He said all makes and models of cars, all years, are welcome. They generally get 60 to 75 cars a week. “There are some wonderful vehicles. The car show community is very tight-knit,” Marshall said, adding the season is 15 to 16 weeks long, and the community makes the most of it. While an enthusiast, Marshall himself doesn’t own a classic car, but “cars and music really go together,” he said. The show is weather-permitting. Marshall said some of the cars are worth $100,000, so owners don’t want to bring them out in the rain, and people won’t be able to look at them any- way. If this Tuesday’s show (Aug. 13) is cancelled due to the rain that is forecast, Marshall said he will be back the following Tuesday. Classic car owners at Hampton Ponds Plaza cruise.

The car show is free, but proceeds from a 50/50 raffle go to medical attention. “I took the love of cars and music and put them together, and non-profits serving veterans.

That was the plan,” Marshall said, add- ——— ing that a couple of sponsors, DeNardo Auto Sales, Carquest Amy Porter can be reached at Auto Parts and Genden Auto Parts, cover his expenses. [email protected]. “It’s great for the community, the Plaza and businesses. The Plaza is very much involved,” Marshall said. While Cruisin’ with Bruce Marshall at Hampton Ponds is the only show he personally owns, he also brings the music and participates in other car shows throughout the season. Marshall said it all started with the Florence Elks Lodge, 15 years ago, after he had just started the AM radio station. “Two gentlemen picked up the phone, and said they would like to do a fundraiser car show,” said Marshall. The Florence Elks car show is still held every Thursday night. “It went from that one show to shows every night of the week,” Marshall said. Now he’s the car show guy, with people coming up to him, telling him they want to start a car show. DJ Bruce Marshall of Valley’s Classic Hits 97.7 FM.

So folks, I’m sure you’ve noticed some slight changes in this newspaper and I’d like to tell you about some more coming up. Westfield needs and deserves a source for local news. If you think a moment about other news outlets that are in your life, can you honestly say they are covering Westfield, Southwick and the hill towns as well as they should be? I think you know the answer to that question. The importance of a ‘paper such as this one grows in signifi- cance because it is the last of the G. MICHAEL DOBBS actual sources of news for this population. All of us take the responsibility very seriously. We want the ‘paper to grow in readership and advertising support. What changes could you expect to see in the next few weeks? I’m glad I asked that question for you! First, the ‘paper is going to a standard size of 12 pages.

While membership was low when Hook launched the Tekoa Chapter of DeMolay in 2015, the chapter has seen steady growth over time and on the weekend of Aug. 4, Hook received the “2019 Advisor of the Year” award from Massachusetts DeMolay at Worcester State University during the organization’s annual Conclave celebration. “Conclave 2019 will go down as the year Tekoa Chapter of DeMolay made its mark again and has shown that we are here to stay,” said Hook, a former resident of Westfield who now resides in Chester. “I couldn’t be more proud of all my boys. Every one of them has grown so much right in front of my eyes … it truly is the greatest award you could ever receive.” Hook, who serves as chapter chairman for the advisor board, noted he was “very honored and humbled” when his name was announced as the award recipient. “The award is given to someone who in the past year has contributed to the growth and success of DeMolay, as well as one’s performance at the chapter, helping young men in daily life situations,” said Hook. Hook added that during the weekend gathering, Joseph Ruffo of Westfield was appointed state chaplain and Noah Trude of Feeding Hills received a $1,000 scholarship toward college tuition. While Hook received the award, he said Members of the Tekoa Chapter of DeMolay are seen with Melvyn Hook, center, along with Anthony Leroux, District Deputy Grand Master the backbone of the program includes the of the 29th Masonic District, during Massachusetts DeMolay’s Conclave 2019.

Hook, advisors and young men will also have information available when they sell ham- burgers, hot dogs and beverages at the Blandford Fair during the Labor Day weekend. Also, a membership drive is planned Oct. 19 during the Masonic Open House on Broad Street. Hook also encourages persons interested in the chapter to visit the Tekoa Chapter of DeMolay on Facebook or www.mademolay. net. “We welcome young men who are interested in DeMolay to stop by and meet our boys and advisors, and we also welcome adults who would like to volunteer their time as an advisor,” said Hook. Joseph Ruffo, 17, who is centering his stud- ies at Westfield Technical Academy on avia- tion, has been a member of the Tekoa chapter for more than three years. He wholeheartedly encourages young men to consider joining DeMolay. “I wasn’t involved in groups outside of school,” said Ruffo, the son of Barbara and Michael Ruffo of Westfield. “One aspect of DeMolay that stood out to me was learning public speaking skills. I was a shy kid but now it’s easy to talk in front of a crowd.” Ruffo added that DeMolay has also shown him that doors can be opened through network- ing and building connections that will last a lifetime. “Not only do we have a lot of fun at meetings and state competitions, we also learn about the importance of helping your community through charitable works,” said Ruffo, adding his future plans include joining the Shriners organization. “I know the importance of being a part of a Joseph Ruffo, son of Barbara and Michael Ruffo of Westfield, was appointed state chaplain for Massachusetts DeMolay during the orga- brotherhood that gives back and I look forward nization’s recent Conclave 2019 at Worcester State University.

When it comes to 21st century multimedia platforms, “hyper local” Hyper • Local is a term you hear a lot. It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newspapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore. But, day in and day out, The Westfield News provides consistant coverage of the stories you need to know about, that are important to your city, town, neighborhood and home.
