Ha, ha, ha, the funniest joke I ever saw this morning. They were filling the holes on E Silver St. Yeah, they filled like, uhm, one out of five hundred and then they move on down the road. Uhm. Like. Filling the patch holes. And they didn’t even, uhm, they filled it with loose stuff; didn’t tamp it down or anything. I went to Southampton the other day and you should seen the wonderful job they were doing patching almost all the holes. They filled it, they must’ve filled it and then they had this thing where stones came out and it went over it and they tamped it all down. It was level with the road, and it was almost like driving over a road with no patches in it. I commend them. Uhm, they need some new people in Westfield to fix the roads, that’s for sure. Hi, yes, I called about the potholes just in the last post. Uhm, the potholes that they weren’t filling, it’s not like they were minuscule, some of them look like to be about three inches deep, so they just pick and choose what they wanted to do. We need a new director of public works to make sure things are getting done the right way.
How come they’re not using the tar machine to fill the potholes? Or doesn’t anyone know how to use it?
How is it when they’re patching the holes they do a half-assed job and they have to go back over ’em? Why don’t they take the time to clean out the holes, prepare ’em, put the patch in, and at least pack them down? I just passed the truck on W Silver St and they’re just throwing the cold patch down and not doing anything else. It makes zero sense to me. Just a concerned citizen who pays his taxes.
Hi, I just read the Westfield News Wednesday evening, the PulseLine, and this is to the genius who wrote in about the mayor and the signs. Enough already. Number one: the signs were missing one day prior to voting. Well, if I or anybody else needs a sign to tell me who to vote for then we shouldn’t be voting, should we? Number two: if everyone you talked to did not vote for our mayor, how in the world did he get elected? Well, I did vote for him and I am proud of it. The Knapik family has done nothing but good for our city and our state. And, last of all, regarding his not talking to the public after his hearing: did you ever think that he might have been advised not to say anything? I think that’s some good advice that we could all listen to. Have a good day.
Yes, uhm, last Saturday, the 22nd of February, I took a fall outside the nursing home over by Noble St, and I’d fallen on the ice and people just drove by as I tried to flag them down because I couldn’t get up. But a nice couple in a blue or light blue or grey van stopped and helped. Now they were elderly. The woman helped me get up, made sure I was able to call the police and get help. And I just—I don’t remember their name and I just wanted to thank them and let them know that if there was more people like them in the world—even better yet, in Westfield—it would be a much better town to live in. they’re just wonderful. And also, I would also like to thank the police officer who took his time to make sure that I got my groceries in my house before I went in the ambulance to go to the hospital. I want to thank the fire department, the police department and also that couple. Thank you very much, and my name is Barbara Coleman. Thank you.
As a parent of a Westfield High School student I can not express strongly enough how disappointed I am in Principal Carter. Two days ago I got a robo-call from him saying that report cards were incorrect and would not be issued until the next day. Then yesterday Principal Carter calls again to say the report cards are still incorrect and spent 5 minutes trying to blame the screw up on everyone else on planet Earth. I WOULD NOT ACCEPT THAT AS AN EXCUSE FROM A CHILD. COMING FROM A PRINCIPAL IT’S PATHETIC. Why is it my kid can get his homework done, but his Principal can not? Why!?!? I called the school for my kids grades, they sent me an email with login info for a website to access my kids grades…IT DOESN’T WORK! THE EMAIL WON’T OPEN! So you can’t print report cards??? A task I imagine any Kinko’s could’ve accomplished in 10 minutes. You can’t even take responsibility for your own failures?? Blaming other people for your own failures is weak Principal Carter, really weak! If you can not fulfill basic duties as Principal you should be replaced. Your inability to take responsibility shows you to be far more immature than the children in your keep. You sir are an embarrassment! Please contact the Superintendent of schools and make sure she is aware of your concerns.
