By AMY PORTER Correspondent HILLTOWNS – Special town meetings are scheduled for the three towns that did not pass the FY18 Gateway Regional school budget at their annual town meetings this spring. Huntington’s meeting will be held on Wednesday, August 9 beginning at 6:30 in Stanton Hall, Russell’s on Thursday, August 10 at 6:30 p.m. in the town hall, and Chester’s on Saturday, August 12 at 1:00 p.m. in the town hall. With Blandford, Middlefield, and Montgomery having passed their above minimum contributions, those three towns do not need to vote again. Since four towns are needed for passage, at least one of the remaining towns must vote for the budget in order for it to go forward. Meanwhile, the district has been put on a 1/12th (month-tomonth) budget based on FY17 by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). The three towns that are voting were the only ones to

receive an increase in their minimum contributions, which are based on enrollment and percentage of students in the district. Russell’s increase was almost $200,000 and Huntington’s nearly $140,000. Each town’s share of the student population is 30%. Chester’s increase was approximately $14,000 over FY17. Chester was the last town to vote on the school budget the first time around, and this time as well, giving it again the deciding vote. At the annual town meeting, Finance Committee chair Andrew Myers said one reason to vote against the budget was to support Russell and Huntington. “Russell can’t afford that (increase). Our decision is, are we going to join those towns that voted the budget down and said they can’t afford it,” Myers said at the town meeting. Gateway Regional Budget Version 2, which the towns will be voting on next week, was reduced overall by $105,908, and resulted in a $7,000+ decrease in the above minimum contribu-
tions to Huntington and Russell, and $1,000+ to Chester. Hopson acknowledged that the amounts they were able to cut for town assessments weren’t what they were hoping for. “There’s not anything left to cut that doesn’t impact student services,” he said on Tuesday. At the Gateway Towns Advisory Committee (GTAC) meeting last Thursday, representatives from the towns said they were disappointed by the amount of the reductions. “How concerned can they be about the towns, the district and the impact on two of the towns,” said Darlene McVeigh, one of two newly elected Huntington selectmen and former Finance Committee chair for the town. Myers said at the town meetings, three towns made it very clear that they could not pass the budget as it stands. “It was
Blandford Fair marks 150 Years with special events By LORI SZEPELAK Correspondent BLANDFORD-While much has changed across the country in the 150 years since the Blandford Fair started, one constant has remained at the heart of the organization – showcasing the importance of agriculture to all ages. “We’re a family oriented fair,” said Bruce Wyman, president of the board of trustees of the Blandford Fair. “I see parents and grandparents I remember as toddlers who are now bringing their kids to the fair.” Wyman, who first experienced the fair through Allen Laflamme and Greg his participation in 4-H, Girard are among the many said this year’s fair will volunteers who ensure that the have the “traditional” midgrounds of the Blandford Fair way rides, food vendors, are ready for Labor Day week- oxen, draft horses and pony pulls, truck and tracend. tor pulls, and a few new attractions.

Pearl Harbor survivor to be honored at ceremony By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent WESTFIELD – On Tuesday August 8, Mayor Brian Sullivan’s office will be hosting a ceremony for Westfield resident Bob Greenleaf Sr., who passed away on July 15 at age 94. The ceremony for the longest-surviving Pearl Harbor solider in the Whip City will take place at 2 p.m. at Kane & Wojtkiewicz Park, which is across from the Holy Trinity Church and behind the clock tower on Elm Street. Until his passing, Greenleaf Sr. was the oldest Pearl Harbor survivor from Westfield. Greenleaf Sr. was a gunner’s mate on See Greenleaf, Page 7
By AMY PORTER Correspondent WESTFIELD – In addition to deadlines looming for candidates for city office to turn in their papers, the deadline is also approaching for ballot questions on the November ballot. Westfield will see a non-binding referendum regarding an extension of the mayor’s term on the ballot this Ward 2 Councilor year. The questions reads: Shall the Ralph J. Figy city of Westfield extend the term of Mayor from two years to four years? Ward 2 Councilor Ralph J. Figy sponsored the question which was approved by the City Council in April. “I don’t believe a two-year team is fair to the mayor or to the citizens. It’s not enough time to get anything done and to follow up,” Figy said. He said in the Midwest where he hails from (Toledo, Ohio region), four year terms are the minimum. He pointed out that both Springfield and most recently West Springfield changed the terms from two years to four years. Because the question is non-binding, results will be sent to the City Council to review and decide what the next steps are, according to Westfield City Clerk Karen M. Fanion. Figy said there are several steps that would have to be taken, including the possibility of a home rule petition. “We just want to gauge the public’s support or lack of support for increasing the term from two years to four years,” Figy said. He said he hopes if the public is favorable that the change could go into effect following the 2019 election.
Review: ‘Finding Neverland’ at The Bushnell By MARK G. AUERBACH Correspondent The national national tour of the Broadway musical Finding Neverland is playing the Bushnell this week, and it’s a first rate version of the recent Broadway production that’s likely to please older children and the young-atheart, who recall the beloved children’s classic, Peter Pan. Finding Neverland is the story of playwright and author James Barrie, who is trying to write a hit play for the American producer Charles Frohman. He’s inspired by Sylvia Llewelyn Davis, a widow with four young sons, with whom he becomes infatuated. James Graham’s book is straightforward, and the score by Gary Barlow and Eliot Kennedy, beautifully orchestrated by Simon Hale, work well together to weave a spell around the audience. Finding Neverland is an original musical Inspired by the 1998 play The Man Who Was Peter Pan by Allan Knee and his 2004 film adaptation Finding See Finding Neverland, Page 7

Sunday’s Child: Adi, Gershwin & Zenyla Adonijah “Adi”, Gershwin & Zenyla are an African-American sibling group of three who are very close. Adi is a seven-year old boy who is sweet and personable. He loves to play with cars, drawing & playing on his brother’s tablet. After college he would like to become either the President of the United States or become a police officer. Adi is currently in first grade where he is on grade level. Gershwin is six-years old and is smart and expressive. Since living with his siblings in the same foster home Gershwin has made tremendous progress at preschool. He will enter Kindergarten in the fall. Gershwin loves playing racing games on his tablet and riding his bike. Zenyla, age four, is personable and funny. She loves to dance! She also loves to draw and “read” books aloud based on the pictures. Zenyla currently attends preschool, which she enjoys. Legally freed for adoption, their social worker is open to exploring single or two parent families who feel they can help the children remain connected to family members that are important to them. It would be reasonable to expect the children would need to return a few times a year to Massachusetts if matched out of state. Their social worker is seeking a family where the siblings would be the only children or the youngest children. Who Can Adopt? Can you provide the guidance, love and stability that a child needs? If you’re at least 18 years old, have a stable source of income, and room in your heart, you may be a perfect match to adopt a waiting child. Adoptive parents can be single, married, or partnered; experienced or not; renters or homeowners; LGBTQ singles and couples. The process to adopt a child from foster care requires training, interviews, and home visits to determine if adoption is right for you, and if so, to help connect you with a child or sibling group that your family will be a good match for. To learn more about adoption from foster care, call the Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange (MARE) at 617-54-ADOPT (617-542-3678) or visit www.mareinc. org. The sooner you call, the sooner a waiting child will have “a permanent place to call HOME.”

Texas calf born looking like KISS rocker Gene Simmons KERRVILLE, Texas (AP) — KISS frontman Gene Simmons is udderly thrilled by a newborn calf born with strikingly similar black-and-white markings to the face paint he wears on stage. Simmons tweeted his admiration for the calf on Sunday, saying, “This is real, folks!!!” The calf was born Friday at a ranch near Kerrville, Texas, which is about 60 miles (96 kilometers) northwest of San Antonio. Heather Taccetta, who lives at the ranch with her family, said Tuesday that the calf belongs to her grandmother. It is named Genie, in honor of Simmons. Taccetta says the calf and its mother are doing fine and that Genie is a family favorite and won’t be sold for slaughter.

n August 2, 1776, members of the Second Continental Congress began attaching their signatures to the Declaration of Independence.
ON THIS DATE: In 216 B.C., during the Second Punic War, Carthaginian forces led by Hannibal defeated the Roman army in the Battle of Cannae. In 1876, frontiersman “Wild Bill” Hickok was shot and killed while playing poker at a saloon in Deadwood, Dakota Territory, by Jack McCall, who was later hanged. In 1892, movie producer Jack L. Warner was born in London, Ontario, Canada. In 1923, the 29th president of the United States, Warren G. Harding, died in San Francisco; Vice President Calvin Coolidge became president. In 1927, President Calvin Coolidge issued a written statement to reporters: “I do not choose to run for President in nineteen twenty-eight.” In 1939, Albert Einstein signed a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt urging creation of an atomic weapons research program. President Roosevelt signed the Hatch Act, which prohibited civil service employees from taking an active part in political campaigns. In 1943, during World War II, U.S. Navy boat PT-109, commanded by Lt. (jg) John F. Kennedy, sank after being rammed in the middle of the night by the Japanese destroyer Amagiri off the Solomon Islands. Two crew members were killed. In 1967, the crime drama “In the Heat of the Night,” star-
ring Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger, premiered in New York. In 1974, former White House counsel John W. Dean III was sentenced to one to four years in prison for obstruction of justice in the Watergate cover-up. (Dean ended up serving four months.) In 1985, 137 people were killed when Delta Air Lines Flight 191, a Lockheed L-1011 Tristar, crashed while attempting to land at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. In 1990, Iraq invaded Kuwait, seizing control of the oilrich emirate. (The Iraqis were later driven out in Operation Desert Storm.) In 1997, “Naked Lunch” author William S. Burroughs, the godfather of the “Beat generation,” died in Lawrence, Kansas, at age 83.
TEN YEARS AGO: Mattel apologized to customers as it recalled nearly a million Chinese-made toys from its Fisher-Price division that were found to have excessive amounts of lead in their paint. A Marine Corps squad leader was convicted at Camp Pendleton, California, of murdering an unarmed Iraqi man during a frustrated search for an insurgent. (Sgt. Lawrence G. Hutchins III was sentenced to 11 years in prison; he served more than half of his sentence before his conviction was overturned. Although convicted in a 2015 retrial, Hutchins received no additional prison time.) Two small Russian submarines completed a voyage below the North Pole where they planted the country’s flag on the Arctic Ocean floor.
FIVE YEARS AGO:
Kofi Annan resigned as peace envoy to Syria, blaming the Syrian government’s intransigence, the growing militancy
of Syrian rebels and a divided U.N. Security Council that he said failed to forcefully back his effort. Gabby Douglas became the third American in a row to win gymnastics’ biggest prize when she claimed the all-around Olympic title; Michael Phelps added to his medal collection with his first individual gold medal of the London Games in the 200-meter individual medley.
ONE YEAR AGO: President Barack Obama castigated Donald Trump as “unfit” and “woefully unprepared” to serve in the White House, and challenged Republicans to withdraw their support for their party’s nominee, declaring “there has to come a point at which you say ‘enough.’” President Obama welcomed Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong (lee shyehn loong) to the White House to celebrate the 50th anniversary of U.S. diplomatic relations with the Southeast Asian city state. A bus plowed into a highway pole in California’s heavily agricultural San Joaquin Valley, killing four passengers. Actor David Huddleston (“The Big Lebowski”), 85, died in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

BOSTON (AP) — An organization representing thousands of retailers in Massachusetts said Tuesday it would pursue a ballot campaign asking voters to reduce the state's 6.25 percent sales tax and possibly establish a permanent summer sales tax holiday. The Retailers Association of Massachusetts announced it would file several versions of a proposed 2018 ballot question ahead of Wednesday's 5 p.m. deadline for submitting initiative petitions to the state attorney general. The group has repeatedly expressed concern about the impact of online shopping on traditional brick and mortar businesses, especially smaller retailers, and the ability of Massachusetts residents to shop tax free in neighboring New Hampshire. "Reducing the state sales tax will help small business remain competitive, while also putting money back in the pockets of those who need it most, including seniors on fixed incomes and working class families," said Jon Hurst, president of the retailers association, in a statement. Hurst has been critical of state lawmakers for not voting

Miracle on the Hudson hero makes case against privatization By KEVIN FREKING Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Who are you going to trust when it comes to what's best for the flying public? Members of Congress or the hero of the Miracle on the Hudson, retired Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger? Proponents of privatizing air traffic control, a top priority of President Donald Trump, face fierce resistance from some Republicans, many Democrats and various advocacy groups who have a forceful voice: Sullenberger, the pilot who managed to land an airliner in the Hudson River without the loss of a single life after the plane lost thrust in both engines. Privatization plus another proposal that would make it easier for co-pilots to get academic credit for certification have drawn congressional opposition and stalled efforts to reauthorize the Federal Aviation Administration, a must-do for Congress by Sept. 30. Sullenberger said he considers the legislative proposals an attempt to boost the bottom lines of the airlines at the expense of the public. He's speaking out, knowing that the actions he and his crew took that January day in 2009 have given them a bully pulpit with the American public. "They trust us," said Sullenberger, most recently portrayed on film by actor Tom Hanks. "They know we're experts at what we're talking about." Republicans opposed to privatization recognize they have a flying ace to make their case. "No man was better when it came to safety standards. And then he demonstrated it that day, that he knew what he was talking about," said Rep. Steve Russell, R-Okla. "I think we need to take pause, and take a step back, and listen." The push for privatization of air traffic control operations has some powerful backers, but supporters still have more convincing to do to secure a vote in the House. GOP leaders have delayed a vote until after the August recess. The bill's backers argue that Washington budget dysfunction and the FAA's ineffective contract management have hindered the agency's efforts to keep pace with technology. Major projects consistently exceed cost estimates and fall behind schedule, including a critical move to satellite-based navigation and digital communications, which will reduce airport delays. They want an entity that operates more like a business. "We cannot let a broken government structure and oldfashion Washington bureaucracy drag down a proud American tradition," said Rep. Bill Shuster, R-Pa., the chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the bill's primary sponsor. The new, non-profit would be run by a 13-member board of directors representing the numerous stakeholders invested in the nation's skies. Meanwhile, the FAA would continue to serve as a safety regulator. Many foreign countries have gone the privatization route, including Canada, Germany and Britain. Sullenberger stresses that the nation is experiencing a golden age in flight safety with no fatal commercial airline crashes in more than eight years. "The FAA is not broken," said Sullenberger, who added, "What this proposal does is take an extreme solution to a nonproblem." Sullenberger argues that privatization would allow a corporate monopoly heavily influenced by the major airlines to manage the nation's skies. It would make key investment decisions that could put profits over safety and reduce access for the general aviation community, which includes company jets,
Senate Republicans slowly turning their backs on Trump By ERICA WERNER AP Congressional Correspondent WASHINGTON (AP) — There wasn't a dramatic public break or an exact moment it happened. But step by step, Senate Republicans are turning their backs on President Donald Trump. They defeated an Obamacare repeal bill despite Trump's pleas. They're ignoring his Twitter demands that they get back to work on the repeal measure. They dissed the White House budget director, defended the attorney general against the president's attacks and passed veto-proof sanctions on Russia over his administration's objections. They're reasserting their independence, which looked sorely diminished in the aftermath of Trump's surprise election win. "We work for the American people," Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina said Tuesday. "We don't work for the president." Those are surprisingly tough words from a Republican whose state Trump won easily less than a year ago. But after six months of controversies and historically low approval ratings, it's clear Trump isn't commanding the fear or respect he once did. Some Republicans no doubt are giving voice to long-held reservations about a man whose election was essentially a hostile takeover of their party. But it is notable that the loudest criticism is coming from the Senate, where few Republicans are burdened with facing an electorate anytime soon. The situation is different in the House, where most Republicans represent conservative districts still loyal to Trump. For those lawmakers, the fear of facing a conservative primary challenger, possibly fueled by angry Trump followers, is real. In the most remarkable example of public Trump-bashing, Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona is taking aim at the president and his own party in a new book, writing that "unnerving silence in the face of an erratic executive branch is an abdication" and marveling at "the strange specter of an American president's seeming affection for strongmen and authoritarians." The criticism from Flake is especially striking since he is one of just two GOP
senators facing competitive re-election races in next year's midterm elections, the other being Dean Heller of Nevada. The other 50 Senate Republicans are largely insulated from blowback from Trump's still-loyal base, at least in the short term, since many of them won't face voters for several years. That is likely contributing to their defiance, which is emerging now after an accumulation of frustrations, culminating in the failure of the health care bill Friday. In particular, senators were aghast over Trump's recent attacks on their longtime colleague Jeff Sessions, the former Alabama senator who is now attorney general and facing Trump's wrath over having recused himself from the investigation into possible collaboration between Russia and Trump's presidential campaign. Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina deemed Trump's treatment of Sessions "unseemly" and "a sign of great weakness on the part of President Trump." The comments were echoed by other Republican senators. Then, White House budget director Mick Mulvaney, a former House member, suggested on a Sunday show that the Senate must pass health care before doing anything else. No. 2 Republican John Cornyn didn't hesitate to go after him. "I don't think he's got much experience in the Senate as I recall, and he's got a big job," Cornyn said. "He ought to do that job and let us do our jobs." The ill will flows both ways. At Tuesday's White House briefing, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders pointedly blamed lawmakers for the president's failures to deliver. "I think what's hurting the legislative agenda is Congress' inability to get things passed," she said. Trump has been ignoring past warnings from Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to stay out of the Senate's business, tweeting relentless commands in the wake of Friday's failure on health care that the Senate should eliminate the filibuster rule that requires 60 votes to move forward on much major legislation. "Mitch M, go to 51 Votes NOW and WIN. IT'S TIME!" the president said over Twitter.
That ignored the fact that Republicans tried to pass the health care bill under rules that required only a simple majority. So Republicans, in turn, ignored Trump. "It's pretty obvious that our problem on health care was not the Democrats," McConnell said drily on Tuesday. "We didn't have 50 Republicans." Some Republicans say Trump and his administration only made it harder to pass health care by ineptly pressuring Sen. Lisa Murkowski with threats from Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke about consequences for her state, which rankled the Alaska senator. She proceeded to postpone votes in the Energy committee she chairs on a group of administration nominees, while saying it was for unrelated reasons, and voted "no" on the health bill. "I think most Republican senators have their own identity that's separate from the president," said Alex Conant, a GOP strategist and former adviser to Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida. "If you look at the elections last fall, almost every Republican senator who was up for re-election ran ahead of Trump and that's not a fact that's lost on Congress." The House has been a friendlier place for Trump. Republicans there pushed through a health care bill in May. "For the most part our caucus is still in support of the president," said Rep. James Comer of Kentucky. "That doesn't mean we agree with everything he says and does, but we still support his agenda, his presidency, and we're not going to fumble the ball." In the Senate, though, lawmakers and the president appear to be going their separate ways, with some senators talking as though Trump is almost irrelevant. "Ever since we've been here we've really been following our lead, right?" said Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee. "Whether it was the Supreme Court justice or the Russia sanctions bill, attempting to do health care and obviously we did so unsuccessfully, and now we're moving on to tax reform, but most of this has, almost every bit of this has been 100 percent internal to Congress."

Baker bill would reset state policy on immigration detainers By BOB SALSBERG Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Gov. Charlie Baker asked Massachusetts lawmakers on Tuesday to grant state and local police officers authority to cooperate with federal immigration officials by holding people considered dangerous or who have committed violent crimes. The bill was filed Tuesday in response to a decision issued last week by the state's highest court that is considered the first of its kind in the nation by the American Civil Liberties Union. The justices ruled that current Massachusetts law does not allow police and other law enforcement officers to hold individuals solely on the basis of a federal immigration detainer request. The proposal would not authorize police to enforce federal immigration law, the Republican governor said, but would instead address a "statutory gap" identified in the Supreme Judicial Court's ruling and reinstate policies that had previously been followed in Massachusetts.

Tax Holiday
Continued from Page 3 weeks to gauge support for a possible ballot initiative. It said Tuesday that four versions of the proposed question would be filed: — Reducing the sales to 5 percent; — Reducing the sales tax to 5 percent and establishing a permanent August sales tax holiday; — Reducing the sales tax to 4.5 percent; — Reducing the sales to 4.5 percent and establishing a permanent August sales tax holiday. If certified by Attorney General Maura Healey, who reviews initiative petitions to assure they meet constitutional guidelines, Hurst said his group would hold further talks with members and "stakeholders" to decide which of the four questions it would pursue. Noah Berger, president of the Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center, said the retailers should explain to voters how they would make up for the lost revenue or cut the state budget if voters lower the tax. "This proposal is simply to provide a tax cut with no clarity as to where the money would come from," said Berger. Should a sales tax question reach the November 2018 ballot, it likely would appear alongside a proposed constitutional amendment imposing a 4 percent surtax on annual incomes above $1 million. That would create a scenario in which voters could raise tax revenue through one measure while lowering it through another.

recreational pilots and agriculture sprayers. "It gives the keys of the kingdom to the four largest airlines," Sullenberger said. "I can guarantee you the four largest airlines don't always have the interests of the traveling public in mind." Exhibit A, he said, is the shrinking seat sizes that airlines are incorporating in their planes. Still, unions representing commercial airline pilots and air traffic control workers have endorsed privatization. Patricia Gilbert, executive vice president at the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, said the lack of stable and predictable funding from Congress has contributed to antiquated air towers and equipment, and a shortage of air traffic control workers. "All of those things need a focus," Gilbert said. "And we're not seeing that." Backers also say the board is too diversified for any one aspect of the aviation community to dominate it. A Senate bill reauthorizing aviation programs ignores the privatization issue. Democratic lawmakers called it a nonstarter, and some Republican lawmakers from rural states are also wary. But the bill seeks changes in the training requirements for co-pilots. Supporters see it as a way to ease a pilot shortage faced by smaller, regional airlines. But Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has threatened to block the entire FAA bill if the provision is included. After the nation's last fatal commercial airline crash in February 2009, Congress required that any pilot operating as a first officer, or co-pilot, with an air carrier would need a minimum of 1,500 hours of flight experience. The prior threshold had been what Sullenberger calls an "insanely low" minimum of 250 hours." The bill would expand the type of training that could be credited toward the 1,500 hours. Sullenberger said he feared that people watching videos in hotel ballrooms would be able to count that experience. He contends that the worst-run regional airlines are having the biggest trouble recruiting pilots. He said the nation shouldn't lower its standards to address their concerns.

Summertime Burgers
Quesadilla Burgers
Aloha Chicken Burgers Ingredients 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves 1/4 cup soy sauce 3 slices thick cut bacon 2 large hamburger buns, split 1 tablespoon softened butter 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce 2 slices Swiss cheese 2 tablespoons mayonnaise 2 slices pineapple 2 slices tomato 2 slices of iceberg lettuce
Directions 1. Place chicken breasts into a plastic zipper bag with soy sauce, seal the bag, and marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes. While chicken is marinating, place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over mediumhigh heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towellined plate, and set aside. Spread cut sides of hamburger buns with butter. 2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate. 3. Remove the chicken from the soy sauce, and discard the excess soy sauce. Place the chicken breasts onto the preheated grill, and grill until chicken shows good grill marks, is no longer pink inside, and the juices run clear, 4 to 5 minutes per side. When chicken is almost done, brush each piece generously on both sides with teriyaki sauce to finish grilling. Place a slice of Swiss cheese on each chicken breast, and cover with a lid to help the cheese melt onto the chicken. 4. While chicken is grilling, spread the buns open on the grill and cook until toasted and showing grill lines, about 2 minutes. Set the buns aside. 5. To assemble, spread the grilled sides of each bun with mayonnaise, and top each bottom bun with a cooked chicken breast, 1 1/2 slices of bacon, a slice of pineapple, a slice from a head of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and the top bun.
Ingredients Southwest Sauce: 1/2 cup sour cream 1/4 cup ranch dressing 1/4 cup taco sauce 4 (4 ounce) hamburger patties 1 dash Worcestershire sauce, or to taste 8 flour tortillas 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese 2 cups shredded Colby-Jack cheese 1/2 head lettuce, shredded, or to taste 3 tablespoons picante sauce, or to taste
Pesto Turkey Burgers Ingredients 1 1/4 pounds lean ground turkey 2 tablespoons basil pesto 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt 1/2 cup bread crumbs 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt Directions 1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. 2. Mix together ground turkey, pesto, garlic, feta cheese, 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt, and breadcrumbs in a bowl until evenly blended. Form into 4 patties. 3. Grill pesto burgers until no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. Sprinkle with seasoned salt halfway through cooking.
Directions 1. Mix sour cream, ranch dressing, and taco sauce together in a bowl until Southwest sauce is smooth. Cover bowl and refrigerate for flavors to blend. 2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. 3. Cook hamburger patties in the preheated grill for 5 minutes, seasoning with Worcestershire sauce. Flip patties. Arrange tortillas on the grill and lower heat to medium-low under tortillas. Add Cheddar cheese and Colby-Jack cheese to tortillas; cook until cheeses melt, 2 to 4 minutes. Continue cooking hamburger patties until cooked through, about 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). 4. Spread Southwest sauce onto 1/2 of the tortillas; top with lettuce and picante sauce. Place 1 hamburger patty on top of picante sauce layer and top patty with a tortilla, creating a sandwich.
Veggie Burgers Ingredients 2 teaspoons olive oil 1 small onion, grated 2 cloves crushed garlic 2 carrots, shredded 1 small summer squash, shredded 1 small zucchini, shredded 1 1/2 cups rolled oats 1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese 1 egg, beaten 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour Directions 1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over low
heat, and cook the onion and garlic for about 5 minutes, until tender. Mix in the carrots, squash, and zucchini. Continue to cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat, and mix in oats, cheese, and egg. Stir in soy sauce, transfer the mixture to a bowl, and refrigerate 1 hour. 2. Preheat the grill for high heat. 3. Place the flour on a large plate. Form the vegetable mixture into eight 3 inch round patties. Drop each patty into the flour, lightly coating both sides. 4. Oil the grill grate, and grill patties 5 minutes on each side, or until heated through and nicely browned.
COOKING ON DEADLINE: Panko-Crusted Fish with Tzatziki By KATIE WORKMAN Associated Press Any flaky white fish would be perfect in this recipe. You just want a mild, moist fish, which then will be encased in a crunchy coating, and a base for the flavorful, creamy and crunchy sauce. Serve this up with some steamed or sauteed green beans to round out the plate. Tzatziki is one of the most classic Greek sauces, served with everything from pita (as a dip) to lamb to seafood. It’s a refreshing mix of cucumber, garlic and yogurt, and then the options broaden. You can add any number of fresh herbs, such as dill, oregano, mint, parsley, even the fronds of fennel bulbs. You can swap out the garlic for shallots, or another member of the onion family. Olive oil is often added for a bit of richness, and there is usually some sort of acid, like lemon juice or vinegar, to give it a little kick. I added some chopped fennel to this version because I love its anise-y flavor. The amount of garlic is fairly light; add more if you wish. Different cultures have their own versions of cucumber yogurt sauce, and if you like tzatziki, it’s worth digging in deeper. And if you like tzatziki as much as I do, you may want to make extra to serve up with pita chips the next day, or perhaps dollop it on a piece of grilled chicken or a chop. Leftover roasted meat thinly sliced and piled into a pita with tzatziki makes a great makeshift gyro. Tzatziki is best eaten within a day of making it, as the mixture can start to become watery from the cucumbers. ———
PANKO-CRUSTED FISH WITH TZATZIKI Serves 4 Start to finish: 45 minutes ——— 1 small cucumber 1/2 cup minced fennel 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste 4 (6-ounce) fillets barramundi, tilapia, haddock, halibut or
other mild, firm-fleshed white fish Freshly ground pepper to taste 2 eggs, beaten 1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano 2 teaspoons lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon finely minced garlic 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt Peel the cucumber. Slice in half lengthwise, and scrape out the seeds with a teaspoon. Grate the cucumber using the large holes on a box grater, or the grating blade in a food processor. Toss the cucumber with the fennel and salt, and place in a strainer over a bowl or in the sink. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Place the egg and panko into two separate shallow bowls. Stir the parsley into the panko. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Dunk each fillet in the egg, so that is it well coated, then dredge each filet in the panko mixture. Place the coated fillets in the hot oil and saute the fish for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until cooked through and golden brown. Transfer the fish to a paper towel-lined plate. Use your hands to squeeze the cucumber mixture to press out any extra liquid, then place in a medium bowl. Add the mint, oregano, lemon juice, garlic and yogurt. Stir well, and add pepper and any additional salt as needed (remember the cucumbers and fennel were salted at the beginning). Serve the fish hot, with a spoonful of tzatziki on the side. ——— Nutrition information per serving: 427 calories; 117 calories from fat; 13 g fat (3 g saturated; 0 g trans fats); 196 mg cholesterol; 473 mg sodium; 29 g carbohydrate; 2 g fiber; 5 g sugar; 45 g protein. ———

Baker-Polito Administration Announces the Executive Office of Technology Services and Security BOSTON – Today, the Baker-Polito Administration formally announced the creation of the Executive Office of Technology Services and Security (EOTSS) to provide secure and quality digital information, services, and tools to constituents and service providers when and where they need them. This new secretariat will be established as a result of a 60 day review period by the legislature that ended July 31st. Governor Baker first presented the legislation on June 1, 2017 under Article 87 of the Massachusetts Constitution that authorizes reorganization of executive branch agencies. “Establishing the Executive Office of Technology Service and Security will allow state government to streamline state services, improve cybersecurity and better serve our constituents,” said Governor Baker. “We look forward to developing this secretariat to support the Commonwealth’s focus on providing modern, secure and stable technologies.” “Simplifying IT management will allow agencies to focus on improving their delivery of services to people across the Commonwealth,” said Lt. Governor Karyn Polito. “We thank the legislature for their thoughtful consideration of this legislation as the pace of technology innovation in Massachusetts continues to accelerate.” Mark Nunnelly, the Executive Director of MassIT, will serve as Secretary of EOTSS and Chief Information Officer for the Commonwealth and supervise all activities concerning information technology of state agencies. EOTSS will focus on centralizing IT infrastructure services across the executive department and review and update policies and procedures governing state cybersecurity, digital platforms and data management. “The rate and pace of change have forced all large organizations to rethink their digital service approach from a security, service, and structure perspective,” said EOTSS Secretary Mark Nunnelly. “This reorganization will help equip the many talented IT professionals across the State with the right structure, tools, and platform to secure our information and provide better service to our constituents. We look forward to working with leaders from across the executive branch in making progress against these imperatives.” EOTSS will lead the charge in transforming the Commonwealth’s decentralized approach to IT infrastructure and service delivery into a centralized technology organization laser focused on securing digital assets and providing worldclass service to customers and constituents. EOTSS will also be leading the transition to the redesigned mass.gov. The new Secretariat will operate under the FY 18 budget structure for MassIT and continue to use office space currently occupied by MassIT in Boston and Chelsea. As with any large operation, the Commonwealth must continually protect against threats to its digital infrastructure and this comprehensive legislation empowers EOTSS to strengthen digital operations across secretariats through standardization and centralization will help reduce overall risks. State governments across the country have engaged in similar efforts to standardize and consolidate technology assets in recent years, resulting in increased efficiency and security.
Immigration

"I have long believed and repeatedly said that local officials are in the best position to decide whether and to what extent they should cooperate with the federal government on immigration detention matters," Baker wrote in a letter to House and Senate members. The bill, he said, would allow "violent and dangerous criminals" who face deportation to be held if a valid federal detainer request has been issued. "It authorizes, but does not require, state and local law enforcement to honor detention requests from Immigration and Customs Enforcement for aliens who pose a threat to public safety," Baker wrote. To be labeled as such a threat, a person would have to be suspected of terrorism or espionage, actively involved in a criminal street gang or convicted of a felony such as murder, rape, drug trafficking or human trafficking. But it could also apply to people who have been convicted at least twice of drunken driving or who served at least six months in prison for any offense. The ACLU, which had praised the court's decision as a victory against President Donald Trump's stepped-up deportation efforts, called the governor's proposal "constitutionally suspect," since police could detain people without due process. "Why Governor Baker would attempt to aid President Trump is unsettling — as both a legal and political matter," said Carol Rose, executive director of the ACLU of Massachusetts, in a statement. Marion Davis, spokeswoman for the Massachusetts Immigration and Refugee Advocacy Coalition, said her group considered the legislation "unwise and counterproductive," arguing that even after the court ruling police still have the ability to notify ICE when a convicted violent felon was about to be released from custody.
Gateway Budget a cosmetic change; it wasn’t a serious change,” he said. The district and the towns have been in this situation before. Last year, the budget passed on its first try; but two years ago, after at least three rounds of special town meetings, the district failed to get a majority of the towns to pass it. DESE then set the budget for the district, and required them to hire a consultant. The Massachusetts Association of Retired Superintendents (MARS) sent a team, which met with all the stakeholders and issued a report on its findings. One of the recommendations in the report is for the district to involve the towns more in the budget process. The School Committee has acted on this recommendation, and has scheduled four joint FY19 budget meetings with assigned representatives from the towns, beginning on September 13. In addition, Hopson sent out a letter in July regarding a separate facilitated discussion with the six towns as recommended in the MARS report. The letter, which was approved by the School Committee at its June 7 meeting, said the

the island of Oahu on December 7, 1941 when they got attacked by Japanese aircraft who fired at American B 17’s. Greenleaf started his military career by joining the U.S. Navy in 1940 and then was a part of the Merchant Marines from 1943-1952. Greenleaf Sr.’s son, Bob Greenleaf Jr., is looking forward to the event that will honor his father. “I’m very proud of what he did for the country,” said Greenleaf Jr. ““I’m looking forward to that (the ceremony), it should be a nice ceremony.” Mayor Sullivan’s office has ordered a wreath that will be thrown over the bridge near the park and into the water. It is in honor of Greenleaf Sr., who would attend the Pearl Harbor ceremonies every year that the City of Westfield would organize. Mayor Sullivan is looking for the community to come out and honor Greenleaf Sr. for his dedication to serv-
ing his country. “I hope that the community will come and show support for Robert,” said Sullivan. “He was just a great man, a really special guy and a hero.” “It’s going to be pretty moving, we’re really looking forward to that,” said Rep. John Velis, who will be attending the event. “Every time I had the honor and privilege to talk to him, he was just someone who was so humble.” Velis remembers this year’s past Memorial Day ceremony in Westfield when Greenleaf Sr. passed by him and they exchanged salutes. “It literally brought a tear to my eye,” said Velis. According to Mayor Sullivan’s office, all branches of the military will be represented at the ceremony, from the veteran’s organization in Westfield. Sen. Don Humason will also be present at the event.

that the committee is also considering releasing 150 biodegradable balloons each day of the fair as part of its festivities. “We also have a lot of entertainment lined up each day and in particular, one of our returning favorite bands – Cory DeGray and the Knightsmen Band – is also celebrating its own anniversary, 50 years performing,” said Wyman. On a recent morning, Wyman and fellow volunteers Greg Girard and Allen Laflamme were up early and surveying the grounds that soon will be transformed once again to showcase the Society’s signature theme – promoting agriculture, horticulture, floriculture, manufacturing, mechanical and fine arts. Wyman noted that another new feature of the fair will be for area residents to enter their competition information online. “Our new website will be up by the first week of August and we are excited about the improvements to it,” said Wyman. For Girard, a recent transplant to the town with his wife Jennifer, reconnecting with his years growing up on a farm in Connecticut was a natural fit for wanting to lend a hand with this year’s fair. “They always need volunteers to help and my first impression with last year’s fair was it was a nice little fair, not too big where you can get lost,” said Girard. “We also took our 3-yearold grandson who especially enjoyed the interaction with the animals.” Laflamme, executive vice president of the organization, echoed those sentiments. “I have been volunteering for more than 15 years because it is a good group of people who put the fair together,” said Laflamme. While there are always maintenance issues to tend to, there are also countless volunteers who are working behind the scenes in a variety of capacities – ensuring when the gates open at 3 p.m. on Sept. 1 – everyone attending will experience a hometown fair that will create memories for years to come. “My extended family has been involved with the fair since the 1940’s,” said Wyman, noting he too worked for 20 cents an hour as a youth raking the dirt tracks for racing. “We saved our money so we could ride the Ferris wheel a few times and buy hamburgers and hot dogs which were only 25 cents at that time,” said Wyman. Other highlights of the Labor Day weekend fair will include civil and revolutionary war re-enactments, horse shows, a pedal tractor pulling contest for ages four to 14, barn exhibits, an art show exhibition, a cake decorating contest sponsored by King Arthur Flour, and the dining room homemade meals. “Our locally prepared meals include staples like meatloaf with mashed potatoes on Friday, ham and baked beans on Saturday, a chicken barbecue on Sunday, and a roast beef dinner on Monday,” said Wyman, adding that each meal is topped off with either a slice of homemade apple or blueberry pie. Wyman noted that the fair is particularly geared for families of young children. On Sept. 3, a bicycle parade for all ages is planned with a theme of “150 Years of the Blandford Fair.” Bikes will be judged for originality, theme, and age group, and first and second prizes will be awarded. Age groups are preschool, elementary, junior high, high school, and all ages beyond. “We have a lot of activities for kids including a three-legged sack race, a scarecrow building contest, face painting, strolling clowns and magicians,” said Wyman. Vendors of all types – from food to specialty products – will also be exhibiting throughout the fair and among those will be the Tekoa Chapter of DeMolay, based in Westfield. On a recent morning, members of the chapter and their advisers were hard at work scrapping, sealing and painting the 20′ x 12′ building they will use to sell breakfast items, hamburgers, hot dogs, pulled pork sandwiches and much more. “The money we raise will support the young men with their projects,” said Al Giguere, who serves as “chapter dad.” Brochures about DeMolay will also be available and advisers will be on hand to answer questions about the organization. Joe Ruffo, 15, who attends Westfield Technical Academy, has been a DeMolay member for more than a year and was recently voted to serve as a master counselor. “I enjoy the fun events we can participate in, as well as learn-

Other issues to be worked out include a location, dates, times, agenda items, amount of money each town is willing to allocate, and selection of facilitators. Hopson said two of the MARS team are willing to facilitate. He also suggested that Zack Blake of the Division of Local Services, who has been working on financial issues with the towns through the Hilltown Collaborative, be asked to participate. Hopson said he expects the facilitated discussion to be over and above the budget process. He said MARS pointed out the need for long range planning around annual budgets and capital budgets. “I just hope that as we move forward, we can air our differences and move forward in a positive manner,” Hopson added. The facilitated meetings were also a point of discussion at the GTAC meeting. Myers pointed out that the towns will have an equal seat at the table. “We need to talk not only about next year, but 5-10 years down the road,” Myers said, add-

ing that the environment has changed in the district, and the situation is not sustainable for the towns. Both the facilitated meetings and the budget discussions will start with the FY19 budget and look forward. When asked whether failing to pass the FY18 budget will impact the process, Hopson said the School Committee would still go forward with the planned meetings. However, Hopson said the current 1/12th budget leaves the district $160,000 short, and would impact the planning for the FY19 budget. “How do you make it up? How do you account for that going forward?” Hopson asked. For many reasons, Hopson is hoping for at least one town of the three to pass the budget this month. “It would certainly make the teachers feel more comfortable,” he said. If the budget does not pass, the School Committee will have thirty days to put forward another budget. Since the School Committee does not meet again until August 23, Hopson said they may have to ask DESE for an extension.
Members of the Tekoa Chapter of DeMolay, based in Westfield – along with their advisers and some friends – scrapped, sealed and painted the building recently they will be using to sell food at the Blandford Fair. ing skills including public speaking,” said Ruffo. Justin Lambert, 14, who attends Agawam High School, echoed those sentiments. “I enjoy helping out with community projects and networking which helps each other,” said Lambert. Kaidyn Dion-Carberry, 13, who attends Hampshire Regional High School, recently joined the group. “My dad encouraged me to join to develop a variety of skills,” said Dion-Carberry. “There are a lot of fun events and I am also looking forward to improving my public speaking skills.” For Josh Boden, 13, who attends Hampshire Regional, the idea of joining the group was sparked by a conversation with Dion-Carberry. “Kaidyn encouraged me and it sounded like fun,” said Boden. “I know I will grow from the experiences, especially helping in the community.” The DeMolay building is adjacent to the bleachers where the animal pulls are conducted. Also in conjunction with the fair’s 150th celebration, the Blandford Historical Society is sponsoring an art contest with the theme “150 Years of the Blandford Fair.” For more details, visit the Blandford Fair’s Facebook page. All entries need to be submitted by Aug. 23 between 10 a.m. and noon at the Blandford Historical Building. For information, contact Linda Barnard at (413) 848-0154. Admission to the Blandford Fair is $10 for adults, $5 for seniors, children ages six to 12, $5, and children under six admitted free. There is also a parking fee of $5. Fair hours are Friday, Sept. 1, 3 to 9 p.m.; Saturday, Sept. 2, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Sunday, Sept. 3, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Monday, Sept. 4, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more fair information, or to volunteer (age 12 and up) to help in a variety of ways, visit www.theblandfordfair.com. “Attending the Blandford Fair is an opportunity to reconnect with peers and is a great way to renew old acquaintances,” said Wyman.
Finding Neverland
Continued from Page 1
Neverland. The musical made its world premiere in Leicester, UK in 2012, with the reworked version making its world premiere in 2014 at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, MA. Following its Cambridge run, the production transferred to Broadway in 2015. You might recall the movie, which starred Johnny Depp, Kate Winslet, Dustin Hoffman, and Julie Christie. A.R.T. director Diane Paulus recreated the Finding Neverland staging she created for Cambridge and later Broadway. She and A.R.T have become quite polished at staging musicals for Broadway, and in recent years, Hair, Pippin, The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess, and Waitress have made the journey from Boston to New York under Paulus’ careful attention. Mia Michaels’ choreography blends well with Paulus’ staging. The physical production of Finding Neverland is deluxe with great sets by Scott Pask, costumes by Suttirat Anne Larlarb, lighting by Kenneth Posner, and exquisite projections by Jon Driscoll. Billy Harrigan Tighe is a commanding James Barrie–easy on the eyes and the ears. Christine Dwyer’s Sylvia is ravishing. John Davidson, veteran Broadway musical star, and TV personality is perfection as Charles Frohman who morphs into Captain Hook. Karen Murphy, star of TheaterWorks I’ll Eat You Last, is fine as Sylvia’s mother. The four young men playing the Llewelyn Davies children are also great. I attended the Finding Neverland performance with my young pal, high school senior Ben Jacek and his mom. Ben attended Newsies at CT. Rep with me and acted as my ice-cream tester at the UConn Dairy Bar. Finding Neverland was his second professional theatre production. He gave Finding Neverland high marks and was blown away by the special effects as well as the story. Finding Neverland may have helped to create the next generation of theatre-goers, although it may be too complex for younger kids, unless they know the Peter Pan story. ——— The Bushnell presents Finding Neverland.

Vermont rallies past Westfield By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer JENKINS TOWNSHIP – It is now a numbers game for the Westfield Little League Softball 10-Year-Old All-Stars. Vermont staged a late comeback to hand Westfield its second defeat of the Little League Softball 10-Year-Old East Regionals, scoring four unanswered runs of the game’s final two innings to rally past the Whip City’s All-Stars 5-3 Tuesday. Vermont (1-3) got on the board early with one run in the top of the first inning, but Westfield (1-2) fought back with one run in the fourth and two runs in the fifth to take a 3-1 lead. Vermont tied the game 3-all with two runs in the sixth, and went ahead for good with two more in the top of the seventh. No additional game details were provided. Westfield wraps up New England pool play Wednesday morning against Maine (1-2), needing a win and help to qualify for Thursday’s semifinal round, which also includes teams from the midAtlantic region (Mountain Top, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York). The championship game will be played Friday. The current standings among New England teams, entering Wednesday were as follows: Rhode Island 3-0 Connecticut 2-1 Westfield 1-2 Maine 1-2 Vermont 1-3.

By DOUG ALDEN Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — With the game on the line, Christian Vazquez launched a long drive that even Austin Jackson couldn't reach. Vazquez hit a three-run homer with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning and the Boston Red Sox pulled off the final rally of a wild game Tuesday night, beating the Indians 12-10 despite an astonishing catch by Jackson. "Some odd things took place offensively," Boston manager John Farrell said, marveling at the outcome and the many twists and turns that preceded it as the Red Sox moved back into first place in the AL East. The teams combined for 28 hits and six home runs, but Jackson made a defensive play that stood above all the offense when he robbed Hanley Ramirez of a leadoff homer in the fifth with a leaping grab in the right-center triangle at Fenway Park. The center fielder reached way above the wall and tumbled head over heels into the Red Sox bullpen, disappearing from view momentarily before popping up and showing the ball was in his glove — to the amazement of players on both sides. A replay review confirmed Jackson held on for the catch, and the sensational play earned him a standing ovation from rival Red Sox fans. "That was one of the best catches I think I've ever seen," Cleveland manager Terry Francona said. "I've been in the game a long time. That's a hard wall out there and a lot of guys run away from it. Austin went up and over." Vazquez also went up and over, ending the game with a shot to center that Jackson could only turn around and watch leave the park as Vazquez rounded the bases and the Red Sox celebrated an unlikely victory. Mitch Moreland had just struck out swinging for what should have been the final out, but the pitch from Cleveland closer Cody Allen (0-6) was wild and Moreland reached first safely to extend the inning. Allen then fell behind 3-1 in the count and Vazquez pounced on the next pitch. "I was going to try to throw my best fastball and hopefully get an out," Allen said. "He hit that ball a long way." Vazquez wasn't the only one. Cleveland tied it on Francisco Lindor's leadoff homer in the top of the ninth and took a 10-9
Celtics sign free agent guard Shane Larkin BOSTON (AP) — The Celtics have signed free agent guard Shane Larkin. The deal was announced by the team on Monday. Larkin was the 18th overall pick in the 2013 draft by Atlanta before being traded to Dallas on draft night. He played in Spain last season, splitting time between the ACB league, Euroleague and the Spanish Cup. The 24-year-old University of Miami product averaged 5.8 points and 3.2 assists per game over three seasons playing for the Mavericks, Knicks and Nets.

lead on Craig Kimbrel's bases-loaded wild pitch with Jackson at the plate. But the Indians, who led 5-0 after two innings, blew the lead for the third and final time in the bottom of the ninth. Moreland hit a three-run homer in the second and Eduardo Nunez had three hits and four RBIs for the Red Sox, including a bases-loaded double in the sixth as Boston scored four times to take its first lead. "I don't know if you can separate the ninth from any other part of this game. We haven't had a game like this for a long time," Farrell said. The comeback lifted Boston a half-game ahead of the New York Yankees, who lost 4-3 to Detroit. Kimbrel (3-0) blew a save for the fourth time this season, but ended up with the win when Vazquez hit his second homer of the year. RAMIREZ ROBBED Disappointed as Boston fans were to learn Jackson had taken a homer away from Ramirez, the Fenway Park crowd gave Jackson quite an ovation. "That was awesome. I was just so pumped up it was like I didn't even hear them," Jackson said. "I was just pumped up for us and glad that I was able to hold onto it. Especially going over like that, I could've easily dropped it." SLUGFEST The game began with two of the top pitchers in the AL squaring off, but neither figured in the decision. Cleveland starter Carlos Carrasco didn't make it out of the second inning despite being given a quick 5-0 cushion by his teammates. Boston ace Chris Sale steadied himself after a rocky start and pitched five innings, allowing seven runs on eight hits. "You talk about a roller-coaster game. When you jump up 5-0 on Sale, that's doing something," Francona said. "Then they came storming back. From there it was just back and forth." Brandon Guyer, Edwin Encarnacion and Carlos Santana also homered for Cleveland in a rematch of last year's AL playoff series won by the Indians. "The big thing that really got me tonight was not keeping the ball in the ballpark," Sale said. TRAINER'S ROOM Indians: 2B Jason Kipnis (right hamstring) started a rehab assignment with Double-A Akron. ... Cleveland activated RHP Joe Smith, acquired in a trade with Toronto on Monday. Red Sox: Placed 2B Dustin Pedroia on the 10-day DL, retroactive to Saturday, with inflammation in his left knee. Pedroia missed the last three games before the Red Sox made the roster move Tuesday. UP NEXT Indians: RHP Trevor Bauer (9-8, 5.25 ERA) received an extra day of rest after holding the Angels to one earned run and seven hits over eight innings last Thursday. Red Sox: Reigning AL Cy Young Award winner Rick Porcello (4-14, 4.55) tries to end a four-game losing streak.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL CAPSULES By The Associated Press RED SOX 12, INDIANS 10 BOSTON (AP) — Christian Vazquez hit a three-run homer with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning and the Boston Red Sox pulled off the final rally of a wild game Tuesday night, beating the Cleveland Indians 12-10 despite an astonishing catch by center fielder Austin Jackson. In the fifth inning, Jackson robbed Hanley Ramirez of a leadoff homer with a leaping grab in the right-center triangle at Fenway Park. Jackson reached way above the wall and tumbled head over heels into the Red Sox bullpen, steadying himself by holding onto the fence with his right arm. Following a soft landing, Jackson stood up and showed umpires he indeed had the ball, to the amazement of players on both sides. A replay review confirmed Jackson held on for the catch. Cleveland, which tied it on Fancisco Lindor’s leadoff homer in the top of the ninth and added a run on a wild pitch, blew the lead for the third and last time in the bottom of the ninth in a game the Indians led 5-0 after two innings. DODGERS 3, BRAVES 2 ATLANTA (AP) — Kenta Maeda allowed only two hits in seven scoreless innings, Cody Bellinger homered and Los Angeles won its ninth straight. The slumping Braves were shut down by Maeda (10-4) but cut their deficit to one with Johan Camargo’s two-run homer off Josh Ravin in the eighth. Atlanta ended the inning with Brandon Phillips, who had a pinch-hit single, on third base. Bellinger led off the fourth with his 29th homer into the Braves’ bullpen in right-center off Lucas Sims (0-1). Sims and second baseman Ozzie Albies made their major league debuts for Atlanta, which has lost six in a row. Kenley Jansen struck out the side in the ninth for his 28th save in 29 chances. RAYS 6, ASTROS 4 HOUSTON (AP) — Evan Longoria became the second Tampa Bay player to hit for the cycle and drove in three runs to lead the Rays past Houston. He was a double shy when he came to the plate with two outs in the ninth inning and laced a laser to left field. Longoria dashed to second base and slid in to avoid the tag of Jose Altuve. He was initially ruled out, but the call was overturned after a crew chief review. Most of the Rays stood up behind the railing of the dugout and cheered as the call was reversed. Logan Morrison hit a solo homer and finished with two RBIs. Lucas Duda singled with one out in the first before Longoria launched his towering homer, which banged on train tracks atop left field, off Mike Fiers (7-6) to make it 2-0. Morrison’s 27th homer came next to make it 3-0. Rays starter Chris Archer (8-6) allowed six hits, four runs and struck out five in 6-plus innings to get his first win since July 4. TIGERS 4, YANKEES 3 NEW YORK (AP) — John Hicks hit a threerun homer in his first big league game in more than a month, Justin Upton added a solo drive off CC Sabathia, and Detroit held on to beat the New York Yankees. A 27-year-old rookie recalled Monday for his fifth major league stint this season, Hicks drove a slider over the right-center field wall in the second inning, capping a 10-pitch atbat. Upton made it 4-0 in the third when he hit a full-count slider to left-center for his 18th homer. Shane Greene walked pinch-hitter Jacoby Ellsbury with two outs in the ninth, and bounced a pickoff throw for an error that allowed Ellsbury to reach third. Brett Gardner was intentionally walked and stole second, and rookie Clint Frazier popped out. Anibal Sanchez (3-1) allowed six hits in 6 2/3 innings and improved to 3-0 at Yankee Stadium. Sabathia (9-4) gave up six hits in six innings. BREWERS 3, CARDINALS 2 MILWAUKEE (AP) — Jimmy Nelson finally beat St. Louis with six strong innings, and the Milwaukee Brewers held on for a 3-2 victory over the Cardinals on Tuesday night. Nelson (9-5) entered 0-8 with a 7.01 ERA in 11 appearances (10 starts) against the Cardinals. This time, the right-hander overcame his division rival by allowing just two runs on six hits with seven strikeouts. The Brewers’ bullpen kept the Cardinals off the scoreboard for three innings, including Anthony Swarzak striking out the side in the eighth after Josh Hader issued a leadoff walk. Corey Knebel then earned his 19th save. The Brewers scored their three runs in the first inning off Cardinals starter Carlos Martinez (7-9) and had just two infield singles the rest of the game. MARLINS 7, NATIONALS 6 MIAMI (AP) — Max Scherzer hit his first career homer to help build a six-run lead, but he pitched only one inning before departing with a neck spasm, and Miami rallied to beat Washington. Scherzer slept funny and left the game as a precaution, the Nationals said. The Marlins took the lead with a four-run fifth inning. Marcell Ozuna hit a three-run homer off Matt Albers (5-2), and Derek Dietrich’s RBI triple put Miami ahead 7-6. Six pitchers combined to blank Washington over the final 7 2/3 innings. Dustin McGowan (7-1) pitched two scoreless innings during Miami’s comeback. Brad Ziegler, promoted to closer after A.J. Ramos was traded last week, pitched the ninth and worked around a pair of two-out singles for his 86th career save and first this year. Ryan Zimmerman grounded out to end the game. ROCKIES 5, METS 4 DENVER (AP) — Nolan Arenado hit a three-run homer in the sixth inning and a game-winning single in the bottom of the ninth that lifted Colorado past the New York Mets. Charlie Blackmon crashed into the centerfield fence for an outstanding catch that ended the top of the ninth. In the bottom half, the Rockies took advantage of a misplay by new Mets shortstop Amed Rosario, a touted prospect making his major league debut. Blackmon drew a leadoff walk from Hansel Robles (6-2) and DJ LeMahieu followed with an infield single off the glove of Rosario, unable to make the backhand play after initially breaking toward second base with Blackmon running on the pitch.
Arenado reached out and looped a single to center that scored Blackmon. PADRES 3, TWINS 0 SAN DIEGO (AP) — Austin Hedges hit a two-run home run in the eighth inning and Jhoulys Chacin combined with two relievers on a three-hitter for San Diego. The Padres had only two hits and led 1-0 going into the eighth before Hunter Renfroe singled off Alan Busenitz with one out and Hedges homered to right-center, his 14th. Jose Berrios (9-5) held the Padres hitless until Renfroe opened the sixth by beating out an infield single to third base. Hedges followed with a double to right and Manuel Margot hit a sacrifice fly with one out. Hedges was thrown out trying to take third. Berrios had faced the minimum 15 batters until the sixth. He issued a one-out walk to Carlos Asuaje in the first before Jose Pirela hit into a double play. Chacin (11-7) allowed three hits in seven innings, struck out three and walked two. ORIOLES 7, ROYALS 2 BALTIMORE (AP) — Dylan Bundy allowed three hits over a career-high eight innings, newcomer Tim Beckham had two hits and scored twice and resurgent Baltimore won its fourth straight. Seth Smith drove in three runs to help the Orioles move within two games of .500 (5254) for the first time since July 3. Kansas City will seek to avoid a threegame sweep on Wednesday. The Royals came to town having won 10 of 11, but they’ve only scored three runs in these two games at Camden Yards. Bundy (10-8) struck out five and walked one. The right-hander had not pitched more than seven innings in any of his previous 34 major league starts. All three hits Bundy allowed were singles — none after the third inning — and he retired the final 13 batters he faced. The only run he allowed was unearned. Ian Kennedy (4-7) gave up four runs and eight hits in four-plus innings. REDS 9, PIRATES 1 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Billy Hamilton hit a three-run homer and tripled, Eugenio Suarez and rookie Jesse Winker also went deep, and Cincinnati overwhelmed Pittsburgh. Hamilton tripled and scored in the first inning. Then he sent a pitch from Jameson Taillon (6-5) into the right-field seats in the second for his third home run of the season as the last-place Reds beat Pittsburgh again. Cincinnati is 7-1 against the Pirates this season and 36-62 versus everyone else. Homer Bailey (3-5) allowed one run in six innings, striking out three and walking two to snap a three-start losing streak. Taillon gave up eight runs on 11 hits in 3 2/3 innings and is 1-3 with a 12.18 ERA since the All-Star break. BLUE JAYS 8, WHITE SOX 4 CHICAGO (AP) — Justin Smoak hit his 31st homer, Josh Donaldson homered and drove in three runs, and Toronto beat Chicago. Smoak and Donaldson each connected for the second straight night and third time in five games. Donaldson also had a sacrifice fly and RBI double. Marcus Stroman (10-5) went seven innings, allowing four runs and seven hits. He was winless in his previous three starts despite a 1.89 ERA in that stretch. Toronto came out on top after dropping three of four and snapped a four-game road losing streak. Chicago’s Kevan Smith hit a two-run homer batting for injured designated hitter Matt Davidson in the sixth. But the White Sox lost for the 18th time in 22 games. CUBS 16, DIAMONDBACKS 4 CHICAGO (AP) — Jon Lester hit his first major league homer and struck out nine to reach 2,000 for his career, helping the Cubs cruise past Arizona. Anthony Rizzo went deep twice and Ian Happ and Javier Baez also connected as Chicago kicked off a six-game homestand with its 14th win in 17 games since the AllStar break. Rizzo, Baez and Albert Almora Jr. each drove in three runs, and Kris Bryant and Willson Contreras had two RBIs apiece. The NL Central leaders rapped out 17 hits in their highest-scoring game of the season and stayed 2 1/2 games ahead of secondplace Milwaukee. With two outs and Happ on first in the third, Lester drove a 2-2 pitch from Patrick Corbin (8-10) over the wall in center to make it 8-1. The crowd of 40,709 roared as Lester trotted around the bases and kept cheering until he popped out of the dugout for a curtain call Hector Rondon (3-1) got five outs for the win and Mike Montgomery pitched three innings for his third save. MARINERS 8, RANGERS 7 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Robinson Cano doubled twice and drove in three runs as Seattle beat Texas. Cano’s two-run double in the sixth was the 499th of his career, moving him into a time with Rusty Staub for 63rd in MLB history. Jarrod Dyson had his 200th career steal in the win and threw out a runner from centerfield at third to end the eighth inning in a onerun game. Nelson Cruz homered and Leonys Martin had two hits and two RBIs for Seattle. Joey Gallo had two homers and four RBIs, and Rougned Odor also went deep for the Rangers, who lost their fourth straight. Casey Lawrence (1-3) picked up his first MLB win after after entering the game in the fourth inning. Edwin Diaz earned his 21st save after working a 1-2-3 ninth. Nick Martinez (3-4) gave up seven runs and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings. GIANTS 10, ATHLETICS 4 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Hunter Pence hit a three-run homer and Nick Hundley added a two-run shot to back a stellar start by Jeff Samardzija and lead San Francisco past Oakland. Brandon Belt homered leading off the fourth inning to help the Giants snap a fourgame losing streak. San Francisco’s five runs in the first matched its most in any inning this year, and the three homers also equaled a season high. Samardzija (6-11) struck out five over eight innings to win consecutive outings for the second time this year. Matt Joyce hit a two-run homer and a sacrifice fly for the A’s. Sean Manaea (8-6) gave up nine hits and six runs — two earned. He was done after three innings for the second-shortest outing of his career. ANGELS 7, PHILLIES 1 ANAHEIM, Calif.

Pujols followed up his go-ahead double off Aaron Nola (8-7) in the fifth inning with his 608th career homer in the seventh off reliever Mark Leiter. The slugger’s third homer in two games left him one behind Sammy Sosa for eighth place in major league history.
Pujols went 3 for 4 in his 23rd career game with at least five RBIs. That’s the 11th-most in history, tied with Barry Bonds and Cecil Fielder. Ricky Nolasco (5-12) pitched six innings of one-run ball, earning his first victory in a month. The Phillies failed to match their longest winning streak of the season in the opener of an eight-game road trip.

Dear Annie By ANNIE LANE
Trying to stay afloat Dear Annie: I am overwhelmed by life right now, and I’m hoping you can help. My wife and I have demanding jobs and two small children. We are dedicated to our jobs and to our children, and we excel in our careers and in parenting. Because almost all of our time is spent working or paying attention to our kids, all of life’s other responsibilities have started adding up. For example, though we have plenty of money, sometimes we get behind on bills because we file them away for when we have a minute to take care of them, and then forget about paying them. Things that need to get fixed go unfixed for long periods of time. We would like to cook healthful meals for the family, but it’s very hard to find the time to do so. We have about an hour and a half each night between the time the kids go to sleep and the time we should go to bed to get a good night’s rest. I find it hard to do chores during that time because I want to decompress -- have a drink and watch TV. I fantasize about being able to afford a personal assistant, but that’s not an option. Can you help? -- Trying to Stay Afloat Dear Trying to Stay Afloat: Technology can be a lifesaver for young parents on the go, and anyone else who is feeling overwhelmed. Try a finance-management app, such as Mint, which can remind you of upcoming bills or be set up to automatically pay them. As for healthful meals, you might consider trying a meal-kit delivery service, such as Blue Apron or Green Chef. These companies will deliver a cooler to you each week containing ingredients and recipes for delicious, healthful dinners. They subtract a lot of time and stress from cooking, and you’ll feel proud of having prepared a gourmet meal. Dear Annie: I’m having a hard time. My soon-to-be husband’s family hates me. Well, it’s actually just his aunt. I don’t understand what I have done to her, but she treats me like dirt. She spreads lies about me. I’ve done everything in my power to get her to like me and treat me with respect, and I can’t think of anything else to do. She is pushing me away, and I’ve not done anything to her. -Confused Dear Confused: I’m willing to bet your fiance’s aunt had that mean streak in her long before you ever arrived on the scene. If she weren’t chewing you out, it would be something or somebody else. Talk to your fiance and let him know how his aunt’s behavior has hurt your feelings. He can (and should) talk to her on your behalf. Perhaps he can get clarity on what, if anything, sparked this animosity. But at the end of the day, she might never like you -- and that’s OK. She doesn’t have to. What matters is that you and your fiance love each other. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators. com.

Jim Parsons hails ‘Young Sheldon’ star as ‘in control’ kid BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Jim Parsons, who plays quirky genius Sheldon Cooper on the CBS comedy "The Big Bang Theory," can draw many distinctions between himself and young Iain Armitage, who plays his character as a child on CBS' new spin-off, "Young Sheldon." Parsons finds Iain much more "in control as a human being" and more mature than he was at age 9. Hearing Parsons during a TV critics conference on Tuesday,
Iain thanked him but graciously replied, "I don't think so." Laughing, Parsons noted that Iain hadn't known him back then. They have much more in common these days, insisted Parsons, than they ever would have had when he was a youngster. Parsons as adult Sheldon narrates "Young Sheldon," which premieres Sept. 25. He continues on "The Big Bang Theory," beginning Season 11.
Lawsuit: Fox coordinated with White House on false story By DAVID BAUDER AP Television Writer NEW YORK (AP) — An investigator who worked on the Seth Rich case claims Fox News fabricated quotes implicating the murdered Democratic National Committee staffer in the WikiLeaks scandal and coordinated with the Trump administration as it worked on the story. The investigator, Rod Wheeler, sued Fox for defamation. His lawsuit, filed Tuesday in New York, lays out an explosive tale of Trump allies conspiring to push a false story to take the pressure of the Russian collusion investigation off the president, and a news organization willing to show the president its story before it was published. Fox called the accusation that reporter Malia Zimmerman’s story was published to detract from the Russian investigation “completely erroneous.” Jay Wallace, Fox’s news president, said the story is still being investigated and that Fox has no evidence that Wheeler was misquoted. The White House had no immediate comment. Wheeler, a Fox contributor who looked into Rich’s July 2016 murder for the family, was brought into the case by Ed Butowsky, a Texas man and Trump supporter who appeared frequently on Fox, the lawsuit said. Butowsky was intent on establishing a link between Rich, who was killed in July 2016 in what Washington police believe was a botched robbery, and the WikiLeaks
scandal. Wheeler was quoted in the May 16 story on Fox’s web site saying there had been contact between Rich and WikiLeaks, whose dump of DNC emails proved a major detriment to Hillary Clinton’s campaign. He also said he was quoted falsely saying that someone — possibly Democrats or Clinton campaign officials — was blocking an investigation into Rich’s murder. Two days before the Fox article was published, Butowsky told Wheeler in a phone conversation that Trump had read the article
and wanted it published immediately, the lawsuit said. Butowsky had no immediate comment. Wheeler also claimed that he was told that his false comments were put in the story because Trump wanted it that way. Wheeler also said that he and Butowsky had met with former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer and showed Spicer notes on Wheeler’s investigation. Spicer asked to be kept informed of the probe, the lawsuit said. Fox removed the story from its website a week
after it was published, saying that “it was not initially subjected to the high degree of editorial scrutiny we require for all of our reporting.” That forced Fox News’ most high-profile host, Sean Hannity, to back away from aggressively pushing the story on the air. Wheeler, who is black and has been a Fox contributor since 2005, is also suing Fox for racial discrimination. He said similar law enforcement experts who are white were given higher pay and more opportunities. Wallace denied the accusations.

Work on understanding where others are coming from. As a result, you will know what to do. Tonight: All smiles. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Take your time and clarify what others are saying. Even after several conversations, you still might not be sure of where others are coming from. You’ll make a strong impression on people, especially someone who is in a position of authority. Tonight: Not to be found. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Emphasize what is working for you. Others need to honor your bottom line. You might not be pleased by everything you hear; there could be a vagueness that makes you uncomfortable. Work on gaining greater clarity rather than settle for a semi-agreement. Tonight: With friends. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Stay on top of what is happening. Your creativity naturally emerges. You might know that you have a great idea, but convincing others could be a problem. A loved one remains highly responsive to you, and others look to you for leadership. Tonight: A must appearance. BORN TODAY Novelist James Baldwin (1924), actor Peter O’Toole (1932), filmmaker Kevin Smith (1970)
