Southwick residents walk for Jimmy Fund

By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer BOSTON – On Sunday, Sept. 21, the Rollins family of Southwick will join more than 8,500 people in the Boston Marathon® Jimmy Fund Walk.

Walkers are expected to raise more than $7.5 million for the Jimmy Fund for lifesaving adult and pediatric patient care and cancer research at DanaFarber Cancer Institute. This year’s event will bring the Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk’s 26-year fundraising total to more than $100 million.

The Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk raises the most money of any single-day walk in the nation.

Michael Rollins said his family began walking in 2011 because his daughter works for the DanaFarber Cancer Institute. Even though they started walking to support her work, they continue to walk and raise money because of the people they help.

“Everybody’s family has someone who has had cancer,” said Rollins, citing his brother-in-law and his aunt as two examples of people in his family who have battled the disease.

Rollins said the walk offers two options to its participants – a half-marathon 13.5-mile walk and a five-mile walk.

“I do the five-mile because I’ve had two strokes,” said Rollins.

Despite his own physical limitations, Rollins said he will continue to raise funds and walk because of the children who benefit from the fundraiser.

“Along the route they have pictures of kids, so you know who you’re walking for,” he said.

The funds raised by walkers in the one-day fundraising event directly benefit New England residents, as well as patients across the globe affected by all types of cancer. Doctors and scientists worldwide use treatment and research advances made at DanaFarber Cancer Institute to care for their patients and to conduct research.

Walkers can choose from four routes along the historic course: Hopkinton 26.2-mile, rolling start: 5:30 to 7:30 a.m.; Wellesley High School 13.1-mile, rolling start: 8:30 to 10:30 a.m.; Boston College 5-mile, rolling start: 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.; and DanaFarber Cancer Institute 3-mile: 1:30 p.m., which will include many patients and their families.

Walkers starting from Dana-Farber are escorted by members of the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association. The Jimmy Fund has been the official See Jimmy Fund, Page 7

104th Fighter Wing honors fallen hero

By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The bagpipes pierced the air at Barnes Air National Guard Base yesterday, as guardsmen, family, and local, state and federal dignitaries paid their respects to Lt. Col. Morris “Moose” Fontenot, Jr. Fontenot, who died last week when his F-15C Eagle fighter jet crashed near Deerfield Valley, Virginia, had served as wing inspector general for the Air National Guard 104th Fighter Wing and was remembered by those who knew him best during his short tenure in Westfield.

Fontenot’s wife Kara and daughters Natalie and Nicole were present, along with his extended family. Fontenot’s daughters were presented with their father’s Award of Meritorious Service.

Fontenot served as a squadron commander at multiple locations and served active duty assignments in Washington D.C., Japan, Idaho, Florida, Alaska and several deployments to the Middle East before he joined the Massachusetts Air National Guard in February 2014.

“This has been the most difficult week of my Air Force career, losing a friend and brother-in-arms to such a tragedy affects me to the core,” said Col. James Keefe,

who remembered Fontenot as an officer whose ‘future was limitless.’ “In his own words taken from his application for an inspector job, ‘My goal is to stay in the military as long as I can and keep contributing in any way that I can.’”

“He was a remarkable officer with unlimited potential,” remarked Keefe, who listed Fontenot’s awards and accolades, which included the Meritorious Service Medal, Air Medal, Aerial Achievement Medal, Air Force Commendation Medal, Air Force Achievement Medal, and Combat Readiness Medal.

“His coworkers will tell you his demonstration of loyalty, devotion to duty and true patriotism were unlike any other.” said Keefe, who also spoke of Fontenot’s tenure as an Air Force legislative liaison and congressional fellow for former Congressman Neil Abercrombie of Hawaii, where he made “countless contributions to the greater good of the Air Force and this nation.”

Described by Lt. Col. Jeff Blake as a real “fighter pilot’s fighter pilot”, Fontenot registered 2,363 hours in flight, including 240 hours of combat during his career, which began following his high school graduation in 1992, when he was selected to attend the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, graduating

in 1996.

“Moose’s career is full of accomplishments and dedication to his family and fellow fighter pilots,” said Blake.

“Leadership like Lt. Col. Fontenot’s is not taught – his leadership is in the fiber of a man.”

Brig. Gen. Robert Brooks stated that while he didn’t know Lt. Col. Fontenot personally, after talking to his many friends and fellow pilots, Fontenot’s memory brought to mind a bible verse, Proverbs 25:17.

“As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another,” Brooks quoted. “I’m sure every pilot in the 104th Fighter Wing and many of you in the audience felt sharpened by Moose and just as you were sharpened by him in his life, I have been sharpened by him in his death.”

Brooks said it was evident to him that Moose made an impact in a short amount of time.

“In a day when people want something for nothing, it is crystal clear that Moose was a great American and wanted nothing despite giving his all,” said Brooks. “I suspect Moose would challenge you and tell all of you to get back on the horse, get back See Fallen Hero, Page 7

Councilor seeks to hire scriveners

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A member of the City Council sent a motion to committee to assess the cost of hiring part-time scribes to record and publish the minutes of meetings for council committees, as well as other boards and commissions which currently do not have staff performing that function.

At-large Councilor David A. Flaherty argued Thursday that minutes of meetings,

required under the state’s open meeting law, are chronically insufficient and fail to meet the standard required.

“There is a gap in meeting the requirements of the open meeting law,” Flaherty said, “A lot of detail is missing. There may be other options.”

“I recognize the challenge of the cost of hiring scribes to take and publish minutes, but the open meeting law requires the publication of minutes,” Flaherty said. “Often the minutes are the agenda with a list of

who was present and the outcome of votes, but no comments of the discussion of issues.”

Ward 4 Councilor Mary O’Connell said that she frequently requests minutes of various meetings from the City Clerk while investigating issues before the City Council. An example of that was a vote taken by the Community Preservation Committee on an issue now in City Council See Scriveners, Page 3

Baby squirrels rescued from rain gutter

By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Three baby squirrels survived their encounter with a team of roofers and, although they were displaced, appear to have been reunited with their mother.

The city’s animal control officer, Kerri Francis, reported Wednesday that she had

been contacted by a member of a roofing crew working to replace a roof on Pearl Street and the man told her that the crew had discovered a nest with three baby squirrels in a rain gutter.

Francis said that the workers put the babies, and the mulch they were nesting in, into a bucket, all the while listening to the

mother squirrel who was “going crazy.”

The ACO said that when she arrived she put the babies into a hollow at the base of a nearby oak tree and covered them with the nesting mulch.

When the crew left for the day, Francis See Baby Squirrels, Page 3

Asteroid zooms within 25,000 miles of Earth CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A newly discovered asteroid buzzed Earth yesterday.

At closest approach Sunday, the 60-foot rock passed a safe 25,000 miles over New Zealand. That’s about one-tenth the distance between here and the moon. It’s also beyond the orbit of our highest communication and weather satellites.

NASA says this latest near-Earth asteroid — called 20214 RC (R-C) — posed no threat to either the home planet or orbiting spacecraft. A space rock of about the same size blasted through the atmosphere over Russia’s Ural Mountains in 2013, causing considerable damage.

Astronomers in Arizona detected 2014 RC the night of Aug. 31.

Stargazers needed telescopes to see Sunday’s flyby. If you miss it, don’t worry. It will be back in the neighborhood again one day.

Annual Employee Meeting at Westfield Gas and Electric

Committee. O’Connell said she has yet to see a record of that meeting and the outcome of the vote.

“Sadly, minutes of committees are missing,” O’Connell said.

“Something has to be done to professionalize the records of the council’s committees and other boards.”

At-large Councilor Cindy Harris said she will oppose the concept of creating another layer of clerical staff.

“I’m totally against another level of bureaucracy,” Harris said.

Currently the chairman of those committees and boards is responsible for submitting the minutes of meetings although another member of that board or commission takes notes used to generate the minutes.

Ward 3 Councilor Brian Hoose agreed with Flaherty. Hoose said it is difficult to perform the duties of chairman to run the meeting, participate in discussion and still take notes sufficient to record the minutes.

“Trying to conduct the meeting and keep a record is impossible,” Hoose said.

At-large Councilor Ralph Figy said generating the minutes of a meeting is the responsibility of the chairman.

“Passing it off is not part of our responsibility as chairman,” Figy said.

O’Connell made the motion to send the issue to the Long Range Financial Overview Committee to assess the cost and practically of the proposed part time clerical staff to records meeting. That motion was approved by a 9-3 vote.

WESTFIELD — The Westfield Gas and Electric will hold its annual employee meeting on the morning of Thursday, September 11, 2014.

Please note that the 100 Elm Street Business Office will open at 10am that day.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR To the Editor The generally accepted definition of a District Attorney is “Chief Prosecuting Attorney for a District or County”.

Although this is a well understood definition, the job and responsibilities entail far more than the definition implies. To be a prosecuting attorney one must have trial skills, negotiation skills, knowledge of the law and an ability to communicate with others. To be a District Attorney one has to have all of the above skills along with the ability to lead and unite employees, law enforcement officers, politicians, community members, and court personnel. It requires a dedication and energy that helps the holder of the office sustain countless work hours being available to the public and those in law enforcement. It is imperative that a District Attorney constantly strive to improve and help those around him improve as it is well established that an unselfish leader will attract hard working, qualified employees.

As a lifelong Springfield resident, raised and educated here in Hampden County, I am committed to making Western Massachusetts the safe haven I knew it to be growing up. I want this for my family, for your family and for future families.

Continual training for those working in my office will be a priority. As science and technology evolves so will methods of prosecution in my administration. Community involvement will be a major focus in my plan to effectuate crime prevention. My current relationships with community leaders and partners will allow me to begin working toward this goal immediately. Increased cooperation and communication with the courts, police and public is a pledge I’ve made throughout this campaign. My abilities to bring these groups together is an overwhelming reason so many who work in those arenas support and believe in my candidacy.

I’ve worked hard as a youth diversion officer. I’ve worked hard as a prosecutor. I worked hard as a candidate. I will continue to work hard as your District Attorney. I have the passion, the energy and commitment to make our community safer. Please vote on Tuesday, September 9th for Anthony Gulluni for DA. Anthony Gulluni Candidate Hampden County District Attorney

Foxx takes a futurist turn at the DOT

By Kevin Robillard Politico.com Politicians are often accused of failing to look past the next election. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx wants to look past the next fifteen.

Foxx is leading a DOT effort to create a 30-year outlook for the state of transportation in the U.S., an ambitious effort he hopes will shift the country out of its stubborn, single-track focus on the short-term needs of keeping solvent the Highway Trust Fund. Instead, he wants to take a broader look at how the country plans on moving an additional 100 million people by 2050 — and all the goods those Americans will buy.

In a sit-down interview with Politico on Friday, Foxx was blunt.

“We’re having the wrong conversation about transportation in this country,” he said. “There are a host of factors that are colliding, that are changing the ground underneath us. But yet our policies, not to mention our funding, aren’t keeping up. I think it’s very important for us to have a new reset.”

Foxx ticked off those factors: technological innovation, a population moving into denser metro areas and demographic shifts.

“Lots of forces are converging to create a very disruptive set of conditions,” he said. “We need to lay out what we think policymakers are going to be facing over the next 30 years.

Because right now we’re having conversations about transportation funding that are really disconnected from the conversations about policy we need to be having.”

Foxx is frustrated with the narrow focus on finding money for the trust fund — which Congress patched yet again before leaving for the August recess — and he expressed the need to focus more on how federal transportation dollars are spent.

“My hope is that people will take a look at this, and some of the unexamined assumptions we’ve had about transportation in the last couple of decades will start to be examined, and policymakers hopefully will understand we can’t just concern ourselves with the funding side of the equation, that how that funding is actually deployed is a key piece of how we move forward,” he said.

If Congress had succeeded in getting the Highway Trust Fund stabilized, many people in Washington would have considered that as accomplishing the mission, he said. “And that’s just not the case.”

Foxx wants to reveal a report by the end of the year and promises a “robust” outreach effort before then. He will host five webinars to gather feedback from transportation groups and government bodies, and DOT staff will also regularly solicit feedback. While he emphasized the plan wouldn’t promote specific policy ideas, he did drop a few hints about the areas DOT could focus on.

Since the 1950s, the nation’s federal surface transportation program hasn’t changed much: A fuel tax feeds money into the federal Highway Trust Fund, which is used to build highways See DOT Outlook, Page 7

Hill aims to avoid shutdown drama

By Jake Sherman and Manu Raju Politico.com Congressional leaders from both parties are gearing up to pass a bill to avert a government shutdown with as little drama as possible.

With Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) facing a tough race, Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) eager to gain more than a handful of seats in the House and early voting starting later this month in states represented by endangered Senate Democrats, virtually everyone is ready to get back home — quickly.

It’s a rare moment of unity in a historically divided and unproductive Congress.

“I think we’re going to be out of there on Sept. 23 for sure because they need to be out,” McConnell said in a recent interview. “I think the speaker would like to leave early as well. I think it’s finally something we can agree on on a bipartisan basis.”

“Difficult to imagine,” one senior Senate Democratic aide said when asked about the likelihood of Congress staying past Sept. 23.

The House would like to be out even earlier: Representatives see Sept. 19 as their last day in session until Election Day. That doesn’t mean there won’t be potential pitfalls.

The crisis in Iraq is forcing President Barack Obama to detail his strategy there, as he’ll do in a private meeting with Hill leaders on Tuesday and in an address to the nation Wednesday. Some Republicans want to take aggressive action to clamp down on the White House’s plan to act on immigration after the midterms. And the political climate will be as bitter as ever.

Senate Democrats are preparing to load up the calendar with politically charged bills, kicking off election season with a constitutional amendment proposed by Sen. Tom Udall (D-N.M.) to allow Congress and the states to more tightly regulate how campaigns are financed. Once that bill meets a certain death in the Senate, Democrats are looking at reviving other proposals — such as one to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour, another to let people more easily refinance their student loans and another to close the wage gap between men and women.

Once they fail, Democrats will accuse the GOP of blocking bills to help women and the middle class — key constituencies that could help determine which party controls the Senate. But the GOP will say Senate Democrats are playing politics by teeing up bills that would do little to fix the country’s problems, even as House Republicans roll out their own messaging bills.

House Republicans will spend the month focusing almost exclusively on branding Senate Democrats as obstructionists.

The House is attempting to pass two large bills, one containing a number of so-called jobs measures, the other one filled with energy proposals. Neither of them will even get a vote in the Senate — but that’s the point.

As the political theater takes shape, leaders in both parties are quietly laying the groundwork to get their must-pass business done. The House’s government funding bill, which would

extend funding until Dec. 11, sources say, will be ready for public viewing by Tuesday. There’s serious talk about loading up the government-funding bills with multiple items, including an extension of an Internet tax moratorium and a renewal of the Export-Import Bank, an entity reviled by conservatives but strongly backed by the business community.

Inclusion of the Ex-Im Bank could produce a revolt among conservatives, forcing Boehner to rely on House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to deliver Democratic votes to pass the spending bill. The bank, which provides loans and insurance to foreign companies purchasing U.S. products, is considered “corporate welfare” in the eyes of some conservatives.

“We’ve got a split conference on that issue,” said McConnell, who said he’d vote against extending the Ex-Im Bank charter.

There are other land mines as well. With the White House engaged in an escalating military conflict with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, Republicans — and some Democrats — are pushing the administration to fully lay out a strategy.

If the White House tells Congress it needs either an authorization for a larger military presence or more cash, lawmakers will be forced to reengage on a hugely contentious issue in the heat of an election year. Still, there’s no indication the White House will ask Congress to formally bless any proposal, given the likelihood that such a move could very well backfire.

How aggressively Republicans move to block any future action by the White House to stem deportations also remains an open question. Any effort to add restrictions to spending bills to block the president’s immigration move could produce a government shutdown fight, top officials in both parties say.

But this year, a shutdown over immigration is not a clear-cut political winner for Democrats, top officials privately concede.

“It’s a question of surviving one day to the next at this point — and having nothing upset the balance,” the Democratic aide said.

New fight erupts over N.E. natural gas plan

By STEPHEN SINGER Associated Press HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A new fight has emerged over efforts to shift New England from oil and coal to lower cost natural gas.

Plans by New England’s governors and energy officials to expand natural gas in the six states have drawn fights in the past year among energy companies, environmentalists and local and state officials. Now, a lawyer who represents a pipeline company, manufacturers and two organized labor groups is accusing environmental advocates of abandoning their early support for cleaner energy and trying to block pipeline projects.

Anthony Buxton, a Portland, Maine, lawyer who represents the Industrial Energy Consumer Group and two labor union organizations, has taken his complaint about the Conservation Law Foundation to Maine utility regulators.

“CLF’s energy hypocrisy in promoting the construction of more than 20 natural gas plants and then preventing them from getting the gas they need is very dangerous,” he said.

The Boston environmental group, which has questioned the transparency of New England’s governors and state energy officials seeking to expand natural gas use, says Buxton is misrepresenting its position.

Greg Cunningham, senior attorney at CLF, said environmentalists urged an expansion of natural gas in the late 1990s and early 2000s as a clean alternative to more common oil- and coal-fired plants.

“We completely stand by that advocacy today,” he said.

The argument now, he said, is not whether power plants will be fired by natural gas but whether ratepayers should subsidize the construction of gas pipelines, Cunningham said. Investors are stepping forward, which should be encouraged, Cunningham said.

CLF has challenged how energy policy is coordinated

by New England’s six governors, saying the state leaders are conducting private negotiations with the energy industry. Environmentalists submitted public records requests demanding more transparency.

The governors late last year announced a plan to expand natural gas use. They asked the region’s grid operator, ISO-New England, for technical help to seek proposals to build transmission equipment and public works to deliver electricity to as many as 3.6 million homes.

They also asked ISO to figure out how to finance the project.

A proposal that would impose federal tariffs on electric ratepayers to finance energy infrastructure projects is on hold. Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick is seeking a delay while his administration analyzes different energy scenarios, including a plan that does not call for building extensive natural gas pipelines.

Buxton says a June 2001 statement published by CLF backing natural-gas-fired power plants demonstrates the environmental group’s support for natural gas. He is asking the Maine Public Utilities Commission to include the statement in its consideration of a new policy See Gas Plan, Page 7

in the Eagle, do it right, and continue to prepare for the next conflict.”

Maj. Gen. Scott Rice spoke of Fontenot’s death as a tragedy, the type that “doesn’t get any easier.”

“I’ve done this several times now in my short command, and we’ve lost some of the warriors in our midst,” he said. “(Being a) fighter pilot is an attitude… a man who is in love with flying, who sees not the cloud but beauty. He is a man who wants to be second-best to no one,” said Rice.

“Moose may be gone, but he will never be forgotten.”

Col. Alex Haldopoulos, commander of operations for the 104th, spoke passionately of his admiration for the strength and courage of the

Fontenot family.

“I know this has not been easy for you today, but your presence at this ceremony means so much to me and the men and women of this Wing,” he said. “I’m sure Moose is looking down on us just a bit humbled by this amazing turnout.”

Haldopoulos looked back to when Fontenot arrived in Westfield, less three years before he would qualify for a full retirement.

It was a move Haldopoulos said sent “shockwaves throughout the active duty world”, for Fontenot had the Air Force “in the palm of his hand”, but decided to give the Air National Guard a shot.

“He was promised very little, hired to fill a government service position as a technician, to lead the

Jimmy Fund

Wing’s new Air Force inspection program,” he said. “We were thrilled for the opportunity to call Moose a Barnestormer. Long live the legend of Lt. Col. Morris ‘Moose’ Fontenet, Jr.” Fontenot’s wife Kara spoke of meeting her husband as fourth class cadets at the Air Force Academy.

She was 17 at the time and being verbally attacked for her poorly shined boots when the 19-year old Fontenot came to her rescue.

“Without hesitation, he rushed to my side, bringing the attack upon himself,” she said. “Once our attackers finally left, he took me into a private room and comforted me and polished my boots for me.”

Fontenot said she knew her husband for 22 years, and had been

married for 18 before his passing.

“I loved him, trusted him and respected him and I will remember him forever,” she said before reflecting on his attitude toward his job.

“He wasn’t a box-checker or a square-filler. He focused on the things that mattered most, and was the first to sacrifice when sacrifice was required.”

Kara Fontenot thanked the 104th Fighter Wing for honoring her husband and embracing her family. She then spoke directly to her teen-aged daughters, reminding them that “Daddy” would always be with them.

“You were more important to him than anything else, including his Air Force career and flying F-15’s,” she said. “He will live on inside of you,

For those who would like to fundraise, but are unable to attend the Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk there is also a Virtual Walker option.

Rollins said anyone who wishes to make a donation through him can visit www.JimmyFundWalk.org and search for his name, or, he said people could become irtual walkers and raise even more.

The Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk is the only event, other than the Boston Marathon®, that is sanctioned by the Boston Athletic Association to use the official marathon name and historic 26.2-mile route. For 26 years, the Boston Athletic Association has supported the Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk.

All walkers agree to raise a minimum of $300 in contributions, said Rollins,except for walkers 12 years old and younger, whose fundraising minimum is $100.

“Last year we raised almost $1,200 and so far I’ve raised $350 and my daughter has raised $500,” said Rollins.

Pacesetters are extraordinary fundraisers who raise $1,500 or more. Pacesetters, the heart and soul of the Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk, receive special benefits and recognition for their commitment to the event. In 2013, there were more than 1,100 pacesetters.

Participants may walk as individuals or as part of a team.

Teams are made up of friends, neighbors, colleagues, and businesses. Many teams walk in honor of someone currently battling cancer or in memory of someone lost to the disease.

In 2013, there were 950 teams.

Walkers enjoy refreshments at 12 refueling stations along the course, as well as a celebration at the Copley Square Finish Line complete with food, music, and a speaking program.

On the evening of Sept. 21, the Prudential Center and The Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge will glow in red and yellow to mark the 26th annual Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk.

Foxx cited freight as an example of where that system might fall short. ”The history of our interstate system has been very state-focused,” he said. “As we look at a future where we’re going to have to double our freight capacity, how do you create a freight system that’s integrated across the country when you have 50

suburbs, Coleman’s plan emphasized the primacy of the automobile.

Since that trend seems to have reversed now, Foxx’s study isn’t likely to reach the same conclusion. But he said the plan shows the value of undertaking the effort.

“The reality about transportation is that it’s future-oriented,” he said. “If we’re planning for what we have, we’re behind the curve.”

It also contains a warning about the occasional futility of making predictions: Coleman’s plan assumed the country would have autonomous vehicles by the year 2000. But Foxx said the possibility of personal drone delivery or ubiquitous selfdriving cars in 30 years shouldn’t deter DOT. “There will no doubt be pieces of this that we will get wrong,” he said. “At the same time, though, the goal here isn’t to be prescriptive. The goal here is to set a context and to frame the choices.”

Fontenot then stated how she’ll remember her husband.

“That he had one goal that remained the same over all the years I knew him – he wanted to make the greatest possible difference in the lives of the greatest possible number of people,” she said. “He knew how to make each person he interacted with feel loved and special. That is his legacy to us.”

Lt. Col. Fontenot will be buried in early October at his alma mater, the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

St. Pierre, Fernandez arrive

By Chris Putz Staff Writer AMHERST – If first impressions mean anything, Westfield sophomore quarterback Austin St. Pierre and first-year head coach Rocco Fernandez should be applauded for a bruising effort in their first meaningful game.

St. Pierre tossed one touchdown and ran for another, and senior halfback Cody Neidig scored two TDs (one rushing, one receiving) to lead the Westfield High School football team to a well-earned 21-14 win over host Amherst Saturday.

“It was a real big win for us because we didn’t want to start out 0-1,” St. Pierre said.

“We wanted to start off 1-0 on the road.”

Although it was only an independent contest, it was the first of three road games to begin the season for Westfield.

The Westfield coaching staff may have drawn up the first few plays of the game, but things didn’t quite go according to plan on the first series. The Bombers turned over the ball deep in their own territory, leading to Amherst’s first score of the game.

Amherst pounced on the ball, and quickly cashed in with a one-yard touchdown run from senior running back Brandon Rivera.

With a young quarterback, a first-year head coach, and new offensive scheme, Westfield could have wilted under the pressure and the sweltering heat. Instead, the Bombers battled back.

Westfield marched down the field with St. Pierre directing the attack by land and air, and Neidig ripping off big chunks of yards on the ground.

The Bombers capped off the drive with a nine-yard touchdown pass from St. Pierre to Westfield receiver John Bucko leaps for the pass during the last 10-seconds of the seconds of Neidig.

Continued from Page 9

through the end zone on fourth and goal from 3 yards away when Neidig ran it up the gut and scored with 5:09 remaining.

Both teams entered halftime tied at 14-all.

The second half was a coming out party for St. Pierre, who directed the game-winning drive and evoked leadership not typically seen in a sophomore QB. St. Pierre engineered a long, time-consuming drive that resulted in a short quarterback plunge with 1:56 left in the third quarter.

Westfield’s defense stood tall on Amherst’s next possession. Defensive ends Marc Blahut and Jake Collins, and defensive linemen Andrew Blahut coverged on the Amherst quarterback for a first-down sack. On the next play, Bombers’ junior outside linebacker Scott Hoiberg intercepted a pass near midfield.

If anyone still had questions about how Westfield’s sophomore quarterback would respond under pressure, they should have been taken aback after one jarring play late in Saturday’s game.

With the Bombers leading by a touchdown, St. Pierre kept the ball on a quarterback keeper and bullrushed a defensive player, sending the Hurricane flying backward five yards off the ball.

Westfield chewed up the rest of the time in the second half with plodding runs, timed passes, and pressured Amherst into coughing

up the ball, either after four downs or with a turnover.

“These guys played all 48 minutes,” coach Fernandez said. “They got it going near the end. We had to make the most of our opportunities … The kids that we’ve got all stepped up. They’re all fighters.”

Fernandez admitted that, despite the win, it was not a crisp effort.

“We were totally sloppy,” he said, alluding to costly penalties, missed blocks, and other blown assignments.

Neidig fumbled the ball early in the game, but Fernandez said that could easily be forgiven after discovering the senior back had either broken or dislocated his finger on the play.

“I had to drag Cody off the field today,” the coach explained, noting the senior back’s desire to play through the injury. “That speaks volumes about his character.”

Neidig had his fingers taped up, went back on the field, and thankfully, for the Bombers, delivered a hard-nosed effort.

Westfield will have a while to let the victory sink in before directing its focus on its next opponent, West Springfield. The Bombers, who have a bye next week, will travel to play the Terriers Friday, September 19. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.

NFL ROUNDUP

Dolphins dominate 2nd half, top Patriots MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Knowshon Moreno rushed for 134 yards and a touchdown, Ryan Tannehill threw for two scores and the Dolphins overpowered New England after halftime.

The Dolphins (1-0) outscored New England 23-0 in the second half.

Tannehill had touchdown throws to Lamar Miller and Mike Wallace as Miami debuted a faster-paced offense. The Dolphins’ defense made four sacks, all in the second half, and recovered two fumbles.

Tom Brady threw a scoring pass to Rob Gronkowski, and Shane Vereen had a TD rushing for New England.

It was New England’s first loss in an opener since 2003, and marks the first time the Patriots (0-1) will not be at least tied for the AFC East lead since Week 3 of 2012.

FALCONS 37, SAINTS 34 ATLANTA (AP) — Matt Bryant kicked a 51-yard field goal on the final play of regulation, then booted a 52-yarder in overtime to give the Atlanta Falcons a 37-34 victory over the New Orleans Saints.

In another thriller between the NFC South rivals Sunday, Matt Ryan threw for a franchise-record 448 yards, leading the Falcons to just their fourth victory over the Saints in the last 17 meetings. This one was particularly sweet for Atlanta (1-0) coming off a miserable 4-12 season, its first losing campaign since 2007.

BILLS 23, BEARS 20, OT CHICAGO (AP) — Fred Jackson set up Dan Carpenter’s field goal in overtime with a 38-yard run to the 1, and the Bills stunned the Bears.

The Bears (0-1) had just punted to open the extra period and Buffalo took over on its 22. The Bills (1-0) got to the Chicago 39 when Jackson turned toward the left side and broke off his big run, pushing safety Chris Conte out of the way twice inside the 10 before being knocked out of bounds at the 1.

Carpenter won it with a 27-yarder.

STEELERS 30, BROWNS 27 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Shaun Suisham drilled a 41-yard field goal as time expired.

The Steelers blew a 24-point halftime lead as the Browns rallied behind quarterback Brian Hoyer, but escaped thanks to some great plays from Ben Roethlisberger and wide receiver Markus Wheaton.

BENGALS 23, RAVENS 16 BALTIMORE (AP) — A.J. Green caught a 77-yard touchdown pass from Andy Dalton, and the Bengals blew a 15-point lead before bouncing back. Green got behind cornerback Chykie Brown, who was pressed into a starting role for the injured Lardarius Webb. The ball popped from Green’s grasp before he gathered it in.

BRONCOS 31, COLTS 24 DENVER (AP) — Peyton Manning threw three touchdown passes to tight end Julius Thomas in the first half. In his second try, Manning beat his old team and joined Brett Favre as the only quarterbacks to beat each of the current 32 NFL fran-

chises.

The Broncos raced to a 24-0 lead thanks to Thomas, then turned to their revamped defense to fend off a furious comeback attempt by Andrew Luck, who was working wonders behind a patchwork offensive line.

Luck found Hakeem Nicks for a 9-yard scoring strike with 3:26 remaining. But Indy’s last drive stalled at midfield when rookie Bradley Roby broke up a fourth-down pass to Reggie Wayne.

EAGLES 34, JAGUARS 17 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Nick Foles threw a 68-yard touchdown pass to Jeremy Maclin in the fourth quarter and the Eagles rallied from a 17-0 second-half deficit.

Chad Henne threw two touchdown passes to rookie Allen Hurns in the first quarter and the Jaguars (0-1) dominated the defending NFC East champion Eagles (1-0) in the first two quarters.

But whatever Chip Kelly said to his players at halftime worked.

The Eagles scored TDs on their first two possessions in the third quarter. Cody Parkey hit a 51-yard field goal on his first career attempt in the fourth quarter to tie it 17-17.

Then Foles made a perfect deep throw to a wide-open Maclin for the longest pass of his career to put the Eagles ahead 24-17.

TEXANS 17, REDSKINS 6 HOUSTON (AP) — Rookie Alfred Blue blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown and J.J. Watt lived up to his massive new contract to help Texans snap a 14-game losing streak.

The Texans led 7-6 after a 76-yard touchdown reception by DeAndre Hopkins in the second quarter. Blue blocked Washington’s punt on the next drive, scooped it up and returned it 5 yards for a touchdown to push the lead to 14-6 in Bill O’Brien’s first game as an NFL head coach.

Watt had a sack, blocked an extra point, recovered a fumble and swatted down a pass in his first game since signing a sixyear, $100 million contract Monday. First overall pick Jadeveon Clowney had a tackle for a loss in the first half before leaving with a knee injury.

Robert Griffin III threw for 267 yards, but Washington was done in by two second-half fumbles in Jay Gruden’s debut as an NFL head coach.

VIKINGS 34, RAMS 6 ST. LOUIS (AP) — Wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson ran for 102 yards on three carries with a 67-yard scoring run off a simple pitchout and the Vikings opened impressively under new coach Mike Zimmer.

The Rams handled Adrian Peterson, limiting the star runner to 75 yards on 21 carries. They had zero luck with Patterson, who had three touchdowns rushing as a rookie.

Rams quarterback Shaun Hill lasted one half as the stand-in starter for Sam Bradford, missing the rest of the game with a thigh injury and leaving untested Austin Davis in charge. Hill’s last pass was intercepted by Josh Robinson with 1:09 to go in the half, setting up Matt Cassel’s 8-yard pass to Greg Jennings

for a 13-0 lead.

TITANS 26, CHIEFS 10 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jake Locker threw for 266 yards and two touchdowns, while Alex Smith was intercepted three times.

Locker picked apart a defense that lost linebacker Derrick Johnson and defensive tackle Mike DeVito to Achilles tendon injuries. Locker was 22 of 33 and found eight targets, including former Chiefs wide receiver Dexter McCluster.

Kendall Wright and Delanie Walker had TD catches for the Titans, and Ryan Succop was perfect on four field-goal attempts against the team that released him last weekend.

Smith was 19 of 35 for 202 yards and a touchdown for a Chiefs offense missing suspended wide receiver Dwayne Bowe and right tackle Donald Stephenson.

JETS 19, RAIDERS 14 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Chris Ivory burst through a few tackle attempts for a 71-yard touchdown run midway through the fourth quarter, and the Jets’ defense clamped down on Oakland rookie quarterback Derek Carr.

With still a one-score game, Ivory rushed up the middle and appeared stopped, but slipped a few would-be tacklers on his way to the end zone. A 2-point conversion failed, but the Jets held on to win their season opener.

Geno Smith threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Chris Johnson as the Jets sent the Raiders to their 14th straight loss in the Eastern time zone.

Carr held his own in the first half, but the Jets pressured him throughout the final two quarters. He finished 20 of 32 for 151 yards and touchdown throws to Rod Streater and James Jones.

PANTHERS 20, BUCCANEERS 14 TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Derek Anderson filled in nicely for injured Cam Newton, throwing for 230 yards and two touchdowns.

Despite rallying with two late TDs, it was an ugly debut for the Bucs (0-1) under coach Lovie Smith. The defense applied little pressure on Anderson, and an offense that was among the worst in the NFL in 2013 showed few signs of improvement until midway through the fourth quarter.

With Newton cheering from the sideline after being held out because of a rib injury suffered in preseason, Anderson completed 24 of 34 passes with no interceptions and one sack. The 10th-year pro tossed threw for TDs of 5 yards to Greg Olsen and 26 yards to rookie Kelvin Benjamin for defending NFC South champion Carolina (1-0).

49ERS 28, COWBOYS 17 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Colin Kaepernick threw two touchdown passes to Vernon Davis, one right after the first of three interceptions of Tony Romo.

The 49ers (1-0) also got a 35-yard fumble return on the second play of the game when Chris Culliver picked up a loose ball stripped from DeMarco Murray. They led 21-3 after the first quarter despite running just four offensive plays.

Coming off a spotty preseason for his offense, Kaepernick was efficient if not prolific, going 16 of 23 for 201 yards without an interception.

Annie’s Mailbox

By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

Concerned Mom Dear Annie: My daughter, “Nina,” suffers from depression.

Recently, I went to Seattle to help Nina and her husband move to Texas. It was our family’s hope that I could get her to come back east with me to get her mental health issues straightened out.

Nina was diagnosed with depression when she was in high school. When she is on adequate amounts of an antidepressant, she is a vibrant, intelligent, caring “normal” person. Lately, it has become obvious to us and also to her friends that she is depressed again. But our son-in-law insists that her depression is situational and will clear up on its own. He says she is running away from her adult responsibilities by taking antidepressants.

We worry that Nina’s depression is not being treated and believe this is emotional abuse. Her husband has threatened that if she stays with us, he will divorce her. We are trying to keep in contact, but Nina’s husband won’t allow her to travel by herself, and he certainly has no interest in spending family holidays with us after that last visit. What can we do? My son thinks we may never see Nina again. -- Concerned Mom Dear Mom: Your son-in-law has it exactly backward. Those who commit to an effective program of antidepressants are trying very hard to take “adult responsibility” for their behavior. By encouraging Nina to disregard what is in her best interests, he is putting her life at risk. Unfortunately, without Nina’s cooperation, there is little you can do.

It’s also possible that your son-in-law truly believes the move was the main contributing factor to Nina’s depression, and he may change his tune if the depression doesn’t lift. Don’t let your son-in-law dictate how often you stay in touch with Nina. Your calls and visits are important. Meanwhile, please contact NAMI (nami.org) at 1-800-950-NAMI and ask about their Family-toFamily program.

Dear Annie: I have recently attended a number of excessively long weddings. They begin with the ceremony, followed by an extended cocktail hour while the bridal party takes pictures, followed by dinner and then dancing. Even if we leave right after dinner is served, we’ve spent at least six hours at these events.

While I am excited to celebrate with the bride and groom, this is a lot to ask of a guest. I try to be patient, but by the end of the evening, I’m usually frustrated by what feels like indifference to the guests’ enjoyment. Are there rules that wedding planners could use when arranging the festivities? -- Jay Dear Jay: Wedding planners can only advise the bride and groom, and the best ones will keep the couple apprised of the timing. Couples who take photographs before the ceremony begins can shave an hour or more off the time, but some traditions keep couples from seeing each other until they walk down the aisle. The bottom line is, the couple may want the festivities to last through the night, but you are not obligated to stay any longer than you are comfortable doing. If that means you leave before dinner is served, so be it.

Dear Annie: I have yet one more perspective on why someone might let oneself be fat. I have long realized that not only did I not want to be ogled by men, but I was also trying to increase my substance in the world. Always feeling small and insignificant, I felt I needed to “have some weight to throw around.”

I was never abused, but I always felt shy, passed over and unimportant. I wanted to feel “bigger.” I couldn’t get taller, so I increased my body size. I felt better as I got bigger. I liked it. But I do realize that I should go to therapy to find another way to achieve those feelings. -- Big Girl

Drips to Go! Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, about to-go cups: “My Sound Off is when I go through a fast-food drive-thru and I am handed a cup that is dripping. I know some places do wipe down the cup before handing it to a patron. I wish they all would do that.” -- A.R., via email This can be a bother, and sure can make a mess on you and your auto!

-- Heloise EASY-CLEAN GRILL Dear Heloise: I have a small electric countertop grill. I was wondering if you have an easy way to clean it. -- Jason in San Marcos, Texas Hi, Jason. Let me guess -- you are a college student going to my alma mater, Texas State University, known as Southwest Texas State University when I went there. Here is an easy way to clean that grill: Unplug the grill (just so there is no problem), put some wet paper towels onto the grill and close the lid. Let it sit for a while, and go do something fun! The buildup should be loosened enough to scrub with a damp sponge (and a drop of dish soap). To prevent a bad buildup, at least wipe out the grill after each use. -- Heloise STEP STOOL Dear Heloise: Have you seen the small step stools with a curve to them? My young son needs a step stool to help him use the restroom and reach the sink to wash his hands. I saw the small, curved step stool at the store and had an idea. I bought it for him. It fits against the toilet nicely, and is small enough that it doesn’t get in the way. -- Shanna in San Antonio

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Sept. 8, 2014: This year you have a strong sense of what you want. You often will find that you are in black-and-white types of situations. You might wonder whether you should listen to your intellectual voice or your emotional voice. Try them out in different situations and see what works best for you. Look at what is not working in your life, then either fix it or let it go by next summer. If you are single, get to know someone very well before you decide to pursue the relationship further.

If you are attached, the two of you benefit from spending quality one-on-one time together. PISCES has the same issues as you, but he or she has a different approach to handling them.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Waking up might be difficult, as your mind seems foggy. Fortunately, this status will change, but perhaps not as fast as you’d like. Revamp your schedule to make it more workable. The impending Full Moon could be more volatile than normal. Tonight: Vanish while you can.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Creativity seems to emanate from you. Others will appreciate your energy. You have the ability to explain how to turn a seemingly impossible idea into a reality. Your vision and resourcefulness will be unbeatable.

Tonight: Act as if you don’t have a care in the world.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Take charge of a situation by getting down to the basics. Pressure is likely to build as the day goes on. An associate might want to discuss an intense issue, or a boss or someone you look up to could need some feedback.

Tonight: Juggle many different concerns.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH While others are likely to react defensively to a volatile situation, you will roll with the punches and try to see life from a different perspective.

People will find your new attitude intriguing, yet they might have a hard time adjusting to it. Tonight: Howl at the Full Moon.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Use caution with financial agreements and involvements. A deal that seems too good to be true probably is. Do your research. Use caution when counting your change or paying your bills, as there could be an unidentified problem. Tonight: Go along with someone else’s suggestion.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Defer to those around you, as they seem determined to have their way.

Do not interfere with the process. Allow your creative energy to emerge, and it will bring you many possible ideas.

Tonight: Go along with a difficult loved one’s wishes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You might feel as if you are being pressured. You’ll be coming from a grounded place, but you could be wondering about others. Focus on one task at a time. You will be able to make it through any emotional storm that heads your way. Tonight: Consider heading home early.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Your playful attitude will create a lot of positive changes. Above all, it will make you more approachable.

Fun plans could emerge as a result. If you are single, a romantic interest suddenly might appear. Tonight: Act as if it were the weekend.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to rethink a personal matter that comes to the forefront. A discussion with a friend will help you bypass a stressful situation and zero in on a solution. Be careful with monetary commitments, as everything is subject to change. Tonight: Mosey on home.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH If what you say is not getting through to someone, use your logic and try a different approach. You might need to speak in simpler terms. Adapt to lastminute changes that pop up from out of the blue. Screen calls if you find yourself feeling overloaded. Tonight: Make it easy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Your ideas might fall flat right now. Be concerned about a money matter, but try not to make any decisions or commitments right now, as the results might not be as beneficial as you would like. Refuse to take any risks. Tonight:

Cryptoquip

Crosswords

Make it your treat.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH The Full Moon in your sign points to your energy.

Many people could be stressed out and asking for your help.

Listen to feedback from a friend or loved one. Be willing to pitch in. A little extra effort will make all the difference.

Tonight: All eyes turn to you.

Mercadante’s big day leads Westfield State to win WESTFIELD, Mass. – Senior tailback Michael Mercadante ran for 196 yards and two touchdowns to lead Westfield State University to a season opening 30-22 win over Nichols College.

The win was also a positive debut for head coach Pete Kowalski, who was named head coach of the Owls this spring after 18 years as an assistant and defensive coordinator at Westfield.

Westfield opened the scoring with a 29-yard field goal from Michael Orellana to cap the Owls opening drive.

Nichols immediately answered with a nine-play, 65-yard drive of its own, capped by a 6 yard scoring run from Quillian Respass.

Westfield countered late in the first quarter with a surprise 17-yard scoring run from sophomore running back Ryan Wilder, who swept left then exploded up the sideline for his first collegiate score.

That lead was short-lived, however, as Nichols’ Grant Klimek took the ensuing kickoff at the four yardline, the weaved through tacklers to near midfield on the right side, then cut back to the middle with a burst of speed to score on a

96-yeard kick return and give the Bison a 14-10 lead.

Westfield got the lead back, 17-14, on a 10-yard run from Mercadante midway through the second quarter and took that lead into halftime.

Nichols again grabbed the lead, when Respass scrambled to his left to get out of trouble, then launched a 22-yard hail mary back to the right corner of the end zone, where it found Tyrell Todd for a leaping touchdown catch. The Bison extended its lead to 22-17 when a bad snap on the PAT try led to Dean Beebe running the ball in for a two-point conversion.

Mercadante and the Owls veteran offensive line went to work, with Mercadante breaking free for a 50-yard touchdown run with 38 seconds left in the third quarter. The Owls went for two, but the try failed and left Westfield with a 23-22 lead.

Westfield finally earned itself some breathing room early in the fourth quarter, when Erik Washburn tossed an eight-yard fade to Colin Smith in the left corner of the end zone for a 30-22 lead.

Nichols had three drives that could have tied the game, but the Owls defense held tough, not allowing the Bison to cross on midfield on any of them. Senior linebacker Troy Cutter led

Juskiewicz scores twice to lead Owls WESTFIELD – Sophomore forward Jennelle Juskiewicz (Mahar/ Orange, Mass.) scored a pair of goals in a two minute span in the second half to help Westfield State to a 5-0 win over Western New England in field hockey on Saturday at Alumni Field.

Westfield scored the game-winning goal late in the first half, when freshman Rachel Bunce (Dennis –Yarmouth / East Dennis, MA) tallied off an assist from Holly Brouillette (Burlington/ Burlington, Mass.) with just 15 seconds left before the intermission.

Westfield’s depth appeared to wear down Western New England on a hot day as the Owls tallied four times in the second half to pull away.

Brouilette made it a 2-0 game for the Owls when she received a through ball from Meg Doherty (Mansfield/Mansfield, Mass.) and

Mercadante finished with 196 yards on 30 carries.

“Bum Phillips said when you have a big gun, you shoot it,” said Kowalski. Michael was a very good football player as a sophomore and junior but he got injured both years. He’s really been dedicated for his senior season. He’s a horse, and we’re going to utilize him.”

Kowalski also touch on his offensive line’s strong day.

The Owls split time between two senior quarterbacks, in Washburn and Steve Guercio. Washburn finished 6 of 7 passing for 80 yards and score. Guercio completed six of 11 passes for 78 yards, and also ran for 32 yards.

Bobby Boire had a solid receiving day for the Owls with five catches for 100 yards.

Kowalski down played the importance of his first win as a collegiate head coach.

Westfield, now 1-0 on the season, will travel to local rival Western New England for a 1:00 p.m. kickoff next Saturday, September 13.
