LETTERS TO THE EDITOR To the Editor There is currently a proposal in the Finance Committee of the City Council for this Thursday for a “Capital Plan” to increase the Stormwater fees for the residents and businesses of Westfield and create new positions to do the work. While I understand the need for maintenance and repair of the systems and the requirement by the Federal Government that this be done, an increase in this fee needs to be discussed further and accounting documentation needs to be provided for the current and past fees that were collected to see what projects have been done with these funds.

This process is an extremely Congress leaders invited to expensive undertaking by the property owner’s, and in many cases reduces the size of these developments and useable area.

It will probably elicit some angry responses, but please give your thoughts on leaving the pets at home. -- Don’t Bring Fido Dear Don’t Bring Fido: If one’s dog is well-behaved, it is a nice treat for the owner, the dog and the people around them On The Tube -- the ones who like dogs, anyway -- for the dog to go on adult excursions once in a while. However, I totally understand your concern, and I agree that dogs should not be put into food carts. There are benefits to being around friendly dogs. Petting them is a known stress soother. It feels good and can lower your blood pressure. Studies have shown that petting a dog or cat helps your body release a relaxation hormone and cuts down on levels of a stress hormone. So why not wag more and bark less? I say that because having a dog at a social event gives people the chance to pet the dog when maybe they can’t afford a dog or live in an apartment that does not allow dogs. Dogs are domestic and social animals that love to be with their owners. Dear Annie: I love your column, whether or not I agree with your responses. I’ve never felt compelled to write before, but this time I’m compelled. Your response to “Gramps With a Kid’s Mind” was totally off base! Thank goodness we still have some grandparents (whose ranks I recently joined) who are filled with wonder, humor, kindness and love for life and haven’t become grumpy old men and the kind of grandparents whom kids not only can’t relate to but don’t want to spend time with. I think most of us baby boomers remember the “pull my finger” gag our grandpas did to us with fondness. It’s easy enough to teach your children what’s appropriate for school and what’s not. If this gramp’s grandkids are really getting into trouble with their teachers for silly jokes, that’s a sad commentary on our society. Parents today are so hung up on what people on social media tell them is right and wrong that they’ve lost touch with their own instincts on raising children.
