Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito visits Chester to celebrate $1M MassWorks grant By AMY PORTER Correspondent CHESTER – Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito visited Chester on Thursday, accompanied by Michael Knapik, director of the Baker-Polito administration’s Western Massachusetts office in Springfield. Also visiting were Francisca Heming, district highway director for MassDOT, and Jacqueline Furtado, project manager for MassWorks Infrastructure Program. The occasion for the visit was to celebrate a $1 million grant for a 5 ½ mile stretch of East River Road awarded by the MassWorks infrastructure grant program in partnership with MassDOT. Before the Lt. Governor’s arrival, Chester highway department assistant Rosanne McClaflin said she wrote the grant with the assistance of many who came before her seeking funds to repair
One person sent to hospital following early Friday morning crash By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD–An early morning accident Friday on Mill Street sent one person to the hospital, according to Westfield Police. The accident occurred in the area of 74 Mill St. along a bend in the road Friday morning, around 1:30 a.m. According to Westfield Police Capt. Michael McCabe, the vehicle had struck a stone retaining wall of a home on Mill Street. One person, the operator, was transported to Baystate Medical Center via Westfield Fire ambulance and personnel for treatment following the accident. According to McCabe, the operator appeared to have attempted to overcompensate for the turn, which may have contributed to the accident. Police reported no signs of impairment of the operator but noted that the operator was cited.
the road. “If you didn’t put it together, this wouldn’t be happening,” responded Chester selectman Rene Senecal to McClaflin. Upon her arrival, Polito greeted the various town officials who were present, many of whom she has met in previous visits to the hilltowns. She said having a home base in Worcester allows her to give a voice to Western Massachusetts. “This is a great project that will really make a difference for a road that’s deteriorating,” she said. McClaflin then gave a brief presentation on the East River Road project. She showed photos of severe deterioration around the edges of the roads, and severe drop offs. She said the edges of the road were filled with sand. Temporary concrete barriers also lined a portion of the road which borders the Middle Branch of the Westfield River that was
washed out in flooding during Tropical Storm Irene. Other areas of the road were laden with potholes, cracking, deteriorated and really dangerous, McClaflin said. She said the plan is to do a full depth reclamation of the road, which is the longest lasting repair. Polito, who said her family’s business has been in road work and utility work for three generations, asked whether there were any under surface utilities along the road. John Murray, Chester Highway Supervisor said they would have to replace some culverts along the way. The original estimate for the job, following a study for scenic byways done a few years ago was $6.5 million, including overlooks and pulloffs. McClaflin said they had eliminated those features, and are going to resur-

She said the new estimate is $968,000, and if they go over the $1 million grant, will be able to supplement the work with Chapter 90 funds. She added that she is a little worried about the guard rails. McClaflin estimated the job would take 2 ½ weeks. Senecal said with drainage, six to eight weeks. The town plans to start the work in early spring. See Chester, Page 8
South Broad Street business fire update Gregory John Maichack will lead a free adult workshop Nov. 9 at the Westfield Athenaeum. (Submitted photo)
Athenaeum plans free pastel paint workshop
By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—A fire Thursday night left a business with significant damage, according to the Westfield Fire Department. The fire occurred around 11:25 p.m. Thursday at 66 South Broad St., according to Westfield Fire Deputy Chief Eric Bishop. The business, JC Danczak, Inc., a company that specializes in packaging and manufacturing, as well as re-purposing and recycling wax for items like fire starters, sustained significant damage from the fire. However, no injuries were reported and the building itself was saved, according to Bishop. “The Westfield Fire Department, in conjunction with a functioning sprinkler system, saved the building,” Bishop said. Bishop said that the department was aware while responding to the scene that there were possible combustible fuels on site and in instances like that, he said firefighters take extra precautions. This information was available due in part to previous visits to the location by the department, as part of their attempt to have annual visits to businesses in the city, See Fire Update, Page 8

The Rotary Club sees this event as a great opportunity for individuals in the community to make an impact and join one of these organizations. “There are organizations out here that are doing an awful lot and they could always use the extra help,” said Rotary Club member Bob Fox. Rotary Club President Chris Boyd added that the event can have a benefit for people attending. “Our clubs is always looking for new members,” said Boyd. According to Fox, the Rotary Club is still seeking any other service organizations to join the event. If any group is interested in being part of this program, contact Fox at 413-579-4585.

Burglar gets prison for taking $1, plant he confused for pot ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania man who stole $1 and a houseplant he thought was marijuana during a series of break-ins in March has been sentenced to up to 15 years in prison. The Morning Call reports 21-yearold Maico Rosado Jr. was sentenced Wednesday to 7½ to 15 years after pleading guilty in August to robbery and three counts of burglary. Police say Rosado broke into Jabber Jaws Bar & Grille in Allentown. Police say the manager confronted Rosado but backed off when Rosado pointed a gun at him. Rosado then made off with a keepsake dollar. From there, police say Rosado broke into a house and left with a plant. Officers say he then threatened a woman with his gun before taking her purse. He was arrested shortly afterward.
Woman wins hearts with weird voice-to-text comment on site BOSTON (AP) — A Massachusetts woman is generating online buzz for accidentally sharing more than she intended on The New York Times’ website. Christine McMorrow says she was using her iPhone’s voice-to-text function to leave a comment on a political story Thursday when she was interrupted by a friend’s visit. She says the phone continued transcribing parts of their conversation and posted it online. It starts out, “Zero optimism that the Democrats can ever regain,” before shifting to a rambling runon sentence with references to hard-boiled eggs, a visit to Cape Cod and a knee that needed to be iced. The comment was shared thousands of times online, with New York Magazine calling it the “single best comment of the year.” McMorrow told The Boston Globe it was “embarrassing” and “very weird.”

n Oct. 28, 1726, the original edition of “Gulliver’s Travels,” a satirical novel by Jonathan Swift, was first published in London.
ON THIS DATE:
In 1636, the General Court of Massachusetts passed a legislative act establishing Harvard College. In 1776, the Battle of White Plains was fought during the Revolutionary War, resulting in a limited British victory. In 1886, the Statue of Liberty, a gift from the people of France, was dedicated in New York Harbor by President Grover Cleveland. In 1914, Yugoslav nationalist Gavrilo Princip, whose assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg, sparked World War I, was sentenced in Sarajevo to 20 years’ imprisonment. (He died in 1918.) In 1936, President Franklin D. Roosevelt rededicated the Statue of Liberty on its 50th anniversary. In 1940, Italy invaded Greece during World War II. In 1958, the Roman Catholic patriarch of Venice, Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, was elected Pope; he took the name John XXIII. The Samuel Beckett play “Krapp’s Last Tape” premiered in London. In 1962, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev informed the United States that he had ordered the dismantling of missile bases in Cuba; in return, the U.S. secretly agreed to remove nuclear missiles from U.S. installations in Turkey. In 1965, Pope Paul VI issued a Declaration on the Relation of the Church with Non-Christian Religions which, among other things, absolved Jews of collective guilt for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
In 1976, former Nixon aide John D. Ehrlichman entered a federal prison camp in Safford, Arizona, to begin serving his sentence for Watergate-related convictions (he was released in April 1978). In 1980, President Jimmy Carter and Republican presidential nominee Ronald Reagan faced off in a nationally broadcast, 90-minute debate in Cleveland. In 1991, what became known as “The Perfect Storm” began forming hundreds of miles east of Nova Scotia; lost at sea during the storm were the six crew members of the Andrea Gail, a swordfishing boat from Gloucester, Massachusetts.
TEN YEARS AGO: Stacy Peterson, the 23-year-old fourth wife of police sergeant Drew Peterson, went missing in suburban Chicago. (Her fate has never been determined; Drew Peterson was convicted in Sept. 2012 of murdering his third wife, Kathleen Savio (SAH’-vee-oh).) Fire ravaged a North Carolina beach house, killing seven college students. Argentina’s first lady, Cristina Fernandez, claimed victory in the country’s presidential election; she became the first woman elected to the post. The Boston Red Sox swept to their second World Series title in four years with a 4-3 win over the Colorado Rockies in Game 4. Country star Porter Wagoner, 80, died in Nashville.
FIVE YEARS AGO:
Airlines canceled more than 7,000 flights in advance of Hurricane Sandy, transit systems in New York, Philadelphia and Washington were shut down, and forecasters warned the New York area could see an 11-foot wall of water. President Barrack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney altered their campaign travel plans because of the approaching superstorm. The San Francisco Giants won their second World Series title in three years, beating the Detroit Tigers 4-3 in 10 innings to complete a fourgame sweep.
ONE YEAR AGO: The FBI dropped what amounted to a political bomb on the Clinton campaign when it announced it was investigating whether emails on a device belonging to disgraced ex-congressman Anthony Weiner, the estranged husband of one of Clinton’s closest aides, Huma Abedin, might contain classified information. The Cleveland Indians held off the Chicago Cubs 1-0 for a 2-1 lead as the World Series returned to Wrigley Field for the first time since 1945.

Rep. Velis weekly update Hello Westfield! I hope that everybody has been doing well and enjoying the beautiful fall weather we’ve had. This week, as usual, has been crazy, but for the update, I want to focus on a few important bills that we passed this Wednesday. One of these bills we passed aims to remedy the misuse of handicapped parking placards. These placards are designed to provide closer parking spaces to building entrances for those who have a certified condition. Sadly, studies have shown that there are several ways in which these placards can be misused. The new legislation gives the registrar authority in requesting medical information, requires the applicant to sign under the penalties of perjury, and deters the people from purposely misleading the medical board when applying for a placard. The legislation also increases the penalty for the abuse of a placard. In the study, there
REP. JOHN VELIS were some instances where family members were continuing to use a placard after the handicapped placard holder had passed away, or were using the placard even if the rightful holder was not with them at the time. When unauthorized people use these spaces, it takes away the access for those who have the right to those spaces for certified reasons. I’m glad we were able to take this important measure and keep those spaces avail-
able for those who really need them. Another important bill we were able to pass this week extends federal OSHA protections to municipal employees and quasi-public agencies, an important step in the fight for workplace safety. The bill will bring OSHA protections to 400,000 or more public employees. It is imperative to have these workplaces safe- not only does this provide employees with a peace of mind in regards to safety, but it will help employers as well. There is an anticipated $200 million per year to be saved in sick leave and workers comp because of higher workplace safety standards. OSHA baselines will create a single set of standards for using the best practices. Now, if an accident occurs at a jobsite, OSHA will be able to go in and help to correct the issue. It is important that we have jobs and economic development, but we also

To the Editor:
Westfield’s Changing Point In September I wrote an article “Westfield’s Tipping Point” This article will continue on that same thread but expand into the facts we must face in Westfield and my views. I would like to say Westfield is a great place to be, my friends and family are here and this is why I am fighting to bring Westfield into balance. As November rapidly approaches politics has gone into full effect. A majority of the city council that supported a six percent tax increase is now changing and stating they are protecting the residents. Ads can be seen on billboards and social media and state they will not increase the tax. So why now, and how? Sadly it is the same old story. It’s election time. In June the majority of the council declared residents could absorb a five to six percent increase. Some stated the budget was perfect as presented and needed no alterations as written. Now flash forward two months. New candidates have entered the arena. People are upset by the status quo and want candidates that truly represent the residents and control the spending. Can the residents at this point truly believe that everyone who supported and voted for the increase now thinks that fewer taxes is better? If so… how and why? As a resident and voter, your voice is needed to make a change. Let’s start with some simple observations. Before the election started to heat up, a tax increase of six percent was reasonable by more than fifty percent of the city council with one absent (enough to pass it). That was just in June. How is it now unreasonable and the budget must be cut? Well knocking on doors I can say ninety-nine percent of you agreed this was bad. This, in my opinion, did not go unnoticed. Now let’s break this down. In ten years taxes have increased. We had one exception of last year which is touted as a great thing. If we review that one exception of last year and this one, we have borrowed out of the “City of Westfield Savings Account” to avoid increasing taxes in these examples. Westfield has not addressed the elephant in the city. The spending versus income! Knocking on doors has enlightened me to many things. We often misuse words like a tax cut. When is the last time anyone has seen a cut? We need to limit the “Tax increase“ so it does not outpace the city’s income. In short, we can’t continue to spend more than we take in. As an example, it would be like spending one hundred and fifty dollars a month on a credit card and only making one hundred dollars a month to pay that same bill. What has been proposed is taking a loan out of your 401k or savings to make that monthly payment. Taking money out of the healthcare and roads may not be the best course to help residents and I am absolutely against taking money from roads. Westfield has the fourth largest amount of roads in Massachusetts and they are already underfunded. I do appreciate that the Mayor is looking to help residents with tax relief but I’m not sure these are the options we are looking for. One of my other platforms is water. Westfield has challenges with well contamination. Last check the state has tested 57 wells. Of those, 3 had unfavorable results and carbon filters were implemented at those locations. 20 other residents have not responded to the two mailings requesting access to test. Several inquiries have been made to confirm accountability and funding of this problem. From my knowledge, the response has been noncommittal. Westfield needs to ensure accountability for this or in the end, it will be the taxpayers that pay the price. The water issue is not just confined to this contamination issue. While speaking to people, many have issues with tap water smelling like swamp water or chlorinated like a pool. While neither example leads one to say there is a clinical problem it should lead to more questions and meaningful conversations. Westfield has 220 miles of underground piping and some of that could be up to 100 years old. If you believe you have water problems I encourage you to reach out to the DPW directly with your concerns at (413) 572-6226 or online through SeeClickFix. In my “Westfield’s Tipping Point” article I was asked about transparency and did it mean a negative connotation. The answer is yes and no. Transparency, as used in science, engineering, business, the humanities and in other social contexts, implies openness, communication, and accountability. To this end I believe all subcommittee meetings should be recorded and available. Is that realistic day one… maybe not? Let’s start with a few key ones. Another more economical option may be an audio recording only. We should also standardized subcommittee meetings just like city council meetings so residents know where and when they should attend. Right or wrong, people’s perception is a reality and should be worked on. Why am I a good choice for city council? I have a track record of bringing people together to achieve what is best. Politics is not all about an individual. It’s about common ground, ideas and goals. Westfield needs fiscally responsible people in our city council. What serves me best is that I am not a politician. To this end I have no other interest other than serving you, my neighbors and the community at large. My main goal, when elected, is to bring Westfield into a balance between spending and taxes. I believe in smart investments in the City and a rate of return. I will not blindly accept a new budget that will raise taxes without reviewing each budget line item. I will ensure we are spending money where it is needed, making the tough calls, and propose cuts where it makes sense. I believe Westfield should be business friendly. We should strive to make it easier and lower the cost to open up businesses in Westfield as well as retaining the businesses we do have. It is my leadership skills and experience working with a diverse group of people I wish to bring to Westfield. If elected as one of your City Councilors I will speak plainly. It may not always be what you want to hear, but it will be from the heart and the truth. Lastly, I would like to thank the residents and businesses of Westfield. I did not know what to expect going door to door on this adventure. You were all very welcoming and I was truly humbled by this experience. Thanks in advance for all the support and I would request one of your votes on November 7th. Every vote does matter.

Letter to the Editor To the Editor As another campaign season winds down with Election Day nearly upon us, I have a renewed sense of pride in our City, a sense of accomplishment for the progress we are seeing and a desire to continue serving you to address the ongoing challenges we face. I write to share some of that with you, and hope that you will share my vision for our City – and support my re-election to the Westfield City Council on November 7. After knocking on literally hundreds of doors and speaking with you, your neighbors and so many others across the City, and attending a variety of community events over the past several weeks in particular, I am reminded once again of the greatness of our city – and why I want to continue to represent you on the Council. Occasions I attended in recent weeks varied from the Pumpkin Fest, the Sarah the Fiddler Concert at the Senior Center, to the Vietnam Veterans Ceremony at Parker Park, and the 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony on Broad Street. The purpose and the people behind each of these events and others points to the values that we all share – from community building and the arts, to remembering our veterans and those lost in a national tragedy – and why I am so proud of our City and proud to serve all of you. Perhaps most noticeable in my travels across the City over the past several weeks is the substantial progress on the City’s infrastructure that we’ve made over the past four years, including our roads, sewers and fiber, all of which I have supported – and more is on the way for 2018 and beyond. In FY17 alone, streets or sections of streets across the city have been either newly paved – including Montgomery Road, North Elm Street, Southwick Road, and Franklin Street – or received microsurfacing, such as Union Street, and more paving is on the way. Construction for long-awaited sewer access has been underway for areas of Paper Mill Road and Munger Hill Road, and will be coming to Plantation Circle in 2018. Meanwhile, Whip City Fiber’s rollout of high-speed internet has now reached approximately 40% of the City, towards its 70% goal by the end of 2018. Two years ago this week, we opened the Westfield Senior Center – which I proudly supported by voting in support of the bond for its construction – finally providing an incredible home to the wealth of activities and programs for the thousands of our City’s seniors who utilize the facility each year. In short, there has been significant progress in improving our City over just the past few years. As the only At-Large Candidate from Ward 4, I hope to have the opportunity in the next Council term to work with the next Ward 4 Councilor to advance sewers in the Llewellyn Drive area (as is currently tentatively planned) by supporting the funding of the engineering of those plans in 2019. I also look forward to providing an additional voice on the Council for Ward 4 residents as the Western Avenue project unfolds within the next year. On the Finance Committee (on which I have served for the past two years), we have made much progress to bring greater value to your tax dollars by cleaning up the process of utilizing free cash to cover requests for prior-year expenses – which in some cases were two or even three years old. Ultimately, this allowed the Council to be in a position to support a motion from the Mayor last year to utilize free cash to help offset a FY17 tax increase. I am proud to have been a part of that effort, and hope we can offer similar relief for FY18. This year, following a $463,000 reduction in the amended FY18 budget, which I supported back in June, we have just received a request from the Mayor to reduce the FY18 budget further by over $1.5 million due to cost savings identified in the City’s current budget. Taken together, the cuts made in June, along with this appropriation reduction, present real tax relief for residents – well below the 6% increase that many other candidates say is imminent. In addition, the forthcoming free cash for which we are expecting certification from the state next month could result in even further tax relief for city taxpayers this year. The Council will be voting on the $1.5 million reduction at our November 2nd meeting, and if the free cash numbers are certified at a level the Mayor is comfortable with for even further budget offsets, we could be voting on a motion for that from him for this later next month. Therefore, while our June cut is set, the votes are still to come on additional reductions for the FY18 budget – presenting opportunity for substantial tax relief in the near term. On the economic development front, the outlook for the City’s continued commercial growth is also positive. Interest in Westfield among site selection companies is on the rise – particularly for the Target property between Falcon Drive and North Road, and for the Turnpike Industrial Park – that could generate substantial new revenues for the City. Meanwhile, the city’s bond rating with Standard & Poor’s remains at AA level – their second highest rating – where it has been since 2014. This is more good news for the City, keeping us in a position of strenght for getting major infrastructure projects done through bonds at more competitive borrowing rates going forward. As we talk about economic development, however, we must remember that one of the many audiences who view our meetings are the companies looking to locate their businesses here. As Councilors elected by the people, we need to do a better job not only presenting our City, but ourselves and in showcasing how we can help companies to locate here. If re-
elected to the City Council for another term, I will continue these efforts and my work for a civil tone on the Council not only for your sake, but also for the face of the City we are showing to the world at each Council meeting. We also need to ever mindful of the strength of our school system, and the measures that companies look at when considering locating here. Criteria such as average SAT scores and graduation rates matter to companies who will be looking for a skilled and well-educated workforce. As a strong proponent of our schools and educational system, and as a parent of three students of the Westfield Public Schools, I will continue to do what I can to keep our school system competitive so that we can continue to attract the companies we need to provide the jobs and the revenue we need to sustain ourselves as a City. I have been an engaged and solutions-oriented member of the Council, and have been an effective representative for your needs and expectations as a resident and taxpayer of the City. My record shows that I have preserved funding for education, infrastructure, and public safety, while also showing that I am willing to support targeted cuts where appropriate. I have continuously demonstrated my ability to listen intently, ask thoughtful questions of you as well as city officials and others in my research of the issues, and in my pursuit of and proposals for solutions. I continue to work with the Finance Committee Chair to identify efficiencies and improve the City’s operations to make our tax dollars work better for us all. Despite what you hear from some, there has been substantial progress in infrastructure improvements and improved fiscal management in the City - and more is on the way. All of this is not to say that we are without our challenges. Budgets across all city departments are tight, and City employees continue to do more with less given budget constraints. However, we must do continue to do what we can to have open lines of communication with all departments, to work through challenges, find opportunities, and ultimately, reach solutions to give you, the taxpayer, the best value we can for your tax dollars. Please remember to vote on Tuesday, November 7. Polls will be open from 7:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. As you may recall from our last election, the winner of the seventh At-Large seat on the Council won by only three votes - - so every vote truly does count! As always, you should feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns at matthew.vanheynigen@cityofwestfield.org, or by phone at (413) 335-4548. It has been both an honor and a pleasure to serve all of you in working to make our City a better place for us all by playing a role in finding solutions for our challenges. I respectfully ask for one of your At-Large votes to continue to serving you in this fashion on the City Council. Sincerely, Matt VanHeynigen At-Large City Councilor

‘Infuriated’ House leader orders review of harassment policy By BOB SALSBERG Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Describing himself as "infuriated and deeply disturbed" about allegations of sexual harassment at the Statehouse, the Democratic leader of the Massachusetts House on Friday ordered an immediate review of his chamber's policies on harassment and retaliation, while promising to investigate any reported incidents. Speaker Robert DeLeo took to the House floor shortly after a column appeared in The Boston Globe that detailed a series of alleged incidents over the past two decades or so, including one in which a female lobbyist said a legislator strongly implied to her that he would vote for a bill in exchange for sex. None of the women who spoke to the newspaper nor any of the men they accused were identified by name. "I am infuriated and deeply disturbed to hear that a dozen women who are professionally associated with the (Statehouse) have described being sexually harassed while here," said DeLeo. "While I understand and support their desire to remain anonymous, the fact that victims fear the consequences to their careers of reporting the harassment is as upsetting as the harassment itself." DeLeo's order instructs House counsel to launch a comprehensive review of all policies and procedures to ensure "a workplace free of sexual harassment and retaliation," for all House members and staff. The review also would include an evaluation of training materials provided to legislators and employees, and protocols for investigating complaints. And it would review whether victims of sexual harassment feel empowered to safely report such incidents without retaliation. DeLeo, who has been speaker since 2009, said he has always maintained a zero tolerance policy for harassment and sought a "positive work environment" for the Legislature. "To hear that we may have failed is deeply troubling to me," the speaker said. Revelations of sexual harassment have emerged in several statehouses around the country in the weeks since allegations were made public against Hollywood film producer Harvey Weinstein. The California Senate has hired a law firm to investigate after women described a culture of sexual intimidation. Lawmakers in Rhode Island and Oregon have spoken up to accuse male colleagues of inappropriate touching or suggesting that sexual favors be a condition for advancing bills. DeLeo said he took no comfort in knowing that Massachusetts was not alone. He promised that any reported incident of harassment would be thoroughly investigated and "appropriate action" taken against offenders. Rep. Sarah Peake, a Provincetown Democrat and member of DeLeo's leadership team, praised the speaker's focus on the fear of repercussions that cause many victims to avoid coming forward. "All of us who work in this beautiful, this historic building, take all of this seriously," said Peake, who told reporters she had never experienced sexual harassment at the Statehouse. Rep. Bradley Jones, the House Republican leader, offered strong support for the review ordered by DeLeo.

Ex-school counselor sentenced to 3 years in rape of student WOBURN, Mass. (AP) — A former Massachusetts high school counselor has been sentenced to 3 ½ years in prison for sexually assaulting a 15-year-old student. WFXT-TV reports 33-year-old Jenna Tarabelsi was sentenced Thursday after a jury previously found her guilty of two counts of rape of a child. Tarabelsi was a career counselor at Medford Vocational Technical High School from 2012 to 2015. Prosecutors say she assaulted the student in 2014 in a parking lot after school. She was suspended by the school when officials learned of the alleged assault in 2015. Tarabelsi's attorney, Juliane Balliro, says she was pleased her client was acquitted of some charges but plans to appeal the jury's verdict.
Prosecutor: Police shooting of man who fired was justified BOSTON (AP) — Four Boston police officers have been cleared of any wrongdoing in the fatal shooting of a man who opened fire on them last year. A report released by Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel Conley on Friday says the officers were justified when they shot 29-year-old Peter Fanfan in the city's Dorchester neighborhood in February 2016. The investigation found that Fanfan was fleeing the scene of a violent home invasion he had just committed with another man when the officers arrived and confronted him. Conley says Fanfan opened fire on the officers before they returned fire, striking him five times. He died at the scene. None of the officers were injured. The report says the use of deadly force was "a reasonable and lawful exercise of self-defense and defense of others."
When it comes to 21st century multimedia platforms, “hyper local” is a term you hear a lot. It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newpapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore. But, day in and day out, The Westfield News provides consistant coverage of the stories you need to know about, that are important to your city, town, neighborhood and home.

Attorney Brian T. Kelly answers questions as he leaves U.S. District Court with his client, founder of Insys Therapeutics John Kapoor, after Kapoor was arrested earlier Thursday, Oct. 26, 2017, in Phoenix. Kapoor and other defendants in the fraud and racketeering case are accused of offering bribes to doctors to write large numbers of prescriptions for a fentanyl-based pain medication meant only for cancer patients with severe pain. A judge set bail at $1 million for Kapoor, saying he must wear electronic monitoring and surrender his passports. (AP Photo/Ross D. Franklin)
PROSECUTORS
US conspiracy came amid slow sales of opioid By ANITA SNOW Associated Press PHOENIX (AP) — A new mouth spray that delivered the powerful painkiller fentanyl to end-stage cancer patients wasn't selling as well as anticipated. So drug company executives moved quickly to make its production worthwhile. U.S. court records in the case against an immigrant billionaire who is one of Arizona's wealthiest men describe the daunting market challenges that Insys Therapeutics founder John N. Kapoor and fellow executives faced after launching the opioid medication Subsys in 2012. The highly addictive drug was going to cost a cancer patient up to thousands of dollars a month to control intolerable levels of pain. It could only be prescribed by a medical practitioner registered with the Drug Enforcement Administration, and it was among several cancer pain medicines already available. Five years later, Subsys is at the heart of the case against Insys Therapeutics executives, including Kapoor, 74, of Phoenix, who is charged with leading a nationwide conspiracy to bribe doctors and pharmacists to widely prescribe the potent painkiller to people who didn't need it. Defense attorney Brian T. Kelly, a high-profile Boston lawyer, has said Kapoor is not guilty. It comes amid an opioid epidemic that claims thousands of lives each year and led President Donald Trump to declare a nationwide public health emergency. The case is just the latest example of how profits have become more important than health for many U.S. pharmaceutical firms, New Jersey-based health care analyst Steve Brozak said Friday. The aggressive market tactics that federal prosecutors described at Insys have become acceptable, said Brozak of WWB Securities, a health care research firm that tracks companies in the sector. "The only reason (Kapoor) was put in handcuffs and did the perp walk is because the marketing involved an opioid," he said. "This is an example of a greater addiction, not to opioids, but to big sales. The opioid crisis is the logical extension of the earnings demand." To make Subsys more profitable, Insys executives turned to aggressive marketing tactics, such as bribes and kickbacks that included "speaker fees and honoraria for marketing events, food and entertainment" for doctors and pharmacists who prescribed the drug, according to an updated federal fraud and racketeering indictment in the ongoing case. The new charges were filed this week in Massachusetts. In exchange, the practitioners are accused of writing large numbers of prescriptions for patients, most of whom were not diagnosed with cancer. Prosecutors say the scam stretched across the U.S., involving pharmacies and pain management clinics and practitioners from Saginaw, Michigan, to southwest Florida and Laredo, Texas. Federal prosecutors in Boston first brought the case against six Insys executives and managers, including former CEO Michael L. Babich, who are set to go to trial next year and have pleaded not guilty. The updated indictment unsealed this week brings new charges against them and alleges Kapoor and the others provided kickbacks to doctors and conspired to defraud insurance providers. The court records describe events that encouraged sales representatives to push practitioners to prescribe ever higher doses of the fentanyl spray. A video at one event purportedly showed company employees dancing, rapping and singing with a lifesize bottle of the highest dosage of the spray, suggesting that increased amounts were "not a problem!" To get paid back by insurance companies that didn't want to fund the drug for non-cancer patients, the company established a "reimbursement center" that used employees to suggest they were calling on behalf of a doctor and the patient in question had cancer — even if that wasn't true, the indictment says. Kapoor founded Insys Therapeutics in 1990. Its stock price has tumbled amid the legal trouble in recent months, but the company said this week that it is under new management and has assumed responsibility for its former employees' actions. The drug is question, fentanyl, is useful for managing pain for people with end-stage cancers, said Dr. Karen Sibert, an associate clinical professor with UCLA Health's Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine. But opioids are dangerous when used incorrectly and without medical supervision because they can cause a person to stop breathing, she said. "If you have extreme pain from end-stage cancer, the risk from stopping breathing is an acceptable risk," she said. "But it's not if you are a young person with back pain." Kapoor emigrated from India decades ago and earned a Ph.D. in medicinal chemistry from the University of Buffalo in New York, where the pharmacy school is named for him and his wife to honor their philanthropy. In addition to Insys Therapeutics, which went public in 2013, Kapoor founded Illinois-based Akorn Pharmaceuticals. He also has a company that operates seven restaurants. Forbes said several years ago that Kapoor was worth $2.4 billion. That has fallen amid his company's legal woes, but the magazine still listed Kapoor's worth at $1.75 billion on Friday. A judge set bail for Kapoor at $1 million and said he must wear electronic monitoring and surrender his passports.

Polito asked whether engineering would be required. McClaflin said they didn’t need to do much for the road reclamation, but would be doing some stormwater work that will require some engineering. Senecal said although the add ons like overlooks from the previous study were taken away, the basic engineering is the same. He said they have a strong engineering plan for the road, which includes pulverizing the road to design depth, removing excess material, and adding stabilizing agents, mixing and composting. The final surface of the road will be coarse. Senecal said that Palmer Paving already has the bid to do paving in Chester, and is MassDOT approved. Furtado of MassWorks said as long as the bid was properly procured and legal, that would be fine. “I’m very excited that this road is getting done through MassWorks,” said Heming of MassDOT. Taking advantage of the visit, Polito then asked for an update on the Hilltown Collaborative, which was formed through a Community Compact agreement with the six Gateway hilltowns and the Baker-Polito administration in May 2016. Andy Myers, chair of the Hilltown Collaborative, said that they are on their second year, and are working on two different opportunities. He told Polito about the economic development study done by Elan Marketing through a Community Compact grant, which led to the hiring of Jeanne LeClair as the economic development director, also a one-year grant funded position. Myers said LeClair has set up a website, formed new initiatives such as the Enterprise Club at Gateway Regional High School, and also identified properties for development. “That’s a great story,” Polito said. LeClair then introduced herself, and said she was attracted to

the position because of the way the program and the collaborative are set up. She’s met with all six towns. and has 22 students signed up for the Enterprise Club, 21 of which are girls, and two who already have businesses. “We’re finding all these different pathways,” LeClair said. Polito asked LeClair to outline what businesses she might attract on the parcels she’s identified. LeClair responded that Broadband access which will be completed in Chester and Huntington next summer, will help attract online and homebased businesses. She also said warehouses such as Azure Green’s in Middlefield work for online businesses. Polito said she has visited Azure Green with Mike Knapik. Polito said regarding the Broadband piece, of 53 unserved communities, they’re now down to 8 by the end of the year. The others are doing it on their own or in the process of pole surveys. “It goes to what you’ve been saying about opportunities online,” she said. Patrick Beaudry of Pioneer Valley Planning Commission, a partner of the Community Compact work said he’s helping with the next step of branding and marketing. Polito said PVPC is a great partner in the effort. Beaudry said efficiency and regionalization are also being worked on with Community Compact dollars. Chester selectman Barbara Huntoon said that a proposal for shared financial services in the town is also advancing. Myers said a six-town workshop on a Saturday on shared financial services two months ago was well attended, with participation from vendors. “That moves a little slower than economic development,” Myers said, adding that people came with tough questions, worried about employees in their towns. “I have enjoyed so much the visits across the Commonwealth,
and to be able to work directly with you on moving towards your goals,” Polito said. “I think it’s very exciting. Thank you for all of your efforts,” she added. “I myself would like to say thanks very much. I’ve been here many years. Before, we talked about mutual aid only in emergencies, now we’re talking about shared services,” Senecal said. “We’re so grateful for your support,” added Huntoon. “I just want to say thank you,” said Olwen Dowling, one of the residents that fought for renovation of East River Road for years, who came to meet the Lt. Governor, In response to a question, Dowling said her family purchased land in Chester in 1975, and moved to the town in the late 80’s. After Polito and Knapik left to attend another meeting in the town of Mount Washington, Huntoon said she was “honored and thrilled that she came.” “It shows the commitment on the state level for local issues. That’s big for us, especially being pretty far away from the center.” Myers said. “The governor and lieutenant governor were selectmen, so they understand. We’re pretty excited for Chester’s future,” added Senecal.

Fire Update
Continued from Page 1 according to Bishop. This information is also in computer systems within fire apparatuses. According to business owner Robert Danczak, the business may stop producing fire starters following the fire, which are created with the recycled wax. “My impact is I don’t think we will make fire starters anymore,” he said. “The only issues I ever had was with the wax business,” Danczak added. He said that he first started his business in 1988 before incorporating in 1991. A previous fire occurred at the location, Danczak noted, which he said occurred in 2011. That fire, according to Danczak, had a principle cause related to melting wax at the time with gasoline. They have since moved to electrical means to perform wax melting. According to Danczak, about a quarter of their business comes from fire starters, and he will instead focus exclusively on distributing. Other uses for the recycled wax, Danczak said, include weatherproofing wooden cages for beehives, to purge extruding machines and for crafts. As of Friday around 3 p.m., the Westfield Fire Department, Westfield Police Department and the State Fire Marshal’s Office were involved in a joint investigation of the fire, with no cause yet determined, according to State Fire Marshal spokesperson Jennifer Mieth. However, Mieth reported that damages are estimated at about $150,000. More information will be provided as it becomes available.

“While we work in tandem, I incorporate anecdotes and useful technical information as we learn the basic stroke, blending, layering and scumbling,” he said. Maichack will present the basics of pastel painting, explaining and demonstrating all the strokes and techniques needed to capture any type of subject. In addition, he will provide all materials needed for the workshop. Participants will produce a 12” x 18” pastel painting on paper of a calla lily using purple, orchid and light yellow paint which they can take home. “In this new, highly researched two-hour workshop, participants will have fun producing their own pastel painting of Georgia O’Keeffe’s elegant Jimson flower that sold for $45.4 million,” said Joyce Peregrin, outreach and public services librarian, Westfield Athenaeum. “Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1 has been described as a vehicle for pure expression. Gregory Maichack will demonstrate how beginners to accomplished artists can pastel paint easily using techniques of masters such as O’Keeffe.” Peregrin added that Maichack has been in many national juried shows and was awarded numerous Massachusetts Cultural Council grants. “In addition to portraiture, his still lives and landscapes are represented by galleries from Kennebunkport, Maine, to San Francisco, California,” said Peregrin. Also, Maichack’s pastel paintings have been selected twice for the annual National Exhibition of the Academic Artists Association and as a result, he was invited to be a member of the prestigious organization, added Peregrin. Maichack has been a faculty member of the Museum Studio School at the George Walter Vincent Smith Art Museum in Springfield, and has taught at Westfield State University, Holyoke and Greenfield community colleges, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and The Guild in Northampton. Commissioned works over the years have included the pastel portrait of the past president of Westfield State University, Dr. Frederick Woodward, which was unveiled at the dedication of the Woodward Athletic/Academic Center, and a pastel portrait of the late Charles Merriam, co-founder of Merriam-Webster, Inc., unveiled by the Merriam-Webster Co. at the MerriamGilbert Public Library in West Brookfield.

Lancers hold off Bombers By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The defending West Sectional champion Westfield High School football team has taken their lumps this season – that’s often what happens when you are playing with a bulls-eye on your back – but continues to fight back everything Western Mass has to offer. On Friday, Westfield welcomed 5-2 Longmeadow to town and nearly turned the Lancers upside down. The Bombers, who entered the contest 0-6, lost a hard-fought battle, 23-18. Westfield rushed ahead from the outset when Dakotah Moynihan took a carry 20 yards into the end zone, scoring with 3:06 remaining in the opening quarter. Longmeadow quickly responded with a first quarter, 27-yard touchdown run from Joe Cosenzi. After the extra point, the Lancers led 7-6. Westfield answered back. Early in the third quarter, Moynihan scored again, this time on a two-yard touchdown jaunt to go up 12-7 with 10:25 left in the half. Longmeadow would not settle for a halftime deficit, scoring on a 34-yard touchdown pass from Carlo Calabrese to Nick Mishol and adding a 62-yard score from Clay Moseman, just before the half.

Four different players scored and Westfield Tech shut out Sci-Tech Friday. Freshman Jess Bush opened up the scoring, tallying a goal off an assist from freshman Christina Mosijchuk. Captain Sydnie Brock hit net off a direct kick well outside the 18-yard line. Captain Liliya Stepanchuk scored off a penalty kick. Freshman Chelsey Krupa netted a goal off a pass from Brock. Westfield Tech keepers Chelsey Krupa and Kiaraly Serrano combined for five saves. “My girls are ready for two days off before we end the regular season on Monday,” Westfield Tech coach Lyle Washington said. “We were a little slow the first half and missing quite a few opportunities but the girls came out strong the second half.” Westfield Tech looks to extend its winning streak to four games on Monday when the Tigers host the Putnam Beavers at Jachym Field at 4 p.m. After that, Westfield Tech will begin preparing for the first round of the Western Massachusetts tournament, expected to begin later in the week.

Bombers’ seniors shine Westfield 2, East Longmeadow 0 Senior Madeleine Fortier scored twice – both off of passes from Hannah Jarvis – and senior goalie Gwen Smith (12 saves) recorded a shutout in the final games of their high school careers on senior night. Senior captain Fiona Cioch played phenomenally as well in the midfield. All nine seniors, eight of whom are four-year players, played the full 60 minutes with Westfield coach Linda Rowbotham rotating in the remaining varsity players throughout the game. Seniors Kelsey Oleksak and Kailey King also delivered strong play in the midfield. Kiele Bryant, Delia Smith, and Julia Visconti were solid on “D.” “What an incredible bunch of young ladies,” Rowbotham said. “It was real neat to see how they finished their high school career. …Smiles and tears – it was a real fun, nice ending.” Rowbotham said it was exciting to see a large crowd, and thanked the

WESTFIELD – Westfield native Mason Balch was recently honored as one of the Bay State Game’s “Athletes of the Year.” Balch was chosen for being an outstanding athlete, student and person who represents his sport, school and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in an outstanding fashion. Balch participated in the Bay State Games Lacrosse competition in 2015-17. In each of his three years, he led the West to a gold medal. He was one of top players on the field among players from across Massachusetts. He attends the Williston-Northampton School, a private prep school in Easthampton, and is a resident of the Whip City. Over the course of his last season, Balch was named the team MVP and Offensive Player of the year as well as the Tournament Championship MVP and an All-League selection in the New England Prep School Athletic Conference. He is also a two-year team captain. He is considered one of the top lacrosse players in Western Massachusetts and has already committed to attend Bryant University in Rhode Island where he will play Division I lacrosse starting in the fall of 2018. In addition, he is one of the top players on the Williston-Northampton football team. As a student at Williston-Northampton School, Balch is a top Honors Student and is also a member of the school’s National Honors Society. At Bryant University he will attend their outstanding business school. Balch has a strong sense of community and is always giving back to others. He has served as a volunteer-coach for the Westfield Youth Lacrosse League, teaching young players about the game of lacrosse. He has also helped produce youth lacrosse clinics. He was selected as an athlete representative at the Bay State Games Western Massachusetts Athletes night help in the spring of 2017. Despite many other summer opportunities, Balch committed himself to the Bay State Games for three consecutive summers and is committed to the positive experience and opportunities that state games provide. He is also a selfless individual and actually sent in a nomination for a fellow team member to be considered as athlete of the year rather than promote himself. Mason Balch is the son of Michel Balch and Ivy Beltrandi. – Courtesy of Bay State Games

Dear Annie By ANNIE LANE
Deadbeat Son Enabled Dear Annie: My girlfriend, “Lenna,” and I have been together for about 2 1/2 years. She and her 30-year-old son, “Josh,” moved in with me about a year and a half ago. Josh has been nothing but a liar and a thief for most of his life, to the point that Lenna has told me to keep an eye on her purse while she is in the shower. Then, about a week ago, I caught Josh rifling through her purse. She has fibromyalgia and chronic back pain. I caught him stealing her pain pills, and he insisted that he was playing with the cat. I called him a liar, because the cat was sunning himself on the dining room table in front of the window. He said that he is always getting accused of things around the house and that he was going to move out. The next thing I knew, Lenna told me she would be leaving, too. She said that if her son isn’t welcome at my place, she doesn’t want to be there. It seems they believe that somehow I was the one who was at fault -- just because I caught him stealing her pain pills and I said something about it. I am just totally confused and feel betrayed. Lenna and I get along really well when he is not around, but when he is, everything falls apart. It’s as if he doesn’t want to grow up and she doesn’t want him to, either. -- Confused and Betrayed Dear Confused and Betrayed: Set foot in this mess and you’ll discover it’s quicksand. If Josh is stealing painkillers from his mother, he probably has a drug addiction. If Lenna continues defending her son’s actions and protecting him from consequences, she is enabling him. If you tie this rope around your waist and get caught in the push-pull routine, you’ll sink. Step back, and keep on solid ground by setting boundaries. Decide what you will and won’t accept in your home. Attend a meeting by Nar-Anon or Families Anonymous. Invite Lenna, too, but if she resists, don’t force it. It’s only a lifeline if the person is reaching for it. Dear Annie: I go to a large warehouse grocery that requires customers to stand in a line to have their receipt checked before they can exit the store. Generally, there are two store workers standing on either side of the exit doors, and two lines are formed by the customers. I have noticed that as I am heading toward the exit, there is a mad rush of people who scurry ahead of the people who are forming lines, wanting to get to the door before everyone else. With everything that is happening in the world today, I know my complaint about this sounds trivial. But when it happens time and time again, I begin to wonder what has happened to us as a society when common courtesy is completely ignored. Have we become so self-centered that we are blind to this behavior? -- Sad Sign of the Times Dear Sad Sign of the Times: A message to all line cutters: Cut it out. Think of every line as a free lesson in patience.
HINTS FROM HELOISE THIS WAY IN Dear Heloise: It seems like I always try to insert my USB CABLES the wrong way, sometimes several times in a row. I put a small drop of nail polish on the top side of my cable, using different colors for different ones. For example, one charger cable inserts into my wall outlet one way and my desk computer a different way, but I have pink and purple marks showing which ones are a match, and that makes it simpler to plug things in. -R.W. in Canada SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 78279-5000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com LIFE WITHOUT A WRINKLE Dear Heloise: I have a question: How do I keep the tops of my flat sheets flat? All of the top sheets develop nonremovable creases in the top “cuff” area. Pulling these flat before drying, ironing them and very carefully folding them doesn’t solve the problem, and it really annoys me! -- Sue O’H., via email Sue, it’s usually recommended to use the permanent-press cycle on the washer and dryer, if available. If not, for the washer, use warm water and a slower or shorter spin cycle. For the dryer, use a high temperature and about 10 minutes of air drying. Remove items from the dryer as soon as it stops, and hang or fold them. You probably will have to iron the “cuff” using a spray starch and a steam iron. -- Heloise

On The Tube Jack Bannon, cool-headed co-star of ‘Lou Grant,’ dies at 77 NEW YORK (AP) — Jack Bannon, who played the genial and raffish assistant city editor Art Donovan on “Lou Grant,” has died. His stepdaughter, Molly Allen, says Bannon died Wednesday in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, where he had lived since the mid-1990s. He was 77. Bannon was a regular on the acclaimed newspaper drama, which starred Ed Asner in the title role and aired on CBS from 1977 to 1982. The crusading journalists of the fictional Los Angeles Tribune were mostly high-spirited and sometimes volatile. But Art Donovan stood out as a calming, fastidious presence (as displayed in the opening titles as he carefully arranges his suit jacket on a hanger which he hooks on the coat stand). Before “Lou Grant,” Bannon appeared in such series as “Here’s Lucy,” ‘’Daniel Boone,” ‘’Mannix,” ‘’Kojak” and “The Rockford Files.” He later co-starred on the short-lived 1983 ABC medical drama “Trauma Center.” Both Bannon’s parents were actors. His mother, Bea Benaderet, was a regular on “The Beverly Hillbillies,” which she left to star in another longrunning sitcom, “Petticoat Junction.” His father, Jim Bannon, played the cowboy Red Ryder in several films. He had long been involved in the Coeur d’Alene Summer Theatre, as was his wife, Ellen Travolta Bannon, an actress and sister of John Travolta who is best known from the sitcoms “Joanie Loves Chachi” and “Charles in Charge.” She survives him.

NASCAR THIS WEEK SPEED FREAKS A few questions we had to ask ourselves Early guess: Who’s gonna be the Final Four in Homestead? GODSPEAK: Martin Truex Jr. will push all the way through. He will be joined by Brad Keselowski, Denny Hamlin and Chase Elliott. KEN’S CALL: Truex and Kyle Busch will each win in the next three weeks. The other two ... hmmm ... I’ll say Kez and Chase. Unless Jimmie wins at Martinsville, of course.
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
KANSAS
THREE THINGS WE LEARNED
Given that Kyle Larson was dumped from the playoffs, how do you rate his season? GODSPEAK: Engine failure in an elimination round, oh for Pete’s sake, was bad luck for the 2018 champion. KEN’S CALL: This season was a major step forward for him as a future star. The early exit, in a way, was a fluke. Who blows an engine these days? But he’s a keeper.
1. Martin Truex Jr. 2. Kyle Busch 3. Brad Keselowski 4. Kevin Harvick 4. Jimmie Johnson 6. Denny Hamlin 7. Ryan Blaney 8. Chase Elliott 9. Kyle Larson 10. Matt Kenseth 11. Jamie McMurray 12. Kasey Kahne

1. Motor blues
2. For every action
3. 1.5 X 6
There was only one playoff surprise out of Kansas: Kyle Larson’s failure to advance. He went in third in points and came out the big loser. It wasn’t his fault. The engine inside his No. 42 Chevy tore itself apart. “It sucks to have the engine failure,” Larson shrugged.
When Larson blew up and went away on Lap 77, it created a space for one driver outside the top-eight in points. Kyle Busch nabbed it. “All in all, we’ll take what was given to us, and we’ll live to see another day and fight again next week going to Martinsville,” said Busch, who was 10th Sunday.
Martin Truex Jr. won his seventh race of the season, but the sixth on a track measuring 1.5 miles. It was a bittersweet victory with the weekend loss of one of his crew, Jim Watson, to a heart attack. “He was a heck of a guy, a great worker and put a lot of speed in these Toyotas,” Truex said.
— Godwin Kelly, godwin.kelly@news-jrnl.com
GODWIN’S PICKS FOR MARTINSVILLE WINNER: Denny Hamlin REST OF TOP 5: Chase Elliott, Kevin Harvick, Kurt Busch, Martin Truex Jr. FIRST ONE OUT: Paul Menard DARK HORSE: Dale Earnhardt Jr. DON’T BE SURPRISED IF: Hamlin steals this one at his home-state track and brings his career total at Martinsville to six wins.
MOTOR MOUTHS PODCAST NASCAR is moving on to Martinsville, with the playoff ledger a little lighter after this past weekend’s purge. With so much on the line, we’ll talk about the contenders, pretenders and, of course, the Martinsville hot dog. Tune in online at www. news-journalonline.com/ daytonamotormouths
Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers
Is Jimmie just lurking? No, racers don’t lurk if they’re capable of passing everyone and running out front. This is a battle for the No. 48 team and a driver who might be driving harder now than he ever has, even through seven previous championships. If you judge the season as a whole, Jimmie Johnson isn’t championship timber, but these days all you have to do is get to Homestead with a “chip and a chair,” as the poker folks say.]
How about your dream for a winless champ?

C U P S TA N D I N G S
QUESTIONS & AT T I T U D E
THREE THINGS TO WATCH 1. Kenseth rant
Chase Elliott is now the only driver among the final eight in the playoffs without a race victory. Over the next four races, the 21-year-old driver has the chance to make NASCAR history; kind of the reverse of what his father, Bill Elliott, did in 1985 by winning the most races but losing

CLINT BOWYER VS. ERIK JONES: Jones spun and caused a Talladega-style “Big One” on Lap 199 (of 267), which involved 14 cars including the No. 14 Ford of Bowyer, racing at his home track.
W H AT ’ S O N TA P
2. Great eight
3. Chasing greatness
FEUD OF THE WEEK
GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: There were a lot of not-sohappy drivers, but Bowyer seemed the most agitated. “We got caught up in the wreck,” he said. “Certainly not the way you want to finish at home.”
Matt Kenseth missed the playoff cut and had some interesting remarks about NASCAR rules. His team was DQ’d Sunday for having an extra man over the wall while trying to beat the fiveminute limit for fixing a damaged car. “Seems like we got a lot of stuff that kind of gets, you know, changed so often I honestly can’t keep up with it,” he said, adding “you’re not allowed to race anymore. I just don’t get it, to be honest with you.”
The next three races will determine the last four drivers, who will vie for the NASCAR Cup Series championship. There are four former champions still in the mix and, three Toyotas, three Fords and two Chevrolets. Ryan Blaney is the only driver without playoff experience who has made it this far into the postseason. Blaney started last at Kansas and finished third. “Definitely feels good to be moving on,” he said.
Well, it appears we’re down to one possibility — Chase Elliott — since Matt Kenseth and Jamie McMurray were eliminated at Kansas. Chase is our only hope now if we’re going to have a Cup champ hoist that championship trophy when he doesn’t own any race-winning hardware from 2017. It won’t be easy, but three straight top-10s from Chase might get him to Homestead as one of the Final Four, and once there, anything is possible.
Matt Kenseth spent time before the Kansas race with 3-year-old daughter Clara Mae. After the playoff race, he had a few things to say about NASCAR rules these days. [AP/COLIN E. BRALEY] the title to Darrell Waltrip. He’s already thinking beyond Martinsville. “We will go to work and get this side of things ready for Texas,” Chase said.
