City testing new technology for roadwork

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—It may not have been well-known, but the city is trying a new form of road repair on Union Street.

According to Westfield Mayor Brian Sullivan, the Westfield Department of Public Works (DPW) has started using a process called micro-surfacing on Union Street last week. This process helps to extend the life of roads that can receive the treatment and can potentially save the city money toward its infrastructure work. However, the work currently cannot be A portion of Union Street in done in-house and only select roads can receive the treatment.

Westfield Police continuing use of electric motorcycle

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—As the warm weather continues in the city and fireworks and other festivities are expected to start soon, you may also start to see a unique police vehicle out and about—the Zero Motorcycle.

The vehicle is an electric motorcycle, and makes little to no sound and has no emissions. It made its debut a little over a year ago, and has been seen throughout the city. According to Westfield Police Lt. Eric Hall, while police don’t use it for patrol the vehicle gives them an advantage when attempting to get to places where other vehicles don’t typically go.

A photo of the Zero Motorcycle inside the Westfield Police Department (WNG file photo) “It’s not a patrol vehicle, so you won’t see us riding around on it making motor vehicle stops,” Hall said. “We use it as a special use vehicle, it allows us to get to places we can’t normally get to.”

We can get it on the bike trail, on the dike, through the woods. You can drive it through the fields, onto a trail system.”

Hall said that this especially helps when police are looking for someone missing, such as if a person with memory or cognitive problems goes See Motorcycle, Page 5

Helping women ‘feel beautiful’ – one wig at a time

By LORI SZEPELAK Correspondent WEST SPRINGFIELD-Joan Quinn learned the art of making wigs in the 1960’s at her first job – Steiger’s in downtown Springfield – and that skill has been a blessing throughout her career and is now helping women battling cancer who have lost their hair.

On Monday morning, Quinn proudly showcased the Wig Boutique at the CHD Cancer House of Hope at 1999 Westfield St. which has had a makeover since Quinn began as volunteer Wig Boutique coordinator last year.

“After talking with director Joe Kane I felt Joan Quinn is the volunteer Wig Boutique coordinator for CHD Cancer House of Hope See Helping Women, Page 3 in West Springfield.

Big delivery: South Carolina mom gives birth to 14-pound son LEXINGTON, S.C. (AP) — A South Carolina couple is looking for some bigger baby clothes after their son was born at a whopping 14.4 pounds.

WLTX-TV reports that Colin Austin Keisler was born by cesarean section at a hospital in Lexington. The baby is healthy, but his mother, Cindy Richmond, says they had to send her mother home for some bigger clothes because Colin couldn’t fit into any of his newborn outfits.

Colin is off to a good start if he’s destined to attain some of his father’s goals for him.

Arthur Keisler wants Colin to be a defensive lineman at Clemson University and play for the Green Bay Packers.

O

n June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife, Sophie, were shot to death in Sarajevo by Serb nationalist Gavrilo Princip — an act which sparked World War I.

ON THIS DATE:

In 1778, the Revolutionary War Battle of Monmouth took place in New Jersey; from this battle arose the legend of “Molly Pitcher,” a woman who was said to have carried water to colonial soldiers, then taken over firing her husband’s cannon after he became disabled.

In 1836, the fourth president of the United States, James Madison, died in Montpelier, Virginia.

In 1838, Britain’s Queen Victoria was crowned in Westminster Abbey.

In 1867, Italian author and playwright Luigi Pirandello was born in Agrigento, Sicily.

In 1919, the Treaty of Versailles (vehr-SY’) was signed in France, ending the First World War. In Independence, Missouri, future president Harry S. Truman married Elizabeth Virginia Wallace.

In 1939, Pan American Airways began regular trans-Atlantic air service with a flight that departed New York for Marseilles, France.

In 1944, the Republican national convention in Chicago nominated New York Gov. Thomas E. Dewey for president and Ohio Gov. John W. Bricker for vice president.

In 1950, North Korean forces captured Seoul (sohl), the capital of South Korea.

In 1964, civil rights activist Malcolm X declared, “We want equality by any means necessary” during the Founding Rally of the Organization of Afro-American Unity in New York.

In 1978, the Supreme Court ordered the University of California-Davis Medical School to admit Allan Bakke (BAHK’ee), a white man who argued he’d been a victim of reverse racial discrimination.

In 1989, about 1 million Serbs gathered to mark the 600th anniversary of the Battle of Kosovo in 1389.

In 1997, in a wild rematch, Evander Holyfield retained the WBA heavyweight boxing championship after his opponent, Mike Tyson, was disqualified for biting Holyfield’s ear during the third round of their fight in Las Vegas.

TEN YEARS AGO: The U.S. Supreme Court voted 5-4 to strike down school integration plans in Louisville, Kentucky, and Seattle, a decision that was denounced hours later by Democratic presidential candidates in their third primary debate. President George W. Bush’s immigration plan to legalize as many as 12 million immigrants while fortifying the border collapsed in the Senate. The American bald eagle was removed from the endangered species list. The TV series “Burn Notice,” starring Jeffrey Donovan as a spy left out in the cold, premiered on USA Network.

FIVE YEARS AGO: The Affordable Care Act narrowly survived, 5-4, an election-year battle at the U.S. Supreme Court with the improbable help of conservative Chief Justice John Roberts. Attorney General Eric Holder became the first sitting Cabinet member held in contempt of Congress, a rebuke pushed by Republicans seeking to unearth the facts behind a bungled gun-tracking operation known as Fast and Furious. (The vote was 255-67, with more than 100 Democrats boycotting.) At Wimbledon, 2-time champion Rafael Nadal was overpowered in the second round by Lukas Rosol, a Czech ranked No. 100, 6-7 (9), 6-4, 6-4, 2-6, 6-4. Katie Holmes filed for divorce from Tom Cruise after 5 years of marriage.

ONE YEAR AGO:

Three suicide bombers armed with assault rifles stormed Istanbul’s Ataturk airport, killing 44 victims and wounding nearly 150; no one claimed responsibility, but Turkish official said they suspected the Islamic State group. House Republicans concluded their $7 million, two-year investigation into the deadly attacks in Benghazi, Libya, with fresh accusations of lethal mistakes by the Obama administration but no “smoking gun” pointing to wrongdoing by Hillary Clinton, who said the report “found nothing, nothing to contradict” the findings of earlier investigations. Death claimed Pat Summitt, the most successful coach in major college basketball history, at age 64; former pro football coach Buddy Ryan at age 85; and pioneering rock guitarist Scotty Moore at age 84.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAYS: Comedian-movie director Mel Brooks is 91. Former Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., is 83. Comedian-impressionist John Byner is 80. Former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta is 79.

City Testing

Continued from Page 1 According to Sullivan, Union Street is the first roadway in Westfield to receive this treatment and it is being treated as a test for the process. Sullivan said that microsurfacing is part of what the city is trying that’s different for roadwork, which many residents have grumbled about on social media and elsewhere.

“It’s basically a thin layer that goes on and can restore some of the oils,” he said. “It can lengthen some of the life expectancy.”

Specifically, David Billips, director of the DPW, said that micro-surfacing could extend the life of roads 15 to 20 years. Billips said that it works by applying a thin coat onto pavement, which helps to seal and protect the roadway of wear.

And according to both Billips and Sullivan, the treatment is more cost-effective than others currently being used.

“There’re a lot of different technologies for a lot of different roads, this is by far the cheapest,” Billips said.

“The cost is 40 percent of a milling and paving project, so it’s almost half the cost of doing what we did on Franklin [Street] and Southwick [Road],” Sullivan said.

However, there are drawbacks to the method.

First, Billips said that the streets that are currently available for the treatment are limited.

“The road has to be relatively flat, without any major flaws, there can’t be three foot potholes or multiple potholes,” he said.

In addition, although the cost is said to be lower, the technology and process cannot be done through current in-house options, according to Billips and Sullivan. However, Sullivan said that he believes it can one day become a technology the city can utilize, rather than through a third party.

“We still need some outside assistance, micro-surfacing is not something in house right now,” Sullivan said. “Because of the equipment to do that is pretty expensive.”

There is no definitive list of streets that will or can receive micro-surfacing, but city officials are reviewing which roadways can receive the treatment. However, Billips and Sullivan expect a portion of East Main Street to be the next to receive micro-surfacing.

that I could contribute,” said Quinn, who also taught Cosmetology and Aesthetics for 26 years at Springfield Technical Community College. “There were quite a few wigs available, but it wasn’t the kind of environment that made a woman feel good about herself.”

Quinn created a vision for the room and turned to her “angels” – friends and businesses – who transformed the space into a tranquil, warm and inviting atmosphere.

“I recruited volunteers, people with different talents and resources, to transform the room,” said Quinn. “I never thought I had a lot of friends but it turns out I do, and they’re my angels.

Together we got the room painted, added shelving to display the wigs on model heads, and revamped lighting. We also raised money by selling plaques which purchased the needed materials, and Home Depot employees in West Springfield donated the labor, led by design coordinator Cyndi Marshall Gallant. It was their generous free labor that really made our boutique’s dream happen sooner.”

Quinn’s goal for every “guest” who visits the Wig Boutique is to “feel beautiful” when they leave.

“A woman’s hair is such a personal thing,” said Kane. “Joan has been doing this kind of work for her whole career. She can tell by the shape of a woman’s face, the form of her features, and the shade of her skin what kind of wig will look, fit and feel right. And she really cares about every guest who comes in.”

Quinn is joined by Jan D’Orazio, a former hairdresser, who brings a complementary skill set to the cause. Together they staff the Wig Boutique weekdays and by appointment.

Quinn explained that wigs offered at the boutique – all free to women fighting a cancer diagnosis – are synthetic. Some wigs are donated by retailers from a line that has been discontinued, and many are donated by individuals.

“Sometimes wigs come back from a guest who is cured or in remission,” said Quinn. “Sometimes a wig is brought back if a guest dies, which is a sad event but also a cleansing experience for a surviving spouse or family member who can leave knowing that the wig can make a meaningful difference in the life of someone on their own journey with cancer.”

If a wig is being donated or returned, a “refreshing process” is done to ensure it is clean and sanitized.

“Cosmetology students at STCC now volunteer to perform the task for us,” said Quinn. “They learn a career skill and help a good cause.”

In the past six months, close to 100 wigs have been provided to women, as well as hats and scarves. There are close to 60 wigs in a variety of styles on display at all times with more than 100 waiting to be draped on mannequins. The hairstyles are diverse and encompass all age ranges – from girls to those in their 90’s.

Westfield resident Colleen Chevosky is one of the guests this spring who received a wig, hat and some scarves.

Continued from Page 1 “On my first visit in February before surgery I felt very welcomed,” said Chevosky, who noted she has been “very open” about her breast cancer journey. “I didn’t think I would need a wig but when I went back in May I wanted to have one.” She is currently finishing up her chemotherapy appointments and will still undergo six weeks of radiation and further surgeries.

Chevosky enlisted her two children, ages five and eight, to join her at the Wig Boutique to help her pick out the right wig.

“I wanted them to be more comfortable so I asked them to help me pick out a wig,” said Chevosky, noting they could then say, “I picked that out for Mommy.”

After Chevosky tried on several hair style options at her children’s urging, her son and daughter ultimately chose a hair style that was similar to what she had.

“This is the new me – with no hair,” said Chevosky, adding that while she did take a wig, she wears the scarves most of the time.

Quinn recently launched a “Hang Cancer Out To Dry” clothesline campaign which travels to local salons each month and all money collected goes toward purchasing needed boutique items.

In the coming months, Hairworks Salon on College Highway in Southwick will be one of the supporters of the cause.

“Our salon is very active supporting breast cancer causes,” said Paula Zering of Hairworks Salon, who also started volunteering at the Wig Boutique. “We have helped women shave their heads and tweak their wigs to fit more comfortably over the years. We rally together to help women.”

Quinn explained that the Wig Boutique is not a hair salon.

“We’re a boutique where a guest can look at various options and choose one or two that she likes best,” said Quinn. “When she walks out, you wouldn’t know she’s wearing a wig. She leaves feeling beautiful.”

Meghan O’Leary, a volunteer at the boutique who previously owned the salon, @round the corner on School Street in Westfield, echoed those sentiments.

“I’ve had clients and friends diagnosed with breast cancer,” said O’Leary, noting that several she helped by shaving their heads. “I’ve had clients say they wouldn’t see me in six months because they were going to die. I can’t imagine what each woman is going through.”

O’Leary said she is donating her time at the Wig Boutique to wash and trim wigs, and pick up wig donations. She also works with several artists including Sabrina Garrity and Ruth Butler who bring their artistic talent to the boutique – including painting the styrofoam mannequins that grace the boutique shelves.

“We’re like a friend who listens, provides emotional support, and promises we will find the right wig for you,” said O’Leary.

Quinn concurred.

“A little piece of my heart goes with every guest who comes here,” said Quinn.

Manafort registers as foreign agent

By CHAD DAY and JEFF HORWITZ Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, has registered with the Justice Department as a foreign agent for political consulting work he did for a Ukrainian political party, acknowledging that he coached party members on how to interact with U.S. government officials.

Manafort says in a Justice Department filing Tuesday that his firm, DMP International, received more than $17 million from the Party of Regions, the former pro-Russian ruling party in Ukraine, for consulting work from 2012 through 2014.

Manafort is the second member of the Trump campaign to register as a foreign agent. In March, former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn registered with the Justice Department for work his consulting firm performed for a Turkish businessman that he said could have aided the Turkish government. Both registrations came after the work had been completed.

Manafort helmed Trump's campaign for about five months until August and resigned from the campaign immediately after The Associated Press reported on his firm's covert Washington lobbying operation on behalf of Ukraine's ruling political party. He is one of several people linked to the Trump campaign who are under scrutiny by a special counsel and congressional committees investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 campaign and potential coordination with Trump associates.

Manafort has denied any coordination with Russia and has said his work in Ukraine was not related to the campaign.

The Washington Post first reported Manafort's registration and posted a copy of his filing online Tuesday. The filing does not bear the date and time stamps showing that it has been formally received by the Justice Department's FARA unit. But Manafort spokesman Jason Maloni confirmed to several news outlets that Manafort had gone through with the registration.

Maloni did not respond to phone calls or emails from AP seeking comment.

His registration came more than two months after Maloni told the AP that Manafort would be registering under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Maloni later backed off that statement, saying in late April that Manafort was still considering his options after receiving guidance from the Justice Department.

Under federal law, people who represent foreign political interests and seek to influence U.S. public opinion and policy are required to register with the Justice Department before they perform any work. Manafort's registration comes more than three years after he completed his work.

The Justice Department rarely prosecutes violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Instead, as in Manafort's case, they often work with lobbyists to get in compliance.

In addition to Manafort, his deputy, Rick Gates, also registered for the Ukrainian political work. Gates also served in the Trump campaign. He could not be immediately reached for comment Tuesday evening.

In the filing, Manafort said that his company's work was mostly focused on domestic Ukrainian politics as part of its work for the Party of Regions, which was led at the time by former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych. The filing repeatedly states that Manafort's firm worked "to advance the goal of greater political and economic integration between Ukraine and the West."

Manafort's firm also acknowledged that it had some involvement with a Brussels-based nonprofit called the European Centre for Modern Ukraine, saying that it provided "advice" to the entity.

Last August, the AP reported that emails show that Manafort's firm and Gates directed the efforts of Washington lobbying firms that were working on behalf of the center.

The emails show Gates directing lobbyists from Washington firm Mercury LLC to set up meetings between a top Ukrainian official and senators and congressmen on influential committees involving Ukrainian interests. Gates also had the firms gather information in the U.S. on a rival lobbying operation and directed efforts to undercut sympathy for Yulia Tymoshenko, an imprisoned rival of Yanukovych.

Supreme Court term ended much different than it began

By MARK SHERMAN Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court began its term nine months ago with Merrick Garland nominated to the bench, Hillary Clinton favored to be the next president, and the court poised to be controlled by Democratic appointees for the first time in 50 years.

Things looked very different when the justices wrapped up their work this week.

The court's final decisions and orders were almost emphatic declarations, if there had been any doubt, that this is once again a conservative-leaning court that may only move more to the right in the years to come.

The justices gave President Donald Trump the go-ahead to start enforcing at least part of his travel ban, showed that the wall between church and state is perhaps not as high as it once was and invigorated a baker's religion-based refusal to create a wedding cake for a same-sex couple.

"Liberals were certainly looking forward to a Clinton presidency that would alter the direction of the court. This was not an outcome we predicted," said Nan Aron, president of the liberal Alliance for Justice.

The first casualty of Trump's election was Garland, the appellate judge whom President Barack Obama nominated to the high court. Instead of Garland on the far right of the bench where the newest justice sits, there was Justice Neil Gorsuch.

The placement also meshed with his votes. The Trump nominee who joined the court in April, Gorsuch staked out the most conservative position in a number of closely watched cases, including the one on the travel ban.

The 49-year-old Coloradan restored the court's conservative tilt, nearly 14 months after Justice Antonin Scalia's death left the remaining eight justices divided between four liberal-leaning Democratic appointees and four conservative-leaning Republican appointees. Trump also could bring seismic change to the court if any of the three oldest justices — 84-year-old Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 80-year-old Anthony Kennedy or 78-year-old Stephen Breyer — steps down in the next few years.

The youngest justice was unusually active both as a questioner during arguments and in his writing. Gorsuch wrote separately from the court's majority opinion seven times in less than three months, the same number of such opinions Justice Elena Kagan wrote in her first two years on the court, University of Texas law professor Stephen Vladeck noted on Twitter.

Some terms are notable for the blockbuster rulings they produce, and recent years have seen a string of such cases dealing with health care, same-sex marriage, voting rights and abortion.

Not this one. "This term was the first in years without seemingly any blockbuster cases," said Kannon Shanmugam, a frequent Supreme Court advocate who once was a Scalia law clerk.

It was remarkably light on high-profile issues, with the court short-handed for the first six months of its term. The justices bypassed some issues altogether, jettisoning a potentially significant case about transgender rights after Trump took office.

In other cases, consensus opinions "resolved the case narrowly, without using it as a vehicle to make dramatic, controversial changes to the law," wrote Paul Gordon, senior legislative counsel at the liberal People for the American Way. One exception was the religious rights case that the justices decided Monday, ruling by a 7-2 vote that states can't single out religious institutions and refuse to fund secular activities.

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that Missouri's decision to exclude a church from a grant program to upgrade a children's playground was "odious to our Constitution."

But Justice Sonia Sotomayor, in a dissent joined by Ginsburg, said the decision profoundly changed the church-state relationship "by holding, for the first time, that the Constitution requires the government to provide public funds directly to a church."

Liberals were in dissent in a case limiting the ability to sue federal officials for rights violations and in another that went against a Texas death row inmate who complained about his appellate lawyer.

The justices did issue a number of limited rulings on race that cheered liberals, including two cases favoring Texas death row inmates and another two that threw out electoral districts that were challenged by black voters.

Back at full strength, the court already has a lineup of cases for next term that promises a return to difficult social issues and tests of the government's authority. The justices will hear the appeal of the Colorado baker that pits his claims of religious freedom against the rights of the same-sex couple who wanted a wedding cake to commemorate their marriage.

The travel ban dispute weighs the president's considerable powers over immigration and the targeting of Muslims that lower courts have found. A second case focuses on the privacy rights of criminal suspects whose cellphone use is recorded by their service providers and turned over to police without a search warrant.

A Wisconsin case about partisan advantage in redistricting could affect elections nationwide if the justices decide there are constitutional limits to what the political parties can do in drawing electoral districts for their own benefit.

"Next year already looks like a return to the new normal," Shanmugam said.

One thing that hasn't changed is Kennedy's role more or less at the court's center. Garland's ascension to the court might have reduced Kennedy's sway.

Speculation about Kennedy's retirement has subsided as the court's last public meeting came and went without an announcement.

For another term, at least, the court will go only as far right or left as Kennedy is willing.

People visit the Supreme Court in Washington, Monday, June 26, 2017, as justices issued their final rulings for the term, in Washington. The Supreme Court began its term nine months ago with Merrick Garland nominated to the bench, Hillary Clinton favored to be the next president, and the court poised to be controlled by Democratic appointees for the first time in 50 years. Things looked very different when the justices wrapped up their work this week.

missing, or if someone possibly runs away. This is due to it being able to cover areas where people may traverse on foot.

“We used it and found someone a couple weeks ago, found an elderly person who wandered away,” he said.

In addition, Hall said that the vehicle can travel 90 mph, which can make covering a large distance much easier than if

11:11 p.m.: Burglary/breaking and entering, Russell Road.

an officer was on foot or on a bicycle.

And although it is stealthy according to Hall, the vehicle is still equipped with lights and sirens. The motorcycle, which can be charged through a conventional three-prong plug outlet, can go up to 112 miles on a single charge, according to a previous article in The Westfield News.

practices prior to the national event will start at 8:30 a.m.

With racers, their families, sponsors, and fans coming from all over the United States and across the world, hotels in areas like West Springfield, Westfield, Springfield, Windsor, Conn. and Hartford, Conn. will be receiving an uptick in business.

It’s also the local businesses in Southwick that have benefited from the national event when it was in town, most recently in 2013 and 2016, and 2017 is expected to be no different.

Joe Deedy, who is the Vice-Chairman of the Select Board and the Owner of Moolicious Ice Cream, directly benefits from the motocross nationals.

Moolicious was a vendor at last year’s event, having a cart that sold ice cream and other cold and frozen treats, and they will be doing the same this year. Deedy also added that his business’ main location on 258 Feeding Hills Road also receives a boost in business, especially with the people that arrive earlier in the week to help set up the course.

“They’ve been out in the sun all day and they’ll stop to get some shade and get an ice cream,” said Deedy.

When people visiting Southwick for the week aren’t spending their time near the track or getting ice cream, they will make a stop to one of several gas stations in Southwick to pump gas and get their food and beverage needs in the convenience stores.

One of those options that has noticeably thrived is the Notch Travel Centre at 326 College Hwy. Miles Ericson, who is the General Manager there, said that there is almost a 50% increase in customer traffic during the week of the nationals.

Ericson always makes sure that they are heavily staffed for the week.

“It’s something we have to prepare and staff for,” said Ericson.

Ericson noted that motocross events in Southwick start in late April and run through November and it’s not just the national race that brings an increase of customers to the Notch.

“It brings people in throughout the months that it’s open,” said Ericson.

Karl Stinehart, who is the Chief Administrative Officer for the Town of Southwick, is always pleased to see a national event like this one have such a positive impact on the town.

“It certainly lends itself to one of many recreational activities that the town offers to people,” said Stinehart.

This year’s motocross national will include features that have never been offered before for that particular race. Rick Johnson of the Wick 338, who manages the race, said that the television network NBC will be broadcasting the race globally. The national race is only one of three events that will be doing that.

Also this year there will be a brand new VIP suite in the thick of the race.

In years past, there was a famous straightaway right in the middle of the infield. The Wick 338 crew has leveled off that part of the infield and has put the new VIP tent right in the center of it, an area where no one has ever watched the nationals from.

“It’s by far the most beautiful spot in the world,” said Johnson.

Johnson also added that there have been new sections added

to the course. One is after the spectator jump and another is after the sky hook way up on the hill.

The Wick 338 is also pleased to announce that Red Bull is going to be the title sponsor again.

“To have an anchor like that on your side, we’re very proud of that,” said Johnson.

For the racing aspect, Johnson said that they used 20 truckloads of Southwick’s own sand to fill in the track. Having some of the best racers across the world participating in the national race, the sand will make for a faster and more exciting race.

“It’s just going to make for great racing,” said Johnson.

“We’ve got to make sure we stand up to that reputation.”

Johnson noted that they drew people to the race last year from every state and “local” people come from a 300-mile radius. He is also projecting that the national race will remain in Southwick for at least the next three years, According to Johnson, the race brings in revenue of around $1.4 million to Southwick businesses.

“It’s still a significant boost in the economy,” said Johnson.

Counting down the days in which the Motocross Nationals becomes a focal point of the town, the Wick 338 couldn’t be more pleased with the opportunity.

“We are totally enthralled in the fact that we are going to have this,” said Johnson. “We need to make sure that we become the very best in the country and we will be.

The Wick 338 prepared the track last year, leading up to the 2016 Motocross Nationals, and will do the same for this year. (WNG File Photo)

American rally

By CHRIS PUTZ Correspondent WESTFIELD – The Westfield American 12-YearOld All-Stars were down, but proved they were never out.

Caden Matuszczak hit a two-run, go-ahead home run in the fifth inning, and Kyle Scherpa homered as Westfield American rallied past Agawam 8-5 in a Little League Baseball District 2 tournament game Tuesday at Ralph E. Sanville Memorial Field on Cross Street.

Jack Litz belted a two-run homer to put Agawam out front in the first inning.

Westfield American cut the lead in half in the bottom half of the second inning when Jax Grady reached on a fielder’s choice and scored on a Jay Scherpa grounder.

Agawam built its lead back up in the top of third with a two-run single from Ben Blanchette.

In the bottom of the third, Scott Hepburn drew a leadoff walk, and Liam Poole (2-for-4, 2 runs scored) followed with a single.

Matuszczak, pinch-running for Hepburn, advanced to third base on a passed ball and scored on a wild pitch.

Poole then came around on a line drive single from Bryan Bolio. Westfield American trailed just 4-3.

Poole started the rally in the bottom of the fifth with a single. Matuszczak gave Westfield a 5-4 edge with a home run to left-center field.

Sebastian Gomez kept things going with a double to rightcenter. Grady ran for him and scored on a hit to right by Patrick Flaherty. Flaherty advanced to third on a sacbunt by Sean Roselli, and scored on a wild pitch. Kyle See Rally, Page 11

After sitting out a 30-minute delay for lightning in the area, Westfield American and Agawam completed just four innings.

Westfield pitchers Will Fruwirth, Josh Drumm and Ben King combined for only four walks but it was Agawam making solid contact and hitting it in gaps that drove their run total.

Offensively, Josh Drumm went 2-for-2 with solid singles to the outfield each time and Jack Madsen recorded a hit.

No other hits were allowed.

Will Fruwirth took the mound for the Westfield All-Stars for their game against Agawam.

Dear Annie

By ANNIE LANE

Kids These Days Dear Annie: Maybe I am overly sensitive, but there are so many commercials with children doing things that they really should not be doing, and it makes me wonder about the younger adults who find this cute. Currently, there is an ad for a travel company featuring a teacher who is ready for vacation. The kids in the classroom are tearing up the place.

One kid is in the fish tank. Others are beating the furniture with bats and sticks. I have seen a commercial in which two girls are kicking in the sides of an air conditioner because it broke down. There is a commercial in which two young boys who are being baby-sat by their uncle destroy the house. They jump on all the furniture, tear up feather pillows. Grandma calls and asks, “Are we having fun yet?”

What kind of message does this send to our children?

Destruction of property is OK! What kind of values are we teaching our young?

I grew up in the 1950s. If I had done something like that, I would have received a spanking. Spanking is now considered child abuse. Parents need to use some alternative and stick with it. If I see a child who is well-behaved in public and near me, I try to compliment the parent. I’m curious about your thoughts on this. -- Watching in Disbelief Dear Watching in Disbelief: I grew up in the ‘90s, and I still don’t think that children should be allowed to act destructively or disrespectfully. I’m especially concerned when I turn on the TV and see children being rude to teachers -- who have one of the most important jobs in the world.

Why advertisements feature such behavior as if it were cute is beyond me. But I think your practice of complimenting the parents of well-behaved children is a kind and upbeat step in the opposite direction, and I encourage all my readers to start doing the same.

Dear Annie: I’d like to add to your response to the grandmother of the 7-year-old who wanted to invite only her new “besties” to her birthday party, leaving some of her old friends out. You said to invite all of the friends anyway because kids change their minds all the time and they might be best friends again by the next week. You were right.

Leaving children out, pushing them to the sidelines, is a bad habit to get into. When we do, we are often creating bullying and other dysfunctional behaviors that can turn truly dangerous. And it’s never too early to begin teaching children to be kind and considerate of others’ feelings. -- Beth in Oregon Dear Beth: A million times yes. Empathy is a trait that can and should be nurtured in children early on. Thank you for your letter.

HINTS FROM HELOISE ‘ANGEL BISCUITS’ ARE A HEAVENLY TREAT Dear Heloise: You had a recipe for something called “ANGEL BISCUITS,” which my mother used to make. Since my future in-laws are coming for dinner, I wanted to impress them with my cooking skills. Could you reprint that recipe for me and probably many others who love good biscuits? -- Rosemary H., Tuscaloosa, Ala. Rosemary, of course! These have always been a big hit with my readers. You’ll need: 1 package dry yeast 1/4 cup warm water 2 1/2 cups flour 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons sugar 1/2 cup shortening 1 cup buttermilk Dissolve the yeast in the warm water; set aside. Mix the dry ingredients in the order given, cutting in the shortening as you normally do for biscuits or pie dough. Stir in the buttermilk and yeast mixture, and mix thoroughly. The dough is ready to refrigerate.

When it’s time to make the biscuits, turn the dough out onto a floured board and knead lightly. Roll out and cut with a biscuit cutter, placing them in a greased pan. Let the dough rise slightly before baking in a 400-degree oven for about 12 to 15 minutes. -- Heloise

On The Tube For a week, Fallon retakes the lead from Colbert

By DAVID BAUDER AP Television Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Jimmy Fallon has topped Stephen Colbert in late-night ratings for the first time since Donald Trump has been president. But the NBC comic might want to keep the champagne on ice.

The Nielsen company said that Fallon's "Tonight" show averaged 2.66 million viewers last week, a whisker above the 2.62 million achieved by Colbert's "Late Show." CBS' Colbert, with his sharp anti-Trump humor, eclipsed long-time leader Fallon the week after Trump's January inauguration and hasn't looked back.

NBC's comparatively strong prime-time schedule in the summer may have helped; CBS has been airing mostly reruns lately in prime time. CBS also aired Colbert reruns on Thursday and Friday that were excluded in the ratings. The network believes it would have won if Colbert aired original shows on those nights, and that it will win when people who watch on a time-delayed basis are later counted in.

NBC won the week in prime time behind its summer hit, "America's Got Talent," and the companion series "World of Dance."

Fox was nearly invisible in the prime-time ratings, with its long-running "So You Think You Can Dance" supplanted by NBC in the hoofer competition.

NBC averaged 4.6 million viewers for the week, CBS had 4.3 million, ABC had 3.6 million, Fox had 2 million, Univision had 1.4 million, ION Television had 1.32 million, Telemundo had 1.26 million and the CW had 760,000.

Fox News Channel was the week's most popular cable network, averaging 2.4 million viewers in prime time. ESPN had 1.57 mil-

ABC's "World News Tonight" topped the evening newscasts with an average of 7.7 million viewers.

Retracted CNN story a boon for president at war with media

By DAVID BAUDER AP Television Writer NEW YORK (AP) — For a president seemingly at perpetual war with "fake news," the resignation of three CNN journalists over a retracted story about a Donald Trump Russian connection is a gift from the political gods when the struggling effort to pass a health bill dominates the headlines.

The White House quickly took advantage Tuesday with blistering presidential tweets and a media scolding at the afternoon press briefing. Conservative provocateur James O'Keefe piled on by releasing a video with a CNN producer caught on camera talking about the network's Russia coverage being ratingsdriven.

CNN late Monday accepted the resignations of journalists Thomas Frank, Eric Lichtblau and Lex Haris over last week's web story about Trump aide Anthony Scaramucci's pre-inaugural meeting with the head of a Russian investment fund. The network retracted the story on Friday and apologized to Scaramucci.

Trump has been unhappy with CNN since he was a candidate, and has been particularly annoyed by its reporting on connections with Russia. The misstep on a relatively minor story — it was never mentioned on any of CNN's television networks — left some White House staff members jubilant, believing it handed them a new talking point to use as a cudgel against mainstream media organizations they feel are largely biased against them.

That happened quickly Tuesday when Sarah Huckabee Sanders called on a Breitbart News reporter for the first question of the White House briefing. It was about CNN. She said the "constant barrage of fake news" at the president has frustrated Trump. She called stories about Russia and Trump "a hoax" that is distracting from other news. Sanders urged all Americans to watch a video posted by O'Keefe's Project Veritas featuring CNN producer John Bonifield — even though she couldn't vouch for its accuracy.

"If it is accurate, I think it's a disgrace to all of media, to all of journalism," Sanders said. "I think that if we have gone to a place where the media can't be trusted to report the news, then that's a dangerous place for America. And I think if that is that place that certain outlets are going — particularly for the

purpose of spiking ratings, and if that's coming directly from the top, I think that's even more scary."

She was interrupted by reporter Brian Karem of the Sentinel newspapers, who accused Sanders of inflaming antimedia sentiment. "Everyone in this room is only trying to do their job," he said.

Sanders ignored CNN reporter Jeff Zeleny's attempt to ask a question before ending her briefing.

After Sanders left the stage, she was criticized on Fox News Channel, where Trump-friendly views usually dominate.

Wall Street Journal editor John Bussey told Fox's Shepard Smith that "the White House could actually learn from CNN's example" about being forthright when caught saying something untrue.

Earlier in the day, Trump tweeted that "they caught Fake News CNN cold." He lumped ABC, CBS, NBC, The New York Times and The Washington Post together in the same "fake news" category. He said that "CNN is looking at big management changes now that they got caught falsely pushing their phony Russian stories. Ratings way down!"

A spokeswoman for CNN chief Jeff Zucker didn't respond to a request for comment on Tuesday. CNN's public relations staff refuted Trump's notion that the network is hurting, saying it is completing the most-watched second quarter in its history.

The president was livid at CNN's story but also felt vindicated because it seemed to confirm his belief that the cable network was trying to undermine his presidency, according to one staffer who demanded anonymity to discuss private conversations.

The CNN issue enables the White House to change the subject for what has been a rough stretch for the presidency, with constant questions about the Russia probe and a vote on the Republican health care bill delayed.

Aides also believe that highlighting media mistakes could be a useful way of questioning reporters' credibility and convincing supporters that Trump was the victim of a witch hunt.

Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., tweeted a link to the Bonifield video.

Besides talking about ratings, the Atlanta-based producer in CNN's medical unit said the network has no "smoking gun" showing wrongdoing by Trump and that "the president is probably right to say, look, you are witch-hunting me."

CNN said in a statement that it is standing by Bonifield. "Diversity of personal opinion is what makes CNN strong," CNN said. "We welcome it and embrace it."

O'Keefe told The Associated Press that Project Veritas got the video on Friday and that a portion, in an elevator, was recorded at CNN's headquarters. He said that Project Veritas plans to release another video involving another CNN employee, with the timing dependent on how CNN reacts to the Bonifield material.

O'Keefe and Project Veritas have a track record of aiding Republican causes, often by using hidden cameras and hiding identities, and Trump's nonprofit foundation has made two $10,000 donations to the organization. His sting operation led to the downfall of ACORN, a community organizing group that O'Keefe portrayed as engaging in criminal activity via hidden camera.

Before last November's election, Project Veritas released a series of heavily edited videos that included a Democratic activist appearing to brag about deploying troublemakers at Trump rallies. The fallout included the two people most prominently featured, Scott Foval and Robert Creamer, cutting ties with the Democratic National Committee. Creamer's firm recently sued Project Veritas alleging the sting violated federal wiretap law.

O'Keefe declined to discuss how the Bonifield video came about. O'Keefe said his efforts are journalistic and, since they include video, he contends that it is more believable than media stories based on anonymous sources.

The retracted CNN story was heavily dependent upon one anonymous source.

One social media exchange about the CNN story indicated how feelings about the network were running strong among Trump supporters.

John Podhoretz, a conservative columnist for The New York Post and editor of Commentary magazine tweeted that "CNN published a bad story, pulled it, apologized. 3 journalists quit. That's impressive and decisive action. Yelling 'fake news' is unfair."

That drew a quick retort from Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity, an ardent Trump backer. "John wtf has happened to you?" Hannity wondered online.

Podhoretz declined to respond to Hannity online and denied an interview request.

DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, June 28, 2017: This year you find that you generally receive what you request -- within reason, of course. Others are highly responsive to you. Use your energy well, as it often is high. If you are single, others find you unusually attractive, especially as fall begins. From now until your next birthday, you could meet someone very significant to your life. If you are attached, the two of you might opt for a change around your home. In the fall, you will enter a very romantic period.

VIRGO can be demanding in his or her need for precision.

ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Your attention to detail comes through once more. If someone seems careless, you will become unusually critical. Even if you choose to say little, sarcasm could define your words. You even might doubt your intuition! Take a brief walk to chill out. Tonight: Do for you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Your imagination knows no limits. You will find a situation challenging, as it demands quick responses.

Often you prefer to mull over the possibilities and weigh the pros and cons of a matter first. You might not have that luxury right now. Trust your judgment.

Tonight: Say “yes.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You could be full of information. Understand what is happening around you, and ground yourself. Take in the present moment and use it for you. Honor what someone else says rather than question it. Know that there is more than one right answer. Tonight: A must appearance.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH A conversation you have in mind could be weighing on you; however, right now isn’t the best time to initiate it. Others might mean well in their responses, but what they say could be very different from what you are looking for. Tonight: Maintain a sense of humor.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Be aware of the costs of forging ahead, especially financially. You believe that the path is clear, but perhaps it isn’t. Be assertive and direct if you can. You might be inclined to take someone else’s words too personally.

Don’t. Tonight: Treat yourself to a new item.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You have the power to manifest more of what you want. You can be direct and decisive, but others might misread your bluntness at the moment as sarcasm. You simply are moving quickly through a lot of work and responsibilities. Tonight: How about some fun time?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You reveal much more than you realize, which delights someone else. Do not be surprised by this person’s response, which might be a lot more intense than you had anticipated.

This strong reaction might be in direct response to your openness. Tonight: Look for answers.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You don’t need to scheme in order to get what you desire; you simply need to express yourself. The first step is letting others know, especially if they are part of the goal. Though the answer might not fall in your lap today, it will sooner rather than later. Tonight: Out and about.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Take a stand, and know what you want. Give others the space to take action or at least to express themselves.

Confusion could surround your home or personal point of view. Try to detach and see where others are coming from.

Tonight: Take a midweek break with friends.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Reach out to someone at a distance for whom you have strong feelings. Catching up on each other’s news will be delightful. Be careful with a loved one who might become jealous that he or she is not the center of your world right now. Tonight: Read between the lines.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Relate closely to a key individual who is a big part of your personal or professional life. As you gain more understanding of this person’s unique ways, you will experience stronger interactions between you. Be cautious with financial dealings. Tonight: Dinner for two.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You would be well-advised to defer to the other party in a situation, as it might be a little too demanding for you alone to handle. You often carry too much responsibility on your shoulders.

Learn to ask for help. Tonight: Do not be disillusioned by someone else’s reac-
