Community forum stays true to its ‘positivity’ mission By Lori Szepelak Correspondent WESTFIELD-From the moment that Lesley Lambert envisioned a unique way to bring positivity to the Westfield community, she has been vigilant ensuring that posts on the We Love Westfield Community Forum ring true to that mission. On a recent evening at the Shortstop Bar & Grill, Lambert and her “director of positivity” Nick Niedzielski conducted a first “meet and greet” to say hi to those who enjoy the Facebook forum and con- tribute to its ongoing success. “Since the forum started seven years ago, we have grown to 9,200 members and we encourage each and every one of them to share positive news about the city,” said Lambert. Niedzielski echoed those sentiments. “We want people to have a conversation about our community,” said Niedzielski, adding, “but it has to be positive.” More than 30 city residents turned out for the early evening gathering from 5:30 to 8, many enjoy- ing a meal while they sat and chatted with fellow forum followers. Jen Thielen, who has been an Westfield Starfires vs. Pittsfield Sun baseball “early member,” is associated with Second Christian Walsh (28) makes contact for the Westfield Starfires.

(AP) — Authorities have concluded their investigation into the dog mauling death of a 14-year- old Massachusetts boy without bringing criminal charges. The Bristol district attorney’s office said in a statement Friday that the death of Ryan Hazel, of Rehoboth, on May 9 was “sadly a terrible tragedy.” Ryan was killed by five dogs he regularly cared for on the property of a dog trainer in Dighton. The office says the cause of the attack is not known and likely never will be known. Officials say “no evidence points to Ryan’s actions or con- duct contributing at all” to his death. The four Belgian Malinois and a Dutch shepherd were all subsequently euthanized on May 23. The dogs’ owner cooperated with investigators. The dogs were not properly licensed but were vaccinated.

2 arrested in connection to Boston courthouse stabbing BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts State Police say they have arrested two men in connection with a brazen stabbing inside a Boston courthouse. Police say 23-year-old Jeffrey Toney and 18-year-old Jerrell Greene-Martin, both of Boston, were arrested Wednesday and arraigned Thursday. Greene-Martin was held on $25,000 bail after pleading not guilty to assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, while Toney was held on $7,500 bail after pleading not guilty to assault and battery. Investigators say the stabbing in a common area stemmed from a possibly gang-related altercation inside the Suffolk Superior Court building on Jan. 2 between two groups. The 22-year-old victim was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital and survived. The suspects immediately fled. It could not immediately be determined who represented the suspects in court.

Mastroianni and Hart HHHH A partner has special plans that he or she might not share with you. This person would prefer to surprise you. In either case, be smart and play it passive. Allow the other party to have his or her way. News from a distance heads your way. Tonight: Share your news. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Allow an associate to demonstrate his or her loyalty and sensitivity. This per- son might choose a manner that does not impress you. Be gracious.

ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Reach out to a sibling or a neigh- bor. You often share news with this person that sometimes turns out to be gossip. Your willingness to open up and chat away with this person marks your bond. Tonight: Ex- pect the unexpected. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You might be more concerned with your finances than you need to be. A sense of discomfort surrounds how you deal with a family member or a matter involving your home. Steer clear of major decisions. To- Cryptoquip night: Do not blow your budget. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe HHHHH You beam and others notice.
