Food drive Monday at the Technical Academy

By AMY PORTER Correspondent WESTFIELD – The Westfield Public Schools will hold their first Food Drive on Monday in conjunction with WSKI 89.5 FM, Westfield State’s community radio, and facilitated by the Westfield Technical Academy.

Donations may be dropped off from 6 a.m. – 3 p.m. at the Technical Academy’s Tiger’s Pride restaurant/Gymnasium Entrance, where students will be on hand to assist. WSKB will be broadcasting live throughout the drive at Tiger’s Pride, with several guest hosts, including Bob Plasse, Bo Sullivan, and The Westfield News’ Patrick Berry at noon.

“We thought this would be a great way to rally the community as a whole, which Westfield does very well, and to fill an urgent need,” said Brent Bean, director of Advancement and University Relations at Westfield State, which is supporting the effort.

According to Stefan Czaporowski, principal of Westfield Technical Academy, the Thanksgiving food items that are being requested will be boxed and delivered Monday evening and Tuesday to area families in need.

“I’ve received requests for 25 boxes from two elementary schools, and I know of 18 families from Westfield Technical Academy,” Czaporowski said. “I haven’t heard from the other schools yet.”

Perishable items being requested include eggs, butter, turkey, carrots, pota-

toes and milk. Canned goods include peas, gravy, carrots, cranberry sauce, tuna, peanut butter, pasta sauce and juice. Also needed are stuffing, cake mix, dinner rolls, instant potatoes, rice, cereal, oatmeal, beans and noodles. People may also donate gift cards to local grocery stores.

One of the student groups assisting will be Rachel’s Challenge, a group of twelve students committed to kindness. The group will assemble the meals, and help to deliver them on Tuesday. “They’re a great group,” Czaporowski said.

The Westfield Food Pantry is also preparing food boxes for the effort.

Czaporowski said any perishable items that aren’t used will be donated back to the Food Pantry.

Remaining non-perishable items will go to food pantries in the Westfield schools. At least six schools have food pantries in them, including South Middle School, which started one this year.

“What we collect from this will help all of them,” he said.

In addition to the food items being requested, personal care items such as toilet paper, laundry soap, dish soap, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrushes and feminine hygiene products are always needed.

“We have a 54 percent free and reduced meal population here,” Czaporowski said.

“We have these families, and we want to help them.”

“The community gives so much to our school, we want to give back,” he said.

Superintendent Scallion responds to high school principal’s absence

By HOPE E. TREMBLAY Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Westfield Schools Superintendent Suzanne Scallion said she was proud of the way students handled themselves during a walkout at the high school Thursday morning.

Students staged a peaceful protest and walked out of class at 9 a.m. to show support for Westfield High School Principal Dennis Duquette, who was placed on leave Wednesday.

Scallion said students were respectful and she appreciated their support for Duquette.

The reason they thought he was placed on leave had nothing to do with the situation.

“It is not about the dog donation,” she said.

Parents and students speculated on social media that

Athletic and recreational facility bond approved

By DAN MORIARTY Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The City Council narrowly approved a $1.8 million bond Thursday night that will be used to rehabilitate recreational and athletic facilities across the city after nearly five months of discussion.

Former Mayor Daniel M. Knapik submitted a bond request of $4 million bond, on May 7, 2015, to improve athletic fields and recreational facilities, which was opposed by a significant number of councilors who requested Knapik to submit a more moderate bond figure Knapik then revised the bond and sent the $1.8 million bond request to the council on June, which the council sent back to the mayor to change the language of the bond authorization.

At-large Councilor Brent B. Bean II, chairman of the Finance Committee, requested that Knapik submit a “gender neutral” bond request which would be used for a wide range of facilities supporting both male and female activities.

Knapik sent that bond authorization, with the revised authorization language, which was approved last night by a 9-4 vote. Bond authorization requires approval by a minimum of nine councilors.

The discussion last night, in particular among councilors who voted against the bond, is that there are other needs which should have a higher priority for funding.

At-large Councilor Cindy Harris was the first council to state she would vote against the recreational and athletic bond.

“I’m sympathetic to this,” Harris said. “But we need a roads program, that what people were asking for while I was campaigning. So until we have a roads program I will not vote to approve this bond.”

Ward 5 Councilor Robert A. Paul Sr., also said that there are a number of other needs which should be addressed as higher priorities than the athletic and recreational bond.

Paul said that the School Department needs money for infra

quite what he was when he recognizes himself.”

“No man remains

SUZANNE SCALLION Westfield Schools Superintendent Duquette’s swift departure was because of a gofundme. com account students established in Duquette’s name to help pay for surgery for his dog Jake, a therapy dog who spends time at the high school.

Duquette announced last

Friday that he was not able to accept the donation and he and Jake would like to donate the money to the animal shelter.

Parents posted online that they believed a teacher at the school reported Duquette for not making the donation faster.

Scallion said that is not true and the reason for his leave is “confidential.”

Scallion said while social media can be a great tool, it can also be detrimental to a situation.

“In this case it was destructive and hurt people,” she said.

Scallion touted Duquette’s abilities to lead the high school.

“I have every confidence in Mr. Duquette,” she said. “He is a great motivator and confidence builder and he has

skills needed at the high school.”

Scallion also said rumors of his termination are unfounded.

“Mr. Duquette will be back in school on Monday,” she said.

Scallion said several lessons should be taken from the events of the past two days.

One is that the students were respectful and she was happy to see them rally together for Duquette.

“It was a beautiful gesture that they care about their principal and support him,” she said.

The other lesson is that social media can be damaging when people express feelings about unsubstantiated events.

“It’s not healthy for anybody and it could hurt somebody,” she said. “We want to set a good example.”

By AMY PORTER Correspondent BLANDFORD – Blandford residents rejected the Gateway budget for the fourth time this year at a special town meeting Thursday evening.

The town’s Select Board and Finance Committee recommended a no vote on Article 1 to raise an additional $25,213 to meet the revised assessment for the town following the receipt of mitigation funds, contingent on an override of Proposition 2 ½. The article was defeated 68 to 23 votes.

The meeting started tensely when Finance Committee member Tony van Werkhooven asked David Hopson, Gateway superintendent, to step down as the Moderator due to the subject of the article. Hopson said he “respectfully declined,” stating that having studied the bylaws he received no personal gain either way the vote went.

Hopson then continued as moderator.

A motion was then made from the floor to amend the See Gateway, Page 3

Council approves Boise Cascade TIF

By DAN MORIARTY Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The City Council voted to approve a tax increment financing package for construction of a 85,000 square-foot warehouse and a 12,000-square foot office area off Union Street needed for expansion of the Boise Cascade BMD building material distribution facility.

The property owner, Ronald Schortmann, plans to invest $6 million to construct the new storage facility, while Boise will invest another $600,000 in equipment. Schortmann and Boise are currently negotiating a 20-year lease for the existing facility, as well as the new facility.

Boise currently has a workforce of 69 full-time employees and plans to add another 19 employees when the new facility is constructed.

Ward 6 Councilor Christopher Crean, a member of the Finance Committee, said the five year tax increment financing package will immediately increase revenue for the city. Under the terms of the TIF, Schortmann will continue to pay full taxes on the existing facility and will begin to pay taxes on the new facility next year when it is completed.

Crean said that it is a win-win package for both the city and one of the larger employers in the city. Schortmann/ Boise will pay tax based upon 10 percent of the value of the new buildings the first year, 25 percent in the second year, 50 percent in year three, 75 percent in year four and 90 percent in year five.

That package will provide a total saving over the five year to Boise of $226,057, but will also yield new tax revenue to the city of $297,935. Schortmann’s property value will be increase by $2,606,600 based upon the value of the new buildings.

“The city will continue to collect all of the current (property) taxes and will get 10 percent of the new facility for the start of the agreement, so taxpayers are not paying for this agreement,” said Ward 2 Councilor Ralph Figy.

“At the end of the day, there is a substantial net gain (of revenue) for the city,” said At-large Councilor Matthew VanHeynigen.

At-large Councilor Cindy Harris said she opposed giving See TIF, Page 3

WESTFIELD — On Saturday, November 14, 2015, over 100 unit members and about 10 F-15 Eagle aircraft returned home to the 104th Fighter Wing, Barnes Air National Guard Base, Westfield, Mass., after a twoweek deployment in support of the United States Air Force Weapons School located at Nellis Air Force Base, Las Vegas, Nevada.

The USAF Weapons School teaches graduate-level instructor courses to elite tacticians, and provides the world’s most Photo by Senior Master Sgt. Robert advanced training in weapons employment SabonisSmall RSS Icon to officers of the combat air forces. Several pilots assigned to the 104th Fighter Wing are top-flight Weapons School graduates.

The 104th Fighter Wing’s participation helped train the next generation, while keeping 104th Fighter Wing on the cutting edge. This approximately two week long deployment allowed unit members the opportunity to practice deployment and redeployment procedures as well as train at a deployed location by performing their military duties.

The 104th Fighter Wing is a Wing assigned to the Massachusetts National Guard and Air Combat Command. The Wing is equipped with the F-15 Eagle and supports worldwide overseas operations, homeland operations, domestic response, security cooperation and international strategic partnerships. One homeland mission of the 104th Fighter Wing is the Aerospace Control Alert (ACA) - providing armed F-15 fighters ready to scramble in a moment’s notice to protect the Northeast from any airborne threat. The Wing is responsible for protecting a quarter of the nation’s population and one third of the Gross Domestic Product.

Woman accused of prostitution says she offered ‘free fun’ MOUNT JOY, Pa. (AP) — A central Pennsylvania woman accused of running a prostitution service out of her home says she charged only for massages, and that any sex that occurred with clients afterward was just “free fun.”

Thirty-two-year-old Crystal Sweigart faces a preliminary hearing Dec. 18 on charges she was operating illegally.

But the Mount Joy woman, who posted ads offering “massage and stress relief” says she charged $50 for massages, but didn’t solicit payment for sex.

She says anything that happened when the massage stopped becomes two consenting adults having fun. Sweigart went on to explain that she’s simply an “openminded, sexual person who connected with men who were unfulfilled.”

Police have also charged a man and another woman who, they say, operated a Craigslist page used to advertise for Sweigart’s clients.

the TIF to a corporation which had gross sales of more than a billion dollars and that a national company should not need an incentive to improve their business model.

At-large Councilor David A. Flaherty said he would also vote against the TIF. “We are in a financial situation where we can’t pass the cost of this TIF on to the taxpayers,” Flaherty said. “This is not a make or break deal for Boise.”

Ward 5 Councilor Robert A. Paul argued that the reason Boise and other companies want to be located in Westfield has nothing to do with the TIF- it is the advantages that the city, with its infrastructure, provide to those companies.

Paul said that the energy costs in Westfield are among the most advantageous in the state, that the city is located at the crossroads of major transportation routes, that access to rail, especially in Boise’s business operation, provides an incentive to locate in the city. Paul also cited the quality of education and the quality of life for employees and their families in the city.

The council approved the TIF by a vote of 11-2, with Harris and Flaherty voting against approval.

article to transfer the $25,213 amount from the stabilization fund.

Select Board and Finance Committee member Andy Montanaro objected to the motion, questioning whether it would change the content and character of the article. Hopson responded that he had stepped out to consult with the town counsel, who said it was OK. Several speakers said they objected to using the stabilization fund for operating expenses for the school.

“At the last meeting, we talked about some of the infrastructure needs of the town,” said van Werkhooven. “Secondly, the Finance Committee prepared a handout that makes it clear that the School Committee has made no effort to reduce its costs for 2016 other than those directly attributable to Worthington’s withdrawal. You can expect a very significant increase in the Gateway budget for next year.”

“If the article as written goes down, DESE (the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education) will set a budget Dec. 1 which could be more, less, or the same amount,” said School Committee representative Michele Crane. “Once that happens, we will lose local control of the budget.”

“We really feel at this time that the worst case scenario is not to have DESE come in,” said Finance Committee chair Linda Smith. “They would come in, and we would explain our situation. As for control, thhe towns have no control. We have nothing to lose. They would also review the school, to see where they might make cuts.”

The motion to amend failed.

“I think the School Committee should be commended for not buckling to the tremendous pressure they’ve been under to lower the budget,” said resident Jim Kronholm during the discussion on the article.

“It has never been our intention to take money away from the kids and what impacts them,” Smith said. “There is no harm, no foul in voting down the budget at this time. The school will get their money.”

Hopson then asked if the article were passed, when the override would be scheduled. The town clerk responded that it would be impossible to schedule a 2 ½ override by Dec. 1.

“Therefore, whether you pass or fail it, DESE will take over,” Hopson said.

“If DESE says we’ll get the 1 1/12th budget (currently in place), will Blandford have to come up with the $25,000 we’re talking about tonight?” another resident asked.

“Technically speaking, there

are three answers,” Hopson said. “They could listen to the towns and school and ask Gateway to reduce the budget, or keep it at the 1 1/12th budget, or raise the budget.”

He said the third option was unlikely, but “any which way” the towns and the school would be obligated to comply. The motion was then moved and a paper ballot taken.

The no vote by Blandford follows rejections of the budget by Russell (36-21) on Wednesday, and Chester (9-8) on Monday.

Huntington, Middlefield and Montgomery passed the budget, but four towns are needed to approve it.

Following the meeting, Hopson said DESE now has only one week to set the budget

by Dec. 1 as required in the bylaws. He said every transfer of money, all budgeting issues and negotiated settlements will have to be approved by the state for the remainder of the fiscal year.

structure repair, such as roofs and air conditioning systems, and that there is a need to improve technology system-wide in that department.

“There is a remedy,” Paul said. “There is a $4.2 million bond sitting on the mayor’s desk to fix school infrastructure and get new technology. There is no way I will support this $1.8 million bond. We have the ability to quickly get that $4.2 million bond through (the council).”

Council President and Mayor-elect Brian Sullivan said that he investigated his authority as acting mayor and that he can not submit a bond until he is sworn

into office in January.

At-large Councilor David A. Flaherty, who voted in support of the $1.8 million bond package, said that there is a need for “maintenance of lots of thing, but this (bond) is a good investment. We’ve gone 20 years without fixing bathrooms (at athletic and recreational facilities) that don’t work.” ”We’ve just invested between $35 and $40 million over the last several years in our schools,” Flaherty said. “This is a high priority. I can’t see holding it up any longer.”

At-large Councilor Bean said that he is

“in complete support” of the revised bond.

“I held this back to discuss gender equality which has been addressed,” he said.

Harris, Paul, At-large Councilor Matthew VanHeynigen and Ward 1 Councilor Christopher Keefe voted against the bond. Sullivan, At-large Councilor James R. Adams, Bean, Ward 6 Councilor Christopher Crean, Ward 2 Councilor Ralph Figy, Flaherty, Ward 3 Councilor Brian Hoose and Ward 4 Councilor Mary O’Connell voted to approve the package.

Senate Approves Veterans Bills Five bills related to veterans approved before legislative recess BOSTON The Massachusetts State Senate passed legislation last night aimed at addressing a number of issues related to the Commonwealth’s veterans, ranging from the criminalization of fraudulent claims of military service to providing Purple Heart recipients with free access to the states’ parks and reservations.

“I was proud to join my colleagues in the Legislature in taking action to further protect the honor of the men and women of our armed services who have put life and limb on the line and to commemorate those who paid the ultimate sacrifice,” said Senator Don Humason. “Massachusetts is first in the nation when it comes to providing benefits for and supporting our veterans and their families, and today we continued that tradition.”

The Senate approved the following bills: H.1641, The Stolen Valor Act criminalizes the practice of falsely representing oneself as military personnel, a veteran or a recipient of specific military honors in order to receive money, property or a tangible benefit. This crime would be punishable by a fine of $1,000 and imprisonment of not more than one year.

H.3243, An Act providing free park access to Purple Heart recipients waives entrance or parking fees at state parks, forests, and reservations for recipients of the Purple Heart. Under current law, only disabled veterans or handicapped persons whose vehicles bear distinctive license plates are allowed free access to these public spaces.

Michael McCabe tried calling Scott Marek on behalf of one of the victims, but Scott Marek was not calling back.

tive flag holders makes it illegal to remove commemorative flag holders on the graves of veterans and members of police and fire departments.

H.1306, An Act relative to veterans' grave markers criminalizes the sale of veterans’ grave markers. Some grave markers are made of metals with a resale value, which can

make them a target of scrap metal theft.

H.1600, An Act providing further penalties for intentional loss or damage to a gravestone or other gravemarker requires individuals convicted of defacing desecrating a grave stone to pay restitution to the owner of the property.

The five bills have been

enacted by both branches of the Legislature and will be sent to the Governor for his approval.

The Senate will continue to hold frequent informal sessions through the end of the year to advance bills that do not require debate or roll call votes. The Senate will resume formal sessions in January.

COMMENT

I attended Dr. Brown’s lecture on 1950s downtown Westfield.

It was TERRIFIC. Our City Leaders should have been there.

They could have learned a lot.

Can we finally get Representative John Velis off veterans’ issues for a minute and onto more important and pressing subjects like feeding the poor and disabled more adequately than the State of Massachusetts presently is?

I would like to commend this paper, the Westfield news, for their reporting of the high school debacle. While other news reporters jumped on the incorrect information circulating on social media, Hope Tremblay from the Westfield news did a remarkable job sifting through the nonsense to get the true story. Her latest interview with the superintendent was perfect.

The whole situation at the high school was a personnel matter that was no business of any student, teacher or parent. Well done Westfield news. Thank you. Thank you very much. Our reporting method is to get all the facts and let the readers decide. We appreciate your support!

While I enjoy Facebook to keep in touch with friends and family who are now all over the country, I am always dismayed at the rush to judgment of individuals based on incorrect information seen online. The principal Duquette issue this week was just one example of rumors fueled by misinformation. I implore everyone to check your facts before posting something. Fortunately, in the big scheme of things, this was a minor issue. I am unnerved by the thought of someone incorrectly claiming another did a heinous crime and destroying that life wrongly.

Fed pushes back as Congress eyes its billions Congress is aiming to take billions out of the Fed’s accounts to help pay for a new highway and transit bill.

By ZACHARY WARMBRODT Politico.com Even as members of Congress are slamming the Federal Reserve for being too political with its monetary policy, they are plotting to use the central bank as a government piggy bank.

Congress is aiming to take billions out of the Fed’s accounts to help pay for a new highway and transit bill, but the Fed is balking, registering “strong concerns about using the resources of the Federal Reserve to finance fiscal spending.”

But members of Congress who consider the Fed money to be the only politically feasible way to fund a long-term transportation bill are wondering why the central bank didn’t try to stir up opposition sooner. The Fed has clearly been in Congress’s cross hairs since at least July.

Congress has until Dec. 4 to vote on a bill, whether it be a longterm deal or another temporary patch. The broad outlines of a deal could be announced as soon as Friday.

“I don’t know if it was sticking their head in the sand or if they were feeling like they somehow needed to be neutral on this, but they’re certainly not neutral or quiet on a number of other things,” said Rep. Bill Huizenga, a Republican from Michigan. “I didn’t quite get it.”

There may be no going back. For lawmakers from both parties who have been scouring the budget for offsets, siphoning off money from a Fed backstop account and cutting a dividend the Fed pays to banks are attractive options.

And lawmakers and aides say that the Fed had earlier indicated — behind the scenes — that it preferred a raid of the surplus account to pay for highways over the dividends proposal. Draining the $29 billion account set aside to absorb possible losses is a small cut compared to the Fed’s $4 trillion balance sheet.

“For the Federal Reserve to be saying this impinges upon their integrity, etc., etc. — you know, it’s absurd,” said Rep. Peter DeFazio, the top Democrat on the House transportation committee.

“This is a body that creates money out of nothing.”

The Fed’s tactic of quietly objecting appears likely to leave the central bank on the chopping block.

Between mid-July, when it emerged that the Senate was eyeing the Fed for highway funds, and early November, when the House passed its own Fed drawdown, the Fed did little to direct public attention to the issue as it worked in private with Congress. In a statement, a spokesman for the Federal Reserve Board of Governors said board members and staff shared their concerns in “extensive conversations with both members of Congress and congressional staff.”

Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen first reacted publicly in July as the Senate considered raising billions for roads by cutting the dividends banks earn on capital they pay into the Federal Reserve, which has a system of regional outposts across the country. During July 16 testimony at the Senate Banking Committee, she said she’d be concerned that reducing the dividend “could have unintended consequences for banks’ willingness to be part of the Federal Reserve system.”

The Senate passed the bill July 30, over the objections of the Fed and of banks, who were livid about the prospect of losing the payments.

When the House took up the issue, Texas Republican Randy Neugebauer was unhappy that the Senate proposal would penalize banks and also raise some housing fees, so he and his staff dusted off a proposal they’d once developed for another bill that would tap the Fed’s capital surplus in a one-time withdrawal to satisfy House spending rules.

Because of the “goofy budgetary process” in the House, he said, See Transit Bill, Page 5

White House scrambles to regain control of refugee debate Democrats who voted for an anti-refugee bill complain the Obama administration has failed so far to make its case.

By SARAH WHEATON Politico.com The White House, caught flat-footed this week as President Barack Obama visited Asia, is scrambling to regain control of the debate on allowing Syrian refugees into the U.S. and to slow legislation that it says would be against American values.

In the days since a group of attackers unleashed a night of terror in Paris, Republicans have zeroed in on the threat that Syrian refugees could pose if fighters from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant slipped in with them and have fast-tracked legislation that would tighten the screening process.

Dozens of Democrats, fearful of voting against such security measures, have joined the GOP effort, and they're publicly grumbling about subpar messaging from the White House.

But now the Obama administration has cranked up a multifront effort to halt the legislation and try to reclaim the conversation around the thousands of refugees who were due to be resettled in the U.S. next year.

Vice President Joe Biden, who has kept a relatively low profile since announcing he’s not entering the 2016 presidential race, used sharp language Thursday to warn that the United States' promise of possibility and optimism, including toward those seeking refuge, is slipping away and endangering the country's "soul."

“It’s always been true in this country. And if we ever lose that, then we will have lost something incredibly special and consequential here in the United States. We’ll have lost the soul of the country, and I would argue we’re in danger of losing it now. That’s why I’m here," Biden said during a speech in front of the Aspen Institute Summit on Inequality and Opportunity at the Newseum in Washington.

Attorney General Loretta Lynch and FBI Director James Comey also hastily pulled together a press conference to reassure jittery Americans and try to turn around the conversation about the refugees.

"I understand people are concerned and they’re anxious and they’re afraid. I understand all of that,” Lynch said, growing emotional. “I just find it very troubling when we live and we take action out of fear as opposed to out of resolve and determination and based on facts ... My other concern about the tone is it’s in direct conflict with who we are as a nation and our values as a people."

A top State Department official for refugees, Simon Henshaw, made a guest appearance at the daily briefing in Foggy Bottom to detail screening procedures.

Even George W. Bush administration officials are getting in on the act: Former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, who has been in regular touch with White House aides, penned a letter assuring the president that existing screening techniques are “thorough and robust.” It was cosigned by a former Obama DHS chief, Janet Napolitano — and tweeted out by the president’s staff.

The new messaging effort has all the trappings of damage control, especially after Obama stoked Republicans’ ire earlier this week by scolding them from Manila about the efforts to stop Syrian refugees, saying he could not "think of a more potent recruitment tool for ISIL than some of the rhetoric'' Republicans were using.

Thursday’s House vote was evidence that some damage had already been done, with 47 Democrats helping Republicans achieve a veto-proof majority on the refugee bill, which would require an extra level of certification for Syrians. That was despite a briefing from current DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson and White House chief of staff Denis McDonough earlier in the day; Democrats who voted for the bill said the administration didn’t make the case the bill would be all that bad.

“If you look at the bill, it’s hard to see how it’s as awful as the administration is portraying it as,” said Rep. Scott Peters (D-Calif.).

Democratic senators found a similar presentation on Wednesday evening more convincing. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said he was no longer willing to consider pausing Syrian refugee entries, preferring instead to restrict people who’ve traveled to Syria with European passports from entering the U.S. without applying for a visa.

Schumer offered the president something of a backhanded compliment, essentially saying his actions were more effective

than his messaging.

"The president's doing a very good job,” Schumer said. “I think the word has to get out as to how good a job he has done, both in terms of trying to make us secure but also in terms of progress that we've made in the Middle East.”

Particularly compelling, Schumer said, was a map showing that ISIL held “considerably less” territory than it did last year, as well as the fact that of the more than 2,000 Syrian refugees admitted since 2011, none have been arrested on terror charges.

"I think these things should be publicized so the American people feel secure,” Schumer said.

In fact, White House press secretary Josh Earnest has been citing the territory statistic for months—it was the basis for Obama’s ill-timed claim last week that ISIL was “contained,” and the refugee numbers have been an administration talking point for much of the past week. But the message evidently isn’t getting through.

So the White House stepped it up even more on Thursday, creating a sharable “By the Numbers” graphic on Syrian refugees. That went out under the hashtag #refugeeswelcome, which gained popularity on Tuesday when former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright tweeted not as a foreign affairs expert defending Obama’s decisions on ISIL, but as the daughter of refugees herself.

Obama, who has repeatedly expressed frustration that his critics aren't proposing alternative plans for fighting ISIL, followed up himself by tweeting a torrent from the other side of the world on Wednesday night.

"Slamming the door in the face of refugees would betray our deepest values. That's not who we are. And it's not what we're going to do," he said, concluding a series of eight messages that the White House compiled on Facebook.

"This has been a useful debate over the last few days, particularly the Senate briefing which highlighted concerns about the Visa Waiver Program," said White House deputy press secretary Jen Friedman, in an email. "We look forward to continuing to work with senators to address concerns in the visa waiver program, while continuing to make our case about the importance of the refugee program that has functioned very well since the mid-1970s."

Lynch and Comey stepped in to offer a law-enforcement angle on Thursday — a day after Comey angered senators by begging off their briefing. Planned with just hours notice, Thursday's event was initially billed as a “pen and pad” discussion for reporters, with no cameras allowed. That plan changed at the last minute too, with both figures giving televised statements, though they covered little new ground.

"What concerns me about the tone is it very much runs the risk of essentially devolving the problem on one group of people and saying if we just fix this one thing, we’re done and we’re safe," the attorney general said of the debate over refugees.

For his part, Comey, who fueled the concerns of lawmakers when he said last month that the federal government can’t vet all the Syrian refugees, said on Thursday there was “no credible threat” of Paris- like attacks in the U.S. He added that the threshold for assurance in the House refugee bill would be impossible to meet.

It would be "very, very difficult for us to say, as to anyone coming into the country, that there is zero risk," Comey said.

Roger W. Butler, Sr. WESTFIELD — Roger W. “Bill” Butler Sr. of Westfield, MA passed away on November 16, 2015 at home surrounded by his caring family. Bill was happily married to Myrna (Brody) Butler for 62 years.

The son of the late Roger Edward and Marion (Green) Butler, Bill was born on August 22, 1924 in the Broad Street home built by his great grandfather. He graduated Westfield High School just as World War II began and, after bulking up on black market bananas to meet the U.S. Marine Corps weight requirements, enlisted as a private. Bill proudly served during World War II and the Korean War, honorably discharged in 1952 as a Captain.

A graduate of Dartmouth College, Bill attended the Tuck School of Business. He left graduate school to help his ailing father run The Roger Butler Insurance Agency, a family business started by his maternal grandfather. Bill served as President of the agency for over thirty five years, and it is still family operated today. He also served as a Director of the New London County Mutual Insurance Company. A true son of Westfield, Bill was recognized as Westfield’s “Young Man of the Year” in 1959. His many civic activities included serving as President of the Westfield Development Corporation, President of the Westfield Turnpike Development Corporation, and Vice President of the Westfield Chamber of Commerce. He was also a member of the Get-Together Club of Westfield.

Perhaps an early sign of his eclectic interests and talents, Bill had the unusual distinction of making world news at the age of one and a half when he was recognized as the “World’s Youngest Whistler.” Always active, Bill was happiest when running, skiing, tending to his home and property, clamming on Nantucket or walking his dog Sophia. He was also a car and motorcycle enthusiast, who enjoyed Sunday rides on his Indian, and later Triumph, motorcycles. He loved to travel and had a deep appreciation for other cultures. He and Myrna traveled the world visiting more than 100 countries. Highlights include staying in Havana just prior to Castro’s takeover, crossing Russia on the Trans-Siberian Express before the fall of the Iron Curtain, and trekking the Himalayas in Nepal.

With a generous heart and warm spirit, Bill helped two young men he met on his travels, Jun Zhang of China and Jit Gurung of Nepal, to achieve their dreams of coming to America. He sponsored their travel, welcomed them into his home, and assisted with their education. In addition to his wife Myrna, Bill is survived by his children Roger W. Butler Jr. and his wife Deborah, of Westfield, MA, Jeffrey Butler and his wife Stephanie, of Spokane,WA., Clarissa Simone and her husband Douglas of Westfield, MA, and Jennifer Macierowski and her husband Theodore of Windsor, CT. He also leaves behindeight wonderful grandchildren Tyler and Dana Butler, Henry, Sam and Blythe Butler, Bailey and Chase Simone, and Leanna Macierowski. Bill will be sadly missed but always proudly and lovingly remembered by his family. Per his request, no services will be held. The family would like to extend its sincerest thanks to Dr. Roger Beneitone and the Noble Hospital VNA and Hospice staff for their wonderful care and support. Memorial donations may be made to Noble Visiting Nurse and Hospice Services, Inc.,77 Mill Street, Suite 201, Westfield, MA 01085 or The Stanley Park of Westfield, 400 Western Avenue, Westfield, MA 01085.

‘Baby Doe’ case prompts new state protocols

By STEVE LeBLANC Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker is making changes to the state’s child welfare department following a series of high-profile cases, including the death of a toddler who became known as Baby Doe after her remains turned up on a Boston Harbor beach over the summer.

The girl was later identified as 2-year-old Bella Bond. The state Department of Children and Families has been criticized for its handling of complaints against the girl’s mother. Rachelle Bond is now charged with being an accessory in her daughter’s death.

Bond’s boyfriend, Michael McCarthy, is charged with murder for allegedly punching the girl in the abdomen until she stopped breathing. McCarthy’s lawyer has said his client denies killing the child. Both Bond and McCarthy have pleaded not guilty.

Baker said a new intake policy unveiled Tuesday will clarify protocols used to screen and investigate reports of abuse of neglect.

The changes are also designed to help social workers identify which cases should be sent up for a higher-level review.

Baker said the changes will ensure the safety of children in the state’s welfare system by helping DCF “be responsive and accountable in its mission to protect every child we serve in every way we can.”

Secretary of the Executive Office of Health and Human Services Marylou Sudders said the changes will give social workers what she called “a standardized playbook for case-practice, decision making, and oversight.”

“Intake will be faster and more consistent, and there will be collaboration on cases with supervisors and managers so cases do not fall through the cracks,” she said.

The changes include: — Requiring non-emergency reports of abuse and neglect to be reviewed in one business day — down from the prior three days.

Emergency reports will continue to require an immediate screening decision and an investigatory response within two hours; — Mandating a review of all information about a child and caregiver before becoming involved with DCF, and a review of any comparable information available from child welfare agencies in other states; — Requiring criminal and sex offender background checks on parents, caregivers and all household members over 15 years old; — Evaluating whether a parent understands how to keep their child safe, how to use appropriate discipline methods, and how to provide for the family’s basic needs.

Training on the new policies will begin in February.

The Bella Bond case is one of several high-profile incidents involving DCF this year, including the case of Jack Loiselle, a 7-year-old Hardwick boy who police say was beaten and starved by his father before falling into a coma. A report found DCF failed to pull together multiple abuse reports to adequately protect the boy.

His father, Randall Lints, has pleaded not guilty to assault and child endangerment charges.

In August, 2-year-old Avalena Conway-Coxon and an unidentified second toddler were found unresponsive at an Auburn apartment complex. Avalena was later pronounced dead at a hospital. A state report found DCF failed to properly evaluate the qualifications of a foster mother and determine whether the home was safe for children.

The newer cases echo the 2013 case of Jeremiah Oliver, a 5-yearold Fitchburg boy whose remains were found alongside a highway after social workers lost track of him. That case forced the resignation of then-DCF Commissioner Olga Roche, appointed by former Gov. Deval Patrick.

Body of 2-year-old ‘Baby Doe’ released to father BOSTON (AP) — The body of a 2-year-old girl whose remains were found in a plastic bag on a Boston Harbor beach has been released by the state medical examiner's office and will be laid to rest.

Bella Bond's biological father, Joseph Amoroso, says he is planning a private funeral and burial. Amoroso says she will be buried with her paternal great-grandmother in a Winthrop cemetery.

Bond was known only as "Baby Doe" for three months after her remains were found in June by a woman walking her dog on Deer Island.

Authorities learned her name in September after her mother allegedly told a friend that her boyfriend, Michael McCarthy, had killed her.

McCarthy is charged with murder. Bond is charged with being an accessory after the fact. Both have pleaded not guilty.

he had to make it a permanent liquidation of the Fed’s surplus funds.

The capital surplus account goes back to the beginning of the Federal Reserve, which was up and running beginning in 1914.

According to a 2002 study by what was then called the General Accounting Office, the Federal Reserve’s regional banks drew on their capital surplus at least 158 times to absorb weekly losses from 1989 to 2001.

At the staff level, the Fed “knew we were talking about it,” Neugebauer said. “Subsequent to that, I had conversations with [officials] higher level than staff about that. Obviously, they feel like a lot of people do, including me, that we ought to be looking for transportation funding within transportation and not outside. But I felt like this was the least impact on the system.”

Yellen appeared before the House Financial Services Committee Nov. 4 to talk about banking regulation. She said nothing about the highway bill and no one asked her about it. The fact that the hearing ended without anyone addressing a big elephant in the room raised eyebrows on both sides of the aisle. Huizenga, who authored the Fed surplus cut with Neugebauer, said fed officias “ sent signals that they would rather not be asked about it.”

Huizenga’s spokesman added that it “was a situation where there was great concern from [Financial Services Committee] Republicans that if we brought the subject up it would tip our hand and jeopardize the amendment to the highway bill.”

In a speech delivered that evening, Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer gave the Fed’s clearest public critique of the highway bill offsets without naming the bill, the dividend or Neugebauer’s proposal to tap the surplus fund.

Deep into a broader speech about central bank independence, Fischer noted that “recently some have proposed that the Fed be used to provide revenue to fund specific government initiatives.” He said, it amounted to “quasi-fiscal policy, with manifold implications for central bank independence as well as for the quality of fiscal policy decisions.”

One House aide close to the issue, sympathetic to the fact that the Fed had two bad options between the dividend cut and the surplus fund reduction, said Fischer’s comment was ambiguous and that opponents of the Fed’s treatment in the highway bill would have liked more cover from the Fed.

arraigned on charges of possessing Class A Drug subsequent offense, sexual conduct for fee and possessing Class B drug, brought by Westfield police.

Ashley N. Deleon, 28, of 71 Avon Place, Springfield, was released on her personal recognizance pending a January 20 hearing after being arraigned on charges of juror failing to attend, brought by the Administrative Office of the Trial Court.

Brian R. Gosselin, 20, of 44 Hillside Ave., was placed on six months probation and ordered to pay $300 in restitution after charges of vandalizing property were continued without finding, brought by Westfield police.

James N. Merati, 25, of 1 Oak Terrace, was placed on one year probation after pleading guilty to negligent operation of a motor vehicle and after charges of possessing a Class A drug were continued without finding and had charges of inhaling glue/ toxic substance, brought by Westfield police, dismissed.

Thomas Geas, 46, of 2041 Riverdale St., West Springfield, was placed on one year probation after charges of assault and battery were continued without finding, brought by Westfield police.

Dinosaur claws among items on annual list of dangerous toys

By PHILIP MARCELO Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Dinosaur claws inspired by the movie "Jurassic World" and a quickfolding trampoline are among the items on a consumer watchdog group's annual list of hazardous toys released Wednesday.

The Massachusetts-based World Against Toys Causing Harm says the toys singled out as the 10 most dangerous for Christmas this year represent common problems and aren't the only potentially dangerous products on the market.

The Toy Industry Association says all toys for sale on U.S. shelves go through some of the strictest safety requirements in the world, including more than 100 safety tests and standards and certification by an independent, federally approved testing lab.

The trade group says WATCH doesn't even test the toys it names. WATCH doesn't dispute this, saying it's simply providing easy ways for parents to identify toy risks.

"Their allegations are based on pure conjecture and opinion," the toy association said in a statement. "When examined and reviewed, year after year these lists have repeatedly shown to be full of false claims and needlessly frighten parents and caregivers."

WATCH President Joan Siff said 3 million units of toys have been recalled just in the past year for defects that could injure children.

Many of the toys were still on store shelves when recalls were issued, she said.

"The $22 billion-a-year toy industry should be asking what they can do better to protect children instead of making blanket statements that 'toys sold on U.S. toy shelves are safe,'" she said.

Many of the toys on this year's list can be found at major retailers such as Toys R Us, Wal-Mart and Kmart. They also can be bought from online sites such as Amazon.com and ebay.

The velociraptor claws are child-sized dinosaur gloves made of foam and can cause eye and facial injuries, WATCH said. And the trampoline can lead to injuries during use and assembly, the advocacy group said.

A Play-Doh-like substance that looks like poop also made this year's list. WATCH says the "Poo-Dough" contains wheat and could cause allergy-related injuries such as hives, headaches and difficulty breathing.

Here's WATCH's list of the 10 worst toys for

Mass. House approves solar ‘net metering’ bill BOSTON (AP) — The Massachusetts House has passed a bill designed to boost the state’s reliance on solar energy.

The measure approved Tuesday increases the cap on the state’s “net metering” program that allows homeowners, businesses and local governments to sell excess solar power they generate back to the electrical grid in exchange for credit.

The increase in the bill equals 2 percent for private facilities and 2 percent for public facilities.

House Speaker Robert DeLeo says that’s enough to allow most net metering projects currently in the development pipeline to move ahead.

Solar energy supporters called the bill dis-

appointing, saying it doesn’t go far enough and would make it harder for many Massachusetts residents to power their homes with renewable energy.

The bill would have to be reconciled with a version passed earlier by the Senate.

“Energy policy is one of the most crucial issues facing the Commonwealth today,” DeLeo said. “Today’s efforts and those we will undertake later in the session will help foster a sustainable renewable energy industry while ensuring ratepayers are treated fairly. I’m proud of the progress the House is making to strike a balanced approach that will serve our state’s environmental and economic needs both now and far into the future.”

The ultimate running game: a Brady play for president BOSTON (AP) — Never mind what Tom Brady says about making a play for the White House: Fans are clinging to 0.0001 odds he’ll reconsider the ultimate running game someday.

For a cover story, GQ magazine asked its 2015 Man of the Year if he’d ever consider a run for the White House — or at least for governor of Massachusetts.

“There is a 0.000 chance of me ever wanting to do that,” Brady said.

“I just think that no matter what you’d say or what you’d do, you’d be in a position where — you know, you’re politicking. You know? ... I think in politics, half the people are gonna like you and half the people are not gonna like you, no matter what you do or what you say,” he said.

None of which has stopped New England fans from daydreaming.

On talk radio and social media, Patriots Nation has been indulging in a little fantasy football, politics edition. Fans are imagining the dimplechinned QB trading the oval ball for the Oval Office — with First Lady Gisele Bundchen as a bonus.

It’s all part of a growing heap of hometown hubris surrounding the defending NFL champions and their three-time Super Bowl MVP, who’ve gone 9-0 so far this season.

“I’ll appreciate it when Tom Brady is president of the entire world,” said fan Andrew O’Donnell.

Others, who’ve been bringing “Brady for President” signs to games for years, point to a kind of precedence: If Ronald Reagan could turn his Hollywood celebrity into some formidable political capital, why not Tom Terrific?

Not for nothing, but Brady now

shares GQ Man of the Year distinction with President Barack Obama.

If — and, admittedly, it’s a huge if — Brady ever did change his mind about politics, it’s a safe bet he’d run as a conservative. Asked in September if he thought Republican front-runner Donald Trump has what it takes to win the presidency, Brady told reporters: “I hope so. It would be great.”

Brady says Trump is a longtime friend and golf partner, and Trump regularly crows about TB12 “the winner” at campaign stops around New England.

In past interviews, Brady has expressed disgust at partisan politics and gridlock.

“I haven’t paid attention to politics in a long time,” Brady said in September while clarifying his comments on Trump. “It’s actually not something that I really even enjoy. It’s

way off my radar.”

Detractors contend the Deflategate scandal disqualifies Brady. Some sarcastically suggest it makes him the perfect politician: evasive and sneaky.

And some Patriots fans — especially in liberal-leaning New England — think Brady’s better off sticking to football.

“There’s a big difference between being a good leader in sports and being a political leader,” said Arianne Tidwell, 24, a technology consultant from Charlestown, Massachusetts.

Matthew Leathers, 41, of East Greenwich, Rhode Island, agrees.

“There’s a far cry between being a quarterback on Sundays and being an executive branch leader. JFK was good at sports, but he was also good at government,” Leathers said.

But he added: “That said, (Brady) would probably win.”

WSU Owls knock off Lancers WESTFIELD – The Westfield State men’s hockey team scored two power play goals and senior Kyllian Kirkwood (Copper Cliff, Ont.) dished out four assists, leading the Owls past Worcester State, 5-1, in MASCAC action at Amelia Park Ice Arena Thursday night.

With the win, Westfield State improves to 4-1, 3-1 in the MASCAC, while Worcester State drops to 2-4-1, 0-3-1 in MASCAC play.

Westfield scored its first goal on the power play with 7:29 remaining in the first period after a Worcester State high-sticking penalty. Sophomore forward Roman Pfennings (Grefath, Germany) took a pass from Kirkwood above the right faceoff circle and blasted a shot past Lancers goaltender Max Kirkwood (Brunswick, OH).

The Owls added another goal with 1:09 left in the period when freshman forward Aaron Clancy (Quincy, Mass.) beat Kirkwood glove side with a wrist shot from the slot for his first collegiate goal.

Worcester State answered with a shorthanded goal less than five minutes into the period to cut the Owls lead to 2-1. Senior forward Joe White (Wonder Lake, IL) stole the puck near center ice and fed freshman forward Patrick Germain (Auburn, Mass.) in the slot for a quick goal.

Westfield State, however, responded with its second power play goal of the night later in the period to go ahead, 3-1. Junior forward Jackson Leef (Fort Wayne, IND) netted his sixth goal of the season, one-timing

Twenty seconds later, sophomore forward Cody Campbell-Rich (Ridgecrest, Calif.) iced the game, onetiming a beautiful cross-ice pass from Kirkwood which left Campbell-Rich a wide open net.

Freshman forward Colby Daniels (Leask, Sask.) scored his first collegiate goal with under three minutes remaining in the third period for the Owls’ final goal.

Westfield State outshot Worcester State, 44-33, and held a 41-31 edge in faceoffs. Leef won 13 of 18

faceoffs, while sophomore forward Jeremy Young (Lynnfield, Mass.) won 11 of 16.

Junior goaltender Jonathan LoParco (Vaughan, Ont.) made 32 saves to help the Owls pick up the win.

Kirkwood made 31 saves in two period for the Lancers, while senior Drew Case (Plano, TX) had eight saves in the final frame.

Westfield State returns to the ice on Saturday, November 21, hosting Framingham State at Amelia Park at 5:35 p.m.

Annie’s Mailbox

By KATHY MITCHELL and MARCY SUGAR

Please leave animals at home Dear Annie: I would like to know why stores allow people to bring their pets inside. I have seen dogs sitting in the carts with their blankets as the owners push through the store. I often see one particular owner at the same store. She appears to like the attention the dog brings, as she stands and talks a lot to anyone who passes.

My grandson is allergic to dogs and cats and would get quite sick if he were put in the same cart after an animal has been in it.

I have had many cats, dogs, pigs and horses over the years and have loved them all, but would never think to bring them into stores where they could cause someone else to suffer respiratory distress. Maybe these pet owners don’t think about the people they could adversely affect. -- Please Leave Animals at Home Dear Home: Of course they don’t think about other people’s sensitivities. They are too focused on their own. Many stores now feel obligated to allow pets because so many folks claim they are “comfort animals” with legal protection. This is often not the case, but stores are reluctant to challenge their patrons.

Instead of expecting others to be more considerate (good luck with that), those with allergies must take their own precautions.

Many stores now offer disinfectant wipes for their carts, but we recommend you bring your own, just in case.

Dear Annie: I am tired of you saying “try harder” to women who, like me, are past the age of 50 and tired of the sexual demands of our partners.

I like sex, provided it is satisfying to both partners. The “slam bam thank you mam” type doesn’t count. I would like a little foreplay. I would like to be touched at other times. I would like to be respected and appreciated. I would like to be given some attention during the hour it takes for the Viagra to take effect and not jumped on when he’s ready.

Oh, sorry, I didn’t intend to make this about me. Because it’s all about him. It was all about him when he was 20 and had the sex drive of a rabbit. It was all about him when he was 30 and trying to prove he was adequate. And it is still all about him.

There are things I refuse to do because I find them distasteful.

There are things he cannot do, and then he blames me for his inadequacies. And he looks at porn online, saying I “don’t give him what he needs.”

I refuse to be treated like an object any more. We’ve already been to counseling. It doesn’t work because he “doesn’t need it.” He just wants more sex. -- Tired of Sex, So Blame Me Dear Tired: Our advice to “try harder” is for women whose husbands are kind and loving, but the women’s libido is nonexistent and they have no interest in any sexual activity.This is obviously not the case for you. Your husband seems selfish, and your reluctance to please him has nothing to do with sex and everything to do with feeling unappreciated. Counseling is for you, not him. Try it on your own.

SEEING THE LIGHT ON A DARK NIGHT Dear Heloise: One night, I came home late and noticed that I had forgotten to turn on my FRONTPORCH LIGHT. It was really dark, and without the light I knew I was going to have trouble getting my key into the keyhole.

At that same time, my cellphone rang. Upon answering it, I noticed just how much it lit up the very dark interior of my car. That’s when it hit me: My phone had a flashlight! Problem solved. -- Rose M., Victoria, Texas Yes, the multiple features that are on these phones seem to be making us more and more dependent on them. On the plus side, it does eliminate the need to carry a mirror or a small flashlight in purses anymore! -- Heloise FREEZING YOGURT Dear Heloise: Could you please tell me if it’s OK to freeze yogurt? I have yogurt every day, so I really need to stock up, say, one month’s worth. I always watch the date on them. -- Mary J., Huntington Beach, Calif.

Mary, freezing yogurt is OK. Some yogurt types can be frozen for up to three months. It’s recommended that if there’s fruit in the yogurt, it’s better to stir the yogurt before freezing.

When thawed, there may be slight changes in consistency and texture, so “test freeze” a container of the kind you prefer. Thaw frozen yogurt in the refrigerator and stir before eating. -- Heloise BOOKING FLIGHTS Dear Readers: As the holidays are quickly approaching, booking flights may be part of what you need to get around to doing!

Jacksonville Jaguars' Rashad Greene runs back a punt return past Tennessee Titans cornerback Cody Riggs (37), Steven Johnson (52) and Marqueston Huff (28) during the second half of an NFL football game in Jacksonville, Fla., Thursday, Nov. 19, 2015.(AP Photo/Phelan M. Ebenhack)

Jaguars beat Titans on return JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Rashad Greene fielded the line-drive punt, weaved through a few defenders, broke into the open field and nearly scored.

It was the big play the Jacksonville Jaguars needed to beat Tennessee. It was the key moment they had to have to gain ground in the muddled AFC South.

It came from a rookie, a guy who missed the previous seven games with a torn ligament in his left thumb.

And it made those mustard uniforms, at least for a second, look much more like gold.

"I just needed that ball and he gave it to me the way I wanted it," Greene said.

Greene returned the punt 63 yards, setting up Blake Bortles' 5-yard touchdown pass to Julius Thomas with 3:30 remaining, and the Jaguars held on to beat the Titans 19-13 on Thursday night.

"We've been in these one-possession games all season," coach Gus Bradley said.

"Fortunately, we came out on the good end."

The Jaguars (4-6) won consecutive games for the first time since December 2013 and put themselves squarely in the hunt in the division race. They have won three of four.

The Titans (2-8) lost for the eighth time in nine games and spoiled interim coach Mike Mularkey's return to Jacksonville. Mularkey was fired after one season with the Jaguars, a 2-14 campaign in 2012.

For much of the night it looked as if Mularkey would celebrate a rare win in Jacksonville.

But Greene flipped the script. Bortles hooked up with Thomas on the next play, putting Jacksonville ahead 16-13. It was an easy call for Bortles, who noticed linebacker Derrick Morgan lined up across from Thomas before the snap.

"One on one with really a defensive end," Bortles said. "That's kind of a mismatch."

Titans tight end Phillip Supernaw fumbled on the ensuing possession, leading to Jason Myers' fourth field goal of the night and a six-point lead with 2:19 remaining.

"My fault on that play," Supernaw said. "My ball security wasn't as good as it should have been."

Tennessee had one final chance and advanced to the 23 with 5 seconds remaining. But Andre Branch sacked Marcus Mariota on the final play. Branch did his usual windmill dance as he

was mobbed by teammates.

"We don't have any quitters," Jaguars cornerback Aaron Colvin said. "We all believe that we can win any game. Any time it may look like we're out to the public eye, to the naked eye, we feel deep down that we can win the game. We have playmakers that are starting to make plays in crucial situations and you can see it each and every game."

Here are more things to know about the game: DIVISION RACE: The Jaguars closed in on co-division leaders Houston and Indianapolis, both 4-5, and have the easiest remaining schedule of any team in the NFL. Jacksonville also has three of its next four at home. Potentially helping Jacksonville's chances, the Texans likely will be without quarterback Brian Hoyer at least this week and the Colts could be without quarterback Andrew Luck for multiple games.

"We all know the situation with our division and we all know that it's wide open," Colvin said. "Any team can win it."

YOUNG QBS: Mariota and Bortles showed why they're considered two of the league's top young quarterbacks. Mariota completed 22 of 35 passes for 231 yards. He also ran for a 23-yard score that put the Titans ahead 13-9 late in the third. Bortles, who left the sideline briefly in the fourth to be treated for dehydration, completed 21 of 30 passes for 242 yards. He extended his TD streak to 10 consecutive games.

STREAK ENDS: Jaguars receiver Allen Hurns had his seven-game touchdown streak come to an end. It was the longest streak in franchise history and the longest current streak in the league. Hurns, who played through a foot injury and a sports hernia, caught three passes for 19 yards.

ORAKPO SHINES: Titans linebacker Brian Orakpo finished with a sack, a forced fumble and a pass defense. He has at least one sack in four consecutive games.

MISSED OPPORTUNITIES: The Jaguars scored one touchdown in five trips inside the 20-yard line. Throw in Bortles' interception from the Tennessee 23, and the Jags were downright awful in and near the red zone. The lone bright spot was that Myers kicked a careerhigh four field goals.

FANTASY PLAYS:

QB injuries bring chaos to lineups

By JOSH HOFFNER Associated Press The following are currently starting quarterbacks in the NFL: T.J. Yates, Case Keenum, Blaine Gabbert, Brock Osweiler, Matt Hasselbeck and Mark Sanchez.

Interesting times for fantasy owners.

All of them will start Sunday, injecting all sorts of volatility into fantasy lineups. Owners suddenly have to weigh the value of starting wide receivers and tight ends now catching passes from second-string quarterbacks, many of whom are being thrust into difficult situations with little NFL experience.

The most notable change is in Denver, where Peyton Manning is sidelined with an array of injuries that contributed to one of the worst performances by a quarterback ever. It's not clear how long he will be out, and his brutal showing was a sad reminder of the impending end of a glorious career, especially for fantasy owners. Manning's record-setting numbers year in and year out coincided with the surge in popularity of fantasy football, which he no doubt helped fuel.

Hasselbeck came into the league the same year as Manning, and he is seeing a different fate than his 1998 draft classmate. He is taking over in Indianapolis for the injured Andrew Luck.

They are among the five teams who will have new quarterbacks this week. Here is a look at the fantasy scenarios for each team: DENVER Don't press the panic but-

ton if you own Denver receivers. Osweiler has experienced the ideal situation since he came into the league in 2012. He was given time to learn the position, and do so under one of the greatest of all time. So he could easily outperform expectations.

You do not want him as your starting QB at this point, but the Denver receivers won't necessarily see a drop in production. The fact that Osweiler is more mobile than Manning opens up lots of scoring opportunities in Gary Kubiak's offense, and remember, defenses were giving little respect to the deep ball with Manning's arm issues.

So it's entirely possible that the change gives a lift to the running game, too.

PHILADELPHIA Sam Bradford suffered a separated shoulder and concussion in the Eagles' disappointing loss to the Dolphins.

Enter Mark Sanchez. That could be a blessing or a curse.

Sanchez knows the Chip Kelly system and seemed to have a nice command of the offense last week. But then Sanchez pulled a Sanchez — he committed a mind-boggling turnover, a problem that has bedeviled him his entire career. The bottom line: Don't expect a huge drop over Bradford if you possess Philly offensive weapons like DeMarco Murray and Jordan Matthews, but it wouldn't be the craziest thing in the world to stream defenses going up against Sanchez because of his propensity for turnovers.

INDIANAPOLIS Hasselbeck now gets the starting nod during a key

stretch in the Colts' season.

Optimists will focus on his 2-0 record when Luck was injured earlier this season, but don't let that record fool you. One was a 16-13 win over Jacksonville and the other was a victory over a Houston team that sleep-walked through a Thursday night game. His return to the lineup greatly decreases the value of wideouts T.Y. Hilton and Donte Moncrief.

HOUSTON Yates takes over for Brian Hoyer after leading the Texans to a surprising win over previously unbeaten Cincinnati and connecting with DeAndre Hopkins on the game's only touchdown. The problem is that Hopkins is struggling with a knee injury and missed practice Wednesday and Thursday.

So that makes Hopkins a question mark, along with the rest of the offense against a tough Jets defense this weekend with a new quarterback.

RAMS Keenum replaces the ineffective Nick Foles, who was benched. Not much to see here for fantasy owners. The only real fantasy options on the Rams are Todd Gurley and Tavon Austin. Gurley is a must-start every week, and Austin is a matchup play. It seems possible that Keenum will give the Rams a lift.
