Have you been wondering what they are building behind Rocky’s Ace Hardware on Main and Free Streets in Westfield, MA?
Well, it is the NEW Rocky’s Ace Hardware!

I have been seeing a lot of questions on Facebook and hearing people ask questions on the radio about their losses. One question that kept coming up was, “Is there anyway to recoup the expense of the ruined food that I had to throw away?”
Since I know I threw out several hundreds of dollars worth of food myself, I figured this question would be one that many could use an answer to. I decided to reach out to my friend and insurance agent, Mary Benjamin of Roger Butler Insurance, for the answers.
I asked Mary about the the food loss as well as other homeowners insurance questions that might apply after a catastrophic weather event like the Blizzard of October in Westfield, MA.

As power returns to the City of Westfield there are some important reminders that the residents of Westfield, MA need to know.
Westfield Gas and Electric reminds us: We want to reiterate an important message to those of you who have had damage to customer-owned equipment: if the service cable from the street to your home has been damaged or pulled away from your home, a licensed electrician must reattach or repair it before we can come in and connect the lines to your home. Please view this image to help determine where damage has been done. By contacting an electrician as soon as possible, you will help to expedite the restoration to your home.
So, if the power is on to your neighbors, but not your house, you need to contact an electrician to restore the power to your house.
Please be careful when choosing a contractor to repair or clean up your home and property. Unfortunately there are scam artists out there that are looking to take advantage of desperate homeowners in a time of need. This article from necn.com has some important reminders.
I hope that you are warm and safe as we round the bend on the aftermath from this bizarre blizzard. It is certainly one for the records when it is winter in the autumn and feels like spring before winter!
The strange blizzard that landed upon Western MA the weekend before Halloween created such a mess of downed trees and power lines that Westfield’s Mayor Daniel Knapik made the decision to postpone Trick or Treating until the roads were safer for the kids to travel.
Trick or Treating in Westfield, MA will be held on Monday November 7, 2011.
