WSU announces installation of security cameras

104th ANG member reportedly under investigation

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD/CHICOPEE— According to representatives from the Air National Guard’s 104th Fighter Wing at Barnes, one of their members is reportedly under investigation by police.

A statement from the 104th Fighter Wing Commander Col. James Suhr reported that police were investigating a member of the 104th Fighter Wing. Chicopee Police Officer Mike Wilk reported that the Chicopee and State Police are investigating someone after they received a disk of photographs from a resident in Chicopee who was concerned by the pictures. The member was not identified by police or the 104th Fighter Wing.

“The 104th Fighter Wing was recently contacted by local law enforcement and informed that one of our members is under investigation,” according to the statement provided from Suhr.

The statement continued, “The Massachusetts National Guard has zero tolerance for criminal activity and takes this very seriously. The 104th Fighter Wing is fully cooperating with local authorities and is committed to a timely and complete investigation.”

In the statement, it said no further information could be provided at this point.

According to Wilk, a female resident in Chicopee had provided police in that city with a disk of photographs on Nov. 18. Wilk said that the pictures “were of concern” to the woman. She had reportedly discovered them in her home, according to Wilk.

Wilk said that Chicopee Police Detectives and the Massachusetts State Police “are currently investigating and working to identify the people on the disks and speak with them.”

Wilk said that the investigation is still in its initial phase and it is too early to tell whether charges will be filed.

“It’s way too early to even say who and if any charges are applicable at this time. As the investigation progresses that could change,” he said.

Zuber’s closes after over two decades

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—After serving Westfield area residents for over two decades, Zuber’s Ice Cream and Deli is closing.

The shop is holding its final day of business today and with the closing of the shop, owner Mike Zuber will also retire. The business has been a place for children to get free cookies, for Westfield youth sports to get financial support and for residents to gather for a

sandwich, ice cream cone or coffee for 22 years. The decision is a difficult one for Zuber, but one he felt he had to make.

“My heart’s telling me not to go out of business but my brain is telling me to close,” Zuber said. “It’s tugging at my heartstrings. Thank you to all the loyal customers and employees.”

Zuber’s has spent the last 22 years in the city between two locations—10 See Zuber’s Closes, Page 8

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—Westfield State University President Ramon S. Torrecilha has announced that the university will be moving forward with the installation of security cameras on the school’s property.

Torrecilha announced that Westfield State University (WSU) will install over 400 security cameras throughout the campus, with a focus on residence halls where students live on-campus, according to a statement released by the university. The cameras come following alleged incidents over the past several months of racist and hate-based messages and graffiti being reported, as well as a campus-wide shutdown following a report of a suspicious person among other incidents.

“I am pleased to announce that Westfield State University is moving forward with the installation of security cameras,” Torrecilha said in a statement Wednesday afternoon. “As soon as December 4, more than 400 security cameras will be mounted throughout University property, with a focus on the residence halls.”

According to Tricia Oliver, Communications Manager for WSU, the school’s Board of Trustees unanimously authorized the cameras Wednesday afternoon, as well.

Torrecilha said in the statement that the effort is to provide an additional way to “address, and possibly prevent, the continuation of hateful and destructive acts that have disrupted our living and learning environment.”

In addition, Torrecilha said that a log established listing events “related to the bias incidents.” The log is being headed by the school’s Bias Incident Response Team, which was established in the wake of the reports.

On the log, there are currently 22 different incidents listed since Sept. 16, which include reports of racist and sexist notes, among other items, with the latest incident being reported on Nov. 29. The log can be found online at http:// www.westfield.ma.edu/bias-incident-response-team/incident-log.

WE2BA continues to forge strong alliances between the business community and schools

Westfield Tech senior Heather Lannon spoke about her co-op experience at Aero Fastener.

By AMY PORTER Correspondent WESTFIELD – 30 members of the Westfield Education 2 Business Alliance (WE2BA) met on Thursday morning at the Westfield Gas & Electric Operations Center on Turnpike Industrial Road. Kate Phelon, Executive Director of the Greater Westfield Chamber of Commerce welcomed the group of school administrators and members of the business community. WE2BA Co-Chair Westfield Public Schools Superintendent Stefan Czaporowski could not attend the meeting.

Phelon introduced Rob Ollari from Westfield Technical Academy to speak to the group about the school’s cooperative education and internship programs. Ollari said the goal of the co-ops is workforce development, fitting into the goals of the alliance to prepare students for the work environment.

Business Tech senior Heather Lannon spoke about her co-op at Aero Fastener in Westfield. Lannon said she works on Excel spreadsheets, and the company works around her schedule which is quite busy with sports and dual enrollment college courses. “I love my job, I love everyone I work with,” Lannon

said.

Lannon said that WTA helped to prepare her for the co-op through mock interviews, and preparing a portfolio which includes resumes, letters of recommendation and work the students have done “You can easily go in and say you can do it, but to physically show your work – you leave 4, 5 steps ahead of everyone,” she said. She said during the mock interviews, students also work on handshakes, eye contact, and overcoming nervous habits.

Man seen painting cityscape in downtown Westfield

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD — Self-taught artist Norman Lacombe was in downtown Westfield Wednesday afternoon painting a cityscape of the area.

Lacombe, who has been painting for about 20 years, could be seen in front of Rosewood Home and Gifts on Elm Street Wednesday during the unusually warm and bright late-November afternoon. He was painting a picture of a portion of the downtown area with the sun to his back.

“Beauty rests on the canvas,” Lacombe said in between paint strokes and conversation Wednesday afternoon.

The picture was called “Downtown Westfield Cityscape,” and was painted with aqua oil on Masonite board in what Lacombe said was an impressionist style.

Lacombe, who is also a craftsman that works with wood and also creates items like easels and steamships, said that he was drawn to the scene because of the view.

“I just think it is an interesting site with the steeple,” he said. “The thing about art is you see things differently that you don’t see until you draw or paint.”

According to Lacombe, the play of light and dark in the view was also what

ARTIST NORMAN LACOMBE inspired him.

“It’s all about balancing the light and the dark,” he said.

Lacombe, at about 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, was there for about an hour and a half with his paints, masonite board and his 25-year-old

easel that he first got in New York City.

“It’s been good to me, a good friend,” Lacombe said of the easel.

Lacombe said that in addition to the spot on Wednesday, he has also painted many times inside Grandmothers Garden in Westfield.

State senate president to address newspaper publishers group BOSTON (AP) — Democratic Massachusetts Senate President Stan Rosenberg is set to address the annual meeting of the Massachusetts Newspaper Publishers Association at a time of increased scrutiny of the public's access to the inner workings of government.

Lawmakers last year approved a bill, signed by Republican Gov. Charlie Baker, designed to strengthen the state's public records law, including setting stricter timetables for state agencies and municipalities to respond to public records requests.

One thing the new law didn't do is apply the public records requirements to the Legislature, governor's office and judiciary, which are currently exempted.

The law instead required lawmakers to study the issue and produce a report by the end of the year. By midNovember, the commission charged with producing the report hadn't met.

Rosenberg will address the association Thursday.

Boston’s City Council approves ban on plastic shopping bags BOSTON (AP) — The Boston City Council voted unanimously Wednesday to ban single-use plastic shopping bags throughout the city.

The proposal by Councilor Matt O'Malley, a Democrat, bans flimsy plastic bags and requires businesses to charge no less than 5 cents for other types of checkout bags, including reusable bags, compostable plastic bags and recyclable paper bags.

Businesses would keep all proceeds from the bag fee.

The measure still requires approval from Mayor Marty Walsh, who said Wednesday he's still reviewing it.

Walsh, also a Democrat, opposed a version of the ban last year, saying it would negatively impact small businesses and low-income families.

The American Progressive Bag Alliance, which represents U.S. plastic bag makers, called on Walsh to veto the ordinance, which would take effect a year from its passage and would allow businesses to seek temporary exemptions. The alliance said the ordinance would encourage the use of products that are "worse for the environment" than the bags the council is banning.

The Conservation Law Foundation, which supports the proposal, said more than 350 million single-use plastic bags are used in Boston each year, most of them ending up in landfills or as litter on the streets.

O'Malley, arguing for his proposal Wednesday, said residents are already indirectly paying for plastic bags since businesses factor their cost into their bottom lines and public works crews have to clear them from parks, waterways and storm drains.

The council had been weighing a citywide plastic bag ban for more than a year.

Neighboring Cambridge, Somerville and Brookline are among 59 communities statewide that have imposed fees or limits on plastic bags.

westfieldbank.com Man accidentally shoots grandson at target practice SOUTHBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — Police in Massachusetts say a 68-year-old man apparently accidentally shot his grandson in the chest during target practice when the younger man stepped in front his grandfather just as he fired.

Southbridge police said on Facebook that the 22-year-old grandson was taken to the hospital after the shooting at about 3:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Responding officers were told that the men were shooting .22-caliber rifles. The younger man was conscious and kept telling police it wasn't his grandfather's fault.

The grandfather was distraught.

Police say it does not appear any laws were broken, but the investigation remains open. No names were released because no one has been criminally charged, but police say the older man is from Dudley and his grandson is from Webster.

Man who recorded people in bathroom gets 5-year sentence PITTSFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A New York man who secretly recorded 10 adults and five children using the bathroom at a public park in Massachusetts has been sentenced to up to five years in prison.

Sam Wassilie apologized at sentencing Wednesday in Berkshire Superior Court, saying he suffered from a "crippling" sex addiction that had ruined his life and cost him his job and family.

The Berkshire Eagle reports he was convicted Nov. 9 of 10 counts of video recording people nude or partially nude, and five counts of video recording sexual parts of children.

Prosecutors say the 39-year-old Hudson, New York, man set up a cellphone to record people using the shared bathroom at Pinegrove Park in Dalton in the fall of 2014.

The park has ball fields, basketball courts and a playground.

Kushner questioned by Mueller’s team about Flynn WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner has been questioned by special counsel Robert Mueller's team of investigators about former national security adviser Michael Flynn, a person familiar with the investigation confirmed to The Associated Press.

The person said Wednesday that the questioning of Kushner earlier this month took about 90 minutes or less and was aimed in part at establishing whether Kushner had any information on Flynn that might be exculpatory. The person said multiple White House witnesses have been asked about their knowledge of Flynn, who was forced to resign from his national security adviser job at the White House in February after officials concluded he had misled them about his contacts with the Russian ambassador.

The confirmation of Kushner's interview came as prosecutors working for Mueller postponed grand jury testimony related to Flynn's private business dealings.

The reason for the postponement was not immediately clear, but it comes one week after attorneys for Flynn alerted Trump's legal team that they could no longer share information about the case.

That discussion between lawyers was widely seen as a possible indication that Flynn was moving to cooperate with Mueller's investigation or attempting to negotiate a deal for himself.

An attorney for Flynn, Robert Kelner, did not immediately respond to email and phone messages Wednesday afternoon. Peter Carr, a spokesman for Mueller, declined comment.

In a statement, Kushner's attorney, Abbe Lowell, said, "Mr. Kushner has voluntarily cooperated with all relevant inquiries and will continue to do so."

The details of Kushner's questioning and the postponement of the grand jury testimony were confirmed by people familiar with Mueller's investigation. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to publicly discuss the ongoing investigation.

The grand testimony that had been scheduled for the coming days related to Flynn's firm, Flynn Intel Group, its work with a public relations firm and interactions with congressional staff, one of the people said.

Mueller and the FBI have been interested in hearing from employees at the public relations firm, SGR LLC, because of the firm's work with Flynn Intel Group. SGR LLC, which does business as Sphere Consulting, did public relations work on a film Flynn Intel Group was working on about Turkish cleric Fethullah Gulen. The film was never completed.

Mueller was appointed by the Justice Department in May to oversee an investigation into potential coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. The investigation, which produced its first criminal charges last month against three former Trump campaign officials, incorporated an earlier FBI inquiry into Flynn's lobbying and investigative research work on behalf of a Turkish businessman. Flynn's firm was paid $530,000 for the work.

Sphere employees have cooperated for months with Mueller's investigation, including by turning over documents requested by investigators and sitting for voluntary interviews.

An October 2016 meeting that was expected to be the subject of the grand jury testimony has been described as a bait-and-switch carried out on behalf of Flynn's firm.

As the AP reported in March , Flynn's business partner, Bijan Kian , invited a representative of the House Homeland Security Committee to Flynn Intel's offices in Alexandria, Virginia, to discuss secure communications products. But after discussing the products, the session quickly turned into a lobbying pitch that mirrored Turkish government talking points.

Trump lashes out at wrong Theresa May on Twitter WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is lashing out at British Prime Minister Theresa May in a dispute over his tweets. Problem is, he initially picked on the wrong Theresa May. Trump was responding to May's criticism of his decision to tweet anti-Muslim videos.

Online archives of Trump's tweets show the president tweeted Wednesday night to a Twitter user with the handle @ theresamay. That user is identified as a woman with a different last name who has only six followers.

That tweet was soon deleted and Trump sent a new message to May's correct Twitter handle, @theresa_may. He told May not to focus on him and instead worry about "destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom."

US, China hold low-key military talks amid NKorea tensions

By MATTHEW PENNINGTON Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. and Chinese generals engaged in an unusual set of security talks on Wednesday, just hours after North Korea's most powerful missile test yet, focused on how the mighty American and Chinese militaries might communicate in a crisis.

As President Donald Trump greeted the North's launching of another intercontinental ballistic missile with familiar demands for China to get tougher with its ally, the low-profile and unpublicized meeting at the National Defense University in Washington was taking place amid signs China is more willing at this time to discuss how the two world powers would manage an even worse emergency on the divided Korean Peninsula.

The Pentagon stressed the talks were scheduled long before North Korea's surprise missile launch in the early hours Wednesday in Asia. Officials insisted the dialogue wasn't centered on North Korea or anything else in particular.

Trump has vowed to prevent North Korea from having the capability to strike the U.S. mainland with a nuclear-tipped missile — using military force if necessary. He is running out of time: Some experts said the missile fired on a high trajectory that splashed down in the Sea of Japan showed North Korea's ability to strike Washington and the entire U.S. Eastern Seaboard.

The threat of a military confrontation is making China rethink its resistance to discussing contingencies involving North Korea, according to experts. Such discussions have long been off-limits for Beijing, which fought on North Korea's side against the United States in the 1950-53 Korean War and remains its treaty ally.

In a phone conversation with Trump on Wednesday, Chinese President Xi Jinping reiterated his desire for a diplomatic resolution to the standoff with North Korea.

Objectives for Wednesday's military consultations appeared modest.

"The engagement will serve as an opportunity to discuss how to manage crises, prevent miscalculations, and reduce the risk of misunderstanding," the office of Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told The Associated Press in a statement.

The U.S. and China agreed on the talks when Dunford met with his Chinese counterpart in Beijing in August. While in China, Dunford observed a Chinese military drill at Shenyang, about 120 miles from the North Korean border — an unusual stop for an official visit.

Wednesday's talks were being led by Lt. Gen. Richard Clarke, the Joint Chiefs' planning director, and Maj. Gen. Shao Yuanming, a senior Chinese military official. They're especially noteworthy given the deep strategic mistrust between the U.S. and China, and Beijing's increasing challenge to America's post-World War II dominance in the Asia-Pacific.

China has been more explicit in saying what the talks are about.

Yao Yunzhu, a retired general who specializes in U.S.-Chinese defense relations at China's Academy of Military Science, said

this summer they should include Northeast Asia, where North Korea is located. She also mentioned the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea. Yun Sun, an expert on Chinese foreign policy at the Stimson Center think tank, said Dunford raised North Korean contingencies at the August meeting and the two sides discussed the potential danger of a conflict or a nuclear disaster. U.S. officials wouldn't confirm that account. Sun said she anticipated those talks would continue Wednesday.

While such discussions have occurred in recent years among non-government experts, they hadn't yet happened at official levels.

However, Oriana Skylar Mastro, a Georgetown University professor, said her Chinese contacts indicated willingness to broach North Korea contingencies in the military dialogue.

"Things are shifting right now in both China and the United States. There seems to be an opening," said Mastro. She expected the talks would still be at a preliminary stage.

"This type of discussion is difficult among friends. It's much more difficult between potential adversaries, but absolutely necessary," Mastro said. "The type of war that might break out (with North Korea) is one that would be more costly than anything that generations of Americans have experienced."

Political limitations exist on both sides, making some experts skeptical that progress would be made or even that North Korean contingencies would be addressed at all. The U.S. must be wary of offending South Korea, which isn't in the dialogue. China risks further alienating a paranoid ally at a time Beijing is supporting increasingly tough U.N. sanctions on North Korea's economy in response to its missile and nuclear tests.

"The Chinese side is very worried that if North Korea gets word it might turn them into a hostile neighbor," said Frank Aum, a former Pentagon adviser on North Korea.

Chinese opinions are divided. But in a sign of growing antipathy toward Pyongyang, some Chinese intellectuals have called for radical policy change. Not only is North Korea a liability for China's global standing, it also poses a nuclear risk on its doorstep.

A collapse of North Korea's state, or another crisis, could push Beijing into conflict with the U.S. and South Korea. Bonnie Glaser, an Asia expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, mentioned North Korean nuclear facilities within 50 miles of the Chinese border, and said both sides could try to secure loose nukes.

There have been grave miscommunications before. Abraham Denmark, a former senior U.S. military official for East Asia, cited the run-up to the Korean War, when Washington thought Beijing knew it would not seek to invade China; the Chinese thought the Americans knew that if U.S. forces advanced north of the 38th parallel into North Korea, China would intervene.

"Both sides at the time thought that they were being extremely clear, but neither side had any idea of what was going on," Denmark said. "That suggests to me that both sides need to be very up front with one another."

Police arrest bank robbery suspect hiding in port-a-potty REVERE, Mass. (AP) — A bank robbery suspect is in police custody after authorities say he tried to make a smelly escape in a portable toilet.

Police say 41-year-old Steven Spolidoro, of Woburn, walked into a Revere bank around 1 p.m. Wednesday and demanded money. He allegedly fled the bank with about $1,000 cash.

An off-duty officer in the area provided authorities with a description of Spolidoro's vehicle. It was spotted in Boston, and police say Spolidoro abandoned his vehicle and ran away on foot.

One officer crashed trying to avoid hitting the man. WCVBTV reports the officer is expected to be OK. Authorities eventually located Spolidoro hiding in a port-apotty near the TD Garden arena.

His arraignment is scheduled for Thursday.

It's unclear whether he has a lawyer.

School takes action after students make racist video BROOKLINE, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts high school says it's pursuing disciplinary action after students were captured making racial slurs in a Snapchat video.

In a letter released Wednesday, Brookline High School officials say two "deeply disturbing" videos were made by current and former students at the school.

WCVB-TV reports the first video captured three boys repeating a racial slur, and it was sent to a member of the school's African-American Scholars. The second video shows white students directing a racial slur toward an African-American driver.

The school says it has identified the individuals in the first video, and it is currently investigating the second video. It has not specified how the students will be disciplined.

At least two teens were Brookline alumni.

The school says they will bring in "community support" Thursday.

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.

Garrison Keillor off the air after misconduct allegations

By JEFF BAENEN Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Garrison Keillor, whose stories of small-town characters entertained legions of public radio listeners for 40 years on "A Prairie Home Companion," became another celebrity felled by allegations of workplace misconduct when Minnesota Public Radio terminated his contracts.

The homegrown humorist told The Associated Press Wednesday he was fired over "a story that I think is more interesting and more complicated than the version MPR heard."

Keillor didn't detail the allegation to AP, but he later told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that he had put his hand on a woman's bare back when trying to console her.

"I meant to pat her back after she told me about her unhappiness, and her shirt was open and my hand went up it about six inches. She recoiled. I apologized," Keillor told the newspaper in an email. "I sent her an email of apology later, and she replied that she had forgiven me and not to think about it.

"We were friends. We continued to be friendly right up until her lawyer called."

MPR said only that it received allegations of "inappropriate behavior" against Keillor last month involving one person who worked with him during his time hosting "A Prairie Home Companion." Keillor retired as host of the radio variety show last year, but continued to work for MPR on various projects.

MPR said it had received no other complaints but had retained an outside law firm that was continuing to investigate.

Later Wednesday, Keillor gave a statement to MPR News saying he had to "respect the privacy of the two employees who have made the allegations." A spokeswoman for MPR's corporate arm didn't immediately respond to questions from AP on whether Keillor was accused of bad behavior with more than one person.

Keillor's hand-picked successor to host the show, mandolinist Chris Thile, tweeted Wednesday he was "in shock" after Keillor's firing. Thile had been a frequent musical guest on the show and said he knew nothing about the allegation, adding: "I trust that the proper steps are being taken."

Sue Scott, who worked on the show as a voice actor for 24 years with Keillor, told the AP she was stunned. She said she saw no evidence of inappropriate behavior from Keillor.

Fans also were shocked. Cindy Dina, of the Minneapolis suburb of Forest Lake, said she frequently listened when Keillor hosted the show and admired him, saying the Minnesota

native was "iconic."

"It's just one more, wow," she said, adding that she hoped the continuous allegations against high-profile men would send a strong message to all men.

Keillor's storytelling earned him comparisons with Mark Twain and Will Rogers. His 1985 best-selling book, "Lake Wobegon Days," landed him on the cover of Time magazine.

"A Prairie Home Companion" was heard by nearly 4 million listeners a week on nearly 700 public radio stations across the U.S. the year before Keillor left as host. The inaugural show — attended by about a dozen people at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota, on July 6, 1974 — is in the Library of Congress' national registry of historic sound recordings.

On Wednesday, Keillor didn't say when the incident with the woman occurred. In his statement to AP, Keillor said it was "poetic irony to be knocked off the air by a story, having told so many of them myself.

"But I'm 75 and don't have any interest in arguing about this.

And I cannot in conscience bring danger to a great organization I've worked hard for since 1969."

His separation from MPR came just days after Keillor, an avowed Democrat, wrote a syndicated column that ridiculed the idea that Minnesota Sen. Al Franken should resign over allegations of sexual harassment.

MPR said it would rename the show now hosted by Thile and end distribution of "The Writer's Almanac," Keillor's daily reading of a poem and telling of literary events. MPR also plans to end rebroadcasts of "The Best of A Prairie Home Companion" hosted by Keillor.

Keillor's "A Prairie Home Companion" aired on Saturdays, featuring tales of his fictional Minnesota hometown of Lake Wobegon "where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average."

The show featured musical acts, folksy humor, parody ads for fake products such as Powdermilk Biscuits and the centerpiece: Keillor delivering a seemingly off-the-cuff monologue, "The News From Lake Wobegon," in his rich baritone voice.

He also has been working on a Lake Wobegon screenplay and a memoir about growing up in Minnesota.

"A person could not hope for more than what I was given," Keillor said in his statement Wednesday to AP. Keillor was scheduled to appear Wednesday evening at a theater in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, along with the folk duo Robin and Linda Williams, but the show was canceled.

In this Feb. 19, 2016 photo, Garrison Keillor uses his phone at the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul to time a promo for an upcoming show. Keillor said Wednesday, Nov. 29, 2017, he has been fired by Minnesota Public Radio over allegations of improper behavior. (Euan Kerr/Minnesota Public Radio via AP) A couple of hours later at a Pittsfield restaurant, he told The Berkshire Eagle that it's "bewildering" that he worked on a show he loved for decades, and "somebody else can torch it in one morning."

Zuber’s Closes

Continued from Page 1

years on Little River Road and the last 12 years at their current location on Southwick Road. The location was chosen because Westfield had become home for Zuber, though he was originally from New York City—a fact represented by his shop’s choice of bagels.

Zuber said that he ended up in Westfield after attending American International College in Springfield during the 1960s. He found his way to Westfield and was working for a period of time at Digital Equipment Corporation, a computer manufacturing company.

However, he had a passion for something else.

“I wanted to own my own business, something that looked interesting,” Zuber said.

“I wanted to work in business myself and got into the bagel, ice cream and deli business,” he said.

Zuber said that another passion drove him, as well.

“My passion is the kids that worked for me,” he said. “That’s been my passion more than my business.”

In addition, Zuber said that youth sports became a focus, with his support going to many different teams over the years in Westfield. Plus, inside the parking lot youth sports teams were regularly having car washes on the weekends to help raise funds for their teams.

Vincent Olinski, a lifelong Westfield resident, said that this was one of the reasons why he supported Zuber for years.

“When I saw Mike over the years fundraising and supporting youth sports, gift certificates, when I saw a guy in town doing that much for the kids in town—that’s someone I want to support,” Olinski said.

“It’s been great, the kids are great. I’m going to miss the regulars the most,” Michelle Parker, a two-year Zuber’s employee, said. “It seems to be a very closeknit community.”

Zuber’s has found its way into the regular routine of many over the years, such as the Liptak family. Several cousins of the family have made Zuber’s a part of their Wednesday routines, meeting for coffee and food in the morning for several years.

“We started coming here eight years ago,” Mary Lou Landis, a member of the Liptak family, said. “We’ve always had so much fun visiting and teasing Mike. We wish him the best.”

Dot Kaleis, another Liptak cousin, said that the weekly excursion became a highlight of her week.

“We’ll have to find another spot that won’t push us out,” she said.

“It’s like having coffee in our kitchen,” Lillian Chistolini, a Liptak family member, said.

But the experience has not been completely great.

When the Westfield Planning Board determined that they would not grant a special permit for the Agawam DogWorks, who was looking to purchase the location for a kennel, Zuber’s plans became derailed.

“I’m exploring my legal options against the planning board for the capricious and arbitrary decision they made,” Zuber said.

Now, Zuber said that he is looking to sell, lease or rent the property, which includes a view overlooking farmland behind the building.

“Because of the view I always thought it would be best for a high-end restaurant, but it could be an apartment or a strip mall,” he said.

“My retirement is invested in this property,” he said.

Zach Holt of the Hampshire Council of Governments speaks to Huntington selectmen about cow power.

Cow Power

Continued from Page 1

Hampshire Power, a program of HCG, is selling power produced by Ag-Grid Energy LLC, an agricultural anaerobic digester of manure and food waste. Through the anaerobic digester, the manure and food waste is converted into bio gas, which then goes through a generator and produces electricity. Ag-Grid is working on the project, which is only available to municipalities, with Rockwood Farms in Granville and Luther Belden Farm in Hatfield.

90% of Huntington’s electricity would be produced by Ag-Grid and 10% would be produced by Eversource, Holt said. Hampshire Power would sell the electricity produced by Ag-Grid to Eversource. The result would be a 15% reduction in the town’s electric bill, for an annual savings of $2,700 to the town, and an estimated savings over 10 years of $30,000. Holt said it would be a guaranteed savings for the town.

Holt said the change would be seamless, and would appear on the Eversource bill as net metering credits. He also talked about the “feel good” part of the project of working with a non-profit, helping dairy farms and taking tons of methane out of the environment. Holt said Huntington would be joining Granville, Hatfield, Hatfield Schools,

Northfield, Shelburne and Westhampton if they choose to participate.

Selectman Darlene McVeigh asked what would happen if “cow power” closes down. Holt said that the program is set up to be very sustainable from day one. However, if a natural disaster were to shut it down, the town wouldn’t get the credit any more.

Selectmen Chair Ed Renauld said that Eversource has been a good partner for the town, responsive and quick to restore power after a storm, and wondered whether that would change. Holt said that Eversource likes the program, and they like working with green energy.

Renauld asked whether it would be legal for a 3-man board to sign a 10-year contract with HCG. Holt said because HCG is a government entity it would be an intergovernmental agreement. He also said that Chapter 25A allows municipalities to enter such agreements for environmental reasons.

Renauld said it sounded like a “win-win,” but he would like to send the contract to the town’s attorney to look over before signing it. He told Holt that they will make a decision at the next meeting on December 13.

Street Names

Continued from Page 1

Although Southwick EMT’s (Emergency Medical Technician) were able to get to the call before Westfield ALS (Advanced Life Support) and take care of the situation, it could have been much more serious.

“But in the end, it could have really been an issue,” said Sgt. Kirk Sanders of the Southwick Police Department, who is the safety officer in town.

Southwick Fire Chief Russ Anderson also stressed how there needs to be a solution to the multiple streets that have the same name.

“We can’t have duplicate names in the system, it creates an issue in the system,” said Anderson.

The other streets that are duplicates are Southwick Hill and Hill Crest.

Moving forward, Sanders and Anderson are in the process of working with the town to change the names of those streets to avoid any confusion, especially during an emergency.

Gingerbread Houses for Teens at the Boys & Girls Library at the Westfield Athenaeum WESTFIELD — Kids ages 12-17 are invited to celebrate the season by building a gingerbread house at the library on December 13 at 3:30. We will provide all the supplies, just bring your creativity.

WE2BA Co-Chair Kate Phelon speaks to business and district leaders on Thursday.

WE2BA “We have some great talent. They can become a pipeline,” Ollari said to the business representatives. He said a lot of their students do take post-graduate courses at Springfield Technical Community College, and then transfer to a four year program.

Other students are interested in going directly to work, he said.

Phelon asked what the requirements are for a student to get a co-op. Ollari said every one of the 12 tech shops is different, but any grade below 70 knocks them off the list. He said students begin co-ops in the second half of their junior year, and can continue throughout their senior year. Ollari said currently they are looking for placements for students in Business Tech, Graphic Communications and Internet Technology.

Peter Taloumis, WTA Career Technical Director said the school is also looking for internship placements for sophomores, which last two to three weeks and are unpaid, and job shadowing at local businesses for a day or two. Businesses that are interested in any of these opportunities can contact Ollari or Taloumis at WTA. Michele Tarbox, who teaches physical education and health at Russell Elementary and Abner Gibbs Schools then spoke about future workforce development beginning with the youngest students. Tarbox said that students are becoming more detached socially as tech-

Continued from Page 1 nology and family structure changes. She said the schools have been using the Second Step program to teach social and emotional learning beginning in kindergarten. Students work on speaking, listening, not interrupting and asking questions in small groups. They are also taught how to focus their attention and ignore distractions.

“These are skills you need to success, how to successfully interact with a person. Soft skills are more important to get ahead in business and careers than technical skills,” Tarbox said.

Tarbox said the upper elementary grades work on problem solving, e.g., there is one ball and two people want it. She said children are taught to find solutions, and understand consequences. What is the best solution, the one that’s going to work for you and not have consequences. She said these skills are also important in business.

Career Fairs are also being planned again this year, another project that WE2BA took on last year. The combined high schools career fair will be held on Wednesday, April 11 at the Woodward Center at Westfield State University. Phelon said her goal is for 75 companies to sign on this year. She said they are taking note of all the comments from last year’s fair, and will tweak it accordingly.

Suggestions from the group on Thursday included finding a way to have parents more

involved.

Elementary Schools are planning career days, and in some cases career weeks. Several schools, including Highland Elementary and Paper Mill, whose career weeks are being scheduled from June 4 to June 8, are holding their career events in June. Phelon said the Chamber will help to promote the career days, and encourage members to participate by speaking to students about their fields.

Chris Tolpa also gave a report on the Middle School Career Fair held in October, at which businesses met with teachers and spoke about potential collaborative opportunities.

Tolpa said for the next fair next fall, she will prepare a list of ways that businesses and teachers can work together.

Phelon also spoke about a presentation she made on WE2BA to the Economic Development Partners of Western Mass, which was led by Rick Sullivan, President of the Economic Development Council. She said in nine slides she introduced WE2BA to the regional group, noting that it started with Westfield Public Schools becoming a member of the Chamber of Commerce, and then branched out to form the alliance.

Phelon said she was asked to hold a symposium to present WE2BA to other cities, which she is working on tentatively for the spring.

“What we’re doing is groundbreaking,” Phelon said.

2017 SAFL SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS Westfield Senior Bombers

Westfield Senior Bombers soar to regionals

By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer LONGMEADOW – The Westfield Youth Football Senior Bombers are going big time.

For the first time in recent memory, Westfield is headed to regionals where a national championship berth is on the line.

This was made possible by Westfield’s thrilling 6-0 win over Longmeadow last week in the Suburban Amateur Football League Super Bowl at Berte Field.

Westfield quarterback Matthew Adamites connected with Mike Collins on a 30-yard touchdown pass late in the second quarter for the game’s only score.

“We couldn’t get our run game going,” Westfield Senior Bombers coach Mike Slingerland said. “We caught them off guard with a nice pass. It was very close. It was a very good game. We just happened to outplay them that day.”

Westfield has been rewarded with a trip to regionals. Their journey begins Friday afternoon with a game against the Badgers at The Fields Sports Complex in East Brunswick, New Jersey. Kickoff is at 1:30 p.m.

“We got here on hard work, dedication, and heart,” coach Slingerland said.

Daly downs ‘The Putz’ Congrats are in order for our latest “Beat ‘The Putz’” pro football contest winner, Jody Daly of Westfield.

Daly easily surpassed my 9-3 record with a stellar 11-1 entry in Week 12.

Week 13 sees the 9-2 New England Patriots travelling to Buffalo to take on the Bills (6-5). The NFC’s best Philadelphia Eagles (10-1) take on the Seahawks in Seattle in our Sunday night tiebreaker.

Also Sunday, two 8-3 NFC South heavyweights, Carolina and New Orleans battle in the Louisiana Superdome. The 9-2 Minnesota Vikings take on the Atlanta Falcons (7-4). Elsewhere, the 8-3 Los Angeles Rams travel to Arizona to take on the lowly Cardinals (5-6).

Those are just some of the highlights in a jam-packed Sunday full of NFL action. Good luck everyone. – CAP

Dear Annie

By ANNIE LANE

Lunches With a Controlled Wife Dear Annie: I am concerned about one of my friends, “Amanda.” She and I are both middle-aged housewives with only part-time jobs. For the past six months or so, we’ve been having lunch together once a week.

Amanda comes from a much more repressed background than I do. She was raised to believe that wives should be submissive to their husbands, etc.

Our weekly lunch is in a restaurant that’s located inside a supermarket. I like the food there. Amanda used to say she liked the location because when her husband asked about her day, she could truthfully tell him she had only gone to the grocery. She said it would take time for her to let him know about having a new friend.

Amanda has complained about her controlling husband. She told me he checks her phone and email all the time. However, she has such an upbeat, happy disposition, I thought she was exaggerating. About a month ago, she told me that since she’s gotten to know me, she’s had the courage to speak up to her husband about some things for the very first time, and it has led to some positive changes in their marriage.

The next week, Amanda’s husband just showed up with her at our lunch. I welcomed meeting him because I knew he could see that I’m a straight woman who poses no threat.

Since then, however, he has come with her every week. He owns his own business, so he must have rearranged his whole schedule to lunch with us! He sits with us but doesn’t say much.

He mostly plays with his phone. Of course, my conversation with Amanda is quite different with him sitting there. This whole thing seems weird to me. I’m afraid that if I were to say much, our lunches would end altogether. Do you have any suggestions?

-- Silenced in the Supermarket Dear Silenced: Though you might be limited in what you can say to Amanda, your mere presence speaks volumes. It tells her she’s not alone -- that someone cares. To someone in an abusive relationship, that’s an invaluable message. And that’s why the best thing you can do for Amanda right now is to continue attending these lunches and pretending her husband’s presence is welcome. Any perceived rejection of him would be used to separate you from her. Call The National Domestic Violence Hotline (800-799-7233) for more guidance.

Dear Annie: I certainly sympathize with “Concerned Legionnaire’s Wife.” Many years ago, I attempted to sign up for an American Legion post but was told by a misinformed individual that women could not join the organization. Rather than judge the entire organization by the erroneous view of one individual, I found another American Legion post. Today I am the national commander of The American Legion, and that original post displays my official photograph with the words, “She could have belonged to this post. Remember, women are veterans too!”

Though I cannot speak about the specific allegations that “Concerned Legionnaire’s Wife” mentioned, I would like to encourage her to report any malfeasance to her state’s American Legion headquarters. With 13,000 posts spread throughout the United States and even overseas, there will be some personality conflicts and irregularities in some areas. But I encourage people to visit our website, at https://www.legion.org, to learn about the many contributions offered by the 2 million men and women who make up the nation’s largest veterans organization.

Created in 1919 by a group of World War I veterans, The American Legion was founded on the pillars of veterans care, a strong national defense, Americanism and patriotic youth programs. Every day, our members support their communities by conducting blood drives, raising money for disaster assistance, welcoming home military troops, helping veterans obtain and understand their benefits, and operating the best youth programs in the country.

It is an organization that America can be most proud of. For God and Country... -- Denise H. Rohan Dear Commander Rohan: The behavior “Concerned Legionnaire’s Wife” described might have taken place at an American Legion post, but it had nothing to do with The American Legion -- a point your thoughtful letter hammers home. Thank you for all that you and the organization have done.

Trump turns Lauer firing into occasion to blast ‘Fake News’

By KEN THOMAS Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump turned the firing of NBC's Matt Lauer into a fresh opportunity to attack the press Wednesday, unleashing a series of cryptic and personal tweets aimed at prominent media figures.

As many Americans were eating breakfast, the president swiftly responded to the abrupt dismissal of the longtime "Today" show host by condemning NBC News and its Philadelphia-based parent company, Comcast Corp. Trump said on Twitter: "Wow, Matt Lauer was just fired from NBC for 'inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace.' But when will the top executives at NBC & Comcast be fired for putting out so much Fake News."

Trump then referenced the NBC News chairman, adding: "Check out Andy Lack's past!" It was not immediately clear what that comment referred to. In another tweet, the president used Lauer's firing to lash out at "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough and MSNBC President Phil Griffin.

NBC declined to comment on Trump's tweets. It announced Wednesday that it had terminated Lauer after receiving a "detailed complaint" from a colleague about sexual misconduct.

Trump's comment on "Fake News" was a reiteration of his long-standing complaints about mainstream news outlets that he contends have covered his presidency unfairly and inaccurately.

Trump, who often deems stories that he doesn't like to be fake news, has maintained an ongoing battle with the media.

His latest tweets follow a spate of posts in recent days denigrating the press, including one in which he suggested a contest to determine "the most dishonest, corrupt and/or distorted" news organization. He added: "Winner to receive the

FAKE NEWS TROPHY!" As a presidential candidate, Trump often criticized individual reporters by name at his massive, free-wheeling rallies. Wednesday's tweets carried a sharply personal tone against a network that made Trump one of its biggest stars on "The Apprentice."

Speaking of Griffin, Trump tweeted that in light of Lauer's departure, "when will the Fake News practitioners at NBC be terminating the contract of Phil Griffin?"

Turning to Scarborough, Trump wrote: "And will they terminate low ratings Joe Scarborough based on the "unsolved mystery" that took place in Florida years ago? Investigate!"

The president may have been referring to the 2001 death of an employee for Scarborough when he was serving as a Republican congressman from Florida.

The 28-year-old woman was found dead in the congressman's district office. A doctor who performed her autopsy said she suffered an abnormal heart rhythm, and police said at the time there were no signs of foul play.

Scarborough responded with his own tweet: "Looks like I picked a good day to stop responding to Trump's bizarre tweets. He is not well."

Trump has had a running feud with Scarborough and his "Morning Joe" cohost Mika Brzezinski. After the two questioned Trump's mental stability on their show, Trump last summer issued a crude tweet questioning Brzezinski's intelligence, looks and temperament.

The president's tweets seeking to undermine the media have been a mainstay of Trump's first year in office. The latest examples come amid tension over an upcoming White House holiday party.

CNN, which is among Trump's favorite targets, announced Tuesday that the network's reporters would not be attend-

ing Friday's White House Christmas party, an annual tradition in which reporters and administration officials interact in a more relaxed setting.

"In light of the president's continued attacks on freedom of the press and CNN, we do not feel it is appropriate to celebrate with him as his invited guests," the network said in a statement, adding that it intended to send "a White House reporting team to the event" to cover any news.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders responded to the CNN announcement with a celebratory tweet, writing, "Christmas comes early! Finally, good news from @CNN." Trump piled on, tweeting: "Great, and we should boycott Fake News CNN. Dealing with them is a total waste of time!"

Journalists with The Associated Press also have been invited to the White House party. The news organization leaves it up to individual reporters to attend at their discretion.

Over the weekend, Trump went after CNN International on Twitter, saying the network was "a major source of (Fake) news" outside the U.S. and complained that they "represent our Nation to the WORLD very poorly."

"The outside world does not see the truth from them!" he wrote.

It was an especially pointed attack on a news organization that prides itself on its international coverage.

CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer noted during Monday's broadcast that the network's reporters risk their lives across the globe on a daily basis. "No matter how many insults or blatant assaults on the press and its freedoms, this pursuit is something for which we will never bend or break and even the loudest critics can't silence the facts," he said.

NBC wins ratings week, narrows season’s gap with CBS HINTS FROM HELOISE BASKET CASE Dear Heloise: I have a drip coffee maker, and recently I found an easy way to clean the part that holds the coffee basket. I used a spray bottle, set to stream, and hit the nooks and ridges with streams of water. The grime and coffee residue flowed down the center hole, where I had placed a tall glass to catch the drips. It takes only a minute to clean this part of the coffee maker.

-- Yvonne in Falls Church, Va. GET A GRIP! Dear Heloise: My rubber lid-gripper finally wore out. I looked in several stores, but couldn’t find what I wanted. I had some leftover rubber waffle shelf liner that I cut into small to mediumsize squares and used them to open those hard-to-open jar lids.

Love your column! -- Laura L., San Clemente, Calif.

(C)2017 BY KING FEATURES SYNDICATE INC.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Powered by football and "The Voice," NBC won a second consecutive weekly ratings contest and narrowed the gap with front-runner CBS among total viewers for the TV season so far.

For the year to date, NBC has climbed within 902,000 viewers of CBS, the narrowest gap in 15 years, according to Nielsen figures released Tuesday. Longtime leader CBS has drawn 9.9 million viewers compared to NBC's 9 million.

Networks usually tout their showing among advertiser-favored young adults ages 18 to 49, but staying competitive among all viewers is important as broadcasters divvy up the pie with expanding cable and streaming outlets.

NBC's Thanksgiving week winners included NFL games, the sophomore drama "This Is Us" and two helpings of talent show "The Voice."

Viewers also sampled holiday cheer, with ABC's "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" the highest-ranked entry with 6.68 million viewers.

For the week of Nov. 20 to 26, NBC averaged 8.6 million viewers in prime time. CBS had 6.96 million, ABC had 5.37 million, Fox had 2.96 million, Univision had 1.43 million, CW had 1.31 million, ION Television had 1.28 million and Telemundo had 1.19 million.

ESPN was the most-watched cable network, averaging 3.23

million viewers in prime time and posting cable's No. 1 show with the NFL contest between the Seahawks and the Falcons.

Hallmark, buoyed by its slate of holiday movies, was close behind with 3.11 million, while Fox News Channel had 1.72 million.

ABC's "World News Tonight" remained the evening news champion, averaging 8.56 million viewers. NBC's "Nightly News" had 8.08 million and the "CBS Evening News" had 6.42 million.

For the week of Nov 20-26, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: NFL Sunday Night Football: Green Bay at Pittsburgh, NBC, 18.95 million; NFL Thursday Night Football: New York at Washington, NBC, 16.91 million; "Sunday Night NFL Pre-Kick," NBC, 13.32 million; "NCIS," CBS, 12.54 million; "60 Minutes," CBS, 12.23 million; "The Big Bang Theory," CBS, 12.13 million; "Thursday Night NFL Pre-Kick," NBC, 11.44 million; "Young Sheldon," CBS, 11.43 million; NFL Football: Atlanta at Seattle, ESPN, 10.82 million; "Dancing With the Stars" (Monday), ABC, 10.15 million.

ABC is owned by The Walt Disney Co. CBS is owned by CBS Corp. CW is a joint venture of Warner Bros. Entertainment and CBS Corp. Fox is owned by 21st Century Fox. NBC and Telemundo are owned by Comcast Corp. ION Television is owned by ION Media Networks.

Russian network RT loses Capitol Hill credentials WASHINGTON (AP) — Broadcast reporters for Russian state-funded TV channel RT will no longer be able to report daily from the U.S. Capitol.

A committee that governs Capitol Hill access for broadcast journalists has withdrawn credentials for RT after the company complied earlier this month with a U.S. demand that it register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. The law applies to people or companies disseminating information in the U.S. on behalf of foreign governments, political parties and other "foreign principals."

The action also comes just days after Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed legislation allowing Russia to register international media outlets as foreign agents, an act seen as the Kremlin's retaliation for the Trump administration decision on RT. The new rules require disclosures to the Russian government and are seen as stigmatizing the news outlets as promoters of American propaganda.

In Washington, C-SPAN's Craig Caplan informed RT that its credentials were being withdrawn after a unanimous vote of the executive committee of the Congressional Radio and

Television Correspondents' Galleries.

Caplan, the chairman of that committee, wrote that gallery rules "state clearly that news credentials may not be issued to any applicant employed by 'any foreign government or representative thereof.'" He said the FARA registration made the network ineligible to hold news credentials, and their withdrawal is effective immediately.

Many news outlets with ties to foreign governments are required to similarly register. English-language newspaper China Daily is registered due to its affiliation with the Chinese government, for example. But the pressure on RT has angered Russian officials, who have said they will retaliate with restrictions on U.S. news outlets.

The letter was sent to Mikhail Solodovnikov of RT's U.S.based production company, T & R Productions. RT did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

U.S. intelligence agencies have alleged RT served as a propaganda outlet for the Kremlin as part of a multi-pronged effort to interfere in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

Russia denies interfering.

YOUR

HOROSCOPE

Contract Bridge

By Jaqueline Bigar

DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Nov. 30, 2017: This year you open up to some unusually conservative ideas, despite the fact that you typically favor thinking that is outside the box. You seem to flip back and forth between these two extremes, but ultimately you’ll find a way to incorporate both. If you are single, several potential suitors find you intriguing.

You will have an opportunity to develop a noteworthy relationship with someone who values you. If you are attached, the two of you want a traditional relationship, yet you both are unconventional in your own right.

Accept this contradiction and worry less.

TAURUS can be a stick in the mud at times.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Use the earlier part of the day for matters that are dependent on how you project yourself. Later in the day, take a hard look at a money situation that might make you uncomfortable. Recognize your limits, and decide if you would like to change them.

Tonight: Run some errands.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You could be a little down and out until midafternoon, when you suddenly perk up. Your energy regains force and your smile broadens. People can’t help but respond to you. A conversation with a partner could flow easily at the end of the day. Tonight: Share news.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You might be a lot more upbeat than you have been in a while. A meeting or an extended lunch with a friend helps you feel more informed and prepared to present a new idea. Toward the end of the day, you might need some downtime. Tonight: Take a power nap first, then decide.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Others look to you for advice and direction. You could be overly tired or bored with all of your responsibilities at some point in the day. Lighten up the moment. Call a friend to make some spontaneous plans; you need more fun in your life. Tonight: With a favorite person.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Have a long-overdue talk, and deal with a problem as it happens. You have taken on an unusual amount of responsibility, and probably need to take a break from everything that is happening. Lighten up and make the most of the moment. Tonight: Take a long walk.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Make a point of looking at the big picture more often. You have a tendency to get too detail-oriented. Remain open to possibilities that are forthcoming, especially as they showcase the need for a different type of thinking; you will grow as a result. Tonight: A must appearance.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH One-on-one relating takes you down a new path. You’ll experience excitement, but also a sense of feeling overwhelmed. Time probably will help you adjust.

You could be surprised by how you feel once you make an adjustment. Tonight: Spread your wings and try something new.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might be more in tune with a partner than you realize. Sometimes you notice the differences between you instead of the similarities. Don’t take this as an indication that you have little in common -- it just means that you have different perspectives.

Tonight: Accept an offer.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH You’ll feel grounded and efficient until the midafternoon. A call from someone you care about could be quite disruptive. You might have difficulty focusing on any other matter. Has it occurred to you that you have been overworking? Tonight: Accept a spontaneous suggestion.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Your imagination encourages you to make positive choices for the long term.

Try to envision yourself on each possible path, and you’ll be able to make the right decision. Share more of what you are feeling with a loved one. Tonight: Get some rest before the weekend.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Getting going might be tough at first, but it will get easier as the day goes on.

You might want to challenge a friend to a game of racquetball or sign up for a class.

Consider taking tomorrow off; you’ll be able to focus better on Monday if you do. Tonight: Be a little naughty.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You will be unusually verbal and direct with others today. How you express what you want could make or break a situation. Recognize that you need to consider toning down your style, as it is currently is unlikely to help you get your message across.

Tonight: Head home early, if you can.

BORN TODAY TV personality Dick Clark (1929), former British prime minister Winston Churchill (1874), writer Mark Twain (1935)
