Hullivan noted that as the final tallies were still coming in, overall, the book sale “went beyond expectations.” “By noontime we had exceeded by a little the goal we had set,” said Hullivan. The Friends group is active throughout the year with fund- raisers which allows them to fund several Westfield Athenaeum programs and services. Programs that are supported by the Friends group include the Museum Pass Program, the fall and spring lecture series, and the children and adult summer read- ing club programs. The Friends group meets the first Tuesday of the month starting at 6:30 p.m. All members are welcome to attend regu- lar board meetings to share ideas. For more information, visit www.westath.org.

PAGE 6 - TUESDAY, MAY 1, 2018 www.thewestfieldnews.com THE WESTFIELD NEWS HEALTHFITNESS Schools fret as teens take to vaping, even in classrooms BOSTON (AP) — Sneaking a cigarette in the school bath- room? How quaint. Today’s teens have taken to vaping, an alternative to smoking that’s so discreet they can do it without even leaving the classroom. Health and education officials across the country are raising alarms over wide underage use of e-cigarettes and other vap- ing products. The devices heat liquid into an inhalable vapor that’s sold in sugary flavors like mango and mint — and often with the addictive drug nicotine. They’re marketed to smokers as a safer alternative to traditional cigarettes, but officials say they’re making their way to teens with surprising ease. A new wave of smaller vapes has swept through schools in recent months, officials say, replacing bulkier e-cigarettes from the past. It’s now common in some schools to find stu- dents crowded into bathrooms to vape, or performing vape tricks in class. “We’ve seen significant increases across the student body,” said Robert Keuther, principal at Marshfield High School on In this Wednesday, April 11, 2018 photo, an unidentified 15-year-old high school student uses a vaping device near the the south shore of Massachusetts. “This is not something spe- school’s campus in Cambridge, Mass.

(AP Photo/Steven Senne) Vaping devices are notoriously difficult to detect for schools, often leaving behind only a quick puff of vapor and a light fruity scent. Students get away with it in bathrooms, halls and even classrooms, where some say they exhale the vapor into their shirts. Although buying e-cigarettes is illegal under age 18 — and some states have bumped the minimum age to 21 — students say they can buy them online or from older friends. Some say there are dozens available for sale in school hallways at any given time. The rise of teen vaping has sparked concern among parents, politicians and federal health authorities, who on Tuesday announced a nationwide crackdown on underage sales of e-cigarettes. The Food and Drug Administration issued a warning to retail stores as part of its new operation against illegal sales. It also requested marketing and design documents from the maker of the Juul, a popular vape product that is shaped like a flash drive. The agency says it’s looking into whether certain features are specifically appealing to young people. In this Wednesday, April 11, 2018 photo, an unidentified Some schools have been inundated by the Juul, which dis- 15-year-old high school student displays a vaping device near penses a flavored vapor containing higher concentrations of the school’s campus in Cambridge, Mass.

(AP) — The father of a veteran with post- traumatic stress disorder who was shot at a government clinic in Oregon blames Veterans Affairs for letting down his son. Gilbert “Matt” Negrete, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, is in jail in the former timber town of Medford, charged with attempted assault and other crimes after he allegedly displayed a knife during a confrontation at the VA clinic in nearby White City on Jan. 25. A VA guard shot him in the chest. “First they shoot him, now they’re gonna try to put him away,” his father, Gilbert Negrete, told The Associated Press in a Facebook message. “You would think they would have some concern about us. My son needs help not prison.” VA spokesman Curt Cashour said the agency doesn’t provide care to a jailed veteran if the detaining agency has the duty to provide it. “While a veteran — or any individual — is incarcer- ated, the duty to provide his/her medical care generally rests with the prison or jail,” Cashour said in an email from Washington. Matt Negrete, the father of three children, had become upset when he went to the clinic for treatment and was told to come back later, said Christine Kantas Herbert, his court-appointed attorney. The sheriff’s office says Negrete was paranoid and incoherent and that investigators were told he hadn’t com- plained about health care or VA policies. “Mr. Negrete returned from combat seeking treatment and was turned away, time and time again,” Herbert said. Brent Brooks, who served with Negrete in the 10th Mountain Division, said he was a “really driven, goal-oriented” soldier. Their unit maintained Kiowa helicopters and sometimes came under mortar fire. In Afghanistan, their second deployment, a mortar round tore apart a wooden shack 20 yards (meters) from their own, wounding all the soldiers inside, Brooks said. Negrete, whose bail is set at $265,000, faces trial on charges stemming from incidents over three days — including driving under the influence of a controlled substance, attempting to elude police and menacing — that culminated in the clinic incident, said Deputy District Attorney Laure Cromwell. Gilbert Negrete, who had driven his son to the clinic and witnessed the shooting, said he has recovered from his chest wound but is receiving no psychological help besides medica- tion. Brooks said the VA should have provided better care for his friend and headed off his breakdown. “He’s being punished because it got to the point where he couldn’t take it anymore.” Brooks said in a telephone interview from Waterloo, Iowa. “It’s sad, because it can happen to any of our veterans. Others try to get help, and wind up dead or in jail.” Military veterans are 22 percent more likely to kill them- selves than non-veterans, and up to 20 percent of Iraq or Afghanistan vets have PTSD in a given year, the VA says.

We’re both in our 50s and attractive. I work with him as his administrator. He’s a real estate agent. Our receptionist is about 30 years old and very beautiful. She’s been with the office for five years. They talk and are office friends. Recently, my husband bumped into her on the road. He Literary Awards honked to get her attention and asked her out for tea. I just so happened to call him while he was having the tea in her car, as it was a drive-thru coffee shop. When I called him, he did not dis- close he was with the receptionist. He just said he was on his way home. I was suspicious, so I drove down the road he usually takes home from work. I noticed that both cars were parked near the coffee shop and that my husband was in the receptionist’s car having tea with her. When I talked to him later, he said hadn’t told me he was with her because he thought I would have been angry. He said he wants to have a relationship with me in which he can be com- pletely honest but knew I wouldn’t understand that it was just a friendship thing and nothing more. I talked to both of them and said it was very inappropriate behavior and it should never hap- pen again. I have also told my husband that his phone and where- abouts should be an open book right now until he gains my trust. I do believe it was only a friendship thing, as my husband does talk and socialize with both men and women all the time. Any advice would be appreciated. Do you think it’s OK for a married man to have tea with his secretary? -- Miffed Dear Miffed: Having tea with a co-worker is perfectly OK. So why would your husband lie about it? Maybe there’s some- thing going on between them, but it’s more likely he was trying to avoid the sort of embarrassing scene that ended up transpiring. Take a step back and look at your actions. You immediately jumped in the car and patrolled his commute route. Then you scolded him and your longtime mutual colleague. Then you set rules he must follow to earn back your trust. All over the “very inappropriate” act of having tea with a co-worker in public. Yes, it was wrong of him to lie -- but if this is any indication of your past behavior, you can’t fully blame him. If you believe that your husband has been unfaithful, I encour- age you to explore the issue together in marriage counseling. But it sounds as though, even by your own account, he’s given you no cause for real concern. If that’s the case, consider seeing a counselor on your own, someone who could help you dig up the In this file photo dated Friday, April 17, 2015, a national library employee shows the gold Nobel Prize medal awarded to roots of your insecurity.

The economics prize, which is not directly related to Nobel’s will, began in 1968 and has never not been awarded annually. The Swedish Academy’s internal feud was triggered by a sex-abuse scandal linked to Jean-Claude Arnault, a major cul- tural figure in Sweden who is also the husband of poet Katarina Frostenson, an academy member. Last fall, a leading Swedish newspaper published sexual misconduct claims from 18 women against Arnault, who runs a cultural center the academy used to help fund. The 71-year- old Arnault has denied the allegations, but police say they are investigating some of them. Swedish daily newspaper Svenska Dagbladet first reported the multiple allegations against Arnault last year. In April, the newspaper published a story alleging that Arnault pawed Sweden’s Crown Princess Victoria 12 years ago, letting his hand slide from her neck to her rear.
