Hello Westfield, especially those in Ward 3…IMPORTANT, with Rep. Velis back, I am going to collect signature on a petition to let him know I am not alone in wanting our POW’s to have a Day of Remembrance; as such I will be collecting signatures at the Post Office on Sunday and Monday.  Please stop by and let our Representatives know we care about those who were POW’s in Americas Wars to Preserve OUR nation.  And, if you can help e-mail at the E-address at the bottom.  THANK YOU!

Next, I want to congratulate the athletes and those award winning students at WTA and at Westfield High…for your outstanding achievements.  I especially take pride in WTA, as I do my volunteer work there and they are in Ward 3, as well, because our technical schools used to not get such positive attention.  Recently I was the bank and stand next to me was this young man who mentioned that he was at school learning to repair planes.  I had to ask, at WTA, and with great pride he said YES.  We chatted and he really had it together.  Now we have Highland School, having a tech program, along with a student government…watch out world, imagine how prepared for life when these students hit high school?  The work that our school depart. Has been doing, along with the support of the School Committee, is fantastic.  Take a bow, and congrats to all involved.

Ok, we often hear criticism of the media, and while I value their work, coming up with calling thieves, Porch Pirates is a terrible idea.  Why give thief thinking status???  If there is anyone in touch with media, please ask them to stop, or contact NBC, and Western Ma. News, to send it up the line to stop this.  If you ever worked with offenders you know how their imaginations work.  It is like scar face, an identity, without giving a real name.  Your former Ward 3 City Councilor, Brian Hoose …[email protected].
