While walking at the former Medfield State Hospital site last night and curious about what was going on at the Bellforge Arts Center stage I happened upon the rehearsal of the Gazebo Players for The Taming of the Shrew, directed by Steve Small, and was handed the attached flyer. Performances are on Saturday and Sunday at 5:00 PM. I did observe that Steve had directed his wife Cynthia Small to have purple hair.

Posted onJuly 7, 2026|Comments Off on FEMA Says NO to MASS for Disaster Declaration re February Blizzard
Date: Tue, Jul 7, 2026 at 4:20 PM Subject: February Storm Declaration To: Medfield Fire Chief and EMD Bill Deking
Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency
Good afternoon,
The Commonwealth has been notified that FEMA has denied Massachusetts’ request for a Major Disaster Declaration for the February blizzard. Several other states that requested Public Assistance related to this event were also denied.
The Healey-Driscoll Administration is reviewing the decision and intends to submit an appeal. We thank you again for the time and effort you have dedicated to the damage assessment process and will share additional information as the appeal process moves forward. As a reminder, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) approved Governor Healey’s request for federal assistance to support businesses and private nonprofit organizations that experienced economic loss as a result of the blizzard. More information about that support here: https://www.mass.gov/news/governor-healey-secures-federal-assistance-for-businesses-impacted-by-february-blizzard
Respectfully,
Dawn Brantley, JD, CEM, ADAC
Director
Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency

I started this blog to share the interesting and useful information that I saw while doing my job as a Medfield select board member. I thought that my fellow Medfield residents would also find that information interesting and useful as well. This blog is my effort to assist in creating a system to push the information out from the Town House to residents. Let me know if you have any thoughts on how it can be done better.
