By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—A local businessman has gathered volunteers to help and donate tools to aid the clean-up efforts following the devastation of Hurricane Harvey.

Nabil Hannoush and volunteers have come together to assemble, package and send out tools from his business, ErgieSystems, to help those affected by the hurricane in the Houston area. According to Hannoush, there will be over 1,000 tools, including Ergie brooms, rakes and shovels, that will be sent out, totaling around $100,000 in product value.

“I want to do whatever I can to help,” Hannoush said.

“Food and shelter are the first needs, and after that it’s cleanup time. We want to help them.”

The efforts are underway at Palmer Dedicated Logistics on South Broad Street, where See Harvey Help, Page 3

Western Mass Hilltown Hikers 600 strong

By AMY PORTER Correspondent RUSSELL – This Sunday, Sept. 17, a jointly planned Western Mass Hilltown Hikers and Southern Hilltowns Adult Education (SHAEC) hike to the Keystone Arches has been moved to a meetup time of 3 p.m.in the parking area of the Chester Elementary School.

Elizabeth S. Massa, founder of the Hilltown Hikers, said the parking area is a short walk to the Keystone Arch trail head. The 5-mile hike, which will be led by Massa and Michele Kenney, director of SHAEC, will take approximately two hours.

Massa said she tries to keep most of her hikes to five miles and two hours, to allow more people to participate. The first event by the group was actually a 15 mile mountain bike ride from Knightville Dam to the Chesterfield Gorge two years ago, when the Hilltown Hikers first formed.

“We all met for coffee, and made an official group, so no one would have to hike alone, and always have someone to hike with,” Massa said.

Now the group’s followers number 603, and come from as far away as See WMass Hilltown Hikers, Page 7

By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent SOUTHWICK – The Town’s senior tax work off program began on July 17 and, according to Southwick Council on Aging Director Cindy Sullivan, progress has been made since its inception. Sullivan said she was able to fill nine of the 10 available slots for the program.

The nine participants have been working at the Southwick Town Beach, the boat ramps for Congamond Lake, the Council on Aging center, the DPW, the public library, and within the school system.

Sullivan said that the relationship between the departments and the senior working for them has been a positive partnership thus far.

“The departments really like having people, their (seniors) working really hard,” said Pat Talbot (left) and Donna Charron (right) took part in the Sullivan.

Sullivan even noted newly created senior tax work that some of the depart- off program. (Photo courtesy of ments have asked the Southwick Council on Aging) senior if they wanted an actual job there next year or encouraged them to be a part of the tax work off program next year to help them again if they qualify.

Donna Charron and Pat Talbot, were two of the nine seniors who took part in the program. Charron just started working at Woodland School. Her first day was Monday Sept. 11.

While Charron has only spent a couple of days at the school, she has already been involved in numerous tasks in the main office. Her responsibilities include filing papers, making copies of documents, cutting out news articles to post on the office’s bulletin board, and putting mail in teacher’s mailboxes.

Charron is pleased with the way her experience has gone with the tax work off program at Woodland School.

“It was fantastic, I can’t wait to go back,” said Charron.

“They’re (Woodland School staff) all so pleasant, they make you feel very important.”

Talbot is at a different point than Charron in the program as she has completed her hours by working at the Southwick Town Beach this past summer. Talbot worked at the beach from when the program started in July to the end of August.

Having the task of making sure the beach was run properly, Talbot would take money at the gate from customers, See Program, Page 3

City council subcommittee looks to strengthen water district zoning

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—The city council’s natural resources committee has been working on strengthening the water resource protection district zoning ordinance in the city.

The natural resources committee has been working on creating a new draft for the zoning and are expecting to be able to bring the completed draft to city council and beyond starting next month. The draft has been worked on by Ward One City Councilor Mary Ann Babinski, who has presented it to her fellow committee members, Ward Two City Councilor Ralph Figy and Ward Four City Councilor Mary O’Connell, over the committee’s last two meetings. Since

then, all three members have been working on the draft and attempting to prepare it.

According to Babinski previously, the purpose of the proposed ordinance change is to improve protection of the Barnes aquifer. The aquifer has seen issues with contamination from perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) over the past year.

“People need to understand why we want to protect it,” Babinski said during the meeting last night. “What kind of impact we can have on the aquifer.”

The ordinance is still in draft form, but some areas of focus from the committee thus far have included protecting aboveground water sources that may feed into the aquifer, changing and adding defini-

The committee’s members left yesterday’s meetings with more tasks to research additional information related to draft further. They are expected to reconvene Oct. 16, at which point it may be referred out of their committee.

However, following that the draft would still need to go through a public hearing and should also go to the council’s Legislative and Ordinance committee and to planning board, according to The natural resources committee during yesterday’s meeting.

Preventing Suicide: Lives in the Balance It’s hardly news that growing up can be stressful. What may be news is your son or daughter is likely more interested in talking things over with you than you realize. It’s always a good time to talk about how they’re feeling inside, how things are going at school and with friends, and about life in general. This week is recognized as Suicide Prevention Week, and yet another opportunity to begin a meaningful conversation with someone you know and love by simply asking “how are you?: Nearly 40,000 people in the U.S. die from suicide each year. (Source: American Foundation for Suicide Prevention). That’s one death every 12.8

minutes.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provide additional perspective: • More people die by suicide than from automobile accidents • More people die from suicide than homicide • Suicide is the tenth leading cause of death among all Americans • Suicide is the third leading cause of death for ages 15 to 24 years Health professionals tell us it’s important to correctly educate children and teenagers about mental illness. It helps dispel misconceptions and stigma, and it provides them with the understanding and resources they need if they – or

someone they know – struggles with mental illness.

If you haven’t had a “mental health check-in” talk with your middle school or high school student recently, this week lends a great opportunity to do just that. Help your son or daughter to feel safe in sharing their feelings and opinions with you. Be aware of changes in their behavior and trust your instinct.

I asked my colleague Nina Slovik, LICSW, Clinic Director CBFS Clinics with CHD, to share some professional insights regarding suicide prevention.

UK engineers launch ‘sewer war’ against giant fat blob LONDON (AP) — British engineers say they have launched a “sewer war” against a giant fat blob clogging London’s sewers.

Thames Water officials said Tuesday it is likely to take three weeks to dissolve the outsize fatberg.

They caution against expecting quick results as the fatberg is 250 yards long and weighs as much as 11 double-decker busses.

The unsavory blob consists of congealed wet wipes, diapers, fat and oil.

Thames Water’s Matt Rimmer says the fatberg is “a total monster and taking a lot of manpower and machinery to remove as it’s set hard.”

He said the task is “basically like trying to break up concrete.”

Eight workers are using high powered jet hoses to break up the blob before sucking it out into tankers for disposal at a recycling site.

several boxes are being filled with assembled tools and getting ready to be put onto trucks for delivery.

According to Hannoush, Palmer Dedicated Logistics is assisting in the job, as well.

Once the tools are packaged, Hannoush said that they have collaborated with Federal Express to ship the tools to Walmart distribution centers located in areas most affected by Hurricane Harvey. Then, Hannoush said, the American Red Cross takes over.

Hannoush said that trucks were going to start today and that there was no set time that the efforts would finish.

“Whenever we’re done,” he said. “We’re working diligently to get everything done.”

According to Hannoush, there were several different volunteers assisting the efforts. These people have included Rep. John Velis and Ward Two City Councilor Ralph Figy.

“What makes this country great is people willing to help each other,” Velis said.

In addition to familiar faces, some came to help that Hannoush said he did not

Preventing Suicide

suicide, they actually have mixed feelings about dying,” she said. “Most often, suicidal feelings come from having a mental illness and these illnesses can be treated with professional help including medication and talk therapy. The best way anyone can help an individual experiencing depression is to get that person the help they need. People with a mental illness are not expecting you to fix them, they just want to be understood.”

As a major social service organization for our region, CHD offers extensive behavioral health programs, including services designed to identify and treat mental illness. We help people who have mental health needs, and also educate members of our community to develop greater acceptance towards mental health issues and people who have them.

You’d seek professional health care for a broken arm or a cough that doesn’t go away. It should be the same when it comes to managing your mental health—or that of someone you care about.

Action on student loan forgiveness delayed as rules revised

By MARIA DANILOVA Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Tens of thousands of former students who say they were swindled by for-profit colleges are being left in limbo as the Trump administration delays action on requests for loan forgiveness, according to court documents obtained by The Associated Press.

The Education Department is sitting on more than 65,000 unapproved claims as it rewrites Obama-era rules that sought to better protect students. The rewrite had been sought by the industry.

The for-profit colleges have found allies in the new administration and President Donald Trump, who earlier this year paid $25 million to settle charges his Trump University misled customers. And it's yet another example of the administration hiring officials to oversee the industries where they had worked previously.

In August, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos picked Julian Schmoke Jr., a former associate dean at DeVry University, as head of the department's enforcement unit. She also has tapped a top aide to Florida's attorney general who was involved in the decision not to pursue legal action against Trump University to serve as the agency's top lawyer. More than 2,000 requests for loan forgiveness are pending from DeVry students.

The Obama rules would have forbidden schools from forcing students to sign agreements that waived their right to sue.

Defrauded students would have had a quicker path to get their loans erased, and schools, not taxpayers, could have been held responsible for the costs.

Now, in a filing in federal court in California, acting Undersecretary James Manning says the department will need up to six months to decide the case of a former student at the now-defunct Corinthian Colleges and other cases like hers.

Sarah Dieffenbacher, a single mother of four from California, had taken out $50,000 in student loans to study to become a paralegal, but then couldn't find a job in the field, defaulted on her debt and could face wage garnishment.

"ED will be able to issue a decision with regards to Ms. Dieffenbacher's Borrower Defense claims within six months, as part of a larger group of Borrower Defense decisions regarding similar claims," Manning wrote to the court on Aug. 28.

Department spokesman Liz Hill said the agency is working to streamline the process and resolve the claims as quickly as possible. "Unfortunately, the Obama administration left behind thousands of claims, and we will need to set up a fair and equitable system to work through them," she said.

She said students with claims pending are not required to make payments on their loans.

But Dieffenbacher says the delay is costing her family dearly.

"They should be protecting the students, because students were led to believe they were protected," she said in an interview. "And they are not, they are protecting Corinthian Colleges and for-profit schools."

Alec Harris, a lawyer with Legal Services Center of Harvard Law School who is representing Dieffenbacher, said the inaction could put his client and her children on the street.

"This is a Department of Education that has seemingly sided with industry and stacked the deck against former students of predatory for-profit schools every step of the way," Harris said.

Reid Setzer, government affairs director for Young Invincibles, an advocacy and research group, said the department's delay is harming thousands of students.

"It's kind of ridiculous," Setzer said. "There have been massive delays since the change of administration."

The Obama administration went hard after for-profit colleges that lured students into taking big loans with false promises. Chains including Corinthian Colleges and ITT Technical Institute were forced to close, and Obama's Education See Student Loans, Page5

Justices allow Trump ban on most refugees

By MARK SHERMAN Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is allowing the Trump administration to maintain its restrictive policy on refugees.

The justices on Tuesday agreed to an administration request to block a lower court ruling that would have eased the refugee ban and allowed up to 24,000 refugees to enter the country before the end of October.

The order was not the court's last word on the travel policy that President Donald Trump first rolled out in January. The justices are scheduled to hear arguments on Oct. 10 on the legality of the bans on travelers from six mostly Muslim countries and refugees anywhere in the world.

It's unclear, though, what will be left for the court to decide. The 90-day travel ban lapses in late September and the 120day refugee ban will expire a month later.

White House spokeswoman Sarah

Huckabee Sanders said Tuesday night: "We are pleased that the Supreme Court has allowed key components of the order to remain in effect. We will continue to vigorously defend the order leading up to next month's oral argument in the Supreme Court."

The administration has yet to say whether it will seek to renew the bans, make them permanent or expand the travel ban to other countries.

Lower courts have ruled that the bans violate the Constitution and federal immigration law. The high court has agreed to review those rulings. Its intervention so far has been to evaluate what parts of the policy can take effect in the meantime.

The justices said in June that the administration could not enforce the bans against people who have a "bona fide" relationship with people or entities in the United States. The justices declined to define the required relationships more

precisely.

A panel of the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a district judge's order that would have allowed refugees to enter the United States if a resettlement agency in the U.S. had agreed to take them in.

The administration objected, saying the relationship between refugees and resettlement agencies shouldn't count.

The high court's unsigned, one-sentence order agreed with the administration, at least for now.

The appeals court also upheld another part of the judge's ruling that applies to the ban on visitors from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

Grandparents and cousins of people already in the U.S. can't be excluded from the country under the travel ban, as the Trump administration had wanted.

The administration did not ask the Supreme Court to block that part of the ruling.

Amid NKorea crisis, Mattis focuses on US doomsday arsenal

By ROBERT BURNS AP National Security Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — As North Korea flaunts its new nuclear muscle, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis is spotlighting the overwhelming numerical superiority of America’s doomsday arsenal.

On Wednesday he is dropping in on ground zero of American nuclear firepower: Minot Air Force base in North Dakota, home to more than 100 landbased nuclear missiles as well as nuclear bomb-toting aircraft. He also will receive briefings at Strategic Command, whose top officer would command nuclear forces in war.

The visits were scheduled before a recent series of North Korean nuclear and missile tests, but they give Mattis a chance to highlight what the Air Force touts as an always-ready fleet of landbased missiles and B-52 bombers equipped to deliver nuclear devastation to nearly any point on the globe in short order.

Minot and Strategic Command headquarters at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska also are timely backdrops for a related political message: The Trump administration intends to press ahead with a multibillion-dollar modernization of the entire nuclear arsenal. The Pentagon is in the midst of an in-depth review of nuclear weapons policy, but it seems already clear that upgrading the Cold War-era nuclear force is a foregone conclusion.

Last month the Pentagon signaled its intentions by awarding two key contracts. One was to Northrop Grumman and Boeing, totaling nearly $700 million, for further development of an intercontinental ballistic missile, or ICBM, to replace the Minuteman 3. The other was to Lockheed Martin and Raytheon for $1.8 billion to work on a new nuclear-armed, air-launched cruise missile.

The Air Force also is proceeding with development of a next-generation nuclear-capable bomber, dubbed the B-21

DEFENSE SECRETARY JIM MATTIS Raider, and the Navy is building a new fleet of strategic nuclear submarines.

How this fits into the broader defense budget in coming years is unclear.

Kingston Reif, a nuclear policy specialist at the Arms Control Association, says his analysis of budget figures suggests that the total cost over 30 years could approach $1.5 trillion, when adjusting for inflation.

“The current approach exceeds what is necessary for deterrence and assumes that the United States will maintain a nuclear arsenal like the one it has now for decades to come,” Reif said, noting the Obama administration had determined that the nuclear arsenal could be cut further without sacrificing security.

Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson said in an Associated Press interview on Monday that there is no practical alternative to modernizing the force.

“At some point, stuff just breaks,” she said, referring to the Minuteman 3, which was first deployed in 1970. “The materials just are not able to be maintained anymore.”

Mattis in recent weeks has all but dismissed the idea — he himself raised it in congressional testimony two years ago — that the country might be better off eliminating the ICBM fleet. In June, the Air Force finished reducing the number of Minuteman 3 missiles by 50 to a total of 400, the lowest since 1962. But Mattis appears to have been persuaded by the argument that keeping ICBMs deployed in underground silos sprinkled across the western Great Plains is key to

deterrence because an attacker would have to use hundreds of weapons to destroy all 400 launch facilities.

“It’s going to soak up a lot” of an enemy’s arsenal, he said last month, referring to the Minuteman launch sites in North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and Nebraska. Because these are fixed sites known to an adversary, they are easily targeted, although perhaps not easily destroyed.

Minot hosts the 91st Missile Wing, which operates one-third of the nation’s 400 Minuteman 3 missiles, as well as the 5th Bomb Wing, which flies nuclearcapable B-52 bombers.

Minot in recent years was at the center of trouble in the ICBM force, including lapses in morale, training, performance and management. The Air Force has made an effort since 2014 to correct those weaknesses, which had accumulated over a period of years, with little attention from Congress.

Mattis himself has been something of a nuclear skeptic. Pentagon leaders usually are cheerleaders for the nuclear establishment, in part because it has been at the heart of U.S. security strategy for many decades and in part because it is politically unpopular to question the way that establishment manages the nuclear force. In his 41-year Marine Corps career, which ended in 2013, Mattis was never closely involved in nuclear strategy, but he has said that during his post-military stint as a visiting fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution he gave nuclear policy a lot of thought.

On a visit last month to Naval Base Kitsap at Bangor, Washington, which is home to Pacific-based Trident nuclear submarines, Mattis repeated the familiar assertion that the Pentagon’s No. 1 priority is to maintain a nuclear force sufficient to ensure that the weapons are never needed in combat, adding darkly, “If they are, that fight is over with very, very quickly, as we try to restore some kind of health to this planet.”

Student Loans

Continued from Page 4

Department approved about $655 million in loan cancellations for their students.

Under DeVos, no claims have been approved since she came to office seven months ago, according to Manning's July response to questions from Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, who is part of a group of lawmakers pressuring her to accelerate the process. The department is in the process of discharging loans for claims that had been approved by the previous administration.

Among the claims still pending are more than 45,000 filed

by Corinthian students and over 7,000 by ITT students.

DeVos is working on rewriting two Obama-era regulations that were meant to prevent colleges from misrepresenting their services to students and from failing to provide them with an education that would enable them to find jobs.

In an interview with the AP last month, DeVos said, "Let's be clear, no student should be defrauded, and in case of fraud there should be remedy. But we also know this approach has been unevenly applied, and if there's going to be regulation around some institutions we believe it needs to be fairly applied across the board."

Democratic attorneys general from 18 states and the District of Columbia filed suit against DeVos in July over the rules, which were finalized under President Barack Obama and scheduled to take effect July 1.

"Since Day One of the Trump administration, Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos and the administration have sided with for-profit schools over students," Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey told reporters at the time.

"It seems more like they are trying to protect the industry than trying to help borrowers," said Clare McCann, deputy director for federal higher education policy with New America, a Washington-based think tank.

DeVos' announcement about the Schmoke hiring was met with criticism by Democrats. Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut tweeted, "This is a joke, right?"

The department defended its decision, saying Schmoke served only in an academic capacity at DeVry and was not involved in admissions, recruitment or corporate administrative activities.

Other Trump administration agencies also have hired staffers who previously worked on behalf of the industry they now regulate. For example, Nancy Beck, deputy assistant administrator at the Environmental Protection Agency, used to work at the American Chemistry Council, the industry's leading trade group.

Massachusetts officer charged with intimidating teen boy SPRINGFIELD, Mass.

(AP) — A Massachusetts police officer is facing criminal charges after a violent off-duty confrontation with a 15-year-old boy outside a mall.

Springfield Officer Daniel Cintron was released on personal recognizance after pleading not guilty Tuesday to unarmed robbery, assault and battery, and witness intimidation.

Prosecutors say the 28-year-old Cintron and another man confronted the teen at Springfield's Eastfield Mall last month over text messages he exchanged with the other man's sister.

Prosecutors say Cintron was off-duty but wore his badge and carried a department-issued gun to intimidate the teen. The other man allegedly punched the teen and stole his cellphone.

Cintron's lawyer said his client surrendered when he found out there was a warrant for his arrest.

He was been suspended for five days without pay pending a disciplinary hearing.

Massachusetts AG Healey to sue credit reporting firm Equifax BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey has filed notice of her intent to sue the credit reporting company Equifax after the company announced 143 million Americans had their information exposed — including Social Security numbers, birthdates and address histories.

Healey, a Democrat, said Tuesday the Equifax breach "may be the most brazen failure to protect consumer data" her office has seen.

Healey will allege in the lawsuit Equifax did not maintain safeguards needed to protect data in violation of Massachusetts consumer protection and data privacy laws.

Healey said Equifax failed to guard personal information of up to nearly three million Massachusetts residents.

Equifax has blamed an unspecified "website application vulnerability" in the attack.

State law requires the attorney general's office to send a five-day notice to companies it intends to sue.

COOKING ON DEADLINE

This Aug. 16, 2017 photo shows a pear tarte tatin in New York.

This dish is from a recipe

by Katie Workman.

Pear Tarte Tatin

By KATIE WORKMAN Associated Press Taxi cab confession: Before now, I had never made a tarte tatin. It sounded just plain scary — flipping a pan over so that the fruit ends up on top and the crust ends up on the bottom. Such drama! Why would anyone put themselves through such angst?

But there I was just minding my own business, and suddenly it was pear season, and the voluptuous, colorful, squatty fruits were everywhere. I bought some puff pastry, gave myself a big old pep talk, and turned up the music. An hour later, my first pear tatin was a success. A few pears stuck to the pan when I inverted it, but I pulled them off and settled them back into place on the tarte, and no one was the wiser.

And while I will have to accomplish a few more successful tarte tatins to feel as though it is no longer intimidating, I am now on my way. I can envision that day when I will be able to say with casual confidence: "Oh, can I bring a dessert? How about a tarte tatin?"

You want your pears to be just ripe, but not soft. They need to hold their shape in the baking. Buy yourself some good ice cream for this — you and your tarte tatin deserve it.

In closing, I take a moment yet again to profess my abiding love for premade puff pastry. I may be excited to add tarte tatins to my repertoire, but I'm pretty far away from wanting to make my own puff pastry.

PEAR TARTE TATIN SERVES 6 TO 8 START TO FINISH: 1 HOUR 1/2 cup sugar 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

(Sara E Crowder/Katie Workman via AP)

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 4 just-ripe but firm Anjou or Barlett pears All-purpose flour for rolling out the pastry 1 sheet (1/2 of a 17/3 ounce package) puff pastry, either refrigerated and cool, or, if frozen, thawed according to package directions but still slightly chilled Vanilla ice cream or sweetened whipped cream to serve Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a 10-inch, heavy ovenproof skillet, preferably cast iron, stir together the sugar with 2 tablespoons of water. Cook over medium heat, without stirring, until the mixture starts to turn a golden color, about 6 minutes. Stir in the butter, and continue stirring occasionally until the mixture is a rich golden color, but not too dark. Stir in the lemon juice.

While the sugar mixture is cooking, slice the pears in half, then into quarters, remove the cores with a paring knife, and cut the halves lengthwise into two thick slices each (so, eight slices total per pear). When the sugar mixture is golden, arrange the pear slices in concentric circles in the pan. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook until the pears are slightly tender, about 3 minutes.

Meanwhile, lightly flour a clean work surface. Roll out the puff pastry to a square slightly larger than the pan's diameter. Trim the pastry into a circle just barely larger than the circumference of the pan, and prick the puff pastry in several places with a fork. Place the pastry over the pears and carefully tuck the edges around the tops of the pears (you may want to use a rubber spatula, as the pan will be hot). Bake for about 25 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Place the pan on a wire rack and let cool for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the skillet, place a serving plate (larger than the pan) on top of it, and carefully invert the tarte tatin onto the plate. If any pears cling to the pan, remove them and place them back in their rightful spots. Let cool a bit more, and then serve warm, with ice cream or sweetened

Irma cancels honeymoon, postpones funeral, disrupts trips

By BETH J. HARPAZ AP Travel Editor A canceled honeymoon, a postponed funeral, an "evacuation vacation" and a fall foliage trip substituting for a beach getaway.

These are some of the ways in which Hurricane Irma affected travelers. Long-held plans were disrupted, hours were spent seeking refunds for airfare and hotels and in a few cases, a happy alternative was found.

Here are a few stories.

EVACUATION VACATION Lesley Cohen, a travel agent with SmartFlyer, not only rebooked lots of clients whose travel plans were disrupted by Hurricane Irma, but she also booked herself an "evacuation vacation."

Cohen has a waterfront home in a Tampa, Florida, flood zone but didn't want to be on the road. She decided to try to fly out, but the only place she could get tickets for was San Francisco. So she planned a last-minute trip there with her daughters, 6 and 8, who "had never been on a flight that long in their lives," and her mom.

With help from friends in the travel industry, and using points wherever she could, she booked a hotel and planned an itinerary that included the Japanese tea garden, the Golden Gate Bridge, Lombard Street and more. "It helped to be distracted," she said.

She noted that she'd had a lot of clients "coming to me, freaking out" about disrupted cruises, flights and more. "We always talk about this with our clients," she said. "Things happen, it's out of our control. So you try to make the best of it."

FALL COLORS INSTEAD OF THE BEACH Renee McFerron and her husband were supposed to be hunting for seashells in Florida later this month. Instead they'll be enjoying fall colors on a road trip in their home state of Colorado.

"I worked on this plan for months," McFerron said, recounting her research for the aborted Florida trip. "I happened to see this airfare sale on Frontier. I looked up hurricane season. It said the end of September was the tail end of hurricane season. I said, 'Surely I'll be OK.' It didn't turn out to be so OK." They'd planned to fly in and out of Fort Myers, Florida, rent a car, stay at beach hotels and then drive to Key West. She canceled when she saw the hurricane forecast because if she waited until after it hit, she wouldn't get her money back.

"Why go ahead with a vacation that could be a total disaster and risk losing deposits?" she said. But it took hours on the phone and online with the airline and two hotel booking sites

In this Sept. 8, 2017, file photo, a monitor is shown listing cancelled flights at Miami International Airport in Miami.

(Wilfredo Lee/AP Photo, File) to get all the refunds straightened out.

"My lesson learned was I'm not using these third-party (hotel booking) websites anymore," she said. "It was really a learning experience."

and a service for her grandfather "has been postponed indefinitely until we can figure out what is going on down there."

STRESS ON TOP OF MOURNING

Kelli Howard of Tulsa, Oklahoma, is getting married in January and planned a honeymoon in St. Thomas. "We didn't want to do the typical Mexico resort thing," she said. "We had an Airbnb all picked out and were really excited about it." But the hurricane "changed our plans. ... We were worried that things on the island wouldn't be rebuilt in time."

They couldn't reach the Airbnb owners, but because they canceled so far in advance, they got a full refund.

"We're flying to San Francisco instead," Howard said. "We'll do a lot of food tourism. We love pretending we're like Anthony Bourdain, traveling and going to restaurants."

Kim Gorode's family planned to fly to Florida this past weekend for her grandfather's funeral. Instead, her dad drove her newly widowed grandmother north, away from her home in Boynton Beach, as the hurricane approached.

"Part of a funeral is to get closure," Gorode said. "Not only have we not been able to get closure, but there were new levels of stress and worries."

Now that everyone is safe, stress levels are down but it's still "very strange and unsettling." Damage to the house is unknown

She also holds smaller, “flash” hikes which are organized the week before. All of them are posted on social media. She tries to do at least one hike a week, year-round. This winter, she plans to offer more cross-country ski and snow shoe hikes.

“So many people are involved in it and want to go, that’s why I’ve been doing more and more. They’re all free,” Massa said.

She posts hike information on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook at Western Mass Hilltown Hikers. She also posts information about other group hikes in the area.

Sanders bill expands Medicare for all, lacks details on cost WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans would get health coverage simply by showing a new government-issued card and would no longer owe out-of-pocket expenses like deductibles, according to legislation Sen. Bernie Sanders released Wednesday.

But the Vermont independent's description of the legislation omitted specifics about how much it would cost and final decisions about how he would pay for it.

Sanders was releasing his bill on the same day Republican senators were rolling out details of a last-ditch effort to repeal and replace President Barack Obama's health care law.

In an interview, Sanders said Tuesday that his measure would likely be paid for in a "progressive way." Aides said it would likely be financed by income-adjusted premiums people would pay the government, ranging from no premiums for the poorest Americans to high levies on the rich and corporations.

The measure has no chance of becoming law with President Donald Trump in the White House and Republicans controlling Congress. But it embodies a push to universal coverage that eluded Obama's 2010 law and is a tenet of the Democratic Party's liberal, activist base.

"I think in a democracy, we should be doing what the American people want," Sanders said, citing polls showing growing support for the concept.

His bill would expand Medicare, the health insurance program for the elderly, to cover all Americans. It would be phased in over four years, and people and businesses would no longer owe premiums to insurers.

The progressive wing of the Democratic Party backs the bill, which would make health care less expensive and less complicated for many people and businesses. It would cover the 28 million Americans

remaining uninsured despite Obama's law.

But some Democrats fear Sanders is exposing them to a lose-lose choice.

Don't support Sanders' plan and Democrats risk alienating the party's liberal, activist voters, volunteers and contributors.

Back it and they'll be accused by Republicans of backing a huge tax increase and government-run health care, and taking away employer-provided coverage for half the country that many people like.

At least 12 other Senate Democrats signed onto Sanders' bill by late Tuesday, including four potential 2020 presidential contenders besides Sanders: Kamala Harris of California, Massachusetts' Elizabeth Warren, New York's Kirsten Gillibrand and Cory Booker of New Jersey.

To cover themselves, several Democrats are introducing their own bills that expand coverage without going as far as Sanders, including possible presidential aspirants Sens. Chris Murphy of Connecticut and Ohio's Sherrod Brown. Several Democrats facing tough re-elections next year in GOPleaning states say they want to focus on strengthening Obama's existing law, including Montana's Jon Tester and Missouri's Claire McCaskill.

"We welcome the Democrats' strategy of moving even further left," said Katie Martin, spokeswoman for the Senate GOP's campaign organization.

Seven weeks after the GOP drive to uproot Obama's 2010 health care law crashed in the Senate, two Republican senators, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Louisiana's Bill Cassidy, were releasing their plan for trying again.

They've struggled for weeks to round up sufficient support for the package. It would cut and reshape Medicaid, disperse money spent under Obama's law directly to states and erase Obama's penalties on people who

don't purchase coverage.

No. 3 Senate GOP leader John Thune of South Dakota said Graham and Cassidy would need "a double-double bank shot" to prevail, a joking reference to an impossible basketball shot.

Like the failed Senate GOP repeal effort in July, the Graham-Cassidy push will get zero Democratic support. That means Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., will need 50 of the 52 Republican senators, a margin he couldn't reach in July and is struggling to reach now.

Despite badgering by Trump that he keep trying, McConnell has expressed no interest in staging yet another vote that produces an embarrassing rejection by the GOPcontrolled Senate. Conservatives are wary because the bill falls short in erasing Obama's wide-ranging coverage requirements.

"I don't think this bill will go anywhere," said Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. A third effort, a bipartisan attempt to shore up individual insurance markets around the country, is showing early signs that the sides are having problems reaching agreement.

Sens. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., and Patty Murray, D-Wash., hope to reach a deal on continuing for at least a year the federal payments to insurers that Trump has threatened to halt. Republicans are also insisting on easing the Obama law's coverage requirements, which Democrats don't want to do.

Alexander said Tuesday that Republicans want "real state flexibility" to let insurers offer "a larger variety of benefits and payment rules."

Murray said she worried the GOP wants to "wind up increasing out-of-pocket costs for patients and families." That's something Democrats oppose.

Valley Planning Commission recently did a 350 page study on the Highlands Footpaths, which showed 85% private land owner cooperation, Massa said.

In her professional life, Massa is the owner of A1 Sewer and Drain out of East Longmeadow and Russell. A licensed plumber for the past eight years, Massa said opening her own shop four years ago allows her to work full time four days a week, and volunteer the rest.

“It’s that point in my life.

I’m just able to enjoy myself,” Massa said.

Patricia McMahon, Chair, of the Southwick Cultural Council (SCC), announced that the commission will sponsor a bus trip to the New York Botanical Gardens on Sunday, September 17th. to see a special exhibit by glass artist Dale Chihuly.

CHIHULY showcases more than 20 glass work installations and includes drawings and early works in a sensory-filled exhibition. The Garden’s dramatic vistas become a living canvas for work created specifically for the botanical garden showcasing Chihuly’s signature organic shapes in brilliant colors. This is the first exhibit of Chihuly’s work in New York in 10 years.

Cost for the trip is $78.00 for adults and $75.00 for seniors. The bus will leave the Southwick Town Hall at 454 College Highway at 8:00 am, and will depart from the New York Botanical Gardens at 4:00 pm. Please make check payable to the Town of Southwick and note on the memo line “NY bus trip” and mail to Pat McMahon, Southwick Cultural Council, 454 College Highway, Southwick, MA 01077. Payment must be received by September 11, 2017. For more information or questions on the trip, please contact Cindi Warner at 413 831-6161.

Bombers soar

By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Westfield scored three first-half goals, and tacked on two more in the second half en route to a 5-0 win over visiting Northampton in a high school boys’ soccer game Tuesday.

Sam Winiarski took a pass from Aidan Dunn and dribbled past the entire defense, including a fallen goaltender in the 10th minute for the first goal of the game.

Kyle Roberts scored with 15 minutes remaining in the first half. Winiarski tallied his second goal – again from Dunn – five minutes later to make it 3-0.

Four minutes into the second half, Westfield iced it. Tym Ugrin notched the fourth Westfield goal on a pass from Winiarski. Roberts scored the final Westfield goal with about 20 minutes left.

For Ugrin and Roberts, it was their first varsity goals.

“It was good to bounce back from what was an uncharacteristic, lackluster performance from us Saturday against Pittsfield,” Westfield coach Andrew Joseph said. “We were happy with our training session (Monday), and then what we did today as a result.”

Westfield will have an off day before traveling to Belchertown to take on what figures to be another solid Orioles squad.

Herk’s hat trick downs Gators Athol 6, Gateway 2 Athol’s Hayden Herk recorded a hat trick to down Gateway.

Robert Crossiere notched a first-half goal, his first varsity score, and Joe Coon scored in the second half.

Dear Annie

By ANNIE LANE

Dull Sex Life Dear Annie: My wife and I have been married for close to 40 years. Though the sex was never great, it at least used to be enjoyable. Now it is getting pretty disappointing. We have sex about twice a month. The frequency is not great enough for me, but the bigger issue is the way we do it: without much intimacy. That seems to be the way she likes it. There is no passion in our kissing and hasn’t been for at least 20 years. Every couple of weeks, we have sex in the same exact routine fashion. I want to give her pleasure, but she seems to just want to get it over with. I really miss the intimate part of sex, as I love kissing and caressing and appreciating her body.

I also want to state that I have tried to be a model partner to her.

I have always worked, and I am the main breadwinner. It is rare when I have more than one beer, and I only get together with the guys once or twice a year. I am pretty much a homebody, but I do go with my wife to visit her parents, whom we moved to an assisted living facility nearby several years ago. I am in very good shape for a man in his early 60s, and I always stay well-groomed.

I maintain the yard and do at least half the household chores. When the kids were growing up, I did the majority of the chores and taking care of them, as my wife’s job required her to work long hours.

We get along great, with the only complaint being in the bed. We are still too young to have such a mundane sex life. She knows I want more intimacy, but she has no desire to provide it and says she’s content with the way things are. -- Unsatisfied Dear Unsatisfied: One thing that stuck out in your letter is that you get together with your friends only once or twice a year. Being the “model partner” does not mean losing your identity outside of the relationship. Focus a bit more on yourself and doing things you find fun. Perhaps giving your wife a little space will create the room for a desire to grow.

Another thing: Routine in general life patterns can lead to routine in intimacy. You’ve got to change course now and then to switch out of autopilot. Take a trip somewhere you’ve never been.

Pick up a new hobby together. Rediscover excitement together outside the bedroom and it might follow you into it.

Dear Annie: Could I suggest some more advice for “Louise,” the 81-year-old woman depressed by aging? First, write! Transcribe your favorite childhood memories. Describe other family members. Recollect the sweetest times with your children. Commit to paper all the experiences you’d like to relive. If you do, you will never be just a faded photograph a generation from now. To anyone who reads your journals, you will be unforgettable!

Second, don’t settle for any more mindless TV. Look up the Great Courses programs. You can tour almost any culture, past or present, virtually. You can learn about almost any area of study you can think of, from medicine to art to language to cooking. They’re available on CDs at many libraries. Now they also come as DVDs and online as downloadable or streaming videos at http://www. thegreatcourses.com. Aging still has its rewards! -- Learning More Every Day Dear Learning More: Thank you for this recommendation.

There are many affordable programs like The Great Courses available now, including Lynda and Coursera. A passion for learning can light a fire that illuminates all areas of life.

At The Movies

5, 2017. (Photo by Joel Ryan/Invision/AP)

After a hiatus, Pfeiffer returns in ‘mother!’

By JAKE COYLE AP Film Writer NEW YORK (AP) — When Michelle Pfeiffer first read Darren Aronofsky's script for "mother!" she had an understandable initial reaction.

"I thought: What the hell is this?" recalls Pfeiffer.

Aronofsky's film is not in any way typical, nor is the kind of project you'd expect a long-absent actress like Pfeiffer to join as her first big-screen performance in five years. The film, intentionally shrouded in mystery, is a wild and weird odyssey by one of the movies' expert conjurers of dark, surreal dream worlds that suspend its viewers — and often its performers, too — in a vividly atmospheric state of paranoia.

"You don't even know, really, how to talk about it," says Pfeiffer, as if throwing up her hands, in a recent interview.

But one of the many mysteries worth pondering in Darren Aronofsky's allegorical thriller is a simple one: Why don't we see Pfeiffer more often? The good news is that "mother!" represents the start of what may be a kind of renaissance for the 59-year-old actress, whose steely beauty and cool, piercing intelligence remains just as devastating.

"I'm really excited to be back," says Pfeiffer. "Especially having worked with these exciting actors and these directors who I so admire. The most exciting for me is all of these really talented people that I'm able to do movies with."

Along with "mother!" which Paramount Pictures will release Friday, Pfeiffer co-stars in Kenneth Branagh's upcoming, more old-fashioned mystery "Murder on the Orient Express." She has joined the cast of the "Ant-Man" sequel and earlier this year premiered

the Sundance Film Festival entry "Where is Kyra?" in which she plays a woman struggling to survive in Brooklyn on her ailing mother's income.

She also received an Emmy nomination for her cocktail-drinking, chain-smoking Ruth Madoff in Barry Levinson's HBO movie "The Wizard of Lies."

It's a flurry of activity for Pfeiffer, who says she pulled back partially to focus on family. She and her husband, the TV producer David E. Kelley, who live in northern California, have two children. Now an empty-nester, Pfeiffer has eagerly returned to regular work.

"She wasn't on my mind because she hadn't worked for a while," says Aronofsky. "My casting director mentioned that she was interested in working again. I was immediately excited and interested by the idea of it. It's been a while so I wasn't so sure where she was at. But once we started to talk, it was amazing."

Aronofsky ("Black Swan," ''Requiem for a Dream"), long a fan of Pfeiffer, was impressed by her still sharp skills.

"I just wanted to applaud her at different times during the movie because she does things that are so hard to do," he says. "Like those things where someone says something in the moment and you're supposed to react in the moment with surprise or embarrassment and she was doing it take after take."

Jennifer Lawrence stars in the film as the sweet and sensitive wife to Javier Bardem's poet. They live in beautifully natural, labyrinthine house in the country, but they are soon beset by visitors, beginning with a man who shows up at the door (Ed Harris), who's followed by his wife (Pfeiffer) and then others. The movie grows in intensity with the sensation of invasion; Aronofsky con-

ceived it as a kind of allegory for an overrun Mother Earth.

"I have these dreams sometimes," says Pfeiffer. "I'm in some house and I have to be somewhere or I have to do something and I can't get out. I can't find my way out. I know there's some disaster looming ahead and I know it's coming and no one will listen to me.

This is like a really, really bad nightmare. It's like your worst nightmare and you can't wake up from it."

After her Oscar-nominated breakthrough role in 1989's "The Famous Baker Boys," Pfeiffer became one of the top actresses in Hollywood, stringing together a varied filmography including "Dangerous Minds," ''Batman Returns," ''The Age of Innocence" and "What Lies Beneath." That made her intimidating to her younger co-star.

"It took me two days to get over her beauty, and to go up to her and say hi," Lawrence told reporters at the Toronto International Film Festival. "She's very normal. She's a mother. She's a very smart woman."

She is also a still-adventurous actress who was willing to go well out of her comfort zone for "mother!" Pfeiffer considers the film "a real leap of faith" since she went in with only a partial understanding of it, along with a director whom she says would sometimes leave the cast in the dark on the finer points of the drama.

"I went along with things I ordinarily would never have gone along with, like having the rehearsal process filmed," says Pfeiffer. "And honestly, it was thrilling. It's exciting to, after as many films as I've done over so many years, to have a really new and unique experience."

On The Tube Television ratings another casualty of Hurricane Irma NEW YORK (AP) — The ability of television networks to know how many people are watching their programs is one temporary casualty of Hurricane Irma.

The Nielsen company said Tuesday that its ratings information from this past weekend is delayed because the company's processing center in Tampa, Florida, was shut down because of Irma. The company's weekly list of top television programs is usually released Tuesdays, and it's unclear when it will be ready.

Television networks are most anxious to see how ratings held up for football with the start of a new NFL season over the weekend. Viewership was down for the NFL's kickoff game Thursday between New England and Kansas City.

News networks are also curious about how many people watched hurricane coverage, but that's been delayed because of the hurricane, too.

DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Sept. 13, 2017: This year you see many opportunities appear, but you will have to decide quickly whether you want to act on them. Many of your choices could cause discomfort in other areas of your life. You need to know your priorities, so review them frequently. If you are single, you could meet someone of significance closer to the second half of the year.

Take your time getting to know this person. If you are attached, you and your sweetie might experience some tension from the demands in your life together. Make special time for each other. CANCER could feel odd around you, as you aren’t expressive with your emotions.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Return calls, emails and texts.

Your fiery side emerges when dealing with someone who does not agree with you. You actually might get the cold shoulder as a result. Use your impulsiveness to your benefit. Tonight: Think carefully before you try to clear up a problem.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Be willing to allow others to express their thoughts about a project and/or an investment. You will do well relating on a one-on-one level. One person might have difficulty responding, but that has more to do with him or her than it does with you.

Tonight: Visit with friends.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You’ll be close to unstoppable in the morning. By the afternoon, you will sense a change that could be stemming from fatigue. You are likely to become involved in a project that you might not be as enthusiastic about as you would like. Tonight: Buy a treat for yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You will go from being introverted to being rather expressive. Others might not know which side of your personality will greet them. You could have difficulty getting to the bottom of an unanticipated change involving an authority figure. Tonight: Be whimsical and fancy-free.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Use the daylight hours to the max. You will feel as if you cannot be stopped. By mid-afternoon, you will want some downtime in order to complete a project or get a snooze. You project much more positivity than you actually feel. Tonight: Feel free to vanish into the night.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You might be more sensitive to stress than you realize. Not until you have cleared out some of your work will you be able to gain a fresh perspective. Someone around you might be expecting a lot from you. Remind this person that you are only human. Tonight: Say “yes.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You step up to the plate. A conversation or an unexpected twist could hold you back temporarily. Your determination separates you from others, and promises that you will complete what you need to. A friend or loved one could be jealous. Tonight: Make it OK to be a little late.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Handle the particulars of an agreement as early as you can. Field calls later in the day, responding only to those who have relevant information. You might need to share a project more openly to gain the type of feedback you want. Tonight: Where you can hear or play great music.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Others challenge you, but try not to be defensive. Incorporate what seems like a good idea or valid point. Compliment those who accept other points of view. You might opt to work on a one-on-one basis. You find this style of interacting more productive.

Tonight: Accept an offer.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Refuse to take someone else’s words or actions personally. You could find that task hard to carry out, but it will be worth it. In the long run, this person already knows how you feel anyway. Do not ignore an issue around your home. Tonight: Choose a favorite pastime.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Pace yourself, and use your imagination to clear out as much work as you can. A friend can be very negative or difficult.

You are not responsible for changing this person’s mood. An unpredictable call or event will make you smile. Tonight: Go until you are too tired to continue.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You might feel bogged down by a domestic matter in the morning. If you can handle the issue early on, do; otherwise, it could haunt your day. As the day ends, your creativity surges. You might get a surprise involving money, too. Just be careful.

Tonight: Out with a friend.
