The fair began Friday, with an official opening ceremony and vet- eran’s flag ceremony. Although the rain held off for the bulk of the fair, Westfield Fair President Mary Johnson said that the expectation of storms had an effect on some aspects of the fair. “There was not as much product as we were hoping for,” said Johnson. She said the anticipated storms caused some people to not bring Miss Westfield, Maura Joseph, at vegetables and other products to go the Westfield Fair. (Photo by Marc St. on display at the fair.

Tremblay Assistant Managing Editor I admit it, as an alum of St. Mary’s, I have a bit of a soft spot for the Catholic school, which is why I’m thrilled that as of today, the high school is now a diocesan school with diocesan resources. I attended St. Mary’s from grade 1-12 following a half-year of kinder- garten in my native New York and a half-year at Juniper Park in Westfield.

And while the Church teachings were part of our studies, you didn’t (and still don’t) have to be Catholic to attend the schools. More than Catholicism, what’s taught is human kindness and understanding. When I was in high school in the late 80s, St. Mary’s required every student to take World Theology to learn about other religions. And never once, in my recollec- tion, was there any chapter or lecture about Catholicism being better than any other religion. It was coexisting at its best and we were encouraged to learn about our fellow humans and think for ourselves. Like other STM supporters, I was heartbroken when it was Sen.

The July revenue report released Thursday by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission says the Wynn Resorts-owned Encore Boston Harbor casino, which opened in late June, took in about $48.6 million in rev- enue from table games and slots. MGM Springfield, open since last August, reported about $20.4 million from table games and slots, while the Plainridge casino, which does not have table games, reported $12.5 million in revenues. Gambling revenues at Encore and MGM are taxed at 25%, while the Plainridge slots parlor is taxed at 49 per- cent. State officials expect to take in nearly $300 million in casino taxes during the current fiscal year.

Tremblay) Associated Press BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J. (AP) — President Donald Trump dismissed concerns of recession on Sunday and offered an optimistic outlook for the econ- omy after last week’s steep drop in the financial mar- kets. “I don’t think we’re having a recession,” Trump told reporters as he returned to Washington from his New Jersey golf club. “We’re doing tremendously well. Our consumers are rich. I gave a tremendous tax cut and they’re loaded up with money.” A strong economy is key to Trump’s re-election pros- pects. Consumer confidence has dropped 6.4% since July. The president has spent most of the week at his golf club in New Jersey with much of his tweeting focused on talking up the economy. Aides sought to reinforce that message during a series of appearances on the Sunday talk shows. Larry Kudlow, Trump’s top economic adviser, dis- Kelly Buffum reads an original ghost tale. missed fears of a looming recession and predicted the economy will perform well in the second half of 2019. He said that consumers are seeing higher wages and are able to spend and save more. “We’re doing pretty darn well in my judgment. Let’s not be afraid of optimism,” Kudlow said. Kudlow acknowledged a slowing energy sector, but said low interest rates will help housing, construction and auto sales. Kudlow also defended the president’s use of tariffs on goods coming from China. Before he joined the admin- istration, Kudlow was known for opposing tariffs and promoting free trade during his career as an economic analyst. Kudlow said Trump has taught him and others that the “China story has to be changed and reformed.” “We cannot let China pursue these unfair and unrecip- rocal trading practices,” Kudlow said. Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke said the U.S. needed to work with allies to hold China accountable on trade. He said he fears Trump is driving the global economy into a recession. “This current trade war that the president has entered our country into is not working,” O’Rourke said. “It is hammering the hell out of farmers across this country.” Last month, the Federal Reserve reduced its bench- mark rate — which affects many loans for households and businesses — by a quarter-point to a range of 2% to 2.25%. It’s the first rate cut since December 2008 dur- ing the depths of the Great Recession. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell stressed that the Fed was wor- ried about the consequences of Trump’s trade war and sluggish economies overseas. “Weak global growth and trade tensions are having an effect on the U.S. economy,” he said. Breaking with historical norms, Trump has been highly critical of Powell as he places blame for any Global shares rise as investors watch trade war, economies economic weakness on the nation’s central bank for By The Associated Press 1.2%. developments surrounding the Fed, inves- raising interest rates too much over the past two years.

(AP) — For the fifth time in the last six years, August on the PGA Tour means no more Tiger Woods for the rest of the season. Only now he’s healthy. He also is the Masters champion. And that makes it a season he wouldn’t trade. “Very special to win my 15th major and get my fifth jacket,” Woods said Sunday. “Those are special moments to be able to have an opportunity like that. And the rest of the tournaments I didn’t really play as well as I wanted. But at the end of the day, I’m the one with the green jacket.” Rarely has Woods smiled so wide after not meeting a goal. His season ended at Medinah, where he won two PGA Championship titles at the peak of his game and his health. He closed with an even-par 72 in the BMW Championship and tied for 37th, nowhere near what he needed to move into the top 30 in the FedEx Cup and advance to the season- ending Tour Championship next week at East Lake. “It’s disappointing,” Woods said about not returning to Atlanta. “I wish I could have. Last year culminated in a pretty special moment for me, and it would have been nice to go back there. But I’ll be watching the guys on TV.” It will be the 15th time in his career that Woods did not show up to defend a title on the PGA Tour, remarkable considering that Fred Couples only won 15 times in his career. The other occasions of not defending a title usually involved a change in the schedule, a tournament ending or health rea- sons. This is the first time because he wasn’t eligible.

Dear Annie: When I read the letter from “A Faithful Reader,” the grandmother who was concerned that her granddaughter “blew up,” I had an entirely different take on the situation. I, too, am a grand- mother, but I felt that the person needing some help was the grand- mother who wrote to you. Yes, she did a lot for the granddaughter over the years; however, the granddaughter is no longer a child and does not want her unsolicited assistance. The granddaughter is act- ing out of exasperation over a grandmother who has not realized that she is no longer a child and does not know how to relate to and respect her granddaughter as an adult. The blow-ups are a response to the grandmother not only violat- ing boundaries but also expecting to be appreciated for it. Her poor granddaughter has tried blowing up, but that still is not setting the situation right. It is too bad the granddaughter does not just tell her that she does not need her to move her car, fold her clothes or do other similar tasks. I would never post a picture of a great-grand- child without the permission of the granddaughter. If the grand- mother would treat the adult granddaughter with respect and dig- nity, and understand her boundaries, the blow-ups would not be needed to try to jolt the woman into the reality of her inappropriate and controlling behavior. Dear Respecting Boundaries: I am printing your letter because respecting peoples’ boundaries is always an important key to good relationships. I also agree that posting pictures of children should always be up to the discretion of the parents. “Ask Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie” is out now!
