Planning Board amendment stalled
Local questions will be on Nov. ballot By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – On November 4, Massachusetts residents will stroll to the polls to cast their ballots for statewide referendums – chief among them whether or not the Commonwealth will repeal its automatic gas tax and casino laws – and who will succeed Deval Patrick as Governor in January. Residents will also be faced with questions of a more local nature on their ballots in November, which will vary from district to district. I n Westfield, two Dan Allie public policy questions will be posed to city residents, asking whether or not they support requesting the city’s representatives in Boston to introduce and vote for legislation to return local aid and road maintenance funding to what it was in the fiscal year 2007. The questions were placed on the ballot thanks in large part to the signature gathering efforts of at-large City Councilor Dan Allie, who will be on the ballot himself on Nov. 4 against incumbent state Rep. John Velis for the 4th Hampden District seat in a rematch of their April 1 special election. Asked of the importance of the questions, Allie says they will show the city’s elected officials what they’re looking for out of them during the next session.

Voc-Tech gets Gulfstream grant By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – After much speculation, the ink is finally dry on an agreement between Gulfstream Aerospace and Westfield Vocational Technical High School in which the Savannah, Georgia-based corporation will provide $200,000 over the next four years. The money will go toward assisting the school in getting the nascent Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) aviation maintenance program off the ground by the target date of September 2015. “We’ll have the money by the end of March every year and they’re specific as to what they want us to purchase,” said WVTHS Principal Stefan Czaporowski Friday. “The money must go toward aviation and funding educational tools – equipment, tools, textbooks, anything curricular.” Czaporowski said that the school had originally requested $100,000 and Czaporowski added that the school’s Aviation Advisory Board is moving along with other fundraising efforts, as well. “The Community Preservation Commission granted an additional $30,000 for the interior of the hangar (at Barnes Airport), so that’s $500,000,” Czaporowski said. “We’ve gotten $25,000 from MassDOT (Massachusetts Department of Transportation) to hire a consultant to kind of be our facilitator with the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and bring it all home, if you will. That RFP (request for proposal) for
that went out last week.” “We have another $1 million rolling grant for more equipment that we’re finalizing and will be submitting very soon,” Czaporowski added, along with a $36,000 Perkins grant. He said that the school has also applied for an additional $500,000 grant after a recent visit from state Secretary for Housing and Economic Development Greg Bialecki. “If you add it all up, we’re up to $2.36 million,” Czaporowski said before estimating what is still needed to get the program in the air. “It’s hard to tell what the interior will cost, but we have a rough idea, but we’re looking at about $3.5 million,” he said. “But $2.36 out of $3.5 ain’t bad considering we just started.” Fran Ahern, general manager of Gulfstream’s Westfield facility and head of the Aviation Advisory Board’s finance committee, spoke of what the grant will mean for not just the fledgling program but also the survival of the flight industry, one that experts believe will be in need of tens of thousands of new workers within the next 20 years. “I’m certainly proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish locally and that’s a reflection of all the employees we have here,” said Ahern of Gulfstream’s continued efforts to help local initiatives. “This will provide some opportunities for some folks and it helps the company, as well. It’s a win-win for everybody.”
Town auctions surplus vehicles, equipment By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – The town is offering several items for surplus, including four vehicles. Among the vehicles are three Ford Crown Victorias and a 1991 GMC Top Kick truck. Chief Administrative Officer Karl Stinehart said the vehicles do run, for the most part, but are not being marketed as working cars. “They are being sold for parts only,” he said. In addition to the vehicles, the town is selling several pieces of equipment, including a red pump by Hale Pumps, a yellow utility body with hoist, a curb maker machine 11hp motor, Frank Roll-off plow, Tenco Roll-off plow, a Marlow Mud Hog, 21 ft. dual axle trailer Serial, a Dayton air compressor, a Wisconsin Generator with win-
power corp. alternator, 1-phase, 62.5 amp, 120/240 volt, alt. model #GR15W4-C/10VL Serial # MO-8067-1, and a 44” x 44” stainless wet well hatch door. Stinehart said it has been nearly two years since the town held a surplus sale, and past sales saw some competition. “We used to get a lot of interest in Crown Victoria parts from taxi companies,” said Stinehart. “We would get calls from the midwest, Pennsylvania, Florida, South Boston.” The town has used some of the vehicles for parts to repair police and town vehicles. Successful bidders are responsible for the removal of surplus item(s) from town property within 10 days of being awarded the item or items.
Vehicles and equipment may be viewed on October 29 at 9 a.m., at the DPW Garage at 661 College Highway. The Board of Selectmen reserves the right to accept or reject, in whole or in part, any or all bids and to take whatever other action may be deemed to be in the best interest of the Town of Southwick. Bids labeled “Bid for Surplus Property” should be delivered in a plainly marked envelope to: Office of the Selectmen, 454 College Highway, Southwick, MA 01077. All bids are due and will be opened and read aloud Nov. 5 at 10 a.m. in the Selectmen’s conference room in Town Hall. Stinehart said all money from the sale will go to the general fund and he hopes to receive several thousand dollars.
By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The City Council sent an amendment of the ordinances establishing and regulating operation of the Planning Board back to its Legislative & Ordinance Committee Thursday after an extended debate on a portion of the amendment. The L&O had voted 3-0 to present the ordinance amendment with a positive recommendation after discussing it prior to the full City Council session. The amendBRIAN P. ment has three components: it SULLIVAN defines the role of associate or alternate members; it defines a quorum needed to conduct Planning Board meetings; and it would eliminate ward representation on the Planning Board which is currently composed of six ward representatives and one at-large representative. Elimination of the ward representation was the issue dividing the council and led to returning the amendment to the L&O. At-large Councilor Brian Sullivan, chairman of the L&O, said the committee, which includes at-large Councilor Matthew VanHeynigen, a former long-time member of the Planning Board, said the committee was submitting the amendment to eliminate ward representation with support of the Planning Board members. Sullivan said elimination of the ward representation “ will allow us to better fill vacancies on the Planning Board.” “We have the final say to vote down any (Planning Board) candidate who would give too much representation to one ward,” Sullivan said. “All members of the Planning Board effective operate as at-large members representing the entire city. The L&O feels this will help the board to be more effective and efficient.” Sullivan said a similar motion to eliminate Planning Board ward representation “was voted down in 2012 because of the strong will of ward councilors (to maintain ward representation).” Thursday night it was at-large council members who led the opposition to eliminating ward representation of the Planning Board Council President Brent B. Bean, an at-large councilor, said he would “not vote to support” the amendment as presented with elimination of ward representation. “I’m looking at this the way it’s set up now, (that) it guaranties full representation of the city,” Bean said. “Most importantly with ward representation if guaranties a flat look at the city.” At-large Councilor Cindy Harris sided with Bean’s argument. “I feel that all wards should be represented. It is much better balanced for the city,” she said. At-large Councilor David A. Flaherty said he was “opposed as well. “We have an at-large opening right now that we can’t fill. Changing this ordinance will not help with that issue,” Flaherty said. At-large Councilor James R. Adams, also an L&O member, said that he had discussed the issue with See Planning Board, Page 8

Cemetery hopes 5K race, actors draw new customers PEORIA, Ill. (AP) — A cemetery in central Illinois is embarking on an unusual marketing campaign that includes a 5K race and actors dressing as people buried there. The goal is to encourage more people to buy lots at Springdale Cemetery, Bob Manning, chairman of the management authority at the Peoria cemetery, told the Journal Star. Ten events will be hosted this month in an effort to diversify the appeal of the sprawling East Bluff property, he said. “We know if we get people back into the cemetery, they’re going to be amazed at its beauty,” Manning said. “Then, hopefully, they’ll think of us when time comes.” Actors from the Prairie Folklore Theater kicked off the initiative by portraying people who have been buried in the cemetery since it opened in 1857. Visitors were able to meet the famous locals during walking tours. They have attracted people who probably wouldn’t normally visit the cemetery, according to Manning. The cemetery also held the Ron Santo Walk and 5K to Cure Diabetes earlier this month and is set to hold the Screaming Pumpkin Race next week. “Springdale is one the most beautiful and
pristine areas to run in central Illinois,” said Adam White, owner of a local athletic gear and shoe store. “It’s in the middle of the city of Peoria, but it’s quiet and has the serious mileage required so routes don’t have to overlap much.” Officials hope to hold many more races at the cemetery in the future, Manning said. The cemetery’s general manager plans to unveil the new marketing campaign in its entirety, including events other than the tours and races, next week.

O
n Oct. 18, 1767, the Mason-Dixon line, the boundary between Pennsylvania and Maryland, was set as astronomer Charles Mason and surveyor Jeremiah Dixon completed their survey.
On this date: In 1685, King Louis XIV signed the Edict of Fontainebleau, revoking the Edict of Nantes that had established legal toleration of France’s Protestant population, the Huguenots. In 1867, the United States took formal possession of Alaska from Russia. In 1892, the first long-distance telephone line between New York and Chicago was officially opened (it could only handle one call at a time). In 1922, the British Broadcasting Co., Ltd.

COMMENT
There was a bad accident at the corner of Main and Cross Street Fri. the 10th of Oct. about 2:35 PM. The Fire Dept, Police and EMT were there. Why was this not in the Westfield News? Occasionally, items which might otherwise be included in the Police Log get omitted. In this case, because of the timing of the crash on Friday and when the log was reviewed on Saturday, details should have been sought on Monday but were not pursued due to a reporter’s memory lapse. The facts of the incident appear to be that a motorist on Main Street drove off the roadway in the vicinity of the Cross Street intersection and struck a bicyclist on the sidewalk, a pedestrian, a mail box and a fire hydrant. The bicyclist was transported to Baystate Medical Center where he was admitted and subsequently discharged. The pedestrian suffered only minor injuries, declined medical attention and reportedly transported himself to Noble Hospital. When I go into Westfield and park my car to walk around and visit the stores [as I like to deal with local merchants], I would love to sit out in front of Mama Cakes or Clemanza’s and have a bite to eat. I have tried it. The traffic from the eighteen wheelers, the fumes, the noise, makes what could be fun experience, anything but. It turns it into a very stressful and uncomfortable visit. The eighteen wheelers go through town one after the other. If they are at a light and you are trying to eat, it is one unhealthy situation..stressful and noisy, and most of all dirty. Then the light turns green, the noise begins, and one 18 wheeler gets through before the light turns red and there is another one sitting now at the light. This could easily be fixed by routing the 18 wheelers down Meadow or Washington Street, or limiting them to certain hours to pass through the main thoroughfare. I have never seen so many trucks of all sizes to include the 18 Wheelers go down a main thoroughfare as they do here in Westfield. I have lived here for 54 years but I grew up in the busy city of Milford, Connecticut and to this day the main thoroughfare is a wonderful place to sit and eat at outside cafes, walk through the stores and have a fun day. I am sorry that is not the case here in Westfield, because I love this city and feel really deeply sorry for the folks who are trying to make a living with their stores on the main thoroughfare... a thoroughfare that is not a fun place to walk. After speaking with a member of the city’s Traffic Commission, the idea of rerouting truck traffic from Elm Street (itself a state highway) through residential side streets is not a viable option. According to Commissioner Dave Billips, the only alternative would be to put another exit between Lee and Westfield on the Massachusetts Turnpike, which he doubts the liklihood of. One suggestion would be to attend the next meeting of the traffic commission and see what they might suggest. Continue the conversation http://thewestfieldnews.com/pulseline-form

Facebook unfriends federal drug agency WASHINGTON (AP) — Facebook wants assurances from the Drug Enforcement Administration that it’s not operating any more fake profile pages as part of ongoing investigations. Facebook’s chief security officer, Joe Sullivan, said in a letter Friday to DEA Administrator Michele Leonhart that law enforcement agencies need to follow the same rules about being truthful on Facebook as civilian users. Those rules include a ban on lying about who you are. Sullivan’s letter was in response to a New York woman’s federal lawsuit claiming that a DEA agent created a fake online persona using her name and photographs stored on her cellphone. In court filings, Sondra Arquiett said her pictures were retrieved from her cellphone after she was arrested in July 2010 on drug charges and her cellphone seized. Arquiett said the fake page was being used by DEA agent Timothy Sinnigen to interact with “dangerous individuals he was investigating.” Arquiett is asking for $250,000 in damages. “Facebook has long made clear that law enforcement authorities are subject to these policies,” Sullivan wrote. “We regard DEA’s conduct to be a knowing and serious breach of Facebook’s terms and policies.” Facebook also wants the DEA to confirm that it has stopped using any other fake profile pages it may have created. “The department has launched a review into the incident at issue in this case,” Justice Department spokesman Brian Fallon said in response to a request for comment. “That review is ongoing, but to our knowledge, this is not a widespread practice among our federal law enforcement agencies.” The Justice Department initially defended the practice, arguing in an August court filing that while Arquiett didn’t directly authorize Sinnigen to create the fake account, she “implicitly consented by granting access to the information stored in her cellphone and by consenting to the use of that information to aid in ... ongoing criminal investigations.” Last week the agency announced it would review whether the Facebook guise went too far. The case was scheduled to go to trial this week, but court records show it has been sent to mediation.
Work Force grant will allow AIM to provide free training for supervisors By Christopher Geehern blog.aimnet.org Employers will be able to improve the skills of their key supervisors at no cost under a $200,000 grant awarded to Associated Industries of Massachusetts today by the state Workforce Training Fund Program (WTFP). FourpeopleAIM’s supervisory/leadership training series was among 10 initiatives to win grants under the WTFP Regional Training Capacity Pilot Program. The grants, announced this afternoon at UPS in Watertown, are designed to meet regional demands for training that may not have the scope or scale to merit a standard Workforce Training Grant. The awards will also help larger organizations that want to offer leadership education to limited populations of new hires, a leadership bench player or newly promoted supervisor. “A large segment of leadership teams are comprised of home-grown, high potential people who have shown technical ability, but who have not had the chance to learn the human relations and decision making skills that are important to helping others succeed,” said Gary MacDonald, Executive Vice President of AIM. “AIM’s Supervisory Skills program focuses on these complementary skill sets, resulting in better retention of talent, a more engaged and adaptive workforce, and improved productivity and bottom-line results.” MacDonald said companies face a multitude of internal and external issues that can be resolved, minimized or avoided by good supervisory and leadership practices: • Retention and turnover • Legal compliance and understanding of obligations under the law • Hiring the right person • Effective communication practices • Delegation and prioritization • Identifying and solving problems • Becoming an agent for and a leader of organizational change • Generating ideas and innovation • Developing and working in teams with multicultural & multigenerational members • Increasing employee performance • Understanding leadership responsibilities and accountabilities. AIM plans to run its Supervisory Skills program multiple times during 2015 in five locations – Bridgewater, Burlington, Fitchburg, Holyoke and Marlborough. The program content is applicable to any industry. The Regional Training Capacity Pilot Program awarded
grants to other organizations for computer skills, English for Speakers of other Languages, Manufacturing Skills and Process Improvement. The 10 grants total a $2 million state investment in work force training. “We are very interested in helping small businesses access the fund either individually or through collaborations with other businesses with similar needs.” said Nancy Snyder, President and CEO of Commonwealth Corporation, which administers the funds for the Office of Labor and Workforce Development. “This program allows small businesses that may not otherwise apply for a grant on their own to quickly gain access to training on topics in highest demand.” AIM delivers hundreds of supervisory skills training sessions each year in seminar and private settings. The staff of 10 instructors averages several decades of management and human resources experience across a variety of industries. “The grant provides employers with a unique opportunity to improve productivity, build leadership and address legal compliance concerns at no out-of-pocket cost,” said Lori Bourgoin, Vice President of Educational Programs at AIM. “Nothing drives workforce engagement, productivity and retention more than front-line leadership. Well trained supervisors determine whether employees support change or resist, grow into the business or tune out.” ——— Please contact Bourgoin (lbourgoin@aimnet.org) at AIM for more information.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
By MARK AUERBACH Correspondent EAST HADDAM, Conn. – “Irving Berlin’s Holiday Inn”, the current Goodspeed Musicals offering, is an evening of showstopping dance numbers, some great Irving Berlin standards, a fun book, fantastic performances, costumes for days, and an entertainment quotient of 150 percent. It has already been extended through December 21, so skip to the bottom of this review for ticket information, and come back to read this summary after you’ve snagged some tickets. Goodspeed Musicals has brought the 1942 Irving Berlin movie musical, “Holiday Inn” to life as a stage show. “Holiday Inn”, which starred Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire, featured a simple plot–a vaudeville team goes their separate ways–one to Hollywood and one to Connecticut. Hollywood takes Connecticut’s fiance with him. Connecticut finds love on a farm he’s purchased in foreclosure. Director Gordon Greenberg and Chad Hodge have adapted the show for the stage, and their light and airy script basically connects the dozen plus Irving Berlin melodies and throws in some gags and jokes. You won’t need Wikipedia or Cliff Notes to figure out what’s happening. What’s happening is some of the best Broadway choreography I’ve seen on any stage in years. For anyone who likes splashy productions numbers and mourns the loss of Bob Fosse or Michael Bennett, remember the name Denis Jones. (He’ll be choreographing the much anticipated “Honeymoon in Vegas” opening on Broadway this year). Jones takes the cavalcade of Berlin hits written for the film… ”White Christmas”, “Easter Parade”, “Heat Wave”, Steppin’ Out With My Baby”, and “You’re Easy To Dance With”, and has given each a creative style of its own. From the snazzy “Steppin’ Out With My Baby” which opens the show to the showstopping “Shaking The Blues Away” each number outdoes the next. The entire ensemble are fantastic dancers. They make every move look effortless and easy. Gordon Greenberg’s direction is flawless, and he gives the show’s most famous number, “White Christmas”, a quiet rendering… piano and singers, which really gives the music of Irving Berlin its just showcase. Dan DeLange’s orchestrations are great, and Michael O’Flaherty’s music direction is perfect. O’Flaherty conducted opening night, and brought some great performances out of the orchestra. Anna Louizos’ sets are delightful, as are Alejo Vietti’s endless parade of costumes. (You’ll love the bonnets in “Easter Parade”). Jeff Croiter’s lighting is choreographed in synch with Jones’ choreography. The performances are delightful. First, the ensemble is nimble on its feet, and charming to watch. The four leads, Noah Racey, Talley Sessions, Patti Murin, and Hayley Podschun, are terrific. Racey’s tap solo is tour-deforce. I loved Susan Mosher as a comic sidekick. Irving Berlin’s music is underappreciated these days, and his songs… from the flash to the quiet, are gems. Performed with zest, and choreographed and danced with verve, they’re all solid gold. “Irving Berlin’s Holiday

Putting Westfield’s Veterans First
”
John’s vigorous support of veterans is unparalleled. As a veteran himself, he’s keenly aware of the challenges we face upon returning home to civilian life. That’s why he voted to allow veterans from any state to attend our state colleges and universities at in-state tuition rates. This is a “hand up,” not a “hand out” which helps veterans transition to competitive jobs. John is one of only 4 active members of the military in the Massachusetts legislature, so he brings a unique insight and experience to veteran’s issues that most legislators simply cannot. As a result, I know John will prioritize the needs of veterans and the residents of Westfield over party politics not only because of my personal experience with him, but because he has already done so. While John has been in Boston, he has fought as vigorously and passionately for Westfield as he fought for our country overseas. His experience facilitating rule of law in the most derelict of places is evidence to his capability of doing so in the State House. John’s tireless efforts will get more support to veterans, where it belongs. I am honored to add my voice to the many supporting John Velis for a full term as our State Representative.

ST. JUDE’S NOVENA
May the sacred Heart of Jesus be adored, glorified, loved and preserved throughout the world now & forever, amen. Sacred Heart of Jesus, pray for us. St. Jude, worker of miracles, pray for us. St. Jude, helper of the hopeless, pray for us. Say this prayer 9 times a day, by the 8th day your prayer will be answered. Say it for 9 days. It has never been known to fail. Publication must be promised. Thank You, St. Jude. M.J.K. A PRAYER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT
Holy Spirit, You who made me see everything and showed me the way to reach my ideal. You, who gave me the Divine gift to forgive and forget the wrong done to me and you, who are in all instances of my life with me. I, in this short dialogue want to thank you for everything and confirm once more that I never want to be separated from you no matter how great the material desire may be. I want to be with You and my loved ones in your perpetual Glory. Thank you for your love towards me and my loved ones. Persons must pray the prayer three consecutive days without asking your wish. After the third day wish will be granted no matter how difficult it may be. Then promise to publish this dialogue as soon as this favor is granted. I will never stop trusting in God and his power.
M.J.K.

As a combat veteran of the Afghanistan war, veterans will always be one of the highest priorities for me. Because I am still currently serving in the military, I have a unique ability to understand the needs of our service men and women. Jobs for returning veterans, as well as support services for all veterans will always be a major item on my legislative agenda. In my short time in office, I voted to make veterans eligible for in-state tuition for any Massachusetts state college, community college, or state university. It is important that we provide veterans with the tools to reestablish themselves in society. Nothing pains me more than to see veterans being turned away by the system. We need to do what we can to make government more efficient. We need to hold government employees accountable in the same way they are held accountable in the private sector. In Boston, I will continue to work to ensure that the people who dedicated their lives to maintaining our freedom are given the right treatment when they return.

THE WESTFIELD NEWS
OCTOBER EDITION: WESTFIELD’S STATE REPRESENTATIVE CANDIDATES The election for State Representative for Westfield is a rematch of the candidates from the previous election, John Velis and Dan Allie. After interviewing both candidates, each member has discussed the two responses. If anyone who is high school aged is interested in writing, please have them email the Student Coordinator, Devon Kurtz, at wnstudentthinktank@gmail.com. Devon Kurtz 11th Grade Westfield High School After interviewing both candidates on their experience, it became clear that each candidate has their own definitive approach to public service. Dan Allie is a grassroots civic leader and coordinator. His experience as a City Councilor in Westfield, as well as a small business owner gives him the local edge. Mr. Allie impressed me with the long list of projects and initiatives he has worked on over the course of his career as an active citizen. In a silly analogy, he is the overachiever who sits next to you in high school and is president of every club. Allie is a veteran in public service, yet is not a career politician. This is an important aspect to him that I believe makes him a strong candidate. In the same analogy, Representative Velis is the hot shot football (or in his case basketball) captain who has been around the world and whose family everyone in town knows. Rep. Velis is a captain in the military, and a lawyer; he is an extremely professional individual. He has mediated situations in Afghanistan, worked with tribal leaders who speak a completely different language, and solved problems that makes our Statehouse seem like a playground. If Velis is re-elected, there is not a doubt in my mind that he will take charge and get the job done. Velis’s voting record shows someone who will represent Westfield well, and who is willing to vote against Speaker DeLeo. Being a Democrat, I believe that Velis would actually be able to have more of a free voice than Allie, who, as a Republican, might feel the obligation to vote with Minority Leader Bradley Jones in most cases, even if it is not what Westfield wants. This is not entirely the fault of either of them, but the fault of the one party state that Massachusetts has become, where the Democrats have a supermajority in both houses. The reassuring factor in this race is that if either one is elected, whether it be Allie or Velis, the overachiever or the hot shot, both will be strong representatives for Westfield. I have confidence that Westfield voters will make the right choice this November, whichever one they choose. The people always know best. Marissa Katsounakis 11th Grade Westfield High School As many may know, the Massachusetts Senate voted to raise the state’s minimum wage from $8 per hour to $11 per hour over the period of 3 years. John Velis and Dan Allie took opposing views on this issue when asked for their opinions. Velis, the Democratic candidate, was unquestionably in favor of this change, as he believes $8 an hour is not sustainable for a person who has to support a family. He made it clear that the reason he was in favor of it was because he does not think it is harmful to businesses. Since businesses are given plenty of notice that this rise in minimum wage will occur, he believes they have enough time to prepare for it. He does not believe it will cause employees to get laid off because “businesses know it is coming.” He made the point that he would not be supporting the change if it was not carried out in a probusiness way. Velis mentioned how he had visitied businesses in Massachusetts, and none of them had an issue with minimum wage rising, and instead their main issue was a lack of consumers. On the other hand, Allie, the Republican candidate, believes a rise in the minimum wage will be harmful to businesses. He explained how hours will be cut if businesses cannot cover the cost of their employees. He also brings up the point that minimum wage jobs are usually “entry-level positions,” and they are mostly for young people who are getting experience and training. A minimum wage job is not meant to support a family, he says, so one is not expected to live off $8 per hour, and there is no need to increase minimum wage. Allie also mentioned how there are many fees and costs businesses have to cover that most do not realize, and it is already difficult for them to make a profit in this economy. Allie ended his argument by saying, “I understand how to run a business, and how to promote people and business.” With this being said, it is obvious that the two candidates have exact opposite beliefs on the rising minimum wage.

Ellie Dufraine 11th Grade Westfield High School In the upcoming race between John Velis and Dan Allie for a seat in the Massachusetts House of Representatives, there are many questions for these politicians concerning the referendums added to the very same ballot as their names. I, however, took an alternative view by asking a question based on pressing issues in Western Massachusetts that seem to have no ideal solution in the near future; “What is your stance on controlling gang activity in Western Massachusetts? Do you think cities should spend more time and money on preventing gang-related violence and crimes? Why?” Current House of Representative seat-holder John Velis had a rather unique (and reflective of his bipartisan tendencies) view on the increasing gang activity that plagues our neighboring communities. Velis explained that Westfield, while still considered a “safe” community, is threatened by the spill-over effects of heroin trafficking between big cities like Springfield and Holyoke. According to Velis, the best solution to controlling these side-effects is to combine separate gang, drug, and gun units in local police departments to ensure the strongest possible law enforcement to combat the evil riddled through our cities’ streets. These specialized units would also be in charge of watching the narcotics trade and linking it to those involved in gangs in order to apprehend the criminals and prevent crime and violence. Dan Allie, however, had a much more preventative approach to gang crimes in Western Massachusetts. Instead of increasing local law enforcement, he argued that that the only effective way to stop gangs is to stop the breakdown of families’ social structures and to allow equal economic opportunities for everybody (as it is well known that there is a definite link between family and financial instability and gang activity). The solution, according to Allie, is to support educating young kids with unstable home situations to prevent them from joining gangs, and to likewise provide job training and education opportunities for adults already involved with gangs. Clearly, these candidates have nearly polar opposite views on how we are to attack the growing issue of gang activity in Western Massachusetts, but no matter how much they promise to fix things, it is up to us who is worth entrusting our valuable political voices with. Adam Lajeunesse 11th Grade Westfield High School John Velis and Dan Allie are polar opposites when it comes to politics. Allie is your typical Conservative while Velis does not like to support a party strongly; however, he is labeled a Democrat. Although I am a Conservative, Velis really won me over. His confidence and poise in the way he spoke was truly outstanding. Don’t get me wrong, I do believe in Allie’s viewpoints and morals more than those of John’s, but he did not possess the “wow” factor that Velis did. I asked them both the same question; who had the greatest influence on your decision to join the party you belong to? Their answers were different than I had anticipated. Dan Allie answered the question head on. Steve Pierce was his idol as well as his greatest influence to join the Republican Party. Steve was the State Representative from Westfield during the 1980’s. He was also the State House Minority Leader and he ran for Governor in 1990. He was a smart man who held admirable qualities and Dan told us a story about how smart he actually was. In 1990, the Massachusetts economy was booming with technology companies and real estate. Steve saw that this was an economic bubble and that the State was spending every time they were taking in. He predicted that as soon as the economy went back to normal, the State would be deficit spending as far as the eye could see. His predictions were correct and it took 20 years of a temporary income tax increase to clean up the mess. Clearly he was a wise man and I can see why Allie thinks highly of him.
Allie went further into detail about how he opposes high taxes and how something should be done about them. He was explaining how bad the roads of Westfield are and that the money we pay in taxes, we never see again. He believes too much money is put into welfare programs and he supports limited government regulation. All of these beliefs and opinions on certain topics make him into the hardcore Republican he is. Not to mention he drives a 1980’s Camero. I do agree with Dan and the majority of his viewpoints; however, he was too bland for my liking. I felt he was not the type of person to go out and fix a problem, but rather sit back and hope the problem solves itself. When I asked John Velis the same question, he answered it and elaborated much more than Allie had. Velis emphasized that he works for the people; he is not about being a Democrat or Republican. He told us about an incident he had that stems from a tiny village on the border of Pakistan. Velis was leading a task force that went in to clean up the aftermath of a war that occurred there. There was a Pakistani man who was talking to the people of his village stressing the need to build consensus, work together, and to do things as a community. This inspired Velis and made him into the Politician he is today. John also looks up to JFK because he “got things done.” He was a Conservative Democrat that did things for the people and the betterment of the community. In a way, Velis wants to model himself after JFK. This society does not need people who are so moored to their political party as to be worthless. The political parties have never been so polarized and we have to change this. Velis stated, “I don’t care about party politics. Strongly supporting a party only makes me like my friends at the Federal level who get nothing done.” Velis is 100% right. They are too busy arguing about the issues to solve them. John describes himself as “a breath of fresh air” and I believe that. Velis motivated me to think more about what today’s society is like politically and I thank him for that. Billy Cordes 11th Grade Suffield Academy My question: How do you plan on increasing local aid to the Westfield area? Both candidates replied to my question with valid statements and examples about the topic along with having proposals that are legitimate and reasonable. We discussed some examples where the local aid would be put to best use. As we all know quite well, the roads in Westfield are terrible. Candidate John Velis agreed to this declaration while adding that the fire departments need renovation because they are old and should be up to higher standards. Driving on newly paved streets is one of the many ways that townspeople would be able to visibly see where the aid is going. Candidate Velis said, “Local aid is the lifeblood of the community.” I agree with this statement. The majority of the attention is towards the eastern part of Massachusetts, specifically the Boston area. In Candidate Velis’ eyes, the “more powerful people” are ignoring our city. Candidate Dan Allie had a similar take of the subject, yet his ideas focused more on why Westfield has had such little aid in the past. His primary focus for loss of aid was the Lottery failing to do its designed purpose, which is provide revenue to cities for education and help lower property taxes within the area. While money is being put aside for these things, apparently there is a significant portion that is not. Candidate Allie said that the state has taken a total of 700 million dollars out of the Lottery fund in the past five years. The consequences of these unknown actions have been raised property taxes or cut services to make up for this loss of money. This loss of money has occurred over and over again because not enough people knew about the matter. Both candidates supplied examples of how they would take on the challenge. Velis said that it is critical to have a louder voice and to direct attention to the Western region, while his opponent wanted to organize busloads of various citizens to go down to Boston and talk. A line that Candidate Allie said that stuck with me was directed to those higher-level people who aren’t fulfilling their jobs appropriately. This statement was, “Get your priorities straight, restore local aid or do not think about running for re-election.”

Planning Board
Nov. Ballot Continued from Page 1
Planning Board members. “They will tell you that people don’t come to their (Planning Board) ward representatives,” Adams said. “There is only one other community in the Commonwealth which has (Planning Board) ward representation. “We have ward representatives here on the City Council that people can come to with issues,” Adams said. “My concern with ward representation is it may be a problem in the future when a great candidate, well-qualified, comes forward, but can’t serve because the ward seat is already filled,” Adams said Ward 6 Councilor Christopher Crean said the he supports ward representation on all boards and commissions, but not in the case of the Planning Board because the duties of that board are “very demanding and place enormous time constraints on its members.” “I don’t like (Planning Board) meetings being cancelled, even one meeting, because that holds up businesses,” Crean said. Ward 2 Councilor Ralph Figy also supported the ordinance change to eliminate ward representation. “My concern is that we can have associate members on that board for years getting trained, but we can’t use them in a full-board member capacity because their ward seat is filled, which is a waste of human resources,” Figy said. “I see it as a way of enhancing a critical, very important, board.” Ward 1 Councilor Christopher Keefe said his head count of the council members had the vote at 6 to 6 which would result in the defeat of the proposed ordinance amendment. Ward 4 Councilor Mary O’Connell, who was stuck at an airport and unable to be present Thursday night, has been a strong proponent of ward representation on the Planning Board in the past. Ward 5 Councilor Robert A. Paul Senior made the motion to return the amendment to the L&O. Sullivan urged the councilors to approve Paul’s motion. “We like 80 percent of this amendment. It’s just the ward representation that is an issue, so there is no reason to kill it now. Send it back to committee,” Sullivan said. Paul’s motion was approved by an 11-1 vote, with VanHeynigen casting the lone dissenting vote.

“It’s a matter of priorities. (The state) created that $12.5 billion transportation bond bill and the Governor (Deval Patrick) only allocated $200 million for road maintenance for the entire state,” said Allie. “The legislature wanted more and he (Patrick) dialed it back to $200 million. In Westfield, the budget to fix 400 miles of roads is $1.3 million, which will fix two miles.” Regarding the need to restore the level of local aid the state’s cities and towns were receiving prior to the recession in 2007, Allie feels the earnings of the state’s lottery – created in the ’70s with the express purpose of returning money to the Commonwealth’s municipalities – need to be put toward intended purpose. “(Lottery money) was supposed to be put toward education and to help lower our property taxes,” he said. “It’s money for education, how do you take that without all hell breaking loose? A lot of people didn’t know they (the state) were doing that. “The state has taken $700 million out of the lottery over the last five years,” Allie said, who stated the two questions are ‘non-binding’ public policy questions. “The representative doesn’t have to do anything. It’s really public opinion,” he continued. “It’s one way of the people to communicate to their state representative or senator that this is what they want and to ask them to vote accordingly.”

Purple Knights stun WHS By Chris Putz Staff Writers HOLYOKE – There have been several miraculous plays in football such as the Hail Mary, the Immaculate Reception and the Music City Miracle. On Friday, the Westfield High School football team fell prey to the “hook-and-ladder.” Previously winless Holyoke completed a spectacular late game touchdown pass and two-point conversion to stun Westfield 30-29 in a turnover-plagued affair Friday night at Roberts Field. Junior quarterback Andrew Peltier completed a short pass to senior wide out Daniel Boyle, who, in turn, lateralled the ball to junior running back Brian Swierzewski, who streamed down the left sideline for a jaw-dropping, 60-plus yard touchdown with 1:26 remaining in regulation. Holyoke (1-5) held strong on Westfield’s final possession. It was a strong opening start for the Bombers (1-5), who scored first when Cody Neidig galloped for a long touchdown run early in the first quarter. Holyoke responded, scoring on a two-yard touchdown run from Swierzewski with 2:31 remaining in the quarter. The key play on the drive was a successful fake punt, converting on fourth-and-5 from midfield. Later in the half, Westfield reclaimed the lead. Bombers’ quarterback Austin St. Pierre eluded the grasp of a defensive player and raced 22 yards for the go-ahead touchdown with 2:07 left in the second quarter. Neidig set up the score with a long kickoff return, giving Westfield a short field. Holyoke tied the game up just before the half on a short TD run from Peltier. Westfield struck first in the second half. With less than nine minutes remaining in the third quarter, senior fullback Craig Ward scored on a tough 15-yard run. Ward eluded the headlock of a Holyoke player near the line of

scrimmage with a spin before stiff-arming a Purple Knight at the 5-yard line and crossing the goal line just inside the pylon to make it a 21-14 ball game. Holyoke claimed its first lead of the game late in the fourth quarter when Peltier completed a 21-yard touchdown pass to junior wide receiver DeVante Wardell. The Purple Knights completed a two-point conversion when Swierzewski caught a pass from Peltier, who just missed being sacked by the Bombers. Westfield responded. Neidig ripped off a long run to get his team into Holyoke territory. St. Pierre soon scored on a designed quarterback run up the middle from nearly 30 yards out. After Neidig’s 2-point run, the Bombers led 29-22. That is, until, misfortune struck a few ticks later. BOYS’ SOCCER
Saints Punch Tourney Card St. Mary 3, Putnam 2 Kieran O’Donnell converted a penalty kick, Joey Collins scored off a pass from Joey Collins, and Zac Girard notched the game-winner on a free kick with four minutes left to send St. Mary to the tournament Friday.

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers
HOT TOPICS: 3 ISSUES GENERATING A BUZZ
SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves
Getty Images/ROBERT LABERGE
This was not the face Brad Keselowski saw Saturday night. Was that really Matt Kenseth in the Dollar General fire suit? GODSPEAK: It was interesting watching the Indistinguishable Sulk transform into the Incredible Hulk. KEN’S CALL: Either Mild Matt was possessed, or Brad Keselowski can light a fire.
Which of the current three bottom feeders can save his season at Talladega?
GODSPEAK: Dale Earnhardt Jr. said he’ll win. Give him his Babe Ruth moment. KEN’S CALL: Not Keselowski, who’ll be hurting for a running mate; I’m thinking Jimmie is the best bet.

FEEDBACK
Mad Matt
NASCAR wanted the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship to be exciting, but it got a burst of full-bodied, raw emotion from competitors in Saturday’s race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Specifically, Brad Keselowski made sheet-metal contact with at least three other cars as his No. 2 Team Penske Ford ran amok after the checkered flag was displayed. The top storyline should have been Kevin Harvick’s victory, which automatically pushed him into the next round of the Chase. Instead, he became a footnote to Keselowski’s antics on the cool-down lap, plus the bumping and banging Keselowski created on pit road after the 500-mile race. “Kez” put dents into the cars of Denny Hamlin, Matt Kenseth and Tony Stewart — Stewart retaliated by throwing his No. 14 Chevy into reverse and smashing the nose of the angry driver behind him. Once in the garage area, Hamlin was restrained from attacking Keselowski. But no one — no one — saw Kenseth, your typical Bruce Banner sort of driver, transforming into the Incredible Hulk and physically lunging on top of Keselowski. Kenseth, always known for his mild manner and composure, tossed all that decorum out the driver’s-side window and pounced on Keselowski in a fit of rage after Keselowski was interviewed by ABC while standing in a narrow lane between two haulers. Kenseth was upset because he had removed all his safety gear after he got his No. 20 Toyota to pit road, then was slammed by Keselowski’s battered machine. “If he wants to come and talk about it like a man, then go do that, but to try to wreck somebody on the race track and to come down pit road with other cars
Associated Press/MIKE MCCARN
and people standing around, with my seat belts off, and drive into the side of me is just inexcusable,” Kenseth said. “There is no excuse for that. He’s a champion, and he’s supposed to know better than that.” Hamlin used language that can’t be printed here, but made a Talladega prediction. “My guess is that he (Keselowski) will probably try to wreck everyone; that’s his only shot,” he said. “He’ll just be out of control like normal.”
FOUR MUST GO Scary Talladega Superspeedway will decide the playoff hopes of all Chase drivers except Harvick and Joey Logano, whose victories the past two weeks sent them into the next round. Kasey Kahne currently is in eighth place and on the bubble. The four drivers below him are Matt Kenseth, Brad Keselowski, Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr. All know the only sure way to the Eliminator Round is a victory. Asked about his ’Dega game plan, Earnhardt said: “Go out there and win it. We can do it; we have won there a lot of times.”
HARVICK SAYS When Kevin Harvick got to Charlotte’s Victory Lane, it was more relief than joy. “This was the night that we needed to win,” he said. “I don’t want to go to Talladega next week.”

We finally learned what it takes for “Mild Matt” to shed the calm demeanor and storm into a dark alley.
Kez might want to wear that helmet 24/7 for a while. Has Brad Keselowski become the new menace? It’s definitely a question worth asking. When is the last time a driver left a track with three opposing drivers ready to have him tarred and feathered due to three separate incidents? OK, but when is the last time that happened to a driver NOT named Busch? Kez even managed to break Tony Stewart out of his doldrums. Throwing it in reverse to slam a guy behind you is pure Demolition Derby. Tony’s back.
Great time for Talladega, right? Funny how it often works out this way. Common sense tells you that Talladega is a scary place to attempt payback on Mr. Keselowski, if you’re one of the three aggrieved racers from Charlotte. And that’s why it’s unlikely, unless the rare but perfect opportunity presents itself. Problem is, at Talladega and sister track Daytona, if you take out one car, you’ll likely take out 20.
Is this really what NASCAR wanted? When NASCAR landed on this new Chase formula, it had to know (we assume) they could lose a swath of marquee stars in one swipe. Jimmie, Junior and Kez are all but done, with Kasey and Mild Matt tenuous. It all changes with a victory, however, and THAT’S the sort of thing NASCAR definitely had in mind when this was designed.

Matt Kenseth vs. Brad Keselowski: A lot of candidates, but when Kenseth physically jumped on Keselowski in the garage, they took top honors. Godwin Kelly gives his take: “Kez has set himself up for failure at Talladega. He has at least three drivers gunning for him after his post-race, pinballing antics.”

CHARLOTTE REWIND
Junior talks about phantom vibrations and must-win situation Dale Earnhardt Jr. was hoping to deposit a victory in Saturday night’s Bank of America 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway and advance to the next round of NASCAR’s elimination playoffs. Instead, the Daytona 500 champion was forced to fight through a night of adversity with his No. 88 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet. He finished 20th. Now dead last (tied for 11th) in the Chase standings, Earnhardt likely needs a victory at Talladega Superspeedway to advance to the next elimination round. Hendrick’s drivers have struggled in the first five Chase races. Jimmie Johnson also is
ranked 11th and Kasey Kahne is on the Chase bubble in eighth place. Earnhardt talked to the media after the Charlotte race about his problems and outlook for Talladega. What happened during the race? “The vibration broke the shifter in half, and it just wasn’t a good night. The car just wasn’t handling well, and the vibration was really giving us a lot of problems. We had it in practice, but we still couldn’t fix it. So, I don’t know. “We only had third and fourth gear and lost a lap trying to get off pit road on a green-flag stop.
“We had a pretty good car; a top-10 car. The vibration issue was causing a lot of balance issues, and grip issues. But we had a good-enough car to run in the top 10. This isn’t what we need to do. “I don’t know. We’ve had some phantom vibrations throughout the year and not really had those until the last year and a half, or two years. So it is hard to say.” What’s Talladega mean now? “Go out there and win it. We can do it; we have won there a lot of times. I know what we need to do. We will just have to build a fast car and hope
that we don’t have any gremlins and try to go out there and win it. “We had a lot of gremlins tonight. We had a good car in practice, and we never could get a chance to show it. The vibration just tore the car all apart. Broke the shifter and made the car handle real bad. “We did have a pretty good car all weekend; we were running OK there in the race. I think we could have easily finished in the top 10. The shifter slam broke in half. I mean it is steel, it shouldn’t be breaking, but the vibration was that bad.”

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Web-negative Patriarch Dear Annie: I beg you to tell adult children not to massage their curiosity and egos by milking the accursed Internet to chase down the other end of their parents’ ancient love affairs. I recently got a 75-year-old memory bomb -- a phone call from the daughter of an old flame from the 1930s. I had no idea there was a child from this romance. Bemused, I responded with an allegory and signed off “Sayonara.” Now, however, hauling up ancient days and a forgotten lifetime into today’s sunshine is causing strange, unpleasant feelings in my psyche and even day-to-day ordinary activities, like a deranged sleep pattern. It has disturbed my aged tranquil life with family and a very few old friends. I wish profoundly that it had not happened. Even my happy hour snort is losing its woof. -- Web-Negative Patriarch Dear Patriarch: We understand how it has disturbed your routine, but this woman must have searched a long time to find you, and her routine was likely disturbed for years. While we don’t think people should seek out biological family in order to upset others, demand compensation or expect a relationship, she may simply have wanted medical information for her children, which is a perfectly valid reason. And it sounds as if your charming sense of humor hasn’t been damaged at all. Dear Annie: May I make a suggestion regarding invitations? Please don’t extend an invitation once by saying, “You’re always welcome at our house for Thanksgiving” and then never repeat it any other year. My sister used to complain because my brother never came for Thanksgiving. He told me he was waiting for an invitation. She said everyone in the family knows that they are always welcome. But not everyone feels comfortable with that. And please don’t assume that we will remember that you extended this invitation 20 years ago. It’s worth the time to remind us once in a while. My sister missed a lot of opportunities for visits with her siblings. She can’t do anything about it now because her lifelong smoking habit led to her death a month before she would have turned 60. -- J. Dear J.: Our condolences. We know your sister meant well, and your brother seems to be more formal about these things than she realized. Many family members have open invitations and use them. (And some have no invitations at all, but still pop in for holiday meals.) It all boils down to effective communication. If you want someone to know they are always welcome, you have to make sure they understand and believe you. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Joan in California,” who said her overnight guests were gluten intolerant and didn’t tell her until after they arrived. I, too, have celiac disease and can’t have gluten. When I was first diagnosed, I didn’t feel comfortable accepting invitations for meals. Now I say, “I would love to come, but before I accept, I need to let you know that I am gluten sensitive.” The menu can be discussed, and you can offer to bring something. Any overnight guest should be expected to provide the essentials needed for a couple of days. What “Joan” should have said to her guest was, “I wish I had known this ahead of time. Unfortunately, I didn’t plan the menu to accommodate you. We can discuss my plans over the next couple of days, and tomorrow I will take you to the store so you can pick up what you need.” The guest was inconsiderate for not letting the host know ahead of time. -- Someone Who Is Considerate Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
HINTS FROM HELOISE Dryer Lint Is for the Birds? Dear Heloise: I keep a cardboard oatmeal can near my dryer. When I remove the LINT FROM THE DRYER, I place it in the can. When the birds return in the spring, I place some of it in small, empty tuna cans, and put them around the yard or in a tree, where the birds can get it for their nests. -- R.E. in Nebraska Backyard birds are our friends, and they are just lovely to watch! However, this old and very common hint is no longer safe. All bird experts tell us NOTto use dryer lint. Dryer lint is made of fibers (many man-made) from material, and may have detergent or softener residue, which is not good for our feathered friends. If you want to help birds out, set out natural materials, such as human or animal hair, twigs, moss and leaves. Now I have a good use for Chammy’s (our silken wheaten terrier) and my hair that collects in our brushes. -- Heloise P.S.: Next is a brilliant bird hint. I’m watching my hummingbirds right now! HUMMINGBIRD HANGOUT Dear Heloise: I have noticed that hummingbirds like to sit and watch over their food supply. I made a hummingbird swing of my own with a metal clothes hanger. I bent the middle of the clothes hanger upward, toward the hook on top, to make two loops, and hung it over the feeder. They love it! -- Shirley Davis, Lisbon, Ohio

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You are likely to tell it as it is, but be careful -- a child easily could claim to have his or her feelings hurt. You might note a distance or coolness from friends you don’t see often. Give into impulsiveness, and it probably will benefit you. Tonight: Let your hair down. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Make it OK to take it slow today. When the right invitation heads your way, you won’t want to say “no.” You recognize the importance of the people in your day-to-day life. Tonight: Be spontaneous, yet remain respectful of someone else’s feelings. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You often don’t know when or how to censor yourself. Whether it is regarding someone’s reaction or simply your awareness, you’ll opt to be in a less dominant position in a conversation. You know others will ask you what you think. Tonight: Happiest at home. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Be aware of an active need to splurge. Today you’ll want to take a gander at the budget and the bills before you bounce out the door. Your creativity emerges when trying to maximize your funds and tame your spending. You can do it! Tonight: Let someone else treat. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You’ll smile from ear to ear at the thought of having even a lazy few hours. You could be surprised by what someone at a distance shares with you. Without pushing for it, you are likely to get the confirmation you were hoping to receive. Tonight: Out and about. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You’ll want to rethink a decision that surrounds a personal matter. You won’t want to discuss it, as you might not feel comfortable with everything you hear. Honor what you want, and you will see everything fall into place. Tonight: On a roll. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Make the most of the daylight hours, when everyone seems more friendly and outgoing. Pressure could build at home until you deal with a family issue; be willing to state how you feel about someone else’s attitude. Tonight: Where you want to be. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Zero in on what is important to you. Your nerves could be making you feel much more irritated by someone’s intrusive call than you usually would be. Take some time to think through your reactions; you might choose to respond differently. Tonight: Where the crowds are. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to rethink a personal matter that could affect you in the long run. Everyone has opinions, and you are likely to hear them whether you want to or not. Make good choices, and don’t feel like you have to explain anything. Tonight: Find your friends. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could spend a good part of the day dealing with someone who has very strong opinions. You will never see eye to eye, but you might want to respect each other’s positions. An older friend could dominate the scene. Tonight: Be willing to take off at the drop of a hat. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You could be a lot tenser than you realize. The answers might not appear as easily as you would like them to. Let others express their thoughts. You have explained yours already, but it seems as though they were not heard. Tonight: Spend some quality time with a special friend. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You’ll want to defer to someone else, but you still might need to take

THE WESTFIELD NEWS
Patriots take weekend off after 3 wins in 12 days By HOWARD ULMAN AP Sports Writer FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Julian Edelman may spend Sunday afternoon nibbling appetizers and watching NFL games. Chris Jones plans to see some college football on Saturday. After a busy 12 days in which they won three games, the New England Patriots deserve a break. So let them chow down while watching other players knock each other around. “Obviously, you’re going to feel a little tired,” Jones said Friday, “but we have a break now to get our bodies back. We need that.” The defensive tackle made sure the Patriots (5-2) went into their free weekend on a roll when he blocked Nick Folk’s 58-yard field goal attempt on the last play of their 27-25 win over the New York Jets on Thursday night. That was just the latest accomplishment in an impressive turnaround after a 41-14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The AFC East leaders followed that by beating the Cincinnati Bengals 43-17 and Buffalo Bills 37-22 before Thursday’s squeaker. Those four games were played in a span of only 18 days, including three of at night and two on the road. That, Edelman said, “was a tough stretch.” So he plans to keep his weekend simple. “Just stick around and chill,” the Patriots leading receiver said, “keep it low, really rest and
have some time to just kind of let your body heal. See what happens, maybe be a regular person and eat some wings and watch some football.” Players won’t entirely neglect their jobs. Some plan to watch film of the Chicago Bears, the Patriots’ next opponent on Oct. 26. And that’s fine with coach Bill Belichick, although he sees the value in getting away from the everyday mental and physical grind. “There’s something to be said for a cleansing of the mind,” he said. “We’ve been at it here pretty hard since the end of July. It’s been virtually every day. So, that’s all of August, all of September and we’re halfway through October. “I’d say there probably wasn’t much more than any 24-hour period there where there hasn’t been, I’d say, quite a bit of substantial, hopefully anyway, substantial thought, preparation, treatment, whatever you want to call it, different aspects of preparation, physical conditioning, mental film study and preparation that hasn’t gone into each and every guy over that period of time,” he said. “I think there’s definitely something to be said for taking a couple days and trying to let the system decompress.” The break between games will give coaches extra time to figure out why the defense allowed the Jets to rush for 218 yards and why the offense gained just 63 on the ground and held the ball for half as long as the Jets.
“We were fortunate to get the win, but there’s a lot of things we’ve got to work on,” Jones said. “You can’t feel too good, especially when you play like that. So we can’t let our confidence get too high.” The Patriots played without linebacker and leading tackler Jerod Mayo, who suffered a season-ending right knee injury last Sunday. But Jones said the problems with the run defense go beyond his absence. “It’s never just one thing. It’s never just one guy,” Jones said. “It’s a team effort as far as the defense. We need to work on it and we’re going to get it fixed.” The running game missed Stevan Ridley, whose season also ended when he hurt his right knee against the Bills. Without him, Shane Vereen led the Patriots with 43 yards rushing but
also caught two of Tom Brady’s three touchdown passes. Now the Patriots must prepare for an unfamiliar opponent. They last played the Bears in 2010 and won 36-7 in Chicago. “We don’t really know them that well,” Edelman said. “It’s not like we’re watching them. You’re so focused on what your schedule is and what you’re doing that week that you don’t really know these guys.” Some players plan to watch the Bears play the Miami Dolphins this weekend. But full preparation can wait a few days. “Somewhere along the line I think we need to back off and try to find some space to get it out of our system for a couple days,” Belichick said, “and then come back and hit it hard again.”
