Chief Anderson offers tips about fire safety in the winter By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent SOUTHWICK – As the cold weather and winter is approaching, Massachusetts State Fire Marshall Peter Ostroskey wants to remind the commonwealth about some important tips that can be used to keep safe this winter. In a press release issued by the Mass Department of Fire Services on Thursday, Ostroskey discussed what people should do if they’ve already turned their heat on. “This is the best time of year to give your furnace a tuneup,” said Ostroskey. “A well running furnace reduces heating bills, prevents fires and carbon monoxide poisoning.” However, the tips don’t end at the state level as Southwick Fire Chief Russ Anderson echoed what Ostroskey said and gave his own perspective. Home heating is the main cause of carbon monoxide and having fully operational smoke and carbon monoxide alarms is important. Carbon monoxide is known as a silent killer and one small step for safety is making sure your alarms are up to date

and the batteries are new. “Having a safety item monitoring it (carbon monoxide) for you is key,” said Anderson. It can be the difference between life and death. Another tip from Anderson is that when someone is using their fireplace or woodstove, make sure that the chimney is cleared from the debris over the summer and check to see if all pipes are sound and secure. Anderson also wants to remind residents about the proper way to remove any ashes from a woodstove or fireplace. Putting ashes in a metal container and placing them outside is what Anderson recommends. “Don’t underestimate how long sparks can remain in the ashes,” said Anderson. A common heating source that people may use is space heaters. While Ostroskey mentioned that plugging a space heater directly into an outlet rather than on a power strip is important, Anderson added that no object should be closer than three feet from a space heater. If you have any questions or concerns about safety tips for the winter, contact the Southwick Fire Department at 413-569-6363.

104th Fighter Wing to Conduct Critical Night Flying Training WESTFIELD – The 104th Fighter Wing of the Massachusetts Air National Guard will conduct night training flights from Monday, Oct. 23, 2017 through, Thursday, Oct. 26, 2017. Area residents will see and hear F-15C aircraft taking off and landing until about 9:00 p.m. during this period. The missions will launch from Barnes-Westfield Regional Airport
in Westfield, Mass. F-15C Eagle Pilots and maintenance personnel are required to conduct night operations as a part of their overall readiness training. “We appreciate our community and their outstanding support of the 104th Fighter Wing’s mission,” said Col. James Suhr. “We want to ensure the community understands how important night currency is to our combat readiness and is not sur-
prised by our planned night flying.” The pilots will be training on both critical homeland defense and overseas wartime aviation skills. “Our Homeland Defense mission is a 24-hour mission, and as such, we need to be trained and ready to respond both during the day as well during the night at a moment’s notice,” said Maj. Brett Vanderpas of the 104th Fighter Wing Operations Group.
By MARK G. AUERBACH Correspondent Symphony orchestras nationwide face the dilemma of having an aging audience, with few younger folks joining the ranks, and the Springfield Symphony Orchestra is no exception. However, new education initiatives are reaching out to Springfield elementary school students with special concerts at Symphony Hall, to high school students with a tailored “Meet The Musicians” program. Students get to attend a rehearsal, and have dinner with the musicians. MATT BERTUZZI As outreach programs to build Photo by Dani Fine younger audiences go, the Photography Springfield Symphony Orchestra does what it can with its limited resources. Opera companies perform with English-language surtitles. Theatres schedule “talkbacks” with artists and audiences. The arts groups know that a more engaged audience, who begin attending and appreciating the arts at an early age, become the organization’s future foundation of support. Springfield High School of Commerce Band Director Matt Bertuzzi, a Longmeadow native and Longmeadow High School 2004 graduate, who is now a member of the Springfield Symphony Board of Directors, was instrumental in getting high schooler to the Meet The Musicians program. He approached Maestro Kevin Rhodes with a novel idea. Students would text him during rehearsals to ask questions about the music being rehearsed. If a more formal text message delivery system to bring both program notes of a concert to audience members, and if these messages in real-time said “watch for this” or “listen for that”, audience members might have a userfriendly means to learn more about the music being played as See Springfield Symphony, Page 7

O
n Oct. 21, 1917, members of the 1st Division of the U.S. Army training in Luneville (luhn-nayVEEL’), France, became the first Americans to see action on the front lines of World War I.
ON THIS DATE: In 1797, the U.S. Navy frigate Constitution, also known as “Old Ironsides,” was christened in Boston’s harbor. In 1805, a British fleet commanded by Adm. Horatio Nelson defeated a French-Spanish fleet in the Battle of Trafalgar; Nelson, however, was killed. In 1892, schoolchildren across the U.S. observed Columbus Day (according to the Gregorian date) by reciting, for the first time, the original version of “The Pledge of Allegiance,” written by Francis Bellamy for The Youth’s Companion. In 1917, legendary jazz trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie was born in Cheraw, South Carolina. In 1941, superheroine Wonder Woman made her debut in All-Star Comics issue No. 8, published by All-American Comics, Inc. of New York. In 1942, the MGM musical “For Me and My Gal,” starring Judy Garland and featuring the film debut of Gene Kelly, premiered in New York. In 1959, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, opened to the public in New York. In 1966, 144 people, 116 of them children, were killed when a coal waste landslide engulfed a school and some 20 houses in Aberfan, Wales. In 1967, the Israeli destroyer INS Eilat was sunk by Egyp-
tian missile boats near Port Said (sah-EED’); 47 Israeli crew members were lost. Tens of thousands of Vietnam War protesters began two days of demonstrations in Washington, D.C. In 1971, President Richard Nixon nominated Lewis F. Powell and William H. Rehnquist to the U.S. Supreme Court. (Both nominees were confirmed.) In 1986, pro-Iranian kidnappers in Lebanon abducted American Edward Tracy (he was released in Aug. 1991). In 1991, American hostage Jesse Turner was freed by his kidnappers in Lebanon after nearly five years in captivity.
TEN YEARS AGO:
Wildfires driven by powerful Santa Ana winds killed one person near San Diego and destroyed several homes and a church in Malibu. Vice President Dick Cheney said in a speech to The Washington Institute for Near East Policy that the United States and other nations would not allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon. The Boston Red Sox won the American League championship in Game 7 of their series with the Cleveland Indians, 11-2.
FIVE YEARS AGO: Five years ago: Former senator and 1972 Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern, 90, died in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. A Wisconsin man opened fire at the Brookfield spa where his wife worked, killing her and two others and wounding four other women before turning the gun on himself. The San Francisco Giants beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-1 in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series, forcing a final deciding game. Garth Brooks was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame along with trailblazing singer Connie Smith
and keyboard player Hargus “Pig” Robbins.
ONE YEAR AGO:
Cyberattacks on server farms of a key internet firm repeatedly disrupted access to major websites and online services including Twitter, Netflix and PayPal across the United States. The United Nations celebrated Wonder Woman’s 75th birthday by naming the comic book character as its new Honorary Ambassador for the Empowerment of Woman and Girls, a decision that prompted protests from both inside and outside the world organization (the designation was rescinded in Dec. 2016).

WESTFIELD – Westfield State University’s WSKB-FM and “J.P.’s Talk About Town” will present two 1940s-style radio mystery plays live on-stage on Saturday, October 21. The plays – “The First Edition Matter, a Johnny Dollar Mystery,” and “Death, Literally,” an original comic murder mystery by Michael “Buster McMahon,”will both be presented at the Westfield State’s new Catherine Dower Performing Arts Center, starting at 7 PM. The performances will be recorded and broadcast on Friday October 27th on WSKB-FM at 6:30 AM. The performances will also be uploaded to YouTube afterwards. “The First Edition Matter” features the character of Johnny Dollar, made famous in a CBS Radio series that ran from 1949 until 1962. Johnny Dollar was billed as “America’s fabulous freelance insurance investigator,” and most episodes opened with Johnny getting a phone call from an insurance company official asking that he investigate a claim. “The First Edition Matter” will feature some local notables, including Westfield News Publisher Patrick Berry, several Westfield Kiwanis Club members, and well-known radio personality Adam Wright. “Death, Literally” is one of 30 short plays written by McMahon, “…mostly as a hobby because, I don’t know,” said McMahon, “You have to do something that somebody can say that you did in your obituary.” In the play, the lead character is a murder mystery author suffering from writer’s block, who is confronted by his female creation who is poisoned at a dinner party. She doesn’t want to die and wants to know who kills her, even though the author doesn’t know yet. Together they confront the denizens of the story to figure out the logical conclusion to the book. The cast of eight includes WSU alum business major Sue Fopiano (Smith) ’92 in the lead female role of Cassandra LaPree. McMahon recently pitched a sitcom to the FX network and NBC. He is currently pitching one to the Disney Channel as well. Admission to the show is $5, with proceeds going to the Westfield State University Jazz Ensemble, which will provide the music during the performance.

Polka music comes to WSKB By KEN STOMSKI contributor Polka music can now be heard over the airwaves in Westfield on Saturday mornings between 6AM and 10AM on WSKB 89.5FM during the community radio portion of their broadcasts. Community radio is broadcast seven days a week from 6AM to 10AM and the schedule can be found in the Westfield News. On Saturdays between 6AM and 8:30AM a national feed from the “Polka Jammer Network” will be broadcast, and then from 8:30AM to 10AM local Polka celebrity Billy Belina will be hosting “Breakfast with BB”, live from his studio in Chicopee, Ma. You may remember hearing Belina as a host of the “Polka Bandstand Show” on WMUA for years. Belina is a prominent musician, vocalist, and radio DJ who has dedicated his career to Polka music. He was a member of several bands before starting his own band, the Bay State IV, and has made numerous recordings. His notable achievements include the Bay State IV “Salutes the Polka Stars” album, and a 1988 performance at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington, D.C. Since 1979, Belina has produced a popular polka radio show, “The Polka Bandstand Show” on station WMUA at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, MA until the station stopped all polka broadcasts on Saturday mornings last year. With the help of the Internet, his live Saturday morning show has garnered thousands of listeners and has enhanced the popularity of polka music. Belina has demonstrated a formidable dedication to preserving the continuance and growth of Polka music. His peers have determined that he is deserving of being inducted into the Polka Music Hall of Fame. Breakfast with BB began airing on the internet on Saturday mornings in January of 2016 after WMUA’s student management stopped the weekend Polka programming, wiping out all Polka programs on Saturdays. WSKB can be heard at 89.5FM and at wskb.org. The video feed for community radio is on local cable channel 15 and at westfieldtv.org.

I am absolutely appalled by both the chair of the Planning Board for withholding valuable information from an applicant, other board members, the city law dept, the city planner and others, and the citizens of Westfield who are opposed to Zubers trying to sell their property to another business. Take a closer look at the people behind the opposition and you might see some competing dog businesses. Mike Zuber has done wonderful things for residents and would like to sell his property and enjoy retirement. Would residents prefer the current businesses in that location to just close and the building become an eyesore? Lastly, a jam packed city council chambers over dogs and maybe 20 people at an educational meeting about the quality of our drinking water. Hey Westfield, get your damn priorities straight.
Senators press Pruitt for concessions on biofuels mandate By MICHAEL BIESECKER and DAVID PITT Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The head of the Environmental Protection Agency is looking to make peace on biofuels standards with a group of senators from corn-growing states who could upend President Donald Trump's nominees for key regulatory posts. EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt pledged in a letter to Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa and a half dozen other Republican lawmakers to take specific actions benefiting the biofuels industry. Last summer, Pruitt proposed biofuels targets for 2017 and 2018 set slightly below current levels. This followed a push by oil companies to ease mandates included in the Renewable Fuel Standard, which requires ethanol from corn and soybeans to be blended into gasoline and diesel. Though Pruitt's letter said he was still assessing the issue, EPA's current analysis is that those standards should be set "equal to or higher" than the amounts previously proposed. Trump during the presidential campaign had advocated protecting the renewable fuel standard, which helped his election performance in Iowa, where corn production is vital. The move came a day after the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works delayed consideration of four Trump EPA nominees. Ernst, a member of the committee, had said she had concerns about the nomination of Bill Wehrum to lead the EPA's Office of Air and Radiation, which oversees the Renewable Fuel Standard. After receiving Pruitt's letter, Ernst said she is now prepared to vote in favor of Wehrum's confirmation. "I had to have those assurances in writing from the administrator before I was willing to move Bill Wehrum forward," Ernst said Friday in a call with reporters from her home state. "I just didn't want verbal assurances, I wanted it in writing." Iowa's other senator, Chuck Grassley, also threatened earlier this week to scuttle Trump's nominees unless Pruitt backed off. Iowa is the nation's leading corn producer and one of the top soybean growers. With 43 ethanol refineries and 12 biodiesel plants, it also leads the nation in biofuels production. Pruitt's concessions on biofuels reaffirmed the political muscle wielded by the biofuels industry's defenders in Congress. It also upset the fossil fuels industry, which has counted on Pruitt as a reliable ally since his days fighting Obama-era carbon emissions restrictions as Oklahoma's elected attorney general. Chet Thompson, the president of the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, said it was "astonishing" to see Pruitt appear to knuckle under. He said the current biofuels mandates are unworkable and drive up fuel costs. "It is astonishing that Administrator Pruitt succumbed to the pressures of a handful of Midwestern senators and agreed — in writing no less — to back off pending proposals that would lower fuel costs for U.S. consumers and end mandates for foreign biodiesel," Thompson said. "The proposal that EPA turned its back on would have helped."

WHITE HOUSE
No required sentences in military justice cases By KEN THOMAS Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House said Friday that any military justice case must be “resolved on its own facts” after Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl argued that President Donald Trump’s past criticism prevented him from receiving a fair sentence on charges he endangered comrades in Afghanistan. The White House statement did not mention Bergdahl by name but appeared to address questions related to his case. It said Trump “expects all military personnel” involved in the military justice process “to exercise their independent professional judgment.” Bergdahl pleaded guilty this week to charges that could send him to prison for life. But his lawyers have asked to have the case dismissed in light of Trump’s remarks during an impromptu news conference Monday that “people have heard my comments in the past” about Bergdahl. As a presidential candidate, Trump repeatedly called Bergdahl a “traitor” and suggested he should receive harsh punishment. Without referencing Bergdahl, the White House statement Friday said, “There are no expected or required dispositions, outcomes, or sentences in any military justice case, other than those resulting from the individual facts and merits of a case.” It added, “Each military justice case must be resolved on its own facts.” White House officials declined to say that the statement was related to Bergdahl’s case.
Bergdahl’s lawyers contend that the president’s comment Monday is problematic because Trump is now commander in chief. “President Trump stands at the pinnacle of an unbroken chain of command that includes key participants in the remaining critical steps of the case,” the defense wrote. The judge overseeing the case, Army Col. Jeffery R. Nance, previously called Trump’s campaign statements about Bergdahl “disturbing and disappointing,” but ruled they didn’t amount to unlawful command influence. The judge’s ruling in February noted Trump’s comments were made before he was president. The statements of a “private citizen,” even if the person is a presidential candidate, “cannot be unlawful command or influence,” Nance wrote. Bergdahl, 31, of Hailey, Idaho, pleaded guilty Monday to desertion and misbehavior before the enemy for walking off his remote post in Afghanistan in 2009. He was captured and held by the Taliban and its allies for five years. Bergdahl admitted guilt without striking a deal with prosecutors to limit his sentence, meaning his punishment will be determined by Nance. Bergdahl faces up to life in prison at sentencing starting next week. President Barack Obama brought him home in 2014 in a swap for five Taliban prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. During the campaign, Trump repeatedly called Bergdahl a “dirty, rotten traitor” who deserved to be executed by firing squad or thrown out of a plane without a parachute.

Sen. Warren calls for probe after VA medical center death BOSTON (AP) — U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren is calling for an expedited criminal investigation into the death of a patient at the Bedford, Massachusetts VA Medical Center. William R. Nutter Jr., a Vietnam War veteran who served 21 years in the U.S. Army Reserves, died July 3, 2016. Warren cited reports in The Boston Globe and The Lowell Sun, saying Nutter's death was due in part to neglect. The Massachusetts Democrat said patients at the medical center are heroes who deserve the highest quality care. Warren said she's raised concerns about the reported problems at the medical center in recent months, including allegations that employees engaged in inappropriate relationships with patients and sold narcotics on hospital grounds. On Friday, Warren wrote to Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin asking he expedite the investigation into Nutter's death.

comments and the reaction beams around the world instantaneously.” Most of Trump’s loudest critics within his own party aren’t running for public office again and don’t need his support. McCain and Trump have been on prickly territory since Trump said in 2015 that McCain is “not a war hero.” It was only exacerbated when McCain’s Senate votes helped kill Republican efforts to repeal and replace Obama’s signature health care law. McCain has denounced Trump and his supporters multiple times, including this week when he accused them of trading international leadership for “some half-baked, spurious nationalism cooked up by people who would rather find scapegoats than solve problems.” Trump warned McCain in a radio interview: “I fight back.” The Arizona senator, tortured for more than five years in Vietnam and now fighting brain cancer, replied: “I have faced tougher adversaries.” Corker has long questioned Trump’s competence as president and said the people around the president are what’s saving the country from Trump-fueled “chaos.” Last week, after
announcing his retirement from the Senate, Corker described the White House as an “adult day care center.” Trump on Twitter nicknamed him “Liddle’ Bob Corker.” Flake, the only one of the three seeking reelection, has a GOP primary opponent backed by some Trump supporters, including former adviser Steve Bannon. The senator has been confronting Trump since 2016, when he stood up in a private caucus meeting and introduced himself to Trump as the senator from Arizona “who didn’t get captured.” Then there’s Tillerson, who was quoted as calling the president “a moron” in private after a July meeting. After the comment was reported, Tillerson tried to patch things up in an extraordinary press conference in which he described Trump as “smart.” A meeting with Trump and interviews followed, with Tillerson insisting his fraught relationship with the president is actually strong. But though a Tillerson aide denied Tillerson had called Trump a moron, the secretary of state himself never has.

Amazon HQ2
Continued from Page 1 process, we have been committed to putting the Commonwealth’s best foot forward, and would welcome Amazon joining thousands of other public and private entities who are leveraging Massachusetts’ assets for our mutual growth and development.” “From Worcester to Boston and across the Commonwealth, Massachusetts is a leading contender to welcome and host Amazon’s second North American headquarters, and the thousands of new individuals it will employ,” said Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito. “Our strong cities and towns, great schools and STEM-educated workforce are among the best Amazon will find as it looks to expand its footprint.” “As this bid clearly illustrates, Massachusetts has the history, talent, institutions, and locations available to be a leading contender for Amazon to build their second headquarters here. Amazon will benefit from our best in the nation education system, world class institutions, and innovative economy to continue to grow their business while contributing to the fabric of our state,” said Senate President Stan Rosenberg (D-Amherst). “Based on our track record of innovation and experience in creating new ideas, I am hopeful that the Massachusetts bid will be among the finalists.” “With a highly educated, technology-friendly population, Massachusetts provides a talent pipeline that no other state can match,” said House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo (D-Winthrop). “The House has built on this foundation with inventive programs like the Intern Partnership, MassCAN and STEM Starter Academy to prepare the innovators of tomorrow. We’ve paired this work with a legacy of fiscal responsibility and bipartisanship. This balance has resulted in a vibrant economy and a stable environment for business. I’m elated about the prospect of Amazon locating HQ2 in Massachusetts and am confident about our prospects.” Amazon already maintains a significant footprint in the Commonwealth, employing thousands at a number of locations, including Amazon Robotics in North Reading, fulfillment centers in Fall River and Stoughton, a research-and-development office in Cambridge, and a soon-to-be-opened office in Fort Point, Boston. The proposal outlines a broad array of financial programs already available in the Commonwealth to facilitate and spur private sector partnerships, investment and growth in Massachusetts’ communities. “Amazon represents a transformative opportunity for Massachusetts – whether it chooses to locate in Boston, Worcester, Lawrence, New Bedford, Pittsfield, or somewhere in between,” said Housing and Economic Development Secretary Jay Ash. “Our proposal is a great story about a great state and I look forward to working with Amazon to find the right site for HQ2 here in the Commonwealth.” Amazon announced the RFP process for their new North American headquarters last month, expecting over $5 billion in construction and as many as 50,000 new employees, in addition to tens of thousands of additional jobs and tens of billions of dollars in other local investments. Massachusetts’ proposal was submitted on Thursday, October 19th.

Springfield Symphony
Continued from Page 1 the performance moved along. Bertuzzi, a graduate in music education from UMass/ Amherst, and a Masters Degree in Conducting, also from UMass/Amherst, who works with tech-savvy high school musicians every day, and Maestro Rhodes, who is also techsavvy, decided to test a program, which they named Real Time Concert Notes. For the Springfield Symphony season opener on October 14, the Maestros chose the Brahms Symphony No. 2, developed a real-time text script, and test drove the program with the audience. “Real-time Concert Notes is bringing the live orchestra experience we all know into the 21st Century”, said Bertuzzi. “The program notes and blurbs that the audience can read before the concert are great, but this experience will be giving them the same type of information and targeting it to the exact time in the music that it becomes relevant.” Those audience members who chose to participate were invited to Symphony Hall’s second balcony, a long series of steps above the grand tier, with superb acoustics and a good view of the stage, but an area where the sounds of texting and the lights of cellphones wouldn’t intrude on the rest of the audience. According to Bertuzzi, about one hundred people “test drove Real Time Concert Notes, and filled out a survey after the program. I thought it might appeal to a younger segment of the audience, but there was a cross-section of younger people and older folks, all comfortable with texting technology.” Bertuzzi added “There was no additional charge to participate, and all the user had to do was text a message to a specific number to get started. Ushers and volunteers helped set everyone up.” Bertuzzi said the program was well-received. Rhodes agreed. “I love modern technology and am every day thankful that I live in an era where information and communication is so readily and easily available as the phone in my pocket, So we’re going to take that phone in your pocket and use it to help break down some of those mysteries of classical music.” Armed with positive feedback from the participants, Rhodes and Bertuzzi are refining the concept, and Real Time Concert Notes v.2 will take place at the November 4 Viva America concert, which includes accessible works by George Gershwin, Aaron Copland, and a new work. They’ll offer the program for the concert finale, Leonard Bernstein’s Symphonic Dances from West Side Story. “Maestro Rhodes and I are working on the text content,” says Bertuzzi, “and we’re hoping to eventually have sections on all levels of Symphony Hall for participants. This reporter, moderately tech savvy, plans to try out the program on November 4. Any ticketed member of the Springfield Symphony audience can participate in Real Time Concert Notes at no extra charge, other than the charges that one’s cell provider might surcharge for texting.

Norman Rockwell’s 3 sons seek to halt sale of his artworks By MARK PRATT Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Norman Rockwell's three sons were among several people who went to court on Friday seeking to halt a museum's plans to sell 40 works of art, including two by him. A complaint seeking a temporary restraining order filed in Berkshire Superior Court alleges the board of trustees at the Berkshire Museum in Pittsfield contracted with Sotheby's for a public auction of the works before it announced its plans publicly, acted in breach of its fiduciary duties and trust and acted without legal authority to sell the art. The planned sale is against Massachusetts laws establishing the museum, which requires the museum to maintain any gifts it receives "for the people of Berkshire County and the general public," the complaint says. "Once sold, it is highly unlikely that any of the pieces will remain in Berkshire County or in a public institution where they can be seen and enjoyed," the complaint says. Besides Thomas, Jarvis and Peter Rockwell, the plaintiffs include two local artists and several members of the museum. They are represented by the Boston law firm Foley Hoag LLP. The museum has consistently stood by its decision to sell the art. "We believe we have strong legal grounds for our deaccessioning and we are confident
in our new vision plan which will allow this important local museum to continue to contribute to the educational and cultural life of this region for another century," trustees president Elizabeth McGraw said in a statement on Friday. The museum came under intense national and local criticism after it announced in July that is was auctioning the art. The American Alliance of Museums and the Association of Art Museum Directors said in a joint statement that the sale violated a sacred museum rule that collections are not to be sold to pay bills. The works for sale include Rockwell's "Shaftsbury Blacksmith Shop" and "Shuffleton's Barbershop," both of which the illustrator gave as gifts to the museum when he lived in nearby Stockbridge. Works by Alexander Calder, Albert Bierstadt and George Henry Durrie also are on the auction block. Museum trustees and officials say the museum is in dire financial straits and may close for good if it doesn't sell the works. They say it is hoped that the sale will raise as much as $60 million, which will be used to boost the endowment by $40 million, with the other $20 million being used to renovate the museum as it changes its mission to focus more on natural history and science. The complaint says the museum's financial troubles are greatly exaggerated.

Prosecutor: Pharmacist in meningitis case gambled with lives BOSTON (AP) — A pharmacist charged with murder in a meningitis outbreak that killed 76 people knew that mold and other bacteria were growing inside the filthy production rooms and that drugs shipped to customers were not sterile, but chose to do nothing, a federal prosecutor told jurors Friday. Glenn Chin, the supervisory pharmacist at the now-closed New England Compounding Center in Framingham, ignored warning signs that his production methods were unsafe and decided instead to gamble with patients' lives, Assistant U.S. Attorney Amanda Strachan said during closing arguments. "This was a crisis of epic proportions, and it was looming ... and Glenn Chin just didn't care," Strachan said. Chin, who ran the clean rooms where the drugs were made, is charged with seconddegree murder under federal racketeering law, mail fraud and other crimes. He is charged in the deaths of 25 people in Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia and faces up to life in prison if convicted. Jurors are expected to begin deliberating on Monday. The 2012 outbreak of fungal meningitis and other infections was blamed on contaminated injections of medical steroids, given mostly to people with back pain. More than 700 people in 20 states were sickened in what's considered the worst public health crisis in recent U.S. history. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention put the death toll at 64 in 2013. Federal officials identified additional victims in their investigation, raising the total number of deaths to 76. The outbreak sparked calls for increased regulation of compounding pharmacies, which differ from ordinary drugstores in that they custom-mix medications and supply them directly to hospitals and doctors. After the outbreak, Congress increased federal oversight of compounding pharmacies. Chin, who was wearing a dark suit, looked
ahead and showed no emotion as the prosecutor read the names of the 25 people he's accused of killing. Prosecutors say Chin failed to properly sterilize the drugs, instructed staff to use expired ingredients and shipped injections before they were tested. Chin's attorneys say the pharmacist is not responsible for the deaths, arguing that prosecutors failed to provide any evidence showing he caused the drugs to become contaminated. "These 25 people were not murdered. Glenn Chin is not a murderer," attorney Stephen Weymouth told jurors. "This is a horribly tragic death case, but it is not a murder case." Chin is pointing the finger at the pharmacy's co-founder, Barry Cadden, who was sentenced in June to nine years in prison after being convicted of conspiracy and fraud charges but acquitted of second-degree murder. Cadden hired unqualified staff and ordered employees to cut corners to increase production, Chin's attorney said. Chin was a salaried employee and had no incentive to boost profits, Weymouth said. When Cadden hired Chin in 2004, Chin had no experience in compounded drugs or sterilization and learned everything from Cadden, whom he trusted, Weymouth said. Cadden hired Chin and others because he knew they would do "anything and everything" Cadden told them to do, Weymouth said. But Cadden's guilt doesn't make Chin innocent, Strachan said. People who carry out crimes at the behest of their bosses are just as guilty, she said. "We have never said that Chin or Cadden did this alone," Strachan said. She read an email that Cadden sent to Chin months before federal officials began investigating the outbreak in which Cadden expressed concerns about the pharmacist's production methods, saying, "We are way too big to cut any corners." "This is a disaster waiting to happen," Cadden wrote. "People can die."

Saints, others rejoice By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer WESTFIELD – St. Mary’s girls soccer senior captains Caitlyn Olearcek and Lexi Shedd were honored for four fantastic years with the team during a halftime ceremony Friday at Westfield Middle School North. They, in turn, showed their appreciation for their coaches, parents, and fans by delivering a complete game – with an assist from their teammates, of course – in defeating the visiting Commerce Red Raiders 4-0 on “Senior Night.” Olearcek set up the game’s first score with a feed to Allie Goodreau. Olearcek then connected on two separate, beautiful direct kicks from long range to give St. Mary’s a 3-0 lead. Goodreau tapped in a loose ball in the box for a commanding 4-0 advantage. “I am so proud of the team for this performance,” St. Mary’s coach Pat Olearcek said. “Everyone played and everyone contributed. The direct kicks were unbelievable, about as well as anyone could kick a ball from that distance. Such a great way to send out our seniors, Cait and Lexi, who have made this program so much better in their four years.” Amelia Willenborg was fantastic in net for St. Mary’s, collecting five saves as well as providing tremendous field leadership.

Second SkyCam to be used on ‘Sunday Night Football’ NBC will unveil a second SkyCam for Sunday night's Super Bowl rematch between the Patriots and Falcons at Gillette Stadium that will provide views from on high. The original SkyCam used for games flies anywhere from 12 feet to 40 feet above the playing field. The high SkyCam goes from 40 to 80 feet and probably will wind up mostly right in between that height. "It gives you a bird's-eye view of whatever it is you are trying to show," says Fred Gaudelli, executive producer for "Sunday Night Football. "I try to give that camera assignments based on game situations, down and distance." This is a perfect time to debut the camera, and not just because of the classic finish these two teams provided back in February. Gaudelli is intrigued by the blocking schemes Atlanta uses and believes the high SkyCam will offer unprecedented looks at that offensive line's work. "We can get a great look at the wide-zone scheme of blocking, how each of the linemen work in tandem, how they work like a synchronized swim team," he says. "In passing situations, we will probably put it on Julio Jones and see the coverage New England is deploying. We then will flip it for Gronk or Brandin Cooks, do some defensive isolations. You get a great look to see how the safety reacts to the quarterback." One application of the second SkyCam that could not only enhance the viewing experience but help with officiating is at the goal line. In last week's Giants' win over Denver, when the extra camera wasn't yet available, there was a controversial call regarding whether the Broncos' C.J. Anderson scored (see below). "In a short-yardage situation, it will be right over the line of scrimmage," Gaudelli says of the higher SkyCam. "We have so many catches on the goal line, had that C.J. Anderson shot last week and couldn't see the ball; this is another opportunity and hopefully it gives a better view if the ball breaks the goal line." Gaudelli can envision it working well for
other sports, but believes football is the ideal sport for two SkyCams. He plans to use the higher camera later in the season and certainly in the playoffs and for the Super Bowl. "It is a very cool angle," he notes, "and I think it is perfectly suited. I SCORED: Broncos running back C.J. Anderson thought he nosed the ball over the goal line on Denver's failed fourth-and-1 play against the Giants last week, and TV replays appeared to show he had a point. The officials ruled otherwise. "They said they couldn't see it," said Anderson, who accepted the blame. "If I just made it clear cut and get in the end zone and touch the back of the white line, the referee would raise his hands." The goal-line stand proved crucial in New York's 23-10 upset. "Next time I won't make it so close," Anderson said. "Next time I get to that, I'll definitely make it clear cut and be in the end zone to celebrate with my teammates. I'm touching the back of the white line, 110 yards, I'll be in there. Ten yards, I'm in there." DWIGHT CLARK DAY: The San Francisco 49ers will honor Dwight Clark at halftime of a game against the team he made his famous "Catch" against. More than 30 alumni, including Joe Montana, are expected to be on hand for "Dwight Clark Day." The Niners will show video tributes to Clark during the game and honor him at halftime. Clark played for San Francisco from 197987, helping the franchise win its first two Super Bowl titles. He is most famous for "The Catch," his leaping grab in the back of the end zone of a 6-yard TD in the final minute of a 28-27 win over Dallas in the 1981 NFC title game that launched the 49ers dynasty. Clark announced earlier this year that he had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, more commonly known as ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease. See Sunday Night Football, Page 11

Sunday Night Football WAITING FOR ROSS: The Bengals expected to add receiver John Ross' record-setting speed to their playbook this season. So far, he's touched the ball one time in five games. The ninth overall pick hasn't been able to stay healthy. He set a combine record by running 4.22 seconds in the 40-yard dash, and had shoulder surgery that limited him well into training camp. He twisted his left knee in the final preseason game, causing him to sit out the season opener. In the second game against Houston, he got the ball on a reverse and fumbled after a 12-yard gain. He also aggravated the knee and hasn't been able to practice fully. "I'm just going to continue working through it," Ross said. "That's really all I can do at this point." The Bengals aren't inclined to put him in for a play or two.
Continued from Page 10 Instead, they want him to catch up from all the missed time. "They don't want to have guys come in for these certain things or anything," Ross said. "It was more 'learn everything and once you do, you'll get more (chances).'" HOME-AWAY UPDATE: Through six weeks and one game, the Raiders wild victory over the Chiefs on Thursday night, NFL results have been split 46-46 for home and road teams. Considering that weather rarely has been an issue in those games, that's an impressive figure for visitors. The NFC South has the best road record, 7-3, followed by the AFC East at 7-5. The NFC West (5-8) and AFC South (4-7) are worst. The AFC West is 6-5, the AFC North and NFC East are 6-6, while the NFC North is 5-6.
Unbeaten away from home? The Rams, whose home game Sunday is in London, Carolina and New England. All are 3-0. Winless on the road are Cleveland and San Francisco, which haven't won anywhere, plus Tampa Bay and Indianapolis. Oh yeah, also Denver, which has the strangest road mark: The Broncos have lost on their only trip, at Buffalo. They've played four home matches and had a bye, which means they now have three straight away games, visiting the Chargers, Chiefs and Eagles. Denver also plays four of its last six on the road. Unbeaten at home are Green Bay (3-0), Buffalo, Philadelphia and Seattle, all 2-0. Winless at home are the Niners and Browns, of course, plus the Chargers (0-3) and Giants (0-2).

Dear Annie By ANNIE LANE
New City, New Heart Dear Annie: My girlfriend, “Lucy,” and I started dating three years ago, during our senior year of college. After graduating, we both got jobs in the same city where we had gone to school, and we ended up moving in together to save money. Living together was surprisingly easy, as we’re both pretty low-maintenance people. Anyway, Lucy is a good partner. She’s always encouraged me to push myself to pursue my passions. She’s the reason I ended up applying to a dream job even though it was across the country. I never thought I’d actually end up landing it. But I did. I moved out here last month. The plan was for me to come out first and get settled in my job; then Lucy would follow a few months later. Things are going really well. The company I’m working for is a perfect fit; there’s so much to see and do in the city, and I’ve already made some friends. The problem is I’m having second thoughts about Lucy. She’s a great person, and I wouldn’t even be out here if it weren’t for her encouragement. But I just don’t find myself feeling the same sparks. I feel terrible writing these words, but I don’t really miss her. When I see her name lighting up my phone, I have to force myself to answer it. She’s flying out for a visit soon to see my new place and apply to some restaurant jobs before making the move. I don’t know what to do. Should I just wait for her to move out here and see how things go? Or do I need to break it off before then? -- Feeling Guilty Dear Feeling Guilty: If you’re feeling guilty now, imagine how you’ll feel if she moves there. It’s time to end things. Keep it short and sweet. Thank her for the years you’ve shared, and then tell her you want to break up. Have this talk sooner rather than later. You’re not doing her any favors by dating her out of a sense of obligation. She deserves someone whose face lights up when her name lights up his phone. Let her go find him. Dear Annie: I’m a prostate cancer survivor. I notice lots of pink in October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but I haven’t noticed as much light blue in September for National Prostate Health Month. The last time I checked, the number of men affected by prostate cancer is similar to the number of women affected by breast cancer, but it does not seem to get as much attention. Although there is not much of September left at the time I’m writing this, I’m still hoping to get some of these facts out. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men. About 1 in 7 men will develop prostate cancer in their lifetimes, and about 1 in 39 men will die from the disease. Risk factors include age, family history and race. AfricanAmerican men are likelier to develop this form of cancer. Know your risk. Talk to your doctor to see whether you should be screened for prostate cancer. -- Survivor in Blue Dear Survivor in Blue: Though it’s no longer September, your message is as important as ever. For more information, visit the Prostate Cancer Foundation’s website, at https:// www.pcf.org. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.com.

When doing your skincare routine in the morning and at night, wash and moisturize your neck as well. The neck can show aging, but you may not pay attention to it when doing your makeup.

On The Tube E! cancels Joan Rivers’ ‘Fashion Police’ after 22-year run LOS ANGELES (AP) — E!’s long-running series, “Fashion Police,” will come to an end next month with a special finale featuring its late host and co-creator Joan Rivers. The series began in 1995 and became a staple on the red carpet at major awards shows with Rivers commentating on celebrity looks. It continued after Rivers’ 2014 death with her daughter, Melissa, as a co-host. The network says “Fashion Police: The Farewell” will look back at memorable moments from the show’s 22-year run and include surprise celebrity guests. Footage from an unaired 80’s themed episode featuring Joan Rivers will also be shown. “Fashion Police: The Farewell” airs on Nov. 27.
Fox News duped by phony military hero, removes false story By FRAZIER MOORE AP Television Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Fox News Channel has removed a false story from its website, saying it was duped by an artist the network highlighted as a Vietnam veteran, a member of the first U.S. Navy SEAL team and a muchdecorated war hero. The report, which aired Oct. 8, focused on 72-year-old glass artist John Garofalo, who "despite health issues" emerged from semi-retirement to create a four-foot-high, 150-pound glass-andbronze presidential seal he said he hoped to present to President Donald Trump. The report — captioned "Decorated War Hero Hopes to Honor Trump With Glass Presidential Seal" — included numerous details of Garofalo's alleged
military past. "Unfortunately, all of Garofalo's claims turned out to be untrue," Fox News said in a statement issued Thursday. "The fact is that he did not serve in Vietnam. He was never a U.S. Navy SEAL. Even though he showed us medals, Garofalo was not awarded two Purple Hearts or any of the other nearly two dozen commendations he claimed to have received, except for the National Defense Service Medal." The story, by Fox News correspondent Bryan Llenas, displayed Garofalo's work in progress which it described as a tribute to his hero, Trump, who "woke something up in me," Garofalo said. "I have hope for him and I have hope for the country." Host Eric Shawn closed the story by saying, "God bless John Garofalo. We
certainly hope the president is listening." In the network's lengthy statement, which it characterized as a correction, not a retraction, Fox News said, "It is true that Garofalo is a glass artist and a veteran. He served in Spain and he gifted two presidential seals to Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. "Over the last two weeks, we've worked with Garofalo's family and the National Personnel Records Center to get to the bottom of a military past that Garofalo had claimed to be covert. We apologize to our viewers, especially veterans and servicemen and women," Fox News said in its statement. Along with the statement posted on its website, the network said it planned to offer an on-air correction Friday.

DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Oct. 21, 2017: This year you have a tendency to overthink situations. Allow a little more spontaneity to enter your life, and don’t insist on so much structure. Ultimately, you will learn to relax more. If you are single, romance blows into your life. You might feel as if you never have experienced feelings of this nature before. If you are attached, the two of you often get into vivid, energetic conversations. Know that you both can be right with different ideas; you don’t always have to agree. SCORPIO wishes that he or she had the type of relationship you have! The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH A loved one or dear friend decides to take an action that you have been considering. This person demonstrates security and a greater understanding of what might be necessary. You will enjoy riding his or her coattails as you greet what was your idea. Tonight: Get into the moment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Be flattered at how a partner or someone who wants to be your sweetie befriends you. This person’s main goal -- at least right now -- is to put a smile on your face. You gain a new perspective of this person but also the people and the situations around him or her. Tonight: Go with the flow. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You might want to pace yourself and get ahead of a potential problem. You will become more relaxed and easygoing once you clear out some errands. A loved one lets you know how much you are missed. Be where you are wanted. Tonight: Let it all happen. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You express depth and security, yet you might not be willing to put yourself on the line or be the first person to make a move. Wouldn’t it be a shame to miss out on getting to know someone better because of your pride? Rethink your decision. Tonight: Be spontaneous and allow your inner child to emerge. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You might want to stick around the home front. Much activity surrounds your personal life. An associate or someone in your day-to-day life could pop up unexpectedly. Though you might be uncomfortable at first, go with the moment. Tonight: Entertain from your pad. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Don’t stand on ceremony. Instead, reach out to a friend or loved one whom you have not spoken to in a long time. As you bridge the lost time, you’ll remember how connected to this person you feel. Make a point of getting together more frequently. Tonight: You could witness a budding romance. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Be aware of a controlling side that you frequently cover up. Let go of possessiveness and insecurity, if possible, because you are likely to mess up what could be a great few days or a potential romance. Don’t allow yourself to be a victim of your feelings. Tonight: Make strong choices for yourself. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Verify that you want to head in the present direction. Sometimes you respond automatically to situations and don’t consider whether the path will really work for you. A better alternative might be available; be open to changing plans. Tonight: Reach out to a special friend. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You sense that you have left someone out or you haven’t completed a situation or conversation. If you happen to zero in on the issue, by all means correct it. You will feel better. Be cautious with any financial agreements. Tonight: Do your thing. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You seem to be transforming naturally while living life. What had worked for you might not work any longer. Make those adjustments no big deal. People change with time, though you often can maintain the tie with some mutually agreed upon changes. Tonight: Time to celebrate! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH The spotlight is on you. Usually you are not comfortable with so much attention, but right now you seem to flourish in that role. Your instincts tell you what to do with a strong, demanding person in your life. Take charge of your life. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Plans could change. For example, what you thought would be a quiet gettogether could turn into an outrageous celebration. Be willing to step outside your comfort zone. Don’t restrict yourself to the same old patterns -- that is, if you want more excitement in your life. Tonight: All smiles.

NASCAR THIS WEEK SPEED FREAKS A few questions we had to ask ourselves Still think Talladega belongs in the playoffs? GODSPEAK: Absolutely. Talladega is the great unknown, except if you repair sheet metal at the shop. KEN’S CALL: I take it all back. No, it doesn’t, not even for the showbiz angle.
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
TALLADEGA
QUESTIONS & AT T I T U D E Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers
Whose playoffs will end? Prepare the parting gifts for Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Jamie McMurray. No real surprise there. The actual bubble seems to reach from Ryan Blaney in seventh place to Matt Kenseth in 10th, with Jimmie Johnson and Kyle Busch between them. Just 10 points separate those four drivers, so two of them are likely done, and let's assume Kyle either wins Kansas or chases Martin Truex Jr. across the stripe. Barring the unexpected, of course.
Does Kez’s win make him a bigger championship threat? GODSPEAK: If you believe in momentum, yes, and don’t forget, he is a former champion. Been there, done that. KEN’S CALL: In putting him through to the next round, yes. In any other way, are you kidding?
Didn’t we leave “the unexpected” behind at Talladega?
C U P S TA N D I N G S Several NASCAR playoff drivers, such as Kyle Busch (18) and Martin Truex Jr. (78), got caught in Talladega’s clutches.[AP/DALE DAVIS]
1. Martin Truex Jr. 3120 2. Brad Keselowski 3101 3. Kyle Larson 3096 4. Kevin Harvick 3089 5. Denny Hamlin 3088 6. Chase Elliott 3087 7. Ryan Blaney 3076 8. Jimmie Johnson 3074 9. Kyle Busch 3067 10. Matt Kenseth 3066 11. Ricky Stenhouse Jr.3052 12. Jamie McMurray 3045
THREE THINGS WE LEARNED
GODWIN’S PICKS FOR KANSAS
1. Twist and shout
2. Magic 300
3. Junior says
As predicted, Talladega shook up the playoff points standings. Only four of the 12 playoff drivers were running at the finish, with three on the lead lap. This race was especially brutal, evidenced by the fact only 14 cars were on the track for the checkered flag. “It was just crazy,” said Kyle Larson.
Like Team Penske teammate Joey Logano before him, Brad Keselowski won in his 300th career Cup Series start. Kez has 24 wins to Logano’s 18. This win was more survival. “It was one of those crazy days,” Keselowski said. “I think we have seen that at the plate tracks this year.”
Sunday’s race was the last for Dale Earnhardt Jr. at Talladega. He sat on the pole and finished seventh. “I know a lot of folks came to see this race just for the fact that it was my last plate race, and trust me, I wanted to win it for all those folks,” he said. “Couldn’t get it done.”
— Godwin Kelly, godwin.kelly@news-jrnl.com
WINNER: Kyle Busch REST OF TOP 5: Martin Truex Jr., Chase Elliott, Kevin Harvick, Dale Earnhardt Jr. FIRST ONE OUT: Joey Logano DARK HORSE: Ricky Stenhouse Jr. DON’T BE SURPRISED IF: In a Toyota vs. Toyota battle, Busch beats Truex by a nose to advance in the playoffs.
THREE THINGS TO WATCH 1. Kansas cut There are 12 drivers still active in the Cup Series playoffs. Four of those drivers will be shown the exit after the next stop at Kansas Speedway. Martin Truex Jr. and Brad Keselowski can sleep this week because they advanced with wins at Charlotte and Talladega, respectively. The dogfight will be all around Jimmie Johnson, who is eighth in points. Kyle Busch lurks only seven points behind.
MOTOR MOUTHS PODCAST Hey, look who made it through the Talladega mayhem: The Daytona Motor Mouths! Join us as we advance through the playoffs. Tune in online at www.newsjournalonline.com/ daytonamotormouths
2017 SCHEDULE AND WINNERS Feb. 18: The Clash at Daytona (Joey Logano) Feb. 23: Can-Am Duels at Daytona (Chase Elliott and Denny Hamlin) Feb. 26: Daytona 500 (Kurt Busch) March 5: Folds of Honor Quick Trip 500 at Atlanta (Brad Keselowski) March 12: Kobalt 400 at Las Vegas (Martin Truex Jr.) March 19: Good Sam 500k at Phoenix (Ryan Newman) March 26: Auto Club 400 at Fontana (Kyle Larson) April 2: STP 500 at Martinsville (Brad Keselowski) April 9: O’Reilly Auto Parts 500 at Texas (Jimmie Johnson) April 23: Food City 500 at Bristol (Jimmie Johnson) April 30: Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond (Joey Logano) May 7: Geico 500 at Talladega (Ricky Stenhouse Jr.)
FEUD OF THE WEEK DAVID RAGAN VS. MARTIN TRUEX JR.: Truex got into the back bumper of Ragan’s No. 38 Ford, which turned sideways in heavy traffic in Turn 3, igniting the “Big One” crash on Lap 173 (of 188). GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: Truex immediately took responsibility. “Just trying to get some track position and have a good day and ended up causing a wreck, so I hate it for everybody,” he said.
W H AT ’ S O N TA P
2. The 1.5 factor Three of the last five races will be staged at tracks measuring 1.5 miles, including the championship final at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The schedule favors Martin Truex Jr., who has five wins this season, with four on 1.5-mile ovals. His primary rival, Kyle Busch, has four wins, but none on 1.5-mile ovals. He has two wins on 1-mile tracks, another at 2-mile Pocono and his fourth
There was nothing unexpected about that mess. Though we gotta say, even by plate-racin’ standards, finishing with just 11 cars taking the final green flag, and just eight at speed off the final turn, was something to behold — you know, if you like that sort of thing. The last laps, with a handful of cars darting in and out and around, had the look of an old IROC race.
The only happy scene at Talladega’s end: Brad Keselowski and crew in Victory Lane. [ASSOCIATED PRESS/BRYNN ANDERSON] on a short track. Advantage, Truex.
3. Freakish Fords Ford drivers have nine wins through 31 Cup Series races this season. They swept the four restrictor-plate races held at Daytona and Talladega, thanks in big part to the horsepower
produced by Roush Yates Racing Engines, which lost its co-founder, Robert Yates, two weeks ago. Brad Keselowski’s Talladega victory snapped a 13-race losing streak for the folks at the Blue Oval. Keselowski’s last win was in April.
