PAGE 8 - SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2018 www.thewestfieldnews.com THE WESTFIELD NEWS McCain salute: One of nation’s ‘bravest souls’ in war, peace WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional leaders saluted John McCain Friday as a model of service in war and peace and “one of the bravest souls our nation has ever produced,” in a memorial ceremony at the heart of the political battlefield where he fought for more than three decades. Then thousands of fellow Americans, who had lined up out- side the U.S. Capitol in stifling heat, began filing past in the majestic rotunda to say goodbye as he lay in state. McCain, the Arizona senator who died Saturday at 81, was remembered as a man who inspired other leaders even as he vexed them with a rebellious streak and impish humor. Absent from the event was Donald Trump, invited to stay away by the family of the senator, who had deep disagreements with the president. McCain’s service in Vietnam, and his refusal to be released early as a prisoner of war, made the setting of Friday’s service all the more fitting, some said. “Half a world away, wearing our nation’s uniform, John McCain stood up for every value that this Capitol Building Looking down the midway Friday night at the Blandford Fair. (Photo by Marc St. Onge) represents,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told the crowd of McCain’s family, friends and aides. “Then, he brought that same patriotism inside its walls -- to advocate for our service members, our veterans and our moral leadership in the world. So it is only right that today, near the end of his long Opening journey, John lies here.” Friday’s ceremony and public viewing was the midpoint of McCain’s five-day cross-country funeral procession from Arizona, where he and wife Cindy raised their family, through night at the Capitol where he worked for more than 35 years, to the U.S. Naval Academy cemetery in Annapolis, Maryland — “back where it began,” as he wrote in his recent memoir, “The the Restless Wave.” On Saturday, the procession will pause by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the way to a formal funeral service at Washington National Cathedral. In Trump’s absence, Vice President Mike Pence, Defense Blandford Secretary James Mattis, White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and other officials represented the administration. Pence at one point said that Trump, who mocked McCain for being cap- tured, “respected his service to the country.” Fair The stop at the Capitol was designed to spotlight McCain’s At right, The Truck Stop outsized role in an institution bursting with big, willful person- Troubadours entertain the alities. Just to the north of the rotunda in the semi-darkened crowd at the Blandford Fair Senate, McCain’s desk remained draped in black and topped Friday night. (Photo by Marc St. with a vase of white roses. After the ceremony, Cindy McCain quietly sat behind her Onge) husband’s desk, escorted by his seatmate and close friend, Sen. Lindsey Graham. Graham plucked two of the roses from the vase and gave them to her during that private moment, said two people close to McCain and his family. Of those who spoke at Friday’s ceremony, fellow Republican McConnell had perhaps the fullest sense of the McCain experi- ence. The two had served in the Senate together since McCain’s 1986 election. “Depending on the issue, you knew John would either be your staunchest ally or your most stubborn opponent,” McConnell recalled. “At any moment, he might be preparing an eloquent reflection on human liberty — or a devastating joke, served up with his signature cackle and that John McCain glint in his eye.” But just about anyone who worked in the Capitol over the past 35 years could attest to McCain’s iron will and what House Speaker Paul Ryan called his “distinct brand of candor.” “With John, it was never feigned disagreement. The man didn’t feign anything,” Ryan said. “He just relished the fight.” “This,” Ryan added of McCain, “is one of the bravest souls our nation has ever produced.” Pence, himself a former House member, recalled traveling through Iraq with McCain and falling asleep during a dinner with officials. McCain, nearly 23 years older, told him, “’Mike, we’ve got a few more meetings tonight. But why don’t you turn in. You look like you could use some rest,.” Members of McCain’s family, seated nearby, smiled. Cindy McCain was the first to pay respects at her husband’s casket. She bowed over it and appeared to pray. The last of the family to file past was his mother, 106-year-old Roberta McCain. Wheeled up to her son’s flag-draped casket, she crossed herself and was wheeled out. Others from McCain’s long career paused. Some wept. Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger reached out with both hands to touch the flag. Former Connecticut Sen.

Price likely won’t make next start, Sale’s return not set CHICAGO (AP) — Boston Red Sox left-hander David Price likely won’t make his next scheduled start, and the team remains unsure when ace lefty Chris Sale will return to the rotation. Manager Alex Cora said Price “most likely” will not take his turn in the rotation next week at Atlanta. He said Price still is sore and hasn’t thrown since he was struck on his pitching wrist by a line drive against Miami on Wednesday. He was examined by a hand specialist on Westfield High vs. Putnam Thursday. “I haven’t (sat) down with him yet, but (trainer) Brad (Pearson) told me he was Academy Football Scrimmage still sore,” Cora said. “(He’s) feeling bet- ter, but I don’t think he’s gonna be ready for that one. So if he’s not ready for that one, we’ll push it back.” Price has bounced back after being lim- ited to 11 starts last season because of an elbow injury. He is 14-6 with a 3.60 ERA in 26 outings. The Red Sox own the best record in the majors even though Sale hasn’t pitched since Aug. 12 because of mild inflamma- tion in his pitching shoulder. But Cora thinks he will make a few starts before the playoffs. Sale — 12-4 with a 1.97 ERA — threw long toss and on flat ground Friday after playing catch the previous four days. “The way it’s going right now, when- ever he gets on the mound, he’s gonna move fairly quick,” Cora said. “Obviously we have to build him up, but ... there’s not *HS Featured Game too (many) innings in the minor leagues. of the Week* We’re gonna have to do it at the big- league level.

Justin Rose leads FedEx Cup event at TPC Boston NORTON, Mass. (AP) — Justin Rose missed the cut in the FedEx Cup playoffs opener and decided to make the most of it. He stayed home in the Bahamas for six days, opting out of the pro-am and not arriving to the Dell Technologies Championship until the evening for the opening round Friday. And then he was off and running at the TPC Boston. On a breezy day that kept scoring unusually high, Rose putted for birdie on all but two holes and made his six birdies count by keeping bogeys off his card. Three birdies over his last four holes gave him a 6-under 65 and a one-shot lead. “Just keeping the card clean made the birdies really count for something,” Rose

DADDY’S HOME Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein YOUR Contract Bridge HOROSCOPE By Jaqueline Bigar

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Sept. 1, 2018: This year you might see some of the changes that you’ve wished for on the hori- zon. You recognize that there are several paths to your objective. Trust your judg- ment. If you are single, your tendency to be highly involved in projects could prevent you from meeting The One. Nevertheless, DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker you expand your immediate circle of friends and meet new people. If you are attached, you need to involve your significant other in more segments of your life. A newfound closeness will evolve. TAURUS helps you see the big picture. 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 You could be feeling generous yet cautious. How you deal with this con- flict all depends on whom you are dealing with. If you trust someone, you have greater SCARY GARY Mark Buford leeway. Be willing to evolve some of your ideas. You often come up with creative solutions. Tonight: Treat a loved one. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You are in your element and could succeed beyond your imagination. To many people, you seem to present optimism and opportunity. Others often tap into your ideas to make their lives easier. You might make a last-minute change of plans. Tonight: Off to a baseball game. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Crosswords HHH Know that you don’t need to share everything that’s on your mind. A friend DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni might try to get you to speak your thoughts. Observe what is happening around you. When you are not invested, you tend to be more successful. Try to catch up on sleep. Tonight: Be subtle about your plans. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Defer to others, and understand where they are coming from. Your ability to identify with people often proves helpful. A loved one will demonstrate his or her caring through a special invitation. With less responsibility, you will have some extra time. Tonight: Out and about! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You are a force that can’t be B.C. Mastroianni and Hart stopped, no matter what others do. You might be unusually tuned in to another per- son or your friends at the moment. You have an opportunity to bring others together. Be prepared for a meeting to turn into a party. Tonight: Try something different. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Some of you might be too dis- tracted to focus on anything except a situa- tion that seems to be consuming your life. Prioritize, and complete what is on your mind first. Later, you will be able to pay more attention on other concerns. Tonight: Accept a spontaneous invitation. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You feel very close to one person ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie and want to spend time with him or her. What could be upsetting is how many peo- ple try to interject themselves into your plans. Look at the situation as positive and as a compliment. You can still say “no.” Tonight: Add some spice to the night. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Others want to be with you, and they exhibit very little patience. Someone tries to merge your plans with his or hers. You know how to set boundaries, so do just that. If someone cuts you off, let it be. This person will move on, especially if you don’t react. Tonight: Out on the town. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Your ability to go with the flow ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett has to do with your willingness to experi- ence life in new ways. You might not always love what happens, but you are likely to be entertained. You probably need to adapt your plans to make room for an event. Tonight: Among the crowds. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You cannot help but respond to a very creative idea that a loved one proposes. You will learn much more once you say “yes,” and no longer will be so focused on Cryptoquip your responsibilities, at least for a while. Relax while enjoying yourself. Tonight: Togetherness is the theme. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH If you stay close to home, you ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe will feel a lot better. Invite friends over for a backyard barbecue. Express your fun quirkiness around the people you invite and see what happens. Others enjoy getting to know you better. Tonight: Your get-together could go till the wee hours. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You feel and act more openly, and you express a greater appreciation for your friends and immediate circle. You will do a lot of catching up on news with a sibling, neighbor or loved one. You probably need to get together with this person more often. Tonight: Accept a suggestion.
