Southwick Fireworks Fundraising Update By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent SOUTHWICK – With just under 20 days left, Joe Deedy and Kevin Bishop still need the community’s help to raise enough money for the Southwick Fireworks on July 22. Deedy, who is the Owner of Moolicious Ice Cream, and Bishop, who is the President of the non-profit organization, Team Justice, have teamed up to head this fundraiser. Initially reported by the Westfield News on June 19, the two members of the town said they would need $11,000 to cover the costs of the fireworks, police and fire detail, and any permits that go along with it. Since the fundraiser has been opened up to the public, local businesses and residents have stepped up. As of July 2, the Save the Southwick Fireworks Facebook page posted that they have $4,421 left to raise. Deedy is pleased with the progress thus far, but hopes that people will be inspired by all of the fireworks events going on this week for the Fourth of July in the surrounding communities. “It’s getting there, hopefully we can do it,” said Deedy. “Maybe after watching fireworks this weekend (somewhere else), they’ll donate to our show.” Some of the local businesses that have donated already include Crestview Construction, Moolicious, Team Justice, Security Fence and Kennel, JD Auto Care, Southwick Florist, the Southwick Select Board, the Southwick Republican Committee, and several See Fireworks Funding, Page 3
By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—The city’s 350th anniversary now has an organization that will be able to officially lead the celebration planning. The 350th anniversary celebration is being headed by the newly-created Friends of the Westfield 350, Inc., according to Harry Rock, president of the organization. The Friends have been starting the planning for the celebration and organizing, but they were not recognized by the state as a nonprofit organization, Rock said. That all changed last Friday, according to Rock. “It’s exciting to me because it gives us validity and a presence and says that we are an official organization,” Rock said. “We also got our EIN [employer identification number] so we can establish a bank account and start fundraising.” The Westfield 350 logo was designed by Allison Terkelsen, a student at Westfield State University. According to Rock, the creation of the Friends of the Westfield 350 was done
with assistance from local attorney Tom Keenan. Rock said that the organization hopes to start fundraising soon. He also said that the finances of the organization will be transparent, both for those concerned and for those who donate. “I’m a big believer in donor intent,” he said. “Making sure funds are used in the way that the person intended with those
monies.” Now that the group has an official organizational status, Rock said that their next step is to gain 501(c)3 status, so donations made to the organizations can be tax-deductible. Currently, Rock said that the organization is developed to feature five committees, with two co-chairs within each committee. In addition, Peter Miller, community development director, and Amber Danahey, community outreach coordinator, are representatives for the city in the organization. “We are working in partnership with the city but we are a private organization tasked with planning,” Rock said. “The biggest thing we are doing, we’re really setting the stage.” In addition to the announcement of being a nonprofit organization, Rock said that planning for the 2019 celebration is underway. Some ideas that have been floated in their first ever board meeting last week included having a First Night on Dec. 31, 2018, which See 350th, Page 3
Westfield Parks and Rec offers a variety of summer programs for kids By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—With school over and adults wanting some outdoor activities for their children, the Westfield Parks and Recreation Department just may have what you’re looking for. The Parks and Recreation Department offers a variety of programs again this summer, and many come with a relatively affordable cost. According to Jim Blascak, event coordinator for Westfield Parks and Recreation, the offerings include many different camps, from sports to leisure activities to creative arts. In addition, other options are provided for children to help get rid of the occasional summer vacation doldrums they experience.
“We have camps,” Blascak said. “We have about four or five different soccer camps, some drawing and painting-type classes, dance camp, field hockey camp, tennis lessons, skateboarding.” Blascak also said that there are nature programs that children from kindergarten to 5th grade can attend, as well as horseback riding and volleyball camps. In addition, there are even camps that teach potential babysitters, the Children and Babysitters Safety Program, which helps to educate about how to care for younger children, as well as proper safety. Most of the above programs cost anywhere from $60 to $135 to attend, with supplies often being provided. See Summer, Page 3

Scottish heritage celebrated through music, dance, athletics and more
Two Westfield construction updates
By LORI SZEPELAK Correspondent FLORENCE — A “hundred thousand welcomes” awaits visitors to the 24th annual Glasgow Lands Scottish Festival on July 15 at Look Park. Blandford resident Peter Langmore, who is now in his 18th year as chairman, encourages area residents to step back in time and enjoy the re-creation of Scottish heritage through music, dance, athletics, delightful fare and more. During an interview last week, Langmore explained that in 1753, 50 Ulster Scot families, with all the possessions they could carry, trekked westward through the sparsely settled countryside of Massachusetts for approximately 100
By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—According to city engineer Mark Cressotti, the line painting on Franklin Street should be starting back up as early as today. The Franklin Street project is just one of several currently ongoing or soon beginning in the city, as Westfield and the region are in the throes of construction season. Franklin Street has seen some delays starting back as early as June 9, Cressotti said. “We are having some trouble with the line striper, they should be coming back [July 5 and July 6],” Cressotti said. “We thought they were coming back for about a month, now hopefully they perform.” According to Cressotti, the delays have included issues with weather, as well as an accident. There was also a
miles to settle the rugged, hilly, frontier wilderness which they called Glasgow Lands or New Glasgow – later renamed Blandford. “The Glasgow Lands Scottish Festival was first conducted in 1994 at the Blandford Fairgrounds to help raise funds needed for restoration of their historic White Church,” said Langmore. “Although intended to be held only one year, the event was so well received by Scots from throughout the northeastern United States that it has become a tradition.” As years passed the festival outgrew the Blandford Fairgrounds and relocated to Stanley Park in Westfield until in 2004, committee members once again moved the event to Look Park in Florence because
of its acres of land and ample parking. Langmore noted the festival is now the second largest Scottish festival in New England and the only one in the state. Tickets are $16 for adults, $5 for children ages six to 12, and free for children under six. Advance tickets ($13) can be purchased through the website until July 8. Gates open at 9 a.m. and visitors are encouraged to bring their own chairs. “Celebrate your Scottish heritage – real or coveted,” said Langmore, noting he has English roots. “I enjoy continuing to bring the Celtic culture to this region through a fun, family event.” Langmore and the many volunteers See Scottish Heritage, Page 2

Scottish Heritage who work behind the scenes enjoy bringing a “wee bit o’ Scotland” to the masses. “As in all such undertakings, our volunteers are at the core of our success,” he said. “We could not present an event of such magnitude without them.” That “magnitude” includes 21 pipe bands, Celtic harp music by the Pioneer Valley Harpers’ Guild, kiltwearing, tree-tossing Scotsmen at the Highland Athletic Games, spinning and weaving lessons from the Weavers’ Guild of Springfield, an Irish step dancing demonstration by the Cassin Academy of Irish Dance, a kilt demonstration, performances by Charlie Zahm, the Tartan Terrors, Screaming Orphans, Albannach and The Brigadoons, and much more. A Celtic Pub will also be available all day featuring the microbrews and mead of New City Brewery in Easthampton and a special – Ginger Libation – from the Artisan Beverage Cooperative in Greenfield. “Attendees can also delight in plates piled high with Scottish foods including scones, shortbread, bridies or meat pies,” said Langmore, adding that a host of food vendors will be on the grounds, also offering fish and chips, turkey legs, pulled pork, chopped brisket, doughnuts, beignets, churros, kettle corn, fried dough,

Surprise! Sailor comes home to find wife 8 months pregnant SAN DIEGO (AP) — A Navy wife greeted her husband returning from six months at sea by revealing she was nearly eight months pregnant with his fourth child. Video posted by Natasha Daugherty to Facebook shows her husband, Petty Officer Chris Daugherty, hugging his three children on the docks in San Diego after getting off the USS Carl Vinson last week. Natasha stood back holding a sign in front of her that read “Welcome Home Baby Daddy” and dropped it to reveal the pregnancy. The video captured his shocked reaction as he poked her belly and asked, “Is that real?” Natasha says she found out she was pregnant soon after Chris deployed on Jan. 5. She tells KSND-TV that keeping the secret “was difficult but totally worth it in the end.”

n July 5, 1947, Larry Doby made his debut with the Cleveland Indians, becoming the first black player in the American League three months after Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in the National League. In the game against the Chicago White Sox at Comiskey Park, Doby, pinch-hitting for Bryan Stephens, struck out in his first at-bat during the seventh inning; Chicago won 6-5.
ON THIS DATE: In 1687, Isaac Newton first published his Principia Mathematica, a three-volume work setting out his mathematical principles of natural philosophy. In 1811, Venezuela became the first South American country to declare independence from Spain. In 1865, the Secret Service Division of the U.S. Treasury Department was founded in Washington, D.C. with the mission of suppressing counterfeit currency. In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the National Labor Relations Act. In 1940, during World War II, Britain and the Vichy government in France broke off diplomatic relations. In 1946, the bikini, created by Louis Reard (ray-AHRD’), was modeled by Micheline Bernardini during a poolside fashion show in Paris. In 1954, Elvis Presley’s first commercial recording session took place at Sun Records in Memphis, Tennessee; the song he recorded was “That’s All Right.” In 1962, independence took effect in Algeria; the same day, civilians of European descent, mostly French, came under
attack by extremists in the port city of Oran. In 1977, Pakistan’s army, led by General Mohammad Zia ul-Haq, seized power from President Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. (Bhutto was executed in 1979.) In 1984, the Supreme Court weakened the 70-year-old “exclusionary rule,” deciding that evidence seized in good faith with defective court warrants could be used against defendants in criminal trials. In 1991, a worldwide financial scandal erupted as regulators in eight countries shut down the Bank of Credit and Commerce International. Actress Mildred Dunnock died in Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts, at age 90. In 2011, a jury in Orlando, Florida, found Casey Anthony, 25, not guilty of murder, manslaughter and child abuse in the 2008 disappearance and death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee.
TEN YEARS AGO: In a setback for President George W. Bush, GOP stalwart Sen. Pete Domenici withdrew his support for the president’s Iraq war policy and embraced a proposal to bring home most troops by March 2008. French opera soprano Regine Crespin died in Paris at age 80.
FIVE YEARS AGO: Trucks carrying NATO supplies rolled into Afghanistan for the first time in more than seven months, ending a painful chapter in U.S.-Pakistan relations that saw the border closed until Washington apologized for an airstrike that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers. Former Argentine dictator Jorge Rafael Videla was convicted and sentenced to 50 years for a systematic program to steal babies from prisoners who were kidnapped, tortured and killed during the mili-
tary junta’s so-called “dirty war” on leftist dissidents. (Videla died in prison in May 2013.) Jockey Jorge Herrera, 33, died after falling from his horse during a race at the Alameda County Fairgrounds in California.
ONE YEAR AGO: The FBI recommended no criminal charges for Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, but Director James Comey’s scathing criticism of her “extremely careless” handling of classified material revitalized Republican attacks. President Barack Obama heartily vouched for Hillary Clinton’s trustworthiness and dedication, making his first outing on the campaign stump for his former secretary of state with an appearance in Charlotte, North Carolina. Republican Donald Trump praised former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein’s ruthlessness, saying in Raleigh, North Carolina, that while Saddam was a “bad guy,” he “killed terrorists. He did that so good.”

includes family-friendly activities and possible overnight activities, as well ideas for fireworks, parades and possible use of the Columbia Greenway in a celebration throughout the year. “Our role is to really celebrate the history and the heritage of the city and to create activities and events,” he said. According to Rock, this will be done with three tenets in mind. “One—they have to be fun because why else would we do it? Two—they need to be educational, so we can talk about what made this city so great. And three—each thing we do needs to be memorable, so everything is well thoughtout and it is significant,” he said. Rock said that if anyone has any ideas for possible celebrations, want to volunteer or would like to donate, they can currently contact Danahey at city hall at (413) 572-6244, or via email at a.danahey@ cityofwestield.org.

chance for work to be finished last week, but another issue arose. “We had some performance just last week and they didn’t finish it in time,” he said. “They had mechanical problems.” The line painting is part of a road diet for Franklin Street, which means a slimming of existing lanes that allows for additional traffic flow improvements on a roadway. The process is being done to better accommodate different modes of travel, especially bicycle. The roadway is being reduced from four travel lanes for motorized vehicles to three. One of those three travel lanes will be a multi-turn center lane, similar to what is seen on North Elm Street, where vehicles can opt to enter and turn across the other lane of traffic. In addition, space on the sides of the road will be increased to better improve bicycle and non-motorized vehicle travel. Joseph Avenue sanitary improvements Also occurring in the city is the Joseph Avenue-area sanitary improvements. This project is “moving along,” according to Cressotti, and traffic flow moderation and disruption is expected to continue, with Paper Mill Road expected to be affected soon. “They are going to be getting to a point where they are closing off a portion of Paper Mill Road,” Cressotti said. He said that the city is looking at the detour this week. “The one that is going to be hardest is when they get onto
Lines and arrows on Franklin Street as they continue to get painted. The new lane is part of a road diet for the street, and is meant to help improve traffic flow. The lane was formerly two other travel lanes, with some space added to the side of the road for bicyclists. This lane will be used as a multi-turn lane for motorized vehicles. that section from Paper Mill Road to Mockingbird Lane,” Cressotti said. “There’s no other way to send them around other than a real difficult route through a neighborhood.” According to Cressotti, the detour may include giving a notice to truck drivers to avoid Paper Mill Road entirely.

more. But, whether you are a business in town or a resident, Bishop wants to give a reminder to those who are always looking forward to the summer tradition in Southwick. “Everybody always says ‘It’s sad when a tradition dies’, well you can make a difference and help make sure this one doesn’t,” said Bishop. If anyone is interested in making a donation towards the fireworks, a check can be written out to Team Justice, which is a 501.3C and makes those who donate, eligible for a tax deduction. Checks can also be dropped off or mailed to Moolicious or Team Justice, which is located on 31 Gargon Terrace in Southwick. Deedy added that all of the money raised will go towards this year’s fireworks, and if they do end up going over the $11,000 target, the extra money will be used for next year’s fireworks.

Summer
Continued from Page 1
But if programs aren’t what you are looking for but rather the traditional summer camp experience, then the city also offers two different versions for children. “Our big summer program is called Adventure Zone,” Blascak said. “It’s our version of daycare, Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.” The program, which is designed for working parents as an affordable form of child care, consists of care and activities that include field trips on Wednesdays, such as roller skating and going to the movies, as well as trips to the Agawam state pool once a week. The age range is from 5 years old to 12 years old, and costs $110 a week per participant, with additional cost for any field trips. The program has already started but people can still sign up. Adventure Zone runs until Aug. 11. If you’re looking for something less costly, or in fact, free, but still allows a child to have activities for most of the day, then the Summer Playground Program may better fit. The program, which is free, runs from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, starting July 3 and running until Aug. 4, at Papermill Playground, Munger Hill School Playground, Municipal Playground, Chapman Playground, Sadie Knox Playground and Hampton Ponds Playground, is listed as appropriate for children from 6 years old to 12 years old. Children are provided with “games, crafts, sports and tournaments” according to the brochure, and two to three first aid and CPR certified staff members supervise each park. Finally, if you’re just looking to find a place for your children to cool off this summer, then perhaps spray parks are the answer. The city provides three spray parks for those seeking a cool refuge from the summer heat—at Municipal Playground, Chapman Playground and Sadie Knox Playground. All three are free to use, have bathrooms and are open seven days a week, from 10:30 a.m. until 8 p.m.

On Sunday morning this week I wish the City Councilors could have seen all the Westfield Taxpayers and their families using the bike trail!!! Facts are much more valid than assumptions! I will say that I was skeptical about the line painting on Franklin St, but, wow, what an improvement that is going to be. The center turn lane is such a good idea. It has worked well on North Elm and I’m sure it will be great on Franklin. We might want to consider some other areas too!!
NKorea long-range missile test spurs US calls for action By JOSH LEDERMAN and CATHERINE LUCEY Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — North Korea's first test of an intercontinental ballistic missile, demonstrating a dangerous new reach for weapons it hopes to top with nuclear warheads one day, is spurring U.S. demands for "global action" to counter the threat. U.S. officials confirmed Tuesday their belief that North Korea's latest missile launch was indeed an ICBM and joined South Korea and Japan in requesting an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council, scheduled Wednesday afternoon. Previously, North Korea had demonstrated missiles of short and medium range but never one able to get to the United States. In a show of force directly responding to North Korea's provocation, U.S. and South Korean soldiers fired "deep strike" precision missiles into South Korean territorial waters on Tuesday, U.S. military officials in Seoul said. The missile firings demonstrated U.S.-South Korean solidarity, the U.S. Eighth Army said in a statement. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson vowed "stronger measures to hold the DPRK accountable," using an acronym for the isolated nation's formal name, and said: "Global action is required to stop a global threat." Any country helping North Korea militarily or economically, taking in its guest workers or falling short on Security Council resolutions, he said, "is aiding and abetting a dangerous regime." Tillerson's statement, issued Tuesday evening as most Americans were celebrating the Fourth of July holiday, notably did not mention China, whose help the Trump administration has been aggressively seeking to press Pyongyang over its nuclear weapons program. In recent days, as the North has continued to test missiles in defiance of global pressure, President Donald Trump has started voicing doubt that Beijing is up to the task. His administration has taken a number of steps against China's interests that have suggested its patience has run short. Tillerson's comments were the first public confirmation by the United States that the missile was indeed an ICBM, constituting a major technological advancement for the North and its most successful missile test yet. The prime danger from the U.S. viewpoint is the prospect of North Korea pairing a nuclear warhead with an ICBM. The latest US intelligence assessment is that the North probably does not yet have that capability — putting a small-enough nuclear warhead atop an ICBM. Initial U.S. military assessments had been that it was an intermediate-range missile. NORAD, or the North American Aerospace Defense Command, said the missile did not pose a threat to North America. Trump, in his initial response to the launch on Monday evening, urged China on Twitter to "put a heavy move on North Korea and end this nonsense once and for all!" But he also said it was "hard to believe" that South Korea and Japan, the two U.S. treaty allies most at risk from North Korea, would "put up with this much longer." The U.S. mission to the United Nations said that U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley had requested that the Security Council meet urgently along with the U.N. envoys from Japan and South Korea. The 3 p.m. meeting Wednesday was to be held "in the open chamber," rather than behind closed doors. The launch was not wholly unexpected. Daniel Coats, director of national intelligence, testified to Congress in May that the U.S. anticipated an ICBM test before the end of this year. The Pentagon has spent tens of billions of dollars developing a missile defense system tailored to the North Korean ambition of attaining the eventual capability to attack the U.S. with a nuclear-armed missile. On May 30 the Pentagon successfully shot down a mock warhead designed to replicate the North Korean threat. Pentagon spokeswoman Dana W. White said the U.S.-South Korea missile exercise Tuesday was meant to show "our precision fire capability. "We remain prepared to defend ourselves and our allies and to use the full range of capabilities at our disposal against the growing threat from North Korea," she said in a statement. "The United States seeks only the peaceful denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. Our commitment to the defense of our allies, the Republic of Korea and Japan, in the face of these threats, remains ironclad." Since he entered the White House, Trump has talked about confronting Pyongyang and pushing China to increase pressure on the North, but neither strategy has produced fast results. The White House has been threatening to move forward on its own, though administration officials have not settled on next steps. See North Korea, Page 5
Hello Ward 3, and the rest of Westfield. First of all, I everyone had a great 4th of July. And, a reminder just in case; the flag you see flying from my door is the 1st flag of the American Revolution, the 1st flag of an Independent Massachusetts, and used by New England 3 years before Betsy Ross’s version. While it is called the Bunker Hill Flag, purists know it is the Breeds Hill Flag flown there is 1774. Next, Ward 3, particularly Jefferson St. folks I want to thank Dave Billips and his team for filling the pot holes on Jefferson St., especially that crevasse on upper Jefferson. I know how busy they are; they could really more people in their budget, hint, hint. He does so much to save money and time getting things done good deeds should be rewarded. Next, thanks go to Secretary of State Bill Galvin for refusing, as have so many governors, to give the Fed our private voter information. They talk about being opposed to big brother government, and then become Big Brother. Especially to use the myth and lie of millions of illegal votes cast, and 1,000’s from Mass. going to New Hampshire to vote for Clinton….Please exaggerations are to be expected from politicians, but this undermines our most important American institution. Is it not bad enough that the Soviets are trying to undermine our Democracy, should we help them in their mission? This is conquest on the cheap; no war just undermine the institutions, and their credibility, and let the nation collapse on its own. While on this trend, big thanks to Governor Baker for standing up for Health Care in Mass. As the Congressional Budget Office, an independent and trusted agency lets us know how many seniors and poor would be hurt. And, how much Mass. taxpayers would have to come up with the defunding. Heaven forbid billionaires would not get a tax cut, even though they
owe their ability to succeed on us the American People who work, defend, and keep our nations communities stable for them to make their billions. Federalist founder Alexander Hamilton, in the Federalist papers wrote something to that effect, with the wealthiest should pay the most due to the benefits they get. And, leave the lower income less taxed so as to grow their business interests. OK, that’s it for now… Brian Hoose, your former Ward 3 City Councilor. brhoose@comcast.com.
‘No specific agenda,’ but Trump, Putin have lots to discuss By JOSH LEDERMAN and MATTHEW LEE Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's first face-to-face meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday will be brimming with global intrigue, but the White House says there's "no specific agenda." So in the absence of a set list of topics, what are two of the world's most famously unpredictable leaders to discuss? Trump, who prefers to have neatly packaged achievements to pair with high-profile meetings, may be looking for some concessions from Russia to show he's delivering progress and helping restore a productive relationship between the two powers. Putin would almost surely want something in return, and there's a long list of "irritants" between the two countries that they could potentially resolve. Ahead of the bilateral meeting, White House National Security Council and State Department officials have been reviewing possible gestures the U.S. could offer Russia as part of the meeting, a current and a former administration official said. They weren't authorized to comment publicly and requested anonymity. Yet any outward sign of bonhomie between Trump and Putin would be immediately seized upon by the president's critics and Russia hawks eager to show he's cozying up to the Russian leader. The ongoing investigations into Russia's interference in the U.S. election and potential Trump campaign collusion won't be far from anyone's minds. The two leaders will sit down in Hamburg, Germany, on the sidelines of a Group of 20 summit of leading rich and developing nations. Ahead of the meeting, Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak met Monday in Washington with the No. 3 U.S. diplomat, Thomas Shannon, to prepare. A look at what Trump and Putin could address: ELECTION HACKING Trump has been reluctant to publicly and directly acknowledge Russia's role in meddling in the U.S. election, out of apparent concern it undermines the legitimacy of his win. He's also insisted there was no collusion with him or his campaign, a conclusion that U.S. investigators have not yet reached. U.S. officials says Russia tried to hack election systems in 21 states and to sway the election for Trump, a level of interference in the U.S. political system that security experts say represents a top-level threat that should command a forceful response from the U.S. Putin has denied all this. There are no indications Trump plans to raise Russia's meddling at the meeting. Yet if he doesn't, it will give fuel to Trump's critics who say he's blatantly ignoring a major national security threat. It could also embolden those who say Trump is trying to cover for the Russians after benefiting from their interference. IRRITANTS Each side has a long list of complaints about the other that do not rise to the geopolitical level but are nonetheless impeding broader attempts to coordinate or cooperate on larger concerns. After meeting in Moscow earlier this year, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov agreed to set up a mechanism to deal with these issues the Russians describe as "irritants" and the Americans call "the smalls." But even that effort has stalled. After the Treasury last month imposed new sanctions on Russia for its intervention in Ukraine, Moscow called off a scheduled second meeting between Thomas Shannon, the U.S. undersecretary of state for political affairs, and Sergey Ryabkov, a Russian deputy foreign minister. Shannon and Ryabkov's canceled June 23 meeting in St. Petersburg has yet to be rescheduled. It was not clear if either Trump or Putin would seek to reopen the channel when they see each other in Hamburg, although Tillerson and other State Department officials have taken pains to stress that they remain open to a resumption of the talks. RUSSIA'S WISH LIST Russia has been especially vocal about its chief demand: the return of two properties it owns in the U.S. that were seized by the Obama administration as punishment for Russian meddling in the 2016 election. The recreational compounds are located in Oyster Bay, New York, on Long Island, and along the Corsica River in the Eastern Shore region of Maryland On Monday, Putin's foreign affairs adviser, Yuri Ushakov, said Russia had been remarkably restrained by declining to retaliate but that its patience was running out. If the U.S. doesn't soon give back the compounds, also known as dachas, Moscow will have no choice but to retaliate, Ushakov said.
Another Russian demand is to ease surveillance of its diplomats in the U.S. US DEMANDS The U.S. has its own list, topped by a resumption of adoptions of Russian children by American parents which Russia banned in late 2012, an end to what it says is intensifying harassment of U.S. diplomats and other officials in Russia and a resolution to a dispute over a piece of land in St. Petersburg that was meant to be the site of a new U.S. consulate in Russia's second-largest city. The U.S. also wants expanded cultural and exchange programs between the two countries. Such programs were vastly curtailed or ended after Putin's 2012 return to the Kremlin in an election he accused Washington of interfering in. Tillerson has made the adoption issue a priority, according to aides, although it remains unclear if he has succeeded in convincing the Russians to even consider revisiting the ban. The property dispute in St. Petersburg dates to 2014 when Russia blocked the U.S. from developing the site after the Obama administration hit Russia with sanctions because of it's annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region. Officials say the U.S. won't simply swap the Russian compounds for the St. Petersburg consulate. Action on the other demands is also required, they say. UKRAINE SANCTIONS Moscow has long sought an easing of economic sanctions the U.S. slapped on Russia over its actions in eastern Ukraine and annexation of Crimea, which the U.S. does not recognize. Though there were indications that Trump's aides entertained easing the sanctions in the run-up to the inauguration and early days of his presidency, his administration has repeatedly insisted that they will stay in place until Russia pulls out of Crimea and lives up to its commitments under a cease-fire deal for eastern Ukraine that has never been fully implemented. Given that Russia has taken neither of those steps, easing sanctions would require a major reversal by Trump and would infuriate Russia hawks in both parties in the U.S. In fact, Congress has been pushing to increase sanctions on Russia and make them harder for Trump to lift. The Senate has passed the popular measure, which won't go to a House vote before Trump's meeting with Putin. SYRIA Eager to bolster his global legitimacy, Putin has been pressing the U.S. to cooperate militarily with Russia in Syria, where both Moscow and Washington oppose the Islamic State group but disagree about Syrian President Bashar Assad. Though defense laws passed in the wake of the Ukraine crisis bar the U.S. military from cooperating with Russia, the two have maintained a "deconfliction" hotline to ensure their forces don't accidentally collide on the crowded Syrian battlefield. The Pentagon has steadfastly resisted proposals to work closely with Russia in Syria, out of concern the U.S. can't trust Moscow with sensitive intelligence information. But the problems posed by the lack of coordination in Syria have resurfaced following recent events. The U.S. has recently shot down several pro-Syrian government aircraft, leading Russia, an ally of the Syrian government, to threaten to shoot down any aircraft that flies west of the Euphrates River.

Noth Korea
Continued from Page 4 Patrick Cronin, an Asia expert with the Center for a New American Security, said Trump was probably "coming to the point of no return" with North Korea, adding that the upshot could be diplomatic overtures or military action. "We either go to the diplomatic table with Kim Jong Un or we do take some course of action," Cronin said. "In all probability we do both." Trump spoke with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Monday, discussing North Korea and its nuclear program with both leaders. He will meet them both this week at the Group of 20 meeting in Germany, as well as have his first meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump and Xi emerged from their first meeting — in April at the U.S. president's Florida estate — seemingly as fast friends. But China has long resisted intensifying economic pressure on neighboring North Korea, in part out of fear of the instability that could mount on its doorstep, and Trump has not found a way to break through Beijing's old habits.

W. Lee Krieg WESTFIELD – W. Lee Krieg, of Westfield, MA departed this life on June 30, 2017 after a lengthy illness. He passed peacefully, at his home, surrounded by his devoted family. Lee was born in St. Marys, PA on July 22, 1943 to Dorothy (Pistner) and Walter E. Krieg. After moving to Hamden, Connecticut with his family, Lee graduated from Hamden High School and the University of Connecticut with a degree in Industrial Engineering. After college, he served in the United States Army, including a tour in Vietnam. After discharge, he worked at Dresser Industries as well as Warner Packaging before relocating to Westfield in 1980. He worked for a number of years at the former Boxmakers and, most recently, was employed as Operations Manager for Day Lumber. Lee is survived by his wife of 48 years, Susan Hornell Krieg, along with his son, Michael and his wife, Tonya, his daughter Caroline, and his son Thomas and his wife, Krystalee. He also leaves five well-loved grandsons: Jagger, Matthew, Jace, Jack and Greysen. He is also survived by three brothers, Robert and his wife, Marilyn, James and his wife, Marie, and Karl and his wife, Lynn. He is also survived by one sister, Barbara, and one nephew. There are no calling hours. A memorial service honoring Lee’s life will be held at St. Mary Church, 30 Bartlett Street, Westfield, on Friday, July 7th at 10:30 am. The family requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations be given to St. Mary’s Parish School, 27 Bartlett Street, Westfield, MA 01085.
Richard L. (Dick) Kelso WYBEN – Richard L. (Dick) Kelso, 80, (1937-2017) passed away from ALS on June 30, 2017 at Governor’s Center surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Westfield to the late Richard M. and Mildred (Bartlett) Kelso. Dick was employed as a supervisor at UPS for 30 years. He retired at 50 and continued working until the age of 78 as a self-employed farrier specializing in corrective shoeing and operating his horse farm. He proudly owned Haflinger horses and traveled all around the Eastern US and Austria promoting the breed. Known for their mild mannered behavior and well-rounded abilities – the breed was a perfect match for Dick’s personality. Whether he was driving them from the seat of his surrey or working them at the farm – they embodied the same endurance, drive and passion for the work as Dick did. Along the way and throughout his journeys he made many lifelong “horse” friends and memories all around the US and Europe. Dick lived his life and raised his family in the community of Wyben and was a lifelong member of Wyben Union Church. The little horse farm with the red barn on the side of the road on your way up the mountain, is somewhat of a landmark for many who drive through the community and is Dick’s pride and joy—still home to 5 of his cherished Haflingers. Dick’s family is his greatest love. He is survived by his beloved wife of 61 years, Joann C. (Coburn) Kelso of Westfield, his loving children, Richard L. Kelso, Jr. of Westfield, Anjanette Kelso and her partner Gary of Sutton, MA, Michelle A. Dame and her husband Richard of Blandford, MA and the late Charles C. “Chip” Kelso; his cherished grandchildren, Kayla, Tanner, Kelsey, Coburn, Jaimin, Samantha, Gabrielle and Amelia and great grandchildren Maison, Layanna, Atticus, Jayce, Raelynn and Marla. He leaves behind one brother, Donald B. Kelso and his wife Cindy of Dayton Ohio and many beloved nieces and nephews. Dick was blessed to have the friendship of Joseph Kapinos for 52 years – a best friend in every sense of the word. Dick’s family is grateful and humbled by the kindness, selflessness and generosity offered by our friends and family in the community of Wyben who have been and continue to be here for our family every day. Finally, the Kelso family profoundly thanks and appreciates the amazing team at Baystate Hospice – specifically Sharon, who lovingly provided Dick and his family comfort, guidance and peace in his final days. A Funeral Service for Dick will be held on Saturday, July 8, 2017 at 10AM in the Wyben Union Church, 678 Montgomery Rd., Westfield, MA 01085, followed by burial in Middle Farms Cemetery, Russellville Rd., Westfield, MA. Visiting hours will be held on Friday July 7th from 4-7 PM in the Firtion Adams FS, 76 Broad St., Westfield, MA 01085. Donations in Dick’s name may be directed to the Wyben Union Church, 678 Montgomery Rd., Westfield, MA 01085 or to The ALS Association, Gift Processing Center, P.O. Box 37022, Boone, IA 500370022. www.firtionadams.com

When it comes to 21st century multimedia platforms, “hyper local” is a term you hear a lot. It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newspapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore. But, day in and day out, The Westfield News provides consistant coverage of the stories you need to know about, that are important to your city, town, neighborhood and home.

Talks to resume as lawmakers seek compromise on pot bill BOSTON (AP) — House and Senate negotiators on Beacon hill are planning to resume talks they hope will lead to a compromise on a marijuana bill. The six-member conference committee missed last Friday's self-imposed deadline, but was scheduled to resume talks at the Statehouse on Wednesday. The negotiations are taking place behind closed doors and there has been no official word on what might be standing in the way of an agreement. The House voted to repeal the recreational marijuana law approved by Massachusetts voters last fall and replace it with a bill that calls for sharply higher taxes on legal pot sales and more control for local officials over marijuana stores in their communities. The Senate passed a bill that keeps the current law with a number of proposed changes.

Westfield Post 124 drops third straight Longmeadow 7, Westfield 4 BULLENS FIELD, WESTFIELD – In its previous game, a 6-4 loss to Greenfield Post 81 on Saturday, Westfield Post 124 struggled to get men on base, managing only a single base runner over the final four innings. On Monday against Longmeadow, Post 124 put runners on base in every inning. This time, they struggled to score those runners. Westfield (11-5) left nine runners on base – seven of them in scoring position – and paid the price for its absence of timely hitting, losing for a seasonhigh third straight time, 7-4. The game went back-and-forth early. Westfield scored in the top of the first when Jacob Colapietro was hit by a pitch and eventually scored on a throwing error. Longmeadow came back with two in the next half inning off starter Stefan Krol. Colapietro saved
SPORTS
additional runs from scoring when he drifted a long way from his shortstop position into shallow center to make an over-the-shoulder catch of a Max Rye blooper, then doubled off the runner at second. Westfield tied the game in the bottom of the inning when Anthony Riga scored on a long double by Brett Turbin. Turbin was stranded at third to end the inning. Longmeadow re-took the lead with a single run in the fourth, followed by Post 124 again tying the game in the bottom of the inning. Riga reached on a single to left, moved up on Adam Kearing’s single, and finally scored on Nick Clegg’s single through the shortstop hole. This time, Kearing was stranded at third. Westfield put runners on first and second in the fifth, but couldn’t move them any further. In the sixth, Clegg ended the inning standing on second.
In the seventh, more of the same. With one out Krol doubled to right-center. Jack Blake then one-hopped the fence in right-center for a double, scoring Krol. Post 124 ended its quiet comeback with two quick outs, leaving one last runner in scoring position. Longmeadow pushed across single runs in the fifth and sixth, and then added a pair in the top of the seventh for the win. Westfield next plays on Wednesday against second-place East Springfield Post 420 at Forest Park in Springfield. Post 124 will close out its regular season on Friday at 5:45 p.m. against firstplace Northampton Post 28 at Jachym Field. Story is courtesy of Westfield Post 124.

Dear Annie By ANNIE LANE
Aftermath of an Attempted Sexual Assault Dear Annie: Shortly, I will shower and prepare to spend the day with my ex-boyfriend. “Pat” is 60, and I am 67. He started drinking when he was 14 and has always been a drinker, but it didn’t interfere too much with our lives until last spring, when he started drinking heavily and stayed drunk for weeks. It was about a month into his bender when I invited my grown daughter “Elizabeth” to stay while her apartment was being fumigated. That night, Pat went downstairs to the sofa and attempted to sexually assault her. She left screaming. I was in shock. An hour later, my other daughter, “Samantha,” called and told me to leave and get to her house, that I should not stay with Pat. By the time I got to Samantha’s house, the police were there to interview Elizabeth. She had called them. (I did not have any say in this, but I was OK with it.) They arrested Pat that night. The next morning, Pat called to ask me to bail him out. I said no. I started moving my stuff out, and I moved in with my daughter. Now comes the hard part. He wants me to be his support while he recovers from all his years of drinking. He does not have any friends. I don’t have any friends anymore, either. My girls have told me not to see him or talk to him. They have made very clear that if I do, I won’t be part of this family. But I feel so bad for him. Is there a way to open dialogue with my daughters so I can do this? I will not return to him as his girlfriend. I will not move back to that house or spend a night there. I am seeing a counselor, and so is he. Should I try, or should I walk away for good? -- “Margaret” Dear Margaret: If you’ve written to me looking for the answer your counselor won’t give you, I’ll have to disappoint you. You must run, not walk, away from this man and into the arms of your loving daughters. It sounds as if those two can offer the clearheaded perspective you so badly need right now. Do not alienate them by spending more time with the man who attempted to assault Elizabeth. What he did is unforgivable. Your desire to rescue him, your belief that you’re responsible for his happiness -- these are classic traits of people who live with alcoholics. Please seriously consider attending an Al-Anon meeting. You can find one in your area by visiting http://www.al-anon.org. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators. com.

HINTS FROM HELOISE TO TATTOO OR NOT TO TATTOO? Dear Heloise: My 16-year-old son is bugging me about getting a tattoo. I don’t care for tattoos, but I don’t know what to say except “No.” Are there any dangers to tattooing? How do I get him to reconsider a mark like that, which will be with him for many years? -- Linda K., Upland, Calif. Linda, tell your son to think before he inks. Tattoos can and have killed job opportunities for many people. There are some serious issues to consider: * Infections: Dirty needles can pass infections from one person to another. * Allergies: Allergies to various inks can occur. * Scarring: Unwanted scar tissue may cause scarring when getting or removing a tattoo. * Granulomas: These are small knots or lumps that form around material that the body perceives as foreign, such as tattoo pigment. * You may not like the results: There are tattoo artists whose work is not professional. Skill varies from one artist to another. There is no way to be certain that the ink used is safe. -- Heloise ADOPT A BEST FRIEND Dear Heloise: Do any of your readers need a best friend? Adopt a pet at any local shelter or animal-rescue organization. So many irresponsible people don’t spay or neuter their pets, and that produces too many unwanted pets. A pet is a wonderful companion, and the health benefits of having a pet are well-documented. So, you can adopt a best friend at any local shelter. -- Glenda T., Frankfort, Ky. Glenda, I agree. A pet is a wonderful comfort and companion. I’ve adopted many animals and have loved each of them. A pet also can teach children compassion and responsibility. -- Heloise (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

Joey Chestnut wins 10th title, gobbles a record 72 hot dogs By MAYLAN L. STUDART Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — Joey "Jaws" Chestnut gulped, chomped and powered his way to a 10th title on Tuesday, continuing his record-setting reign as the chowing champion at the annual Nathan's Famous July Fourth hot dog eating contest. Shoving water-soaked buns and wriggling franks into his mouth on a hot, sunny day on the Coney Island boardwalk, he downed 72 dogs and buns in 10 minutes to beat his own record and hoist the Mustard Belt for a 10th time. The San Jose, California, man bested up-and-comer Carmen Cincotti, of Mays Landing, New Jersey, who ate 60 franks and buns on his 24th birthday. Miki Sudo notched a fourth straight win in the women's competition. The Las Vegas woman ate 41 hot dogs and buns to beat Michelle Lesco of Tucson, Arizona, who downed 32 franks and buns. During the men's competition, five people were taken into custody for trying to disrupt the event, police said. The people appeared to be attempting to unfold a black banner before police stopped them and took them away. They were taken to a precinct where they were questioned and released, police said. The demonstrators later issued a statement saying they were from a group called Direct Action Everywhere, and want Nathan's to stop holding the contest. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals members separately had been giving away free vegan hot dogs outside the event, but spokeswoman Tricia Lebkuecher said the people
arrested inside weren't affiliated with PETA. Chestnut has dominated the chowdown throwdown for years, eating 70 franks and buns last year to top his thenrecord and take back the title from Matt "The Megatoad" Stonie. The 25-year-old Stonie came in third on Tuesday, with 48 franks and buns. "There's no secret, I love to eat, and I love doing it, I love to win, so I had to figure out my body and push it to the limit," a sweating Chestnut said after his win. The 33-year-old said he'd hoped to down even more dogs but was leaving feeling good. Cincotti said he'd eaten a thousand hot dogs since May in preparation for his second try at the Mustard Belt. Getting to even second place is "surreal — I grew up watching this contest," he said. Meanwhile, the women's side has featured a yearslong rivalry between Sudo and record-holder Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas, of Alexandria, Virginia. Thomas, who's 50, came in third on Tuesday with 30 dogs and buns, well shy of her record 45. Sudo told ESPN she "just came back better than ever" this year. She's 31; Lesco is 33. One of America's most outlandish July Fourth traditions, the contest dates to 1972, though the company has for years promoted what a former president acknowledged was a legendary start date of 1916. Leigh Brown and her husband brought her 11-year-old sons, Carter and Corbyn, all the way from Florida to see it. ''They really wanted to come. They always watched it on TV, so it's pretty special for them," Brown said.
Judge dents metal casement above door at Yankee Stadium NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Judge dented a metal casement above a door behind the left-center field wall at Yankee Stadium with his major leagueleading 28th home run of the season. The New York rookie drove a pitch from Toronto’s J.A. Happ in the fourth inning for a solo homer Tuesday. The ball would have traveled 456 feet had it landed unimpeded, according to MLB’s Statcast. It was the fourthhardest-hit homer of the season, at 118.4 mph, according to MLB. Judge has the hardest at 121.1 and three of the top four. Elected to the AL’s starting lineup for the All-Star Game next week, Judge is one shy of the Yankees’ rookie record for home runs in an entire season, set by Joe DiMaggio in 1939. During batting practice before a May 2 game against the Blue Jays, Judge hit a shot to center field that smashed a TV in one of Yankee Stadium’s new social gathering areas beyond the bullpens and Monument Park.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH Whoever or whatever baffled or bored you yesterday could prove to be your muse today, which adds to your creativity. Brainstorm away. Encourage others to play devil’s advocate. Your imagination draws on your experience. Tonight: Let a loved one express his or her caring. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH One-on-one relating will delight you; however, it also might slow you down when it comes to dealing with a domestic matter. You’ll want to get some feedback. A friend or associate has an odd way of showing his or her support. Tonight: Run some errands on the way home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Keep reaching out to others. Someone close to you might be too chatty in your opinion. You’ll try to settle him or her down in order to complete certain projects. An older relative or higher-up has an unusual approach to a difficult situation. Tonight: Get together with a pal. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You are a whirlwind of energy. A conversation about funds needs to happen, whether you are speaking to a boss or planning a vacation. Imagine what you want, and live up to your expectations. A discussion allows greater understanding. Tonight: Follow your instincts. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Your enthusiasm is hard to sit on. Your creativity adds extra pizzazz to whatever you do, but it might make a project more time-consuming. Weigh the pros and cons of producing a higherquality product and having less free time. Tonight: Don’t justify taking a break. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Note the possibility of a discrepancy between what you say and what you are thinking. If there is a way to merge the two, do that. Otherwise, others might get confused. Listen to news from an associate carefully. Avoid a knee-jerk reaction. Tonight: Read between the lines. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Manage your schedule with an eye to effectiveness, and see what works best for the majority. You could be surprised by what you are hearing. Be nurturing and help others become more enthusiastic about an idea. Tonight: Head out the door and drop by your favorite spot. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You could be overwhelmed by everything you need to handle. Your sense of humor takes over at a certain point, and the task at hand becomes a lot easier. Make an important call, perhaps to an expert or confidant; you need solid facts. Tonight: Do some shopping on the way home. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH You might feel as if you are playing the lead role in an action movie. You’ll tackle nearly any project, conversation or interaction with ease and skill. You could have a desire to go off on an adventure, but you’ll want to get as much done as possible first. Tonight: Take a walk. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Take a break from the hectic pace you have been keeping. If an associate, partner or loved one expresses a desire to pitch in or take the lead, let him or her. Allowing this experience will be good for both of you. Be more present in a discussion. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Take a risk and move forward. You need to handle a personal matter as directly as possible. A meeting or discussion with a friend is likely to point you in a new, more successful direction. Follow this person’s lead, and you’ll be a lot happier. Tonight: As you like it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Others look to you to take the lead. If you want to take the reins, do. Your initial reaction will provide a good barometer for assessing what you should do and why. Know that you are in the unique position of following through on an important wish. Tonight: Count on a late night. BORN TODAY Singer/songwriter Huey Lewis (1950), actress Edie Falco (1963), singer/songwriter Joseph Lewis Thomas (1973)
