I attended Dr. Brown’s lecture on 1950s downtown Westfield. It was TERRIFIC. Our City Leaders should have been there. They could have learned a lot.
Can we finally get Representative John Velis off veterans’ issues for a minute and onto more important and pressing subjects like feeding the poor and disabled more adequately than the State of Massachusetts presently is?
I would like to commend this paper, the Westfield news, for their reporting of the high school debacle. While other news reporters jumped on the incorrect information circulating on social media, Hope Tremblay from the Westfield news did a remarkable job sifting through the nonsense to get the true story. Her latest interview with the superintendent was perfect. The whole situation at the high school was a personnel matter that was no business of any student, teacher or parent. Well done Westfield news. Thank you. Thank you very much. Our reporting method is to get all the facts and let the readers decide. We appreciate your support!
While I enjoy Facebook to keep in touch with friends and family who are now all over the country, I am always dismayed at the rush to judgment of individuals based on incorrect information seen online. The principal Duquette issue this week was just one example of rumors fueled by misinformation. I implore everyone to check your facts before posting something. Fortunately, in the big scheme of things, this was a minor issue. I am unnerved by the thought of someone incorrectly claiming another did a heinous crime and destroying that life wrongly.
