Westfield’s Animal Control had been receiving calls about a peacock roaming around the area near Home Depot for the better part of a month. On Wednesday, they announced on the Westfield Reginal Animal Shelter Facebook Page that he had been caught by Animal Control Officer Spenser Afonso. She was searching in the area where the peacock was last spotted when she sighted him on Miller Street, apparently peeping into the windows of a house. She received a call the night before from someone who claimed their neighbor was feeding the bird. Pepe the Peacock, as he has been named by members of Animal Control, did not go quietly into the night. He took the officers on an hour-long foot chase for which they were at a disadvantage. Unlike chickens, who have wings but cannot fly, peacocks can fly, and Pepe did so to avoid cap- ture at the hands of animal control. Afonso had to call in backup. After being chased through neighborhoods, the dike, and the woods, Pepe was finally netted and brought to the Animal Shelter. Animal Shelter Director Lori Charrette said that they are fairly certain who’s peacock it is. She could not disclose the suspected owner’s name. Peacocks are not native to the New England climate, but they are frequently found on farms in the area. Pepe is currently being held at the animal shelter while they await word from his owner. Charette said that this is the first time that she has had a peacock interred in the shelter. “We’re googling stuff on peacocks because we don’t know,” said Charrette. She said that they eat a similar diet to the average New England bird. ——— Peter Currier can be reached at Pepe the Peacock is currently being housed at the Westfield Animal Shelter until his owner can pick him up.

Michael Dobbs Managing Editor, Reminder Publishing The Cannabis Control Commission, as a reaction to how can- nabis sales are going in the Bay State, is revising the rules governing the sale of marijuana. Colin A. Young, writing for the State House News Service, noted that for- mer Congressman Barney Frank testi- fied before the CCC: The former congressman, now 79, showed the CCC and crowd a bill he filed soon after being first elected to serve in the Massachusetts House in 1972 that would have done away with any state restrictions on adults pur- chasing or using marijuana. Frank, who now works with the local canna- bis advocacy group Beantown Greentown, testified Wednesday to G. MICHAEL “say I told you so” and remark on the DOBBS progress of legalization since 1972. “It’s clear that progress is being made at the federal level, Frank said. He said legislation removing restrictions on finan- cial institutions from doing business with cannabis companies “has a very good chance to become law soon” because the amount of cash used in the industry creates public safety con- cerns. As the CCC considers public input on their new draft regula- tions for the medical marijuana world as well as the adult-use or recreational industry, Frank said this is an important moment for the legalization movement and the country. “We talk a lot about the divisions, the anger, generational problems. I think an appropriate set of regulations that make it possible for adults responsibly to use marijuana for any purpose they choose, that that will go an important way towards healing one of the major divisions we have,” Frank, who retired from Congress in 2013, said. “The fundamental inconsistency between the way marijuana is regulated and the way alcohol is regulated and cigarettes is one of the causes, I think, of the anger Feeling alone, man invites world and distrust for the political system, so we have a chance here to kind of reconcile people in our society.” Frank does make a good point.

International Organization for Migration spokesman Joel Millman said that "turmoil" in Venezuela may account for "much of 2019's fatality surge." More than 4 million people have left Venezuela since 2015. IOM has confirmed 89 deaths of Venezuelans this year, second only to more than 100 who were of unknown nation- alities. In total, 514 people have died this year in the Americas through Aug. 14, up from 384 a year ago. It's the fastest that the 500 mark has been reached since IOM began counting in 2014. Millman told reporters in Geneva that the death rate on the U.S.-Mexico border hasn't changed much in the last six years of tracking such figures, now still amounting to about one per day. Overall, just over half of the deaths this year — 259 — were caused by drowning, such as through shipwrecks in the Caribbean or failed river crossings. About 65 were from high- way crashes, and around 20 each on railroad routes, from dehydration or exposure, violence including homicide, and sickness or lack of medical care. Millman said the figures don't include deaths of people in detention: 11, including eight in the U.S. and three in Mexico.

Young Are You Having A State House News Service STATE HOUSE, BOSTON (SHNS) — The three casinos in Massachusetts cumulatively generated $81.4 million in revenue last month from hundreds of millions in wagers and Encore Boston Harbor in Everett accounted for about 60 percent of it. In its first full month of operations, the Wynn Resorts property pulled in more than $48.57 million in table game and slot machine revenue. MGM Springfield posted its third-worst month in July but still counted $20.4 million in revenue and the slots TAG parlor at Plainridge Park Casino generated $12.5 million last month, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission reported in its monthly revenue roundup. Table game revenue accounted for more than half of Encore’s July haul, totaling $27.42 million while slots brought in another $21.15 million last month.

The Commerce Department says that housing starts slipped last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.19 mil- lion units. So far this year, housing starts have declined 3.1%. While there was a slight 1.3% uptick in the construction of single-family homes, the gain was offset by a 17.2% drop in the apartment category. The results suggest a lack of construction relative to demand from would-be home buyers, which may make it difficult for them to capitalize on the recent decline in mort- gage rates. Applications for housing permits increased 8.4% to an annual rate of 1.34 million. Apartment complexes drove the increase.

Babe Ruth World Series Championship

Fargo’s Bo Meier lays down a bunt that moves players up the bases. (Photo by Marc St.Onge) Fargo gets a little revenge, wins big one By Chris Putz Sports Editor WESTFIELD – In 1996, a Neo-noir black comedy thriller film named Fargo appeared in movie theaters all across the country. Two decades later, the TV show crept onto televi- sion screens, garnering accolades among sev- eral critics and fans alike. That being said, the third iteration appeared to be the best viewing. On Thursday night, Midwest Plains cham- pion Fargo (North Dakota) avenged a 2018 Little League Midwest Regional champion- ship loss, completing an undefeated run in the 2019 Babe Ruth 13-Year-Old World Series by defeating Southeastern champ Greenville (North Carolina) 8-2 in the title game at Bullens Field. Last year’s loss in Westfield, Indiana left Fargo one game short of visiting Williamsport, Pennsylvania. “That was a huge motivation,” Fargo man- ager Mike Rerick said. “We had dangled that Fargo pitcher Beckett Stimpson (28) on the mound, backlit by the late summer sun. (Photo by carrot in front of the boys’ faces for two to Marc St.Onge) three years and so when we came up short last year just by that one game, it was devastating determination,” coach Rerick explained.

This one was a laugher from the get-go, but it might not seem so funny to the Yankees if they run into Cleveland come October. Ramírez hit two early homers, including his first career grand slam in a seven-run opening inning, and the Indians pummeled New York 19-5 to start a four-game series between American League pennant contenders. “This is the type of game that you remember,” Ramírez said through a translator. Carlos Santana also launched two home runs as the Yankees matched a franchise record by serving up seven. Greg Allen and Santana went back-to-back in a five-run eighth against Ford, the 2013 Ivy League pitcher and player of the year at Princeton. A grinning Ford, throwing anywhere from 53-87 mph, then worked a 1-2-3 ninth and received a loud ovation from the scattered fans remaining from a crowd of 44,654, especially after he struck out Roberto Pérez looking to end the inning. “I think the 53 mph pitch was the best pitch I threw,” said Ford, who became the first Yankees position player to com- plete two innings on the mound. “I haven’t done it in pro ball, so it’s been a long time. I’m just out there to kind of have a good time at that point, get outs as quick as I can for every- one.” Ramirez, who equaled his career high with six RBIs, and Jason Kipnis smacked consecutive homers off ineffective opener Chad Green (2-4) in a top of the first that lasted 29 minutes. Pérez added a two-run shot against Jonathan Loaisiga in Cleveland’s biggest first inning since scoring eight times at Houston in April 2013. Loaisiga also gave up a two-run drive Cleveland Indians’ Carlos Santana follows through on a two-run home run during the fourth inning of the team’s baseball to the streaking Ramírez in the second. game against the New York Yankees on Thursday, Aug. 15, 2019, in New York.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH The unexpected has become traditional in your life, especially if you were born in April.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Others seem to be one step ahead of you no matter what you do. Even if de- ciding to call a friend, that friend is likely to call you first.

Tonight: Make a point of getting home at a reason- able hour. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH If you are concerned by what you are hearing, start asking some ques- tions. The answers could make you feel more at ease. Your creativity emerges late in the day if dealing with a difficult situa- tion or person. Tonight: As you like it, at Cryptoquip your hang out. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe HHH You have finally slowed down. You keep hearing information or conversations that might not be accurate.
