Dear Friends, We are all unfortunately too well aware of the incident last Friday in Newtown, Connecticut. There are no words to describe the pain we all feel for the Newtown community, and the loss of innocent children and the adults who died while protecting them. A loss of this magnitude, undertaken in such a manner, is unspeakable. And while our thoughts and prayers go out to that community, it is also understandably human nature to think of our own vulnerabilities in circumstances such as this. As caring human beings, we want to protect our children and educators at all times and in all of our schools. It is for that reason that we wanted to reach out to all members of our community to remind and reassure everyone that the Westfield …

The following message from Mayor Andy Skibitsky appears on the Town of Westfield's website: First, I want to take this opportunity to again commend my fellow residents for their resilience and compassion during and after Hurricane Sandy, now known as Superstorm Sandy because of its distinction as hybrid storm, a combination Nor’easter and hurricane. I have heard story after story of neighbors helping neighbors, one good deed after another. Such compassion is what binds us together as a community. Second, it is important for residents to know that in the aftermath of the storm, the police department worked very hard to keep our town safe and secure; and, as a result, unlike other towns, Westfield did not experience any increase in …

Dear Neighbor: I along with Assemblyman Bramnick and the Council representatives from the affected wards visited the neighborhoods this past weekend that had yet to have their power restored to let them know that they were not forgotten. PSE&G and the utility companies they partnered with made a huge push over the weekend to restore individual circuits and house connections to finally get the remaining outages in Town resolved. To make sure that they have addressed all the outages, PSE&G “robocalled” all of their customers with instructions on what to do if anyone was still without power. If anyone reading this message knows of anyone still without power, please pass along the following message from PSE&G to them: “While restoration …
