LOCAL COMMUNITY BLOCK GRANTS

Southwick and Granville receive grants from Governor Baker

By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent SOUTHWICK – Gov. Charlie Baker and Lieutenant Gov. Karen Polito recently made developments in their Baker-Polito administration.

The administration awarded $28 million in community development block grants to 57 cities and towns in the state of Massachusetts.

As they have come so close the last couple years in acquiring a grant towards specific improvements in the community, both Southwick and Granville have been awarded a combined grant of $900,000.

The grant focuses on housing rehabilitation, improvements on Veteran Street in Southwick, and an upgrade to the Our Community Food Pantry in Southwick.

The housing rehabilitation includes nine units of housing. Southwick will receive four units while Granville has been given five units.

“It’s going to be a positive step for Southwick,” said Tom Fitzgerald, the Town of Southwick’s Board of Health Inspector. “It was felt at the state level that Southwick was deserving of this program.”

Jim Mazik, the Deputy Director for Operations and Community Development for Pioneer Valley Planning Commission, helped assist with all three projects including the housing rehabilita-

the low-income population Southwick, Granville, and Tolland, has helped create the mobile food pantry in an effort to assist with their customer’s needs.

The food pantry’s customers range from families that have children to single parents, the elderly, and people that live alone.

With a lack of transportation becoming an issue in the past for the pantry’s clients, the mobile upgrade will now be able to extend services to The Our Community Food those in need.

Southern Hilltowns to receive $753,226 in Community Development Block Grant funds

By AMY PORTER Correspondent HUNTINGTON – In June, the BakerPolito Administration announced Community Development Block Grants, totaling $28 million, will be awarded to a total of 57 cities and towns across the Commonwealth. The Community Development Block Grant (CDGB) program provides competitive funding that allows municipalities to pursue economic development projects, and support the needs of low- and moderate-income residents.

“Our assistance to municipalities is most effective when it provides flexibility to directly support their established goals,” said Governor Charlie Baker in the award announcement. “Community Development Block Grants provide for investment in wideranging improvements that will bring long-

Westfield High School gets new principal WESTFIELD – The office of the Superintendent of Westfield Schools announced today the new principal of Westfield High School.

Here is the released statement:

School.

The selection of Principal Jendrysik was determined after a search committee recommended candidates to Superintendent Czaporowski. Members of the committee included teachers, parents, students, community members, and school district leaders. Members were charged with reviewing applicants, conducting initial and confidential interviews and then recommending a slate of candidates to Superintendent Czaporowski.

Superintendent Czaporowski accepted the slate of candidates and with support of District administrators, conducted interviews of the finalists. Members of the team as well as candidates themselves appreciated the thoroughness of the selection process.“The process for the selection of the High School principal will be used and developed further for future building and district level positions,” remarked Superintendent Czaporowski.

Planning board says ‘no’ to acquiring parcel of land

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD–The Planning Board declined to acquire land on West Road that was available to the city.

The land at 403 West Road had undergone a zoning and planning change, and the agricultural land there ended up with open space following a May 17 meeting. The city is the first in line for any land that becomes leftover, city planner Jay Vinskey informed the board, and the board declined.

The land was reportedly an acre in size, and was part of six lots and six total acres that were modified. The land is currently open space and under special permit, and the owner of the lots is currently maintaining it.

If the board OKed a potential purchase, it would have gone to the city council for approval, since the planning board cannot authorize a purchase of land.

Winds whip up firenados out of Oregon field fire CORNELIUS, Ore. (AP) — A small fire on an Oregon farmer’s field whipped up several firenados tornados comprised of flames and smoke.

The smoky twisters cropped up in the field after a piece of farming equipment on Friday sparked the fire, which ultimately burned about 7 acres.

Cornelius Fire Department spokesman Matt Johnston said erratic winds contributed to the flaming phenomenon. He said the fire sucks in oxygen to fuel itself and the heat rises, causing the spinning column of flames and smoke.

Johnston filmed one in an adjacent field that swirled for about two minutes and shot up about 200 feet.

While Oregon has had a tame wildfire season so far, Johnston said three days of expected triple digit heat has crews worried.

O

n Aug. 17, 1807, Robert Fulton’s North River Steamboat began heading up the Hudson River on its successful round trip between New York and Albany.

ON THIS DATE:

In 1863, Federal batteries and ships began bombarding Fort Sumter in Charleston harbor during the Civil War, but the Confederates managed to hold on despite several days of pounding.

In 1915, a mob in Cobb County, Georgia, lynched Jewish businessman Leo Frank, 31, whose death sentence for the murder of 13-year-old Mary Phagan had been commuted to life imprisonment. (Frank, who’d maintained his innocence, was pardoned by the state of Georgia in 1986.)

In 1943, the Allied conquest of Sicily during World War II was completed as U.S. and British forces entered Messina.

In 1945, Indonesian nationalists declared their independence from the Netherlands. The George Orwell novel “Animal Farm,” an allegorical satire of Soviet Communism, was first published in London by Martin Secker & Warburg.

In 1962, East German border guards shot and killed 18-year-old Peter Fechter, who had attempted to cross the Berlin Wall into the western sector.

In 1969, Hurricane Camille slammed into the Mississippi coast as a Category 5 storm that was blamed for 256 U.S. deaths, three in Cuba.

In 1978, the first successful trans-Atlantic balloon flight

ended as Maxie Anderson, Ben Abruzzo and Larry Newman landed their Double Eagle II outside Paris.

In 1982, the first commercially produced compact discs, a recording of ABBA’s “The Visitors,” were pressed at a Philips factory near Hanover, West Germany.

In 1985, more than 1,400 meatpackers walked off the job at the Geo. A. Hormel and Co.’s main plant in Austin, Minnesota, in a bitter strike that lasted just over a year.

In 1987, Rudolf Hess, the last member of Adolf Hitler’s inner circle, died at Spandau Prison at age 93, an apparent suicide.

In 1996, the Reform Party announced Ross Perot had been selected to be its first-ever presidential nominee, opting for the third-party’s founder over challenger Richard Lamm.

In 1999, more than 17,000 people were killed when a magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck Turkey.

TEN YEARS AGO:

In a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union, a federal judge in Detroit ruled that President George W. Bush’s warrantless surveillance program was unconstitutional. (A divided federal appeals court threw out the lawsuit in July 2007, and the U.S. Supreme Court later let the appeals court decision stand.) President Bush signed new rules to prod companies into shoring up their pension plans. Jordan became the first Arab state to send a fully accredited ambassador to Iraq.

FIVE YEARS AGO:

Vice President Joe Biden arrived in Beijing to meet with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping.

ONE YEAR AGO:

A bomb exploded within a central Bangkok shrine that was among the city’s most popular tourist spots, killing at least 20 people and injuring more than 100. (Two men are facing trial for the bombing, but one has maintained he was tortured to obtain a confession.) The National Labor Relations Board dismissed a historic ruling that Northwestern University football players were school employees entitled to form the nation’s first union of college athletes.

Grants

Continued from Page 1 “We’ve already given out 58,234 pounds of food” The form of mobile transportation will be a high-roof van that both Southwick and Granville proposed to purchase. The communities will receive a total grant of $93,500.

With the addition of the Mobile Pantry we will be able to increase the number of clients that we serve,” said Gerrish. “We also help to reduce the hardship caused by the lack of public transportation.”

The third project that was awarded a grant involved Veteran Street in Southwick.

Veteran Street is a tight, narrow street that has a dead end, with Congamond Lake on the side of the street. Southwick received a grant of $479,000 for this particular project.

Mazik pointed out the situation on Veteran Street.

“The road is in bad shape, there is very serious drainage,” said Mazik.

With there being almost no drainage on the street, the water line on Veteran Street will be replaced, along with two fire hydrants.

A leaching infiltration system would be built towards the end of the street. Having a 12 in. drainage pipe will allow the water to go in the catch basin and then get collected into the ground. With this system, no discharge will go into the lake.

Southwick Department of Public Works is certainly playing a role in this project and helping work on the improvements that can be made on Veteran Street.

“I think it will be a great improvement to the road,” said Director of the DPW, Randy Brown.

“It’s a good fit for these grant funds coming towards the town.”

Select Board clerk Joe Deedy was put in charge to help Mazik identify where the funds can be used. Now that the overall grant is coming to Southwick and Granville, and the Veteran Street project will be started, it is certain that the grant will be put to good use.

“That will clean up the water situation,” said Deedy.

There is also a tree at the end of the street that needs to be taken down to avoid any potential damage.

“Getting the tree out of there, straightening up that road will help the neighbors, especially in the winter,” said Deedy. “It’s a one-lane road as it is.”

Kenny LaBelle and the talented musicians of the Diamond Collection, a Neil Diamond tribute band, was originally scheduled to make an appearance on June 5th at Stanley Park. The show was cancelled due to inclement weather.

By popular demand, the music of Neil Diamond comes alive on August 21st!

Kenny LaBelle is an accomplished guitar player and songwriter and his admiration for Diamond’s music came early. For sixteen years The Diamond Collection has performed hundreds of Neil Diamond staples and some almost forgotten gems throughout New England and across the States.

This year’s performance at Stanley Park, Kenny LaBelle and The Diamond Collection will be accompanied by King Errisson, Neil Diamond’s conga player. King Errisson, aka The King of Congas, began touring with Neil Diamond’s band in the early seventies. He is a very talented percussionist and has worked with artists such as Diana Ross, Herb Alpert, Ringo Starr and many more.

King Errisson also made a cameo appearance in a James Bond movie many years ago.

The show is from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. at the Beveridge Pavilion and it is free of charge. Chairs will be provided and a food service will be available.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR A “Yes” Vote on Question 3 this November Will Not Improve Animal Welfare Massachusetts voters will have more to decide than the next U.S. President when they enter the voting booth on November 8. Question No. 3 is a minimum size requirement for farm animal containment that suggests a “yes vote” is better welfare while a “no vote” is more animal cruelty. This is false. The pictures shown of chickens struggling in cages is no more typical of modern egg production than pictures of homeless in Boston is typical of living conditions in that city.

The National Association of Egg Farmers wants the people in Massachusetts to know that it has been more than five decades since the modern system of producing eggs ensures that chickens have better health, produce more grade-A eggs, and prevent contamination of the eggs with dirt and manure on the ground. Chickens establish a pecking order among them, so reducing the number of birds in an enclosure such as the modern cages reduces the stress from pecking. If this voter initiative passes in Massachusetts, it will be repeating the same mistakes in California when their initiative became law in 2015. Without improving the health and welfare of the chicken, egg prices rose more than a dollar per dozen after the law’s implementation. Don’t be misled by those putting forth this initiative who are intentionally trying to misinform, and who really don’t want you to eat eggs anyway. Ask the farmer who provides the best care for his chickens because he wants to keep his chickens producing quality eggs at a price families can afford.

Ken Klippen, President National Association of Egg Farmers Offices in Philadelphia and Washington, DC www.eggfarmers.org email: info@eggfarmers.org tel: 484-744-3851

Trump issues ‘pledge to the American people’ Donald Trump issued a "pledge to the American people" on Tuesday night via his Facebook page, vowing to treat all Americans equally and "reject bigotry and hatred and oppression in all its forms."

"This is my pledge to the American people: as your President I will be your greatest champion. I will fight to ensure that every American is treated equally, protected equally, and honored equally," the Republican presidential nominee wrote. "We will reject bigotry and hatred and oppression in all its forms, and seek a new future built on our common culture and values as one American people."

Trump has repeatedly insisted that he's a unifying candidate, despite polls that show him struggling to attract support from minorities. In the most recent Washington Post/ABC News national poll, for instance, he trails his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton by 57 percentage points, 75 percent to 18 percent, among non-white voters.

Democrats have repeatedly cast Trump as a racist, with outgoing Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid calling him a "bigot who is clearly unfit for office" in comments last week.

Even some Republicans, such as Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk, have criticized the GOP nominee as "too bigoted and racist" to be president.

Those critiques have tended to flare up when Trump makes racially charged remarks, such as his attack on the "heritage" of a Mexican-American judge presiding over a lawsuit related to his defunct Trump University, his call for a temporary ban on all Muslim immigration, or his claim that Mexico was sending "rapists" across the border.

By KATHLEEN RONAYNE Associated Press CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — THE ISSUE: More Americans are dying from opioids than at any time in recent history, with overdose deaths hitting a peak of 28,000 in 2014. That amounts to 78 Americans dying from an opioid overdose every day, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC uses opioid as an umbrella term for synthetic painkillers and for drugs derived naturally from opium (known more specifically as opiates), such a heroin.

It’s not just the use of illicit opiates like heroin that is on the rise — overdose deaths from prescription painkillers have quadrupled since 1999, tracking a similar increase in the amount of these drugs being prescribed by doctors.

WHERE THEY STAND Donald Trump sees his plans to build a wall along the Mexican border as essential to stopping the flow of illegal drugs into the country. The Drug Enforcement Administration reports the seizure of drugs at the Southern border quadrupled between 2008 and 2013. Hillary Clinton proposes spending $10 billion to tackle the drug crisis. Her plan would send more money to states to expand drug treatment and mental health services, promote greater availability of the overdose reversal drug naloxone and support

better prevention programs in schools, among other things.

WHY IT MATTERS More than 2.4 million Americans were addicted to synthetic pain relievers or heroin in 2014, according to the latest federal survey on drug use and health.

And that number excludes the millions more — family members, first responders, taxpayers — who feel the ripple effects of addiction in their daily lives.

Clinton has called drug addiction a “quiet epidemic.” But it’s one that’s getting louder, as more and more Americans share their stories and prove that drug addiction follows no standard profile of age, race or class.

For decades, drug addiction was viewed as a criminal justice problem, not a health one. The stigma is lessening, but many states simply don’t have the capability to provide treatment and recovery for people who need it, leaving police departments and emergency rooms to fill the void. Lawmakers and advocates are fighting for precious tax dollars to expand services, but the 2015 National Survey on Drug Use and Health found that just 0.9 percent of people seeking treatment for a problem related to drugs or alcohol received it.

Experts now believe the sharp increase in prescribed painkillers is to blame.

People are quick to share stories of being prescribed dozens of pills for pain relief

Schilling weighs run against Sen. Warren BOSTON (AP) — Former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling is considering running against Sen. Elizabeth Warren in 2018.

Schilling said in an interview Monday on WRKO-AM that he's been weighing a campaign against the popular Massachusetts Democrat.

"One of the things I would like to do is be one of the people responsible for getting Elizabeth Warren out of politics," Schilling said. "I think she's a nightmare."

Schilling said he still has to clear the idea with his wife, Shonda.

"If my family wasn't comfortable and OK with it, it would never happen," he said.

Schilling, a supporter of Republican Donald Trump, described Warren as "a woman who's clearly and comfortably milked the system to her advantage" — an apparent reference to Warren's claims of Native American heritage.

In 2009, Schilling flirted with the idea of running for the U.S. Senate seat left vacant by the death of Edward Kennedy.

He ultimately endorsed Republican Scott Brown, who won the election, only to lose two years later to Warren.

Boston Globe calls for freeze on Clinton Foundation donations

By TYLER PAGER Politico.com The Clinton Foundation should stop accepting donations, and if Hillary Clinton is elected president, it should be shut down, The Boston Globe editorial board wrote Tuesday.

Although The Globe praised the foundation’s work over the past 15 years, it said the organization is a political distraction and a conflict of interest.

“But as long as either of the Clintons are in public office, or actively seeking it, they should not operate a charity, too,” the editorial board wrote. “The Clintons themselves seem to realize that; ‘There’ll clearly be some changes in what the Clinton Foundation does and how we do it,’ Bill Clinton said in June; ‘And we’ll just have to cross that bridge when we come to it.’

Why wait? The Clintons should move now to end donations to the foundation, and make plans to shut it down in November.

Even if they’ve done nothing illegal, the foundation will always look too much like a conflict of interest for comfort.”

The Clinton Foundation has repeatedly come under fire from Republicans for accepting donations from overseas countries that have shaky human rights records, such as Saudi Arabia.

Questions have also been raised about the extent Hillary Clinton was involved in the foundation while she was secretary of state. For example, The New York Times reported that emails from the State Department during her tenure show an

following procedures as simple as wisdom teeth removal. The strength of these medications can easily cause addiction, forcing many people to turn to a cheaper alternative — heroin — when their prescriptions run out. Roughly 75 percent of new heroin users report first using prescription opioids, the government says.

Lawmakers are beginning to take notice: At the meeting of the National Governors Association in July, 45 governors signed on to a compact aimed at tightening prescribing rules. Several attorneys general are engaged in or considering waging legal battles against major pharmaceutical companies, alleging they played down the risks of addiction when marketing their painkillers.

At the same time, the illicit drugs people are turning to are becoming even more deadly. The synthetic painkiller fentanyl, which is up to 50 times as potent as heroin, is now being manufactured illegally.

By sight, it’s impossible to tell the difference between heroin and fentanyl, leaving people unaware of the deadliness of the drugs they are consuming. Northeastern and Midwestern states, such as New Hampshire and Ohio, are seeing a dramatic rise in the use of fentanyl. More than 5,000 people nationwide died from a synthetic opioid like fentanyl in 2014, and that number is only on the rise.

As most politicians know, families and communities are demanding change, and fast.

Schilling, who helped the Red Sox win their first World Series in 86 years in 2004, has experienced business troubles since stepping down from the pitcher's mound.

Earlier this year Schilling was fired from his job as an ESPN baseball analyst after comments on Facebook critical of transgender rights.

In 2010, Schilling moved his video game company 38 Studios from Massachusetts to Rhode Island in exchange for a $75 million state loan guarantee.

The company failed and Rhode Island is suing Schilling.

Reputed mobster indicted in federal crime sweep denied bail SPRINGFIELD (AP) — One of five reputed mobsters from Springfield that were indicted as part of a largescale federal organized crime bust has been ordered held without bail.

The Republican newspaper reports U.S. District Court Magistrate Judge Katherine Robertson denied bail for 49-year-old Ralph Santaniello on Tuesday.

Santaniello was arrested earlier this month along with roughly 40 alleged members of the Genovese, Gambino, Luchese, Bonanno and Philadelphia organized crime families. He has pleaded not guilty to gambling, loansharking and extortion-related charges.

Prosecutors say Santaniello and another mobster implicated in the Massachusettsto-Florida sweep extorted the owner of a local towing business.

Robertson wrote in her order to detain Santaniello that the "casual brutality" he displayed in his exchanges with the victim was enough to keep him held while he awaits trial.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass.

(AP) — A Massachusetts man has been sentenced to prison for persuading a 16-year-old boy to travel to New York to engage in sexual activity.

U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz says 53-year-old Ronald Brown, of Williamstown, was sentenced Tuesday in federal court in Springfield to 15 years behind bars followed by 10 years of probation.

Brown pleaded guilty in November 2015 to charges including interstate travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor.

Brown is a registered sex offender with a prior conviction for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old.

Prosecutors say Brown gave the 16-year-old boy a one-way plane ticket to New Jersey and picked him up Jan. 19, 2013, at Newark International Airport before taking him to New York.

The boy was found after his mother reported him missing.

Back-to-School Tips for Parents

Marie Flahive art Studio & Gallery

Starting the new school year can be a time of great excitement… and anxiety. Help calm your child’s fears (and your own) with these teacher-approved tips.

Meet the New Teacher: For kids, one of the biggest back-to-school fears is “Will I like my new teacher?”

Breaking the ice early on is one of the best ways to calm everyone’s fears. Take advantage of your school’s open house or back-to-school night. Some teachers welcome phone calls or e-mails — another great opportunity to get to know each other before the year begins.

If personal contact with the teacher isn’t possible, try locating the teacher’s picture on a school website or in a yearbook, so your child can put a name with a face. If your child’s teacher sends a welcome letter, be sure to read the letter together.

EXPIRES 9/30/16

Tour the School: If your school hosts an open house, be sure to go. Familiarizing your child with her environment will help her avoid a nervous stomach on the first day.

Together you can meet her teacher, find her desk, or explore the playground. With an older child, you might ask him to give you a tour of the school. This will help refresh his memory and yours.

Connect with Friends: A familiar friend can make all the difference when heading back to school. You might try calling parents from last year’s class and finding out which children are in your child’s class this year. Refresh these relationships before school starts by scheduling a play date or a school carpool.

Tool Up: Obtain the class supply list and take a special shopping trip with yourchild. Having the right tools will help him feel prepared.

While keeping basic needs in mind, allow for a couple of splurges like a cool notebook or a favorite colored pen.

These simple pleasures make going back to school a lot more fun.

Ease Into the Routine: Switching from a summer to a school schedule can be stressful to everyone in the household.

Avoid first-day-of-school mayhem by practicing your routine a few days in advance. Set the alarm clock, go through your morning rituals, and get in the car or to the bus stop on time.

Routines help children feel comfortable, and establishing a solid school routine will make the first day of school go much smoother.

St. Mary welcoming new students WESTFIELD — Nichole Nietsche, Head of St. Mary’s Parish School, announces that STM High School will be welcoming the largest class of incoming Freshmen in nearly a decade. An expected 40 new students will grace the halls as members of St. Mary’s Class of 2020. Nietsche says, “Families are impressed with our emphasis on morals, values and religion.

They recognize the impressive learning standards and accountability afforded to a student receiving an education at our school. There are few schools in the area that can boast a 100% graduation rate with 98% going on to college. Our school accomplishes both.”

While the student population is increasing, the school has hired additional faculty to remain steadfast in its promise to have a 12:1 student/teacher ratio. Unlike other Parochial Schools in the region, St. Mary’s is a Parish school, which is directed under its own Administration and School Board.

Nietsche emphasized, “Every student is cared about and belongs. It is our goal to give them the tools that they need to be successful. It is our hope that every graduate will leave St. Mary’s richer in terms of faith, education, and friendship. We guarantee that they will be ready for the future.”

For parents who are considering a St. Mary’s education for their child, it is not too late to make a decision. The school is interviewing students for all four grades. Appointments can be made by calling Mrs. Kimberlee Jaszek, Director of Admissions, at (413) 568-5692.

Sen. Edward Markey, of Massachusetts, and Sen. Richard Blumenthal, of Connecticut, said Tuesday they sent letters to the airlines inquiring about safeguards and backups in place to protect airline IT systems against power outages, cyberattacks and related hazards.

They say the letters were prompted by recent technology issues experienced

by Southwest Airlines and Delta Airlines that resulted in thousands of flight cancellations across the country. Can You Help Sarah?

The lawmakers say they want more details about outages or disruptions over the past five years and the safeguards in place to prevent the systems from failing.

Among the airlines the www.sarahgillett.org senators queried are American Airlines, Delta Airlines, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines and more.

SPORTS Tri-County advances, set to collide with Tri Valley

By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer WESTFIELD – It’s not quite Yankees-Red Sox, but for Tri-County (Maine) and Tri Valley (California), their meetings are quickly becoming quite the attraction.

Cody Allen delivered the shot heard round the Whip City, plating two runs in the top of the seventh with a hard hit ball through the left side to lead Tri-County past Janesville (Wisconsin) 4-2 in a Babe Ruth Baseball 14-Year-Old World Series game Tuesday at Bullens Field.

The win eliminated Janesville, setting up a rematch of last year’s 13-year-old final between Tri-County and Tri Valley, which California won 20-0. Many of those same players currently play for the 14-year-old team.

Tri-County and Tri Valley will meet in the second semifinal Wednesday at 7 p.m.

Atlantic Shore (N.J.)-Bismarck (N.D.) will begin at 4:30.

Babe Ruth 14 World Series Logo“I think we’re going to come out and play the best we’ve every played in our life, and we’ll get the win,” said Allen, whose team actually defeated Tri Valley early in the opening rounds of last year’s 13-year-old World Series.

Allen may have provided the offensive highlight, but it was starting pitcher Wyatt Williamson who held off a pesky Janesville squad.

Williamson tossed a complete-game, sixhitter. The Tri-County pitcher struck out two batters and walked none.

“I threw a lot of changeups and mixed in a few curveballs,” Williamson said. “I kept the ball low so I got a lot of grounders.”

Williamson said his team will need to a similar effort to advance even further in this year’s World Series.

“We’re going to have to play good to beat (Tri Valley),” Williamson said. “We’re going to have to play our ‘A’ game.”

Tri-County delivered an A-mazing effort against Janesville on Tuesday. The New

England Regional champs came out swinging and never looked back.

Charlie Morton roped a double in the game’s opening inning, and Janek Luksza walked in the first inning, but Janesville (WI) pitcher Micah Overley managed to get out of the jam unscathed.

Janesville put two runners on with two outs in the bottom half of the inning with consecutive singles from Eric Hughes and Overley. Williamson responded to the challenge though, keeping the game scoreless.

The teams remained deadlocked early, even matching runs in the third.

In the third inning, Allen reached second base on a two-out error, moved to third on a Jonny Pruett single, and scored on a wild pitch to put Tri-County out front 1-0.

Tegan Christiansen was hit by a pitch to lead off the bottom half of the inning for Janesville. Christiansen stole second base, advanced to third and scored on consecutive sacrifices to the knot the game 1-1.

Tri-County responded.

In the top of the fourth inning, Dylan Desroches walked, Cameron Godbois singled, and Ayden DeSanctis advanced the runners into scoring position with a sacrifice. Rodney Bean hit a one-out, sac-fly to help Tri-County reclaim the lead, 2-1.

Janesville’s Dalton Madsen singled to lead off the bottom of the fifth. Madsen advanced on a sacrifice, moved to third on a Colin Hageman single, and scored on a Christiansen sac-fly to tie it 2-2.

The score remained until Allen’s big hit in the seventh.

CHAMPIONSHIP FREE FOR ALL: Babe Ruth officials have announced that tickets for Thursday’s championship will be free.

First pitch is set for 6 p.m. … Also, on Thursday, two-time Olympic women’s hockey silver medalist and Boston Pride defenseman, Kacey Bellamy, will be on hand to meet and greet the public from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Kacey’s sister, Lindsey, will sing the national anthem.

Furey’s no-hitter advances Atlantic Shore

By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent Westfield – After catching 10 innings last night, some would think that a player might not be on his perfect game when he has to turn it right back around for a 9 a.m. start. Brian Furey created quite the amazement, though, as the Atlantic Shore pitcher earned a no-hitter on the mound on Tuesday morning.

“When I talked to him (Furey) this morning, he said he’s ready to go,” said Atlantic Shore Manager Dave Geiger. “Catch 10 innings, and then come out and throw a 7-inning no-hitter, tough kid, tough kid.”

“I just did my job and threw strikes,” said Furey.

Atlantic Shore (NJ) was able to get past Mountain Home (AR) 2-0 on Tuesday morning at Bullens Field in the Babe Ruth World Series quarterfinals. They will now face Bismarck (ND) in the semi-finals on Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. at Bullens Field.

Neither team was able to cash in on a scoring opportunity for quite some time, but

someone had to take advantage at some point. Atlantic Shore (NJ) ended up being that team.

Scoreless, going into the bottom of the fifth inning, Atlantic Shore created a scoring opportunity and they certainly cashed in.

The number nine hitter, Kevin Foreman started off the inning with an infield single. After an error off a pick-off throw from Mountain Home pitcher Satchel Harris, Foreman was able to advance to second base. Gabe Donahue then flied out to center field to advance Foreman to third.

Two batters later, C.J. Brown dropped one between center and right field to score Santamaria and give Atlantic

Shore the 1-0 lead.

“CJ’s (Brown) been clutch lately,” said Atlantic Shore Manager Dave Geiger.

“We’ve moved him up in the (batting) order, he was batting fifth the first three games, now we’ve put to three at the last couple.”

Atlantic Shore was then able to add on one more run in that inning. Eric Greenling hit a slow roller just past the pitcher’s mound as the Mountain Home second basemen made an attempt to bare hand it but couldn’t hang on. The infield hit from Greenling allowed Brown to come around and score to make it 2-0 Atlantic Shore.

The runs from his teammates allowed Furey to get back into his zone and finish off his dominance on the hill.

Furey’s no-hitter included just three walks off of 91 pitches.

“It gave me a lot of adrenaline and my adrenaline started pumping,” said Furey. “It gave me more energy and more life to go out there and throw for my team.”

DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Aug. 17, 2016: This year you often sense that something big is about to happen, which tends to be true. However, you might want to be more aware of a sense of expectation that is sometimes mixed with trepidation.

Know that you can handle whatever pops up. If you are single, you could meet many people this year and expand your circle of friends. As a result, you might meet someone special through one of your new pals. If you are attached, you enjoy being with your partner more and more, as long as you decide not to argue over differences of opinion. AQUARIUS is attracted to you, but might be colder than you realize.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You might start feeling some of the drain of the upcoming eclipse.

Your relationships with friends and loved ones will be featured. Consider pursuing a long-term desire you have had.

Committing to making it happen will give you an extra push. Tonight: Take a midweek break.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Be aware of your feelings toward an authority figure. You might be inclined to be less than compliant, but that is not the smart move. Instead, go along with this person’s wishes. Listen to what a friend shares; he or she is more grounded than you realize. Tonight: In the limelight.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You could be stressed out without knowing why. The real issue will be figuring out what you want to do and how you want to do it. Don’t make a decision just yet; more information is likely to emerge. Know when to say “enough.” Tonight: Try a new type of cuisine.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You could be extraordinarily emotional, and the topic of the day is money. It would be wise to nix any financial discussions for now. More information is about to come to light. Know what you want from a personal situation.

Tonight: Chat over dinner.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Though you seem to be content, you’ll notice that those around you are contentious and challenging. Your reaction will define what happens. Will you have a knee-jerk reaction, or a thoughtful response? A loved one could start acting up. Tonight: Strut your stuff.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You are all about getting the job completed as efficiently as possible.

Listen to news that is forthcoming.

Understand that many people could be very stressed out and will want to take a break, while others won’t even want to chat. Tonight: Be smart and do your own thing.

Betts give Orioles fits as Sox pull out victory BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles seem to bring out the best in Mookie Betts.

Betts homered twice and drove in five runs, a performance that almost single-handedly carried the Boston Red Sox to a 5-3 victory Tuesday night.

Boston’s cleanup hitter launched a three-run drive in the fifth inning and added a tiebreaking two-run shot in the seventh.

Betts is batting .426 with 12 homers and 18 RBIs in 11 games against the Orioles this season.

Exactly one-quarter of his 28 home runs this season have come in Baltimore, where the left-field foul line is a mere 333 feet from the plate.

“He feels comfortable in this ballpark and obviously sees the ball well,” Boston manager John Farrell said.

Maybe that’s the reason for his success. Maybe not.

“I’m going to continue to say I don’t know why,” Betts said.

“I’m just trying to put good swings on it and enjoy it.”

Betts had three homers and eight RBIs in a 16-2 win over Arizona on Sunday, so it’s not as if he’s only picking on the Orioles.

“I’m sure there are some numbers to dictate that it’s more us,” manager Buck Showalter said, “but he’s been having that type of year against most everybody.”

The victory lifted Boston into a tie with Baltimore in the AL East, one game behind division-leading Toronto.

“We all are well aware of what is at stake, where we are in the standings and who is around us,” Farrell said.

The Red Sox were in first place on July 21, then lost 13 of 20 before their current streak of five wins in row.

Boston starter Eduardo Rodriguez had a no-hitter before leaving in the fifth inning with left hamstring tightness. The Red Sox hope they caught it early enough to keep the lefty in the rotation without missing a turn.

——— PAPELBON RUMOR Farrell confirmed that the team has had discussions with reliever Jonathan Papelbon, who was recently released by Washington.
