Southwick Police Lieutenant receives community service award By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent SOUTHWICK – Last week, Southwick Police Lt. Kevin Bishop was one of three local police officers to be recognized at the 2017 WMass ASIS Law Enforcement Appreciation Dinner held at the Sheraton Hotel in Springfield. ASIS, an organization that provides security professionals with a wide variety of services and programs, continually looks to build strong relationships between security professionals and law enforcement. As ASIS continues to seek out law enforcement individuals who are helping their community, the Western Mass Chapter of ASIS honored Bishop for his dedication to his local area. Most notably, Bishop received an award for his work towards Team Justice, a nonprofit organization founded by Bishop in 2004. Team Justice focuses on law enforcement working with youth by getting them involved in a motocross racing team and teaching them core values. Having received other awards in the past, Bishop was particularly proud to earn this award from ASIS, as it directly shined on his fellow members on Team Justice. “I would like to thank all the past and present Team Justice mentors and supporters for their continued support over the years,” said Bishop. “I accepted this award recognition on behalf of all of them.” Southwick Chief David Ricardi said this award was a wonderful opportunity for ASIS to recognize Bishop. “They felt like it was a good time to honor him for his commitment to the youth of the community,” said Ricardi. For more information on Team Justice or Bishop’s current involvement in the organization, visit their Facebook page.

School of Rock. (London production photos by Tristram Kenton)
Review: ‘School of Rock’at The Bushnell By MARK G. AUERBACH Correspondent If you looking for a stage treatment of a popular movie with music, with an energetic production and some super-talented young people singing, dancing, and playing their own musical instruments, School of Rock is for you. There’s a loud untypical Andrew Lloyd Webber rock score and all the trappings of a rock concert, from outstanding lighting by Natasha Katz, fun sets and costumes by Anna Louizos, and frenetic choreography by JoAnn M. Hunter. It’s also loud and full of strobe lights. Everything’s well staged by Laurence Connor, and there are two adult performances of note: Rob Colletti as Dewey, the role originated on screen by Jack Black, and Lexie Dorsett Sharp, as an uptight school principal who loosens up under the charms of Dewey. Broadway’s Andrew Lloyd Webber has been having a banner year. At Tony Awards time, last June, he had four hit musicals running on Broadway: a revival of Cats which runs through the holidays, and features Westfield native Joshua Burrage; the long-running The Phantom of The Opera, Glenn Close in Sunset
Boulevard, and his most recent hit School of Rock, still a big box-office draw. School of Rock just launched a North American tour, and its visit to Hartford’s Bushnell this week is one of the first stops on its journey. School of Rock is based on the 2003 film, with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, lyrics by Glenn Slater, and book by Julian Fellowes, adapted rom Mike White’s screenplay, is still running on Broadway. The musical follows Dewey Finn, an out-of-work rock singer and guitarist who pretends to be a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. After identifying the musical talent in his students, Dewey forms a band of fifth-graders, in an attempt to win the upcoming Battle of the Bands contest. Lloyd Webber contributed 14 new songs to the 11 already in the movie. I’d not seen the movie, but my companion, who had, said that School of Rock is a faithful adaptation of the popular film. The audience, which included many younger people, was as ramped up as the performers onstage, and the cast received
By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—In spite of a possible change to the map that is part of the Noise Compatibility Program (NCP) around Barnes Regional Airport, current homes up for acquisition are not expected to be affected, according to Jane Verbeck of Wyle Acoustical Engineering. Verbeck said that in spite of a possible change in the noise exposure map (NEM) proposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) over the summer, homes being acquired through the NCP with three grants currently being used for the program will not be affected. According to Verbeck, any change to the NEM would have an impact on grants moving forward, which must be applied for by May 2018. “If we want to apply for a new grant by May 1, 2018, we have to be in the process of creating a new map,” Verbeck said. “These three grants are good to go.” The NCP was designed by Wyle, in conjunction with FAA regulations and input from the city. The NCP called for the acquisition and demolition of certain homes found within contours of impact based on the NEM, while others can receive sound insulation. A third option, which Verbeck called a “last resort,” is what is known as “avigation easement,” and is used when those who do not want to move but also do not want sound insulation. The NEM currently used was designed through a military modeling program called Noise Map, Verbeck said previously. Verbeck also said previously that the FAA had requested the use of two computer modeling programs, a civilian and a military program, to potentially model the NEM going forward. Verbeck had notified the Westfield Airport Commission of this in early August, and it was uncertain the impact the new model could have. However, Verbeck said recently that the homes currently being acquired would not be impacted, and that the new NEM would most likely have impacts on homes that would require sound insulation, not acquisition. “I don’t think more homes would be up for acquisition even if the map changes,” she said. “Changes could be eligible for sound insulation.” The change, according to Verbeck, is being requested by the FAA for the New England region, which includes Westover Air Force Base in Chicopee.

Boys and Girls Club to have event for children in need of adoptive homes By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—The Greater Westfield Boys and Girls Club will be having the 10th annual Adoption Party Sunday, Nov. 5, to help address the need for adoptive families. The event, which is being hosted by the Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange (MARE), is an effort to help find adoptive homes for the over 800 children in foster care in Massachusetts. The party will include events for children, as well as informational sessions for prospective adoptive families. “Our mission is to find adoptive homes,” Joseph Sandagato, Director of Communications and Public Relations, said. “To increase awareness for families and
Trial date set for man charged in heroin OD death of teen SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — The trial of a Massachusetts man charged with providing the heroin that led to a teenage girl's fatal overdose is now scheduled to start early next year. The Republican newspaper reports that a judge on Tuesday set a trial date of Jan. 5 for 22-year-old Seth Lombard-Hawthorne. The Westfield man is charged with involuntary manslaughter in the February 2016 death of 16-year-old high school junior Lillian Anderson. He has pleaded not guilty. The pair had worked together at a fast food restaurant. Lombard-Hawthorne's lawyer successfully argued that evidence seized from her client's car and cellphone, as well as his DNA sample, cannot be used at trial.
promote the need for adoption,” he added. The event, which is free, will be occurring on Sunday, Nov. 5, from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., at the Boys and Girls Club on Broad Street in Westfield. Events will include birdhouse construction, games and a pizza party. In addition, Sandagato said that families interested in adopting are provided with information. “For families that want to learn more about the process, there’s resources to help facilitate that,” he said. The party, which has occurred for 10 years, has provided about 50 children with placement in homes, according to Sandagato, and See Homes, Page 8

Man hiding from police calls for help after getting stuck SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Authorities say a Utah man who was hiding from police and fled arrest had to call 911 to be rescued after getting stuck in his hiding spot. Salt Lake City police say 46-year-old Shane Paul Owen called dispatchers for help on Tuesday, more than six hours after he accidentally locked himself in a church’s boiler room. Officers were looking for Owens on Monday because he is a suspect in a string of burglaries and had warrants out for his arrest. Police say an officer spotted him and attempted to pull his vehicle over, but Owen fled, got out of his car and ran into the church. A SWAT team held a standoff at the church until Owens called to be rescued.

O
n Oct. 25, 1854, the “Charge of the Light Brigade” took place during the Crimean War as an English brigade of more than 600 men charged the Russian army, suffering heavy losses.
ON THIS DATE:
In 1415, during the Hundred Years’ War, outnumbered English soldiers led by Henry V defeated French troops in the Battle of Agincourt in northern France. In 1760, Britain’s King George III succeeded his late grandfather, George II. In 1929, former Interior Secretary Albert B. Fall was convicted in Washington, D.C. of accepting a $100,000 bribe from oil tycoon Edward L. Doheny. (Fall was sentenced to a year in prison and fined $100,000; he ended up serving nine months.) In 1939, the play “The Time of Your Life,” by William Saroyan, opened in New York. In 1945, Taiwan became independent of Japanese colonial rule. In 1954, a meeting of President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Cabinet was carried live on radio and television; to date, it’s the only presidential Cabinet meeting to be broadcast. In 1957, mob boss Albert Anastasia of “Murder Inc.” notoriety was shot to death by masked gunmen in a barber shop inside the Park Sheraton Hotel in New York. In 1962, during a meeting of the U.N. Security Council, U.S. Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson II demanded that Soviet Ambassador Valerian Zorin confirm or deny the existence of Soviet-built missile bases in Cuba; Stevenson then presented photographic evidence of the bases to the Council.
In 1971, the U.N. General Assembly voted to admit mainland China and expel Taiwan. In 1983, a U.S.-led force invaded Grenada at the order of President Ronald Reagan, who said the action was needed to protect U.S. citizens there. In 1994, Susan Smith of Union, South Carolina, claimed that a black carjacker had driven off with her two young sons (Smith later confessed to drowning the children in John D. Long Lake, and was convicted of murder). Three defendants were convicted in South Africa of murdering American exchange student Amy Biehl. In 2002, U.S. Sen. Paul Wellstone, D-Minn., was killed in a plane crash in northern Minnesota along with his wife, daughter and five others, a week and a-half before the election. Actor Richard Harris died in London at age 72.
TEN YEARS AGO:
President George W. Bush visited Southern California, telling residents weary from five days of wildfires: “We’re not going to forget you in Washington, D.C.” The Boston Red Sox beat the Colorado Rockies 2-1 at Fenway to take a 2-0 World Series lead.
FIVE YEARS AGO: President Barack Obama, seeking to shore up support among women, intensified his pressure on Mitt Romney to break any ties with a Republican Senate candidate, Richard Mourdock of Indiana, who said that if a woman became pregnant from rape it was “something God intended.” Romney ignored the emotional social issue, holding to an optimistic campaign tone as he fought for victory in crucial Ohio.
ONE YEAR AGO: A federal judge in San Francisco approved a nearly $15 billion settlement, giving nearly a half-million Volkswagen
owners and leaseholders the choice between selling their diesel engine cars back or having them repaired so they didn’t cheat on emissions tests and spew excess pollution. Four people were killed in a river rapids ride accident at a popular theme park in Queensland, Australia. The Cleveland Indians beat the Chicago Cubs 6-0 in the World Series opener.

Republican businessman announces campaign to oust Senator Warren BOSTON (AP) — Republican business executive John Kingston is formally announcing his candidacy for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Democrat Elizabeth Warren. The Winthrop executive is planning to outline his campaign goals Wednesday evening during a speech at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the U.S. Senate. Kingston says that instead of looking for ways to "improve the lives of hardworking Americans" politicians like Warren "drive wedges between us for their own political gain." He already has poured $3 million into his campaign. Kingston says he's the best positioned of the Republican candidates to defeat Warren's re-election hopes next year. Groton resident and onetime aide to former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney Beth Lindstrom, state Rep. Geoff Diehl, of Whitman and Cambridge technology entrepreneur Shiva Ayyadurai also are seeking the GOP nomination.

I would like to give a shout-out to Flora and the staff at The Westfield News. They have been extremely instrumental in getting the word out about The Red Kettle drive for the Salvation Army. The ads placed for volunteers was a success. I would also like to thank Lori Szepelak for the wonderful article she wrote about the Salvation Army. That too is a huge help in getting the word out. The Salvation Army is alive and well in Westfield!! Look for the ad regarding checks that can be sent into the Westfield News! Mary-Lou Dazelle.
Letter to the Editor To the Editor My name is Steve Dondley, one of your seven at-large city councilors here in Westfield. First, I’d like to provide some brief background for those who may not yet know me: I served for six years aboard nuclear submarines in the U.S. Navy. Today, I own a small business that provides computer software services. I’m also a devoted husband to my wife, Lorena, and loving father to my son, Sean, who goes to public schools here in Westfield. My family and I reside in our single-family home on Kane Brothers Circle near the high school. I was elected to office in 2015 and it’s been an incredible honor to serve you over the past two years in my first term as a Westfield city councilor. As your city councilor, I have done my utmost to stake out reasonable, carefully considered positions. You and your family count on local government to provide Westfield with many vital services. At the same time, you also need to make every tax dollar count. It’s a tricky balance and one I take very seriously. My record in office and my words back this up. I voted in favor of the mayor’s proposed 0% tax increase last year when I thought we could afford it. I also staunchly opposed harmful cuts to our schools, the rail trail, and other important projects and services that improve our quality of life and will help attract new revenue in order to keep our city moving forward. I’m very proud of my track record, accomplishments, and current work in progress in my first term on the city council, which include: -Casting the deciding vote to stop harmful and unnecessary budget cuts to our schools -Establishment of an economic development advisory committee to the city council to stimulate ideas for what the council can do to help promote the local economy -Advocating for the expansion of a tax deferment program for seniors to allow them to reduce their tax bills -Perfect attendance record for city council meetings -Voting against pay raises for city councilors -Working toward a COLA increase for retired city workers -Exploration of a potential lawsuit against opioid drug manufacturers and distributors at no cost to the city to recoup the costs borne by taxpayers to address the opioid crisis With my first two years under my belt, I am now familiar enough with the job to be a real force for more progress in Westfield. I strive to work very cooperatively with my colleagues and I go out of my way to avoid petty disputes with those I have disagreements with. My belief is that if we are going to get things accomplished on the council, we must all do our best to all get along. Finally, I pride myself on being one of the most accessible, responsive, and conscientious at-large councilors. I believe in a personal touch to public service to our citizens and I have knocked on thousands of doors over the course of my campaigns so I can get insight into what our residents are thinking and are concerned about. For someone like me that loves people, it’s been a fantastic experience and one I deeply enjoy. My personal cell phone is published publicly on the city’s website: 413-537-4451. I welcome all inquiries and input. I would greatly appreciate one of your seven votes in the city councilor, at-large race on November 7th so I may continue my service to you. Thank you! Steve Dondley City Councilor, At-Large

AP source: Clinton camp helped fund Trump dossier research By ERIC TUCKER Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee helped fund political research into President Donald Trump that ultimately produced a dossier of allegations about his ties to Russia, a person familiar with the matter said Tuesday night. The revelation is likely to fuel complaints by Trump that the dossier, which the president has derided as “phony stuff,” is a politically motivated collection of salacious claims. Yet the FBI has worked to corroborate the document, and in a sign of its ongoing relevance to investigators, special counsel Robert Mueller’s team — which is probing potential coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign — weeks ago questioned the former British spy, Christopher Steele, who helped compile the claims in the dossier. The dossier, which circulated in Washington last year and was turned over to the FBI for its review, contends that Russia was engaged in a longstanding effort to aid Trump and had amassed compromising information about him. Trump has repeatedly dismissed the document as false and in recent days has questioned on Twitter whether Democrats or the FBI had helped fund it. Trump has also attacked the findings of the FBI, NSA and CIA that Russia waged a large-scale influence campaign to interfere in the election. The FBI and the CIA have said with high confidence that the effort was aimed at hurting Clinton’s candidacy and helping Trump. The NSA found the same with “moderate” confidence. The person familiar with the matter,
who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss confidential client matters, said the arrangement was brokered by Marc Elias, a lawyer for the Clinton campaign and the DNC, and his law firm of Perkins Coie. The deal began in the spring of 2016, when the firm was approached by Fusion GPS, the political research firm behind the dossier, and lasted until right before Election Day, according to the person. When Fusion approached Elias, it had already been doing research work on Trump for a client during the GOP primary. The identity of the original client has not been revealed. It’s unclear what Fusion GPS had dug up by the time law firm hired it in April 2016. According to a copy of the dossier published by BuzzFeed last year, the earliest report from Steele dates to June 2016, two months later. It was not immediately known how much money Fusion was paid or how many others in the Clinton campaign or DNC were aware that the firm had been retained. Elias did not immediately return an email seeking comment, and representatives of Fusion GPS declined to comment. The Washington Post first reported the arrangement. Clinton campaign officials did not immediately comment, but in a statement, a DNC spokeswoman said chairman Tom Perez was not part of the decision-making and was unaware that Perkins Coie was working with Fusion GPS. “But let’s be clear, there is a serious federal investigation into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia, and the American public deserves to know what happened,” the statement said. Former Clinton campaign spokesman
Brian Fallon said on Twitter that he regretted not knowing about Steele’s hiring before the election, and that had he known, “I would have volunteered to go to Europe and try to help him.” “I have no idea what Fusion or Steele were paid but if even a shred of that dossier ends up helping Mueller, it will prove money well spent,” he wrote in another tweet. According to a letter obtained by the AP Tuesday night, representatives of Fusion GPS reached out to the firm in early March 2016 to express interest in continuing research on Trump it had begun “for one or more other clients during the Republican primary contest.” At that time, the Clinton campaign was looking toward the general election and was pivoting attention toward Trump, who was emerging as the Republican front-runner. The person said Trump, by virtue of his extensive international business dealings, was seen as a natural target for complicated opposition research abroad. Perkins Coie then engaged Fusion GPS in April 2016 “to perform a variety of research services during the 2016 election cycle,” according to the letter. The dossier created a political firestorm in January when it was revealed that then-FBI Director James Comey had alerted Trump to the existence of allegations about him and Russia. Since then, Trump has repeatedly attacked it and Republicans in Congress have worked to discredit it, even issuing a subpoena to force the disclosure of Fusion GPS’s bank records. The letter, sent Tuesday by the law firm’s general counsel to a lawyer for Fusion GPS, was intended to release the research firm from its obligation to keep confidential the identity of its client.

Cousin: Suspect in kidnapping case has mental health issues LYNN, Mass. (AP) — The cousin of a man charged with trying to kidnap a 1-year-old girl from a Massachusetts laundromat says the suspect has mental health issues and is not a danger to anyone. Police say 24-year-old Precious Chigbue, of Lynn, is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday on a kidnapping charge. Lynn police say the suspect went in the laundromat at around 11 a.m. Tuesday, picked up the child at a table, and tried to leave. They say he was stopped by a witness and the mother. Chigbue fled after being confronted and was arrested at a nearby supermarket. The child was not injured. Emeka Iloba, who identified himself as the suspect’s cousin, says Chigbue recently switched to a new medication and would never harm anyone.
State seeking millions from man over unpaid tobacco tax ATTLEBORO, Mass. (AP) — Authorities are seeking an estimated $1 million to $3 million in taxes from a man after he allegedly sold tobacco products in Massachusetts without a license. The Sun Chronicle reports 57-year-old Zakhia Saliba pleaded innocent to his charges Tuesday. Saliba has been charged with attempting to evade taxes and failing to pay tobacco taxes. Police say the man sold tobacco products to several stores in Attleboro. Records show Saliba told officers he has been selling tobacco products for the past six years since he got a back injury. Saliba’s lawyer says they will be looking strongly at the allegations, and he calls his client “a perfect gentleman.” The case against Saliba has been continued to December.
Bridge closes for repairs after large potholes damage cars BOSTON (AP) — Officials say a historic bridge in Boston had to be closed temporarily after two large potholes damaged cars. WCVB-TV reports the inbound side of the North Washington Street Bridge was closed around 6:15 p.m. Tuesday for repair work once the holes were reported. Democratic Mayor Marty Walsh says public works employees worked through the night to get the issues fixed, and the bridge reopened around 10 p.m. The state Department of Transportation says the more than 100 year-old bridge is structurally deficient, and it has required several emergency repairs over the past few years. The department says they received $50.5 million in federal funding to support replacing the bridge along with another highway project.

COOKING ON DEADLINE
Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Garlic By KATIE WORKMAN Associated Press There are certain vegetables that I bring home and have a stare-off with for a while before cooking them. I think sweet potatoes top the list, partly because they will last forever, so the staring contest can go on for quite some time. And partly because they have eyes. Oh, yes, you are right, I am so funny. While I love sweet potatoes simply mashed with some butter and milk and not much else, that can be boring. Then, because of the naturally sweet nature of these potatoes, the tendency is to go for seasonings and flavors that underscore or amplify the sweetness. But that gets predictable as well. Anyway, in my quest for different, for savory, and for not a lot of extra thinking, I picked roasted garlic as the newest uncomplicated addition to sweet potatoes. I'm fairly certain this recipe is going to wiggle its way into the regular rotation. Start with about 8 cloves of the roasted garlic, which will give the dish a nice but not too intense garlicky flavor, and add more if you want a more pronounced hit of garlic. There are many types of sweet potatoes, and if you are a fan, have at it and get to know the different kinds. The exteriors and interiors range considerably in color, but most common are shades of white, tan and all sorts of oranges. In this recipe, I tested with an organic sweet potato with a very pale cream interior (kind of the color of Yukon golds). Next time I might look for orange sweet potatoes, since I am a sucker for the color and it makes a holiday table feel like a holiday table to me. If you haven't ever tried making roasted garlic, just do that today. Start the garlic before you start the potatoes, so the garlic will be roasted when you are ready to mash. It's stupidly, stupidly easy. And such a simple way to change up the flavor of everything from a crostini topping to a sauce to a chicken dish. If you want a milder garlic flavor in the potatoes, cut back on the number of cloves you mash in. ——— MASHED SWEET POTATOES WITH ROASTED GARLIC Serves 8 Start to finish: 1 hour, including roasting the garlic ——— ROASTED GARLIC: 1 head garlic 2 teaspoons olive oil Generous pinch salt Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Slice the top off the head of garlic so that the top of the cloves are exposed. (You can do as many of these as you want, at the same time.) Place each head on a square of aluminum

foil, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and wrap up the cloves well in the foil. Bake for about 45 minutes until the garlic is very soft. When cool enough to handle, squeeze out the roasted garlic from the papery wrapper, pressing up from the bottom to pop it out. MASHED SWEET POTATOES: Coarse or kosher salt to taste 3 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed 2 tablespoons olive oil 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 3/4 cup whole milk or half and half (or a combo), warmed 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper ——— Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the potatoes, allow the water to return to a simmer. Adjust the heat so the water remains at a simmer, and simmer until the sweet potatoes are soft, about 20 to 25 minutes. Drain the potatoes. Either return them to the pot with about eight cloves of the garlic, or to taste, and mash with an immersion blender or a potato masher, or put the potatoes through a ricer or food mill with the desired amount of garlic, doing this so the riced potatoes fall back into the pot. Add the olive oil, butter, milk, salt, and pepper, and stir to thoroughly combine.

By STEVE LeBLANC Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Boston Mayor Marty Walsh and his challenger, City Councilor Tito Jackson, sparred on everything from housing to public safety to transportation in a televised debate two weeks before Election Day. Jackson faulted Walsh for not doing enough to keep housing costs under control as rents soar. He said he'd support a change that would require developers to include even more affordable housing units in their projects. "The city of Boston is building way more luxury housing than affordable housing under the Walsh administration," Jackson said during the Tuesday night debate sponsored by WGBH News that brought the top two Democratic candidates together. Walsh, who is seeking his second four-year term, pushed back, saying he's helped to increase the affordable housing stock in Boston during the past three years. "We don't build luxury housing, private developers do," Walsh said, adding that the city has also seen a bit of stabilization in housing costs in the past year or two, but he said more needs to be done. The two candidates also went head to head on public safety and the role of the Boston Police Department. Jackson said Walsh hasn't done enough to ensure that the department reflects the city's racial makeup. Jackson said the city needs to get

Hyper • Local
When it comes to 21st century multimedia platforms, “hyper local” is a term you hear a lot. It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newspapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore. But, day in and day out, The Westfield News provides consistant coverage of the stories you need to know about, that are important to your city, town, neighborhood and home.

more minority police officers on the force. Walsh said the department has its most diverse command staff ever. Fueling a good portion of the debate was the ongoing challenges posed by the city's success in bringing in new companies like General Electric and the pressure that the growth has put on housing as well as transportation and infrastructure. Walsh said it's good that more people are being drawn to Boston. He said lots of cities in a similar position have grappled with the demands that such growth brings. He urged the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority — which runs the public transportation system in the metropolitan Boston area — to reinstitute late-night service. He called bicycles a transportation mode of the future and said the city is continuing to invest to make bicycles easier and safer to use in the city. Walsh also said the city is also looking at the opportunities offered by self-driving cars. Jackson said he, too, sup-
ports the expansion of bicycling in the city, but said that the city hasn't done enough to ensure access to public transportation equally in all neighborhoods. The two also had different takes on the city's bid to lure Amazon to Boston. Walsh said Boston didn't include any financial incentives in its initial bid, but didn't rule out adding economic sweeteners if the city makes the first cut. Jackson said he'd oppose tax incentives to lure tech giant Amazon, which is seeking a location for a second headquarters. He said Walsh has spent too much time trying to lure big companies and events — including the aborted attempts to bring the Summer Olympics and IndyCar racing to the city — when he should be focused on improving the city schools. Walsh is seeking his second four-year term. Recent polls show him with a solid lead. Jackson has represented Boston's Roxbury neighborhood since 2011. Voters head to the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 7.

Sandagato said that MARE works with the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families to help with communitybased adoption. Sandagato noted that the entire state has children in need of adoptive families but that Western Massachusetts is at an especially high need. He added that 21.6 percent of MARE’s cases are in Western Massachusetts.

games, and other items that would be of interest to young adults,” said Bill Westerlind, president of the Friends group. Sale hours are Nov. 16 from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Nov. 17 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Nov. 18 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Westerlind noted that next month’s event is expanding its sales offerings to meet the needs of not only children but also young adults who might be interested in YA book titles, CD’s, DVD’s, card games, puzzles and small electronics. “As this fall fundraiser has grown over the years, it plays an increasingly important role in our portfolio of annual fundraising activity,” said Westerlind. “While our annual spring book sale remains our signature fundraising event, sales have declined over the years because less and less printed books are published each year so our donations for re-sale have declined.” Westerlind added that the mix of toys and books for sale for the fall event offsets some of those declines in book sales. “The other key consideration is many of our community members have come to rely on this sale for holiday gift items,” said Westerlind. “The prices are very affordable and all proceeds support the many free programs and services offered by the Westfield Athenaeum throughout the year.” Donations can be dropped off through Nov. 15 during regular Athenaeum hours at the donation box next to the main circulation desk. In addition, arrangements can be made for donations to be picked up by calling (413) 568-7833. Friends members will also offer curbside drop-off services in front of the Athenaeum on Oct. 28 and Nov. 4 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Receipts will be available for the tax-deductible donations. “Generous donations made this event a great success in 2016,” said Westerlind. “Help us make it even better in 2017.”

MISHMASH of MUSIC! That’s what awaits this fall’s concertgoer to the Greater Westfield Community Band concert. Normally a theme is set for the concert, be it ” Broadway Bound” or “On The High Seas” to name some of the past themes, but this time around nothing came to mind and kidding around it was stated that it was just a mishmash of music — and that’s what has stuck. A great compilation of music from Disney to a Copland Tribute will be included. Then add Concertante for Winds, Empire Overture and American Originals, which features such great numbers as Alexander’s Ragtime Band, Yankee Doodle Dandy and You’re a Grand Old Flag, and you’ve found that mishmash to enjoy. The concert will be held at the North Middle School on Southampton Road in Westfield on Wednesday October 25, 2017 at 7:30 p.m. It’s free of charge and open to the public. The auditorium is handicap accessible and we hope to see lots of familiar faces with many new ones as well. Bring a friend and enjoy some wonderful music performed under the direction of Jim O’Connor.

WMASS D2 CHAMPIONS Southwick Rams
Monsters of the Fairway By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer LENOX – League title … check. 100th coaching victory … check. Undefeated regular season … check. And now, finally, a Western Massachusetts Division 2 golf championship. It was checkmate for the rest of the field at Tuesday’s D2 championship as last year’s runners-up, the Southwick Rams, took that next step toward attaining the ultimate prize, a Western Mass title. Southwick (21-0) posted a top team score of 334, besting South Hadley (336) by two strokes at Cranwell Spa & Golf Resort to become the perfect champ on a blustery day with intermittent rain showers that saw inflated scores all around. “It’s just crazy,” said Southwick coach Al Selden, whose team fell to Belchertown at Western Mass a year ago. “It’s just one of those dream seasons that you just don’t think’s going to happen. It’s ridiculous.” Southwick senior golfer James Longhi shot a silver-medal worthy 79 on the par 71 – Wahconah’s Nate Dos Santos won the individual championship with a 75 on his home course – and four other Rams had scores in the 80s to secure the title. “I knew it was going to be rough,” Longhi said, referring to the less-than-ideal weather conditions. “I told myself, ‘just get the ball in the hole.’ Everybody was playing in (it). I just had to deal with it.” Longhi struggled out of the gates, shooting an 8 over on the front nine, but turned it around by shooting even par over the final nine holes. He birdied the par-five 15th. “I kind of just scraped it out,” Longhi explained. “I didn’t do anything real well. I just kept at it.” Longhi’s teammates persevered as well with one golfer possibly even exceeding expectations of his closest competitors. Southwick’s No. 6 golfer, Nicholas Kavrakis shot an 83, good for sixth place. “Nick came through in the clutch,” Longhi said. “Everybody just put in the work to get here. We’ve got a great group of kids. Everybody just got better … as a family.” Southwick’s Chris Baker shot an 85 in Tuesday’s competition, followed by Rams’ Jack Fairlie and Bradley Durand, who each rounded out the scoring with a round of 87.

Tatum, Brown lead rested Celtics past Knicks By KYLE HIGHTOWER AP Sports Writer BOSTON (AP) — Jaylen Brown celebrated his 21st birthday by playing one of the best games of his young career. Brown scored 23 points — just two points shy of the career high he set in last week's season-opener — and the Boston Celtics beat the New York Knicks 110-89 on Tuesday night. He left the court with the perfect present — a win. "You can't beat that," he said. Rookie Jayson Tatum added 22 points. Kyrie Irving finished with 20 points and seven assists. Al Horford chipped in with 13 points and 13 rebounds. After dropping their first two games to open the season, the Celtics have won two straight. The Knicks remain winless through their first three games. Brown and Tatum were both taken No. 3 overall by the Celtics in the last two drafts, and became fast friends because of their proximity in age. Brown was active from the opening tip, connecting on 5 of his first 8 shots and scoring 13 points in the first quarter. He said he has been the beneficiary of teams paying so much attention to Irving and Horford. "They draw a lot of attention, so I've got to make plays when they're taking up a lot of that attention," Brown said. "Me and Jayson, we've got to make teams guard us." Enes Kanter led New York with 16 points and 19 rebounds. But he got most
of them in a first half in as his team struggled mightily from the field. The Knicks scored the first basket of the night, but never led again. They shot just 42 percent and went 1 of 12 from the 3-point line. TIP-INS Knicks: Kanter had 16 rebounds in the first half. ... New York went 0 for 6 from 3-point line and committed 11 turnovers in the first half. Celtics: This is the third time this season they have scored 100 or more points. ... Had five of their seven blocks in the first half. ... Coach Brad Stevens said Smart remains day-to-day, but expects that he will travel with the team on its upcoming road trip. DYNAMIC DUO According to Elias Sports Bureau, Tatum and Brown are the first Celtics' duo ever to score 20-plus points at 21 years or younger in the same game in team history. "We're gonna keep getting more comfortable with each other as time goes on," Tatum said. NO SMART, NO PROBLEM Boston played without guard Marcus Smart, who sat out his second straight game with a sprained left ankle. But they didn't need him. The Celtics played like a team coming off four days' rest, taking as much as a 25-point lead late in the second quarter. New York never recovered. Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek said before the game that Tim Hardaway Jr.

(AP Photo/Michael Dwyer) had been playing through a preseason ankle injury. He took a couple of hard spills, but still logged 28 minutes. He finished with six points, connecting on just 2 of his 11 shots.
"We were all out there just running like we don't know what's going on and that can't happen," Hardaway said. "I'm not playing the way I want to play. ... I can't harp on

Man charged in crash that hospitalized Patriots Langi FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — A 25-year-old Massachusetts man has been charged in connection with a car crash that injured five people, including New England Patriots rookie linebacker Harvey Langi and his wife, Cassidy. Police say Kevin Conroy, of Millis, is charged with drug possession, negligent operation and possession of an open alcohol container. Police say Langi was stopped at a traffic light in Foxborough on Oct. 13 when Conroy's Jeep, going 50 mph, rear-ended him. The force pinned Langi's car between the Jeep and the car in front of him. Conroy had medications he said had been prescribed to him. He passed a Breathalyzer. He was not arrested, but will be summoned to court. It's unclear if he has a lawyer. Langi, an undrafted free agent from Brigham Young, and his wife were hospitalized for several days.

Eagles remain No. 1 in the latest AP Pro32 poll By SIMMI BUTTAR AP Sports Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Carson Wentz has the Philadelphia Eagles on top of the NFL. And the second-year quarterback has also helped the Eagles maintain their perch atop the AP Pro 32 poll after Monday night’s 34-24 win over NFC East rival Washington. The victory was costly as Philadelphia lost nine-time Pro Bowl left tackle Jason Peters and starting linebacker Jordan Hicks for the rest of the season because of injuries. Philadelphia received 10 of the 12 firstplace votes for 382 points Tuesday in balloting by media members who regularly cover the NFL. The Eagles are 6-1 and have the best record in the league. They host the 49ers, one of two 0-7 teams, on Sunday. “Carson Wentz is playing at an MVP level. If he keeps this up, he will win the award,” said Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk. “But injuries to Jordan Hicks and Jason Peters hurt.” The Patriots moved up a spot to No. 2 after Sunday night’s dominating 23-7 victory over Atlanta in a rematch of the Super Bowl in February. The Patriots earned the other two first-place votes for 362 points. “(Coach) Bill Belichick knew it would take some more time folding in all the new pieces after a busy offseason, but now you’re starting to see the work pay off,” Newsday’s Bob Glauber said. “After drubbing the Falcons in a rematch of
Super Bowl LI, the Patriots are back in their rightful spot as the favorites to repeat.” The Steelers edged up to No. 3 after a pair of convincing wins and now lead the AFC North at 5-2. “Hitting their stride,” Fox Sports’ John Czarnecki said. The Chiefs slid two places to No. 4 after their second straight loss, 31-30 to Oakland on Thursday. The Chiefs will try to end their brief losing streak when they host the AFC West rival Broncos on Monday night. “After a 5-0 start, the Chiefs have given up ground the last two weeks,” said Jenny Vrentas of The Monday Morning Quarterback. “The key to bouncing back will be tightening up the defense, which has been playing below its talent level, even with Eric Berry out for the season.” The Los Angeles Rams, who lead the NFC West, climbed three places to No. 5. “Jared Goff has silenced any remaining skeptics while directing the NFL’s top scoring offense,” SB Nation Radio’s Ira Kaufman said of the Rams’ second-year quarterback. The Seahawks and Vikings are tied for No. 6, trailing the Rams by only three points. The Saints and Bills, both off to surprising 4-2 starts, each moved up six spots to Nos. 8 and 9, respectively. “Funny what can happen with a respectable defense,” The Sporting News’ Alex Marvez said of New Orleans, which usually relies on quarterback Drew Brees and a high-flying offense for success.

Dear Annie By ANNIE LANE
Divided Attention Dear Annie: My husband and I have had a cat for two years, and it is amazing how close we are to that little furry animal. He is a Persian longhair and full of love. He purrs whenever he is held or sits in your lap. Also, we just adopted a Great Pyrenees dog. We did not know much about this breed but are pleasantly surprised at how gentle she is. She ignores the cat and is wonderful with children. Yet she is a fantastic protection dog. I read that Great Pyrenees protect sheep and other livestock and chase away wolves and cheetahs, so you can imagine how powerful they are. We got her because there have been a series of break-ins in our neighborhood and we were advised that a big dog can be great protection against burglars. The problem is that our dog, sweet as she is, demands total attention. When either of us holds the cat, she comes over and says, through her body language, “Hold me instead.” We’re not sure how to handle this so both animals feel loved and appreciated. -- Cats and Dogs Dear Cats and Dogs: You are blessed to have such loving animals and smart to take their feelings seriously. In a 2014 study, researchers at the University of California, San Diego found evidence that dogs do in fact experience jealousy. So for the cat’s sake, as well as the dog’s, it is important to reassure your dog by petting her at the same time. Either you or your husband can hold the cat while the other pets the dog. If you are alone, then pet both animals at the same time. As long as you pet them both, your household will literally be in good hands. Dear Readers: One of the many joys of writing this column is finding out which topics resonate with readers. Most recently, it was business cards. I have chosen two of the many letters I received on this issue. Hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did. Dear Annie: It was very heartening to read that you strongly recommend business cards and thank-you notes. I have found that the younger generation of businesspeople are not very businesslike. The most exasperating lazy habit is that so many don’t even sign their email. They expect you to extract their name from their email address. Signature blocks make a business card valuable, and these cards eliminate the need to Google for contact information. -- Dial Generation Nanny Dear Nanny: You are not alone, as you will see by the next letter. Dear Annie: This morning, my father walked into the office and handed me your column about handing out business cards. We run and operate a family business that was established by my grandfather in 1959, founded on old-school principles. The importance of networking, being involved in the community, and getting your name out there has been preached to me over the years. It was refreshing to read your opinion that business cards hold a lot of importance and value. And I liked that you mentioned sending a handwritten thank-you card. These small things really do make a big difference. I couldn’t agree more, and you’ve helped put an exclamation point on what my grandfather and my father have been preaching to me. I think it made my father’s day, judging by the smile on his face when he handed me the article. Dear Patrick: You made my day -- judging by the smile on my face! Thank you. And you’re right; good manners go a long way toward business success.
HINTS FROM HELOISE EVERYTHING IS JUST ‘PEACHY’ Dear Heloise: My husband loves fried peach pies. However, I have been unable to find dried peaches in any grocery store in our area for several years now. Do you know why they are unavailable? -- Mary Helen F., Hooks, Texas Mary Helen, try a specialty store, such as a health-food store, or if you search the internet, you will find places that sell dried peaches. Just type in “dried peaches,” and you’ll find various sources that will sell you dried fruit of any kind. -- Heloise SPIDER CONTROL Dear Heloise: I read your column in the Orange County (Calif.) Register, and I have a question: Do you have a recipe using baking soda or vinegar to control insects (spiders and roaches)? -Dennis D., La Palma, Calif. Dennis, yes, I do, and in fact there are several ways to repel spiders and roaches. In a large spray bottle, add: 1 cup of vinegar, 1 teaspoon of salt, 4 drops of peppermint oil (or citronella or tea tree oil), then fill up the rest of the bottle with water and shake well. Spiders hate the smell of peppermint, citronella and eucalyptus. Be sure to spray all nooks and crevices, windowsills and around doors. Spray any spiderwebs you see, compost piles and in your garage. -- Heloise FLAT COFFEE FILTERS Dear Heloise: We use a basket-type coffee filter, and the last ones in a package tend to get flat. I discovered that if you turn them upside down and use the bottom ones first, that problem is fixed! -- Cindy H. in Ohio

Emmy Award-winning ‘Benson’ star Robert Guillaume dies at 89 By HILLEL ITALIE AP National Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Robert Guillaume, who rose from squalid beginnings in St. Louis slums to become a star in stage musicals and win Emmy Awards for his portrayal of the sharptongued butler in the TV sitcoms "Soap" and "Benson," has died at age 89. Guillaume died at home Tuesday in Los Angeles, according to his widow, Donna Brown Guillaume. He had been battling prostate cancer, she told The Associated Press. Among Guillaume's achievements was playing Nathan Detroit in the first all-black version of "Guys and Dolls," earning him a Tony nomination in 1977. He became the first African-American to sing the title role of "Phantom of the Opera," in a Los Angelesbased production, and was the voice of the shaman-slash-mandrill Rafiki in the film version of "The Lion King." "Robert was a lovely man who we brought in for one interpretation of Rafiki and who then completely reinvented it working in the studio. His passion and dedication and willingness to keep working created an indelible Disney character for the ages," Thomas Schumacher, president and producer of Disney Theatrical Productions, said in a statement. Guillaume won a Grammy in 1995 when a read-aloud version of "The Lion King," which he narrated, was cited for best spoken word album for children. He also served as narrator for the animated HBO series "Happily Ever After: Fairy Tales for Every Child," which aired form 1995-2000. "Giant of stage + screen," tweeted filmmaker Ava DuVernay. "Also let's remember that Robert Guillaume was among the first celebs to appear at AIDS fundraisers. Thank you, sir." Actor Josh Charles tweeted "Robert Guillaume radiated such warmth, light, dignity, and above all, class. That smile and laugh touched us all." While playing in "Guys and Dolls," Guillaume was asked to test for the role of an acerbic butler of a governor's mansion in "Soap," a prime-time TV sitcom that satirized soap operas. "The minute I saw the script, I knew I had a live one," he recalled in 2001. "Every role was written against type, especially Benson, who wasn't subservient to anyone. To me, Benson was the revenge for all those stereotyped guys who looked like Benson in the '40s and '50s (movies) and had to keep their mouths shut." The character became so popular that ABC was persuaded to launch a spinoff, simply called "Benson," which lasted from 1979 to 1986. In the series, the main character went from running the kitchen for a governor to becoming a political aide to eventually becoming lieutenant governor. "Benson" made Guillaume wealthy and famous, but he regretted that his character's wit had to be toned down to make him more appealing as the lead star. The career of Robert Guillaume (pronounced with a hard "g'': gee-yome) almost ended in January 1999 at Walt Disney Studio. He was appearing in Aaron Sorkin's TV series "Sports Night" as Isaac Jaffe, executive producer of a sports highlight show. Returning to his dressing room after a meal away from the studio, he suddenly collapsed. "I fell on the floor, and I couldn't get up," he told an interviewer in 2001. "I kept floundering about on the floor and I didn't know why I couldn't do it. I didn't know it was it was caused by my left side being weaker than the other."
Fortunately, St. Joseph Hospital was directly across from the studio. The 71-year-old actor was taken there and treated for a stroke— the result of a blood clot that blocked circulation of blood to the brain. They are fatal in 15 percent of the cases. Guillaume's stroke was minor, causing relatively slight damage and little effect on his speech. After six weeks in the hospital, he underwent a therapy of walks and sessions in the gym. He returned to the second season of "Sports Night," and it was written into the script that Isaac Jaffee was recovering from a stroke. Because of slim ratings, the second season proved to be the last for the much-praised show. Guillaume resumed his career and traveled as a new spokesman for the American Stroke Association. He also made appearance for the American Heart Association. "I'm a bastard, a Catholic, the son of a prostitute, and a product of the poorest slums of St. Louis." This was the opening of "Guillaume: A Life," his 2002 autobiography in which he laid bare his troubled life. He was born fatherless on Nov. 30, 1927, in St. Louis, one of four children. His mother named him Robert Peter Williams; when he became a performer he adopted Guillaume, a French version of William, believing the change would give him distinction. His early years were spent in a back-alley apartment without plumbing or electricity; an outhouse was shared with two dozen people. His alcoholic mother hated him because of his dark skin, and his grandmother rescued him, taught him to read and enrolled him in a Catholic school. Seeking but denied his mother's love and scorned by nuns and students because of his dark skin, the boy became a rebel, and that carried into his adult life. He was expelled from school and then the Army, though he was granted an honorable discharge. He fathered a daughter and abandoned the child and her mother. He did the same to his first wife and two sons and to another woman and a daughter. He worked in a department store, the post office and as St. Louis's first black streetcar motorman. Seeking something better, he enrolled at St. Louis University, excelling in philosophy and Shakespeare, and then at Washington University (St. Louis) where a music professor trained the young man's superb tenor singing voice. After serving as an apprentice at theaters in Aspen, Colorado, and Cleveland, the newly named Guillaume toured with Broadway shows "Finian's Rainbow," ''Golden Boy," ''Porgy and Bess" and "Purlie," and began appearing on sitcoms such as "The Jeffersons" and "Sanford and Son." Then came "Soap" and "Benson." His period of greatest success was marred by tragedy when his 33-year-old son Jacques died of complications from AIDS in 1990. Guillaume's first stable relationship came when he married TV producer Donna Brown in the mid-1980s and had a daughter, Rachel. At last he was able to shrug off the bitterness he had felt throughout his life. "To assuage bitterness requires more than human effort," he wrote at the end of his autobiography. "Relief comes from a source we cannot see but can only feel. I am content to call that source love." In this Sept. 22, 1985 file photo, actor Robert Guillaume, star of "Benson", gets a hug from Linda Gray of "Dallas" who presented him with the Emmy for outstanding lead actor in a comedy series, in Pasadena, Calif.

Viewership down for ‘Walking Dead’ debut NEW YORK (AP) — “The Walking Dead” aired its 100th episode for its eighth season premiere the other night, although it wasn’t necessarily cause for celebration at AMC. The show had 11.4 million viewers on Sunday night, down 33 percent from last fall’s seventh season premiere, which had 17 million, the Nielsen company said. AMC said there are all kinds of mitigating factors, primarily that last year’s premiere was a cliffhanger that drew an unusual number of fans. Live television viewership is down across the board, particularly among the younger viewers that are the most avid fans of “The Walking Dead.” It’s still the most popular scripted show on television for viewers aged 18-to-49-yearsold. The premiere numbers are on a par with the 10.9 million viewer average for the last eight episodes that aired. But those numbers have to raise eyebrows over at AMC, particularly coming off a season that disappointed some of the show’s fans. Despite the ratings weakness, the season debut received some strong reviews. The episode “manages to add some energy into an aging series and to at least partially hit the reset button,” wrote Kelly Lawler for USA Today.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Oct. 25, 2017: This year you experience life more fully than you have in quite a while. You discover that nearly anything is possible, if you decide to make it so. You have entered a new life and luck cycle this month; the first year is often considered the luckiest. If you are single, the love of your life might appear. Be open to a different type of energy. If you are attached, the two of you open doors and make your bond more intense. You seem secure with each other and ready to let the relationship evolve to a new level. Trust financial advice from CAPRICORN. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie
ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett
ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe
ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Be willing to take a stand and allow others to do the same. A partnership enhances your sense of financial well-being. Your significant other or a business partner appears to be lucky. Listen to your intuition. You will head in a new direction. Tonight: A must appearance. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Reach out to someone you care about who has expertise in an issue that you are dealing with. Get strong feedback, and be willing to deal with a problem directly. If you still feel unsure, consider which path would make you happiest, then follow it. Tonight: Paint the town red. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You could see an opportunity open up during your day-to-day travels. You might not be sure whether you want to go for it, though. Remain confident that you will make the correct choice. Many eyes look to you with admiration. Tonight: Seek out a favorite person. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might be emotional about a certain choice. Your creativity seems to affect many different facets of your life. You will come up with unusual solutions and attract the interest and/or admiration of someone you respect. Tonight: Treat yourself and take a midweek break. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Pace yourself, as you have a lot of ground to cover. Listen to the different possibilities and remain positive about a change on the homefront. You might not be sure of the costs, as the other parties aren’t sure either. You will want to find out! Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH You express unusual creativity in an upbeat way. Your imagination doesn’t seem to have limits. You could be great fun to chat with, and others certainly seem to know that fact. Your popularity soars. Confusion surrounds a relationship. Tonight: Make the most of the night. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You serve as an anchor for your family. You might want to pursue a change to your domestic or personal life. You can want a change, but you can’t demand it. Remain sensitive to someone else’s suggestions. Try one out to see what happens. Tonight: The action is at home. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Your sense of direction proves to be more important than you realize. Respond to calls and emails before making any decisions; otherwise, you might find that you have to adjust your initial plan. A loved one demonstrates his or her caring. Tonight: Out at a favorite spot. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Curb an innate possessiveness. You might want to focus on certain private matters. Know that you don’t need to share what is on your mind with others. Opportunities come from this reflection, and you could be surprised by what comes down the path. Tonight: Accept an offer. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Be forthright with a dear friend who seems to be a bit excessive in how he or she handles life in general. This person often is very lucky for you. Make plans to get together over the weekend. Exchange thoughts on plans as well as another issue. Tonight: Where the action is. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Others observe how you handle yourself in public. Consider what is going on around you and your long-term needs. Discussions with a higher-up or older friend point you in the right direction. Listen to your instincts about a money matter. Tonight: Stay within your budget. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You could be on top of your game, and a friend won’t hesitate to point this out. You seem to be able to detach and see the whole picture without a problem. Your insights will be well-received. A friendship plays a significant role in staying on course. Tonight: Out with friends.
