The Westfield Museum Board of Directors is delighted with the donation. “When I was growing up in Westfield, before comput- ers and tech devices, every home had a dictionary, and many had a set of encyclopedias, but that was about it. Homework and school projects mostly got done at the Athenaeum – the library – and the Reference Desk was where you started,” commented Carol Martin, Project Coordinator for the Museum. “I think it was Miss Wolcott who was Librarian at that time, and on any afternoon, dozens of young people would be in line at the Reference Desk waiting for her assistance or reading and writing at library tables.” Although the exact date the Reference Desk was acquired is not known, the consensus seems to be, judging from its style and design, that it must have been some time in the late 1920’s or early 30’s.

THIS INJURY“ HAS JUST GIVEN ME MORE MOUNTAINS TO CONQUER.

- Brenna”

In a few seconds, Brenna’s life irrevocably changed. Days before beginning college, she was in a devastating car accident. As the only Level 1 trauma center in the region, Brenna was life-flighted to Baystate Medical Center where the trauma team worked to stabilize her life-threatening injuries. “My lungs were collapsing. I had lacerations to my internal organs. I broke a lot of bones in the accident, and several vertebrae. My fractured spine damaged my spinal cord at about chest level, and I have complete paralysis below that point,” she explains. “People see me in a wheelchair, and they think I'm disabled,” Brenna says. “But in reality, this injury has just put more mountains in front of me to get to the top of. I think my calling is to help people with disabilities enjoy their lives to the fullest.” To watch Brenna’s incredible story, go to BaystateHealth.org/Brenna.

On Tuesday, North Elm Butcher Block surprised Westfield resident, Andy Unterreiner, with the awarding of a super-sized Super Bowl party, estimated to feed somewhere in the neighborhood of 15-30 fans. Unterreiner and his guests will be treated to an authentic barbecue- style catered party thanks to North Elm Butcher Block and their store manager D.J. Puza. “Now I really hope the Patriots win,” said Unterreiner, a self-pro- claimed Pats fan. The New England Patriots begin their quest for a sixth ring Sunday when they welcome the Los Angeles Chargers to Gillette Stadium in Foxboro. Will Brady’s bunch be able to turn back father time and sum- mon up one last charge to a World Championship title? Unterreiner believes so, noting his confidence that the Patriots will turn back the eerily dangerous Los Angeles Chargers. Our latest grand prize winner qualified with an undefeated Week 9 entry, going 11-0, including a correct prediction of a Patriots win over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night football.

Puza, left, and Westfield News sports editor Chris Putz, right, for the “Beat ‘The Putz’” grand prize presentation. North Elm Butcher Block donated a mega-sized prize of a homestyle barbecue, catering Unterreiner’s Super Bowl party with food that is expected to feed between 15-30 guests. “That one week I got lucky and nailed them all,” he said. “What are the chances?” No matter what the outcome, Unterreiner’s Super Bowl party now figures to be a hit, regardless. The NFL playoffs should also now be a bit more spiced up for two other local residents, Robert Piper and Stephen Sabadosa. Piper took home a charcoal grill from Manny’s Appliances, our second-place prize and Sabadosa received a gift certificate from International Food Market on Meadow Street.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You become more and more tense as the day goes on. You might need to calm down a personal or domestic issue. A parent also could be difficult.

The recipient of your thoughts could be quite touched. You are not often so direct yet sensitive. Your Cryptoquip words will be remembered for quite a while. Stay in tune with your needs, too. Tonight: You do not need to go far to have a good time. ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You might be getting ready to update or redo a room in your home.

CUP COUNTDOWN QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE

Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual Charlotte’s Roval delivered answers road-course excitement

There will be familiar colors, though a different number, on the Truex car this coming season. [AP FILE]

Why didn’t Bass just stick with the 78 team?

Bass Pro Shops was reportedly fine with Martin Truex Jr., the No. 78 team and Barney Visser’s Furniture Row Racing. But Visser couldn’t find sponsor- ship funding to cover the hole created when the team’s other major benefactor — 5-hour Energy — pulled the plug on its NASCAR marketing plans. That shortfall, along with a reported increase in fees to remain affiliated with Joe Gibbs Racing, led to Visser’s exit.

No one to blame?

Probably not. Cynics will suggest Gibbs raised his affiliation price in an effort to eventually land Ryan Blaney (12) drives past the wrecked cars of Jimmie Johnson (48) and Martin Truex Jr. (78) to win the inaugural Roval race at Charlotte.
