It takes only two hours per week and volunteers are reimbursed for their gas mileage. There is no charge to seniors for the service which is funded by the Westfield Community Development Block Grant, Sarah Gillett Services for the Elderly, the Massachusetts Executive Office of Elder Affairs, and private donations. For more infor- mation, contact Joyce Peregrin at the Senior Center at 562- 6435.

The Medical Reserve Corps of Hampden County has prepared a family records packet to assist in the planning process. The document is extensive but simple to complete. “Be Aware, Be Prepared!” packets are available at the Westfield Senior Center, 45 Noble Street. Once completed, the document should be kept in a clear watertight plastic bag, ready to be taken with you in the event of a disaster if you need to evacuate your home. It is the hope of the Medical Reserve Corps that you will never have to use the “Be Aware, Be Prepared!” document. But hope is not a plan!

DADDY’S HOME Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein YOUR Contract Bridge HOROSCOPE By Jaqueline Bigar

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, July 6, 2019: This year, you open up to fast changes that could alter your life’s direction. The unex- pected -- especially around your goals, de- sires and friendships -- could deliver some surprises and changes. If single, you could meet someone out of the blue and then an- other desirable person! If you’re attached, DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker you and your partner might suddenly decide to head in a new direction. If you both feel strongly about this change, go for it. LEO reminds you that you have one life to live; live it well.

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) HHH You have a lot to accomplish and must do so quickly as well. As you dig into your to-do list, you might like the challenge. You might surprise yourself by taking a SCARY GARY Mark Buford shortcut that you normally wouldn’t. To- night: Nix a risk. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Like many other people, you’ll hit a challenge during the day. Few people will have the creativity or precision that’s available to you. Your unexpected behavior could trigger another person. Look at what’s going on with him or her. Tonight: Go for the moment. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Your personality is positive, so Crosswords you opt to stay close to home rather than get into a volatile situation. Be as clear as you can be about what you want and where DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni you’re heading. Tonight: Entertain at home. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might be more emotional than other signs are. Today, you opt to display your logical, reflective thinking. A friend who never realized you had that side in you could be jolted. Tonight: Be spontaneous. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Step back; understand what’s go- ing on with an older relative or a must ap- pearance. Curb last-minute spending; you’ll need to keep to your budget. Be aware of another person’s implicit demands. You’ll learn to say “enough” or “no” to these de- B.C. Mastroianni and Hart mands. Tonight: Be willing to say no. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH No matter what goes on or what your choices are, you beam. Fatigue plays a significant role in your decision-making process. You might opt for a nap, especially if you’re expecting a hurdle or important event later. Tonight: Beam in more of what you want. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You might not be comfortable with what’s going on. You also might not want to push too hard to achieve what you want or convince another person to go along with you. Chill. Give yourself time to think ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie through a problem. Give the other party time, too. Tonight: Take a back seat. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH You might want to move on and try another approach. You won’t want to go down the same path with a friend or former lover. You might desire more comfort and relaxation. Today, join friends; make no de- cisions. Tonight: Let the party go on. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Step up to the plate; be willing to take a risk. You might be uncomfortable with what’s going on. You sense that the un- expected is about to plow into your life. Sur- prises are more likely. Lighten up. Tonight: ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett Take the lead role. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH One-on-one relating allows great- er understanding. You and another person will attempt to bridge and understand your differences. Although this process won’t happen overnight, you’ll both become more empathetic to each other. Tonight: Where your friends are. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You enjoy relating on a one-on- one level. Don’t feel as though you need to Cryptoquip do something about a situation. Give the other party space to decide what he or she wants. Nevertheless, if you’re approached ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe by the other party, be open to a discussion. Tonight: Act on a sense of togetherness. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Others seek you out. The person who monopolizes your time and mind could be very different from you. You sense a cold, rational person within this person. Find out what’s really going on. Tonight: Say yes to togetherness and an invitation.
