Highland Sanctuary renamed as Barbara Swords Park

VOL. 86 NO. 151

By Amy Porter Correspondent WESTFIELD – A public hearing was held at the City Properties committee on Thursday on a motion by Mary O’Connell to rename Highland Sanctuary in honor of Barbara Swords, who served for 22 years on the Westfield City Council.

At the meeting, O’Connell deferred to Community Development Director Peter J. Miller to make the request, which he did by reading from a letter he wrote in support of the motion.

‘Senior Stroll’ added to Run Stanley fundraiser

By Lori Szepelak Correspondent WESTFIELD-Three women who “walk the walk” have been the catalyst for expanding the annual Run Stanley fundraiser at Stanley Park.

“They are my inspiration,” said Tina Gorman, executive director of the Westfield Council on Aging, singling out Barbara Martone, Barbara Coleman, and Irene Lansing, who all will be participating in Run Stanley this fall.

The Run Stanley 5K Run/Walk, Munchkin Run & Senior Stroll, slated Oct. 14 at 10 a.m., raises funds to benefit the care and upkeep of the Frank Stanley Beveridge Wildlife Sanctuary at the park, according to chairperson Vanessa Diana.

“Run Stanley is a fundraiser to support the wildlife sanctuary and a chance for the community to thank Stanley Park for all the enjoyment we gain from its beauty,” said Diana. “A few years back we added the Munchkin Run for See Senior Stroll, Page 3

Ribbon cutting on Tuesday to highlight new boat ramp

By Greg Fitzpatrick Correspondent SOUTHWICK – The Massachusetts Department of Fish and Game and Office of Fishing and Boating will be holding a ribbon cutting ceremony on Tuesday at 3 p.m. at the South boat ramp on Congamond Lake at 8 Berkshire Ave. The ceremony will focus on the re-construction of the South ramp.

At a cost of more than $300,000, the Office of Fishing and Boating funded the project that began in April and was contracted by BTT Marine Construction from Boston. The work consisted of replacing the South boat ramp along with installing sheeting around the ramp and building a truss wall. The new ramp also includes a floating dock for people to access with their boats and vehicles and is also handicap accessible. The new South ramp finished See Boat Ramp, Page 3

Family and friends remember Kevin Sullivan

75 cen

By Amy Porter Correspondent WESTFIELD – The Westfield News would like to offer our sincerest sympathies to the Sullivan family on the unexpected loss of Kevin J. Sullivan on Sunday, Sept. 16. Kevin Sullivan was a respected area attorney and was serving his third term on the School Committee, currently as vice-chair. More important than that, he was a beloved father, husband, son and brother, a good friend, and a passionate advocate for the City of Westfield and the Westfield Public Schools. We thought the best way to honor him would be through the words of his family, friends and colleagues who consistently described him as “one of the good guys.”

Mayor Brian P. Sullivan “I didn’t just lose a brother, I lost my best friend. He’s going to be sorely missed, apparently not just by my family, but by the whole community. It’s been non-stop texts and emails.

“He’s one of the good guys. It’s been overwhelming to the whole family all those who’ve reached out, whose lives he touched – seniors, people my age, people he’s coached over the years.

“You don’t see something like this coming.

It’s a shock, unbelievable – it’s just not fair.

“Thank you to everyone in the community who has reached out and given their thoughts and prayers. It makes us know that everyone knew what a good guy he was. It means a lot to my parents, his wife and kids, and to all the rest of us.”

Barry “Bo” Sullivan “Kevin was the best, and I’m going to miss him. He was a great friend, brother, father; friends with everybody in town. The School Committee meant everything to him, just being involved in the community in that way (was a highlight for him). Westfield was everything to him.

“But, I’m going to miss golfing, playing cards, watching the Red Sox and Patriots on TV with him. It’s going to be hard, but Kevin would want us to go on. He was one of the best, and we’re all going to miss him.”

City Council President John J. Beltrandi, III “You would be hard-pressed to find a better person. He was level-headed, very easy to See Kevin Sullivan, Page 3

Families sought for Book Buddies Program

By Lori Szepelak Correspondent WESTFIELD-Reading together is a family affair for the Wyman family, and participating in the Book Buddies Program is a “fabulous” addition to that experience.

Families invited to make a scarecrow

By Lori Szepelak Correspondent WESTFIELD-Growing up in Maine, Pastor Merle Beal appreciated autumn – and especially enjoyed a fall tradition – making scarecrows from the fallen leaves.

Beal and members of the Community Church of Westfield will open its doors at 170 Elm St. on Sept. 28 to host a build-a-scarecrow workshop from 6 to 8:30 p.m. which is open to the public.

“Making scarecrows from scratch is a lost art,” said Beal, adding that the free event is an ideal project for families.

Beal said the goal is to make more than 10 scarecrows during the workshop, and all will be displayed within businesses in the downtown area.

“It will also be fun for those making the scarecrows to find them on a sort of scavenger hunt when they visit the downtown,” said Beal.

Currently, Beal is hopeful that area residents may be willing to donate an old shirt, a pair of pants, or hat to the cause. The clothing for the scarecrows can be for all ages, and in all sizes, and hats can range from cowboy or straw to winter

and baseball caps.

“We are especially in need of the grocery plastic bags that we will use when stuffing the scarecrows with burlap,” he said, noting that rubber bands and cardboard will also be welcomed.

Beal will provide the pumpkin heads, hot glue and glue guns, and burlap for the participants.

Beal, whose congregation was originally at the Advent Christian Church on Central Street, said with the new location during the past year, more people are noticing the storefront location.

“With our new location we have changed our focus,” said Beal. “We’re trying to get more involved in community events and look forward to this event supporting the upcoming Westfield PumpkinFest event.”

Westfield PumpkinFest, produced by Westfield on Weekends, is planned Oct. 13 from noon to 6 p.m. on and around Park Square.

Family events throughout the afternoon will include decorating pumpkins, enjoying a variety of entertainers, an arts and crafts market, a Haunted Westfield presentation by the Agawam Paranormal Society, a Scarecrow Trail, and open house at the fire station.

Walk into my parlor: Greek spiders spin giant web over shore ATHENS, Greece (AP) — It’s not quite the World Wide Web — but the spiders of Aitoliko in Greece have made a good start.

Spurred into overdrive by an explosion in the populations of insects they eat, thousands of little spiders in the western Greek town have shrouded coastal trees, bushes

and low vegetation in thick webs.

The sticky white lines extend for a few hundred meters (yards) along the shoreline of Aitoliko, built on an artificial island in a salt lagoon near Missolonghi, 250 kilometers (150 miles) west of Athens.

Experts told local media

that the numbers of lake flies, a non-biting midge, have rocketed amid humid late summer conditions. Spiders, which fancy the flies, reproduced fast to take full advantage of the feast.

Residents say the extensive spider webs have another benefit: keeping down mosquitoes.

O

n Sept. 22, 1949, the Soviet Union exploded its first atomic bomb.

On this date:

In 1776, during the Revolutionary War, Capt. Nathan Hale, 21, was hanged as a spy by the British in New York.

In 1792, the French First Republic was proclaimed.

In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, declaring all slaves in rebel states should be free as of January 1, 1863.

In 1911, pitcher Cy Young, 44, gained his 511th and final career victory as he hurled a 1-0 shutout for the Boston Rustlers against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Forbes Field.

In 1927, Gene Tunney successfully defended his heavyweight boxing title against Jack Dempsey in the famous “long-count” fight in Chicago.

In 1950, Omar N. Bradley was promoted to the rank of five-star general, joining an elite group that included Dwight D. Eisenhower, Douglas MacArthur, George C. Marshall and Henry H. “Hap” Arnold.

In 1959, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev arrived in Iowa for a two-day stopover, during which he visited a corn farm, held talks with former Illinois Gov. Adlai Stevenson, and ate his first hot dog.

In 1961, the Interstate Commerce Commission issued rules prohibiting racial discrimination on interstate buses.

In 1975, Sara Jane Moore attempted to shoot President Gerald R. Ford outside a San Francisco hotel, but missed. (Moore served 32 years in prison before being paroled on December 31, 2007.)

In 1980, the Persian Gulf conflict between Iran and Iraq erupted into full-scale war.

In 1985, rock and country music artists participated in “FarmAid,” a concert staged in Champaign, Illinois, to help the nation’s farmers.

In 1993, 47 people were killed when an Amtrak passenger train fell off a bridge and crashed into Big Bayou Canot near Mobile, Alabama. (A tugboat pilot lost in fog pushed a barge into the railroad bridge, knocking the tracks 38 inches out of line just minutes before the train arrived.)

Ten years ago: Jury selection began in Washington for the federal corruption trial of Republican Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska.

(Jurors later found that Stevens had lied on Senate financial disclosure forms to conceal hundreds of thousands of dollars in gifts and home renovations from a wealthy oil contractor, but the Justice Department later moved to dismiss the indictment because prosecutors had mishandled the case; Stevens lost his re-election bid.) Marjorie Knoller, whose dogs viciously attacked and killed her neighbor, Dianne Whipple, in their San Francisco apartment building in 2001, was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison after her second-degree murder conviction was reinstated.

Five years ago: President Barack Obama spoke at a memorial service for the 12 men and women killed in the Washington Navy Yard shooting, calling on Americans to raise their voices against gun violence. A pair of Sunni militant suicide bombers blew themselves up inside a church in Peshawar, Pakistan, killing 85 Christian worshippers. German Chancellor Angela Merkel led her conservatives to a stunning election victory. “Breaking Bad” won best drama series while “Modern Family” was recognized as best comedy series at the 65th annual Primetime Emmy Awards.

The federal government told election officials in 21 states that hackers had targeted their systems before the 2016 presidential election. Sen.

young children and then the K9 division for the 5K, allowing humans to run with their dogs. This year we’re adding the Senior Stroll, which was an idea that Tina Gorman suggested, so that older family members can join in the fun.”

On a recent weekday morning at the Westfield Senior Center, the three women shared their enthusiasm for walking in Run Stanley, now in its sixth year, with the hope it will inspire other seniors to participate.

“I enjoy walking with friends for the exercise,” said Martone, who volunteers in the senior center kitchen. “I’m also happy to support Run Stanley because it is for a good cause.”

Coleman echoed those sentiments.

“I walk daily, weather permitting,” said Coleman, who also volunteers at the senior center, from helping the kitchen staff and working the distribution line for the monthly Brown Bag Program, to distributing the Council on Aging’s monthly newsletter to key locations in the downtown area. “I force myself to keep walking for my health. We hope more people will turn out to walk because walking is good for everybody.”

Lansing concurred.

“I walk to keep my weight under control,” said Lansing, adding her guide dog Yoshi also needs to stay in shape. “I am happy to participate with Yoshi at Run Stanley because it is important to support Stanley Park.”

Tina Gorman and her husband Gary recently spent a few hours at Stanley Park, marking a trail that the seniors will follow.

“Because the terrain of the sanctuary trails is uneven and hilly, we added the Senior Stroll route to offer a flat, mostly paved option that’s more accessible,” said Diana. “We’re very excited about Senior Strollers participating; I’ve received messages from adult participants who are signing up with their older parents and their children.”

Stanley Park representatives and the Run Stanley Race Committee, with the help and support from many volunteers from Westfield State University, will be hosting the event which includes the 5K run/walk, a Munchkin Run hosted by Dunkin’ Donuts, the 5K K9 trail run and walk, and the 1-mile Senior Stroll.

“Stanley Park is a place where families gather across the generations to make memories,” said Diana. “Because

The previous ramp was roughly 50-years-old and had a number of issues. According to Town of Southwick DPW Assistant Dick Grannells, the ramp was flat concrete, but because the ramp was so short, things would wash onto the ramp and cause it to be slippery. It also became difficult for people to back up their boats or vehicles near the ramp since it was so short.

“People just didn’t want to use it,” said Grannells.

Obama turns focus on Pennsylvania, hopes to boost Dems PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Barack Obama turned his political attention Friday to Pennsylvania — a state Donald Trump won in 2016.

The former president campaigned in Philadelphia with two leading Democrats running for re-election, Gov. Tom Wolf and U.S. Sen. Bob Casey.

At a campaign rally at the Dell Music Center in Philadelphia, Obama implored Pennsylvanians to vote in November because the election was more consequential than any he could remember.

“This time, it really is different. This time, the stakes really are higher,” Obama said. “The consequences of any of us sitting on the sidelines are far more dangerous.”

During the speech Obama made no mention of his successor in the White House by name, but urged voters of all parties — not just Democrats — to vote to restore honesty, decency and lawfulness to government.

In the Nov. 6 contests, Democrats are trying to oust Republicans in four U.S. House districts and more than a dozen state legislative seats in the Philadelphia area alone. Obama twice carried Pennsylvania in his presidential races, and Democrats hope the state can help them retake control of Congress from the GOP. Casey’s Republican opponent, Rep. Lou Barletta, told The Associated Press that Obama’s visit will stir up GOP voters in an election year when their party faces an uphill battle to retain its Capitol Hill majorities. Obama will “energize those blue-collar Democrats who worried about their jobs under Obama and went out to vote for Donald Trump,” Barletta said.

“On President Obama’s watch, we had our slowest economic recovery since World War II and Democrats lost more than 1,000 seats,” said Michael Ahrens, a spokesman for the Republican National Committee. “If he wants to help energize Republicans this election too, we’re happy to have him.”

Democrats in other states where Obama has campaigned recently say his stops have drawn big crowds, giving the party a chance to organize, update voter contact lists, motivate new donors and boost volunteerism. Obama planned a fundraiser after the Philadelphia rally.

Obama’s trip is the latest in a string of appearances before the midterm elections. While his full schedule is taking shape, aides said he is considering how best to help candidates throughout the country.

Obama has endorsed more than 80 Democrats in more than a dozen states. A second round of endorsements is expected this fall.

As he considers 2020, Biden airs regrets of Thomas hearings Weighing a 2020 campaign for president, former Vice President Joe Biden says he should have protected Anita Hill from what he called “character assassination” during the Supreme Court confirmation hearings of Justice Clarence Thomas more than a quarter century ago.

Biden chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee during the contentious 1991 hearings. As sexual misconduct again shadows a high court confirmation, Biden said he failed to prevent the allmale committee from putting Hill on the defensive.

“Anita Hill was vilified when she came forward, by a lot of my colleagues,” Biden said during an interview on NBC’s Today. “I wish I could have done more to prevent those questions and the way they asked them.”

Biden was reflecting on his lead role in a seminal moment in the nation’s debate over sexual harassment, long before the explosion of the #MeToo movement and the return of allegations of sexual impropriety in a Supreme Court confirmation.

Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh is accused of sexually assaulting Christine Blasey Ford, now a university professor in California, when they were in high school more than 30 years ago. Kavanaugh has denied the allegation, which has rekindled questions of Biden’s leadership of the Judiciary Committee as he considers another presidential run.

With his wife Jill at his side, Biden struck a contrite tone during the NBC interview, arguing the experience prompted him to invite women senators to join the Judiciary Committee and for him to author the 1994 Violence Against Women Act. But he mainly expressed powerlessness to stop his male committee colleagues from being insensitive. During Hill’s testimony to the committee, some members suggested she was exaggerating and that the lack of allegations of any physical contact by Thomas was defensible.

“My biggest regret was I didn’t know how I could shut you off, as you were a senator, and you were attacking Anita Hill’s character,” Biden said. “Under the Senate rules, I can’t gavel you down and say you can’t ask that question, although I tried. And so what happened was she got victimized again during the process.”

And though Biden said “I think I got it in ’91,” he memorably asked Hill flatly during the hearing to describe “what was the most embarrassing of all the incidences that you have alleged?”

Friday, Biden said “it takes enormous courage for a woman to come forward in the bright lights of millions of people watching and relive something that happened to her.”

Biden, twice a candidate for president before two terms as vice president under Barack Obama, says he would run in 2020 if no other candidate steps forward who he believes can beat President See Biden 2020, Page 5

AP: Rosenstein spoke of possible secret Trump taping WASHINGTON (AP) — Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein discussed secretly recording President Donald Trump last year amid law enforcement concerns about chaos in the White House, according to people familiar with exchanges at the time. But one person who was present said Rosenstein was just being sarcastic.

Rosenstein’s comments were first reported by The New York Times, which also said that he raised the idea of using the 25th Amendment to remove Trump as unfit for office.

The reports create even greater uncertainty for Rosenstein in his position at a time when Trump has lambasted Justice Department leadership and publicly humiliated both him and A8torney General Jeff Sessions.

More broadly, it’s the latest revelation that could affect Robert Mueller, the special counsel investigating possible coordination between Russia and Trump’s presidential campaign in 2016. Sessions recused himself from that issue soon after he took office, to Trump’s dismay, and Rosenstein then appointed Mueller. With all that hanging in the air, Trump has resisted calls from conservative commentators to fire both Sessions and Rosenstein and appoint someone who would ride herd more closely on Mueller or dismiss him.

The reported conversation about possibly secretly recording the president took place at a tense May 2017 meeting during the tumultuous period that followed Trump’s firing of FBI Director James Comey, a decision that upset many rank-andfile bureau agents and that the White House said was based on the Justice Department’s recommendation.

Among the participants at the meeting was Andrew McCabe, the FBI official who was temporarily elevated to director after Comey’s firing and who documented conversations with senior officials, including Rosenstein, in memos that have been provided to special counsel Mueller as part of his TrumpRussia investigation.

The interactions lay bare the conflicts within the FBI and Justice Department early in the Trump administration after Rosenstein, just weeks into his job, wrote a memo critical of Comey’s handling of the Hillary Clinton email server investigation that the White House used as justification for firing the FBI director.

Friday’s news reports threatened to cloud Rosenstein’s fate at the Justice Department, with some conservatives calling for him to be fired immediately. Any dismissal could affect Mueller’s Russia probe given that Rosenstein still oversees Mueller’s work.

Trump, for his part, ignored questions shouted from reporters as he arrived for an evening rally in Springfield, Missouri.

The White House did not respond to questions about Rosenstein’s reported remarks.

It was difficult amid the conflicting accounts to discern the precise context for his comments and how they were intended.

The Justice Department, for instance, released an email from one attendee who said Rosenstein’s “statement was sarcastic and was never discussed with any intention of recording a conversation with the president.”

Rosenstein himself called the Times story “inaccurate and factually incorrect.”

“I will not further comment on a story based on anonymous sources who are obviously biased against the department and are advancing their own personal agenda. But let me be clear about this: Based on my personal dealings with the president, there is no basis to invoke the 25th Amendment.”

One of the people briefed on the conversation in question, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the confidential nature of the interaction, said it occurred during a moment of frustration between McCabe and Rosenstein.

Rosenstein was rankled by the revelation that Comey had kept memos about his interactions with the president; McCabe wanted a more aggressive approach toward the White House, the person said.

At that point, Rosenstein said to McCabe something to the effect of, “What do you want, you want me to wear a wire?” according to the person. Rosenstein was then asked in the meeting if he was serious, and he said yes, but he did not mean for the wire comment to be taken seriously as a tactic to investigate the president, the person said.

The person also said that a memo from McCabe describes Rosenstein as referencing the 25th Amendment to the Constitution, which spells out that a president can be declared “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office” upon a majority vote of the vice president and the Cabinet.

But the person said notes from other attendees at the meet-

ing, including former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, do not mention the 25th Amendment.

McCabe’s lawyer, Michael Bromwich, said in a statement that his client had drafted memos to “memorialize significant discussions he had with high level officials and preserved them so he would have an accurate, contemporaneous record of those discussions.” The statement did not address the content of the memos.

Rosenstein has been a target of Trump’s ire since appointing Mueller as a Justice Department special counsel to investigate potential coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign during the 2016 presidential election.

He chose Mueller for the job one week after he laid the groundwork for the firing of Comey by writing a memo that criticized Comey’s handling of the FBI’s investigation of Clinton’s email server. The White House initially held up that memo as justification for Comey’s firing, though Trump himself has said he was thinking about “this Russia thing” when he made the move.

As deputy attorney general, Rosenstein oversees Mueller’s work and has made two public announcements of indictments brought by the special counsel — one against Russians accused of hacking into Democratic email accounts, the other against Russians accused of running a social media troll farm to sway public opinion.

On Friday, Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump, Jr., tweeted the Times story and said: “Shocked!!! Absolutely Shocked!!!

Ohhh, who are we kidding at this point? No one is shocked that these guys would do anything in their power to undermine @realdonaldtrump.”

The story also elicited a quick response from members of Congress.

Rep. Mark Meadows, a North Carolina Republican who chairs the conservative Freedom Caucus, said in a tweet that “if this story is true, it underscores a gravely troubling culture at FBI/DOJ and the need for FULL transparency.”

Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said the Times story “must not be used as a pretext for the corrupt purpose of firing Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein in order install an official who will allow the president to interfere with the special counsel’s investigation.”

damaged the register and drawer with a crow bar, but didn’t get away with any cash.

A surveillance camera captured the suspect in the act and Krutka strongly believes the individual has been in the building before or has been a customer due to having no hesitation and heading straight to the register.

Wearing a mask and gloves to make it difficult to identify the suspect, the video does show the person wearing a flatbrimmed hat with a sticker under the bill and pants with rips in them.

“If anyone friends with this guy, they’re going to know his clothing,” said Krutka.

Krutka also believes that the male suspect acted alone in this incident. When looking at the surveillance video, it was determined that the individual ran across the back property of the restaurant and on a side street. That person got into a vehicle and took some time before taking off, but the license plate and make and model of the car were unable to be identified.

Steve Grimaldi, who’s a co-owner of The Summer House along with his brother Rick Grimaldi, said that this is the first time in the 38 year history of the business that the establishment has been broken into.

“I think we got off pretty lucky overall,” said Grimaldi.

“Now we know this kind of stuff can happen.”

Arriving at 5:15 a.m. on Thursday after being notified of the incident, Grimaldi noted that police officers were already on scene and the K-9 unit was also there to check for tracks of the suspect.

“I was really impressed with the Southwick Police Department,” said Grimaldi. “Their response was great.”

Grimaldi hopes that the photo that was captured on surveillance will help catch the individual involved.

“We’re just hoping for somebody to maybe see something,” said Grimaldi.

If anyone believes they know the person or has information, please contact the Southwick Police Department at 413569-5348.

Biden 2020 Continued from Page 4 Donald Trump, a Republican. Biden says he expects to decide whether to seek the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination by early next year.

Meanwhile, fellow Democratic presidential prospects such as California Sen. Kamala Harris and New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, sit on the Judiciary Committee today. They have already attracted attention for their roles on the committee during Kavanaugh’s previous hearings. They could again assert themselves as national leaders on this politically charged issue if Kavanaugh returns to the committee next week to testify about the allegation

Superintendent Stefan Czaporowski and Kevin Sullivan at a School Committee meeting in June.

Kevin Sullivan

deal with. He was also my attorney for real estate transactions.

He was extremely well respected (in the field).

“He did so much for the school, for the kids, for the teachers.

You can’t replace people like that. For the City Council, it’s a big deal. Kevin did so much on the school side of things.

‘There’s not a tighter knit family. This has been devastating.

Words cannot say. Kevin was a good, all-around guy. A guy like that is invaluable. You can’t replace him. I feel bad for the family and everyone else.”

Former Mayor Daniel Knapik “First I would like to extend from my family to the Sullivan Family our sincerest condolences. Growing up with Kevin since elementary school (he was a year older than I am) he was like an older brother to those that knew him especially if you played on a sports team with him. He was always the one to show you the way or help you out when you needed help. He was a great role model.

He was one of the kindest, most thoughtful persons I have ever known and of course those traits served him well into adulthood. I had the pleasure of serving 6 years with Kevin on the School Committee. He was our rock. He was passionate about WPS and worked to ensure that the schools provided the best opportunity for the city’s children. He was often the point person for the school committee when it had to tackle tough issues because he was able to bring people together to build consensus to reach an endpoint.

He was a quality person that put others before himself. He leaves a legacy of service and dedication to his family, his friends and his city. He will be missed tremendously by all of us who knew him.

A great son of Westfield, one of our city’s finest citizens, we remember all the good that Kevin brought to us during his life and we mourn with the Sullivan family.”

Ramon Diaz, Jr. “My heart and sincerest condolences go out to the Sullivan family. Kevin was a great colleague and friend. When difficult issues arose Kevin always found a way to frame a solution in a positive manner. As the veteran member of the school committee when I first came on board, he took the time to teach me the ropes. Kevin’s work on the committee went beyond the votes cast at the meetings.

He worked with numerous people in various city departments to prevent issues from escalating. More importantly, he was a good friend. Kevin always took the time to listen and respond in a humorous manner. He always made me laugh and understand that he cared. He made me feel that my opinion mattered even when we disagreed. Westfield is a better place because of him and I will miss him and his humor.”

Diane Mayhew “I would like to express my heartfelt condolences to Kevin’s family, as they try to cope and understand the loss of this great man. I was shocked and saddened by the news of Kevin’s tragic unexpected passing. I have known Kevin since we were in our 20’s, and have found him to have the same level of integrity throughout his life. I started working with Kevin 7 years ago when I decided to run for the School Committee. Kevin always knew he was a pivotal reason for me to run in the first place. I witnessed great things happening in our schools, and I wanted to be a part of it. To me, Kevin was the leader on our committee. He was the one I went to for advice or clarification on issues we were tackling within our school system. He kept our committee balanced, and the void I feel will never be able to be replaced. It is an immeasurable loss. The impact Kevin had on our schools, his colleagues, and his community was profound, and I will miss him greatly every day.”

Tim O’Connor.

“I feel fortunate to have known Kevin Sullivan since elementary school and it has been a real honor to have developed a great friendship with him over many years. He had a boundless compassion for the Westfield Public School system and was one of its greatest champions. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to serve with Kevin on the Westfield School Committee on a few different terms over the last several years. His law background, his finance background and his passion for student achievement made him a great fit for the School Committee. His presence elevated everyone around him and he rose to be the voice of reason for the entire School Committee. He was an advocate for the students, teachers and administration and treated everyone fairly and with great care. As good as he was as a School Committee member, he was better as a friend. I will miss him dearly.”

Cindy Sullivan “I can say without question Kevin’s absence has already been felt. I’m not sure how we move forward without his guidance, his caring spirit, and his knowledge of all things Westfield. Personally, Kevin was the “calm” in many of my “storms”. He had a way of explaining things that everyone could understand. He didn’t expect you to agree with him. He always made sure everyone spoke if they wanted to and often times in my case more than once. He loved his family and friends first and the schools came in a close second. His advocacy and hard work will become evident as the days, weeks, and months go on.

“As a committee we will fumble without him. I can only hope that what he has taught us all will shine through and guide us through the easy and most importantly the difficult decisions we make. He will never be replaced and his kindness, his leadership, his laugh, and his commitment to our students will be missed forever.”

Sanctuary

Continued from Page 1

I looked up to her because I knew she was someone who had her priorities straight. First and foremost, Barbara was true to herself. Nobody was going to convince her to support something that went against her own core beliefs. Second, she understood her primary responsibility was to represent the interests of Ward 4; and third, she was able to disagree in a way that got her point across without ever isolating herself,” Miller wrote.

“It is particularly appropriate to dedicate Highland Park in her honor. As the land is permanently protected, it represents her dedication to conservation. Second, its location, just a stone’s throw from the homestead where she and her husband Richard, another former Councilor, raised their six children, is a place that meant so much to her.

“Barbara lived her life to make Westfield a better place. I ask the Committee and the full City Council to recognize her extra-ordinary contributions to Westfield and Ward 4 by renaming this land as Barbara Swords Park.

“I worked with Barbara for a long time. She’s the model we all strive to emulate,” O’Connell said. She said Dick Sword was also a city councilor and when he died, Barbara took over his seat.

Miller said when they were going through the process, he looked through the history of the land, and learned that Barbara was a founding member of the Winding River Land Conservancy.

O’Connell said there is not another park in Westfield where there is another opportunity to name after a person, which she said was initially a concern of the Parks & Recreation Commission.

City Properties committee member Andrew K. Surprise asked whether there is any ordinance against it. Miller said it is spelled out in the charter, and one of the requirements is to have the ward councilor introduce the measure.

O’Connell said as the former Ward 4 Councilor she was able to introduce it, and also to fulfill the other requirement of at least 25 signatures of residents in support of the measure. She said the Parks & Recreation Commission voted unanimously in support of the renaming in May. Following the presentation, the City Properties committee also voted unanimously in support.

During the City Council meeting which followed, Onyski informed them that there had been a public hearing on the renaming. “I would like to thank Councilor O’Conner and Peter Miller for spearheading this,” he said, before reading Miller’s letter to the council.

“I was honored to serve with her. She was a fierce advocate, especially. for water resources. I’d love to have seen something more prominent in the city to honor her. It’s well overdue,” said At-large Councilor Brent B. Bean, II. “I think the letter from Peter said it all. She deserves this. I agree she deserves something more prominent,” said At-large Councilor Dave Flaherty.

“As a representative of Ward 1, we appreciate all the work and dedication that Barbara Swords gave to protect water resources,” said Councilor Mary Ann Babinski. She added that in 1998, Barbara Swords worked to get the area around Zone 2 protected. “I appreciated getting to know her before I became a councilor, and she was very gracious about coming to speak at some of our meetings. This is a long time coming,” Babinski added.

Surprise said that the family of Barbara Swords is happy with the location that was chosen, which is behind Highland Elementary School.

“One of the things that made it special is it was there by her house. They also didn’t want to change one already named after someone,” Onyski added.

“It gives me great pleasure to vote for this,” said Ward 4 Councilor Michael Burns. The City Council then voted unanimously to rename Highland Sanctuary as Barbara Swords Park.

Heather Sullivan “I would describe him as a true gentleman. He always had an attitude we could all learn from. When we had difference of opinions, everyone was still treated respectfully. He never said an unkind word. He was just a nice guy. He was that balance. We were lucky to have him.

“He was a gentleman. That’s the truest word of him.”

Superintendent Stefan Czaporowski “As a member of the school committee, Kevin always put students first. He was a valuable resource for all school matters. I will miss him as a colleague and a friend.”

Calling hours will be held Sunday, September 23, 2018 from 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm at Firtion Adams Funeral Home, Broad Street, Westfield, MA. A funeral mass will be held on Monday, September 24, 2018 at 10:30 a.m. at St. Mary’s Church, 30 Bartlett Street, Westfield, MA. Burial will follow in St. Mary’s Cemetery.

Book Buddies free services offered to families through a Westfield Community Partnerships for Children Coordinated Family and Community Engagement Grant. The Westfield CFCE is a family support and engagement grant administered by the Westfield Public Schools and funded by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care.

Paula Hebert-Pike is the grant coordinator and Rebecca Burgos serves as the family and community outreach worker.

Their office is located at the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Westfield on West Silver Street.

“Reading to your child daily is one of the most important things you can do to prepare your child for school, and to help him or her become a successful reader in the future,” said Burgos.

Each Wednesday or Friday, Burgos drops off a book at a family’s home in a plastic bag with a feedback form, along with parenting information and details about upcoming events and programs.

The following week, participants are asked to place the book in the bag and leave it in the same place it was dropped off. A new book will be left at the door for the family to read for the next week.

Wyman’s granddaughter Freya Discenza, 5, who is attending Kindergarten at the Highland School, is always excited to see what new book has arrived.

“We read every day and she is always enthralled with the new book waiting for her,” said Wyman, adding that Freya’s mother, Kelsey Wyman, also joins in for reading time.

Wyman said she encourages parents to consider participating in the program since she has seen the excitement it creates for her granddaughter.

Continued from Page 1

Rebecca Burgos leaves a Book Buddies packet at the Wyman home in Westfield on Wednesday morning.

“I would highly recommend this program,” said Wyman. “Freya has her own extensive library and also can’t wait to return home from school to see what new story awaits her.”

For families living on the south side of the city, Burgos drops off and picks up books on Wednesdays, and for families on the north side, the distribution is done on Fridays.

“Since the program began in 2010, we have averaged about 65 families,” said Burgos. “We want to add more families to the program this year.”

“We are also always looking for donations of new or gently used books,” said

Burgos, noting that books for preschoolers as well as chapter books for ages 5 to 10 are especially needed and she can pick up donations.

“The Magic Tree House, Horrible Harry, and Junie B. Jones book series are particularly enjoyed by the children,” she added.

Throughout the year the women also coordinate a host of programs for families, including playgroups and special events. One upcoming program is “Little Learners,” a free parent and child (ages 3 to 5) program offering activities and projects designed to strengthen early literacy skills and enhance school readiness. The group will meet Tuesdays from 10 to 11:30 a.m. at the Boys and Girls Club and registration is suggested.

Free, drop-in playgroups are also offered for parents or caregivers and children age 5 and younger on Mondays from 10 to 11:30 a.m. at the Boys and Girls Club, and on Fridays beginning Oct. 5 from 10 to 11 a.m. at the Fort Meadow Early Childhood Center. Program topics include math, science, art, literacy, and small and large motor development.

Free story walks are also planned throughout the school year, according to Burgos. The next program is slated Oct. 4 from 10 a.m. to noon as participants take a stroll behind the Amelia Park Children’s Museum on Broad Street while reading the children’s book, “We’re Going on a Leaf Hunt,” by Steve Metzger.

For more information on any of the programs, call (413) 568-5242 or send an email to wcpg@juno.com or cpcoutreach@hotmail.com.

Current programs and events are also detailed on the Westfield Community Partnerships for Children CFCE grant Facebook page.

Super Smash Bros.

By Chris Putz Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Westfield High School football team put forth a real life effort in their home opener Friday night, but their scoring barrage conjured up video game-like numbers.

Westfield scored touchdowns on all eight possessions en route to a 59-6 blowout victory over Commerce Friday night at Bullens Field. The Bombers improved to 3-0.

It took just one play on offense for Westfield to strike first.

Commerce botched its first punt of the game, setting Westfield up in the red zone. The Bombers struck pay dirt when senior quarterback Mike Nihill delivered a quick strike pass to Christian Nalepinski who darted around a few defenders before scoring a touchdown. The score came with 8:52 remaining in the first quarter.

The floodgates opened with Westfield scoring on its each of its next seven drives.

Dakotah Moynihan rumbled for a 34-yard touchdown; Adam Boggs scored on a 10-yard rush in the final minute of the opening quarter; Nihill connected with Baley Collier in the opening minutes of the second quarter; C.J. Skribiski hauled in a Nihill pass out near the flat, bounced to the outside and scampered in untouched up the right sideline for a 41 yard score; and Nihill found Collier streaking down the field for a 57-yard TD to take a 39-0 lead into the half.

The break did not break up the Bombers’ momentum.

Westfield opened the second half with an eight-play drive, 50-yard drive that culminated in Skribiski’s 27-yard catchand-run score, his second scoring play.

Commerce’s ensuing drive was over in the blink of an eye.

On the Red Raiders’ first pass attempt of the second half, Boggs intercepted a pass. The Bombers took over, and after a long run from Moynihan, Manny Sardinha scored on a twoyard TD rush to make it 52-0.

The scoring barrage did not end there though as Westfield soon scored on its eighth straight possession, a 47-yard TD run from Sardinha.

Commerce scored a short touchdown as time ran out.

Technical Academy 0 Aubrey Bryant made 11 saves for Westfield Tech, who delivered a solid effort in defeat.

Goodreau sisters down Red Raiders St. Mary’s 5, Commerce 0 The Goodreau sisters combined for all five goals – Alli netted a hat trick and Emma notched two goals (and an assist) – as St. Mary enjoyed a home shutout.

Erin Olearcek and Chloe Lussier each picked up assists.

Jess Crosby (2 saves) earned the shutout.

“We were able to really mix up the lineup today and get some girls some valuable minutes that will pay off as the season progresses,” St. Mary’s coach Pat Olearcek said.

St. Mary’s has four seventh graders and an eighth grader that have already received valuable playing time. The Saints showed an uptick in tempo from the previous game, increasing its shot total from 27 to 39.

“I really like the pressure we are creating,” coach Olearcek said.

With the win, St. Mary’s improved to 3-0-1.

Eighth grader Everett Stec also scored for St. Mary’s, his first two high school goals, and Brady Collins nabbed a score.

St. Mary’s goalie Hayden Lussier played well in goal, and Jack Masciadrelli, Mark Nelson, and Eason Pak delivered defensively.

BOMBERS TO HONOR SULLIVAN: Players for Westfield High School boys soccer will be wearing red socks embroidered with “KS” at Saturday night’s game against Holyoke to honor late school committee member Kevin Sullivan, a longtime supporter of local athletics, who recently passed away from a sudden heart attack.

The game will begin at Westfield State University at 8 p.m.

Red Sox tie team record with 105th win; Indians’ Bauer back CLEVELAND (AP) — Sam Travis and Tzu-Wei Lin hit their first major league home runs and the Boston Red Sox tied a team record more than a century old with their 105th win, beating the Cleveland Indians 7-5 Friday night.

The AL East champion Red Sox (105-49), playing without several of their regulars, matched the club mark set in 1912.

Trevor Bauer took a step toward being in Cleveland’s postseason rotation, pitching 1 1/3 scoreless innings in his first appearance since breaking his right leg on Aug. 11. He was 12-6 with a 2.22 ERA when was struck on the lower leg by a line drive hit by Jose Abreu of the Chicago White Sox. Boston ace Chris Sale, being eased back into the rotation after recent shoulder trouble, struck out seven in 3 1/3 innings. He allowed two runs in his third start back from the disabled list.

Josh Donaldson homered off Sale in the fourth, ending the lefty’s 35-inning consecutive scoreless streak. It was the first homer off Sale in 75 innings.

Donaldson was acquired from Toronto on Aug. 31 after missing three months with a calf injury. His homer on a 1-2 pitch landed in the left field bleachers and was his second with the Indians and seventh of the season.

The Red Sox used nine

Mookie Betts, Xander Bogaerts, Andrew Benintendi and Jackie Bradley Jr. were out of Boston’s lineup. Rafael Devers homered and Travis, who had three RBIs, for the Red Sox, who used a four-run seventh to erase a 4-2 deficit.

Shane Bieber (10-5) allowed six runs in 4 2/3 innings.

Bauer allowed two hits, walked one and struck out J.D. Martinez, the major league RBIs leader. He threw 34 pitches — 17 strikes — and was pulled after allowing one-out singles to Steve Pearce and Brock Holt in the second.

Bauer is scheduled to start Tuesday against the White Sox and will pitch in Kansas City next weekend.

Dear Annie

By ANNIE LANE

Woe Is She Dear Annie: My husband and I enjoy getting together with a group of friends every couple of months. But recently, one of them has hijacked every evening with her saga over looking for a new husband. We feel bad that her husband left her for, quite frankly, an extremely expensive car. Another woman was involved, too, but it was mostly the car. He left his wife holding the bag -- kids, mortgage, loans and so on. He wiggled out of all of it. She trusted him with the finances and got badly burned.

It’s a sad situation, and we’ve all tried to be supportive over the past few years. She really wants to remarry. She is very smart and pretty and has no trouble getting dates. But that is all she talks about.

I don’t want to be insensitive or uncaring. I am truly concerned for her well-being. The rest of us are happily married and far from the dating scene. I don’t take that for granted, but I guess that what really bothers me is that she dominates every conversation with her dating woes. It has gotten to the point where the host has canceled a few of these get-togethers to avoid her.

How can I be supportive but also let her see that these should be friendly evenings of games and such and not group counseling? It’s hard, too, because she’s more of an acquaintance than a close friend. I only see her at these small parties. I certainly don’t want to hurt her. -- Cautious in Canton Dear Cautious: You are right to be cautious with your friend.

She suffered a huge trauma, and when people are traumatized, they can become frozen in the experience. She seems unable to stop reliving the pain she suffered when her husband betrayed her. It appears that if there is an audience to listen, well, all the better for her. Canceling get-togethers to avoid hearing her talk is a passiveaggressive approach, and such approaches never work.

This woman clearly needs a professional therapist or support group who will listen to her and help her unfreeze and move past what her husband did to her and her children. If you truly don’t want to hurt her and you want be a friend, then you have to have a loving and honest conversation with her. Tell her all the wonderful things you told me about her in this letter -- that she is smart, pretty and kind. But then tell her that she is stuck in the past and that though you’re not a trained professional, you think one could help her.

Dear Annie: It would be really nice if waitstaff and other people in customer service would not address older ladies as “honey,” “sweetie” and the like. I know they mean to be pleasant, but it’s like the old (and thankfully outdated) custom of calling women “girls” -- even into old age -- sort of relegating us to a lesser place in this world. I fight the urge to say, “Oh, if you knew me, you wouldn’t call me that. I’m really not so very sweet.”

We may have gray hair, but we still have gray matter underneath it, friends. -- My Two Cents Dear Two Cents: You’re not the first person who’s written to me with this complaint. Though these servers might mean well, such terms of endearment can come off as patronizing to people they don’t actually hold dear. Thanks for writing.

“Ask Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie” is out now!

HINTS FROM HELOISE Can Fido go visiting with us?

Dear Heloise: It’s tempting to BRING ALONG THE FAMILY DOG when visiting family and friends, because boarding a pet can get expensive.

Hints for visiting with your pet: 1. Is your dog thoroughly housebroken?

Food-aggressive or shy? Does your pet need to be crated if you go out?

2. Make sure your pet is welcome.

3. You are responsible for messes your pet makes.

4. Have copies of your pet’s vet records.

5. Make sure your pet is microchipped.

6. Bring your pet’s food with you.

-- Peggy H. in San Antonio It’s a great time for a weekend getaway, when the leaves are turning. Bring your pets, if it will work for all, for fall! -- Heloise PET PAL Dear Readers: Lesley in San Antonio shared a picture of her sweet, smiling 16-year-old Milo, a Beagle mix. He’s the best companion, and has brought joy and love into her life.

To see Milo and our other Pet Pals, visit www.Heloise.com and click on “Pet of the Week.” -- Heloise WINDSHIELD WARRIOR Dear Heloise: I discovered a cloudy haze on the inside of my car windshield. I tried commercial glass cleaner, only to smear the haze!

I thought, “I know what Heloise would suggest -- vinegar!” I used white vinegar with a microfiber cloth and then wiped the windshield again with plain water. It worked perfectly -- the haze was gone!

I enjoy reading your column in my local paper, the Kirksville (Missouri) Daily Express! Thank you for all your excellent hints and advice. -- Janene M., via email Janene, isn’t vinegar a dream? It’s cheap, available, nontoxic and safe, and I’ve used it throughout my career. I’ve compiled my favorite vinegar hints and even a few yummy recipes into a handy pamphlet. Would you like to receive one? It’s easy! Visit www.Heloise.com to order, or send a stamped (71 cents), selfaddressed, long envelope, together with $5, to: Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. You’re right on track with the microfiber cloth -- no lint left behind! -- Heloise

YOUR

HOROSCOPE

Contract Bridge

By Jaqueline Bigar

DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Sept. 22, 2018: This year you let go of rigid thinking patterns and learn to understand where others are coming from. Your sense of humor and ability to identify a problem quickly add to your popularity.

Nevertheless, you frequently wonder whether to do what you feel or what you think. See what works best for you. If you are single, developing a steady, normal relationship might be close to impossible in this volatile and changeable period. Avoid making a commitment until you stabilize. If you are attached, the two of you enter a period where you seem to be on opposite sides of a seesaw. Express your compassion. PISCES often grounds you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HH You might feel a little under the weather, having pushed so hard as of late. Take a nap, and you will feel better. Take your time and devote the day to you. You can’t delay this process, as life could take an exciting yet possibly exhausting turn quite quickly. Tonight: Feeling renewed.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Your sense of direction combined with a friend’s ideas could create a spectacularly fun day. You learn a lot about the people around you as events and laughter unfold. Take a close friend or loved one seriously, for your own sake.

Tonight: Spontaneity rules -- at least for now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Your ability to move into uncharted territory marks your actions. You know what it’s reasonable to expect from an older relative. You know what this person is capable of, yet you also know what he or she wants to accomplish. Pitch in. Tonight: Time for fun and games!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You have the unique ability to turn situations inside out. Communication remains vital, yet you seem to be unable to decide whether to move in a new direction. Understand the innate liability of giving or receiving too much information! Tonight: Discuss an idea with a loved one.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Understand the purpose of a longoverdue conversation. If nothing else, you and the other party might feel more in sync with each other afterward. Relating will become easier.

Always remember that you are different people with different needs. Tonight: Out with friends.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH You will express a lot of caring to a close friend, sibling or associate, as well as nearly everyone you come into contact with today. You know and understand the power of positive thinking. A child or loved one might change his or her tune once more. Tonight: Full of fun.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You see what is happening between you and a loved one. Consider the alternatives that surround a difficult situation. Relax and remain responsive. Before you know it, you’ll be off on an adventure with friends. Tonight: Understand that you could be more tired than you realize.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH You suddenly might decide to create a vibrant, dynamic change. How you visualize a particular event could be considerably different from reality. Your instincts are likely to kick in, and you know to follow them. Tonight: You might not be ready to discuss what occurs.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Go out of your way to clear up a problem, but first process what is happening.

Know that others might not have the same reaction or might be upset by the same situation. You have reasons for your reaction, but you can choose to let go of the issue. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You will be able to visualize what someone else is discussing. You might not see eye to eye with this person, but you accept that you are different. Open up more, judge less and try to put yourself in his or her shoes. Tonight: You don’t need to go far to have a great time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You see a liability for what it is. You cannot keep reopening a wound without it getting worse. Your words incite a loved one into action or into making a premature decision. You know what ultimately works well. Don’t give in to a whim. Tonight: Try out a fabulous new restaurant.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Your feelings might be extraordinarily intense. What you believe you want and what works for you could be out of sync, causing a sense of dissatisfaction. Do not fight the inevitable. Tonight: Discuss a get-together with someone at a distance.

THE WESTFIELD NEWS

NASCAR THIS WEEK SPEED FREAKS A few questions we had to ask ourselves

Do we even have to ask if it’s now a “Big 4”?

GODSPEAK: Brad Keselowski has so much momentum right now, you could surf on it. Yes, the “Deuce” streak makes it a “Big 4.”

KEN’S CALL: Frankly, I was ready to bring Kez aboard, drop Martin Truex Jr., and keep it a “Big 3.” But then Truex returned to form at Vegas, so yep, it now looks like a “Big 4.”

Harvick is angry. Does that mean he wins Saturday night at Richmond?

GODSPEAK: Kevin Harvick gave new meaning to “rolling craps” in Las Vegas. Warning!

Warning! Don’t poke the bear at Richmond.

KEN’S CALL: There are too many things that can go wrong to prevent a win, so that’s hard to assume. But I know this: No one should get in his way.

FEUD OF THE WEEK KEVIN HARVICK VS. GOODYEAR: Harvick had a big beef with the tiremaker after his right-front blew out, sending his No. 4 Ford into the wall at Las Vegas. “There was something wrong from the time we put the tires on,” he said.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: Drivers generally don’t speak badly of Goodyear. Harvick did. “It was like Russian roulette every time you put these piece-of-crap tires on and try to drive around the racetrack,” he said.

RICHMOND THREE THINGS TO WATCH

MOTOR MOUTHS PODCAST Are we jumping off the Harvick bandwagon? Maybe, maybe not.

Tune in online at www.news-journalonline.com/ daytonamotormouths

Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

Did Ross Chastain finally earn a big-time ride?

In earlier, more predictable financial times for NASCAR, the answer would be yes. In his second of three starts in a Ganassi Racing Xfinity Series car, Chastain won at Las Vegas. He jumped at the Ganassi opportunity and even agreed to forgo a paycheck for the chance. It’s not the first Vegas gamble to pay off. His third start for Ganassi comes this week at Richmond. Chastain is from a long line of watermelon farmers in southwest Florida, and that alone makes it worth pulling for the 25-year-old racer.

A new Mr. September?

Denny Hamlin fell to last place in the NASCAR playoff standings after this incident ended his day at Las Vegas. [AP/ISAAC BREKKEN]

1. Separation process The NASCAR playoff-parting process has started. It’s like separating a yolk from an egg white: It can be messy. Martin Truex Jr., Kyle Busch and Brad Keselowski top the charts, while Erik Jones and Denny Hamlin will almost need a win to get to the Round of 12. “Not the situation we needed to be in, we didn’t have any bonus points, and we’ve got some work to do now,” said Jones, who started from the Vegas pole.

2. Spun, but not done Kyle Busch rallied from a self-inflicted spin (Lap 233 of 272) to finish seventh at Vegas.

Busch said he has encountered handling woes with his No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota in the past several weeks. “I don’t know what it is,” he said. “Bad aura or something right

now, and we need to switch that around or change that around — fix that up, clean that up, whatever. It’s not the time of year to be having that stuff.”

3. Truex returns Martin Truex Jr. and his No. 78 Toyota team are back after a four-race performance hiatus that included a last-place finish at Indianapolis. Truex finished third at Vegas and planted his flag for a title run. “We can talk all we want about who did great in the regular season, but at the end of the day, we’re here to win a championship, and at the end of the season, the four best guys will be at Homestead, and hopefully we’re there,” he said.

LAS VEGAS

GODWIN’S PICKS FOR RICHMOND WINNER: Brad Keselowski REST OF TOP 5: Kyle Larson, Kyle Busch, Joey Logano, Denny Hamlin FIRST ONE OUT: Ty Dillon DARK HORSE: Ryan Newman DON’T BE SURPRISED IF: Keselowski extends his winning streak to four Cup Series wins and takes his place among the “Big 3.”

QUESTIONS & AT T I T U D E

THREE THINGS WE LEARNED 1. Penske 500 No, it’s not the name of a race. It’s a reference to Roger Penske, whose race team scored its 500th victory when Brad Keselowski took the checkered flag at Las Vegas.

“Great job by Brad and the No. 2 team to start the playoffs with a win,” said Penske, who was with his IndyCar team in California.

3. Extra stats The top seven finishers at Las Vegas are drivers in the playoffs. Martin Truex Jr. finished third ahead of Kyle Busch (seventh)

2018 SCHEDULE AND WINNERS Feb. 11: Clash at Daytona (Brad Keselowski) Feb. 15: Can-Am Duel at Daytona (Ryan Blaney and Chase Elliott) Feb. 18: Daytona 500 (Austin Dillon) Feb. 25: Folds of Honor 500 at Atlanta (Kevin Harvick) March 4: Kobalt 400 at Las Vegas (Kevin Harvick) March 11: Camping World 500(k) at Phoenix (Kevin Harvick) March 18: Auto Club 400 at Fontana (Martin Truex) March 26: STP 500 at Martinsville (Clint Bowyer) April 8: O’Reilly Auto Parts 500 at Texas (Kyle Busch) April 15: Food City 500 at Bristol (Kyle Busch) April 21: Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond (Kyle Busch)

W H AT ’ S O N TA P

2. Fell into hole Denny Hamlin hasn’t won this year and finished Race 1 of the NASCAR playoffs in 32nd place. He hit the wall 20 laps from the finish. “Trying to get more than the car was capable of,” he said. “We should have just finished 15th or 10th or wherever we were at.”

Harry Gant earned that label in 1991 when he won four straight races in September. Brad Keselowski can do the same if he wins at Richmond this week. Kez could even go one better, since Charlotte’s inaugural road-course race also falls within the month, on Sept. 30. Back in ’91, “Handsome Harry” also got a fifth September race and nearly swept the entire month — he led 350 of 400 laps at North Wilkesboro but finished second to Dale Earnhardt.

Roger Penske, who started his racing program in 1966, now boasts 500 wins as a car owner across several series. Brad Keselowski got the magic 500th win for “The Captain” at Las Vegas on Sunday. [AP/R. BRENT SMITH]

XFINITY: Go Bowling 250 SITE: Richmond Raceway SCHEDULE: Friday, practice (NBCSports.com, 8:30 a.m. and 10 a.m.), qualifying (NBC Sports Network, 4:30 p.m.), race (NBC Sports Network, 7:30 p.m.)

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.
