Hello, I’d like to take this opportunity to voice my concerns over the current Truck Traffic situation affecting the residents of Holyoke and Papermill Road. Although I no longer live in that Ward I was impacted by the constant industrial traffic these residents are living with and know exactly what they are going through. Hats off to the individual for writing that thorough Pulseline entry on Truck Traffic that was printed in the paper on March 20th. I can say with confidence those words accurately portray the thoughts of many residents on Holyoke Road and provide suggestions on the right thing to do. Let’s continue to propose solutions, not problem shifting. To start off on a note of positivity, it was great to see the 24 Hour Truck Exclusion on Papermill road get voted down the other night. Although I understand why the folks on Papermill would want it the fact is that a 24 hour Paper Mill exclusion is completely unfair and unjust to the residents of East Mountain and Holyoke Road. The next thing that should happen is the 13 hour night time exclusion should be eliminated as well. I’m not even sure how that undiscerning ban passed in the first place. Why is Papermill Road given preferential treatment over Holyoke Road? Everyone knows the trucks should not be on either street but Adviser and allies warning it is downright cruel to push all the traffic onto one road, at any time of the day or night. Papermill has a slower speed limit and a natural curvature that limits how fast these trucks can go thus reducing noise. Most noise comes from the 4-way stop at the Trump against issuing pardons intersection of Joseph and Paper Mill.

THE WESTFIELD NEWS www.thewestfieldnews.com THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 2019 - PAGE 9 SPORTS Pastrnak’s hat trick, points carry Bruins past Rangers By KEN POWTAK Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — It certainly appears David Pastrnak has worked the rust off. Pastrnak had three goals and two assists for a career- high five points Wednesday night, sending the Boston Bruins to a 6-3 victory over the New York Rangers. Playing his fifth game since missing 16 following left thumb surgery, the winger raised his goal total to a team- leading 36. “Pretty close,” Boston coach Bruce Cassidy said when asked if Pastrnak is fully recovered. “Obviously, a great night. He was firing the puck well. It looked like he was more comfortable handling it in traffic.” Coming off a 3-1 road trip but disappointed after blow- ing a two-goal lead Monday night against NHL-best Tampa Bay, the Bruins broke it open with four goals in the third period for their 12th consecutive victory at home. It’s their longest streak since winning 14 straight during the 2008-09 season. Pastrnak completed his fourth career hat trick and third this season with a power-play goal to make it 4-2 with Southwick-Tolland Regional 7:08 to play, triggering a flow of hats that littered the ice. He became the first Bruins player with a trio of hat tricks in one season since Hall of Famer Cam Neely in 1993-94. “It helps a lot for me coming back from after a long time (away),” Pastrnak said. “It was a little bit tough at the High Spring Softball Practice beginning.” The Bruins had gone 1-7-2 in their last 10 games Southwick girls varsity softball getting ready for the upcoming season. (Photos by Bill Deren) against the Rangers, including losing the first two meet- ings this season. Backup goalie Jaroslav Halak made 20 saves. Jake DeBrusk, Charlie McAvoy and Patrice Bergeron also scored for Boston, which went 4 for 6 on the power play. “It’s hard enough to win in this league when you don’t beat yourself,” Rangers coach David Quinn said. “We did a lot of good things early, hanging around a good hockey team, then just imploded.” Mika Zibanejad had two goals and Ryan Strome also scored for the Rangers, who have lost six of seven as the season nears a close. Their rebuilding project continues after dealing away eight players off the roster at the past two trade deadlines. Henrik Lundqvist stopped 26 shots, losing for just the second time in his last nine games against the Bruins. He made a highlight-reel save midway into the first period on Chris Wagner when he lunged across the crease to make a stick save. “They have a lot of good players, but first, to win any games we have to play smart,” Lundqvist said. “We can’t have two too many men on the ice (penalties), for exam- ple. There’s no excuse for that.” Pastrnak’s second goal broke a 1-all tie at 9:15 of the second. It came off a nice setup from David Krejci, who cut around Rangers defenseman Tony DeAngelo and shifted from forehand to backhand before slipping a cross- ice pass to the winger, who sent a one-timer into the net from the right circle. Pastrnak then made a beautiful cross-ice pass to DeBrusk, who made it a two-goal lead 3:19 into the third. With the Rangers short-handed following their first too- many-men-on-the-ice penalty, Pastrnak one-timed a feed from Brad Marchand, moving Boston ahead 2:48 into the game. The Rangers tied it with a power-play goal of their own when Strome sent Zibanejad in alone and he reached back to slip a forehand behind Halak as he was moving across the edge of the crease at 16:29 of the first period. NOTES: The Bruins announced they’ve reached a 10-year agreement with their AHL affiliate in Providence, Rhode Island. They’ve been together continually since 1992. ... Team president Neely met the media to discuss the agreement with Providence and was asked about the probable first-round playoff matchup with Toronto, which entered the night as the Eastern Conference’s fourth-best team. “We don’t want to look past anybody. We’ve got a strong division with Toronto and Tampa,” he said. “Would I like to see 2 play 7? Probably.” ... Boston D Torey Krug returned after missing six games while he was in concus- sion protocol. ... Nearly half (40 of 76) of the Rangers’ games have been decided by one goal. ... New York D Brady Skjei took a puck off the side of the head and left the ice in the third. UP NEXT Southwick track team was enjoying the great weather as they prepare for the spring track season.
