MassDOT secretary Davey to step down

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2014
By Peter Francis Staff Writer BOSTON — Richard Davey, the former head of the MBTA, is stepping down as the state’s transportation secretary at the end of the month, Gov. Deval Patrick announced Friday. “(Davey) has been a key member of my team and one of the finest transportation leaders the Richard Commonwealth has Davey ever had,” Patrick said in announcing Davey’s resignation. “He has been instrumental in our work to provide every region of this state with a safer, more efficient transportation system, a growing economy and a better quality of life.” State highway administrator Frank DePaola will serve as acting secretary of transportation for the remainder of Patrick’s term, which ends in January. A Boston resident, Davey was the general manager of the Massachusetts Bay Commuter Rail Company, the state’s former commuter rail contractor, before being named general manager of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority in 2010. In September 2011, Patrick appointed Davey to succeed Jeffrey Mullan in the cabinet-level post which also includes the title of chief executive of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT). In a statement, Davey said he was proud to have worked with the governor to focus the agency on safety, fiscal responsibility and customer service and public service and take steps that have “renewed the public’s confidence in transportation.” Davey led the administration’s push for a 2013 transportation financing law that is designed to ease a maintenance backlog on the state’s roads and bridges and help pave the way for major new projects, including South Coast commuter rail and the extension of the MBTA’s Green Line. The law also ended a long-standing practice of borrowing money to pay the salaries of some MassDOT workers. Despite strong opposition from many bus and subway riders, Davey in 2012 backed an average 23 percent increase in fares that helped eliminate a $140 million deficit at the T. More recently, he has been outspoken in his opposition to Question 1 on the Nov. 4 ballot, which seeks to repeal a provision in the 2013 law that ties increases in the state’s gasoline tax to inflation.

CPC holds information session By Peter Francis Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – The Community Preservation Committee (CPC) for the town of Southwick held an informational session Thursday night for residents to reacclimate themselves with the town’s participation in the Community Preservation Act (CPA). First adopted by the town in 2002, the CPA was enacted under Governor Paul Cellucci in 2000 to set aside funds to assist towns with open space preservation; historic sites; affordable housing; and the acquisition and development of outdoor recreational facilities. Over the past year, Southwick’s Board of Selectmen came to the conclusion that, 12 years after first adopting the CPA, a review might be in order, a sentiment shared by the town’s Finance Committee, which voted Monday night to bring it to a vote at the annual Town Meeting. “We’ve held two work sessions and at the completion of our second session, we felt it was a good thing to hold this informational session,” said Selectboard Chair Russell Fox. “To give the voters of Southwick the opportunity to see what’s been accomplished over 12 years.” John Whalley, chair of the CPC, spoke up prior to a presentation by CPC Vice Chair Dennis Clark. “If you want to save a couple percent off the tax rate, cut it somewhere else because we’ve gotten a $7 million return on what we’ve paid into it,” said Whalley, directing his statement at Fox and Tracy Cesan, the two selectmen in attendance. Clark used a PowerPoint presentation to illustrate to the almost 30 people in attendance the impact the CPA has had on the community, listing 23 completed or still in-progress projects the CPA has assisted in over 12 years. The projects cost the town $1,982,516.30, provided through an additional tax of three percent, which the state matched up to $1,310,019.50. Southwick received $4,901,250 in additional state monies for the 23 projects and received $628,465.91 in donations. All told, the total costs for the 23 projects came to $8,821,458.91, a figure that members of the CPC believe speaks for itself. “For less than $2 million, we have all of these projects which probably wouldn’t have gotten done,” said Whalley following the presentation. “The return on this money is just unbelievable.” Following the presentation, the residents who
spoke up were resoundingly in favor of keeping the CPA intact. “I plan on living in Southwick for another 10 years and would then like to sell my house and would like the resale value to be pretty high,” said Harold Keep, a town retiree. “I believe any community that invests in itself and multiplies the money it invests in itself – ala state money – is going to be a community people want to live in. I happily would pay that CPC at three percent over the next 10 years.” “We made no recommendation one way or another to rescind, reapprove, or change the tax percent. The thing we’re concerned about is what is coming up in the future,” said Terry Mish of the town’s Finance Committee. “There appears to be some additional tax increases coming up with the school and the possibility of this new stormwater unfunded mandate from the EPA (Environmental Protection Act).” Mish reiterated that the committee didn’t make a recommendation to keep or cut the CPA, which didn’t sit well with Clark, who also took issue with the fact that there were no other members of the Finance Committee in the attendance due to there being another meeting scheduled at the same time. “We’re looking at budgets all the time. This started in 2002, we’re going into 2015… things have changed,” said Fox, referencing the school building projects, the unfunded stormwater mandate and additional costs, including the need to purchase a new fire truck within the next five years at a cost of $1 million. “These are all the things we’re looking at, in addition to annual increases in insurance, in electric, in heating,” he said. “We’re not trying to be the bad guys. All we’re trying to say is that we’re a community, we have to look at the whole picture. I think this is a tremendous program, but the board of selectmen wouldn’t be doing it’s job if we didn’t review this. If it’s a good project and the people believe in it, they’ll vote for it again.” Conservation Commission member Marcus Phelps distributed a memo on the value of protecting open space. “A lot of the CPA money has gone towards protecting open space through the purchase of development rights, so it is important to realize that, currently we have limited information on how much open space is in the town,” he said. “Our 2012 open See CPC, Page 3
By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Community Preservation Commission will resume its review of a funding request for preservation of the City Clerk archive of historical documents, some dating back to the founding of the city in 1669. City Clerk Karen Fanion appeared before the CPC in August with a request that the board approve $120,000 to begin preservation, and digitization, of the historic documents kept in the vault in her office. “These records date back to 1669, the founding of Westfield,” Fanion said at the August meeting. “They include birth, marriage, death and land transaction records. These are permanent records. We can never get rid of them.” “We need to have these records so they can be used in the future,” Fanion said. “Some of the books which need to be restored have mold and mildew. These (documents) are very interesting, very valuable to the city. “There is a lot of water damage, some have insects in them, they need to be cleaned up and preserved,” Fanion said. “A record of the Old Burying Grounds was stuck between two books. It’s so fragile that we don’t want to touch it until it’s restored.” Fanion said that part of the project is digitizing the documents for a back-up electronic See Archive, Page 3
Police seek suspect By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – City detectives are hoping to identify a male party who allegedly assaulted a female student in a parking lot late Saturday or early Sunday morning. Det. Daniel Gustafson reports that a female student complained Wednesday of the assault and said that she had first encountered the man at a party she had attended when he groped her and was asked to leave. The woman said that when she left the party she encountered the man again in the Main Street parking lot between the Bank of America and the Subway restaurant and he again touched her. When she pushed him away, the woman told Gustafson, the man punched her forcefully, knocking her to the ground. The woman said that in the next days she suffered migraine headaches and blurred vision. Believing the woman to be concussed, a detective took her to a medical facility for treatment. The victim described the suspect to be a Caucasian male, five foot ten inches tall who is in his late teens or early 20s with short brown hair and a beard. She said that the man has broad shoulders and an athletic build. Anyone who witnessed the incident or may be able to identify the suspect is asked to call Gustafson or Det. Roxann Bradley of the Detective Bureau at 572-6400.
Pond improvements lauded at meeting By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Members of the Hampton Ponds Neighborhood Improvement Project met in March, 2013, and defined areas of concern around the ponds. On Thursday evening, the group met again to review the progress made and consider future endeavors. Chris Patten, a co-chairperson for the project, explained “The biggest obstacle was that Westfield police did not have jurisdiction on the state property” but went on to say that shared jurisdiction was negotiated “and that has been a lifesaver” she said. That change has allowed city police to patrol Old Apremont Way, the boat ramp and other areas in and around the state park. That breakthrough was further exploited when city
police were able to buy a used pontoon boat and were able to equip it for pond patrols. Sgt. Michael Cehchile, the commander of the new marine patrol team, was at the meeting Thursday with subordinates including Officer Allen S. Magdycz who reported on the efforts of the boat patrol officers. Magdycz noted that 30 officers have been trained for the boat patrol which was on the ponds every weekend in July and August. He said that, during the 16 eight-hour patrols over the summer, officers inspected 65 vessels, issued nine warning citations, towed three boats and made two arrests. Magdzcz credited Environmental Police for their invaluable assistance in training officers and making shore-based inspections and enforcement of the regulations which are now posted at
the boat ramp. Patten also credited much of the improvement at the park to the additional police presence made possible by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation which was represented by district manager Dom Sacco. Patten pointed out that, while officers were on the water every weekend, detail officers funded by DCR were on the shore. Two officer details, comprised of both city and state officers, were visible at the park each weekend, together with Environmental Police offices as available. Sacco said that the police details worked well during the summer and will continue next year. “I anticipate us continuing the law enforcement details … it was a great year, both in the park and on the water,” he

said. He also said that DCR will continue to make improvements to the boat ramp and repairs on Old Apremont way.
Both police officers and residents said that the boat patrols made a big difference. “We saw a big difference out there,” Magdycz said.
“When we first started it was a free-for-all out there. There were jet skis and personal See Meeting, Page 7

Eagle Scout project helps preserve history WESTFIELD — Recently the Boy Scouts of Troop 821, out of the Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament Parish, completed a community service project to help The Westfield Historic Commission and “The Old Burial Ground.” Led by Eagle Scout candidate Steven Cole, the boys repaired historic headstones that have fallen or were leaning and in danger of further damage. Some of the headstones date back to the 1600s and bear the names of Westfield streets, schools, parks and hospital. Armed with gardening tools, proper training and delicate hands, the troop restored dozens of leaning and fallen headstones that were subject to further decay from the elements. The labors of Steven Cole and Troop 821 are a precursor to the professional restoration efforts that are forthcoming through a grant from the Westfield Community Preservation Committee.

Spiders force family from of upscale Missouri home WELDON SPRING, Mo. (AP) — A family was driven from their suburban St. Louis home by thousands of venomous spiders that fell from the ceiling and oozed from the walls. Brian and Susan Trost bought the $450,000 home overlooking two golf holes at Whitmoor Country Club in Weldon Spring in October 2007 and soon afterward started seeing brown recluse spiders everywhere, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported (http://bit.ly/ ZToLma ). Once when showering, Susan Trost dodged a spider as it fell from the ceiling and washed down the drain. She told St. Louis television station KMOVTV in 2012 the spiders “started bleeding out of the walls,” and at least two pest control companies were unable to eradicate the infestation. The couple filed a claim in 2008 with their insurance company, State Farm, and a lawsuit against the home’s previous owners for not disclosing the brown recluse problem. At a civil trial in St. Charles County in
October 2011, University of Kansas biology professor Jamel Sandidge — considered one of the nation’s leading brown recluse researchers — estimated there were between 4,500 and 6,000 spiders in the home. Making matters worse, he said, those calculations were made in the winter when the spiders are least active. The jury awarded the couple slightly more than $472,000, but the former owners declared bankruptcy, the insurance company still didn’t pay anything and the couple moved out two years ago. The home, now owned by the Federal National Mortgage Association, was covered with nine tarps this week and workers filled it with a gas that permeated the walls to kill the spiders and their eggs. “There’ll be nothing alive in there after this,” said Tim McCarthy, president of the company hired to fix the problem once and for all.

PVMTM takes a look back at the city’s automobile manufacturing WESTFIELD — Stuff you may not know that we at the museum think is interesting! While Westfield and our close neighboring cities are not currently regarded as a hotbed of automotive design it was not always so. Actually there have been no fewer than forty nine companies set up to design and or manufacture automobiles here in Westfield, Chicopee, Holyoke and Springfield.
In Westfield alone there were three. The Loomis Automobile Co. established by Gilbert Loomis in 1896, started out with a steam car but changed to building gasoline motor cars in 1900. In 1901 Charles J. Moore set up C.J. Moore Manufacturing Co., offering the Westfield Steam car, a two cylinder steam carriage, but her too saw the writing on the wall. Charles began offering a car powered by a 16
hp gasoline motor in 1903. In August of 1915 the Westfield Manufacturing Co. was organized to produce motor cars. Although it did not, its attention being diverted to other manufacturing purposes. All the information above was gleaned from the second edition of the Standard Catalog of American Cars,1989, compiled and written by Beverly Rae Kimes and Henry Austin Clark
Jr. For more information visit our website at www.PVMTM.org ——— Pioneer Valley Military & Transportation Museum is located at Westfield - Barnes Airport in Westfield, MA. PVMTM is a nonprofit 501(c)3 educational museum-to-be preserving and presenting all forms of military transportation.

Continued from Page 1 space plan shows that 16 percent of the land is protecting open space. The remaining portion – 84 percent – is unprotected.” Phelps added that open space costs the town 25 cents in services for every dollar collected in taxes, while residential properties cost $1.12. “Of course, people have to have places to live,” he said. “But open space saves money.” “We’re the westernmost Connecticut River Valley farmland. This is our ‘homeland security,’” said Jocelyn Linnekin, chair of Southwick’s Agricultural Commission. “You can grow anything in this dirt. When you let Southwick land go to McMansions, housing developments and strip malls… what we have here is homeland security – a bank of land that can be put toward productive use.” “As a selectman, I look at it and say ‘yes, it’s an easy thing to cut,’” said Cesan, adding she’s supported Whalley Park and other CPA projects. “We’ve gotten wonderful things from it, those things don’t go away.” Cesan declined to say whether she’s for or against keeping the CPA, but encouraged meeting attendees to come to other meetings to become more educated on taxation. “I thought we had a great turnout with great feedback and positive comments,” said Clark after the meeting. “I was disappointed that the Finance Committee decided to take a
Archive
Continued from Page 1 record, but added that “researchers can find digital records, but often need to confirm that the original document still exists. “Some of these documents are so bad that they can’t be digitized until they’ve been restored,” Fanion said. The committee members declined to approve that funding at the August meeting because of concern that the documents, when returned to the vault, would begin to deteriorate, requesting that Fanion work with City Purchaser Tammy Tefft to get estimates for installing environmental controls inside the vault. Thursday night Fanion returned with a revised funding request which included installation of an environmental control system needed to preserve and protect the archives. The revised request jumped to $271,804 for the environmental controls in addition to the document restoration and digitizing work and installation of shelving designed not to damage the old documents. Commissioner Vincent Olinski asked Fanion if the city had looked for other sources of funding, such as a state grant for historical record preservation. Commissioner William Porter asked if the new shelving will increase the storage capacity in the clerk’s vault. Fanion said the new shelving will increase storage capacity, and that her office is removing “everyday records” to create additional space for the archive documents. Fanion said there are four vaults in the addition to City Hall and that when the Senior Center is completed, the Veterans Agent is moving to the center. “We will then have access to the vault in the basement, as well,” Fanion said. Fanion asked that the board make a decision because it will take several months to get the environmental control vendors under contract and for the work to begin. The Community Preservation Committee meets quarterly, which would delay the start of the document restoration and installation of environmental control until 2015 because the procurement process cannot start until a funding source is in place. “We want the environmental controls in place before we put the documents back in the vault,” Fanion said. Restoration of the documents will be done in Vermont and will require at least four months. CPC Chairman Joe Muto said he was not comfortable with making a decision Thursday night and asked for time to study the proposal Fanion had submitted. Muto suggested that the committee conduct a special meeting to specifically decide on the document preservation funding. The board voted to meet on Nov. 13 to discussion the appropriation request.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR An Open Letter to Tom Velis Dear Tom, fifty eight years ago, when I arrived in this blessed land, you, dear Tom, were the first person who met me in Westfield. You were the first to tell me that learning the English language is the most necessary prerequisite for becoming an American citizen and for having a realistic pursuit for gainful employment. I listened to your words with uninterrupted attention because you inspired me and, after hearing of your humble background, you became for me a source of energy and inspiration in my heart of hearts. I thanked you then and I shall remain appreciative for the balance of my natural life. However, dear Tom, the purpose of this brief letter aims to reach you and Helen, your wife, in heaven and to convey, along with my profound appreciation, my heartfelt personal joy and warmest congratulations: Your grandson John Velis has been elected a state representative and, at this time, he is running a successful campaign for re-election! What a pride and what happiness must overflow from your soul and spirit! From your lofty position in heaven, you have watched the fulfillment of your prayers and aspiration for the success and progress of your descendants. Your older son, a Superior Court Justice, a daughter and another son successful in professional fields, and now your grandson, John Velis, a Bronze Star veteran, is in the service of the Commonwealth’s General Court and Westfield’s own Honorable State Representative! Obviously, Tom, you and Helen instilled in your three children the highest of virtues: You instilled in their hearts the value of education, the deep-seated devotion to honesty, and the love of our great country. Undoubtedly, those virtues forged John Velis’ personality. John’s military service in Afghanistan and his being a Bronze Star veteran exemplify the highest standards of integrity. Those great qualities Representative John Velis brings now and will continue bringing after his re-election to the House of Representatives in Boston. While discussing American History with your grandson, he made reference to the following quotation by George Washington: “I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.” My friend Tom, in today’s political climate, isn’t it a breath of fresh air and of great hope hearing your grandson quoting George Washington’s unshaken dedication to honesty? I am certain that John’s character is that of an honest man as well. John’s virtue of honesty will enable people to invigorate their confidence in our state’s government. Dear Tom, I didn’t mean to disturb your eternal rest but I felt I had to write this letter thanking you for what you did for me. Most importantly, however, I am writing to thank you and Helen for being the progenitors of Representative John Velis. Please, pray to The Lord to continue His Divine protection and the plethora of His blessings upon your grandson for the benefit of all people. Thank you, George A. Varelas
Facebook-linked group drops $1M on Shaheen By Seung Min Kim Politico.com The advocacy group with ties to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is pumping nearly $1 million to boost Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen in her reelection bid in New Hampshire. The Council for American Job Growth, an affiliate of the Zuckerberg group FWD.us, will start running a new ad Friday that highlights Shaheen’s work in Congress on veterans issues. Shaheen is running in a competitive race against Republican Scott Brown, a former senator from Massachusetts. Though FWD.us and its affiliates primarily advocate for comprehensive immigration reform, the ad bolstering Shaheen doesn’t mention immigration at all. Instead, the ad — called “A Lot” — features three veterans praising Shaheen for her work on legislation that overhauled the Department of Veterans Affairs. “There’s a lot of veterans in New Hampshire that have to travel hours to see a doctor at the VA,” says Iraq veteran Allen Aldenberg in the 30-second ad. Another Iraq veteran, Bradley Newbery, adds: “Jeanne Shaheen did something about that.” The ad buy is just under $1 million, and it’ll run for at least 10 days, sources said. Brown has repeatedly attacked Shaheen over immigration, accusing her of supporting so-called amnesty and seizing on this summer’s border crisis in his comeback bid. Shaheen, like all Senate Democrats, voted for the immigration overhaul bill that passed in June 2013. But she has been critical of the Obama administration’s plans to act on its own on immigration, and she sided with Republicans on a controversial procedural vote last month that became a referendum on President Barack Obama’s pending executive actions.
$750 million in Ebola funding approved By Jeremy Herb Politico.com Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe has lifted his objections to the Obama administration’s request for Ebola funding, allowing the Pentagon to spend up to $750 million on its fight against the deadly virus. The House Armed Services and House Appropriations committees had already allowed $750 million of the administration’s $1 billion funding request to move forward on Thursday after administration briefings, but Inhofe, the ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, still had unanswered questions. On Friday, Inhofe said his concerns about the long-term funding for the Ebola fight have not eased, but he would allow the $750 million to go forward. “Because of the failure of the Obama administration to responsibly and strategically plan in advance for how the U.S. will be involved in West Africa, it will be difficult for me to support any further last-minute funding requests using military resources,” Inhofe said in a statement. “That is why I have insisted another more appropriate funding source be identified for operations beyond six months.”
Most of the $1 billion request was initially held up by three of the four defense committees, which are required to sign off under a budget process called reprogramming that allows the Defense Department to shift funds. The Senate Armed Services Committee had limited spending to $100 million until it had received more information about the Pentagon’s plans to keep troops safe and how the mission will be funded. An aide to the committee’s chairman, Sen. Carl Levin, said the senator had no personal objections to the Ebola funding request, which means that Inhofe’s decision will allow $750 million of the funding request to be cleared. Inhofe said the administration still has not offered a plan for how the long-term mission will be transitioned to other government agencies and nongovernment groups when this funding runs out. The administration has requested the $1 billion to deploy U.S. troops to Liberia to set up infrastructure and treatment facilities in support of U.S. Agency for International Development. The Pentagon has acknowledged some risk to troops being exposed to Ebola, but said it’s taking all the precautions it can to ensure troops do not contract the disease.

watercraft doing in excess of 65 miles an hour.” Magdycz said that many boaters had not known the regulations. “A lot of people now have fire extinguishers and life vests and their underage kids are wearing them,” he said after the inspections and distribution of pamphlets delineating the rules and requirements. He said that boaters have appreciated the change and quoted a boater who approached him while on patrol and said “I would never come here on the weekends and I would never bring my kids here. Now I feel I can come any time.” “We have noticed a huge huge difference with your presence,” said Janet Sanuita of Southampton from the audience. “It’s been awesome.” Members of the audience commented on trash and debris in the boat ramp area and asked if trash barrels could be provided. Sacco said that DCR policy is “carry in, carry out” and Patten and others said that emptying trash barrels is a problem as city refuse truck may not collect on state property. Chechile pointed out that overflowing refuse barrels invite more trash to be left behind and Sacco mentioned that barrels often attract outside debris but he said he would investigate options for removing trash. Magdycz said he has contacted the probation department and said that probationers who are required to perform community service may be available to clean up the area from time to time. The consensus at the meeting was that clean up by community members will not only remove existing litter but, by setting a good example, new litter will be reduced. Several speakers including Patten, Magdycz and City Councilor Chris Crean encouraged residents to be vocal and to call to report problems. “Calling is really the most important thing,” Patten said. “It has to do with allocating funds, and hiring people to perform these duties and it has to be justified with the calls.” State Rep. John Velis urged residents to contact him “particularly around the budget time, in April” because “at the end of the day, a lot of the funding for a lot of these programs, it’s not coming from the city, it’s going to come from Boston and Beacon Hill.” He said that he and State Sen. Don Humason (who was unable to attend due to another obligation) will “go after these funds.” Jack Patten pointed out that there is a fund named

He encouraged contributions to the fund saying, as the previous owner of the boat, “It needs a new motor.” The meeting ended with a standing ovation for the law enforcement officials who have enabled the improvements at the ponds and their sentiment was verbalized by an anonymous voice from the crowd saying “Thank you for giving us our pond back.”
Davey
Continued from Page 1
Davey is departing government to spend time with his wife, travel abroad and explore new career opportunities. DePaola, who has successfully led the MassDOT Highway Division since April 2011, will replace Davey. DePaola is a civil engineer who worked for two years as the Assistant General Manager for Design and Construction at the MBTA prior to his appointment. He has vast experience in government and infrastructure, having worked for the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, Boston Water and Sewer Commission and Harvard University. He holds an MS in Civil Engineering from Northeastern University and a BS in Civil Engineering from the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth. DePaola lives in West Bridgewater with his wife. In greater Westfield, Davey’s work has led to some triumphs, most notably his overseeing of the completion of the Great River Bridge project in 2012 and the Pochassic Street Bridge earlier this year. Other projects, chief among them the state’s continued neglect of a promise to purchase land held by the Western Massacusetts Electric Company (WMECO) to extend Route 57 west of Southwick, have left something to still be desired. “We are at a major crossroads in the way we fund our trans-
portation system,” Davey said at a February event in Holyoke. “The need for improvements will always be greater than the resources available.” “We fully understand the regional economic value this project has,” he added, referring to the route 57 extension. “With that in mind, we will explore whether there are any smaller, incremental steps we can possibly take in the meantime.” Near the start of the year, DePaola sent a letter to WMECO saying he was “not interested” in expanding the highway at that time, leaving residents to wonder if the project will ever be fullfilled. In addition, the soon-to-be former transportation secretary spoke in February of the state possibly looking into currently unplanned projects, such as implementing an exit between Lee and Westfield that would serve residents of the the western hilltowns of Hampden County on the Massachusetts Turnpike, a project that would be funded by revenue from implementing the tolls between Exits 1 and 6 on the pike. “It’s perfectly appropriate to have that discussion,” Davey said. “The tolls on Exits 1 through 6 were put back in to pay for projects like this.”

Candidate has right to meet voters at store By DENISE LAVOIE AP Legal Affairs Writer BOSTON (AP) — Candidates for public office in Massachusetts have the right to collect nominating signatures outside supermarkets, the highest court ruled Friday in a decision that expands the rights of candidates on commercial private property. The Supreme Judicial Court ruled that Steven Glovsky was able to show that he had a right to collect signatures outside a Roche Brothers supermarket under a section of the state constitution that guarantees equal access to the ballot. In 2012, Glovsky, then a candidate for a seat on the Governor’s Council, sued after the manager of a Roche Bros. store in Westwood said he could not collect signatures. A Superior Court judge dismissed Glovsky’s lawsuit, and the high court heard his appeal. In its ruling, the SJC expanded the reach of a 1983 decision, which found that a political candidate has the right to solicit nomination signatures in the common areas of the Northshore Mall. The court found then that large malls are public gathering places that have taken the place of traditional downtowns, so candidates have the right to collect signatures in common areas. The SJC said in its ruling Friday that it disagrees with Roche Brothers’ argument that privately owned land just outside the entrance to a supermarket should be considered differently than the common areas of a shopping mall. “In many rural and suburban communities, the local supermarket may serve as one of the few places in which an individual soliciting signatures would be able to approach members of the public in large numbers,” Justice Fernande “Nan” Duffly wrote for the majority. Glovsky said he’s thrilled with the decision. “Now candidates will be able to stand in front of their local supermarket and gather nominating signatures freely and with peace of mind in doing so,” Glovsky said. “That is a tremendous result and benefit for all future people interested in getting involved in state politics.” Roche Brothers declined to comment.

By Chris Putz Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Westfield High School football team silenced critics and put to rest a turbulent week with one fell swoop. Westfield sophomore quarterback Austin St. Pierre threw for more than 200 yards and two touchdowns – both of which went to senior Cody Neidig, who also scored on a special teams play – and the Bombers pushed the unbeaten Longmeadow Lancers to the limit in a 47-26 loss Friday night at Bullens Field. It was the coaching debut for Robert Parent, who stepped in as Westfield’s interim coach following head coach Rocco Fernandez’s stunning resignation last Sunday. Longmeadow (5-0) opened the game with a textbook nineplay, 77-yard drive that culminated with a 3-yard touchdown run from senior running back Conrad McCarthy with 7:47 remaining in the first quarter. The lead was short-lived. Westfield struck back on the ensuing kickoff as Neidig hauled in the kick from about the 21-yard line, slipped past a couple of Longmeadow players, bounced to the outside, and raced up the sideline untouched for the score. Longmeadow responded. On the following possession, Longmeadow chewed up some more clock with another long drive – 60 yards to be exact – and punched it in on a one-yard keeper from junior quarterback Scott Elder with 3:48 left in the first quarter. Westfield responded soon thereafter. After Longmeadow scored, Westfield marched the length of the field, moving the ball all the way from its own 35-yard line, and into the Longmeadow red zone before a dropped pass on a St. Pierre throw deflected off the hands of a Bomber and into the arms of a Lancer. Westfield forced a punt on Longmeadow’s next drive, took over on its own 44, and drove 56 yards in six plays. The Bombers scored on St. Pierre’s beautiful 18-yard touchdown throw to Neidig with 6:57 remaining in the second quarter to tie the game 13-all. Now it was Longmeadow’s turn. The Lancers reclaimed the lead with 4:23 left in the half on a one-yard run from senior running back Noah Hurwitz. Hurwitz took the handoff, bounced outside and followed a steady stream of blockers into the end zone for a 19-13 lead. The extra point made it 20-13. Westfield avoided a late Longmeadow score just before halftime when a 27-yard touchdown throw from senior quarterback Connor Ostrander to junior wide receiver Max Rye was called back on a holding penalty. If anyone doubted whether Westfield could weather the storm of the Longmeadow Lancers, the first play from the line of scrimmage answered that question. Following the second half kickoff, senior fullback Craig Ward took the handoff on the first play up the middle, shook off an initial tackle and eluded the grasp of a member of the Longmeadow secondary to rumbled 63 yards for a touchdown. Longmeadow fought back with one of its trademark drives. The Lancers ate up chunks of yards and time before finally scoring on Hurwitz’s 12-yard touchdown run with 7:32 remaining in the third quarter to go ahead 27-20. On Westfield’s next drive, St. Pierre connected on a spectacular 60-yard scoring strike with Neidig. Neidig hauled in the ball about 30 yards past the line of scrimmage, in stride, streaking past two defensive backs for the score with 5:37 on the clock. Longmeadow quickly made it a two-touchdown game, scoring on a 10-yard run from junior running back Dominic Santaniello and – following the recovery of a gutsy onsides kick – a 43-yard touchdown run from Elder, who bounced outside the initial wave of defense and raced into the end zone. Although the onside kick proved to be a game-changer, it did

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers
HOT TOPICS: 3 ISSUES GENERATING A BUZZ
SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves
AP/ED ZURGA
Brad Keselowski knows it only takes one win to advance. Yikes! What happened at Kansas?
Trouble came out of the blue
Jimmie, Kez, Junior … Are they really in danger?
Blame the teams?
GODSPEAK: At least one of them won’t make it out of the pothole they found at Kansas. KEN’S CALL: Absolutely. For now. But get back to me after this Sunday.
Of course. A Goodyear official at Kansas said there were no tire issues during Sunday’s first green-flag cycle, and suggested that … well … you know … just maybe some of those teams made adjustments to the cars that were a tad too aggressive for Sunday’s particular tire recipe. Yes, he may be right, but it’s a predictable response. Also predictable: The drivers denied that their teams dialed up the aggression.

Busy week in Goodyear’s public-relations department? No, not really. The Boys in Akron have been around auto racing for many decades and have seen practically everything it can offer, so a few tire failures in Kansas won’t send them into a panic. Maybe the engineers in the back rooms will do some collective head-scratching and possibly sharpen their pencils, but the public faces of Goodyear simply reach into a shirt pocket and pull out an index card full of potential reasons for blown tires.
GODSPEAK: See how one batch of bad tires can spoil the party? Junior suggested the tires were recaps. KEN’S CALL: It looks like the law of averages made its yearly quota on a single Sunday afternoon.

Sure, they all look alike, but they all don’t behave the same.

Jimmie Johnson’s crew might have to find a win under that hood unless things dramatically turn around this week at Charlotte. Jimmie Johnson doesn’t believe in racing superstitions, but he asked Lowe’s for permission to switch from a new white design back to his bluecoated Chevy … um, just in case. The blue hue didn’t work Sunday at Kansas Speedway. Johnson got into a multicar wreck on Lap 85 and finished 40th. “Definitely disappointing, but not much I can do,” Johnson said in the garage area as his No. 48 sat crumpled. “If I can put any blame anywhere, it would be on our qualifying effort on Friday. If you are going to be in the back in qualifying, you are putting yourself in harm’s way, and today is proof of that.” Johnson wasn’t the only Hendrick Motorsports driver who struggled Sunday. Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished 39th, while Kasey Kahne was 22nd after tire problems. The leader of the Hendrick pack was Jeff Gordon, who rallied to finish a meager 14th after tangling with Jamie McMurray. There are two more races left in the Contender Round before the three-race Eliminator Round. There are 12 drivers left in the playoffs. As they stand now, Gordon is on the Chase bubble, tied for seventh place with Kahne in ninth. Earnhardt and Johnson are outside the cut line. “There is still a lot of racing left,” Johnson said. “Stuff can happen. We’ll see how the other Chas-

ers fare. If I can get taken out today, somebody else can at Charlotte. We’ll do our best to get on track and then certainly need W’s, I would assume, going forward.”
FEUD OF THE WEEK
TRUEX SURGE Since being eliminated from the Chase when the regular season ended, Martin Truex Jr. has surged in performance. Since the playoffs began four races ago, Truex has an average finish of 9.25. During the four-race span, he has had finishes of 14th (Chicago), 12th (New Hampshire), seventh (Dover) and fourth (Kansas). “A lot of effort and a lot of patience have gone into our resurgence,” Truex said. “Everything seems to be clicking much better right now, and I look forward to taking advantage of what we have learned and trying to get a win.”
THE X-FACTOR Several of Sunday’s incidents were a direct result of tire issues. Brad Keselowski described it as “Russian roulette” when it came to tire failures. Dale Earnhardt Jr. got “tired” on Lap 122. “I was going into Turn 3, and the surface of the tire unwound all the way across the surface,” he said. “Just the whole surface of the tire unwound like a string. It just came off the tire, and it popped off the corner.”

Fate. During the season, it happens from time to time. Yes, even to Hendrick Motorsports. Look at how many top-25 college football teams fell this past weekend, and they can’t even blame the tires.
Winner: Kasey Kahne Rest of the top five: Jimmie Johnson, Brad Keselowski, Jeff Gordon, Joey Logano Dark horse: Kyle Larson
Disappointment: Kevin Harvick First one out: Alex Bowman Don’t be surprised if: Harvick leads most of the laps but Kahne grabs the win.
JEFF GORDON
JAMIE MCMURRAY
Jeff Gordon vs. Jamie McMurray: McMurray slipped up into Gordon’s car, prompting Gordon to say McMurray “was way over his head” at Kansas. Godwin Kelly gives his take: “Gordon’s bid for a fifth Cup Series title took a worse hit than what his car suffered from McMurray’s machine.”

KANSAS REWIND
Kyle Larson continues to prove he’s a fast learner Rookie Kyle Larson missed the Chase playoffs, but in the past four weeks, he’s scored three top-fives with two secondplace showings, including his most recent outing at Kansas, after which he talked about his hot streak. Can you talk about your run out there? “We were good all weekend long. The first run we started off pretty loose because we were deep in the pack, but once it all spread apart we were able to pass some cars and get up into the top seven, I think, before the
first caution. “There were some crazy restarts near the beginning. We almost got collected in a couple of them, I guess, and missed those and was able to keep working on our car and got it better and better. Surprised the groove moved up as high as it did.” When you look at how you’re performing now, and you look back at the start of the year, what’s the biggest difference? Is it simply experience? “Yeah, I think it’s a little bit of experience,
second time at the track, and a lot of these tracks in the Chase are my best tracks, so I think that’s why we’ve been running really well. Yeah, just got to keep it going. I think Charlotte is another mile-and-a-half, so we should hopefully be pretty good there. We had a couple tire issues there the last race.” Is it still that victory that you need to fulfill all your wishes for this year? “No, I definitely feel like I’ve been running a lot better than what I thought I would to start the season, but I thought I would make
the Chase, too. A little bit disappointed there, but I’ve been finishing better than I thought I would have, so happy about that. But we just missed that one goal that we had before the season started. “Yeah, like I said, just got to keep it going. I think midpoint through the season, I noticed I was running better than what our goals were and raised those goals into top-10s, and now the way we’ve been running, we want to be top-five every week.”

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Hoping for Better Times Dear Annie: I am one of 12 siblings, but the only one with multiple sclerosis. For two years, I have been without work, so I sit here daily, hoping for a visit. I know my siblings are busy, because I see photographs on social media of their many travels and moments I can only imagine having. I’d like to ask them when was the last time they came to my home? When their friends ask, “How is your brother?” what do they say? I’d like to think it’s uncomfortable for them. My purpose in writing is to urge not only my siblings, but all of your readers to “act” with the gift of time. Give a moment to someone else. It will give purpose to my life if others take up this challenge, and it will change the giver’s life, as well. It is not in my character to complain. I am hopeful and dream of a miracle. My wife says I am the miracle. I am so blessed by the people who have come into my life. I can’t begin to pay it forward, so I pray it forward. -- Hoping for Better Times Dear Hoping: We appreciate your heartfelt letter. Please, folks, if you have friends or relatives who are ill, isolated or would benefit from some company, pick up the phone today and ask when it would be convenient to visit. You cannot imagine the joy it will bring. Dear Annie: Will you please print this for the students of the 21st century: I challenge you to remain in school and get a good education. A world of opportunities and unimaginable possibilities are attainable if you properly prepare yourself for these challenging times. A good education is the greatest gift that you can give yourself. If you respect and love yourself, you will do this. If you want the best life possible for yourself and your loved ones, you will do this. Education will determine your lifestyle, your standard of living and your eventual outcome in this life. For some, it will not be easy to remain in school. It will take extra doses of motivation, determination, discipline, courage and persistence. But nothing is accomplished without a struggle. Remind yourself every day that your future is at stake. Believe in yourself and the philosophy of “Yes, I can!” Education is the great equalizer. Education will allow you to catch up, stay up or get ahead. Once you have knowledge and information, it is yours to use, to explore, to create, to inspire. Educated people are more likely to live healthier and longer lives. Here are the three secrets to acquiring a good education: 1) attend school every day, 2) behave properly when in school, and 3) do the class work and homework to the best of your ability. All you have to do is take pride in yourself and your work. Education is all about PRIDE: Personal Responsibility in Daily Efforts. Don’t you have dreams? Don’t you want to make a difference? Think about it! Education is the link to the future, and it is up to you to make it happen. -- John Lewis Horton Dear J.L.H.: Many thanks for writing. We suggest teachers put your letter on their bulletin boards for all to see, and that parents make sure their kids have a chance to read it. Education matters. Dear Annie: When I had to move Mom into a nursing wing, I found half a dozen photo albums and boxes of loose pictures. She and I spent days going through them, labeling the ones she wanted to keep. We pared down the albums to two and pinned her favorite family pictures to a wall collage where she could see them from her bed. This warmed and personalized the room, and best of all, we had happy memories to talk about and share with family, nurses and other visitors. -- Glad We Didn’t Wait Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net.
HINTS FROM HELOISE STUCK PHOTOS Dear Heloise: I have an old picture album. The back page is sticky, but the front is clear plastic. These pictures have been in the album for more than 40 years. I cannot get the pictures loose from the sticky back. Could you tell me what to do to save some of the pictures? -- Joy Bragg, Tahoka, Texas I know exactly what you are talking about, and I, too, have a few albums just like yours. Here’s the scoop from me and the Library of Congress about what to do. First, you can cut the photos out, backing and all, if there are no photos on the other side of the page Most likely, the glue has dried out, so use a thin card (like a 3- by 5-inch card) or dental floss to slowly go between the photo and the page. I’ve had luck with this method. -- Heloise P.S.: Get them photocopied or scanned in ASAP! PARTY FAVOR Dear Heloise: My son often gets invited to birthday parties, and most times he comes home with a bag of candy as a favor. Instead of giving out favors for his party, we wanted the kids to make something to take home. The party had a pirate theme, so I found a boat craft for all of the kids. Each child put together a wooden boat and painted it however he or she wanted. We did it at the beginning of the party so they would be dry when it was time to go home. -- A Mom in Ohio

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You initially might be hesitant to express your opinions, but by the afternoon, you will open up. Be careful about what you say; otherwise, it could hurt another individual, depending on his or her life story. Tonight: Avoid confusion by confirming a meeting time and place. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You might run out of steam and need a nap or a change of venue. If you respond in a knee-jerk way, you are likely to go out shopping. Hold on to your receipts, because you might want to return everything tomorrow! Friends surround you. Tonight: Mind your budget. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You will feel better as the day goes on. You might wonder when to say “enough is enough,” as others make unusual demands. Know that you can shrug off a strange request more easily than a practical one. A child might express his or her neediness. Tonight: Happy at home. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Use the morning for key matters. Feel free to change plans or head in a new direction in the afternoon. You might not be in the mood to tolerate a lot of activity in the evening, so know when to say “enough.” Tonight: Choose to be with someone who revitalizes you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Handle an important matter in the morning that could involve a parent or boss. You might hear unexpected news that has the potential to benefit you in some way.

This person might have craved closeness in the morning, but by the afternoon, he or she will be fine with you taking off on your own. Confusion seems to surround your plans. Be sure that everyone is on the same page. Tonight: Party on! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Someone will want your attention. The uproar that could result from you saying “no” won’t be worth it. Still, you’ll need to express your feelings in an appropriate manner. A child might mean well, but he or she could cause a problem. Tonight: Make nice. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Clear out any errands in the morning. You might believe that you will have a calm day, but by late afternoon, you will discover otherwise. A friend could surprise you with an invitation. Join in on the fun, and act like a kid again; it will be healing. Tonight: Date night! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You might want to dote on a loved one in the morning. By the afternoon, others will want to join you, whether it is pitching in around the house or going to a movie. Make sure that you all are on the same page as far as plans go. Tonight: Call it early. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You’ll be happy that you don’t have to go to work, as you are likely to decide that a lazy day is in order.

Patriots Revis likely to face Bills rookie Watkins FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Another week. Another tough matchup for Darrelle Revis. The New England cornerback, who has been lining up against the opposition’s top receiver in five games with his new team, wouldn’t commit to doing it again Sunday against Buffalo rookie Sammy Watkins. “I can’t tell you the game plan, buddy,” said a laughing Revis on Friday before traveling to Buffalo. “I’m looking forward to the game on Sunday. I’m looking for us to go up there and win —that’s the main goal. “Whatever my assignment is, it is. I just gotta go out there and play and compete.” The Patriots and Bills come into this game tied for first place in the AFC East at 3-2. Watkins, who has caught 24 passes for 284 yards and two touchdowns in his first season out of Clemson, said this week he’s expecting to see No. 24 in his face on Sunday. “We actually found he’s going to be following me around the field, so I’m going to have to be prepared for his jams,” Watkins said. “He’s very smart. I have to be very competitive and smart off the ball.” Asked about the comment, Revis said Friday, “I don’t know what he heard or what he’s been told — it don’t matter to me.” In his matchup with Cincinnati’s A.J. Green
last Sunday, Revis had five passes, one for a touchdown, caught against him for 81 yards. But he also jarred the ball loose from Green after one of the catches, leading to one of the Patriots’ three fumble recoveries in the game. He said Green and Watkins are “two different players,” but the goal remains the same, and turnovers are part of that goal. The Patriots have 11 takeaways in five games; the opposition has five. “The coach has been emphasizing to us to make turnovers,” said Revis, who has one interception this season. “I think that’s been the goal since the offseason, since Day 1 when we came here. Guys have been really focusing on disruption drills and just been focusing more on attacking the ball more on defense. “We’ve believe in turnovers and we believe we have the players to make big plays and make turnovers.” Revis went after the ball against Green. “He catches the ball in front of you and he has his back turned, so at that point in time right there the ball carrier doesn’t know somebody’s probably behind him, and that’s when you can kind of do something and try to turn over the ball,” he said. As for Watkins, Revis calls him “very talented. Actually I’m a big fan of watching him when he was at Clemson. He’s a very explo-
sive receiver. He can run all the routes. He can make all the tough catches. It’s going to be fun.” The Patriots are 1-2 on the road, surrendering 74 points in the two road losses, 41 in an embarrassment at Kansas City Sept. 29. They are 3-7 in their last 10 road games, counting last season’s playoff loss at Denver. Quarterback Tom Brady is 22-2 lifetime against the Bills, but the two losses, in 2003 and ‘11, came in Buffalo, where the Patriots have won the last two years. “Through the years, having experienced away games, they’re always tough,” Revis said. “One thing you want to do is jump on a team fast . make plays and take the momen-
tum away. The home team always has the advantage of having the momentum and you gotta go in there and take that away as quickly as possible.” NOTES: Cornerback Brandon Browner, activated this week after serving a four-game league drug suspension and missing last week’s game, is bothered by an ankle problem and difficulty picking up the Patriots’ defensive schemes. He was one of four players not at practice on Friday. ... Wide receiver Brian Tyms, also coming back from NFL suspension, is listed on this week’s depth chart. ... The Patriots next three games are at home, starting Thursday against the New York Jets.
