Some private ways in city may become public streets

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—If you live on certain private ways in the city, your street may be one step closer to becoming a public way.

The City Council’s Legislative and Ordinance (L & O) Committee voted earlier this week to approve a resolution to send a home rule petition to the state legislature that would authorize the city to categorize private ways into public streets. The measure will now be sent to City Council on Nov. 16, where it is expected to be voted on by the entire council and if successful, is then expected to go to the state legislature.

The project was originally put forth by outgoing Ward Four Councilor Mary O’Connell, who was said to have been working on this for over a decade.

“I’ve been working on this for almost 12 years,” she said.

“The process to accept private ways to public ways is cumbersome,” O’Connell said, adding that steps include public hearings and multiple departments.

“The process now is broken, we want to try a

Congregation on a mission to collect coats

By LORI SZEPELAK Correspondent WESTFIELD-For many adults in our region, the gift of a warm winter coat is a blessing.

“This is New England and a coat can literally mean the difference between life and death,” said Reverend Barbara Hesse, who recently joined the UCC Second Congregational Church of Westfield on Western Avenue. Known as “Pastor Barb,” Hesse has extended the church’s coat drive through Nov. 19 and welcomes area residents to donate to this cause.

“Almost 10 years ago, the Springfield Rescue Mission contacted the Second Congregational Church and requested our help in providing coats to their residents,” said Hesse. “The church views itself as a ‘Beacon of Hope’ and as a congregation, they regarded the request as a way to provide shelter, worth and dignity to an underserved population.”

Coat donations can be dropped off at the church on Nov. 12 or Nov. 19 from 11 a.m. to noon, or from Nov. 14-17 from 9:30 a.m. to noon.

For more information, call (413) 568-7557.

“We use the coats to warm all those who are cold, regardless of religious affiliation,” said Hesse. “That’s why we are looking for coats and jackets of all shapes and sizes.”

Hesse noted the coat drive is

a church-wide service project led by volunteers working behind the scenes including York Mitchell, Scott Clark, Angela Powell, Linda Byers, Holly Lurgio and Patrick Jay. “Our church is passionate about being a ‘Beacon of Hope,’ but we can’t do it alone,” said Hesse. “We need the help and support of the community.

There’s so much need, and though we’re doing everything we can, we need the community’s help to reach all in our community who need help.”

Hesse added that once all of the coats are counted they will be delivered within two to three days after Nov. 19.

“I am blessed to have been called to lead such a loving group of people,” said Hesse.

“The people of UCC Second Congregational Church demonstrate the love of God in everything they do, and I have found that to be inspiring.”

While the coat drive has been a mainstay for many years, the congregation is active throughout the year with other service projects, ranging from its food pantry to help feed needy Westfield State University students, staff, and faculty, to participating in the Westfield Food Pantry’s Walk for Westfield and collecting food for the organization year-round. Additionally, a Mitten Tree donates winter apparel items to those in need and in 2016, 142 winter items

The Rev. Barbara Hesse, Pastor of the Second Congregational church in Westfield. (Photo submitted) were given to the Sioux YMCA in South Dakota. Other worthy projects that church members support include “Our Community Table,” serving meals to Westfield’s homeless population; “The Kinship Fund,” that supports homeless teens in Westfield, and Church World Services, which provides disaster response in the United States and around the world.

In January, Hesse added that the church will sponsor a “Month of Undie Sundays,” collecting new packages of underwear to provide to the Springfield Rescue Mission and other local programs, such as the Kinship Fund.

“The first thing I noticed about the church was that the website said, ‘Driven by Christ to Care,’” said Hesse. “Over the last three months, as I’ve gotten to know the congregation, I’ve found that that’s not just a slogan.”

Shop Small Business Saturday in Southwick

By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent SOUTHWICK – On Monday, Oct. 16, the Economic Development Commission sent out a press release announcing that they will be promoting Small Business Saturday in Southwick. A nation-wide event that was started by the American Express corporation in 2010, this one-day event takes place on the Saturday after Thanksgiving and encourages holiday shoppers to buy locally.

This year, Small Business Saturday will be on Nov. 25.

With a majority of small businesses in Southwick being located on College Hwy, Feeding Hills Road, and Congamond Road, it gives peo-

ple the opportunity to benefit from what several local businesses in town provide.

Michael McMahon, Economic Development Commission member, informed the Select Board about the event. Russ Fox, a Select Board member as well as a small business owner in town, is in complete support of Small Business Saturday.

“I think it’s a great idea,” said Fox, who co-owns the Southwick Flower Shop. “I’m always a big supporter of supporting all businesses in the town of Southwick.”

If any small business in Southwick would like to take part in Small Business Saturday, send your name, name of busi-

property lines that do not extend to the middle of the roads, so the roadway is essentially unowned.

“Theoretically, these are the newer subdivisions that have had property set aside to have a street. These are supposed to have streets that nobody owns,” Figy said. “Streets that are all ready to go.”

According to L & O member and Ward Two Councilor Bill Onyski, most of the streets have plans that have occurred within the past roughly 20 years.

“Majority of the streets have plans dating back to around the year 2000,” he said. “There’s a few in there that are slightly older, but majority are 2000 and closer.”

Onyski, like Figy, said that the newer streets should have boundaries that leave space for roads.

Figy noted that for certain other private ways, the city would have to go through the process of acquiring the land that the roadway is on, due to how parcel boundaries were created for those private ways and how the boundaries may extend to the middle of the road.

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—The city of Westfield has provided several downtown businesses with signs showing their efforts to maintain the area but two were reportedly recently vandalized according to Community Outreach Coordinator Amber Danahey, while another was reported missing.

Skyline Trading Company, Blended Vintage Marketplace, Jack’s Barber Shop, RE/MAX Compass and The Good Table all received signs on Friday, Nov. 3, which show locations near the businesses that were “adopted” by them. These are areas that the businesses will help to take care of and maintain, including vegetation and trash pickup.

According to Danahey, the program began to form in August, when several businesses approached the city about caring for planters and other areas of the city. The city determined that they would get signs for the businesses participating to highlight their efforts, while also drafting a policy for businesses to follow regarding caring for their areas.

“The city paid for the signs for the good will we will receive in return,” Danahey said.

The signs were planted last week at businesses that were participating, highlighting the businesses that adopted those small parcels to care for.

However, according to Danahey, by this past Monday it was found that at least two of the signs–Jack’s Barber Shop and Blended Vintage Marketplace–were reportedly vandalized.

The information came from a phone call Danahey received from one of the participants. In addition, Lisa Pac, owner of Skyline Trading Company, also noted to The Westfield News that her sign was missing earlier this week.

“We got a phone call from Jack at Jack’s Barber Shop asking if there were replacement possibilities for vendors that had participated,” Danahey said.

“We really hadn’t thought of it that far, didn’t think we had to this soon,” she said.

Danahey said that the sign for Jack’s Barber Shop was found “flat” in a nearby parking lot.

“Luckily it hadn’t been damaged too bad and he was able to put it back in his planter,” Danahey said.

In addition, Danahey said that the sign for Blended Vintage Marketplace also had damage.

Andrea Bruno, owner of Blended Vintage Marketplace, was unaware of the damage at first.

Bruno said that the fact that this happened is disheartening.

“I’m kind of bummed out, I just got the sign,” she said.

However, in spite of it, she said that she would continue to maintain the area she pledged to take care of.

“I will still take care of the planters, just a little upsetting that someone has to ruin what the city of Westfield is trying to do and what the small businesses are trying to do to bring Westfield back,” she said.

Bill Miner, owner of RE/MAX Compass, who said that he is bringing in his sign for the winter, was also disheartened by the news.

Jack’s Barber Shop sign.

“I can’t believe people that don’t respect things in the town and things that go to improve Westfield,” he said. “Unbelievable people can’t respect that.”

Miner’s sign was not damaged or missing.

Pac said that she noticed the Skyline Trading Company sign missing on Tuesday, and believes that it may have occurred around the same time as the other two incidents. When asked what she may do, Pac was unsure.

“I don’t really know, I can call the mayor’s office and ask but if we put another out there and it disappears then it’s all for nothing,” she said.

“I didn’t even get to really see it,” she added.

Pac said that no police report was filed regarding the incident.

Pac is discouraged, but said that this won’t prevent her from continuing to maintain the area she said she would.

“We’re still going to take care of the garden whether our name’s there or not,” she said.

Pac suggested that the city should look into attaching the signs to their locations somehow to prevent something like this from happening again.

Danahey responded to the news of the alleged incident with the Skyline Trading Company’s sign and others on Thursday via email: We initiated the Adopt Westfield program at the inquiry of a few local businesses that were interested in helping out their city. We wanted to capitalize on their enthusiasm.

Signs were distributed to the businesses on Friday, and by Monday there were reports of vandalism – and today one that has been stolen outright. I’m disappointed. At this point, I am not sure if the signs will be replaced. They weren’t inexpensive. Until a more permanent solution can be determined for the signs, we will not order replacements.”

MOUNT WASHINGTON, N.H. (AP) — Weather observers stationed atop the highest peak in the Northeast are having some fun with a blast of cold wind.

Winds gusted to over 100 mph (160 kph), temperatures got down to below zero and the wind chill hit minus-40 on Friday at the Mount Washington Observatory in New Hampshire, site of some of the world’s worst recorded weather.

The frigid conditions didn’t stop the observatory’s Tom Padham from battling the whipping winds. In a video post on the observatory’s Facebook page, Padham is seen strapping on a pair of goggles and heading outside for “a bit of fun” — struggling to stand against the wind.

It feels like January across the upper Midwest and Northeast. The National Weather Service says high temperatures are 15 to 25 degrees below average and numerous freeze warnings are in effect.

SEAL candidate injured in study-session slapping incident SAN DIEGO (AP) — The Navy is investigating a slapping incident near San Diego that left a SEAL candidate in a coma.

The San Diego Union-Tribune reports that the candidate was injured on Oct. 12 during a study session at the Naval Special Warfare training complex in Coronado.

The paper says as an incentive to answer questions correctly, the sailor and a friend had agreed to slap whichever one got an answer wrong.

One candidate was slapped and fell to the floor, striking his head. Surgeons placed him in a medically-induced coma.

SEAL spokesman Lt. Trevor Davids says the sailor is now in good condition and is recovering.

The Naval Criminal Investigative Service and members of the warfare center are reviewing the incident.

Rep. Velis’ weekly update Good morning Westfield! I want to start this week’s update with a sincere thank you to everyone who went out to vote this past Tuesday in our municipal elections.

As I said last week, I firmly believe that no matter who you vote for, turning up at the polls is one of your core duties as an American citizen. Congratulations to all of those who were elected (or re-elected), especially our new City Councilors Matt Emmershy, Nick Morganelli, and Mike Burns. I look forward to working with you all in the coming years. To all the candidates, win or lose, thank you for putting in the time and dedication to our City’s wellbeing. It is no

REP. JOHN VELIS small task for candidates or their families to run a campaign and put themselves in the public eye. I commend everyone who had the courage to step up to the plate this

year and hope that you will continue to take a keen interest in city politics.

On another note, today is truly one of the most important days of the year. Veterans’ Day is the day that we as a nation stop and think of the millions of men and woman who have raised their hands to protect and serve our country. For those of us who have served, it is a day to reflect on our experiences and remember those we served with who are no longer with us.

This week, I attended and spoke at several Veterans’ Day events, including the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home ceremony, a dinner dance with the VFW, and breakfast with the Boys and Girls Club.

Throughout the year, I make it a priority to attend Veterans’ events, but this week, in particular, tends to book up quickly with all sorts of salutes, parades, and ceremonies. One of my favorite parts about attending all these events is, of course, meeting and sharing stories with vets of all ages. It is humbling to hear the tales of older vets who stormed the beaches of Normandy or battled over the 38th parallel in Korea, and it is inspiring to know that there are so many among us that have been to Vietnam, the Gulf, the Middle East, and countless other conflict zones to protect and defend our Constitution in more recent years.

If there is one commonality that all the vets and active duty members I meet share, it is a deep-seated love for this Country and a powerful sense of purpose. On April 6th, 2013, while I was deployed in Afghanistan, the base I was stationed at was attacked by a suicide bomber. 3 American Soldiers, 2 State Department Employees, and an Afghan Doctor were killed while on their way to deliver books to school children. In the military, the violent loss of American lives anywhere, for any reason, is a devastating blow, but it is also a strong motivator. The death of those 5 Americans shook us to the core, but nevertheless, I will never forget how proud I was to get up that morning and plan our mission with my fellow soldiers.

Our message was simple: they may have hit us hard, but we would hit them harder.

While all of our individual stories are different, it is this common understanding- that our American ideals and fellow citizens are worth defending with our lives- that makes a vet, a vet. We may not all agree on politics or religion, but we all agree that The United States is by far the greatest country on Earth, and an affront to just one of us is an attack on us all.

Veterans’ Day is also a great time to remember the great responsibility we bear to make sure that we are looking after our vets, young and old, who spent years looking after us. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has a long track record of going above and beyond for our returning service members, but there is always more to be done. As Vice Chair of Veterans and Federal Affairs, I am honored to represent vets across the state and to work on legislation to improve their quality of life.

Before I go, I want to speak briefly to our Vietnam Veterans. I have often said that the way you were treated when you returned from war is one of the worst black marks on American history.

What you endured- getting spit on, sworn at, and mistreated- was an absolute disgrace. When I think of your experience versus the experience of vets returning from Afghanistan and Iraq, it gives me a heavy heart. In more recent years, returning veterans have been given welcome home bonuses, military discounts, and countless offers of help- something all of you deserved. However, even in the wake of so much disrespect and injustice, when I returned from war, the first people to extend their hands in friendship were the Vietnam Vets. I will forever be grateful for your kindness, gratitude, and understanding.

So, to all the Vietnam Vets out there from Westfield and beyond, thank you for your service, and WELCOME HOME! That’s it for this week, folks, but as always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to my office at (413) 572-3920 or john. velis@mahouse.gov. Enjoy your weekend and go thank a vet!

Data firm CEO: Reached out to Assange about Clinton emails WASHINGTON (AP) — A data firm that worked for President Donald Trump's campaign reached out to WikiLeaks during the campaign about obtaining emails related to Democrat Hillary Clinton, the company's CEO said.

Alexander Nix, CEO of Cambridge Analytica, said the approach was in "early June 2016" after WikiLeaks Editor Julian Assange had publicly claimed he had Clinton emails and planned to publish them. Nix said his company asked a speaker's agency representing Assange whether WikiLeaks "might share that information," but Assange turned him down.

Nix's comments Thursday at the Web Summit technology conference in Lisbon, Portugal, were his first acknowledgement that he had sought emails from WikiLeaks. Assange had previously told The Associated Press that WikiLeaks had rejected a "request for information" from Cambridge Analytica. The Wall Street Journal first reported Nix's comments.

Cambridge Analytica's role in the president's campaign has caught the attention of congressional committees probing Russia's interference in the 2016 election and any possible coordination with Trump associates. The company is backed by Robert Mercer, a billionaire Trump supporter. Before joining the Trump administration, former White House strategist Steve Bannon also served as a vice president at the company.

The Trump campaign paid Cambridge Analytica nearly $6 million for data management. The campaign's first payment to the company was on July 29, 2016, according to Federal Election Commission records. But the Journal reported Friday that Nix's outreach to WikiLeaks came while Cambridge Analytica was in contract negotiations with the campaign in June. At that time, the company had already sent some of its employees to help the campaign, the Journal reported.

A spokesman for Cambridge Analytica and a related company, SCL Group, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

During the Web Summit interview, Nix denied that his company was involved in any Russian election meddling.

"We did no work with Russia in this election. And moreover, we would never work with a third-party state actor in another country's election campaign," he said.

He also called the outreach to Assange "very benign." He said it stemmed from an article in The Guardian newspaper in early June 2016 that said "WikiLeaks was going to publish a huge amount of information that could be very relevant to the election and could impact it sincerely."

Nix appeared to be referencing a June 12, 2016, article that was based on Assange's comment to a British television network that WikiLeaks had "upcoming leaks in relation to Hillary Clinton" that were in the form of emails.

On Thursday, Nix said that after he saw the article, he asked his "office to reach out to, actually it was a speaking agency that represents Julian Assange to ask if he might share that information with us and we received a message back from them that he didn't want to or wasn't able to."

"And that was the end of the matter," Nix added.

Last month, Assange confirmed that WikiLeaks was approached

by Cambridge Analytica prior to November 2016 but he declined to provide specifics about the interaction, other than saying it was a "request for information."

Assange's comments came in response to a story from The Daily Beast that reported that Nix's outreach was about possibly obtaining the 33,000 emails that Clinton said were deleted from her private server. Those emails have never been released.

Justice Kagan withdraws from Supreme Court immigration case WASHINGTON (AP) — Justice Elena Kagan has stepped aside from the Supreme Court's consideration of a case involving the rights of immigrants who are detained while the government considers deporting them.

Court clerk Scott Harris says in a letter Friday that Kagan belatedly discovered that she authorized a court filing at an earlier stage of the case when she was serving in the Justice Department.

Justices typically take themselves out of cases if they've played even a minor role at any point.

There now will be eight justices to decide the issue. The court has heard arguments twice. The first round, in 2016, was inconclusive. That was before Neil Gorsuch joined the court.

The justice listened to new arguments last month.

It's unclear whether Kagan's absence will affect the outcome.

US, Russia seek understanding on next steps in Syria

By JOSH LEDERMAN and MATTHEW LEE Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — As the Islamic State group nears defeat, the United States and Russia are discussing next steps that could prevent the two military powers from inadvertently clashing in Syria and improve prospects for an end to the country's brutal civil war.

Fears about how the messy array of forces active in Syria may collide have grown as IS loses its last major stronghold and the focus shifts back to Syria's intractable conflict between President Bashar Assad's government and opposition groups. For the U.S. and ally Israel, a key concern is that foreign powers such as Iran will now dominate the country's future.

U.S. officials said an agreement under discussion in recent days would focus on three elements: "deconfliction" between the U.S. and Russian militaries, reducing violence in the civil war and reinvigorating U.N.-led peace talks. The officials weren't authorized to discuss the deliberations and requested anonymity.

Yet it was unclear whether the U.S. and Russia would ultimately reach any understanding.

"Why are you asking me? Ask the Americans," snapped Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov after a potential meeting Friday between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin was scrapped.

The United States had hoped that if the countries could show significant progress on a major global issue, it could serve as the basis for a meeting between Trump and Putin, who could then discuss and announce it during a summit in Vietnam.

In behind-the-scenes negotiations, the two sides tried to formulate some framework of a deal, two administration officials said. Though North Korea and the Ukraine were discussed, the focus was on a Syria agreement.

"We have been in contact with them, and the view has been if the two leaders are going to meet, is there something sufficiently substantive to talk about that would warrant a formal meeting?" Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Thursday in Beijing.

The Russians told reporters such a meeting was likely and that the time and place were being arranged. But talks stalled.

Blaming scheduling conflicts, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters that the meeting was off just minutes before Air Force One touched down in Vietnam.

Still, the leaders shook hands Friday on the sidelines of the summit, and Sanders said it was possible Trump and Putin could interact in an informal setting. Both Trump and Putin also plan to be in the Philippines later in the week, where it's possible they could cross paths again.

Russia and the U.S. have maintained a "deconfliction" hotline for years to avoid unintended collisions and even potential confrontations as they each operate in Syria's crowded skies. A heavy air campaign by Russia has been credited with shoring up the position of Assad, a close ally of Moscow.

With IS nearing defeat, the U.S. and Russia are losing their common enemy in Syria and will remain in a proxy battle in which Russia backs Assad and the U.S. lends at least rhetorical support to armed opposition groups fighting the government. That has increased the need for close communication between the two powers about where their forces are operating at any given time, officials said.

The agreement also seeks to build on progress in establishing "de-escalation zones" in Syria that have calmed some parts of the country. In July, when Trump held his first meeting with Putin in Germany, the U.S. and Russia announced a deal that included Jordan and established a cease-fire in southwest Syria. The United States has said that cease-fire has largely held and could be replicated elsewhere in the country.

A key U.S. concern, shared by close ally Israel, is the presence of Iranian-backed militias in Syria that have exploited the vacuum of power. The United States and Israel have been seeking ways to prevent forces loyal to Iran — Israel's archenemy — from establishing a permanent presence. One idea hinges on a "buffer zone" along Israel's border with Syria.

Yet U.S. and Russian interests diverge when it comes to Iran's role in Syria. Tehran, like Moscow, has been staunchly backing Assad, as it works to establish a corridor stretching from Iran through Iraq and Syria and into Lebanon.

A third element of the deal would reaffirm support for the United Nations effort being run out of Geneva to seek a political transition in Syria and resolve the civil war. The United States and Russia have been at odds for years over whether Assad could be allowed to remain in power in a future Syrian government.

The U.N. talks, which have come in fits and starts without yielding significant progress, aren't the only discussions about Syria's future. Russia, Turkey and Iran have been brokering their own process in Astana, Kazakhstan. The U.S. views those talks warily because of Iran's involvement, though they've led to local cease-fire deals that have reduced violence, too.

"We believe that the Geneva process is the right way to go," State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said Thursday. "Unfortunately, it is a long way off, but we're getting a little bit closer."

The U.S.-Russia deal may also seek to expand the mandate of a joint "monitoring center" established this year in Amman, Jordan, to watch for cease-fire violations and other developments on the ground. It has focused on southwest Syria, where the cease-fire is in place, but could be used to monitor broader stretches of the country.

Court Logs

Marlena held the beveled edges of a wooden handle in one hand and a pen in the other. The wooden handle was attached to a miniature stop sign that her Carson domestic violence advocate had made for her. The octagonal top of the stop sign was about a foot across. Just as with a street sign, the front was red, with the letters “STOP” across it. On the back, however, white space on which Marlena was preparing to write.

For a few weeks now, her Healing Alliance support group had been learning about health relationships and about how tricky it can be to figure out if you are in an abusive relationship at first. That’s because abusive relationships start out looking the same as healthy relationships most of the time. Both start with romance. Had Marlena’s husband Bill sat down with her on their first date and after ordering dinner and complimenting her on her hair, offered her a lifetime of humiliation and controlling behavior, she’d have definitely refused. But in the early months, all the way up until they were sexually involved, he offered her the kind of love anyone would want. Looking back all those years, and thinking about what her Carson advocate had been teaching. Marlene figured that when they became sexually involved , on some level, Bill decided that he owned her.

That’s when things had really changed. They were small signs at first. Eventually, after they got married, he would sexually assault her, telling her that she was “his” and sex was his “right” whether she gave consent or not.

Her Carson advocate had asked her to write on the back of this stop sign significant things that she would want her teenage self to know about being that relationship.

Marlena held the pen and thougth about her teenage self. Her hair had been red then, where it was white now.

She wrote, “Have a good argument first, before you decide if it’s a good relationship. See if the solution is all about him and what he wants.” “Notice if he makes you feel good momentarily then puts you down immediately.”

Notice if you feel loved a majority of the time.” “Notice if he can accept influence from you.” “Notice if he punishes you when he is wrong about something.”

The tears rolled down her face as her mind moved through the forty years of marriage. There had been all those kids to care for.

“Notice if you’ve been isolated from your acquaintances.”Notice if he shows any attention to you for your hobbies or interest AFTER he thinks you are committed” she wrote to her young self. And finally, her hand pausing, she wrote “Listen to your grandmother.”

Before Bill had stopped Marlena from seeing her, grandma had said many times, “Trust yourself, Marlena, no matter what, I will be here for you.” And that why she trusted her Carson advocate. Because that’s exactly what her Carson advocate says to her.

NOVEMBER EDITION: NFL’S KNEELING CONTROVERSY NOVEMBER’S ARTICLE:

Emotions run high with NFL’s Kneeling Controversy Tim Cordes Editor-in-Chief Sophomore Suffield Academy The NFL is a major part of American pride.

It is a sport nearly exclusive to the U.S., the free country. The Kneeling Controversy in the NFL has strong emotions tied to it.

Some players kneel when the National Anthem is played, showing their distaste towards how people in America are being oppressed, how people are being judged by their skin color and how America is doing nothing to stop it. A problem cannot be fixed until it is addressed. If this divided side of America truly feels this way, we should look into it and see statistically if this is a problem. The players have every right to show how they feel. We are a free people, and we can openly share anything.

The 1st Amendment protects our views against government, so of course the NFL players can express how they feel. Everyone believes that protesting is a right that we all have liberty to. However, these players are at work, and the 1st Amendment does not protect free speech in business. The owners of the NFL can fire these protesters as they choose, they have every right to it for if the employers do not agree with how or even what the protesters are symbolizing, the first amendment cannot protect them. It is every company’s right to restrain their employees’ speech.

There is also another school of thought.

People have died for this country to make it what it is, and this is what the National Anthem represents. To protest the National Anthem is to protest America itself. This shows that you do not agree with our values that we all worked so hard to attain by freeing ourselves from the tyranny of Britain during the time of our founding fathers. We gave every person in America rights, and while we perfected those rights over our twohundred years as a country, we are now a country built on freedom and equality. Every legal and documented American has just as many rights as the other.

THINK TANK

Hannah Bean Sophomore Westfield High

Will Cameron Sophomore Westfield High

The first game of this NFL season, 27 players took a knee when the national anthem was being performed. Many people may think this is very disrespectful to our country and to the people who fight for our freedom every day. I believe this stands for something much larger than that. The athletes are calling attention to all of the discrimination and oppression in our society. Many NFL athletes believe that kneeling before the flag represents not hailing to the nation when people are on the streets and no one can get justice for being the target of racial discrimination. Our U.S president Donald Trump tweeted “If a player wants the privilege of making millions of dollars in the NFL, or other leagues, he or she should not be allowed to disrespect....” He won’t tolerate the NFL kneeling but, they want to call attention to freedom of speech also. The whole nation is watching these football games. There couldn’t be a better way to display this concern. I believe that everyone should be treated equal. Trump is taking this issue the wrong way. The NFL thinks of kneeling as a way to show how they will not stand before a country where half of us are not accepted. No one should have to walk on eggshells when they want to share their opinion in a respectful way. No one should be worried about being shot if they leave their safe home. The world deserves peace.

We need to all come together. If we all just work as one and have compassion and empathy for one another everyone would be happier and kinder. Calling attention to this way of life is not disrespectful it is intelligent and understandable. I am not proud to be a part of this country when discrimination and being unable to voice your opinion is acceptable.

Since the beginning of this year’s NFL season, the number of kneeling protests among all teams has increased greatly. The main reason behind the protests among players and coaches is they do not think our justice system is fair and is targeted against people based on the color of their skin. Over the past few weeks, we have seen a variety of ways that the players, coaches, and even teams as a whole have expressed their feelings about these issues. Most teams have taken a knee while linking arms during the national anthem and other teams have still stood proud for their country. A few teams and players in particular stood out to me during these protests, however. On September 25th, the Dallas Cowboys took a knee as a whole team prior to the national anthem showing respect for the flag while also showing unity and recognizing what is going on in the world around them. On September 24th, the Pittsburgh Steelers remained inside the locker room during the national anthem while one person, Alejandro Villanueva stood out on the field with his hand over his heart. Alejandro served in Afghanistan as an Army Ranger prior to his NFL career. Many celebrities have voiced their opinion about the NFL protests. President Donald Trump was among one of these people to share his opinion, and believes it is completely disrespectful to this country that they do not stand for the national anthem. When he heard the Dallas Cowboys expressed their opinion before the national anthem and stood during it, he thought it showed “great progress” and love for the country. Many people across the country have not agreed to or liked Trump’s comments about the NFL, especially the players. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell stated on October 18th that he encourages players to stand during the national anthem but will not force them by changing any rules about the protests. Overall, the NFL teams have shined a light on a big issue in today’s country but I believe there is a better time and place to express their feelings about these issues.

Pat Cordes Senior Suffield Academy The current NFL protests are an example of how a player can express his first amendment rights. However, doing such bold actions creates controversy. By using the National Anthem – a sole reminder of the people who risk their lives so we in turn can continue ours safely – as a platform to portray their political view is inappropriate. Football should be a place Can You Sarah? come where people of Help all backgrounds together to support their favorite team, not argue over politics. Instead, those who believe in displaying their opinion, should voice it outside the stadium, among the real peaceful protests. They should support the local marches and inspire others to fight their cause where it will be effective.

Doing so lifts the unnecessary pressure off the NFL owners and doesn’t affect the www.sarahgillett.org viewer rating – something that is suffering quite a bit because of this issue. That week of President Trump’s comments about the NFL, their ratings dropped four percent. In close, the players should keep their personal, political views off the field and leave the distractions out of their occupation.

Bombers chill Brownies

By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The temperatures at Friday night’s high school football game were bitter cold. The Westfield Bombers were not.

Westfield backs Dakotah Moynihan and Trot Gosselin combined for six touchdowns (two of which came on TD passes from quarterback Mike Nihill) and the red-hot Bombers upended the Agawam Brownies 46-6 Friday night in front of a sparse home crowd of less than a hundred fans at Bullens Field.

Moynihan carried the rock 16 times for 217 yards and three touchdowns. Gosselin made

the most of his four touches, scoring on three of them.

Westfield (2-7), now winners of two straight, came out fired up.

After a rousing rendition of the National Anthem by Westfield High School senior Robert Rodriguez, Westfield kept fans abuzz as Baley Collier returned the opening kickoff 85 yards. A few plays later, Nihill connected with Gosselin on a 13-yard passing touchdown with 8:42 remaining in the first quarter.

Westfield continued to build on the momentum.

On Westfield’s first play on its first drive of

the second quarter, Nihill hit Collier on a 26-yard pass play. On the next play, Moynihan scored on a 30-yard touchdown run to make it 12-0.

Agawam finally struck for a touchdown of its own, scoring on the first play of the next possession. Thomas Caracciolo rumbled 60 yards for a touchdown.

Westfield responded in resounding fashion, scoring on its next two possessions. The Bombers capped off a seven-play, 60-yard drive with a four-yard score from Gosselin with 6:43 left in the half.

Westfield struck again with 1:46 remaining

in the half on a 73-yard touchdown pass from Nihill to Gosselin. Gosselin snuck out to an open spot about 20 yards upfield – no one was within 20 yards of the play – hauled in the pass and raced upfield untouched.

If Agawam had any hopes of a comeback, they were quelled midway through the third quarter when after fumbling, Moynihan ran it in from 11 yards out to make it a 34-6 game.

On Westfield’s next possession, Moynihan ripped off a 50-yard run, and followed that up, three plays later, with a 17-yard touchdown run. Gabriel Santiago scored another TD for the Bombers in the waning minutes.

Bennett disputes Packers’ reason for being waived FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Martellus Bennett is disputing the reason that the Green Bay Packers cited in releasing the tight end this week.

The New England Patriots claimed Bennett on Thursday, a day after he was waived by the Packers. The team cited a "failure to disclose a physical condition" as the reason for the move.

Bennett said in a lengthy post Friday on Instagram that the Packers examined his shoulder when he signed as a free agent in March and cleared him. Bennett says his shoulder got worse during the season and that he asked to have it checked after the 35-31 win on Oct. 8 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Bennett says he chose to have surgery but the Packers team physician, Pat McKenzie, "didn't make me feel safe and was pushing to play." Bennett says he got three other opinions who said that he needed to have the shoulder fixed.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers broke his right collarbone on Oct. 15 against Minnesota, a potential season-ending injury that hurt the Packers' Super Bowl hopes.

During the bye week after the Oct. 22 loss to New Orleans, Bennett also posted a message on Instagram that indicated that he was contemplating retirement.

Bennett says he went off anti-inflammatory medicine during the bye week and asked to have it examined his first day back. Bennett took part in the first practice after the bye. But he went on the injury report at midweek before the loss on Monday night to the Detroit Lions with a shoulder injury. He did not play in the game.

Bennett says that the Packers "panicked" thinking that he was trying to go on injured reserve and "be on their books next year. ...

This was all about money."

"I chose my health over my 'team.' They chose money over me," Bennett wrote.

But Bennett practiced on Friday on his first day with his new team as a limited participant.

He is listed as questionable for the Patriots' game Sunday night against Denver.

It was unclear if the team would respond to Bennett. But current or former Packers took to

MARTELLUS BENNETT social media to defend McKenzie.

"In my 10 years of being with the Packers organization and having multiple injuries and surgeries, I have never once felt pressure to play in a game," receiver Jordy Nelson, who missed the 2015 season with a torn ACL, said on Twitter .

Nelson said McKenzie was cautious with injuries and "always puts the player's health before the team."

Former Packers fullback John Kuhn, who is on injured reserve with the New Orleans Saints, said on Twitter that he was never pressured to play in nine years in Green Bay. "In fact, I would argue that I pressured him to me play at times."

Earlier Friday in Green Bay, coach Mike McCarthy said he had advised Bennett to get second opinions after coming in from the bye.

"He did that and he went to a number of them. The last medical conversation I was involved with in regards to Marty, they were talking about scheduling surgery, After that, then you have the termination and then the claim," McCarthy said.

He declined comment on the Patriots picking up the tight end.

"I've answered the question for the last time respectfully," McCarthy said about Bennettrelated issues.

Dear Annie

By ANNIE LANE

When Does Milk Go Bad? Dear Annie: My husband and I disagree on when to discard milk. Lately, I find that our milk is spoiled by the “sell by” date on the bottle. He believes that date is only good as long as the bottle remains unopen. He tells me that once you open the bottle, the milk will spoil sooner than the date on the bottle, so it should be discarded no later than the “sell by” date. What can you tell us about this? -- Tired of Tossing Milk in Connecticut Dear Tired of Tossing Milk: You and your husband are not alone in this debate. Food researchers at Cornell have conducted studies on the shelf life of milk. It turns out there are a lot of factors. Generally, an unopen carton of milk will stay good for seven to 10 days past the “sell by” date, as long as it’s not exposed to sunlight.

Once you open it, a carton of regular milk should stay good for five to seven days (possibly longer) if stored in a fridge at 40 F or less. Organic milk tends to take longer to spoil because of the way it’s processed.

Ultimately, though, you can’t go wrong by the old adage, “When in doubt, throw it out.” Better safe than sick.

Dear Annie: I want to comment on the topic of people leaving their pets behind. I live in a small town in western New York. Every year, I see cats, kittens and puppies that have just been tossed out on the side of the road to fend for themselves.

The few that actually survive to make it to a house that won’t turn them away is minuscule. I find it appalling that people think this is an OK thing to do. On one occasion, during a particularly bad winter, someone left a 5-month-old puppy tied to a telephone pole. The pup would have died had it not been for my other half. We raised the pup, and she was with us until it was her time, 14 years later. We’ve rescued many cats the same way.

We cannot handle every little kitten, cat, puppy or dog that people drop off in the country. Those of us in the community who can help do, but people need to understand this: Domestic pets are not able to survive on their own. Country roads are littered with the bodies of these pets.

I live in a small town -- with a population of fewer than 9,000 people -- yet our local veterinarians come together at least four times a year to offer discounted spaying, neutering and shots.

Payment schedules can be worked out sometimes, and sometimes they’ll even waive fees, depending on people’s income.

If you want to own a pet, do yourself and the pet a huge favor: Get the little critter fixed. Please do not add to the unwanted pets in the world. -- Animal Lover, Small Town, USA Dear Animal Lover: Hear! Hear!

HINTS FROM HELOISE ELOPE! Dear Heloise: My husband and I got married three weeks ago. After pricing weddings, gowns, reception expenses, flowers and more, we decided to elope. We married in Houston, and that afternoon we flew to Maui, Hawaii, for a seven-day honeymoon. When we got back, we had a party to let everyone know we’d gotten married, and sent out notices to relatives to inform them of our marriage. Unless someone really needs a big wedding, it’s less expensive and much more romantic to elope. By eloping, we saved $20,000 that we’ll put down on a cute little house we’ve found. -- Meg and Brian R. in Houston.

And readers, here’s another letter about weddings that was received the same day as the one above. -- Heloise TRAVEL LIGHTS Dear Heloise: I read your column in The Free Lance-Star here in Virginia and liked the tea-light idea for traveling. But it occurred to me that if you always kept your night light in your toiletry kit when you travel, you’d probably never lose it.

Night lights are now available with LED lights, which would eliminate the possibility of the bulb breaking in transit. -Matthew A., Locust Grove, Va. SAVING STORIES Dear Heloise: Often I’ll find an interesting story about someone or an event, and instead of saving the whole newspaper or magazine, I’ll remove just the pages with the article I enjoy, staple it together and file it away. My children and grandchildren love reading about events I lived through, such as the moonwalk, the Kennedy years, the Vietnam War, the civil-rights struggle and other major events. -- Diane S., Trenton, N.J.

On The Tube Louis C.K. says he misused his power and ‘brought pain’

By MARK KENNEDY AP Entertainment Writer NEW YORK (AP) — With his career imploding over allegations of sexual misconduct, comedian Louis C.K. confessed Friday to masturbating in front of women and expressed remorse for wielding his influence "irresponsibly."

The comedian said in a statement that the harassment claims by five women detailed in a New York Times report published Thursday "are true."

"I can hardly wrap my head around the scope of hurt I brought on them," he said.

"There is nothing about this that I forgive myself for," he wrote. "And I have to reconcile it with who I am. Which is nothing compared to the task I left them with."

He apologized to the cast and crew of several projects he's been working on, his family, children and friends, his manager and the FX network, among others.

The 438-word statement ends with the comedian vowing to stop talking and leave the spotlight, stating, "I will now step back and take a long time to listen."

The comedian stepped forward on the same day the indie distributor The Orchard said it will scrap the release of C.K.'s film "I Love You, Daddy." C.K. has already been edited out of the upcoming HBO benefit "Night of Too Many Stars" and his work is being scrubbed from the cable network's vaults.

More fallout came Friday when Netflix said it will not produce a second planned standup special starring the comedian, citing his "unprofessional and inappropriate behavior." He had been tapped for two specials, with the first airing in April.

At least five of the comedian's stand-up specials remain on Netflix.

In a further blow, FX Networks and FX Productions said they are ending their association with C.K., which means cancellation of a deal with his production company, Pig Newton, and removing him as executive producer on the four shows FX is making with him, including "Better Things," ''Baskets," ''One Mississippi" and "The Cops." His compensation is ended as well, FX said.

C.K. behaved professionally on all his series for FX, "as far as we know," according to a statement Friday.

"However, now is not the time for him to make television shows," FX said.

"Now is the time for him to honestly address the women who have come forth to speak about their painful experiences, a process which he began today with his public statement."

C.K. is the latest high-profile man caught in a flood of accusations that began after an October report in the New York Times alleging that Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein had sexually harassed or assaulted several women.

Others who face sexual harassment or assault accusations include "House of Cards" star Kevin Spacey and filmmaker Brett Ratner.

The widening allegations have also reached former "Gossip Girl" actor Ed Westwick. The BBC scrapped a TV series in the wake of rape allegations against Westwick. The broadcaster also paused filming on the 1980s-set sitcom "White Gold," which stars Westwick. He has been accused of raping two women, charges he denies. On Instagram, he called the allegations "unverified and provably untrue."

"ER" actor Anthony Edwards revealed that he was molested when he was 12 by

director and producer Gary Goddard. In a post Friday on Medium, Edwards said he's been in therapy for years over the assault and confronted Goddard over it 22 years ago at an airport. Goddard, he said, "swore to his remorse." Attorney Alan Grodin, a lawyer for Goddard, said Goddard has been out of the country and "will have a response shortly."

Actor Jeremy Piven also took to social media to once again declare his innocence of sexual misconduct, saying on Twitter he hopes the string of sexual harassment allegations will lead to "a constructive dialogue on these issues" but warned about "false accusations."

"We seem to be entering dark times — allegations are being printed as facts and lives are being put in jeopardy without a hearing, due process or evidence. I hope we can give people the benefit of the doubt before we rush to judgment," he wrote.

Piven, who has been accused by two women of sexual misconduct, faces a fresh accusation made against him from an advertising executive. Tiffany Bacon Scourby told People magazine that Piven held her down while he performed a sex act at a hotel 14 years ago.

The crisis has also roiled the world of journalism, with editors at The New Republic and NPR losing their jobs. The latest accusation involved Rolling Stone: Ben Ryan, a freelance writer, accused the magazine's publisher, Jann Wenner, of sexual harassment, saying Wenner offered a writing contract if Ryan spent the night at the publisher's Manhattan townhouse. Wenner acknowledges he did attempt to have a sexual liaison but denied offering a writing contract for sex.

NASCAR THIS WEEK

TEXAS

SPEED FREAKS A few questions we had to ask ourselves Who joins Truex Jr., Kyle and Kevin in the final four?

GODSPEAK: I’d like to see Chase win one, but Keselowski’s points cushion will be the deciding factor.

KEN’S CALL: It wouldn’t shock me if Hamlin won at Phoenix, but I’m going with the odds (and points) and saying Kez.

How deep into the 2018 season before we see Matt Kenseth behind the wheel again?

GODSPEAK: I have bad news for those legions of Kenseth fans: He has two Cup races left in his career.

KEN’S CALL: Nope, he’s done. And he’ll love the free time. The odds of a driver in a good car needing future relief ... pretty long.

C U P S TA N D I N G S 1. Martin Truex Jr. 2. Kyle Busch 3. Kevin Harvick 4. Brad Keselowski 5. Denny Hamlin 6. Ryan Blaney 7. Chase Elliott 8. Jimmie Johnson 9. Kyle Larson 9. Matt Kenseth 11. Kurt Busch 12. Kasey Kahne

The Daytona Beach News-Journal’s Godwin Kelly & Ken Willis have covered NASCAR for nearly 60 years combined. godwin.kelly@news-jrnl.com ken.willis@news-jrnl.com

QUESTIONS & AT T I T U D E Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

THREE THINGS WE LEARNED 1. Harvick happens Kevin Harvick outplayed 1.5-mile oval master Martin Truex Jr. at Texas to earn a spot in the Championship Round. Truex has six wins on those mile-and-a-half tracks this season. “To be able to pass the No. 78 car for the win is something that is huge for our confidence,” Harvick said.

Racers and their teams always worry. But in terms of the final weekend in Homestead, while Kevin Harvick is now an official contender, the biggest threat for Martin Truex Jr. remains the No. 18 of Kyle Busch. Truex lost Sunday — on a 1.5-mile track, by the way — because his car got loose near the end of long runs.

That, more than any fellow contender, is something the team should worry about. But the No. 78 is still the team to beat.

2. Kenseth battles

Is the Jimmie dynasty ending?

Matt Kenseth said this will likely be his last year as a Cup Series driver, but he went down fighting at Texas. The 45-year-old driver led 29 laps and finished fourth. “We got to the end, we had a good car when we got to get up through there pretty quick,” he said of his Texas run.

It looks bad for 2017 right now, and frankly he’s gone one round deeper in the playoffs than we thought he would.

He’s finished no better than 11th in the past month and last won at Phoenix in 2009. In a big-picture sense, however, don’t count out an eighth championship in the future.

Remember, he won his seventh last year after finishing 11th and 10th the two previous seasons.

3. Tres DNF Kyle Larson remains ninth in points despite three consecutive DNFs, including back-to-back wrecks at Martinsville and Texas.

“It’s frustrating because I know I had the best car,” Larson said. “Can’t wait for the last lap at Homestead.”

FEUD OF THE WEEK

Kevin Harvick beat Martin Truex Jr. at his own game by winning Texas and heads to Phoenix and Homestead flush with confidence.

[AP/LARRY PAPKE]

THREE THINGS TO WATCH

MARTIN TRUEX JR. VS. TREVOR BAYNE: Truex said Bayne and another lapped driver were racing side by side late in the race, which allowed Kevin Harvick to catch and pass him for the win at Texas.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: Truex called the unnamed driver, who was racing Bayne, “some other dummy,” and said they cost him the win at Texas. “I got loose, Harvick jumped to my outside,” Truex said.

1. One left

W H AT ’ S O N TA P

Kyle Busch won at Martinsville. Kevin Harvick got the victory at Texas. Martin Truex Jr. has enough points in the bank to advance no matter what happens this week. That means five other playoff drivers will battle for the final Championship Round position at Phoenix. It is a must-win situation for some drivers, while Brad Keselowski, Denny Hamlin and Ryan Blaney can battle to get in on points.

CUP SERIES: Can-Am 500 SITE: Phoenix International Raceway (1-mile oval) TV SCHEDULE: Friday, practice (NBC Sports Network, 12:45 p.m.), qualifying (NBCSN, 6:30 p.m.). Saturday, practice (NBCSN, 11:30 a.m. and 2 p.m.). Sunday, race (NBC, coverage begins at 1:30 p.m.; green flag, 3 p.m.)

2. No Chevys?

Should Truex Jr. be worried?

Chase Elliott, who has never won a Cup Series race, and Jimmie Johnson, the defending Cup Series champion, are Chevrolet’s last two hopes of making the Championship Round. One of them must win at Phoenix to advance to the title race. “To work this hard and not see any speed go back in the car, and have bad results the last three weeks, is pretty disappointing,” said Johnson, who finished 27th Sunday.

3. Backsliding Earnhardt finished 33rd Sunday at Texas. Not Dale Earnhardt Jr., but his nephew Jeffrey. Dale

Jr. finished 35th. He is giving his enormous fan base little to cheer as his Cup Series career comes to a close this season. “I mean, the car ran about 11th to 20th all weekend in all the practices and everything,” he said. “I don’t know, we’ve got to get a little bit better to beat some of them guys up there.”
