SPRINGFIELD — Lined up parallel to the monument to the 17 police officers killed in the line of duty was the future of law enforcement for the city.
Among the families of officers killed on the job, city politicians and senior officers, Police Commissioner Cheryl C. Clapprood welcomed the 31 new officers who joined the department in April after their graduation from the 26-week Springfield Police Academy.
“It’s important, I felt, that they be here,” she said. “I want them to know who gave the ultimate sacrifice and I wanted them to know, when it does happen, it’s something you never forget and it’s something you never recover from.”

This cicada molted Wednesday in Oakton, Va. (Kevin Ambrose) For amateur cicada mapper Kathleen Quinn-Farber, the summer of 2013 now feels “prehistoric.” Toting a spiral-bound notebook through hot Pennsylvania fields, Quinn-Farber — along with fellow surveyors, her then 11-year-old son and 6-year-old granddaughter — scribbled down where they spotted cicadas only to go home to manually enter on a desktop computer each hot spot on a map to contribute to scientists’ efforts to chart that year’s brood. In preparation for Brood X, an emergence of three cicada species this summer that have burrowed underground for 17 years, many admirers are reveling in a way they had not before: on their smartphones. Emerging with the mass of cicadas, the virtual fandom has swarmed, including new Facebook groups, merchandise websites, community art projects, crowdfunded books and more. What is Brood X? When do cicadas come out in 2021? Answering your buggiest questions.

From the announcement: “Although here in the United States we may be feeling the weight lifting and the light at the end of the tunnel brightening, we are still in the pandemic, and the uncertainties that need to be resolved are impossible to resolve in the time we have. We have decided to set our sights on Black Rock City 2022.”
