(Photo by Bill Deren) Bombers collar Terriers By Chris Putz Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Westfield High School boys ice hockey team cooked up something good at home Wednesday night – a 4-1 win over West Springfield at Amelia Park Ice Arena. Four different Westfield players scored one goal apiece – Aidan Fitzgerald, Scotty Bussell, Matt Bacon, and Liam Webster. Fitzgerald and Bussell each slipped a goal past West Springfield goalie Casey Bridges in the second period to give the Bombers a 2-1 lead, heading into the second inter- mission. Westfield tacked on two more goals early in the third period after Bacon and Webster each found the back of the net to take a commanding 4-1 lead. Both teams played a scoreless first quarter. Westfield will look to extend its good fortune when the Bombers return to action Saturday on “Senior Night” at Westfield goalie C.J. Czarnecki is all concentration as he looks the puck into his glove for a save against West Springfield Amelia Park at 5 p.m. Wednesday night at Amelia Park Ice Arena. (Photo by Chris Putz)

DADDY’S HOME Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein YOUR ontract ridge HOROSCOPE C B By Jaqueline Bigar

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Jan. 31, 2019: This year you can swing between a work- related mentality and a devil-may-care attitude. You will enjoy your life and each facet of it more completely. You will learn to balance different parts of your life. If single, you will meet people from various areas of your life. The person you could choose to be with might be a friend first. DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker That could prove to be an excellent foundation for a relationship. If attached, the two of you often can be found out and about together. Still, you prize your privacy as a couple. This anchors your bond. CAPRICORN always wants to know what is going on.

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

ARIES (March 20-April 19) HHH You might be more exacting and demanding than you realize. Your feelings need to be positively directed to keep you from feeling frustrated or angry. Understand that others care SCARY GARY Mark Buford about how you feel but might be limited in meet- ing your demands. Tonight: Take a strong role in making plans. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH One-on-one relating remains a strong suit of yours during the workday. You pre- fer that type of exchange, as it makes you feel more complete. Find out, if you can, what is bothering the other party. This person might not want to open up or might not feel secure enough to reveal what is going on. Do not make it a big deal. Tonight: Weigh the pros and cons of taking a Crosswords long-talked-about vacation. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Your sense of direction needs to suf- DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni fice for the moment. Getting feedback from a loved one or an associate might be difficult at the moment. Others seek you out, resulting in a need to screen calls. Postpone socializing. You have a lot to do. You need to clear out present work before you can relax. Tonight: Now, catch up with friends. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your emotional depth helps you identify with a loved one or partner. You might not agree with him or her. However, you do under- stand where this person is coming from. Keep the moment light, if possible. The other party could feel uncomfortable otherwise. Tonight: Say “yes” to a special offer. B.C. Mastroianni and Hart LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Allow your adventurous spirit to dominate. You enjoy relating to others. Be careful -- a flirtation could begin out of nothing, or the other party might misinterpret your attention. Be aware of how much your charisma draws others toward you and also fuels your fantasies. Tonight: Try to make it an early night. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You could feel as if you cannot move in one direction or another. Use this semi-stalemate to open up conversations and see where move- ment is possible. Feelings flow, and suddenly ideas pop up. The unexpected marks a new choice. Tonight: Tap into your imagination when making plans. ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Make an effort to have much-needed discussions. You might like agreements, but you need to accept your differences first. Talks help a negotiation. However, you find someone you are dealing with to be out of sorts or erratic. You will see eye to eye soon enough. Tonight: Head home early. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Stay in touch with your financial limitations when shopping. You could feel con- fused by a child or a loved one. Actually, this person works well when a haze surrounds an issue. Goodwill flows between you. You soon will be on the same page. Tonight: Hang out with ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett friends. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH No one can stop you when you decide to go for something. Confusion surrounds others who would like to interfere but cannot. Caring evolves, and with it, people feel less threat- ened. A family member or a matter around your home could shake up the status quo. Tonight: Make it your treat. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Use the morning to center yourself and rethink a decision. Your gentle manner comes through when dealing with others. It draws a posi- Cryptoquip tive response. You could bring others around to your way of thinking if you do not make a hard push. Tonight: Nap, then decide. ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Use the daylight hours to focus in on high priorities. A meeting will be successful if scheduled midday. Listen to different opinions. Your caring evolves the more you understand what worries others. Surprises surround you. Tonight: Let it be just for you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You take charge in work-related mat- ters. As a result, you finally see flow and acknowl- edgment. You express your appreciation for a job well done. Know that you did make a difference here. Finances go back and forth, figuratively speaking. Make a decision accordingly. Tonight: The more people around you, the more fun you will have.
