Trump construction so far has gone to replacing lawyers and witnesses from making any statements to the news media while entering and exiting the courthouse. She left open the possibility that she could amend the order in the future and reminded Stone that he is not allowed to contact any witnesses in the case. The 66-year-old Stone was arrested in an FBI raid at his Fort Lauderdale, Florida, home last month. He has pleaded not guilty to charges of lying to Congress, obstruction and witness tampering. The charges stem from conversations he had during the 2016 election about WikiLeaks, the anti-secrecy group that released material stolen from Democratic groups, including Hillary Clinton’s campaign. U.S. intelligence agencies have said that Russia was the source of the hacked material, and last year Mueller charged 12 Russian intelligence officers in the hacking. But Stone is not accused of directly coordinating with WikiLeaks. Stone has been outspoken since immediately after his arrest, declaring his innocence in a press conference following his court appearance in Florida and accusing Mueller of heavy- handed tactics by having him arrested in a pre-dawn raid of his home. He’s been more muted outside the courthouse in Washington, though he did hold a news conference — accompanied by a host from the conspiracy theory website InfoWars — in which he said he would respect any gag issued by the judge but also expected to appeal it. Among his lawyers is a noted First Amendment attorney who represented the rap group 2 Live Crew in an obscenity court about 30 years ago. He maintained he had no negative information about the president to share with Mueller and insisted he hadn’t done anything wrong. “I am not accused of Russian collusion, I am not accused of collaboration with WikiLeaks, I am not accused of conspiracy,” Stone said. “There is no evidence or accusation that I knew in advance about the source or content of the WikiLeaks material.”

All positions are elected for two-year terms and Friends members will be available prior to the start of the meeting to discuss the different roles more in-depth with interested indi- viduals. In addition to the election of board members for 2019-2020, the Friends group has a busy meeting agenda that includes discussion of its plans to participate in the city’s 350th anniver- sary festivities. “We are currently working on a yoga program on the Westfield River Esplanade, as well as a bike rodeo for children, and a ‘Trail Quest’ event for teams to solve puzzles and win prizes,” said Green. Also, Green said that new legislation clarifying bicycle laws will be discussed at the meeting.

If you aren’t taking advantage of Whip City Fiber today, we hope you’ll give us a look and join this community-based effort. Finally, we wanted to touch base on our involvement with the hilltowns. You may have heard that we are adding custom- ers in towns like Otis and Alford to the Whip City Fiber net- work. In fact, we are talking with another 18 towns in hopes they will join our network as well. But we want to be clear, these towns are paying their own way and footing the bill for the entire effort from engineering to construction. Again, we are leveraging the skillsets and support systems we have already developed to help these town Municipal Light Boards (often made up of volunteers) succeed in bringing the internet to their residents. We are not investing any Westfield revenues in these towns, only our expertise. These un-served or underserved towns in Western Massachusetts don’t have adequate internet access. At best, they have service at a safety complex, town hall, or school. They might have DSL at 2 Mbps; that’s 500 times slower than Whip City Fiber. Our team knew we could share our knowl- edge to help get their projects lit up. At the same time as we assist with the engineering and construction, we also offer to become the Internet Service Provider (ISP), the final step to serving their customers. Adding these regional partners and their customers to our network lets us each benefit from great- er economies of scale and provides additional revenue to the WCF bottom line. Ultimately, this benefits all the citizens of Westfield. Our goal is to continue making smart business decisions that will enable us to eventually offer Whip City Fiber to everyone This Aug. 23, 2006, file photo shows a Payless store front is seen in Philadelphia.

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

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Feb. 16, 2019: This year, you make waves wherever you go. You exude happiness and mental acumen. Avoid power plays and difficult people. They could try to take advantage of you. If you’re single, the same advice applies. You have many suitors from which to choose. If you’re attached and your sweetie DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker seems off, don’t react. Remain upbeat, and all ends well. CANCER reflects a kindness like yours.

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 Know your priorities; keep them in mind when making plans. Someone attempts to lure you to join him or her. You could be amazed at this person’s tactics. Your instincts guide you in dealing with a difficult elder. Tonight: If need be, adjust your plans. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) SCARY GARY Mark Buford HHHH Speak your mind, but don’t exagger- ate the situation. A friend appears with a special idea. You might want to readjust your plans. News could be misinterpreted. Try to resist a knee-jerk reaction. Tonight: At a favorite spot. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH If a situation hits you the wrong way, your more possessive side could take over. If you’re not careful in your financial dealings, push comes to shove. Know what you want and expect. Support yourself in receiving just that. Tonight: Crosswords Treat an older friend or relative to a fun night. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Mick and Mason Mastroianni HHHH Emotions surface. Communications DOGS of C-KENNEL seem active and perhaps overwhelming in some sense. Trust news that seems too good to be true; it is true. You might be very excited by what you hear. A loved one could be difficult. Tonight: Just don’t be alone. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You might be feeling as though you want some downtime. You also might appreciate some time with a loved one in a quiet setting. Whatever you choose, you will sense peace. An issue in your day-to-day life could become diffi- cult at the last minute. Tonight: If need be, adjust plans. B.C. Mastroianni and Hart VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Zero in on what you want. Join friends who might be out watching a game or going to the movies. You will relax. As a result, interactions with a loved one could become much easier. Ignore a tantrum. Tonight: You can be found where the action is. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH No matter what you do, tension seems to mount. You might feel as though a close loved one is prone to tantrums that cause trouble when- ever you’re not at the person’s beck and call. You could be disappointed with a roommate or a domestic matter. Tonight: A must appearance. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie HHHH If you’re feeling irritated, look at the big picture. A situation that you might not be com- fortable with could evolve, and you share those feelings. Be creative in looking for a mutually acceptable alternative. Tonight: Don’t worry about plans that change. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Despite how playful you can be, you express an innate caution at getting too involved in plans that could cost you. You may think that you know the price; however, you could experience a surprise. Confusion surrounds your home. Tonight: Keep your budget. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett HHHH Others dominate, and you might as well go along with what’s happening. If you decide to go your own way, then a problem, argu- ment or power struggle could ensue. Knowing that consequences could follow, you must decide how badly you want to do your own thing. Tonight: Speak your mind. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH A project that you want to or must complete might be on the back burner. Others try to persuade you to join them. Be direct; let them Cryptoquip know that you will as soon as you can. Late in the day, fatigue and frustration might become issues. Tonight: Honor your limits. ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Your creativity emerges when dealing with others. If someone you care about has a hassle, you could be in there clearing out the situation. Be around a friend who has a childlike quality. Don’t allow someone who’s stiff to ruin a good time. Tonight: Ever playful.
