MARCH 2021 Turning the Corner We’Ve Been on This Long Road of the Pandemic for a Year Now NEW GENERATION MAYNARD COUNCIL ON AGING & SENIOR CENTER 50 BROWN ST., MAYNARD, MA 01754 978-897-1009 MARCH 2021 Turning the Corner We’ve been on this long road of the pandemic for a year now. There have been many bumps along the way, and the statistics and personal stories tell us how rough the road has been. We’re still a ways from the end, but I can’t help but feel a tinge of impatience for what’s around the bend as the vaccine rolls-out and society anticipates re-opening. While the uncertainties imposed by the pandemic are disheartening, I’m attempting to recognize the not-yet determined silver-linings and lessons learned from our shared experience. The community has adapted in ways we should all be proud of, including embracing outdoor dining, highly successful and productive online and remote public meetings, holding multiple outdoor Town Meetings, and even recognizing our home-town amenities and supporting the local economy, such as the opening of Market Basket. There are ways that Town Hall is turning the corner that may not be immediately apparent to the general public, including receiving the offi cial state-approval to re-name the Board of Selectmen to Select Board, new staff hiring from retirements in town departments, and the return of Assistant Town Administrator Megan Zammuto from maternity leave (please welcome new resident Winnie!). On a personal note, my wife and I adore our daughter’s turning her childhood’s corner as we register her for kindergarten in the fall, which comes with a mixture of excitement and curiosity for how the pandemic will infl uence the next academic year. As we all look forward to “turning the corner”, please help support efforts to make it on the other side of the pandemic stronger than we were, and together, in Maynard, including local businesses (many new ones!), non-profi ts like Open Table and the Maynard Food Pantry and the Neighbor Brigade, and public bodies like the Sesquicentennial Steering Committee (celebrating Maynard’s 150th anniversary). Thank you for doing your part for public health and safety, including wearing masks, practicing personal hygiene, following social distancing directives, and respecting everyone else’s sensitivities and anxieties. Please be safe and cautious in your daily activities and encourage your peers to do the same. Keep your ears and eyes open to further public health directions, and to news and offerings from the Council on Aging. Please visit the town website www.townofmaynard-ma.gov and click the below image. This page highlights Town Hall updates, daily updates of positive COVID-10 cases in Maynard, Massachusetts response, resources for businesses, and health and safety practices. You can also fi nd a link to subscribe to the Town’s newsletter. In an attempt to distract from the state of the world: Remember that I would include pictures of unique aspects of Maynard from time to time? Do you know where to fi nd this month’s? Sincerely, Greg Johnson Town Administrator [email protected] 2 MARCH 2021 Together Though Apart As I write this my back door is wide open, the temperature may reach fi fty degrees and Carolina wrens, titmice and cardinals are singing bouncy, excited songs. The sun is breaking out, the snow “mountains” around my house are melting and the path to the heated bird bath is becoming visible. Last spring, as the pandemic accelerated, life as we once knew it seemed to shut down. With the deafening quiet from no planes in the sky and traffi c in our streets, people around the world suddenly were exposed to the sounds of birdsong surrounding them. Many were astonished to discover that each April and May, bird migration brings with it a symphony of species establishing territories and seeking mates. Watching birds from newly created in-home offi ces and schools became a beautiful distraction from unsettling times and antidote to social isolation. Birds migrate thousands of miles through inclement weather, with many not surviving, to reach the prospect of food they need to raise their young. This year spring bird migration arrives with hope that the vaccine will allow us to visit the loved ones we have missed and a clearer understanding of how mask wearing is critical to our ability to safely socialize. I would like to thank Maynard Girl Scout Troop 62472 for the delightful Valentine cards and teddy bears that brightened some lucky seniors’ days. There is nothing quite as special as handmade cards. The girls demonstrated their artistic skills and playful sides which were enjoyed by all. The Maynard Police Department is to be commended for their service to Maynard’s seniors. Over the last year they were available to pick up and deliver prescriptions during the stay-at-home order and continue to be available assist. They will be offering rides to vaccination appointments for residents 65-years-old and older to Gillette Stadium, Fenway Park, and the Natick Mall. Please contact the Police Station at (978) 897-1011 or (978) 897-1012. Please call the Council on Aging if you need support in any way. If you would like to learn how to use Zoom and other similar technology, we will try our hardest to fi nd you resources to assist you, including devices like iPads and Chromebooks. If you would like to connect with someone you knew from attending activities at the COA, let us help you reach out. If you struggle with picking up prescriptions, running errands or need a ride to the supermarket, we can provide resources. If you would like to volunteer to become a virtual friendly visitor or provide technical assistance to a senior, please let us know. Stay safe and be well, ~ Amy Loveless Director Maynard Council on Aging & Senior Center Are you bored? Feeling down? Looking for something different to do? Please join us for a delightful activity to pass the time as we are stuck inside during these cold winter months. Sponsored by the Maynard High School Student Council, this project is easy and fun! You will be given a booklet with questions and prompts to jog your memory. This is a great opportunity to recall special moments and let the students know what your life was like.

Wherever Europeans arrived, within a generation entire cultures and populations were nearly wiped out by disease, displacement and war. Transfer of land from remnant native populations to English settlers was a combination of sale, forced sale and outright taking. During King Philip’s War non-combatant Nipmuc were relocated to Deer Island, in Boston Harbor where many died. Today, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts recognizes the present-day Nipmucs as constituting a group of some fi ve hundred members living in and around Worcester. Maynard author and historian David Mark will speak about the Native American presence before and after the arrival of European colonists.

  • 2020 Campaign Case for Support
    2020 Resiliency Campaign for York's Arts & Culture Throughout our long history, York has been an arts town. We're a community of makers, innovators, builders, and doers. York's resilience and success has always come from our ability to 'do what you can with what you have' and making things seemingly out of nothing. York is being tested by COVID-19. As we face the uncertainties of health and economic conditions in the coming months, we now have three months of data on the effects of the pandemic on our arts sector, and the indicators are alarming. 95% of our artists and arts organizations are currently projecting loss of income into mid-2021, and will be unable to serve thousands of people who depend on them due to enhanced safety protocols. Earned and contributed revenues for 2020 will be reduced by 50-85% due to social distancing and the economic recession. York County could lose $4.7 million of economic impact that our cultural community brings into our local shops, businesses, and neighborhoods. Our artists and creative organizations are resilient. They are demonstrating all of the qualities that we need right now: care for safety and health of our people, innovative programming, and hope for the future. The arts are helping us through it all, and are ready to lead the way in these uncertain times. But they need our financial support and advocacy. Our 2020 Annual Campaign will act as the COVID-19 Resiliency Campaign for the arts, raising much-needed operational dollars to help our cultural community weather the next 12-15 months of financial hardship.

The NAC is located in the National Capital Region on the unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabe Nation Mandate The NAC is governed by the National Arts Centre Act, which defines its mandate as follows: to operate and maintain the Centre; to develop the performing arts in the National Capital Region; and to assist the Canada Council for the Arts in the development of the performing arts elsewhere in Canada.
