WSU campus construction

By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Following the recent groundbreaking on Westfield State University’s new science center, it may seem to city residents that there is always something being built on Western Avenue.

It’s true. A cursory scan of the University’s Facilities and Operations website lists several past, present and future projects, which include installations, renovations and repairs for several campus facilities.

Everyone knows that any project – from fixing a faucet to constructing a 54,000-square foot-academic building – requires manpower, and skilled manpower at that.

But exactly how many people receive work when Westfield State selects a contractor to work on a project?

“It’s depends on the type of project,” said Dr. Curt Robie, assistant vice president of facilities and operations at WSU. “If it’s a small renovation project, you could only have one or two trades. On a project like the science building, you’d utilize basically every trade – mechanical, electrical HVAC, steel workers, roofers, site folks… it’s a huge number.”

Robie said that when the school built its last residence hall, University Hall last year, there were anywhere between 80 and 175 people working on the building on any given day.

“The trades change as the job goes on. Certain projects you’ll have more site guys on at the beginning, more concrete doing footings and rebar and then that tails off and the next phase comes in,” he said. “There’s a natural progression through the construction of the building.”

While major campus construction projects generally hire large contractors from greater Boston, Robie added that there are usually smaller projects that utilize local contractors.

“We had a local contractor who renovated Scanlon Banquet Hall this summer and at any one time, the most people we had in there was five or six,” he said. “It depends upon the intensity of the project when it goes out to bid.”

“Justice cannot

“That was very intense. We couldn’t start the project until students moved out of Davis since it’s a residence hall and we had to finish it before the students moved in,” said Robie. “We had a large number of guys working extended hours. At one point we had people in there 24 hours a day to get the project done.”

“We work on the colleges, hopefully the casino when it comes in, the railroad company that may be coming in to the city of Springfield to build railcars,” said John Scammon of Sheetmetal Workers Local 63 in Springfield. “Schools, insurance buildings, malls… wherever there’s heat and air, that’s us.”

Scammon said that he currently has 496 current members covering western and central Massachusetts, as well as Vermont. For a 54,000 square foot building, such as the new science center at Westfield State, Scammon said his crews might increase in size over time.

“We may start out smaller at first. I may start off with a crew of 12. Sometimes it’s 30,” he said. “It all depends on how fast they want to get the job done. Our push is quality and we go pretty quick with our jobs.”

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Two local chapters of the American Red Cross are being consolidated with the Pioneer Valley Chapter as part of a nationwide reorganization.

The Westfield Chapter and the Berkshire Chapters are being folded into the Springfield-based Pioneer Valley Chapter and some positions in the local chapters are being eliminated as the National Red Cross organization restructures the agency.

The Westfield Red Cross Chapter, established in 1923, had been located at 48 Broad St., since the building was donated in 1948. The Chapter House was closed in June of 2012 and the Westfield program relocated to St. John’s Lutheran Church at 60 Broad Street where the chapter’s administrative operations and educational programs are now housed.

Executive Director Kim Goulette of the Pioneer Valley Chapter said this morning that the national organization “is streamlining, transforming our operations to meet the growing demand for our services while making the best use of donor dollars.”

“The services, classes, disaster relief and blood drives will remain the same,” Goulette said. The two executive directors’ positions will be managed through here.”

“We will miss Rich (Rubin, Westfield Chapter executive director) tremendously,” Goulette said. “Rich has been an incredible asset to the Red Cross for over 30 years.”

Goulette said that Rubin is still working for the Red Cross as the consolidation plan evolves.

The Pioneer Valley Chapter leadership is currently working with the Westfield Red Cross Board of directors as part of the reorganization.

Town to apply for grant through PVPC

By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – The Board of Selectmen last week gave approval to the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission (PVPC) to apply for a grant for the town.

James Mazik of the PVPC met with the board to discuss a recent denial of a grant application because the town did not score high enough to qualify.

“The cutoff was 76 points and you were eight points below that,” said Mazik.

Mazik said he believed another appliation showing improvements to areas such as veteran’s streets would earn approval. He said that category scored an average of 53 points, due in part to lack of resident participation in advisory committee meetings and a lack of residential input.

“Points were knocked off because there was no sign-in sheet,” Mazik offered as an example of why there was such a low score.

Mazik suggested taking the grant-required ad-hoc committee, which will be headed

by Selectman Joseph Deedy, literally to the streets to speak to veterans as a way to get more input and increase scores.

One area of excellence was the mobile food pantry, which

“The mobile food pantry scored 67 points, which is really high,” he said.

Mazik added that social service programs are not included as a category but count toward the average score.

Housing and Rehab scored well, but Mazik said they could easily improve the score.

“There wasn’t additional outreach to target areas, and

we can do that,” he said, using letters as an example.

Mazik told the board he believed the town could raise their scores into the high 60s, plus receive an additional 10 points for its regional services. He added that the PPC had a good success rate with grants.

“We wrote eight applications and were successful with six,” he said.

“That’s a good sign,” said Chief Administrative Officer Karl Stinehart.

The board agreed to allow the PVPC to work with the ad-hoc committee and prepare a new grant application.

“The sooner the better,” Mazik said of the committee formation. “I will contact Granville and we can do something on a Saturday in October on the street.”

Deedy said he would call upon the ad-hoc committee members from the last application.

“We don’t have to reinvent the wheel,” he said.

WSU police charge car break suspects

By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Westfield State University police believe they have identified five men who broke into, or attempted to break into, dozens of vehicles parked in the WSU South Parking Lot in May. The campus police began to investigate after a victim came to them to report the theft of property from her vehicle while it was parked in the lot and provided a time frame for the theft.

WSU Officer Tyler Moore reports that a review of security video showed that about 2:50 a.m. on May 1 a car followed the university’s shuttle bus into the parking lot but nobody left the vehicle until the shuttle had departed.

Then, Moore reports, “Five black males got out and checked the door handles of cars in that immediate area.”

The video showed the men return to the car, a gray Toyota Camry, which moved to another parking slot in the lot and the men “spread out and checked other vehicles in the area.”

The pattern was repeated, Moore reports. He wrote that, while the officers were not able to identify many of the vehicles the men entered or attempted to enter, at least four specific vehicles which were broken into were identified.

He also reports that the officers were able to read the registration plate on the vehicle the suspects arrived in and they found the vehicle to be owned by Abdullah AbdulRahim, 21, of 182 Florida Street.

The next day, Moore reports “(WSU) Officer Coughlin and I (Officer Moore), drove around the Florida Street vicinity of Springfield with Detective Ron Sheehan of the See WSU Police, Page 3

Patrick proclaims ‘Advanced Manufacturing Week’ Week-long series of events promote importance of the Manufacturing Industry across the Commonwealth BOSTON – Governor Deval Patrick today proclaimed this week as Advanced Manufacturing Week in Massachusetts, underscoring the administration’s support of the robust advanced manufacturing industry and its workforce throughout the Commonwealth. The weeklong celebration coincides with national efforts to promote the role advanced manufacturing plays in

the economy, with the third annual National Advanced Manufacturing Day being celebrated on October 3.

“The Commonwealth is a national leader in Advanced Manufacturing, and we want to keep it that way,” said Patrick. “By working with our partners in industry and academia, we are continuing to enhance the competitiveness of our robust advanced manufacturing industry, for today and the future.”

Massachusetts is home to over 7,000 manufacturers with 250,000 employees. Throughout the week, Patrick administration officials will participate in events that highlight the statewide effort to promote careers in advanced manufacturing and build awareness among

manufacturers about the many programs in place to support them.

The Patrick administration is committed to supporting the growth of advanced manufacturing in Massachusetts, an industry that is expected to require 100,000 jobs in the next decade and offers careers in a sector with an average annual salary of $75,000. The week’s celebration builds on record investments in workforce training and education made by the Administration in recent years. In 2011, Patrick launched the Advanced Manufacturing Collaborative (AMC), a partnership between industry and government to help build a globally competitive manufacturing industry in Massachusetts. Its five-point agen-

da brings together manufacturers, educators, academia, and other organizations to work on industryidentified priorities including promoting manufacturing; workforce and education; manufacturing innovation; the cost of doing business including energy management and sustainability; and access to capital resources.

The AMC’s AMP it Up! Program which launched in September 2012 and is operated by MassDevelopment, works to build awareness among young adults and their families on the opportunities for well-paying careers in manufacturing. Massachusetts-based nonprofit organizations that See Advanced, Page 5

Cops: Man fired into neighbor’s home to unload gun MIDDLETOWN, Pa. (AP) — Police in Pennsylvania say a man accused of shooting a bullet through a neighbor’s window told a judge he fired the gun because it was the only way he knew how to unload it.

Middletown Detective Patrick Nicastro tells the Bucks County Courier Times (http://bit.ly/1CwbE81) that 31-year-old George Byrd IV of Penndel at first denied being behind the shooting but then acknowledged during his arraignment that he fired the weapon to clear the chamber because he was unfamiliar with guns.

Authorities say Byrd fired the gun early Friday afternoon in the suburban Philadelphia community. No one was injured.

Byrd is being held in the Bucks County jail on $20,000 bond. No attorney is listed on court papers.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Oct. 8.

n Sept. 29, 1789, the U.S. War Department established a regular army with a strength of several hundred men.

On this date: In 1829, London’s reorganized police force, which became known as Scotland Yard, went on duty.

In 1862, Prussia’s newly appointed minister-president, Otto von Bismarck, declared the issue of German unification would be decided “not through speeches and majority decisions” but by “iron and blood (Eisen und Blut).”

In 1910, the National Urban League, which had its beginnings as The Committee on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, was established in New York.

In 1938, British, French, German and Italian leaders concluded the Munich Agreement, which was aimed at appeasing Adolf Hitler by allowing Nazi annexation of Czechoslovakia’s Sudetenland.

In 1943, General Dwight D. Eisenhower and Italian Marshal Pietro Badoglio signed an armistice aboard the British ship HMS Nelson off Malta.

In 1954, the movie “A Star Is Born,” starring Judy Garland and James Mason, had its world premiere at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood.

In 1963, “The Judy Garland Show” premiered on CBSTV. In 1978, Pope John Paul I was found dead in his Vatican apartment just over a month after becoming head of the Roman Catholic Church.

In 1982, Extra-Strength Tylenol capsules laced with deadly cyanide claimed the first of seven victims in the Chicago area. (To date, the case remains unsolved.)

In 1989, actress Zsa Zsa Gabor was convicted of battery for slapping Beverly Hills police officer Paul Kramer after he’d pulled over her Rolls-Royce for expired license plates. (As part of her sentence, Gabor ended up serving three days in jail.)

In 1999, The Associated Press reported on the killing of hundreds of South Korean refugees by U.S. soldiers in the early days of the Korean War, beneath a bridge at a hamlet called No Gun Ri. (In 2001, after its own investigation, the U.S. Army affirmed that killings had occurred, but said they were not deliberate.)

In 2005, John G. Roberts Jr. was sworn in as the nation’s 17th chief justice after winning Senate confirmation.

Ten years ago: A video surfaced showing Kenneth Bigley, a British hostage held by Iraqi militants, pleading for help between the bars of a makeshift cage. (Bigley was later killed.) The privately built SpaceShipOne rocket plane hurtled past the edge of earth’s atmosphere, completing the first stage of a quest to win the $10 million Ansari X Prize.

Five years ago: New York City terrorism suspect Najibullah Zazi pleaded not guilty to conspiring to use weapons of mass destruction in what authorities said was a planned attack on commuter trains. (Zazi later pleaded guilty to charges including conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction and supporting al-Qaida.) Former Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu (shoo) was sentenced in New York to more than 24 years in prison for his guilty plea to fraud charges and another four years and four months in prison for his conviction at trial for breaking campaign finance laws; he’s due to be released in 2030.

Athenaeum introduces Little Library WESTFIELD – The Friends of the Westfield Athenaeum are proud to introduce Westfield’s own Little Free Library.

Library Friend, Art Sousa, designed and created what he hopes to be a prototype for the community-based project to raise literacy awareness and foster the love of sharing books.

Based on the “take a book, leave a book” principle, the Little Library is designed to be a free-standing depository in and among communities. Residents and neighbors share reading materials through this free exchange and keep the library stocked through their own good will.

Started in 2009 in Wisconsin, the Little Free Library idea has spread across the country and inspired cities and neighborhoods to design, create, and build structures to freely exchange books.

According to LittleFreeLibrary.org, their mission is “to promote literacy and the love of reading by building free book exchanges worldwide. And to build a sense of community as we share skills, creativity and wisdom across generations.”

Westfield’s Little Library will become a registered library through this organization, but the hope is that residents and neighborhoods will create and sustain their own.

In addition to the Davis Hall renovations, in which 60 percent of the building, including bathrooms, were made compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act at a cost in excess of $6 million, the university also renovated the banquet facility in Scanlon Hall for just under $200,000, and renovated air conditioning in Parenzo Hall for $1.6 million.

“In the queue, we’re keeping on with the Science Building.

It isn’t going to be finished until 2016,” said Robie. “But we’ll be renovating Dickinson Hall and doing the exact same thing we did in Davis.”

Robie added that the school is also working with the state on a possible accelerated energy project which will allow for some upgrades to some existing campus systems.

He is also looking at the reuse of Juniper Park Elementary School as a center for music, theater and art after the city of Westfield’s lease on the building expires in 2015.

“We have $2.8 million in the higher ed capital bond bill a number of years ago that were earmarked for renovations to Dever Auditorium,” he said. “We’re getting design and development drawings to pursue that project. It will make Dever comply with the Massachusetts Architectural Access Board (MAAB) regulations and hopefully some other improvements.”

“We’re meeting with the Westfield Board of Directors Tuesday to help us better serve and support that board,” Goulette said, “reaching out to help (the board more forward) without an executive director.”

“The role of volunteer leadership will expand,” Goulette said, “so we need to support communities as we always have.”

Judy Strzempko, a member of the Westfield Red Cross Board of Directors said this morning that the national organization “is doing the same consolidation among regions and chapters to be more efficient.”

“The reorganization is being done throughout the United States and is based upon populations and service demand,” Strzempko said.

Springfield Police Departement … attempting to find the gray Toyota” and the detective provided information about possible suspects at the 182 Florida St. address.

A few days later, Moore reports, officers contacted a person who had signed in a visitor, Abduttawwab Abdul-Rahim, to one of the university’s residence halls and that witness came to the WSU police department to meet with the officers.

“Witness #1 stated that he did sign them in on May 24th, but then left Abduttawwab at Dickinson Hall. When Witness #1 came back they had left”, Moore reports. When shown a picture of the suspect’s vehicle, “he identified it as being Abduttawwab’s vehicle.” He also recognized the five suspects and identified four of them although he was unsure about the fifth suspect’s name.

Between April 28 and May 7, seven victims reported that their vehicles had been broken into, six in the South Parking Lot and one while parked on Davis Road.

Nothing was taken from one of the vehicles, although the contents were disturbed, but the other victims reported that a GPS device and cord, an iPod Touch, an iPod Nano, a cellphone charger, “an expensive black car charger”, a chrome flashlight and cash were reported to have been stolen from the other five cars.

Moore reports that four of the men identified by the witness “are being charged with multiple counts of breaking and entering into a motor vehicle” and the fifth man “would be charged but his information cannot be found at this time.”

Mikhal Asad, 22, of 105 Thompson St., Springfield, was arraigned Friday in Westfield District Court on four charges of breaking and entering with intent to commit a misdemeanor, three charges of larceny of property valued less than $250, two charges of larceny of property valued more than $250 and two charges of breaking and entering a vehicle in the nighttime with intent to commit a felony.

Abdullah I. Abdul-Rahim, 21, and Abduttawwab AbdulRahim, 28, both of 182 Florida St., Springfield, were arraigned on the same charges on Aug. 7.

All three defendants were released on their personal recognizance and are scheduled to return to court on Oct. 2.

Boston City Council seeks raise BOSTON (AP) — The Boston City Council is considering giving itself a $25,000 raise.

City Council President Bill Linehan wants to boost council pay by about 29 percent, from $87,500 to $112,500.

The council’s Government Operations committee will hold a public hearing Monday morning at City Hall to discuss the proposed ordinance.

Linehan says the pay boost is long overdue: the 13-member panel’s last raise came in 2006.

A 2013 city survey found Boston’s councilor pay was higher than the pay in most Massachusetts cities and in some cities nationally including Baltimore, which pays councilors $61,383.

Linehan’s proposed pay raise would bring Boston councilor pay more in line with major American cities like San Francisco ($105,723), New York ($112,500), Chicago ($116,674) and Washington, D.C. ($125,583), based on the 2013 survey.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR To the Editor I am voting NO, thus YES on casinos; why? Set aside the rhetoric on both sides, and think. Are casinos the savior: no.

Bars and inner city restaurants will lose out. But, Springfield gains a new set of buildings; we get to promote other venues as the Basketball Hall of Fame, the museums, Dr. Seuss, Indian Motorcycles, etc. We get to promote the region.

If the question goes down are we subject to lawsuits in the billions? This is one discussion I have not heard. They invested heavily on a promissory that we may reneg upon after enticing them to invest.

I agree, and have said for some time that the market is saturated and that entertainment will drive their success or not.

People coming to be entertained will be the asset.

This is a means, and not an end. Along with other down improvements and a new train connector, we have the opportunity to make West Mass., the hub of New England. We will have to be marketers of our other assets to use this to our advantage. So think before you vote yes to not have casinos.

Senate polls good news for GOP hopes

By James Hohmann Politico.com New public polls this weekend show Republicans well positioned in three of the key states that could decide control of the Senate.

CNN/ORC polls released Sunday have the GOP candidate narrowly ahead in a Louisiana runoff and within the margin of error in North Carolina.

In the Louisiana primary, Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu leads Republican Bill Cassidy, 43 percent to 40 percent among likely voters, with Republican Rob Maness getting 9 percent.

Sarah Palin campaigned with Maness Saturday.

If no one clears 50 percent in November, the top two finishers square off in a Dec. 6 runoff. In a head-to-head matchup, Cassidy wins by 3 points, 50 percent to 47 percent, among likely voters. Landrieu, though, leads by 6 points, 51-45, among the broader sample of registered voters. The divergent numbers highlight the importance of Democratic efforts to boost black turnout, especially for a December runoff.

North Carolina Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan leads by 3 points, 46 percent to 43 percent, among likely voters, with Libertarian Sean Haugh getting 7 percent.

That’s within the margin of error and comes even though Hagan is seen more negatively than her challenger. While 46 percent hold a positive view of Hagan, 47 percent hold a negative view. Tillis is viewed favorably by 47 percent and unfavorably by 40 percent.

Meanwhile, a Des Moines Register poll published in Sunday’s newspaper has Republican Joni Ernst leading by 6 points in the Iowa Senate race, 44 percent to 38 percent.

Democrats scoffed at the Register poll and pushed back by sharing exclusively with Politico an internal poll conducted this week that shows a tied race, 42 percent to 42 percent. The Register poll, conducted by Ann Selzer, is considered the gold standard in the Hawkeye State, and it has a good record of anticipating the margin in presidential races.

In the two states surveyed by CNN, President Barack Obama is a drag on the respective Democratic incumbent.

Obama’s approval rating in Louisiana is 37 percent, with 61 percent disapproving, including a remarkable racial disparity.

Among whites, Obama’s approval rating is just 17 percent.

Among non-whites, it is 76 percent.

In North Carolina, Obama’s approval is 38 percent, with 58 percent disapproving (26 percent among whites and 75 percent among nonwhites).

Results released by the Des Moines Register thus far did not include the president’s approval rating.

Braley and Ernst are both treading water. He’s viewed favorably and unfavorably by an equal 42 percent, with 16 percent undecided. She’s viewed favorably by 45 percent, unfavorably by 44 percent and 11 percent are undecided.

Ernst has been hammered on television, where Republicans have been outspent. While she and Braley have similar standing at the topline, 29 percent view Ernst “very” unfavorably compared to 22 percent who feel that way about Braley.

Ernst is up 43 points among rural voters; Braley is up 7 points among city dwellers. Braley and Ernst are tied in the House district he’s represented since 2006.

The Republican has her work cut out for her on appealing to seniors in the home stretch, some of whom are clearly being scared off by ads that accuse her of planning to privatize Social Security. Her weakest performance among any age groups is those 65 and over, where she was up just 1 point.

There are signs of fluidity: 12 percent are undecided, and just under a third of each candidate’s supporters said they still could be persuaded to vote for another candidate.

Ernst leads by 25 points among men (55-30), while Braley leads by 13 points among women (46-33).

The CNN polls show a slimmer gender gap.

Tech-friendly cities struggle with new biz rules

By PHILIP MARCELO Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — A renowned technology hub that is home to some of the country’s top universities, Boston is emerging as an unlikely battleground for web-based businesses like Airbnb and Uber, with some saying more regulations are needed to prevent the upstarts from disrupting communities and more established industries.

Boston, prompted by the arrival of the mobile app Haystack, recently banned services that allow people to offer their public parking spaces for sale. Now the City Council is considering restrictions on ride-sharing services like Uber, Lyft and Sidecar and lodging websites like Airbnb, HomeAway and FlipKey, which allow users to book short-term stays in private residences. Across the river in Cambridge, home to Harvard and MIT, officials have been trying for years to restrict rideshares.

From New York to San Francisco, cities have been wrestling with the same questions and developing solutions ranging from outright bans to minimum safety requirements. At the heart, officials say, the issue is about balancing public safety and governmental oversight with the services’ growing popularity.

But technology companies point out that the push for regulation is ironic in many technology-heavy cities that have built their reputations, in large part, on being on the leading edge.

“For a city known for its innovation and progressiveness, it is shocking that Cambridge would cling so blindly to the past,” Uber wrote on its website in June as it called on supporters to speak out against proposed regulations.

Andrea Jackson, the chair of Cambridge’s Licensing Commission, said Uber was oversimplifying the challenges emerging business strategies pose to cities.

“We know that these things are likely here to stay,” she said. “My only concern is that they are safe. I want to make sure the drivers have background checks. I want to make sure they have adequate insurance.”

Safety mandates have been imposed in

other cities. Chicago, for example, assesses licensing fees and requires rideshare companies to submit to background checks, vehicle inspections, driver tests and random drug screens of their employees. The companies are also required to obtain $1 million in commercial auto liability coverage.

Uber spokesman Taylor Bennett said the company understands the need for thoughtful regulations but will fight attempts to protect the local taxi industry.

Cab owners complain rideshares offer lower prices because they avoid licensing fees and other costly mandates imposed on their highly-regulated industry. Boston-area cab drivers staged a noisy, rolling protest around Uber’s downtown Boston office in May. “Simply reacting to taxi or creating regulations or ordinances to protect taxi is protectionism, and that only serves one entrenched industry when consumers are clamoring for more and better options to get around town,” Bennett said.

Bennett said Uber is focused on securing specific, statewide authority from legislators to operate in Massachusetts, as they have in Colorado and other states.

For short-term lodging services, cities have focused their energies on imposing local hotel taxes, establishing basic registration programs, and making sure property owners meet minimum housing standards.

Austin, Texas has set up a licensing system with an annual fee and limits on the number of units in a building — or houses in a residential neighborhood — that can be rented at a given time.

Portland, Oregon allows single-family homeowners — but not apartment and condo owners — to offer short-term rentals, as long as they complete a safety inspection and neighbor notification process.

In Boston, City Councilor Salvatore LaMattina, who has requested public hearings on Airbnb-type services, says short-term lodging operators should, at minimum, be required to register with the city, so officials at least know where

they are, for safety reasons.

He’s also concerned the services could eventually end up pricing out families and full-time residents. Landlords, increasingly, are turning their apartments and condos into full-time lodging operations rather than renting them to longerterm tenants, he says. “They’re taking away the affordable housing stock,” LaMattina said. “I’m working to keep my neighborhoods stable, with families that know each other.”

Airbnb spokesman Nick Papas disputed that notion, citing a companycommissioned study that suggests offering rooms for short-term rentals provides extra income to families living in highcost metropolitan areas.

“We’ve heard countless stories from people who have been able to stay in their home and the neighborhood they love thanks to Airbnb,” he said.

Papas says the San Francisco company has already had “productive conversations” with Boston leaders and looks forward to working on “clear, progressive and fair” rules for home sharing.

But he declined to elaborate on what proposals the company would support and which it would strongly oppose.

“We believe people should be able to share the home in which they live,” Papas said.

Brooks Rainwater, of the National League of Cities, which is helping cities develop strategies to address these new services, says it’s not surprising that the most pitched battles are playing out in tech-friendly cities like Boston and Cambridge.

The college students and young professionals that comprise a large part of their populations are usually the early adopters. And historical urban centers are also the ones that tend to have outdated and oftentimes byzantine local codes.

“It’s really a reflection of cultural shifts that are happening in cities globally. As society is speeding up, people are expecting services are their beck and call,” Rainwater said. “The landscape is constantly shifting. … Cities are actually working fairly swiftly to address these issues.”

Hurt Massachusetts hiker rescued in New Hampshire SANDWICH, N.H. (AP) — A Massachusetts man is recovering from a fall on New Hampshire’s Mount Israel that left him unable to walk and required rescue crews to carry him out.

New Hampshire Fish and Game says 65-year-old Anthony Rogers of Amherst, Massachusetts, was hiking on the Mead Trail in Sandwich on Saturday when he slipped on a rock about three miles from the nearest road.

About a dozen volunteers assisted Fish and Game conservation officers in carrying Rogers for about a mile and a half to a waiting fire department all-terrain vehicle. He was taken to a hospital for treatment.

address education and workforce can apply for funding at www.ampitup.com. Across the Commonwealth in recognition of manufacturing week, the AMC engage manufacturers, schools and colleges to participate in open houses, public tours, roundtable discussions, career workshops and other events hosted by manufacturers.

“Massachusetts is on the cutting-edge among states in supporting the growth of 21st century manufacturing,” said Housing and Economic Development Secretary Greg Bialecki.

“Together with our regional partners, we are ensuring the next generation is equipped with the skills and knowledge needed for careers in advanced manufacturing.”

In June 2013, Patrick announced the creation of the Advanced Manufacturing Regional Partnership Academy, a first-in-the-Nation program designed to meet the manufacturing industry’s future workforce needs. The Academy provides hands-on learning opportunities, and tool and peer-education to regional leaders, helping eliminate one of the industry’s chief concerns of finding well-trained employees to fill available jobs in manufacturing. Last month, Patrick signed an economic development package that included $12 million for the establishment of the Middle Skills Job Training Grant Fund. The fund will provide grants to vocational-technical schools and community college to support advanced manufacturing, mechanical and technical skills, hospitality and information technology industries training. The fund aims to train 4,000 workers over the next four years to address the workforce and talent pipeline needs of employers in Massachusetts.

“I am proud that we are committed to supporting manufacturing through the Commonwealth’s vocational-technical high schools, realizing this is an essential area to advance our workforce for the future,” said Secretary of Education Matthew Malone. “We are making strategic investments so that our students graduate highly skilled and prepared to compete in the manufacturing industry.”

“Jobs in advanced manufacturing help the Commonwealth build upon its competitive advantages of a diverse economy and highly educated workforce,” said Labor and Workforce Development Secretary Rachel Kaprielian. “The record investments the Patrick Administration has made in workforce development and skills training in this new sector will create opportunities for generations of workers to come.”

“Massachusetts is where America’s Industrial Revolution began 200 years ago. We’re now witnessing a new revolution led by advanced manufacturing leaders such as robotics, fiber optics, laser, and solar energy,” noted Senator Richard T. Moore, Senate Chair of the Legislature’s Manufacturing Caucus.

“Manufacturing in the Commonwealth accounts for more than 10 percent of the GSP and encompasses a wide range of industries,” said Representative John V. Fernandes (D-Milford) founder and House Chair of the Legislative Manufacturing Caucus and AMC Board member. “In addition, these manufacturers are constantly generating innovative solutions to challenges, fueling growth not just in the manufacturing sector, but in many other sectors of our economy. I am consistently impressed by the members of this this important and vibrant industry. “ “For too long, Massachusetts took its manufacturers for granted,” said Advanced Manufacturing Collaborative Co-Chair Mitch Tyson, Principal, Tyson Associates. “Thanks to the efforts of the AMC and the manufacturers that it repre-

sents, events will take place throughout the Commonwealth on this National Manufacturing Day to showcase top-notch companies, highly-skilled workforces, and cutting-edge offerings.

I especially hope that students will participate in National Manufacturing Day and learn about exciting careers in this thriving industry.”

“Over the last three years, the Commonwealth and the private sector have worked together in an unprecedented partnership to insure that advanced manufacturing in Massachusetts gets the attention that a sector of its import deserves,” said Advanced Manufacturing Collaborative Co-Chair Ed Leyden, Owner, Ben Franklin Design and Manufacturing Inc. “The AMC has held high-profile public events and produced tangible resources that increase the prospects that advanced manufacturers will continue to thrive by selling their highly-engineered, world-leading products.”

In the head-to-head, Cassidy actually leads among men and slightly among women. His victory is powered by a 71-26 point lead among whites. Even among white women, Landrieu is stuck below 30 percent.

Hagan has led in every single poll since August. North Carolina has slipped down the list of likeliest GOP pick-ups, with Arkansas, Louisiana and Alaska all feeling more winnable for GOP strategists.

But Tillis remains in the hunt in the Tar Heel State, especially if he can woo a chunk of those currently backing the Libertarian. To reach those voters, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul has cut an ad on his behalf and will travel to the state this week to campaign with him.

The Iowa Poll of 546 likely voters (culled from a larger sample of 800) was conducted Sept. 21-24 by Selzer & Co. and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.2 percent for likely voters.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A Pittsfield man convicted last week of killing three Berkshire County men faces sentencing.

Caius Veiovis is scheduled to be sentenced Monday to a mandatory term of life in prison with no parole following victim impact statements in Hampden Superior Court.

He was convicted Friday of the August 2011 slayings of David Glasser; Edward Frampton; and Robert Chadwell following a two-week trial and another week of jury deliberations.

Veiovis, who has forehead bumps and facial tattoos, is the third person convicted in the slayings.

Prosecutors say Glasser was killed so he could not testify against one of the other defendants in an unrelated assault case.

The other two victims were killed to eliminate witnesses.

The defense argued that there was little evidence tying Veivos to the slayings.

Westfield Farmers’ Market continues WESTFIELD — The Westfield Farmers’ Market will be open for one more week on Thursday, October 2 for a chance to buy fresh fruit, vegetables and flowers. Last week, the church announced that the Farmers Market will continue next year in the same home on the church lawn where it has been held the last three years. With the dissolution of the Westfield Business Improvement District, church leadership has taken on the responsibility for the market, Deborah Randzio, church member, said. Vendors say they appreciate the high visibility on the lawn of the church and its proximity to the square in downtown Westfield. “Our doors are open to all people,”

The Rev. Nancy Webb Stroud, rector of the Episcopal Church of the Atonement said. “Finding ways to provide healthy food for the people of Westfield and the surrounding towns and to support the businesses of our area is consistent with the mission of the church.

The church has hosted the annual Strawberry Festival for over 150 years as a community outreach, so we have a long history of feeding people.” Throughout the winter the church will be looking for ways to expand the market to attract more customers and a larger number and variety of vendors. To be part of the fun, contact the church at 562-5461, or email farmersmarket@atonementwestfield.net.

Bankruptcy’s end more clear than Orr’s future DETROIT (AP) — Kevyn Orr’s success in shepherding Detroit through its historic bankruptcy will leave him unemployed, at least temporarily, when and if his task in the Motor City is complete.

The turnaround expert who helped Chrysler through its 2009 Chapter 11 restructuring says he has given no thought to what he will do once Detroit’s bankruptcy trial ends.

“I will talk to no one about a potential job until I’m done here,” Orr said minutes after signing an order Thursday relinquishing most of the power he’s had for the past year-and-a-half as stateappointed emergency manager back to the mayor and City Council. “I’ll be truly unemployed — hopefully in a couple of weeks.”

Chances are he won’t be jobless for long.

Big E sets record WEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — Summer-like temperatures over the weekend helped the Big E fair set an attendance record for the 17-day event.

The Eastern States Exposition which ended Sunday drew nearly 1.5 million visitors this year, its’ 98th.

The exact amount was 1,498,605, breaking the previous attendance record of 1,481,917.

President Eugene Cassidy said he was “thrilled” with attendance this year.

The fair this year also single day attendance record when 170,612 passed through the gates on Sept. 20, breaking a record set in 1980.

The final day of the fair featured a six-horse hitch showdown, a visit from Democratic candidate for governor Martha Coakley and a celebration of the Special Olympics.

The fair features concerts, carnival rides, food, animal exhibits and goods from all six New England states.

uncharted water,” said Michael Sweet, a bankruptcy attorney with FoxRothschild’s San Francisco office. “It puts him at the forefront of people who do this. He would have accomplished in a very short period something no one has ever done.”

Orr left the international law firm Jones Day to take the Detroit job in March 2013 for $275,000 per year. That July, he made Detroit the largest U.S. city to file for bankruptcy. At the time, he boldly predicted he would get Detroit out of bankruptcy by the end of his term.

While that has not happened yet, the massive debt, thousands of creditors and complex union and pension issues had many experts thinking Detroit’s bankruptcy would take years to resolve, considering two California cities — Stockton and San Bernardino — filed a year before Detroit did and still haven’t settled on plans.

His debt adjustment plan, which still must be approved in bankruptcy court by federal Judge Steven Rhodes seeks to wipe out $7 billion of the city’s $12 billion in unsecured debt.

The plan calls for $1.7 billion to be used to pay for improved police, fire and other critical city services.

But it also would cut pensions for non-uniformed retirees by 4.5 percent and erase cost-of-living allowances.

Some cost-of-living payments for retired police and firefighters also would be lost.

Other cities faced with similar financial troubles are most certainly looking at Orr’s Detroit work, said bankruptcy expert James Spiotto.

“He’s clearly known as the emergency manager,” said Spiotto, managing director of Chapman Strategic Advisors in Chicago. “He has gained the experience of working through this, and that provides a unique area of expertise. Various cities are looking for advice from various parties on what their alternatives are. Municipalities really want to make the decision themselves, but they’re interested in good advice.”

Each of Detroit’s nine council members voted last week to end Orr’s contract as emergency manager. Mayor Mike Duggan supported the measure, as did Orr, who told reporters that Duggan and the council were ready to take over.

Karen Kindell, a Detroit resident who works in health care, calls the moves “good” and says she is glad Orr no longer stands over Detroit.

China busts smugglers of iPhone 6 in Shanghai BEIJING (AP) — China in recent days has busted a slew of smugglers bringing Apple iPhone 6 models into the country ahead of their official release here, with officials on Sunday reporting the latest seizure of 453 smartphones in

Hundreds more were seized during three separate busts Thursday through Saturday in Hong Kong, including from men with a speedboat who were loading contraband onto a wooden sampan-style boat

in a mangrove, the official Xinhua News Agency said.

The latest seizure was from the luggage of two passengers arriving at the Shanghai airport from Tokyo, one of them Chinese and one of them Japanese, a woman at the Shanghai customs agency said, confirming state media reports. She said hundreds more have been confiscated individually from passengers who did not declare them.

Apple delayed its original plans to introduce the iPhone 6 in China this month, but did not comment on reports that it still hadn’t received Chinese regulatory approval. The already-thriving black market for the phones in China, where Apple competes with

less-expensive alternatives from local powerhouse Xiaomi, plus Lenovo and Samsung, has drawn a rebuke in Chinese state media.

The Global Times said in an editorial Friday that the frenzy over iPhone 6 — including a scuffle among Chinese nationals queuing up at an Apple store in the U.S. — was making China “lose face.” It said iPhones apparently were hip, but that buyer’s shouldn’t buy into their marketing hype. “Please show that you despise those who already have the iPhone 6,” the editorial read.

Apple became a target of state media critiques in March 2013 over alleged unfairness when it was reported that,

under its warranty policy, it was fixing internal components of faulty iPhones in China while elsewhere it was replacing the entire phone.

Apple later clarified that it would be replacing handsets in China and apologized about the concerns, and the furor subsided.

BRIDGEWATER – The Westfield State University women’s soccer team scored early and often as the Owls cruised to an 8-1 MASCAC win on the road over Bridgewater State University on Saturday afternoon at Swenson Field.

Senior midfielder Sarah Sypek (Westhampton, Mass.) and senior forward Amanda Grant (Westfield, Mass.) both produced hat tricks for Westfield with Sypek also adding a pair of assists. Sophomore forward Kate Matroni (Hampden, Mass.) chipped in with two goals and a helper.

The Owls potted four goals within the first 19 minutes of the contest and never looked back.

BSU freshman forward Courtney Pepin (Uxrbidge, Mass.) tallied the lone goal of the

game for the Bears in the 54th minute as she beat the Westfield keeper one-on-one off a nice feed from senior midfielder Lauren Bandoian (Medford, Mass.).

The Owls held a 22-11 shot advantage as well as a 7-2 edge in corner kicks.

Sophomore netminder Anne Stack (East Longmeadow, Mass.) picked up the win between the pipes for Westfield as she made three saves in a little under 70 minutes of work. Junior Emma Titus (Salem, Mass.) turned aside six shots in goal for Bridgewater.

In upcoming action, the Bears entertain nonconference rival UMass Dartmouth on Wednesday night for a seven o’clock. The Owls are off until next Saturday when they travel to Massachusetts Maritime Academy for a noontime MASCAC game with the Buccaneers.

Bears hold off Owls WESTFIELD – Kolin Campbell (Norton/Norton, Mass.) scored the match’s lone goal on a header in the 69th minute to lift Bridgewater State to a 1-0 win over Westfield State University and spoil the Owls’ Family Parent Day in a MASCAC men’s soccer match at Alumni Field on Saturday.

Nicholas Keddie (Cardinal Spellman/Abington, Mass.)crossed the ball from the left side, where it found the head of Campbell about eight yards out in front of the net and redirected inside the far post.

Westfield’s best scoring opportunities came earlier in the match. Dan Anderson (Bedford/Bedford, Mass.) had an opportunity in the first half, battling several defenders to win a ball in the box. When he wheeled and fired a hard shot it was directly at Bridgewater netminder Colin Jepson (Upper Cape Voc/Sandwich, Mass.) who made the save.

Westfield had several opportunities in the first 10 minutes of the second half. Dom Cavallini’s (Minnechaug/Springfield, Mass.) strong play on the left side yielded a hard shot from near the top of the 18 that Jepson saved, then a few minutes later, Cavallini drove a hard cross for Zack Horn (Old Colony/Carver, Mass.) that could not connect.

Cam Ritter (Agawam/Agawam, Mass.) also won a ball in the box and beat two defenders but was able to muster a solid shot which was again saved by Jepson.

Jepson finished with five saves for Bridgewater, which improves to 3-4, and 1-1 in the MASCAC. Keith Hevey (Chicopee/Chicopee, Mass.) made nine saves for Westfield, now 1-7-1 on the season and 0-2 in the MASCAC. The Owls travel to Mass Maritime next Saurday for a 6:00 p.m. game.

Meg Doherty scores her second goal of the contest.

Late goal sinks Owls WESTFIELD – Plymouth State scored three second half goals to erase two deficits and top Westfield State University in Little East field hockey action on Saturday, Sept. 27 at Alumni Field.

Westfield falls to 3-4 overall and 0-3 in conference play while Plymouth State improves to 5-1 and 3-0.

Emily Davis (Boscawen, N.H./ Merrimack Valley) tallied the final two goals with under nine minutes remaining, including the game winner in the 64th when she deflected a shot drove by Kristen Morris (Stoughton/ Stoughton).

Meg Doherty (Mansfield/ Mansfield) led the Owls’ offensive attack with two goals of her own.

The first came off an Emily Williams (Deerfield/

Frontier Regional) corner via Kelsey Carpenter (Barre/ Quabbin Regional), marking the only tally of the first half.

Plymouth’s Sam Carberry (Shrewsbury, Pa./ Susquehannock) evened the score less than two minutes into the second half with an unassisted goal.

Meg Doherty responded with her second goal, blasting a shot from the top of the circle that found the upper left corner and gave Westfield a 2-1 edge.

Owl goalie Megan Fountaine (Scituate/ Scituate) turned away 5 of Plymouth’s 17 shots on the day.

Westfield State returns to Little East action on Sept., 30 traveling to Bridgewater State for a 7:00 p.m. start.

Gordon wins at Dover in Chase elimination race

>>>>>>>>>>

track — and tons of scoreboard watching.

Kurt Busch, AJ Allmendinger, Greg Biffle and Aric Almirola were eliminated from championship contention. Four more drivers will drop out following the next three-race segment that starts next week at Kansas Speedway.

Gordon joined Chase winners Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano as the three drivers who were guaranteed a berth in the next Chase round with victories.

“I think it makes a statement of what type of team we are,” Gordon said after his fourth win of the season and 92nd overall. “I think that it makes a statement that we’re a team to beat for this championship.”

Kevin Harvick also advanced, along with the Hendrick duo of Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr., and Kyle Busch, Carl Edwards, Matt Kenseth, Ryan Newman and Denny Hamlin.

Hamlin was the lone driver of the bottom four entering Dover to race his way into the top 12. The points will reset for the Kansas, Charlotte and Talladega bracket.

“The tracks just keep getting better for us as the Chase goes on,” Hamlin said. “This is going to be a great comeback story.”

Gordon won for the fifth time at Dover and first since 2001, when he won the last of his four Cup championships.

“I’m excited about our chances, not just these next three, but all the way to Homestead,” Gordon said.

Some things of note at the Dover race: THAT’S GOT TO BE KAHNE! With crew chief Kenny Francis steadying the course after rough pit stops on the No. 5, Kahne survived a scramble that saw him nudge out Allmendinger for the final spot.

“I never really got nervous at all and I just raced real hard the whole time,” Kahne said.

“Kenny started telling me we were tied for 12th and this was with 30 to go. Then he would tell me we were one point in and then maybe two points in, and then he wasn’t

Jeff Gordon does a burnout after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup series auto race, Sunday, Sept. 28, 2014, at Dover International Speedway in Dover, Del. (AP Photo/Nick Wass) positive. Then I started getting a little bit worried, so it was intense inside the car.”

DOVER AND OUT: Allmendinger fell two points shy of the cutoff. Busch was six off, Biffle seven and Almirola 18.

UNDERDOGS SLEEP: Allmendinger and Almirola were the underdogs of the Chase, the two drivers nobody thought could win the championship.

Almirola made the Chase by winning the rain-shortened July race at Daytona, where he gave Hall of Famer Richard Petty his first win in 15 years. Allmendinger used a gritty drive on the road course at Watkins Glen to score his first Cup win and put tiny JTG/ Daugherty Racing into the Chase.

“It just didn’t work out for us. I hate it,” Almirola said. “We picked a bad day to run the way we did and we can’t blame anybody but ourselves. My car didn’t have any grip.

You can’t go fast without grip.”

HARVICK SLUMPS: Harvick appeared to have the car to beat and led a whopping 223 laps from his seventh pole of the season until he suffered tire woes and finished 13th.

“We can beat every car on the race track.

We just need some good luck,” Harvick said.

“If we get some luck, we’ll win races and have a shot at the championship.”

START OVER: Logano’s win at New Hampshire? Won’t help him moving forward because of the new format. He’s in the same boat as 11 other drivers.

“As consistent as we’ve been and as good as we’ve been running I hate to see it reset,” he said. “You’re like, ‘Alright, this is three good finishes, a win in there, this feels good,’ but now we’re all tied again so it’s like that’s all out the window. It’s nice we’re able to go to the next round, but after that it’s over and you’ve got to start over and go again.”

By DAN GELSTON AP Sports Writer DOVER, Del. (AP) — At 43, Jeff Gordon entered the season answering questions about retirement.

After wins at Kansas, Indianapolis, Michigan and Dover for his first four-win season since he had six in 2007, the fourtime NASCAR champion is answering questions about winning a fifth and hitting the 100-victory mark.

“I don’t think we’re going to get to 100 this year,” Gordon said, “but I hope we get past 93. That would be pretty awesome to get a couple more.”

Just enough to guarantee him a spot in the winner-takes-all championship race.

Gordon doused Team Penske’s hot streak with a champagne bath in Victory Lane, securing an emphatic automatic spot in the next round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

But Gordon’s entry in the field of 12 was all but guaranteed even before he dominated the closing laps Sunday at Dover International Speedway. What wasn’t so sure was that Hendrick Motorsports teammate Kasey Kahne was coming along for the ride.

Kahne survived a bumpy 400 miles, falling four laps back before rallying for a 20thplace finish to nab the 12th and final spot in the field.

“Kasey made it a pretty long day,” owner Rick Hendrick said. “We were watching the monitor at the end of the race hoping that we didn’t have a caution and Jeff could win it and Kasey could get in. I didn’t know exactly how close it was going to be until I watched that monitor.”

NASCAR tried to manufacture drama in its 10-race Chase format with a revamped formula for crowning a champion this season. Under NASCAR’s elimination format, four drivers will be knocked out after every third race. Dover marked the third race.

That meant plenty of nerves all around the

NFL ROUNDUP

NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE

49ers stop Eagles late 49ers 26, Eagles 21 SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Frank Gore caught a career-best 55-yard touchdown and ran for 119 yards in his first 100-yard game this year, leading the San Francisco 49ers past Philadelphia 26-21 on Sunday to hand the Eagles their first loss.

The 49ers delivered a late goal-line stand as they avoided their first three-game losing streak under fourth-year coach Jim Harbaugh, containing the league’s top passer in Nick Foles. He threw two incomplete passes from the 1 in the waning moments.

On a day the 49ers (2-2) gave up big plays on special teams, Gore came through. Colin Kaepernick also threw a touchdown pass to Stevie Johnson and Phil Dawson kicked four field goals.

Darren Sproles had a career-best 82-yard punt return for a touchdown, Malcolm Jenkins ran an interception 53 yards for a score for the Eagles (3-1). Brad Smith recovered a blocked punt for a TD. Buccaneers 27, Steelers 24 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Mike Glennon hit a diving Vincent Jackson for a 5-yard touchdown with 7 seconds remaining to lift Tampa Bay to a stunning win.

The Buccaneers (1-3) lost to Atlanta by six touchdowns a week ago but bounced back.

Glennon passed for 302 yards in his first start of the season, including a 41-yard catch-andrun by Louis Murphy that set up Jackson’s score.

Ben Roethlisberger passed for 314 yards and three touchdowns, but Pittsburgh (2-2) couldn’t protect a seven-point lead in the fourth quarter.

Antonio Brown caught seven passes for 131 yards and two scores, and Heath Miller added a career-high nine grabs.

The Steelers committed 13 penalties for 125 yards.

Ravens 38, Panthers 10 BALTIMORE (AP) — Steve Smith punished his former team with seven catches for 139 yards and two touchdowns. Smith spent 13 seasons with Carolina before he was released in a cost-cutting move during the offseason.

The 35-year-old receiver showed the Panthers he can still make the big play, scoring twice in the second quarter to help put Baltimore (3-1) in front 21-7 at halftime.

The first touchdown came when Smith grabbed a pass that deflected off the right hand of teammate Owen Daniels. He caught the ball in stride and took it into the end zone to complete a 61-yard play.

Smith also scored from 21 yards with a diving reception.

Joe Flacco went 22 of 31 for 327 yards and three touchdowns, the other a 24-yarder to Torrey Smith.

Carolina (2-2) has lost two straight, both in lopsided fashion against AFC North foes.

Packers 38, Bears 17 CHICAGO (AP) — Aaron Rodgers threw for 302 yards and four touchdowns, and the Packers shook off one of their worst offensive performances in years.

The Packers (2-2) scored on their first six possessions to build a 38-17 lead. They racked up 358 yards after being held to 223, their lowest total since 2008, a week earlier in a 19-7 loss at Detroit.

They intercepted Jay Cutler twice in the third quarter to pull away from the Bears (2-2). That gave Green Bay five straight wins at Soldier Field, including the NFC title game four years ago and a playoffs-or-bust finale for both teams last season.

Chargers 33, Jaguars 14 SAN DIEGO (AP) — Philip Rivers threw for 377 yards and three touchdowns, two to Eddie Royal.

Royal had scoring catches of 47 and 43 yards, his second straight two-touchdown game. The Chargers (3-1) extended their win-

ning streak to three.

Passing because the Chargers’ running game is nonexistent due to injuries to Ryan Mathews and Danny Woodhead, Rivers had his second three-touchdown game of the season. He went 29 of 39.

Royal had five catches for 105 yards. Keenan Allen had 10 for 135, both career highs, and Malcom Floyd had a 24-yard touchdown catch.

Rookie Blake Bortles made his first start for the Jaguars (0-4), threw one touchdown pass, was intercepted twice and twice had Jacksonville in the lead in the first half.

Vikings 41, Falcons 28 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Teddy Bridgewater passed for 317 yards and a key 2-point conversion before leaving with an ankle injury. The rookie was 19 for 30 with no turnovers and ran five times for 27 yards and a score in his first career start, but his last carry was costly. His left foot rolled underneath him as he was sandwiched by two tacklers at the 1-yard line.

Matt Asiata powered his way in on the next play for his third touchdown, and Bridgewater stayed in to zip a crisp pass to Rhett Ellison to push the lead to 35-28.

As Bridgewater was taken away on a cart for X-rays, Christian Ponder took over at quarterback for the Vikings (2-1).

The Falcons (2-2) lost three starting offensive linemen to injuries and wound up sticking tight end Levine Toilolo at right tackle in the fourth quarter.

Texans 23, Bills 17 HOUSTON (AP) — J.J. Watt had another highlight-reel play to help the Texans overcome a tough day offensively. Houston (3-1) was down by three in the third quarter and Ryan Fitzpatrick had just thrown a second interception when the 6-foot-5, 289-pound Watt returned an interception 80 yards to put the Texans up 14-10.

The defensive end caught a touchdown pass in Week 2, giving him more TDs this year than Arian Foster and Andre Johnson combined.

Under heavy pressure all afternoon, EJ Manuel finished with 225 yards passing with two touchdowns and two interceptions for the Bills (2-2). Buffalo was driving late when Darryl Morris picked him off at the Houston 15 to secure the victory.

Lions 24, Jets 17 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Matthew Stafford threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score as the Lions overcame Calvin Johnson being limited by an ankle injury.

Jeremy Ross and Eric Ebron caught scoring passes for the Lions, who are 3-1 for the second straight season. Stafford finished 24 of 34 for 293 yards.

Johnson, who was in and out of the game, was clearly impeded by his injured ankle. He had just two catches for 12 yards. Golden Tate had a big game, catching eight passes for 116 yards.

A struggling Geno Smith had two more turnovers as chants of “We Want Vick!” echoed throughout MetLife Stadium at times. The Jets, who made it close on Chris Johnson’s 35-yard run with 6:58 left, fell to 1-3 for the first time in Rex Ryan’s six seasons as coach.

Dolphins 38, Raiders 14 LONDON (AP) — Ryan Tannehill threw for 278 yards and two touchdowns in the latest international game. Tannehill, in the middle of a storm all week because his coach declined to confirm him as the starter, took advantage of a depleted Oakland defense to snap a two-game losing streak for the Dolphins (2-2).

The Raiders (0-4) scored on their opening drive but struggled after that. And starting quarterback Derek Carr was injured in the third quarter, replaced by third-stringer Matt McGloin.

Tannehill threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Mike Wallace and an 18-yarder to Dion Sims.

Colts 41, Titans 17 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Andrew Luck threw four touchdown passes and Reggie Wayne scored for the first time this season.

Indy (2-2) extended its league-leading streak of consecutive wins over division foes to nine.

Luck was 29 of 41 for a season-best 393 yards. Wayne had seven catches for a seasonbest 119 yards and scored on a spectacular spinning 28-yard catch.

Tennessee (1-3) has lost three straight since an impressive season-opening win over Kansas City, and this one wasn’t even close.

Indy led 14-0 after one and made it 20-3 with two Adam Vinatieri field goals. Tennessee

closed to 20-10 at halftime, but Luck’s two third-quarter TD passes made it 34-10 and the Titans never challenged again.

Jeter has RBI single in last at-bat

By JIMMY GOLEN AP Sports Writer BOSTON (AP) — Red Sox Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski has seen the rivalry with the Yankees at the low points, at least from the Boston side: He was the left fielder who watched Bucky Dent’s popup settle into the net above the Green Monster in a onegame playoff to settle the 1978 AL East title.

Yet there was the man known around Fenway Park as “Captain Carl” helping his former ballclub and its fans pay homage to Derek Jeter — a Yankee! — before the final game of his career.

“Such big rivals; so much history between the teams. But you would have thought that it was one team, in a sense, today,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said on Sunday after the Red Sox gave Jeter the last in a season of sendoffs. “I don’t know how many players can do that in any sport. But I think it shows you the respect he has, even against your toughest rival.”

Three days after an emotional farewell in New York, pinstripewearing fans filled Fenway Park for Jeter’s finale, chanting for him and the visiting Yankees and standing for each of his at-bats.

Jeter delivered his final hit — No. 3,465 of his career, sixth alltime — as part of a four-run third inning, then left for a pinch runner and bid baseball adieu.

Jeter’s departure in the Yankees’ 9-5 win gave some importance to an otherwise insignificant game between the longtime AL East rivals, who missed the playoffs together for the first time in 20 years. The last-place Red Sox — the defending World Series champions — are the first team in baseball history to go from worst to first and back to last in three consecutive seasons.

The Yankees finished in second place, 12 games behind the division-winning Baltimore Orioles and too far back in the wildcard standings to make the weekend series meaningful.

Instead, it was a day devoted to Jeter.

The sun-soaked season finale began with a 30-minute ceremony in which Jeter was serenaded with “Respect” and presented with some local baubles: second base emblazoned with his No. 2, a pair of Yankees-themed boots and a check for $22,222.22 to his Turn 2 Foundation. Then came Yastrzemski with captains from the other local teams: Bruins Hall of Famer Bobby Orr, the Patriots’ Troy Brown, and former Celtics star Paul Pierce — now with the Washington Wizards — followed by the entire 2014 Red Sox team.

“This is a place where we’ve been an enemy for a long, long time,” Jeter said. “For them to flip the switch this last time, coming here made me feel extremely proud.”

Annie’s Mailbox

By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

Unhappy Dear Annie: I recently married a man who has never been married before, although he lived with a woman for 15 years.

They never had children, and “Vic” cheated on her for years. He paid for everything, and she had a free ride. He essentially paid her off to leave.

I have three grown children from a previous marriage. After our wedding two months ago, we planned on moving into my house until I can sell it. (Part of my divorce agreement is to split the proceeds of a sale when our youngest child turns 18.) Vic’s house is in a rather scary neighborhood. It has a structural defect and won’t sell for what he owes the bank. I arranged for reliable renters, but four days before they were to move in, Vic backed out of the deal. He said he needed more time and didn’t want to resent me for making him move and then move again once my house sells.

Vic promised to move out of his place on August 1, but didn’t, so I’ve been living there in order to be with him. We both agreed to get a new place when my house sells, and he promised this arrangement would be temporary. I really hate his rundown neighborhood, and worse, his ex lives two blocks away.

When we are together, he treats me very well, but I worry that he’ll never move out of his place. Could he have terminal bachelor disease? I am fantasizing about selling my place, taking the check and driving to Vegas to open my own business. I love Vic, but I didn’t bargain to live the rest of my life in this lousy neighborhood. -- Unhappy in Rhode Island Dear Unhappy: Set a time limit on staying at Vic’s place -perhaps three months after your house is sold. But don’t wait until the sale to start looking at other neighborhoods -- that way Vic can see the benefits of a nicer home in a better area. Help him pack up his stuff so that his house appears less comforting and more transitional. A new marriage and a new home can be traumatizing for some people, and you have to give Vic time to adjust.

Dear Annie: I am the woman who wrote the letter signed “Fluffy’s Competition,” about my husband’s fondness for his cat.

You printed several responses from readers, one of whom said the cat was there first and another who thought it was perfectly OK for my husband to drop me at the hospital for a seven-hour surgery while he spent the day with Fluffy at the vet.

I didn’t mention that the day I had my surgery, there were complications and I ended up in intensive care. My daughter couldn’t reach my husband because he wouldn’t return her phone calls. He didn’t show up at the hospital for two days.

Aside from my severe allergies (for which I take medication), Fluffy currently has body mites, and my husband refuses to get her treated because vets are “too expensive.” I agree with you that his priorities are screwed up. -- Still Fluffy’s Competition Dear Still: Whatever reservations we had about your husband are gone now that we know he didn’t turn up at the hospital until two days after your surgery. Is there a reason you cannot pay for Fluffy’s mite treatment yourself? It seems worth it.

But only you can decide whether you love your husband enough to play second fiddle.

Dear Annie: This is for “Cornered in New York,” whose boss makes them eat lunch together.

The New York State Department of Labor has clear guidelines about work hours, including breaks for meals. If the employees must participate in a joint lunch as a team-building exercise, then they are not being given the required break for lunch that the law requires. She should contact the state Department of Labor (anonymously) and request that they investigate. -- A. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE Athletes Should Be Reflective Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, about athletic clothing: “My biggest concern is the number of athletes out on the roads at sunset wearing their black shorts and shirts. I do not think they realize how nearly invisible they are to drivers. Bike riders, please brighten up your red rear lights and your front light. Walkers and runners, lightcolored clothing would be a big help, along with reflectors.” -- L.B. in Coastal Florida My oh my! This is a major safety problem, and one that can be very dangerous for all parties! Anyone who jogs or walks, especially at dusk or nighttime, should be visible -- light-colored clothes, safety tape, even a small flashlight, if necessary.

It’s awfully dark where I live, and many times I have come upon someone walking and thought, “I almost did not see you!”

-- Heloise FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Hints to prevent a dryer fire: * Be sure to clean the lint trap every time! * Make sure the vent hose isn’t clogged. * Don’t plug a dryer into a regular outlet. * Make sure the lint trap is securely in place. * Never leave the dryer running when gone.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You’ll draw inspiration from others’ ideas. You might not agree with someone, nor might he or she with you, so detach in order to keep the peace. Try to consider what this person really means to you. Tonight: Accept a caring gesture for exactly what it is.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Relate directly to an individual who has a way of affecting you deeply.

You two are very different, and the results of you avoiding certain matters will not be pleasant. Leave nothing to serendipity. Tonight: Buy a favorite dessert on the way home.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Others seem to make a big splash wherever they are. You could feel somewhat intimidated by them. Step back and note the good ideas being presented. Know that you still will be able to proceed in your chosen direction.

Tonight: A friend could be full of surprises!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Remain at the helm of the ship, even if you feel distracted. An older person might be more unpredictable than you have ever noticed before.

Refuse to stand on ceremony; simply smile and move on. Eye a purchase for your home carefully. Tonight: As you like it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might want to add more zest to your day. Others probably will thank you for your smile. You’ll hear some news or see a situation that could shock you. Given some time, you will understand the dynamics better. Tonight: Ever playful.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You could be more in your own head than you realize. As a result, others might find it difficult to communicate with you. Take some time to realize who you are angry with or what is upsetting you. Try to get that situation settled first.

Tonight: Happy at home.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might need to screen calls and readjust your schedule. On the other hand, you could decide to stay on course. If you do, expect a snag or two along the way. Someone else will understand where you are coming from only after you explain your response. Tonight: Out late.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Be aware of the costs of proceeding as you have been. You could be very tired and withdrawn. Know when to say “enough,” as it will help you to avoid a hassle. If you can prevent it now, you will be much happier as a result.

Tonight: Balance your checkbook first.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH What seems clear to you might be obscure to someone else. You are direct and forceful, and it would not be surprising if you were to lose your temper. A friend will come to the rescue, but you might find it difficult to take back words already spoken. Tonight: All smiles.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You might want to step back and consider your options. Even if you have a busy schedule, you’ll need some thinking time. Someone you have to answer to could be very caring yet usually difficult. Interact with those you can count on. Tonight: Make it a personal night.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH A friend will demonstrate an enormous amount of caring. A discussion will point you in a new direction.

Others seem to be more than willing to do whatever you want. You always appreciate your friends, but make the extra effort to show it now. Tonight: Where the gang is.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Crosswords

HHHH Honor a change of pace. You will want to follow through on a project and get it done. You will not allow distraction to go on for too long; however, you could have a lot of requests from people who would like some extra time with you.

Tonight: A must appearance.

Brees, Saints slipping with loss to Cowboys City of Westfield Office of Community Development

By STEPHEN HAWKINS AP Sports Writer ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints provided another indication of just how things are going in the wrong direction this season.

They can’t even get a boost playing the Dallas Cowboys.

A year after piling up an NFL-record 40 first downs and a team-record 625 total yards against the Cowboys at home, New Orleans trailed by 28 points and was without a touchdown into the fourth quarter Sunday night in a 38-17 loss at Dallas.

Brees wound up throwing for a season-high 340 yards on 32-of-44 passing, but his two touchdown passes came on consecutive drives in the fourth quarter after things were already well out of hand for the Saints (1-3).

All three of the Saints’ losses have been on
