New stone for veterans to be unveiled on Veterans Day

By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent SOUTHWICK – There will be a new stone added for the town’s veterans to be located on the green of the Southwick Congregational Church on College Highway.

As there is already a plaque of veterans who have lived or do live in Southwick that fought in wars including the Korean War and Vietnam War, the newest stone will include veterans of the Iraq, Gulf, and Afghan wars.

A member of the Rotary Club and the Select Board Clerk, Joe Deedy, is heading this project.

According to Deedy, the stone will be 4′ by 3′ in size. As this project has been talked about for the last couple of years, $10,000 has been raised in total.

Half of the money raised has come from the Rotary Club of Southwick, and half of the money has been generated from the Lions Club.

“We felt it would be a great joint venture, and it has been,” said Deedy.

Deedy also pointed out that a sidewalk has been built for easier accessibility when people are approaching the stones.

Abductor of Marshall confesses, takes him for a good cause

By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent SOUTHWICK – There has been an update on Marshall, the Southwick Fire Department mascot who was found safe on Tuesday.

Det. Robert Landis reported that he and his officers made progress with a supposed suspect that may have taken Marshall for ransom.

“We identified a person of interest,” said Landis.

That person of interest came forward on Wednesday afternoon and has confessed to taking Marshall, and that person is Southwick Police Lt. Kevin Bishop.

Bishop first saw the opportunity to take the inflatable dog away from the fire department to continue a friendly rivalry between police and fire that is known across the country.

As Lt. Bishop took the dog less than two weeks ago on a rainy Friday night, Lt. Bishop realized that the Southwick Fire Department may have cameras that he was unaware of that may lead to blowing his cover.

Immediately, Lt. Bishop informed fire Chief Russ Anderson what he did.

“From there, we just thought we would turn it into something good,” said Bishop.

As it was reported by the Westfield News on Oct. 11 that “After the suspect ensured Anderson that Marshall is indeed safe, he demanded that there is a ransom of $500,” Lt. Bishop knew exactly what he wanted to make out of the situation.

In his emails to Chief Anderson, he made sure that the ransom for Marshall would include the money being raised to go towards the Our Community Food Pantry in Southwick.

Lt. Bishop hoped that his efforts would help the community come together and raise money for a good cause that goes right back to their local food pantry.

Reported by the Westfield News on Oct. 18, local businesses, the Southwick Fire and Police Associations, private donations, and Brownie troop 12664 all combined together for just over $800 to go back to the Our Community See Good Cause, Page 8

The Westfield branch of the Salvation Army will be ringing bells soon. Working behind the scenes this holiday season are Mary Lou Dazelle, Anita Barnes, Emily Mew, Rob Matthews and Laurie Matthews.

Salvation Army office growing; ‘Hundreds’ of Bell Ringers needed

By LORI SZEPELAK Correspondent WESTFIELD-With the “red kettle” season only weeks away for the Salvation Army, “hundreds” of volunteers are being sought to ensure that key locations across the city will be covered during the holiday season.

Stop & Shop is one of the key locations designated by the Salvation Army for its annual campaign, along with Walmart, BonTon and the Dunkin Donuts on Main Street and at the Little River Plaza. On Wednesday afternoon while setting up for a photograph for this story, city residents were already dropping money in the kettle.

“People in Westfield are so generous in giving their time and money,” said Emily Mew, field representative, Salvation Army. “We rely on the community’s support during our holiday drives so we can continue to provide needed services.”

Mew said the fundraising goal has been set for $25,000 for the drive which starts the week of Thanksgiving and ends around 5 p.m. on Christmas Eve. Salvation Army bell ringers will also be stationed outside BonTon during part of its Community Days promotion

Nov. 10-11. Mary Lou Dazelle is serving as kettle coordinator.

Area residents interested in signing up for either a two-hour or four-hour block of time (between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m., Monday through Saturday) to ring bells are asked to contact Dazelle at (413) 356-3790 or via email to dazelm01@comcast.net.

“This goal represents a 10 percent increase over what we raised last year to assist local families who need our help,” said Mew. Laurie Matthews, who is the familiar face of the local Salvation Army office, echoed those sentiments.

“Funds collected stay local to help families in need at Christmas and all year round,” said Matthews.

Matthews noted that just on Wednesday she had received more than 50 telephone calls about signing up for Thanksgiving turkeys and Christmas gifts for children (newborn to age 16).

Matthews and her crew will be signing up families from 9 a.m. to noon on Oct. 31-Nov. 2, and Nov. 7-10, at the Amelia Park Ice

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD–Friends and family of the late Justin Messier gathered in the Super Phipps parking lot yesterday afternoon to pay their respects–by driving in a convoy.

Messier, of West Springfield, died Saturday night in the Russellville Road car crash and was honored by around 90 people who came to drive in a convoy from Super Phipps in Westfield, to Toomey O’Brien’s in West Springfield. The event was organized on Facebook by Messier’s friend, Jason Scribner.

“Everyone here knows him one way or another,” Scribner said. “We’re just here to pay our respects.”

Scribner said that the convoy was created because this is how Scribner, Messier and others in attendance knew each other.

“This is how pretty much how we all met, through trucks or off-roading,” Scribner said.

The trucks and other vehicles were adorned with a variety of flags, but the most frequent were Confederate, American and Gadsden flags. There was also a Gadsden flag in the back of one vehicle where mourners could sign their names. On other vehicles words of loss and mourning were written on windows.

An anonymous person at the gathering said that police allegedly refused to assist the group, so they had planned on blocking traffic and allegedly running red lights with their hazards on. Once the vehicles went to leave, one truck adorned with a Confederate flag, blocked the flow of traffic on one side to let the other vehicles from the convoy onto Route 20 in See Convoy, Page 8

Turnpike removal project starting on Halloween

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD — In addition to tricks and treats this Halloween, residents in Westfield will also have more construction in the city.

The city announced today that the state would begin the “Turnpike Removal Project” to remove turnpike booths on Interstate 90. The project will begin Oct. 31 and according to a notice sent out from the city, it will be around-the-clock work to remove the booths.

FALL SPECIAL! 99 Springfield Rd. Westfield, MA 413-568-2200 expertfitnesshc.com facebook.com/expertfitness

The constant portion of demolition will go on until at least Nov. 25, then will continue as weather permits.

The project is expected to be done July 31, 2017.

The Mass Pike entrance and exit will be reduced to one lane each during this demolition project, which will lead to significant traffic at times. In order to try and alleviate the issue, the city will be providing police officers to direct and maintain traffic.

our many student groups and organizations. This year, several volunteers from the community stepped forward to help the high school establish a new Outdoor Club.

Each of these individuals makes a difference in the lives of our students and the opportunities they have and this too came across at the last school committee meeting by a student/athlete and student council member who indicated the support she’s received over the years by these groups. In that light, we also should give credit to our students who give much of their time to improving the district, providing for community members through many service projects, and who do much of the planning and work to ensure that other students have opportunities that they wouldn’t have otherwise.

We have a great district with a considerable number of individuals making a difference through their efforts, both for the school and in the greater community.

Despite the many benefits coming from the hard work of a small group of people, it does make me wonder how much more could be accomplished if more people volunteered their time – what would that look like if we were able to double, triple, or even quadruple the number of people helping others through volunteerism? Let’s remember what the great anthropologist Margaret Meade wrote, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”

WESTFIELD — The Greater Westfield Community Band will present its fall concert on Wednesday October 26 at 7:30 p.m. at the North Middle School. Under the direction of Jim O’Connor some of the songs will be The Liberty Bell March, Toccata for Band, Salute to Broadway and a medley of songs from Lord of the Rings. The concert is free and open to the public, the school is handicap accessible and parking is free. Come along and enjoy a great evening of entertainment by this group, which has been performing for over 20 years.

Welcome Home Dinner Dance Please join the local VFW of Western Mass and Military Order of the Purple Heart organizations for a Welcome Home Dinner Dance on November 4th, 2016 at the Log Cabin in Holyoke, Massachusetts. This event will honor and welcome home our Vietnam Veterans. A portion of the proceeds will aid local Veteran Relief Funds, Immediate Medical/Material Resources, Wreaths Across America, Military Care Packages, Assisting Hospitalized Veterans, Family events in the local Veterans Community and Local Youth Scholarships.

HAMILTON, Bermuda (AP) — Hurricane Nicole may have brought more than wind and rain to Bermuda. Two fishermen are crediting the storm with bringing in an enormous 14-pound spiny lobster.

Charter boat captain Matthew Jones tells The Associated Press he and one of his workers, Tristan Loescher, were fishing off the shoreline on Friday, the day after the storm blew through the island. Jones says Loescher thought he had a snapper on the line after it somehow got wrapped around a mooring. When Loescher went in closer to investigate, he instead spotted the huge crustacean.

Jones says it’s one of the biggest lobsters he’s ever seen. Loescher held up the lobster for pictures before releasing it back into the water.

Jones says spiny lobsters are known to head to shore before storms.

Fox’s Wallace asks precise follow-up that makes news

By DAVID BAUDER AP Television Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Fox News’ Chris Wallace worked hard to keep the final presidential debate substantive with tough questions to Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, but it was the simplest of queries that extracted the biggest headline.

Noting Trump’s claims Wednesday night that the election was being rigged against him, Wallace asked the Republican whether he would accept the results win or lose, noting that GOP vice presidential candidate Mike Pence said that he would. When Trump answered that “we will look at it at the time,” Wallace seemed incredulous.

The veteran newsman pointed out that a peaceful transition of power is one of the nation’s longest traditions, no matter how tough the campaign.

“Are you saying you’re not prepared to commit to that principle?” Wallace asked Answered Trump: “I will keep you in suspense.”

Wallace walked the finest of lines during a campaign where debate moderators received an intense focus. As the first-ever general election moderator of Fox News, he had the hopes of an organization in the midst of a tough year riding on him along with additional baggage. Fox critics worried that he’d go easy on Trump because of the GOP bent of Fox’s primetime lineup.

He kept things straight and issue-oriented and rode herd on the audience and candidates to keep control. Wallace promised he would not take on the role of fact-checker and largely adhered to that, although he had one nasty exchange with Trump in correcting the candidate on statements made in Syria in the last debate.

Wallace tended to open a subject area with a general question before boring in on specifics to each candidate. For instance, he asked each candidate about their philosophies in naming Supreme Court justices, then moved in to ask Clinton about partial-birth abortions and Trump about whether he sought to overturn Roe vs. Wade.

“It was a fair and balanced debate,” said Megyn Kelly, Wallace’s Fox colleague. “He pressed both sides.”

Wallace asked Trump about the Republican’s denials that he had groped or made unwelcome advances to women. Several women have come forward with stories following the release of a lewd “Access Hollywood” tape where Trump bragged of touching women against their will, after Trump denied that he had engaged in the conduct.

“Why would so many different women from so many different circumstances over so many different years, why would they all in the last couple of weeks ... make up these stories?”

Wallace asked him.

When Trump claimed that “nobody has more respect for women than I do,” some audience members in Las Vegas laughed — and Wallace was quick to scold them. “Please, everybody,” he said.

While Trump twice made it a point to thank Wallace for questions posed to Clinton — including the former secretary of state’s claims in a leaked email about free trade — the Republican seemed visibly angry when the newsman tried to correct him on points made about Syria in a previous debate.

“If I may finish the question,” Wallace said.

His toughest exchange with Clinton came when he asked the Democrat about “pay-to-play” charges surrounding people who made contributions to the Clinton foundation. When Clinton answered by praising the work the Clinton foundation had done, Wallace interrupted her with a reminder to answer the question posed. She didn’t get the chance, since Trump interrupted at about the same time, and Wallace turned to him for a rebuttal.

While occasionally wordy, Wallace’s questions seemed designed to get the candidates talking and he mostly let them go at it. The candidates — typical for most debates — bulldozed past his questions at times but there seemed fewer interruptions than in the previous two debates.

The first debate, moderated by NBC’s Lester Holt, reached a record-setting audience of 84 million people. Last week’s second debate with CNN’s Anderson Cooper and ABC’s Martha Raddatz sharing the journalists’ duties reached 66.5 million. Ratings for Wednesday’s debate will be released today.

Five takeaways from the final debate of 2016

By GLENN THRUSH Politico.com LAS VEGAS — There were two candidates on the debate stage Wednesday night – and both were intent on demolishing Donald Trump’s campaign for the presidency.

Oh, it started off well enough. Trump, presented with one final chance to arrest his free-falling candidacy, began with a credible impersonation of a standard-issue GOP candidate, leveling effective charges against Clinton’s failures as a senator and secretary of state. His mien was presidential, his aim steady, his voice a buttery baritone.

Then, about a half an hour in, gravity – or lack thereof – pulled him back to Trump and, in a moment likely to be remembered beyond 2016, the GOP candidate refused to abide by the most basic rule of constitutional democracy, abiding by the result of an election.

Truly historic moments are rare in politics. But this was a thunderbolt that might have spelled the end for Trump’s dynamic, disorganized and self-destructive campaign and the elevation of the first female major party nominee, whose precision and preparedness has often been overshadowed by her flashier opponent.

Here are five takeaways from an historic, and possibly decisive, final debate of 2016.

1. Donald Trump made the biggest mistake of his life.

Like most gaffes, this one wasn’t actually a mistake but an honest statement of suicidal sentiment. Trump has been telling overflow crowds he believes the election is “rigged,” even though he’s the most unpopular candidate in modern memory and recent studies show that the actual rate of voter fraud is about as common as a lightning strike.

Trump was undone by a simple question, one that wouldn’t have been a speed-bump for a nominally prepped candidate; Instead he crashed and burned – a fatal one-car crash by a driver parking in his own garage. Asked moderator Chris Wallace: Would he support the results of the election, as every other presidential candidate has done since time immemorial?

“I will look at it at the time,” Trump said, to audible gasps in the debate hall at UNLV. “I will keep you in suspense.”

Why does this matter? CNN’s quickie post-debate poll gave Hillary Clinton a solid but decisive edge – 52 to 39 percent – not good for a guy who needed a big win, but not fatal either.

The problem is one of narrative: Every single sentient being in the press watching the debate, and not currently on the payroll of the Trump Organization, knew instantly that his refusal to accept the results of the election (foreshadowed by a similar feint during the primaries) was the moment of the debate, and quite possibly the most important moment of the campaign.

Here’s the lead the Associated Press wrote: “Threatening a fundamental pillar of American democracy, Donald Trump refused to say Wednesday night that he will accept the results of next month's election if he loses to Hillary Clinton. The Democratic nominee declared Trump's resistance ‘horrifying.’”

Ben Ginsburg, the puckish powerhouse D.C. lawyer who engineered George W. Bush’s Florida victory in 2000 recount, put it this way. “He had his best debate, by far. But it doesn’t matter.”

2. Hillary Clinton delivered the best debate performance of her career. At her worst, Clinton can be a mechanical cannedline robot in debates (remember “Trumped-up, trickle-down” in the first debate?). But her recent rise in the polls has loosened her up, aides say, despite a week of lukewarm debate prep that one aide told me was “a source of concern” the night before the debate. They needn’t have worried.

Clinton – wearing what my Politico colleague Annie Karni calls her “closer outfit,” an arctic white pantsuit Clinton wore during her closing speech at the Democratic convention and for her June 7th Brooklyn acceptance address after clinching the nomination -- was confident, relaxed and deadly-well prepared.

She methodically sliced into Trump’s initial composure as if she was removing the wrapping paper from a Christmas gift: She began with a stiletto swipe at his relationship with Russian strongman Vladimir Putin, dismissing Trump as a Kremlin puppet. That pulled him off the attack and onto defense, as Clinton had done so effectively in the first debate.

But her most powerful moment – possibly her best sequence of a verbose word-slaw 2016 campaign – came as Trump struggled to parry Wallace’s inevitable questioning of his alleged history of groping and sexual harassment. “Chris, she got these people to step forward,” Trump said, accusing Clinton of concocting a dozen stories of his misbehavior over three decades. “If it wasn't, they get their ten minutes of fame, but they were all totally -- it was all fiction. It was lies and it was fiction.”

This was one of those rare moments in Clinton’s career where her passion matched her preparation.

“Donald thinks belittling women makes him bigger,” Clinton

said, in a lower pitch than she usually uses to pursue her case.

“He goes after their dignity, their self-worth, and I don't think there is a woman anywhere that doesn't know what that feels like. So we now know what Donald thinks and what he says and how he acts toward women. That's who Donald is. I think it's really up to all of us to demonstrate who we are and who our country is and to stand up and be very clear about what we expect from our next president, how we want to bring our country together, where we don't want to have the kind of pitting of people one against the other, where instead we celebrate our diversity, we lift people up, and we make our country even greater.”

Later, he validated everything she said by casually calling her a “nasty woman.”

3. Chris Wallace should do this for a living. The second debate, a town hall format in St. Louis earlier this month, was a borderline national disgrace, thanks to Trump’s strategy of parading three Bill Clinton accusers into the debate hall, suggesting Clinton was the devil and declaring that she has “hatred in her heart.”

Wallace’s perch as the host of FOX News Sunday seemed to lion-tame Trump – whose constituency depends on the right-tilting network for news and opinion. Wallace asserted control early – shutting both candidates down when they tried to talk over one another, and shushing the audience when they reacted too audibly. But Wallace’s greatest asset was his easy mastery of the issues, which seemed on a par with both candidates, allowing him to keep the discourse (more or less) focused on policy as opposed to personality.

4. Hillary got off the hook. Before the debate, Clinton rated as an 85 percent shoo-in, according to most of the big poll aggregation sites, and a better opponent would have made Wednesday might a referendum on her fitness to rule. Trump – whose thoughts tumble into each other like sleepy toddlers on the milk-and-cookies line – was simply incapable of sustaining a coherent attack on a multitude of Clinton vulnerabilities.

Each day, with eerie regularity, WikiLeaks dumps internal campaign emails disclosing all kinds of potentially damaging detail. A critical moment in the debate came when Wallace pointedly asked Clinton about one of the most controversial things she said in one of her closed-door Wall Street speeches.

“In a speech you gave to a Brazilian bank for which you were paid $225,000, we've learned from WikiLeaks, that you said this. ‘My dream is a hemispheric common market with open trade and open borders.’”

Clinton dodged, saying (somewhat dubiously) that she had only been referring to trans-border energy development – and quickly attacked WikiLeaks and Trump for being in cahoots with Russian intelligence.

Trump, rightly, cried foul: “That was a great pivot off the fact that she wants open borders. Okay? How did we get on to Putin?”

But then he descended into a bog of defensiveness, babbling about his non-relationship with the demi-despot (“I don't know Putin. He said nice things about me. If we got along well, that would be good.”) and decided to get into a fight with U.S. intelligence officials who have pointed to the Kremlin’s involvement in the hacks (She has no idea whether it is Russia, China or anybody else” did it).

And that was it for discussing Clinton’s ambiguous and questionable “open borders” comment.

5. Self-delusion is not a strategy. After the debate Trump tweeted the results of two friendly and unscientific online polls – one from the Drudge Report, the other from the Washington Times – showing that he had won the debate decisively.

GE could appeal decision upholding EPA cleanup plan PITTSFIELD, Mass. (AP) — General Electric says it's "disappointed" by a decision upholding the Environmental Protection Agency's plan that requires the company to clean chemicals from a western Massachusetts river.

The Berkshire Eagle reports that General Electric issued a statement Wednesday indicating that it may appeal Tuesday's decision upholding the $613 million proposal. It would have a 30-day window after the EPA issues its final cleanup permit.

The EPA proposes cleaning PCBs, or polychlorinated biphenyls, from more than 400 acres along a 10.5-mile stretch of the Housatonic (hoos-uh-TAH'-nihk) River in Pittsfield and Lenox. It includes dredging and trucking contaminated soil and sediment to an out-of-state facility.

The decision by the EPA's Boston office says GE's argument that the removal requirements are "arbitrary" and "unlawful" fails to present sufficient information to dispute the agency's plan.

Ex-US Rep. Kennedy gets mistaken criticism from email probe PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Former Rep. Patrick Kennedy is clarifying that he isn't the Patrick Kennedy featured in newly released records from an FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails.

The former Democratic Congressman from Rhode Island said on social media Wednesday that many people have confused him with Patrick F. Kennedy, who was Clinton's aide when she was secretary of state.

Documents released by the FBI disclosed that the other Patrick Kennedy asked the FBI to change the classification of an email on Clinton's private server last year to keep it secret.

After the documents were released, some Twitter users told the ex-congressman that he'd shamed his family's name. He's a son of the late Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy and nephew of President John F. Kennedy.

He says he never served in the State Department.

Westfield.

Jake Hawley of Westfield, who was a friend of Messier’s and was also in attendance, was not surprised by the large turnout.

“He was a kid with a constant smile on his face,” Hawley said. “He would literally sit there and do whatever he could to make you a happy. Just an all-around great guy.”

Hawley said that what he will miss most about Messier is his smile.

“My favorite part about him was his smile,” he said.

“He had a chipped tooth and when he smiled you couldn’t help but smile, too.”

Nikki Batrandi, also of Westfield, said that Messier was also a caring person, which drew people to him, as well.

She recounted a story about him when Messier and her were dating.

“He wanted a duck so bad and they didn’t have any at the Tractor Supply store. So, we drove an hour and a half to get ducks,” she recalled, laughing.

Batrandi said that the ducks were something that Messier always wanted, and he cared for them immensely.

“He would sit on the couch and the ducks would just sit on his legs,” she said. “They followed him around and he always wanted to put them on a leash.”

“We were ecstatic (food pantry) with the results,” said Munson. “I think it was wonderful.”

Lt. Bishop also noted that he first went to Southwick Police Chief Dave Ricardi and informed him of his intentions before taking Marshall and Chief Ricardi gave Lt. Bishop permission and was fully behind it.

Falcons down Bombers

By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Minnechaug’s Gabrielle Ward scored the only goal of the game, and the Falcons’ field hockey team held off a hard-charging Westfield Bombers’ unit for a 1-0 victory Wednesday in the Whip City.

Ward tallied the goal in the second half.

Minnechaug goalie Samantha Falcone (3 saves) earned a shutout. Westfield keeper Gwen Smith finished with 14 saves.

Westfield fell to 5-7-2 overall, 1-4 league. The Bombers, who must win two of their final three game and at least tie in another to qualify for the postseason, return to action Monday at Longmeadow. Game time is 4 p.m.

Patrice Bergeron expected to return for Bruins’ home opener

By MATT KALMAN Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Bruins won twice and lost once during their season-opening trip despite missing center Patrice Bergeron because of a lower-body injury.

When they host the New Jersey Devils at TD Garden in their home opener Thursday night, the Bruins are expected to have their scoring leader back.

Bergeron, an alternate captain and a three-time 30-goal scorer, practiced with the Bruins on Wednesday at Warrior Ice Arena for the first time since he suffered the injury near the end of practice Oct. 12. There's a strong possibility he will be back in the lineup against the Devils.

"Of course. I want to be (back) as fast as possible," Bergeron said. "That's the talk I've had all week with (the medical staff). But at the same time you have to respect their opinion that they're the ones that are putting the team and my interest in front and making sure we're all taking care of that.

So we'll see what happens. Obviously I'd like to be on the ice, but ... hopefully I feel good tonight and tomorrow morning and we can go from there."

Bergeron said he felt fine after going through the entire practice and not being limited in his activities. He wouldn't get more specific about his injury and would only say, "It was in practice. I just hurt myself."

Bruins coach Claude Julien expects to have Bergeron in the lineup.

"Unless I'm told otherwise today or tomorrow when he comes in and feels any different, I think we're hoping he's going to be in the lineup," Julien said.

The Bruins made do without Bergeron by moving David Backes from right wing to center between Bergeron's expected linemates Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak. The line of Backes, Marchand and Pastrnak combined for 16 points in the Bruins' three games. Bergeron is expected to get his old spot back with Backes moving to another line.

The Bruins, who start a three-game homestand against the Devils, were 17-8-6 last season and their home struggles contributed to their missing the Stanley Cup playoffs for a second straight season. Coming off a relatively successful road trip, Boston knows it needs to exercise some home dominance to prove it's an improved team.

"We all know we've still got to improve as a hockey club," Julien said. "And there's areas where we need to be better.

But the fact that we were able to get through this road trip with a bunch of new players, the first road trip, and come out of there with a winning record is a good thing. So we've got to follow it up with this short home stretch here and hopefully we can build on that."

Having Bergeron back should help the Bruins' attempt to keep improving.

Dear Annie

By ANNIE LANE

Keep It Down Down There!

Dear Annie: I live in a large city with high real estate prices. This has prevented me from buying my own home, so I reside in an apartment. I have done so for the majority of my adult life. All of my previous experiences have been pleasant. However, the most recent apartment complex I moved to has very thin walls, and as a result, I can hear just about everything that goes on in my neighbors’ apartments.

A new neighbor recently moved to the apartment below me, and I can hear everything that goes on down there. Our building has a strict rule stating that there should be no loud noise between the hours of 9 p.m. and 9 a.m. Unfortunately, my downstairs neighbor seems to be a night owl, and I have been woken up on numerous occasions at 2 in the morning by her partying and loud talking. I have spoken to my landlord twice about this, and he has assured me that he has spoken to her. However, this behavior continues to happen.

I understand that you have to choose your battles as an apartment dweller; however, this neighbor’s complete disregard of the apartment rules has my blood boiling. I have invested in earplugs, and a kind co-worker gave me a white-noise machine that she was not using. Using these tools has helped me, but the fact remains that this woman seems to have no regard for anyone. I feel completely disrespected, and it makes me angry that she is keeping me awake.

Moving is not an option for me right now, so I believe I am doing the only thing I can do by keeping the landlord aware of this behavior.

Annie, I am not really asking for your advice. I am asking you to please print this letter as a public service and a reminder to all apartment residents to remember that there are others in close range who deserve consideration. I think this will help numerous individuals who are in my situation. Thank you for letting me vent. -- Blood Has Boiled Over Dear Boiling: Always happy to let people vent if it prevents an explosion, but I am going to make one suggestion here: Talk to your neighbor. It’s possible your landlord never actually talked to her in the first place. And even if he did, he may be out of sight, out of mind as far as she’s concerned.

Stop by for a neighborly chat, and ask this woman to keep it down. Once she sees the face -- and major under-eye circles -- of the person she’s keeping up every night, it ought to be harder for her to party on as if no one outside her four paper-thin walls exists.

Dear Annie: It’s been a few days, but I find I just can’t let pass how strongly I disagree with your reply to “On Clearance,” the girl whose boyfriend got free concert tickets for her birthday. You advised her to let her boyfriend know that she does not consider them a present because he didn’t have to pay for them. I would have told her to get over herself -- that if the cost of a gift is most important to her, she should rethink her values. She writes that she is not materialistic, but maybe she needs to check that definition.

Also, she can’t know what this “cost” him. He listened to her interests and desires. He actually gave thought to how he could fulfill one of those desires. He put himself out there for her and asked his friend for the favor. He was her knight in shining armor.

He plans to escort her and try to see to it that she enjoys herself.

If I could advise him, I’d tell him, “Run!” He would be fortunate to find out her true, only-interested-in-the-almighty-dollar nature before entering into any long-term relationship. There are plenty of young ladies out there who would thank their lucky stars for such a thoughtful beau. -- Florida Reader Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.com.

HINTS FROM HELOISE PRODUCE STORAGE Dear Heloise: Since it is just my husband and me now, we use less lettuce and vegetables. I have found that if I wrap the lettuce in a paper towel, then back in the original bag, it stays fresh for up to two weeks. I also found that by putting a paper towel around the inside of bagged salad, it will last longer.

I also put paper towels under mushrooms, strawberries and cut onion for fresher and longer-lasting produce. You even can wrap a paper towel around green onions. Paper towels have become my product to use for many produce items to keep them fresh. -- Janet, via email A lot of people have great success storing these items in paper towels (then wrapping in a plastic bag or storing in a vegetable bin in the refrigerator). It has to do with keeping moisture away from the lettuce and vegetables. Be sure to check the dampness of the paper towels every couple of days, and replace as needed. -- Heloise RESPONSIBLY REUSE Dear Heloise: As an avid cook, I am always in the kitchen, which means a lot of hand-washing. I prefer to use my hand towels that can be washed, but sometimes you need a paper towel or it’s closer at the time. When I use a paper towel to dry my hands, I then let the paper towel air-dry so that I can use it again to wipe up messes on the counter and floor. It seems to really make my paper-towel roll last longer! -- Carol H., Omaha, Neb.

Jones’ message to Steelers teammates: ‘Don’t panic’

By WILL GRAVES AP Sports Writer PITTSBURGH (AP) — Landry Jones is a realist. Call it the byproduct of spending the last three-plus years fighting for a job and fending off repeated attempts by the Pittsburgh Steelers to find somebody better to back up Ben Roethlisberger.

So in a team meeting

Wednesday, with the franchise quarterback resting at home while recovering from left knee surgery and a visit from the New England Patriots awaiting on Sunday, Jones felt it was time to send a message, albeit more than a little tongue in cheek.

"Don't panic."

No, really.

"Any time THE Landry

Jones graces us with his verbal leadership, we appreciate that," linebacker Arthur Moats said with a laugh.

"In all seriousness ... we understand the 'next man up motto' doesn't matter. Any position as you've seen this year, we've had those guys have success. It's no different with Landry."

Roethlisberger. Then again, few are. That hardly means he expects offensive coordinator Todd Haley to delete half the playbook or the Steelers (4-2) to cower at the sight of Tom Brady.

From the day the Steelers took him in the fourth round of the 2013 draft, Jones has believed he can be an NFL starting quarterback. That belief hasn't wavered. Now in the final year of his rookie contract, Jones is well aware there's possibly more at stake Sunday than one game in the standings.

There's a very real chance to prove to 31 other teams he can be a difference maker.

"Yeah, but that's way on the backburner though," Jones said Wednesday. "Right now, I'm on this team. I'm ready to go. I want to play and I want to play well. And I want to win the game. All of that stuff will take care of itself."

Maybe, though it often doesn't for second-string quarterbacks when tasked with trying to beat a Hall of Famer. The Patriots have rarely lost to backups on Brady's watch. The list of newbies who have shaken Brady's hand in triumph over the past 16 years is short.

Really short.

Roethlisberger did it in 2004, though by Week 7 the rookie had already supplanted Tommy Maddox as the starter. Kevin Kolb did it in Week 2 in 2012 as Arizona pulled off an unlikely upset in Foxboro.

Brock Osweiler did it while subbing for Peyton Manning last November, a performance that helped swing home-field advantage to the Broncos in the playoffs and Osweiler land a $72 million contract from Houston in the offseason.

Otherwise, backup quarterbacks have met the same fate as everyone else caught trying to outsmart Bill Belichick or keep up with Brady.

Jones, however, hopes the Steelers don't do anything differently with him in the huddle instead of Roethlisberger.

The leading passer in Big 12 history during his record-setting career at Oklahoma was intermittently effective in 2015, leading a second-half rally at Arizona and a winning drive against Oakland with Roethlisberger unavailable.

Yet Jones also did little in a loss at Kansas City in the one game he started and finished.

He looked overmatched when thrown into last January's wildcard game in Cincinnati while Roethlisberger was getting his sprained right shoulder worked on, throwing what appeared to be a season-ending pick before the Bengals went into a full meltdown.

The Steelers weren't exactly impressed, re-signing veteran Bruce Gradkowski to serve as Roethlisberger's understudy in the spring.

When Gradkowski went on injured reserve with a torn hamstring in August, Jones survived once again. He was OK if hardly spectacular during the preseason, playing extensively while Roethlisberger rested.

Now Roethlisberger is out — again — and Jones finds himself with perhaps his last best chance to show he belongs.

Make no mistake, he's going out there swinging. And there's proof Pittsburgh can survive without Roethlisberger's familiar No. 7: The Steelers are 11-9 when Roethlisberger hasn't started since 2004.

YOUR

HOROSCOPE

Contract Bridge

By Jaqueline Bigar

DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Oct. 20, 2016: This year you alternate between being chatty and lively and being deep and reflective. You will note a tendency to be moodier than in previous years.

Understand that this change in temperament occurs more frequently when you are out and about. If you are single, you meet people with ease; however, you sometimes feel that you are too intense or needy for others. Generally, your fears are not grounded. If you are attached, the two of you make many fun plans involving travel. You are likely to make a public commitment together. CANCER can unnerve you.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Your mind is working overtime. You’ll accomplish a lot, but you also might want to schedule some time for yourself. You could find yourself in a social situation; take advantage of this moment. Create a calmer workspace.

Deslauriers and Mary E. Deslauriers Dated: 05/26/2000 Recorded 06/01/2000 DBV & page: 11217184 Consideration:

On or about November 8, 2016, the City of Westfield, through its Office of Community Development, will submit a request to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for the release of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds under Title 1 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, to undertake the following program: A Westfield Home Improvement Program for the purpose of providing funds to owner occupants of existing one-tofour unit residential homes to assist them in making home repairs.

The request for release of program funds to HUD is for the following years: Federal Fiscal Year of Funding: October 1, 2015-16 and October 1, 2016-17 The activities proposed are categorically excluded under HUD regulations at 24CFR Part 58 from National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Requirements. An Environmental Review Record (ERR) that documents the environmental determinations for this program is on file in the Office of Community Development, Westfield City Hall, 59 Court Street, Westfield MA and may be examined and copied weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

PUBLIC COMMENTS Any individual, group or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to the Office of Community Development. All comments received by November 7, 2016 will be considered by the City prior to the submission of a Request for Release of Funds.

RELEASE OF FUNDS The City of Westfield certifies to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that Brian P. Sullivan, in his official capacity as Mayor of the City of Westfield and Certifying Officer, consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities, and allows the City of Westfield to use CDBG Program funds for the purpose specified.
