Nauset school officials look ahead to renovation
Jul 5, 2019 at 5:04 PM Jul 6, 2019 at 6:20 AM
EASTHAM — School officials have started to move forward with plans to spruce up the 1970s-era Nauset Regional High School.
The mid-century modern open campus on Cape Cod National Seashore property opened in 1972 and underwent a major renovation in 1994. For about two years, administrators have been looking at how to best update the 47-year-old school, either through renovation, building a new school or somewhere in-between.
Last week, the School Building Committee held a public forum with member-town officials, where a design was chosen that would preserve the open campus feel by retaining 60 percent of the existing buildings and replacing about 40 percent of the 1970s construction, said Kent Kovacs, the vice president of Flansburgh Architects, a firm hired by the district.
The complete renovation is estimated to cost $92 million, and a brand new school is estimated to cost $151 million.
The in-between option that the school building committee will submit to the Massachusetts School Building Authority, a state authority that helps review and pay for the construction of new schools, is estimated at $140 million.
The authority will be contributing more than $40 million to the project, with the four member towns left to pick up the rest of the tab, according to officials.
The school's current campus was designed by the Architects' Collaborative, the firm of famed architect Walter Gropius. With several freestanding buildings, the school's architecture stands out in the region with a design more akin to a college in California than anything on Puritan Cape Cod.
The preferred design will replace the existing science building and cafeteria and expand the inner courtyard, Kovacs said. The school, one of the only high schools in the country located in a national park, has a road that runs through it, and there are plans to take parts of the roadway offline for security reasons.
School officials are also weighing the best way to go forward in the building process. Officials are considering the traditional design-bid-build method that most public buildings go through, as well as the less-used construction-management-at-risk method.
Where the traditional method almost always goes with the low bidder, the construction-management-at-risk method allows organizations to bring in a manager earlier in the process, making it easier for a manager's input to be taken into account for the final design.
The June 26 forum was held to get people from across the district in the same room to talk about the project before it gets too far down the line, said Greg Levasseur, chairman of the school building committee. The meeting had several municipal leaders from the school's four member towns.
"The reason you're here is because we wanted to present this as a first shot and get some input from you and follow-up with you folks — all your boards and committees — because the last thing we want to be doing next winter and spring is coming before you and asking for funding for the project and spend two hours discussing construction processes," he said.
The schematic design presented at the meeting will be submitted to the state school building authority on July 10. Further design work is expected to run through March 2020, according to school officials.
The district will go to the towns next spring to ask for funding before further design is undertaken in the spring of 2021. Since construction would displace some students, the project is going to be done in phases running through to the end of 2024.

By now, everyone has heard about Matunuck Oyster Bar's stellar reputation. That deck. That view. Those oysters. But the secret to the restaurant's success is that it's at once gourmet and completely unpretentious: fine dining without the fuss, the kind of place you're equally comfortable having a romantic date night or strolling in fresh from the beach.
The casual vibe of Matunuck Oyster Bar belies an incredible attention to detail in the food and the service, lead by owner Perry Raso. Over time, the restaurant has grown in popularity and in size - and so have Perry's sustainable sensibilities. He grows most of the produce himself at Matunuck Organic Vegetable Farm, and the restaurant serves about a million of his own oysters (grown next to the restaurant in Potter's Pond) in a season. The menu offers simple preparations of perfectly fresh food, whether from the ocean or the land. Expect to find quite a lot of seafood, but also meat, pasta and vegan options - all seasonal, all delicious.
Perry started oyster farming in 2002, and is making innovative inroads in local aquaculture, including the first crop of his own scallops, which are notoriously difficult to grow, that he served this spring. He's a vocal advocate for promoting aquaculture in Rhode Island, not just because of the economic benefits, but the environmental ones. This spring, Perry gave a talk on aquaculture at TedX Providence entitled "The Importance of Sustainable Aquaculture in Our Future" (find it on RhodyOysters.com).
No other restaurant in Rhode Island can come close to offering oysters as fresh as they come at Matunuck Oyster Bar - and people across the country are taking note. Matunuck Oyster Bar has a heap of national accolades, recently landing on USA Today's list of the country's 10 best oyster bars, Time Out's 21 best seafood restaurants in America and Travel & Leisure's best oyster bars in America. But don't take their word for it. Stop by on a sunny afternoon and experience Matunuck Oyster Bar yourself.
Dive Right In: Perry Raso offers tours of the oyster farm in Potter's Pond, which is just off the restaurant's patio. Check RhodyOysters.com to find upcoming dates.
Farm to Market: Matunuck Oysters are available throughout the state at farmer's markets. Check FarmFresh.org for one near you.


PLATTSBURGH | Two teens were arrested Wednesday for allegedly burglarizing a home on Miller Street while wearing black ski masks.
Jonathan Caron, 17, of Chazy, and Ryan Jacques, 17, of Lewis, were arrested and charged with burglary and petit larceny.
Plattsburgh City Police received a report at noon April 10 of two men breaking into a home at 58 Miller St. wearing black ski masks.
Caron and Jacques were arrested shortly afterward outside 178 Broad St. in a traffic stop with police.
The two were spotted by a retired Plattsburgh City Police officer — now with SUNY Plattsburgh University Police — driving a red Pontiac four-door sedan, a car that matched the description from a witness at the scene of the burglary, according to City Police Chief Levi Ritter.
Plattsburgh City Police, New York State Police and an officer with the state Department of Environmental Conservation were also seen responding.
Caron and Jacques were arraigned in Plattsburgh City Court April 10 and released on pre-trial release.
Plattsburgh City Police are still investigating the case. Details will be added to this report as they become available.

I don't do any work on the farm. Umm, I don't even go to the farm unless we have visitors in town. There. I said it. Whew. I feel better.
Obviously I have a small reason why I don't do much work out there. But this blog is about why I almost didn't move to Iowa. (There is an adaptation of this story on the farmer's blog, Pirate Tick).
Until moving here, I had only seen a tick in a picture. My husband's picture. Of a tick the size of a quarter he pulled off Jake (the farm dog, who just moved to Georgia). When I found out there were ticks in Iowa, I suddenly no longer wanted to move here. I shudder even now. So, of course, every time I visit the farm, I am greeted by one of my favorite Iowa natives. They usually wait to say hello until we are on our way home. Camped out on the leg of my jeans, crawling down my back, hanging out under my watch on my wrist.
And the best part about my relationship with ticks since moving to Iowa. My husband comes home with them attached to his body. That means they are latched on, people! LATCHED ON!
He asked me to burn one off one time, until he realized I might do more damage than necessary and took the lighter away. Because if you didn't know, you can't just pull a tick off that is latched on. It's head will stay latched on to your skin. I think I just threw up a little. They also get attached to his shirts and hang out in our laundry basket. One morning as I was upside down drying my hair, I saw one crawl across the floor. I scooped up Sweet P (who was in a baby chair nowhere near the tick, but I wasn't taking any chances) and put her on the bed while I grabbed a tissue and flushed him down the toilet.
The worst part? We don't even live on the farm, yet. So yes, there you have it.
It's hard to believe I am the Farmer's Wife.

Shortening Newspaper URLs for Google Plus?
February 10, 2014 / Dave Taylor / Google Plus Support / 1 Comment
I like to share important news stories I read from the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and Bloomberg with my Google Plus colleagues, but it's rare to find G+ on share bars. The URLs are ridiculously long. Is there some simple way I can share anyway?
You're right that many of the social media sharing bars or icon lists on major news media sites, not to mention other Web sites, still omit Google Plus from their list, even though it's a busy site with lots of smart people and good content. You'd think that anywhere they can have their content shared would be good, but my guess is that there's a default configuration for the plug-in that's in use and it includes Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and Digg, but not much else. Also missing from most is Pinterest, but Pinterest does have a "pin it" button you can install, so that one's pretty easy to solve.
Back to Google Plus, though.
I'll use the Washington Post as an example, because it's a site that needs to update its sharing links muchly because it does have crazy long URLs for its articles.
Now you'd like to share this on Google Plus, but there's no link.
Click on the Facebook share button on the Post page and it shows up ready to share with the link hidden and the article already scanned for a photo to include:
That's easy. So what's with G+?
To solve the sharing problem, instead always click on the Twitter sharing link on a page. Why? Because Twitter has to use shortened URLs to fit into the constraints of a tweet, and we can leverage that.
Here's the "share on twitter" window:
The highlighted text is by default, but what you want is the shortened wapo.st URL that is WAY easier to work with both on Google Plus and in email or even text messages.
Simply highlight the URL, copy it, then paste it into a Google Plus status box, like this:
That works perfectly. Quick, easy, succinct.
Until the Google Plus share button is omnipresent, using the Twitter link as a shortcut is the way to go!
facebook, google plus, newspapers, pin-it button, pinterest, share on social media, sharing links, shortcuts, tricks, twitter
One comment on "Shortening Newspaper URLs for Google Plus?"
Dempsey says:
Nice work around. I noticed recently that in G+ you can also just click the "link" option ("text" is the default) and drop the log URL there. The end result is more or less the same.

Matthew McConaughey Wants You to Give Up Your 'Assault Weapons'
Posted at 3:00 pm on April 25, 2018 by John Dempsey
It's a constant drumbeat designed to wear you down: "Let's ban assault rifles. It's for the greater good. You can give up your right for kids, can't you? Do you really need a 'clip' that holds that many rounds?"
No, they aren't going to stop. The media, politicians, and fedora-wearing, craft beer drinking folks think they know more about firearms and gun control than you ever will with your facts. And let's not forget about Hollywood. You know, the elitists that have armed bodyguards that want you to give up your firearms.
Matthew McConaughey is the latest such actor to offer his opinion on firearms based on feelings. Recently, McConaughey was at a film event where he was promoting his newest movie, White Boy Rick, coming out in September. He was asked about his experience at the March for Our Lives fall which he attended last month. McConaughey stated that, while he does support some gun control measures, he's afraid the movement is going to be hijacked by people who want complete gun control and derail the campaign. Too late. It was abducted from the beginning.
"I've got a lot of friends who are gun owners. I've got a lot of friends who are NRA. I grew up hunting. We had responsible gun ownership, but I was taught the right way to respect that tool," he told the Association Press. "At the same time, their [the March For Our Lives protestors] petition that they were speaking about is a very good one."
"I also fear that their campaign–they have to watch that they don't get hijacked," he added. "Meaning, a lot of the crowd was for no guns at all. That was not the march for life. March for Our Lives was for rightful, just, responsible gun ownership–but against assault rifles, against unlimited magazines and for following up on the regulations."
Despite what McConaughey says, this movement was never about just banning AR-15s and other like rifles. It was also about going after the National Rifle Association. The NRA has passionately and consistently defended the Second Amendment rights of Americans. Progressives know that if the NRA is stopped and disbanded, they will have a stronger hold over our guns.
The idea of repeal would take two-thirds of Congress' vote and approval from three-quarters of our states. Experts have stated how difficult that is. So, will anti-gunners really have the Second Amendment repealed? Most likely not, which is why this isn't really about a repeal but "how much can we seize."
McConaughey said that there must be a way to compromise. There's not. The Left has proven they are a group of takers, not compromisers.
The Bill of Rights guarantees that lawful Americans have a right to own firearms. Compromising means giving in to liberals' demands, giving up–at least partially–this right. But what does one gain when a right is given away? When a compromise is met both sides surrender one thing but get something in return. How does that work for gun owners? What do they get in return, here? The answer is nothing.
After speaking at the March for Our Lives last month, McConaughey gave another interview. During the interview, he was asked about "high capacity magazines." His answer was to talk about Texas' three shell limit for bird hunting. Of course, he failed to explain how that protects citizens from criminals looking to cause harm.
It seems McConaughey's pro-gun control mentality in nothing new (despite the fact that he's made millions by promoting gun violence in many of his movies throughout the year). In an interview from 2014, he said: "I get it. You have the right to have guns. But look, let's forget that right. Let's forget the pleasure you get safely on your range, because it's in the wrong hands in other places."
Clearly, he didn't, and still doesn't, "get it." Felons aren't supposed to have weapons in their hands. However, they manage to get them anyway. Too bad McConaughey didn't acknowledge how giving up firearms used responsibly will do absolutely nothing to stop criminals from obtaining them illegally and for nefarious purposes. Every day in America, multiple times a day, there is an attempted armed robbery or successful robbery. Forcing law-abiding citizen to surrender their firearms will only encourage these criminals, as they'll know these people will no longer have a way to defend themselves.
McConaughey is pushing for one gun ban, one on "assault weapons," which will only lead to another gun ban. The next step will be all semi-automatic weapons. Then perhaps all handguns. Why shouldn't Americans be allowed to defend themselves the way they did 30, 40, 50 years ago?
McConaughey asked his friends who are gun owners to "take one for the team" by giving up their "assault weapons." I'm not sure what "team" he's on, but I choose Team Freedom.

Here's a quiz for you — name a Middle East developer with hotel projects in Switzerland, a boutique resort in Montenegro, one in Oman and another at Ras Al Khaimah? And who is also building a city-within-a-city on the Red Sea shores?
Chances are that the name "Orascom Development Holding" wouldn't be your immediate answer. For Khaled Bichara, CEO, the mandate is about changing perceptions as it about getting the desired results. By the looks of it, he seems to be getting there. And without putting on a show and dance about it.
Orascom, which is the name behind The Cove resort in Ras Al Khaimah, does take its time in getting from Point A to Z. Three-year time frames is not what it does.
El Gouna, its flagship project on the Red Sea in Egypt, will be completed to the final detail over decades. Not too surprising when Orascom's mandate is to create a fully self sustained "town", with 17 hotels, two 18-hole golf courses, and even a landing strip. "As of now, 20,000 people live there all-year round and we even have a football team in the Egyptian Premier League," the CEO said.
"Because we do things over 15-, 20- and 30 years, we don't jump into new launches every day," said Bichara. "In Switzerland, what we are doing is to prove to the Middle East and the world that we can build and compete to the highest level. Our property has won the title of the best hotel in the country for the last two years. The restaurant is Michelin starred since last year. Yet, this project is only at the halfway stage — a second hotel will open next summer. In our master plan, we have plans for four more hotels.
But are the Orascom financials matching up? Or because of the longer term nature of the projects, will the numbers take time to realise their potential?
In fact, Bichara was brought in two years ago to turn the company around. "The first order of business was to ensure the assets we had were healthy before we took on new projects," the CEO said. "We announced a new strategy in mid-2016 and been delivering on that since. Two years into the job, we are much stronger financially. The positioning we have is to create full-scale "towns" around the world. What we have in Ras Al Khaimah is the smallest project in our portfolio.
"The El Gouna is the model of what we can build anywhere. It's been 29 years in development; there's 36 million square metres out of which we have built 14.

"Deer Camp: The Musical" at New Century Theatre
Deer Camp: The Musical is exactly what you think it is. Full of bad jokes and lame puns that frequently make you groan before you laugh, it's almost "so bad it's good." But the good news is it doesn't take itself seriously or try to be anything more than it is, with lots of winks and nods to the audience. It's meant to appeal to a certain segment of the theater-going (or non-theater-going) audience, to which I don't think I belong (I'm an animal lover, a vegetarian, and I've never touched a gun in my life). Still, as a child of 80's TV sitcoms, I couldn't resist the opportunity to see the Brothers Darryl from Newhart. While the lone speaking brother Larry (William Sanderson) has gone on to create memorable characters in HBO shows Deadwood and True Blood, first brother Darryl, Minnesota native Tony Papenfuss, has returned to his Minnesota theater roots (including The Birthday Party at the Jungle this spring). Other brother Darryl, John Voldstad, joins him for this show about four deer hunting buddies whose wives have threatened that this will be their last year unless they bring home a deer. This sets them off on a desperate quest to somehow get a deer, despite the fact that none of them has brought a functioning gun. Most deer hunters I know are able to actually hunt successfully in addition to sitting around the cabin drinking beer and telling stories, but not these guys.
A few other things to note about Deer Camp: The Musical, playing now through the end of September at Hennepin Theatre Trust's newest addition, the New Century Theatre.
The set is so realistic I wouldn't want to set foot in that cabin.
The music is kind of catchy and clever, with more success on the country-tinged numbers which feature occasional nice harmonies.
Transitions in and out of the musical numbers are less than seamless, and sadly they use canned music instead of live musicians to accompany the singers.
Local actors Anthony Zadra and Ross Young join the Darryls in the cast. All four actors throw themselves completely into the material, which makes it more entertaining. They are all very enjoyable to watch.
I do love Minnesota humor, and there is lots of it in this show.
If you are a deer hunter, or know someone who is, you will probably relate to and enjoy this show, like the guy behind me who guffawed at every one-liner. If you're not a deer hunter (or a fan of 80s sitcoms), I can give you a few other recommendations of shows to see around town this weekend.

As a mother of 5 children, I look back and realize I never had a plan on how many children I wanted. I can't imagine what my life would be like if I thought about child bearing as most people with common sense do.
I'm too old to have kids.
Our house isn't big enough.
And the list can go on and on. If I had thought about all those things and planned ahead, my life would not be as adventurous, as noisy, as joyful or as loving as it is now. I could not imagine my life without having my 4 boys and my baby girl.
It's true when people say the hardest transition is going from one child to two. It's like you've become used to the daily routine but the second child is thrown in the mix, and life has somehow become chaotic multiple times over. When I learned I was having another son, I will admit I was a little disappointed. You always hear how perfect having a boy and girl is–and who doesn't want perfection? I should have already learned perfection doesn't exist when I entered my home. Toys, baby things–who know there could be so MANY baby items?! I found out I was pregnant again shortly after my second son. I was that 1% that breastfeeding was not an effective method of birth control. I'm not going to lie when I say I was stunned and a little scared. And then I found out the baby was a boy. I did cry during the ultrasound. And then he came along and couldn't be more loving. After finding the 4th baby was yet another boy, I told my husband, he failed his wedding contract to give me a little girl. I had decided that we weren't meant to have a girl. Boys were in the stars; which was fine because I was not a girly girl. Make up? Dresses? High heels? Jewelry? What were these things and how are they used?! My favorite outfit were scrubs.
Our family, our boys were fun, loving and loud. Quite often dinner somehow never happened, laundry was abundant and there was always an errand that was always put on hold. My home wasn't perfect and did not look perfect. But who am I kidding?! I looked like a hot mess. But did I? Because most days, I didn't even look in the mirror. I realized this when my coworker politely asked me if my skirt was inside out and horrified I quickly went to the bathroom and redressed in the light. I don't even know when I last showered. I gave up on going to the bathroom by myself.
I would go to parties and watch my boys be boys-loud, rough, running around, beating each other with whatever they could find but laughing the whole time. I would then watch the girls sitting quietly, coloring and playing with dolls. I thought, how nice, I bet that house is quiet.
One week before Eric was scheduled for the big snip–a vasectomy; I found out I was pregnant! Dear Lord, I'm about to have 5 boys! I've already read all the blogs about "moms of boys" how having boys were a special blessing. Yes, if that blessing was watching your kids be daredevils and jumping off things that make your heart stop and wrestling and playing so hard that they say it hurts. But you're laughing and it hurts?! At my ultrasound, I found out the baby was a girl. I didn't believe it. My family and friends were ecstatic. When I delivered, the first thing I did was look between her legs. YES! A girl!
Gianna has added a whole new dimension to our family. She is the ultimate girl but who also wants to wrestle with her brothers. She still runs around, climbs, jumps and is the loudest in the family! She bosses her brothers around, they in turn tease her but they watch out for her and attend to her needs. Eric is wrapped around her little finger and with a kiss she can get him to do most anything. For me, as a mother who has a girl, there is a relationship that is different than the boys. It doesn't mean I don't love them all the same. But a girl makes you a little more gentle, a little more patient, and a little more self aware of being a woman. You teach her how girls should be treated. You teach her to accept her body type because you accept your extra lumps and bumps. She learns that being cute or pretty is not enough. Girls are also smart, funny and strong. Girls can conquer the world. My daughter will know that she can be a wonderfully powerful force and nothing can stop her in this life.

You run on the treadmill, you lift weights; you even do stairs from time to time. You are proud that you made it through another workout, but did you consider stretching those muscles you worked so hard during your workout? I recently noticed that stretching has gone by wayside with most trainers and popular fitness programs. I'm a big fan of stretching; it is as important as your workouts and should be a regular part of any exercise program.
Cardio and strength training actually cause your muscles to contract so we need stretching to lengthen our muscles, increase the flexibility and improve our performance. Balance is also quite important especially with age and proper stretching will keep your joints in good shape and help prevent injuries. A good stretch will increase the blood flow to our muscles and speed up the recovery after strenuous strength workouts, plus decrease muscle soreness. An added bonus: stretching is good for our state of mind as it relieves stress and relaxes the muscles.
Warm Up. Never stretch cold muscles. Warm ups are essential because cold muscles pose the risk of injury. Walk slowly, move your arms and legs before beginning to stretch.
Stretch before and after your workout. I recommend light stretching before exercising and a more rigorous one afterwards.
Hold Stretches for 30 seconds. But if a muscle is tight, you might want to hold for up to a minute because it takes time to lengthen tissues safely.
Hold a pain-free stretch. Don't force a stretch beyond mild tension. If it hurts, you might have gone too far.
Breathe slowly. Don't hold your breath.
Stretch both sides. This assures equal range of motion on both sides of your body.
Make stretching a part of your routine and you will also notice how much better your posture will get. Relaxed muscled will help you reach better health and look younger.
And now, here are the stretches I recommend. I'm a fan if seated floor stretches like side lunging stretch, quadriceps stretch and pigeon stretch. Sitting on the floor, place your legs straight out in front and reach for toes. Then, legs out to the side (I call this Van Damme stretch) go to middle, left and right. Continue with one leg straight, the other in Indian stretch position. Do leg stretches daily for 1-2 sets of 60 + seconds each.
Upper body stretched should include Chest, Lats, Shoulders: across body, over head, Biceps, Triceps and Forearms.
Remember, consistency is the most important thing; the more consistent you are, the better shape you will be in.

After introducing the concept of its Amazon Go Store back in 2016, Amazon finally opened the doors of its first automated grocery store on January 22 of this year. According to Amazon, it took the company four years of building and 1 year of rigorous testing to get this store opened, and it seems that Amazon's efforts are paying off as the store has received highly positive reviews from its customers.
However, Amazon's first Go Store is not the first automated store to launch in the world, as following the announcement of Amazon's first automated store, many Chinese tech giants including Alibaba created their own version of automated stores and launched them as early as May 2017. However, there's one key difference between the automated stores launched by Amazon and its Chinese counterpart.
While Amazon is tracking shoppers using a variety of motion sensors and cameras, a technology which is similar to what's used in today's self-driving cars, the Chinese companies are mostly relying on facial recognition and tracking technology. Suning is one of those companies and has already launched two automated stores in Nanjing and Shanghai province in China.
Suning's flagship BIU store in Shanghai is the first one which depends solely on using the facial recognition technology. To enter the store a user first needs to download the Suning Finance app and register on it with his/her bank account and link their face data.
Once you have done that, you can scan your Suning app and enter the store. Just like Amazon Go Store, a user can pick up anything he wants that walk out the door without having to go through a cashier. The exit terminal has an RFID reader and face scanner. The RFID reader identifies all the products that are in your shopping bag and the facial recognition technology identifies customers and charges their Suning's account.
Suning is already deeming its unmanned stores successful as the company is planning to release more unmanned stores in the near future. That said, all the unmanned stores release till date are being operated inside a highly calibrated environment, only time will tell if the stores can survive in normal working conditions.

Tier Two restrictions for Worcestershire from 2nd December 2020
27th November, 2020 /in News /by Wyre Piddle Clerk
Tier Two restrictions for Worcestershire
Today, the Government announced Worcestershire will go into Tier Two category of restrictions, once the current lockdown finishes on December 2nd.
Worcestershire has worked very hard during the lockdown to reduce the number of cases of Covid-19 in the county.
We have seen some good progress, which has resulted in the county avoiding tier 3 restrictions. We now need to continue the good work and bring the number of Covid-19 cases down further.
From Wednesday 2nd December, everyone in Worcestershire will need to observe Tier Two restrictions.
Tier Two restrictions include:
you must not socialise with anyone you do not live with or who is not in your support bubble in any indoor setting, whether at home or in a public place.
you must not socialise in a group of more than 6 people outside, including in a garden or a public space – this is called the 'rule of 6'.
businesses and venues can continue to operate, in a COVID-Secure manner, other than those which remain closed by law, such as nightclubs.
pubs and bars must close, unless operating as restaurants. Hospitality venues can only serve alcohol with substantial meals.
The full list of restrictions are available on the dedicated pages of the Government's website.
These restrictions are considered necessary because the infection rate remains too high. The virus doesn't stay in a single area but spreads where people are mixing. It is very important that we all now follow these new rules, to reduce the number of Covid-19 cases and stop the virus spreading further.
Dr Kathryn Cobain, Director for Public Health for Worcestershire said:
"I would like to thank you all for your continued hard work in helping to stop the spread of Covid-19. During these recent restrictions, we have seen some positive signs that Covid-19 cases are starting to stabilise in the county.
The tier we will be in from December 2nd, will be reviewed every two weeks so it is important that we keep these figures heading in the right direction. Therefore, we need to continue to follow the measures in place to protect us all. We need to keep following the rules and keep building on the hard work we have done so far.
This is a real opportunity, to take control of the virus, get our figures down and reduce the risk of transmission, especially with Christmas around the corner.
It is up to us all now to keep going with the good work, by social distancing, by wearing a face covering, by washing our hands regularly and limiting our contacts."
Councillor John Smith, Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing and Chairman of the Health and Wellbeing Board added: "These new measures represent a renewed opportunity to get our numbers down even more. If we keep working together to follow the rules, we will keep the people of Worcestershire safe and reduce the transmission of the virus."
For the latest information on the restrictions and what you can do over the Christmas period visit the dedicated pages of the County Council's website.

From a clinical standpoint the Wassermann reaction is generally looked upon as a specific test for syphilis. This statement is made with a clear understanding that in some few exceptions, false or "pseudo-positive" reactions may occur, but a test which will give positive results in some 90 per cent to 98 per cent of cases, from a clinical standpoint, may be looked upon as specific.
Larkin, Levy and Fordyce (1) have found a positive reaction in practically 100 per cent of cases of florid syphilis, and in 94 per cent of active tertiary. Craig in 90 per cent primary cases, in 96 per cent secondary and 87.4 per cent tertiary cases obtained a positive Wassermann reaction. These figures merely show the comparatively slight variations that do occur with different workers and with cases in different stages of the disease. It is not within the scope of this paper however, to discuss all conditions affecting the Wassermann reaction on the blood.
