  • City of Springfield, Massachusetts Guidance and Information on Reopening Municipal Government and Businesses
    City of Springfield, Massachusetts Guidance and Information on Reopening Municipal Government and Businesses Provided as a Courtesy by the Office of Mayor Domenic J. Sarno (updated – May 20, 2020) An Open Letter to our Residents and Business Community As my administration has done during previous natural and man-made disasters, we are committed to keeping our residents and business community informed about the latest developments for reopening our city during the ongoing COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic. We will continue to monitor the situation and adhere to any and all public health and safety measures recommended by the health experts, the Governor’s Office, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, the CDC and other state and federal agencies. The goal of the phased reopening, which will be based on public health and scientific metrics, is to systematically allow the reopening of municipal buildings and businesses to the public under a controlled approach with new standards for all workplaces that are designed to help reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission to employees and customers. This method is being taken out of an abundance of caution to preserve our workforce, protect the health of the public and to try to limit a resurgence of new COVID-19 cases. As we all continue to work together with these changes, I wanted to reassure you that our proud city team, which has been tested and true, will continue to review and closely monitor the situation for any changes so that the City of Springfield can remain vigilant in our response to address any potential needs that may arise.

  • Assessing the Representation of Live, Native, Terrestrial Mammalian Wildlife In
    Familiar Faces? Assessing the Representation of Live, Native, Terrestrial Mammalian Wildlife in Massachusetts Museum Environments Cheryl Ann Cheney A Thesis in the Field of Museum Studies For the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University Extension School November 2009 Copyright 2009 Cheryl Ann Cheney Abstract Captive display presents the public’s best opportunity to gain firsthand access to live animals under reasonably controlled circumstances, and the museum milieu can further enrich the experience by providing positive, pertinent, on-the-spot interpretation. A main premise of this thesis is that Massachusetts museums may not be taking full advantage of opportunities to introduce citizens to local mammalian biodiversity, what might be interesting or important to know about it, and the ramifications of our shared occupation of the environment. The zoo profession has embraced conservation education as “the best and most viable reason for the continuing existence of zoos [that] can be found” (Hancocks, Different xviii). Traditionally, zoos have concentrated their collection energies on the accumulation of exotic animals. When only exotic animals are on display, it is easier for visitors to ignore the issues that may directly impact upon themselves and their local environment. By collecting and exhibiting native species, zoos can demonstrate that they are of value and worthy of conservation, and educate visitors on how conservation might be accomplished. This thesis assesses: 1) the extent to which, among museums in Massachusetts with a live animal collection, native terrestrial mammalian wildlife species (NTM) are on exhibit; 2) the exhibition style and interpretive focus employed in the presentation of these animals; and 3) the factors that have informed the museums’ collection strategies in this regard.
