Humason, Leahy debate issues in Westfield forum By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – In front of a crowd who took shelter on a damp dreary evening in the auditorium of Westfield Vocational-Technical High School’s upper campus, the two candidates for the 2nd Hampden-Hampshire District State Senate seat faced off in a forum sponsored by The Westfield News Group. The candidates – incumbent Westfield Republican Don Humason, Jr. and Holyoke Democrat Patrick Leahy – sparred for an hour on issues ranging from gun crime to the four statewide referendum questions on the November 4 ballot that will also bear both their names. Moderated by Westfield News Group President Patrick Berry, the two candidates played to their strengths throughout the evening, with Humason touting his years as Westfield’s State Representative and his experience in Boston, which Leahy – a police officer and Realtor making his first run for public office – believes is the district’s problem. “My opponent has said the experiences he has in the Statehouse makes him a better candidate for state office and I couldn’t disagree more,” said Leahy, who cited several times during the evening his prior work with former State Treasurer Shannon O’Brien rooting out government waste and corruption. “We need people in Boston who have worked in the real world, who have seen the laws that are passed in Boston and how they’re

(Photo by Frederick Gore) actually applied on the streets, from the hilltowns to the downtowns,” he said. Despite Leahy’s attempts to paint him as an insider, Humason replied that he is still in touch with the people he represents. “I only work in Boston – I live in the real world,” said Humason. “I grew up right here in the city of Westfield, working through high school and college.” “I’ve held all sorts of jobs and it wasn’t until I got to college that I decided the direction I wanted to take was public service,” said Humason. “I think it’s a little disengenuous for a police officer to say that I can’t do the job because I’m in public service.” When asked who the two candidates would support in the race for the 4th Hampden district seat in the House of Representatives, Humason refused to answer the question, citing the relationship he has developed with the current Rep., Democrat John Velis. Velis will be facing off against Republican at-large City Councilor Dan Allie in a rematch of their April 1 special election to fill Humason’s old seat. “Regardless of who takes that position – the incumbent or the
challenger – I pledge to work side by side with them,” said Humason. While a Holyoke resident, Leahy stated he would support Velis if he resided in Westfield before taking a tacit jab at Humason, who endorsed Allie prior to the spring special election. The issue of housing homeless citizens was also raised, with Leahy saying that there should be a move away from housing them in hotels. “We need to move to a voucher program so we can move people out of hotels,” he said. “There are programs in Holyoke that are taking over buildings and making them temporary shelters for families in transition. This has been languishing under the leadership of this man (Humason).” Humason retorted that the plan to house the homeless in hotels was put forth by Governor Deval Patrick. “This plan was sent down through the Division of Housing and Community Development and is not one widely supported by See Forum, Page 5

Shoplifter sought By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – City detectives are asking for help from the public to identify a shoplifter who fled from store employees at the Walmart store on Springfield Road Monday afternoon. A caller from the store reported the incident at 12:57 p.m. and said that the man had fled. Officers Jeffrey Vigneault and David Burl responded to the store. See Shoplifter, Page 3
Expensive joke By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A Westfield State university student has found that her “stupid joke” is going to cost her $100. City police Sgt. Eric Hall reports that an anonymous person provided him with a screen shot of a Twitter account picture which shows two young women in front of the Westfield Police Department and one of the women pictured is seen to be holding what appears to be a marijuana pipe to her mouth and apparently smoking. A caption made a rude suggestion in reference to police. Hall reports he sought assistance from Det. Brian Freeman who was able to find the Twitter post which included the picture and a second post which claimed the photo credit for the See Joke, Page 5
By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – At the Westfield Athenaeum Wednesday, a small collection of downtown merchants and assembled city officials gathered to hear the announcement regarding the city’s plans to continue where the recently-dissolved Westfield Business Improvement District (WBID) left off. According to Westfield Mayor Daniel M. Knapik, the initiative has drawn in two sponsors – United Bank and Firtion-Adams Funeral Home – to donate a combined $11,500 to Westfield on Weekends (WOW) and to lead the charge in challenging others to donate to beautifying and revitalizing the city’s downtown. “This is a giant leap forward for the city and it provides a key transition from where we were over the summer with the dissolution vote,” said Knapik. “With this energy and momentum, we didn’t want to take a step backwards.” Knapik also donated $100 to the effort, joining City Council President Brent Bean II and Prob Reshamwala, owner of Mina’s Wine and Spirits of Elm Street, who also each donated $100 and $162 respectively during the

Southwick MCAS math scores take dip By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – Curriculum Director Maureen Wilson presented a report to the Southwick-Tolland-Granville Regional School District this week showing a drop in recent MCAS math scores. Superintendent John Barry said the district is holding or improving its scores in ELA across the board. “But we’re starting to see a little drop off in math,” Barry said. The drop has occurred primarily in the elementary and middle school grades but the high school scores are fairly strong. “In grade 10 math, we have 86 percent advanced and proficient, and 92 percent in ELA,” he said. The high school remains a Level One school, while the middle and elementary schools – including Granville Village School – are Level Two schools, which surprised GVS Principal Linda Christofori. “Granville was pretty consistent,” she said.
Barry asked each school principal to briefly outline their plans to improve scores. Christofori said all students would participate in units of study and work with a math coach. “We’re utilizing the ELA coach with the primary grades,” she said. Woodland Elementary School Principal Kim Sasso said the school was stepping up its professional development training and was using guided reading groups and MCAS practice, as well as Math DR. JOHN BARRY Envisions. Powder Mill Middle School Principal Ron Peloquin said the math score trends are “very concerning” and he studied when and why the scores began to drop off.

Westfield State works ‘9 to 5’ WESTFIELD — Westfield State University’s student-run group the Musical Theater Guild (MTG) will perform the musical “9 to 5” on Dever Stage in Parenzo Hall from Thursday, October 23 through Saturday, October 25. Show times are 7:30 p.m. nightly with a 2 p.m. matinee on Saturday, October 25. Based on the 1980 movie of the same name “9 to 5” follows Violet, Doralee, and Judy, three secretaries who work under domineering, sexist, egotistical office manager Franklin Hart, Jr. United in their hatred, the three concoct a plan of revenge to get even with their boss and take control of the workplace. Music and lyrics for “9 to 5” were written by Dolly Parton, who starred as Doralee in the original film. The musical premiered on Broadway in 2009 with an all-star cast including Megan Hilty from NBC’s “Smash” and Allison Janney from CBS’s “Mom.” The Musical Theater Guild (MTG) is the oldest student-run club on campus, and was founded in the 1972. The club puts on two musicals per school year. MTG has just four weeks to organize a full musical, including learning a full score and script, movement dur-
ing each scene, dancing, and constructing a full set for the show. “9 to 5” is directed by seniors Beth Teague ’15 of Dracut, Mass. and Allison O’Neil ’15 of Lowell. O’Neil has previously acted in MTG productions, but for “9 to 5” she wanted to take a behind the scenes approach. “Ever since I joined MTG it has been a dream of mine to direct,” O’Neil said. “We have so many talented members in our club and getting to work with them on a different level has been an amazing experience.” Teague said they chose “9 to 5” because the musical is comedic and tackles relevant issues. “We live in a world full of gender stereotypes and roles,” Teague said. “‘9 to 5’ challenges gender roles and portrays women in a capable and powerful light while still being comedic. We are still working toward gender equality today, and this musical supports that goal. We’re hoping the audience both enjoys the hilarity of the show while also coming out feeling empowered.” O’Neil said the underlying theme of taking control of your surroundings makes the play relatable for both genders. “I think this musical will appeal to both men

Tickets are $2 for students, $4 for seniors, and $6 for general admission. They can be purchased at the door or reserved through Chelsea Orifice at corifice2860@westfield.ma.edu.

Nebraska trucker returns bull mastiff to Arizona LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A dog-loving Nebraska trucker has taken a lost 95-pound bull mastiff on a 1,380-mile trip back to her owners in Arizona. The Lincoln Journal Star reports (http:// bit.ly/ZGjMEo ) Dani and Jason Windham were getting ready for their Aug. 4 wedding in Nebraska when their three dogs knocked down a fence and ran. Animal control found the other two, but not Koda. Seven days later, the Windhams moved to Camp Verde, Arizona. Last week, Koda was found after a farmer reported a dog chasing his cattle about 40 miles away from where she disappeared. The Windhams couldn’t afford to fly her back, so a lost pets group in Nebraska put out a call for help. Truck driver Jimmy Dimmit answered. Koda got to ride in the front seat during the 24-hour drive. She was reunited with her happy owners Monday.

O
n Oct. 23, 1944, the World War II Battle of Leyte Gulf began, resulting in a major Allied victory against Japanese forces.
On this date: In 1707, the first Parliament of Great Britain, created by the Acts of Union between England and Scotland, held its first meeting. In 1864, forces led by Union Maj. Gen. Samuel R. Curtis repelled Confederate Maj. Gen. Sterling Price’s army in the Civil War Battle of Westport in Missouri. In 1915, tens of thousands of women marched in New York City, demanding the right to vote. In 1935, mobster Dutch Schultz, 34, was shot and mortally wounded with three other men during a gangland hit at the Palace Chophouse in Newark, New Jersey. (Schultz died the following day.) In 1942, during World War II, Britain launched a major offensive against Axis forces at El Alamein in Egypt, resulting in an Allied victory. In 1954, West Germany was invited to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which it did the following year. In 1956, a student-sparked revolt against Hungary’s Communist rule began; as the revolution spread, Soviet forces started entering the country, and the uprising was put down within weeks. In 1972, the musical “Pippin” opened on Broadway. In 1983, 241 U.S. service members, most of them Marines, were killed in a suicide truck-bombing at Beirut International Airport in Lebanon; a near-simultaneous attack on French forces killed 58 paratroopers. In 1984, BBC Television reported on the famine in Ethiopia; the story, which shocked viewers, prompted
rock star Bob Geldof to organize “Band Aid,” a group of celebrities who recorded the song “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” for charity.
fused legs, a rare condition often called “mermaid syndrome,” died in Portland, Maine.
In 1989, 23 people were killed in an explosion at Phillips Petroleum Co.’s chemical complex in Pasadena, Texas. In a case that inflamed racial tensions in Boston, Charles Stuart claimed that he and his pregnant wife, Carol, had been shot in their car by a black robber. (Carol Stuart and her prematurely delivered baby died; Charles Stuart later died, an apparent suicide, after he himself was implicated.)
A defensive Obama administration acknowledged its problem-plagued health insurance website didn’t get enough testing before going live; it said technicians were deep into the job of fixing major computer snags, but provided no timetable. German Chancellor Angela Merkel called President Barack Obama to complain about allegations U.S. intelligence had targeted her cellphone. (The White House said it wasn’t monitoring and wouldn’t monitor Merkel’s communications, but conspicuously didn’t say they had never been monitored.) The Boston Red Sox took the World Series opener, beating the St. Louis Cardinals 8-1.
In 2002, gunmen seized a crowded Moscow theater, taking hundreds hostage and threatening to kill their captives unless the Russian army pulled out of Chechnya. (Three days later, special forces stormed the theater; 130 captives died, along with all 40 gunmen.)
Ten years ago: Gunmen ambushed a group of U.S.-trained Iraqi soldiers east of Baghdad; around 50 of the unarmed soldiers were killed execution-style. A 6.8 magnitude earthquake in northern Japan killed 40 people. Brazil launched its first rocket into space, 14 months after an accident killed 21 space agency employees. The Boston Red Sox took Game 1 of the World Series, defeating the St. Louis Cardinals 11-9. Singer Ashlee Simpson, performing on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live,” was tripped up when the backing track for a different song featuring her voice began to play, prompting accusations of lip-synching. Opera singer Robert Merrill, 87, died in New Rochelle, New York.

President Barack Obama declared the swine flu outbreak a national emergency, giving his health chief the power to let hospitals move emergency rooms offsite to speed treatment and protect noninfected patients. Bank closings for 2009 surpassed 100, hitting 106 by day’s end. The NBA and the referees union agreed on a two-year contract, ending a lockout of more than a month.

Since then, scores have declined. Peloquin said in 2013 there was a fivepoint drop in math and a two-point drop in English, with an additional six-point drop in math and another two- to three-point drop in English last year. Peloquin said Powder Mill also experienced a 73 percent change in staff over the past few years as teachers retired or relocated. He assured the committee teachers did not leave because they were unhappy at he school. Committee member Jean McGivney-Burelle asked how Peloquin would combat the decline. He said hiring experienced teachers versus new ones would help, as well as more training for teachers on common core. “It’s not an overnight change,” he said.

We’re going to turn this right around and get this back to where it was going.” Dena Hall, regional president of United Bank and a member of the Westfield Redevelopment Authority, went even further, announcing that the bank will be donating $10,000 to WOW. “We’re very committed to
Westfield, as we’ve been in this community as Westfield Cooperative Bank for 100 years and Westfield United Bank since 1981 and we’ve supported WOW since the beginning,” said Hall. “When the BID was dissolved we asked ‘what can we do? Where can we step in?’ We have deep pockets, we’re a $5 billion organization.” Hall added that United will match every dollar that anyone wants to donate, with their goal being to raise $20,000 by November 25. “We want to declare our success at the WOW tree lighting,” she said. “We’re excited and encouraged by everyone here today. Hopefully everyone in the community will take our lead, step up and participate.” Following words from Sen. Don Humason, Jr. and Rep. John Velis, who secured $15,000 for the organization in Boston, Knapik added that a piece of legislation was put forth to the city council earlier this year that would allow it to adopt a state law allowing the city to donate to charitable causes. “I believe that is a critical component that will allow us to ensure the progress we’ve made will go on into the future,” he said. “There’s always money to do things when you’re a mayor, it’s what’s important to you. “This is the next big step, for the city to be able to donate to charitable causes,” Knapik continued. “Because if the community representatives think it’s important – because the community said so – then
money has been allocated within the city’s public works budget to hire four seasonal laborers to work pick up where the BID’s “Clean Team” left off, handling trash details and cleaning sidewalks among other tasks once performed by the BID. “To make downtown a good place to do business, we have to ensure it is an inviting place for commerce to come,” Knapik said, adding that these workers will be at work until (Photo by Frederick Gore) the next budget cycle.

CDC steps up Ebola monitoring of West African travelers By Brett Norman Politico.com U.S. health officials Wednesday announced they are stepping up Ebola surveillance to monitor all travelers — including Americans — from three West African countries for symptoms of the virus for 21 days. The new policy comes amid growing clamor from lawmakers for travel bans, visa cancellations, limits on air travel or even quarantines. Concerns about an inadequate government response, combined with public anxiety about the lethal disease, have spilled onto the campaign trail before the November elections. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Tom Frieden said the initiative begins Monday for people coming into the six states that are the arrival point for 70 percent of the affected travelers — New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, New Jersey and Georgia. The monitoring will apply to people who are traveling from Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone, the three Ebola-devastated nations. New White House “Ebola czar” Ron Klain, a former chief of staff for Vice President Joe Biden, started his first day on the job. He’s tasked with overseeing the governmentwide response at home and in West Africa. He and President Barack Obama met face-to-face Wednesday afternoon with other administration officials working on containing the disease. The new CDC monitoring will cover all travelers, and the majority are either U.S. citizens or longtime legal residents, Frieden said. That includes CDC staff, journalists and other people helping with the Ebola response. CDC officials will work with health officials in other states to track any possible exposures there as well, and the active monitoring will be expanded nationwide. Ebola has an incubation period of up to 21 days, meaning people can be infected for three weeks before showing symptoms. They are not contagious until they are symptomatic. The announcement comes as the threat of new cases arising from the first Dallas Ebola patient begins to recede. Obama said he was “cautiously more optimistic” about the decreasing risk of more infections linked to Dallas. And he also pledged that American hospitals would improve preparedness. “We’re going to systematically and steadily just make sure that every hospital has a plan; that they are displaying CDC information that has currently been provided” so they can take “step-by-step precautions when they’re dealing with somebody who might have Ebola,” he said.
By Ben White Politico.com AUGUSTA, Ga. — If Democrat Michelle Nunn is going to defy the odds and win a Senate race in the deep South it’s going to be because of people like Elizabeth Grubbs, a 30-yearold Waffle House waitress and student who feels stuck and anxious in the troubled American economy. Grubbs says she is inclined to vote for Republican nominee David Perdue. But Nunn’s relentless attacks on Perdue’s record of outsourcing as a corporate executive clearly hit home. “Republicans are supposed to be the party of American business and the economy and all that, but he’s moving jobs overseas. It isn’t right,” Grubbs said this week while nursing a coffee at a sidewalk cafe in this faded Southern city. So will she vote for Nunn? “I don’t know. Won’t she just be an Obama clone?” Grubbs said, mimicking the barrage of Perdue ads making just that claim. “And I don’t want to hear anything about how the economy is getting oh so much better under this president because it isn’t. It’s still crap.” That sentiment — a raw anxiety about the state of the economy and President Barack Obama’s leadership — courses beneath the entirety of the 2014 midterm elections in ways that clearly tilt the landscape in favor of the GOP picking up the six seats they need to retake the Senate while adding a handful of House seats. But the fault lines run much deeper than one relatively desultory midterm election campaign and present risks and opportunities to both parties that will shape politics in 2016 and beyond. In over a dozen interviews in Georgia and neighboring North Carolina, where incumbent Democrat Kay Hagan is struggling to hang onto her seat, undecided voters spoke of their disgust with Washington gridlock and their frustration over stagnant wages, limited job prospects and general dismay over the direction of the country. For now, this grim outlook mostly hurts Democrats who are tethered to an unpopular president with dismal ratings on the economy. Tight races in Colorado, Alaska, North Carolina and elsewhere appear to be trending away from Democrats in large part because of this abiding malaise. But that is not the case here in Georgia, where things are actually much worse than the nation as a whole. The jobless rate is the highest in the nation at 7.9 percent, fully 2 points above the national rate of 5.9 percent. And Nunn seems to have found a way to turn Perdue’s top selling point, his record as business executive, against him. She continues to hammer Perdue on the stump, in debates and in TV ads for his work at North Carolina textile manufacturer Pillowtex and other companies involved in outsourcing. She regularly invokes a Perdue quote from a 2005 deposition, first reported by POLITICO, in which the GOP candidate said he spent “most of my career” involved in outsourcing. More recently, Perdue faced a story about a million-dollar investment fund he owns managed by a Swiss bank. Nunn, in an interview after an event in Decatur this week, called Perdue “out of touch” with Georgia citizens. “I was surprised at his response, and I think most Georgians have been whether by starting out by saying he was proud of his career in outsourcing or then moving forward and saying that Georgians didn’t understand business.” Many of the attacks on Perdue — which his campaign criticizes as unfair and taken out of context — mirror the successful approach Democrats took to undermine Mitt Romney’s business credentials in 2012. In this case, outsourcing stands in for Romney’s record in the private-equity industry, which included shutting down some failing companies but creating jobs elsewhere. That is the Perdue response in Georgia. Pillowtex was dead no matter what Perdue did, the argument goes, and that most of his “outsourcing” work was to find cheaper production methods and materials abroad to maintain jobs in the U.S. “David Perdue has spent his entire career taking on tough business challenges, growing American companies like Reebok and Dollar General, and creating and saving thousands of good jobs here at home,” Perdue spokeswoman Megan Whittemore said. Fair or not, the outsourcing attacks — coupled with the fact that Nunn is the daughter of popular former Georgia Sen. Sam Nunn — pushed the Democratic candidate into a deadlocked race with a real shot at winning. Should Democrats take Georgia away from the GOP, Republicans would then need to net seven seats to take the Senate, a tall though not impossible task. Nunn, like Democrats nationwide, is struggling to overcome a drag from Obama while also counting on the party machine to turn out the kind of big African-American vote she will need to win on Nov. 4. She will need that turnout effort even more if neither she nor Perdue hit 50 percent on Election Day, as seems quite possible, pushing the race to a Jan. 6 runoff that could decide control of the Senate. But Democrats face their own economic headwinds, and

that’s also on display in Georgia. Nunn rarely mentions her party affiliation and regularly chides Obama over not building the Keystone pipeline and having lousy relationships with corporate America. Perdue ads constantly conflate her with the president. And Obama hasn’t made things easier for her or other vulnerable Democrats, first with his comment about how his policies were definitely on the ballot and then his remark that while red state Democrats don’t want to be seen with him, they will continue to vote with him. GOP operatives rejoiced at both Obama statements, viewing them as perfectly packaged attack ad sound bites. In North Carolina, Hagan supporters have unleashed tens of millions of dollars in ads roasting state House Speaker Thom Tillis, the GOP nominee, for not supporting a minimum wage hike, “equal pay” laws for women or abortion rights. The Democratic incumbent has clung to a narrow lead in recent polls, though Republicans believe the race is breaking Tillis’ way as the election nears. Hagan has also tried to hit Tillis as an “outsourcer,” looking to tap into some of the momentum Nunn gained in Georgia. But it has proved less effective because she cannot point to specific companies where Tillis engaged in the practice. In an interview in Charlotte, Hagan cited as examples of Tillis’ support of “outsourcing” that he would “not support some of the tax incentives that we want to bring more advanced manufacturing back into this country” and that he “now disagrees with the Export-Import Bank.” None of that seemed to resonate much with undecided voters interviewed for this story who almost uniformly said they could not overcome their distaste for what they described as Hagan’s close ties with the president. But it’s not as though these voters expressed great enthusiasm for Tillis either or felt he had a deeply compelling message on the economy and jobs. At a recent event in Greensboro, Tillis spent the first 10 minutes ripping Hagan over her Ebola response, her husband allegedly benefiting from the 2009 stimulus bill and other issues . Toward the end, Tillis switched to a perfunctory segment on “the future” and “the optimism.” In an interview, Tillis rejected the idea that he was not giving voters enough of a positive message on the economy, noting that he speaks often about building Keystone, doing more offshore drilling and reducing regulatory burdens on small business. “We’ve got to do regulatory reform and get rid of some of these big obstructions going back to Sarbanes-Oxley all the way through Dodd-Frank,” he said. It remains unclear whether changing the 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley accounting law will warm the hearts of undecided voters. What won’t do it, according to Jeff Bolyard, a 39-year-old labor contractor in Charlotte, is more of the constant attacks both candidates are launching at each other. “Kay Hagan’s been there, she’s had six years and things really aren’t any better,” Bolyard said this past Sunday while eating lunch and watching the Carolina Panthers game. “But I’m not hearing anything I really like from Tillis either. I wish there was somebody else.” That desire for “somebody else” is percolating across the national political landscape in ways that threaten both parties and portend a volatile reorientation heading into the 2016 presidential race. A recent POLITICO poll found that 64 percent think the nation is “out of control” and just 36 percent think the country is in a “good position to meet its economic and national security challenges.” Those are the kind of percentages that can blow up political conventional wisdom and lead to plausible outcomes next month including Democrats winning the governorship in Kansas and Republicans winning in Connecticut. Incumbent governors are at risk across the nation, meaning the outcome on Election Day could suggest that voters are disgusted with anyone in power and hungry for real, concrete plans to bolster the economy. That will have enormous repercussions for 2016 when Republicans will be defending a much larger field of competitive Senate races and trying to block Hillary Clinton from winning the White House, assuming she runs. Clinton herself has faced significant challenges convincing people that her freshly made millions from the book writing and speech making circuit and her close to Wall Street don’t leave her out of touch with struggling middle- and lower middle-class Americans. Clinton however will likely — though not certainly — have the advantage of not getting beaten up over her wealth in a bruising primary. Republicans, on the other hand, have largely failed so far to trim down the size of their field or otherwise take steps to limit the kind of pre-general election damage inflicted on Romney in 2012. The restive nature of the electorate is ripe for a candidate like Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky who breaks with GOP orthodoxy on economic issues and tries to connect with previously unfriendly audiences. But Paul will be one of possibly a dozen or more Republicans vying for the nomination. And whoever gets it will eventually have to convince people like Richard McAllister, a 71-year old retired Boeing technician from Peachtree City, Georgia, who was struggling over coffee at the local Starbucks over whether to vote for Nunn, his first preference, or Perdue, because of his business background. “I really just want to know who is going to be able to bring the real jobs, the ones that can support a family, put the kids through school,” McAllister said. “And right now all I see are two people yelling at each other and making all kinds of claims and really I just don’t know what to think.”

By Mark Auerbach
The African Experience Two upcoming events showcase the African experience and artists working in efforts to earmark philanthropy for the African people.
‘In Darfur’ WAM (Women’s Action Movement) Theatre presents the New England Premiere of ”In Darfur”, Winter Miller’s provocative tale of three lives that intersect in the most challenging of circumstances: a camp for internally displaced persons. (October 30-November 16). “In Darfur”, directed by WAM’s Kristen van Ginhoven, follows an aid worker’s mission to protect lives, a Kristen Darfuri woman’s quest for safety and a Van Ginhoven, journalist’s pursuit to deliver a front-page story to call attention to a humanitarian WAM Director crisis. Relevant and poignant, ”In Darfur” is a journey of courage and humanity in the face of peril. “In Darfur” features scenic design by Juliana von Haubrich, costume design by Govane Lobhauer, sound and projection design by Brad Berridge, and lighting design by Natalie Robin. Winter Miller, a Smith College graduate, is the award-winning playwright and founding member of the Obierecognized collective 13 Playwrights. Miller was inspired to write “In Darfur” by what she witnessed as New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof’s researcher at the start of the Darfuri genocide in 2004. She traveled with Kristof to villages and refugee camps along the Chad/Sudan border Winter Miller, “in after winning the 2006 “Two-Headed Darfur” playwright. Challenge” commission from the

Guthrie Theater and the Playwrights’ Center. ”In Darfur” premiered at The Public Theater in Manhattan for a sold-out run; a subsequent staged reading in the Public’s 1800-seat Delacorte Theater in Central Park – a first for a play by a woman – drew a standing-room-only crowd. Oskar Eustis, Artistic Director of The Public, has called “In Darfur” “A theatrical offering that is also a call to arms.” “This year”, said van Ginhoven, “all signs have been telling me to choose ”In Darfur” as our fall production. I have loved this play for four years, since I met Winter and she sent it to me. It takes on serious issues that are extremely relevant given the turmoil in the world today, and, in Winter’s unique style, injects the humor that is so necessary for survival. Some might hesitate to attend a play that has genocide as its backdrop, but I’ve found that our audiences are intelligent, caring, and involved. We look forward to taking this dramatic journey with them.” In keeping with WAM Theatre’s double philanthropic mission, 25 percent of the box office proceeds from this production of ”In Darfur” will be donated to the Mother of Peace orphanage in Ilovo, South Africa, where 13 women have dedicated their lives to raising children who have lost their families. WAM Theatre’s “In Darfur” performs on the Shakespeare and Company campus in Lenox, MA. For tickets: 413-6373353 or www.shakespeare.org.

Rawk Report: The King Lives!
Theatre
By Mike Augusti Correspondent WORCESTER – I know what you’re thinking and no not that King… but it is King Diamond, the mighty metal madman originally from Denmark now making his home in the evil state of Texas. King Diamond, the facepainted devil-worshipping former lead singer of 1980s heavy metal band Mercyful Fate, announced earlier this year that he would be putting together his first US tour in more than a decade… well, the metal world rejoiced. The King and his former band Mercyful Fate have been cited as an influence to a number of modern day bands including megastars Metallica. This show was part of Worcester’s annual Rock and Shock festival which is one part horror movie convention and one part music festival. King Diamond’s return to the area marked the kick-off of the convention. The curtain dropped and the stage setup was amazing. There were actual ten-foothigh cemetery gates in front of the stage that the band played behind. Adding to that were spooky staircases
the scenes by his wife, Kerstin Golen. Ticket Prices: $12 Adults ($10 Students, Seniors, and Military) For reservations, call 413-572-6838 or visit www.westfieldtheatregroup. com One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.
King Diamond on each side of the stage that led to the King’s alter above the drum riser… appropriately adorned with a giant pentagram lit in red lighting. Two giant upside down crosses, the occasional gargoyle head and blood splatters made the stage complete. King opened the show with The Candle, off of his first solo release Fatal Portrait, which set the tone on this night. Sleepless Nights followed and then the first surprise of the night was grandma’s appearance for the song Welcome Home. King Diamond’s version of grand-
ma is just what you would expect… rolling on to the stage in a wooden wheel chair, this was possibly the creepiest looking grandma I have ever seen. Cool stage prop though, as the grandma character has appeared in a number of his songs. The rest of the set included songs from almost all of his solo releases and a couple of surprises in the form of two songs from his former band Mercyful Fate. Evil and Come to the Sabbath were chosen from the vast catalog of Mercyful Fate songs and those choices did not disap-

point the packed crowd at The Palladium in Worcester. Also to note, I purchased the Mercyful Fate record Melissa when it came out in 1983 which included the song Evil on it. It was an added bonus for me to hear that song live for the very first time. King Diamond closed out the night’s set with a rather obscure song, Eye of the Witch. Thankfully this was just the set ending and the King came back onstage for a three song encore that included Cremation, The Family Ghost and Black Horsemen. Handpicked by the King to open the show were Jess and The Ancient Ones. With an almost hour-long set, fans were growing a little restless waiting for the headliner. The band had a good sound to them, maybe overdoing it with the devil references, but overall not a bad opener.

Rams slog through blowout By Chris Putz Staff Writer SPRINGFIELD – Good things come to those who wait, or so the saying goes. On Wednesday, it took the Southwick boys’ soccer team nearly 35 minutes to score its first goal on the road against Commerce. From there, the Rams poured it on en route to a 7-0 blowout victory. Jon Collins scored an unassisted goal in the 35th minute to get Southwick off slippery footing on a rain-soaked afternoon. Three minutes later, Evan Haynes made it 2-0. Bailey Emerson assisted on the play. Emerson soon took matters into his own hands, or rather, feet, scoring goals in the 57th and 67th minutes to make it 4-0. Jon Collins and Riley O’Connor each earned an assist, respectively. In the 69th minute, Declan O’Donnell took a pass from Emerson, and hammered home Southwick’s fifth goal. Brandon Castor notched two goals in the closing minutes, the first of which was set up by a pass from Matt Lecrenski. Southwick goalie Nick Chambers turned away all four Commerce shots on net.
Bombers storm back Westfield 2, Northampton 2 Westfield rallied for a sensational tie on the road Wednesday night. Matt Butera scored the game-tying goal with two min-
utes remaining in regulation. Dante White set up Butera on the play. Mike Visconti scored the first Westfield goal. Ryan Prencil assisted.

(Submitted photo) including 10 wins on the Candlepin Bowling show, with a three-string series high score of 392 and a triple strike. Johnson also performed on another TV show, Big Shot Bowling. His candlepin statistics include a high single of 197, high triple of 492, high five of 782 and a high seasonal average of 129. He also boasts a 1458 high ten string total. which was bowled Nov. 29, 1980
and was the record at the time. Fifty-six years after that first game at age 14, Johnson still bowls in a mixed men’s and women’s league at Agawam Bowl three nights a week. Johnson said the popularity of bowling has declined over the years, mainly because a league is a 33-week commitment, and young people are not introduced to the sport. “There used to be bowling leagues for kids, but with the Internet and so many other options, kids just aren’t bowling anymore,” he said. Johnson and his wife Bernadette have two sons, Darren and Kevin, who were both intro-
duced to bowling. Kevin enjoyed the sport and bowled with Johnson into adulthood. Johnson said families don’t do that as much today, and the 60’s through 80’s were bowling’s prime years. Johnson recalled several other local bowling greats, such as Jim Orlandi, and noted that bowling was a big part of life in Westfield when he was growing up. And it is still part of his life. “I still enjoy it and I want to keep the sport alive,” he said. Johnson received a plaque and pin at the induction ceremony, which he will proudly display.

By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – When Jim Johnson was 14, a friend introduced him to bowling, and his life changed. The Southwick resident who grew up in Westfield quickly discovered he had a knack for candlepin bowling and spent his time after school hanging around the Bowling Center and Community Lanes, hoping one of the league teams would need a sub and he could play for free. The oldest of eight children, Johnson said money was tight and although his father would give him money to play, he tried to get in the leagues to play for free. “It was my second home,” Johnson said. Johnson said he’s not sure why he clicked with bowling. “It was just something I connected with,” he said. “I was an average baseball player and an average basketball player – I wasn’t an allstar – but I could bowl. I had a talent, I kept at it, and I practiced.” After high school, Johnson was drafted to the U.S. Army and spent two years serving his country. He continued to bowl over the years. His skills improved and he made his first television appearance on the Boston-based bowling show Candlepin Bowling with Don Gilis at age 25. It was the first of 15 such appearances, which contributed to Johnson’s induction into the International Candlepin Bowling Association’s Hall of Fame last weekend. Johnson was honored during a ceremony in Haverhill Oct. 18 and was among nine inductees. His talent was touted during the event,

By Neil Simon Runs October 24-26, 2014 WESTHAMPTON, Mass. — Next week, the HRHS Drama Company presents Neil Simon’s classic comedy Fools. The story is set in the late 19th century, in the fictional Russian village of Kulyenchikov, which has been cursed with stupidity for the last two hundred years. Leon Tolchinsky, a schoolteacher, arrives in town to break the curse by educating the townspeople. When he starts to develop feelings for the beautiful young Sophia, he becomes in danger of being claimed by the curse as well. The play is produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. The show will be directed by Drama Company advisor Michael Braidman, who also teaches high school English classes at the school. The cast and crew include over 30 members of the student body at Hampshire Regional, representing all grades. Following the Saturday evening performance, the Company will be hosting a Talk Back, a question and answer period featuring a panel of the creative team and student actors. THE CREATIVE TEAM Michael Braidman (Director) has been teaching English at HRHS since 2003, and running the Drama Company since 2006. He was an active participant in his own high school’s drama company, as well as the Theatre Department at UMass Amherst, where he earned a BA in English and his teaching certification. As Advisor to the Company, Braidman directs one production a year, oversees all other productions, and coaches Improvers Anonymous, the improvisational comedy troupe. Joe Larkin (Technical Direction; Lighting, Sound and Scenic Design) caught the theater bug in high school, and studied Theater Design with Jim Franklin at the University of Connecticut. He has been involved in more than 30 productions, serving in various roles including actor, carpenter, director, electrician, master electrician, fly operator, lighting designer, puppet maker, set designer, stage manager, technical director and writer.

About Edward Taylor Edward Taylor -- who was born in England in 1642 and died in Westfield, Mass, in 1729 -was the finest poet writing in America in the 17th and 18th centuries. Taylor’s connections to Westfield are strong: He was the first minister of the Congregational Church in Westfield, arriving there after graduating from Harvard in 1671. He served Westfield as pastor, advocate for the town, and physician. Taylor’s fame today, however, rests on a remarkable body of devotional literature written over a period of 43 years. His work was first published in book form in 1939. Symposium Schedule The complete schedule for the October 25 symposium at Smith follows: 10 a.m. -- Francis Murphy, professor emeritus of English at Smith College, will talk about “Edward Taylor: His Religion and His Art” 11 a.m. -- Joshua W. Lane, curator of furniture at Winterthur Museum in Delaware, will look at the inventory of Taylor’s estate in a lecture on “Edward Taylor’s Worldly Goods” 1 p.m. -- Kevin Sweeney, professor of history and American studies at Amherst College, will discuss “Everyday Life in Westfield and Northampton in the Late 1600s and 1700s” 2 p.m. -- Martin Antonetti, curator of rare books in the Smith College Mortimer Rare Book Room and director of Smith’s Book Studies Concentration, will discuss “Edward Taylor’s Library”

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Do you think he really wants me? Dear Annie: I have been married to my husband for six years. A few months after the wedding, I found out he was cheating on me. I saw his cellphone while he was sleeping and noticed the messages and phone calls. He had been meeting girls from dating sites, talking to them and exchanging photographs. He also wouldn’t come home till 3 or 4 a.m. I called one of the girls and told her I am his wife and she should stop talking to him. That’s when she told me she was pregnant with his child. I confronted my husband, who said the woman was lying. He also apologized and promised to stop cheating. Several weeks later, he was again out until after midnight. He texted that he was coming home, but I tripped and hurt my ankle. I called several times and left messages, but it took an hour until he texted that he was on his way. We have tried to work things out, but I feel that he doesn’t want me anymore, or that he only wants me for a place to live and money in the bank. When he touches me, it doesn’t feel genuine. I recently found out that he has been on dating sites again, possibly meeting up with these women when he claims to be out fishing. When I asked him about it, he said, “I haven’t done anything. I just ask for photographs to see how far they will go.” Do you think he really wants me? Should I keep trying to work it out with him? I am scared that he is just going to keep hurting me. -- Alabama Dear Alabama: We can guarantee he will keep hurting you, because he doesn’t see that he’s doing anything wrong and has no interest in changing his behavior, no matter how much it upsets you. Please get some counseling on your own to decide what you are willing to tolerate and to determine your next step. Dear Annie I was disappointed in your response to “To Tip or Not To Tip,” saying that wedding DJs and photographers who own their own businesses don’t expect to be tipped. That is not true. I am married to a man who has been a DJ for 40 years. He has many extra expenses. A week before the wedding, they make sure all the music is in order, and they do a lot of recording and cover the expenses associated with that. They arrive at least an hour before the wedding to get everything set up and run the whole wedding reception to keep things on time. The guests probably won’t remember your decorations or the food, but if they don’t like the DJ, they will go home. When you tip your DJ, it tells him he did a good job and you are pleased with his work. It’s no different from tipping a beautician who owns her own shop. She still expects a tip. -- Omaha DJ’s Wife Dear Omaha: We understand that you want to support your husband, but those who own their businesses (including beauticians) should not expect tips when performing services. The fact that some people choose to tip anyway is fine and undoubtedly appreciated, but it is not required. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Frustrated in North Carolina,” whose mother-in-law doesn’t understand boundaries. When my brother married decades ago, they lived not far from our parents. Every now and then, our parents would stop by unannounced and just walk in. One day they found the young couple was not, shall we say, dressed for company. It was the last time our parents ever did that. -- Always Some Humor Somewhere Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
HINTS FROM HELOISE A Sign of the Sale Dear Heloise: I always feel sorry for the people who put up garage- or estate-sale SIGNS that are unreadable from passing cars. Here are some hints: * Never use a yellow marker on white poster board. It may look cheery, but it looks like a pale mist as you drive by. * Use a light-colored board and black, dark blue, red or green for the lettering. * Make the letters at least 1/2 inch wide and at least 2 inches high. * Keep information at a minimum. For instance, first line stating “GARAGE SALE,” second line “(ADDRESS),” third line “(TIME).” * Draw an arrow pointing in the right direction, if space allows. * Finally, drive by your sign at 30 mph to see if you can read it. -- Sandy S., via email This is what I call a “test drive-by” so you can see what a potential customer can or cannot see! Final hint from Heloise: Take down the signs when the sale is over! -- Heloise

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Oct. 23, 2014: This year might be far more exciting than you anticipate. Your popularity soars and points to many new options, both socially and professionally. You seem to have everything mostly under control. You might want to stay open to different work opportunities. If you are single, a potential suitor could reveal his or her controlling ways. Do not engage in a power play. If you are attached, be willing to juggle different responsibilities and remain sensitive to your sweetie. Try not to be too me-oriented. SCORPIO can keep a secret, no matter what. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You sense a difference from the past few days. You are focused and intense, and you know what you want. Greet today’s Solar Eclipse without rigidity. You will be a lot happier as a result. A partner or associate can’t seem to get enough of you. Tonight: Try a different suggestion. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Your ability to flex will be tested in the next few weeks. As you go through this period, many of you might be asked to break your usual patterns. Be gracious and give it shot. You’ll see how a newfound easiness could help you. Tonight: Respond to someone’s offer. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You might be overwhelmed by everything you have to accomplish. You could start acting like a chicken with its head cut off. Sometimes, you simply can’t get through all your to-dos -- not because of you, but because of unexpected requests. Tonight: Know when to call it a night. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You’ll benefit from the intensity of today’s Solar Eclipse. You could see a personal situation much differently from how you normally do. It would be smart not to continue as you have, and not to make any big announcements today. Tonight: Add some spice to a relationship. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Stay anchored, and try not to allow a loved one’s uproar to get the best of you. You might have been considering a change on the homefront, and today’s events might point to taking action. Play the waiting game for now; you won’t want to act just yet. Tonight: Mosey on home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You’ll be sure of yourself when presenting an issue or describing what you feel. However, in a week or so, you could have a totally different outlook. Take your time when making an important decision, and let go of thinking about this issue today. Tonight: Hang out. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Note what is going on with your finances, and also be aware of the costs of any commitments you might make right now. Do some price comparisons, and shop around. Know what you expect from a loved one. Tonight: Try not to overindulge. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Be spontaneous when pursuing your own ideas. However, try not to do anything overly offensive to a loved one, or you could have quite a situation to deal with. A new beginning is possible for you, especially if you express your caring. Tonight: Just be yourself. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HH You might feel unusually drained, or perhaps you’re making too much out of a comment or suggestion. You often inspire others with your ideas. Today, allow someone close to give you some feedback. Tonight: Vanish while you can. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You might feel as if you can’t turn a situation around, no matter what you do. Perhaps taking a step back might be the best move. Others will bring you an offer in the near future that you can’t say seem to say “no” to. Tonight: A friend might play a strong role in your plans. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You could be a lot happier than you realize about a change with work or with a different situation where you take the lead. Recognize when you have had enough. Know that you don’t need to make an immediate decision about someone new. Tonight: A must appearance. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Cryptoquip
Crosswords
HHHHH You might be stunned by what you hear, and also by what comes out. Do not make this information out to be bigger than it really is. You might feel like you have some assessing and thinking to do. Worry less, and go with the flow. Tonight: Let someone entertain you.

THE WESTFIELD NEWS
Broncos have bad memory of Chargers By BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer The Denver Broncos fear no one in the AFC, nor should they given their recent record. There is one opponent that gets Peyton Manning and company a bit unsettled, though, and that’s who they take on Thursday night when the San Diego Chargers come visiting. San Diego has won four of its past five regular-season trips to Denver and has kept Manning’s offense under 21 points in three straight meetings. “The Chargers just flat outplayed us,” Manning said. “It’s a reminder that there aren’t many secrets: If you go out and don’t execute and make mistakes and have self-inflicted wounds, it’s going to be tough to beat any team, much less a good football team like the Chargers.” Denver did beat the Chargers in the postseason last winter. Again, it was a tight game. But the Chargers come off a mediocre performance. They had won five in a row before they struggled defensively last Sunday in a loss to Kansas City, which rushed for 154 yards, the most allowed by the Chargers this season. “Our last game was not our best performance,” defensive coordinator John Pagano said. “We’ve got to go out and communicate and play the call.” Denver (No. 1 in AP Pro32) is a 7½-point favorite over No. 7 San Diego in the key AFC West matchup. The Broncos are just too much in synch for the Chargers right now. BRONCOS, 30-20 No. 27 Washington (plus 9) at No. 2 Dallas, Monday night It’s not that we’re jumping on Cowboys’ bandwagon, but ... BEST BET: COWBOYS, 34-17 No. 9 Baltimore (plus 1 1-2) at No. 14
Cincinnati Love how Ravens are playing. Hate how Bengals are playing. UPSET SPECIAL: RAVENS, 23-16 No. 3 Philadelphia (plus 2 1-2) at No. 5 Arizona Winner here must be considered a title contender. Great coaching matchup. EAGLES, 23-21 No. 10 Detroit (minus 4) vs. No. 25 (tie) Atlanta at London Last thing Falcons need this season is to give up a home game. LIONS, 23-10 No. 19 Chicago (plus 6) at No. 8 New England Bears need to get away from Soldier Field. But Foxborough isn’t best place to get things right. PATRIOTS, 24-20 No. 24 St. Louis (plus 6 1-2) at No. 13 Kansas City Winner gets Governor’s Cup. Send it west. CHIEFS, 23-16 No. 12 Seattle (minus 4 1-2) at No. 18 Carolina Still not ready to abandon our faith in defending champions. Getting closer, though. SEAHAWKS, 27-20 No. 6 Green Bay (plus 1 1-2) at No. 21 New Orleans Packers are rolling and are unafraid of road trips. PACKERS, 33-30 No. 4 Indianapolis (minus 3) at No. 17 Pittsburgh Colts are best team east of Denver right now. COLTS, 26-19 No. 16 Buffalo (plus 3) at No. 29 New York Jets No star quarterback for opposing team this week, so ...
JETS, 17-16 No. 32 Oakland (plus 7) at No. 20 Cleveland Browns gagged big time in Jacksonville. Could they really fall to another tailender? BROWNS, 30-20 No. 15 Miami (minus 5 1-2) at No. 30 Jacksonville Jaguars stunned Browns last week, but won’t do same to Dolphins. DOLPHINS, 21-20 No. 22 Houston (minus 1) at No. 28 Tennessee A pair of teams that make too many critical mistakes. Texans make fewer here.
TEXANS, 22-20 No. 25 (tie) Minnesota (plus 3) at No. 31 Tampa Bay Bucs defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier was fired as Vikings head coach last year. Revenge? Nope. VIKINGS, 19-17 2014 RECORD: Against spread: This week (6-9); Season (53-48-3). Straight up: This week (9-6); Season (69-35-1) Best Bet: 5-2 against spread, 6-1 straight up. Upset special: 6-1 against spread, 4-3 straight up.
