Evidence reveals paranormal activity in town of Southwick By HOPE E. TREMBLAY Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – Apparently, things really do go bump in the night, at least they do at Southwick Town Hall and the Old Library. Last night the Agawam Paranormal Society presented its findings of an investigation of the two buildings and evidence points to activity from beyond the grave. “There is a sufficient case to believe there is paranormal activity,” said Rob Goff of the APS. “We do not believe any of the activity is negative or evil in intent.” Goff’s presentation included photos, videos and audio evidence that he said made him say “hmmmmm, there’s something there.” Photos taken during the investigation last winter show several orbs, which are spots of light not explained by normal circumstance, such as dust or reflections. Several videos showed moving orbs, including one that disappeared into a wall. Audio evidence included the voice of a man not in the room who seemed to say “knock it off” when investigators asked questions.

Westfield Athenaeum hires new director By LORI SZEPELAK Correspondent WESTFIELD – As a youngster, Dan Paquette loved reading comic books, tales of adventure, and science fiction fantasy. He readily admits he resisted reading the classics. “I’ve always had a love for stories and where they lead you,” he said. In his new role as the director of the Westfield Athenaeum, he is surrounded by those classics and thousands of other books – and he couldn’t be happier. “The Athenaeum is an enjoyable place to work,” he said. “I love coming here every day.” While he is only wrapping up his first month on the job, he was able to easily integrate into the surroundings since he had served as head of the youth services library from 2006 to 2011. “I had various roles at the Springfield Library from 2000 to 2006 and then joined the Athenaeum in 2006,” he said. “I have always enjoyed what I do and who I am doing it for – especially working with children.” Paquette had served as director of the Lee Library from 2011 until this past summer when he applied for the Athenaeum position. “The Athenaeum is not old and stagnant,” he said. “We are very much on the cutting edge of what libraries can offer.” Paquette said he relishes the opportunity to wander the book stacks and talk to patrons, seeking feedback of what area residents would like to see from their library in the 21st century. “I like a light-hearted atmosphere,” he said. “I’m a people person focused on put-
ting our patrons first.” Paquette describes the Athenaeum as a “place that is engaging” and “welcomes all to come in and be themselves.” “We want to know how we can be a part of their lives and offer what they need,” he said. While seeking feedback from patrons and staff members, Paquette also works closely with the Athenaeum’s board of directors, as well as the mayor and city councilors, since funds are allocated each year to the financial bottom line. “I’m new in this position and I look forward to meeting with the new mayor and with councilors to explain the value of the library,” he said. As a “team,” Paquette said his staff all work diligently to provide for the longterm stability of the organization. “We want the Athenaeum to be a onestop shop for all of our patron’s interests, whether it is for research, audio books, movies, toys or museum passes,” he said. Paquette said that while the Athenaeum receives city and state funds, there is always the need to fundraise to ensure that necessary improvements to the building infrastructure are met. “We are starting to plan for the renovations of our public bathrooms to ensure they are more functional and handicap accessible,” he said. He also noted that the Friends of the Library are also an integral part of ensuring the Athenaeum raises funds throughout the year to support programs and services. “The children’s toy and book sale and See Athenaeum Director, Page 8
By AMY PORTER Correspondent WESTFIELD – Thursday evening, Damian J. Fernandez met with a small group of alumni and staff, including one who called in from Australia. The meeting was the last for Fernandez in a day which began at 7:15 a.m. Friday. He met with more constituency groups on campus, ending with an open forum for students. Fernandez, who is currently Chief Executive Officer and Head of School for the Ethical Culture Fieldston School in New York City, began by saying what attracted him to Westfield State is that “it gets one thing right – student success,” noting in particular the university’s impressive retention and graduate rates. Fernandez received his bachelor’s in international relations from Princeton, his master’s in Latin American studies from the University of Miami, and a doctorate in international relations from the University of Miami. He talked about his long career in education, beginning with Florida International University in Miami, where he served several roles over ten years, including as professor of international relations and vice provost. He subsequently served as provost of SUNY Purchase Colleg in Purchase, NY, before taking the position at Fieldston in 2011. He said while at the Fieldston School, the largest independent pre-K-12 school in New York City with 1,700 students and 300 staff, he realized one of the big issues of our time is See Fernandez, Page 8

Review: Goodspeed stages ‘A Wonderful Life’ By MARK AUERBACH Correspondent EAST HADDAM, Conn. – The recent trend in musical theatre has been to turn towards Hollywood for content, and taking either a popular or obscure film, and transforming it into a musical. Sometimes, it works like a charm, as musicals like Newsies, Hairspray and The Producers outdo their film ancestors. Two recent Goodspeed musicals come to mind: this summer’s La Cage Aux Folles, transforned from a French film comedy into a 1980’s Broadway classic, and last season’s film-tostage adaptation of Irving Berlin’s Holiday Inn, which rates high on my list of all-time Goodspeed favorites. Goodspeed’s current offering is A Wonderful Life, a musicalization of the Frank Capra film, which starred Jimmy Stewart. Sheldon Harnick (Fiddler on The Roof) and Joe Raposo (Sesame Street), collaborated for many years to bring the musical to the stage, during which time
Raposo died. After a workshop, the production made its debut at Arena Stage in Washington, DC in 1991, and it’s been produced elsewhere since. Sheldon Harnick’s book is faithful to the film, and his lyrics, paired with Joe Raposo’s songs,are pleasant. (I suspect Raposo could have become a major Broadway player, had he lived. There’s lots of potential in this score.) But, since we know the film so well, neither expand on the film nor provide another layer of character, mood or emotion to give the film a wonderful life onstage. Michael Perlman’s direction is true to the source, but because so many of us know what happens next, there’s little suspense built into the staging. Michael O’Flaherty’s musical direction and Dan DeLange’s orchestration are superb; they bring out the best in Raposo’s score. Parker Esse’s choreography, especially a Charleston in the See A Wonderful Life, Page 8

Cockatoo with dinosaur-like screech vexes neighbors BROOKLINE, Mass. (AP) — A cockatoo with the screech of a dinosaur is vexing residents of a tony Boston suburb. The white bird, named Dino because of his annoying call, flew away from his owner in July and into the trees of Brookline. He’s been gnawing on the woodwork of the Nancy Gertner’s historic home. Gertner is a retired federal judge and senior lecturer at Harvard Law School. The Boston Globe reports (http://bit.ly/1Ngk1dE ) animal control officials were called and no one will trap the bird. She left food in a cage and a string to close the door. Dino refused the bait and squirrels ate the food. Loud rock ‘n’ roll music and a blaring house alarm failed to chase Dino away. Gertner may have to make peace with Dino; she’s run out of ideas to get rid of him.
College honors retired professor with 17 mph speed limit AMHERST, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts college has changed all the speed limit signs on campus to honor a retired mathematics professor who spent his career fascinated by the number 17. The speed limit change from 15 mph to 17 mph at Hampshire College was made at the request of the professor, David Kelly. He didn’t want a retirement party when he stepped down after 45 years on the faculty at the college in Amherst. Kelly knows countless facts about 17, the seventh prime number. He says it has had broad applications in mathematics and other disciplines. There are many fun facts about 17, including that there are 17 columns on the long side of the Parthenon in Greece. Kelly says the tribute “captures Hampshire’s uniqueness.”

COMMENT
pulseline@thewestfieldnews.com Leading up to the local elections on November 3rd, the PulseLine will not run any submissions that are candidate specific. ... We have found, in the past, some campaigns attempted to use this forum to support some candidates and discredit others. For a fair assessment of the candidates read the news we will be reporting.
Millennials warming to Sanders, cooling to Clinton By NICK GASS Politico.com Millennials are feeling the Bern, according to the latest results from a national NBC News/SurveyMonkey poll of Democrats out Friday. Hillary Clinton still leads Bernie Sanders 45 percent to 31 percent, essentially unchanged from last month's survey. But among those born between roughly 1985 and 1997, 54 percent back the democratic socialist senator from Vermont. Just 26 percent supported Clinton, down from 34 percent in September and 36 percent in August. Vice President Joe Biden went down to 10 percent from 15 percent last month, while other candidates earned 1 percent or less. Clinton, however, commands strong leads among all other age groups, including Gen Xers and Baby Boomers. A majority of 56 percent also said Clinton performed best during Tuesday's debate, with 33 percent responding that Sanders won the night. Biden, who has not announced a bid, earned 10 percent in the overall vote among Democrats but just 3 percent among millennials aged 18 to 29. (Millennials born in the early 1980s are, of course, now part of the 30-to-44 age cohort.) The poll was conducted by SurveyMonkey from Oct. 13-15, surveying 1,857 registered Democratic or Democraticleaning voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percentage points.
Obama pulls plug on new Arctic oil drilling By ELANA SCHOR Politico.com The Obama administration on Friday pulled the plug on plans to sell new oil and gas drilling rights in the Arctic waters, a pivot away from energy development in the environmentally sensitive region after Shell's costly failure to find crude there. Interior's move to cancel the sales marked an acknowledgment of the dismal economic reality facing aspiring Arctic drillers, who had shown little interest in the potential lease sales amid a global downturn in oil prices. But it also gave greens the chance to take a fresh victory lap for their successful campaign to press Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton to publicly oppose all oil and gas development in the Arctic. Sierra Club chief Michael Brune said in a statement that activists' campaigns against Shell, which walked away from its multibillion-dollar Arctic effort last month , "showed that people power can and will continue to overcome Big Oil." The Interior Department announced it had scrapped Arctic oil and gas leasing sales planned for 2016 and 2017, and also said it would deny requests by Shell and Norway's Statoil to extend their current Arctic lease terms past the 10-year mark. Environmentalists cheered a move to scrap sales in a region they say is too environmentally sensitive to risk drilling, while senior House Republican Rob Bishop slammed the administration's "dangerous priorities." Bishop, who is the chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee warned that Interior's decision risks giving Russia the lead in the race to develop the Arctic oil fields. "While the Obama administration pats itself on the back, [Russian President Vladimir] Putin is patting this administration on the head," he said in a statement. "Obama has once again played directly into Russia's hands as he destroys our nation's energy potential." And Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said the decision was just the latest injury the administration had delivered to the state. "This is a stunning, short-sighted move that betrays the Interior Department's commitments to Alaska and the best interests of our nation's long-term energy security," she said in a statement. "Today's decision is the latest in a destructive pattern of hostility toward energy production in our state that began the first day this administration took office, and continued ever since." Interior, which also decided against extending existing Arctic lease terms on properties controlled by Shell and Norway's Statoil, said the decision was an economic one. "In light of Shell's announcement, the amount of acreage already under lease and current market conditions, it does not make sense to prepare for lease sales in the Arctic in the next year and a half," Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said in a statement. Oil companies have slashed their spending because of the sharp drop in crude prices, and few were likely to pour money into risky investments in the Arctic after Shell's failure there. In August, Clinton moved to the left of President Barack Obama by declaring her opposition to drilling in the Arctic waters - one in a series of positions that drew praise from the environmental wing of the Democratic Party - and that came amid a strong challenge to her campaign from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). Environmentalists are likely to use the Friday decision to press the administration to abandon future plans for Arctic leasing in its next five-year offshore plan, which is set to be finalized in the coming months. But the Interior cancellation also puts fresh pressure on leaders in Alaska, where Independent Gov. Bill Walker described himself as "disappointed." "Any action that limits our ability to explore for more oil - to increase much-needed oil production through the Trans-Alaska Oil Pipeline - creates unnecessary uncertainty and burden on our economy," he said in a statement.

Biden keeps Democrats waiting By GABRIEL DEBENEDETTI Politico.com Joe Biden entered another weekend surrounded by rumors of potential political plans and possible decision dates on Friday evening, but the Democratic field refused to remain in a holding pattern while the vice president dithered over 2016. Bernie Sanders basked in the glow of raising $3.2 million in the two days since the debate and prepared to head to Iowa on Sunday while Hillary Clinton charged ahead with her own buoyant post-Las Vegas tour with a day of events in New Hampshire before a Democratic Party speech in Alabama on Saturday. Yet much of the party’s attention remained trained on the Naval Observatory — or, more precisely, Wilmington and New York City, where Biden is spending the weekend. People familiar with the conversations surrounding the vice president’s White House contemplation acknowledged hearing rumors that news could break of his decision on Saturday or Sunday, but they warned that such chatter and supposed deadlines had slipped by four or five times before in recent months. Still, they said, a Thursday letter circulated to alumni of Biden’s political circles by his longtime friend, former Sen. Ted Kaufman, was widely seen as a signal to Biden’s supporters that they should not become restless, and that news could come before long. The letter would not have been sent without Biden’s approval, they explained. “For Ted Kaufman to send out that missive is significant, because Ted is the dean of advisors,” explained one Democrat close to the internal planning discussions. “He’s a family confidant — a family member.” None of the Biden backers who spoke with Politico on
Friday said they had heard anything from the vice president’s team since Kaufman’s letter went out, and Biden’s office declined to comment. Many Washington insiders familiar with the White House remain skeptical that Biden would run, and people close to his discussions warned that most purely political rumors were likely coming from people outside Biden’s immediate inner circle. Nonetheless, Kaufman’s note appeared to be an attempt to calm concerns that Biden’s team would be unprepared for a full-scale White House run due to looming filing deadlines that, if missed, would make it impossible for him to compete against Clinton and Sanders in some states. Biden’s advisors recently met with Democratic National Committee officials to go over such details, in a Washington sit-down first reported by the New Yorker. Biden’s lack of a national or early-state political and fundraising mechanism has also caught the eyes of many skeptics who note how difficult it would be for anyone — even a sitting vice president — to get into the race so late in the game. Bill Clinton’s October 3, 1991 announcement is frequently used as an example of a successful delayed entry in conversations among Democratic strategists and fundraisers, but the Arkansan had an early-state infrastructure in place at the time. “I am confident that the Vice President is aware of the practical demands of making a final decision soon. He has been in public and political life a long time and he has a good grip on the mechanics around this decision,” read Kaufman’s email. “I See Joe, Page 8

Public health officials: 9th West Nile virus in human ID’d BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts public health officials say a Suffolk County woman is the ninth person to contract West Nile virus in the state this year. The Department of Public Health said Friday the unidentified patient is in her 30s and likely contracted the virus locally. She did not require hospitalization. Officials say the infection was confirmed by testing at the Massachusetts State Public Health Laboratory.
Officer who died year after Boston Marathon shootout honored By BOB SALSBERG Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — The name of a police officer who suffered a fatal brain aneurysm a year after being wounded during a confrontation with the Boston Marathon bombers was added Friday to a memorial honoring Massachusetts law enforcement officers. Dennis Simmonds, a Boston patrolman, was among the officers who engaged Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in a shootout in Watertown on April 19, 2013, days after two bombs exploded at the marathon finish line. Officials said Simmonds sustained a head injury when he was struck by shrapnel from an explosive device the suspects detonated. On April 10, 2014, Simmonds, 28, collapsed while working out at the Boston Police Academy gym and died at a hospital. The addition of Simmonds’ name to the more than 350 on the Massachusetts Law Enforcement Memorial outside the Statehouse appeared to be the strongest acknowledgment yet that his death was linked to the marathon attack and its aftermath. “A young kid like that doesn’t just die ... without something causing that,” Police Commissioner William Evans said after Friday’s ceremony. “There has to be a nexus to it.” The shootout with the Tsarnaev brothers occurred hours after Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer Sean Collier was shot and killed in Cambridge. Collier’s name had previously been added to the police memorial. Three spectators died in the April 15, 2013 bombing and more than 260 people were injured. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in the shootout with police. Dhzokar was captured hiding in a boat in Watertown and was convicted earlier this year and sentenced to death by a federal

jury. In May, the state retirement board awarded Simmonds’ family a $150,000 line-of-duty benefit after a medical panel ruled that the aneurysm was probably related to the injuries from the confrontation with the bombers. “He was a hero in the marathon bombing shootout, and it’s a tragedy that he died See Officer, Page 8 Exchanging Ideas | Finding Resources | Showcasing Talent

Paranormal Goff explained that they used electro-magnetic field equipment – EMF – to measure electro-magnetic activity that can indicate a paranormal presence. They also used mag light flashlights. Goff said they set up a mag light and twisted it to barely the off position, then asked questions and instructed any entity present to answer by turning on the light. Southwick Board of Selectmen Assistant Cindy Pendleton participated in the investigations and said there was a lot of activity. “Those lights were going on and off,” she said. “They would ask a question like ‘If you are a man, turn the light on,’ and it would turn on. As soon as a question was asked, the lights would turn on and off.” Pendleton is a longtime town employee and said she has seen and heard many unusual things throughout the years, but isn’t scared of the so-called haunted hall. “It’s like they’re just part of the building,” she said. Pendleton said there was much activity in both buildings, and said the most activity at Town Hall, previously the Consolidated School, seemed to be in the Senior Center. There, the billiards table was set up with the flashlight and orbs could be seen around the table. Pendleton said she and one of the investigators also witnessed a stuffed animal move by itself when they asked what they believed to be the spirit of a young girl if she would like to play with it. Pendleton said she the evidence validated what she has felt for many years. “If you were there and saw and heard and felt those things, you just couldn’t deny what was there,” she said, adding that “they’re friendly.” Goff said they believe there is a spirit of a young girl and a young boy, as well as other spirits in the building. He said a man in his 30s hangs out on the fourth floor, but he isn’t there to scare anyone. “He enjoys joking and banter,” he said. Another male spirit heard in the Senior Center was a bit less friendly. The APS psychic said he was not fond of her and refused to interact
Continued from Page 1 with the group. She said she believed he was in the service and enjoyed hanging out with the men at the center. Pendleton said the activity at the Old Library was more pronounced and she could actually hear voices. “It was definitely more clear there,” she said. The presentation was given to a completely packed crowd in the Town Hall auditorium. Nearly every chair throughout the building was brought into the auditorium and there were numerous people standing outside the room. Nearly 350 people attended the event. Among the listeners were Nancy Flagg and her daughter Heather Lavoie. The pair came to hear the findings because they both attended the former Consolidated School, and said they have had experience with spirits. Flagg’s husband died in 1979 of a heart attack, leaving his 29 year-old wife with their four children, ages six months to 10 years-old. Flagg
said she had to find a job and raise her children, and although she was alone, she could feel her husband’s presence. They often heard footsteps in their Point Grove home and felt he was still there for them. “I had a friend I played with and she would tell me she could see him watching over us, but I never saw my father,” said Lavoie. The youngest son never knew his father in life but Flagg said he often spoke to him. “We would all be in the living room and he would go into the dining room where his toy box was and he would talk and laugh,” recalled Flagg. “When we asked him who he was talking to, he would say ‘Daddy’.” Lavoie said her father had nicknames for all the kids and no one else used them. Her youngest brother knew those nicknames and said their dad told him. Flagg made a career for herself and took care of her
children, eventually moving to a new home. Flagg’s birthday is Sept. 11, and on Sept. 11, 2001, when the world was being attacked by terrorists, her former family home on Point Grove Road burned down. “After work I went to watch, and it was pretty much burned down when I got there,” she said. “I opened my car door and told him to get in, and I still feel him with me today.” Pat McMahon of the Southwick Cultural Council also participated in the investigations and called the experience “wicked cool.” “I felt things and saw things go by me – it wasn’t scary though,” she said. Goff said he would like to do further investigations to uncover more paranormal activity in town nd 2 2 . t d c O frai A y

access to higher education, which he felt calling him back. He spoke about the concept of “Greater Westfield,” a new model of the university for the 21st century, offering a first rate education, experiential and service learning, and applied skills to allow students to “own” their education. He said the university needs to be more entrepreneurial, not tuition dependent, not state dependent. When asked what role the alumni would play in the Greater Westfield model, Fernandez said first as ambassadors of the Westfield experience. He said alumni are pushers and carriers of the legacy going forward, and must tell the Westfield story loud and clear. “What better storytellers than alumni?” he asked. Fernandez was also asked what integration possibilities exist between the town and the university. He responded that the 21st century university needs to be fully integrated in the community, becoming engaged in development and business startups. One idea he floated was the creation of an innovation fund. He said going down the road of experiential learning means taking skills from the classroom and embedding them outside the classroom for the common good. One of the vehicles he spoke about was service learning or project-based learning. He said business owners can open a door for internships, or pose a problem to business classes to solve, which would be a win-win for both sides. “I see the president as the ultimate facilitator,” he said. Fernandez said one of the first jobs for a new president is to create a vision and strategic plan for the next five years. “I always say, rooted in the past, branching into the future,” he said. He sees a critical role for alumni in defining that vision. Fernandez was asked how he would attain one of Westfield State’s goals of building an endowment for scholarships. He replied that the endowment needs to be significantly increased, given the size of the student body. “Scholarship is where my heart sings along with yours,” he said. He said that you have to have the right structures, the right people, the right case, and the right argument to grow endowments. Speaking to alumni, he called them “ambassadors for fundraising.”
Asked how he would maintain the close relationship with alumni, Fernandez said despite the pressures of modern life and technology, “human beings still want that personal touch. They want to be recognized, valued and heard.” He acknowledged that there are many pressures in being a leader, and that it is a challenge for him. “I am so goal-oriented,” he said. “I want to make sure that I get that endowment, etc.” He said the personal touch means so much, and he applauded Westfield State for being that kind of a “community of caring.” Fernandez talked about his Cuban-born father, who had a third grade education but who was “a great humanist,” always reaching out to people, something he passed down to him. When asked what intrigued him about Westfield State University, Fernandez said he read about Horace Mann and his vision. He said he needed the university to be serious about access and student success, and willing to embrace change and diversity. He added that it was clear to him that Westfield State is a community that cares deeply and wants to get along together to move the institution forward. Fernandez then asked the group what they believe are ”must haves” for a president. The answers ranged from transparency and fidelity, to leadership, to putting the best people in the positions they need to be in. Two people mentioned stability and accepting the role of president for an extended period of time. Fernandez said that several people had said that to him during the day of meetings. “In all candor,” he said. “I hear the need for stability, but you also need change, to move forward.” “Time alone is not a criterion for success,” he said. “I think you’re right in taking care in the selection of a new president.” He called the search a “legacy in the making,” one that will “encapsulate the aspirations for the future” of Westfield State. The selection process now moves into the hands of the Board of Trustees. Survey questions were sent out to members of the university community seeking comments about all three candidates: Linda Vaden-Goad, Ramon Torrecilha, and Fernandez. Once the Board of Trustees makes a selection, the candidate’s name will be presented to the Board of Higher Education for approval.
Joe
Continued from Page 4 think it’s fair to say, knowing him as well as we all do, that it won’t be a scripted affair — after all, it’s Joe.” Plus, said the Democrat close to the discussions, Biden did not appear to be deterred by Clinton’s and Sanders’ debate successes, and he could easily wait until at least after Clinton’s Benghazi Committee testimony on Capitol Hill next week, or longer, to see if she falters — which would risk the possibility that his campaign looks too opportunistic. “When it comes to delegates, you miss out on a couple of early-filing states, but that’s not the end of the world,” the Democrat said of a further delayed entry’s potential impact on the primary race. “If it looks like Hillary is stumbling and unelectable, her delegates will be the ones to jump.” “I think that the probability of Joe Biden running continued to increase before and after the debate, but it’s still 50-50 at best, because you cannot underestimate the importance of the calculations he’s going through with his family,” he added. Still, all the hemming and hawing hasn’t stopped Clinton and Sanders from continuing to act like they’re in a two-person race, with Clinton in particular focusing on gun control — an issue where Sanders is perceived as weaker with Democrats — on Friday. After the two reported on Thursday that they had a combined $60 million in cash on hand by the end of the third quarter, party members felt that Clinton and Sanders had reason to act like Biden was not their concern: he would have to raise far more than he ever has to catch up to them. And Clinton, sitting on $33 million and new polling showing her neck-and-neck with Sanders in New Hampshire — where he had led — demonstrated no hurry to get any clarity from Biden anytime soon when she spoke with CNN on Friday. “Certainly,” she said, “I’m not in any way suggesting or recommending that the vice president accept any timetable other than the one that is clicking inside of him.”

Brian Prather’s sets, lit nicely by Scott Bolman, are fine Jennifer Caprio has dressed the company in an array of styles from the Roaring 20s to the World War II era. Duke Lafoon is solid as George Bailey (the Jimmy Stewart part), and Kirsten Scott is lovely as Mary, his love interest and future wife. Frank Vlastnick charms as George’s guardian angel, Clarence. The ensemble, as always at Goodspeed, is excellent, and the orchestra is a joy to listen to. If you’ve never seen the Capra classic, It’s A Wonderful Life, it may be an advantage seeing A Wonderful Life, because you don’t know what happens next. If you have seen the

annual spring book sale are only two of the ways the Friends make a difference,” he said, noting that area residents can join the Friends group at any time of the year. “Any donations are tax deductible and all proceeds go directly to support the programs and services,” he said. While there are always infrastructure needs to address, Paquette is also bullish on expanding services and adding programs. “One goal is to do fun family programs,” he said, noting that as a parent, he and his
Officer
wife Kate also admit that finding a babysitter can be challenging at times. “We take our daughter, Ava, 2 ½, to as many programs as we can,” he said. “I’d like to see time set aside for programming for children and at the same time, offer a movie or lecture that the parents might enjoy in another part of the library.” Paquette also said his door is open to local organizations and businesses who would be interested in collaborating on projects to benefit patrons. “From Stanley Park to
Baystate Noble Hospital, I would like to see collaborations expand in the future at the Athenaeum,” he said. While Paquette has to continuously look around every nook and cranny for efficiencies and improvements that can be made, he knows he can rest assured that his staff is on duty to greet every patron and assist with any questions they may have. “Our customer friendly staff is warm and engaging,” he said. “I know how the staff is. That is why I wanted to come back.”

shortly after that,” Evans said. “And it’s nice to recognize him, put his name on the wall so generations to come will always remember Dennis and his family. And that’s what it’s all about.” Gregg Maloney, a Plymouth police officer who died last year in a motorcycle crash while on patrol, was also honored at the ceremony attended by police officers from around the state. Also added to the memorial were seven officers whose line-of-duty deaths were uncovered through research. They included Billerica officer Cassius White, who was killed by a drunken driver in 1936; Salisbury patrolman Willie Heath, who was fatally shot while responding to a post office robbery in 1913; and Lynn Lt. Nelson Doe, who was attacked by a rabid dog while walking his beat in 1896.

Lancers turn back WHS By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer LONGMEADOW – The Westfield High School football team is still in search of #1. Westfield dropped its sixth straight game to begin the 2015 regular season, losing to host Longmeadow, 45-27, Friday night. Longmeadow quarterback Scott
Elder completed 6-of-8 passes for 223 yards and three touchdowns – all three of which went to Max Rye (5 catches, 213 yards) – and five different Lancers rushed for a TD. Longmeadow led 13-0 after the first quarter and never looked back. Still, there were a couple of bright spots for the Bombers.
Westfield quarterback Scott Walsh finished 7-of-17 for 130 yards and two touchdowns. Wilton Royal had a very productive outing, rushing for 139 yards and one touchdown, and hauling in three passes for 50 yards.

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions... and maybe a few actual answers
SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves Matt Kenseth in trouble? No way, right?
3 THINGS WE LEARNED AT CHARLOTTE
Look out for that wall, Joey. ASSOCIATED PRESS/TERRY RENNA
Why could the Kansas winner be the happiest winner we’ve seen this year?
GODSPEAK: If he stumbles at Kansas, it's all over for Kenseth. KEN'S CALL: Anyone else but Mild Matt, I'd say it was time to panic. But something tells me he wins one of the next two weeks.
For the reason behind this coming Sunday’s big smiles, look ahead to the following Sunday, which brings Talladega. No one wants to go to Talladega with pressure to finish near the front, much less win. So if this week’s winner is a Chase driver other than Joey Logano, who’s already set for the next round, expect an extra joyous post-race burnout.
Who do you like at Kansas?
GODSPEAK: I like Ken's Call right here, but it will be more "Mad Max" Matt than mild. KEN'S CALL: As if you couldn't tell by the first question and answer? I'm taking Matt.
Wait, burnouts are still OK? For now, yes, but if NASCAR is serious about post-race tech, they should think about taming them.
Huh? You’re kidding, right?
If you were Joey Logano, would you park early the following week at Talladega? GODSPEAK: Take the green, then take it to the garage and root for his pal, "Kez." KEN'S CALL: Joey and this week's winner should suddenly develop vibration issues on Lap 2 at Talladega.

1. Hendrick blues
2. Snapshot finish
3. Busch baffling
Who would have thought that Hendrick Motorsports would have three cars finish 28th or worse at Charlotte? Any good signs? Ageless Jeff Gordon finished a strong eighth and helped his chances to advance into Chase Round 3. The “drive for five” lives.
Joey Logano won handily at Charlotte, with Kevin Harvick’s No. 4 Chevy in his rearview mirror. These two drivers have been the most dominating this season, and the finish proves the point. Martin Truex Jr., who is “Mr. Consistency,” finished third, right on cue.
The fact Kyle Busch has never won a race in the Chase segment of the season remains a real mystery, like Amelia Earhart’s disappearance or the Loch Ness monster. Busch finished 20th Sunday after his Toyota was sideswiped by Kyle Larson’s Chevy — during a caution period.

You heard me. Too often, those winning cars come into contact with the wall during all the smoke-bellowing, and might just magically bend something in a way that makes those incremental aero maneuvers impossible to detect — at least retroactively. There’s been talk of shenanigans, so maybe it’s time to come up with a new, original victory celebration. Bring back Alan Kulwicki’s “Polish Victory Lap,” perhaps.

3 THINGS TO WATCH 1. Further review So, we have all been swept up into the Chase hype, and there is nothing wrong with that. But just take a look at the past five weeks of racing and you see some surprising names among the top 10. Kyle Larson was seventh at Chicagoland and ninth at Dover, while Aric Almirola was fifth at Dover, 10th at Charlotte and fourth at Richmond. It looks like those two drivers are building momentum for the 2016 season.
2. Tensions rising Tension and anxiety are natural byproducts for drivers
after exiting his car. Ryan Newman was ticked off that Matt Kenseth pushed him into the wall, but Kenseth finished 42nd and is now last in the playoff standings.
3. NB-See it Aric Almirola may not bring that Fu Manchu moustache with him into the 2016 NASCAR Cup Series, but he is quietly building momentum going into next season. JONATHAN MOORE/GETTY IMAGES
involved in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Chase playoffs. Kyle Busch finished 20th and looked like he was about to release steam from his ears
Hey, don’t take a swing at the messenger; blame Mother Nature. The Charlotte race was supposed to be on NBC Saturday night, but was postponed by rain and rescheduled Sunday. NBC had to kick it over to baby brother NBC Sports Network. If the skies remain clear in the Midwest on Sunday, the race will be shown on NBC's mothership network.

DARK HORSE: Tony Stewart DON’T BE SURPRISED IF: Kenseth goes all out at Kansas because he knows Talladega is simply a crapshoot.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Carl Edwards
DALE EARNHARDT JR. VS. CARL EDWARDS: Junior says Edwards “put us in the wall,” but wasn’t sure if it was intentional or just racin’. He is going to review the tape. GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: There is a little edge between these guys. What will Junior’s investigation reveal? Will this go to trial?

Annie’s Mailbox By KATHY MITCHELL and MARCY SUGAR
Frustrated
Dear Annie: I have been living with my husband for 12 years. He will be 50 in a few months and our daughter is only 11. The problem is, my husband is ill and his doctor is predicting that he may be wheelchair bound and possibly completely paralyzed between now and early next year. I am afraid I may not be able to care for him when that time comes. Since he is not a senior citizen, what places might accommodate him if he needs round-the-clock care? Are there places like nursing homes and assisted-living centers for someone who is only middle aged and wheelchair bound? -- No Name USA Dear No Name: Absolutely. Most nursing homes and assisted-living facilities that take senior citizens also take anyone who is disabled, regardless of age. The only issue would be the cost. Does your husband qualify for Medicaid? You can find out at medicaid-guide.org. You didn’t specify your husband’s illness, but there may be a support organization for people with his disability that can help guide you through the options, including caring for him at home with daily assistance. Please look into it. Dear Annie: I wish my neighbors would try to put themselves in my place. I live in a nice suburban neighborhood near a beachside community. The last thing I would want to do is bother my neighbors with noise or activities that would require them to put on headphones. Yet, here is what I have had to contend with in the past few years: skateboarding in front of my house and into my driveway; playing basketball past 10 p.m.; security lights shining into my window; dogs barking for hours; and loud parties for young children that go on past dinnertime. I would be mortified if I did anything that would make my neighbors think I was so inconsiderate. I chose a nonbarking breed of dog, and my two children never imposed on others’ space while still managing to have fun. Noises are expected from gardeners, roofers and construction workers, but these are temporary. If anyone reads this and sees themselves, please remember that unless you live on a deserted island, being a good neighbor means respecting others, too. -- Peaceful Neighbor Dear Peaceful: You sound especially considerate, and unfortunately, a great many people are not. Too many folks think only of themselves without paying the slightest attention to behavior that may be extremely annoying to the neighbors. We hope everyone who reads this will take a moment and consider whether they could be a little more thoughtful and kind to those around them. Dear Annie: My wife had the perfect solution to getting a husband to do her bidding: She told me what to do and I did it. When I asked, “What’s for dinner?” She replied, “Anything you want to make.” So I did the cooking. Actually, this started before we were married. A week before I left for the army, she called and asked what I wanted to do that day. I said it was up to her. She wanted to get married. So we did. It was a perfect marriage that lasted 54 years until she passed. -- M.Z. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
HINTS FROM HELOISE HALLOWEEN CAN BE SCARY FOR PETS Dear Readers: HALLOWEEN is just about here, and there have already been some darling Halloween pet costume contests here in San Antonio. Hint: If you put your pet in a costume, please be sure the dog or cat is OK with it! They will tell you! Be sure they can see out the eyeholes and that nothing is too tight. Trick-or-treaters can scare pets! If yours are skittish, please put them in a room or make sure they can’t scoot out the door when it’s open to hand out candy. Speaking of candy, most is very bad for dogs and cats. Anything that is sugar-free can be very harmful to dogs. Chocolate is loaded with fat and caffeine. The health effects of chocolate on dogs? It depends on the size of the dog (a Great Dane or a 3-pound Chihuahua) and the type of chocolate. Dark chocolate is most harmful. -- Heloise PET PAL Dear Readers: Julie in San Antonio sent a picture of her adorable senior dachshund, Miles, drifting off to sleep on the pillow in Julie’s bed. Visit www.Heloise.com and click on “Pet of the Week”! -- Heloise SAFETY ALERT Dear Readers: To alert firefighters to the presence of children and pets: * Let neighbors know about children and pets in your house. * Tell 911 operators who and how many are in the home. * Window clings and decals are available. -- Heloise

DOG EAT DOUG
Brian Anderson
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Oct. 17, 2015: This year you might be testing your limits more than you realize. You will be unusually prone to taking risks. Be careful, as you might regret this behavior at a later point. If you are single, you meet people with ease and enjoy many different personality types. Your love of socializing might be a reason not to commit this year, but you likely will meet Mr. or Ms. Right soon afterward. If you are attached, the two of you notice a new intensity and a need to share even more. You appreciate having a strong friendship within a loving relationship. SAGITTARIUS often challenges you to join him or her. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH Keep reaching out to someone whom you would like to get to know better. You could surprise others with your willingness to take off on an adventure. You have a lot of energy, so use it well. You might have a secret admirer. Look around. Tonight: Opt for different. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Reach out to a dear friend whom you care a lot about. You have been gaining insights when relating to this person, and today will be no different. One-on-one relating proves to be unusually fulfilling. You have energy and intent when relating to this person. Tonight: Dinner for two. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH If you rein in your need to be the alpha dog, friends will make plans that include you. Although you like to have more control, you’ll delight in the roller coaster ride that they have unintentionally provided. You could have a ball. Tonight: Keep on going. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You could be in a situation where you feel the need to change direction. Know that an unexpected offer or situation might force you in a new direction anyway. You likely will be surprised by an older relative who seems to have forgotten his or her age. Tonight: As you like it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You could be off having a great time, enjoying a special person in your life. You can’t seem to give this person enough time. Use today to devote your attention to this person. As a result, you will see the tension that has existed between you dissolve. Tonight: Very playful. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You put your best foot forward, no matter what you do or whom you are with. You have a great deal of sensitivity and energy. A conversation reveals a different perspective about a major purchase. You could be surprised by what happens if you negotiate. Tonight: Invite friends over. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Pick up the phone and catch up on news with a friend. You might opt to meet someone for a late lunch and/or a movie. Listen to your sixth sense regarding a loved one. Perhaps you have been making judgments that are not valid. Tonight: Hang out with a favorite person. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Understand that extremes won’t help you with your finances or with an emotional situation. You have been replaying a scenario over and over in your mind, but you haven’t come up with a viable way to proceed. Test out a few ideas on a friend. Tonight: Make it your treat. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH You could feel tense, as you know you must make an important appearance with a parent or boss. You will do what is needed, and gracefully at that. Catch up on friends’ news. You could be delighted by what you hear. Make plans that keep you close to home. Tonight: Be gracious. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Be willing to reach out to someone at a distance. The conversation you have could be unusually meaningful to both of you. Make plans to get together in the near future. Buy tickets to a concert or a special event. Tonight: Relax in a very different environment. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You’ll have a choice to make between hanging out with friends and getting together with a special person in your life. Don’t overthink this decision. Allow a little more closeness into your life. Someone might have exciting news

to share. Tonight: Choose a favorite stressbuster. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You might confuse a friend or partner without intending to. You could be overtired and be delighted to have someone else take the lead. However, you still might not be able to just hang at home and veg, as a project demands your attention. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.
