Thousands gather for super day at autism walk By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Western New England Walk Now For Autism Speaks held its 12th annual event at Stanley Park Saturday and raised nearly $100,000, with more donations still coming in. More than 2,000 participants from over 100 teams joined the walk, which included a resource fair and children’s activities. The top two teams – Jessie James and the Outlaw Walkers and Ryan’s Rally for Autism, both of Westfield – raised $6,295 and $5,710, respectively. This year, for the first time, organizers said corporate sponsorships were received from Bapson Capital and Carando Ham. Home Depot also sponsored the event and brought its popular kids’ workshop to the park. The day took a super turn when superheroes showed up by the dozens. From Spiderman to Catwoman, Wolverine and even storm troopers and a princess or two, the day proved to be magical for many of the people living with Autism Spectrum Disorder who attended the fund and awareness-raising walk.

Practice lights meeting to be held tomorrow
City Council mulls aquifer zoning change
By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The public is invited to attend an informational meeting on the new practice lights being installed at the Westfield High School practice football field. The meeting will be held at 6:30 under the south goal post on the high school’s practice football field, located at the end of Powder Mill Road. If you are traveling by car, please park in the high School parking lot and walk to the field, as there is no parking on Powder Mill RON RIX Road. In case of rain, the meeting will be held in the Main Office at Westfield High School. The Westfield Public Schools is installing low level lights on the practice football field at Westfield High School. This lighting system consists of five 35-foot poles each containing two 250-watt floodlights. These lights are intended for practice only and are not suitable for games. Westfield High School, in conjunction with Westfield Youth Football and the Westfield Gas & Electric Company, have worked to design and install the lighting system for afternoon and early evening practices for the high school and youth football teams. With the fall days getting shorter, these lights will be turned on at sunset and then turned off when football practice ends at 8 p.m. “This is basically a courtesy we’re doing for the neighbors,” said Ronald Rix, director of technology and business services for Westfield Public Schools. “When I looked into what we had to do as far as public hearings or the like, the city’s law office advised holding an informational meeting.” “I know at Bullens Field we have all kinds of regulations about when games can start and all that, but this is designed to go off when youth football is done practicing in early November,” he said. Rix said that he has spoken with several residents who live near the school and put them at
By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The City Council is considering a zone change that would allow commercial development on commercial property of less than two acres within the aquifer protection district. The Council’s Natural Resource Committee initiated that review last week prior to the regular council session, but decided to seek additional information before presenting a course of action. That action could be a recommendation to approve, deny or change the ordinance amendment. Consideration of the Rob ordinance change was ini- Levesque tiated, in part, by a business owner who is seeking to develop a Dunkin Donut store on North Road. The business owner, represented by Rob Levesque of R. Levesque Associated, petition the city’s Zoning Board of Appeals last July to issue a variance to allow the commercial development. The lot, located at the intersection of North and Old County roads (directly across from East Mountain Road), was the location of the former 49er Lounge which burnt down decades ago. The 1.6 acre parcel, which is zoned for Business A (BA) uses, was never redeveloped. Levesque, speaking at the Natural Resource Committee meeting Thursday, said the current zoning requires lot of at least two acres. Levesque said that only five parcels of BA property throughout the city which could be developed if the zoning amendment is approved. “The soil conditions are suitable for septic disposal,” Levesque said. “It meets all the requirements to Title 5, stormwater and nitrogen loading.” “This (zoning) amendment allows an avenue for this property and a few others to be developed,” Levesque said. Ward 6 Councilor Christopher Crean said the zoning amendment will allow development “of blighted property in my ward. It would be

WSU Foundation pays honor through scholarships By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Westfield State University’s Horace Mann Center played host to the WSU Foundation’s annual Meeting of the Corporation Thursday evening. At the meeting, the foundation honored two associates of the university who recently passed away. The families of Joseph Kareta, an alumnus from the Class of 2010 who was killed by a drunk driver in the summer of 2010 and former University Trustee Deanna L. Clark, who passed away earlier this year, spoke to a packed garden level of the Horace Mann Center, the home of the criminal justice department where Kareta earned his bachelor’s degree and the board room where Clark attended trustee meetings. Michael R. Knapik, executive director of university advancement at Westfield State, spoke to Joe’s parents, Frederick and Kathryn, after their son’s passing. “They came to the foundation and asked ‘can we do something in Joe’s memory?’” said Knapik. “Is there something we can do out of love, remembering what kind of student he was and what a special son he was and how much he touched others?” Knapik said that the Kareta family began raising funds in the summer of 2011 and, in partnership with the Citizen Scholarship Foundation and the Westfield State University Foundation, the Joe Kareta Memorial Scholarship passed the $100,000 mark.
Originally intended to serve as a scholarship for criminal justice students, the scholarship has now helped 17 students with their education at Westfield State. “We’re here to thank you for all you’ve done to honor your son and all that we can do to help you honor your son,” Knapik said. “You’ll touch the lives of future students at this university for generations to come.” Fred and Kathryn Kareta were awarded the 2014 Stewardship Award from the foundation and spoke of their son. “Joe was my son and a good son he was,” said Fred Kareta. “The tragic results of drunk driving can never be felt by anyone until it happens to them. We started this scholarship and with the help of Mike (Knapik), Lisa (McMahon, assistant director of development) and Westfield State, we’re going to carry on.” “We had a goal of $100,000 but now, there is no goal – the sky is the limit,” he said. “And as long as we can partner with Westfield State, we’re going to on.” New Foundation Chair Robin Jensen took the microphone next to introduce the family of Deanna Clark, the longtime Westfield State Trustee who touched the lives of so many and who Jensen credits with introducing her to Westfield State after they’d served together on the board of the Amelia Park Children’s Museum. “My Christmas gift from Dee that year was becoming a member of this board – my first See Scholarships, Page 3

City building and health inspectors find faults with property By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A Montgomery Road family has been ordered to clean up their property after a visit by city inspectors Friday. Police Officer Harry Sienkiewicz, the department’s code enforcement officer, reported late Friday morning that city building and health inspectors, Anthony Paroline and Stephen Cipriani, requested his assistance at 756 Montgomery Road. Sienkiewicz said that the inspection had begun previously when the health department was advised of a dog complaint on the property but inspectors had been loath to enter the property
alone. He said that the inspectors found that significant renovations to the residence on the property were underway although no building permit had been issued, as required. Siekniewicz said that he does not know what action the building inspector may have taken but he found three unregistered cars “more like pickup trucks, really” and the owners were put on noticed that they had 30 days to register or remove the vehicles. He said that the property is on the outskirts of the city “almost near the Montgomery line” in a farming area. He said that farm vehicles were also present “but they’re exempt” from
motor vehicle registration requirements. He said that failure to comply would result in a $100 per day fine, per vehicle. Kerri Francis, the city’s animal control officer also responded and she reports that she found two chickens running loose on the property, as well as an unlicensed and unvaccinated dog. She also found that two horses were housed in a shed on the property which was filled with items which made it unsafe for equine habitation, although she stated that they appeared to be healthy. Francis advised the landowners that the various deficiencies must be resolved within a month.

Alligator causes scare, then a laugh, in Minnesota ROCKVILLE, Minn. (AP) — A 2-footlong alligator caused a scare — and then a laugh — in Stearns County this week. A man called the sheriff’s office Thursday at noon to report an exotic animal. A deputy came out and found the alligator basking on the grass next to a creek and swampy area. The deputy approached cautiously but the alligator didn’t move or retreat. The deputy poked it with his baton — and discovered it was just a plastic toy. The sheriff’s office jokes in a statement that “it was safely removed.”

Autism Walk
Continued from Page 1
The Westfield News, 22 News and Mix 93.1 all joined the walk as media sponsors, and 22 News meteorologist Adam Strzempko served as master of ceremonies. State Rep. John Velis helped Boy Scout Troop 109 lead the crowd in the Pledge of Allegience. MGM Springfield sponsored the Grand Club this year, which is a VIP tent for those individuals who raise $1,000 or more. Inside the tent, each Grand Club member received gifts from Hannoush Jewelers, Six Flags New England, Becca and Kat Photography, Hood and Walgreens, and were treated to a massage from Yola’s Caring Touch Massage, as well as treats donated by Frosted Owl Cupcakes, Chic-Fil-A, and Edible Arrangements. A special tent for newly diagnosed families offered information for those new to autism, and a transition area offered information for people on the spectrum moving into adulthood. For some people, the walk was a place to gather information about autism and the services provided in the area. “I think it’s very important because I don’t think a lot of people realize how much autism effects people in the community. A lot of people say autism – what’s that?” said Chrissey Gillis of Westfield. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and autism are both general terms for a group of complex disorders of brain development. These disorders are characterized, in varying degrees, by difficulties in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication and repetitive behaviors. With the May 2013 publication of the DSM-5 diagnostic manual, all autism disorders were merged into one umbrella diagnosis of ASD. Previously, they were recognized as distinct subtypes, including autistic disorder, childhood disintegrative disorder, pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS) and Asperger syndrome. ASD can be associated with intellectual disability, difficulties in motor coordination and attention and physical health issues such as sleep and gastrointestinal disturbances. Some persons with ASD excel in visual skills, music, math and art. The Centers for Disease Control released data earlier this year that one in 68 people under age 21 have some form of autism.

cleaned up if it can be developed.” Natural Resource Chairwoman Mary O’Connell said her committee has been waiting for the state Department of Environmental Protection to issue revised maps of the aquifer protection and recharge zone.
“We’ve been waiting for the new aquifer map to be redrawn,” O’Connell said. “The state is involved, so it could be a month or five years before we get it. I’s also like the BAPAC (Barnes Aquifer Protection Advisory Committee) and the PVPC (Pioneer Valley Planning Commission) to weigh in on this issue. There are other
Councilor Figy: Greetings from Ward 2 Summer has ended and fall is fast approaching. The kids are back in school and the fall sports schedule is well underway. Take some time and take in a game. We have three high schools with fall athletic programs and they all deserve the community’s support. Good luck to them all and may all of the athletes remain healthy. The rail trail is scheduling a grand opening for the first week in October. If you have not seen the latest edition, you owe it to yourself to check it out. It is beautiful. The landscaping is being completed and the fences are in. The kids are using it almost nonstop. Sergeant Hall is using it to commute to and from work. The rail trail is now a welcome addition to the neighborhood. A $2.5 million grant is in process and we are waiting for the final approval to come through. When it does the next section will be constructed bringing the trail to Main Street by

meeting was December of ’08,” said Jensen, who added that she was one of the youngest women on the board at that time. “And if you were to have told me back then one day I’d be chair of this board… no way,” she said. “But Dee said ‘one day you’ll be chair of this board.’ So from her lips to tonight, Dee is always right.” Jensen then announced to the assembly that the university’s 175th Anniversary Scholarship would be named after Clark and presented her husband Don, children Heather and Morgan, and niece Carla Ottaviano with the honor. “She was all about helping and putting students first,” said Jensen. “She never really wanted any recognition or praise, but I hope the scholarship will continue to grow and I hope the sky’s the limit for this one, too.” Heather Clark then offered the crowd a brief thanks on behalf of her family. “My mother didn’t like to speak in public, but she really did love Westfield State and its students. She talked about it all the time – what a wonderful place it was, the education one could get here,” said Clark before speaking of her mother’s devotion to WSU. “She didn’t do it for the recognition – she did it because she loved Westfield and Westfield State,” she said. “I think she’d be surprised at all the attention that’s being given to her but I think she’d be very humbled and honored by it, as are we.” After the event, Jensen reiterated the “family first” focus of the event. “Here at Westfield State University, we’re a family and we put our students first,” she said. “We’re looking forward to this next year. It’s a year of rebuilding, but we’re reinvigorated and I think everyone is excited looking into this next year.” “It was really a night for Joey and Dee. It was all about them,” she said. “Everything we talked about led back to them and I really believe it’s going to make it the best year ever.”
Construction Department are continuing the work that last year’s students began. You can watch their progress on Channel 22 when the weather shows the Westfield Sky Cam. Remember that construction will occur only every other week as the students are receiving academic instruction during the other week. The Tiger’s Pride Restaurant at the Voke will reopen the first week in October. Lunch will be served for a nominal fee on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 10:45 – 12:15. On a sad note, the loss of the BID is beginning to be seen. The beautiful flowers are dying from a lack of care. Litter is beginning to show up, as well. It is unrealistic to expect the DPW to provide all of the services that the BID provided with no increase in staffing or funding. It is time for the property owners to take care of their property. By doing this they will help to
improve the appearance of the downtown as a whole. A sub-committee of the School Committee will be formed Monday night at a special meeting of the School Committee. The sub-committee will be charged with researching options for the model school. The sub-committee will then make recommendations to the whole as to how best to proceed. This special meeting will be very brief in nature and very focused in its purpose. Upcoming Event: Ghost Tours of the Cemetery on Mechanic Street will be on Sept. 26 and 27, and October 3 and 4. This event is sponsored by the Westfield Historical Society. All funds will be used in the restoration efforts being conducted by the Society.

ease about the new lights. “When they saw the things going in, they were afraid that stadium lights were going in and we were putting the field there to have Friday night games,” he said. “I figured we’ll meet under the goalposts, turn them on if they’re ready tomorrow and answer any questions (residents) may have. It’s better to be proactive than reactive.” Westfield High School Principal Jonathan Carter said that the lights will improve the practice facilities for all of the high school’s fall and spring sports teams, in addition to the city’s youth football program. “They practice after us and go well into the evening on many occasions,” said Carter of the youth team. “Traditionally, the youth team has purchased temporary portable lights and used those in past seasons.” Carter said that he has not personally heard any complaints from residents about the lights and that they will improve the safety of all athletes. He also said that the cost of the lights will be distributed between Westfield Public Schools and Westfield Youth Football, with the Westfield Gas & Electric doing installation work free of charge.

Greens: Climate march shatters record By Andrew Restuccia Politico.com NEW YORK — Al Gore, Leonardo DiCaprio and U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon joined a larger-than-expected throng of activists, scientists, students and elected officials who took to New York City’s streets Sunday for a massive march meant to sound the alarm about climate change. Organizers initially estimated that the march had drawn 310,000 people, then raised that estimate to nearly 400,000 — far exceeding their projections of 100,000 attendees and making the procession through midtown Manhattan by far the largest climate-related protest in history. New York police did not offer their own crowd count. Participants waved flags, pounded on drums and carried signs that said “No More Climate Change” and “Climate Action Now,” while police blocked traffic along Central Park West from 59th Street to 86th Street. The scene turned a bit chaotic when Gore, Moon, scientist Jane Goodall and New York Mayor Bill de Blasio joined the march around 12:45 p.m., with police, security officers and arms-linked volunteers holding back the crowd while photographers clicked away. After a moment of silence, the crowd erupted in cheers. Others taking part in Sunday’s protest included Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) as well as former Ohio Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich. Participants said they were trying to send a message to elected officials that tackling climate change, an issue that has often taken a back seat in Washington, should be a top priority. “It shows we have power,” said Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune. “It’s a diverse coalition. It’s broad and it’s growing in strength and it’s growing in diversity. And it’s increasingly impatient at the rate of progress.” But it wasn’t making an immediate splash on national TV — “Meet the Press” didn’t mention the march, while CNN, Fox and MSNBC were focusing on issues like the NFL, the fight against ISIL, Friday’s White House intruder and the November elections. The march comes just two days before more than 120 world leaders and other high-ranking officials, including President Barack Obama, are slated to descend on New York City for a United Nations climate change summit. Countries are working toward reaching an international climate change accord at the end of 2015 that would go into effect in 2020. De Blasio said he hoped this week’s events would mark a “turning point moment” for the climate cause, but conceded that that’s far from certain. “Summits sometimes spark great change — rallies, protests sometimes spark great change. Sometimes they don’t,” de Blasio said. He added, “My sense is that the energy you’re seeing on the streets, the numbers that have amassed here and in other cities around the world suggest something bigger is going on.” The march was organized by more than 1,500 groups and spearheaded by 350.org, the same upstart climate activist group that has turned the proposed Keystone XL pipeline into a political quagmire for President Barack Obama. Activists mounted a massive effort to spread the word and attract the public, distributed more than 1 million flyers around New York City and chartered nearly 500 buses to bring people from around the country. Organizers said they held more than 2,000 climate-focused events in 162 countries, and Twitter’s feeds on Sunday included photos from marches in cities like London, Berlin, Rome, Rio de Janeiro and Melbourne, Australia. The Associated Press said 40,000 people attended the London protest, including musician Peter Gabriel and actress Emma Thompson. But the New York City march was the centerpiece. Mary Francis, carrying a sign proclaiming herself an “angry granny,” said she came to the march from Oklahoma. “This is a problem that my generation has created,” said Francis, 72. “My parents didn’t know about this problem. But my generation knows and we have to do what we can to fix what we can.” New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer called the protest “a message to our dysfunctional federal government that we’re not going to be pushed out of our planet.” While several polls have painted climate change as a marginal priority for most voters, billionaire environmentalist Tom Steyer predicted Sunday that the mass demonstration will show that it’s “a first-tier political issue, that the ability to sweep this under the rug is over.” And Obama is one person surely paying attention, 350.org co-founder Bill McKibben said before the march kicked off. “You don’t get to be president of the United States by ignoring huge outpourings of public sentiment,” McKibben said.
World in turmoil marks Obama’s return to U.N. By Josh Gerstein Politico.com President Barack Obama is back at the United Nations this week, but the more peaceful world he saw emerging just a year ago is looking like a distant, even naive, dream. “We’ve also worked to end a decade of war … shifting away from a perpetual war footing,” Obama told the U.N. delegates and fellow heads of state last September. “The world is more stable than it was five years ago.” Just in the past few months, the rise of the brutal Islamic State terrorist group has lured the U.S. back into military action in the Mideast, Russia has annexed part of Ukraine and a deadly virus has rampaged across Africa, killing thousands and threatening to bring down governments there. In each crisis, Obama has been faulted for dithering while the situation grew worse and turning aside opportunities to act in the hope of assembling an international response that has so far proved inadequate. “He’s in a much worse position, without a doubt, than a year ago. … You’ve got a world on fire,” said former Mideast peace negotiator Aaron David Miller. “The presidency is all about managing disorder and unruliness and managing perceptions so that the world’s not seen as being in chaos. He’s not been able to convey a strategy for dealing for all this, so I think it’s much grimmer for him a year later.” Indeed, much of the past week was a reminder of foreign policy failures. Last year, Obama pushed U.S. efforts to solve the Arab-Israeli conflict only to see peace talks fall apart and relations escalate into full-scale war as Israel responded to rocket attacks from Gaza with incursions by Israeli ground forces and artillery shelling. Talks with Iran over its nuclear program are continuing in New York this week, but they may be headed for a kind of stalemate. The Obama administration is reportedly exploring stopgap measures that might satisfy it but seem unlikely to be palatable to Israel or its supporters on Capitol Hill. And Tuesday, Obama is scheduled to speak at a U.N. session on climate change, an area in which his administration stumbled diplomatically early in his presidency and has since struggled to craft meaningful policies that can pass muster with Congress. On Wednesday, the president delivers his main speech to the General Assembly before leading the Security Council meeting on the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. He’ll also host an event on open government before he wraps up his visit on Thursday with a high-level meeting on the Ebola epidemic. According to White House officials, the overarching theme for Obama’s visit to the U.N. this year is building an international campaign to defeat ISIL. Administration officials have tried to keep the focus beyond the question of which countries will join the U.S. in military action against the group, working to promote a multifaceted effort to pressure ISIL financially, deny it new fighters and even counter the group’s rich stream of online propaganda. “We’ll lead a broad coalition of nations who have a stake in this fight. This isn’t America vs. ISIL. This is the people of that region vs. ISIL. It’s the world vs. ISIL,” Obama insisted in his weekly address Saturday. While ISIL’s brutal tactics and unexpected battlefield successes have produced a sharply negative reaction from many nations, including Sunni Arab states that previously seemed to be giving tacit support to the group, Obama still faces a dizzying array of challenges in assembling a coalition that can’t be dismissed as window dressing. So far, only France has publicly agreed to join in airstrikes against the group — and only in Iraq, not in Syria, where Obama has talked of plans to go on offense against ISIL. U.S. officials have said that some Arab states have also offered to carry out strikes, but none have yet done so publicly. Obama has spoken repeatedly of empowering friendly governments across the globe to deal with emergencies in their regions, but the ISIL crisis and even the Ebola epidemic in Africa have demonstrated that their ability to tackle such problems without assistance from the U.S. is a distant hope. “The problem you run into is everyone is running around look-

ing for a partner to actually do the work,” said Richard Fontaine, a former Bush White House official now with the Center for New American Security. “At the end of the day, there are some problems that only the U.S. has the will and the capacity to do something that will make a difference. “It gets back to the age-old question: If not us, who?” Fontaine said. “And the answer tends to be: nobody.” The best Obama can expect from the U.N. in the ISIL fight would seem to be a limited endorsement of part of the U.S. policy toward fighting the group. Wednesday’s Security Council meeting is aimed at passing a resolution requiring countries to stem the flow of foreign fighters to extremist groups like ISIL and the Al-Nusra Front. However, Russia — which holds veto power in the council — is likely to insist that the resolution not include any language that could be seen as blessing military action by the U.S. or others in Syria without the consent of embattled President Bashar Assad. That’s likely to leave significant uncertainty about the justification under international law for military intervention against ISIL in Syria. (The issue in Iraq is less fraught because the government in Baghdad has requested U.S. military help.) While many in Congress have questioned whether Obama has authority under U.S. law to mount a protracted military campaign against ISIL, many experts say that the international law case is shakier than the domestic one, particularly because Obama and other U.S. officials regularly declare that the group does not pose an immediate threat to the American homeland. “At the end of the day, this is essentially preventive war,” Fontaine said. “It’s a classic preventive military action, which makes it more difficult to articulate the case internationally than if you were attacked and are responding.” Administration officials have claimed that the Authorization for Use of Military Force that Congress passed in 2001 covers strikes against ISIL because it was once an offshoot of Al Qaeda, even though it has now split from that group. However, U.S. officials have been considerably more vague about how to square an expanded anti-ISIL campaign with international law. Secretary of State John Kerry suggested at a Senate hearing last week that the U.S. could justify action in Syria on the grounds that forces are in “hot pursuit” of ISIL fighters conducting attacks in Iraq. And National Security Adviser Susan Rice told reporters Friday that a 13-year-old United Nations resolution passed after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks bolsters the case for aggressive action against ISIL. But some experts scoff at those justifications. “The law of hot pursuit is highly restrictive and could not justify significant or comprehensive airstrikes in Syria of the type the administration is likely envisioning,” New York University law professor Ryan Goodman said. “The fact that Secretary Kerry would invoke such a peculiar and narrow legal doctrine suggests the administration might be grasping at straws. They need to do a lot better than that.” There’s little anyone can do to punish the U.S. for ignoring international law, but Obama could be criticized for hypocrisy because he has been quick to claim the international law high ground when it is to his advantage. “We must demonstrate that international law is not an empty promise,” he declared at a U.N. session in 2009. When Russia intervened in Ukraine earlier this year, Obama denounced the move as a violation of international law — making the claim five times in just a single statement to reporters last March. Obama’s week will also highlight some of the strange bedfellows the U.S. has in the campaign against ISIL, including Iran. Last year, Obama and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani did an awkward dance that resulted in a historic phone call as the Iranian leader was headed for the airport. White House officials say no meeting with Rouhani is planned, but there will be several opportunities for the two men to encounter each other during the annual U.N. confab. In what could be a precursor to such an interaction, Secretary of State John Kerry led a U.N. Security Council meeting last week at which Iran presented its ideas on fighting ISIL. “I don’t think that anybody disagrees with me that extremism is much stronger and more spread out in the Middle East, today, than it was in 2001,” Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said at Friday’s session. “The international coalition against ISIL said to be in the offing has yet to decide to pursue a serious strategy, in our view, to defeat extremism.” “Thank you, Dr. Araghchi, for that statement,” Secretary of State John Kerry replied with a friendly nod. On the sidelines of the annual U.N. meetings, international negotiators from the so-called P5+1 countries are continuing talks with Iran about its nuclear program. Obama faces a highstakes challenge to come up with a deal that will satisfy Iran, Israel and the U.S. Congress, while avoiding the embarrassing and potentially dangerous result of Iran emerging in a few years with a nuclear weapon crafted through loopholes and blind spots in any pact. “Under these circumstances, [Obama] cannot afford a bad deal or an impasse. That’s still a work in progress, but if you’re betting on a deal with the mullahs to be the redeeming aspect of your foreign policy, it’s a comment on how extraordinarily grim the situation is,” said Miller, author of the forthcoming “The End of Greatness: Why America Can’t Have (and Doesn’t Want) Another Great President.” “There are few opportunities that remain for him to demonstrate decisive leadership, let alone heroic leadership.”

World stock markets slip on China growth jitters By ELAINE KURTENBACH AP Business Writer TOKYO (AP) — Stock markets fell Monday ahead of a preliminary manufacturing survey from China that might show renewed weakness in the world’s second-largest economy. KEEPING SCORE: Britain’s FTSE 100 fell 0.3 percent to 6,799.98 after shares in major retailer Tesco plunged on the news it had overestimated its half-year expected profit by 250 million pounds (about $409 million). France’s CAC 40 dropped 0.4 percent to 4,442.70 and Germany’s DAX slipped 0.4 percent to 9,764.44. U.S stocks were set to start the week lower, with Dow futures down 0.3 percent to 17,156. S&P 500 futures lost 0.5 percent to 1,993.30. THE QUOTE: “All eyes will be on China’s HSBC flash PMI after the recent spate of soft data, especially industrial production and property prices last week,” Mizuho Bank said in a commentary. HSBC’s gauge of China manufacturing is due Tuesday. CURRENCIES: The yen has been trading at six-year lows as the dollar has surged in anticipation the U.S. Federal Reserve will raise interest rates next year while the Bank of Japan keeps its easy monetary policy. However on Monday the dollar was slightly lower, at 108.90 yen, after closing Friday at 109.05 yen. The euro rose to $1.2855 from $1.2831. G-20 PLEDGE: A pledge of further stimulus from finance chiefs of the Group of 20 industrial nations over the
weekend appeared to fall flat amid deepening concern over faltering recoveries in major economies apart from the U.S. Finance chiefs from the G-20, representing about 85 percent of the global economy, said Sunday they are close to reaching a goal set in February of boosting world GDP by more than $2 trillion over the next five years, and will focus on infrastructure investment to help reach the target. But they also warned that despite improving economic conditions in some key economies, growth remains uneven and below the pace necessary to generate critically needed jobs. ASIA’S DAY: Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 fell 0.7 percent to 16,205.90 as the yen regained some strength against the U.S. dollar. South Korea’s Kospi fell 0.7 percent to 2,039.27 and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng dropped 1.4 percent to 23,955.67.

BOSTON (AP) — Mohegan Sun faces financial peril after losing out to Wynn Resorts in its bid to open a casino in the Boston-area, a Moody’s Investor Service analysis warns. In a note to investors Wednesday, analyst Keith Foley said the loss “heightens our concerns” about the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority’s ability to refinance its debt at an interest rate and terms equal to or better than what it’s now paying. He said the Connecticut-based casino company is highly leveraged and could face significant debt repayment just as Wynn’s Massachusetts casino opens sometime in 2017. Foley said Mohegan Sun’s long-term financial prospects “would have improved materially” had its proposed $1.1 billion casino at the Suffolk Downs horse racing track, which straddles East Boston and Revere, been chosen for the lone Boston-area casino license. Massachusetts gambling regulators instead went with Wynn’s $1.6 billion plan to redevelop the industrial waterfront in Everett. “At a minimum, we believe this would provide a substantial hedge against potential losses at its Connecticut casino,” which generates the bulk of the company’s revenue but is suffering as competition expands in the region, he wrote. Foley said there’s now greater pressure on Mohegan Sun to succeed in other efforts to diversify its revenue base, such as pursuing a casino license in Philadelphia. Elsewhere, Foley said he expects the gambling market in Boston to perform significantly better than most other U.S. markets, which would benefit Wynn. He said Boston residents have a “high propensity” to gamble, citing the number of Massachusetts residents who visit Connecticut’s Indian casinos. Boston also has the business, entertainment and transportation infrastructure to draw travelers from outside the region and internationally, Foley said. In a related development, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, which awarded Wynn a casino license earlier this week, says it will look for ways to keep thoroughbred horse racing in the state now that Suffolk Downs is expected to close, following Mohegan Sun’s loss. The commission, which will take up the issue on Sept. 25, said it will consider every option to preserve the industry. It also plans to help Suffolk Downs workers find other employment and workforce training. Suffolk Downs’ Chief Operating Officer Chip Tuttle, in a statement, dismissed the promises as “empty posturing.” New England’s lone thoroughbred horse racing track has said the live racing season that ends Sept. 29 will be its last. It will offer simulcast betting until at least November. “This is one of those cases where the Gaming Commission’s actions speak louder than their words,” Tuttle said. “The Commission’s actions Tuesday made clear how little value they place on these jobs and these people.”
Junior Achievement sends business professionals back to school Westfield, MA – Across the community, kids of all ages are heading back to school. At the same time, many businesspeople are preparing to do the same—as Junior Achievement volunteers. Each year, business professionals, parents, retirees and college students in Westfield help students in Junior Achievement programs develop the skills they need to succeed in a competitive economy. Using their personal experiences in combination with JA’s innovative, age-appropriate curricula, these volunteers teach young people about entrepreneurship, work readiness and financial literacy. For example, ninth-grade students at Westfield Vo-Tech will learn about careers and how to succeed in a business environment in Junior Achievement’s Career Success® program, and ninth-grade students at Westfield High School will learn practical information about personal finance and the importance of identifying education and career goals through Junior Achievement’s JA Economics for Success®. “Volunteers are the heart of Junior Achievement, helping the organization empower young people to own their economic success. They inspire our children to discover their potential and find their niches in the 21st-century global marketplace,” said Jennifer Connolly, president of JA of Western Massachusetts. “Without volunteers’ dedication and excellence, JA would not be able to provide the positive impact it has on the local community.” Junior Achievement is currently seeking volunteers for this year’s programs at Westfield Vo-Tech and Westfield High School. JA orients volunteers on how to utilize the userfriendly materials and work with students. Those interested in volunteering for JA of Western Massachusetts should contact JA staff by phone at 413-747-7670 or visit the website at www.jawm.org.

Mass. tax credits benefiting movies, TV projects BOSTON (AP) — A film starring Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin was one of the biggest beneficiaries of a tax credit program designed to lure movies and television shows to Massachusetts. A report from the state revenue department says “Labor Day” was awarded a $5.3 million tax credit last year. The movie was shot in several loca-
tions across the state, including the western Massachusetts community of Shelburne Falls. Other productions which received tax credits included commercials for Google and Cheetos and the television shows “Extreme Houseboats”” and “I Found the Gown.” The tax credits also benefit some
WGBH public television productions including several long-running shows like “Nova,” ‘’Frontline,” ‘’Masterpiece,” ‘’Antiques Roadshow” and “American Experience.” Critics say the state is losing money through the tax credits while backers say they’re helping build a local film industry.

German Merck to buy St. Louis-based Sigma Aldrich FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — German drug company Merck says it has agreed to buy St. Louis-based chemical firm Sigma-Aldrich Corp. for $17 billion. Darmstadt-based Merck KGaA said Monday it is paying $140 per share in cash for all of Sigma-Aldrich’s shares — a premium of 37 percent over Friday’s closing price of $102.37. Sigma-Aldrich has over 9,000 employees worldwide and supplies chemicals and laboratory equipment to government and commercial research facilities. It said its board of directors has unanimously approved the deal, which is expected to close next year, subject to regulators’ approval.
Auxilium Pharma rejects Endo’s takeover offer CHESTERBROOK, Pa. (AP) — Auxilium Pharmaceuticals Inc.’s board has rejected an approximately $1.4 billion unsolicited takeover offer from Ireland’s Endo International PLC. Auxilium, based in Chesterbrook, Pennsylvania, had adopted a one-year “poison pill” shareholder rights plan last week. The drugmaker continues to support its plan to combine with Canadian eye drugmaker QLT Inc. in an all-stock deal. Auxilium said Monday that the offer from Dublin-based Endo is not a superior proposal and significantly undervalues its business. Auxilium said it still has the right to hold talks with Endo and other third parties under terms of its merger agreement with QLT. QLT said Monday that it still supports the merger with Auxilium. Endo did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Sigma-Aldrich CEO Rakesh Sachdev said the deal was a “very positive outcome” for shareholders due to the price premium and for employees, “who will benefit from enhanced opportunities as part of a larger, more global organization.” Merck said it would expand the reach of its EMD Millipore chemical and equipment division, based in Billerica, Massachusetts. “In one of the world’s key industries two companies that fit perfectly together have found each other to present a much broader product offering to our global customers” in research facilities and drug manufacturing, said Merck CEO Karl-Ludwig Kley.

Tesco suspends execs over inflated profit report By DANICA KIRKA Associated Press LONDON (AP) — Tesco, Britain’s largest retailer by revenue, has suspended four executives and launched an accounting investigation after admitting that its half-year profit was overstated by 250 million pounds ($407 million). The accounting irregularity led the company to issue on Monday its third profit warning this year. The announcements shocked investors, with shares falling 8.8 percent to 209.40 pence in early trading Monday. The investigation, prompted by information from a whistleblower, comes less than a month after the new chief executive, Dave Lewis, took charge. The company has faced intense competition as retailers cut prices to attract customers hit by tough economic times. “We have uncovered a serious issue and have responded accordingly,” Lewis said in a statement. Lewis took over from Philip Clarke after the company issued a profit warning at the end of August. At the time, Tesco said it expected to report “trading profit” of about 1.1 billion pounds for the six months ended Aug. 23. The retailer now plans to release its earnings for the period on Oct. 23, three weeks later than previously scheduled. Tesco said the overstatement resulted from reporting commercial income too early and delays in booking some costs. The company asked Deloitte to begin an independent review, along with the group’s external legal advisers. Shore Capital analyst Clive Black said the development is flabbergasting. “Such an announcement is not the stuff of a well operated FTSE-100 organization.”

Westfield United holds ground WESTFIELD – The Westfield United Soccer U10 Division 1 Girls have reached the mid-point of the season, following a 3-game, 3-day stretch. Westfield survived the tough stretch, going 1-1-1. Team United played Wilbraham in back to back games Sept. 13-14, losing the first game and tying the second. Westfield started off slow in the first half of the first game. Wilbraham scored first, setting the tone. Emma Pedro tied it up five minutes later. Wilbraham quickly came back, scoring two more goals in the first half. Westfield fought back and began playing at full speed in the second part of the second half. Westfield Soccer v Wilbraham1Ava Salvador scored a beautiful one-timer, landing a shot in the upper corner of the goal. Wilbraham displayed its “A” game from the first whistle to the
last, handing the Whip City its first loss, 4-2. The second game was a different story. Westfield showed up ready and fired up to play what turned out to be a fantastic, edge-of-your-seat thriller. Wilbraham scored first, mid-way through the first half despite Westfield dominating the first half, generating several scoring chances. In the second half, Emma Goudreau took a hard foul in the box, drawing a penalty. Annika Jensen placed the PK in the back of the net. westfield soccer v wilbraham4Westfield clearly dominated the entire game. The defense shined brightly, shutting down the opposition in the second half. Sara Moriarty, Abby Dorunda, Alex Cieplinski and Annika Jensen completely controlled the game from their defensive positions, shutting down Wilbraham’s
potent offense. United finished with a well-deserved 1-1 tie. On Monday, United defeated East Longmeadow, 2-1. East Longmeadow scored first on a free kick in the first half – the only shot allowed on goal. The game was played in the middle of the field with neither team penetrating the defense throughout. Sara Moriarty, Abby Dorunda, Annika Jensen and Alex Cieplinski were fantastic on defense. After some lineup maneuvers, Westfield appeared unstoppable late. United scored two goals in the final two minutes of the game. “What an outstanding finish,” Westfield team manager Mike Salvador said. “The United Girls displayed a never-quit attitude and eventually prevailed with a victory.” – Courtesy of Westfield United Soccer
Wide Right! Owls Hold Off Corsairs 14-13 WESTFIELD – In a game that won’t go down as one of the prettiest ever played, Westfield State held off UMass Dartmouth for a 14-13 win at Cressy Field on Saturday. Point-after-touchdown tries proved to be the story of the game, as the Owls spoiled the Corsairs homecoming. What proved to be the winning points were scored by Westfield senior linebacker Troy Cutter (Lunenberg/Lunenberg, Mass.) on a “swinging gate” try for two points after the Owls second touchdown. Cutter plowed into the endzone to give Westfield a 14-0 lead with 2:40 left in the second quarter, the last points the Owls would score. Michael Mercadante (Minnechaug/Wilbraham, Mass.) provided the touchdown, his fifth of the season, on a nineyard run. The two-point try was hastened by the fact that the Owls kick attempt was blocked in the

Owls in the 272-runner field. Westfield placed ninth as a team, behind East Stroudsburg, New Paltz (NY) State, Holy Cross, Conn College, Brandeis, Salve Regina, Trinity and Southern Maine. Thirty-eight women’s teams competed in the race, including three Division II schools and Division I Holy Cross. In the men’s race, Westfield finished sixth as a team in the 34-team race. Junior Tim Shea (West Springfield HS/West Springfield, Mass.) led Owls finishers, crossing the line in 25:19 over the fivemile course.

Cardin, Shea lead Owl Harriers to strong finish DARTMOUTH, Mass. – Freshman Jessie Cardin (Sutton/Sutton, Mass.) ran a strong sixth place to lead the Westfield State women’s cross country team to a ninth-place finish at the 38-team UMassDartmouth Invitational on Saturday. Cardin traversed the five-kilometer course in 18:12, and was the fourth Division III runner across the line as two of the top three finish spots were captured by runners from NCAA Division II member East Stroudsburg (PA) State. Sophomore Ashley Monahan (Agawam/ Springfield, Mass.) finished 51st, Lindsay Stoldt (East Hampton/East Hampton, Conn.) 52nd’ and Adrianne Stelmack (Stoneham/Stoneham, Mass.) 56th for the
first quarter after senior QB Steve Guercio (Gardner/Gardner, Mass.) found Bobby Boire (Millbury/Millbury, Mass.) over the middle for an 11-yard scoring strike which put the Owls up 6-0 with 8:23 left in the third quarter. Westfield’s defense did its job in keeping the Owls chances alive in the low-scoring affair, keeping the Corsairs off the scoreboard until the 6:16 mark in the fourth quarter, when Cory Burnham found Jason Ferri for a 39-yard touchdown completion to trim the Owls lead to 14-7. After Westfield went three-and-out on the next series, UMass Dartmouth took over on their own 48-yard line with 3:56 left to play. The Corsairs moved the ball 52 yards in 12 plays, scoring on a four yard Burnham to Ferri touchdown pass to make the score 14-13 with 41 seconds left in the contest.

Logano wins at Loudon By DAN GELSTON AP Sports Writer LOUDON, N.H. (AP) — Raised in Connecticut, Joey Logano always considered New Hampshire his home track, the one where he dreamed of being bathed in confetti in Victory Lane and flocked by family and friends. For Logano, the track about 75 miles outside of Boston was his version of Daytona. Winning at New Hampshire could mean a bit more to him than a boyhood fantasy fulfilled when the season ends — it could be Logano’s launching pad for his first NASCAR championship. Logano helped Team Penske strengthen its grip as the organization to beat for the championship, pulling away on an overtime restart to win Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and advance to the second round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship. Make it 2 for 2 for Team Penske in the Chase. “We’re doing what we’ve got to do to win this thing right now,” Logano said. Logano and teammate Brad Keselowski, who won the Chase opener at Chicagoland, have both advanced to the next round. Four drivers will be eliminated after every third race, and a win guarantees a driver an automatic berth into the next round. The first cutoff race is next week at Dover International Speedway. Team Penske will be playing with house money at the Monster Mile. Roger Penske’s crew is rolling, winning four of the last five races dating to Bristol and snagging the early lead on the scorecard against Hendrick Motorsports. “Confidence is high through the 22 team right now, all of Team Penske,” Logano said. “All of Team Penske. We feel like we’ve got some championships to win, not only on the Cup side, but Nationwide side. And you’ve got IndyCar. We’re just trying to catch up to them.” Will Power won the IndyCar Series championship for Penske last month. Logano raced to his fourth victory of the season, leading 73 laps and surviving a NASCAR season-high 15 cautions that wrecked results for several Chase drivers. He took the lead from Kevin Harvick with 27 laps left and went on to his seventh career Cup victory. Logano attended his first NASCAR race at New Hampshire when he was 5, made his first career Cup start here and won his first race in 2009. But that was a rain-shortened win that always gnawed at Logano. Until he became a regular winner, it was considered a bit of a fluke and the rain meant Logano was denied a traditional victory celebration.
This time, he took No. 22 Ford for the celebratory burnouts and a spin around the track holding the checkered flag. “I didn’t know where Victory Lane was, actually,” Logano said. “I just didn’t want to come in. I want to stay out. I never got out in front of all the fans on the front straightaway before. It was just too cool.” Keselowski led 78 laps, hit the wall, and still was in the hunt for a win. The 2012 champion failed in his bid to win a third straight Cup race, though he salvaged a seventh-place finish. “We certainly have a lot to be proud of, but there’s a lot of work to do,” Keselowski said. Keselowski and Logano are 1-2 in the points standings. Denny Hamlin, Greg Biffle, Kurt Busch and Aric Almirola are in the bottom four of the 16-driver field at and risk of getting cut next Sunday at Dover. Rookie Kyle Larson was second at New Hampshire for his second top-three finish in two weeks. Chase drivers took seven of the first 10 spots at New Hampshire. Harvick was third, Jimmie Johnson fifth, Almirola sixth, Kyle Busch eighth, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. 10th. “It’s not all about winning and losing at this point. It’s about advancing,” said Harvick, who led a race-high 104 laps. The staggering number of cautions slowed the 300-mile race and wrecked the chances for several Chase drivers to contend for a win. Joe Gibbs Racing drivers Hamlin and Matt Kenseth; Hendrick Motorsports drivers Jeff Gordon and Kasey Kahne; and StewartHaas Racing’s Kurt Busch all finished outside of the top 20. Tony Stewart was 30th in his first race since he learned a grand jury will decide his fate in the fatal sprint car crash in upstate New York. Other Chase drivers included: AJ Allmendinger was 13th, Roush Fenway Racing drivers Biffle and Carl Edwards were 16th and 17th, Ryan Newman 18th, Kenseth 21st, Kahne 23rd, and Gordon 26th. Hamlin’s No. 11 Toyota suffered from fuel woes and was later collected in a multicar wreck and will likely need a win at Dover to advance. “It’s going to be hard to do it without some help,” Hamlin said. Logano gave Ford its 12th win this season and 630th overall. About the only sour note was Penske’s absence, who skipped the race because of an overseas business trip. But The Captain was filled in on the news that his driver won a race — which almost seems like a guarantee these days. “We’ve got to keep our eye on the prize and think about the big trophy at the end,” Logano said.
HOLYOKE, Mass. — Westfield State swept a pair of matches with Bay Path and Green Mountain on Saturday behind another big-hitting day from Victoria Sutphen and a strong service game that provided 27 service aces in two matches played the the Bartley Center.

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
What do you Suggest? Dear Annie: My brother, “Ned,” worked alongside my dad for many years. Now that Dad is getting up in years, Ned has taken over the business. Ned has had a drinking problem for a long time. Ten years ago, he landed a lucrative contract for the business, and my parents were able to put money in the bank. Since then, however, his drinking has become worse, and he has been unable to get any contracts at all. His temper has become volatile, and he briefly went to jail. He eats my parents out of house and home and ruins our family get-togethers by arguing with everyone. He threatens to sell his house, move to Hawaii and end his life if anyone tries to confront him. He refuses treatment. We are all worried about Ned, but mostly, we are concerned about my parents’ health. They don’t know how to handle Ned’s irrational behavior anymore and want to close the business before they lose everything. What do you suggest? -- Worried Sis Dear Sis: If your parents still own the business, they ought to sell it, unless they can hire someone else to run it profitably. But if Ned is a part owner, your parents will need to consult an attorney. Ned’s drinking, his volatile temper and his threats are not within their control. He has to want help and may need to hit rock bottom to get there. In the meantime, your parents have to protect themselves. Start by contacting Al-Anon (al-anon-alateen.org). Dear Annie: I have owned all kinds of pets and have always loved them dearly and considered them “family.” I can understand signing their name on birthday cards, holiday cards, etc. But I was surprised when I received a sympathy card with the signatures of the husband and wife along with the pet’s name and paw print. Do you think this is appropriate? -- Still Grieving Dear Still: The dog’s paw print changes the tone of the card from sympathetic to “cute.” It is not appropriate, but some folks simply don’t consider how that type of card is going to be received by someone in mourning. We don’t believe they meant to treat your grief lightly. Please forgive them. Our condolences on your loss. Dear Annie: I can’t believe you told “Mom” that her arriving college freshman daughter should tolerate her new roommate’s boyfriend staying overnight in their dorm room. Obviously, the mom should get in touch with the roommate’s parents and tell them she vetoes this plan. The young couple can then be angry with the mom, not the new roomie. Or if need be, call the university and request a new roommate ASAP. This is where the sexual revolution has led us. The most shameless behavior is supposed to be tolerated by everyone for fear of “rocking the boat”! -- Mother of Two College Students Dear Mother of Two: We didn’t tell her to “tolerate” it. We told her to talk to her roommate and ask that the boyfriend spend his evenings elsewhere and also to request a new roommate as soon as it can be arranged. But here’s where we disagree: We don’t believe the parents should be working this out. This girl is now an adult, and part of the college experience is learning how to manage these types of situations without parental assistance. She needs to deal with this roommate on her own. We hope she will assert herself. Dear Readers: Today is Family Day (casafamilyday.org). Studies show that children who eat dinner with their parents have a reduced risk of substance abuse. Please try to make meals a family event. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE A Recipe That’s Not Served Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, about nutritional information on packaging: “My Sound Off is about recipes. It seems when I find one I really like, it will list the nutritional information per serving but not tell you how many servings it makes or the size of a serving. It makes it very difficult to count calories this way.” -- Donna F., Elkhorn, Neb. This can be a real pain! Usually this happens with older recipes, just like many I have from my mother and grandmothers. They don’t have any nutritional info! In cases like these, you just have to guess! -- Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 78279-5000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Hints for decluttering your home: * Clean out the bottom of a closet. * Go through and toss outdated makeup. * Clean out kitchen drawers! Just one at a time. * Donate old books. * Clear the “junk” from a side/coffee table. -- Heloise

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Sept. 22, 2014: This year you will have to learn to be more flexible. As a result, you will see how well your year will work out. You have enormous creativity that you have yet to express to its fullest capacity. You will start to be more inventive, especially if you give up a certain amount of rigidity. If you are single, you could discover that you are attracted to different types of people from now until the end of the year. Hold back on making any commitments. If you are attached, you will benefit by spending more oneon-one time together. Give more private time to your relationship. LIBRA sometimes finds you to be threatening.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You have a strong sense of what others expect of you, yet you might decide to do what you want instead. You could surprise your immediate circle and even cause someone to stop in his or her tracks. Tonight: Deal with an ornery authority figure directly. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Your creativity provides you with many practical ideas, and you will be able to visualize the big picture and see its ramifications. You will gain a better understanding of someone you deal with nearly daily. Use the information well. Tonight: Off to the gym.

Tonight: Listen to the other side of an issue. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You’ll speak your mind, and others might become upset. You have a lot to share that needs to come out.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to do more listening than sharing, if only to win brownie points with those around you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Be willing to break precedent. Take a hard look at your actions and behavior. A change here could unlock a situation and make it much better than you could have imagined. You are only at the beginning of what could be an unusually dynamic period. Tonight: Think big.

Patriots’ defensive line holds off Raiders By HOWARD ULMAN AP Sports Writer FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The New England Patriots had trouble getting into the end zone. Defensive tackle Vince Wilfork made sure the Oakland Raiders stayed out of the end zone in the final minute. An interception by the 325-pound Wilfork near his goal line gave the heavily favored Patriots the ball with 51 seconds left, and they ran out the clock to hold off the Raiders 16-9 on Sunday. “It was a team play,” Wilfork said after his third career interception. “I just happened to catch it.” The ball deflected off Logan Ryan after Rob Ninkovich jarred it loose from intended receiver Denarius Moore. On the previous play, Darren McFadden’s 6-yard potential tying run into the end zone was nullified by a holding
penalty against guard Gabe Jackson. “When I turned around and everybody wasn’t coming to celebrate with me, I knew something wasn’t right,” McFadden said said. Jackson didn’t think he held. The penalty gave Oakland first-and-goal from the 12. Then Ryan redeemed himself for a pass interference penalty on the play before McFadden’s run. Just as Raiders coach Dennis Allen disagreed with the holding call, the Patriots’ Bill Belichick questioned the pass interference. In spite of a sluggish offense that settled for three field goals by Stephen Gostkowski and just one touchdown pass from Tom Brady to Rob Gronkowski, the Patriots (2-1) won their home opener for the 12th time in 13 seasons. The Raiders (0-3) lost their 15th straight game in the Eastern time zone. They were held to three field goals by Sebastian Janikowski and finished with no interceptions despite sev-

The Patriots won 16-9. (AP Photo) eral opportunities. “We are moving in the right direction,” Oakland defensive end LaMarr Woodley said. “When we have an opportunity to catch the ball we need to catch it.” Brady completed 24 of 37 passes for 234 yards and became the third quarterback with 150 regular-season wins behind Brett Favre (186) and Peyton Manning, who came into Sunday with 169. And Brady is 57-5 in his last 62 home games, including the playoffs, posting another win despite a mediocre offensive performance. The Patriots scored 10 points in the last 4:14 of the second quarter to take a 10-3 lead
— but it could have been 14-3. Brady capped a 15-play, 84-yard drive with a 6-yard touchdown pass to Gronkowski, who shook off linebacker Kaluka Maiava and caught the ball as he went over the middle. “We did just enough to get the victory,” Gronkowski said. “Sometimes it’s frustrating, but what we did today is not always going to get the job done.” The Patriots had a chance for another touchdown when they reached the 2-yard line with 8 seconds left in the half. But Dan Connolly’s snap was low and Brady picked it up and quickly threw an incompletion, stopping the clock with 3 seconds remaining. Gostkowski then kicked a 21-yard field goal. “We have first-and-goal on the 1 1/2-yard line and settle for a field goal,” Brady said. “You just can’t do that.” Derek Carr completed 21 of 34 passes for 174 yards for Oakland. But with running back Maurice Jones-Drew sidelined for the second straight week with a right hand injury, the rookie remained winless as a pro. McFadden started in Jones-Drew’s spot and rushed for 59 yards on 18 carries. The Patriots relied on their running game early against the NFL’s worst rushing defense and picked up 63 yards on the ground in the first half but just 16 the rest of the way. “Sometimes you got to grind them out,” Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman said. “An ugly win is better than a pretty loss.” The Raiders planned to leave after the game for London, where they face the Miami Dolphins in Wembley Stadium next Sunday.
