Parents of North Middle School students receive robocall after allegations against school employee By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—Parents and guardians of North Middle School students received a robocall Friday notifying them that their children are safe. According to Westfield Schools Superintendent Stefan Czaporowski, the call was in relation to an allegation made about a Westfield Schools employee and was to notify parents and guardians that North Middle School children were safe and said to not be involved. According to Czaporowski, he was contacted by Westfield Police regarding the allegation. “We received an allegation of an employee,” Czaporowski said. “The employee is not in the school and the allegations are not
against any of the students and that’s why we said that all the students are safe.” Czaporowski said that the department removed the person from the building following this and followed procedures and protocols.
However, when asked about the allegations, Czaporowski said that he “can’t comment further than that,” citing issues of privacy and said that this is currently a personnel matter that is being investigated by the department. “While the investigation goes on they are on leave,” Czaporowski added. Early Friday morning, The Westfield News received an email with a link to a 20-minute video from POP Squad, a Connecticut-based group, that allegedly showed an employee reportedly from the Westfield School Department being confronted at a retail establishment in Connecticut about some questionable actions. The nature of the video’s content is currently being verified for authenticity but the receipt of it has school officials investigating

Cheer teams will be in the spotlight at WHS By LORI SZEPELAK Correspondent WESTFIELD-Westfield Youth Football’s Cheer Teams are in the final weeks of practicing for their day in the spotlight – the Western Mass. Cheer Exposition – at Westfield High School on Oct. 21. During Westfield Day at the Big E this week, the three squads – Pee Wee, Junior and Senior – had an opportunity to practice some routines as they marched in front of the football players. “It was an amazing display of our cheerleaders,” said Michelle Coach, director of cheer. Coach explained that the city was chosen to host this fall’s exhibition because of the spirit from both the cheerleaders and the families in the stands that was exhibited at last year’s exhibition in West Springfield. “West Side selected Westfield because of our spirit, energy, and teamwork,” said Coach, noting two awards were presented at the event – the spirit stick and mega See Cheer Teams, Page 7
the matter. According to Westfield Police Capt. Michael McCabe, “the problem has been addressed internally by the school.” When asked about the next step for the Westfield Police Department, McCabe said that “we are waiting for the response from our sister department in Connecticut.” According to Southington Police Lt. Steve Elliott, an investigation is underway within their department and that the department did receive information pertaining to the POP Squad video. “Very early in the investigation and not sure if we have anything criminal yet,” Elliott said. However, Elliott did not identify who was being investigated or details of the investigation.

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—The Westfield Spanish-American Association is gathering donations for relief efforts following the devastation of Puerto Rico from Hurricane Maria. The Westfield SpanishAmerican Association (WSAA) will be seeking donations at area Westfield Bank locations, the Westfield Boys and Girls Club, Westfield YMCA and the Westfield Schools superintendent’s office, which will go toward helping the US territory. While donations of some items are being taken, WSAA is looking for chiefly financial donations at these locations because the money could help to get the island’s economy back on track, according to WSAA co-founder Eddie Diaz. “The main thing is looking for financial donations because they’re easier to get down there and it helps the local and regional economy down there,” Eddie Diaz said. “Does us no good if we’re buying all this stuff. You’re going to deprive all the stores and businesses that need to get back on their feet,” he said. Westfield Bank, who is working with the efforts by collecting donations at their 21 branches, said that in addition to the money they collect they will be matching that amount and donating it to the effort. All employees who donate will also be allowed to “dress-down” at the banks, and customers will also be encouraged to donate. For Liz Diaz, Eddie’s wife and payroll administrator for Westfield Bank, as well as Eddie Diaz, the efforts include helping family. “For me, I grew up there, I have family there,” See Relief, Page 7

TREMONT, Maine (AP) — Maine firefighters say they had to rescue a New York couple who took a wrong turn and mistakenly drove into the Atlantic Ocean. WMTW-TV reports firefighters were called to the docks in Tremont around 8 p.m. Tuesday after there were reports of two people trapped in a car in the water. Officials say the couple’s SUV was in 8-to-10 feet (2.4 to 3.1 meters) of water after they traveled down a boat ramp into the water. A video shows extremely foggy conditions in the area of the dock. Rescuers were able to pull the couple onto a skiff, and then pulled the SUV back to shore. An ambulance crew evaluated the couple.
German court tells donkey owners to pony up for damaged car BERLIN (AP) — A German court has ordered a donkey's owners to pony up 5,800 euros ($6,800) to the driver of a pricey McLaren sports car to cover damage caused when the animal chomped the backside of the vehicle. Police said that Vitus the donkey may have mistaken the orange McLaren parked next to his enclosure as a giant carrot when he bit the back, damaging the paint and a carbon-fiber piece. The dpa news agency reported that the state court in Giessen on Thursday sided with the car owner, who filed the suit after the donkey owner refused reimbursement for the incident last September. At the time, Local media reported the owner of the donkey refused to pay for the damage, telling the McLaren owner he should have picked a better parking place.

Gov. Baker: National Guard unit heading to Puerto Rico BOSTON (AP) — Republican Gov. Charlie Baker announced Friday that Massachusetts will be sending a sixperson National Guard communications unit to Puerto Rico for up to 30 days. Baker said Puerto Rico had accepted the offer for the unit to help support satellite-based data and mobile communications on the hurricane-ravaged island, where communication lines have been severely damaged. Baker said Massachusetts stands "ready and willing to offer additional support to Puerto Rico with personnel and equipment as requested and is preparing to welcome disaster survivors seeking temporary or permanent residence in Massachusetts."
Baker said the request for assistance from Puerto Rico came through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact — the national emergency management mutual aid system that streamlines state-to-state disaster assistance. The governor said Massachusetts will remain in contact with Puerto Rico officials and federal authorities throughout the response and recovery effort. The decision to send the unit followed an announcement earlier Friday by Baker and Democratic Boston Mayor Marty Walsh of a new Massachusetts fund for hurricane victims in Puerto Rico. Baker said The Massachusetts United
for Puerto Rico Fund will distribute money that it raises to help reconstruction and relief in Puerto Rico and to aid those from the island seeking temporary or permanent residence in Massachusetts. Baker said Friday that Massachusetts is home to one of the largest communities of Puerto Rican Americans in the country. Democratic state Rep. Jeffrey Sánchez of Boston, who has family members in Puerto Rico, will serve as the honorary vice chairman of the fund's advisory committee. The fund will work to collect donations from foundations, corporations and individual donors.

Massachusetts Senate Democrats back sweeping crime bill BOSTON (AP) — A legislative committee has released a sweeping criminal justice bill that would eliminate mandatory minimum sentences for some drug offenses while increasing penalties for others. The wide-ranging measure outlined Friday has the backing of top Senate Democrats, who say it will offer alternatives to incarceration for some while helping former convicts avoid returning to prison for new crimes. The bill also calls for reforms to Massachusetts' bail system;
a reduction in court fees charged to low-income defendants; and changes in solitary confinement procedures in state prisons. Democratic Judiciary Committee co-chair Sen. William Brownsberger says the bill is "about lifting people up instead of locking them up." The proposal would end mandatory minimum sentences for dealing small amounts of certain drugs, but would impose new penalties for trafficking in heroin and fentanyl.

Trump’s health secretary resigns in travel flap By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR and JONATHAN LEMIRE Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's health secretary resigned Friday, after his costly travel triggered investigations that overshadowed the administration's agenda and angered his boss. Tom Price's regrets and partial repayment couldn't save his job. The Health and Human Services secretary became the first member of the president's Cabinet to be pushed out in a turbulent young administration that has seen several high-ranking White House aides ousted. A former GOP congressman from the Atlanta suburbs, Price served less than eight months. Publicly, Trump had said he was "not happy" with Price for repeatedly using private charter aircraft for official trips on the taxpayer's dime, when cheaper commercial flights would have done in many cases. Privately, Trump has been telling associates in recent days that his health chief had become a distraction. Trump felt that Price was overshadowing his tax overhaul agenda and undermining his campaign promise to "drain the swamp" of corruption, according to three people familiar with the discussions who spoke on condition of anonymity. On Friday the president called Price a "very fine person," but added, "I certainly don't like the optics." Price said in his resignation letter that he regretted that "recent events have created a distraction." The flap prompted scrutiny of other Cabinet members' travel, as the House Oversight and Government Reform committee launched a governmentwide investigation of top political appointees. Other department heads have been scrambling to explain their own travel. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke faced scrutiny over three charter flights while in office, including a $12,375 late-night trip from Las Vegas to his home state of Montana in June. On Friday, he dismissed the controversy over charter flights as "a little BS over travel," but he said taxpayers do have the right to know official travel costs. Price's repayment of $51,887.31 for his own travel costs did not placate the White House. The total travel cost, including the secretary's entourage, was unclear. It could amount to several hundred thousand dollars. Following Price's resignation, White House budget director Mick Mulvaney informed Cabinet secretaries and agency heads in a memo that approval from chief of staff John Kelly will be required for any travel on government-owned, rented, leased or chartered aircraft. An orthopedic surgeon turned politician, Price rose to Budget Committee chairman in the House, where he was known as a fiscal conservative. When Price joined the administration, Trump touted him as a conservative policy expert who could write a new health care bill to replace the Obamaera Affordable Care Act. But Price became more of a supporting player in the GOP's futile health care campaign, while Vice President Mike Pence took the lead, particularly with the Senate. The perception of Price jetting around while GOP lawmakers labored to repeal "Obamacare" —including a three-nation trip in May to Africa and Europe— raised eyebrows on Capitol Hill. Price flew on military aircraft overseas. Although much of Trump's ire over the health care failure has been aimed at the Republican-controlled Congress, associates of the president said he also assigns some blame to Price, who he believes did not do a good job of selling the GOP plan. But House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said Friday that Price had worked hard to help that chamber pass its plan before the GOP effort reached an impasse in the Senate. "I will always be grateful for Tom's service to this country," he said. Democrats were glad to see Price go. Some urged Trump to appoint an HHS secretary who would reach out to them.

Health care defeat leaves GOP in crouch, Dems on offense By ALAN FRAM Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans face a big problem following the collapse of their latest push to repeal the Obama health care law: Their own voters are angry and don't trust them. Right now, they don't know what to do about it. That's trouble for a party preparing to defend its House and Senate majorities in 2018 midterm elections that look riskier than most imagined months ago. President Donald Trump and top congressional Republicans say they'll take another run next year at dismantling President Barack Obama's health care law. But they've made doing just that a core promise in four consecutive national elections with nothing to show for it. "If I'm a voter in wherever and somebody says, 'We're going to come back to health care,' would I be skeptical? Sure," said Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., who's retiring rather than seek a third term next year. He added, "When something has been committed to and it doesn't happen and then it doesn't happen again, I think it's self-evident it isn't a good thing." This year's failure was especially stinging because it was the first time since Obama's 2010 overhaul law was enacted that they've controlled the White House and Congress. The latest debacle came Tuesday, when Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., averted a guaranteed defeat by not holding a vote on a last-resort bill transforming much of Obama's law into block grants that states would control. The setbacks are causing strains among Senate Republicans. "It's obvious we don't have the kind of leadership we need to pass this piece of legislation," Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., told a reporter Friday after an appearance in Fitchburg, Wisconsin. Johnson, who's clashed with McConnell before, declined to say if the leader should step down. The broken promises are an "epic fail" that "puts less trust in the minds of conservative voters," said Tim Phillips, president of Americans for Prosperity, the conservative group backed by the activist brothers David and Charles Koch. The GOP health care implosion "has poisoned the attitude of GOP primary voters toward congressional Republicans in general," Steven Law wrote in a memo this week. Law, McConnell's former chief of staff, heads the Senate Leadership Fund, a political group allied with the Kentucky Republican. Law's memo was released Tuesday, hours before the GOP primary defeat of Sen. Luther Strange, R-Ala., by conservative lightning rod Roy Moore. Establishment Republicans including McConnell backed Strange, as did Trump. Law warned that the ouster of Strange would make him "the first casualty — and probably not the last — of the Obamacare
repeal fiasco." In an ABC News-Washington Post poll this week, more Republicans disapproved than approved of the job the congressional GOP is doing by a dismal 21 percentage points. That's the fourth-worst showing since 1994. Just eight Senate Republicans face re-election in 2018, and only two have seemed to face serious GOP primary challenges: Sens. Jeff Flake of Arizona and Nevada's Dean Heller. But fed by Republican voters' anti-establishment mood and disillusionment over the party's health care failures, that number could grow. Conservative Mississippi state legislator Chris McDaniel called Moore's victory "incredibly inspiring" and could challenge GOP Sen. Roger Wicker. Steve Bannon, the former Trump White House adviser, is a bitter McConnell critic who might encourage conservatives to contest other GOP incumbents. Democrats and their independent allies must defend 25 Senate seats next year, far more than the GOP's eight, making a Democratic majority improbable. Democrats would need to gain 24 seats to take over the House, a reach. But they see this year's GOP health care bills — which budget analysts said would have stripped coverage from millions of Americans — as feeding their narrative that Republicans are eroding people's economic security. If Republicans revisit health care next year, it would "reawaken the public giant," said Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., who heads Senate Democrats' campaign committee. Polls showed public opinion favors retaining Obama's law. Hoping to right themselves, Republicans are focusing on cutting taxes in search of their first significant legislative win this year. Success is far from guaranteed, but many say a tax victory would smooth the political waters. But some Republicans say attacking Obama's law again remains mandatory. "Is it damaging? Without a doubt," Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., head of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, said of the party's repeal failure. "And if we just leave it there, then it's more problematic." Trump has advocated ramming a repeal measure through with GOP votes and bargaining with Democrats, two difficult and mutually exclusive paths. Either way, why they might suddenly succeed during the 2018 election year after a seven-year parade of failure on the issue remains unclear. Some Republicans back an uphill effort by Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., to compromise with Democrats and approve subsidies to insurers to curb growing premiums. Others like No. 2 Senate GOP leader John Cornyn of Texas call that a "bailout" for that industry.
Government regulators remove AIG from tougher oversight By MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — A panel of federal regulators has voted to remove insurance giant American International Group from the tougher government oversight that had been imposed on the company in the wake of its near collapse in 2008. The Financial Stability Oversight Council said late Friday it had voted 6-3 to rescind the designation that AIG could pose a threat to the U.S. financial system if it faced financial distress in the future. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen both supported the move. The decision represents one of the most high-profile examples of the push by the Trump administration to dismantle what it sees as unnecessary regulatory burdens erected following the 2008 financial crisis. AIG's near collapse led to the largest government bailout of the crisis. The company received $182 billlion in the form of both loans and federal guarantees, support that it was able eventually to pay back. At the height of the crisis, AIG became a symbol for excessive Wall Street risk-taking and a touchstone for public anger. It was criticized at the time by members of Congress for providing millions of dollars in bonuses to executives even as the company was being propped up by government support.
Mnuchin, who chairs the council, said its decision "demonstrates our commitment to act decisively to remove any designation if a company does not pose a threat to financial stability." While Mnuchin, Yellen and four other council members supported the decision, it was opposed Richard Cordray, director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Martin J. Gruenberg, chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., and Melvin Watt, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Under the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act, which toughened financial regulations in an effort to avoid a repeat of the 2008 crisis, the oversight panel had the power to designate non-bank institutions such as AIG as systemically important financial institutions, meaning that their failure could pose a risk to the entire financial system. The designation subjected non-banks such as AIG to the same types of tighter regulations that had been imposed on the nation's biggest banks by the Dodd-Frank Act. AIG President Brian Duperreault praised the council's action, saying it recognized moves the company has taken to lower risks. "The company is committed to continued vigilant risk management and to working closely with our numerous regulators to enable a strong AIG to continue to serve our clients," he said in a statement. New York-based AIG is now about half the size it was when it nearly collapsed during the financial crisis.

phone. The megaphone is associated with hosting and spirit, while the spirit stick is presented to the energizing and supporting team. Each cheerleader is given a medal for participation. “I will never forget the sound that occurred when our Westfield cheerleaders entered the gym at West Side before the national anthem,” said Coach, who is a parent of one of the junior cheerleaders, helps coach the junior team, and is the exposition coordinator. “The crowd was loud, but when we entered, it was beyond words. Our children smiled from ear to ear and some were crying at the level of support. Westfield brought the energy, spirit, and love for cheer.” Melanie McNamara, director of fundraising for Westfield Youth Football, echoed those sentiments. “The hosting team picked our team as the recipient of the megaphone based on the spirit and sportsmanship of our players and families alike,” said McNamara. “Our stands were packed with families wearing team colors, some with painted faces, who were rooting on not only our team but all of the towns partici-

pating, as were the cheerleaders.” Coach said that all cheer squads – Pee Wee, Junior and Senior – will be participating in the exhibition. “The cheerleaders have been working on routines since the beginning of August,” said Coach. “It is an exciting event that will instantly have you joining Bomber nation and the Cheer nation.” Coach added that Westfield High School and Westfield State University cheerleaders will also be performing at the event. McNamara, a parent of one of the pee wee cheerleaders, said the young athletes have worked hard to prepare for the exhibition. “The routines are amazing,” said McNamara. “Supporting them will help build their confidence and keep them on the right track. Besides, Westfield Youth Football and Cheer have fans like no other. It is amazing to watch their spirit. We call them #Bombernation and we love them.” Close to 80 cheerleaders representing the city will perform cheer routines consisting of dancing, stunts, and pyramids set to music. “Each age group will perform according to
their level and the recommended rules by the American Association of Cheerleading Coaches and Administrators,” said Coach. Cheerleaders representing the city are in grades 2 through 6, while other communities may have cheerleaders beginning in kindergarten. “We have all variations occurring throughout the Western Massachusetts area, and we welcome any and all team configurations,” said Coach. For the past year, families have been involved in the planning process for the event and Coach noted that representatives from West Springfield were “amazing” with aiding in the process. “This is an all hands on deck event,” said Coach, adding her thanks to Kim Starsiak of All-Stars Dance Center in Westfield who conducted a training session for area cheer coaches to gather and discuss the exposition. “As soon as we won the megaphone, we began meeting as a cheer family,” said Coach. McNamara concurred. “The event is entirely volunteer run,” said

Liz Diaz said. “We have employees with family there. It was tragic and devastating to everybody.” Liz Diaz said that family members in Puerto Rico include her mother, an uncle and cousin, all of which were heard from and safe last time they spoke. She said that her uncle had to drive two and a half hours to reach Liz’s mother to check on her. Eddie Diaz said his family member, a cousin, said that they were okay, as well. According to Eddie Diaz, WSAA is working with Western Massachusetts United for Puerto Rico to collect donations in the area, which includes Chicopee, Holyoke, Springfield and Westfield. He said that no water or foodstuffs are being sought for donation. If items are going to be donated, then a specific list of items are desired. This list includes batteries, flashlights, water purifying tablets, soaps, disinfectants, first aid kits, tool kits and mosquito nets. The donation collection will begin on Monday, Oct. 2, and will continue through Oct. 6. If you would like to send in a donation, you can send it to WSAA at PO Box 2386, Westfield. Checks should be written out to Western Mass. Puerto Rican Hurricane Relief Fund.

McNamara. “So many of the parents will be running registration, working vendor areas, concessions and the cafeteria, as well as helping out on the floor or with the squads.” Additionally, as director of fundraising, McNamara has been working with Youth Cheer to help raise funds to pay for the event. At the end of the day, Westfield will award the megaphone to the group most deserving to host the event next year and the spirit stick will be awarded to the group that shows the most spirit. Both women encourage area residents to attend the event and wear red, black and white – the Bomber colors. At press time, the start time has not yet been determined since registrations are still coming in from neighboring cities and towns. Communities set to compete include Easthampton, Ludlow, Agawam, West Springfield, Warren and Chicopee. The admission cost is $5 per person. “The energy and the feeling in the gymnasium is above and beyond what anyone could imagine,” said Coach. “We would love the public to come.”

it a graduation requirement for freshmen to take CPR classes. Fast forward to June of this year, a Southwick High School staff member experienced sudden cardiac arrest while school was in session. The 31-year-old male was revived because of the use of an AED. Marcia Lameroux, who is the high school nurse, helped with that incident and was at the forefront of reaching out to KEVS Foundation about AED awareness and is grateful for the donation. “Their generosity has been huge,” said Lameroux. “You just don’t know when that’s going to happen.” Creating the KEVS Foundation in 2011, Susan Canning was glad to be able to give the high school two AED’S, as it’s what she advocates for on a regular basis. “It’s a game changer, it’s a life changer,”
said Canning. “It could be anybody, that’s the statistic.” Superintendent Jen Willard sees a vital benefit in the AED’S being implemented for the athletic fields. “Being that we’re such a vast campus and that our sports are down a hill and so far away from the buildings, it’s just so wonderful to be able to have one for our students when they’re on the playing field,” said Willard. While speaking to faculty and staff at the high school on Thursday afternoon, Canning did announce that KEVS Foundation has yet again worked with Massachusetts legislation where by July 2018, every high school in Massachusetts will be required to have an AED present at every school sponsored event.

Brownies ground Bombers By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer AGAWAM – Agawam’s Nick Stacey rumbled 59 yards for a touchdown to give his team a two-touchdown lead in the first half, and the Brownies held off the visiting Westfield Bombers 27-14 Friday night. In a key moment late in the first half, Westfield had four tries in the red zone, but was turned away. Bombers’ Baley Collier looked to score in the waning seconds of the half on a nice screen play up the middle on fourth down, but a questionable holding call nullified the play. Westfield pulled to within 21-14 in the third quarter, but Agawam eventually pulled away with another score. The Bombers, who fell to 0-3, will look to bounce back in their home opener Fri., Oct. 6 against Chicopee Comp at Bullens Field. Kick off is at 7 p.m. GYMNASTICS

Brad Marion tallied the final score with seven minutes remaining, receiving the ball in the back of the net and converting after the trap. “It was a great road one to finish off the month of September,” Westfield Tech coach Kyle Dulude said. “We are going to have a very special season if we can continue to play like this into November.” Westfield Tech players will participate in the Buddy Walk Saturday morning at Stanley Park. “We need to remember to stick together as a team through the good and the bad,” coach Dulude said. “It is important that we stay grounded and focus on the things we need to.”
Hurricanes silence Bombers Amherst 3, Westfield 0 Lucas Wilik scored in the 17th minute, and Amherst tallied two late scores late in the second half with Westfield pressing to tie the game.

Red Sox fail again to clinch AL East, fall to Astros 3-2 BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox are running out of chances to wrap up the AL East title. Boston once again failed to clinch the division crown, losing to the Houston Astros 3-2 Friday night as Alex Bregman homered and drove in three runs. The Red Sox magic number remained at one to close out the New York Yankees, who beat Toronto 4-0. Boston leads the Yankees by two games — both teams have two games left and they’re each assured playoff spots. After going 8-1 in their final road trip of the season, the Red Sox have slumped at home, losing two in a row and falling to 1-4 on their homestand. But Mookie Betts said no one is panicking inside the clubhouse. “It’s just go win one game,” the star outfielder said. “Nobody said it’s going to be easy. If it was easy, it wouldn’t be fun ... We just got to go win one game.” If Boston and New York wind up even, they will play a one-game tiebreaker Monday at Yankee Stadium for the division crown.

Dear Annie By ANNIE LANE
A Family With Issues Dear Annie: My father-in-law and mother-in-law died a couple of years ago, months apart from each other. When it came to settling the estate, the will stated in clear and precise terms that everything was to be divided 50-50 between my sister-in-law, “Jackie,” and my wife. We did as they requested. A few months later, Jackie contacted my wife saying she had discovered $110,000 in cash stashed away in their parents’ house. (My father-in-law had a distrust of banks, given that he grew up during the Depression, and he told me that he always kept a large amount of money handy for “financial emergencies.”) My wife was given her share of the cash, $55,000. The found money was timely because my daughter was getting married, and we had some bills of our own that needed paying. A year later, Jackie contacted my wife to say that we need to return the $55,000 because that money was “promised” to her by my in-laws for building them a house. My wife refused to return the money, not only because we don’t believe Jackie but because we can’t afford to withdraw this from our savings account. As a result, Jackie has written letters and sent text messages that are very nasty and hurtful. Her tirades are now bordering on harassment. We have asked her to stop sending text messages and to call us or meet in person instead, but she refuses. Recently, my wife reached out to Jackie with an olive branch on Jackie’s birthday, sending a nice card with a beautiful message. In return, Jackie sent back the card and enclosed in it a four-page letter that was extremely hurtful. I thought about reaching out to her husband, “Leon,” but he’s very unstable, too. Their son, who is in college but can’t drive because of previous accidents, called us crying the other day because his father is threatening suicide because he is tired of driving his son everywhere. You can’t make this stuff up. We are very concerned about Jackie’s mental health. My wife, daughter and I believe that Jackie needs counseling to get a better grip on reality. I am also concerned about my wife, who is taking all of this very hard. What should we do? -Family Feuding Dear Feuding: I’ll start with the two people you and your wife can control: you and your wife. This familial stress is negatively impacting her health, and it sounds as if it’s doing a number on yours, too. Make your own mental health a priority and consider attending some counseling. Now, I also believe that Jackie would benefit from therapy. But until she believes that herself, there’s little you can do. You might be able to get help for her husband, whether he wants it or not, however. Laws vary by state. Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (800-273-8255) for more information about the steps you can take. When a person threatens to kill himself, it’s always best to take him seriously. Try to be there as much as you can for your nephew. Maybe you could give him a ride once or twice a week. This would alleviate some of the pressure his father is evidently feeling, but more importantly, it would show your nephew that he’s not alone. It sounds as if he is bearing the brunt of his parents’ issues and could use some help. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators. com.

HINTS FROM HELOISE IT’S GREAT TO AERATE Dear Readers: Now is a good time to AERATE YOUR LAWN. This means poking small holes in the lawn, or removing small “plugs” of lawn, which will allow air, water and nutrients to get to the roots. A summer of dry, compacted soil, grass clippings and other debris can block the grass from getting fed properly. Rent an aerating machine at a home-improvement center, and split the cost with a neighbor. The aerator will create plugs in your lawn, which can be 3 inches long and 1/2 inch across. If your lawn is smaller, a hand-held device, which resembles a large fork, will cut holes into the lawn. The plug method is preferred by experts, but both are beneficial. The soil must be moist, so the day after a big rain or watering is a good time to aerate. After this process, continue regular maintenance of your lawn. By the way, using high heels is not recommended! -Heloise PET PAL Dear Readers: Iris K. sent a picture of her house rabbits, Babycakes, 12 years old, and Nico and Smokey, both 7 years old. Rabbits don’t do well in noisy environments, Iris says. Finding the right bunny is important for a family. Adopting from a shelter or rescue is recommended, because something is known about the rabbit’s personality, and it already will be fixed. Several bunny pics have come in to Heloise Central -- keep them coming, along with pics of your other furry and fabulous friends! Email Heloise(at)Heloise.com. -- Heloise

On The Tube Larry David’s bark, bite return in ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ By LYNN ELBER AP Television Writer LOS ANGELES (AP) — After too many years away from "Curb Your Enthusiasm," Larry David pronounces himself satisfied with the new season, which he said is just like previous ones, and glad he did it. That's pretty good — no, very good — on several fronts. First, it means the blunt-trauma insults that David delivered for eight seasons on the HBO comedy are undiminished, as is the show's willingness to milk any subject for laughs, from sex to ethnicity to illness. Second, he's inclined to keep the revival going, and without such a lag. "I would say leaning toward it," David said. "If there are more, it's not going to be five years. ... It's too long. I wouldn't want people to wait that long." And third — but who needs another reason? We're just happy that "Curb Your Enthusiasm," a platform for David's grievances for crimes against humanity (read: Larry David) is back at 10 p.m. EDT Sunday for the first time since 2011, and unaffected by time. The world of TV Larry, as he's labeled his alter ego, is insulated from the current White House tenant and national tensions. All the angst is petty, personal and courtesy of David and costars Cheryl Hines, Jeff Garlin, Susie Essman, J.B. Smoove, Richard Lewis and Bob Einstein, along with a bumper crop of guests including Elizabeth Banks, Lauren Graham and Bryan Cranston. Turns out while we were yearning for "Curb," David felt the same way. "I missed everything about it. Because it's really, to be trite, a lot of fun. It gives me a lot of pleasure, a lot
of laughs, and it's the actual ideal way for me to express myself," he said. As in express hostility? "It's not hostility. It's the honesty that draws me to it," he said in a recent FaceTime phone call. It's his preferred way to handle interviews not done in person and, it turns out, a boon for the questioner. It makes it easier to appreciate that when David isn't being irascible TV Larry, he can be attentive and disarmingly patient and, when amused, flashes an attractively broad smile that brings to mind a certain politician — and not the one he played so well on "Saturday Night Live," Bernie Sanders, but jovial Joe Biden. (David and Sanders actually are related, according to PBS' "Finding Your Roots," which traces their family genealogies in Monday's season debut.) Playing Sanders was a lark, David said, but he has zero interest in giving "Curb" a political infusion. "It's never been the basis of the show," he said, adding, "It's not in my wheelhouse, in my very narrow, comedic wheelhouse." His particular skill set has yielded "Seinfeld," which he co-created with Jerry Seinfeld, and the singular daring of "Curb Your Enthusiasm." How daring? Last season, Larry accused guest star Michael J. Fox of using Fox's Parkinson's as a cover for hostile acts toward Larry. Larry attempts to make amends and promises Fox he'll visit sick children, then flees to Paris. (In the new episodes, he's back in his Los Angeles stomping ground.) The show is so contrary that it's taken 17 years to make nine seasons, whereas most other shows generally toe the line with a season a year. But "Curb" execu-
tive producer Jeff Schaffer said there's a bright side: David has been taking careful notes. Imagine the "uncomfortable situations he's been in these last six years," Schaffer said. "It's been amazing. ... It's like we're sitting in the Fort Knox of awkward." In a new-season trailer (preview episodes weren't available), Larry is seen shushing a sobbing woman at a funeral, shoving a department store worker after she assaults him with spray perfume, and ordering a young couple in a romantic clinch outside his window to scram: "You're allowed to be happy, but not in front of me." David insists that "Curb Your Enthusiasm" won't dull its edge no matter what happens beyond its insular world, in which only funny counts. For instance, Smoove's Leon Black is as brazen as ever, just like TV Larry. "If you think because of political correctness you're going to get anything different from J.B. Smoove, you'd be mistaken. Or 'Curb' in general," David said. "And the people who watch the show and are fans of the show, they don't want that anyway. They like the show because of that reason." He has one complaint to lodge about the revived series, which again follows its formula of a story outline filled in by the actors improvising their lines. "In the past, people used to call me a bald (expletive), and now I'm an old (expletive). So somehow in the past five or six years that I've been away, I must have aged considerably," David said. "I'd much rather be called bald. I miss bald."

NEW HAMPSHIRE
SPEED FREAKS A few questions we had to ask ourselves Which Bubble Boy has the best shot of winning this week? GODSPEAK: I’m going with Ryan Newman. Something tells me he will get fast this weekend. KEN’S CALL: Looking at the bottom six in the standings, Kurt Busch is the obvious choice. The only choice, really, barring rain or gas issues.
THREE THINGS WE LEARNED
What about Joey Logano’s “timeout” penalty during last weekend’s practice? GODSPEAK: Who hasn’t had a “timeout” penalty? Aren’t millennials the “timeout” generation? KEN’S CALL: If punishment was the aim, they should’ve sentenced him to an infield autograph session.

GODWIN’S PICKS F O R D OV E R WINNER: Matt Kenseth REST OF TOP 5: Ryan Newman, Martin Truex Jr., Brad Keselowski, Kyle Larson FIRST ONE OUT: Trevor Bayne DARK HORSE: Clint Bowyer DON’T BE SURPRISED IF: Kenseth finally gets over that win hump at the “Monster Mile.”

Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers
No, but we would like to think he’s at least hopeful. Some folks are pointing to the recent history of Barney Visser’s Furniture Row Racing (No. 78 team) and how it struggled to get some footing, got a jolt with the arrival of Kurt Busch in 2013, and has been a juggernaut since Martin Truex Jr.’s arrival in 2014. That, however, is much more of an exception than a rule. If Kasey starts a similar ball rolling for Leavine Family Racing, great, but in NASCAR’s current business climate, it’ll be very tough.

1. Have a smoke
smoke cleared I’m looking at Harvick’s door — my teammate.”
Tire smoke-outs are generally reserved for the winning driver, but the winning driver had to survive a tire-smoke cloud on Sunday. Kyle Busch described it. “That was some ‘Days of Thunder’ stuff over there,” he said. “You couldn't see anything. It was just a wall of smoke.”
2. Crazy haze The “Big One” happened on Lap 151 and involved several playoff drivers such as Kevin Harvick and Kurt Busch, both sidelined in the garage. “Boom!” Busch said. “As soon as the
3. Damaged, continues When things are rolling your way, the good luck gets your car through a bad incident. Martin Truex Jr. was involved in the smoke-storm crash, but his team patched up his No. 78 Toyota, and he finished fifth. It’s looking more like the Year of Truex.
1. First cut, the deepest Cat Stevens scored the song “The First Cut Is the Deepest” in 1967, and that title holds true heading into Dover. Sixteen NASCAR playoff drivers will go in and only 12 will exit the “Monster Mile.” The scramble is not at the top of the standings, but with those bringing up the rear. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Austin Dillon share the bubble-boy position at 2,044 points, with three more drivers behind them.
Dover International Speedway is a crazy-fast, high-banked, concrete-surfaced 1-mile oval. There is no other track remotely similar to Dover, which refers to itself as the “Monster Mile.” Jimmie Johnson is particularly fond of

THREE THINGS TO WATCH
From Ryan Blaney in eighth place to Kasey Kahne in 16th, and all those drivers sandwiched in between, they would love to a get a race victory and advance to Round 2. Kurt Busch and Kahne really need a Hail Mary triumph to keep advancing. Kahne is 21 points behind the 12thplace driver, and his chances of advancing are slim. Busch was the first to be playoff-eligible by winning the Daytona 500 and may be one of the first to go.
You can make either argument. Joey was forced to sit with his car on pit road during all of the final practice last Saturday at New Hampshire. That wasn’t a good look for anyone. But he was there because his team failed to get through tech inspection … FOUR TIMES! That, too, is rather silly. Also, it’s a little late for that team to try sneaking a fastball past the tech cops.
One more look at Kasey Kahne’s magic moment at Indianapolis, the win that got him into the NASCAR playoffs, because he is about to exit the postseason. [NASCAR GETTY IMAGES/SEAN GARDNER]
