Town: Plans still uncertain Continued from Page A1 During a town council meeting earlier this year, Westfield Town Manager Jerry Rosenberger discussed the town's long-range plans for annexation, said. Rosenberger mentioned that it was the town's idea to annex Village Farms eventually.

That led to a straw poll taken during the May primary, Seal said. Of those 25 percent of subdivision homeowners choosing to vote, approximately 93 percent said they did not want it to become part of Westfield. Some members of Westfield, Town Council confirmed they eventually plan to make- Village Farms part of the town. don't have a plan in place," said Council President Jack Hart. it would seem to be a natural progression." Councilor Rob Hartman agreed.

a minimum, I would call it a long-range plan," he said. Nobody can see an immediate increase in service for the extra property taxes, Seal said. Many homeowners wonder why they should pay for no increase in services. "I can't really see any immediate effects either." Hart said. But the long-term benefits would make it worthwhile, he said.

The committee will gather information on annexation and incorporation from many sources, then conduct a community meeting presently scheduled at 7:30 p.m., Oct. 22 at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel church, Seal said. No delays for McDougal SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) Susan McDougal's defense has been given enough time to prepare for the Whitewater figure's upcoming embezzlement trial, a judge said in denying a request for another delay.

After five years and multiple delays, opening statements in the trial are scheduled to begin Tuesday. Mrs. McDougal, 43, is charged with embezzling $150,000 from conductor Zubin Mehta and his wife. She is also charged with tax fraud involving her employment as a personal assistant to the Mehtas from 1989 to 1992. At Friday's hearing, Superior Court Judge Leslie Light offered a preview of what may become the prosecution's case.

Light allowed prosecutors to argue that Mrs. McDougal had become accustomed to a "high lifestyle," but did not have the money to maintain it and could not get credit on her own.
