Purple Heart project seeking donations

MARY O’CONNELL Ward 4 councilor

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD–A veteran and a city councilor have come together to honor those who were wounded or killed in military combat and they need your help.

Ward 4 councilor Mary O’Connell and US Marine veteran Don Wielgus have teamed up to create a Purple Heart Trail through Westfield, and are currently seeking donations for the project. The trail is intended to go down both Pleasant Street and Broad Street, running approx-

PURPLE HEART imately 10 miles to Southwick.

Informational hearing set to provide answers about upcoming DPW projects

By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent SOUTHWICK – An informational hearing is set to be held at the auditorium of the Southwick Town Hall on Nov. 29 at 6:30. The hearing will be about the Congamond Rd. and sewer projects.

DPW Director Randy Brown said that the hearing will be designed to layout both projects and is open to the community to give their input.

Several representatives of the Town of Southwick will be present including the DPW, the Select Board, the Sewer Implementation Committee, as well as town counsel. The USDA Rural Development will also be in attendance as they will be available for anyone’s services. They can talk about the opportunities income-eligible residents may have to help offset any betterment payments.

“We’ll have a whole gamut of people to answer any questions that come up,” said Brown.

The hearing provides the information about the project and a town vote will be held at the special town meeting on Dec. 6 regarding appropriated funds for the sewer portion of the project.

The betterment is certainly something that Brown sees as important to this process.

“People want to know what the betterment is going to be,” said Brown.

Brown will be prepared to give the community as much understanding as possible.

“We’ll have some drawings showing the proposed road layouts,” said Brown.

The sewer aspect will also be spelled out during the hearing.

Mass DOT (Massachusetts Department of Transportation) is heading the road project that includes a total road reconstruction.

The project will run from College Highway south to the state line.

The improvements that will be made to the project include widening the lanes with bicycle lanes, new sidewalks and pedestrian crossings, and a storm water management system. All of the regrading and general safety improvements will comply with the state and federal requirements.

is honour our veterans who aren’t being recognized,” Wielgus said.

“This is a meaningful way for Westfield to show support of all Purple Heart recipients,” O’Connell said.

The trail will feature a Purple Heart Trail sign every mile along the path.

The idea was initially pitched to O’Connell from the Holyoke City Council, who has their own trail along Route 202.

O’Connell said it was a great idea and contacted Wielgus, who then contacted

the Military Order of the Purple Heart.

O’Connell and Wielgus drafted the proposition and submitted it to the Military Order of the Purple Heart, but the project wasn’t OKed by them until they received a proclamation from Mayor Brian Sullivan.

From there, the project went before Westfield city council, as well as John Camerota, chief of Westfield Police, and David Billips, superintendent of the See Purple Heart, Page 7

Ward 6 Update from Councilor Onyski This has certainly been a beautiful, and busy, autumn.

We have had great weather and I sure hope that it stays this way before winter hits.

On November 14, I attended a presentation by Chris Herren regarding his drug and alcohol addiction at the Westfield Technical Academy.

This was part of a series of events to help bring attention to the opioid crisis that is happening in Westfield and all across the country. It was one of the most entrancing lectures that I have ever been to.

Chris’s candor, honesty, and story had many audience members in tears.

The evening revolved around Chris’s rise to fame from a local Fall River basketball player to a star with the Boston Celtics, all while battling the demons of addiction.

Chris’s fall from fame came just as quickly but he has now been sober for eight years.

Although the crisis has been out of the headlines recently, it still exists. Our EMTs and Firefighters are regularly saving the lives of overdose victims who otherwise wouldn’t be afforded another chance.

Thanks to Chris Herren, the City of Westfield, and the organizers of the event for keeping this issue in the forefront.

The Veteran’s Day Parade on November 11 was a tribute to our Westfield Veterans who graciously and selflessly served, and still serve, our country. I can’t give enough thanks to the one percent of the population who sacrificed their time, their family, and often their lives to support the freedom of the other ninetynine percent of the nation. The city, and I, are proud of the Veterans and thank you for your service!

On November 2, a Public Meeting was held to discuss the installation of lights at the Paper Mill baseball and Sadie Knox softball fields. I’m thankful to the Parks and Recreation Commission and City Council President Bean for sorting through the details and scheduling a meeting on short notice. Westfield Little League did a nice job present-

ing the plans and addressed the concerns of neighbors around light overflow into back yards and noise. It’s good to work together to take care of the small issues before they become a problem. The Westfield Little League committed to making any necessary adjustments to the fixtures to keep the light on the fields and out of neighbor’s yards.

An application for a special permit for a Bed and Breakfast on Susan Drive was denied at theNovember 18 City Council meeting. The neighbors had valid concerns regarding the additional traffic that would be generated through a completely residential area.

Although the additional traffic count may not be substantially increased, the additional traffic would all be generated by those unfamiliar with the neighborhood. For those who have travelled in the Susan/ Eastview/Irene Drive area, I’m sure you can attest to the blind ninety degree corner and steepness of the roads leading into the neighborhood. The city will also review the Bed and Breakfast concept as its definition has a broad range that needs to be clarified.

The Legislative and Ordinance Committee worked with our Legal Department to modify the smoking policy on city property. Currently, there

is no smoking in city buildings or parks. This may be extended to cover all city property including all grounds and parking lots. Generally, the ordinance will exclude street sidewalks or roadways. It’s unfortunate that this ordinance change is needed. One would hope that individuals would show common courtesy when it comes to smoking but that doesn’t always happen, hence, the proposed ordinance change. This will be discussed further in a Legislative and Ordinance Committee meeting so check the meeting schedule and agendas on the city website.

I will be holding Ward 6 office hours on November 29, 2016 from 5:00PM to 7:00PM at the Hampton Ponds Association Building on North Road. Please stop in at any time between 5:00PM and 7:00PM to ask questions or discuss issues that might be on your mind.

Letter to the Editor To the Editor I am writing to ask a favor of your readers that could help save millions of lives.

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month. Despite being the #1 cancer killer of men and women in the United States, awareness about lung cancer remains critically low, meaning people don’t bring it up with their doctors, understand screening procedures or recognize potential symptoms. That lack of awareness has a profound effect on the tens of thousands of Massachusetts residents and nearly a quarter of a million Americans who will be diagnosed with lung cancer this year, many of whom are non-smokers with no history of lung disease.

The American Lung Association’s LUNG FORCE movement has launched a campaign urging you to #ShareYourVoice about how lung cancer has impacted lives – either through personal diagnoses or that of loved ones. This collection of personal stories will illustrate the impact that lung cancer has on our country, giving us the power to ignite change on a national scale and for individual families.

Your stories will help us turn the tide on lung cancer. In fact, when lung cancer is caught before it spreads, the likelihood of survival more than triples. By talking more about lung cancer, you can help make Americans aware of the facts, empowering them to speak to their doctors, get screened, and change this devastating reality. If you or someone you love has suffered from lung cancer, please consider joining us at lungforce.org and sharing your story. Your voice will help save lives.

Sincerely, Jeff Seyler President and CEO, American Lung Association of the Northeast Resident of the State of Massachusetts

House chairman: Trump favors privatizing air traffic control

By JOAN LOWY Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — A House committee chairman says President-elect Donald Trump likes the idea of spinning off air traffic control operations from the government and placing them under the control of a private, non-profit corporation chartered by Congress.

Rep. Bill Shuster, head of the House transportation committee, told The Association Press that he spoke to Trump about the idea several times both before and during the presidential election.

He said he believes the president-elect would be supportive, although details would have to be worked out.

“I have spoken to him on a number of occasions and he generally likes the idea,” Shuster said. “We do need to sit down and put meat on the bones ... I think in general he sees it as something that’s positive and we need to work on it.”

The Republican lawmaker endorsed Trump early on and campaigned twice with him in his Pennsylvania congressional district. He also campaigned twice with Vice Presidentelect Mike Pence.

Since the election, Shuster has met with Shirley Ybarra, a former Virginia transportation secretary who is working with the Trump transition team on transportation matters.

Ybarra and the Trump transition team didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

Shuster and most of the airline industry have been pressing for air traffic control privatization. They say the Federal Aviation Administration is moving too slowly to adopt new technology and that airlines haven’t seen the benefits they expected from the agency’s air traffic control modernization program, which has been in the works for more than a decade.

Earlier this year, Shuster included a plan to privatize air traffic control in a bill to extend the FAA’s operating authority. The bill was approved by the transportation committee, but Shuster was unable to get it to the House floor after several influential lawmakers, including the Ways and Means Committee chairman and the House and Senate Appropriations Committee chairmen, raised objections. Democrats and some FAA unions also oppose the plan, although the National Air Traffic Controllers Association endorsed the bill.

Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee chairman and Shuster’s Senate counterpart, hasn’t taken a position on the issue. He said Friday that the FAA hasn’t been successful in bringing fundamental change to how air traffic is managed despite spending billions of dollars.

“Congress has different options, and we will continue to explore them, but the case for changing the FAA’s approach to air traffic control modernization has become stronger,” Thune told the AP. Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., the senior Democrat on the House transportation committee, cautioned earlier this week that any proposal to overhaul the existing air traffic system “must be thoroughly vetted, not rushed through Congress just because the political landscape makes it easier.”

Shifting US policy to right, Trump taps Sessions, Flynn

By JULIE PACE and JONATHAN LEMIRE Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump signaled a sharp rightward shift in U.S. national security policy Friday with his announcement that he will nominate Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions as attorney general and Kansas Rep. Mike Pompeo to head the CIA, turning to a pair of staunch conservatives as he begins to fill out his Cabinet.

Trump also named retired Lt. Gen Michael Flynn as his national security adviser. A former military intelligence chief, Flynn has accused the Obama administration of being too soft on terrorism and has cast Islam as a "political ideology" and driver of extremism.

Sessions and Flynn were ardent Trump supporters during the campaign, and their promotions were seen in part as a reward for their loyalty.

The selections form the first outlines of Trump's Cabinet and national security teams. Given his lack of governing experience and vague policy proposals during the campaign, his selection of advisers is being scrutinized both in the U.S. and abroad.

Trump's initial decisions suggest a more aggressive military involvement in counterterror strategy and a greater emphasis on Islam's role in stoking extremism. Sessions, who is best known for his hard-line immigration views, has questioned whether terror suspects should benefit from the rights available in U.S. courts. Pompeo has said Muslim leaders are "potentially complicit" in attacks if they do not denounce violence carried out in the name of Islam.

Pompeo's nomination to lead the CIA also opens the pros-

pect of the U.S. resuming torture of detainees. Trump has backed harsh interrogation techniques that President Barack Obama and Congress have banned, saying the U.S. "should go tougher than waterboarding," which simulates drowning. In 2014, Pompeo criticized Obama for "ending our interrogation program" and said intelligence officials "are not torturers, they are patriots."

Transition officials said the president-elect's senior team would be carrying out Trump's policies, not their own ideas.

"Anyone's personal view isn't what matters," said Sean Spicer, a transition communications aide.

Trump did not appear, instead releasing a statement announcing his decisions. He has made no public appearances this week, holing up in his New York skyscraper for meetings. He is spending the weekend at his New Jersey golf club.

Sessions and Pompeo would both require Senate confirmation before assuming their designated roles; Flynn would not.

Most of Trump's nominees are expected to be confirmed relatively easily given the GOP majority in the Senate.

However, potential roadblocks exist, particularly for Sessions, the first senator to endorse Trump and one of the chamber's most conservative members.

His last Senate confirmation hearing, in 1986 for a federal judgeship, was derailed over allegations that he made racist comments, including calling a black assistant U.S. attorney "boy" in conversation. Sessions denied the accusation, but withdrew from consideration.

Some Democrats slammed Sessions' nomination Friday, including Rep. Luis Gutiérrez of Illinois, who said the senator See US Policy, Page 5

Job Growth Reports: Blue states outpaced red states in past year

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — States that voted for Hillary Clinton in last week's presidential election reported stronger job growth in the previous year than states that supported Donald Trump, according to data released by the Labor Department Friday.

Large cities in states where voters were more likely to support Trump also lagged in job growth, a separate analysis by Jed Kolko, chief economist at Indeed, a job search website, also found. The figures add credence to the idea that economic concerns contributed to Trump's unexpected victory.

Eleven U.S. states reported healthy job gains in October, and the unemployment rate fell in seven, the Labor Department said Friday . Thirty-four states reported little change in employment from the previous month.

The healthiest gains in the past year were in so-called "blue" states: Job growth was 3.5 percent in Washington state, the biggest gain nationwide. Oregon reported the next largest gain, at 3.3 percent. Other healthy increases were in Colorado, California and Nevada.

There were exceptions to the trend: Florida, which supported Trump, saw hiring rise 3.1 percent in the 12 months ending in October, the third-highest total.

But the smallest increases were in so-called "red" states that voted for the Republican candidate. Job growth was just 0.7 percent in Pennsylvania, 0.9 percent in Ohio and 1 percent in Wisconsin — three Midwestern states that handed 48 electoral votes to Trump.

And two states lost jobs in the past year: Wyoming and North Dakota, which have been hit by falling oil and coal prices. They both voted for Trump.

Overall, the differences weren't huge: Job growth in blue states was 1.7 percent in the 12 months ending in October,

compared with 1.5 percent in red states, according to Kolko's calculations.

But there are similarities in the city data. Six of the ten metro areas with the slowest job growth were in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wisconsin. Allentown and Scranton, both in Pennsylvania, lost the most jobs of any city nationwide.

Nationwide, the economy picked up in the fall even amid the contentious presidential election. Americans ramped up their shopping and applications for unemployment aid fell to a fourdecade low, a sign layoffs are scarce.

That's prompted steady hiring, though it has fallen from last year's pace. Employers added 161,000 jobs nationwide in October, enough to reduce the unemployment rate over time.

The rate slipped to 4.9 percent from 5 percent in September.

6:06 p.m.: Assault, Elm Street. Police received a report of a male that was stabbed in the hand at a business on Elm Street.

Police responded to the scene and proceeded to search on foot for the suspect. Eventually, police reported that the suspect had turned himself into police custody. Police reported that the stabbing occurred after a dispute on Facebook turned into an altercation. The victim was transported to Baystate Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.

Sunday, Nov. 13, 2016 9:28 a.m.: Accident, Elm Street and Franklin Street. Police received a report of a two-car accident at the intersection of Elm Street and Franklin Street involving a 1999 Honda Accord and a 2015 Ford Transit. Police reported no injuries or tow trucks needed.

According to police, the tractor trailer pulled out into the street, causing the Fusion driver to hit her brakes suddenly and the Altima collided with the backend of the Fusion. No injuries reported or tows needed.

US Policy was the right pick "if you have nostalgia for the days when blacks kept quiet, gays were in the closet, immigrants were invisible and women stayed in the kitchen."

Still, Republicans were supportive.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell called his Senate colleague "principled, forthright, and hardworking" and said he looked forward to the chamber's "fair and expeditious" handing of the nomination.

Sessions would bring to the Justice Department a consistently conservative voice. He has objected to the planned closure of the Guantanamo Bay detention facility and has given prominence to the specter of voting fraud, a problem that current Justice Department leaders believe is negligible.

Pompeo, who graduated first in his class at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, is a conservative Republican and a strong critic of Obama's nuclear deal with Iran. He has said former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden should enjoy due process and then be sentenced to death for taking and releasing secret documents about surveillance programs in which the

Sen. Warren urges Trump to dump Sessions as attorney general BOSTON (AP) — U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren is urging President-elect Donald Trump to reverse his decision to tap Sen. Jeff Sessions to serve as attorney general.

Warren said by choosing the Alabama Republican, Trump is embracing the bigotry that fueled his campaign rallies instead of distancing himself from it.

The Massachusetts Democrat said Friday that if Trump sticks with Sessions, it will be up to the Senate to "exercise fundamental moral leadership" for the country.

She said 30 years ago a different Republican-led Senate rejected Sessions' nomination to a federal judgeship.

Sessions was criticized for joking that the Ku Klux Klan was "OK" until he learned they smoked marijuana.

Massachusetts Democratic Attorney General Maura Healey also said she hopes Sessions is rejected, calling his past comments "cause for serious alarm."

Court Logs Westfield District Court Nov. 15, 2016 Richard S. Klaus, 64, of 872 North Stone, West Suffield, was released on $100 cash bail pending a Jan. 25 hearing after being arraigned on charges of operating under the influence of liquor, negligent operation of a motor vehicle and leaving the scene of property damage, brought by Southwick Police.

Anthony Romero, the director of the American Civil Liberties Union, said Pompeo's views raise concerns about "privacy and due process."

Of Trump's new personnel picks, Flynn will have the most direct access to the president. The national security adviser works from the West Wing and is often one of the last people to meet with the president before major foreign policy decisions are made.

Flynn built a reputation in the military intelligence community as an astute professional and unconventional thinker. He asserted that he was forced out of the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2014 because he disagreed with Obama's approach to combating extremism, though his critics claimed he mismanaged the agency.

In advising Trump's campaign, Flynn has emphasized that he believes the Islamic State poses an existential threat on a global scale. He shares Trump's belief that Washington should work more closely with Moscow, and his warmth toward Russia worries some national

security experts.

Flynn traveled last year to Moscow, where he joined Russian President Vladimir Putin and other Russian officials in a celebration of the RT network, a Russian government-controlled television channel. Flynn said he was paid for taking part in the event, but brushed aside concerns that he was aiding a Russian propaganda effort.

The president-elect is still weighing a range of candidates for other leading national security posts. Possibilities for secretary of state are said to include former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton, Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who met with Trump Thursday.

On Saturday, Trump is to meet with retired Gen. James Mattis, a contender to lead the Pentagon. He was also meeting with 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, who lambasted Trump as a "con man" and a "fraud" in a stinging speech in March. Trump responded by repeatedly referring to Romney as a "loser."

Sharps Disposal and Containers available at Fire Dept.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Massachusetts church attended by W.E.B. Du Bois to be saved

G&E Scam Alert

GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts church where civil rights activist W.E.B. Du Bois once attended services will be bought and preserved.

A member of Clinton Church Restoration tells The Berkshire Eagle that it has agreed to buy the Clinton African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church in Great Barrington from the Northeast Regional Conference of the AME Zion Church. The deal is expected to close in March.

Clinton Church Restoration is a volunteer organization formed just three weeks ago. It is still seeking nonprofit status.

The deteriorating church dates to 1857 but has been closed for several years since the congregation dwindled.

Some residents were concerned it would be sold and torn down, erasing an important piece of local history.

Du Bois was the founder of the NAACP. He grew up in Great Barrington.

WESTFIELD – The Westfield Gas & Electric announced Friday a scam warning.

The WG+E notes that some of their customers have been receiving calls about an unpaid balance and that service would be turned off if the balance is not resolved immediately over the phone.

A spokesperson said in a statement, “Any WG+E customers who are scheduled for disconnection due to nonpayment will receive WRITTEN notice on WG+E letterhead that includes what actions they must take to maintain service. WG+E will NOT send an employee to the residence to seek payment nor do we initiate phone calls requesting payment. Please be cautious any time you receive an unsolicted phone call about any account. We recommend that you do not divulge any account or personal information. Please call us at 413-572-0100 if you ever receive a concerning call or would like to verify your account status.”

Additionally, O’Connell and Wielgus hope that this project will reach Purple Heart recipients in the area.

There are over 1 million Purple Heart recipients in the US as of June 2010, but there is no database of them and no way to find the recipients in

Westfield, Southwick or other surrounding areas.

If anyone would like to donate, wants to be recognized as a Purple Heart recipient, or want to do either action in honor of a friend or family member, they can contact O’Connell at (413)2184344 or moconnell25@comcast.net, or Wielgus at (413)568-7767 or herbie_ myrna@comcast.net.

Donation can be made out to the American Legion 454,

According to Brown, the design for the road project is 75% done and construction isn’t expected to begin until the summer or fall of 2017.

The sewer part of the project consists of expanding and upgrading the sewer system in the Gillette Corner neighborhood which is the College Highway and Congamond Rd. intersection. More piping is also expected to be installed throughout Congamond Rd. Having the sewer lines extended to go along Congamond Rd. is very important to those who make the most use of the road.

“That’s a lot of people that work there (on Congamond Rd.),” said Select Board Chairman Russ Fox. Brown wants to continue to inform the community of Southwick about the upcoming informational hearing on Nov.29. Brown also welcomes anyone to check out the DPW page on the town website which will have more information on both projects.

BOSTON (AP) — One of three new justices on the state's highest court has been ceremonially sworn-in to the post.

Friends, family and colleagues of David Lowy packed the Massachusetts House of Representatives chamber for the Friday ceremony.

Lowy had already been serving on the Supreme Judicial Court for several months after his nomination by Republican Gov. Charlie Baker was confirmed by the Governor's Council.

Justices Kimberly Budd and Frank Gaziano were also tapped to fill vacancies on the high court caused by the retirements of Justices Robert Cordy, Fernande Duffly and Francis Spina.

A ceremonial swearing-in for Budd is scheduled on Monday.

City of Westfield Water Consumers Mandatory Water Use Restrictions ATTENTION CITY OF WESTFIELD WATER CONSUMERS

Mandatory Water Use Restrictions Pursuant to its authority under State and local laws, rules, and regulations, the City of Westfield Board of Water Commissioners has declared a State of Water Supply Conservation. A water supply shortage was created with the removal of Municipal Wells Number 2, 7 and 8 due to contamination with PFOA and PFOS and the ongoing drought impacting the Northeastern states.

The Board of Water Commissioners has determined that mandatory conservation measures are necessary to ensure that an adequate supply of water exists for all water consumers.

Water use restrictions. These restrictions apply to customers of the City of Westfield Department of Public Works Water Division and are necessary to maintain water pressure to ensure public safety and to ensure an adequate system capacity for essential uses by all customers. These restrictions are subject to change as conditions require.

This Non- Essential Water Use Restriction begins September 15, 2016 and shall be effective until further notice.

Restriction: All non-essential outdoor water use is prohibited.

Examples of “non-essential” water use include: - Irrigation of lawns via sprinklers or automatic irrigation systems;- Washing of vehicles,

except in a commercial car wash or as necessary for operator safety; and - Washing of exterior building surfaces, parking lots, driveways or sidewalks, except as necessary to apply surface treatments such as paint, preservatives, stucco, pavement or cement.Irrigation of lawns, gardens, flowers and ornamental plants by means of a hand-held hose, soaker hose or drip irrigation system.

Examples of water uses NOT subject to restrictions: - For health and safety reasons;- By regulation; - For the production of food and fiber; - For the maintenance of livestock; or - To meet the core functions of a business (for example, irrigation by golf courses as necessary to maintain tees, greens, and limited fairway watering, or irrigation by plant nurseries as necessary to maintain stock).

Enforcement:It is unlawful for any person to violate the terms, conditions, restrictions or requirements of a declaration of a state of water supply emergency or state of water supply conservation. The penalty for violation of these mandatory restrictions is $25.00 for the first citation and $50.00 for the second and each additional citation. Each day on which a violation occurs constitutes a separate violation.

This mandatory water restriction program is designed to sustain the water supply for all. Your anticipated cooperation is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions please contact the Water Division at 413-572-6269.

Recipe for success

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD – What recipe calls for five pounds of sausage, six pounds of ground beef, six gallons of spaghetti sauce and 420 meatballs? For the Westfield Bombers, at least, hopefully a recipe for success.

On Saturday, the West Division 2 champion Westfield Bombers (9-1) will battle the Central Massachusetts champ Shrewsbury Colonials (6-3) in a state semifinal game at Westfield State Unviersity at 2 p.m.

On Friday, they were given a rousing sendoff as the Westfield Fire and Police Departments joined forces to host a spaghetti dinner for the team.

The event was held at the Broad Street fire station, where

CAPTAIN CHRIS WARD

tables filled with spaghetti, meatballs, sauce, garlic bread and soda awaited the Bombers.

“It feels great that our city is behind us and supporting us,” said Bombers co-captain lineman Chris Ward. “It makes us want to work harder for them.”

Firefighters spent all day preparing the food at the Broad Street station. Originally, the department was just going to donate money to the Westfield High Athletic Booster Club to feed the players and coaches, but then they had a better idea – cook up a winning meal.

“We’re just here to do our part,” Westfield Fire Capt. Chris King said. “We have been working on it all day. Everyone pitched in.”

The Westfield Police Department also contributed, donat-

ing money to the cause in order to help pay for supplies. But they are not the only ones helping fuel the team’s success.

“Other local businesses have stepped up and done pasta parties, including The Tavern last week,” said Kellie Adam, booster club member.

The dinners are part of a weekly tradition for the team, Adam said. Parents have also selflessly cooked to feed the team in weeks’ past. In addition, Shortstop Bar and Grill will be hosting the team for their end-of-year banquet, celebrating their sensational season.

Ticket prices for Saturday’s contest are $10 and can be purchased at Westfield State University.

If Westfield pulls off the victory, the Bombers will advance to the state championship at Gillette Stadium Dec. 3.

I would like to thank the 12 players representing East Mountain for their participation. This has become a fun competitive event that each course looks forward to at the end of October each year. The players enjoy the competition but most importantly enjoy the camaraderie with the other players representing the other clubs.

Hyper • Local

When it comes to 21st century multimedia platforms, “hyper local” is a term you hear a lot.

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

But, day in and day out, The Westfield News provides consistant coverage of the stories you need to know about, that are important to your city, town, neighborhood and home.

Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski to miss game against 49ers FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski will miss Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers with a chest injury, according to the injury report filed by the team on Friday.

Gronkowski was staggered in the second quarter of Sunday night's game against the Seattle Seahawks after taking a hard hit to his chest from safety Earl Thomas. He returned to the game but did not practice all week.

Receiver Chris Hogan is also out for the game with a back injury, the team said.

At last in 17th season, Brady faces 49ers on road

By JANIE McCAULEY AP Sports Writer SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Not even in grade school, Tom Brady cried from his seat at The Stick when Dwight Clark made "The Catch."

The New England quarterback had so counted on playing at Candlestick Park in 2008, his first NFL game back home in the Bay Area against the 49ers team he watched Joe Montana lead when Brady was a boy.

Then, a season-ending knee injury spoiled his plans. He can't quite believe it took until age 39 and his 17th NFL season to finally get a shot on San Francisco's home field.

"I had everything arranged and set up before the season for my family and friends, and then I got hurt," Brady said. "So it is (shocking), it is. It will be a lot of fun. I've got a lot of people coming to the game and it will just be a great environment."

This could perhaps be the only time Brady gets the opportunity, and he should feel pretty confident about his chances of winning with the AFC East-leading Patriots (7-2). The New England quarterback might have to change teams to visit Levi's Stadium again after Sunday's matchup with the Niners (1-8), losers of eight straight since a season-opening win against the Rams.

He was there when Clark leaped high and pulled down the Montana touchdown pass that helped send San Francisco to its first Super Bowl after the 1981 season.

"I was, I think 4 years old and my parents brought me. I cried - I wanted one of those foam fingers and I cried the entire first half," Brady recalled. "Finally, my dad bought me one to shut me up for the second half. I think I have a picture of it.

"It was just a great. I remember we were on the opposite side of the stadium, and I started crying when everyone jumped up and screamed at the end when Dwight made the catch. I still have those memories."

San Francisco went to New England in 2004 and again in 2012 to win 41-34 during the 49ers' Super Bowl season.

"It was a great feeling to go up there, get that victory, especially against a team like that," quarterback Colin Kaepernick said. "It was huge and it was another confidence builder for our team."

Here are some things to watch for Sunday: BETHEA'S FIRST PICK: San Francisco safety Antoine Bethea's first career interception is still plenty fresh 10 years later. He has the ball at home in a case.

It came with the Colts against Brady, in

Hyper • Local

Foxborough, on Nov. 5, 2006, the first of three career picks he has of Brady passes.

"It's definitely something I remember, out there in Foxborough," Bethea said. "Of course I'm always going to remember that, especially because it comes on a top-caliber quarterback."

HOT TICKET: Brady, who grew up in nearby San Mateo, has arranged countless tickets for Sunday — "more than ever."

"I may never get the opportunity again, so it's nice to have all the support, and I've had a lot from the Bay Area over the years," Brady said. "My high school, my elementary school, and I still have so many friends from growing up, and coaches, my family, my aunts and uncles, cousins. It will just be a lot of fun to be out there."

KAEPERNICK IMPROVES: After failing to complete even half of his passes in each of his first two starts, Kaepernick has been much sharper the past two weeks after the bye.

Healthy again after three surgeries, and promoted in favor of Blaine Gabbert last month, he is completing 59 percent of his passes for 304 yards, three touchdowns, one interception and a 96.8 passer rating.

ROOKIE WOES: Patriots rookie defensive back Cyrus Jones returned last week against Seattle after being a healthy scratch for three straight games following his ejection during New England's win at Cleveland on Oct. 9.

During an up-and-down first year, he also has struggled to find consistency as a kick returner.

Jones' performance will determine how much he is on the field.

"It doesn't necessarily stay the same," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. "It hopefully gets better, but we just have to evaluate those performing opportunities."

LEWIS RETURNS?: Pats running back Dion Lewis was taken off injured reserve last week, but was inactive against Seattle. He has made progress since returning to practice, but the Patriots are unlikely to rush him.

New England is getting great production out of LeGarrette Blount, who leads the league with 12 touchdowns rushing. James White has also been a solid pass catching option out of the backfield, hauling 33 receptions for 290 yards and three touchdowns.

"I think any time a player is coming back from missing a significant amount of time, there's a certain buildup process," Belichick said of Lewis. "It's hard to predict how that's going to go."

When it comes to 21st century multimedia platforms, “hyper local” is a term you hear a lot.

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

But, day in and day out, The Westfield News provides consistant coverage of the stories you need to know about, that are important to your city, town, neighborhood and home.

Dear Annie

By ANNIE LANE

Infidelity Letters Struck a Chord Dear Annie: I read your column recently about the two gentlemen who each were married for a long time but found out their wives had had affairs after they passed away. This struck me because at times, I feel as if this could be me.

I know it’s probably a confidence issue on my part. I often think, “Why did my wife pick me? Am I enough?” I’ve brought this up to my wife before, and of course she was hurt that I would even think that she would have an affair.

Recently, I found out that she was sending another man nude pictures of herself. That hurt me beyond belief. It was a longtime gentleman friend. I say “gentleman,” but he’s not really. I feel that any respectable man who found out that a woman who is doing this is married would put a stop to it.

Her reason for sending the photos was that he would send her money and she felt that the only way to get the money was to do that.

I’m having a hard time dealing with this. I’ve been thinking of divorce. I just don’t know whether I can be happy and deal with the issue at hand. I want to work things out, but whenever I bring something up, she says it comes across as an attack on her. She thinks everything is OK when it isn’t. We’ve always wanted to go to counseling for couples because it has always seemed like a good idea. However, with kids and all, it’s hard to even sit down, let alone find the time to go.

I feel so alone in the marriage. I know I’m not; I know she loves me, even if she doesn’t say it. Our sex life isn’t what it used to be, and again, the kids -- especially the 1-year-old -put a lot of strain on that side of the relationship.

I know we have a lot of work to do in our relationship. Not to mention, I’m getting depressed again, so I have that to work on. The job I have, for which I’m away for 24-hour periods, doesn’t help. It leaves way too much time to myself to think and wonder.

I’ve tried therapy, but I’m not crazy about it. Really, I just want my wife to understand what I’m going through. I will try to keep talking to her and hope that soon we’ll get the professional help we need. -- Lonely Dear Lonely: What you put in is what you get out. I’m not blaming you for your wife’s infidelity (and yes, I would consider her sending R-rated photos to a male friend to be infidelity), but I am challenging you to take radical action to save your marriage. That means working on yourself and your selfesteem. If you don’t feel worthy of love, you’re preventing others from loving you.

It also means getting into marriage counseling ASAP. Make an appointment today. You’ve both expressed an interest in going. There’s nothing stopping you.

Dear Annie: This is a driving tip for people with road rage: Listen to audiobooks -- even on short trips, such as to the grocery. It makes waiting at lights, in traffic jams and on the highway much more pleasant, and it makes it easier to forgive the other driver.

HINTS FROM HELOISE BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY Dear Heloise: “Better safe than sorry” is what I live by. Whenever I travel, I take photos with my cellphone of my travel documents. I send one set to the person caring for my home and pets, and one to a relative.

It’s like having a file of my tickets, passport, itinerary, hotels, etc., with me. I can access them, if necessary. -Nona Mae H. in Houston CAKE DECORATING HINT Dear Heloise: If you need a revolving cake plate, use the Lazy Susan that may be on your kitchen table. Place cardboard wrapped in tinfoil on top of the Lazy Susan, and then place the cake on that. Now you can rotate the circular platter instead of you or the foil base when decorating! -- Baker in Boston NO WASTE Dear Heloise: I use steel-wool pads to clean many items in my kitchen. I’ve noticed that after just a few uses, they start to rust and crumble. Any hints on preserving them would be greatly appreciated. -- Glen W., via email.

Glen, here are two hints for you. A reader, Victoria, said: “When you are through using one, rinse it lightly, squeeze and knead the pad a bit until it’s foamy. Then put it on a plastic lid or bag to dry.”

Another reader, Nancy B., offered this idea earlier this year: “I use my steel-wool pads for about a year without them getting rusty. I put them in a plastic bag after each use and store them in the freezer.”

Nancy’s hint is a longtime, trusted hint from Heloise. No rust! -- Heloise

YOUR

HOROSCOPE

Contract Bridge

By Jaqueline Bigar

DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Nov. 19, 2016: This year you often get hot under the collar. Your temper surfaces a little too easily. Look at what is driving your reaction, and then figure out how to tame it.

As a result, others will feel less insecure around you. If you are single, you might move too quickly on developing bonds.

Time is your ally here, especially if you are involved with someone you work with. If you are attached, the two of you often vanish together. You have your disagreements, but you will patch them up more easily than you have been able to in the past. LEO lets you know how exceptional you can be.

Make sure that all the prep work is done properly before you proceed. Tonight: Indulge a loved one with a special treat.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Despite a verbal attack or an unfriendly glance, you know that the other party does care. You might want to see how this person moves through his or her mood. It would be best for everyone involved to step back. Remain caring and upbeat. Tonight: Time for a talk.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You have so much energy that you unintentionally might misdirect some of it. Perhaps a walk around the block or a visit to the gym could prove helpful. A loved one or dear friend wants to pitch in and help; accept his or her offer. Tonight: Finally seeing a personal matter as it is.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Your way of handling a personal matter will seem controversial to some. As a result, you might choose not to share your approach. Look at your long-term goals, and follow through accordingly. If you’re feeling off, schedule a checkup. Tonight: Zero in on what you want.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Stay on top of your responsibilities. An older relative could be unusually demanding. If you want the next 24 hours to be peaceful, handle the issue at hand. Deal with this person’s hostility directly. A loved one will help you mellow out. Tonight: Be with your best friend.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Assess your long-term objectives. Detach in order to see which path would be best. A personal issue might be confusing; perhaps you’re not clear about what is going on. Don’t worry; you will know what is happening soon enough. Tonight: Go where your mind can unwind.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You are not known to spend money like a drunken sailor, yet you might be behaving that way. Use some discipline. A conversation seems vague, and although you might think you know what is happening, this might not be the case! Tonight: Visit with a loved one over dinner.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You will be so full of energy that your eagerness to fight for what you want might be perceived as hostility. A loved one is likely to be offended, which could trigger all sorts of problems.

Tonight: Be aware of your finances; money could slip right through your fingers.

Crosswords

Cryptoquip

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You could be sitting on some anger without knowing it.

As a result, you are likely to give off a confusing vibe as you try to interact with those in your daily life. Figure out how you can come across more clearly. Tonight: Do your thing, but be aware of your feelings.

THE WESTFIELD NEWS QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions... and maybe a few actual answers

Who ya got?

SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves Knee-jerk reaction to the final four championship contenders.

GODSPEAK: All car manufacturers are represented, which is good. Would have liked to have seen Matt Kenseth in the final four.

KEN’S CALL: It’s a good mix.

A very good mix, actually.

But Kevin Harvick should be there.

Joey Logano has been running up front practically every week since summer. If you’re going to be in front of the others at the end, it helps to be near the front all day, and Logano is a near-lock to be there. Then again, so is Kyle Busch, but this seems to be Logano’s destiny this season. It’s just a hunch, but a strong one.

3 THINGS WE LEARNED FROM PHOENIX

Monster Energy?

That’s the newest stage whispers regarding a replacement for Sprint as NASCAR’s title sponsor for the Cup Series. Marketers of the high-octane energy drink have experience in reaching a young audience, and that has to be attractive to NASCAR. And since it’s a little late in the game to simply write off these rumors, maybe we’re going to see “Monster Cup” on signage soon.

Interesting stuff.

Best-case scenario?

GODSPEAK: The four contenders play tag with the lead and it’s decided by a last-lap pass.

KEN’S CALL: The obvious — two Chasers come off Turn 4 on the final lap, side by side for the win and for the head table at the banquet.

Worst-case scenario?

GODSPEAK: Joey Logano finishes 37th on three wheels but still takes home the title, then his car falls apart on the cool-down lap.

KEN’S CALL: Cousin Carl Edwards wins it and misses the landing on his post-race flip.

ONLINE EXTRAS

No due for Tony?

Kevin Harvick was griping that Tony Stewart wasn’t given a proper sendoff

by NASCAR and the tracks this year. Two issues here, Kevin: 1. It’s not like Tony has always been a predictable joy to work with; and 2. After what happened with Jeff Gordon this year, who’s to say Tony won’t be back in a car next year?

Maybe Kyle Busch knows something we don’t going into the NASCAR Championship 4 round. GETTY IMAGES/ JEFF ZELEVANSKY

1. Point taken

2. Harvick fails

3. Biffle’s milestone

As expected, Kyle Busch points-raced his way into the Championship 4 round.

Busch’s second-place finish at Phoenix was as good as a victory since race winner Joey Logano and him were tied on points going into the desert.

Busch has a shot to defend his 2015 crown.

Kevin Harvick proved he can’t win them all at Phoenix.

Going into Sunday’s race, he had won five of six at the 1-mile oval. He made a run at Logano, but raced clean and failed to make the critical pass for the lead. “We just didn’t quite have it all weekend,” said Harvick, fourth for the day.

Greg Biffle made his 500th career NASCAR Cup Series start at Phoenix and finished a nondescript 16th for his efforts. The 46-year-old driver, elder statesman in Cup right now, hopes for more at Homestead, where he is tied with Tony Stewart for all-time wins at three.

MATT KENSETH VS. ALEX BOWMAN: Just seven laps from the checkered flag, Kenseth and Bowman tangled. The crash took Kenseth out of the Chase Championship at Homestead.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: Kenseth may have received bad info from his spotter, who told him he was clear. “Just really disappointing end to the day, but one of those deals,” Bowman said. “Just a racing deal.”

1. Eyes on guys All eyes will be on the four guys racing for the 2016 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship at HomesteadMiami Speedway. Jimmie Johnson, Carl Edwards, Joey Logano and Kyle Busch will conduct a four-way battle for title honors as the other 36 drivers go for the race win.

Remember, the highest finishing Chase driver wins the title, which means 37th place could produce a championship. No kidding.

2. Closing arguments All four Chase drivers have compelling arguments to be NASCAR Cup Series champion.

Johnson has six titles, and a seventh would tie him with Dale Earnhardt and Richard Petty atop the all-time list. Busch won it last year, so he has the most recent

Joey Logano has done two victory burnouts in the past four weeks.

Can he make three out of five at Homestead? GETTY IMAGES/JONATHAN FERREY

experience. Logano has won two races in the past four weeks, so he’s on a hot streak.

Edwards has finished second twice in points and needs no motivation to press forward.

3. Goodbye, guys The Ford EcoBoost 400 will be the last Cup Series race for three-time champion Tony Stewart, who announced his retirement at the end of the

WHAT’S ON TAP?

2015 season, and Brian Scott, who is calling it quits after 53 starts, citing the need to spend more time with family.

Scott has one top-five finish on his Cup record; when he finished second to Logano at Talladega in October. We’ll miss you, Brian Scott, even though we hardly knew you.
