But first: Another declaration of “no collusion” by President Donald Trump’s attorney general. Eager to get in a last word ahead of the public release of the special counsel’s report, Attorney General William Barr on Thursday laid out in advance what he said was the “bottom line:” No cooperation between Trump’s 2016 presidential cam- paign and Russian government hackers. While Mueller drew no conclusion about whether Trump had obstructed justice in the investigation, Barr said he and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein personally had concluded that while Trump was “frustrated and angered” about the Mueller probe, nothing the president did rose to the level of an “obstruction-of-justice offense.” Barr said Mueller’s report examined 10 episodes pertaining to Trump and obstruction. The Justice Department was to release a redacted version of the special counsel’s report later Thursday morning on Russian election interference and the Trump campaign, opening up months, if not years, of fights over what the document means in a deeply divided country. It was to be delivered to Congress on compact discs between 11 a.m. and noon and then posted on the special counsel’s web- The Commencement Speech site. By Norman Halls 4.

Marine veterans honoring two women for bravery WESTFIELD — The Westfield Marine Corps League has Audience members at the Westfield 350 talk Wednesday night at Westfield State University. (Photo by Marc St.Onge) honored two women, including a mother of six, who saved a man whose car plunged into the icy Westfield River and tended to injured following a multi-vehicle cash. Melissa Martine of Agawam and Amanda Hawley of Granville received the Charles W. David, Jr. Lifesaving Westfield 350 Talk at WSU Medallion of the Four Chaplains Memorial Foundation in ceremonies last week at Westfield River Valley Detachment 141 of the Marine Corps League. The national award was cre- ated to keep alive the memory of four Army chaplains who gave their lives to save others by recognizing those who per- form selfless service for their community. “This is not something just for the military,” said Tom Pirnie, who spearheaded the detachment’s nomination of the women. “It honors people from all walks of life, who go beyond to give back.” Pirnie said he also sought to include Leonard Cansino, who participated in the Jan. 25 rescue, but was unable to locate him. Hawley said she was driving home from shopping with her sister and her sister’s two children when she saw the three- vehicle crash that sent one car spinning across traffic and another careen-ing up and over a snowbank into the river. She jumped out and ran into the river. “I was in such a rush, I left the car door open,” she re-called. “ I had no idea who was in the car. All I knew was he needed help.” She and Cansino waded out into the bitterly cold water in the pouring rain to reach the victim while other passersby Chris Erickson and Janis Renaud get a raffle ticket Bruce Cortis and Linda Hadley chat before the evening’s talk. (Photo grabbed a ladder off Cansino’s truck and tossed it to them to from Victoria Pike. by Marc St.Onge) help move the elderly victim to the safety of river bank. “All the time he held onto a birthday card. He said it was for his 93-year-old sister,” she said. “It was all he was worried about when we got him out of the car. I wrapped him in my sweater and he asked if I could mail it for him as he held my hand.” The card did end up briefly in the rushing river during the struggle, but Hawley paused to grab it, “It was soaked, but I took it home and dried it out and mailed it to his sister,” she said. Hawley, who farms, said she had never done anything as dramatic before, but both her mother and father had served in the Coast Guard. Martine also dashed to the river bank, but after checking with the two in the water, she turned away to help an injured woman in the second car involved in the crash. “I never second guessed myself. I just did what was right,” said the mother of six. “She helps out all the time,” said her husband, Al Martine. “And she teaches our children to do the same.” The award honors four Army chaplains, John P. Washington, a Catholic priest from Kearny, New Jersey, Rabbi Alexander D. Goode, a native of York, Pennsylvania, Clark V. Poling a Dutch Reformed minister from Schenectady, New York and George L. Fox, a Methodist minister in Gilman, Vermont. After seeking to calm the chaos, they gave up their life jackets to save oth-ers when the U.S.A.T. Dorchester was torpedoed approaching Greenland shortly after midnight on Feb. 3, 1943, killing 672 of the 902 aboard.
