New school needed, process still questioned By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Earlier this month, Hampden County Superior Court Judge Richard J. Carey ruled in favor of the city of Westfield’s Zoning Board of Appeals, rejecting an appeal filed by Cross Street residents two years ago. But many in the city are still wondering whether the reason for the appeal – a proposed 96,000 square foot school building to be erected on the site of the former Ashley Street school – is still too big for it’s designated
plot. Carey ruled that the ZBA’s decision was legal and awarded the city summary judgment on June 18, over two years after the board voted to grant a dimensional special permit to the city on November 16, 2011. The dimensional special permit is required because two wings of the school are less than 20 feet from the west side property line. City ordinance in a residence B zone requires a side yard setback of at least 20 feet. The city purchased land from the St. Peter and St.

Casimir Church to bring the setback into compliance with city zoning ordinances. The argument that because the church kept an easement, that land should not be included in the setback calculation, was rejected by Carey in his decision. While the impending closures of the Juniper Park, Abner Gibbs, and Franklin Avenue Elementary Schools has necessitated the construction of a new school large enough to fit 600-plus students, the building’s size is the very source of contention among neighbors.
Among the most vocal opponents of the school is Thomas Smith, a Holyoke resident whose mother lives on Cross Street and who led the initial 10-person lawsuit against the city in 2011, citing Article 97 in the Massachusetts Constitution, which allows cities and towns to set aside alternate land in return for the use of protected land, so long as the swapped site is “land of equal utility.” Ward 4 City Councilor Mary O’Connell, who has been painted as an opponent of the project, said she understands the need, but has her

Suspect steals to return to jail By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A Springfield man who later said that he wanted to go back to jail reportedly stole a pack of cigarettes from the hand of a convenience store clerk last night. City police report that officers Michael Csekovsky and Richard Mazza responded to a 8:19 p.m. report of a larceny at the Main Street Cumberland Farms store and a bystander reported that the described suspect had walked toward the center of the city when he left the store. Mazza found the man at a nearby bus stop. Csekovsky spoke with the store clerk who reported that a man he described had asked for a pack of Marlboro 100 cigarettes and, after he took the pack from the rack but before he could ring up the sale, the suspect took the cigarettes from his hand and started leaving the store. The clerk told Csekovsky that he told the man that he had to pay for the cigarettes or he would call police and the man reportedly said “go ahead.” Mazza reports that he asked the suspect at the bus stop if he attempted to steal a pack of cigarettes from the store and the man replied “I didn’t attempt to steal them. I stole them.” The suspect, later identified as John Skowron Kirwan, 40, of 27 Morris St., Springfield, told Csekovsky that he was on probation and wanted to go back to jail.
reservations. “I’m more against the process,” she said, adding that she questions whether the City Council took shortcuts to approve the project, and felt that the Cross Street contingent didn’t get “a fair chance to voice their opposition.” “I don’t think it’s a great site for the school. I think the building is too big for the site,” she said. “But if the processes were all followed, and things were done legally, I accept that this is school department jurisdiction. I’m

Team USA fans gather downtown By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – It’s an event that arrives every four years and subsequently captivates the world, and this year, it seems as if even Americans are catching “futbol fever.” The round of 16 for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Soccer Tournament is now over, with usual suspects such as Argentina, Brazil, France, Germany, and the Netherlands advancing to the quarterfinal
round. While the United States Men’s National Team failed to advance following a 2-1 loss to Belgium yesterday, futbol fever had infected downtown Westfield. Approximately 200 spectators from Westfield and beyond gathered their lawn chairs in front of a large projector screen on the downtown green See World Cup, Page 8

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Water Commission recently sent a recommendation to Mayor Daniel M. Knapik and the City Council to increase the sewer fee by 9 percent, an increase needed to generate sufficient operational revenue at the city’s wastewater treatment plant. The sewer rates are set by the City Council. City Engineer Mark Cressotti and Water Resource Superintendent Dave Billips made the case to the commission last night that the proposed increase is insufficient to maintain existing sewer infrastructure and to finance major sewer expansion projects. Currently at 16 existing pump stations, with two new pump houses proposed to expand sewer service to areas of Montgomery Road in Ward 1 and to the Plantation Circle, Jessie Lane, Deborah Lane neighborhood in Ward 5. “They are pretty expensive pieces of the system that are more likely to fail,” Cressotti said. “Four or five months ago you voted to recommend to the City Council a sewer rate adjustment of about 9 percent in response to an operational See Sewer Rate, Page 3

By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A four-year-old girl was taken to Baystate Medical Center with an apparently serious foot injury after she struck a vehicle in a parking lot Saturday. Multiple callers starting at 4:12 p.m. reported that the girl had been stuck by a car and she was reported to be bleeding seriously from a foot injury. Officer Patrick Shea responded and reports that he was told that the girl had been riding a battery powered scooter when she left the sidewalk and struck the driver’s side door of a vehicle pulling into a parking space. The girl’s foot went under the 1999 Ford Taurus as it was parking and the driver’s side rear wheel ran over the girl’s foot. The girl was transported to Baystate Medical Center by Westfield Fire
By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – Neighbors of 13 Point Grove Road submitted a citizen’s petition to the Southwick Planning Board asking for a revision of bylaws pertaining to livestock on residential property. In April, the neighbors complained about the homeowner and the number of animals on the property to the Board of Selectmen. A tall fence, goats and rabbits, unregistered vehicles, and too many dwellers in the home were their chief complaints. Building Inspector Denis Gaido said at that time he was aware of the concerns and everything at the home was fine. “They’re doing everything they’re supposed to be doing,” said Gaido. “As far as zoning and everything goes, they’re okay.” Last night Planning Board Chairman Douglas Moglin said the bylaw concerning livestock states the animals can be kept in a lot not less than 100-feet from the street and an adjacent dwelling.
By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The City Council approved several interdepartmental transfers and appropriations Monday night as it moved money to close the Fiscal Year 2014 budget and to move any unencumbered funds into the city’s stabilization account. Mayor Daniel M. Knapik submitted several year-end appropriations, forcing the council to do its own math to come up with the amount of free cash and reserve for unforeseen funds available to be transferred into stabilization. The council has to address the

Police: Burglary suspect made getaway in kayak AUSTIN, Minn. (AP) — Police used a boat to catch a burglary suspect who made his getaway in a kayak in southern Minnesota. The 31-year-old man from Austin, Minnesota, was arrested Sunday as he tried to kayak away from a restaurant with allegedly stolen items. Police say the restaurant was closed when an employee giving a tour interrupted a burglary. Officers found two people in kayaks on the Cedar River and got one to talk to them. That information led police to believe the second man was involved in the burglary. Police got a fire department boat and, with a firefighter driving, were able to catch the kayaker. Authorities recovered cleaning supplies and lighters apparently taken from the restaurant. The Post-Bulletin (http://bit.ly/1rUWC6i ) reports the suspect faces burglary charges.

not fighting the school per se.” “Early on the Mayor said that this school plan is perfect for this lot, and that we will not be forced to take any neighboring property to make it fit,” O’Connell said. “Then almost immediately he puts forth a motion to council to take neighboring properties. Does it fit well? I’m not an architect, but it doesn’t appear to my untrained eye (to fit well).” O’Connell has been told that the building will be as tall as Fenway Park’s Green Monster and reiterated her stance. “I think there was some misinformation on applications that gave us permission to build that building,” she said. “If everything is legal, good for them, but common sense doesn’t indicate that this (building) is good for this lot.” Westfield Mayor Daniel M. Knapik, who ran on a platform advocating for the building of the new school, downplays the opinions of those questioning it’s size. “It’s not a lot of people. It really isn’t,” said Knapik, himself a Ward 2 resident. “Look at the poll returns between (Michael) Roeder and myself in Ward 2B, the ward where that school is slated to be. Mr. Roeder was a clear opponent (of the school) and he lost handily in that precinct.” “If it’s too big, it wouldn’t have passed the planning board’s site approval,” he said. “We didn’t have to abridge or get any special permits for the site, so it’s an opinion that it’s too big. The fact of the matter is, it met all of the spacial requirements for approval, it is within the zoning for that neighborhood with it’s height.” Knapik stated that the nearby Alice Burke Apartment building measures out to between 30,000 and 40,000 square feet and has multiple stories. “As far as the population of the school goes, it is consistent with Southampton Road, Highland, Munger and Papermill. All are in the neighborhood of a 500 to 550 capacity,” he said, addressing the school’s population concerns and adding that Highland and Southampton Road each required additions to accommodate more students. Ward 2 City Councilor and retired educator Ralph Figy is a proponent of the building. “If we didn’t have a lawsuit by the Cross Street people, we would be all set and the building would be almost done,” he said before referencing the building’s size. “It passed all the boards. It has got all the permits, so everything is there and it is all legal.”
Sewer Rate expense shortage. “But you will need $7.5 million to upgrade the city’s pump stations,” Cressotti said. “And we’ve had numerous discussions with members of the City Council about extending the sewer system, which historically we’ve done with the I&I (Inflow and Infiltration) reserve fund, but we have not kept up with that expansion. “We have a problem (financing) infrastructure improvements and sewer expansion in general,” Cressotti said. “Some neighborhoods can’t wait 15 or 20 years, so do we try to advance (the schedule) for sewer expansion efforts.” Cressotti estimated the cost of major sewer expansion projects at about $2 million each, with projects pending in all six city wards. The city would have to bond for major sewer expansion projects and the sewer fees, paid by residents currently connected to the sanitary sewer system, will need to generate sufficient revenue to pay for those bonds.

Jail
Continued from Page 1 He said that if he wasn’t arrested then police would be dealing with him again later. Kirwan was arrested for shoplifting by asportation and is expected to be arraigned today in Westfield District Court.
“I don’t know why they think it’s too big, other than that they took that one ball field away,” Figy said. “That is the “T” that wasn’t crossed and the “I” that wasn’t dotted in the whole application process.” He added that many urban schools are being built on small footprints today. “It’s not a mega-school – it’s a model school,” he said. “It’s going to have different wings for different age groups. It’s going to be like three smaller schools within a school.” Westfield School Superintendent Dr. Suzanne Scallion believes the school’s population and size are non-issues. “We have schools that already have over 500 kids in them now. We’re talking about a capacity of 50 more than that,” she said, remarking at the proposed building’s efficiency. “It’s set up to have clusters of 200 students each, so you could essentially have a kindergarten/first grade area. It’s not like we’re going to have 600 students running around this building.” Scallion added that she has visited schools in western Massachusetts with similar construction to the proposed Ashley Street building and said that she doesn’t believe the school’s design is too big. “The site was selected before I got here, but all across America, schools are being put in tight, urban settings because we want proximity to where kids live,” she said. “Over time, the cost to transport these kids is going to be in the millions and millions and millions of dollars, and cities are trying to reduce those costs by having kids walk.” “There are two different types of classrooms we can use – we can have portables or modulars,” she said. “They’re beautiful. They aren’t like the trailers we used at the Voke. We’ll make the best of it until we’re ready.” “It will likely start in the spring of 2015, and you can go on 12-18 months after that. We’re probably looking at Christmastime 2016,” Knapik said regarding the school’s timetable for opening. “The Superintendent has procured the services of an architect to help guide her team to what the final disposition will be for the kids at Juniper. We have a whole year to plan that.” “We’ll be developing a request for proposal (RFP) for space and it will go out shortly. We’ll see what comes back and we’ll take it from there,” Scallion said, adding that she hopes for the proposals to be out August 1.
Continued from Page 1 “My recommendation to you is that you send the City Council a request to increase the sewer fee 3 to 5 percent over the next five to 10 years,” Cressotti said. Billips said a 5 percent rate increase provides an additional $200,000 in revenue a year to the department. “Our water and sewer rates, as I’ve been saying for years, are grievously low, at the bottom of rate structures in the region,” Billips said. “We just had two condemned pump stations that we have to repair at a cost of $1 million each.” The state Department of Environmental Protection conducts annual inspections of the city’s pump stations. The DEP notified the city on April 7 that the Pochassic Street and the Ponders Hollow pump station both contain “unsafe” pressure vessels that need to be replaced with pressure tanks which comply with current state law and code requirements. “The problem is that the tanks were installed and the stations built around them,” Billips
said. “We don’t have too much time to bring them into compliance.” Commission Chairman Ron Cole said that the board needs justification of a substantial rate increase before it can make any recommendation to the City Council. “There needs to be some level of prioritization, a list of projects we’re looking to do and the cost of bonding for that work,” Cole said. “I’m not comfortable enough to give you blank authority. From my perspective we have to have something to go to the City Council, projects and cost figures. “We need a long-term perspective on how we manage rates,” Cole said. “This is the work we need to do. We can go to the City Council when we have a defensible position, a punch list of what has to be done and how to finance that.” Billips suggested retaining Tighe & Bond to perform an assessment of the infrastructure improvements and sewer system expansion, a study which
Livestock Change Continued from Page 1
Board Vice Chairperson Roz Terry said the neighbors may be happy with a word change that states the animals need to be 100feet from the homeowner’s own property line, rather than the next house. The petitioners did not submit a specific request, Terry said, so the board was not able to take up the petition last night. Moglin said he would like the group to come to the August meeting to discuss the outcome. “Or a spokesperson could come,” Terry said. The board wondered if they should invite Animal Control Officer Tracy Root to the meeting but Moglin said the concern is a zoning issue. In April, Root said she received several complaints about goats and other animals at the home in the past week. Root said the homeowners appear to be within their rights. “They are in the Residential-20 zone, which allows for livestock on properties over 40,000 square-feet,” said Root. “That property is 40,075 square-feet.” Root said the law allows up to 25 poultry on a property that size. “They can also keep goats and saddle horses,” Root said. The board agreed to incite the petitioners to attend the Aug. 5 meeting.
will help the commission identify priority projects. “We have a proposal from Tighe & Bond to do the same thing for the sewers that they did for the water,” Billips said. Cole said the commission would support that type of study which will provide a scope and cost of work and the sewer rates needed to support those improvements.

Transfers
Continued from Page 1 appropriations and transfers before it could get to the bottom line for the stabilization transfer, which the councilors had done at the previous June 19 meeting. The council’s June 19 vote to move free cash and reserve for unforeseen was overturned by City Auditor Deborah Strycharz who issued a finding that all appropriations have to originate in the city’s executive branch, the mayor’s office, and that the city’s legislative branch, the City Council, can approve or disapprove appropriations submitted by the executive branch, but cannot initiate that action on its own. At-large Councilor James R. Adams initiated the discussion when he asked if there were funds remaining in the free cash and reserve for unforeseen accounts following the council’s June 19 vote to sweep remaining funds in those accounts into stabilization. Ward 1 Councilor Christopher Keefe, serving as President Pro Tem in the absence of Council President Brent B. Bean II, explained the finding issued by Strycharz. “There is $2.4 million and change in free cash,” Keefe said. “The auditor (issued a finding that) all appropriations have to originate with the mayor.” Ward 4 Councilor Mary O’Connell said that she researched the City Council records for the past nine years, finding that the council acted, on its own, to make the year-end financial transfers. “We’ve always done this on our own,” O’Connell said. “They have never been initiated by the mayor in office at that time. Now all of a sudden it’s not right to do it that way.” At-large Councilor Brian Sullivan said the council members had the ability to vote no on the appropriations and then approve the free cash amounts they approved at the June 19 meeting. The stabilization transfer was tabled until the end of the meeting after the council considered several appropriation requests, approving some, but rejecting others which council members felt could wait until the 2015 fiscal year began July 1. The councilors approved a free cash appropriation of $58,044 for Westfield Vocational-Technical High School educations accounts and a $38,655 transfer from the reserve for unforeseen to replace the wireless technology at Westfield High School. Keefe, as the council’s Finance Committee chairman, usually does the math but had no computer access at Bean’s desk, relying on At-large Councilor David A. Flaherty to do the math to calculate the amounts being swept into stabilization. Keefe requested Flaherty to break it down for clarity of the motions to transfer from free cash and reserve for unforeseen. Flaherty calculated that the total amount being transferred into stabilization, following approval of the appropriations, at $2,411,875.22 from free cash and $12,406.64 from reserve for unforeseen. The funds were transferred into the city’s stabilization account to make them immediately available with the start of the 2015 fiscal year. Had they remained in the free cash and reserve for unforeseen accounts, they would have not been available to the city until the state Department of Revenue certified the city’s books, which usually happens in November or December. Appropriations from stabilization require the affirmative vote of nine council members.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR To the Voters of Westfield: Summer is in full swing and nobody is ready to think about the Fall months ahead. Sadly they will be here before you know it. One part of Fall is election time and once again we will vote for our State Representative. On April 1, 2014 we elected John Velis to represent our city in Boston. Since the day he was sworn in, John has been busy attending various functions around the city, getting to know the local business and residents. Most importantly, John has been going to Boston and working hard with our best interest in mind. As many of you may be aware, Dan Allie is once again going to run for the seat of State Representative for Westfield. It seems that since we elected him to City Council all he has done is campaign for another position. Is he truly dedicated to our city or is he dedicated to furthering himself politically. Would this be the case if he were elected State Representative, would he continue to seek greater political seats? This is not in our best interest. I truly believe that John has given us his heart and soul in the few months since he was sworn in. Please take some time over the summer to stop in at his “Office Hours” at The Senior Center or City Hall and say hello. Talk with him, tell him your concerns or just ask him what goes on in Boston. He is a pleasure to speak with. I think you will agree he is the right guy for us in Boston. Thank you, Dawn Medeiros

Obama mocks Congress on highway spending By Kevin Robillard Politico.com President Barack Obama openly mocked Congress on Tuesday for failing to fix the looming shortfall in the federal Highway Trust Fund — and took some shots at House Speaker John Boehner’s threats to sue him for overstepping his powers. “I haven’t heard a good reason for why they haven’t acted,” Obama said of the lawmakers in a speech in front of the Key Bridge, which connects Washington to Arlington, Virginia. “It’s not like they’re busy with other stuff.” The mockery was reminiscent of the all-out sarcasm the president has used lately to attack congressional Republicans’ attitudes toward climate change, but this time he turned it to another of his perennial themes: boosting infrastructure spending to create jobs. “As long as they’re doing nothing, I’m not going to apologize for doing something,” Obama said. He added, “So sue me.” Obama noted that soon, money derived from the trust fund is supposed to go toward repairing the bridge. But the fund itself, which provides more than half of many states’ road construction and repair budgets, is set to begin running dry in August, and Congress has yet to settle on short- or long-term fixes. The administration has said 700,000 jobs are at risk if Congress fails to act. “That’d be like Congress threatening to lay off the entire population of Denver or Seattle or Boston,” Obama said. “That’s a lot of people.” The administration has put forward a $402 billion, four-year transportation bill that would be partially paid for with revenues from tax reform, a long shot in the current Congress. But Obama said he would continue to push his idea. Speaking in front of a bridge named after the author of “The Star-Spangled Banner” three days before the Fourth of July, Obama framed his agenda as one of “economic patriotism” that would help the country keep up with other economic powers, like China and Germany. “It shouldn’t be controversial,” Obama said of infrastructure spending. “It hasn’t been controversial in the past.”
Why the Civil Rights Act couldn’t pass today By Todd S. Purdum Politico.com It was a painful tableau: The bipartisan leaders of Congress linking hands in the Capitol Rotunda and swaying to the strains of “We Shall Overcome” as they commemorated the 50th anniversary of the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi sang along with the crowd, but Mitch McConnell and John Boehner’s lips were frozen in silent, selfconscious smiles. The climate in today’s Washington is so different from the one that produced what many scholars view as the most important law of the 20th century that celebrating the law’s legacy is awkward for Republicans and Democrats alike. Neither party bears much resemblance to its past counterpart, and the bipartisanship that carried the day then is now all but dead. Congress is deadlocked on every big question, from immigration reform to a grand bargain on taxes and spending, so it’s hard to believe the two parties once cooperated to address the single most controversial domestic issue of the day — legal equality for the races — or that Lyndon B. Johnson signed the bill 50 years ago Wednesday, in the middle of a presidential election year. Now Boehner is suing President Barack Obama for failing to faithfully execute the laws, and Reid inveighs daily about the Koch brothers’ contributions to GOP causes. The current congressional leaders gathered last week not to honor Johnson — or any of the legislative leaders who actually passed the landmark law — but to award a posthumous Congressional Gold Medal to The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his wife, Coretta Scott King, whose crusade helped create the climate that made the bill possible. In his life, racial tensions helped make King such a polarizing figure that both Johnson and John F. Kennedy worried about seeming too close to him, but in martyrdom and myth, he is the only politically safe ground on which present day leaders could unite. Yes, Reid paid tribute to the bill’s Republican floor leader, Thomas Kuchel of California (though he mispronounced his name as KEE-chul, not KEE-kul). And Boehner invoked the crucial role played by his fellow Ohio Republican, Rep. William McCulloch, in helping Kennedy and Johnson pass the bill, but the very next day, Boehner betrayed McCulloch’s bipartisan legacy by announcing his intention to sue Obama for usurping congressional powers. “The Republican Party today doesn’t really honor its past,” said Geoffrey Kabaservice, author of “Rule and Ruin: The Downfall of Moderation and the Destruction of the Republican Party from Eisenhower to the Tea Party.” “The Republican Party that had been ceased to be sometime in the 1980s, and the modern party — the radical conservative party — not only has little or no interest in honoring its history, it is actively hostile to it.” Part of the problem is this: Although the Civil Rights Act passed the Senate by 73-27, with 27 out of 33 Republican votes, one of the six Republicans who voted against it was Barry Goldwater of Arizona, who weeks later became the GOP’s presidential standard-bearer and started the long process by which the Party of Lincoln became the party of white backlash, especially in the South. Today, Republicans hold complete legislative control in all 11 states of the Old Confederacy for only the second time since Reconstruction. Current GOP Chairman Reince Priebus has hired dozens of black and Latino field organizers, and he himself has made the rounds to historically black colleges and universities in an effort to launch College Republican chapters there. “Having bipartisanship on campus and giving our students options is really important,” he told a gathering at Central State University near Dayton, Ohio, in May. But the position of the GOP’s congressional wing on issues from immigration, to voting rights, to the minimum wage (while helping to rack up Republican victories in individual districts) is broadly alienating to most African-American voters. So are efforts at the state level to impose new voter identification laws or other limits on access to the ballot box that disproportionately affect black voters. All that makes it hard for today’s GOP to lay plausible claim to its undisputed legacy on civil rights. At the same time, the Democratic Party’s stance on civil rights has steadily shifted from the color-blind approach of 50 years ago — a belief that if blacks and whites were granted equal standing at the ballot box and in public spaces and the workplace, justice would prevail — to an emphasis on color-conscious remedies like affirmative action and social programs that redistribute wealth. “Republicans have never gotten on board with that last piece,” Kabaservice said, “and so Democrats now almost have to define Republicans as anti-civil rights.” Indeed, Democrats have seized that viewpoint, sharpening their civil rights rhetoric against Republicans to the point where bipartisanship on the issue has all but disappeared. Obama himself has found it difficult, and even politically dangerous, to discuss questions of race too frankly in public, and he issued an anodyne proclamation in honor of the bill’s anniversary, pledg-
ing to “renew our commitment to building a freer, fairer, greater society” but making no mention of the Republicans’ crucial role in its passage. At a forum at the Library of Congress the same day as the Rotunda ceremony — co-sponsored by Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Texas) to commemorate LBJ’s role in passing the bill — few if any Republicans were in attendance, and Rep. Corrine Brown (D-Fla.) made a fiery speech, noting that “the Red South” could yet be vanquished if hundreds of thousands of unregistered black voters signed up and cast ballots for Democrats. The forum was interrupted by examples of the attention-deficit disorder so common to Congress’ three-day workweek (Pelosi ducked in before rushing to an event on pediatric AIDS; Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) ducked out to attend a book signing for his own memoir) that some who might have most benefited from the message were not there to hear Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.). Fifty years ago, as a young leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, Lewis endured vicious beatings from racists, but he chose to recall that era’s “coalition of conscience,” and of the role of Republicans like Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen (R-Ill.) in passing the bill. Asked by the panel’s moderator, Johnson’s former aide, Tom Johnson, to explain how that coalition fell apart, Lewis confessed that he had no ready or easy answer. It fell to Johnson’s daughter, Lynda Johnson Robb, to remind the audience that one top Republican, House Minority Leader Charles Halleck (R-Ind.) actually lost his leadership for daring to work too closely with her father in the support of civil rights and other measures, to the ire of his conservative caucus. Indeed, to a degree astounding to modern partisan sensibilities, Republican congressional leaders effectively neutralized civil rights as a political issue in 1964, by cooperating with northern Democrats to pass the bill, instead of torturing the opposing party by letting it fall victim to its internal divisions on civil rights. And Halleck was not the only Republican to pay a price. Four years later, on the night of Robert Kennedy’s assassination in 1968, Kuchel, the Senate’s Republican whip, who had tirelessly supported civil rights, lost the California Republican primary to Max Rafferty, the conservative state superintendent of education. Rafferty charged that Kuchel was a creature of Washington, too consumed with national issues, not loyal enough to Republican orthodoxy and out of touch with the folks back home. Eric Cantor’s recent defeat is a reminder that some things haven’t changed in 50 years. Perhaps the most pointed question of the week was asked by Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.), who mused aloud about what King and his contemporaries would think of today’s climate in the capital. “Would they not challenge us,” he wondered, “to come together across lines of party and geography in a great cause?” But the “great cause” Levin went on to cite — restoration of a key provision of the 1965 Voting Rights Act that the Supreme Court struck down last year — is given no chance of passing the House, despite co-sponsorship from Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) for creating new criteria for determining which states must obtain approval from the Justice Department before changing their voting laws. “There are no real Republican leaders on civil rights or voting rights, aside from Sensenbrenner,” said Richard Hasen, a law professor at the University of California, Irvine, and author of the Election Law Blog. “And it’s only going to get more awkward, because we’re coming up on the 50th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The anniversaries of all these just serve to show how different things are today.”

Ballot question backers face one more deadline BOSTON (AP) — Supporters of a handful of remaining ballot initiatives are facing a final deadline as they try to get their questions before voters in November. Wednesday is the last day for supporters to deliver a second batch of more than 11,000 certified voter signatures to state Secretary William Galvin’s office. The remaining questions would repeal the state’s casino gambling law, mandate earned sick time for Massachusetts workers, expand the bottle deposit law to include sports drinks and other beverages, and repeal a new law linking future hikes in the gas tax to the rate of inflation. Three other questions have been withdrawn after lawmakers took action to address the issues. Those withdrawn questions include a proposed hike in the minimum wage. Supporters pulled question after lawmakers passed and Gov. Deval Patrick signed a minimum wage hike.
Massachusetts high court pick facing hearing BOSTON (AP) — Gov. Deval Patrick’s pick to fill an upcoming vacancy on the state’s highest court is the subject of a confirmation hearing at the Statehouse. Patrick last month tapped appeals court judge Geraldine Hines for a spot on the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. The 66-year-old would fill the seat left vacant when associate SJC justice Ralph Grants becomes chief justice of the court. The current chief justice, Roderick Ireland, is retiring. Hines previously served on the Superior Court and would be the first black woman to sit on the SJC if confirmed. The Mississippi native also worked as a private attorney and law professor. On Wednesday the Governor’s Council is planning to hold a confirmation hearing on Hines’ nomination. Patrick said when he nominated her that the legal community had been effusive in its support of Hines.
Long missing powder horn back at Deerfield museum DEERFIELD, Mass. (AP) — An intricately carved Colonial-era powder horn has been returned to a western Massachusetts museum 65 years after it was stolen. The 1760 horn, originally owned by Greenfield resident Jonathan Smead, went missing from the Pocumtuck Va l l e y Memorial Association’s Memorial Hall Museum in Deerfield in 1949. It was actually found in the 1950s by Longmeadow resident James Richardson, who as a child, loved to scour through the town dump for unusual items. The Recorder (http://bit. ly/1m85CUo ) reports that when he found it, he had no idea it was stolen. Richardson, now 77, kept it for decades until he took it to be appraised recently and found out about its rightful owner.

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

SPL teen poetry contest winners announced SOUTHWICK — The Southwick Public Library’s Young Adult Department is pleased to announce the winner of our Teen Poetry Contest is Cameron Young for his poem “Life of Color.” Cameron won a Sports Authority gift card.

Life of Color By Cameron Young

In one life, Many colors are seen. A color for happiness or strife, One yellow, one as a maroon bean.
Green, for clever ploy Meant to hide hideous envy. Such thoughts then employ Naught but Seven Sins deadly.
In my life, Color is bountiful: Jagged, like a knife, But true; it’s beautiful.
Blue, for all that be teary. For rain, for a face. Eyes that are true and bleary Turn tears into patterns of lace.
A simple rainbow. Beauty in drag, My life it will tow Without any lag.
Violet, for the regal and eerie. For kings, for magistrates. People like this, one may theory, Have only pride as their traits.
My simple rainbow, Never-ending, eternal. Everything I would ever know, Reprehensible, infernal.
From this rainbow, I bear a mask Surrounding it, a halo, As divine be my task.
Red, for blood. For passionate rage. For the impending flood Upon this page.
From an endless river’s flow, There I lay, Under my rainbow, And am told knowledge to relay.
Orange, for the dud Of excitement, of misery. For fun in the mud, Cut short in poor memory.
To you, my peers, I give wisdom holy: Face your fears, And final act wholly. Diane Caruso Young Adult Specialist Southwick Public Library
Yellow, for all the joy. A bright glimmer, Happiness that must toy And grow ever dimmer.

More than 150 soccer fans turned out at Park Square to watch the World Cup match between the American and Belgian teams yesterday. (Photo by Carl E. Hartdegen)
World Cup yesterday to watch the Yanks face the Belgians, with vendors serving refreshments and Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the U.S.A.” blasting at every available opportunity. American flags waved in the occasional breeze, a welcome arrival in the 83 degree sunset, and chants of “I believe that we will win!” rang out till voices were hoarse and defeat was imminent. The event, approved only days ago at a City Council meeting, was put on by a local marketing company with Westfield ties. “We’re using this to guage interest so that we can continue to grow, get more screens and get better projection. It’s sort of an incubator to see how it will grow,” said Frank Kelleher, a 23 year old Westfield native and owner of Clubhouse Marketing in Easthampton. “We’re just a bunch of young guys from Westfield who want to give back to the community. However we can help local business, because we’re a local business.” Kelleher put up $3,000 to put on the event, and teamed up with Westfield’s Business Improvement District (BID) to get the event off the ground.

Hartdegen) Alec Rodrigue of Agawam and Joe Selden of Longmeadow clasp hands in celebration after the Team USA scored to stay alive late in their World Cup match against Belgium. (Photo by Carl E. Hartdegen) “We only had two business days to put this together,” said Kelleher, who ran to City Hall and several local businesses following the United States game last Thursday to drum up support for the idea of hosting a viewing of their next game downtown. “The game finished around 4 p.m., and I literally ran from business to business, to City Hall, to the Parks and Rec (Department),” he said. “BID decided to pick it up, and we ran with it.” Kelleher, who played soccer as a kid and whose father was a longtime coach, didn’t see Team USA advancing to the round of 16, but was sure glad they did. “It’s perfect for the sport, because it’s going to continue to grow,” he said. “This is a testament to that.” “It’s incredible. We have seven businesses vending food, beer, wine, sangria, and treats of all kinds,” said BID Director Maureen Belliveau. “We had no idea how many people we’d get, but we’re over-the-moon excited. It’s the first time we’ve ever done anything like this. It was last minute, but we pushed the word out, everybody got excited and here we are.” Westfield City Advancement Officer Joe Mitchell, who captained his high school’s varsity soccer team, said the crowd drawn by Team USA was a “testament to the strength and sportsmanship of the team and the nation.” “What a great outing. It’s four o’clock on a Tuesday afternoon, with vendors and a crowd of 200 on a sunny day,” he said. “It’s all about community, and the BID did a very nice job putting this together on such short notice.” The raucous crowd, replete with flags, bandanas, and all manner of American splendor, were equal parts excited and surprised at the team’s success thus far. “Honestly, this is so huge.

Hartdegen) compared to the ‘Miracle on Ice.’ It could be the ‘Miracle on Turf.’” said Alec Rodrigue, 19, of Agawam, likening a win Tuesday to the U.S. Men’s Hockey Team’s triumph over the Soviet Union in the 1980 Winter Olympics. While comparing a World Cup victory over Belgium, a European nation the size of Maryland, to defeating the USSR may’ve been a little hyperbolic, many spectators were excited not only for the team’s chances but for what the event means for the downtown. “I think it’s awesome that everyone gets together. It’s nice that everyone is taking advantage of this green,” said Erica Pagnini, 21, of Westfield. “I could’ve been at my house watching this, but I came here to hang out with everyone.” Brennan Foley, 16, of Middlefield, who plays soccer at Gateway Regional, drove 45 minutes to watch Team USA, who surprised him by advancing out of pool play in Group G, dubbed the “Group of Death,” which included Germany, Portugal, and Ghana. “I think it’s great that everyone comes out and supports the
team. Even in a small little green, it’s still nice to see everyone come out,” said Foley, who commended the team’s effort. “I thought they played good defense, but they needed a lot more offense. (Goalkeeper) Tim Howard played great.” Even as the seconds ticked down on Team USA’s impending defeat, event patrons continued to cheer and wave Old Glory as the sun set. After the game, when asked to describe how the event came together, Westfield Community Development Director Peter Miller heaped praise aplenty on Kelleher. “Frank (Kelleher) came to us on Thursday afternoon and sat down with Diana (McLean, Westfield CDBG Coordinator) and thought it would be a good idea,” said Miller. “It worked out logistically to make sure we could pull it off, and we were fortunate there was a council meeting already set.” “It was a ‘fly by the seat of our pants’-type of thing, and it just goes to show that, with a little bit of effort, people in Westfield are interested in coming downtown and doing things,” he said.

Whip City Classic heads back to southside By Robby Veronesi WNG Intern WESTFIELD – The District Two Little League Tournament for 10 and 11-year-olds features just two teams, competing in a sevengame showdown for a chance to play in sectionals, and this year has a strong Whip City flavor. On one side, Westfield American—the South Siders from Cross Street. On the other side, Westfield National—the North Siders from Papermill. After sweeping both weekend games,
American locates back to its home field for a 6 p.m. game three of the series, high on momentum after a pair of offensive masterpieces and pitching showcases. American has outscored its cross-city rivals 34-1 in the first two games, led by a wide range of all-stars. Brennan Jarvis is 5-7 so far with five runs and five RBIs, including a perfect 4-4 in game two at Papermill. Joey Dekarski is 7-9 in the series three runs and three RBIs, while Connor Medeiros has added four RBIs and leadoff hitter Jake LaBombard has plated six times in two games.
The key for National to get back in the series is to prevent the big, early innings. In game one, American piled on 16 runs over the first three innings en route to a 22-0 four inning victory. A big nine-run frame in the second inning proved to be the difference in a 12-1 four inning game two victory. While the offense is producing up and down the lineup, American has received a boost from its pitching staff. David Tirrell has pitched 3 2/3 shutout innings without giving up a hit, while striking out five and letting his defense make plays behind him.
National still has time to turn the series around and they have some talent to provide a boost. JT Oleksak leads National with a pair of hits, while Tyler Cousineau, Chris Barber and Clay Bradley also have the potential to orchestrate a major inning. Defense will be a major factor for National, as half of American’s 34 runs have been unearned in the first two games. Tonight marks the third installment of the 2014 Whip City Classic for the 10-11 division on the South Side at Cross Street.

Westfield erupts to claim Game One By Robby Veronesi WNG Intern WESTFIELD – After their team’s 8-2 victory over Franklin County last night in the opening game of the best-of-three series to see who would advance to the 13-year-old state tournaments, the Westfield coaching staff all came to a consensus: the pitching was dominant. The duo of Spencer Cloutier and Jimmy Hagan allowed no hits after the first inning, but their offense showed their dominance as well. After falling behind 2-0 in the first half inning, Westfield chipped away and produced runs in each of its first five innings to turn the game around and eventually cruise to a decisive opening win. “You could see the confidence brewing there playing with kids their own age, but they came out of the gate a bit too nervous,” said head coach Mike Nihill. “It took a full first inning to finally get into our gear. The second half belonged to us.” Westfield posted single runs in the first
three innings before breaking the game open with two in the fourth and three in the fifth. Joe Raco led the way, going 2-2 from the plate with a pair of RBIs to pace the hosts, while Carter Cousins belted three hits, scoring all three times and driving in another run. In all, six different batters recorded an RBI for Westfield, demonstrating the depth of the offensive lineup. “They can all hit. Most of these kids batting down in the six or seven spot hit number three or four during the regular season,” said Nihill. “They’re really good-size kids. I’ve got three or four on my football team at Westfield too, so size works well here.” Franklin County could not get the bats Spencer Cloutier earned the victory for Westfield’s 13-year-old All-Stars. After giving up two going after plating a pair on a couple bloop runs on two hits in the first inning, Cloutier settled down to shut out Franklin County during hits from Hunter Campbell and Kiernan his final three innings, while allowing no hits.

MLB ROUNDUP
Cubs top Sox in the ninth BOSTON (AP) — Luis Valbuena broke a ninth-inning tie with a sacrifice fly that carried Chicago past Boston. Anthony Rizzo started the inning with a single off Koji Uehara (3-2) and went to third on a double by Starlin Castro. Valbuena then lined a shot to medium right field. Mookie Betts made the catch, but his throw was off line and Rizzo scored easily. The double was the 37th extra-base hit for Castro, who entered the game tied with Troy Tulowitzki of the Colorado Rockies for the major league lead among shortstops with 36. Pedro Strop (1-3) pitched a perfect eighth and Hector Rondon worked the ninth for his 11th save in 13 chances. TIGERS 3, As 0 DETROIT (AP) — Rick Porcello pitched a four-hitter for his second straight shutout, leading the Detroit Tigers to a 3-0 victory over the Oakland A’s on Tuesday night. Porcello (11-4) only had one career complete game before blanking the Rangers on June 26, but is now the first Tigers pitcher since Jack Morris to throw back-to-back shutouts. Morris threw three in a row in July 1986. GIANTS 5, CARDINALS 0 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Tim Lincecum followed his second career no-hitter with another vintage performance, pitching eight sharp innings to lead San Francisco to the shutout. Lincecum (7-5) allowed four hits, struck out six and walked two. He worked out of a basesloaded jam with no outs in the fourth and stayed out of trouble the rest of the way, helping San Francisco snap a four-game losing streak since his latest gem against San Diego. RAYS 2, YANKEES 1 NEW YORK (AP) — David Price came within one pitch of extending his remarkable strikeout streak in leading resurgent Tampa Bay past New York. James Loney hit a go-ahead home run in the sixth inning and the Rays matched their longest win string of the season. Derek Jeter tied Lou Gehrig’s team record for doubles as the Yankees equaled their worst skid this year with their fourth loss in a row. NATIONALS 7, ROCKIES 1 WASHINGTON (AP) — Stephen Strasburg bounced back from his worst outing of the season with 7 2-3 dominant innings, and Jayson Werth had two doubles and three RBIs in Washington’s fourth straight win. Anthony Rendon added a two-run double for the Nationals. Strasburg (7-6) tied his career high by allowing seven earned runs in 4 2-3 innings in his last start, and was 0-2 with a 7.27 ERA over his last three. PADRES 8, REDS 2 SAN DIEGO (AP) — Seth Smith hit a home run and scored three runs and Carlos Quentin homered and drove in three runs to lead San Diego.
Smith had three hits as the Padres finished with a season-high 16 one night after managing just one hit in a 1-0 win over the Reds. ANGELS 8, WHITE SOX 4, 1ST GAME; ANGELS 7, WHITE SOX 5, 2ND GAME CHICAGO (AP) — Kole Calhoun homered and scored twice in the nightcap to help Los Angeles complete a doubleheader sweep of Chicago. Howie Kendrick added two hits and scored two runs as the Angels won their second straight and moved to within 3 1/2 games of first-place Oakland in the AL West. The Angels beat the White Sox 8-4 in the opener of a twin-bill quickly arranged after Monday’s game was rained out and are 5-0 against Chicago this season. MARLINS 5, PHILLIES 4, 11 INNINGS MIAMI (AP) — Ed Lucas’ single scored the winning run from second base with one out in the 11th inning, snapping Miami’s four-game losing streak and sending Philadelphia to its fifth straight loss. The Marlins won their ninth consecutive game when Henderson Alvarez starts, matching the longest such streak with a pitcher in franchise history. Alvarez allowed two runs in seven innings. ORIOLES 8, RANGERS 3 BALTIMORE (AP) — Nelson Cruz hit his 26th home run, and Steve Pearce and Caleb Joseph also went deep against rookie Nick Martinez to help Baltimore breeze past skidding Texas. INDIANS 10, DODGERS 3 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Cleveland turned an unorthodox triple play that required two replay reviews, and David Murphy broke out of a 1-for-44 slump with three hits against Los Angeles. MARINERS 13, ASTROS 2 HOUSTON (AP) — Robinson Cano and Kyle Seager had three RBIs apiece, James Jones added two and a seven-run sixth inning helped Seattle score a season high in runs. PIRATES 3, DIAMONDBACKS 2 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Starling Marte hit a two-run double to tie the game with one out in the ninth inning and then scored on pinch-hitter Ike Davis’ single two batters later to propel Pittsburgh. TWINS 10, ROYALS 2 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Joe Mauer drove in two runs before leaving with an injury, Eduardo Nunez homered and Minnesota beat Kansas City. BRAVES 5, METS 4 ATLANTA (AP) — Andrelton Simmons’ two-run single sparked a three-run fourth that sent streaking Atlanta past Daisuke Matsuzaka and New York. BLUE JAYS 4, BREWERS 1 TORONTO (AP) — Jose Bautista and Colby Rasmus hit solo home runs, and Drew Hutchison struck out a career-high 10 to snap a two-start losing streak for Toronto.
Jimmy Hagan was one of 10 Westfield hitters to reach base via a hit. Hagan also shut down the Franklin County bats with three innings of shutout relief to end the game. (Photo by Robby Veronesi)

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Do you have any suggestions? Dear Annie: I am a 76-year-old man. After 46 years of a happy marriage, my precious wife passed away four years ago. I live in the country and have become acquainted with several single women around my age who are widows or divorcees and live within a 20-mile radius. I have taken a few of them out to dinner or to a play. They go with me once or twice and won’t go again. They tell me they are too busy with their grandchildren. One said, “We are too different.” Another said she is not in the dating mood. All have told me that I am a real nice guy, and it’s not because of anything I did or said. I’ve never made inappropriate advances toward these women. I’ve only asked for a little hug because I miss holding my wife. But it seems they do not want to be touched, and two of them told me that I am expecting too much. I have never indicated that I wanted more than a hug, although I have to admit, in my own mind, I have hoped that after going out a few times, we could go a little farther than that. I’m not looking for a serious relationship. I am just extremely lonesome and would like to have a companion to go places with and be together occasionally. I’ve never really understood women, so I’m at a loss here. I don’t own a computer, so I cannot try meeting women online. Do you have any suggestions? Please tell me what I’m doing wrong. -- Lonesome Okie Dear Lonesome: We don’t know what you are doing wrong. If you are giving these women the impression that you want physical affection, but not a serious relationship, they may not be interested. Asking for hugs on a first date may be too forward, or it may frighten them. We know you are lonely, but please slow down. You might be coming across as too needy, which is not attractive. Get to know these women as friends first, and see where it leads. And if you are interested in online dating, your local library can provide a computer. Dear Annie: My brother’s daughter is getting married this summer. She’s having a huge wedding. All of the nieces, nephews and cousins are invited except our three daughters. My brother said they have to cut somewhere. Should I just shrug this off? I told my mother that I’m so upset, I’m thinking of never seeing or speaking to my brother again. Is this a feeling I should be having? Should I ask my brother what we did to them that they would exclude us in this way? -- Not a Happy Sister Dear Sister: Generally, it is wise to “cut” along the same family lines, so that, for example, you invite all first cousins or none of them. However, sometimes the bride or groom has a close relationship with some cousins and not others. In such cases, if the guest list is limited, it makes sense to invite those with whom you are closest. Is it possible that your children are especially distant from the bride? Have they had a falling out of which you are unaware? Unless there is a reason, we find this exclusion unnecessarily hurtful. We hope you can work through it. Dear Annie: “Disgusted in N.Y.” said her 85-year-old aunt never had a bath in the six weeks she spent in the hospital. There is evidence not to bathe hospital patients using plastic tubs due to increased infection rates when tubs are not disinfected sufficiently between uses. As a result, many hospitals have adopted the use of prepackaged disposable bath wipes. Often these are warmed and feel good to the patient, and it cleans them. Perhaps the hospital needs to investigate using these wipes. -- Pennsylvania Nurse Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.
HINTS FROM HELOISE CARRY IN CAR Dear Heloise: I always carry an old sheet in my car in case I see an animal that has been hit by a car and needs to be moved. I’ve had to use it once. I gave it to a dog’s owner and let him transfer the dog to the sheet. I also carry an old tennis racket. It comes in handy to put between you and a dog as a shield (not a club) in case it looks like it might bite. I’ve never had to use it, but I think real estate agents and delivery people might want to carry one. -Sherry G., Cecil, Ala. What great hints! The old sheet also can be used to protect your seats if you see a stray and want to pick it up. -- Heloise CONVERTED SHEETS Dear Heloise: We received an abundance of sheets for wedding gifts. So, I made bedroom curtains from a top sheet. They converted nicely at our next apartment by adding trim at the bottom and making a valance to match. They lasted more than 10 years and four moves. -- A Reader, via email (c)2014 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

YOUR HOROSCOPE Contract Bridge By Jaqueline Bigar
DOG EAT DOUG
Brian Anderson
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, July 2, 2014: This year you have the ability to make some dramatic changes without having to deal with much upheaval. You will perfect the art of conversation. Downtime and time alone will continue to be important to you. If you are single, you might think that the person you meet is great, but you later could discover that he or she is emotionally unavailable. Use care before committing. If you are attached, you might want to run away with your sweetie, never to be found again. You probably will opt for more weekends away together as a couple. VIRGO speaks his or her mind and can be critical. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH The best of intentions could be misunderstood. Clarify your objectives before you hit a problem, and you will build your confidence as a result. You are a dynamic fire sign, and you often seem impulsive to those who are more reserved. Tonight: Have an overdue chat. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You roll into your day with not an obstacle in sight. As a result of your upbeat attitude, everything will seem to fall into place. You might see a misunderstanding brewing that involves your funds. Step back to get clarification. Tonight: Act as if you don’t have a care in the world. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Give up being a whirling dervish, and slow down. You must handle a matter involving your funds. A friend might ask you for help, and a loved one predictably will seek you out. You’ll be in the position of making a judgment call. Get the facts first. Tonight: Say “yes” to living. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You will say the right words at the right time. However, you might be oversensitive, and you could take someone’s statement the wrong way as a result. Let it go. Consider how a particular person is transforming in front of your eyes. Tonight: Be a flirt. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Check out a situation with care. Do your homework, and come up with as many solutions as possible. Though you can be a delightful, carefree personality, you’ll need to be serious for others. They’ll want to know where you are coming from. Tonight: Pay bills first. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Your smile will attract more people than usual. Your sense of what must happen will appeal to those around you. Your consistency and endurance gains you a great deal of trust from others. Make sure you mind your p’s and q’s. Tonight: Clear out what you must. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Express what you feel is a high priority. Listen to others, and internalize their message. Make time for an important conversation that involves a vulnerable situation. Others will want to make adjustments for you, as you do for them. Tonight: Not to be found. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Your sixth sense will kick in during a discussion, and it could indicate that not everything is on the up and up. One person might ask for your help in order to get the type of results he or she wants. Make it your pleasure. Tonight: Off where the crowds are. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You will want to move forward with a project, while others might seem to have various regrets and questions. You will need to listen to what they have to say, and work through it together. Ultimately, what happens will affect all of you. Tonight: Say “yes” to a loved one. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Reach out to someone you care a lot about. Instead of minimizing a problem, try to solve it. You might not feel as if it is your job, but the issue is likely to create bigger problems for you if it is left unresolved. Tonight: Read between the lines. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Others will display their desire to handle a problem. You subconsciously might create some kind of block that prevents you from participating in this matter. You know when enough is enough; try to disengage and avoid being an obstacle. Tonight: All smiles. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Others will come forward and listen to your ideas, but your deter-

mination to complete what you are doing your way is likely to emerge. Be careful. Think about the complications of not having the help and support you need. Tonight: Be as easygoing as possible. BORN TODAY Actor Larry David (1947), baseball player Jose Canseco (1964), poet Hermann Hesse (1877)

It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newspapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore.
