Graduates

get their

salute

By Anne Marie Tobin

It certainly wasn’t what they expected

and it certainly wasn’t the way they

wanted to close out their high school careers.

But last Friday night, the members

of Lynnfield High’s Class of 2020 got their

graduation after all, albeit in the shadow of

the COVID-19 pandemic.

There was no band, no applause or congratulatory

handshakes. But Pomp and

Circumstance was in the air, along with

multiple choruses of honking horns from

families celebrating their seniors.

“I’m so excited even though we couldn’t

be here all in person, I’m glad we got to

do some kind of graduation,” said graduate

Tommy Hauser. “But we’re still going

to have a family celebration at home and

maybe get together with some friends

somewhere.”

Safety precautions ruled the day.

Families were restricted to “observing”

the ceremony remotely from their cars in

the parking lot viewing via live streaming

Time to head to the polls

By Thor Jourgensen

The high school does double duty

for the next two weekends, hosting

the town election on Saturday and

Town Meeting on the high school field

Saturday, June 20.

Coronavirus delayed the annual election

from April 14 to Saturday with the

election scheduled from 7 a.m. to 8

p.m. in the high school, 275 Essex St.

“We are working on the logistics

to keep everyone safe. There will be

masks, gloves, social distancing, pens

will be used once and put aside to be

disinfected later,” said Town Clerk

Linda Emerson.

The town implemented early voting

by mail and Emerson encouraged residents

to visit the town website for additional

information.

“All the races on the ballot are uncontested

and we have one vacancy

that will hopefully be filled by write-in

votes,” Emerson said.

Dear Lynnfield residents

— I am going to preface the

following by stating I do not

feel right publishing this letter

at a time when our country is

in such desperate times. And I

don’t think anyone really cares

about my “qualifications.” I

care deeply about our elderly

community and I want to do

what I can to help, even in this

small way.

In February of this year, I was

appointed by Selectmen Dalton

and Selectman Barrett to fill the

vacant seat for the Lynnfield

Housing Authority’s Board of

Commissioners.

I am now respectfully asking

for your “write-in” vote for an

additional two-year term on

the Board of Commissioners at

town election on Saturday, June

13.

I have been an attorney in

Massachusetts since 2003 and

I have extensive experience and

expertise in many areas of the

law, including real estate, probate

and various litigation. I am

an active member of Lynnfield

Rotary and also a board

member of Lynnfield Youth

Soccer, both wonderful organizations

who work tirelessly for

our community.

I have three boys and despite

our busy schedule it’s imperative

to me they grow up with

a sense of civic and community

pride and there’s no better way

to teach than by example.

If you would like to vote for

me, please be sure to fill in the

The American Red Cross

urgently needs blood

DEDHAM — The American

Red Cross has an urgent need

for blood donations to prevent

another blood shortage as hospitals

resume surgical procedures

and patient treatments

that were temporarily paused

earlier this spring in response to

the COVID-19 pandemic.

Healthy individuals who

are feeling well are asked to

make an appointment to donate

in the weeks and months

ahead by downloading the free

Red Cross Blood Donor App,

visiting RedCrossBlood.org,

calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-

800-733-2767) or enabling the

Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa

Echo device.

In recent weeks, hospital

demand for blood products

has grown by 30 percent after

sharply declining in early April

amid this rapidly changing and

complex public health crisis.

At the same time, blood drives

continue to be canceled as many

businesses and community

organizations remain closed.

Donors are needed to make and

keep scheduled appointments to

help meet the current need.

All those who come to give

through May 31 will receive

a special Red Cross T-shirt by

mail, while supplies last. And

thanks to Amazon, all those who

come to give June 1-30 will receive

a five dollar Amazon.com

Gift Card via email.*

“Blood donors have played a

vital role in the lives of patients

who have needed lifesaving

transfusions during this pandemic,

and patients continue

to depend on donors each and

every day,” said Paul Sullivan,

senior vice president, Red Cross

Blood Services. “The Red Cross

appreciates the support of those

who rolled up a sleeve to give

in recent months, but the need

doesn’t stop. We need the public’s

help to avoid another blood

shortage this summer.”

It’s important to remember

that red blood cells must be

transfused within 42 days of donation

and platelets within just

five days. So, they must constantly

be replenished. There is

Graduates get their drive-through salute

video, due to Department of

Education guidelines. The

Pioneer Stadium stands, normally

overflowing with a jampacked,

standing-room only audience,

were eerily empty.

Down on the field, it wasn’t

much different. It, too, was

empty, save for a handful of

school administrators, including

Principal Bob Cleary and

Superintendent Jane Tremblay,

stationed six or more feet apart

on a specially constructed stage.

Each of the 153 graduates

was escorted onto the field,

one at a time. Graduates proceeded

to the stage, where

they collected their diplomas,

and, in a time-honored tradition,

moved the tassels on

their caps as symbolic confirmation

of their status as newfound

graduates.

Each graduate then had

a special graduation photo

taken (courtesy of Bob

Priestley) before exiting the

field and returning to the

family’s car.

Then it was time for the next

graduate to march across the

field and follow suit.

Student Council President

Emma Nardone, Class

President Megan Battaglia and

Valedictorian Alexis Allain

spoke.

Nardone was the first to

speak, making no real mention

of the pandemic that has

changed the rules of everyday

life. Instead, she stressed the

important roles that Lynnfield

graduates will be challenged

Time to head

with as they venture into the

future.

“We must remember that we

are celebrating more than the

conclusion to our high school

careers,” she said. “We are

celebrating the dedication that

has brought us here, the same

dedication that will propel us

forward into a new and exciting

beginning. Not only are

we capable of embarking on

this journey, we are prepared to

thrive due to the ideals of compassion

and curiosity that were

fostered throughout our time at

Lynnfield.”

Battaglia encouraged her

classmates to, “accept uncertainty

and live life boldly as it

comes.

“The 12 years that we spent

as students in Lynnfield Public

Schools cannot be defined by

the three months that were not,”

she said. “Although the future

may be unknown to most of us,

there is nothing wrong with not

having the answers.”

Allain noted that “this year

has been anything but ordinary.

In our year of lasts, the world

experienced a whole series of

firsts,” she said.

“We have gained something

not even a common curriculum

can teach us. We have learned

not to take any moment or

any person for granted … that

nothing in life is guaranteed,

and no matter how much you

plan or prepare for a moment,

it just might never happen the

way you expect.”

For Tremblay, who presided

over commencement exercises

for the last time (she is retiring

at the end of the month), the

experience was full of mixed

emotions, yet she has confidence

there is light at the end of

the tunnel.

“While this is not the way

any of us envisioned this day

would be when we opened our

doors in the fall, I am grateful

that we are able to recognize

you and in keeping with tradition,

that you will have the

opportunity to walk across this

stage.” Tremblay said.

“As you drive from the

parking lot today, know that

your futures are bright. They

are bright because in the past

months you learned that you

are responsible for yourself,

your own happiness and

decisions.”

One highlight of the evening

was when Tremblay asked, in

lieu of a round of applause, “can

we hear some noise from our

cars in show of appreciation?”

The response was deafening.

Town residents interested in

Chairman Philip B. Crawford is

running for another three-year

term, as is School Committee

Chair Jamie S. Hayman.

Board of Assessors member

Bonnie J. Celi is running for another

three-year term. Edward

P. Champy III is running for a

five-year Planning Board term

and Joseph A. Markey is running

for another one-year term

as Town Moderator.

Elected last April, Markey

scrambled during late winter,

along with meeting moderators

in towns across Massachusetts,

to evaluate coronavirus’ initial

impact on meeting plans with

regards to social distancing.

After consulting the Board of

Selectmen and the town health

director, Markey decided to set

Town Meeting dates and then

issue a “declaration of recession”

to delay the meeting to a new date.

He has already declared the

April and May meetings recessed

and set June 20 as a new

date with the meeting scheduled

to start at 9:30 a.m. at the high

school.

“The meeting will be held

outside. I intend to declare additional

continuances of up to

30 days each as necessary to

defer the meeting until it can

be held safely. In considering

further deferrals, I will continue

to consult with the Board of

Selectmen and others,” Markey

said in a statement last Friday.

Cortland Lane resident John L.

Nunziato is seeking a five-year

term on the Housing Authority

and the sole town office vacancy

Emerson mentioned is an unexpired

term on the Housing

Authority board that voters will

Stephanie Petty is seeking write-in

votes to the board seat she has

since February.

Library Trustee Robert D.

Calamari is seeking reelection to a

three-year term, and Lovell Road

resident Andrew P. Kenneally’s

name is on the ballot to fill one

year left in an unexpired term.

Emerson this week called election

planning with coronavirus

restrictions “a work in progress.”

“We are looking into altering

the floor plan to use one entrance

door and one exit door.

Our goal is to use caution, keep

everyone safe, and abide by our

election laws,” she said.

Lynnfield Center Water

District elevates restrictions

The Lynnfield Center Water

District (LCWD), which at

the beginning of May implemented

routine seasonal

water use restrictions, elevated

those restrictions to

Level 3 last week.

Level 3 water restrictions

mean outdoor lawn and garden

watering is only allowed from 8

p.m. to 6 a.m. on Tuesdays and

Saturdays, with watering prohibited

at all other times.

Residents are allowed to use

hand-held hoses and watering

cans throughout the rest of the

week, if needed, while this restriction

is in place.

The restrictions will be in

place until further notice and

may remain in place through the

rest of the summer.

The elevated restriction is due to

a combination of factors, including

consistently warm weather, above

average daily water consumption

and current outdoor watering

trends in the community.

“With more people staying

home due to the COVID-19 pandemic,

residents are using water

at the rate we usually only see on

weekends,” said Superintendent

John Scenna. “This steady

amount of people using water

for showering, cooking and

continuous outdoor watering is

placing a strain on water supply,

which these restrictions are designed

to combat.”

The Lynnfield Center Water

District maintains a year-round

watering restriction schedule as

mandated by the Massachusetts

Department of Environmental

Protection and the District’s

water withdrawal limits.

The restrictions also help

ensure that the District can

maintain proper water pressure

in order to meet potential firefighting

demands.

More information about the

restrictions is available online

by visiting the Lynnfield Center

Water District website.

Varying levels of restriction

still allow for outdoor use, just

at times when overall demand

on the system is not as high.

Staff will continue to monitor

daily water usage and Ipswich

River water levels, and make

changes to the restrictions if

demand begins to approach a

supply capacity.

Should additional restrictions

go into effect, notifications will

be published on the LCWD

website and signs will be posted

in the community.

Customers with questions or

concerns about the restrictions

can call (781) 334-3901 or

email LCWD@LCWD.US.

Town of Lynnfield answers the call

By Anne Marie Tobin

Demonstrations against unchecked

police brutality toward

people of color have been

sweeping the nation since the

death of George Floyd May 25.

At the epicenter of many such

protests are young people, who

have mobilized to answer the

call to action and are stepping to

the front lines to demand change.

Monday, a trio of Lynnfield

teens — Lynnfield High juniors

Maddie Mahan and Finn

Mattingly, along with 2019

graduate David Blake — led

a bursting-at-the-seams rally

to protest Floyd’s death and

heighten awareness of the

need to engage in anti-racial

dialogue. Floyd was a black

man who died in Minneapolis

while handcuffed and in police

custody. Four police officers

involved in the incident have

been fired and are facing criminal

charges, including Derek

Chauvin, who is facing a second-degree

murder charge.

Lynnfield Police Chief

David Breen estimated that the

number of peaceful protesters

topped 600, much to the delight

of the organizers.

“We expected about 200, so to

have this many people come out

is amazing,” said Mahan. “The

goal is to get people to begin the

process of dialogue in Lynnfield,

and having this many come out

in support is a good start.”

“One of the purposes of

the march is to promote the

voices of people of color in the

community,” said Mattingly.

“Lynnfield needs to advocate

Black Lives Matter and encourage

residents to take part

in discussions, which are important

and pertinent today in

light of what is happening.”

After marching from

Lynnfield Middle School to the

Common, the program began

with a moment of silence lasting

8 minutes 46 seconds (symbolizing

the time Chauvin pinned

Floyd down with his knee) with

participants kneeling symbolically

on one knee and four female

students dressed in Black

Lives Matter attire holding up

clenched fists in protest.

Among the speakers were

Selectman Chris Barrett, State

Sen. Brendan Crighton, Rep.

Bradley H. Jones, Jr., School

Superintendent Jane Tremblay,

Breen, Town Administrator Rob

Dolan and recent Woburn High

graduate Brooklyn Manna, who

organized a similar event recently

in Woburn.

The program also featured

performances by Lynnfield

High students Josh Mattera

(voice) and Alex Pellegrini

(guitar) who sang “Black and

White” by Michael Jackson,

while Jemima Robins sang

“Stand out” by Cynthia Erivo.

Elizabeth Daly read the Maya

Angelou poem, “Alone.”

“Yesterday, today and forever,

Black Lives Matter,” said

Barrett. “This is the time to act.”

Manna said that Black Lives

Matter because they have been

systematically devalued, and

that “to make a change, you

need to be the change.”

“You saw us holding up our

arms and it was so hard to keep

them up, we had to switch arms,

so you can only imagine the

suffering George Floyd went

through in comparison. It’s up

to us to be that change.”

Crighton grew up in Lynn

and still lives there. He noted

that even though he grew up in

a multi-racial community, he

can never fully understand what

it’s like to be black or brown.

“I don’t know what it’s like,

but we are in the two biggest

fights of our lives with the pandemic

and systematic racial injustice

and the only way to win

them is to come together and

take action,” he said.

Jones said the country still

has a long way to go to achieve

equality.

“Floyd’s death is an American

tragedy (but) I am hopeful it

will serve as an impetus for

change,” he said.

Breen noted the strong youth

presence, who are the “driving

force” behind this and so many

other demonstrations.

“What you young people have

done is a fantastic way to get the

word out and you did it in less

than a week, which is amazing,”

he said. “We are listening.”

Tremblay said she hopes that

this is “the beginning of a new

world for the generation of students

here tonight. “I really hope

you get to live in a world where

institutional racism and hateful

prejudice no longer exist.”

“This is a town of white privilege

and we can’t recognize

the true extent of the suffering

that people of color face,” said

Blake. “That’s why it’s so important

at this time, a critical

point in our history, to engage

in dialogue to begin the process

of understanding.”

The protest came on the

heels of a June 3rd discovery

of racist graffiti spray-painted

on a stream crossing in the

Beaverdam Brook conservation

area. The incident is under police

investigation.

“There is no place for hate

speech and hateful behavior in

the Town of Lynnfield,” Board

of Selectmen Chairman Phil

Crawford said in a statement

posted on the town website.

“We condemn this vile and abhorrent

act, which is completely

antithetical to our community

values of respect and tolerance,

in the strongest terms.”

Rep. Brad Jones

speaks on Floyd

State Rep. Bradley H. Jones

Jr. released this statement concerning

the May 25 death of

George Floyd that sparked

global protests calling for racial

justice.

“The killing of George Floyd

is an American tragedy, a horrifying

and totally unacceptable

event that transpired in a

manner for all to see. It lay bare

deep-rooted racism and ongoing

divisions in our country.

While it is right those involved

were immediately fired, it is not

enough. While it is right the

lead perpetrator was charged, it

is not enough. While it is right

the other officers were finally

charged, it is not enough.

“The protests that have

gripped our nation are the

natural by-product of the

country reaching a breaking

point. The universal condemnation

by police officers

at how George Floyd died is

welcome. Violence, looting

and destruction, however, are

unacceptable. While these destructive

actions do not reflect

the actions of the majority of

peaceful protestors, such violence

distracts from the important

message of the cause.

“Each of us, no matter our

station, needs to stop and listen

to one another, in order to really

hear and understand. Those

in positions of power have an

obligation to incite peace and

unity not violence and division.

Violence benefits neither law

enforcement nor the protestor.

Actions that incite violence

sow the seeds of division. We

need to look for concrete and

meaningful steps to make this

American tragedy be the foundation

for positive and effective

change.

“We each need to get out of

our own individual comfort

zones to understand one another

if we truly want to solve

some of these issues. I won’t

pretend to understand all the

problems nor to have all the

answers. However, I do know

we each need to be part of the

solution. Going forward, I will

continue to listen and reflect,

and I promise to work to be part

of that solution.”

We want to hear

from you!

Sports

It was

love-love

this spring

for Schmidt

By Daniel Kane

LYNNFIELD — A lot of times, the most impactful

leaders on a team aren’t the best players on the field

or on the court. The Lynnfield girls tennis team

knows that well.

The Pioneers voted senior Anna Schmidt, who had

a standout career on the junior varsity team, to represent

them as a co-captain before she had even played

in a varsity match. For Schmidt, it was a huge honor.

“It meant a lot,” Schmidt said. “I was playing for

JV until senior year so it was a big deal. Instead of

just coaches picking captains, everyone on the team

got a vote. I honestly shed some tears because it

showed they trusted me to represent the team.”

Lynnfield coach Craig Stone said he couldn’t have

picked a better representative for the program.

“Anna is very personable and caring,” Stone said.

“She’s very enthusiastic, that one kid that seems to

always attract a crowd. And she gives back just as

much.

“We elect captains at our end of the year banquet,”

Stone said. “Both Anna and co-captain Gillian Skelley

getting picked was a great tribute. Traditionally, they

may not be the best players on the court, but it was

nice to see their teammates recognized for their leadership.

It was exciting and we figured this year she

(Schmidt) would earn her varsity letter.”

But with the coronavirus pandemic canceling the

spring sports season, Schmidt, who is also a member

of the cheerleading and diving teams at Lynnfield,

never got the chance to finally play in a varsity

match on the tennis court her senior year.

“I was so disappointed,” Schmidt said. “Even

though I play other sports, I had spent all fall and

winter looking forward to tennis. This team meant

a lot to me and I think one of the biggest things is

how close we were. Everything didn’t depend on

varsity or junior varsity either. Everyone goes to all

the matches and everyone hangs out together.”

And coaches like Stone also helped create that

kind of environment for the Pioneers on and off the

courts.

“Mr. Stone is such a great coach,” Schmidt said.

“Everyone on the team appreciates all the hard work

he does for us.”

That appreciation goes both ways. While Schmidt

may not have gotten the chance to play in varsity

matches, Stone still noticed her contributions to the

program.

“Anna had an impressive junior varsity record,”

Stone said. “Last year after being on junior varsity, I

invited her up to the team for the tournament even if

the fall, studying neuroscience.

she didn’t get a match. I wanted to show appreciation

for the effort she put in. She knew that she would

have started her senior year.

“I sent a few emails while (the cancellations) were

all still transpiring,” Stone said. “Obviously we’re

all disappointed for the seniors. Then, I made sur e

to send an email personally to Anna. I wanted her to

know how much she meant to the program and we

were thinking of her.”

Stone’s comments about Schmidt’s “impressive”

record are spot on. She burst on the scene as

a freshman and lost just one match, finishing 11-1

in doubles. As a junior she finished 7-2-1, while last

year she had a breakout season at 18-3. Her 18 wins

were the second highest total in the entire program,

second only to Lauren Grava (22-0).

While Schmidt sadly missed out on this season,

she’s not dwelling on what she lost. Instead, she is

shifting her focus to this fall when she will be continuing

her education at Lafayette College in Easton,

Pennsylvania, studying neuroscience.

“It was just one of those places where I stepped

on the campus and I knew this was where I wanted

to be,” Schmidt said. “They have a strong program

for my major and I got to meet a few people and

everyone was friendly and seemed to love it there.”

‘Even though I play other sports, I had spent all fall and winter looking forward to tennis.

This team meant a lot to me and I think one of the biggest things is how close we were.

Everything didn’t depend on varsity or junior varsity either.

Everyone goes to all the matches and everyone hangs out together.’

JUNE 11, 2020

Anxiety is one of the biggest

emotional health challenges

facing our children and teens.

It can destroy their self-esteem,

reduce joy, and interfere with,

or even sabotage, them from

taking healthy risks in life.

Being a calming, skilled, and

steadying influence to help your

children learn to manage anxiety

is a valuable lifelong gift

that you can provide to them.

Here are seven strategies to

help your children manage their

anxiety:

1) Closely listen and observe

your teen. True panic attacks

include shortness of breath,

WEEKLYNEWS.NET - 978-532-5880 9

Six Tips to help lower teen anxiety

heart palpitations, dizziness,

dry mouth, nausea, or diarrhea,

high levels of muscle tension,

and possibly an irrational fear

that he or she will die. If your

child is panicking, encourage

slow deep breaths, be reassuring

and non-judgmental.

2) Be patient, present, and

soothing. Use consistent eye

contact, active listening, and

a warm accepting demeanor.

Gently encourage your child to

reflect on positive memories,

personal strengths, and valued

past accomplishments.

3) Listen for irrational

thoughts (e.g., “My future is ruined”,

“I can never get anyone

to like me”, “No one ever takes

me seriously”, “I suck in everything

I do”, “Everyone in the

school is going to talk about

this all the time for the next ten

years.”).

4) Help your child to see that

irrational self-talk raises anxiety

(or even lesser forms of worry)

off the charts. Explain how, like

a snowball rolling down a hill,

the more he or she dwells on

negative thoughts, the larger the

snowball will grow.

5) Coach your child or teen

to realize the lack of evidence

for irrational (unhelpful)

thoughts and help him or her

find evidence for more rational

(helpful) thoughts. So,

for example, point out how the

student is not a total failure or

total loser or totally unpopular.

Go back in time and point out

times when the problem did

not exist and when the current

problem does not exist.

Finding such exceptions to the

rule is very helpful.

6) Point out how “What is the

worst thing that can happen?”

is a more helpful question than,

“What if?” Explain how worries

often begin with “What if”

and that these worries can often

be squashed when realistically

considering how the worst case

scenario is not likely to actually

happen. Even if the worst

case scenario occurs, it may be

upsetting but not the end of the

world.

Repetitive motion injuries during COVID-19

By Dr. Sanjeev Kakar

A patient wrote this letter:

“Earlier this year, I began experiencing

some pain in my right

hand and wrist. I am a systems

engineer and have always done

a fair amount of typing at work.

Now with the COVID-19 pandemic,

I am working at home

and spending even more time

on a keyboard. I’m finding the

pain has increased, and I’m also

having some new tingling and

numbness in my hand and wrist.

I heard about carpal tunnel and

was wondering if I may have it.

If I do have carpal tunnel, what

can I do to help or reverse it?”

Answer: There are various

things that can cause hand and

wrist discomfort. Feelings of

pins and needles, or a sensation

of tingling or prickling,

can occur in the hands due to

pressure on nerves, which are

like electrical cables that in part

give feeling to your fingers.

The exact area of discomfort

and symptoms will guide which

condition you likely have. Are

your symptoms occurring all

day or only at certain times?

Are you having pain only while

typing?

Given the situation you describe,

it’s most likely you

are experiencing one of two

common ailments that have

become more common in the

age of technology. The first is

a type of tendonitis known as

De Quervain’s tenosynovitis.

This is considered an overuse

injury caused by repetitive hand

or wrist motion. The second

possibility sounds like it could

be carpal tunnel syndrome.

Activities such as typing or texting,

golfing, and gardening can

worsen these conditions.

De Quervain’s tenosynovitis

affects the tendons on the

thumb side of your wrist. You

may have swelling in this area

and pain that is exacerbated

when you twist your wrist,

grasp or lift something heavy

like a milk jug.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a

condition that can create numbness

and a sensation of tingling

in your fingers. It occurs when

the median nerve, which is on

the palm side of the hand, is

compressed or irritated in some

way. Symptoms typically are

limited to your thumb, index

finger, middle finger and thumb

side of your ring finger.

If you feel tingling along the

inner aspect of your forearm

down to your pinky finger,

carpal tunnel is not likely the

cause. Rather, it may be that

you are suffering from cubital

tunnel, which is irritation of a

nerve by your inner elbow.

Many patients with carpal

tunnel report initial symptoms

at night, although as the condition

progresses, carpal tunnel

can cause weakness of the

thumb’s pinching muscles and

lead to difficulties performing

routine tasks. Some patients

have reported numbness in their

hand that is exasperated, for instance,

while holding a phone

or driving.

If your symptoms are related

to De Quervain’s tenosynovitis,

using ice for swelling and

taking a mild pain reliever can

help with discomfort.

The best treatment, though,

is to reduce the activity that is

most likely causing your symptoms.

While that can be challenging

now, especially if you

notice that your pain is exasperated

while you type, consider

using a voice-activated dictation

system or switch fingers if

you text a lot. For instance, if

you most often use your thumbs

to text and it has become more

painful, switch to using your

index fingers instead.

I also would recommend that

you perform an ergonomics

check of your at-home workspace.

Your posture can affect

how you function and develop

some of these symptoms.

Second, look at the position of

your wrist. If you are sitting or

standing at an awkward height,

your wrist could be in a significantly

flexed position that puts

pressure on the nerves and tendons,

and increases your risk

for issues and symptoms.

To help alleviate your carpal

tunnel like symptoms at night,

try an over-the-counter splint

with a metal reinforcement on

the palm side. This splint will

stop you from flexing your

wrist and reduce irritation on

the nerve.

If your symptoms progress,

talk with your health care

provider about next steps to

confirm your diagnosis and

the potential for other nonsurgical

treatments, such as hand

therapy or an injection.

The public library is open … online

BY ANNE MARIE TOBIN

Although the Lynnfield

Public Library remains closed

to the public, there nonetheless,

are plenty of things it is offering

to help people fill the hours of,

not just the day, but the night as

well.

“While we are closed, staff

are working behind the scenes

to offer various digital ways

to keep the library running

until we are open and eagerly

checking out books again,” said

Nicole Goolishian, Head of

Technical Services. “We miss

(everyone) all very much and

look forward to getting back to

the Library!”

The library is open 24/7 online

to provide residents with

thousands of books, videos,

music CDs and learning opportunities.

To access any of

the following items, users will

need a current library card and

PIN number. For those residents

who do not currently

have a library card but want to

access online resources, the library

has temporarily waived

the in-person requirement to

show identification and proof of

residency.

To sign up for a library card or

set up a PIN number, email your

full name, street address, telephone

number and birthdate to

the library at lfd@noblenet.org,

which will issue a temporary

library card number and PIN,

which will allow access to online

offerings. The card will expire

in three months, but can be

transferred to a permanent card

at a later time when the library

reopens to the public. Library

staff are available for questions

or assistance at (781) 334-5411

the time to search your family

for the first time. Powered by
