Ten years ago: During a visit to sub-Saharan Africa, President Barack Obama addressed Ghana’s Parliament, where he chal-lenged the continent of his ancestors to shed corruption and conflict in favor of peace. Funeral services were held in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, for former NFL star Steve Mc-Nair, who had been shot to death in Nashville a week ear-lier by Sahel Kazemi, who then took her own life.

Five YeArs AGO: House Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers, R-Ky., said that President Barack Obama’s $3.7 billion emergency re-quest to deal with tens of thousands of unaccompanied children arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border was too big to get through the House, as a growing number of Democrats rejected policy changes Republicans were demanding as their price for approving any money.

Driver escapes injury when cactus pierces windshield

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Arizona authorities say a driver escaped injury when his car’s windshield was pierced by the trunk of a saguaro cactus during a wreck Wednesday on the outskirts of Tucson.

Pima County sheriff’s Deputy Daniel Jelineo said the black sports car struck the cactus while crossing a median.

The broken-off cactus ended up par-tially inside the car, with the rest jutting over car’s hood.

Jelineo said deputies detained the driv-er for further investigation after observ-ing signs and symptoms of impairment.

The driver’s identity wasn’t released.

only one in Massachusetts.The first year of the festival, which was intended to be a one-time

event to benefit the restoration of the town’s historic White Church, was held in 1994 at the Blandford Fairgrounds. Continuing on due to popular demand, the festival outgrew the space after five years, moving first to Stanley Park in Westfield, and then in 2004 to Look Park in Florence.

The Glasgow Lands Scottish Festival is now a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization whose purpose is to promote the Scottish cul-ture, to raise funds toward local non-profit organizations and to award Scottish cultural scholarships for Highland dancing and piping.

Blandford resident Peter Langmore, who has chaired the festival for the past 20 years, said the festival still has strong local connec-tions to Blandford, which was founded in 1735 by Scots-Irish Settlers, and to Westfield. For example, the Blandford Fire Department will be on hand to provide EMT and first aid services, he said.

The Festival also donates all profits from the event to both the Forum House in Westfield and River Valley Counseling Center in Holyoke. “Last year, we were able to give each organization $15,000 – a pretty significant amount for any non-profit to be able to donate,” Langmore said.

Asked what the Forum House has been able to do with the dona-tion, representative Sally English said Forum House, a program of Viability Inc., is an accredited clubhouse and as such operates on consensus decision making.

“This means that all members (the people who receive services) and staff have a say in decisions made by the clubhouse, including how we spend our donations! Using this model, our members are empowered to think about what will benefit our program and learn about budgeting. In the past, the donation has been used to purchase bicycles, install an automatic door to increase our accessibility, purchase a new photocopier, and support members in pursuing education,” English said.

“Our members and staff have been volunteering for nearly 15

years at this event and it is something that people looks forward to every year. Our members set-up tents the day before the event and we run the pub, selling cups, tickets, and water, the day of the event,” English said, adding, “One of the goals of our program is to support our members in being involved in the community and developing positive relationships. This event allows our members to do both; we are involved in something fun and meaningful and in working together to complete the tasks we get to really know one another.”

“They provide many volunteers on the day before and day of the Festival, to help with setup and to run the Pub. We could not put on this Festival without their help, and that of other volunteers from River Valley Counseling Center in Holyoke,” Langmore said.

This year, the festival will have an unprecedented 31 pipe bands with over 700 pipers competing and marching at opening ceremo-nies. There will also be ten Drum Majors competing at the festival.

The family fun event also includes children’s athletic games and a water spray park. Many Clans and a genealogist will be present to assist in tracing festival-goers Scottish ancestry. Vendors will be offering a variety of Scottish foods and imports, while beautiful Celtic harp music of the Pioneer Valley Harpers’ Guild will be played throughout. Learn about spinning and weaving from the Weavers’ Guild of Springfield, and relive history with the Historic Highlanders.

For 2019, Glasgow Lands Scottish Festival presents world class Celtic music in the Ceilidh tent from 9:45 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Featured artists Enter the Haggis, “artan Terrors, Albannach, Screaming, Charlie Zahm” and the Northeast Scottish band Shindig will present music ranging from sweet, pure song and boisterous ballads all the way to fiery fiddling and full-blown Celtic rock & roll; tribal drum, and comedy.

Whether sitting in the Ceilidh Tent watching the show, quenching your thirst in the Celtic Pub with local microbrews provided by New City Brewery, Easthampton, or just having a picnic on the grass nearby, plan on enjoying great live Celtic music all day long, Langmore said.

achievements, and results,” according to Deviny.“We will follow this same format at the public forum,” she

added.Deviny noted that the goal of compiling all of the input is to

determine the “top priorities” that people want to see at the Athenaeum.

“This is not a perfect world,” said Deviny, noting budget constraints have to be taken into consideration. “We have to be wise stewards of this building.”

Deviny added that after all input is garnered, she will focus on setting “benchmarks” that are considered “most important” to the public, as well as Athenaeum employees and board members.

“We are hoping that people will turn out for the public forum and be specific with their ideas for the Athenaeum,” said Deviny. “All of this information will help to formalize a really good solid five-year plan.”

For persons unable to attend the public forum, the commu-nity survey is still available online at www.westath.org.

business and will introduce Eastern European liquors and tea cocktails to the menu.

“We don’t have liquor in West Springfield, so this will be new,” he told the Board. “I have someone helping educate me.”

The menu includes breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a focus on crepes. Both savory and sweet crepes top the menu. Sweet crepe fillings include warm honey, puffy cream cheese, farm cheese and peanut butter, among others. Fruit toppings can be added. Savory fillings such as beef, pork, spicy chicken and a variety of vegetables are offered with sauces that include a brown nut sauce, white or red mushroom sauce and house hot sauce.

Ribinskas said they use fresh, local ingredients as much as possible and make everything the old-fashioned way.

“We get milk from a farm in Russell and we make our own farm cheese – we don’t buy pre-made food,” he said. “We make it homemade.”

Ribinskas said the atmosphere of Crepes Tea House is just as important as the food.

“It’s a place where people gather and talk,” he said. “Especially young people who don’t want to party or hang out at McDonald’s.”

Ribinskas said Crepes has a large group of young people from Westfield who talk and drink tea there regularly. He works with the schools and often has student musicians perform as well as a piano player. Ribinskas stressed the music would be indoors only and would serve as background.

The Southwick Crepes Tea House hours of operation will be similar to the West Springfield location, which is 7 a.m. – 11 p.m. Sunday – Thursday, and 7 a.m. – 1 a.m. Friday and Saturday.

Ribinskas said inspectors are scheduled over the next week and a hearing for a special permit is scheduled for next Tuesday.

“We have enjoyed talking to people in Southwick and the town has been good to work with,” he said. “We want to open as soon as possible.”

the purchase of two vehicles, although Cain said they may wait another year.

“It’s a rough and tough world picking up trash and recycla-bles,” said Cain. “It is not unusual for the trucks to break down.”

In a post on cityofwestfield.org, the DPW urged residents to keep putting their recycling barrels out for the normal pickup times, and to leave them there even if they haven’t yet been emptied.

Cain noted that the image of two recycling trucks posted on the city website is not of the two trucks in question, but rather two of their older, already replaced trucks.

The renovation will create two new centers that will connect the university with area schools and businesses.

“The dated, but highly utilized building will be transformed into a state-of-the-art hub for student success and workforce development,” said Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Diane Prusank, Ph.D. “The renovations will create two new centers—the Center for Innovation in Education and Industry Partnerships and the Center for Student Success and Engagement. In addition to benefitting Westfield State stu-dents, the centers will have far-reaching impact beyond the University’s physical campus.”

Parenzo Hall’s Center for Innovation in Education and Industry Partnerships will leverage technology to serve as the nexus for innovative collaboration in the area. WSU will part-ner with K–12 school districts, community colleges, and indus-try partners. According to WSU’s press release, the Center will teach students and community partners how to engage produc-tively in online-hybrid environments that increase flexibility for students, facilitate co-enrollment, expand course choices, and provide a bridge to employment.

The Center for Student Success and Engagement will address the student-outcomes goals of the Vision Project (increasing retention/graduation rates/reducing the achieve-ment gap). The project will also address the continuing decline in the number of working age adults. According to the release, the Center will increase student preparation for advanced learn-ing and support exploration of career pathways in elementary and high schools to prepare them for on-the-job training. New and in-demand certificate programs, as well as advanced study options will be offered to its business partners, utilizing tech-nology.

Several academic departments will also be located in the renovated facility, including Education and Political Science. The state-of-the-art technology and flexible learning spaces will provide enhanced opportunities to better prepare its stu-dents for a complex, changing environment.

“Parenzo Hall has served as an important campus building since Westfield State’s founding. This project will modernize the aging facility and create new environments that will help students thrive on campus and beyond. It is an honor to work with Westfield State and DCAMM to craft improvements that advance their vision for innovation and contribute to student success,” said MDS Principal James Loftus.

WSU received a $21.25 million from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for the renovation in 2018. Westfield State will invest approximately $20 million of University funds into the project.

Groundbreaking for the project is expected in early 2021.

Westfield State University to offer Addiction Counselor Education program

The College of Graduate and Continuing Education at Westfield State University is accepting applications for the 2019–20 Addiction Counselor Education (ACE) program. Classes will be held on weekends and evenings starting in September and ending in May 2020.

The goal of this non-credit certificate program, offered at the University since 1991, is to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and techniques necessary for the successful treatment of individuals and families afflicted by alcoholism and/or other drug addictions. This program has been highly instrumental in the professional development of individuals in the western Massachusetts area whom are either working in or interested in the growing healthcare field of addiction ser-vices.

To help with this mission, Westfield State University has expanded its ACE program to be offered in a new location in Pittsfield. The program aims to train potential counselors in the Berkshires area with the goal of filling critical positions in treatment facilities that are currently understaffed and unable to fill open positions. Classes for the Berkshires program will begin in March 2020 and conclude in November.

Applications for both programs are available online at www.westfield.ma.edu/ace. For more information or to have an application mailed to you, contact Brandon Fredette at [email protected] or 413-572-8033.

‘It will not be easy’: Dems prepare for their Mueller moment

By MARY CLARE JALONICK and LISA MASCAR Associated PressWASHINGTON (AP) — Some are watching old video of

his previous testimony. Others are closely re-reading his 448-page report. And almost all are worrying about how they’ll make the most of the short time they’ll have for questioning.

Robert Mueller, the Democrats know, will be tough to crack.The stern, reticent former FBI director has said he won’t

answer questions beyond what is in the report on Russia’s elec-tion meddling and the Trump campaign and possible obstruc-tion of justice when he comes to Congress on July 17.

Mueller is expected to testify in front of the Judiciary and intelligence committees for two hours each, with time split evenly between Republicans and Democrats, though that tim-ing is still a subject of negotiations. That means Democrats will have to be efficient and targeted in their attempts to extract information from the former special counsel and spotlight what they say are his most damaging findings against President Donald Trump.

“It will not be easy,” said Rhode Island Rep. David Cicilline, a Democratic member of the Judiciary Committee. He added: “We just have to be very smart about how we use the time and really give the special counsel the time to tell the story.”

Cicilline says he’s reading the report a second time, thor-oughly, with an eye toward what he wants to ask.

Separately, a Democratic aide said staff members have been watching old videos of Mueller testifying as FBI director dur-ing the administrations of Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama. They’re looking to see how he’ll act, the aide said, and they have noticed he gives minimal commentary when answering questions. The aide was not authorized to discuss internal preparations for the hearing and requested anonymity.

Wary of their challenging witness, Democratic members of the Judiciary Committee huddled Wednesday evening to dis-cuss strategy for questioning Mueller, along with other topics. Exactly how the hearing will be structured is still being negoti-ated, members said as they emerged, but Democrats are expected to divvy up the questions in a methodical way

Among the topics up for discussion as the hearing approach-es: Should they work through the report step by step, or paint a general picture? Will every member be able to speak in the short time they have? And what can they do to best crystalize the findings of a report that they believe Americans haven’t read or absorbed?

New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, a member of the panel, said before the meeting that he expects to discuss “what the team strategy is going to be as we begin an intensive phase of preparation.”

Republicans seem to have given it less thought. Ohio Rep. Steve Chabot, a senior GOP member of Judiciary, said he hasn’t started preparing and expects little news from the event. He said Democrats are just “chasing their tails” and are aiming to placate base voters who want to see the Democratic House majority take on the president.

“It’s possible a few people could change their opinion, but overall I think it’s not likely,” Chabot said.

The Judiciary Committee is expected to focus on the second half of Mueller’s report, which details multiple episodes in which Trump attempted to influence the investigation. Mueller said he couldn’t exonerate the president on obstruction of jus-tice.

The House’s intelligence panel, which will go second, will focus on the first half of the report, which details Russian inter-ference in the presidential election. Mueller said there wasn’t enough evidence to establish a conspiracy between Russia and the Trump campaign, but detailed several contacts between the two as well as the Trump campaign’s willingness to accept Russian help.

Under a deal struck with the committees, two of Mueller’s deputies — James Quarles and Aaron Zebley — are expected to meet with the panels in separate closed sessions after Mueller’s public hearing. But that might be in jeopardy as the Justice Department has pushed back on the arrangement, according to two people familiar with the negotiations. They requested anonymity to discuss the private talks.

The chairman of the intelligence panel, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said Tuesday said he wouldn’t discuss the details of those negotiations, but that the deputies have agreed to appear and “I have no reason to believe that will be unsuccessful.”

One issue that Judiciary members are expected to focus on is whether Mueller will state whether Trump would have been charged with a crime were he not president. Jeffries said that answer could “strike to the heart of why a prosecution or rec-ommendation to prosecute wasn’t included in the report.”

Mueller said at a May news conference that charging a president with a crime was “not an option” because of long-standing Justice Department policy. But Democrats want to know more about how he made that decision, and when.

It’s unclear if he will go beyond his previous comments. Mueller, who was reluctant to testify at all, has been firm that he will stick to what’s already in the report.

Some lawmakers say that’s OK and just want to reach a broader audience of Americans who they fear have tuned out.

“This isn’t a question of creating a narrative,” said Florida Rep. Ted Deutch, another Democrat on the Judiciary Committee. “The narrative is already out there. It’s simply highlighting what is already there.”

Facing calls for resignation, Acosta defends Epstein deal

By JILL COLVIN and RICHARD LARDNER Associated PressWASHINGTON (AP) — Trying to tamp down calls for his res-

ignation, Labor Secretary Alex Acosta on Wednesday defended his handling of a sex-trafficking case involving now-jailed financier Jeffrey Epstein, insisting he got the toughest deal he could at the time.

In a nearly hour-long news conference, Acosta retraced the steps that federal prosecutors took in the case when he was U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida a decade ago, insisting that “in our heart we were trying to do the right thing for these victims.” He said prosecutors were working to avoid a more lenient arrangement that would have allowed Epstein to “walk free.”

“We believe that we proceeded appropriately,” he said, a conten-tion challenged by critics who say Epstein’s penalty was egre-giously light.

The episode reignited this week when federal prosecutors in New York brought a new round of child sex-trafficking charges against the wealthy hedge fund manager. And on Wednesday, a new accuser stepped forward to say Epstein raped her in his New York mansion when she was 15.

Jennifer Araoz, now 32, told “Today” she never went to police because she feared retribution from the well-connected Epstein. She now has filed court papers seeking information from Epstein in preparation for suing him.

While the handling of the case arose during Acosta’s confirma-tion hearings, it has come under fresh and intense scrutiny after the prosecutors in New York brought their charges on Monday, alleg-ing Epstein abused dozens of underage girls in the early 2000s, paying them hundreds of dollars in cash for massages, then molest-ing them at his homes in Florida and New York. Epstein has pleaded not guilty to the charges; if convicted he could be impris-oned for the rest of his life.

Acosta’s lawyerly presentation was an effort to push back against growing criticism of his work in a secret 2008 plea deal that let Epstein avoid federal prosecution on charges that he molested teenage girls. A West Palm Beach judge found this year that the deal had violated the Crime Victims’ Rights Act because the vic-tims were not informed or consulted.

He was also out to persuade President Donald Trump to keep him on the job as Democratic presidential candidates and party leaders called for his ouster.

Acosta insisted his office did the best it could under the circum-stances a decade ago. He said state authorities had planned to go after Epstein with charges that would have resulted in no jail time until his office intervened and pressed for tougher consequences, a contention that is supported by the record. The alternative, he said, would have been for federal prosecutors to “roll the dice” and hope to win a conviction.

“We did what we did because we wanted to see Epstein go to jail,” Acosta said. “He needed to go to jail.”

But Epstein only was given 13 months in a work-release pro-gram, which let him work out of the jail six days a week. Acosta said it was “entirely appropriate” to be outraged about that lenien-cy, but he blamed that on Florida authorities. “Everything the vic-tims have gone through in these cases is horrific,” he said, while repeatedly refusing to apologize to them.

“I think it’s important to stand up for the prosecutors” in his old office, he said.

His account did not sit well with Barry Krischer, who was the Palm Beach County attorney during the case. Krischer, a Democrat, said Acosta “should not be allowed to rewrite history.”

Acosta’s South Florida office had gotten to the point of drafting an indictment that could have sent Epstein to federal prison for life. But it was never filed, leading to Epstein’s guilty plea to two state prostitution-related charges. In addition to the work-release jail sentence, Epstein was required to make payments to victims and register as a sex offender.

Krischer said the federal indictment was “abandoned after secret negotiations between Mr. Epstein’s lawyers and Mr. Acosta.” He added: “If Mr. Acosta was truly concerned with the State’s case and felt he had to rescue the matter, he would have moved forward with the 53-page indictment that his own office drafted.”

Acosta has said he welcomes the new case, and earlier defended himself on Twitter, crediting “new evidence and additional testi-mony” uncovered by prosecutors in New York for providing “an important opportunity to more fully bring him to justice.”

Pressed on whether he had any regrets, Acosta repeatedly sug-gested that circumstances had changed since the case arose. “We now have 12 years of knowledge and hindsight and we live in a very different world,” he said. “Today’s world treats victims very, very differently.”

Trump has, so far, also defended Acosta, praising his work as labor secretary and saying he felt “very badly” for him “because I’ve known him as being somebody that works so hard and has done such a good job.”

Though Trump may have made the tagline “You’re fired!” famous on his reality show “The Apprentice,” he has shown a pat-tern of reluctance to fire even his most embattled aides. Trump, for instance, took months to dismiss Scott Pruitt as Environmental Protection Agency administrator despite a dizzying array of scan-dals, and allowed Jeff Sessions to remain as attorney general for more than a year even as he railed at and belittled him.

Trump typically gives his Cabinet secretaries the opportunity to defend themselves publicly in interviews and press conferences before deciding whether to pull the plug. Indeed, he encouraged Acosta to hold Wednesday’s press conference laying out his think-ing and involvement in the plea deal, according to a senior admin-istration official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.

Speaker Pelosi implores Democrats to unify, warning of dangers ahead

By LISA MASCARO Associated PressWASHINGTON (AP) — At a pivotal moment Wednesday,

Speaker Nancy Pelosi stood before House Democrats with a lofty message and a stark warning.

The battle-born leader implored her majority, after days of high-profile public infighting, to focus on common goals — including defeating President Donald Trump — and to silence the sniping that threatens their fragile hold on power.

The lengthy closed-door session underscored the broader divisions between her centrist and liberal members — and between Pelosi and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with her “squad” of star-power freshmen — that are testing party unity and reshaping Democrats ahead of the 2020 election.

“Without that unity, we are playing completely into the hands of the other people,” Pelosi said, according to a person who was in the meeting room but not authorized to talk pub-licly about the internal discussion.

“We’re a family and we have our moments,” Pelosi told col-leagues. “You got a complaint? You come and talk to me about it. But do not tweet about our members and expect us to think that that is just OK.”

Then came the very Pelosi-like hammer to those who may want to publicly attack the members who make up her major-ity: “Think twice,” she said. “Actually, don’t think twice. Think once.”

Ocasio-Cortez arrived late to the session and did not speak, according to a second person who attended the session.

But she didn’t need to. AOC, as she is called, had already delivered her own lengthy pre-buttal to The New Yorker in which she decried the consolidation of power in Congress and urged her party to be bold about their priorities in ways that voters will hear.

“I think we became the party of hemming and hawing and trying to be all things to everybody,” said Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.

“We’re too often afraid of our own values and sticking up for them. ... And so one of the things that I wanted to do was to hold a strong line,” she said. “I don’t think we should be afraid of being the party of FDR. I don’t think we should be afraid of being the party of working people.”

The tension between the most powerful Democrat in the country and one of the party’s newest, most liberal members embodies a debate over how best, in style and substance, to defeat Trump and win the next election.

Six months into the House Democrats new majority, the flare-up is now challenging the House agenda and rippling across the campaign trail.

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., the caucus chairman, down-played the rift after the morning meeting. “It’s all puppies and rainbows,” he told reporters.

One test will come this week on a must-pass defense bill that the White House has threatened to veto. Democrats will

be forced to unify to pass the bill on their own, without GOP support. Another test will be former special counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony next week in a high-stakes hearing amid rising calls for Trump’s impeachment.

Pelosi, who has tamped down efforts to start impeachment proceedings in favor of a more methodical approach to confront-ing the administration, drew applause in Wednesday’s private session. Other lawmakers, some first-term members, including Virginia’s Rep. Abigail Spanberger, who helped flip Republican seats to the Democratic column in 2018, also made the case for playing on the same team and keeping the internal drama private, another person in the room said.

Yet, about the same time, Justice Democrats, a group aligned with Ocasio-Cortez, was sending out notice that it was backing primary challengers to several congressional Democrats ahead of next year’s elections. They’re targeting incumbents in Texas, Missouri and a House committee chairman in New York.

“We want to focus on building this new generation of leader-ship that actually champions solutions that match the scale, scope and urgency of the crisis we’re facing,” said Alexandra Rojas, the group’s executive director.

It’s “hypocritical,” she said, for Pelosi to make a plea for unity while catering to the views of centrist Democrats over progres-sives, particularly while refusing to bring forward articles of impeachment against Trump.

Pelosi and Ocasio-Cortez don’t talk to each other much. They haven’t spoken since earlier this year. But they’re talking at each other in a power struggle that’s now rippling through the party.

For Pelosi allies, her offhand dismissal in a newspaper inter-view over the weekend of Ocasio-Cortez and three other liberal first-term lawmakers who opposed a border security package was a necessary comeuppance for “the squad” of newcomers who are trying to push the party leftward.

In the speaker’s world, the foursome — Ocasio-Cortez and Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich. — lack what Pelosi often calls “the cur-rency of the realm,” the power to turn their high-volume activ-ism into a coalition of votes to pass legislation. The tweets from some of Ocasio-Cortez’s staff against Democrats who supported the bill were seen as out of line.

But for fans of Ocasio-Cortez, including some of her millions of social media followers, Pelosi’s remarks were nothing short of a patronizing slap-back to four women of color who represent the future of the Democratic Party, as well as a stark example of its generational and demographic transition. Their four lonely votes against the bill were portrayed as a principled stand, with more to come.

BOSTON (AP) — The American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts has filed a lawsuit seeking information about how the state transportation department uses its driv-er’s license database for face surveillance purposes.

The ACLU said Wednesday it filed public records requests in February and April seek-ing more information, including about the sharing of the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles’ database.

The ACLU said the department hasn’t

responded to either request.The transportation department issued a

statement Wednesday saying the registry “cooperates with law enforcement on specific case by case queries related to criminal inves-tigations, but does not provide system access to federal authorities and is not negotiating to do so.”

The ACLU is pushing a bill that would “hit pause” on the use of facial recognition tech-nology by police and public agencies in Massachusetts.

By STEVE LeBLANC Associated PressBOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts

Gov. Charlie Baker proposed legislation Wednesday that would push ride-hailing companies like Uber and Lyft to provide more information about where and when they’re picking up and dropping off rid-ers.

Baker said the bill would give cities and towns better data to plan for the explosive growth of the companies, which comes amid increasing frustration with traffic congestion, particularly in the metropolitan Boston area.

The bill includes public safety mea-sures, like tougher penalties for the prac-tice of “account renting,” or letting an individual who has not been approved by the state use an approved ride-hailing driver’s account. The state conducts background checks on drivers.

The bill would also make it a criminal offense for a driver to exploit the per-sonal information of a rider to stalk, harass or defraud that rider.

“You are providing someone with a professional service, period, and that should be the beginning and the end of your relationship,” the Republican gov-ernor said.

Massachusetts has seen the number of ride-hailing trips soar from 64.8 million in 2017 to 83.1 million in 2018. There are more than 210,500 approved ride-hailing drivers in the state. Baker said the number of trips could climb to 100 million rides this year.

The vast number of rides occur in a relatively small number of communities. In 2017, more than half of all rides were in just three cities — Boston, Cambridge and Somerville.

Baker said the data collected about where and when rides began or ended would not include personal information about riders.

“It’s just numbers,” he said.He said communities could take that

data and decide to create designated pick-up and drop-off locations for ride-hailing companies at peak times to diminish the problem of cars stopping in the middle of the street and clogging up roads when picking up riders.

The information would also be avail-able to state agencies but would not be publicly available.

The data would also include the make, model and year of the car to help the state come up with data on total vehicle emissions from ride-hailing trips.

Uber spokeswoman Alix Anfang said the company looks forward to reviewing the bill and working with Baker and state lawmakers.

“There’s nothing more important to Uber than the safety of the people we serve,” Anfang said in a written state-ment.

Lyft spokeswoman Campbell Matthews also said that safety is funda-mental for the company but said Lyft is worried about other elements of the proposal, including the collection of information on trips.

“We have concerns with the extensive data the Administration is asking for, as we believe it may put the privacy of our rider community at risk,” Matthews said in a statement.

Baker said he doesn’t envision cap-ping the number of ride-hailing drivers. He said the ride-hailing services are popular and have benefits, including allowing people to get home after a night out without driving a car.

Under existing state law, ride-hailing companies pay a 20-cent per ride assess-ment that is distributed among cities and towns where the rides occur. In 2018, those fees amounted to more than $16 million.

State to direct money returned from GE sale to housing

BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts plans to use $86 million it received through the sale of General Electric’s Boston headquarters to fund an affordable housing program.

Gov. Charlie Baker’s admin-istration announced Tuesday that $60 million will go toward hundreds of new homes for first-time homebuyers with moderate incomes. The remaining funds will be direct-ed toward the creation of 260 new rental units.

GE announced in February that it was downsizing its world headquarters in Boston and would return money that Massachusetts spent as part of an incentives package to lure the company from Connecticut in 2016. The company decided to sell a waterfront parcel it had originally eyed for a 12-story office building.

Baker also continues to seek passage of legislation he says will address a statewide short-age of affordable housing.

Hyper • Local When it comes to 21st century multimedia platforms, “hyper local” is a term you hear a lot.

It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newspapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore.

But, day in and day out, The Westfield News provides consistant coverage of the stories you need to know about, that are important to your city, town, neighborhood and home.

GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. (AP) — Jim Bouton, the former New York Yankees pitcher who shocked and angered the conser-vative baseball world with the tell-all book “Ball Four,” has died. He was 80.

Bouton’s family said he died Wednesday at the Great Barrington home he shared with wife Paula Kurman. He fought a brain dis-ease linked to dementia and was in hospice care. Bouton also had two strokes in 2012.

Published in 1970, “Ball Four” detailed Yankees great Mickey Mantle’s carousing, and the use of stimulants in the major leagues. Bouton’s revealing look at baseball off the field made for eye-opening and entertaining reading, but he paid a big price for the best-seller when former teammates and players and executives across baseball ostracized him for exposing their secrets. He wasn’t invited to the Yankees’ Old-Timers’ Day until 1998

Throwing so hard that his cap often flew off his head, Bouton was 21-8 with six shut-outs in 1963 — his second season in the majors and his only year as an All-Star — and went 18-13 with four more shutouts in 1964. The Yankees lost the World Series both years, with Bouton losing his lone start in 1963 in New York’s loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers, and winning twice the following

year in the Yankees’ loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.

Bouton injured his right arm in 1965, going 4-15 that season, and saw limited action the next three seasons with New York. He worked on “Ball Four” in 1969, a season spent with the expansion Seattle Pilots and Houston Astros, his fastball replaced by a knuckleball as he tried to prolong his career.

Nicknamed Bulldog, Bouton also pitched for Houston in 1970. He returned to the majors with the Atlanta Braves in 1978, going 1-3 at age 39. He finished his 10-year career with a 62-63 record and 3.57 ERA.

Bouton was a television sportscaster in New York City with WABC and WCBS, wrote other books, appeared in the 1973 movie “The Long Goodbye” and starred in a 1976 CBS sitcom based on “Ball Four” that lasted only five episodes. He and a former teammate developed Big League Chew, a bubble gum alternative to tobacco.

Born in Newark, New Jersey, Bouton was raised in New Jersey and the Chicago area. He pitched at Western Michigan University before signing with the Yankees in 1958. He made it to the majors in 1962, going 7-7, but didn’t appear in the Yankees’ World Series victory over the San Francisco Giants.

By Chris PutzStaff WriterAGAWAM – Shoehei Ohtani …

Brendan McKay … Josh Wagner.Westfield Little League Baseball

Majors All-Stars ace pitcher and top slugger Josh Wagner delivered a big league effort at the plate Wednesday night on the mound that conjured up images of some of the game’s elite two-way players.

Wagner tossed a four-hitter, striking out nine batters and also blasted a three-run home run to lead Westfield past Agawam in the first game of the District 2 championship 7-3 Wednesday night at Memorial Field.

A winner-take-all game will now be played Thursday night at Ralph E. Sanville Memorial Field on Cross Street in Westfield at 6 p.m.

“I think we played really well today,” Westfield’s Will Fruwirth said after the victory. “We’ve really got to pull it in tomorrow because tomorrow is the game that matters.”

Westfield’s focus was evident from the outset against Agawam.

Ethan Connors wasted no time, jump-ing on the game’s first pitch for a single to right field for Westfield. Tyrus Traska hit into a force out at second base on the next play, but soon advanced on a wild pitch and scored on Wagner’s hit to cen-ter field. Nick Gauger walked and Joe Maffia singled to right field to load the bases, but Agawam pitcher Lavelle Owen came back to strike out the next batter to get out of the jam.

Agawam bounced back in a big way.Parker Bean and Vinny Montagna

opened up the home half of the first with consecutive doubles, the second of which scored a game-tying run. Aiden Pisano advanced Montagana with a sin-gle. A passed ball and fielder’s choice made it 3-1 Agawam.

Then it was Westfield’s turn to spin the tables in its favor.

Patrick Willard and Josh Drumm sin-gled to lead off the Westfield half of the

second. With two outs, Wagner hit a 3-run home run that skipped off the top of the right field fence to make it 4-3.

“I just swung and it happened,” said Wagner. It was the Westfield All-Star’s second homer of the tournament and third of the season.

After yielding three early runs, Wagner settled down on the mound, retiring nine straight batters until the fourth inning when Lavelle Owen reached on an infield error. Owen advanced to second base on a passed ball, and moved to third on a wild pitch, but Wagner managed to strike out two batters to end the inning – and the threat.

Wagner’s dominance continued in the fifth inning, retiring the side via strike-out, fly out, and ground out.

Westfield tacked on some insurance in the top of the sixth. Willard, Connors and Traska singled, the third of which result-ed in a run. Wagner appeared to ground out in his fourth at-bat but Agawam’s second baseman decided to go home with the throw. The ball sailed on him and two more runs scored to make it 7-3.

Wagner retired the first two batters of the final inning, and nearly completed a majestic outing when he came up with a stop on the next play, but fired an errant throw to first base. He reached his pitch limit and was replaced by Traska.

Traska walked the first batter he faced but struck out the next batter to end the game.

Wagner, Westfield forces winner-take-all championship

Joe Maffia (44) makes contact.

Josh Wagner (28) blasts a 3-run homer in the second inning.

“In the first inning,” Wagner said, “I was feeling a little stressed. Then we started making our plays. We just dialed it in.”

Now, Westfield just needs to dial up a few more numbers for the scoreboard Thursday night to bring a title to the 01085.

POst 124 BEAts EL, BAttLEs FOr PLAYOFFsEAST LONGMEADOW – Fighting

for its playoff life, Westfield Post 124 played one of its best games of the sea-son – and certainly its best inning – on its way to a 9-2 win over East Longmeadow Post 293 at East Longmeadow High School.

The Western Mass American Legion Baseball League is divided into three divisions. The top two teams from each division automatically qualify for the postseason. After that, all the other remaining teams are combined and the two next best teams advance as playoff wild cards, for a field of eight teams.

After Wednesday night’s results, Westfield sits in third place in Division 3A (behind Agawam and Aldenville) and in third place in the wild card standings. Northampton and Greenfield have identi-cal 10-4 records and are good bets to make the playoffs, one as the number two team in their division and the other as the likely top wild card team. That leaves one remaining wild card spot.

Battling to be that final playoff team are Wilbraham Blue (6-7/.462), Westfield (5-7-1/.423) and East Longmeadow (5-7/.417). Westfield has games remain-ing Thursday at Monson, Friday at Jachym Field vs. East Springfield (a home game for East Springfield, which have been unable to reschedule an earlier rain-out at their home field in Springfield), and a home-and-home doubleheader vs. Longmeadow on Saturday. Monson, tied for first place in Division 3B, is on target to qualify for the postseason. East Springfield and Longmeadow are well off the pace to qualify.

Against East Longmeadow, starter Colby Gazda pitched a complete game three-hitter, giving up a pair of unearned runs in the fourth. He finished with five strikeouts, none bigger than the two in sixth. Protecting a slim 3-2 lead, Gazda got in trouble quick when the leadoff batter reached on a throwing error and, one out later, a single put runners at first and third. A stolen base later East Longmeadow had two runners in scor-ing position with one out. Gazda struck out the next two hitters to strand the runners and protect his one-run lead.

In the top of the seventh, Westfield broke open the game, sending 11 hitters to the plate and scoring six runs, putting the game well out of reach. Alex Lacourse walked and Josh Lis reached on a bunt single. Paul Shibley singled to load the bases. Spencer Cloutier was hit by a pitch to force home the first run of the inning, and Steve McKenna followed with a triple to clear the bases. McKenna later scored on Devin Baker’s bases-loaded walk. The final run scored on a Lacourse single.

Logan Krol finished with a pair of hits, an RBI and one run scored. Baker had a pair of RBI on two hits. Lacourse had two hits and reached base three times. – John Blake/Westfield Post 124

Starfires slay KnightsWESTFIELD – After a tough loss on

their home turf Tuesday night, the Westfield Starfires brought victory back to Bullens Field on Wednesday versus the Nashua Silver Knights, 13–4.

Right out of the gates the Starfires made their presence known, recording five hits in the first inning and pushing three runs across the plate. Westfield had 14 total hits in the game.

Starfires center fielder Danny Crossen started the hitting off with a rocket that fell into a gap in center field, landing himself at second base. Shortstop Elijah Dale picked up a single in the inning and both would score thanks to a double off the bat of third baseman Devin Kellogg.

Kellogg made his way across the plate when Tommy Quinn got his first hit of the night in the form of a single. Right fielder Sean Murphy got the fifth hit of the inning, also hitting a single.

Nashua put a single run on the board in the second inning and would be shut out until the ninth while Westfield continued racking up runs, showing no mercy to the Silver Knights.

Christian Walsh made some noise in the third inning, hitting a two-run home run to put his team ahead by four. The homer marks Walsh’s fourth of the season and added to an impressive night of batting. Walsh had three hits in four at-bats in the contest and five RBI. He was also named Futures League player of the night, an honorable title.

Another offensive highlight for the Starfires came in the sixth inning when catcher Tommy Quinn hit a bomb to cen-ter field that cleared the outfield fence like a breeze.

The impressive hit was a three-run homer that made any chance at a come-back for the Silver Knights look next to impossible. Quinn had a great bat through-out the matchup with three hits in five at-bats and four RBI.

occurred in the seventh inning, both of them crossing the plate on walks with the bases loaded.

In a last attempt to lessen the Starfires’ lead, the Silver Knights put three runs across in the ninth inning from one hit and three defensive errors.

Westfield’s Christian Walsh said that a big factor in the victory was being selec-tive at the plate and swinging at the right pitches.

“We were just looking for fast balls and trying not to go for breaking balls,” Walsh said. “We were really just hunting down fast balls the whole night. That was the key.”

With stellar plate appearances in the game, Walsh mentioned that he was not worried about getting a huge hit; he just wanted to do something that would help push a run across.

“I was just trying to get a good pitch to drive the run in,” Walsh said. “I was just looking for a fastball and I was lucky I got it and was able to put a good swing on it.”

Walsh also said that the team’s attitude as a whole made the win possible and he and his teammates were determined to be victorious once again.

“Everyone just kept going,” Walsh said. “The fact that we’ve been on a little bit of a losing stint just put a chip on our shoulders. Being in last place right now, we have to climb back. We just have a fire under us right now and we’re ready to keep going.” – Courtesy of Audrey Gamble/Westfield Starfires

HINTS FROM HELOISETHE BLENDER BONANZA

Dear Heloise: Nearly everyone knows that a blender can make smoothies and other ter-rific drinks, but I also use my blender to mix up cake batter rather than mixing it by hand. It does a much better job than hand mixing, and in only a few minutes. I also use it to make quiche and to blend scrambled eggs before cooking. The cleanup is easy, and the mixing is less messy. -- Beryl D., Parkwood, Pa.

PARTY PEOPLEDear Heloise: I’m having a summer barbecue, and I’ve decided

to hire a couple of responsible teens to help serve and clean up. It’s a good way for them to make a few extra dollars, and I’ll have more time to spend with my guests.

Of course, they are versed on giving the best service! -- Mike S. in Pennsylvania

Dear AnnieBy ANNIE LANE

Wanted: Real Customer ServiceDear Annie: Am I the only one who feels that life is too com-

plicated these days and that I feel absolutely powerless when it comes to calling a big company to get service? I am old enough to remember the days when we bought a television, put it in the car, drove home, plugged it in, played with the “rabbit ears” for a minute and then were able to watch TV.

Today, when you buy a television, it is a major project. If it’s a big-screen TV, someone usually has to deliver it, and then you need to make an appointment with an installer. It always takes much longer for them to install than they plan.

Then there is the cable company. This morning I waited for over an hour for the cable guy to arrive. After working on the TV for more than an hour, he said he had the wrong parts and box and needed to go back to his office to get new supplies.

My wife had made lunch for me, but I told her to wait until this guy was finished. Then, after he left to get the new parts, we got a chance to eat, though we were both watching the clock.

Two hours later, the man returned and, after another hour, finally got everything set up.

Of course, I appreciate that the television quality and choice of channels are a million times better than those days of rabbit ears, but I feel so frustrated by the feeling of powerlessness I have if something goes wrong. You may as well call the federal govern-ment in terms of not getting a person. They have one recording after another, push this button or that, stay on hold for 20 minutes, and then maybe, if you are lucky, you will be able to talk to a live human.

The airlines are the same way. I remember the old days when I would call an airline, someone would answer the phone, book my flight or whatever, and we would both be on our way. Now, in the “new and improved” technological society, there is never any personal customer service. Everything is automated and imper-sonal.

While we have had improvements because of technology, we have had regression in terms of customer service and personal attention.

I started writing this letter out of frustration with our cable com-pany, but the more that I wrote, the angrier I got in thinking about how impersonal business has become. You always are the voice of common sense, and I’m wondering if you have any suggestions. -- Helpless and Powerless

Dear Helpless and Powerless: Help is on the way, and it is coming in the shape of you discovering your own power. While you might not have the power to fix your television immediately, you do have the power to change your perspective. You were able to have a pleasant, quiet and electronic-free lunch with your wife. Time without TV can sometimes be a nice break.

However, I agree with you that automated “customer service” is a contradiction in terms, though it has become common practice today. Customer service should be all about the customer feeling respected and heard. You are not alone in your frustrations.

We have seen many incredible advances because of modern technology, but the same cannot be said about typical customer service. Imagine if a company could offer the efficiencies of mod-ern improvements with Marshall Field’s old maxim from more than a century ago, “The customer is always right.” The compa-nies that can manage both are the ones that will emerge as victors in the future.

By DAVID BAUDER Associated PressNEW YORK (AP) — The Fourth of July meant hot dogs,

fireworks and President Donald Trump for many Fox News viewers.

Fox News reached an average of 4.09 million viewers between 6 and 8 p.m. EDT last Thursday for its coverage of Trump’s much-discussed holiday parade in Washington, D.C., the Nielsen company said. The audience was over 4.6 million during the concentrated hour during which Trump gave a rain-soaked speech.

Those are strong numbers for the Fourth of July, tradition-ally one of the least-watched days of the year for television as people concentrate on outdoor activities. During the same time last July Fourth, Fox had 1.29 million viewers, Nielsen said.

It was even more than double Fox’s average viewership for the time slot for a typical workday this year.

Fox was the only commercial television network to say ahead of time that it would air Trump’s speech. CNN, which also aired it and had 1.4 million viewers, did not disclose its coverage plans before the event. MSNBC did not air the speech and had 397,000 viewers, Nielsen said.

The week’s most popular television event started Sunday morning, when the U.S. women’s soccer team beat The Netherlands for the World Cup before 14.3 million viewers.

Behind the summertime favorite “America’s Got Talent,” NBC averaged 3.5 million viewers in prime time last week. CBS had 3.4 million, ABC had 2.8 million, Fox had 1.6 mil-lion, Univision had 1.5 million, ION Television had 1.4 million, Telemundo had 1 million and the CW had 560,000.

Fox News Channel was the week’s most popular cable network, averaging 2.01 million viewers in prime time. MSNBC had 1.16 million, HGTV had 1.14 million, USA had 1.05 million and TLC had 1 million.

ABC’s “World News Tonight” topped the evening news-casts with an average of 7.8 million viewers. NBC’s “Nightly News” had 6.8 million and the “CBS Evening News,” where Norah O’Donnell takes over as anchor next

week, averaged 5.1 million.For the week of July 1-7, the top 10 shows, their networks

and viewerships: “America’s Got Talent,” NBC, 6.82 mil-lion; “60 Minutes,” CBS, 6.8 million; “Macy’s Fourth of July Fireworks,” NBC, 5.87 million; “The Bachelorette,” ABC, 5.77 million; Men’s Soccer: Mexico vs United States, Univision, 5.66 million; “Celebrity Family Feud,” ABC, 5.3 million; “The $100,000 Pyramid,” ABC, 4.9 million; “American Ninja Warrior,” NBC, 4.75 million; “Big Brother” (Tuesday), CBS, 4.46 million; “Big Brother” (Sunday), CBS, 4.32 million.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, July 11, 2019:This year, your intensity and creativity point to some intriguing happenings, success and more satisfaction. If single, romance intensifies from fall onward. Those at the correct age could meet Mr. or Ms. Right. If attached, you enjoy your significant other more and more as the days go by. Many of you could be greeting new additions to your family. For some, it could be a new pet. For others, it could be a baby. Use care if you don’t want a new addition. SCORPIO intrigues you and encourages you to take a risk.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19)HHHH Relate individually to others, avoiding a meeting, if possible. The results you will gain from one-on-one talks will be far more conclusive than you would get oth-erwise. Your sense of humor comes through and helps others calm down and evaluate. Tonight: With an adored friend.TAURUS (April 20-May 20)HHHHH You could be trying to be more forthright and direct with a key associate, but he or she might not understand what is happening. You will find that others are clearly challenging. Work with the unex-pected. Greet change positively. Tonight: Sort through invitations.GEMINI (May 21-June 20)HHH To no one’s surprise except yours, exhaustion marks your actions, work and decisions. The best solution would be to take the day off. You might not like the end results, but in the long run, you’re better off. Tonight: Nap and then get as much done as possible.CANCER (June 21-July 22)HHHHH What you find challenging, another person could find boring. Don’t make a big deal of these differences; they add to your uniqueness. Your philosophical outlook might be very different from most people’s. Tonight: Let off steam.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)HHHHH You could be in the position of making an important decision that you would prefer to postpone. Discussions eas-ily could short-circuit. Choose your words with care. If expressing anger or frustration, know that you need to be careful. Tonight: Happy at home.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)HHHHH A situation could easily go south if you don’t choose your words with care. Understand your limitations, though a lot could be cleared up if you do opt for a chat. The other party might be highly receptive. Tonight: Touch base with a loved one.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You could be taken aback by all that is going on. One-on-one relating could hold an unusual surprise for you. You also might note how very possessive you can be about a certain person. Is that behavior interfering with the bond between you? To-night: Be as open as possible.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)HHHHH Your intensity often pushes people away. They might be overwhelmed, yet on the other hand, those who enjoy this quality cannot get close enough. Be as open as possible when having an intense con-versation. Tonight: You can do (nearly) no wrong.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH If you need to close down and take time off, by all means do. You could be stunned by what comes out. Be careful if you lose your temper; you might say some-thing you will regret later. Tonight: Make plans for the weekend.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)HHHH Open up to new possibilities as they appear. You might want to rethink a particular hassle that might have reappeared in your life. Focus on your long-term goals and you cannot go wrong. Your smile helps melts others’ barriers. Tonight: Where the crowds are.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)HHHH Look at the trends at the moment. You could feel as if someone is pushing you in a certain direction. Consider the long term and what you deserve. You will know what to do. Tonight: Keep smiling. All will work out.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)HHHH You might want to clear certain judgments that might not be valid but are automatic on your part. You don’t have the control you desire to handle a certain per-sonal matter at this time. Tonight: Go where you can listen to great music.
