Listen to latest PulseLine Calls at http://www.thewestfieldnews.com Trump-Putin Relationship? By Norman Halls Contributor During the 2016 Trump campaign, Trump praised the Russian leader. Although Trump said “no dealings with Russia.” Truth emerged that Trump has companies with Russians back to 1987.

(Photo by Bill Deren) Duggan wears down WTA By Chris Putz Staff Writer WESTFIELD – It was a nip-and-tuck game for three quar- ters, and then the wheels fell off (or even two shiny rims for that matter). Duggan Academy put forth a fourth-quarter explosion, extending its six-point lead when Westfield Tech’s big men fouled out en route to a 79-62 win over the Tigers in a high school boys basketball game Friday night. “The game got physical and there were many stoppages in the game,” Westfield Tech coach Kyle Dulude said. “Things didn’t go our way at times.” Brody Zabielski led Westfield Tech with 19 points. Tigers’ Josh Bush recorded a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds. David Tikhonchuk and Derien Wilson Grant each had seven points. “I was pleased with their efforts,” coach Dulude said. “Duggan is a tournament team and we know some little adjust- ments we will need to make if we qualify. Right now we need to focus on the day-to-day and get ready for our next league game.”

DADDY’S HOME Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein YOUR ontract ridge HOROSCOPE C B By Jaqueline Bigar

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Feb. 2, 2019: This year you open up to new possibilities. You might be hesitant to blaze a new trail. You might be more concerned about letting go of what you have. You can weigh the pros and cons. Consider a mini-risk. If you’re single, you have an opportu- nity to date someone completely different from those you have dated in the past. If you’re attract- DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker ed, go ahead. The relationship could be exciting because of your differences. If you’re attached, the two of you are likely to veer off your life plan a little to see how you feel when responding to an inner yearning. Only you will know how you feel. CAPRICORN could become an albatross, always suggesting a conservative course.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 20-April 19) HHHH You might be pushed into the lime- light and encouraged to take charge of an event or SCARY GARY Mark Buford happening. You could feel burdened on some level, yet you will honor the role of leader again. You can go along with this role only to a certain extent. If you’re pushed too hard, your temper will emerge. It’s your weekend too! Tonight: Lighten up the moment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Reach out to others and make a point of understanding their limitations. What would be wise is not to ask others to do something they don’t feel they can do. Pressure builds to make an adjustment. Don’t lose your energy over Crosswords a no-win situation. Tonight: Look beyond the obvious. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni HHHH One-on-one relating draws someone in. You might have an uncomfortable conversa- tion, but once more, it is how you do your conver- sation. Be careful, as you could lose your temper out of the blue. Try to pull back before you get to this point. Tonight: Revise your plans. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Defer to those who can make a dif- ference rather than having this group make demands and then set them in stone. Anger comes forth if you try to change others’ minds or take action to bypass the situation. Tonight: You might need to hang back. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) B.C. Mastroianni and Hart HHH Pace yourself, understanding that you need to handle a problem that affects your per- sonal life. Getting to the bottom of it takes time and volition.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Your creativity emerges when deal- ing with a loved one or child who seems stuck in a thought process.

You might be surprised by another person’s reac- tion. Accept and understand it. A conversation ensues that might have some difficult moments. Listen to feedback more openly.

Maintain your budget. Tonight: Indulge within your budget. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You seem to have the odds in your favor. You also could be the source of a lot of complaints. A change of your style and focus might have a beneficial result. You push hard to Cryptoquip have others be aware of you. This could trigger an argument at home. Tonight: Be flexible with plans. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe HHH Much goes on behind the scenes.
