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

and various litigation. I am
an active member of Lynnfield
Rotary and also a board

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

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

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

Bonnie J. Celi is running for another
three-year term. Edward
P. Champy III is running for a

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.

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.

art-based scholarships.
Julia Banks is the recipient of
the Karen Rae Simpson Duggan
Memorial Award for $1000
which honors a graduating
senior interested in fine arts,
graphic arts or computer design.

of art; with a job in the art field,
I will be able to express my creativity
easily within all areas of
my life,” Banks said.
Mia Ichimura is the award
winner for the Marjorie Gershaw

that art is a passport
to creativity.
Ichimura plans to pursue a
career as a web designer and
expand her knowledge of color,
layout, typography and other visual
aspects.
“I am very excited to be a part
of this growing industry which
incorporates both my artistic
background and technical business

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.”

on June 17
Jamie Zahlaway Belsito,

Ms. Belsito is challenging
U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton in the

centered on hatred and
division, I proudly and purposefully
became a registered
Democrat.”

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.’

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
