Wooden nickels you’ll want to pick up By Hope E. Tremblay Correspondent WESTFIELD – The Westfield 350 geocache event went live this week, and enthusiasts are already combing the city looking for treasure. Organizer Dave Flaherty said he had planned to hide the cache – commemorative Westfield 350 wooden nickels – ear- lier, but Mother Nature did not cooperate. “I wanted to wait for the rain to slow and the ground to dry out,” Flaherty said. How the event works is a little different than a traditional geocache, said Flaherty. The caches are not difficult to find, however some are “hidden” off the beaten path, while others are in plain sight. There are 14 caches across the city, which are ammo boxes with a Westfield 350 sticker on top. Inside are one of 14 wooden nickels. Each numbered nickel features the Westfield 350 logo on one side and a sponsor logo or Westfield image – such as the iconic Black Squirrel graphic created by city artist Susan Buffum – on the flip side. There is also informa- tion on the historic nature of each location. Flaherty said collectors who are not able to participate in the geocache event can purchase a set of nickels for $10, and for serious collectors who want a set with matching serial Happy Birthday numbers, the cost is $20. The nickel sets will be available to The Westfield News reached out to anyone and everyone who celebrates their birthday on May 19th to get a picture of them purchase at The Westfield News, along with commemorative in front of the City’s birthday cake on Park Square Green. Showing up for the picture were, (back row, left to right) Erik mugs.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, May 11, 2019: This year, you’re committed to having a good time yet maintaining a strong balance or mix of work and pleasure in your life. At times, this might seem hard to achieve. You have the skill set to make the right mixture a reality and enjoyable as well. If single, you could draw quite a DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker few suitors because you appear extremely personable, desirable and charming. You might choose to just date and not make a choice as far as having a sweetie. You’ll know when you meet the right person. If attached, you and your partner grow closer by accepting your differences. Let the wild thing within you out more often. LEO often seems flashy to you, but you must admit that you have a great time with them. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult SCARY GARY Mark Buford ARIES (March 20-April 19) HHHH Your fun-loving and unlikely ways make it easy for others to have a great time with you. A serious discussion should probably fall to the wayside or be postponed. A parent or authority figure becomes demanding. Tonight: Let it all hang out. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You might experience tension between what you want to do and what you must do. In fact, this stress point is Crosswords not unusual for you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You could easily become the party animal at an event. You discover how off a loved one might be feeling. As a result, you see this loved one in a new light. You might make independent plans. Tonight: Be loving with a partner. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Express your caring in a mean- ingful manner. For many of you, this might prompt a shopping trip. Buy a meaningful gift that will last for a while or, better yet, forever. Tonight: Where the B.C. Mastroianni and Hart party is. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Your charm and personality draw many admirers. If you’re single and unattached, a flirtation could evolve into a lot more -- if you so desire. Honor a need to slow down. Tonight: Be as free as pos- sible. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Consider assuming a low profile. You might be very happy with taking a lazy day, staying in bed and watching a movie. As you perfect the role of a couch potato, you re-energize. Tonight: Order in. Rick Detorie LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ONE BIG HAPPY HHHHH You have the drive and energy to pull a group of friends together. You ap- pear to have an idea in mind that could be translated into a fun happening. Tonight: Let the fun begin. Get into the moment. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You know that you’re a star. Oth- ers seek you out and often request your company. Today, reverse the process; in- vite several friends over. Whatever you have in mind as a party theme could de- light this group. Tonight: Get into being the center of the night. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett HHHHH Your fiery risk-taking nature ANDY CAPP activates, making it close to impossible to say no to adventure. Break out of the rut; you’ll relish what occurs. Tonight: Honor your need for change. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Highlight one-on-one relating. You’ll find that interacting with one spe- cial person is extremely rewarding. You might want to spend the day together, just the two of you. Experiencing periods like this more often will become a goal. To- night: Not to be found. Cryptoquip AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Others cannot get enough of you. Decide what you like and who you ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe want to spend time with individually. If this person is around, do just that. Go off; indulge in a mutual hobby. Tonight: Say yes to a dear friend’s suggestion. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH If you stay focused, you can ac- complish a tremendous amount. A friend will do his or her best to distract you. Clearly, you have many options. Decide what works best for you and what you want to do. Tonight: The heat is on.
