 3-2, the District 7 girls continued to pressure the team from the opposite side of the state. Sam Breton found the feet of Megan Alvarado who took a quick shot to beat the keeper on a low rolling ball. District 7 was able to defend their 4-2 lead over the final five minutes. When the final whistle blew, the players dashed for their goalkeeper and celebrated a third straight state championship, defeating their now rivals from the opposite side of the state.

District 7 was coached by Todd Jensen of Westfield and assisted by Dave Lepak of Amherst.

Gwen Duggan (Palmer), Hannah Duggan (Palmer), Nell Dwyer (Amherst), Emily Kibler (Chicopee), Addison Lepak (Amherst), Brielle Los (Chicopee), Cristina Negron (Easthampton), Selena Negron (Easthampton), and Miranda Sandoval (Palmer).

Dear Annie

By ANNIE LANE

Droning Co-worker Dear Annie: I have a co-worker who, for many reasons, drives me up the wall. “Lana” is older than I am by at least 35 years and sits across from me at work. This would be fine, except she will not stop talking. No matter how little interest I show or how many times I say “You told me this before,” she will natter on and on and on.

She talks about everything and anything -- her pets, her friends, her friends’ marital/financial/health problems, what she had for dinner, “funny” things she’s found on Facebook.

Even if I have headphones on or am clearly not listening, she’ll keep talking. It’s infuriating and very distracting for all of us in the office.

To add to this, she has a serious case of one-upmanship syndrome. No matter who in the office is having a conversation -- we have an open floor plan -- she has to butt in with her own unsolicited opinion and make it about her. It’s gotten to the point where I can’t have a single conversation at the office with any of my other co-workers without her interrupting and taking over the conversation.

For example, a younger co-worker and I were discussing housing in our town. (We both rent.) She barged into our conversation with her own horrible landlord experiences, though we hadn’t asked her opinion or advice. Her experiences were also 30 years out of date and thus not even relevant.

How do I politely tell her to shut up and mind her own business? -- Tired of Interruptions in the Midwest Dear Tired of Interruptions: I have a feeling you’ll have a hard time politely telling her anything, because your fuse is about a centimeter long at the moment. Talk to human resources instead. This problem affects the whole office, not just you, so it should be of concern to management.

Dear Annie: My brother, executor of my father’s will, and I had a falling out a few years back. To punish me, he took $3,000 from my inheritance, claiming it was for an alleged loan I took from my father. He has no proof of this, nor did it ever happen. And he did not deduct the expenses of major purchases Dad made for my sisters, which were common knowledge among the family.

Do I have any legal recourse? Or should I just let it go and write him out of my life for good? -- Wondering Dear Wondering: It’s unfortunate that estate settlement winds up tearing so many families apart when the most important thing parents hope to leave their children is not a thing at all; it’s a legacy of love and kindness.

I’m sorry to hear what your brother did to you. Though it’s hard to say without the details, it sounds as if there’s a very good chance you have legal recourse. Contact an attorney to explore your options.

HINTS FROM HELOISE A CLEANER PURSE Dear Heloise: When I carry liquids, lotions, creams and gels in my handbag, I always seal each container in a plastic sandwich bag. I don’t want to risk a spill or a messy, greasy cleanup. -- Mary C., Bloomfield Hills, Mich.

I’m all for saving those handbags! -Heloise HINT FROM HIM Dear Heloise: I’ve solved the problem of going to the grocery store and winding up with a shopping cart that has a wobbly wheel, pulls to one side or has a clicking noise.

I do the following: I take one or two carts back up to the store from the parking lot. This way, I can “test-drive” a cart and ensure that the cart I push around the store is a good one.

This also assists the store in rounding up carts left in the parking lot. Everyone should take in a cart or two instead of walking past and leaving them on the lot. -- James A., Abilene, Texas Wonderful, James! Alert store personnel of the bad cart, and help out the cart-pushers by bringing in a cart, especially in that Texas heat! -- Heloise WHISTLE WHEN YOU GET LOST Dear Heloise: When we go on camping trips to the mountains, I bring whistles and put them on strings and hang one around everyone’s neck when they go exploring.

I blow my whistle and wait for a return whistle -- no one gets lost! -- Donna in California CALL ON YOUR CREDIT CARD Dear Readers: Before traveling, call your credit/debit card company and/or bank to let them know, so they won’t flag your card for suspicious usage. This can save a lot of time. -- Heloise

On The Tube Fox removes video with cars plowing through demonstrators

By DAVID BAUDER AP Television Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Fox News said it has removed a video from its website that depicted cars plowing through demonstrators, saying it was “inappropriate.”

The development was part of another fast-moving day Tuesday for media keeping up with the fallout from a violent racial protest over the weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia, including a contentious late-afternoon news conference by President Donald Trump and a deleted presidential tweet.

The 90-second video had been picked up in January from The Daily Caller, a website co-founded by Fox personality Tucker Carlson. The Daily Caller’s video editor, Mike Raust, wrote when it was posted: “Here’s a compilation of liberal protesters getting pushed out of the way by cars and trucks.

Study the technique; it may prove useful in the next four years.”

The video, its existence reported by Slate Tuesday, was reposted on the Fox Nation opinion website.

“The item was inappropriate and we’ve taken it down,” said Noah Kotch, Fox News Digital editor-in-chief. “We regret posting it in January.”

A car struck a group of counter-demonstrators to a white nationalist event in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday, killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer and injuring 19.

Representatives from The Daily Caller did not immediately return messages seeking comment.

Also Tuesday, the president retweeted and deleted a cartoon showing a train labeled “Trump” running over a man with “CNN” covering his face.

His news conference from Trump Tower featured the president answering several questions about his reaction to violence at the weekend demonstration, and appearing to equate the actions of demonstrators on both sides. Shortly after the session, broadcast live on television, a CNN onscreen headline said: “Trump News Conference Goes Off the Rails.”

MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace, once an aide to former President George W. Bush, emotionally waved a printed copy of a tweet from former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke praising Trump’s news conference and said of Trump’s staff, “who resigns over this? Which one of you is leaving your job?”

On CNN, analyst David Chalian said that “this is a president who has lost touch with the country that he represents.”

The news conference drew a mixed response by commentators on normally Trump-friendly Fox News Channel, although Trump had his supporters.

“I think he did a great job today,” said Madison Gesiotto, an analyst on the network. “He’s a leader.”

Mowins to be first woman to call NFL play-by-play for CBS The Associated Press Beth Mowins will become the first woman to call NFL play-by-play for CBS. Mowins will team with former NFL kicker Jay Feely for her debut on Sept. 24 when Cleveland plays at Indianapolis. The network released its announcer pairings Tuesday.

Mowins will start the season calling a Monday night NFL game between the Chargers and Broncos for ESPN. She will be the second woman to call play-by-play for an NFL regular-season game and first since NBC’s Gayle Sierens in 1987.

Mowins has called college football for ESPN since 2005 and done play-by-play locally on preseason Raiders games.

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo will make his CBS debut on the network’s No. 1 team with Jim Nantz by calling the Oakland at Tennessee on the first Sunday of the season.

In this Saturday, July 29, 2017 photo, broadcaster Beth Mowins chats with a reporter while watching the Denver Broncos run through drills at NFL football training camp in Englewood, Colo. While Mowins is focused on football, she will become the first woman since 1987 to be the lead announcer on a nationally televised, regular season NFL game. (AP Photo/David Zalubowski)

Scaramucci: If it were up to me, Bannon would be gone NEW YORK (AP) — Short-lived White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci says if it were up to him, top adviser Steve Bannon would be gone from President Donald Trump's administration.

But, he notes, "it's not up to me."

"The Mooch," a few weeks removed from his spectacular flameout following an expletive-laden conversation with a reporter, appeared Monday on CBS' "Late Show" with Stephen Colbert. Colbert has seen his ratings soar since Trump's inauguration with his relentless comedic attacks.

Colbert showed a picture of Scaramucci and former White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus glaring at each other. Scaramucci said there was "no love lost" between the two.

He said he and Priebus got along well when he was writing checks to the Republican National Committee, which Priebus once led. Scaramucci said he knows Trump "as a compassionate person," while reiterating that he thought the president should have spoken more harshly than he did initially of the white supremacists involved in the violent protest in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Of Trump's frequent off-the-cuff remarks, Scaramucci said, "That's him wearing his heart on his sleeve."

YOUR

HOROSCOPE

Contract Bridge

By Jaqueline Bigar

DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Aug. 16, 2017: This year you often feel overwhelmed by what you must do, and confused about where others are coming from. You see others as producers of chaos. Nevertheless, communication remains a strong suit for you. If you are single, you might date a while before finding someone you feel comfortable with. You might find that several people you meet this year suit you. If you are attached, the two of you need to stay calm during misunderstandings and remember that the other party genuinely cares. Respect your sweetie’s different viewpoints. GEMINI intrigues you.

ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie

ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett

ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You might believe that you are communicating with exactitude, but then why do others act as if you are speaking Chinese?

The promise of the morning is confusion. You might be right in the middle of this hazy distortion. Do not lose your patience. Tonight: Take a midweek break.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Be aware of the cost of continuing as you have been. Observe a friend’s reaction, and ask for feedback if necessary. If you choose not to be the source of crystal-clear communication, say little. As a result, you might avoid several problems. Tonight: Accept a fun invitation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You are all smiles, and you might not even know why. Others will observe you and feel drawn to you. Witness the power of positivity and friendliness. Later in the day, make an important call to someone you care a lot about. Tonight: The world is your oyster.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HH Know when to back off. Consider taking today as a personal day, as long as you don’t think it will be a source of trouble.

Maintain your composure rather than allow someone else’s difficult attitude to get to you.

Remember, this is but a passage! Tonight: Go for a good night’s sleep.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Knowing what you want is critical to manifesting your desires. Being able to inspire others with your vision might be more important than you realize. Note how others respond to your energy and efforts. You could be opening a door of trust. Tonight: Enjoy those around you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH A take-charge attitude is not really your style, but your fussiness often puts you in that position. If you would prefer to not be placed in this role, keep your critiques to a minimum. Take off your rose-colored glasses, and you might be shocked! Tonight: Respond to a request.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Keep reaching out to someone at a distance whom you care about. Confusion surrounds matters involving a new point of view. You might want to seek out a specialist.

A friend could be unusually assertive; know that this person is well-intended. Tonight: Opt to experience life.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Close relating brings forth another person’s bottom line; you don’t need to wonder, as it will become obvious. An older friend, relative and/or an authority figure demands a lot. Be wise and step up to the plate, knowing that it is the right move.

Tonight: Make it close and cozy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You could feel more challenged by a close associate than you usually do. You might feel as if this person is in your face making demands that you typically would not respond to. Ask yourself how you feel about this person in general, then respond. Tonight: Let the fun begin!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could be much more difficult than you realize. Refuse to get backed into a corner by someone. Others might be confusing, and trying to get clarity is likely to be difficult. At present, that objective doesn’t seem possible. Trust that answers will be forthcoming. Tonight: Out late.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Your playfulness might be inappropriate, yet it adds a certain charm to the moment. You cannot be more clear about an expectation, but don’t expect others to receive your message. A lack of clarity seems to be a given right now. Tonight: Act as if there were no tomorrow.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Pressure seems to build because of a personal matter. You could feel confused by what you hear. Attempts to ask questions in order to gain clarity seem to only add to your confusion. Try not to focus on the problem. Remain upbeat, and worry less. Tonight: Head home early.
