SOUTHWICK – State Rep.

announced this week she will not seek a
recount after losing her seat in the Nov.
2 general election, certifying Southwick
Selectman Nicholas A. Boldyga as state
representative-elect of the 3rd Hampden
District.
“I have a lot of confidence in the four

Opinion
editorial
Ask and ye shall receive. Sadly, the world doesn’t
work that way. That’s why Southwick officials are
asking residents to support the town’s applica-
tion for a 2011 federal Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) through the Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
At stake is $594,000 to expand the Senior Center
on the lower level of Town Hall. At 1,900 square
feet, the proposed expansion would double the size
of the existing space.
The town was awarded CDBG grant monies
to fund the design work for the project, which
includes provisions for a second floor somewhere
down the line, but was denied construction monies
because there was “not enough evidence of need.”
We beg to differ.
Statistically speaking, the first wave of baby
boomers is slated to turn 65 next year, and College
Highway is already home to two 55+ active adult
communities, meaning Southwick’s senior citizen
population is on the rise.
But the real proof can be found at the Senior
Center, where passionate septuagenarians told a
representative from the Pioneer Valley Planning
Commission (PVPC) this week they have earned a
comfortable place to call their own.
Residents are encouraged to attend a public
hearing on the CDBG application slated for next
Monday, Nov. 15, at 7:10 p.m. during the Board of
Selectmen’s regularly scheduled meeting. Residents
who are unable to attend the hearing may send
