Tremblay Assistant Managing Editor On Sunday I attended a lovely event at Westfield State University for the first time. It was the fourth annual Farm to Table Dinner in Henry’s Garden and I can only describe it as “delightful.” The Westfield News was a sponsor of the dinner, which took place beside a vegetable garden at the Horace Mann Center.

Wefing was a professor of journalism and writing at WSU from 1985-2014. He died in 2015 and from what I’m told about him, I am sorry I never knew him. In addition to teaching, Wefing was an avid gardener and maintained a gar- den on campus, known as Henry’s Garden. The scholarship was started by Wefing’s family, including his wife Marilyn Trump claims G-7 ‘unity’ on Sandidge, a WSU professor of English, after his death. Before teaching, Wefing was a reporter and editor and believed in the same values I believe in as a journalist: Reporters must be fair, accurate and curious.

By “family,” they mean the people you’re related to by blood. My mother was a toxic presence in my life from age 11 to 22. I recently took a big step by asking her not to contact me anymore, instead letting me initiate con- Entertainment versation. My life has only improved since making this change and since moving out of her home. No longer do I have to deal with her daily gaslighting -- telling me that my memory’s incorrect, that her good intentions are more important than the pain she’s caused me. No longer do I have to spend hours of the day denying my truth, living a lie. She may be upset with me for choosing to severely limit our communication, but I have to take care of myself first. I have tried to make amends again and again and again. I have tried method after method. At some point, it became obvious I was talking to a wall. So, I wish more people understood that birth family isn’t everything -- at least, not for everyone. Please stop telling people things like, “But she’s your mom!” or “But you’re family!” We cannot choose the family we’re born into. But we can choose the people we keep in our lives. People who love and respect us -- they come first. -- Better Off With My Chosen Family Dear Chosen Family: I’m printing your letter to help peo- ple be more sensitive to someone in your position. Congratulations on finding friends who love and support you. While I’m not saying you have to interact with your mother on a daily basis, it might benefit you to seek individual counseling for better understanding of why she is like talking to a wall. Or why she does the things that she does. In that understanding, you might have more compassion for her limitations. Sorry, but after all, she is your mom. Dear Annie: I can’t stop thinking about your July 14 col- umn, “Furious Over a Ring.” May I add to your spot-on advice? Do NOT sell the ring. You fought hard to keep something that symbolizes the love you had for your precious mother. You rose above the manipulation that was tossed your way.

Jolie shares pride in son Maddox, joining Marvel movie ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Angelina Jolie says she’s “so proud” that her 18-year-old son is leaving home to study biochemistry in South Korea. The actress was seen in video released several days ago dropping her son Maddox off at Yonsei University in Seoul, and holding back tears. “I didn’t realize everybody had watched me do it,” she said Saturday at the D23 expo in Anaheim, California. “It felt very private when we were there and just fun. But the school is so wonderful and we’re so proud that he’s there. And it’s a great university and I’m just amazed I have a son who’s that smart.” Jolie is in two upcoming Disney movies: a sequel to “Maleficent” and Marvel Studios’ “Eternals.” “They called me — but I was so happy. I think I just didn’t see myself that way. I thought I was kind of ready to direct and sit home,” Jolie said of joining “Eternals.” “I was but now I’m now I’m going to be dressing in gold and jumping around.” “Eternals,” which will feature actors including Salma Hayek, Brian Tyree Henry and Kumail Nanjiani, is set for release next year. It’s directed by filmmaker Chloe Zhao, until now best known for critically acclaimed indie films like “The Rider.” Angelina Jolie THE WESTFIELD NEWS WWW.THEWESTFIELDNEWS.COM MONDAY, AUGUST 26, 2019 - PAGE 13
