To the Editor First some corrections from my last editorial: Minutes from the ZPD Subcommittee should be dated Oct. 3, 2018. Plus, I did find some significant changes in the application – they increased the number of bays to 63 versus the original application for 40, which will increase truck trips by another 30 percent. There is also a claim in the section on truck traffic increases saying Westfield told the applicant there was no other development occurring to further impact traffic in Westfield. I find this odd considering the effort being made to bring The Westfield News in James Hardy Industries on Industrial Turnpike Way, another distribution company sending a lot trucks onto Westfield’s streets. It seems Westfield has a portfolio balancing problem. Westfield has designated itself as a “Logistics Center” catering to big trucks at the A publication of the Westfield News Group LLC expense of other types of businesses. But is it the best direction for Westfield and are city leaders doing what Westfield residents want? Flora Masciadrelli James Johnson-Corwin According to 2018 Westfield’s Open Space and Recreation Plan, Westfield resident’s top two priorities are 1) An Abundant & Safe Director of Sales/ Multi-Media Manager Drinking Water Supply and 2) Large, Protected, and Connected blocks of Open Space.

Tremblay Business Manager Director of Content Medeiros Way so its’ just as accessible, and we don’t have to destroy woods in Westfield to build it. More reasons for NO MORE TRUCKS: 1) trucking companies boom during good times but hit hard during recessions. What happens during the next recession when Chris Putz Lorie Perry Director of Ad Production these companies close up or fail? Wouldn’t it be better to pursue a variety of business to decrease our risk of being left with empty Sports Editor brownfields? 2) Trucks are wrecking Westfield’s roads and bridges costing millions. Since we won’t enforce truck routes on the state roads, Westfield ends up paying all road maintenance, which should be balanced against any property tax gains. 3) we must protect the Patrick R. Berry aquifer and preserve open space. The location of this new truck terminal is recklessly located between two wings of the aquifer – so it President appears “safe” to build there.

PAGE 6 - TUESDAY, JUNE 18, 2019 www.thewestfieldnews.com THE WESTFIELD NEWS HEALTHFITNESS What’s so bad about processed foods? Scientists offer clues By CANDICE CHOI Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — Chips, soda and frozen pizzas tend to be full of salt, sugar and fat, but now scientists are trying to understand if there’s something else about such processed foods that might be bad for us. Already, the spread of cheap, packaged foods has been linked to rising obesity rates around the world. Yet advice to limit processed foods can seem unhelpful, given how convenient they are and the growing array of products that fall into the category. While three recent studies offer more clues on how our increasingly industrial- ized food supply may be affecting our health, they also underscore how difficult nutrition science and advice can be. Here’s what they say.

WHAT DOES “PROCESSED” MEAN? Whether it’s curing, freezing, milling or pasteurization, nearly all foods undergo some type of processing. Even though pro- cessing itself doesn’t automatically make food unhealthy, “processed foods” is gen- erally a negative term. To more precisely identify the processed foods of most concern, scientists came up with a system that groups foods into four categories. It’s far from perfect, but the system says highly processed foods are This undated photo provided by the National Institutes of Health in June 2019 shows an “ultra-processed” lunch including brand name made mostly of industrialized ingredients macaroni and cheese, chicken tenders, canned green beans and diet lemonade.

I do think it’s important when we build schools to build playgrounds. I am supporting this expenditure out of School Choice funds,” said Cindy Sullivan.

We have a neighbor who HORSE RACING SOCCER (WOMEN’S) always says, “Don’t park in front of my house.” This guy and 8:30 a.m. 3 p.m. his family are not very polite, and they will run outside and start arguments and create scenes if you try to park there.

If I were of the SOCCER (MEN’S) CBSSN — Washington at Los Angeles eye-for-an-eye persuasion, I’d say that this next time he asks to borrow your snowblower, you should blow him a raspberry. 2:50 p.m. But I digress. You should check with your local DMV about the exact parking laws on your street, but the fact is that your neighbor most likely has no legal ground to stand on, unless your street has permit-only parking or motorists are disobeying other restrictions (such as parking for more than 72 consecutive On The Tube hours in the same spot, which is off-limits in many cities). And in my opinion, he doesn’t have moral ground to stand on, either. Public streets are just that: public. They’re for all of us. If he and his family verbally harass you or your guests for Corden’s ‘Late Late Show’ parking legally on public property, I’d encourage you to con- tact law enforcement and report the incident.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, June 18, 2019: This year, you often show a charming, ex- pressive personality. Others delight in be- ing around you. More and more, you will notice a determined and focused person lies within. You want what you want and plan to zero in on that goal. If single, you could eas- ily confuse a new sweetie with your multi- DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker faceted personality. You will want to choose someone who flows with you. If attached, the two of you are likely to have difficulty seeing eye to eye over finances and/or an- other critical issue. Understand where your significant other is coming from and respect his or her view. CAPRICORN can be too serious for your taste.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHYour productivity emerges, allow- Mark Buford ing you to flex more. However, manifesting SCARY GARY a long-term goal will take determination. Curb a tendency to be sarcastic when mak- ing an obvious observation. Someone might take your comment personally. Tonight: Use your sixth sense. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Your steadfast earthiness allows you to move in new directions. You might want to understand where another person comes from before you commit to a deci- sion that could impact both of you. He or she might not immediately be in the mood Crosswords to share. Tonight: Feed your mind. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni HHHH One-on-one relating could be quite successful if you so choose. You might not be in the mood to make a major change, but you are receptive about a discussion in- volving this change. You are trying on the idea for size. Tonight: Work on teamwork with a project and a friend. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You could be very serious, yet you find the other party you need to speak to has closed down. You might want to tease this person to get a response. Be aware that you might not get the results you desire. To- night: Be available. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) B.C. Mastroianni and Hart HHH You could be overly serious and not as flexible as you might like. Think before you make any firm or committed state- ments. You could be sarcastic with an as- sociate or friend. Try to lighten up. Tonight: Use your imagination. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Your creativity knows no limit.

Stay as authentic as possible. Tonight: With a fa- vorite person. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Your possessive side emerges when dealing with others. Even when you try to ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett stay calm, cool and collected, your fiery personality comes out. You cannot identify with one person specifically, and vice versa. Explain a self-imposed restriction if you want. Tonight: Go Dutch. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH You certainly make a good im- pression this morning. A conversation you have might be far more significant to the other party than to you. Make sure you do not commit to anything you cannot live up to. Tonight: Just ask. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Cryptoquip HHH You might want to lie back and do less. You could be quite tired and need some ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe time to yourself. You cannot keep a hectic pace all the time. You might note that your fuse is short. Try to take a walk and let go of stress. Tonight: Early to bed. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Zero in on your priorities and do not settle for less. You could be exhausted, hoping for another solution or offer. You might not like what someone offers because of what he or she demands in return. Say no if you want. Tonight: Where you can have fun. June 18, 2019
