Gun charges moved to superior court

Fuel assistance enrollment period open

By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A city man charged with assault and firearms infractions saw his charges in Westfield District Court dismissed Friday and will answer the complaints in Hampden Superior Court where more rigorous sentencing options are available.

James J. McConkey, 23, of 51 Rachael Terrace had been arrested May 16, 2014, after he allegedly menaced another man with a pistol.

On that day, police report, a Phelps Avenue resident had called police seeking assistance because, she said, a male

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Winter is fast approaching and for many residents the cold weather also brings a struggle to keep their homes warm, a concern discussed last week by the Municipal Light Board (MLB) which sets policy for the Westfield Gas & Electric Department.

Annually, the MLB approves funding for two programs to assist city residents, funding in addition to federal and state home heating assistance. Last week the board debated if the current funding level for its Westfield Warm Program is adequate or if it should increase the level of funding available.

The MLB, in recent years, has approved $55,000 annually to assist city residents with their winter heating gas and electric bills. Those funds are dispersed through the Valley Opportunity Council (VOC) Low Income Heating Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and supplement state and federal funding available.

VOC does not have a specific budget for city residents, the amount paid is directly proportional to the number of residents who apply and deemed eligible according to a formula developed by the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development.

The Warm Program was established in 1993 to assist WG&E ratepayers experiencing financial hardship. The WG&E provides office space for a VOC representative at its 100 Elm Street business office and assistance is also available through the Salvation Army Good Neighbor Energy Program on Arnold Street a short distance from the WG&E location.

Residents of neighboring communities can apply for the LIHEAP funding through the VOC counselor at the WG&E office or Salvation Army office on Arnold Street.

Ward 6 Commissioner Robert Sacco asked WG&E General Manager Dan Howard if the Warm Program funding has kept up with inflation as the cost of natural gas and electricity, generated by gas fueled plants.

“Has the grant amount increased?,” Sacco asked. “Ten years ago Warm may have provided a resident with $150 to pay a $200 monthly bill, but now that same resident might be seeing a $700 monthly bill.”

Howard said the financial aid

Bust may involve seized $1.1 million

By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A city man whose activities served as a catalyst – at least – for the seizure last month of about 118 pounds of marijuana and more than $1.1 million in cash was himself arrested Friday morning on what may be unrelated narcotics charges.

City police have stated that an investigation into alleged narcotics trafficking by Dennis Leo Blair, 38, of 19 Shepard St., began more than a year ago and the city officers received assistance from the Eastern Hampden County Narcotics Task Force.

City detectives, assisted by officers from the task force and representatives of the federal Drug Enforcement Agency, made their move early in the morning of Friday, Oct. 17, when officers followed Blair as he drove away from his home.

Not only were they armed with a warrant, they also knew that Blair’s license to drive had been suspended so DENNIS L. BLAIR they were able to stop and arrest him at their leisure.

With Blair in custody, the officers continued to a self-storage facility on Springfield Road in Agawam where he was known to rent a unit and a warrant was executed.

While officers were on the scene at the storage business, a vehicle drove in but immediately left at a high rate of speed, presumably after the operator saw the officers in the storage yard.

Officers gave chase to the fleeing vehicle and caught up to it in Suffield, Conn., after the operator had abandoned the car and fled.

The officers were able to determine who owned the car and a cross-check at the storage company revealed that the owner of the car also rented a storage locker there.

The K-9 team from Southwick was asked to assist and Officer Tom Krutka and his partner, ‘Jax’, responded.

Jax immediately found something of interest and city detectives secured the storage locker while

More than 100 pounds of marijuana and more than $1 million in cash seized in Agawam Oct. 17 may be connected to a city man arrested on narcotics charges Friday. (File photo by Carl E. Hartdegen) other members of the task force sought a warrant.

With a warrant in hand, the locker was opened and large amounts of marijuana and money were found.

“It was amazing” one participant said later, “it (the contraband) was all over the place in hockey bags.”

The contraband was transported to the Agawam police station where it was inventoried.

The money reportedly totaled $1.17 million and the marijuana was found to be “118 pounds of high quality marijuana with an estimated street value of $384,000.”

Officers apparently have not been able to connect Blair with the suspect who fled and they may not, in fact, have any connection.

At least one officer has speculated that the missing man’s appearance at the storage facility may have been prompted by the telephone call Blair made when he was booked on the motor vehicle charge. Blair’s arrest Friday morning was based on what was found in his home and storage unit when the original warrant was executed that

day.

Det. James Renaudette reports that when Blair’s home was searched, contraband found included five individually wrapped bags of marijuana, small amounts of crack cocaine, packaging material for both marijuana and cocaine and “3 used, gallon-size Zip-loc bags that contained a green-leafy matter.”

In the storage locker, Renaudette reports, officers found marijuana growing equipment and chemicals, more packaging materials, scales with traces of cocaine, three marijuana pipes and three bags of marijuana. Also in the storage unit was a Cadillac Escalade and two cellphones.

Renaudette found that Blair had been convicted, in Hampden Superior Court in 2012, of possession with intent to distribute both Class B (cocaine) and Class D (marijuana) substances.

Renaudette noted that Blair has a history of defaulting on court appearances so a warrant was See Bust, Page 3

Firefighters rescue dog stuck on roof for 3 days YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) — Firefighters in northern Ohio came to the rescue of a dog that neighbors say had been stuck on a roof for three days.

Dozens watched as Youngstown firefighters and police officers brought the Rottweiler to safety on Saturday.

It took them about an hour to rescue the dog that had escaped from a hole in the attic of the three-story house.

A man who lives across the street told The Vindicator (http://bit.ly/1w5cof4 ) newspaper in Youngstown that he had called authorities about the dog a couple of times.

The dog’s owner showed up during the rescue. He told authorities that he’d been staying with a friend the past week and didn’t know the dog had gotten out.

is based on the current “average bill over one year” of the resident seeking assistance. Howard said the Warm Program money never actually leaves the department, but is held in the Warm Program account and applied to a resident’s utility bill after the department receives a VOC LIHEAP voucher indicating eligibility.

Ward 1 Commissioner Kevin Kelleher said “Bob’s concern has always been are we sufficiently funding this program, do we have enough of a cushion for a bad winter?”

MLB Chairman Tom Flaherty said following the meeting that the board “is concerned about people who do need assistance and who qualify (under the state guidelines), but at the same time we want to ensure the money is used efficiently, that it has sufficiently funds so that people in need are not being turned away.

“The board has approved money for this program over the past 20 years and more funds are available this year than in the past,” Flaherty said. “It’s a good program and I hope people on fixed or low income apply. We want to be proactive, reaching out to residents through the Council on Aging, churches and social service agencies to let people know about this assistance is available.”

Assistance through the Warm Program generally ranges between $100 and $500. The majority of residents are provided with Warm Program assistance during the fourth quarter, October, November and December of the WG&E’s fiscal year which is based upon the calendar year, but assistance is also available during the winter months after the New Year.

Residents who may qualify for assistance this winter are encouraged to act is now.

The application period for residents seeking financial assistance under LIHEAP for the 2014-2015 heating season continues through April 30, 2015.

Any resident who may need assistance during the upcoming winter under this program must apply during this time period to qualify. Homeowners and renters, including those with heat included in their rent can apply.

The suspect had left the house before officers arrived but Officer Effrain Luna reports that he observed the described vehicle leaving the area and followed it until additional officer caught up to help with the vehicular stop.

McConkey was stopped on Broadway and told officers that his gun was under his seat.

Luna reports that a 9 mm Smith and Wesson automatic pistol was found with one round chambered and four more in the twelve-shot magazine.

charges of possession of a Class B drug with intent to distribute and possession of a Class D drug with intent to distribute.

Both infractions were charged as subsequent offenses.

In setting bail, Contant noted that Blair “has (an) extensive record of convictions/incarcerations (which) go back to 1994” and that he has “at least 8 prior appearance defaults.”

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 10 Continued from Page 1 McConkey, who was found to have no firearms identification card, was arrested.

He was arraigned later in the day before Judge Philip A. Contant in Westfield District Court and charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, carrying a firearm without a license, possession of ammunition without a FID card, possession of a large capacity firearm and improper storage of a firearm.

Luna reports that, at his arraignment, McConkey acknowledged the incident and said that he had been upset with the victim because the other man had often called police to complain about McConkey’s friends who live in the apartment above his

girlfriend’s apartment.

At the hearing, Luna said, the victim testified that he had yelled a demand for quiet to his girlfriend’s neighbors shortly before McConkey appeared at his girlfriend’s door.

Luna testified that McConkey said that he bought the gun while he was stationed at Fort Hood in Texas but subsequently sold it to a friend there. However, McConkey said, he agreed to keep the gun for his friend when the other man was deployed and had no safe place to store the pistol while he was gone.

McConkey faces the possibility of more severe sentencing when his case is heard in

WESTFIELD superior court.

A district court judge may impose sentences of no more than two and a half years incarceration in a house of correction whereas a superior court judge may impose sentences of as much as life imprisonment in a state prison.

For example, if convicted of the assault with a dangerous weapon charge in district court McConkey could be sentenced to a two and half year term in a house of correction. However, a conviction on the same charge in superior court could send him to state prison for five years.

A hearing date in superior court has not been set.

Volunteers keep Worcester trails tidy

By THOMAS CAYWOOD Telegram & Gazette WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) — If you’ve ever gone for a nature hike in the city, you can thank somebody like Gordon Larrivee for the fact that the trail wasn’t overgrown, eroded away or blocked by fallen trees.

A couple of times a month, Mr. Larrivee grabs a saw or loppers to walk a trail as part of a cadre of volunteers who take care of the Greater Worcester Land Trust parcels sprinkled throughout the city.

“I’ve got the time. I’ve got the energy. And if someone didn’t do it, it wouldn’t be there to enjoy,” said Mr. Larrivee, a retiree who lives in Worcester. “It’s not art, but you are out there creating something.”

He’s been volunteering for trail work with the group for about two years now.

The trust’s executive director, Colin Novick, said it wouldn’t be possible to keep the trails maintained without the help of many dedicated volunteers.

“Not just sort of impossible.

It would be completely impossible,” Mr. Novick said Monday afternoon as he and three volunteers crunched through the dry leaves along the Tetasset Ridge Trail off Mill Street.

“We’ve got a great crew of folks,” he said. “It’s all an act of love by dozens and dozens of people who live in the city.”

Mr. Novick jokes that he pays for trail work in coffee, cookies, pizza and gratitude.

The volunteers say they also get a sense of accomplishment and new friendships too.

“I like the camaraderie.

Everyone we work with is great. They’re easygoing.

They’re fun to talk to, fun to hang out with,” volunteer Paula Arsenault said.

Government Meetings

Ms. Arsenault, a stay-athome mom who lives in the city, said she first heard about the trail work from a Facebook posting.

“I decided to wander down and check it out. At first, I was doing the log hewing, but there was only one other person who does the routing for the signs, so they said, ‘Yeah, sure, give it a try.’ “ Nearly three years later, she still spends most of her volunteer time guiding a whirling router bit through oak planks, helping to churn out a series of trailhead signs to mark the trust’s many properties.

“She’s our specialist,” Mr. Novick said.

The handsome, rustic signs are intended to make the public open space more visible to residents.

While motorists might speed right past a hard-to-see footpath leading off into the woods, the signs supported by rough-hewn posts of black locust are bound to attract attention and curiosity.

Ms. Arsenault said she’ll keep at it with her router as deep into the winter as it’s possible to shovel out the trust’s work shed.

“It just kind of clears the mind. It’s so loud, and you have to pay attention to what you’re doing, so it just sort of blocks everything out,” Ms. Arsenault said.

Mr. Novick isn’t sure exactly how many miles of trails wind through the remaining woods of Worcester, but he has an intern working on the calculation.

The trust, which was formed in 1987, now manages 2,319 acres of mostly wooded open space in and around the city.

While a small group of nature lovers volunteer for trail and sign work dozens of times a year, some people pitch in for one day, he said.

(AP Photo/Telegram & Gazette, John Ferrarone)

“We like to have a mix,” Mr. Novick said. “It’s a neat entree.

People come out and volunteer for a day of service, and we say, ‘Come on back and use these properties.’ We see increase use of these properties as essential to protecting them.”

In his four years as a regular volunteer, Ron Sabulis of Worcester has painted many of the blue, yellow and red blazes that keep hikers on the right path.

A retired computer programmer and systems analyst, the 71-year-old volunteer said he got involved with the trust simply because he was looking for something meaningful and rewarding to do with his time.

Outdoor trail work seemed especially appealing after spending his work life sitting in front of a computer screen.

“Off the butt and into the woods,” he said. “It’s an opportunity to meet people and get outside.”

Over the years, he’s become attached to the trails he works on. He finds some people are surprised to learn Worcester has an extensive network of hiking trails.

“We need to get out and advocate for these trails,” Mr. Sabulis said. “I don’t think people are aware of what a resource we have here in Worcester.”

President presses China on climate The Chinese government has been trying to clear the air

By Josh Gerstein Politico.com BEIJING — The Chinese government has been trying to clear the air so that President Barack Obama and other world leaders arriving here this week won’t choke on the city’s thick smog.

Despite forcing cars off the roads and closing factories, the effort has faltered, as air pollution rose to “unhealthy” levels Friday and Saturday. But the Obama administration is hoping that this environmental stumble provides an opportunity to clear a different type of air while in China: the climate of fraught negotiations between the two countries over global warming.

People briefed on the administration’s strategy heading into Obama’s meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping this week say U.S. officials hope the bad air quality will prod the government to finally make a significant commitment to fight climate change.

Arguments about the health of the planet and the flooding of coastal cities don’t seem to have registered with China’s economyfocused government, so American officials have shifted their pitch to focus more on the ground pollution and thick haze that have caused expats to flee cities like Beijing and investors to grow wary.

Secretary of State John Kerry slipped the argument into his address Saturday to American business leaders in Beijing for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit. Obama arrived Monday to participate in the summit and will then hold meetings with his Chinese counterpart on Tuesday and Wednesday.

“This is a win-win-win-win-win,” Kerry said of the drive to use cleaner energy sources. “You gain in security, you gain in energy independence, energy capacity. You gain in health, where you have air that’s cleaner. In Beijing that is an issue. You have air that’s cleaner, and you don’t have kids that are hospitalized because of asthma.”

A potential deal would have both the U.S. and China commit by the first quarter of 2015 to specific targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that would take effect in the years after 2020 as part of a U.N.-led process. Commitments from the two superpowers could spur other countries to get off the sidelines and make their own pledges ahead of a major climate conference set to take place in Paris next year and a ground-laying meeting being held next month in Lima, Peru.

To further this goal, Obama counselor John Podesta has emerged, quietly, as the administration’s point man on the issue with China. He has held sensitive consultations with Chinese officials, popping up recently in some unusual venues to press climate change commitments.

When Kerry sat down in his hometown of Boston last month for talks with a top Chinese official, Podesta was on hand. Days later, Podesta traveled to Beijing for a conference devoted to Afghanistan, but the White House counselor also arranged a face-to-face meeting with Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli to work through climate-related issues to be discussed at this week’s Obama-Xi summit.

Still, it’s not clear that his efforts will pay off. White House officials said Friday that, while deals have already been struck with the Chinese on other initiatives to be announced during Obama’s visit, no agreements had yet been reached on climate change.

At the same time, the administration has given the issue a lower public profile in order not to raise expectations that won’t be met and to avoid startling top Chinese officials who may still be mulling how to respond to the American overtures. China hands also warn that an announcement on climate change during the president’s visit would play well for Obama but might not be desired by the Chinese, who for political reasons wouldn’t want the move to be seen as a result of American pressure.

Which is one of the reasons that U.S. officials think focusing on China’s smog problem presents a good opening: This way the issue is tied to what’s important for China, for its own domestic needs, and not just seen as an American power play.

Already, the pollution here has sparked popular unrest that has clearly spooked Chinese leaders. Earlier this year, many Beijing residents donned masks or stayed indoors as the air quality repeated exceeded the top, “hazardous” international air pollution standard. The brownish haze became so intense that Chinese citizens See Climate, Page 8

By Adam Behsudi Politico.com BEIJING – Less than a week after the midterm drubbing, President Barack Obama has arrived in China for an AsiaPacific summit with the chance to throw his weight behind the biggest trade deal in U.S. history.

It’s a common shift for lame-duck presidents: Losing control of Congress in their second terms has been a signal it’s time to gaze outward and effect international change.

In a speech here to Fortune 500 CEOs on Monday, Obama continued in that tradition, saying he is working to conclude a final Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal that would cover nearly 40 percent of the global economy.

“I just met with several other members of the TPP who share my desire to make this agreement a reality,” Obama said.

“We’re going to keep on working to get it done, for we believe this is the model for trade in the 21st century.”

But as the talks on the 12-country trade pact near the endgame after nearly five years, the other countries involved are likely to test Obama’s mettle in his bid to bring the deal home.

In many ways, the U.S. attempt to craft a so-called “gold standard” trade agreement with the diverse group of AsiaPacific countries is comparable to Obama’s dealings with an unruly Congress.

Japan has been tenacious in pushing to protect its powerful farming interests with high tariffs on beef, pork and dairy products, among others – a significant problem given the country’s economic might. Vietnam wants to keep using cheap Chinese fabric and still get tariffs reduced on its apparel exports. Peru seeks access to inexpensive medicines, pushing back against U.S. demands for strong drug patent protections. Malaysia and Singapore want to exempt massive state-owned companies from rules against unfair competition. Canada frets over access to U.S. public works projects. Australia seeks a boost for beef and wool exports. New Zealand wants the same for its dairy products.

“Other countries have burdens,” said Myron Brilliant, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s executive vice president and head of international affairs, in an interview in Beijing. “Japan certainly has a burden to move more forcefully on the market access issues. Canada has work to do. Vietnam has work to do.

Australia has work to do. Japan is not alone, nor is the United States. But it starts with presidential leadership in Washington.”

Such were the issues at play on Saturday, when trade ministers from the TPP countries huddled at the U.S. embassy in Beijing in a last-minute push for progress before Obama and other leaders met to assess the deal’s status. The sprawling diplomatic compound serves as neutral ground in a country that has viewed the U.S-led trade pact as part of a containment strategy. China, which is hosting the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit this week where the separate TPP negotiations are taking place, hasn’t been invited to participate in the talks; it’s advancing what many see as a lower-standard trade agreement, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, which would compete with U.S. efforts in this part of the world.

But now, the midterm elections in the U.S. appear to have handed Obama’s trade agenda back to him on a silver platter.

In his first post-election press conference, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), the presumptive next majority leader, singled out trade as one of the main areas where Obama and the Republican majority in Congress can work together.

“Most of his party is unenthusiastic about international trade.

We think it’s good for America,” McConnell said.

Utah Republican Orrin Hatch, who’s set to become chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, has already cosponsored a “trade promotion authority” (TPA) bill that would give Obama the backing he needs to negotiate the Asia-Pacific trade pact.

The legislation shields unratified agreements from amendments, providing trading partners with the reassurance that their hard-won concessions won’t be diluted or completely undone during congressional debate.

“I think the foreigners recognize that,” said Jeff Schott, senior trade scholar at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, referring to the new opportunity that the midterm elections have dealt Obama. “I think they have been negotiating, and they haven’t really toned down their negotiating because of the absence of TPA, but this will give some encouragement.”

U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman noted the renewed prospects in an interview in Beijing.

“This could well be one of the areas where Congress and the president work together and get something meaningfully done,” Froman said.

For the administration, the Asia-Pacific trade deal is the economic centerpiece of its strategic “pivot” to Asia, which aims to rebalance America’s interests from the Middle East and

Europe and counter China’s growing influence. The pact would dwarf the North American Free Trade Agreement, covering an estimated 40 percent of global gross domestic product.

Without the agreement, there’s only the military-heavy security side of the proposed strategic shift, “which neither serves the complex interests of the United States in the region, nor does it really give Obama much to point to as part of his legacy,” said Frank Jannuzi, president of the Asia-policy focused Mansfield Foundation, during a trade discussion at the Korea Economic Institute of America in Washington last week.

“So, I think that he wants it,” Jannuzi said. “The question really in my mind is, how will he work for it, and how much leadership will he show to get it?”

For their part, Froman and his negotiators have already been on the ground in Beijing for days prior to the president’s arrival. Just over two weeks earlier, negotiators and ministers held several days of meetings in Australia to advance the negotiations.

“For the last 16 months there’s been heightened intensity in the negotiations including on the ministerial level,” Froman said. “Over the last few months, there has been very significant progress in terms of closing out issues, narrowing the differences on remaining issues, and particularly in the last month or so a heightened degree of momentum and focus on reaching a successful conclusion.”

Still, the president faces an increasingly tight time period in which to get the Asia-Pacific trade deal concluded before the 2016 presidential campaign starts in earnest.

“The U.S. recognizes the window is so short for them,” said Deborah Elms, executive director of the Singapore-based Asian Trade Center, in an interview in Beijing.

If a deal isn’t inked and sent to Congress by May or June, it will most likely be delayed until the next president takes office in 2017, she said.

“After five years of negotiations, they’ve aired all the issues,” Elms said. “You have to close TPP whether you have TPA or not.”

But even with Obama’s call Monday for advancing the trade agreement, there’s no guarantee other countries will listen.

Japan in particular has thrown up the biggest obstruction to closing the agreement.

At the outset, it was no secret that Tokyo would defend sensitive agricultural goods from competing foreign products.

With the Japanese economy in need of a jump start, the U.S. maybe too naively thought Prime Minister Shinzo Abe could marginalize his country’s powerful agriculture lobby for the greater economic good.

That assumption proved to be wrong. Bilateral market access negotiations have crept along, and, by some reports, resentment between the two sides has only grown deeper in the process.

Froman, maybe in an attempt to prod Tokyo towards concessions, penned an editorial in the Financial Times calling out Japan’s reluctance to offer meaningful tariff cuts.

“That was insulting to the Japanese government,” said Nobuhiko Suto, a former three-term member of Japan’s legislature, the Diet.

Suto leads the “Citizens Congress for Opposing the TransPacific Partnership” and described an “enormous gap” that he says still exists between the U.S. and Japan on agriculture.

Despite indications late last week that the two sides may finally be emerging from their deadlock, Suto said the Japanese government is still treading cautiously, and a final deal could still be weeks or months in the future. Such a breakthrough is considered critical because the other negotiating countries have been waiting to see the outcome of the U.S.-Japan talks before tipping their hands on the level of compromise they’d ultimately be willing to make.

For Abe, any backlash over the potential trade concessions would come at a bad time. His Cabinet has been rocked by recent scandals after two ministers resigned over accusations that their offices misused campaign funds, and the prime minister has to make a politically caustic decision by year’s end on whether to raise the national sales tax in an effort to rein in Japan’s massive public debt.

Deciding to drastically reduce agricultural import tariffs would risk alienating Japanese farmers, a major power base of Abe’s Liberal Democratic Party, just as a politically important nationwide string of local elections approaches in the spring.

“This is almost committing suicide if they decide to decrease import taxes,” Suto said.

But Abe’s political perils aren’t the only significant obstacle for the White House: The president’s own leadership style could cause problems too.

Obama has shown a lack of engagement with Congress on legislative initiatives, which as Jannuzi described it amounts to “essentially off-loading responsibility onto Congress’ shoulders and saying, ‘Look, you’re the legislators. It’s not my job to dictate to you exactly what your TPA authorities are going See Trade, Page 7

Law requires fingerprinting of all school staff Huntington – “An Act Relative to Background Checks” (Chapter 459 of the Acts of 2012) expanded the criminal background checks on everyone working with students in Massachusetts public, private, parochial, special education and child care facilities to now require fingerprinting at the staff person’s expense.

The new law adds electronic fingerprinting to the Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) checks that are already done on all school staff and volunteers every three years. It involves teachers, paraprofessionals, substitute teachers, secretaries, nurses, custodians, cafeteria workers, after-school program staff, bus drivers and administrators.

Massachusetts is using MorphoTrust USA IdentoGo™ as its fingerprinting vendor, statewide. In Western Massachusetts, IdentoGo has increased its offices from Pittsfield and Springfield to now include Greenfield, North Adams and Northampton, although some of the new sites may only be open one or two days a week. If a minimum of 35 people sign up in advance, a mobile unit may also be dispatched to a school site. IdentoGo fingerprinted Gateway employees at the Huntington complex on Wednesday, November 5; the appointments had filled within 24 hours of announcing the event.

Once the fingerprints are taken, using an electronic scanning device, they are sent to the Massachusetts State Police for statewide analysis, and to the Federal Bureau of Investigations for Left to right, Gateway Business Manager Stephanie Fisk was first in line when IdentoGo came to the district on November national analysis.

Unlike the CORI record checks, which are free to school 5; Corey Stenquist took her fingerprints electronically. (Photo employees and volunteers, fingerprinting comes with a fee of submitted) $55 for licensed educators and specialists, and $35 for nonlicensed personnel. Fees are paid at the employees own require fingerprinting of school employees. Superintendent David Hopson was the first Gateway employee to complete the expense.

The law made Massachusetts the 50th state in the country to fingerprinting requirement, which he did on March 31, 2014.

Blood drive at Gateway Regional High School Huntington – “We’re just short of 50 sign-ups now,” noted organizer Dominick Zobel, a senior at Gateway Regional High School. Zobel, founder of Gateway’s new Red Cross Club, has given up lunch every day for two weeks to recruit donors. “But we need at least 15 more to reach our goal.”

Northampton mulls turning off parking lot lights NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (AP) — A battle is brewing in Northampton over a proposal that would require businesses to turn off the lights in their parking lots at night.

Supporters of the measure being discussed at city council meetings say it would save energy and cut down on light pollution, making the starry sky more visible at night.

But opponents, including Police Chief Russell Sienkiewicz, say dark parking lots encourage criminal activity. The chief told councilors at a recent meeting that lighting is the second most important tool in crime prevention, after increased patrols.

The Daily Hampshire Gazette (http://bit.ly/1oBB0OW) reports that no decisions were made at last week’s meeting.

Councilors instead will take more time to study the issue and seek input from business owners who may be affected by such a change.

Hampden Bancorp, Inc. reports First Quarter Earnings and declares Cash Dividend SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Nov. 4, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hampden Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq:HBNK), the holding company for Hampden Bank (the “Bank”), announced earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Net income was $1.2 million, or $0.22 per fully diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $1.2 million, or $0.22 per fully diluted share, for the same period in 2013.

Net interest income increased by $444,000, or 9.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013. Interest and dividend income increased $465,000, or 7.6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period last year mainly due to a $415,000 increase in loan interest income.

For the three months ended September 30, 2014, interest expense increased by $21,000, or 1.7%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013, which included a decrease in deposit interest expense of $70,000 due to a decrease in rates partially offset by an increase in the average balance of deposits.

There was an increase in borrowing interest expense of $91,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period last year due to an increase in average balances partially offset by a decrease in rates. The net interest margin increased to 3.17% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 3.08% for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in margin was mainly due to an increase in the yield on interest-earning assets from 3.87% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 to 3.93% for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

The provision for loan losses increased $50,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013.

For the three months ended September 30, 2014, total non-interest income decreased $135,000, or 12.2%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 there was a $137,000, or 43.5%, decrease in other noninterest income which was mainly due to a $99,000 decrease in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights and a $25,000 decrease in OREO rental income due to the sale of an OREO property. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company had an $115,000 gain on the sale of loans compared to $86,000 for the same period in 2013.

Non-interest expense increased $315,000 or 7.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013. There was a $262,000,

or 11.8%, increase in salaries and employee benefits due to an increase in the number of employees; a $121,000, or 13.8%, increase in other general and administrative expenses; and a $73,000, or 35.9%, increase in data processing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The Company’s combined federal and state effective tax rate remained flat at 36.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013.

Overview Glenn S. Welch, President and CEO stated, “Earnings remained stable compared to first quarter fiscal 2014 and prior quarter. However, net interest income showed an increase compared to first quarter fiscal 2014 and prior quarter as a result of the significant loan growth and an improvement in our asset yield with our continued emphasis on growing commercial loans. The majority of the increase in non-interest expense over the same quarter fiscal 2014 was centered in payroll expenses as the full impact of staggered hires last year are all built into this quarter. The expenses are in line with company projections and are expected to be more than offset by the continued increase in net interest income. Margin compression stabilized over the last year and increased this quarter due to increases in the yield on assets. We expect this trend to continue.

Asset quality continues to be good, albeit with a slight uptick in nonperforming loans to total loans this quarter primarily due to one commercial relationship experiencing cash flow issues: the loan is current, but shown as non-accrual until the Company determines that a turnaround is evident. During the fourth quarter of 2014, the uptick was related to one commercial loan and one jumbo residential loan. The residential property is for sale by its owner. Once again this quarter we are able to record some recoveries from previous conservative charge downs taken in prior quarters or years. Our allowance provides good coverage to our non-performing loans and compares favorably to our peers.

Our message has been consistent over the past few years: We are concentrating on capitalizing on our position in the community to be the bank for business in our market place.

Hampden Bank provides local, timely decision making delivered by a very experienced commercial lending team. Several of our senior management team, including the most senior level executives, are part of the decision making process and are available to meet with clients to understand their business needs. The larger national and regional institutions continue to provide opportunities for Hampden Bank to make in-roads into the

businesses that want to bank with an institution with a local presence and community orientation.

We believe our loan growth and an emphasis on expense control will allow us to continue to report strong earnings and deliver sustainable stockholder value.”

Balance Sheet The Company’s total assets increased $4.2 million, or 0.6%, from $701.5 million at June 30, 2014 to $705.7 million at September 30, 2014. Cash and cash equivalents increased $5.7 million, or 44.9%, from June 30, 2014 to September 30, 2014. Net loans, including loans held for sale, remained relatively flat with a small decrease of $436,000, or 0.1%, to $507.5 million at September 30, 2014. The decrease in net loans was due to two large loan payoffs in the commercial loan portfolio of $6.4 million and $4.1 million. The Company’s strategy continues to be focused on obtaining business loans. The Company’s local focus and ability to involve all of senior management combined with a capability to turn around loan decisions quickly has contributed to its strong loan growth without sacrificing loan quality or underwriting standards.

Non-performing assets totaled $6.7 million, or 0.95% of total assets, at September 30, 2014 compared to $5.5 million, or 0.78% of total assets, at June 30, 2014. Total non-performing assets included $6.6 million of nonperforming loans and $159,000 of other real estate owned. Other real estate owned decreased $150,000 from $309,000 at June 30, 2014 to $159,000 at September 30, 2014.

From June 30, 2014 to September 30, 2014, residential mortgage non-performing loans increased $222,000; commercial real estate non-performing loans increased $453,000; and commercial non-performing loans increased $817,000. As of September 30, 2014, consumer, including home equity and manufactured homes, non-performing loans have decreased $92,000. Impaired loans increased $764,000 to $10.5 million at September 30, 2014 compared to $9.8 million at June 30, 2014. Of the $10.5 million in impaired loans, $4.0 million, or 38.1%, are current with all payment terms. The Company has established $10,000 in specific reserves for impaired loans. The allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.13% and the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was 87.7% at September 30, 2014.

Management believes the allowance is sufficient to cover estimated losses at September 30, 2014.

Total liabilities increased $5.7 million, or 0.9%, from $614.3 million at June 30, 2014 to $620.0 million at September 30, 2014.

Deposits decreased $2.1 million, or 0.4%, to

$489.6 million at September 30, 2014 from $491.7 million at June 30, 2014. NOW deposits increased $7.2 million, and money market accounts increased $799,000. Savings accounts decreased $1.4 million, Demand accounts decreased $4.0 million, and time deposits decreased $4.6 million. The Company’s focus remains to increase core deposits and reduce its time deposits.

Short-term borrowings increased $8.0 million to $12.0 million at September 30, 2014 from $4.0 million at June 30, 2014. Longterm debt decreased $668,000, or 0.6%, to $111.8 million at September 30, 2014 from $112.4 million at June 30, 2014.

Stockholders’ equity decreased $1.5 million, or 1.7%, to $85.7 million at September 30, 2014 from $87.2 million at June 30, 2014.

During the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company purchased 127,700 shares of Company stock for $2.2 million at an average price of $17.05 per share pursuant to the Company’s previously announced stock repurchase programs. In addition, there was a $259,000 decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income from June 30, 2014 to September 30, 2014 due to the continued impact of the rising interest rate environment on the fair value of securities available for sale. Offsetting the increase in treasury stock and decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income was a $747,000 increase in retained earnings due to net income for the quarter offset by $425,000 in dividends paid, a $179,000 decrease in ESOP compensation and a $12,000 decrease in equity incentive plan compensation. Our ratio of capital to total assets decreased slightly to 12.1% at September 30, 2014 compared to 12.4% at June 30, 2014, and we remain well capitalized. The Company’s book value per share as of September 30, 2014 increased to $15.49 compared to $15.43 at June 30, 2014.

The Company also announced that the Board of Directors of the Company declared a $0.08 per common share quarterly cash dividend payable on November 28, 2014, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 14, 2014.

to look like.”

That approach stands in stark contrast with Clinton’s tactics on NAFTA and other major trade deals, in which the White House activated the entire Cabinet and went into constant-messaging mode, said Brian Pomper, a partner at the law firm Akin Gump Strauss Hauer and Feld and former trade counsel for the Senate Finance Committee, at the Korea institute discussion.

“During NAFTA, he invited business leaders from select districts, where they were trying to get members of Congress to support NAFTA,” Pomper said. “He would invite those business people to meet with the president in the Oval Office, get them all ginned up and then unleash them out on the Congress. And he did that repeatedly, week after week after week.

“I can’t imagine President Obama doing anything close to something like that,” he said.

At this time in the administration, “a lot of digital clocks are going along [showing] this is how many days we have left in office; what can we get done?” Pomper added later.

“And if TPA and trade are not on that list, that is professional malpractice. But wanting

it and getting it done, that’s two different things.”

Still, even with Obama and the GOP’s basic support, the legislation to expedite the Asia-Pacific pact’s approval by Congress could face a difficult path. The Republican agenda may well include efforts to block or overhaul Obamacare, modify the DoddFrank financial regulatory law and retaliate for the promised executive action on immigration reform “So, I worry about where the push politically will come to get this done,” Jannuzi said. “Tough trade agreements don’t get done without a political push. … There needs to be a champion for this, and if it’s not the Republican leadership, then I worry whether or not it gets done.” “[I]t will be all about who goes first and who shows the leadership,” he added. “My hope is that Obama early next year, in his State of the Union address, will say to Congress, ‘We may disagree on a lot of things, but here’s an area where we agree.

Let’s get it done, and let’s get it done sooner rather than later.”

Berkshire Hills and Hampden announce In-Market Merger PITTSFIELD, Mass. and SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Nov. 4, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Berkshire Hills Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE:BHLB) and Hampden Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq:HBNK) announced last week that they have signed a definitive merger agreement under which Berkshire will acquire Hampden and its subsidiary, Hampden Bank, in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $109 million.

Berkshire’s total assets will increase to $7.1 billion including the $706 million in acquired Hampden assets. This inmarket merger is expected to create efficiencies, strategic growth and market share benefits for the consolidated operations of the two banks in the Springfield area. Hampden operates 10 branches in the greater Springfield area and reported $508 million in net loans and $490 million in deposits as of September 30, 2014. Berkshire operates 11 branches with $627 million in deposits in this market. Berkshire will have a pro forma market cap of approximately $740 million and 100 branches serving customers and communities across New England and New York. Pro forma tangible equity to tangible assets is expected to improve to 7.4% when the merger is completed.

“We are pleased to welcome Hampden customers and employees to America’s Most Exciting Bank®,” said Michael P. Daly, President and CEO of Berkshire. “This in-market partnership will create a strong platform for serving our combined customers, while producing attractive returns for both our existing shareholders and the new shareholders from Hampden joining us in this transaction. We will move into the top 5 position in deposit market share and plan to use this opportunity to further capitalize on our strong product set and culture of customer engagement. This merger complements our expansion initiatives in Central Massachusetts and Hartford, a combined market area that is the second largest in New England.”

“We are delighted to be joining the Berkshire franchise,” commented Glenn S. Welch, President and CEO of Hampden.

“Our two banks share rich histories, consistent core values and a strong commitment to customers and communities. I’m proud of our 162 years of serving customers in our markets and believe the combination created by our two companies will benefit our clients, communities and shareholders.”

Michael P. Daly concluded, “This is a solid business combination with efficiency benefits. Hampden is a well run company with an attractive core deposit base and a significant presence in the community. After integration, the transaction is expected to be accretive to Berkshire’s earnings per share, return on equity, and capital. We have a strong track record of execution and our collective teams are positioned to complete this integration flawlessly.”

Under the terms of the merger agreement, each outstanding share of Hampden common stock will be exchanged for 0.81 shares of Berkshire Hills common stock. The merger is valued at $20.53 per share of Hampden common stock based on the $25.35 average closing price of Berkshire’s stock for the five day period ending November 3, 2014. The $20.53 per share value represents 133% of Hampden’s $15.49 tangible book value per share and a 6.0% premium to core deposits based on financial information as of September 30, 2014.

The transaction is intended to qualify as a reorganization for federal income tax purposes, and as a result, the shares of

Hampden common stock exchanged for shares of Berkshire common stock are expected to be transferred on a tax-free basis. The definitive agreement has been approved by the unanimous votes of the Boards of Directors of both companies. Consummation of the agreement is subject to the approval of Hampden’s shareholders, as well as state and federal regulatory agencies. The merger is targeted to be completed early in the second quarter of 2015. Two Hampden directors will be appointed to Berkshire’s board of directors and Glenn S. Welch will be joining Berkshire as Regional President for the Pioneer Valley and Connecticut. Berkshire and Hampden have created foundations for community charitable support which will continue to provide charitable contributions underscoring their mutual commitment to serving their local communities.

Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P. served as the financial advisor to Berkshire, and Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc. served as the financial advisor to Hampden. Luse Gorman Pomerenk & Schick, P.C. served as outside counsel to Berkshire, while Goodwin Procter LLP served as outside counsel to Hampden.

Climate

Continued from Page 4 began taking to social media and criticizing the government.

“I think the Chinese attitude has begun to change dramatically about this,” said former Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg.

“They’re beginning to understand the U.S., that their economic future depends on making a pivot away from pollution-driven industrial growth.”

Former U.S. Ambassador to China Jon Huntsman put it more bluntly. “They’re petrified because now it’s become a political issue,” he said, noting that the problem doesn’t just hurt public health but also economic investment in the country.

That fear is what the Obama administration is now looking to leverage.

“Senior Chinese officials get that solving air pollution in the right way also helps to solve their climate pollution,” said Jake Schmidt of the U.S.-based Natural Resources Defense Council. “Clearly pointing to the domestic benefits of climate change action is a message that I’m sure the U.S. is making with their Chinese counterparts. There is a receptive audience in China at this point, which is why China’s CO2 peaking in 2025 is gaining traction.”

When talks at the U.N. climate conference in Copenhagen in 2009 fell apart, China received much of the blame. However, many of the Chinese officials involved in that episode have now retired and been replaced by new figures, some of whom seem more flexible on climate issues.

Some China experts, though, say the U.S. hasn’t yet made the sale on connecting the fights against pollution and global warming.

“Chinese leaders are worried about pollution but much less about climate change, and the U.S. is worried more about climate change than about pollution in China,” said Minxin Pei of Claremont McKenna College.

Even so, U.S. efforts to push China in that direction are seen as key to reaching the broader goals of the United Nations process, because countries need to announce their nationally determined commitments to greenhouse gas reductions early next year. Both China and the United States have said they’ll meet that timeline.

“People are going to be looking to their meeting as a signal that the president, post midterms, is going to continue pushing climate change as an important part of their bilateral relationship,” said Pete Ogden, a former White House climate aide who now works at the Center for American Progress. “If you’re able to keep climate change on the highest level of bilateral discussion, then you’re really sending a signal that both countries are committed to this process.”

Those tracking the issue say they expect the U.S. to encourage China to put forward an aggressive target to match the ambition of the one the United States is developing.

While the United States and China have often been at odds over who should be responsible for the cost of tackling climate change, the two countries have improved their relationship on the issue in recent years and have delivered some results. Notably, China and the U.S. agreed last year to work toward phasing down the consumption and production of hydrofluorocarbons, potent greenhouse gases used in air conditioners and refrigerators.

At the U.N. in September, Obama seemed to be hinting at progress on the climate issue with China.

“As the two largest economies and emitters in the world, we have a special responsibility to lead. That’s what big nations have to do,” Obama declared emphatically, in an improvised addition to his speech moments after a previously unannounced meeting with a top Chinese official.

But the United States faces its own challenges in acting on climate change. The Obama administration has yet to say publicly what kind of commitment the U.S. will make in slowing greenhouse gases or how that commitment will be enforced when its timeline would extend long after Obama’s term.

And even before the president leaves office, he has to contend with Republican midterm victories that likely will translate into more legislative pressure against executive actions he has taken on the environment and further plans for reining in emissions from cars, power plants and other sources. The lawmaker expected to take over as Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, ran on a platform attacking Obama over many of his climate moves, which McConnell branded part of a “war on coal.”

“The Republicans are against moving on climate change and the Chinese understand this,” Pei said.

However, Steinberg said he believes the GOP won’t be able to block or unwind U.S. climate actions through budget riders or similar measures, in part because Obama views climate as a key part of his legacy to be cemented in his final two years in office.

Rams’ run final

By Chris Putz Staff Writer WEST SPRINGFIELD – The Southwick-Tolland-Granville Regional High School field hockey team lost just one game all season … until the finals.

No. 2 Frontier rallied to upend top-seeded Southwick in the Western Massachusetts Division 2 field hockey championship Saturday at Clarke Field.

Frontier (12-7-1) rallied around freshman forward Mckenzie Patterson, who had one goal and one assist. Patterson was relentless around the net, bobbing and weaving while maintaining her dribble throughout much of the game.

“They were really good on small passing with a reverse stick,” Southwick senior Morgan Harriman said of the opposition.

Harriman said facing Frontier was like facing Division 1 foes Westfield and Agawam during the regular season.

“We are not used to a team being able to reverse the ball so well,” she said.

Both offenses sputtered early in the opening half, save for a Frontier penalty corner in the second minute, but Southwick struck first.

Late in the 10th minute, Southwick scored the game’s first goal after the team’s first real solid push. Harriman launched a shot toward the goal from about 10 yards out. Junior Sydney Rogers got a stick on it, and the Rams led 1-0.

Southwick held on to the lead for the next 10 minutes until Frontier sophomore Ashley Korkowski tipped in a pass from Patterson with 8:40 remaining in the first half.

The goal was the result of constant pressure from Frontier.

The Red Hawks had six penalty corners in the first 22 minutes of the game. The sixth one – much crisper and more decisive than their previous ones – led to a score.

Frontier’s offensive surge continued.

Less than a minute into the second half, Patterson punched in a goal off a penalty corner – the team’s seventh – when the initial shot was fired into the striking circle. The ball was slapped around until finally finding the back of the net.

Frontier finished with 15 penalty corners to Southwick’s two (one in each half). The Red Hawks dominated time of possession in the second half.

“It’s tough,” said a saddened Southwick coach Jordan Baillargeon. “They outplayed us for most of the game. They deserved it.”

Southwick senior goalie Sarah Bodzinski kept her team in the game, making several key saves (eight).

“We have a real good goalie,” coach Baillargeon said. “It just was not in the cards for us this season.”

For Southwick (13-2-2), it was the team’s best finish in nearly a decade.

For several years, the Rams had a handful of one-and-done coaches. The coaching carousel was so bad that it was like college hoops’ players jumping to the NBA, but Baillargeon changed the attitude surrounding the program.

The Southwick coach, a former player at Westfield High, brought something the team had been lacking in previous years – stability, and a winning attitude.

The team exuded a confidence, and performed well all year.

All that was missing at the end of the night was a different piece of hardware.

“It is still going in the trophy case,” said Southwick senior Jennifer Yelin, who, along with her teammates, displayed sportsmanship not typically seen after such a heartbreaking loss.

Said Rams’ assistant coach Chelsea Collins: “The victory might not have been on the field, but (the Southwick players) are the happiest losing team I’ve ever seen. That has a lot to be said right there.”

By JON KRAWCZYNSKI AP Basketball Writer MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The clock was ticking down on Halloween night, and millions of dollars hung in the balance for Ricky Rubio and several other players who entered the NBA in 2011 and were up for extensions of their rookie contracts.

To make matters worse, they were faced with weighty decisions about their futures while regular season games were being played, leading many involved in the process to express concern about the timing of the deadline.

These are talks that could make players free agents after the season if not nailed down, and though they deserve the full attention of everyone involved, the Oct. 31 deadline means many negotiations drag into the regular season. Many hope the date will be moved up.

“It becomes very difficult,” Minnesota Timberwolves president and coach Flip Saunders said. “The league encourages you, if you got a game that night, you might want to get that thing done. It would be beneficial to have the date moved before the start of the regular season.”

Negotiations between Rubio’s representatives and the Timberwolves for a contract extension had gotten heated, and time was of the essence. If an agreement wasn’t reached by midnight, Rubio would become a restricted free agent next summer.

He was not alone.

San Antonio’s Kawhi Leonard, Chicago’s Jimmy Butler, Cleveland’s Tristan Thompson and Golden State’s Klay Thompson were all in Rubio’s situation, trying to make major life decisions while also playing regular season games.

Rubio didn’t have to play on Oct. 31, the day he signed a four-year, $55 million extension. But he did play twice earlier in the week while the talks were ongoing, and it was a stomach-churning experience.

“There was a lot of stuff going on off the court I didn’t like,” said Rubio, now sidelined indefinitely with a severely sprained ankle.

“At the end of the day, it’s business and you have to have that part.”

Chicago coach Tom Thibodeau, who watched Bulls guard Jimmy Butler deal with the issue this year, also would like to see the date moved ahead of the start of the season.

“That’s one of the great challenges of this league is you can be distracted on almost any given night with something, whether it’s the contract extensions, the back-to-backs, early See Rookie, Page 11

Niners show poise in 27-24 OT win over Saints NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Colin Kaepernick completed a 51-yard pass on fourth down to sustain a tying drive, Ahmad Brooks sacked and stripped Drew Brees in overtime, and Phil Dawson kicked a 35-yard field goal to cap San Francisco’s stirring 27-24 victory over New Orleans on Sunday.

The victory snapped a two-game skid for the Niners (5-4) and marked the first home loss for the Saints (4-5) in more than a season.

The Saints had won their past 11 at home overall, and the past 20 at home including the playoffs, when coached by Sean Payton, who was suspended in 2012.

Brooks’ decisive blow on a sack of Brees had to feel like poetic justice to the Niners linebacker. His unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on a vicious sack and strip in the Superdome a year ago allowed the Saints to pull out a late comeback victory in these teams’ previous meeting.

Brees was intercepted twice, but also passed for three scores, the last to Jimmy Graham to give the Saints a 24-21 lead with 1:52 left in regulation.

Graham also caught a desperation pass in the end zone at the end of regulation, but was called for offensive interference.

Broncos 41, Raiders 17 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Peyton Manning threw five touchdown passes in less than 17 minutes and the Broncos handed the Raiders their 15th straight loss.

Manning threw a pair of early interceptions that put Denver (7-2) in a hole against the NFL’s only winless team. That all changed with a short pass that C.J. Anderson turned into a spectacular 51-yard catch and run. The touchdowns didn’t stop until Manning’s day was done after three quarters.

Manning added two TD passes to Julius Thomas and two more to Emmanuel Sanders as the Broncos rebounded from last week’s loss at New England by beating up on the Raiders (0-9).

Manning went 31 for 44 for 340 yards. He extended his record with at least two touchdown passes in 15 straight games and his streak of 48 games with at least one TD pass is third longest, breaking a tie with Johnny Unitas.

There was almost nothing positive from the Raiders in their first blowout loss since interim coach Tony Sparano replaced the fired Dennis Allen after four games.

Cardinals 31, Rams 14 GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The Cardinals put together another dominant fourth quarter, but a the victory was dampened by an injury to quarterback Carson Palmer.

Palmer went down in the final period, then backup Drew Stanton and the Arizona defense rallied the Cardinals with three touchdowns over a span of 3 minutes, 48 seconds.

Rookie John Brown’s diving grab of Stanton’s 48-yard touchdown pass put the Cardinals (8-1) up 17-14 with 7:40 to play. The pass came on the first series after Palmer hurt his left knee while trying to avoid the rush.

Palmer was able to walk off the field but a short time later was taken to the locker room on a cart.

Patrick Peterson got his first two interceptions of the season, returning the second 30 yards for a touchdown to make it 24-14. Moments later, Austin Davis fumbled and Antonio Cromartie returned it 14 yards for a score as Arizona outscored the Rams 21-0 in the fourth quarter.

St. Louis (3-6) was shut out in the second half.

At 8-1, the Cardinals have the best record in the NFL and their best after nine games since going 11-1 as the Chicago Cardinals in 1948.

Packers 55, Bears 14 GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers threw six touchdown passes to tie the Green Bay game record and match the NFL record for a half.

Rodgers was 18 of 27 for 315 yards, throwing scoring passes of 73 and 40 yards to Jordy Nelson. The Packers led by four touchdowns early in the second quarter, and Rodgers watched most of the second half from the sideline.

The 190th meeting of the NFL’s oldest rivalry quickly turned into a blowout. The 55 points tied a Packers record at Lambeau Field.

Bears quarterback Jay Cutler had another night to forget in Green Bay. He threw two interceptions, giving him 12 in four games in Titletown.

The Bears have lost five of their last six. They’ve given up at least 51 points in two consecutive games.

Seahawks 38, Giants 17 SEATTLE (AP) — Marshawn Lynch rushed for a seasonhigh 140 yards and career-best four touchdowns.

Russell Wilson threw two interceptions, the Seahawks committed three total turnovers, and Eli Manning picked apart Seattle’s secondary for the first half. It all didn’t matter because of Lynch leading Seattle’s unstoppable run game.

The 350 total yards rushing by Seattle (6-3) were a franchise record and the most by any NFL team since Kansas City had 352 in 2012.

Lynch carried 21 times, but there was plenty of running to go around. Wilson added 107 yards on 14 carries and a 1-yard TD run with 5:19 left. Most of Wilson’s runs were designed as New York (3-6) failed to keep contain.

Jets 20, Steelers 13 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Michael Vick threw two touchdown passes and the Jets forced four turnovers while shutting down Ben Roethlisberger to end an eight-game losing streak.

Roethlisberger threw six touchdown passes in each of his last two games, and was playing in front of a MetLife Stadium crowd that appeared nearly half-filled with Terrible Towelwaving Steelers fans. But the Jets (2-8) wouldn’t allow Roethlisberger to get into much of a rhythm.

Roethlisberger finished 30 of 43 for 343 yards and connected with Martavis Bryant for an 80-yard TD with 1:16 left.

The Steelers (6-4) attempted an onside kick, but Eric Decker recovered to seal it for the Jets — who avoided setting a franchise mark for consecutive losses.

Jaiquawn Jarrett had two interceptions, a sack and a fumble recovery for the Jets, who hadn’t won since beating Oakland in Week 1.

Vick, who became the first quarterback in NFL history to run for 6,000 career yards, threw touchdown passes to T.J. Graham and Jace Amaro. Vick was 10 of 18 for 132 yards and ran eight times for 39 yards.

James is the unquestioned best player in the world, but the 21-year-old Davis is off to an impressive start, including a game-winner to beat the Spurs in San Antonio on Saturday night.

KINGS’ BIG WEEK: The biggest surprise so far has been the Sacramento Kings, who started 5-1. They have a big week ahead with games at Dallas and Memphis and then home against San Antonio on Saturday. Pack a lunch, DeMarcus.

KLAY’S BREAKOUT: Thompson’s negotiations in Golden State were highly debated, with many analytics-based opinions folks discouraging the Warriors from paying him near-max money. He got a four-year, $70 million deal and scored 41 points against the Lakers in his next game. Thompson averaged nearly 24 points per game in his first five and is showing that he’s more than just a spot-up shooter. No coincidence that the first game he missed, because of a sprained right wrist on Sunday, was the first game the Warriors lost.

FEISTY UNDERDOGS: Some teams expected to really struggle this season have been competitive early, including the Celtics, Kings, Bucks and Jazz, who beat the Cavaliers last week. The 76ers and Lakers are struggling as expected, but the league as a whole appears to be as deep as it has been in some time.

RETURN TO MEXICO: The Timberwolves head back to Mexico City for a Wednesday night game against Houston, but will they get to play this time? Last year’s game against the Spurs was canceled not long before tipoff after a generator malfunctioned and sent plumes of smoke into the arena.

STAT LINE OF THE WEEK Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers: He had 39 points, shot 14 for 37 from the field, had nine rebounds and one assist in a loss to the Phoenix Suns. Not many blame him for his shots-to-assist ratio, since it may be the

Lakers’ best chance to win.

NBA Capsules ...

SUNS 107, WARRIORS 95 PHOENIX (AP) — Isaiah Thomas scored 15 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter to lead the Phoenix Suns to a come-from-behind 107-95 victory Sunday over the Golden State Warriors, leaving the NBA with no unbeaten teams.

LAKERS 107, HORNETS 92 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kobe Bryant and Jeremy Lin each scored 21 points, and Los Angeles rallied to beat Charlotte for its first victory of the season after five straight losses.

HEAT 105, MAVERICKS 96 DALLAS (AP) — Luol Deng scored a season-high 30 points, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade added 20 apiece and Miami stayed perfect against Dallas since the 2011 NBA Finals.

RAPTORS 120, 76ERS 88 TORONTO (AP) — DeMar DeRozan scored 24 points, Terrence Ross had 17 and Toronto routed winless Philadelphia for its sixth victory in seven games.

TRAIL BLAZERS 116, NUGGETS 100 PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — LaMarcus Aldridge scored 28 points and Portland handed Denver its fifth straight loss.

Wesley Matthews added 21 for the Blazers, who have won three of their last four.

THUNDER 101, KINGS 93 OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Reggie Jackson scored 11 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter to help Oklahoma City beat Sacramento.

Jackson scored eight points in the final 2:17, going 6 of 7 from the free throw line.

JAZZ 97, PISTONS 96 AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) — Gordon Hayward scored 17 points, including four in the final 2 minutes, Derrick Favors added a double-double and Utah overcame a doubledigit, second-half deficit to beat Detroit.

NETS 104, MAGIC 96 NEW YORK (AP) — Bojan Bogdanovic scored a season-high 22 points to lift Brooklyn over Orlando.

Mason Plumlee added 12 points and 10 rebounds while Deron Williams and Kevin Garnett each had seven assists for Brooklyn (4-2).

Annie’s Mailbox

By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

I don’t want to hurt her!

Dear Annie: I was in a long-distance relationship with “Jerry” for six years. He frequently spoke about commitment, but when he still wasn’t ready to do anything after all that time, I broke things off. That was a month ago.

Although our breakup wasn’t particularly acrimonious, it has been difficult emotionally. I used to spend summers with Jerry and his now 9-year-old daughter, and took care of her while he worked. We developed a close bond.

I’ve only spoken to Jerry once since our breakup, but I’m wondering what I should do about his daughter. I still love her and would do anything for her, but I don’t want to overstep my ex-status. How do I say goodbye from a distance? I don’t want to hurt her. -- Miss Her, Not Him Dear Miss: This is not an uncommon problem when couples split up. There is still an attachment to the children, and more importantly, the children often feel the loss. Please talk to Jerry about this. Ask whether his daughter is having difficulties with your breakup and what you can do to help. Perhaps you could write her an occasional letter or email, maintaining a distant friendship so she knows you have not abandoned her.

While you should do nothing to encourage a belief that you and Dad are getting back together, make sure she understands that she will always have a place in your heart and she can call or write you any time. We trust Jerry won’t get in the way of something that is in his daughter’s best interest.

Dear Annie: It is almost Thanksgiving, and my boyfriend has asked whether I would like to go to his daughter’s home for Thanksgiving. I thought that was nice of him, as my family does not live near me.

He called his daughter to let her know I accepted the invitation. But he also said he told his daughter I am “stout.” I felt insulted. I called him the next day and made an excuse that I would be unavailable for Thanksgiving after all.

I am 20 pounds overweight, but I have no bulges. His comment hurt me so much that I haven’t gone out with him since.

Do you think he was rude to say this to his daughter? -- Not Stout Dear Not: Yes. And just as rude to repeat it to you. We can think of no reason to justify his saying this to his daughter.

Nonetheless, if this is the worst thing he has ever done in your relationship, please try to forgive him. Explain that you found his comment insulting (he probably doesn’t think so) and that you want him to stop discussing your appearance with other people.

Dear Annie: I’m writing in response to “His Wife,” whose husband’s personality changed and he was later diagnosed with depression. In my case, the one in depression was me. I had a hysterectomy and thought I was fine. That was 14 years ago.

Now, after 41 years of marriage, my husband has decided he wants a divorce and needs to move on without me. He said something happened to me and that our marriage has been over for a long time. I had no idea I had changed in any way.

After reading the letter from “His Wife,” I realized I had gone into a depression. Loss of hormones and painful intercourse did change my moods, creating anger and the loss of affection.

My husband never addressed the problems. His usual way of handling anything is to ignore it, walk away and hide. So instead of making me see how I’d changed, he found a girlfriend, vacationed with her and gave her diamond earrings.

I want to let couples know that the way to resolve things is to talk about them before it’s too late. And never rule out a medical diagnosis like depression. -- On the Way to Divorce Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.

HINTS FROM HELOISE SAFETY HINT Dear Heloise: For your readers, especially those who live alone, keep this in mind: When new service people come to my house, I go through afterward and double-check window locks and entry doors. You never know when someone might have opened a window or gone in and out a door. -- Lives Alone in Columbus, Ohio Most repair people are honest, but it’s always a good idea to check doors and windows regardless. -- Heloise NEW KITTEN Dear Heloise: Regarding your recent column printed in the San Angelo (Texas) Standard-Times about litter-box training a kitten, here is an additional hint: Keep the kitten confined to a small area for a few days to let it get accustomed to its new family and surroundings. Gradually increase its surroundings so it can start exploring new territory. Leave the added rooms open to the kitten when it begins exploring adjoining rooms.

This way, it can explore at its own pace and have its original safe place to return to. Turning a tiny kitten loose in a new house is a scary thing for it. Even a small house will appear huge to a tiny kitten. -- A Cat Lover, via email Meow! Good advice, and say “Hi” to my friends in San Angelo. I always have a lovely time when I visit for a speech.

-- Hugs, Heloise

YOUR

HOROSCOPE

Contract Bridge

By Jaqueline Bigar

DOG EAT DOUG

Brian Anderson

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Nov. 10, 2014: This year you develop a propensity for clarity. Know that others might react strongly to your questions, as they won’t be accustomed to revealing so much. Be as diplomatic as possible. If you are single, a relationship could be the result of a heated argument between you and someone else. The chemistry will be overwhelming. If you are attached, understand that your significant other might choose to distance him- or herself rather than becoming involved in a negative conversation. CANCER feels like you do, but he or she can express his or her feelings.

ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You’ll ease into a seemingly carefree Monday morning. By midday, you could notice a change in a key person’s demeanor. You know how to handle this person, but he or she also knows how to handle you. The trick will be how to avoid a power play. Tonight: Try to relax.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Your finances continue to be a main priority. How you see a personal matter could change quickly because of an unexpected choice and discussion.

This new perspective will lead to more empathy between you and someone else.

Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You might want to be more circumspect with your budget, as you never really know when there could be a problem. You have a habit of overindulging if you are not careful. Understand what is happening within your immediate circle. Tonight: Pay the bills, then decide.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Defer to others. You might want to assume control, but allowing others to try out their ideas will benefit everyone. It is likely that you’ll need to keep some distance from someone who is quite controlling. Tonight: On center stage.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You seem to be pushing past your normal limits. You know what you are capable of, and you will be able to do whatever it takes to get there. You could be amazed by what you can accomplish and by how good you feel expressing your talents. Tonight: Do a vanishing act.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Know when to turn your back on a situation that no longer appeals to you. Understand what could happen if you become too involved and others start reacting. Stay as neutral as possible, and strive for a positive outcome.

Tonight: Not everything has to be public knowledge.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Be aware of your options when dealing with others who aren’t always as easygoing as you are. Honor a change within a relationship. The other party could be quite different from you and might have different interests. Be smart. Give this person some space.

Tonight: On a roll.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Allow yourself to see someone in his or her element. As a result, you might realize how unclear you have been about this individual. He or she could demonstrate a romantic quality, which will add excitement to your interactions. Tonight: Hang out with a favorite person.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH You would be wise to encourage others to express their feelings and ideas. You will get a better idea of what you are working with. Keep an eye on a situation to which other parties seem to be adding more emotional significance. Tonight: Be aware of a potential misunderstanding.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH You might seem strange to many people. Perhaps the reason has to do with them witnessing you transform in a very distinct way. In a sense, they might feel insecure dealing with such a changeable powerhouse. Make the first move. Tonight: Clear out some paperwork.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You can be nurturing, but it is more by choice than an automatic response. You might feel frustrated by everything you need to accomplish. You could be more on edge than you realize.

Do not suppress your instincts -- deal with them. Tonight: Know when to call

Cryptoquip

Crosswords

it a night.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Your creativity seems to be emerging to an unprecedented level. Be aware that even after you come up with a practical path, others might not be in agreement. Be gracious. It is not always easy to eat crow. Tonight: Let your imagination design the night.

Calvin Johnson had seven catches for 113 yards and a touchdown in his first game back from an ankle injury, and the Lions (7-2) won their fourth straight game. Their past three victories have been by a combined six points, all with fourth-quarter comebacks.

The Dolphins (5-4) managed one touchdown — after they blocked a Detroit field goal attempt and Dion Jordan returned it deep into Lions territory. Miami’s Ryan Tannehill threw for 201 yards, but it was Stafford who made the final big play, snapping a sidearm pass to a sliding Riddick in the back left corner of the end zone.

Chiefs 17, Bills 13 ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Anthony Sherman recovered a fumble to set up Alex Smith’s 8-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.

Jamaal Charles also scored on a 39-yard run as the Chiefs (6-3) scored twice in span of 4:31 to overcome a 13-3 deficit. The Chiefs’ defense then made a stand at its 15 by forcing Kyle Orton to throw four consecutive incompletions

and turn the ball over on downs.

Kansas City improved to 6-1 since opening the season with two losses. Charles finished with 98 yards rushing, while Smith went 17 of 29 for 177 yards.

Smith scored two plays after Sherman punched the ball out of the hands of Bills punt returner Leodis McKelvin and then pounced on the loose ball at Buffalo’s 26. That wasn’t the only Bills miscue in a game Buffalo settled for two field goals on four trips inside the Chiefs 20.

Marcell Dareus had three of Buffalo’s six sacks.

Cowboys 31, Jaguars 17 LONDON (AP) — Tony Romo returned after missing last week because of a back injury and helped the Cowboys snap a twogame losing streak by throwing three touchdown passes.

Originally hurt two weeks ago, Romo started for Dallas (7-3) and completed 20 of 27 passes for 246 yards against the Jaguars (1-9) at Wembley Stadium. This was the last of three regular-season NFL games this year in the British capital.

Romo threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Jason Witten in the first quarter and then hit Dez Bryant for a pair of TDs in the second, the

The Titans (2-7) have lost seven of eight. It was 7-7 at halftime, but Tennessee had three three-and-outs in the third quarter while the Ravens took control.

Falcons 27, Buccaneers 17 TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Matt Ryan threw for 219 yards and one touchdown, helping the Falcons stop a five-game losing streak that left the Bucs with a five-game skid of their own.

The Falcons (3-6) won for the first time since embarrassing their NFC South rivals 56-14 on Sept. 18, a game in which the Bucs (1-8) lost quarterback Josh McCown to a thumb injury.

McCown returned to Tampa Bay’s starting lineup for the first time since loss, throwing for 301 yards and two TDs. His 1-yard pass to Austin Seferian-Jenkins put the Bucs ahead 17-16 early in the fourth quarter. But Ryan drove the Falcons down the field, throwing a 5-yard touchdown pass to Roddy White and a 2-point conversion to Harry Douglas.

Steven Jackson scored on a 1-yard run and Matt Bryant kicked four field goals for the Falcons.

DeMarco Murray ended up with 100 yards rushing on 19 carries and 31 yards receiving for Dallas. He had his record streak of eight straight 100-yard games to start a season snapped by the Cardinals last week.

Bryant gained all of his 158 yards in the second quarter, and did it by breaking several tackles on each touchdown catch.

Ravens 21, Titans 7 BALTIMORE (AP) — Justin Forsett ran for 112 yards and two touchdowns to back a strong performance by the Baltimore defense.

The Ravens (6-4) bottled up rookie quarterback Zach Mettenberger, who went 16 for 27 for 179 yards and an interception in his first road start. He was sacked five times and rarely got the chance to comfortably plant both feet in the pocket.

Tennessee didn’t get its initial first down of the second half until 4:37 was left in the game.

Soon after that, newcomer Danny Gorrer intercepted a pass to clinch the victory.
