Invision/AP) “In the past it was hard,” she said recently in an interview, having to shift her thinking to, “This is their space. This is what makes them come alive, I need to encourage that.” Gaines says this principle especially applies to her two oldest chil- dren, son Drake, 13, and daughter Ella, 11. “In the main spaces I get to do my thing and incorporate some things that they love but for their rooms, especially this year, there’s stuff they’re wanting in their room that I wouldn’t put in there originally, but now it’s fun to watch their room evolve into their personality and give them the freedom to do it.” She remembers that she, too, had her own flair growing up. “I was into cats. I had cat posters everywhere and my mom let me do it,” she said. She and her husband, Chip, are planning on a return to TV. The couple confirms they are in discussions with Discovery about creating a lifestyle-focused network. In the meantime, Gaines writes about how she makes a house a home in her new book, ”Homebody ” (Harper Design), sharing examples from her own farmhouse in Waco, Texas, and homes she’s worked on. She recently talked about design in an interview with The Associated Press. AP: When you see an empty room, what’s the first thing you think about when it comes to decorating? Gaines: I think, ‘OK, how are people going to be walking in and out? What’s the pass-through?’ I want the traffic. I kind of just try to figure out the footprint and then I start thinking about, ‘Where do you put the sofa? Where do you fit the chair or a coffee table?’ Then from there I start adding the bookshelves, stuff on the wall. But I think for me the seating is important because that’s where everyone is congregating. That’s the most important thing. AP: You also find interesting pieces that either show a person’s personality or a family heirloom. What if someone doesn’t have any of that but wants to add some interesting pieces to their home that aren’t so cookie cutter? Gaines: I think people need to know that it takes time. You can find things at flea markets, antique stores or even online. It becomes like a treasure hunt. AP: You seem to like neutrals and black and white.

Levesque requested a continuance from the Planning Board until the meeting of Dec. 4, after the plans are reviewed by the Conservation Commission. He also said he would send the plans to Flood Control. “I’m happy to see a building going in that parcel if everything is confirmed,” said Planning Board chairman William Carellas.

BombersBy Chris Putz freeze out Falcons Staff Writer WESTFIELD – It might have been one of the coldest Thanksgiving Day games ever on record, but the Westfield Bombers football team was sizzling. Westfield senior quarterback Mike Nihill scored three touchdowns, rushing for two and throwing for another as the Bombers froze out the Minnechaug Falcons, 27-8, Thursday at Westfield State University. It appeared both teams attempted to keep the chill out of their bones early by keeping their feet moving and their eyes focused on the endzone. Westfield (8-3) drove 60 yards on the game’s opening drive, scoring on a 9-yard touchdown run from Nihill with 6:45 remaining in the first quarter. “We wanted to run it down their throat the first drive and really just show that we can make a statement,” Nihill said. “We came out ready to fight. We came out with full energy and ready to hit. We didn’t want to show that we’re the weaker team. We wanted to show that we’re more dominant like earlier in the year.” Minnechaug issued an immediate response. The Falcons, after starting out with four straight short passes, moved the ball 64 yards in 10 plays. They scored with 2:06 left on the clock when Ryan Marquez came free across the back of the end zone to catch a pass from quarterback Anthony Izzo. The extra point was initially blocked, but a penalty negated the play. With a shorter 2-point try, Minnechaug scored on an Izzo run for an 8-7 lead. Westfield responded with a touchdown on the next play from the line of scrimmage. Bombers senior run- ning back Dakotah Moynihan took the handoff 48 yards

A short time later, Westfield exploded again on offense Thursday’s Thanksgiving Day game against Minnechaug at “That (TD) gave us a lot of motivation to keep going when Nihill hooked up with Trot Gosselin on a seam pass up Westfield State. strong,” Moynihan said. the middle that initially went 71 yards and on into the end zone, but a penalty was called down around the Minnechaug 20-yard line. It turned out to be a big call as the Falcons inter- cepted the next pass to stop the Bombers’ drive. Westfield’s perseverance paid off though. After stopping Minnechaug on the next possession, Westfield put together an 11-play, 64-yard scoring drive that culminated with a beautiful 18-yard touchdown pass from Nihill to Baley Collier with 40 seconds left in the half. Collier made a sensational catch near the sideline out around the 7-yard line, kept his balance by tight-roping the sideline, and tip-toed to the end zone. With a sour taste in their mouths, Minnechaug fought back literally – but it did not show on the scoreboard – as one Falcons’ player took a swipe at a Westfield player. A skirmish ensued in the end zone, and ejections were issued. Things appeared to calm down until later in the game when another Minnechaug player was ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct. “We knew that we ended their season (in the West D3 semi- finals) so we knew that they were going to be a little angry and they wanted revenge,” Nihill said, “ especially after last year when they only beat us by a point – we didn’t want that to happen again.” Early in the fourth quarter, Westfield forced a turnover deep in Minnechaug territory. The Bombers took advantage with Nihill twisting and turning his way to a 37-yard touchdown run. “I think we were a little irritated the way our season ended,” Westfield coach Rob Parent said. “These guys came here ready to play and fired up.” Said Nihill: “(This win) meant everything to me, especially on my senior day … playing with my brothers all these years and we went out on a good note.”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Nov. 23, 2018: This year you make waves when others least expect it. Aim for getting more of what you want. Be willing to discuss your goals, and you will take the first step toward making them a reality. You have what it takes. If you are single, you easily will meet someone who piques your interest. It is By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker worth being patient and waiting for the right per- DUSTIN son. If you are attached, the two of you open up to new possibilities. You and your sweetie some- times disagree about a long-term desire, but ulti- mately you will find a meeting point. PISCES can be very confrontational.

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You might feel strange when a per- son compliments you. Perhaps the comment seems unauthentic or inappropriate in some way. Let it go.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Friends will bound in and out of your door. You could find the pace to be rather hectic and chaotic. Your fatigue might become quite evident. A new beginning becomes possible because of the people around you. Tonight: Approach a work-related matter carefully. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Take a stand. A take-charge attitude Crosswords could backfire if you are not careful. A partner might need to speak with you in private. Don’t worry so much; everything will work out fine. An DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni associate is likely to give you an earful. Maintain a sense of humor. Tonight: Till the wee hours. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Don’t make demands at the present moment. Defer to a loved one. As a result, a new beginning becomes possible. You’ll accomplish a lot if you choose to concentrate on one item at a time. Schedule some time with a family member. Tonight: Consider a visit in the near future. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH A loved one might decide to pull the wool over your eyes. Be aware of being naive or too trusting, as it will make you an easy target. Brainstorm with a friend or family member to B.C. Mastroianni and Hart come up with great weekend plans. Tonight: You might not have a choice. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Others seek you out.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Stay close to home, even though this might not feel natural for you, as it will feel better than being out and about. Curb your spending as much as possible, and you will be a lot happier. When you are relaxed, you tend to be a great Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett source of ideas. Tonight: Order in. ANDY CAPP CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Clear communication will settle any potential differences of opinion. You might want to find out what is going on.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Friendship is always important to you, but be aware of a change of pace. A friend is likely to share a lot more than he or she has in a Cryptoquip long time.
