When our family moved to Westfield in 1954, I remember the real estate agent saying to my parents that we need to purchase a home south of the Mass Pike since north of the Pike was for business. This is why they purchased a home on Granville Road and I have lived south of the Pike ever since. Years later this was emphasized again as regional economic boards pushed developers to build on the north side of Westfield; Call 572-3999 to leave your comment. that was the plan for Westfield since they had a Pike exit and plenty of land.

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris said in an Al DiLascia interview released Wednesday that if she wins the White House, her Justice Department “would have no choice” but to pursue an obstruction of justice case against Trump after he leaves office. Harris’ comments come after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told fellow Democrats that she would rather see Trump defeated in the election, then imprisoned, than impeached in House panel votes to hold Congress. That’s partly a way to quiet the push from multiple Democrats vying to replace Trump, who want their party to start the impeachment process.

In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along.

FiveBy Chris Putz times better Staff Writer WEST SPRINGFIELD – The four-time defend- ing Western Massachusetts Division 1 boys volley- ball champion Westfield Bombers now have one for the thumb. Top-seeded Westfield held off an early push from the tournament’s No. 2 seed Minnechaug, shoving aside the Falcons, 3-0, in the championship game Wednesday night at West Springfield High School to claim their fifth straight title. The Bombers won 29-27, 25-16, 25-18. “We just really preach being good in the moment and sprinkle in that ‘incredible’ at times,” said Westfield boys volleyball head coach Tyler Wingate. “We had a couple of those plays tonight, but most importantly maintained just a really high consistent level of play.” Westfield’s throne was under attack early with Minnechaug (17-5) making some tremendous blocks. James Pavlyuk (18 kills, 3 aces) bailed out the Bombers (20-3) with some timely kills, rallying his team from a 20-16 deficit in the first game. The Falcons battled off four set points before making an unforced error, finally falling 29-27. “Once we got past 20, the guys feel like every- thing is riding on that one point,” coach Wingate said. “We were preaching the next point mentality. The crowd was getting into it. It was a fun environ- ment. I feel fortunate that we got it done because we weren’t at our best there. That was big for us to withstand what they were throwing at us, and ulti- mately get it done in the end.” Minnechaug missed its opportunity because Westfield took off from there.

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

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, June 13, 2019: This year, you will open up to new things and sometimes to very different ideas and people. Needless to say, life will not be dull. If you’re single, do not jump to the conclu- sion that this is it. Take a year to decide. If you’re attached, the two of you add an in- tensity to your day-to-day interactions that DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker could sometimes wear you out. Decide on several romantic getaways. SCORPIO is too intense for you.

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 Focus your intensity on a financial matter from which you can gain. Some of you might choose to participate in work- shops or classes. Clearly, the more you know, the better your decisions will be. To- night: Say yes to an offer. SCARY GARY Mark Buford TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You might think or believe that you should run the show, but a partner or associate clearly does not agree. Instead of heading into a difficult tug of war for first place, let it go. Time will render the best judgment here. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You might want to dedicate time to socializing more, but a heavy schedule or an unusual request or demand prevents Crosswords you from being the social butterfly that you are. Tonight: Push hard to get everything off your to-do list. DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH When you hit a logjam, you become capable of a varied assortment of approaches. You could, for instance, just be teary eyed, or you could tap into your end- less imagination and find the best way to by- pass this hassle. Tonight: The call is yours. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You might not emerge from your co- coon or your comfort zone right now. Quite likely, you could be going over a personal issue and several different ways of proceed- ing. Do not be your only adviser! Test some ideas on one or two trusted confidants. To- night: Brainstorm away over some munch- B.C. Mastroianni and Hart ies. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You, of all signs, understand the meaning of timing and precision. You are capable of being obsessive with a particu- lar situation and then losing your innate gift of organization and timing. Tap into your self-discipline. Tonight: Catching up on a friend’s news. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You like to flow in an easy and light manner. When a situation gains an obses- sive quality or you feel consumed by a problem, you could experience an inward rebellion. By now, you know how to tame ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie the wild thing within. Do it and you will succeed. Tonight: Relax with a friend. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH When others might be torment- ed by a personal challenge or a difficult situ- ation, you feel as if you are in your element. Move through your plans with confidence and the knowledge that you are on the cor- rect path. Tonight: Make time for a special person in your life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Your sixth sense might not be obvi- ous to others, but you follow it intuitively. Perhaps you feel that you need to wash your hands of a situation or at least do nothing ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett around a problem -- for now. Follow a path and watch what occurs. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH You always keep your ultimate goal in mind, which today is very fortunate. Others appear to be distracted. You will be able to complete a project or interaction to your satisfaction, if not today then in the very near future. Tonight: All smiles. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH At times you feel burdened by every- thing that others ask of you. Consider say- Cryptoquip ing no more often. Recognize that if you say no, you could get a stunning reaction. Oth- ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe ers will get used to a new attitude. Tonight: No early bedtime for you! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH The fish swims in all sorts of wa- ters. If the current takes you into new, unex- plored areas, do not fight the trend. Learning more can only make your life more dy- namic. Tonight: Opt for something different once more.
