Schools practice lockdown drills By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—Students at Southampton Road School yesterday partook in a lockdown drill that was organized by Westfield Police and the Westfield School Departments. The lockdown drill was one of several that are occurring across the city’s schools this week as part of the lockdown procedure known as ALICE. The efforts are being done in order to improve the students’ and faculty safety, preparedness and awareness in the event of an Principal Kathy O’Donnell gives school keys to Officer intruder at a school or other Dan Gustafson during the Southampton Road School incidents.

Huntington Selectmen discuss Gardner State Park, the River Walk and ambulance service By AMY PORTER Correspondent HUNTINGTON -At the Huntington Board of Selectmen’s regular meeting on Wednesday, Derrick Mason of Russell and Jeffrey Penn of Huntington spoke about a Department of Conservation and Recreation field trip on Friday, Nov. 17 with DCR Commissioner Leo Roy to Gardner State Park and several other area parks that were closed last year. Mason said they are looking for options for the DCR to reopen Gardner, which was gated since the spring. “Our argument is that the park along with other state lands should be kept open as part of our economic driver,” Mason said. Penn said the state’s attitude has been a management issue, and that the parks did not pay for themselves. Penn said such issues have been resolved in creative ways in other areas, and they hope to see whether the state will work with them to find a solution. See Huntington, Page 8
Marijuana sub-committee discusses overlay zones and special permits By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent SOUTHWICK – With the state’s Cannabis Control Commission recently starting the process of putting a law together for recreational marijuana, the marijuana sub-committee in Southwick has continued to discuss and review the latest bylaw they have constructed. Doug Moglin, who is on the committee as a liaison for the Select Board, gave an overview to the rest of the committee about overlay zones and special permit use. It’s important to the committee since the town would be able to zone where recreational marijuana facilities or retail stores can be located. An overlay zone is a zoning district that goes over one or more zoning districts that are already established. The overlay zone can

Kindness Rock Garden unveiled at Abner Gibbs By AMY PORTER Correspondent WESTFIELD – Abner Gibbs formally unveiled its Kindness Rock Garden Wednesday afternoon in a short ceremony in front of all the students who contributed and special guest Westfield Public School Superintendent Stefan Czaporowski. Principal Stacy Burgess said that the project was the kickoff for the school’s PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention and Support) program for the year. “We are focusing on being kind. In a world where there’s lots of trouble, simple acts of kindness can go a long way,” Burgess explained. Every student in the school, which has an enrollment of 222, painted a rock and decorated it. Burgess said this has been an ongoing

project since the beginning of the year. The students brought the rocks from home and chose the messages to paint on them, such as
“Be Kind,” “Kindness changes the world,” and “Be kind and follow your dreams.” Shortly after 2 p.m., all the classes came outside and gathered in a circle around the rock garden, which is at the base of the Abner Gibbs School sign, and which will be surrounded by flowers in the spring. “How you treat one another has a big impact on another person’s life,” Principal Burgess said. She told the students that the garden was a symbol of everyone’s promise to be kind to one another. Fourth grader Hailey Texiera then read a poem to the students by Carly Dugmore, which began: “It doesn’t’ matter where you go, or who you meet along the way. Carry kindness in your heart, and practice it each day.” WPS Superintendent Czaporowski was then presented with a kindness rock. He said
he would put it on his desk, and look at it every day. Burgess said the theme will be carried throughout the year, as a part of the daily morning message and weekly school-wide meeting. “We are trying to promote kindness in the student body in words and actions,” she said. They also have a case displaying kindness rocks in the school, and a brightly colored bulletin board which reads, “Throw kindness like confetti.” Stacy Burgess said the project would not have been possible without Volunteers in Public Schools (VIPS) director Tina Macy and her volunteers who provided supplies and help. She also credited her PBIS team: School nurse Debbie Poremby, reading specialist Emily Byrne and counselor Amy Crowley.

6 Czechs fined for sporting Borat mankinis PRAGUE (AP) — Six Czech tourists who dressed up in skimpy swimsuits made famous by Sacha Baron Cohen’s “Borat” have reportedly been detained by authorities in Kazakhstan’s capital Astana. Sporting lime green “mankinis” and black wigs, the men had hoped to take a picture in front of the “I Love Astana” sign. But local police took action, detaining them on Friday and fining them 22,500 tenge ($68) each for committing minor hooliganism, according to the Kazakh news website informburo.kz. The swimsuit became popular after Baron Cohen, playing the fictional Kazakh television presenter Borat, sported it in the 2006 movie “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.” That film offended many Kazakhs by portraying the country as backward and degenerate.

Alleged gangsters plead guilty to gambling, loan-sharking SPRINGFIELD (AP) — Two alleged gangsters have pleaded guilty to running a gambling and loan-sharking ring out of two Massachusetts bars. The Republican reports 66-year-old Rex Cunningham and 60-year-old Brian Hoyle pleaded guilty to illegal gambling, moneylaundering and loan-sharking Wednesday. The state attorney general's office charged the two men in 2016 for running a ring out of New O'Brien's Corner and the Blarney Stone in Springfield. The men were also charged with witness intimidation, but those charges were later dismissed. The attorney general is recommending the men serve a 2.5 year jail sentence with 1.5 years suspended. Both men served more than 10 years in prison for racketeering and conspiracy charges from the 1990s.

SPRINGFIELD (AP) — Authorities in Massachusetts are looking for a trucker they say intentionally dumped 20 to 30 gallons of gasoline in a parking lot. A spokesman for the Springfield Fire Department says the driver apparently pumped gasoline into a diesel truck on Wednesday afternoon. He says when the truck started to run poorly, the driver pulled into a parking lot, bought a siphon kit from a nearby auto parts store, and siphoned the fuel onto the ground. Workers at an area pharmacy called authorities, but the trucker was gone by the time they arrived. The fuel was contained in the parking lot by using about 25 bags of absorbent material that weigh 50 pounds each. The state Department of Environmental Protection also responded.

Bank robber with poor spelling skills pleads guilty BOSTON (AP) — A Massachusetts man authorities dubbed the "spelling bee bandit" because the notes he passed to tellers during multiple bank robberies in the Boston area contained the same spelling error has pleaded guilty. Federal prosecutors say 34-year-old Jason Englen pleaded guilty Wednesday to four counts of bank robbery. Authorities say the Chelsea man entered an Arlington bank on Oct. 31, 2016, approached a teller and handed over a note written on a deposit slip indicating a robbery was in progress, except robbery was spelled with just one "B." Over the next few weeks, he robbed banks in Reading, Burlington and Peabody using notes with the same misspelling. He was arrested last December. He faces up to 20 years in prison at sentencing scheduled for Feb. 28.

Police: Teen found shot near recreational trail dies HAMDEN, Conn. (AP) — Police say a teenager found suffering from multiple gunshots wounds near a recreational trail in Connecticut has died. Eighteen-year-old Leeandre Benton was found bear the Farmington Canal Trail in Hamden at about 4 p.m. Monday. He was taken to Yale-New Haven Hospital in New Haven with life-threatening injuries and police say he died at the hospital on Wednesday.

The trail is part of an 84-mile network of paths for walkers, runners, bikers and in-line skaters that extends into Massachusetts.
Drug firm founder indicted in opioid conspiracy due in court BOSTON (AP) — The founder of a pharmaceutical company charged with leading a conspiracy to bribe doctors to prescribe a powerful opioid pain medication for people who didn't need it is due in court in Massachusetts. John Kapoor of Insys Therapeutics Inc. was arrested in Arizona last month and is expected to make his first appearance in Boston's federal courthouse on Thursday. Kapoor and other Insys executives are accused of offering kickbacks to doctors to write large numbers of prescriptions for a fentanyl-based pain medication that's meant for cancer patients. Most people who received prescriptions did not have cancer. Prosecutors say they also mislead insurance providers to get them to approve payment for the drug for non-cancer patients. Kapoor's attorney has said his client is not guilty.
Feds seek comment on southern New England lobstering changes NEW BEDFORD, Massachusetts (AP) — Federal fishing regulators are soliciting public comments about possible changes to lobster fishing in southern New England. The National Marine Fisheries Service is seeking the feedback about changes that could include restricting the number of lobster traps or permits an individual or a business would be allowed to own. The agency says it’s considering changes to the lobster fishery because of the “continued poor condition of the southern New England lobster stock.” It says not enough young lobsters are being born in the area because of environmental factors and fishing. Lobster populations have plunged off of Rhode Island, Connecticut and southern Massachusetts. Most U.S. lobster comes to shore in Maine, where catches have set record highs in recent years. The agency is taking comments through Dec. 15.

Does anyone else find it absurd that Southwick is seeking a tobacco grant from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to promote community health and tobacco prevention to municipalities throughout the commonwealth when it receives property tax dollars from tobacco growers located in the town? Certainly municipalities should reduce the prevalence of tobacco use, work to prevent use of tobacco products by teens, and reduce exposure to secondhand smoke- but you send a confusing message to young impressionable minds when a source of summer employment and a source of your town tax dollars comes from tobacco farms located in Southwick. Now that I’ve had some time to digest the Westfield election results I have to ask the question: In a city of 25,000+ voters, more than half of which are women, why do we have a city council dominated by men? Are women too smart to seek this public office? Also, I am absolutely ashamed by the personal attacks some of this year’s candidates perpetuated and when I look back at the biggest offenders I notice they are not Westfield natives. They are people who moved here and have chosen to seek elected office, which is admirable, but keep your personal attacks out of local politics. Westfield overwhelmingly supported Trump last year and I see those campaign tactics used on the national level are now happening here against our neighbors. Sad. Oh, and lastly, two really uninformed candidates got elected. I’m sure they’ll learn quickly that their ideas won’t hold water.
Washington Post didn’t pay Roy Moore accusers WASHINGTON (AP) — The Washington Post didn't offer money to women in exchange for their stories accusing Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore of sexually inappropriate behavior, despite a series of widely-shared articles on social media and a voicemail from an apparent impostor offering to pay for damaging information on Moore. Several false stories about the Post and Moore's accusers began circulating online soon after the newspaper detailed the accusations against Moore. Articles based off posts from a Twitter user named Doug Lewis claim "a family friend" of his said she was offered $1,000 by a Post reporter identified only as "Beth" to accuse Moore of wrongdoing. The articles also say the conversation between the reporter and the woman was recorded, but no recording is included with the article. The Twitter account in question no longer exists. On Tuesday, TV station WKRG interviewed Alabama pastor Al Moore who said he received a voicemail from an unknown number from someone identifying themselves as a Post reporter named Bernie Bernstein. The caller said on the message that was played for the station that he was in search of "a female between the ages of 54 to 57 years old" and "willing to make damaging remarks about candidate Roy Moore for a reward of between $5,000 and $7,000." The caller gave an email address but a message sent to there by The Associated Press Wednesday bounced back. The pastor said he is not related to the candidate. A spokesman for the campaign told WKRG that the candidate hadn't heard about the call. The newspaper's executive editor, Marty Baron, said in a statement that the call's description of the Post's reporting methods "bears no relationship to reality."
GOP senators from NC come out against Trump EPA nominee WASHINGTON (AP) — North Carolina's two Republican senators say they oppose President Donald Trump's pick to oversee chemical safety at the Environmental Protection Agency, putting his nomination at serious risk. Senators Richard Burr and Thom Tillis issued statements Wednesday saying they will vote against Michael Dourson to serve as head of EPA's Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention. No Democrats have said they support Dourson, meaning only one more Republican vote against Dourson would potentially be needed to torpedo his nomination. The Associated Press reported in September that Dourson has accepted payments from chemical manufacturers in exchange for academic papers affirming the safety of his clients' products. The North Carolina senators cited past drinking water problems at a Marine Corps base and contamination in the Cape Fear River in opposing Dourson.

By JOSH LEDERMAN Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States government wants you to know: It really, truly doesn't like Nazis. At the United Nations this week, the U.S. plans to vote against a yearly resolution that condemns the glorification of Nazism, State Department officials said Wednesday. Although it may seem counterintuitive — who wouldn't want to condemn Nazis? — officials said free speech protections and other problems with the resolution make it impossible for America to support. Introduced by Russia, the resolution calls on all U.N. nations to ban pro-Nazi speech and organizations, and to implement other restrictions on speech and assembly. That's a non-starter in the U.S., where First Amendment protections guarantee all the right to utter almost anything they want — even praise for Adolf Hitler's followers. The United States votes against the resolution every year, along with just a handful of others, while the European Union nations and some others typically abstain. The resolution always passes overwhelmingly, usually with little fanfare. But this year, the "no" vote from the U.S. is likely to create more of a stir, given it's the first rendition of the vote since President Donald Trump entered office. Trump adamantly denies any secret affinity for white supremacists. Yet his blame-on-bothsides response to violence in August at a white nationalist protest in Charlottesville, Virginia, gave fodder to Trump critics who say he's insufficiently critical of neo-Nazis. So U.S. officials are working overtime this year to try to explain that no, America doesn't support pro-Nazi speech — but can't vote for a resolution that calls for outlawing it, either. The vote is scheduled for Thursday in the U.N. General Assembly's human rights committee. All resolutions in the General Assembly committees are nonbinding and don't impose any legal requirements on member nations. But American support for resolutions that contradict domestic law could end up being used as arguments in U.S. federal court, and officials worry about undermining national law enforcement efforts. A similar drama bedeviled the Trump administration last month when the U.S. voted against a resolution at the U.N. Human Rights Council condemning the use of the death penalty to punish homosexuality — another apparent no-brainer. The U.S. couldn't vote for that because of the resolution's broader condemnation of the death penalty, even though the U.S. adamantly opposes capital punishment for homosexuality, blasphemy, adultery and apostasy, State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said at
In this June 1, 2016, file photo, flags of some of the 193 countries fly in the breeze in front of the Secretariat building of the United Nations. State Department officials say the U.S. this week plans to vote against a yearly U.N. resolution that condemns the glorification of Nazism. That's because, as in past years, free speech protections and other problems make the resolution impossible for America to support. But officials don't want their opposition interpreted as tacit support for Nazism in this first rendition of the annual vote since President Donald Trump entered office. (AP Photo/Richard Drew, File)
the time. "The United States clearly has the death penalty, both at the state and at the federal level," Nauert said. "That is why we voted against this." With the anti-Nazi resolution, there are other problems, too. The U.S. has long expressed concerns that Russia uses the annual resolution to mount political attacks against its neighbors. That's because Moscow has for decades sought to portray the Baltic states and others that sought independence from Soviet domination as either pro-fascist or pro-Nazi, U.S. officials said. The United States has been considering a last-minute push in the General Assembly to amend the resolution to
remove what it considers the problematic parts, in what officials said would amount to a wholesale overhaul. But officials said no final decision had been reached. Even if the U.S. does try to change the resolution so that it could vote for it, the effort is unlikely to succeed. Will Israel, the close U.S. ally whose history is intertwined with the Holocaust, vote with the U.S.? In the past, Israel has voted for the resolution. But Washington has been pushing the Jewish state to vote "no" this year, or at a minimum to abstain. It's unclear how Israel will vote. A spokesman for Israel's mission to the U.N. didn't respond to a request for comment.

give additional standards yet also make them stricter. Most notable, overlay zones are used to protect features like historic buildings, wetlands, and waterfronts. According to Moglin, there are a couple of overlay zones in Southwick. Besides the overlay zone, a special permit is also something that the marijuana sub–committee can implement into their bylaw. Issued by the Planning Board, a special permit towards recreational marijuana would require a super majority vote at a town meeting. Moglin believes that allowing someone to acquire a special permit has been a good thing for the town in the past. “I think overall it’s been a benefit to the town. “Zoning by right would change what the Cannabis Control Commission would allow or not allow.” Moglin also discussed that each restricted zone would have an allowed use by right, including business restricted and industrial restricted zones.

“One time the codeword was not used so a teacher stayed hunkered down for an extra 30 minutes,” she said. Once the announcement came, some classes that were not in the immediate area of where the intruder was said to have come in decided to flee, heading to either nearby North Middle School or Westfield Bank. Other classes had stayed, choosing to lock doors and barricade them with items such as desks. Then, students may also huddle into corners or elsewhere. Then, as doors were barricaded and classes fled, four Westfield police officers walked through the halls of the building, checking doors and classrooms. The officers would knock on the doors, announce themselves and unlock the doors, making sure that the locations are safe. According to O’Donnell, the teachers would not unblock or unlock doors in a real incident unless there was identification shown, such as by sliding it under the door of a classroom. Once the area was secured, the students and faculty were allowed back inside. Rogers said that in the case of a lockdown, police are the only ones that can release it. According to Rogers, the ALICE method has been in place with the schools since the 2014-2015 school year and has included working more with the police department. “This is a relationship since 2014-2015, we got our heads together working with the police department on ALICE,” Rogers said. “They’ve been fantastic partners in this.”
Huntington Penn also spoke about the River Walk behind the Town Hall which received a grant of $4,500 from Healthy Hampshire this year. He said due to other projects, the River Walk had not progressed. He said that he would like to put a Protecta mesh on the short trail behind the Town Hall. He said the mesh, which would cost $1,400 lays down on the grass and can be mowed, and creates a hard surface that a wheelchair can ride on. Penn said with the remaining funds he would like to build a kiosk on the walkway, but the quote from the company that built other area kiosks was too high at $4,800. He said he planned to speak to some carpenters, to see if he could bring the cost down to $3,000, keeping the same design. Renauld suggested speaking to someone in town. After some discussion, Penn said he would speak to Gateway Regional, Westfield Tech and Smith Vocational. He said he also plans to speak to the Westfield Invasive Species Project about the poison ivy along that section of the river. The board then voted in favor of his plans for the River Walk. Bill Millin, the new Huntington representative on the board of the Hilltown Community Ambulance Association (HCAA) came to bring the selectmen “up to speed,” and to discuss several issues between the town and HCAA. Millin gave the board a breakdown of last year’s profits and losses, and said the ambulance service is not yet at the profitability level to require an audit, which he was told had been requested by Huntington even though it was not required. “We never required it. I don’t know where that came from,” Renauld said. He said they

McVeigh said they had sent the contract they had been given last year to their attorney, who said it “wasn’t a contract.” Renauld said the previous Board voted not to sign it. “I’m a firm believer, if I’m going to send something to our attorney, I’m going to take his advice,” he said. Millin gave them a new contract with suggested changes. He also said that HCAA recently added a bylaw stating that if a town doesn’t sign a contract, it won’t have a vote on the board Renauld said as long as the contract meets the recommended language of the attorney they would consider signing it. He said the talk of going out for a new ambulance service is “dead in the water,” because the other towns
backed out. He also said that as a board, they never had a problem with patient care; it was always with the book work. “Right now, we’re getting the same service as Highland (Ambulance Service), and we’re paying half the price for the same coverage,” Millin said, adding that Highland is the most comparable ambulance service to HCAA in the area. He said one of the differences is that Highland has gotten a few bigger grants, which has allowed them to progress ahead of HCAA. “In my opinion, for what you’re getting, you’re getting a bargain,” said Millin, who is himself an EMT and paramedic. Renauld admitted there had been some bad blood between the service and the town, but that what they went through the last few years has brought the ambulance service forward. He said just having a report and a contract all came about due to the struggles they had with the service. “I think it’s come a long way,” Renauld said. Members of the Board of Health also came before the selectmen to discuss the potential removal of the metal bin collection which benefits the Huntington Fire Department, and which was questioned by a recent Department of Public Health inspection of the transfer station. Chair Edward Renauld said the bin is more in the Highway Department area, which shares its space with the transfer station. “The Fire Department has gotten a lot of dollars from it. I would argue that it’s not part of the recycling center; it’s part of the Highway Department,” Renauld said. Selectman Karon Hathaway suggested putting a sign on it that reads for the Fire Department.

McCarthy, Owls prevail WESTFIELD – Westfield State University junior guard Kierra McCarthy (Ludlow, Mass.) scored a career-high 25 points to lead the Owls to a 89-56 win over Keene State in the women’s basketball season opener at the Woodward Center on Wednesday night. McCarthy finished up 10-12 from the floor, 3-4 from three point range and 2-2 at the foul line. Westfield State forced 44 Keene State turnovers to fuel the win. Westfield State (1-0) held a 20-18 lead at the end of the first quarter, and extended its margin to 44-33 by the half. Westfield’s Lucy Barrett scored 10 of her 16 points in the first half for Westfield. Westfield broke the game wide open in the third quarter, forcing 20 turnovers in the quarter, at one point forcing turnovers on eight of nine consecutive Keene possessions. The Owls outscored Keene 30-8 in the period. Westfield finished 13-41 on three-point tries in the game and scored
34 points off of turnovers. The Owls got 10 points and six steals from junior guard Ali Hester (Sutton, Mass.), and five points and 11 rebounds from senior forward Keri Paton (Westfield/Russell, Mass.). Keene State (0-1) was led by 13 points from Emily McPadden, 12 from Lily Shlimon, and 10 from Sandi Purcell. Shlimon added a game-high 14 rebounds. Westfield picked up where it left of last season, after leading the nation in turnovers forced in 2016, and nearly matched the scoring output of a year ago when the Owls finished second in the country at 88.8 points per game. Westfield will travel to the Eastern Connecticut State Tournament this Saturday and Sunday. Westfield will face SUNY-New Paltz, which advanced to the NCAA Division III Elite 8 in 2017.

Men’s Basketball Picked Fourth in MASCAC Poll WESTFIELD — Westfield State University’s men’s basketball team has been picked to finish fourth in the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference in the 2017-18 preseason coaches’ poll. Salem State was ranked first in the poll, followed by Bridgewater, Fitchburg and the Owls. Worcester, Framingham and MCLA rounded out the forecast order of finish. The Vikings received six of seven first place votes and 36 total points in the poll. Westfield State finished with 19 points. Westfield State head coach Rich Sutter enters his 20th year at the helm of the Owls program. His team will be led by juniors Peter Mafo and Marcus Collins. Mafo is the Owls’ top returning scorer, netting 11.1 points and more than three assists per game last season. Collins had a strong debut with the Owls after walking on after being recruited as a football quarterback, and netted 6.6 points and grabbed 6.8 rebounds in 22 games last season. Westfield finished 10-15 overall and 6-6 in the MASCAC last season. The Owls open the 2017-18 season on the road at Lesley College on Wednesday evening, before returning home to host the Rick Martin – Holiday Inn Express Tournament at the Woodward Center. Marcus Collins drives the lane. (file photo)

Billy Cordes, of Westfield, recently competed in the 53rd Head of the Charles Regatta with The College of the Holy Cross varsity rowing team. This year there were 2,271 entries gathering in Boston from all over the globe. The Head of the Charles attracts up to 400,000 attendees and is hailed as the largest regatta in the world. While admitted to Holy Cross for his academic credentials, Cordes made the team as a walk-on this year. “Joining a Division I sport, I knew there would be a very high expectation level and it has been exhilarating to be back on a team,” Cordes said. “The weather in the fall makes for a beautiful morning practice as we head to the lake at 6 a.m. to get on the water while there is no wind. As the season progresses, we will still practice six days a week, however, we will move inside to the ergonometer room since the mornings will get too cold. Holy Cross’ fantastic coaches make every day worth its while.” Holy Cross is a founding member of the NCAA Division I Patriot League. The Patriot League is known for placing as much emphasis on academic and leadership success as athletic achievement, and has been recognized as a refreshing approach to collegiate varsity sports. Holy Cross is renowned for its consistently high graduation rates of its student-athletes — among the best in the nation. A graduate of Suffield Academy in 2016, Cordes was part of the school’s inaugural crew team his junior year. He credits Suffield for developing the program and his coaches, Tom Salamone and Evan Ciecimirski for teaching him the sport. “Suffield constructed a workout facility to give students the ability to widen their band of interests and allowed for a diverse coed team to be born,” Cordes said. “The rowing tanks and erg machines drastically helped with translation of practice to the water. The practices at Suffield taught me the important lesson of persistence.” Currently in his sophomore year at Holy Cross, Cordes is an Economics major and is also in the Pre-Dental Program. While in high school, Cordes was a frequent contributing writer for “The Westfield News Student Think Tank.”

Raiders’ struggling pass defense prepares for Tom Brady By JOSH DUBOW AP Pro Football Writer ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — Playing against the Oakland Raiders defense has made some run-of-the-mill quarterbacks look like Tom Brady this season. Now a defense on pace for one of the worst seasons in NFL history when it comes to pass defense gets to face Brady himself when the Raiders (4-5) take on the New England Patriots (7-2) on Sunday in Mexico City. "We can play with anybody in the league, but we got to play better or you're going to have a rough day against a guy like Tom Brady," coach Jack Del Rio said Wednesday. "So, that's the challenge. We've got to do enough as a football team to win this game." From Jay Cutler to Kirk Cousins, from Alex Smith to Tyrod Taylor, all but one quarterback who has faced the Raiders this season has fared better against Oakland than the average for the rest of the season. It has added up to the Raiders becoming the first team in NFL history to fail to record a single interception the first nine games of the year. It's been more than just a lack of takeaways. Oakland has been giving up way too much as well. The Raiders are allowing opponents to complete 71.2 percent of their passes for a 110.5 passer rating, both of which would be the third worst performances ever over a full season. Those numbers even top what Brady has done this season as the league's top quarterback. Brady leads the league with 2,807 yards passing, and ranks second in passer rating (108.3), interception rate (two in 343 attempts), while completing 67.3 percent of his passes. "Brady is Brady," safety Reggie Nelson said. "That's what he's been doing all along. It's amazing he's been doing it at such a high level. It's just greatness. ... He's the best. He's the best at what he does." The Raiders have been among the worst this season as they have somehow regressed from a year ago when they allowed a league-
worst 61 pass plays of at least 20 yards. Oakland hoped the addition of first-round pick Gareon Conley would provide a boost but the cornerback played only two games because of an injured shin and was placed on injured reserve this week. Second-round safety Obi Melifonwu, who was expected to match up with tight ends, made his debut at Miami after being sidelined by a leg injury. He played only seven snaps on defense that game and now must deal with New England's Rob Gronkowski. The Raiders also could be without starting cornerback David Amerson once again. Amerson has missed the past two games with a foot injury and did not practice Wednesday. The Patriots are also much more adept at going deep this season with the addition of Brandin Cooks as Brady is on pace to gain more yards on long passes this year than he has any other year than the 16-0 2007 regular season. But the Raiders say they can't be intimidated by the tough task. "We all put our shoes on the same way," cornerback TJ Carrie said. "If you put someone on a bigger pedestal than what it may seem, than you're already losing that battle. Of course we respect the Patriots, but they suit up like we suit up." The Raiders have put themselves in a big hole heading into the stretch run thanks to a four-game losing streak earlier in the season. Oakland can probably only afford one or two more losses in the final seven games. It's a difficult stretch with matchups against three first-place teams (New England, Kansas City and Philadelphia), division rivals Denver and the Chargers, as well as home games against Dallas and the New York Giants. "We know what position we're in," Nelson said. "We just have to come out and do our job and not try to do too much. Just do the little things right and everything else will take care of itself. We're well aware of what's going on. The playoffs have started for us."

"And we'll see roles. what the future holds." Toss in veteran Al Horford's consistent play and the recent return of offseason pickup Marcus Morris, and suddenly the preseason buzz that surrounded this team has returned. Still, Horford laughed Wednesday at the notion that Thursday's game could be an NBA Finals preview. "I'm sure that people are going to float that around," Horford said. "But we understand we have a long ways to go. And it still is only November." Coach Brad Stevens said his biggest concern is making sure his team zeroed in on where it could improve during Wednesday's video study and walkthrough session. "Otherwise, we'll really get exposed," Stevens said. "There's a reason why they haven't played a lot of close games. And it's because they're awfully freaking good." Boston and Golden State split their two meetings last season, but Golden State was only at full strength for one of those games. The Warriors blew out the Celtics 104-88 last November in Boston, getting a combined 67 points from Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry. The Celtics beat the Warriors on the road in March when Durant was out with a knee injury. The Warriors come in riding a seven-game win streak of their own.

Dear Annie By ANNIE LANE
No Consequences for Bad Behavior Dear Annie: I am inclined to ask for an outside opinion after spending time with my grandkids at their home last night and witnessing a lot of violent behavior with which they got away. It was an emotional roller coaster. I saw the eldest sibling behaving roughly with his younger siblings. The parents threatened to take away a favorite toy as punishment but then never followed through, nor did they use timeout, which I still think is smart for calming down. As a grandparent, I was glad to see the sisters, ages 3 and 4, learning to fight back against their elder brother, who is 7, when he was rough with them. But he’s still stronger, and there was still a lot of crying. Meanwhile, the 1-year-old boy is watching it all. My daughter-in-law is a stay-at-home mom. My son participates with the discipline, but he mostly yells at them. The kids laugh it off, and the eldest boy even hits the parents or pounces on them when he feels like it. And again, nothing is done to punish him. The kids are simply told to hug and say they’re sorry. This has been going on for at least three years. When I spend time with the kids individually, they are sweet and very smart. I’m sure they like the calm visit with me. What will happen with them in the future? -- Worried Grandma Dear Worried Grandma: You are correct to be concerned. Empty threats help no one. They instill temporary fear in children that they will get something taken away, and when there is no follow-through on the threats, it teaches the children that your word is not worth paying attention to. In the end, they will continue not to listen to or respect your son and daughter-inlaw. They need firm guidelines about not hitting, strict enforcement and lots of love. Dear Annie: I am a veterinarian, and I have read your column since its inception. I usually agree with your advice. However, I must object to the advice you gave to the owners of the cat who got a Great Pyrenees. They believe that the dog is demanding an inordinate amount of their attention, possibly out of jealousy. Though your reply was well-intended, your recommendations may not have been helpful and could even be dangerous. Dogs and cats have their own methods of communication, with facial expressions and body language that most people aren’t trained or attuned enough to understand. They have evolved to respond to these cues in certain ways. Trying to project human emotions, motivations or patterns of behavior onto dogs or cats is largely unsuccessful and can sometimes create even more unwanted behavior. This couple would benefit from having a professional dog trainer come to their house, observe the social hierarchy that exists and counsel them on the best way to safely modify this dog’s behavior. Thank you for your ongoing efforts to help people with their issues. I hope this information is beneficial. -- Michigan Veterinarian Dear Michigan Veterinarian: Thank you for your expertise. You make a great point about the potential pitfalls of projecting human emotion onto animal behavior. I’ve forwarded your letter to the owner of the Great Pyrenees, and I’m printing it here for the benefit of all readers trying to keep the peace among animals in their homes.
HINTS FROM HELOISE A SMELL BY ANY OTHER NAME ... Dear Readers: You might think the terms “UNSCENTED” and “FRAGRANCEFREE” mean the same thing. NOT! “Fragrance-free” usually means no extra fragrance has been mixed in, but the cosmetic, drug or household item may have an existing aroma or smell from other ingredients in the product. “Unscented” is a different scenario. It can almost be stated as “de-scented.” Unscented products typically are treated with chemicals to remove, mask or cover up scents in products. The chemicals used to “unscent” an item may be irritating to people with fragrance sensitivities, but they’re not ordinarily considered harmful or dangerous. Ask your medical professional for advice when dealing with fragrance allergies and sensitivities. -- Heloise NATURE BREAK Dear Heloise: With the way the world is today, I need to “unplug” and take time away from the news and all these electronic devices. I try to spend at least 30 minutes to an hour a day outside, just listening and observing nature. -- Julie W., Fort Wayne, Ind. I’m with you! Even five or 10 minutes is beneficial. -- Heloise CLUTTER BUSTER Dear Heloise: When I was helping my auntie move to assisted living, one task I did was shoot a nice set of photos of her apartment, with close-ups of her beloved things. I included one of her, smiling, in her favorite chair. I made a little book of those snapshots; she loved having it handy. Now that she is gone, I have a small memento of her in her natural surroundings with her beloved things. And I was better able to let go of those items and not have them come to clutter my house! -- A.C.T., Punta Gorda, Fla.

‘Titanic’ sailing back into theaters for one week LOS ANGELES (AP) — Twenty years after Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet fell in love on that doomed ship, “Titanic” is sailing back into theaters for one week. Dolby Laboratories, Paramount Pictures and AMC Theaters said Wednesday that a re-mastered version of the James Cameron film will be shown at select AMC locations nationwide starting Dec. 1. Cameron says it is the bestlooking version of “Titanic” ever released.

Congress urged to tighten rules on Chinese state media in US By MATTHEW PENNINGTON Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — All staff of Chinese state-run media outlets in the United States should be required to register with the government as foreign agents as they may be supporting Chinese intelligence gathering and “information warfare,” congressional advisers said Wednesday. The U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission said that Beijing has rapidly expanded its overseas media presence to promote a positive view of the rising Asian nation and the ruling communist party, even as it has tightened its control over media and online content at home, and increased restrictions on foreign journalists in China. The bipartisan commission recommends that Congress strengthen the Foreign Agents Registration Act, or FARA, which requires registration by people or companies disseminating information in the U.S. on behalf of foreign governments, political parties and other “foreign principals.” The law is applied to foreign lobbying efforts, but the Justice Department has also required registration by media outlets funded by foreign governments. While some state-run Chinese media outlets do register, the commission says the law is applied unevenly. It calls for all staff of state-run outlets to be registered as they are not part of an open press. “They should all have to register under FARA,” said Larry Wortzel, who sits on the 12-member commission. “Since 1978, the U.S. cannot use the press for intelligence collection or perception management by law, and that’s not the case with China.” The commission is mandated to provide recommendations to Congress for legislative and administrative action but its proposals don’t carry legal weight. Its members are selected by leaders of both parties in the House and Senate. They include former U.S. lawmakers, and former U.S. government, military and intelligence officials. The Chinese Embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the commission’s annual report. It was released as President Donald Trump returned from a five-nation trip to Asia, including a state visit to China, where he criticized the government over trade but praised its leader, Xi Jinping. The Russian state-funded TV channel RT registered under FARA this week after pressure from the U.S. government. The U.S. intelligence agencies have alleged RT served as a propaganda outlet for the Kremlin as part of its multipronged effort to interfere in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Russia denies interfering. Russia’s lower house of parliament retaliated to the U.S. action Wednesday, unanimously approving a bill allowing the government to register international media outlets as foreign agents. Chinese state-run media outlets have expanded their overseas operations in recent years. The Xinhua news agency reported in 2015 it had 180 foreign bureaus. The commission contended that Xinhua gathers information and produces classified reports for the Chinese leadership on both domestic and international events.
According to the FARA website, Chinese media currently registered include the distribution companies of China Daily, People’s Daily Overseas Edition and Xin Min Evening News. State Department data show that in 2016, some 836 nonimmigrant visas for foreign media were issued to nationals of China — outnumbered only by Britain, Japan and Germany. That includes both Chinese media based in the U.S. and those who made short-term visits. The commission says Chinese-state run media and private networks friendly to Beijing have a virtual monopoly in Chinese-language U.S. cable television, “distorting the information available to the Chinese-speaking community in the United States.” It also voiced concern that Chinese communist party-linked corporations involved in the U.S. media industry risk undermining the independence of American film studios by forcing them to self-censor to access the Chinese market.

Take your time choosing a potential suitor. If you are attached, a tendency to go overboard while enjoying life could create some tension between you and your sweetie. A little selfdiscipline will go a long way in helping your relationship. A fellow SCORPIO connects with you deeply.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH Deal with joint finances. Others seem to acknowledge your know-how and general wisdom. Getting a “yes” response is much easier right now. Acting with the support of friends and loved ones makes you feel secure in your choices. Tonight: Let the other party choose! TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Knowing when to defer to others has become an art for you. You understand that allowing someone else to act as he or she wants to will bring positive results. As you give others a nod, they feel empowered. Watch what happens. Tonight: Go along with a friend’s suggestion. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Know what you must do as opposed to what you would like to do. A fun call or invitation could be quite distracting. Try to postpone this interaction until later, when you can enjoy what is happening. Good luck follows you. Remain patient. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Once more, your imagination proves to be an unusual source of resilience and adaptability. Though you are unlikely to encounter any obstacles, you still will be pondering how to make a dream a reality. Don’t allow anyone to interfere. Tonight: Go with the flow. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You could be more concerned about a personal problem than you are letting on. However, those who know you might be seeing some cracks in your facade. As a result, they might start to express concern. What you choose to share is up to you. Tonight: Make your weekend plans. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH You’ll enjoy the company of a contemporary. This person’s spontaneous style might be contagious. Your critical ways could start falling to the wayside. People will appreciate this change in you, and you’ll want to be more upbeat moving forward. Tonight: Say “yes.” LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH As opportunities present themselves, regardless of whether they involve finances and/or romance, you won’t be able to say “no.” Enjoy a little fun and overindulgence. Others will wish to be as carefree as you are. Tonight: Use good sense when making an important decision. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH The Moon in your sign puts you in the spotlight through Saturday. Your magnetism and charisma start to peak. Note how compliant those around you are becoming. If you have a problem that needs to be handled, the time is now. Take a risk. Tonight: Be with the one you love. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You might have a secret or some kind of exciting possibility that is brewing. Until this situation manifests, you should remain quiet about it. However, your mind is working overtime. Try to pay more attention to the here and now, for your own sake. Tonight: In your thoughts. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH You smile as your day ends, and you might think that more days should fall into place like parts of today did. You might be blurring the line between your professional and personal lives. Think carefully, and keep the ramifications in mind. Tonight: Accept a friend’s suggestion. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Pressure seems to build to the extent that the issue at hand becomes your main focus. Recognize that what is happening seems to be for the better. Be aware that you are accepting more responsibility as you take charge. Tonight: Others observe what is happening with you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Your mind keeps drifting to other people and situations. To stay present in the moment will take self-discipline. In pondering your options, your imagination opens up. Start jotting down ideas; some gems of wisdom might be forthcoming. Tonight: Listen to some great music. BORN TODAY Composer W.C. Handy (1873), actor Burgess Meredith (1907), tennis player Zina Garrison (1963)

Ritchie, Manson lead Ducks past slumping Bruins, 4-2 By GREG BEACHAM AP Sports Writer ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Nick Ritchie and Josh Manson had a goal and an assist apiece, and Kevin Roy scored his first NHL goal in the Anaheim Ducks’ 4-2 victory over the slumping Boston Bruins on Wednesday night. John Gibson made 39 saves and Antoine Vermette had an assist in his 1,000th NHL appearance as the Ducks won for just the second time in seven games. Derek Grant also scored in Anaheim’s eighth consecutive win over the Bruins. Danton Heinen and Noel Acciari scored and Tuukka Rask stopped 23 shots for the Bruins, who opened their California road swing with their fourth consecutive loss. Roy played four seasons of college hockey in Boston at Northeastern before turning pro last year. He opened the scoring with his first goal in his third NHL game, swatting in a loose puck from the slot. Anaheim had only three shots on goal in the second period, but scored twice while taking control of just its fifth win in 12 home games. After Heinen tied it midway through the second with a nifty backhand for his third career goal, Manson — another former Northeastern player — alertly flung the puck toward Boston’s crease while skating into the corner late in the period. The puck ricocheted off Zdeno Chara’s skate for Manson’s first goal since March 26. Ritchie then scored his first goal since Oct. 24, tipping home a pass from Vermette shortly before intermission. The power forward had his first multi-point performance since March 28. Grant got credit for a third-period goal when Corey Perry’s shot glanced off his body. Acciari scored for Boston with 22 seconds to play. Both teams’ slow starts have been caused by several significant injuries this season, and more stars were absent than present at Honda Center. The Bruins played without key forwards Brad Marchand and Anders Bjork, who both stayed home in Boston with undisclosed injuries. They’ve been ruled out for Thursday’s game in Los Angeles as well. David Krejci missed his 11th straight game for Boston, but could be close to returning soon. David Backes, Ryan Spooner and Adam McQuaid also are out with long-term SALES PROFESSIONALS injuries. The Ducks scratched defenseman Hampus Lindholm with a lower-body injury. Anaheim is still without several key players due to injuries, including captain Ryan Getzlaf, center Ryan Kesler, defenseman Cam Fowler, goalscoring forward Patrick Eaves and goalie Ryan Miller.
