I am sure we are not the only people who are feeling left behind with the new tech world. On The Tube -- Hope to Hear One Day Dear Hope: It is understandable that your husband’s feeling disconnected from his children is causing sadness. But I am not so sure that it is technology’s fault so much as the fault of miscommunication. Technology is a blessing and a curse -- a blessing because it makes communication instant and easy, and a curse because it throws up a barrier to interactions that only come from being together in person. I would encourage you and your husband to plan a trip to visit his children face to face and talk to them. Tell them how much you enjoy talk- ing on the phone and hearing their voices. Communicating via text and social media is no way to maintain a relationship, especially an important and special one with wonderful par- ents. Dear Annie: I have a daughter who is a lovely person but has become very bossy and super opinionated. She has not always been this way. She is married, but she and my son-in- law have no children. My problem is that every time she comes home, she rear- ranges the items in my pantry and refrigerator and throws things away. She’s very critical. So far as I know, she doesn’t treat others this way. And my other children do not act this way with me. What do you think is motivating this, and what do you suggest I do? -- Miffed Mom Dear Miffed Mom: I’d be willing to wager that your daughter is checking for expired foods and getting rid of them out of concern for you. Even so, there’s no need for the criti- cism, and she really should ask your permission before throw- ing anything away. Talk to her about how this makes you feel. Acknowledge that you appreciate her desire to help but you don’t appreciate the way in which she conducts these pantry purges. Set some boundaries you can live with. In the end, it is your house, your rules. Your daughter should respect that. “Ask Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie” is In a Tuesday, Sept. 12, 2017 file photo, “60 Minutes” Executive Producer Jeff Fager poses for a photo at the “60 Minutes” out now!

commonweAlth of mAssAchUsetts dePARtment of PUBlic Utilities notice of AdJUdicAtion notice of PUBlic comment heARinG D.P.U. 18-21 NSTAR Electric Company d/b/a Eversource Energy Notice is hereby given that on April 17, 2018, NSTAR Electric Company d/b/a Eversource En- ergy (“Eversource” or “Com- pany”) filed with the Department of Public Utilities (“Department”): (1) a petition seeking approval to construct and use a new, ap- proximately 3.0-mile, 115 kilo- volt (“kV”) transmission line ( “New Line”) on existing struc- tures along an existing electric transmission right-of-way (“ROW”) from the Buck Pond Substation to a new, proposed switching station, the Atwater Switching Station, all in the City of Westfield, Massachusetts, and to install an approximately 0.4-mile loop line that would connect an existing 115 kV over- head transmission line with the new Atwater Switching Station (“Loop Line”) pursuant to G.L. c. 164, § 72; and (2) a petition re- questing individual and compre- hensive exemptions from the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Westfield to modify the existing Buck Pond Substation and con- struct the new Atwater Switch- ing Station, pursuant to G.L. c. 40A, § 3 (together, the “Peti- tions”). Collectively, the New Line, Loop Line, the proposed Atwater Switching Station, and the modifications of the Buck Pond Substation constitute the Westfield Reliability Project (“Project”). The Department will review the Project to determine whether it is necessary, serves the public convenience and is consistent with the public interest, pursu- ant to G.L. c. 164, § 72. The De- partment will also determine whether the zoning exemptions requested by Eversource are re- quired and whether the pro- posed use of the land is reason- ably necessary for the conveni- ence or welfare of the public, pursuant to G.L. c. 40A, § 3.

the department will conduct a public comment hearing to re- ceive public comment on the Project at 7:00 p.m. on monday, August 13, 2018, at south middle school Auditori- um, 30 west silver street, westfield, mA 01085. At the public comment hearing, Eversource will present an over- view of the Project. Public offi- cials and members of the public will have an opportunity to ask questions and make comments about the Project. The public comment hearing will be recor- ded by a court reporter. The public may also file written com- ments, which will be given equal consideration to oral comments made at the public comment hearing. To file written com- ments, please see the section titled “Comments, Intervention, and Participation” toward the end of this Notice.

description of the Project The Westfield Reliability Project is proposed to meet transmis- sion system needs in the west- ern Massachusetts area as iden- tified by the Independent Sys- tem Operator-New England through its regional planning process. The proposed 3.0-mile New Line would start at the new Atwater Switching Station loc- ated at 25 Oakdale Avenue in Westfield and proceed northerly following an existing ROW. The New Line would intersect Pro- spect Street, Montgomery Street, Furrow Street, Willis Street, the Massachusetts Turn- pike (I-90), Lockhouse Road, and Servistar Industrial Way, terminating at Buck Pond Sub- station located on Westfield Gas & Electric Company property at 83 Medeiros Way in Westfield.

One portion of the 0.4-mile Loop Line would start at Atwater Switching Station and proceed westerly along an existing ROW, approximately 1,400 feet, to a location along the ROW identi- fied as Oakdale Junction. This portion would not intersect any roads. The other portion of the Loop Line would start at Atwater Switching Station and proceed southerly along an existing ROW approximately 890 feet, cross- ing over Pochassic Street be- fore reaching a location identi- fied as Pochassic Junction.

The Project would require modi- fications at the Buck Pond Sub- station and the construction of the new Atwater Switching Sta- tion. Modifications at the Buck Pond Substation would include a new breaker, line terminal struc- ture, and three transmission line monopoles. The Atwater Switch- ing Station would be located on an 1.9-acre Company-owned parcel and would require con- struction of a three-breaker ring bus and associated gas-insu- lated circuit breakers, control house, two 78-foot-tall steel transmission line structures, ex- tension of a gravel access road from Oakdale Avenue, fencing, PAGE 14 - MONDAY, AUGUST 6,and 2018 looping of an existing trans- www.thewestfieldnews.com THE WESTFIELD NEWS mission line and the New Line.
