Superintendent Stefan Czaporowski presented to the School Committee on Sept. 8 tentative dates for the hybrid model phases to have differ-ent groups of students return for in-person learn-ing .

“Clearly, what we didn’t do at the last meeting is set dates, and I’ve been asked that question more than any other,” Czaporowski said. He said he ran the dates by Public Health Director Joseph Rouse, who was also present at the meet-ing on teleconference. “Our (COVID) numbers right now are incredibly low, they’ve been low for some time,” he added.

Czaporowski said that the dates for phasing in more students for in-person learning are roughly every two weeks, and follow a School Committee meeting week. As it stands now, all but tech shop students at Westfield Technical Academy

will start remotely on the first day of school, Sept. 14.

Phase IASept. 14 start date. Grades 1-12 start remote

learningTech students start shops in person (Week A

– freshmen and seniors, Week B – sophomores and juniors)

Phase IBSept. 21 remote learning start date for pre-

school and kindergarten.Sept. 28 in person start date.Special Education – Autism Spectrum

Disorder, Essential Life Skills, Developmental Learning Program, Transition Program (sub-separate programs) and Preschool will return to school (in person) every day.

Phase 2Oct. 13 in -erson start dateSpecial Education – RISE, LLD, Quest,

Homeless/McKinney Vento, and English

Language Learners will return every day.Grades Kindergarten, 1, 5, 7, 9 will return to

school (in person) every other week (A & B Week)

Phase 3Oct. 26 start dateAll students in grades 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12

will return to school (in person) every other week (A & B Week)

Phase 4Implemented when a vaccine is developed.All students return to in-person learningCommittee member Cindy Sullivan clarified

that for WTA, the students will not return for academics until Phase 4 except for students in Essential Life Skills, who will begin in person on Sept. 28.

“If we were able to go forward with the changes, we could always pull back,” said mem-ber Diane Mayhew.

“We could, and families could always adjust

their choice,” Czaporowski said, although he said one of the reasons that the class schedules are late is due to the late notice from families on what they are going to do.

Communities to remember 9/11

By HOPE E. TREMBLAYEditorWESTFIELD/SOUTHWICK – The 19th anniversary of the Sept.

11, 2001 attacks will be remembered this Friday, with social dis-tancing in place in Westfield and Southwick.

Even a global pandemic cannot keep citizens from recalling that tragic time and honoring Westfield’s three 9/11 victims – Brian Murphy, Tara Shea Creamer and Daniel Trant.

Two observations will be hosted in Westfield Friday, and one in Southwick.

In Southwick, the ceremony will begin at 9:50 a.m. at Whalley Park.

Southwick Fire Chief Russ Anderson and Police Chief Kevin Bishop will speak, with prayers offered by Fire Chaplain Pastor Dan Valeri. Deputy Fire Chief Richard Stefanowicz will preside over the Calling of Orders.

At 9:45 a.m. a remembrance to honor fallen firefighters will be at Westfield Fire Headquarters on South Broad Street.

At 11 a.m., Mayor Donald F. Humason Jr. will be joined by families of the Westfield natives who fell victim to the attacks with a wreath laying at the 9/11 Monument, located at the head of North Elm Street, across from the Westwood Building at 94 North Elm St.

Westfield Fire Chief Patrick Egloff said participants and specta-tors are required to wear masks and during the ceremony at Fire

By HOPE E. TREMBLAYEditorSOUTHWICK – Student ath-

letes Sept. 8 protested a decision of the Southwick-Tolland-Granville Regional School Committee that postpones fall sports at Southwick Regional School.

At least 60 students gathered in the parking lot near Powder Mill School. They wore masks, held signs and chanted “We need sports” and “Re-vote” as they circled the outside of Superintendent Jennifer Willard’s office and walked along Powder Mill Road where cars beeped and motorists cheered.

The committee Sept. 2 approved Willard’s plan to follow MIAA recommendations that schools could choose to postpone fall sports until February, creating a “Fall II” season.

The problem with that, said

students and coaches Tuesday, is that sports such as golf and soccer cannot be played in the snow. And, they said, nearly every school in surrounding communi-ties are playing fall sports.

“We’re going to have no one to play in a Fall II season,” said Southwick Regional School soc-cer co-captain Brennen Vinesett. “It’s not fair to us to be the only school to have sports taken away, especially when Southwick has been one of the best towns as far as having low COVID cases.”

Fellow co-captain John Cammisa said for him and his teammates, playing soccer togeth-er means “everything.”

“As a senior, I have been play-ing with the team for four years, and playing with the same group of kids since I was 6-years-old,” Cammisa said.

Modifications made to fall high school sportsWestfield athletic director says ‘the game is still the game’

By AMY PORTERStaff WriterWESTFIELD – Westfield Athletic

Supervisor Ryan Dunphy gave an update to the School Committee on Sept. 8 regarding Mass. Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) modifi-cations to the sport season.

Dunphy said the general guidelines are the same for all sports, and there will be a designated person to answer COVID-19 questions or concerns. He said the second part of the modifica-tions released on Aug. 28 are more sports specific, regarding specific rules and post game behavior, such as hand-shakes.

Dunphy said an informational packet will go out to all families by the start of the season. Registration is open; all coaches have been hired for the fall, and he is having individual meetings with the coaches. “We are getting well versed with rules and modifications and going into online COVID train-ing,” he said.

Practices are scheduled to start Sept. 18. Game schedules are still undeter-mined, as Westfield is waiting for other

— Free animal dance parties are being offered by Girl Scouts of Central & Western Massachusetts to introduce girls in kindergarten through fourth grade to the world of Girl Scouts.

While girls enjoy the party, parents and caregivers will be invited to learn how Girl Scouts can “supercharge a girl’s life,” according to Dana Carnegie, communications manager, Girl Scouts of Central & Western Massachusetts.

“Being a Girl Scout is a journey into a lifelong sister-hood that helps show a girl her own best qualities, and how to use them, even in the most challenging times,” said Carnegie.

Carnegie noted that parents or caregivers can choose an in-person date at one of the Girl Scout camps or the Girl Scout Leadership Center in Holyoke, as well as a virtual version of the program.

“In-person events will fol-low all COVID-19 safety pro-tocols including face cover-ings and social distancing,” said Carnegie.

Virtual animal dance par-ties will be conducted from 6 – 7 p.m. on Sept. 22, Oct. 1, 7, 13, 20 and 27. In-person ani-mal dance parties are planned at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. at Camp Bonnie Brae in Otis on Sept. 26, Oct. 10 and Oct. 24; Camp Lewis Perkins in South Hadley at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Oct. 10, or at the Holyoke Leadership Center at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Sept. 26 and Oct. 24.

“Girls will have the oppor-tunity to learn how animals move their bodies,” said Carnegie, noting all parties are staff-led. “We’ll put some music on and ask girls how they’ll move differently now that they’re a bug. Then we might pretend we are a bird that can fly or a giant elephant with a swinging trunk, or even a household pet.”

Carnegie added that girls will make a mask by choosing

Girl Scouts to host fun ‘parties’ for girls, parents

their favorite animal includ-ing a monkey, lion, or ele-phant, and will color a tem-plate. The virtual participants will be mailed or emailed a mask template to print.

“She can start her experi-ence with a dance party and continue her adventure with a troop where she’ll get hands-on, girl-led, girl-centered

learning and fun,” said Carnegie, adding, “Eventually she’ll learn she can make a difference in her community, and she’ll grow confidence in big ways.”

For more information on the program and to register, call (413) 584-2602 or visit www.gscwm.org.

“While she’s engaging in

activities like earning badg-es, selling cookies, exploring the outdoors, and program-ming robots, she’s discover-ing new ways to make herself and her community better, stronger and kinder,” said Carnegie.

The organization serves more than 7,000 girls in kin-dergarten through grade 12 across the region with 3,800 adult members in 186 towns and cities.

“Girl Scouts’ mission is to build girls of courage, confi-dence and character who make the world a better place,” added Carnegie.

and a half, and 60 people changed their options today (Tuesday), which wreaks havoc on transportation. Every change that comes in throws us off. I know we have to work within that, but it is very challenging for us,” Czaporowski said, add-ing that class schedules will be out by the end of the week. “We know there are going to be errors, and changes will come in after that.”

Committee member Ramon Diaz asked Rouse how he feels about this phased-in approach.

“It’s a good viable plan right now, as far as I’m concerned, with the phasing in. Smaller numbers to begin with are per-fectly acceptable. Right now is that pivotal time, and we can’t rely on anything until we get through the next two to three weeks. The numbers are extremely low right now,” Rouse said.

Rouse said people are com-ing back from vacations now, and some other schools, includ-ing St. Mary’s have opened. “We’ll see how other schools are doing once they have opened. It doesn’t worry me as much now as it did a month ago. Let’s hope that everything sticks as it is now,” he said, add-ing that the fact that school is starting with remote learning, as is Westfield State University, means the community is in a good spot to maintain.

Diaz said he didn’t think the School Committee should approve the dates of all the phased-in learning until they get closer. “I’m anxious to hear from Joe at every step,” Diaz said.

Rouse said the Board of Health is not just looking at Westfield, but meets twice a week to look at metrics for the whole region and state, and sur-rounding states as well. He said he would definitely update the School Committee every meet-ing.

Czaporowski said the district will remain flexible based on the information they receive at each School Committee meet-ing. “My concern is that parents and principals and (Transportation Director Pamela Kotarski) need the information,” he said.

Committee member Bo Sullivan asked why not bring back all of the special education

groups together, and the kinder-garteners along with the pre-school.

Czaporowski said the first groups of special education stu-dents returning are in subset programs that don’t rely on peer learning. The second groups are part of the inclusion model, and go into regular education class-rooms.

“In terms of kindergarten, as much as we wanted to bring the kindergarten in every day, we can’t meet the space require-ment,” he added.

Vice chair Timothy O’Connor said it was his understanding that WSU students are planning to come back on campus at the end of September and asked Rouse if he had any concern on having that population in that setting,

“As far as the university goes, they’re on the same page start-ing with remote,” Rouse said, adding that students are being closely monitored on campus, with testing, checkpoints and criteria. “The campus doesn’t concern me as much as being ingrained in the community; the students that are here. They are still here off campus doing busi-ness in Westfield. We’re keep-ing an eye on that, too – keeping them accountable,” he added.

O’Connor also asked if the schools were waiting on any-thing they needed in terms of supplies and preparedness for opening up.

Safety officer Chrisropher Rogers said the schools are in very good shape as far as per-sonal protective equipment, except for a few things that have not arrived,”nothing that would stop us from getting going,” he said.

The only big ticket items they are still waiting for are plexi-glass dividers for teacher tables, counselors, and service provid-ers, and large size disposable gloves, which are all ordered.

Cindy Sullivan asked if any of the positive cases have been from open day care programs, or the other operating youth programs such as the Boys & Girls Club, Babe Ruth or the soccer leagues.

Rouse said there are currently two active cases in isolation, and they have two additional cases from the Labor Day weekend, all older adults.

Sullivan commented that

Learning PhasesContinued from Page 1

Rouse’s initial recommendation was to wait until the end of 2020 for in person learning. “When we approved the hybrid model, we were really clear that we were going to not wait until the end of 2020,” she said, adding that she was in favor of announc-ing the dates for the phases so people can plan, knowing that at the School Committee meetings they “could put the brakes on,” if needed.

Czaporowski said if more cases develop, the school could hold off on the phases for a cou-ple of weeks. “These are subject to change,” he said.

Congressional District behind him, Secretary of State William Galvin called the state's first foray into widespread mail-in voting a "great success," but said he will need additional fund-ing to ensure that the November election goes off smoothly.

Applications for mail-in ballots will begin to go out to reg-istered voters by the end of the week, Galvin said. And the state's chief elections officer anticipates an online portal required by the Legislature for voters to request early and absentee ballots to be operational by the end of the month.

But some things will need to change before November, when turnout and the volume of mail-in ballots is expected to be even higher than it was for the primaries.

Galvin told the News Service Tuesday he has already spo-ken to the Baker administration about his need for additional funding to cover the cost of mailing applications and ballots to registered voters interested in voting by mail in the general election.

Asked how much would be required, Galvin said, "More than a million."

"I'm optimistic that they'll be cooperative," he said of the administration.

Galvin said he wished he had even more money to help local election clerks hire staff to run the polls and process bal-lots, and said he was discouraged by reports that Senate Republicans in Congress had rolled out a pared back stimulus bill Tuesday that did not contain funding for election opera-tions.

Local officials may need help, Galvin said, and "it would be great if I had the resources to help them pay for personnel and staff, but I don't."

Galvin discussed his preparations for the November elec-tion days after concluding the late counting of thousands of mail-in ballots in Newton, Wellesley and Franklin, three of the communities where there was a tightly contested primary for Congress eventually won by Newton City Councilor Jake Auchincloss.

Local officials in those towns, especially Franklin, had dif-ficulty getting all their ballots delivered on election night to precincts for counting, especially those that arrived late on election day by mail.

Galvin said he would not be seeking any legislative changes to the vote-by-mail process, but would be making some pro-cedural adjustments and talking with local clerks about best practices and lessons learned from the primary.

"Even if I had a wish list, it would be impractical. There's not enough time," Galvin said about seeking legislative rem-edies. "The changes we're thinking about are more procedural and will be accomplished administratively, some uniformity in terms of counting practices. Fortunately November we will have three additional days to receive and count ballots."

Unlike in the primary when mail-in or early ballots had to be received by 8 p.m. on election night to count, the new law allows for ballots to arrive up until 5 p.m. on the Friday after the election, or Nov. 6, as long as they were postmarked by election day. A town or city's books will also remain open for 10 days for military and overseas ballots to arrive.

"We also don't have the pressure to prepare another ballot," Galvin said.

Newton City Clerk David Olson told the News Service last week that more than 3,100 ballots arrived on election day, including the 751 ballots that arrived after 5 p.m. and weren't counted until Thursday after Galvin secured a court order to keep counting.

"I think it went really well," Olson said of mail-in voting overall. "It just would have been really nice to have that extra day."

Close to 1.6 million people voted in the state primaries on Tuesday, according to preliminary numbers, which would be a record for raw votes cast, and Galvin credited not just voting by mail, but also the work local officials did to make in-person voting a safe experience.

"I think it's also pretty clear we had a successful in person, as well," he said.

But Galvin wasn't quite ready Tuesday to say mail-in voting should be here to stay.

"We'll have to discuss where it stands in November. I think we can say it was a positive experience," he said. "We have to look at the numbers, but I think we brought a lot more inde-pendent voters into the primary process."

No COVID-19 deaths in Boston over past weekBy KATIE LANNANState House News ServiceBOSTON - Boston has gone a week without a COVID-19

death, marking what Mayor Martin Walsh described on Tuesday as a "very encouraging" span.

Walsh said 25 new cases of the coronavirus logged Tuesday brought the city's cumulative caseload to 15,967 since the onset of the pandemic, and its death toll has held steady at 754 since last week.

Statewide, there have been 121,214 total test-confirmed cases and 9,141 deaths among people with confirmed or prob-able COVID-19 cases, according to the Department of Public Health.

In an afternoon press conference outside City Hall, Walsh discussed Boston's COVID-19 metrics and the dozen shoot-ings that city police responded to over the holiday weekend.

After "a couple of weeks of decline," the city's positive test rate stands at 1.7 percent, Walsh said. East Boston continues to have the highest positive rate of any neighborhood in the capi-tal city, at 8.7 percent as of Sept. 1. That number is down from 11.4 percent three weeks ago.

"That's a good way to see the numbers go," Walsh said. "We want to continue that downward trajectory, if you will, over in East Boston, with testing."

Walsh said city officials launched an "elevated outreach plan" three weeks ago, targeting East Boston with efforts like the distribution of kits with cleaning supplies and virus infor-mation, partnerships with churches, and messaging for people in multi-generational households about strategies they can use to limit transmission.

12 Shootings in 3 DaysSeparately, Walsh and Police Commissioner Willie Gross

said Boston city departments and other agencies convened ahead of the Labor Day holiday to plan violence prevention and response efforts. Walsh said some sort of violence "is not unusual for Labor Day weekend" -- though he said any act of violence, at any time, is unacceptable -- and Gross character-ized the weekend as a long one, with 12 unrelated shootings in the city.

"At this time, our investigations reveal that none of the twelve shootings are connected," Gross said.

By CHRIS LISINSKIState House News ServiceBOSTON - With state and local gov-

ernments around the country anxiously awaiting clarity on whether they will receive federal funds to help close bud-get gaps, the latest proposal in Washington appears dead on arrival.

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced Tuesday that his chamber would vote this week on a scaled-back round of stimulus funding backed by Republicans. Hours later, Democratic leaders -- who have pushed a larger bill that has not gained traction with Republicans -- described McConnell's proposal as "headed nowhere."

The reportedly $500 billion bill is roughly half the size of what Republicans proposed in July and less than one-sixth the value of the $3 trillion-plus HEROES Act, which cleared the U.S. House in May.

In remarks on the floor Tuesday, McConnell said the latest legislation would focus on "issues where bipartisan-ship should be especially possible," such as extending some additional federal unemployment benefits that expired, supplementing the Paycheck Protection Program, providing $100 billion for K-12 and college reopenings, and deliv-ering "billions more" for testing, contact tracing, treatment and vaccines.

He did not mention any additional aid

for states and municipalities, a gap that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer high-lighted in a joint press release. They called the proposal an "emaciated bill" that does not go far enough to address the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Massachusetts is more than two months into fiscal year 2021 and is get-ting by on interim budgets, which are currently set to run through October.

State legislative leaders hope addi-tional federal aid will help them address possible budget gaps and minimize an unpopular combination of spending cuts and tax hikes. Tax collections over the first two months of fiscal 2021 have exceeded expectations.

Dems knock $500B GOP plan as ‘emaciated bill’

Coalition backs expanded research of Offshore WindBy COLIN A. YOUNGState House News ServiceBOSTON - Seven Massachusetts research institutions late

last month pressured Congressional leaders to pass legislation that would "update and expand" the federal government's off-shore wind energy program and related research opportunities.

Writing to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, leaders of the groups urged the pas-sage this year of H.R. 3609 the Wind Energy Research and Development Act, which the group said "would update the Department of Energy (DOE) wind energy program for the first time in more than a decade and help advance world-leading research and development for offshore wind."

The signers -- officials from Northeastern University, Tufts University, University of Massachusetts Amherst, UMass Boston, UMass Dartmouth, UMass Lowell and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution -- are part of the Partnership for Offshore Wind Energy Research, which works to develop a national plan for advancing innovation in the offshore wind energy industry.

"We work as a team to understand the offshore wind system as a whole, and to assist public sector decision makers in chart-ing the right path through the coming energy transition. In

particular, we support authorization for research efforts that improve ocean data collection and analysis of meteorological, geological, oceanographic, and biological information, and ensure that integrated U.S. expertise in energy and oceans is the best in the world," the group wrote in its letter. "We support research focused on corrosion, fatigue, digital twinning, and extreme loads to extend the design life, improve maintenance, and improve resiliency of offshore wind turbines, enabling them to last for generations to come. We support research focused on the integration of offshore wind and other renew-able resources into the electric grid as we head down the path to a carbon-neutral economy."

The legislation in question, H.R. 3609, was filed in July 2019 and got a hearing last year before the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, but has not advanced further.

In Massachusetts, the Baker administration and utilities have contracted with two developers -- Vineyard Wind and Mayflower Wind -- to generate a cumulative 1,600 megawatts of clean energy from wind farms planned for waters south of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. If both projects come to fruition, state officials have said they would provide "approxi-mately 12 percent of total Massachusetts annual energy demand."

More than 1,000 COVID-19 cases reported over long weekendBy COLIN A. YOUNGState House News ServiceBOSTON - As Labor Day weekend

unfolded at beaches and backyard barbe-cues around Massachusetts, more than 1,000 people were newly diagnosed with COVID-19, pushing the state's total case count above 121,000 people six months into the global pandemic.

The Department of Public Health con-firmed 416 new coronavirus cases Saturday, 370 new cases Sunday and another 222 new cases on Monday, a total of 1,008 for the weekend. The state's cumulative total

now stands at 121,046 people.DPH also announced 15 recent

COVID-19 deaths Saturday, 10 deaths Sunday and eight deaths on Monday, a total of 33 deaths announced over the weekend. Since mid-March, the virus has killed 9,133 people with confirmed or probable COVID-19 cases.

DPH said the seven-day average of the positive test rate, one of the metrics that state officials watch most closely, has remained at its all-time low of 0.9 percent since Sept. 2. The website Rt.live, which estimates and tracks COVID-19 transmission rates by state, said the

current Rt for the coronavirus in Massachusetts is an estimated 0.95 as of Monday.

The Rt value is essentially the number of people that one infected person trans-mits the virus to and any value greater than 1.0 indicates rapid spread of the virus.

Between midday Friday and midday Monday, the number of people hospital-ized with COVID-19 decreased by 11. As of Monday, there were 322 people being treated for the virus in Massachusetts hospitals, DPH said.

Above Normal Temperatures, Below Normal Rainfall Lead to Continued Level 2 Drought Throughout Commonwealth

BOSTON — Due to four months of below normal rainfall, Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) Secretary Kathleen Theoharides today declared a Level 2 – Significant Drought in all seven regions of the Commonwealth – the Western, Connecticut River Valley, Central, Northeast, Southeast, Cape Cod, and Islands regions. The drought level remains unchanged from the previ-ous month’s declaration. At a Level 2 – Significant Drought, as outlined in the Massachusetts Drought Management Plan, conditions are becoming signifi-cantly dry and warrant detailed monitor-ing of drought conditions, close coordi-nation among state and federal agencies, emphasis on water conservation, more stringent watering restrictions, and tech-nical outreach and assistance for the affected municipalities.

“Although recent rain events have been helpful, the combination of four months of below normal rainfall and consistently above normal temperatures throughout the summer have led to very dry conditions in every region of Massachusetts,” said Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Kathleen Theoharides. “All levels of government are coordinating to address these critical drought conditions, and it is essential that residents and businesses across the Commonwealth take extra care to conserve water both indoors and outdoors and be mindful of the increased risk of brush and wildland fire when using any fire or smoking materials.”

“As we head into fall and continue to experience drought conditions across the state, the public is urged to continue conserving water in order to reduce the demand on water supplies,” said Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) Director Samantha Phillips. “With an increased threat of brush and wildland fires due to dry con-ditions, we urge residents to exercise caution when using charcoal grills, matches, and other open flames during outdoor activities and to call 911 imme-diately if there is a fire to prevent the fire from spreading.”

The declaration was informed by rec-ommendations and discussions from a recent meeting of the Drought Management Task Force (DMTF), com-posed of state and federal officials and other entities, and will remain in effect until water levels return to normal in the affected regions.

Rainfall totals for August were below normal across the majority of the state. Rainfall was generally the lowest across southeastern Massachusetts, the Cape and Islands, and the highest in the Berkshires and central Worcester County. Meanwhile, temperatures remained above normal, as August tem-peratures averaged 2 to 4 degrees above normal across much of Massachusetts.

Additionally, wildland fire risk con-tinues across the state. Extended drought conditions have rendered grasses, shrubs and forest fuels very dry across most of the state, and extremely dry in areas of the Southeast, resulting in increased wildfire risk and added challenges for firefighting agencies. Long term precipi-tation deficits have also led to extremely dry soil conditions, which results in fires burning deep into the ground, and taking multiple days to extinguish. These con-ditions exhaust local resources and increase risk to firefighter safety. Fire officials remind the public to be very aware of this situation, and to be careful with all open burning and disposal of combustible materials.

The state continues to intensely moni-tor and assess the drought situation, and any associated environmental, munici-pal and agricultural impacts. Task Force officials also noted that the state’s streamflow saw overall improvement in July because of scattered rainfall. However, within the first two weeks of August, conditions seem to have wors-ened, with overall monthly streamflow levels well below normal in most regions. The state asks residents in every region across the Commonwealth to be very mindful of the amount of water they are using, to be proactive in reduc-ing or eliminating outdoor water use, to reduce indoor water use, and to address plumbing leaks as soon as possible. Limiting nonessential outdoor watering is one of the most effective ways to minimize the impacts of drought on water supply and the environment, and ensure there is enough water for fire protection. All these steps will help reduce water use to ensure essential needs such as drinking water and fire protection are being met, and habitats have enough water to recover.

For Regions in Level 2 – Significant DroughtResidents and Businesses:• Minimize overall water use;• Limit outdoor watering to hand-held

hoses or watering cans, to be used only after 5 p.m. or before 9 a.m. one day a week.

• Follow local water use restrictions.

Immediate Steps for Communities:• Adopt and implement the state’s

nonessential outdoor water use restric-tions for drought; Level 2 restriction calls for limiting outdoor watering to hand-held hoses or watering cans, to be used only after 5 p.m. or before 9 a.m. If local restrictions are more stringent, continue to keep them in place during the course of the drought.

• Limit or prohibit installation of new sod, seeding, and/or landscaping; water-ing during or within 48 hours after mea-surable rainfall; washing of hard surfac-es (sidewalks, patios, driveways, sid-ing); personal vehicle or boat washing; operation of non-recirculating fountains; filling of swimming pools, hot tubs, and backyard informal rinks.

• Implement drought surcharge or sea-sonal water rates.

• Establish water-use reduction targets for all water users and identify top water users and conduct targeted outreach to help curb their use.

Short- and Medium-Term Steps for

Communities:• Establish a year-round water conser-

vation program that includes public edu-cation and communication;

• Provide timely information to local residents and businesses;

• Check emergency inter-connections for water supply; and

• Develop a local drought manage-ment plan using guidance outlined in the state Drought Management Plan.

The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) continues to provide technical assistance to communities on managing systems, including assistance on use of emergen-cy connections and water supplies, as well as assisting towns on how to request a declaration of drought emergency.

“Water suppliers should continue to work with their customers and educate them on strategies to manage demand during this time period,” said MassDEP Commissioner Martin Suuberg. “It is essential that regions across Massachusetts embrace conservation practices to avoid added stress on drink-ing water resources and other water-dependent habitats.”

The Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) water supply sys-tem is not currently experiencing drought conditions, as defined within its indi-vidual plan.

The declaration of a Level 2 – Significant Drought requires the Drought Management Task Force to meet on a regular basis to more closely assess con-ditions across the state, coordinate dis-semination of information to the public, and help state, federal and local agencies prepare any responses that may be need-ed in the future. The Task Force will meet on a monthly basis or more fre-quently as conditions warrant; the next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, October 7, 2020 at 10:00 am and will be held virtually via Zoom.

Last year, EEA completed a two-year process and updated the Massachusetts Drought Management Plan to better assess drought conditions across the state and maximize the state’s ability to prepare for and respond to a drought. The Plan also provides guidance to com-munities on drought preparedness and outlines response actions that can be taken at the local level.

Significant drought conditions continue across Massachusetts

"At this time, our investigations reveal that none of the twelve shootings are connected," Gross said.

Gross thanked residents whose 911 calls helped police make gun arrests or "facilitate investigations."

"It was a long weekend," he said. "Instead of being hyper-critical, for some folks, get out there and talk to your constitu-ency, because a lot of the kids that are involved in the shoot-ings or in drag-racing or fireworks are part of your constitu-ency. The police can't wear all the hats. We need everyone to do their jobs, not point figures."

Gross said he welcomes an eventual full reopening of the court system, which like many entities had to rethink its operations to accommodate the realities of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"We definitely welcome the courts to reopen. There's the COVID-19 situation that prevents them from doing so, but whether it's virtually or until that time, we need the courts to be open, because these individuals causing violence in our neighborhoods should be locked up," Gross said. "That's why you have twelve shootings within three days. There has to be some accountability."

Like other parts of the state's court system, Boston Municipal Court and Suffolk Superior Court are open for in-person pro-ceedings on a limited basis with health and safety protocols in place, with other matters conducted virtually. Jury trials origi-nally scheduled to start between March 14 and Sept. 4 were ordered to be continued to dates no earlier than Tuesday, Sept. 8, and no new grand jury could be empaneled before Tuesday unless ordered by the Supreme Judicial Court.

Walsh said that while courts are open, some are operating in modes that are "not as full as they have been." He said it is important to "send a very strong message that if you do some-thing bad in the city, that you will be brought to court and prosecuted by the appropriate authority."

“We will have a microphone so people will be able to hear,” he said.

Egloff said even during a pandemic, 9/11 must be remem-bered.

“You can’t forget,” he said, “we had 343 firefighters that lost their lives. It was absolutely a national tragedy and I never want to forget.”

Athletes ProtestContinued from Page 1

Cammisa noted that many students rely on athletic scholarships to help pay for college and taking away an entire season could affect their scholarship opportunities.

“It’s like taking college away,” he said.

For William Shtefan, also a soccer captain, sports is a productive way to spend time and make friends.

“For some kids it’s a way to keep busy, stay out of trouble, maybe it’s an unhealthy environment at home,” he said. “This is our second family, and for some it’s their first family.”

Co-captain Paul Whalley agreed, and said “the fields are our safe place.”

Vinesett said it’s also their happy place.

“Whatever is bothering us or going wrong disappears when we are on the field,” he said.

All captains agreed that playing soccer also motivates them to do well and try harder academically.

Girls Varsity Soccer Coach Clarke Moore and Boys Varsity Soccer Coach Chris Whalley, who are both parents of athletes, said they were proud of the students who protested Tuesday.

“This is really a student-led event,” said Moore. “It’s important for them to fight for what they believe in, respect-fully.”

Whalley said their goal was to show their passion and have the committee vote again.

“The kids are here to try to change the vote,” Whalley said. “I’m proud as a par-ent and a coach – it’s great to see them come together to try to accomplish this.”

Whalley and Moore agree with their athletes that it is unfair to move fall sports when surrounding communities are playing.

“For these kids, school and the fields are where they can be together,” said Moore. “This is where the community is. It’s not right to take that away when other schools are playing.”

He added that it is also safer.“With sports, we get these kids for an

additional two or three hours after school in a controlled environment,” he said. “Without sports, they will find places to hang out and there’s no guarantee they will be wearing masks or be socially distant.”

Parents also supported the protest and stood by cheering their children. Some parents said they did not understand why the committee voted to remove fall sports. One parent of a golf player said she did not understand why it wasn’t safe to play golf, which is an outdoor, no-contact sport where players do not stand close together.

The committee members issued a written statement Tuesday stating that “while the District recognizes and appre-ciates the value of the athletics experi-ence, the first priority during this pan-demic is to ensure the health and well-ness of our school community.”

Members of the Southwick Regional School soccer team, Paul Whalley, William Shtefan, John Cammisa and Brennen Vinesett, along with Aleksey Shtefan, protest the postponement of fall sports. (HOPE E. TREMBLAY/THE WESTFIELD NEWS)

districts to comply. Dunphy said he anticipates 8 to 12 events or games.Dunphy said as for spectators, the Pioneer Valley Interscholastic Athletic

Conference (PVIAC) is likely to vote on no spectators for indoor sports, includ-ing volleyball or gymnastics, so Westfield is working on livestream options. Outdoor sports will allow spectators with limitations, which haven’t been set yet. MIAA guidelines allow 50 spectators, but he said he is not sure what PVIAC will do.

Committee member Cindy Sullivan asked how kids are going to play in November when it gets dark at 4 p.m. and they’re not under the lights.

Dunphy said there won’t be any tournament play, which shortens the season. “It will be tricky the first couple of weeks in November,” he said, adding they may shorten warmups and pre-game activities.

Cindy Sullivan said she thought one parent could go to indoor sport matches. “It will really stink if senior parents can’t see their kids for the last time,” she said.

Vice chair Timothy O’Connor asked Dunphy if he or the coaches were con-cerned about any of the modifications.

Dunphy said they are putting pre-workout and pre-contest screening instruc-tions on the family registration pages. He said families are responsible, if stu-dents show any symptoms, they are not to go to that event. “Each sport has some concerns,” he said, such as cohort practice schedules, where everyone has to stick with their group. “We’ve been working through those things. No coach has said they are unsurmountable.”

Committee member Bo Sullivan asked if everyone in the conference is on the same page.

Dunphy said PVIAC has 60 schools, so it’s nearly impossible for everyone to be on the same page. “If people honestly look at the modifications, the game is still the game,” he said, adding that he recently saw a recorded 60-minute soc-cer game with modifications that looked like soccer. “When you have changes and something new, people are always going to be apprehensive,” he added.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Sept. 10, 2020:

Capable, reliable and always searching for something more profound, that wild and precious life to be found, you succeed this year by building a supportive net-work. Although deeply private, you will express yourself in wondrous ways. If single, you will find a highly unusual mate this year. If attached, your partner is the focus of attention while you work behind the scenes. Your quiet, happy time togeth-er continues. TAURUS adores you.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You will be changed by

external events involving other people today. It’s a time of adjustments; identify newly developing conditions. An old problem is solved, and you gain a deep understanding of a new subject or task. Tonight: You discover new mental poten-tials.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Money could come from a

different source, as an established source of income changes. Your attitude about financial matters, especially material pos-sessions and investments, undergoes a profound shift. It’s a lucky day to select a new car or to pick up travel tickets. Tonight: Relax.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Events will intrigue you.

Today allows you to work on sensitive points and find solutions. End of the day opportunities arise that open doors to a better life -- pursue them. You’re espe-cially visible to higher-ups. Tonight: Make important calls and purchase books.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You will seek stability and secu-

rity. Today brings extra commuter travel and a restlessness; it might be better to stay at home if possible. Stress can be high, so take time to relax. Don’t let con-frontations develop. Tonight: Your support brightens the lives of others.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Listen carefully and use cau-

tion making promises today. Let others see your point of view. Humor and goodwill brighten intimate ties. Creative ideas, art and music, as well as thoughts of travel bring immense pleasure. Tonight: The needs of children are emphasized.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your ambitions and expecta-

tions about work are high, and a competi-tive spirit builds. Be patient and thought-ful (as you naturally are). Soon your value will be more widely recognized. Don’t take it personally if a familiar group breaks up. Tonight: A soothing bath.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You are frequently enthused

about exploring new places and learning other languages, which has been quite a challenge through this pandemic. Today allows you to indulge this preference or to make plans for a future odyssey. Tonight: You will express yourself admirably.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Keep perspective and don’t

push yourself too hard today. Controversy surrounds you. Make constructive efforts at improvement, but use care if too much anger is building around you or within you. Tonight: Your loved ones are going through a catharsis.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today can impact health condi-

tions in the lives of those near you. Try to avoid contact with those who suffer from an illness. If caring for those who are sick, take frequent breaks so the stress doesn’t wear you down. Tonight: Date night, a relief.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan 19) A clean, orderly environment

adds to your well-being. Today marks a time of healing and increasing strength. Be careful of over-treating any maladies or mixing different medicines, and all will be well. Tonight: Be patient with less than perfect domestic conditions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today helps you create

good fortune with positive actions and confidence. You accomplish much and are an inspiration to others. It’s a marvelous time for planning a remote party or travel to a distant land. Tonight: Express your zest for life.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Relationships are in a state of

flux. Be tolerant and patient with partners. Postpone decisions about financial matters until next week. A job with an attractive benefits package will appeal to you and relieve worries about the future. Tonight: Discuss it with a loved one.

Dear Annie

Dear Heloise: Because of social distancing rules, birth-day parties for my young kids have been put on hold. However, we found a fun way to acknowledge each child’s birthday.

I ask everyone I know to send a birthday card in the mail, the old-fashioned way! It’s a fun learning experience for my children to practice reading all the cards, discuss the postage stamps and how the letter gets delivered. Most everybody is thrilled to participate, and we get dozens of cards. -- Mary T. in Colorado

Mary, such a wonderful, teachable idea! So much fun to open each envelope, and those postage stamps -- some are works of art! -- Heloise

PACKING DISHESDear Heloise: I have been saving padded envelopes I get

in the mail to reuse. When I was packing to move, I used them for my dishes -- a lot of padding with little effort. -- Marnie R. in Louisiana

RUSTIC WRAPPINGDear Heloise: When wrapping a gift, I use twine, along

with flowers and succulents from my garden. I place the gift in a recycled gift bag or box and simply use the twine in lieu of ribbon. I then tie in the flowers and/or succulents.

I’ve also used brown paper lunch bags, folding over the top, adding holes with a hole puncher, then threading the twine or ribbon through the holes. -- Lisa W., Huntington Beach, Calif.

Lisa, how creative and unique! It would be such fun to receive one of your gifts! -- Heloise

DEODORANT STAINSDear Heloise: My deodorant can leave stains in the

underarm area of my shirts. Is there a safe way to remove the stains, or at least lessen them? -- Carrie in New Hampshire

Carrie, there sure is, and it’s one of my favorite go-tos --- vinegar! To remove most fresh deodorant and antiperspi-rant stains, rub the stain with undiluted white vinegar, then launder as usual, using the hottest water safe for the fabric. Vinegar is a workhorse in the home. Safe, cheap and readily available, I’ve reached for it time and time again. I’ve com-piled my favorite vinegar hints, helps and recipes into a handy pamphlet. Would you like to receive one? It’s easy! Visit www.Heloise.com to order, or send a long, self-addressed, stamped (70c) envelope with $5 to: Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 5001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Stock up on gallon-sized bottles of vinegar, and grab some baking soda, too! -- Heloise

ONION HINTSDear Heloise: To prevent onion odor from permeating

the refrigerator and especially the crisper drawer, I use a resealable (zip-type) sandwich bag, and no more smells.

Also, to reduce time and simplify cleanup for cutting boards, when I cut onions I put a vegetable drying towel (a tea-towel or similar) on the cutting board and slice and chop onions right on the towel. As long as it’s not a serrated blade the towel doesn’t get cut and I just toss it into the laundry basket when dry to wash. -- Peter B., via email

Deactivating Social Media After Death Dear Annie: As we live in an electronically con-

nected world, there is a downside that bothers me. I have had a couple of friends die and their Facebook and LinkedIn accounts have remained active. On their birthdays, I receive notifications. I find it creepy. In my mind, LinkedIn is for connecting with others for work reasons. That said, there are some people who are only connected in that way. I under-stand why a profile might be kept active. Facebook makes that connection in our personal lives. I sug-gested to one friend that he turn off the birthday notification for his deceased wife, which he did. But he's going to leave her account up for a while. I'm not sure what the right answer is to this. I would like to add that I'm adding my passwords to my file of things that need to be done upon my passing. What are your thoughts? -- Live Profile

Dear Live Profile: You're wise to set aside your login information, and I encourage you to document your wishes for all of your digital assets after your death. AARP has a helpful article available on their website titled "Prepare a Digital Estate Plan for Future Caregivers."

Regarding your friends' profiles: As someone who has grappled with deactivating a dead loved one's social media accounts, I have to tell you that it can be tough. It really can feel like cutting one more thread connecting the person to the living world. Facebook and Instagram offer options to "memorial-ize" someone's account when they pass away, which some families might prefer to do, and LinkedIn will deactivate a profile if contacted about the owner's death. But leave that for the families to decide. And in the meantime, if a late friend's profile shows up on one of your social media feeds, take it as an opportu-nity to pause for a moment and think of a memory of that person.

Dear Annie: Please recommend to "Still Hurting" -- and others who are coping with the long-term effects of being abused as children -- that they look into Adult Children of Alcoholics meetings. Despite

the name, these meetings are open to anyone who is suffering from the effects of growing up in a dys-functional family, regardless of whether there was substance abuse present. As you mentioned, having a community of people who understand you because they've been there and done that is vital to recovering from trauma.

Know that there is help, and you can get better. Thank you. -- Linda

Dear Linda: Thank you for recommending this lifeline. Readers can learn more at https://adultchil-dren.org.

Dear Annie: I'd like to address a few words to "Feeling Jealous," who was putting together a birth-day party for her 13-year-old stepson and was upset that her husband's ex might come.

My parents divorced back in the 1960s, after 25 years of marriage. I was a freshman in high school. As you can imagine, life around home was upside-down, especially for holidays and birthdays when we kids had to choose a parent. Their love had always been unconditional for their children. Being outspo-ken, an uncommon occurrence for a kid in 1962, I made a heartfelt request to both parents to have all the family together for celebrations. They did it... for us. For their sacrifice, I will be eternally grateful. My two half-siblings referred to my dad as "Uncle." My dad and stepdad were always cordial and friendly. Sometimes, what seems impossible can be made real through loving and caring. -- Grateful Daughter

Dear Grateful: I have a feeling that the rest of your family was grateful to you for advocating that kind of relationship. It sounds as though everyone's lives were richer for it. Thanks for sharing the wisdom.
