LETTER TO THE EDITOR Allie urges attendance at tax hearing To the Editor, Sorry for the late notice. The Westfield City Council will hold a public hearing to set tax levy and percentages on residen- tial and commercial property in Council Chambers on Tuesday, November 19th at 5 PM. This is not convenient for working people to attend. Your Voice Matters. Please make every effort to attend or contact the Council. Written information may be sent to the City Clerk, but if mailed must be received by at City Clerk’s Office by 5PM the day of the hearing. You may also email written information to [email protected] by the deadline. While exact numbers are being finalized, it appears property tax will increase 2.4%, or about 1.8 million dollars, which is an increase of $100 for the average homeowner. The Mayor had asked city departments to level fund their budgets, but the budget presented in June increased spending by 3.7 million dollars. Revenue from new growth was only 1.2 million dollars. You do the math. The budget failed to address the need to fix roads or the City’s growing OPEB obligations. A few years of increases of this magnitude and the City will hit the levy Ceiling, a point at which the City will not be able to raise taxes, except by over- ride, and then only for specific items such as a new school. As it is, many working families, seniors on fixed incomes and small business owners cannot afford higher taxes. For this reason, some city councilors voted no on the budget, or to reduce increases in spending in June with 12 members of the City Council remaining in session until 3 AM taking nearly 300 votes trying to reduce the increase by 2.2 million dollars. Councilor Bean was away on vacation, so many motions to reduce increases failed in a 6 – 6 tie, and the Council was only able to reduce the budget by $445,000.

DADDY’S HOME Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein YOUR Contract Bridge HOROSCOPE By Jaqueline Bigar

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Nov. 16, 2019: This year, you become more willing to try out different ideas. You will travel or be exposed to different cultures. If single, you might meet someone very different. You could be enchanted by this person. Make no fast commitments. If attached, the two of you might finally plan for DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker that special trip you often have discussed. Do not allow an obstacle to stop you. CANCER seems to understand you better than even you do!

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)  You are coming from a space where you are flexible and might be up for a wild scheme or idea. In the long run, if you head down this trail, you might want to reverse SCARY GARY Mark Buford tracks. Tonight: Maintain a sense of humor. TAURUS (April 20-May 20)  Great ideas seem to hatch when- ever you are around a friend who can seem impractical. Though you might at first indulge this person, listening and playing with one of his or her concepts, you see a workable application for an idea and like it. Tonight: Out and about. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)  Be aware of the costs of proceeding Crosswords as you have been. To some people, you are magical in how you run with an idea and create success. Be careful with how involved you become with one of your more expensive proj- DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni ects. Tonight: Make it your treat. CANCER (June 21-July 22)  You are personality-plus and could let the cat out of the bag. Pick and choose your company and activities. A daytrip could be appealing, especially with the right company. Tonight: Just be yourself. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)  Do not feel the need to vanish; sim- ply take a low-key role. You have a lot on your mind that you could choose not to discuss. If you feel uncomfortable or tired, pull back and go for the classic midday nap. Tonight: Know B.C. Mastroianni and Hart when to call it a night. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)  Stay on top of a project that involves a friend. You will enjoy getting feed- back and making whatever you are doing rewarding and fun. For some, it might be paint- ing a room. For others, it could be bringing everyone together for dinner. Tonight: Where your friends are. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)  Others look to you to take the lead, whether at work, at a social happening or when planning an event. Wherever you are, crowds can be found too. You know what you ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie want from a situation and are likely to achieve just that. Tonight: Leader of the gang. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)  Keep reaching out for someone you usually do not have time to visit with. Catching up on news, swapping some jokes and enjoying the moment marks your day. Plan a get-together soon. Tonight: Be entertained. Go to the movies or a concert. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)  One-on-one relating helps draw an interesting plan. You and a dear friend decide to take off for an adventure designed just for you. You will relax and renew your spirit. ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett Tonight: Feel free to stay out late. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)  Defer to a loved one or dear friend. Together you seem like little kids, enjoy- ing yourselves to no end. You might enjoy a brisk walk, perhaps around a lake or creek, at some point in the day. Tonight: Do not push someone too hard to get your way. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)  Pace yourself because you want to get a lot done. Feedback seems more than avail- able if you are open. A friend who can be a bit Cryptoquip grumpy could share some insightful feedback. Remain open. Tonight: Make it easy. ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)  Your creativity emerges when dealing with a child or a new friend. Go with his or her suggestion and let out the child within. The two of you have more fun being silly together. Tonight: A friend could be demanding at the last minute.
