PAGE 4 - WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9, 2021 WWW.THEWESTFIELDNEWS.COM THE WESTFIELD NEWS COMMENT Gov. Baker bids to shift professional licensees to DPH By COLIN A. YOUNG State House News Service BOSTON - If Gov. Charlie Baker's latest executive branch reorganization becomes a reality, 13 health-related licensing boards and the 88,000 licenses they oversee would be trans- ferred from the Division of Professional Licensure under the umbrella of the Department of Public Health. That would leave the Division of Professional Licensure with about 492,000 licenses to oversee and would streamline things for applicants, license holders, the public and state regulators, DPL Commissioner Layla D'Emilia told the Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure Committee during a hearing on the governor's proposal (H 3774) Monday. "By transferring these health-related licensing boards to DPH, the commonwealth will be better served and supported by a state agency more appropriately aligned with their areas of expertise. Licensed health professionals will directly benefit from the oversight of DPH, which is staffed by many public health experts and licensed health professionals who regularly work with a myriad of state and federal laws and regulations. This will foster more collaboration and coordination between DPH, the board and licensed health professionals," She said. "This proposal will also benefit consumers of the services pro- vided by these licensed health care professionals. DPH will now effectively serve as a one-stop shop for consumers wishing to obtain information about, or file a complaint about, a licensed health care professional working in the commonwealth. Local control at risk under Consumers will benefit from a unified approach to practice standards and consistent enforcement efforts."

DADDY’S HOME Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein ROYAL STARS ontract ridge HOROSCOPE C B BY GEORGIA NICOLS HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, June 9, 2021: You are optimistic, determined and intelli- gent. You are also witty and colorful. You can be distracted because you don’t like to be bored. Personally, you are caring and compas- sionate. In this year ahead, you will get along with people and make friends more easily as well. Some of you might begin a new relation- DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker ship. Work successfully with others.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19)  Today you feel sober and serious about life today. Because of this, you might not share your feelings with others, but if you do talk to someone, it will likely be someone older and more experienced because they can give you advice. Tonight: Do mental work. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) SCARY GARY Mark Buford  When it comes to money today, you will be careful and conservative. You will view financial deals with care and concern. If shopping, you won’t be extravagant. Instead, you will focus on buying long-lasting items. (Impressive.) Tonight: Count your assets. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)  Today both the Sun and Moon are in your sign, and the Moon is dancing with Saturn, which makes you see things as serious, sober and realistic. However, it also makes you patient and ready to deal with adversity. Tonight: Make future plans. Crosswords CANCER (June 21-July 22)  You will be happy if you can find DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni some solitude today to work alone or behind the scenes. You’ll be pleased to go off by your- self and evaluate your life and what’s happen- ing all around you. It feels good to take stock. This gives you a baseline so you know where you are. Tonight: Enjoy solitude. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)  Welcome the opportunity to talk to someone older or more experienced today, perhaps a female. You know you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Why not stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before you? Save yourself a decade! Get any advice that comes your way. Tonight: Talk to someone. B.C. Mastroianni and Hart VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)  People will admire you today, especially if you can offer practical advice. You might make some wise observations about the past and how the past might play out in the present or even in the future. Others sense your confidence and willingness to face reality. Tonight: You will impress someone. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)  A teacher, professor or guru-like figure in your life might have some wise advice for you today. Or perhaps this person will teach you something. This is also an excellent day to study and work on an existing ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie paper, because you’re willing to slog away at the nuts and bolts of it all. Tonight: Learn something new. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)  This is an excellent day to take a look at your finances, especially your debt. Because you’re in a realistic, practical frame of mind, you will welcome knowing the facts. When it comes to money, information is power. (So, how bad does it look?) Tonight: Someone will help you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)  A serious discussion with someone close to you might be productive today. If you have a problem, they might help you with ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett practical suggestions. You also might be intro- duced to someone older or more experienced or, possibly, a person who is from your past. Tonight: Listen to others. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)  Today someone is willing to help you in a physical, practical sense. Don’t reject their help even though you feel you can do the job. Not only might it make your life easier, but by accepting their help, you’ll make them feel useful. Tonight: Improve your health. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)  This is a good day to teach young people. It’s also an excellent day to hone a Cryptoquip particular technique, whether it’s in the arts ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe (perhaps a musical instrument) or in sports. Tonight: Seek improvements. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)  You might discuss memories about the past or old family matters with a relative today.
