‘Retire the Fire!’ Electrical and Home Heating Safety By Tina Gorman Executive Director Westfield Council On Aging WESTFIELD — In the last five years, Massachusetts fire depart- ments responded to 2,702 home fires caused by electrical problems. These fires caused 33 civilian deaths, 110 civilian injuries, 287 fire service injuries, and an estimated dollar loss of $146 million. The average loss per fire was $54,018. Electrical fires were the leading cause of fire deaths in 2011 and 2014 and the second leading cause of death in 2016. Fortunately, basic strategies can be implemented to avoid such tragedies.

(AP) — Star slugger J.D. Martinez went 0 for 2 in his spring training debut for the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday, just three weeks before opening day. “He’s not behind at all,” new manager Alex Cora said. Although Martinez will be Boston’s primary designated hitter, he also is expected to get time in the field. With the Red Sox playing split-squad games, he played left field and batted cleanup. Facing Twins right-hander Jake Odorizzi, Martinez twice flied out. “Seeing the ball, just going up there and trying to slow the ball down as best as I can, and swing at strikes,” Martinez said. “Really, that’s all I was really worried about, just get a pitch over the plate and put a good swing on it.” “It felt good. It was fun. You don’t realize how much you miss something until you can’t do it and you haven’t been able to do it for a while. So it was fun to get out there,” he said. The AL East champion Red Sox announced Feb. 26 they had signed Martinez to a $110 million, five-year deal.

Stephanie Clifford filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Tuesday. She alleges that the agreement she signed days before the 2016 presidential election, which prevented her from discussing the alleged sexual encounters, is “null and void and of no consequence” because Trump didn’t personally sign it. Her lawyer, Michael Avenatti, said on morning news shows Wednesday that she wants “to set the record straight.” He said on NBC there was “no question” Trump knew about the agreement, though he did not offer any proof. Avenatti said Daniels wasn’t looking to profit from her story. But he told CBS: “I don’t know whether she’s going to ultimately seek payment or not.” Clifford initially claimed she had sex with Trump once and then carried on a subsequent yearslong platonic relationship. But the lawsuit filed Tuesday refers to her beginning an “intimate relationship” with Trump in 2006 that continued “well into the year 2007.” She said the relationship included encounters in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, and Beverly Hills, California. Trump married his current wife, Melania Trump, in 2005. She also has also previously denied through a lawyer that the two had an affair, but Avenatti said Wednesday that was to meet the terms of the nondisclosure agreement. Trump’s attorney Michael Cohen has denied there was ever an affair. Cohen has said he paid the porn actress $130,000 out of his own pocket as part of the agreement. He has also said that “neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction with Ms. Clifford, and neither reimbursed me for the payment, either directly or indirectly.” The lawsuit charges that the Oct. 28, 2016, “hush agreement” is legally invalid because it was only signed by Clifford and Cohen. The agreement refers to Trump as David Dennison and Clifford as Peggy Peterson, but an attached exhibit details their true identities. On Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said Trump has “made very well clear that none of these allegations are true.” “The president has denied the allegations against him and again this case has already been won in arbitration,” Sanders said.
