City Clerk addresses early voting security concerns

This year’s election has similarities to a historical one

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent While this year’s election could be historic, including the possibility of a third-party candidate winning a state and someone who has no prior political experience running for president, these all happened in an election before–in 1824.

The 1824 presidential election, which was the only one that was determined by the US House of Representatives and the only election where the candidate with the most electoral votes didn’t win, was one of the most impactful elections in US history. In addition to these two facts, the election also brought an end to an era in the US and helped to create the modern Democratic Party and modern campaigning.

It all started when John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay and William H. Crawford all vied for the presidency after the Democratic-Republican party–the dominant party at the time–could not decide on one of the men to be the party’s representative. So, they all ran against each other, but were effectively from the same party.

“No one never got enough votes to win the election and it happened because there were so many candidates,” Westfield State University political sciences professor Dr. David Smailes said. “Each had a lot of regional support so the electors decided to vote for the person from their region.”

This regionalization of votes provided each of the four men with electoral college votes, Smailes said, but none with the required 50 See Historical, Page 3

Westfield Tech culinary students bring talents to Southwick Senior Center

By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent SOUTHWICK – The Westfield Technical Academy culinary program took their talents to the Southwick Senior Center on Tuesday morning.

Chef Eric Rogers, who is one of the culinary teachers in the program, came to the senior center with two of his students. Both juniors at Westfield Technical Academy, Nathan Ethier and Emily White helped Rogers with the event.

The event was a cooking demonstration class that was held in the cafe at the Parks and Recreation Center of the town hall. It was open to all seniors at the Southwick Senior Center.

As this was the third trip for Rogers and his culinary program doing the cooking class to the public, Tuesday morning’s class marked the first one of the 2016-17 school year.

“I think it’s a great opportunity for the stu-

dents,” said Rogers.

On the menu for the seniors was a DownEast Maine Pumpkin Bread and an Autumn Bisque as the soup.

Ethier showed the seniors how to make the pumpkin bread. Explaining every step that he was going through with the recipe, the seniors would ask questions and make comments about what was going on. Rogers would also frequently stop the process and offer more insight to the crowd.

Following right after Ethier, White then stepped in and took over to show how to make the Autumn Bisque.

After each of the treats were finished being baked and cooked, they were offered to the seniors to eat and see how they liked it.

Southwick school committee takes stand on question two

By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent SOUTHWICK – The school committee made a decision about question two on this year’s ballot. The committee has taken a stand against Charter Schools and will be supporting a “no” vote on question two on Nov. 8. As a vote was taken by the committee, the vote was made unanimous.

The Resolution Charter School Reform states that, the possibility of the expansion of Commonwealth charter schools in Massachusetts poses a threat to the ability of public school districts to provide services to

By AMY PORTER Correspondent WESTFIELD – In response to questions posed by The Westfield News from voter concerns, City Clerk Karen M. Fanion went over the exact process of collecting ballots from Early Voting.

Fanion said that after a person votes, the voter places the ballot into an envelope and seals it, then hands the sealed envelope to an election worker who then puts the sealed envelope into the corresponding ward and precinct security bag.

She said there is somebody with the bags at KAREN M. all times, either one of FANION her staff or an election City Clerk worker.

At the end of the day, the security bags are locked in the vault in the City Clerk’s office.

On the morning of Election Day, November 8, police officers will pick up the bags and deliver them to each precinct, where they will be processed and added to the precinct’s vote.

Fanion said that she will have people designated to count the Early Voting ballots at each precinct.

Rep. Velis speaks out about National Guard repayments

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD – The California National Guard’s decision to recoup enlistment bonuses from veterans who served has created a feeling of disgust for military veteran and state Rep. John Velis.

“It’s nothing short of a national disgrace, I’m calling on congress to act on this not today, not tomorrow, but yesterday,” Velis said. “We promised servicemembers a bonus and through no fault of their own they demand their money back.”

The California National Guard has recently been exposed as attempting to collect bonuses paid to service members, impacting approximately 9,700 veterans. The bonuses were used

Millennials: Who are they? Will they vote?

By NORMAN HALLS Contributor Millennials have been widely studied, with numerous surveys highlighting ways in which they differ from older generations. For example, a survey by Pew Research Center revealed that Millennials are much more likely than Boomers and Gen-Xers to describe themselves as political independents.

Another survey by Deloitte found that Millennials wanted businesses to focus more on “people and purpose.” No wonder, then, that many studies on Millennials, especially those on workforce patterns, are driven by concerns that Millennials may be following radi-

cally different career trajectories than prior generations; reported Dr. Patricia Buckley. Comprised of an estimated 80 Million people in the U.S., Millennials are first to replace baby boomers as they retire from the workforce. “…In 2011, the youngest of the Millennial generation turn 16 years old.

The oldest, they’re now 31. The average age of the world population is 28. By 2015, almost half (47%) the world population will be under the age of 25. While many still view Millennials as punky kids playing on their tablets between high school classes, the reality is that two-thirds of Millennials are now over the age of 21, and many have established

careers, families and an incredible amount of influence…” said: Stephen Abram, Lighthouse Consulting.

The Millennials are also more greatly educated than individuals in earlier generations. What we know about Millennials and Politics; they are political independents – voted for President Obama by double digits in 2008 & 2012, 50% are self-described as independent; Millennials are the most racially and ethnically diverse generation – 40% of Millennials are non-white or Hispanic: Millennials are the most moderate of any generation – plurality of Millennials, See Millennials, Page 8

The rapid refuels allow the aircraft to be refueled while the engines are running and thrusts the aircraft back into the fight with a rapid response to answer our nation’s call.

The F-15 can hold close to 23,000 pounds or 1600 gallons of fuel in its tank, this procedure gets an aircraft refueled in as few as 5 minutes and the whole process complete within 15 minutes.

Beer run!

Self-driving truck goes 120-plus miles on delivery DENVER (AP) — Anheuser-Busch says it has completed the world’s first commercial shipment by self-driving truck, sending a beer-filled tractor-trailer on a journey of more than 120 miles through Colorado.

The company says it teamed with selfdriving truck maker Otto and the state of Colorado for the feat. The trailer, loaded with Budweiser beer, began the selfdriving trip Thursday at a weigh station in Fort Collins, Colorado, and ran along Interstate 25 through Denver before wrapping up in Colorado Springs.

The company says a professional truck driver was on board for the entire route and monitored the trip from the cab’s sleeper berth.

Anheuser-Busch says it hopes to see self-driving technology widely deployed.

Otto was recently acquired by Uber.

Thomas said, after voting, the voter puts the ballot in a sealed envelope and hands it to her. All envelopes are then locked in the vault at the end of the day.

“I’m an advocate for public education,” said Willard. “I believe in our public schools, I believe in our teachers.”

While there are no charter schools located within the Southwick-Tolland-Granville You Help Sarah?

Policy Prescriptions: Clinton, Trump on guns

By LISA MARIE PANE Associated Press ATLANTA (AP) — If there was ever an issue underscoring the differences between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, it's gun rights.

Trump, the GOP presidential nominee, is a lifelong member of the National Rifle Association who believes the Second Amendment provides an absolute right to buy and own firearms. Democrat Clinton has advocated limiting the sales and possession of guns.

Both claim their approach as an answer to the gun violence that is a top concern of Americans — from terror attacks and mass shootings to the proliferation of guns on city streets.

Trump's acceptance speech at the Republican convention heavily backed law enforcement in a tough-on-crime message to address gun violence. "An attack on law enforcement is an attack on all Americans," he said.

Clinton and her convention showcased the stories of gunviolence victims, from former congresswoman Gabby Giffords, critically injured by a gunman in 2011, to mothers whose children were killed. "If we're serious about keeping our country safe, we also can't afford to have a president who's in the pocket of the gun lobby," she said.

The next president will have significant influence over how the nation's gun laws are applied through an appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court to fill the vacancy created with the death of Justice Antonin Scalia.

Here is a summary of their proposals:

BACKGROUND CHECKS Under federal law, background checks for firearms purchases must be completed within three days or the sale goes ahead without it. Since the online system began in 1998, nearly 246 million background checks have been performed, and in that time nearly 1.4 million purchases have been denied, the FBI says. Most denials were because of a prior criminal history that made the person ineligible to buy a firearm.

Relatively few — just a little over 25,000 — were denied because of a mental health issue.

TRUMP: Supports keeping the current system but making it more effective by ensuring that states provide criminal and mental health records so the system has the most up-to-date and accurate information. He criticizes efforts to expand background checks, saying it ignores that criminals rarely purchase their firearms through legal channels.

CLINTON: Advocates expanding background checks to include the sale of firearms at gun shows or via the internet.

Policy Prescriptions: Clinton and Trump on the Islamic State

By VIVIAN SALAMA Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — If there's one thing Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump can agree on, it's that the Islamic State group is a global threat that needs to be eradicated.

However, the two presidential nominees seem to disagree on just about everything else about it, from how to defeat the militant group, to which of them the militants prefer for America's next commander-in-chief.

Here is a summary of their proposals:

HOW TO DEFEAT THE ISLAMIC STATE GROUP? TRUMP: In his much-anticipated foreign policy speech in August, Trump said he would "aggressively pursue" joint or coalition military operations to "crush and destroy ISIS," using an acronym for the militant group. On his campaign website, he also highlights the need for expanded intelligence sharing and "cyberwarfare" to tackle the militants' efforts to recruit and spread their propaganda online. He also said the U.S. must prevent the group from generating income, particularly through oil sales, with Trump noting on several occasions that he plans to "take back the oil."

CLINTON: The former secretary of state has said she plans on targeting the Islamic State group's leader, Abu Bakr alBaghdadi, saying that when the U.S. assassinated al-Qaida leader Osama Bin Laden, it "made a difference."

On her campaign website, Clinton also details her plan for tackling the Islamic State group: First, she would continue the airstrike campaign in Iraq and Syria to deny it territory.

Second, she would work with European intelligence agencies and tech companies to stifle its global network of money, weapons and fighters, and to stop it from recruiting and inspiring people around the world. Third, she would boost America's defenses to prevent homegrown threats by "breaking down bureaucratic barriers" to ease information-sharing among various agencies.

SHOULD THE U.S. SEND MORE TROOPS TO FIGHT THE ISLAMIC STATE GROUP? TRUMP: The celebrity businessman said in July that he would have "very few troops on the ground" and use "unbelievable intelligence" to defeat the Islamic State group. During a primary debate in March, Trump said he would listen to senior military officials to determine how many troops were needed, adding, "I'm hearing numbers of 20,000 to 30,000."

He has since backed off that figure, reiterating at the second presidential debate on Oct. 9 that he plans to "knock the hell out of ISIS," without detailing his plans regarding U.S. involvement.

CLINTON: At an NBC News town hall in September, Clinton said, "we are not putting ground troops into Iraq ever again. And we're not putting ground troops into Syria. We're

going to defeat ISIS without committing American ground troops."

At the Oct. 9 debate, she said it would be a "very serious mistake" to send troops to Syria to help in the fight against the Islamic State group, noting that they would be viewed as an "occupying force."

WHAT SHOULD RUSSIA’S ROLE BE IN THE FIGHT AGAINST THE ISLAMIC STATE GROUP? TRUMP: The Republican nominee has made no secret of his willingness to work with the Russians in the fight against the Islamic State group. During his foreign policy speech in August, Trump noted that the U.S. can "find common ground with Russia in the fight against ISIS," adding that we have shared interests in the outcome in Syria and the battle against Islamic extremism.

At the Oct. 9 debate, Trump said he disagreed with his running mate, Mike Pence, when he said the U.S. should be prepared to take military action in Syria if Russia continues to be involved in airstrikes along with the Syrian government.

Trump told the town hall, "Assad is killing ISIS. Russia is killing ISIS. Iran is killing ISIS. And those three have now lined up together because of our weak policy."

He later said he thinks "it would be great if we got along with Russia. We could fight ISIS together."

CLINTON: The Democratic nominee countered that Russia "hasn't paid any attention to ISIS." Clinton said Russia's sole interest in Syria is to keep President Bashar Assad in power and the U.S. needs leverage with the Russians, because "they are not going to come to the negotiating table for a diplomatic resolution unless there is some leverage over them," pointing to her proposal for a nofly zone and safe zone in Syria.

Clinton added that she supported calls by Secretary of State John Kerry for an investigation into "war crimes" committed by the Syrians and the Russians in an effort to "hold them accountable."

WHO DOES THE ISLAMIC STATE GROUP WANT TO BECOME THE NEXT PRESIDENT? TRUMP: Clinton. Over the summer, Trump suggested the militant group is on the edge of its seat hoping his Democratic rival wins in November.

"Oh, boy, is ISIS hoping for her," Trump said during an appearance in Miami, referring to Clinton.

"ISIS will hand her the most-valuable-player award. Her only competition is Barack Obama," Trump said, accusing the president of being the "founder of ISIS" and Clinton its "cofounder."

CLINTON: Trump. In an interview with Israel's Channel 2 News in September, the Democratic nominee noted that the militant group is praying, "Oh please, Allah, make Trump president of America."

She noted that Trump's rhetoric "is giving aid and comfort to our adversaries," pointing to an article by Mike Olsen, the former head of the National Counterterrorism Center, citing Trump's tough rhetoric as fueling Islamic state recruitment.

She described Trump as a "recruiting sergeant" for the Islamic State group.

Mass. man rescued from 10-foot-deep hole after porch collapse TOPSFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts man is recovering after authorities say he became trapped in a 10-foot-deep hole when the concrete floor of his screened-in porch collapsed.

Fire crews responded to the Topsfield home just before 6 p.m. Monday.

Officials say the victim had called police from a cellphone he had on him at the time.

Officials say firefighters were lowered into the hole to rescue the man. They pulled him to safety about 20 minutes later.

The man was treated for minor injuries at the hospital and released. He wasn't immediately identified.

It's unclear what caused the porch to collapse.

Leader of firm that cheated people out of $1.8B admits guilt WORCESTER, Mass.

(AP) — The president of a Massachusetts-based internet telecom company that prosecutors say was actually a pyramid scheme that cheated about 965,000 people worldwide out of nearly $1.8 billion has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and conspiracy.

James Merrill entered the pleas Monday in federal court in a deal with prosecutors that will limit him to a maximum of 10 years in prison at sentencing Feb. 2.

Prosecutors say the 55-year-old Ashland man was president of TelexFree, which sold VOIP telephone service.

TelexFree had few customers and made most of its revenue from people buying into the company with a promise of payouts for posting online ads for it. They were paid with money from new recruits.

Merrill's lawyer says his client played a limited role in TelexFree but accepts responsibility.

Gun Policy

Continued from Page 4 She also pledges to close the so-called "Charleston loophole," named for the shooting deaths of nine people at a South Carolina church during Bible study, which allows a gun sale to take place if the background check is not completed within the required three days.

ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN For a decade, the sale of so-called assault weapons, or AR-style semi-automatic rifles, and large-capacity magazines was banned. The ban expired in 2004 and such weapons remain much maligned among advocates for gun control because of their use in high-profile mass shootings, including the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre, which left 20 elementary school children and six school employees dead, and the shooting in June at a gay club in Orlando, Florida, which left 49 dead and 53 wounded.

TRUMP: Opposes efforts to reinstate the ban, which had been put in place in 1994 under the administration of Bill Clinton. "Law-abiding people should be allowed to own the firearm of their choice," Trump says in his position paper on the Second Amendment. "The government has no business dictating what types of firearms good, honest people are allowed to own."

CLINTON: Has supported reinstating the ban on assault weapons. "Military-style assault weapons do not belong on our streets," Clinton has said.

CONCEALED-CARRY PERMITS TRUMP: Advocates a national system making a concealedcarry permit valid in all 50 states.

CLINTON: Hasn't spelled out views on such permits. She has advocated raising the age to legally own a firearm from 18 to 21.

GUN-FREE ZONES Federal law makes it illegal to carry a firearm in a school zone. There are exceptions, including states that allow firearms on school property if they are kept in a locked vehicle. Some states also carve out an exception for people who have a concealed-carry permit. The issue of gun-free zones also arose in the immediate aftermath of last year's mass shooting at a military recruiting center and reserve center in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in which four Marines and a Navy sailor were killed.

TRUMP: Has said gun-free zones only invite attacks and has vowed to scrap them at military bases. "Banning our military from carrying firearms on bases and at recruiting centers is ridiculous. We train our military how to safely and responsibly use firearms, but our current policies leave them defenseless," Trump says in talking points posted on his campaign website.

CLINTON: Supports retaining gun-free zones at schools.

"Parents, teachers and schools should have the right to keep guns out of classrooms, just like Donald Trump does at many of his hotels."

Calling All Westfield Seniors: Can you be found in an emergency?

WESTFIELD— Can you be found in an emergency? The Council On Aging and Westfield Fire Department want to make sure that older adults in the City have numbers on their houses that are clearly visible from the street. In an emergency, seconds count. The faster that emergency police, fire, and medical personnel can get to you, the more likely that your life will be saved. We are asking all older adults in Westfield to check and make sure that your house numbers are clearly visible from the street. If they are not or if you do not have any numbers on your house and mailbox, the Council On Aging in partnership with the Westfield Fire Department, can help with funding from our ‘Senior Safe’ grant. We will purchase house and mailbox numbers and a team of volunteers from the Westfield Rotary Club will help with installation. An informational flyer with the guidelines and practical suggestions for house number placement is available at the Senior Center.

For assistance with house and mailbox numbers, please call the Westfield Council On Aging at 562-6435.

Sharps Disposal and Containers available at Fire Dept.

SOUTHWICK — The Southwick Fire Department is transitioning the Southwick Board of Health collection of Sharps and distribution of sharps containers to the Fire Station location.

Southwick residents may deposit their used items and in turn receive a new sharps container for future disposal.

Sharps are a term for medical devices with sharp points or edges that can puncture or cut the skin. Such medical devices include hypodermic needles and syringes used to administer medication; lancets or fingerstick devices to collect blood for testing; needle and tubing systems for infusing intravenous and subcutaneous medicines; and connection needles used for home hemodialysis With more diseases and conditions such as diabetes, cancer, allergies, arthritis and HIV being managed outside of hospitals and doctors’ offices, the number of sharps used in homes and work offices is increasing. In addition, pets are being treated in homes and livestock are being treated on farms, which are also contributing to the increased number of sharps outside of veterinary hospitals.

After being used, many sharps end up in home refuse and public trash cans and public streets. This kind of improper disposal puts people, such as sanitation workers, sewage treatment workers, janitors, housekeepers, family members and children at risk for needle stick injuries or infection with viruses such as Hepatitis B and C and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).

The Fire Department and Board of Health recognize that keeping used sharps from ending up in places where they could harm people is a public health priority. In conjunction with the Police departments drug disposal program the public safety campus will become a convenient location to dispose of medical items.

Southwick residents may bring sharps to the fire station located at 15 depot street between the hours of 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM Monday through Friday. You will be able to exchange your used container for a new one at no charge.

For questions about the program contact the Fire Department at 413 569 6363 Or chiefanderson@southwickfire.net

U.S. DEFENSE CHIEF

Don’t seek repayment of enlistment bonuses

By LOLITA C. BALDOR and MATTHEW DALY Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter on Wednesday ordered the Pentagon to suspend its effort to seek repayments of enlistment bonuses given to thousands of California National Guard members who served in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Carter's decision comes in the wake of angry reaction from congressional Republicans and Democrats who demanded he relieve the burden on the Guard members. And the White House said President Barack Obama had warned the Defense Department not to "nickel and dime" service members who were victims of fraud by overzealous recruiters.

In a statement issued during a meeting of defense ministers in Brussels, Carter said effort to collect reimbursement should stop "as soon as is practical."

He said he has ordered the department to set up a streamlined process by Jan. 1 to help troops get relief from the repayment obligation, because the current program has moved too slowly.

"This process has dragged on too long, for too many service members," Carter said. "Too many cases have languished without action.

That's unfair to service members and to taxpayers."

The new process will put "as little burden as possible on any soldier who received an improper payment through no fault of his or her own, Carter said. "At the same time, it will respect our important obligation to the taxpayer."

Carter said some of the soldiers knew or should have known that they didn't qualify for the bonuses.

"While some soldiers knew or should have known they were ineligible for benefits they were claiming, many others did not."

U.S. Secretary of Defence, Ash Carter, arrives for a meeting of the North Atlantic Council Defence Ministers session at NATO headquarters in Brussels, Wednesday, Oct. 26, 2016. NATO defence ministers are meeting in Brussels to discuss tense relations with Russia, how to help Middle East nations combat extremism and cooperation between the military alliance and the European Union. (AP Photo/Geert Vanden Wijngaert) The Pentagon hopes to complete all cases by next July 1. About 2,000 members of the National Guard in California have been asked to repay the erroneous payments.

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said he was pleased at the announcement. McCarthy said he spoke with Deputy Defense Secretary Robert Work Tuesday night and told him that veterans "have already given more than what they owe to this nation.

Today's swift action demonstrates that the department agrees."

McCarthy said he will work with other members of Congress to provide a long-term legislative solution so the repayment issue does not recur.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and other members of Congress had urged the Pentagon to suspend efforts to recover the

The Los Angeles Times reported over the weekend that the Pentagon has demanded that some soldiers repay their enlistment bonuses after audits revealed overpayments by the California National Guard.

Guard Repayments

Continued from Page 1 to increase enlistment numbers but were fraudulently filed by the Guard’s incentive manager, retired Master Sgt. Toni Jaffe.

Jaffe reportedly fraudulently filed $15.2 million in claims. She was sentenced to 30 months in prison in 2011 after pleading guilty to filing false claims.

Velis, who is active with the Army Reserves and has served for five years, including seeing combat in Afghanistan, eventually reaching the rank of captain, believes that the money given to the veterans is rightfully theirs. He also said that he has reached out through the Massachusetts Joint Committee on Veteran and Federal Affairs to try and resolve the issue.

The Committee has also reached out to Massachusetts veterans to be certain that none of them have been impacted. If any have been impacted, Velis said that he will fight for them and attempt to pass legislation at the state level immediately.

Velis said that he is also disgusted by members in the California legislature, since they knew about the collections that were happening two years prior to the story being leaked out to the press.

“We need to elect more veterans to office so somebody in this nation can have their back,” Velis said.

Southwick residents wishing to participate should meet three criteria: You own your home, The home was built prior to 1975, Current alarms are at least 10 years old or non-existent To register, please contact the Southwick Council on Aging – 413 569-5498 by October 15, 2016.

The goal of this campaign in Southwick and across the country is to reduce deaths and injuries from home fires by as much as 25 percent over the next four years.

“Seven times a day someone in this country dies in a home fire and we have witnessed that tragedy right here in our community,” said [Mary Nathan, Disaster Program Manager for Western MA]. “Smoke alarms save lives.”

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 newspapers 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.

The Pentagon said late Tuesday that it instructed at most 6,500 California Guard soldiers to repay the enlistment bonuses. That number is lower than a widely reported figure that nearly 10,000 soldiers have been told to repay part or all of their bonuses.

The California Guard said Tuesday it has collected about $22 million from fewer than 2,000 soldiers who improperly received bonuses and student loan aid.

Annette F. Brazee Westfield – Annette F. (Salois) Brazee, 94, passed away on Monday, October 24, 2016 at Westfield Gardens. She was born in Central Falls, R.I. to the late Alfred and Roseanna (LaFleur) Salois. Annette worked as a traffic supervisor for 39 years for the City of Westfield and the Westfield Police Department.

She was a member of the Pioneer Valley Square Dance Club and Saint Mary’s Confraternity of The Holy Rosary, and served on the board of the city’s Credit Union.

She was devoted to her family and offered love and care to all who needed her. Annette’s talents were many including gardening, sewing, knitting, canning, baking, crossword puzzles, genealogy research and home projects working alongside her beloved husband and best friend, Edward.

She also loved spending summers at the family cottage in East Otis.

Annette was predeceased by her husband of 48 years, Edward R. Brazee in 1990, and by her six siblings, William, Leo, Joseph, Raymond and Rene Salois and Doris Perz. She is survived by her loving children, Carol Edwards and her husband Francis, Robert Brazee and his wife Edwina and Gary Brazee and his wife Marie, all of Westfield, five cherished grandchildren, David Edwards, Diane Williams, Michael Edwards, Justin Brazee and Benjamin Brazee and a great grandson, Joshua Williams.

David E. LaPlante WESTFIELD – David E. “Digger” LaPlante, 72, (1944-2016) was called to rest on October 16th after a short illness. He was born on June 3, 1944 in Holyoke and was the son of the late Edward J. LaPlante and Bertha (Czupryna) LaPlante. An auto body man by trade, he had been a manager at Superior Subaru in West Springfield until MS forced him into retirement. Dave was an avid classic car enthusiast. He enjoyed going to car shows and cruises at the Red Rock and Westfield Cruiser, where many friends were made along the way. His pride and joy was a 1953 Ford Convertible he named Alvin. When he found Alvin in a barn, the car was loaded with acorns. After Dave rescued and restored Alvin, she became the beautiful cream puff she is today. His reward, one trophy after another. His other love was his four footed best friend named Lilly. Dave and this blue-eyed black lab husky mix, could be seen walking the neighborhood twice a day. Hot or cold, rain or shine, you could set your clock by them. He enjoyed meeting friends at Mrs. Murphy’s every Wednesday. He will be missed. Dave was a very kind man. He was quiet and shy be nature. Always willing to give a helping hand and expecting nothing in return. Even strangers benefited from his generosity. He is survived by his son Edward, his daughter-in-law Cindy and longtime companion Nancy. His grandchildren, Katie, Nichole and Kyle LaPlante, sister Sally Owens of Nevada and a niece and 3 nephews in Nevada. Relatives and friends are invited to attend a memorial service on October 29th at 2PM in the Firtion Adams, 76 Broad St. Westfield.

Millennials 39% are moderates, with another 31% describing their political views as liberal, and 26% as conservative.

Reported Michelle Diggles Republic 3.0.

This November will be a watershed moment for the American electorate: It will be the first presidential election in which Generation Y—a.k.a.: Millennials— makes up the same proportion of the U.S. voting-age population as the Baby Boomers. In the biggest picture, young people don’t just feel that they have been uniquely disadvantaged by the economy, but also that they are revolutionaries for urgent social rights, particularly for black Americans and gay couples. They sense that they are both America’s impoverished generation and its moral guardians—absent on the payroll, but present at the revolution.

Since 2010, Millennials’ views of the national news media also have grown more negative. In 2010, four-in-ten Millennials said the national news media was having a positive impact on the way things were going in the country, a far more positive view than among older generations (just 27% of Silents and Baby Boomers and 29% of Generation Xers said this).

But now, Millennials’ evaluations of the news media have grown more critical and are currently on par with older generations: Just 27% now say it has a positive impact, compared with 26% of Xers and Silents and 23% of Boomers. Younger generations tend to have more-positive views than their elders about small and large businesses as well as financial institutions and labor unions.

Views of each of these institutions have grown more favorable over the past five years. Hannah Fingerhut of Pew Reseach.

With a spending power hitting trillions of dollars, Millennials are fast becoming a force to be reckoned with in the market. But experts and analysts are raising concerns whether all this power is being used wisely and companies are harnessing that buying power. Sarbjit Nahal, head of Thematic Investing at Bank of America

Adelia “Dee” Derwiecki, 83, of Southampton passed away peacefully at her sister Dorothy D. Florek’s home in Easthampton Saturday Oct. 22, 2016. Born May 29, 1933, the daughter of the late Stephen and Katarzyna (Rogalska) Derwiecki, Adelia was educated in the Southampton Schools and was a graduate of the Easthampton High School. She was employed as an executive secretary to the President of the former Stanley Home Products in Easthampton, retiring in 1996. She was a lifelong communicant of the former Sacred Heart of Jesus Church, now Our Lady of the Valley Parish in Easthampton, and was a member of the Holy Rosary Sodality at the Sacred Heart Church. Adelia leaves her brother Edward Derwiecki of Easthampton, and her nieces and nephews. Adelia was predeceased by her brother Joseph Derwiecki and her sisters Julia Smith, Helen Mills, and Dorothy D. Florek. A calling hour will be held Thursday 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM at the O’Brien Funeral Home 17 Clark St. Easthampton, followed by a graveside service 12 Noon at the St. Stanislaus Cemetery in Easthampton. Memorial gifts can be made to the Cooley Dickinson VNA and Hospice 168 Industrial Dr. Northampton, MA 01060.

Continued from Page 1 Merrill Lynch, told CNBC just how important the spending power of millennials will become in the near future.

“We very much think of this as an American phenomenon but from a demographic perspective, there’s 2 billion millennials around the world and 86 percent of them are living in emerging markets, and in Brazil, India and China they’ve overtaken the number of boomers (born in the postwar years),” Nahal said Monday. Despite the risks of borrowing, many millennials are keen to start up their own

ventures. According to Ethan Senturia, chief executive of DealStruck, which offers small business loans up to $250,000, young people make confident entrepreneurs.

Reported by Holly Ellyatt Europe News.

Generations, like people, have personalities, and Millennials — the American teens and twenty-something’s who are making the passage into adulthood at the start of a new millennium — have begun to forge theirs: confident, self-expressive, liberal, upbeat and open to change.

They are more ethnically and racially diverse than older adults. They’re less religious, less likely to have served in the military, and are on track to become the most educated generation in American history. Millennials have grown up with the internet and smartphones in an always-on digital world. Millennials follow news and information in remarkably different ways than prior generations. They are able to appraise it faster by watching many news resources and have a perceptive as to their ethics.

Bombers extend greatness

By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer WESTFIELD – For the average high school gymnastics teams, the competition is often the toughest task to overcome. Not in the Whip City.

For more than a decade, Westfield has had to perform a balancing act of sorts. On one hand, the Bombers have tried to avoid complacency, while on the other, not becoming consumed with overconfidence, all while improving on the intricacies involved with becoming the very best gymnast possible.

So far this season, it is mission accomplished.

Westfield extended the region’s record all-time winning streak to 167-0 with a first-place finish Tuesday at home.

The Bombers compiled a score of 133.775, defeating Minnechaug (130.95) and Agawam (122.35).

Senior gymnast Liz Walker paved the way for yet another Westfield victory. Walker took home top All-Around honors with an 8.85, finishing first on vault (8.85), uneven bars (8.825), and floor exercise (8.65). She also tied for second on the balance beam with an 8.35.

“After our first meet with a Minnechaug (a narrow victory), I thought it was going to be rough,” Westfield High School gymnastics head coach Bethany Liquori said.

“I’m still not confident that Minnechaug doesn’t have a shot,” she admitted. “We just seem to pull it together when we need to pull it together.”

Miranda Wozniak also proved to be a key contributor to Westfield’s success Tuesday. Wozniak placed second AllAround (8.35), fourth on bars (8.15), and tied for third on floor (8.45).

Other Westfield top three finishers included: Mairead Hagan (bars/2nd/8.55), Caity Daniels (beam/2nd/8.35), Avery Fargharson (vault/3rd/8.25; beam/3rd/8.2), and Carly Thayer (floor/T3rd/8.45).

“Our first meet, (our gymnasts) nailed it, although I don’t feel our scores reflected that,” coach Liquori said. “Nobody fell on the beam, no one fell on the bars. We fell tonight, but we pulled out some nice scores.”

Westfield will get two more chances to prepare for another championship run with a regular season meet on the road against Minnechaug and Hampshire at the Red Raiders’ home gymnasium, and an invitational competition.

Bombers’ Brendon LaForest, Aidan Dunn, Dante White, and Vlad Burnusuz assisted.

Westfield goalie Ian Saltmarsh earned five saves en route to a shutout in net.

“We got the rewards from seniors that work really hard in training but don’t necessarily get to see the field too much with some quality minutes in a game that we needed to win, and they all performed very well,” Westfield coach Andrew Joseph said.

Millionaires shut out Rams Lenox 2, Southwick 0 Lenox scored one goal in each half to down host Southwick. Rams’ goalie Nick Chambers made one save.

Dear Annie

By ANNIE LANE

Watch It, You Idiot!

Dear Annie: My husband and I often take car trips together up and down the East Coast to visit family. When my husband gets angry at other drivers, his temperament changes completely from fun-loving to someone who is going to “teach people a lesson.” He gives dirty looks and cusses them out. Other drivers often honk at him or yell. He thinks he’s a great driver.

Anyway, today I told him he was being a butt to the other drivers.

He became profane and told me what I could do with my opinions.

I waited a few minutes before telling him I did not feel I deserved his language. He said he didn’t care. I know that I called him a butt first, but was I wrong to say that I did not want to be in the car with him any longer? He refuses to let me drive.

I have been suggesting marriage counseling because he mimics me when he is angry, but so far, he is too busy. I have avoided being in the car with him as much as possible. He says I am being too paranoid and judgmental of his driving. I disagree. What do you think? -- Buckled Up Dear Buckled: Not paranoid, just smart. Your husband needs to address his road rage problem before he hurts someone with his aggressive driving (or flips off the wrong driver and ends up in a fight).

Ask whether he’d be willing to let you record him in the car sometime. Then play it back to him a few days later, when he’s at home and calm. For many people, it’s enough of a wake-up call just to hear how they sound when they’re in road rage mode.

I would also encourage him to seek anger management treatment before marriage counseling, as this seems to be less a problem between you and more a problem between him and himself.

Dear Annie: I am in my late 70s, and I am distraught at my friends who drive but are so infirm that they can barely move their legs or their necks. To see something to the side, they have to twist their upper body because of stiffness in their neck.

But they all drive. There is no way their legs could quickly move up and over to their brake. I will leave to another time their ability to hear a horn or see a running child.

My plea is to the middle-aged child. Look at your parents! Assess their flexibility and alertness. Be their passenger if you dare. Every one of us is meeting them on the streets, and we are terrified. You know these good people don’t want to kill anyone, but is that what you are waiting for?

Please take their car away when the need becomes obvious -- not because of age but because of increasing infirmity. It is only going to get worse. -- Scared of My Friends Dear Scared: Thank you for raising this important issue. It’s understandable that after a lifetime of driving, people are reluctant to give up the keys, but after you turn 70, the risk of being injured or killed in a motor vehicle crash increases as you age.

Some states have taken legislative measures intended to prevent seniors who are not fit to drive from getting behind the wheel, such as disallowing the renewal of driver’s licenses by mail after a certain age. But many states don’t have such laws. That makes it all the more important for adult children, as you mentioned, or other loved ones to get involved.

The Department of Motor Vehicles suggests the following tips to seniors who are still eligible to drive and would like to continue doing so safely: --Exercising regularly to increase strength and flexibility.

--Asking your doctor to review medicines to reduce side effects and interactions.

--Having your eyes checked by an eye doctor at least once a year.

--Driving during daylight and in good weather.

Stay safe out there.

HINTS FROM HELOISE FREEZING GARLIC HAS ‘A-PEEL’ Dear Heloise: This may be a hint that many are aware of already, but it is new to me: freezing entire BULBS OF GARLIC. I never realized how much easier it makes the garlic to peel, because the skin falls right off! It’s also easier to slice when it’s so cold. Finally, you can remove as many cloves as you need and simply refreeze the rest for use another day. No more wasted garlic that has gone bad. -- Ellen P., via email You can freeze garlic bulbs (whole), or you can chop it and wrap it in a plastic freezer-safe bag or plastic wrap. With garlic as an ingredient in so many dishes, it makes sense to keep some in the freezer. -- Heloise SOUP STOCK Dear Heloise: I like to make chicken and turkey stock in large quantities. I remove grease from the stock by placing slices of bread on top when the soup has slightly cooled. Once the grease is absorbed, I can lift out the bread onto a plate, grease and all. -- Paula K. in Florida Great hint, and soup stock is a staple food to keep stored in the freezer (especially this time of year as the weather gets cooler).

Would you like to try some of my closest friends’ and family’s soup recipes?

AP Power Rankings: Patriots take No. 1 spot NEW YORK (AP) — With Tom Brady back at quarterback, the New England Patriots once again lead the NFL in wins.

And because of that, they also lead the latest AP Pro32 poll , which was released Tuesday.

The Patriots received all 12 first-place votes for 384 points from balloting by media members who regularly cover the NFL. "Best record in the league, best point differential in the league and the best coach-quarterback tandem in the history of the league. Any questions?" said Ira Kaufman of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The Patriots (6-1) have won all three games since Brady's return from his "Deflategate" suspension to start the season.

And on Sunday, the Patriots face the Buffalo Bills on the road in a rematch of their only loss of the season, a 16-0 shutout in Week 4.

The Dallas Cowboys moved up two spots to No. 2 despite having a bye last week.

And the Seattle Seahawks remained at No. 3 after their 6-6 tie against Arizona on Sunday night.

"They have not averaged under 100 yards rushing per game since Pete Carroll's first season in Seattle in 2010," said Charean Williams of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

The defending champion Denver Broncos also moved up two spots to No. 4 after their 27-9 win over former teammate Brock Osweiler and the Houston Texans.

"John Elway is right.

Sometimes the best deals

Broncos trade for Patriots backup tight end Derby ENGLEWOOD, Colo.

(AP) — The Denver Broncos traded a 2017 fifth-round pick to the rival New England Patriots in exchange for tight end A.J. Derby.

To make room, they released veteran safety Shiloh Keo for the second time this season.

Derby was a sixth-round draft pick out of Arkansas last year and has played in four games for the Patriots this season after spending his rookie season on IR. Playing behind Rob Gronkowski and Martellus Bennett, Derby played just 36 snaps. But his preseason production — 15 receptions for 189 yards, a TD — is roughly what the Broncos’ tight ends have managed this season.

Virgil Green, John Phillips and Jeff Heuerman have a combined 17 catches for 183 yards and a touchdown.

Broncos GM John Elway called Derby “a young tight end who can help us immediately.”

This is the second consecutive year that Elway has acquired a tight end just before the trade deadline. Last year it was veteran Vernon Davis, who ended up not helping them out as much as they’d hoped. He caught 20 passes for 201 yards in the regular season but had zero receptions in the playoffs.

are the ones you don't make.

Case in point: Brock Osweiler turning down Denver's offer to take the cash in Houston," Newsday's Bob Glauber said.

"The Broncos' GM watches bargain-basement QB Trevor Siemian get the best of Osweiler in a resounding Monday night win."

The Minnesota Vikings dropped four spots to No. 5 after suffering their first loss, which came against the Philadelphia Eagles, who jumped six spots to No. 6 after the 21-10 win.

The Eagles face the Cowboys on Sunday night in

a key NFC East matchup.

"Dak Prescott vs. Carson Wentz for control of the NFC East, just like the schedulemakers drew it up," said Jenny Vrentas of The Monday Morning Quarterback.

The Kansas City Chiefs (AFC West) and Green Bay Packers (NFC North) each moved up three spots, to No. 7 and No. 8, after wins last week.

The Oakland Raiders, tied for first place with Denver in the division, jumped four spots to No. 9 to give the AFC West three teams in the top 10.

DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Oct. 26, 2016: This year you might want to follow your instincts, with the knowledge that even if you make a mistake, you will land well. Transformation becomes possible if you are willing to be more open and understanding of others’ perceptions.

Networking plays a big role in your personal and professional lives. If you are single, choosing Mr. or Ms. Right will be much harder than meeting the right person for now. Be careful, as someone you meet might be emotionally unavailable.

If you are attached, the two of you enjoy your private time. Plan on scheduling frequent getaways together. VIRGO knows how to get you to agree to his or her good ideas.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Pace yourself. Several close loved ones or associates support you in an unprecedented way. Your fiery style will show a key person what kind of adversary you are capable of being. This person might consider backing off in response. Tonight: Recognize your limits.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Your creativity emerges when dealing with a child who can be headstrong. Your imagination will help reduce someone’s resistance to your ideas. Continue being mellow, yet listen to what is being presented. Don’t get into petty discussions. Tonight: A midweek break.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You might not want to go out of your way to make an impression on others right now. Deal positively with the prospect of change.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Speak your mind, but choose your words carefully. If you don’t take yourself seriously, why would anyone else? Be aware of your power, and support yourself as you head in a chosen direction. Don’t push so hard to maximize impulsiveness. Tonight: Chat with friends.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HH Curb an innate possessiveness that sometimes emerges when dealing with associates or friends. You might need to stop and consider your assets more carefully. You have much more going for you than you realize. Don’t push yourself so hard. Tonight: Kick up your heels.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Remain upbeat. Know that you are capable of transformation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Take the lead, and don’t worry so much about others’ responses. Your finances might need more flexibility than you have available. You easily could overcommit or overspend. Use good sense and self-discipline. Friends play a big role in your day. Tonight: Only where the action is.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You have a lot of energy; tapping into it could point to achieving a goal. Your mood totally changes when you realize you are on the verge of success. A boss likes how you handle yourself, even if he or she doesn’t verbalize his or her thoughts. Tonight: Read between the lines.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Deal with others directly, and be willing to make a change that a partner feels is necessary. Avoid a disagreement.

Take time to listen to someone else’s point of view. Do not suppress your anger; otherwise, a bigger problem could emerge. Tonight: Choose to be with a

LEGAL NOTICES October 19, 26, 2016 November 2, 2016 NOTICE OF MORTGAGEE'S SALE OF REAL ESTATE Premises: 903 Western Avenue, Westfield, Massachusetts

2016-17 Boston Celtics Schedule

By DOUG ALDEN Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Charlie Coyle, Chris Stewart and the Minnesota Wild just needed time to capitalize against Boston's emergency goalie tandem.

Coyle and Stewart scored 12 seconds apart during a fourgoal second period, Devan Dubnyk made 27 saves and the Wild beat the Bruins 5-0 on Tuesday night.

"That first period was ugly.

We thought it was going to be a The Associated Press long night if we kept playing All Times Eastern like that," said Ryan Suter, who Oct. 26 Brooklyn, 7:30 p.m. also scored. "We knew that we had more and we finally started Oct. 27 at Chicago, 8 p.m. to play the way we needed to Oct. 29 at Charlotte, 7 p.m. play."

Nov. 2 Chicago, 8 p.m.

Goals by Coyle and Stewart rattled the short-handed Bruins, Nov. 3 at Cleveland, 8 p.m. who entered the game missing Nov. 6 Denver, 7:30 p.m.

Tuukka Rask (lower body) and Nov. 9 at Washington, 7 p.m.

Anton Khudobin (right arm/ Nov. 11 New York, 7:30 p.m. wrist).

Malcolm Subban made his Nov. 12 at Indiana, 7 p.m. second career start but was Nov. 14 at New Orleans, 8 p.m. pulled after allowing three Nov. 16 Dallas, 7:30 p.m. goals on 16 shots. He was replaced by Zane McIntyre, Nov. 18 Golden State, 8 p.m. who made his NHL debut just Nov. 19 at Detroit, 7 p.m. hours after being called up Nov. 21 at Minnesota, 8 p.m. from AHL Providence.

Nov. 23 at Brooklyn, 7:30 p.m.

Dubnyk got his 20th career shutout and the first for the Nov. 25 San Antonio, 1 p.m.

Wild this season.

Nov. 28 at Miami, 7:30 p.m.

"That's what we're looking Nov. 30 Detroit, 7:30 p.m. for on the road," Dubnyk said.

"We played hard. We got scorDec. 2 Sacramento, 7:30 p.m. ing chances. We outscored Dec. 3 at Philadelphia, 7:30 p.m. them. We were just doing a lot Dec. 5 at Houston, 8 p.m. of good things."

Subban started but was Dec. 7 at Orlando, 7 p.m. pulled after Suter's power-play Dec. 9 Toronto, 7:30 p.m. goal 10:36 into the second periDec. 11 at Oklahoma City, 7 p.m. od put Minnesota up 3-0.

Dec. 14 at San Antonio, 9:30 p.m.

McIntyre took over and finished the rest of the game, stopDec. 16 Charlotte, 7:30 p.m. ping 15 of 17 shots.

Dec. 18 at Miami, 6 p.m.

With starter Rask day-to-day Dec. 20 at Memphis, 8 p.m. and Khudobin out for several weeks, Boston coach Claude Dec. 22 at Indiana, 8 p.m.

Julien said the Bruins didn't Dec. 23 Oklahoma City, give their youngest goalies 7:30 p.m. much help.

"I don't care who's in net," Dec. 25 at New York, 12 p.m.

Julien said "I think when you Dec. 27 Memphis, 7:30 p.m. have some injuries you need to Dec. 29 at Cleveland, 8 p.m. be better in those situations and Dec. 30 Miami, 7:30 p.m. we weren't good enough tonight."

Jan. 3 Utah, 7:30 p.m.

Jason Zucker had a goal and Jan. 6 Philadelphia, 7:30 p.m. two assists, Suter added an Jan. 7 New Orleans, 7:30 p.m. assist and rookie Joel Eriksson Ek got his first three NHL Jan. 10 at Toronto, 7:30 p.m. assists. Jason Pominville Jan. 11 Washington, 8 p.m. scored in the third period.

Jan. 13 at Atlanta, 8 p.m.

The Wild broke the scoreless tie 5:07 into the second when Jan. 16 Charlotte, 7:30 p.m.

Coyle tapped in his own Jan. 18 New York, 7:30 p.m. rebound, then Minnesota struck Jan. 21 Portland, 5 p.m. again when Zucker slipped a Jan. 24 at Washington, 7 p.m. pass from behind the net to Stewart, who hit a one-timer Jan. 25 Houston, 7:30 p.m. past Subban to put the Wild up Jan. 27 Orlando, 7:30 p.m.

2-0.

Jan. 28 at Milwaukee, 8 p.m.

"To add on like that was important because we didn't Jan. 30 Detroit, 8 p.m. have a letdown," Suter said.

Feb. 1 Toronto, 7:30 p.m.

"We got one and then we kept Feb. 3 L.A. Lakers, 8 p.m. building on to that."

Feb. 5 L.A. Clippers, 2 p.m.

Boston defenseman Adam Feb. 11 at Utah, 10 p.m.

McQuaid was called for cross checking.

Feb. 13 at Dallas, 8:30 p.m.

Fans mocked Subban's Feb. 15 Philadelphia, 7:30 p.m. struggles by cheering McIntyre Feb. 16 at Chicago, 8 p.m. after a routine stop, but there was little else to cheer on the Feb. 24 at Toronto, 7:30 p.m. night. Zucker took a pass from Feb. 26 at Detroit, 6 p.m.

Suter with 3:21 left in the secFeb. 27 Atlanta, 7:30 p.m. ond to give the Wild a 4-0 lead March 1 Cleveland, 8 p.m. after two.

"You look at what you could March 3 at L.A. Lakers, have done and you can't dwell 10:30 p.m. over it," Subban said. "I've got March 5 at Phoenix, 5 p.m. to keep working through it.

That's all you can really do."

March 6 at L.A. Clippers, Notes: Subban's only previ10:30 p.m. ous NHL experience was a start March 8 at Golden State, at St. Louis on Feb. 20, 2015, when he was pulled early in the Can You Help Sarah?10:30 p.m. second period after allowing March 10 at Denver, 9 p.m. three goals on six shots. ...

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 newspapers 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.
