To the Editor, Hello Westfield, especially, Ward 3; Hi folk…OK, to respond to questions: who might I vote for, for President…right now Joe Biden.

The veterans will attend responsibility. Too many are shoot from the hip types. Others a service nearby at the Bayeux War Cemetery. (AP Photo/Francisco Seco) lack real experience. There are so many different subjects that a President has to consider, and many are inter-related, that you really have to know the inside track or how things work on the world stage. There are others that I like, maybe for VP, to gain experiences and insights for their futures. Another reason for Biden is that too many of the other Dem candidates are using D-Day 75: the same Trumpster Tactics that self-titled Republicans are using. As well, having such extreme program ideas that cannot work as they have presented them. Yes, we need better health- care resources; yes we need to deal with College Debt, but their plans won’t work especially with the HUGE National Debt, and deficit spending done by the Republicans.

(Photo by Chris Putz) did not slow the Longmeadow High School girls lacrosse offense. The long break between the end of the regular season and the start of the postseason, in effect, appeared to recharge one of the region’s most power- ful teams. Top-seeded Longmeadow reeled off 23 unan- swered goals to ninth-seeded Westfield’s net sum of zero for a 23-0 shutout in a Central-West Division 1 quarterfinal Wednesday. “That takes serious dedication,” Westfield girls lacrosse head coach Paul Fenwick said of Longmeadow’s continued dominance. “There’s a reason they’re number one. I love the matchup every year. It shows us where we actually stand in the big- ger scheme of things.” It took Longmeadow (14-4-1) one minute, 48 seconds to get on the board – Ilana Kofman got the Lancers party started – and the rest was history. Kofman went on to finish with two goals and five assists. Longmeadow’s Jenna Joseph led all scorers with seven goals. “We had about two weeks to prepare,” Joseph said. “Thirteen days of hard work and running, and it Longmeadow’s Anna Maurer (15) carries the ball upfield with paid off today. …We came out fired up and ready to Westfield’s (34) shadowing her every step.
