He added he hoped to learn more as a reserve officer so he was well positioned to be hired for future openings within the department. “I’m a people person, a good listener and I learn fast,” he said of his strengths. When asked about a police officer’s most important role, Shoemaker said how an officer conducts him or herself “says a lot.” For example, Shoemaker said when pulling over a vehicle, he treats the occu- pants as human beings first, not as crimi- nals.

To here’s what you can and cannot have.” Somers said, adding, “We need you to participate with be afraid to drink your own water is kind of scary.” These classes are necessary for some, because cannabis is a bit more difficult to grow and maintain as a plant than something like tomatoes. If one has the space, it can be grown in their backyard where it can become much bigger and produce more flower than if it was grown indoors. The tradeoff is that it exposes the plant to more insects and one has less control over the climate the plant grows in. When it is grown indoors, the plant’s size is restricted to the space it is growing in. However, one can better protect the plant and program an ultraviolet light to give it the exact amount of light and heat they want. The startup costs for growing indoors are much higher than growing outdoors. Brian Kelly noted that anyone can attend future classes even if they don’t want to grow marijuana. Many of the techniques they teach can also apply to other common garden plants. He said gardeners can increase the size and quality of other plants using the techniques that they teach for cannabis.

Suspect Continued from Page 1 and crockpot.” Hiltbrand told Williams that he had sold the television for $50 and “used the proceeds to purchase Crack Cocaine.” He appeared before Judge William O’Grady later Friday in Westfield District Court for arraignment on charges of breaking and entering a building in the nighttime with intent to commit a felony and larceny for a building. O’Grady set bail at $1,000 pending an Aug. 7 hearing but, for Hiltbrand, bail was not immediately relevant because the charges potentially represent a violation of probation imposed as a result of previous charges. In February, 2019, Hiltbrand had pleaded guilty to a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon stemming from an altercation with a motorist and had been placed on probation for a year. He was held without right to bail Friday pending a violation of probation hearing scheduled for Aug. 7. Residents John Bowen and Kathy Hillman discuss the issues before the meeting began.

Tonight: Get a good night’s sleep. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your emotional candor emerges more often than not. You probably recognize that some people cannot deal with this honesty. Someone’s attitude could reflect his or her discomfort more than usual. Tonight: Together with friends, midweek break. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH You can deal with another person’s dissatisfaction better than usual. Know that the base of this schism might be a misunderstanding and the other B.C. Mastroianni and Hart party’s insecurities. You might want to approach this issue differently this time. Tonight: Head home early. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You can be very successful in dealing with financial matters, but if another party decides to disagree, you cannot get past an issue as easily. You might be dealing with another person’s need for power. Tonight: Detach and listen to understand what is going on. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Defer to others and let them seize the stage. You cannot help but enjoy others’ perspectives, especially if you Rick Detorie are secure. You normally agree; however, ONE BIG HAPPY a rift might have to do with a need to be heard. Tonight: Munchies for two. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You plunge into the workday with energy, knowing how much you would like to accomplish. Finances could throw you an unanticipated curveball, putting you off your schedule. Tap into your in- genuity for a resolution. Tonight: Have a long overdue chat with a close friend or loved one. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Tap into your creativity to re- solve a last-minute snafu. You could be overwhelmed by all that you hear. Try ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett not to push away negative comments. Listen and see if there is any truth in the comments that needs to be dealt with. To- night: Take a break from the intensity of the moment. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Stay centered on priorities and do not be overwhelmed by what you feel. Some difficult-to-define feelings may seem to come from out of nowhere. When the time is right, you will be able to understand what is bothering you. Tonight: Let your fun, spirited nature emerge. Cryptoquip AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You will tend to say exactly what ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe you want. Others might have a strong reaction to your words. Listen, and perhaps be more graceful in your word choice, but keep the essence of your thought. Someone’s tantrum will pass. This person is exercising his or her will! Tonight: Happily, at home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You might be dealing with funds, vacations and personal needs. Do not for- get to share your thoughts with others, especially those who are close to you and could be impacted by your decisions. Lis- ten to comments. Tonight: Share thoughts with a trusted friend to get feedback! PAGE 14 - WEDNESDAY, JULY 24, 2019 www.thewestfieldnews.com THE WESTFIELD NEWS
