New Hampshire man dies in Chester crash CHESTER, Mass. (AP) — Massachusetts State Police say a New Hampshire man has died in a single-car crash in Chester. Police responded to the crash at about 9 p.m. Wednesday. The initial investigation indicates that the vehicle left the roadway, struck a utility pole and then rolled over, pinning the victim underneath. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The name of the victim was not immediately released pending notification of family, but police said he is a 49-year-old man from Chester, New Hampshire. The crash remains under investigation.

Animal cruelty charged By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A former city resident has been arraigned for a charge of animal cruelty after bleach was poured over a caged dog which was left to soak all day. The case began in January of this year when Officer Luis Morales responded to a Union Street address in response to a report that a person had poured bleach over a dog. According to Dianne Patitucci, the mother of the dog’s owner, the roots of the issue reached back to November, 2013, when Jennifer Gingras, 34, of 23 Lincoln St., Feeding Hills, moved in with her son and his dog. Patitucci said that after Gingras moved in with her son she began a quest to “get rid” of Gigit”, his 15-year-old Jack Russell terrier dog. Ken Frazer, at the time the city director of animal control operations, said when the incident occurred that Gingras did not like the dog and “every chance she had, she kicked it or molested it in some way.” Patitucci said that, as a compromise, her son agreed to keep Gigit confined in a crate when he wasn’t home but apparently his girlfriend wasn’t mollified and she continued to pressure him. Patitucci said that her son told her that the woman went so far as to incite the dog to bite her so she could report the bite to animal control officers. When the bite was reported, Gigit was quarantined for ten days but, Patitucci said, “that wasn’t enough for her as she continued to argue with

Southwick gets ready to ride By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – Independence Day is being celebrated a bit early in Southwick as the Friends of the Rail Trail host the fourth Annual July Fourth Kids Bike Ride. The event is June 28 with registration at 9 a.m., followed by the ride at 9:30 a.m. starting at the Miller Road parking area of the Southwick Rail Trail. Christy Bannish of the Friends of the Rail Trail said the ride is short and geared toward younger children, but children of all ages are welcome. “We will have the older kids start first, followed by the little ones on bikes,” she said. For toddlers and babies, families are welcome to bring them in wagons and strollers. “Non-motorized scooters are also welcome,” said Bannish. Riders and their families are encouraged to wear their best patriotic attire and deck their bikes, wagons, and more in red, white and blue. “We will give prizes for the most patriotic and most creative,” Bannish said. “Celebrity” judges this year include Selectman Joseph Deedy and Parks and Recreation Commissioner Daniel Call with assistance form the Southwick Police Association. “It’s a lot of fun,” said Bannish. “We have activities for kids like face painting, and Moolicious will be here with their ice-cream truck giving our ice-cream.” Bannish said it’s a fun way to kick off the summer, and a great introduction to the Southwick Rail Trail for young riders and their families. “It’s also a way for people to get to know the Friends of the Rail Trail,” Bannish said. “We are always looking for volunteers, and we are a very low-key group that has fun.” The rain date is June 29. Helmets and parental supervision required.
By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Zoning Board of Appeals last night approved two special permits and a variance requested by city residents to modernize their homes, one on Valley View Drive and the other on Granville Road. James and Sandra Wood petitioned the ZBA for both a variance and special permit to build an in-law addition to the front of their house that will be used to care for Sandra’s mother. The couple proposed to build the 22-by-31 foot addition to the front of the existing singlefamily residence because that neighborhood is not served by city sewers and the septic system is located in the rear of the structure, preventing expansion of the building in that direction. The ZBA members said that the winding street, which has several curves, means that houses do not have a uniform setback. “This is one of the oddest street configurations in the city to say the least,” ZBA member Martin Newman said. “I think the location of the septic system is the key. They can’t build in the back, so they’re kind of hogtied and it does create a hardship.” See ZBA, Page 8

By Peter Francis Staff Writer HUNTINGTON – The Gateway Regional School Committee voted by one vote to award Supertintendent Dr. David Hopson a contract extension. By a vote of seven in favor, six opposing and one abstention, Hopson’s new contract will be extended 14 months until August 31, 2018. “I would only be willing to extend 14 months, because I intend to retire from Gateway in four years and two months, and I would commit to Gateway until that time if you extend my contract,” said Hopson. “If you don’t extend, in all likelihood I would stay for three years but I’d be looking to leave potentially.” In his 20th year of working for the Gateway Regional District, Hopson added that he has applied for a handful of jobs in the past two years, and that he has been interviewed for every job he’s applied for. “Technically, you can take no vote today, and in three months if I get a job offer, you could vote to extend and change it. That’s up to you as a committee,” he said. “I’m just trying See Contract, Page 3
Westfield man stunned, arrested after high-speed chase By REBECCA EVERETT @GazetteRebecca WESTFIELD — A man was arrested on Southampton Road in Westfield Wednesday evening, surrounded by Holyoke and Westfield Police and a State Police helicopter, after leading officers on a high-speed chase through three cities. Holyoke Police Sgt. Kevin Thomas said John Smith of Westfield will face charges including assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and numerous motor vehicle charges after the chase. When Smith finally stopped his car on Southampton Road in Westfield he was uncooperative and police had to use
a Taser several times to subdue him, Thomas said. Smith, who Thomas said was in his mid- to late 50s, was being evaluated at Holyoke Medical Center Wednesday night as a precaution. Thomas said that shortly after 6 p.m. police tried to question Smith as he emerged from a “known drug building” at Elm and Appleton streets. He allegedly fled to his vehicle and drove away, traveling the wrong way on a one-way street. He led police through downtown Holyoke, at one point driving his car straight at an officer who attempted to approach on foot, Thomas said.
Smith then drove north on I-91 into Northampton, getting off at Exit 18 and traveling south on Route 5, back into Holyoke, and then west on Route 202 into Westfield. Westfield Police Lt. Jay Pitoniak said that at 6:30 p.m. his officers deployed “stop sticks,” which are designed to puncture tires, on Route 202, also called North Road. When the vehicle sped by, three tires were popped, he said. The driver turned onto Southampton Road and then stopped, Pitoniak said. ——— Rebecca Everett can be reached at reverett@gazettenet.com.

Fla woman accused of eating weed in patrol car COCOA, Fla. (AP) — The Florida Highway Patrol says a 33-year-old woman DUI suspect ate approximately 11 grams of marijuana while in the back of a patrol car. Troopers say Tavish Kay Smith crashed her pickup truck on June 13. Florida Today (http://on.flatoday. com/1rC8KsH ) reports Smith was arrested on DUI charges, her car was searched and troopers found a baggie of marijuana, which was placed in the patrol car’s center console. Smith wiggled out of her handcuffs when the trooper wasn’t looking, and grabbed the marijuana bag. She ate most of it before returning the bag. When she scratched her nose, the trooper realized she was out of her handcuffs. She told the trooper she didn’t eat the pot, but video suggest otherwise. But she now faces tampering with evidence charges in addition to DUI.

Government Meetings
Anti-casino group seeks broader base By PHILIP MARCELO Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — With a huge court victory behind them, casino opponents turn their attention to broadening their financial and popular support to win repeal of the Massachusetts’ 2011 gambling law in the November election. Repeal the Casino Deal scored big Tuesday when the state’s highest court cleared the way for the repeal question to be on the ballot. The law allows for three regional resort casinos and one slots parlor. Gambling regulators so far have awarded a license to MGM Resorts International for an $800 million casino in Springfield, and to Penn National Gaming for a slots parlor at the Plainridge racetrack in Plainville. Organizers said yesterday they are optimistic that previously hesitant donors and supporters will step up now that the Supreme Judicial Court has ruled. They cite social, moral and economic reasons for opposing casinos. “A lot of people had us written off for dead,” said John Ribeiro, the group’s chairman. “But now they see that common sense has prevailed — that people should have a vote on this. People will take a second look.” Ribeiro, a Winthrop computer pro-
grammer who helped defeat a casino planned for neighboring East Boston, said fundraising events are in the works. “The odds were always against us,” said Ribeiro. “What we know is that we need to go to every corner of this state … We just need to get our message out. That’s what’s been effective.” In recent weeks, Repeal the Casino Deal hired a paid campaign manager and fundraiser. It’s also brought on volunteers from local groups that helped defeat casino proposals in East Boston, Palmer, Milford and elsewhere. David Guarino, a former communications director for former state House Speaker Salvatore DiMasi, serves as the group’s media and political strategist. Former Democratic state Attorney General Scott Harshbarger, who ran unsuccessfully for governor in 1998, has also been a prominent adviser. Organizers are reluctant to estimate how much money they’ll need to prevail at the polls. To get this far, they’ve leaned on a handful of relatively affluent local donors. About a dozen donors comprise more than $150,000 of the $175,476 that Repeal the Casino Deal raised last year. Repeal the Casino Deal entered this year with just $7,767 in its campaign account. The group hasn’t disclosed how much it
has raised and spent this year but plans to file a campaign finance report in August. Last year, the group’s top donor was Alan Lewis, CEO of Grand Circle Travel, a Boston-based travel company. He gave $70,000. Lewis has previously donated to the state Republican Party and former Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, a Democrat. He did not immediately respond to a request for comment yesterday. The second-largest donor was Jerry Belair, general counsel for Meredith Management, a Boston-based real estate development company. He gave $46,000 in direct donations and loans. Belair said he’s been involved in anti-casino efforts in Massachusetts since the 1990s, when he and other Springfield residents helped defeat a casino proposal in that city. The now-Rhode Island resident said he’s not willing to put a limit on his financial support of the cause. “We’re in it to win it,” Belair said yesterday. Other significant donations came from former U.S. Ambassador to Austria Swanee Hunt ($15,000), Atlantic Charter Insurance Company CEO Linda Sallop ($5,000) and the Episcopal Diocese of Western Massachusetts ($3,000).
Continued from Page 1 a contract extension when there are three years left on the contract and the teachers have committed to renegotiating next year.” Eliason said that the contract does allow the superintendent to leave at any time with 90-days notice, “whether he’s got three years left or four and a half or six.” When Committee Member Shirley Winer of Chester asked Hopson to clarify his personal timeline, he said he has set his retirement date to grant ample time to find a replacement, as opposed to leaving abruptly. Damon said that he would consider the committee not renewing his contract “an insult” if he was in Hopson’s shoes. “I have confidence in him (Hopson),” said Damon. “If he leaves, we’re going to assume one heck of a mess and expense replacing him. I know down the road we’re going to have to, but I don’t want to do it any sooner than we have to.” Crane said that a vote on an extension relates back to how a superintendent is evaluated, and stated that the majority of respondents on Hopson’s evaluation rated him proficient or exemplary. “That doesn’t add up to people not wanting to give that vote of confidence,” she said. Sue Levreault of Worthington disagreed. “Currently, Dr. Hopson has three years left on his contract and that’s three whole years. The teaching staff took a one-year contract and I think we have confidence in
them,” she said. “I don’t think we’re saying that we don’t have confidence. We’re saying that we’re not really sure what is going to happen next year.” Hopson pointed out that the difference between evaluating teachers and administrators is not fair. “Teachers have tenure. Whether they have a contract or not, they’re still going to work,” he said. “Any administrator whose contract runs out, is done. There’s no recourse. When your contract is up, you’re done.” Huntington Finance Committee Member Darlene McVeigh, whose husband was a longtime teacher in the district, was in attendence, and told Hopson that teachers can be still be cut back after a year, referring to his comparison as “disingenuous.” “(A teacher’s contract) is automatically renewed unless they get laid off,” Hopson said, adding that any administrator can get laid off should budget needs require it. “In essence, an administrator and teacher are on the same oneyear contract if you’re really looking at the fact that, for budgetary reasons, you can lay off anybody.” Kennedy said that Hopson had told her on two occasions that he would retire at the end of his contract in 2017. Huntington Selectman John McVeigh also spoke directly to Hopson. “We have highway superintendents and police chiefs who, six months comes to their time, we start rolling it out. Do we want to hire somebody else? We appoint three
Animal Cruelty Continued from Page 1 my son to ‘get rid’ of him.” Frazer said that the woman gave her boyfriend an ultimatum, a choice between her and his dog. “He chose the dog” Frazer reported and said that, after her boyfriend left for work, she poured bleach over the caged dog and also left. Patitucci said “The dog sat on a bleach-soaked pillow for somewhere between 7-10 hours. My son came home and found him cowering and crying in the cage.” “The dog’s feet were all burned, they were cherry red
from sitting in the bleach all day” Frazer said and added that bleach got in the dog’s eyes. In April, Patitucci reported “Gigit is doing fairly well. The chemical burns on his body are healed but he has lost the sight in his right eye.” She later reported that Gigit underwent a procedure which restored some vision to the eye. Frazer reported in a court document filed with a criminal complaint application that “Gingras denied any involvement in the bleach incident”
but he pointed out that she and her boyfriend were the only persons who had access to the apartment. Gingras appeared before Judge Philip A. Contant yesterday in Westfield District Court for arraignment on a charge of cruelty to an animal and was released on her personal recognizance pending a Sept. 3 hearing. If convicted, in district court, Gingras faces a sentence of as much as two and a half years incarceration in the house of correction and/or a fine of as much as $2,500.

Contract to put my cards on the table.” When Committee Member Michele Crane of Blandford put forward a motion to extend Hopson’s contract, seconded by Committee Member Ron Damon of Huntington, Committee Member Ruth Kennedy of Russell reiterated a point she had just made. “I just read that we can’t vote on it until his contract is over,” she said, referencing a document that had been passed around the table earlier. “We can’t vote on this tonight.” The document, written by Attorney Russell Dupere to then-School Committee Chair Beth Brett on May 31, 2013, addressed the issue of whether the School Committee is limited to extending a superintendent’s contract for more than one year. Hopson told Kennedy that he was told by Dupere, the School Committee’s legal counsel, that a vote to extend for one year can take place. Following a short heated exchange between Crane and Kennedy over the quality of the district’s representation, Chair Gretchen Eliason of Worthington sought to get the meeting back on track, and stated she didn’t see anything wrong with allowing a contract to expire before voting on it. “Our teachers committed to a one-year contract this year because they wanted to be flexible,” she said, referencing Worthington’s attempts to withdraw from the district as a sticking point. “I don’t think it would go over well to give

years, these guys know this,” he said. McVeigh added that he didn’t appreciate Hopson ‘making idle threats’ saying he would leave and accused him of using a bully pulpit. Hopson responded that his intent was to lay out his intentions as basically as he could and that there are differences between the “subsets” applying for school and highway superintendents. McVeigh responded angrily “you’ll never get it” to Hopson, and walked out of the meeting, referring to the superintendent as a “waste of money” and the district would be better off without him. Gateway Business and Finance Officer Stefanie Fisk personally endorsed Hopson, adding that the district is on the verge of serious changes. “There’s a lot of things on the district’s plate. You might have gone through superintendent searches, but I’ve worked for them all,” she said. “Some have been nightmares, and you’re in such a position right now where you have someone who is vested in the district, who cares about the welfare of the children, and I think it is the right time.”

Deal could avert ballot questions on hospitals
Address: _____________________________________________________
BOSTON (AP) — A union representing nurses in Massachusetts says it will withdraw two proposed November ballot questions if a deal reached on nurse-patient ratios becomes law. The agreement reached with legislative leaders would set strict limits on the number of patients that registered nurses who work in hospital intensive care units can be assigned to at a given time. The House passed the bill late Wednesday. The Senate is expected to take up the measure on Thursday. Massachusetts Nurses Association president Donna KellyWilliams said in a statement that if lawmakers give final approval and the bill is signed by Gov. Deval Patrick, the union will withdraw two proposed ballot initiatives: One that would require nurse-patient ratios and another that would force hospitals to be more transparent about their financial holdings.

Mr. President, we need rules for drones—Now

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor and Fellow Westfielders: I believe the Leadership of Westfield requires some serious revision; the demographics, recent successes and myriad of treasures in Westfield, MA deserve greater attention and necessary accentuation. End the negativity. Please. It has been interesting to hear and read of Westfield property/ business owners’ objections to becoming mandatory members of Westfield’s Business Improvement District (WBID). Objections that I fully understand. However, I also live on the edge of that district and will honestly miss the buildings, the flowered planters at the intersections, the hanging baskets and attractive WBID logo designation flags that have welcomed visitors to Westfield in recent years. I, therefore, am very sad to hear that Westfield’s “Clean Team” may, in the very near future, be dissolved entirely. They have done an amazing job and should be congratulated. In the years since moving to Westfield, I have volunteered with many local organizations and have been appointed to both the Westfield Historic Commission and the Westfield Cultural Council. It has been a joy to work alongside the many other volunteers I’ve also met at the Westfield Athenaeum, the Westfield Historical Society, and Westfield on Weekends, the Westfield Kiwanis Club, the Woman’s Club Foundation and many other organizations. And I’ve come to recognize and respect Westfield for what it could be – other than merely “The Whip City.” In a recent conversation with a few local business owners, all agreed that Westfield is, indeed, a very interesting community and comprised of at least four segments. Currently there seems to exist: 1) Residents of Munger Hill, Ridgecrest, Devon Manor, Shaker Heights, etc.; 2) the Downtown residents, property owners and business people; 3) the Westfield State University (staff and students), as well as those who live around the perimeter of that institution; and 4) those who dwell just outside the above three areas and/ or in the hill towns on Rt. 20. Recognizing the basic generalization here, one should also understand that there are, of course, exceptions within each of these demographic groups. The first group is primarily “sport-centric” suburbanites; young families with children going to local schools who spend most of their time anywhere but downtown. Both parents most likely work; at least one full-time. They are dropping off/picking up children to and from school and/or various sporting activities (baseball, hockey, basketball, soccer, tennis, golf) and/or enjoying these activities themselves when they can find the time. Should they visit the downtown, it would be at night for dinner on a special occasion or church on Sunday. While this group may have respectable incomes, they are saving for their children’s education and/or a once-a-year vacation. They tend to buy online and/or at the Mall where they are assured of a parking place for their SUVs and minivans. The second group is the least financially secure, personally and/ or professionally. Most rent from displaced landlords and eat most of their meals at home. Their concern may be a daily routine that will, hopefully, continue to keep their heads above water, while attending activities or appointments at the Samaritan House, The Carson Center and/or the Forum House. Others in this segment may have a business to support. Business expenses usually come first and/or a close second to family expenses and are usually very much intertwined. While some drive, many walk and/or take a bus to utilize the grocery stores, pharmacies, Farmers’ Markets, the Post Office, Noble Hospital, etc. Some property owners in this segment have begun recognizing the convenience of living in this area and are making improvements to the magnificent properties that exist in this area – without the support, encouragement and/or direction of any elected/appointed officials. The third group is solely occupied with concerns at their University, which are considerable. Since the City of Westfield has only recently made any effort to accentuate the positive influence of this institution within our Community (not to mention within the “Education Corridor of New England”), students and staff are just beginning to become connected and/or concerned with the Downtown of Westfield. This is an upwardly-mobile segment of Westfield that has been all but disregarded until recently. Their contributions both creatively and monetarily are slowly being recognized/honored. Our last group may have the deepest pockets; probably retired, or close to it. Their families are grown. They have achieved a success that allows them “get-away” homes at Otis for the summer and/or Florida for the winter. They define the stereotypical tight-fisted New Englanders who are just so pleased with what currently exists (i.e., their financial security: some earned, some inherited and a few that literally “hit the jackpot!”) that any suggested change whatsoever is met with understandable angst or extreme contention. Again, there will always be exceptions within these generalized demographics, but it was interesting to hear this perspective from local business owners. Having lived in Westfield’s community for the last eleven years, I would add a fifth segment: The Spanish and Russian communities, which are doing quietly very well in Westfield – perhaps because immigrants arrive with exceptional skills, educations and/ or work ethics, are being paid little or no attention and expect nothing in return. I was born and raised in the Midwest of the USA. The small towns of the Midwest were, perhaps, not as diverse as those of the East Coast but most mid-westerners originally hailed from the East, transplanting themselves for opportunities of a better life. Growing up in the nineteen-fifties and sixties, it seemed to me that the entire middle of our nation was cloaked in a veil of fear that the next election (or the “Red Threat”) was going to corrupt their economies and erase their communities from the face of Mother Earth. However, along with that fear, the primary dynamic of any mid-western community was Collaboration. Collaboration: Something I have yet to see fully functional within the New England paradigm of Westfield, MA politics. Commitment and Communication are two other significant “C” words for which I was taught great respect. I have come to believe that together those “Three Cs” can, indeed, accomplish just about anything – and ALL lead directly to a COMMUNITY that honors and respects the CONTRIBUTIONS of every segment. The aforementioned “Three Cs” can certainly accomplish more than conceit, contempt and combativeness which dominated my elementary
By JEFFREY H. SMITH and JOHN B. BELLINGER III Politico.com Throughout the 20th century the United States, more than any other country, championed the development of the international law of armed conflict. But in this century many nations accuse the United States of abandoning that leadership by using drones to conduct hundreds of targeting killings of terror suspects in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, and elsewhere, in what they see as a violation of international law. And now, with the world watching, President Obama may decide to expand the use of drones to Iraq to counter the advances of the militant group Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). In the view of critics, the United States has arrogated to itself the legal right to kill — anywhere in the world — a person it determines through a secret process to be a member of al Qaeda or its associated forces. Critics also argue it is not clear whom the United States is targeting, what criteria are used, how many civilians are killed, and whether there is adequate oversight and accountability for the program. Although Obama Administration officials have made some efforts to address these concerns, the drone program has remained shrouded in secrecy under both the Bush and Obama administrations. The United States has confirmed only a handful of operations that killed four American citizens out of reportedly hundreds of drone strikes. The memorandum by the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel analyzing the law applicable to the targeted killing of Anwar al-Awlaki, which was made public earlier this week after a FOIA lawsuit, focused primarily on U.S. laws that might apply to killing an American citizen. But the international legal issues are equally important and may be the subject of even greater attention if the United States uses drones in Iraq. A good case can be made that the use of drones to conduct targeted killings of terrorists is legal under international law, but it is more difficult to argue that the current program, which has apparently killed thousands of people in multiple countries over the last decade, is consistent with more basic ruleof-law principles that are at the core of the American identity and that we seek to promote around the world. Under these principles all persons, including the government itself, are bound by laws that are publicly promulgated, equally enforced, independently adjudicated, and respect individual rights. If the U.S. government doesn’t do a better job of explaining the application of law to the drone program, America’s stature and influence in the world could be at risk in the long run. No program, regardless of its effectiveness, can be sustained over time if it is not accepted as lawful by the majority of nations. So we believe the president must make a greater effort to place the U.S. use of lethal drones on a more sustainable international legal footing. If he fails to act, the technology will continue to develop without a concomitant development of the law to govern its use. And that will lead to further problems ahead, including possible international legal actions against U.S. officials. This will not be an easy task. A task force convened by the Stimson Center, upon which we served, is releasing a report with its recommendations on June 26. Here are three specific
school playground at recess almost as much as they seem to dominate our local City Council meetings. (In the words of one phenomenal Disco Diva: “Enough Is Enough,” boys and girls.) Commitment, Collaboration and Communication make for a better life and a better Community. Midwesterners may have realized that as a result of their transplantation. Perhaps it is a lesson learned in travelling … it is, in fact, impossible to get anywhere in one’s personal life or physically on this planet without commitment, collaboration and communication. Westfield is neither a school playground, nor is it a war zone. Then why has our local government become so combative? It is embarrassing. Elected by rarely more than 35 percent of all Westfield registered voters on a “good” election day, many counselors may believe they are representing a constituent majority. (Reality Check: Hardly.) Currently, a coalition of counselors seem particularly intent on bankrupting our Mayor. They are certainly committed and communicative, yet I find this particular coalition sadly miss-focused if they think their particular goal would be good, in any way, for Westfield. It is petty and unproductive and counterintuitive to why they were elected. But, is there any other focus represented within our City Council other than reducing property taxes? Is there any focus for the Future of Westfield? Is there, in fact, any kind of business plan, or a Master Plan for Westfield’s Future? I would suspect that very little research on those two questions would quickly uncover a negative response to both. Then, what exactly are those of us minority registered voters electing our officials to do? Messrs. James Boardman and Larry Smith (Westfield’s two former appointed Community Development Directors) both told me that they didn’t like the idea of a master plan for Westfield because getting changes through a contentious City Council would be futile, if not extraordinarily frustrating. It seems from the perspective of those two appointed officials that contention between our Mayor’s office and our City Council has been the norm for some time. A norm that continually gets re-elected. Is that truly in the best interest of OUR Community? Change is another word beginning with “C”. Change is difficult, especially for the elderly who are becoming the largest segment of our societal structure. And yet it is so important that Change be tolerated because research has proven that when a collective consciousness makes a decision, it is for the betterment of ALL. Also, please remember, that change can also be changed. Any system of organization, should it not allow for change, ultimately collapses in on itself. Suggested change Number One: I personally believe that Mayoral term limits should be expanded to four years. Within any changing environment, which is as large as Westfield, it takes two years to simply learn the names of all those with whom one is expected to collaborate. Getting others to successfully commit and clearly communicate goals, objectives and deliverables within any changing environment takes longer than two years. Westfield is on a proverbial “verge.” What that verge is could be anybody’s guess. But it will define Westfield’s Future to some extent – if not a great extent. As anyone in corporate America will tell you, and here’s another lesson of which all elected officials should be reminded: Failure to Plan IS Planning to Fail. I worry that City Leadership will not continue the progressive movement of Westfield’s newly renovated Bridges and Park Square areas. Our Leadership needs a Future PLAN – other than simply reducing taxes. Dissolution of our WBID seems a step backwards rather than a step forward. Please, please step forward and PLAN for your children. There remain a number of business people who participated faithfully for years in the BID and its efforts – for the betterment of Westfield. For this City’s government to disregard the efforts of these businesses (their time, money AND taxes) would not only be
recommendations that, from our perspective as attorneys who have worked in senior positions in Republican and Democratic administrations and on the Hill, the president should adopt. —First, improve transparency in drone strikes. The United States should at minimum disclose the number of strikes, the number killed, the affiliations of those targeted, the number of civilian casualties, and the procedures for targeting decisions. It is true that many foreign governments do not want us to acknowledge that drone strikes are being conducted from or on their soil, but the United States should begin the process of weaning those governments from the cloak of secrecy. Our long-term interests in combating terrorism are best served by strengthening democratic and responsible governments, not enabling secretive rulers. Improved transparency is critical to re-building the trust that our allies have in our leadership in international law —Second, institute more robust oversight and accountability. The president should, by executive order, establish an independent bi-partisan commission on lethal drone policy and strategy. The commission, which might be composed of respected former government officials as well as regional and human rights experts, should not be in the chain of command for drone operations, but it should have the power to review individual strikes, including the intelligence that underpinned the strike and the consequences of the strike . The commission should report annually to the president and to Congress and release an unclassified report to the public. We believe a report by an independent commission would help to address domestic and international concerns that the executive branch is accountable to no one for targeted killings and that U.S. drone strikes are not directed against appropriate targets or may kill too many civilians.. —Third, develop clear international legal norms for the use of lethal force outside a traditional battlefield. The traditional rules of war and for use of force do not address the complexities of modern conflicts between states and non-state terrorist groups. We believe the United States has acted responsibly in conducting drone strikes but unless our country clarifies the rules and practices it is following, other states with less justifiable motives can easily point to the U.S. program as grounds to conduct lethal drone strikes that are not remotely responsible. For example, on what legal grounds could we object to Russian lethal drone strikes on Ukrainian “terrorists” ? in Eastern Ukraine? Like all new weapons systems, lethal drones are raising a host of policy and legal questions. But the time to address those questions is now. The United States should re-assert its leadership in the international community and develop responsible rules that the rest of the world can follow. To wait is to abdicate — and pay the cost later. ——— Jeffrey H. Smith served as general counsel of the CIA during the Clinton administration. John B. Bellinger III served as legal adviser of the National Security Council and legal adviser of the State Department during the George W. Bush administration.

a slap in the face to our downtown business men and women but also be fatal to the continuation of so many positive achievements in that area. (Not to mention the recent achievements of many local not-for-profits.) Westfield, MA is a Treasure Chest. It is possessed of an economic history that has significantly enhanced the growth of our nation; as well as having architecture on its Park Square from three consecutive centuries; cemeteries full of historic people; a four-year University that ranks as one of the best in the nation and has an incredibly rich history; Barnes Airport; Stanley Park; Amelia Park Skating Rink and Gardens; the Greater Westfield Boys & Girls Club; the Westfield YMCA; the Amelia Park Children’s Museums; our own Westfield Athenaeum. In addition, the excitement of possibly having Westfield’s own “highline” rail trail, as well as its own Westfield Museum, AND a Riverfront – all nestled in the foothills of the Berkshires. Most cities our size would weep with envy to have any of these treasures in their midst. As historic preservation research encourages urban revitalizationists: Investing in One’s Past Guarantees One’s Future. There are communities in our own Commonwealth that are prime examples of this. There are incredible treasures within our wonderful community that deserve recognition, validation and commemoration. None of these will be possible without an elected Leadership with a VISION of Westfield as more than “The Whip City” and the continual reliance on dedicated volunteers, as Westfield has done for years. Dedicated volunteers burn out. It time for a local governmental leadership that is collaborative, committed and communicative for the purpose of sustaining the Treasures of Westfield for the FUTURE of Westfield? Points of view will always differ; we are mere mortals. And especially for the elder segment of our community, the status quo will always be preferable. However, as Westfield begins planning for its 350 Anniversary in 2019, it should become even more essential that our elected Leadership terminate the present “Silo-style” of administration and recognize the Similarities among each segment – which first and foremost MUST BE the Future of Westfield, including its Treasures – and simultaneously respect, if not embrace, the Differences that each segment of our Community brings to the table. Not an easy task. Thank you. James L Homan

Mayors seek more control over liquor licenses BOSTON (AP) — Boston Mayor Martin Walsh and 16 other eastern Massachusetts mayors and city managers are asking state lawmakers to give cities and towns more control over liquor licenses. In a letter sent Wednesday to members of the Legislature, the mayors say restaurants and bars are critical to neighborhood revitalization, and lifting caps on liquor licenses would make it easier for establishments to do business. The state caps the number of licenses a city or town can grant under a formula based partly on population. Any requests for liquor licenses above the cap must be brought before the Legislature for approval. The mayors are asking lawmakers to support a bill filed by Gov. Deval Patrick that would lift the caps, allowing cities and towns to determine the number of licenses that are granted. See Licenses, Page 8

Two Musical Classics ... A Little Night Music Inspired by Ingmar Bergman’s “Smiles of a Summer Night”, whirled about by some of the most exhilarating waltzes by Stephen Sondheim (including his most famous “Send in the Clowns”), “A Little Night Music” is the lovely summer show. Imagine a Swedish country house, where a famed actress (Maureen O’Flynn) and her mother (Penny Fuller) invite a host of people linked together in multi-layered liasons. A lawyer (Gregg Edelman), once in love with
the actress, brings his new, much younger, still-virgin wife (Phillipa Soo), and his seminarian son (Matt Dengler) for a weekend in the country. The actress’ current lover, an egomaniac military officer (Graham Rowat), and his long-suffering wife (Kate Baldwin, who happens to be Rowat’s real-life wife) arrive uninvited. “A Little Night Music” is one of Sondheim’s most popular musicals, and aftter a long Broadway run and national tour, it became a less-successful movie, with Elizabeth Taylor as the actress
Desiree. “A Little Night Music” returned triumphantly to Broadway with Catherine Zeta Jones and Angela Lansbury, followed by Bernadette Peters and Elaine Stritch. Berkshire Theatre Group’s production at the Colonial Theatre in Pittsfield (June 30-July 19), brings some of Broadway’s big musical theatre people to the Berkshires.

A Maguire at a rehearsal of “A Little Night Music.” Jewish milkman and his wife raise five daughters, who each test the boundaries of tradition, as they try to forge out happy lives in a changing world. Goodspeed Musicals gives “Fiddler” a 50th anniversary production (June 27-September 7). What sets this musical apart, aside from it’s multi-year performance run on Broadway, successful revivals, a great film adaptation, and numerous productions on schools and community theatre...is a taut story, a haunting score (including “Sunrise, Sunset”...the popular wedding song in many cultures) and unforgettable characters. “Fiddler on the Roof” was the first musical on Broadway to surpass 3,000 performances. It was nominated for ten Tony Awards, winning nine, including Best Musical, score, book, direction and choreography. It spawned four Broadway revivals, and a successful 1971 film adaptation. The show has enjoyed enduring international popularity. Rob Ruggiero, Artistic Director of Hartford’s TheaterWorks, directs. He’s responsible for last season’s most satisfying “The Most Happy Fella” at Goodspeed, “Ella”, the musical bio of Ella Fitzgerald, on national tour, and a host of other musicals at theatres nationwide. He directed Kathleen Turner on Broadway in “High”, and Valerie Harper on Broadway in “Looped”. Parker Esse, who choreographed Ruggeiro’s most satisfying “The Most Happy Fella” at Goodspeed last season, stages “Fiddler on the Roof”. Adam Heller plays Tevye, the milk man with five daughters. Lori Wilner plays Golde, his wife, and Cheryl Stern plays Yente, the matchmaker (the role that made Bea Arthur a household name.). An interesting side note about “Fiddler on The Roof”: during it’s original Broadway run, Adrienne Barbeau (Bea Arthur’s daughter on “Maude”), Bette Midler, and Pia Zadora played Tevye’s daughters; the musical’s original Golde, Maria Karnilova, was married to George S. Irving, the actor from Springfield, MA. For tickets: 860-873-8668 or www.goodspeed.org See Arts Beat, Page 7

Kids display artwork at WSU WESTFIELD — As part of its 175th Anniversary celebration, Westfield State University is showcasing the owl paintings of 14 second graders from Highland Elementary School and displaying them in the lobby of the Horace Mann Building as a Painted Owls exhibit. The artwork is from the second grade classes taught by Kathy Knapik and Kate Wailgum and led by art teacher Lori Isler. Students worked on their projects throughout the course of the school year. The paintings were originally displayed at the City Wide Art Show in Westfield. Michael Knapik, executive director for University Advancement, noticed the paintings at the show and invited the teachers to bring their students’ artwork to campus as a celebration of Westfield State’s 175th Anniversary. The mascot for Westfield State University is Nestor the Owl, so Knapik thought the paintings would be a good fit. The contributing artists are: Julianna Artemenko, Vladimir Bardakov, Anthony Bettro, Samuel Bucalov, Gina Brock, Mayesh Darjee, Teagan Ives, Koda Jacque, Dylan Morgan, Nathanael Lilly, Lena Olieyevskaya, Victoria Panasyuk, Alexs Stvetsov, and Ruslan Tabolich. “Expression of creativity is an integral part of the university experience and we appreciate the opportunity to connect with students at every age. More importantly, we appreciate the second graders sharing their time and talent with us. It has greatly brightened up the lobby at the Horace Mann Center,” said Michael Knapik. Kathy Knapik, whose class consists of Sheltered English Immersion (SEI) students, said that displaying their artwork on campus encourages her students to aim high. “It’s exciting for any child to have an experience like this, but for my young English Language Learner students - this opens up a whole new world,” said Kathy Knapik. “My hope is they will bring their families back to Horace Mann to see their artwork, and maybe this will inspire these children and their siblings to realize that college is a realistic goal for their future.”

Kathy Knapik and Kate Wailgum brought both of their classes to campus on Monday, June 23to see their artwork displayed. The students enjoyed refreshments and greetings from Westfield State University President Elizabeth Preston and the university’s mascot that inspired the collaboration, Nestor the Owl. The Painted Owls exhibit will remain on display until the end of July. Bringing the owl paintings to campus was made possible by the collaboration of Michael Knapik, Faith Lund, Holly Robbins, Kathy Knapik, and Kate Wailgum. Celebrating 175 years: 2013-2014 During 2013-2014 academic year, Westfield State University celebrates the 175th anniversary of its founding by Horace Mann as “The People’s College”. A series of events, lectures and discussions will be held throughout the year-long milestone that speak to the spirit in which the University was founded.

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

ZBA Continued from Page 1 “To my thinking anything that prevents modernization of a house is a hardship,” Newman said ZBA Chairman Michael Parent said the standard for issuing a variance is much more restricted than the standards for a special permit. ZBA Chairman Michael Parent said that the criterion to meet the standards to grant a variance is intentionally made much more stringent under the Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 40A, Section 10, Which reads: Section 10. The permit granting authority shall have the power after public hearing for which notice has been given by publication and posting as provided in section eleven and by mailing to all parties in interest to grant upon appeal or upon petition with respect to particular land or structures a variance from the terms of the applicable zoning ordinance or by-law where such permit granting authority specifically finds that owing to circumstances relating to the soil conditions, shape, or topography of such land or structures and especially affecting such land or structures but not affecting generally the zoning district in which it is located, a literal enforcement of the provisions of the ordinance or by-law would involve substantial hardship, financial or otherwise, to the petitioner or appellant, and that desirable relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and without nullifying or substantially derogating from the intent or purpose of such ordinance or by-law. Except where local ordinances or by-laws shall expressly permit variances for use, no vari-

One condition is that time and of use, including the continued existence of any particular structures but excluding any condition, safeguards or limitation based upon the continued ownership of the land or structures to which the variance pertains by the applicant, petitioner or any owner.
Licenses Continued from Page 5 “Under current law ... restaurateurs, and the broader economic development which they unlock, are subject to the unpredictable, time-consuming process of petitioning the Legislature for a new license,” the mayors wrote. “The governor’s proposal embraces the notion that local decision-makers are best equipped to make responsible decisions about liquor licenses in their communities.” Patrick included the proposal in an economic development package, but House Speaker Robert DeLeo declined to include the liquor license overhaul in the House version of the economic development bill. Not everyone likes Patrick’s plan. Among the skeptics are some current liquor license holders, who argue that a flood of additional licenses could threaten their businesses. Massachusetts Restaurant Association President Bob Luz has said that while restaurants are generally supportive of increasing license availability and expediting the process, he remains concerned about the effect that would have on existing owners “who may have paid a far steeper price due to current market restrictions.”
Mass. college selling campus house for $1 NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (AP) — Smith College is selling an on-campus house for $1 — but there is a catch. The buyer must pay to have the house moved off the Northampton, Massachusetts, campus, and that is expected to cost about $70,000. That doesn’t even include the cost of a plot of land to move the house to, or the cost of hooking up the water, electricity and other utilities. A school official tells The Daily Hampshire Gazette (http://bit.ly/TAj6xv ) the 2,332-square-foot structure built in 1860 was used as rental housing for faculty until the college decided to build new apartment-style student housing in its place. He says the four-bedroom house is in pristine condition. It has two full bathrooms, two fireplaces and historic woodworking.
Patrick has said removing the cap on liquor licenses is part of what he sees as a wider effort to spur development and add jobs. “If we are really serious about growing opportunity and accomplishing that by growing the economy, then we’ve just got to make it simpler to make
their investment decisions and get on with it,” he said last month. Last year alone, lawmakers passed at least 18 separate bills designed to allow communities from Fairhaven to Fitchburg to grant an additional liquor license to a specific business.
dence. Mary Florek said the couple purchased the farmhouse at 840 Granville Road, which has been in the Florek family for four generations, in 2012 and that her father-in-law moved into an in-law apartment her brother-inlaw, who resides a short distance down Granville Road, constructed last year. The couple currently lives at 133 Granville Road but intends
to move to the farmhouse after it has been renovated. Florek said that her husband and son will continue to operate the farm and that they have already begun the renovation project by removing a barn located to the rear of the house structure. The ZBA voted 3-0 to grant the special permit to allow the conversion to a two-family residence.

National, American All-Stars soar By Chris Putz Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The temperatures are not the only thing heating up. The Westfield Little League National AllStars (11-12-year-olds) opened district play with the long ball, and a resounding 13-3 win over Northampton Wednesday night at Paper Mill Field. The Whip City’s Americans routed Northampton Gold, 14-1. The Nationals clubbed two home runs, and a big extra base hit. Kevin Palin bashed a three-run homer in the sixth, Ethan Flaherty clubbed a two-run
dinger, and Jack Masciadrelli hit a two-run triple. Jack Lamirande completed a game-ending double play for the local Nationals.

The Americans’ offense started slowly, and trailed 1-0 early following a run from Northampton’s Kahiz Supinski on a passed ball. The Westfield hitting and running attack took over. The Americans scored four runs in the third inning, plus five each in the fourth and fifth. After reaching base on a brilliant bunt down the first base line and working his way to third with a steal and Matthew Pelletier grounder, Koziol stole home to begin the
scoring barrage. Koziol (2-for-3), Matt Pelletier (3-for-4), Scanlon (3-for-4), and Tony Torres (3-for-4) fueled the Westfield offense. The Americans did not commit an error. The Westfield Americans will next travel to Gateway June 28. First pitch is at 3:30 p.m. PLAYOFF NOTES: It figures to be another busy sports night Thursday as the Westfield American All-Stars host Southampton and Westfield National All-Stars host Gateway at 6 p.m., while Babe Ruth hosts back-to-back Cup games at 5:30 and 7 p.m. The Westfield Americans Little League Baseball 11-12-yearolds huddle up in between innings.

Westfield Post 124 falls in walk-off against East Springfield
>>>>>>>>>>
Wednesday night at the hands of East Springfield Post 420. Joe Adona’s sacrifice fly in the bottom half of the seventh inning capped off a tight ballgame and gave the squad made up mostly of
Western Massachusetts Division 1 champion Cathedral High School players a big 3-2 win. Westfield (8-2) became the last local team to acquire their second loss of the season, but jumped ahead
1-0 after two innings, thanks to an errant pick-off attempt, allowing Chris Riga, who tripled to start the rally, to score from third base. Post 124 went up 2-1 late in the game, but a couple costly errors
aided Post 420’s comeback. The Whip City squad continues this current tough stretch of games Friday night against Greenfield at Hagan Field on the campus of Westfield State University.

Cortina Tile forces finale By Robby Veronesi WNG Intern WESTFIELD – With massive thunderstorms threatening the area, No. 2 Cortina Tile struck with four runs in the top of the ninth inning to break the deadlock Wednesday night, defeating No. 1 Berkshire Insurance Group 7-3 in the Amanti Cup championship. Starting catcher Jack Yvon knocked in four runs and earned the win by throwing three shutout innings to help force a winner-takeall showdown Thursday at Bullens Field. “They came here knowing that they had win to play tomorrow. It’s all about getting to the finals,” said Coach Tom Fanion. “What a great game, both ways. That’s the way baseball should be played: a lot of hits, a lot of great fielding and a lot of great pitching.” John Daley, Aidan Dunn and Yvon scored six of the seven runs for the visitors, who finally got to relief pitcher Kyle Roberts, who was pitching his fourth inning for B.I.G. With one out, Ryan Rix and Daley walked and Dunn blooped a single to load the bases for Yvon. RBI walks from Yvon and Chris Boydin put Cortina ahead, while a sacrifice fly from Spencer Cloutier and a wild pitch broke the inning open. Yvon accounted for the game’s first three RBIs, highlighted by a two-run double in the first inning, plating Daley and Dunn. “I was just trying to go out there and get a nice little hit and chipped
away,” said Yvon. “We knew that in the beginning that we only needed one. We got four and we came together as a group and did the job.” B.I.G made their comeback in the home half of the sixth inning. Down 3-1, hits from Joe Raco and Billy Mollison started the one-out rally. Parker Kelley walked to load the bases and Brian Campbell walked home Raco, cutting the deficit to 3-2. Mollison would come in to score on a dropped infield fly, sliding just under the catcher’s tag and tying the score, much to half of the crowd’s irate dismay. Lost in the wild back-and-forth nature of the game was the Cortina pitching prowess. Yvon closed the game by striking out the side as part of three shutdown innings, but Boydin earned the start and held a potent B.I.G. lineup to one hit through his four innings of work, forcing his defense to make many key plays. “I went out there and I just wanted to throw strikes,” said Boydin. “(I) didn’t let the pressure get to me and just had a heck of a game.” Focus now shifts to 5:30 p.m. Thursday night, where the top two seeds in the 13 and 14-year-old Babe Ruth Division will play one more time for the championship. The goal is very simple. “We’re all pumped,” said Cortina Tile first baseman Steve McKenna, left, attempts Boydin. “We want to get this done.” Berkshire Insurance Group baserunner James Hagan, the out on Berkshire Insurance Group baserunner James The Dan Welch City Cup cham- right, moves safely into third base during last night’s Babe Hagan.

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
What do you say? Dear Annie: My husband had an affair for three years. I had no idea this was going on until he told me and filed for divorce. We have two teenage children, and I haven’t talked very much with them about the situation. I’ve never mentioned his girlfriend. I don’t even know whether he is still seeing the woman. My daughter, who is 18, told me that she’s been asked by others whether one of us cheated and that’s why we are divorcing. I skirted the question and asked how she replied to this, and she said, “I told them it was none of their business.” She never asked me outright whether this is what happened in our case, so I didn’t tell her. I don’t know whether or not I should say anything. Should I tell them to ask their father? After all, it’s not really my information to share. What happens if it comes up later and Dad decides to bring his girlfriend to a family event? That would devastate me. I think it would be good to have all of the information out in the open before that happens. My daughter has a great deal of disdain for people who cheat on their spouses, and I don’t want to hurt the excellent relationship she now has with her father. The two of them have become very close since we separated, and I’m glad about that. Part of me wants to tell my children now and get it out of the way. I don’t want my daughter to think I’m giving her information in order to “get her on my side.” But I also don’t want her to be angry with me for withholding information that other family members know about. What do you say? -- Worrier Dear Worrier: If your daughter asks directly whether one of you cheated, you should be honest without sounding bitter. But it seems as though she may not actually want to know. If her fears are confirmed, she may feel forced to distance herself from Dad. Should she find out later from other relatives and blame you for withholding the information, simply tell her that you didn’t want to damage the close relationship she had with her father, which is a commendable stance to take. We think she will forgive you. Dear Annie: My husband and I recently received an invitation from “Debbie” to a cocktail party celebrating her high school graduation. We don’t know Debbie, but her grandmother used to work for our business. We aren’t sure how to respond. Normally a gift is expected, yet we don’t feel it’s appropriate, being that we have never met her and don’t know her parents, either. Is it appropriate to just send a card? Do we just ignore the invitation? -- Questioning Con-grad-ulations Dear Questioning: Please don’t ignore an invitation to any event where the hostess may be counting heads to ensure sufficient food and drink. But you are not obligated to give a graduation gift to someone so distantly connected. A card of congratulations is perfectly appropriate and more than enough. Dear Annie: I read your column every day and have felt the pain of so many parents whose children are estranged. When my wife and I separated a decade ago, my daughter refused to communicate with me. Birthday cards and gifts were returned unopened. I finally received a terse reply to an email, saying she does not want anything more to do with me. She will not tell me her reasons. She also won’t tell her mother or brother so they could pass the information on to me. This has been hurtful, but I have accepted her decision. I honestly believe the children who treat their parents or grandparents this way are the losers. I am now happily remarried to a wonderful woman and have two great stepdaughters who love me very much. My life is wonderful. -- A Happy Old Man Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
HINTS FROM HELOISE Honey, What a Mess! Dear Heloise: The container that holds HONEY LEAKED all over my kitchen-cabinet shelf. The shelf is plastic, and I can’t take it out of the cabinet. How can I clean this mess? -- Julie P. in Oregon Start by taking everything off the shelf and any lower shelves. Next, boil some water and pour it over every place on the shelf that has sticky patches of honey. Cover the water and honey with paper towels. Continue to add more boiling water until the towels are completely soaked. Finally, cover the entire area with plastic wrap. After about 10 or 15 minutes of letting the water and paper towels sit (until the honey is softened), you should be able to remove the paper towels, plastic wrap and honey all at once. For stubborn, stuck-on spots, you may need to repeat the process. -- Heloise TEMPORARY TAG Dear Heloise: I recently went on a trip, and my daughter kept my dog. I was worried that if something happened and my dog got out, she wouldn’t be able to get ahold of me. I went to a large pet-supply store, which had a machine that makes tags in a few minutes. I made one that had my daughter’s information on it. Before I left on my trip, I traded out the tags on my dog’s collar. That way, if something happened and he got picked up, they would call my daughter first. -- Vicky in Louisiana

YOUR HOROSCOPE Contract Bridge By Jaqueline Bigar
DOG EAT DOUG
Brian Anderson
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, June 26, 2014: This year you need to pull back and listen to yourself more often. You are full of questions, nearly like a child seeking answers. To others, your questioning could be worrisome or exhausting. Try to center yourself, and you might get a better reception. If you are single, you could meet someone of interest after July. Let a new relationship flow naturally. If you are attached, the two of you start acting like two peas in a pod. You will enjoy each other’s company more than you have in a long while.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Others could find you to be unusually inquisitive, as you seek out many answers. You might get a lot more information than you originally had anticipated. Some of what is shared could be significant at a later point. Tonight: Make it an early night. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You might be trying to solidify a money matter. You could feel out of sorts when dealing with someone who does not understand the liabilities of a situation, but who considers him- or herself an expert. Move on, and you will be happier. Tonight: Your treat. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Find out what is happening with someone who might be intentionally avoiding you. Consider an opportunity elsewhere. Let go of the present problem, and make it a non-issue. You will be valued more if you leave this situation behind. Tonight: Buy a token of affection. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might feel overwhelmed by a situation. Recognize that you have been overthinking it. Listen to news with a more open mind, as you will need to gain a different perspective. Talk to others, and curb a need to always be right. Tonight: Nap, then decide. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Someone will be very inquisitive, and he or she could evoke your suspicions. This person doesn’t have a deep motive, but is simply curious. You might not be aware of the impression you make on others. You are far more intriguing than you realize. Tonight: Follow your friends. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You will want to rethink a decision with an eye on expenses. You have the capacity to want to spend, but you also are able say “no.” A parent might share his or her opinions and put you in a difficult situation. Make plans later in the day. Tonight: Where your friends are. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You could be overwhelmed by an option that you had not even considered. Reach out for more information, and touch base with someone at a distance. This person has a lot of questions for you that you will need to answer. Tonight: Consider a unique idea. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might be confused by what someone is saying. Understand that this person has difficulty relating to others. Try to help him or her focus on the main issues. You also could decide not to deal with this situation right now. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to allow someone who feels as if he or she has the most understanding to come up with an idea. Listen to news with an open mind. Others keep seeking you out; let them take the lead. Tonight: Go with the best idea! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Pace yourself, and complete as much as you can. A brainstorming session could throw you off schedule, but it will be worth it. What emerges as a result of this conversation could lead to a great idea. You will want to mull this conversation over several times. Tonight: Play it relaxed. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Allow your ingenuity to come out. Listen to news, even if you do not think you will like what you hear. Do not forget about a loved one -- your calls mean a lot to this person. Your advice is likely to help him or her get past a hassle. Tonight: Slow down just a little. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Stay more centered with a family member. A real estate matter might come to the forefront. You could hear a

lot of good news when you decide to open up a conversation. Your authenticity marks your interpersonal interactions. Tonight: Head out on the town.

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.
