LETTER TO THE EDITOR

To the Editor: Removing City Council responsibility as Special Permit granting authority Recently, a 24-hour Truck Terminal project was “Withdrawn without Prejudice” by its’ sponsor, Old Dominion. Their rea- son for withdrawing was not publicized but I believe it was due to requirements proposed by the Westfield City Council’s Zoning, Planning & Development (ZPD) subcommittee. These requirements made City Council approval of the required special permit contingent on OD’s acceptance of restrictions such as a daily limit on the number of trucks using the terminal and prohibiting right turns toward Root Rd to prevent more truck traffic on North-end side streets. Ex-Sen. Al Franken takes first I believe ZPD was right to recommend these restrictions as they fulfilled the Council’s promise to protect Westfield’s North-end from additional truck traffic. Furthermore, in their application for the special permit, Old Dominion said their proposed usage was limited, so it should have conformed eas- steps back into public arena ily with these requirements.

No tsunami arrived and there were no immediate reports of deaths or serious injuries. The U.S. Geological Survey said the first and more powerful quake was centered about 7 miles (12 kilo- meters) north of Anchorage, Alaska’s largest city, with a population of about 300,000.

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

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Dec. 1, 2018: This year you often find yourself in the throes of one problem and stumbling right into the next. You somehow resolve each problem successfully and with ease. If you are single, you will meet someone through your circle of friends. Know that this bond is likely to develop slowly. If you are By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker attached, the two of you evolve to a new level of DUSTIN understanding. The two of you might opt to remodel or update your home. Make it an adven- ture. PISCES senses a new closeness between you and a loved one.

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) HHH What you feel and what you think don’t really coincide with what you are being told. You might want to express your opinion and see what happens. You might opt for a change to your image, as it likely could cause you to be more SCARY GARY Mark Buford confident. Tonight: Host a spontaneous party. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You might not have expected to glimpse nirvana this weekend. Whether you’re single or attached, it appears that Cupid is in your neighborhood. You are likely to be grazed by his arrow. Frolic the night away, and let the excite- ment perk you up. Tonight: Your imagination runs wild. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You might need to cozy up at home. Crosswords You’ve had a very hectic schedule as of late, and likely need some downtime. In fact, if you do not need to leave your home, don’t. Allow yourself to DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni read a favorite book or watch a favorite show all night long. Tonight: Choose a stress-buster. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You could be overwhelmed by calls, inquiries and all the potential plans that surround you. You will feel overloaded until you commit to a set plan. Be reasonable in making a request of a friend or neighbor. This person is likely to respond in kind. Tonight: Avoid feeding into gossip. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You have an undeniable charm that draws many people toward you. It seems like they feel as if you have something they don’t. You are simply more poised and willing to take more risks, B.C. Mastroianni and Hart or at least so it seems. Make a point to reach out to a loved one. Tonight: Let the fun begin. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You could have a difficult time deciding what to do, as others seem to be in the mood to join you in whatever you do. You might not want people around, as your plans could be quite personal. Learn to say “no” without hurting anyone’s feelings. Tonight: Accept an offer. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You might prefer to have a quiet day at home by yourself. You have paid a toll this week, as you seem to have been everywhere and pitched in when needed. Center yourself, and follow your dreams. Discuss a long-term goal with a friend. ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie Tonight: Be mysterious and unfindable. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HH Emphasize your friendships and your goals. You might be quite content to just kick back and relax at home, as you have been very busy trying to achieve a key goal. Smile and stay open to what others have to say. Ask questions, if need be. Tonight: Where you are, a party erupts. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You could feel pressured by what you think you should do, and might focus on that instead of pursuing what you really want to do. You will have plenty of energy and an opportunity to visit with someone who lives quite a distance Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett away. Tonight: Reach out to a close loved one. ANDY CAPP CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Be willing to read between the lines when dealing with a friend at a distance. This person looks at life much differently from how you do. As a result, both of you gain understanding from your conversations. Allow yourself to be more open-minded. Tonight: Opt for the unusual. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You might wonder what is going on with a close friend or associate. Your perspec- tive changes radically when you opt to have an Cryptoquip important talk. Staying in sync, or at least under- standing where the other person is coming from, is key. Tonight: Paint the town red. ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Defer to others, especially a key partner. You might not feel as if this person truly understands where you are coming from, but you’ll still want to let him or her to take the lead for now. You will be able to change direction soon enough. Tonight: Be open to a suggestion.
