Thanksgiving display at Cloot’s Auto Body on North Street. (Photo submitted)
Holiday decorations vandalized for fourth time By AMY PORTER Correspondent WESTFIELD – “Disheartening,” was what Gary Cloutier, owner of Cloot’s Auto Body at 825 North Road called the vandalism that destroyed his Thanksgiving decorations. For years, Cloutier and his wife, Liz have been decorating an old Cloot’s Auto Body truck in front of their shop for different holidays, including the 4th of July, Veteran’s Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. This is the fourth time they’ve had the decorations vandalized. For Thanksgiving, they had decorated with blown up Pilgrims, Native Americans, along with a boy and girl of each holding hands, and a turkey on the hood of the truck. Cloutier said they had just purchased the two sets of children that week. The day after Thanksgiving, they went to the shop for paperwork to take home. On their way out of the shop, they saw that the decorations had fallen over. Cloutier said sometimes leaves get clogged in the blowers when it’s windy, so he went to clear the leaves and blow them up, holding them up by their heads. When they didn’t take in any air, he looked at them more closely. He saw a foot long slice right through the one he was attempting to inflate. “All of them have cuts in them, from a foot to 18 inches,” he said. They checked the video from cameras on the display, and realized it had been vandalized twice – once the night before Thanksgiving, and then the following night. He said the first night, two kids got out of a car. The second night, a different car stopped and the passengers got out. He said they were “clearly not children,” he thought maybe in their late teens or early twenties. He said the video is grainy, and too far away for identification, although he plans to turn it over to police. Cloutier went to a business next door that puts in security systems, who advised him on better cameras to buy. He hopes the two new cameras will be clearer. “You try to do something nice,” Cloutier said, adding that people are always saying to him, we just want to let you know we love the way you decorate your truck, always something different. He said for somebody to just trash something so they can laugh about it is disheartening. “It kills you to spend that kind of money, and take your time.” Cloutier said he lost $600 on this display, and probably $1,000 over the years to vandalism. “My wife said ‘that’s it,” he said. They had previously been looking at some new Christmas decorations to put out, but were now thinking, why bother? “On the flip side, people are saying please don’t stop, my kids love it. Some have said they purposely take 202 to drive by your shop to see what you’ve decorated,” Cloutier said. The decorations were sliced 12-18 inches. (Photo submitted)

City Council to set tax shift Thursday By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—The tax shift for taxpayers in Westfield is expected to be determined Thursday evening at City Hall. The Westfield City Council will be holding a special meeting Thursday to determine the FY 2018 tax shift for taxpayers in the city and also vote on approving $1.5 million in free cash funds to be used toward reducing the city’s budget. The tax shift is voted on annually by the City Council, based on the budget and other information provided by the Mayor. “It’s the percentage that the commercial will pay versus residential,” Robin Johnson, Auditor for Westfield, said about the tax shift. “The vote that the council makes, I supply all the tools to set the rate, and then it is up to them to set the split as residential against commercial,” Sullivan said. This past year, Johnson said that
the tax shift was set at 1.66. This meant that those paying commercial taxes paid 66 percent more than those paying residential in Westfield. The tax rates for last year were $19.42 per $1,000, while the commercial and industrial was $37.08 per $1,000. Johnson said that in recent history the city has chosen to set the tax shift between 1.63 and 1.67. And while there is no maximum that can be placed on the residential tax shift, Johnson said that the maximum tax shift that is allowed on commercial is 75 percent. According to City Council President and At-Large Councilor Brent Bean, II, the council must get the tax shift in place soon, in time for upcoming tax bills. “We need to get that finalized before the Dec. 7 council meeting so they can get the bills out,” he said. The bills reflected will be ones that go out Jan. 1, which is actually the start of the third quarter of FY
2017. “The way we raise the money, we actually live six months through the budget,” Bean said. The tax shift, according to Bean, will need just a majority vote for it to pass, once a number is determined. In addition to the tax shift, Sullivan has proposed $1.5 million be used from free cash funds in order to reduce the city’s budget. Bean said that this specific item was the more pressing need of the council. According to Sullivan, this reduction could help lower taxes for residents. “My estimate is they leave the shift as it was last year, which is totally up to them, not a recommendation, just using last year’s shift, taxes would decrease around 20 cents per thousand,” Sullivan said. Johnson said that based on the existing 1.66 tax shift and the $1.5 million reduction, would reduce residential rates to $19.27 per $1,000 and commercial $36.96 per $1,000.
Southwick Civic Fund hosting 6th Annual Toy Drive By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent SOUTHWICK – The Southwick Civic Fund is set to host the 6th Annual Secret Santa and the Angry Elves Toy Drive. Moolicious Ice Cream has organized the toy drive for the past five years and in 2016 the Southwick Civic Fund was created by Moolicious owner Joe Deedy. The non-profit organization has been supporting events that are community oriented in the towns of Southwick, Granville, and Tolland. Currently, the organization is accepting donations of toys from anyone in the local area which will go to children in the community who are in need of a present this Christmas. Anyone that wants to donate toys can do so by dropping them off at the drop box that is located right outside the entrance of Moolicious on 258 Feeding Hills Rd. Donations are being accepted until December 17. After that, volunteers will be delivering the toys to the homes that applied for the toy drive. In order to apply to receive toys, visit the Southwick Civic Fund website and click on the Secret Santa application. In the application, it notes that filling out the application doesn’t guarantee that every family that applies will get toys. On the application, it states, “We truly are looking for
The Secret Santa Toy Drive in 2014. (WNG File Photo) families in need. We will be verifying all documents received and you will receive a letter in the mail with the final decision, and if applicable, details on the toy delivery.” According to Deedy, he and his volunteers have delivered around 200 toys per year to children during Christmas time. While it’s been a great experience for Deedy the last five years and working with the rest of the Southwick Civic Fund, he credits the community for their willingness to donate toys in time of need. “We’re just a mechanism to make it happen,” said Deedy. Deedy also added that people can also apply for toys by picking up an application at the Our Community Food Pantry which is located at 220 College Hwy in Southwick.
UMass plans mass meningitis vaccination program AMHERST, Mass. (AP) — The University of Massachusetts has scheduled a mass meningitis vaccination program at its Amherst campus after federal health officials determined that two recent cases of the disease at the school should be considered an outbreak. UMass is recommending that all undergraduates as well as graduate students living in undergraduate housing get vaccinated at one of four clinics planned for the next week. More
than 1,400 students have already been vaccinated. One student was diagnosed with a variant of the disease on Oct. 24, and a second was diagnosed earlier this month. Both are recovering. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention determined that because the two cases originated from a single strain of genetically identical organisms it should be considered an outbreak.

LOCAL LOTTERY
SAN DIEGO (AP) — A Southern California man charged with stealing a $300,000 Ferrari was arrested after reportedly asking for gas money. Santa Ana police arrested Israel Perez Rangel on Nov. 1. He’s pleaded not guilty to car theft. Authorities say the 458 Spider was brought into a Costa Mesa service center but stolen in October after a worker left the key on a passenger seat. Security video showed a man in a Ferrari jacket walking onto the lot and taking it. Two weeks later, it showed up trashed at a Santa Ana Mobil station where Rangel was asking for gas money. He fled but was found in some bushes. The Los Angeles Times says insurers paid the owner, Susan Friedman of Laguna Beach. She used the money to buy a 2018 Lamborghini Huracan.

Mass. man gets probation for charity scam WOBURN, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts man who collected about $76,000 in donations for fake charities that he claimed helped child cancer patients, injured veterans and firefighters has avoided jail. Prosecutors say 26-yearold Zachary Noonan was sentenced Tuesday to three years' probation and ordered to pay restitution and seek mental health treatment. Authorities say Noonan once worked for an advertising company that solicited funds for nonprofits. After his employment ended, he continued soliciting money for fake charities that in many cases had names similar to legitimate charities. Prosecutors say Noonan kept most of the money for his own use and no funds were ever used for their intended purpose. The scam was uncovered in February when a person who made a $100 donation to a charity found there was no such organization and contacted police.
Trial to begin for suspect in football star's shooting death WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) — Trial will soon begin for a man suspected in the shooting death of a former Worcester high school football star. The Telegram & Gazette reports testimony will start Monday for the trial of 20-year-old Emil Encarnacion, of Worcester. Encarnacion has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the death of 18-year-old Samuel Castro. Castro was killed in Worcester in May 2015. He was a former student athlete at North High School. Police have not released a motive for the shooting. Encarnacion is one of four people charged in connection with Castro's death. One defendant pleaded guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon and was sentenced to time served. Another defendant pleaded guilty to a reduced manslaughter charge. The fourth defendant is scheduled for trial in April.

Trump retweets videos purporting to show violence by Muslims By CATHERINE LUCEY and JILL LAWLESS Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump retweeted a series of inflammatory videos Wednesday purporting to show violence being committed by Muslims. Trump retweeted them from Jayda Fransen, the deputy leader of the far-right group Britain First, a small fringe group whose profile was elevated by Trump's attention. The group's tweets read: "VIDEO: Islamist mob pushes teenage boy off roof and beats him to death!" and "VIDEO: Muslim Destroys a Statue of Virgin Mary!" and "VIDEO: Muslim migrant beats up Dutch boy on crutches!" The origins of the videos could not immediately be determined. Britain First is a far-right group that opposes multiculturalism and what it calls the "Islamization" of Britain. It has run candidates in local and national elections, with little success, and has campaigned against the construction and expansion of mosques. Trump did not offer any explanation for why he retweeted the videos, and the White House did not immediately respond to request for comment. The retweets came amid a flurry of early morning Trump posts. It's not the first time Trump has retweeted inflammatory content or posts from controversial Twitter accounts. He has shared messages from accounts that appeared to have ties to white nationalist groups. He has retweeted a conservative Trump supporter who used social media to draw attention to "pizzagate," an unfounded conspiracy theory that claims Democrats harbor child sex slaves at a pizza restaurant. He has also retweeted doctored videos, including one that appeared to show him hitting Hillary Clinton with a golf ball. Throughout his presidential campaign, Trump offered antiMuslim commentary, saying he would "strongly consider" closing mosques and insisting that "Islam hates us." As president he has sought to ban travel from majority-Muslim countries. He said earlier this year that "we have to stop radical Islamic terrorism." After Trump retweeted the videos, Fransen quickly responded on Twitter, saying: "DONALD TRUMP HIMSELF HAS RETWEETED THESE VIDEOS AND HAS AROUND 44 MILLION FOLLOWERS! GOD BLESS YOU TRUMP! GOD BLESS AMERICA!" Fransen has been charged with causing religiously aggravated harassment over leaflets and videos that were distributed during a criminal trial earlier this year. She has separately been charged with using "threatening, abusive or insulting words or behavior" over a speech she made in Northern Ireland in August. She is currently on bail. She was convicted last year of religiously aggravated harassment and fined after hurling abuse at a Muslim woman wearing a hijab. Trump's retweets were condemned by Brendan Cox, whose lawmaker wife Jo Cox was murdered last year by an attacker with far-right views. Cox tweeted: "Trump has legitimised the far right in his own country, now he's trying to do it in ours. Spreading hatred has consequences & the President should be ashamed of himself." Trump's tweets were also condemned by TV host Piers Morgan, who tweeted: "Good morning, Mr President @realDonaldTrump - what the hell are you doing retweeting a bunch of unverified videos by Britain First, a bunch of disgustingly racist far-right extremists? Please STOP this madness & undo your retweets."

NKorea launches ICBM in possibly its longest-range test yet By MATTHEW PENNINGTON and TONG-HYUNG KIM Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — North Korea abruptly ended a 10-week pause in its weapons testing Tuesday by launching what the Pentagon said was an intercontinental ballistic missile — apparently its longest-range test yet — a move that will escalate already high tensions with Washington. Pentagon spokesman Col. Rob Manning said the missile was launched from Sain Ni, North Korea, and traveled about 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) before landing in the Sea of Japan within 370 nautical kilometers (200 nautical miles) of Japan's coast. It flew for 53 minutes, Japan's defense minister said. South Korea, a key U.S. ally separated from the North by a highly militarized border, responded with shorter-range missile tests of its own to mimic striking the North Korea launch site, which it said lies not far from the North Korean capital. The launch, in the wee hours Wednesday in Asia, is North Korea's first since it fired an intermediate-range missile over Japan on Sept. 15, and it appeared to shatter chances that the hiatus could lead to renewed diplomacy over the reclusive country's nuclear program. U.S. officials have sporadically floated the idea of direct talks with North Korea if it maintained restraint. An intercontinental ballistic missile test is considered particularly provocative, and indications it flew higher than past launches suggest progress by Pyongyang in developing a weapon of mass destruction that could strike the U.S. mainland. President Donald Trump has vowed to prevent North Korea from having that capability — using military force if necessary. In response to the launch, Trump said the United States will "take care of it." He told reporters: "It is a situation that we will handle." He did not elaborate. The U.N. Security Council scheduled an emergency meeting for Wednesday afternoon at the request of Japan, the U.S. and South Korea. Manning said the North American Aerospace Defense Command, known as NORAD, "determined the missile launch from North Korea did not pose a threat to North America, our territories or our allies." Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said the missile flew higher than previous projectiles. "It went higher, frankly, than any previous shot they've taken," he told reporters at the White House. "It's a research and development effort on their part to continue building ballistic missiles that can threaten everywhere in the world." If flown on a standard trajectory rather than at a lofted angle, the missile would have a range of more than 13,000 kilometers (8,100 miles), said U.S. scientist David Wright, a
physicist who closely tracks North Korea's missile and nuclear programs. "Such a missile would have more than enough range to reach Washington, D.C., and in fact any part of the continental United States," Wright wrote in a blog post for the Union for Concerned Scientists. A big unknown, however, is the missile's payload. If, as expected, it carried a light mock warhead, then its effective range would have been shorter, analysts said. A week ago, the Trump administration declared North Korea a state sponsor of terrorism, further straining ties between governments that are still technically at war. Washington also imposed new sanctions on North Korean shipping firms and Chinese trading companies dealing with the North. North Korea called the terror designation a "serious provocation" that justifies its development of nuclear weapons. In response to the North Korean test, Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff said South Korea conducted a "precision-strike" drill, firing three missiles, including one with a 1,000-kilometer (620-mile) range, to accurately hit a target that stood for the North Korean launch site. South Korea's presidential office said it was holding a National Security Council meeting Wednesday morning local time to discuss the launch. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Japan will not back down against any provocation and would maximize pressure on the North in its strong alliance with the U.S. "We will not tolerate North Korea's reckless action," he told reporters. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said in a statement that North Korea was "indiscriminately threatening its neighbors, the region and global stability." He urged the international community to not only implement existing U.N. sanctions on North Korea but also to consider additional measures for interdicting maritime traffic transporting goods to and from the country. Trump has ramped up economic and diplomatic pressure on the North to prevent its development of a nuclear-tipped missile that could strike the U.S. mainland. So far, the pressure has failed to get North Korea's totalitarian government, which views a nuclear arsenal as key to its survival, to return to longstalled international negotiations on its nuclear program. "Diplomatic options remain viable and open, for now," Tillerson said, adding the U.S. remains committed to "finding a peaceful path to denuclearization and to ending belligerent actions by North Korea." —— Kim reported from Seoul, South Korea.

NBC News fires ‘Today’ host Matt Lauer over inappropriate sexual behavior By DAVID BAUDER AP Media Writer NEW YORK (AP) — NBC News fired longtime "Today" show host Matt Lauer on Wednesday for "inappropriate sexual behavior," making him the second morning television show personality to lose his job because of sexual misconduct charges in a week. Lauer's co-host Savannah Guthrie made the announcement at the top of Wednesday's "Today" show. Last week, CBS News fired Charlie Rose after complaints from several women who worked for him. NBC News Chairman Andrew Lack said the network had received a complaint from a colleague on Monday night, and a review determined it was a clear violation of company standards. While it was the first complaint lodged against Lauer, Lack said in a memo to staff that "we were also presented with reason to believe this may not have been an isolated incident." Lauer, 59, has hosted "Today" for two decades. When paired with Katie Couric, "Today" was the longtime ratings leader and was highly lucrative for NBC. It now runs second in the ratings to ABC's "Good Morning America." Many "Today" show viewers took out their anger for the unsightly 2012 firing of co-host Ann Curry on Lauer, sending the show plunging in the ratings. But NBC stuck with Lauer and the show had steadied with his pairing with Guthrie. The show runs for four hours, with Lauer and Guthrie hosting the first two. He joins a lengthening list of media figures felled by sexual misconduct charges this year. Besides Rose, they include Lauer's former NBC News colleague Mark Halperin, former Fox News prime-time host Bill O'Reilly and National Public Radio newsroom chief Michael Oreskes. The New York Times suspended White House correspondent Glenn Thrush last week. Lack, in his memo, said that "we are deeply saddened by this turn of events. But we will face it together as a news organization — and do it in as transparent a manner as we can." Guthrie co-hosted Wednesday's show with Hoda Kotb, who said both of them were wakened with the news Wednesday morning. Guthrie appeared emotional and appeared to fight back tears as she called Lauer her friend who is beloved by many at NBC, and said she was "heartbroken for my colleague who came forward to tell her story and any other women who have their own stories to tell. "We are grappling with a dilemma that so many people have faced these past few weeks," she said. "How do you reconcile your love for someone with the revelation that they have behaved badly? I don't know the answer to that. But I do know that this reckoning that so many organizations have been going through is important, it's long overdue and it must result in workplaces where all women, all people, feel safe and respected." On Twitter Wednesday, President Donald Trump said "Wow, Matt Lauer was just fired from NBC for 'inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace.' But when will the top executives at NBC & Comcast be fired for putting out so much Fake News."

Senate leader says interns may get training on harassment BOSTON (AP) — Legislative interns at the Massachusetts Statehouse may be offered training and education for avoiding sexual harassment in the workplace. That's according to Democratic Senate President Stan Rosenberg, who provided some additional information Tuesday about two sexual misconduct complaints he was aware of since his tenure began as Senate leader in 2015. One allegation was made against an intern whom Rosenberg says was no longer working for the Senate. He didn't say how the case was resolved or the circumstances under which the intern left. He says the other case involved a staffer who made a complaint against someone he described as a "visitor" to the Statehouse. He offered no other details. Rosenberg says the Senate has a "zero tolerance policy" for sexual harassment and he knew of no complaints against any lawmakers.

College: Employee accidentally shot, injured another worker EASTON, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts college says an employee accidentally discharged a firearm on school grounds, injuring another employee. Stonehill College spokesman Martin McGovern said Tuesday the shooting happened Oct. 11 in the plumber's shop of the school's Clock Farm. The employee has been terminated. The Easton college initially called the shooting a "workplace incident" that resulted in a leg injury. The Enterprise newspaper in Brockton later confirmed police responded to a report of a gunshot at the Clock Farm, located near the school's main campus. McGovern says Stonehill had been complying with the Bristol district attorney's office's request not to provide details that could hinder the investigation or prosecution of the case. He says the school should have provided the campus community more details about what had occurred.

KitchenWise Ants in a Tree is a crowd-pleaser By SARA MOULTON Associated Press "Ants in a Tree" is the English translation of the Chinese name for this classic recipe. Built of spicy pork, bean thread noodles (aka cellophane noodles) and scallions, it earned its name because it's not so far-fetched for the finished dish to call that image to mind — the noodles look like tree branches, the scallions like tree leaves and the little bits of ground pork like ants. Admittedly, it's not a very appetizing image, but the dish itself happens to be a crowd-pleaser. Indeed, it's a refreshing break from the usual holiday fare. Cellophane noodles can be tough to find in your supermarket, which is why I've listed capellini (very thin strands of pasta). If you're not a fan of pork, you're welcome to swap in beef, turkey, or chicken. And if you can't source Asian chile paste (made of chiles mixed with oil or vinegar and salt), use your favorite brand of hot sauce. Of course, if you'd prefer the dish to be mild, leave the hot stuff out of it. SARA MOULTON Make sure you prepare every ingredient before you begin cooking. Many of them cook very quickly and are added to the pan in rapid succession. If at any stage the next round of ingredients isn't ready to go, the ones in the pan will overcook. As a way to help the noodles absorb the myriad flavors of the sauce, par-cook the noodles and finish them in the sauce. If, in the end, you're more in the mood for a bowl of soup than a plate of pasta, add more chicken broth.

(Photo provided by Sara Moulton via AP) In a medium bowl combine well the pork, 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce, the sesame oil, the cornstarch and the 1/2 cup white and light green sliced scallions. In a wok or large skillet heat the oil over high heat until it is almost smoking. Add the ginger, garlic and chile paste; cook, stirring, for 30 seconds or until the mixture smells fragrant. Add the pork, breaking it up, and cook, stirring until most of the pink has disappeared. Stir in the cabbage and the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce and cook, stirring, until the cabbage is slightly wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. When the pot of water has come to a boil, add the pasta, stir, and boil it for 2 minutes. Drain the noodles and add them to the skillet along with the chicken broth. Bring to a boil and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally (the mixture will be soupy at first and then become less saucy as the pasta absorbs the
broth). Divide the pasta and pork evenly among 6 bowls, pouring any liquid over it, and garnish with the scallion greens and toasted sesame seeds. ——— Nutrition information per serving: 428 calories; 236 calories from fat; 26 g fat (7 g saturated; 0 g trans fats); 54 mg cholesterol; 588 mg sodium; 25 g carbohydrate; 2 g fiber; 2 g sugar; 19 g protein. ——— EDITOR'S NOTE: Sara Moulton is host of public television's "Sara's Weeknight Meals."

Architect Wright’s winter home draws fans to desert By ANITA SNOW Associated Press SCOTTSDALE, Arizona (AP) — Each year when the sizzling temperatures finally dipped in the southern Arizona desert, architect Frank Lloyd Wright and a small band of young apprentices would start the annual cross-country migration from Spring Green, Wisconsin, just in time to escape the Midwestern snow. Twenty-six miles northeast of Phoenix, Wright's students built the desert shelters they slept in during the winter term at his School of Architecture, where bobcats, coyotes, and pig-like mammals called javelinas (HAV-ah-lee-nas) wandered outside See FLR Travel, Page 7

Chobani gets new look and hints at going beyond yogurt By JOSEPH PISANI AP Retail Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Chobani, the company that helped kick-start the Greek yogurt craze, is shrinking those words on its label as it may expand beyond that food in an increasingly crowded yogurt market. The new look, which will show up in supermarkets this week, removes "Greek Yogurt" from underneath the Chobani name. The yogurt inside will stay the same. Its packaging will be more muted than the current bright white, use a new font and style, and feature watercolor paintings of fruits rather than photographs of strawberries and peaches. "What this new identity enables us to do is start to seed, if you will, us going into other areas beyond yogurt," says Peter McGuinness, Chobani's chief marketing and commercial officer. But he wouldn't say what new foods or products it might make, or when it would happen. Chobani has grown quickly since its yogurt was first sold at supermarkets 10 years ago. Older food companies scrambled to catch up and offer their own versions of Greek yogurt, but last year Chobani overtook General Mills Inc.'s Yoplait as the best-selling yogurt brand in the U.S., according to market research firm Euromonitor. McGuinness says the new, thicker font makes Chobani easier to spot in the overcrowded yogurt aisle, and the off-white containers differentiate it from its rivals.

When it comes to 21st century multimedia platforms, “hyper local” is a term you hear a lot. It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newpapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore. But, day in and day out, The Westfield News provides consistant coverage of the stories you need to know about, that are important to your city, town, neighborhood and home.

A similar treatment was given to Chobani Flip, which has yogurt in one container and mix-ins such as chocolate or dried cranberries in the other. Flip, which was launched nearly four years ago, is on track to become a $1 billion business in about two years, says McGuinness. It gets people to eat yogurt beyond breakfast, he says, and brings people to the brand who may not like yogurt. He declined to say how much the redesign would cost, but anywhere the logo appears is being updated. "This is a big investment," he says.

Baker: Massachusetts ideal to host Army modernization effort BOSTON (AP) — Gov. Charlie Baker is pitching Massachusetts as the best place for the Army to locate its new modernization efforts. The Republican governor points to the state's "innovation economy," its skilled workforce and its proximity to top universities like Harvard, MIT and the University of Massachusetts. He argues Massachusetts is the ideal location to host the Army's future Modernization Command. Baker made the pitch in a letter to Army Chief of Staff General Mark Milley released by Baker's office Tuesday. The letter was also signed by Democratic U.S. Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Edward Markey and Democratic Reps. Niki Tsongas and Seth Moulton. Baker also pointed to companies like General Electric, Fidelity and Dell and top research facilities like Draper Laboratory, MIT Lincoln Lab and MITRE — all located in Massachusetts.

Boston weighs banning plastic shopping bags BOSTON (AP) — The Boston City Council is considering banning single-use plastic shopping bags. The Boston Globe reports a vote on a proposal by Councilor Matt O'Malley could come as soon as Wednesday. The council has been weighing a citywide plastic bag ban for more than a year. Democratic Mayor Marty Walsh's administration opposed last year's proposal, citing potential impact on low income households and small businesses. The administration says it's reviewing O'Malley's current proposal, which would ban flimsy plastic bags but allow businesses to charge 5-cents for more durable ones, as well as paper bags with handles. Typical paper bags without handles would be free and businesses would keep all fee proceeds. Neighboring Cambridge, Somerville and Brookline are among some 60 communities statewide that have imposed fees or limits on plastic bags.
For second time this year, Supreme Court suspends wrong guy By MARK SHERMAN Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Jim Robbins' seven years of service at the Supreme Court was not enough to keep him from the being the second lawyer this year who was mistakenly suspended from the court's prestigious bar. "They suspended me?" a surprised Robbins asked with a chuckle Tuesday from his home outside San Francisco. They did, but they didn't mean to. The court acknowledged Monday that it had confused another James A. Robbins, a New York lawyer who tried to cover up his loss of a client's will, with the former Supreme Court employee. In May, the court mixed up a lawyer who was convicted of drunken driving with the incoming president of the Massachusetts state bar. Anyone who argues in front of the Supreme Court must be a member of its bar, but few of the nearly 4,000 lawyers on average who join the bar each year ever argue a case there. Bar members get a certificate suitable for framing, a credential for their resume and the chance to join a shorter line for lawyers who want to see Supreme Court arguments. The court has a process for verifying whether lawyers who commit crimes or are disciplined where they work also are members of the Supreme Court bar. But the process is not error-proof, even at an institution that has the final word on matters of law in the U.S. The Supreme Court receives discipline notices from courts around the country and compares those lists with the roster of lawyers who can practice in front of the justices. When there's a match, the court initiates its own disbarment proceeding, which begins with a suspension and an order to explain why the lawyer should not be kicked out of the Supreme Court bar. The court clerk's office belatedly discovered that the New York Robbins was not a Supreme Court bar member, court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said. The California Robbins recalled his admission to the high court bar in 1981, at the request of then Solicitor General Wade McCree Jr. He served on the business side of the court in the early 1980s, when Warren Burger was chief justice, and has never argued a high court case. But neither has Robbins been entirely forgotten at the Supreme Court. "He hired me," Arberg said, after a reporter told her that the unsuspended Robbins once worked at the court.

THE CONVERSATION
When envisioning the future of TV, think of a shopping mall By AMANDA LOTZ University of Michigan One of the biggest media industry stories this year is Disney’s announcement that it will launch its own internetdistributed television service in 2018. There’s a lot we don’t know. The price is up in the air. And Disney – a company that owns everything from Star Wars to Marvel to ESPN – hasn’t clearly signaled how it will divvy its major franchises and brands across two or more services. But much of the prognosticating – especially those betting on a battle between Disney and Netflix – reveals a misunderstanding of the marketplace. Don’t assume internet-distributed video will be dominated by a single service, or that all video services compete against each other. Instead, Disney’s new streaming service points to the growing range of offerings consumers will be able to choose from in the coming months and years. There’s room for multiple winners Disney, for example, recently suggested one of its new services would include only family-friendly content and would be priced “substantially lower” than Netflix. But is that service a threat to Netflix, as some have suggested? Of course not. It helps to think of new television streaming services as specialty stores like the Gap, Chico’s or Justice. All sell clothing, but they compete minimally with one another because each targets consumers of different ages. Likewise, while a department store such as Macy’s might compete a bit with each of these stores, they’re primarily concerned with other retailers that house many goods under the same roof – Target, Walmart and J.C. Penney. Even in a world of online retailers, there’s a huge variety among specialty sellers and Amazon’s one-stop shopping. When it comes to streaming services, they might all deliver the same thing – video – via an internet connection. But it’s important to understand that all video services are not in competition. Many are quite complementary. Most offer completely different libraries of content and instead compete with cable and satellite packages. A Disney service would replicate
only a small part of Netflix’s library, and would likely include much of the content offered on the Disney Channel. Consumers with young children may decide that they need only a service with content for kids. Or they may decide they want a single library with content for both adults and children. Or they may decide that each provides enough value to subscribe to both. Internet-distributed television simply offers much more flexibility; it’s up to consumers to assess what they want and how much they want to spread their spending. In addition to differences based on the type of content these services offer, their revenue models are also distinct. Contrast YouTube and Netflix. YouTube – like other social media platforms – has low content costs because users create and upload most videos. Without substantial program costs, YouTube can develop a business supported through advertising. In contrast, Netflix offers a deliberately curated library of content that it either pays to license or creates. It provides a library valued enough by some to pay a monthly fee for access to it. Because of the difference in their revenue models and the content those models allow, Netflix and YouTube are far more complementary than competitive. The breakdown of channel bundles
For decades, U.S. television viewers could choose from only two or three options: broadcast signals, an expensive cable or satellite bundle, or a bigger, even more expensive cable or satellite bundle. People frustrated with bundles (“Why would I want all of these channels?”) used to call for “à la carte” cable: the ability to select individual cable channels for which they hoped to pay less than the high amount for a bundle with many channels they never viewed. Of course, there was a reason companies didn’t let customers pay less for fewer channels – the bundles are the result of a business strategy intended to maximize profits. But even though traditional cable remains bundled, more and more entertainment companies – like Disney – are offering their content at a standalone fee, allowing consumers to cobble together a customized menu of services. When viewers decide whether to subscribe to Disney’s new service, they’ll think about how this added cost relates to what they’re already paying, and whether it’s worth it. We’re still in the early days of this new way of delivering television and film. For every headline announcing a service shuttingdown, new ones are launching. And FCC plans to eliminatenet neutrality will likely change this landscape tremendously. It’s all part of the process of companies figuring out how much consumers want and how much they’re willing to pay. The new services offering content geared to a brand, franchise or genre – Disney, WWE Network (wrestling), Shudder (horror) – never plan on being in every home in the way CBS and NBC once were. Just as we sometimes choose the one-stop shopping of Target, services such as Netflix offer convenience. But the trade-off for convenience is product choice – do you want to select among two sweaters or the 20 you’ll find at Old Navy? Services that fail don’t portend the viability of all internetdistributed television. Nor do the successes. Rather, they simply offer lessons on particular value propositions. The future likely includes a mix of specialty and multifaceted services.

‘Tis a new season By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – ‘Tis the season. The weather outside might be turning frightful, but the time to fire up delightful jump shots, alleyoops, and behind-the-back passes is nearly upon us. On Mon., Dec. 11, the Southwick basketball program will tip-off with a home and away contest. While Southwick girls basketball will host Palmer at 7 p.m., the boys basketball team will open on the road at Frontier at 7:30. The Southwick boys basketball team has made huge strides under the direction of head coach Dylan Dubuc. After winning just three games during the entire 2013-14 regular season, the Rams improved to 7-13 the following year. Last season, Southwick ended a five-year postsea-

Dear Annie By ANNIE LANE
Ask Away Dear Annie: I work in retail, and my job requires a good deal of direct contact with customers. I often encounter customers who are hesitant, even apologetic, to ask me questions when they have them, the usual reasons being that I “look busy” or that they are unsure whether I can help. I realize that these people are attempting to be polite, but their timidity in asking often has the opposite effect. Retail is like any other job, in that I am paid to be busy; if I am too busy for customers, it is my responsibility, not theirs, to find someone who can help them or to inform them that I will be with them shortly. The same follows if I am unable to help. But I will never know whether I am able to help unless they proceed with their question. Regardless, customer service is my duty as part of my job. Even setting aside my duties at work, I was raised to put the needs of others before my own; therefore, requests are never as much of an imposition as customers think. I would even go so far as to say that they think their questions are an imposition in order to consider themselves more important, but that is merely mild paranoia. Is there a way to tell customers that you find their behavior rude without being rude yourself or lecturing them? -- Gentle Giant Dear Gentle Giant: Your signature gives a clue about why customers might be reluctant to ask you for help. If you really are giant-sized, they may be intimidated. So my advice is to keep doing what you are doing -- to be as solicitous, helpful and kind as possible. Stay gentle and sweet. As the saying goes, “You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.” Dear Annie: At a recent seniors meeting, I heard similar stories from two women in the group. Each one had been absent from her home for a couple of days, and close relatives took it upon themselves to “clean” their kitchens. Shelves were rearranged to suit the fancy and height of the rearrangers. Items were tossed that the owners considered useful. This caused great distress to the women. Neither of these women is tall, and their relatives put things on shelves that required them to use a stepstool. One cannot see well and now can’t locate needed items readily. You get the picture. For well-meaning relatives: Please do not do this to your loved ones! -- Sympathetic Senior Dear Sympathetic Senior: I second your plea. No one should reorganize another person’s place without permission, even if it’s done out of love and with the best intentions. Home is where you hang your hat -- and it’s jarring when someone moves the peg. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.com.

HINTS FROM HELOISE HOW BAD IS THE BURN? Dear Heloise: Does “FREEZER BURN” on food indicate that the food is no longer fit for human consumption? Is it actually bad for you where it could kill you if you eat it, or does it just lose some of its flavor? -- Joe G. in Florida Joe, freezer burn is a matter of quality, not safety. Freezer burn is moisture loss, which can produce white spots or dark discoloration. In all likelihood, it won’t make you sick, but it’s not going to taste very good. You also might notice a different texture to the food if you eat it. -Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 78279-5000 Fax: 210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com STIR-FRY TRICK Dear Heloise: I needed only half of a small zucchini for a stirfry, so I started by cutting off the stem end, then I cut the zucchini lengthwise until I had four spears. I laid the spears side by side and sliced across the spears until I had the zucchini cut into quarter-size pieces. It was quick and easy. This also works well for large carrots and cucumbers. -- Rusti S. in Houston WHO KNEW? Dear Heloise: I read in your column about someone who wrote about heating pizza in a frying pan. WOW! I would never have thought of that idea. I take it out a half-hour before cooking and heat it on low for about 10 minutes, and it’s always nice and crispy. There’s no other way to warm pizza. -- Cheryl D., via email KEEPING IT FRESH Dear Heloise: The best way to preserve fresh marshmallows is to put them into freezer bags and then into the freezer. They do not stick together, and they will be fresh and soft. -- Darlene M., New Braunfels, Texas NEW IDEA ON AN OLD FAVORITE Dear Heloise: Want a simple dessert with a new flavor? Try coffee ice cream with raspberry topping, then top that with a cloud of whipped cream and maybe a few chocolate sprinkles. My guests love it, and my husband, who is an ice-cream fiend, could eat it six nights a week! -- Marcee M., Tega Cay, S.C.

Woods is back, but maybe not the guy on TV By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) — Tiger Woods couldn't have scored more points with his two children than when he took them to Miami this summer to watch Barcelona in a friendly, and then arranged for them to meet Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez in the locker room. He described it as a surreal moment to watch his kids in awe of their soccer heroes, especially Messi, their favorite. It was a reminder of his own place in the world of sport when he said to daughter Sam, "Isn't it neat to meet a living legend?" Sam's reply: "Yeah. We live with one." "I never thought my kids have understood what I've been able to do in the game because they always think I'm the 'YouTube' golfer," Woods said Tuesday. "They've never seen me in action." His son, Charlie, was 4 when Woods won the Bridgestone Invitational for his 79th — and still his last — victory on the PGA Tour. "Most of the stuff they've seen has been on highlight packages," Woods said. "I want them to see what I've been able to do my entire career. I don't know how long I'm going to be playing, but I want them to come to a few events. I want them to feel it. I want them to understand it a little bit more." Woods is a YouTube sensation to more than just his own children. He might as well add PGA champion Justin Thomas, Hideki Matsuyama and Daniel Berger to that list. They weren't on the PGA Tour in 2013 when Woods last won a tournament. The list is even longer of players who don't know the Woods that dominated his sport like no other. Thomas was 7 when he was at Valhalla for the 2000 PGA Championship and the great duel between Woods and Bob May that went to a three-hole playoff. Thomas recalls hearing the roar of the crowd when Woods made a 6-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to force a playoff, which Woods considers the most important putt he ever made. That was Woods at his best. That was the Woods that inspired a generation he now has to beat. That was mostly a memory. "I never played against that person," Thomas said. "All I know in terms of watching him actually play golf is what I've seen. Until you're there and you stand and you watch the golf shots, you hear the sound it makes, you watch the putts, chips, then you really get an idea. But I guess we'll have to wait and see." Thomas will get that opportunity Thursday in the Hero World Challenge when Woods plays for only the fourth time in two years. Woods called him a few weeks ago and asked Thomas if he'd like to be paired with him for the first round. What should Thomas expect to see? Not even Woods knows, having not teed it up in competition since Feb. 3 in Dubai. Patrick Reed talks endlessly about the three years between the summer of 1999 and the summer of 2001, when Woods won 23 of the 46 tournaments he played around the world, including five out of eight majors. "Not only did he beat people physically, he destroyed the guys in his group mentally. They completely unraveled," Reed said. "Nowadays, that's gone away. All of us got to know Tiger when he was going through injuries. We saw Tiger when he was his most vulnerable, when he was trying to play golf being injured. ... I would love to turn back that clock and pop out for the '99 to 2001 Tiger. Because I was growing up watching it. I'd love to
TIGER WOODS play against it." Reed is part of a generation that was inspired to play by watching Woods. In some respects, Woods trained the kids he now has to beat. Do they think their games now are good enough to take on Woods in his prime? "You'd be stupid to say you couldn't because you'd be doubting yourself," U.S. Open champion Brooks Koepka said. "He was very dominant. It's very intimidating when a guy wins so much. It must have been depressing when he showed up. You'd have a 1-in-3 chance of winning. I watched it growing up. I knew exactly how good he was. I wish I could have played against him." Assuming his health allows him to play a regular schedule, Woods would love that opportunity, too. "In an ideal world," he said, "I would like to have them feel what some of my past guys had to go against all those years." That's a tall order, and Woods knows it. He often says that "Father Time remains undefeated." He says the pain is gone after fusion surgery on his lower back. He appears to have freedom in his swing and power in his game. But he is not the same player on those video clips. He turns 42 at the end of the month. He has gone through four surgeries on his back, four on his knee. He has gone 30 starts over four years without winning. Can he ever be the guy on YouTube again? Can he be better? "That's going to be hard," he said with a smile. "I mean, I was pretty good."
‘Stranger Things’? No, just thoughtful gifts for TV addicts LOS ANGELES (AP) — Give the binge-watching a rest, please, and play thoughtful Santa for the fellow TV addicts in your life. Peak TV makes peak gift-giving easy. Whether inspired by newcomers including "Stranger Things" and "This Is Us" or golden oldie "The Twilight Zone," possibilities abound. There are outstanding series soundtracks to be had, and enough TV-centric trinkets to allow busy elves to take time off from the factory. Books destined for the small screen make thoughtful presents, which could also be said of a streaming stick with kid-friendly fare. Here's a selection to consider, with prices as found online and a friendly nudge: search out discounts. THE TUNES: — "Big Little Lies" soundtrack (CD or MP3, about $8 to $9). A playlist that draws you back into the series' dark world, with song titles that tell the devilmade-them-do-it tale: Michael Kiwanuka's "Cold Little Heart," Charles Bradley's "Victim of Love" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want" by Ituana. — "This Is Us" season one soundtrack, (CD or MP3, about $6 to $11). Break out the tissue box as you summon memories of your introduction to the Pearson family, with Labi Siffre's "Watch Me," Bryan Tyree Henry's "We Can Always Come Back to This" and the seasonal "O Tannenbaum." — "The Vietnam War" companion soundtrack, (CD or MP3, $14 to $18). The sweep of the Ken Burns-Lynn Novick series is matched by the music — evocative for those who lived through
it, a revelation for those unaware of how deeply artists engaged with the era's tumult. The 38 tracks on two CDs include Bob Dylan's "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall"; "Waist Deep in the Big Muddy," Pete Seeger, and "Backlash Blues," Nina Simone. THE BOOKS: — "The Complete America's Test Kitchen TV Show Cookbook 2001-2018 ($20 and up, America's Test Kitchen). Searching online for reliable recipes is tricky, while this compendium is anything but with more than 1,000 chefproven ones for the Test Kitchen's "best" version of a given dish. Techniques and tips about ingredients and equipment are included, along with a behind-the-scenes peak at how the kitchen lab functions. — "Everything I Need to Know I Learned in the Twilight Zone" by Mark Dawidziak ($26.99, Thomas Dunne Books). Veteran TV critic Dawidziak pays tribute to Rod Serling's 1959-64 series by mining self-help lessons from such memorable episodes as "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street," in which neighbors suspect each other of being invading aliens, and "To Serve Man," a reminder that judging a book by its cover is risky. — For those who like to read a story before seeing it adapted, consider these works (available digitally or in paperback for $10 or less each): "The Haunting of Hill House" by Shirley Jackson, already the basis of two movies and now due on Netflix; Nnedi Okorafor's "Who Fears Death," a post-apocalyptic novel set in Africa and optioned for a HBO series; Sarai Walker's "Dietland," a blast against society's weight and beauty expectations coming to AMC.
THE MERCH AND MORE: — "Stranger Things" is hot and has the show-inspired tchotchkes to prove it. Collectible figures include Eleven in a hospital gown or clutching the Eggo waffles she so loves, and Mike as a ghostbuster (Pop! Television by Funko, around $10). There's also the Eggo Card Game ($15 and up) in which players attempt to escape from the Upside Down. Or maybe something more useful, say "Stranger Things" mugs in more than a dozen designs and all with the familiar quote, "Mornings are for coffee and contemplation" ($10 and up, Etsy.com). — PBS Kids Plug & Play TV streaming stick, ($49.99), gives children ages 3 and up their own bright-green remote control and the promise of entertainment with education. The device is pre-loaded with 100-plus hours of sing-alongs, games and other content that's available without wifi; when connected, it includes free access to PBS Kids' round-the-clock channel and on-demand videos. When new content is released there's no additional cost. — Feeling really generous? Through Dec. 6, you can bid on such top-drawer Hollywood events as next season's premiere of "The Handmaid's Tale" (two tickets, at last check up to $2,350) or a pair of orchestra seats at the Emmy Awards (at $10,000-plus so far). The online auction at charitybuzz.com/ emmysfoundation benefits the Television Academy Foundation, the academy's charitable arm. If you miss out, go the more modest, readily available route with streaming service gift cards for Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime and HBO Now, at retailers or online and around $25 and up.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Nov. 29, 2017: This year you go with the flow, as you are aware of what the appropriate choice is for you.

If you are single, you have no shortage of opportunities to change that status. Take your time getting to know someone before you commit. If you are attached, you might want more downtime than in the past. Try to understand your sensitivities and not project them onto your sweetie. ARIES knows how to have a good time.

49ers turn to Jimmy Garoppolo as starting quarterback SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers are ready for the start of the Jimmy Garoppolo era after announcing Tuesday that the franchise's quarterback of the future will make his first start for the team this week. Coach Kyle Shanahan met with Garoppolo and former starter C.J. Beathard to inform them that Garoppolo will make his first start for San Francisco (1-10) on Sunday at Chicago (3-8). The Niners acquired Garoppolo on Oct. 31 from New England for a 2018 second-round pick to be the franchise's long-term quarterback even though he had made only two starts in three-plus seasons for the Patriots. After taking time to learn the new offense, Garoppolo made his San Francisco debut in Sunday's 24-13 loss to Seattle after starter Beathard left with injuries to his hip and knee with just over a minute left. Garoppolo completed both passes, including a 10-yard touchdown pass to Louis Murphy. Now he will get an even bigger opportunity to show what he can do for his new team. Garoppolo has little NFL game film to go on but his performance in those two starts last year when Tom Brady was suspended was impressive and made him a highly sought after quarterback. He completed 42 of 59 passes for 496 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions in wins against Arizona and Miami. He got hurt in the second quarter of his second start and has thrown just six passes since then — including the two on Sunday — but the Niners still believe he's the player to build around.

Manning benching low point of a year the Giants went south By TOM CANAVAN AP Sports Writer EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The benching of Eli Manning for the first time in 13 seasons is probably the low point of a season in which the New York Giants did almost nothing right. Let’s start with the decision by coach Ben McAdoo and management to sit Manning with five games left in the regular season. Sure, the Giants are 2-9, out of the playoff picture and they need to find out something about backup quarterbacks Geno Smith and rookie Davis Webb. Benching the 36-year-old Manning wasn’t the right thing to do, and it wasn’t handled properly. If anyone doubts that all they would have had to do was see the tears welling in the twotime Super Bowl MVP’s eyes and the heartbreak his quivering chin displayed when asked how much this hurt. The Giants offered Manning the opportunity to start and keep his streak of 210 consecutive starts alive, but the 14-year veteran didn’t want to be part of a sham. If you start, you play to win, not keep a streak alive. The wrong move has been par for the Giants, who were coming off an 11-5 season that got them into the playoffs for the first time since 2011. However, all the close games the team won last season, it lost this year.

The Giants are changing quarterbacks for first time in more than 13 years. Yes, Eli Manning is not going to start. The Giants announced on Tuesday, Nov. 28, 2017, that Geno Smith will start in place of Manning when the Giants (2-9) face the Raiders in Oakland on Sunday. (AP Photo/ Patrick Semansky, File)
Injuries to Odell Beckham Jr. and fellow receiver Brandon Marshall hurt, but that wasn’t the reason the Giants, who have 19 players on injured reserve, lost this season. The Giants knew after last season that they needed to improve a weak offensive line and general manager Jerry Reese did little to do that. He signed guard D.J. Fluker when New York needed a solid tackle.
The offense as a whole also needed work. Beckham was the catalyst and had no supporting cast other than Manning and slot receiver Sterling Shepard. The signing of Marshall as the second outside receiver proved to be a bust, and the line only occasionally created holes for the running game. McAdoo, who showed talent as the offensive coordinator under Tom Coughlin, has failed to get the offense in gear for Manning the past two years. Manning is a pocket quarterback who has been hit a lot the past two seasons playing without a line, a running game and viable outside receivers other than Beckham. While the defense had most of its key players returning this season, something seemed to be missing. Steve Spagnuolo’s unit was very good at closing out games last season. In getting off to a 0-5 start, the defense failed to hold fourth-quarter leads in consecutive losses to Philadelphia, Tampa Bay and the Chargers. Even the special teams have struggled with punter Brad Wing having an inconsistent season and rookie placekicker Aldrick Rosas missing five of 18 field goal attempts and booting a couple of kickoff out of bounds. The losses took a toll on the players with cornerbacks Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Janoris Jenkins each being suspended by McAdoo for a game for breaking team rules. It led many to wonder if McAdoo had lost
control of the team in only his second season and whether he would be back next year. Co-owners John Mara and Steve Tisch have to decide his future. Reese is almost sure to be fired. “This is not a statement about anything other than we are 2-9, and we have to do what is best for the organization moving forward, and that means evaluating every position,” Reese said in a statement Tuesday. “I told Eli this morning that an organization could not ask for any more in a franchise quarterback. He has been that and more. Nobody knows what the future holds, but right now, this is what we think is best for the franchise.” Former center and current NFL Network analyst Shaun O’Hara summed up the frustration of Giants’ fans. “It’s a gut punch to everybody, whether you’re former player, whether you played with Eli, against Eli, whether you’re a fan,” O’Hara said. “This feels like a punch right to the stomach. I’ve been sick, I’ve been angry. I’ve also been relieved because now Eli doesn’t have to go out there and try to win games with that shoddy roster and the people around him.” Whether Manning returns remains to be seen. “We talked,” said Archie Manning. Eli’s father and a former NFL quarterback. “Eli’s a big boy, he’s played a lot. He’s a tough guy. I’m very confident Eli will handle it.”
