Join the Alumni Association!

Instructor John Passiglia, left, teaches President Bob Pura, right, in the art of bending iron.

Welcome to the new GCC course guide. Well, it is not really new, but the focus and layout is designed to bring more attention to the extensive list of courses in our Community Education offerings. We have learned that our day and evening students who are taking credit courses are registering online or in person. Many of our Community Education students who are taking credit-free courses or workshops prefer using this course guide as their starting point. Although you will still be able to read about all of the courses offered at GCC, this new format focuses primarily on Community Education. The two-fold mission of our Community Education work is both personal and professional development. The ever-changing economy requires that we make lifelong learning a habit. Our office of Workforce Development offers many ways to do this, providing local, low cost, high quality training to refocus or change your career path.

We value your connection to GCC. As a member of the Alumni Association, you can participate at many levels, ranging from being listed as a supporter on the Association membership roster, to joining us at meetings or serving on our Board.

It looks like we are in for a long winter. Personal Enrichment classes can be a great way to get out of the house, learn something new, and beat cabin fever. This picture was taken at our Blacksmithing class at Pierce Street Iron Works. I had a blast firing up a piece of iron and getting good instruction by John Passiglia about the craft of blacksmithing as well as the innovative and creative process. Learning is not just something we do in a classroom in preparation of life; more, it is a way of life. This guide will open the doors to those possibilities. Sincerely,

Also, you can sign up for AlumNet, a social networking site for GCC alums where you can connect with other former students and faculty. For more information about the advantages of membership, please visit our website now at www.gcc.mass.edu/alumni/ or call (413) 775–1600.

Bob Pura, President We make every effort to offer our classes as indicated in this Course Guide. Occasionally, there are changes beyond our control. For up-to-date information on all courses, visit our website: www.gcc.mass.edu.

Community Education–Pioneer VaIley Institute

Pioneer Valley Institute

Mysterious Stone Chambers of New England Thur, Feb 2, 7 PM (snow date: Feb 9) with Jim Vieira, stonemason. Location TBA

Strange stone tunnels and chambers, perhaps prehistoric, right in our back yard? In Shutesbury one of several stone chambers bears a corbelled roof similar to that the famous structure at Newgrange, Ireland, dated to 3000 BC. In Goshen, at an inaccessible site of 1,400 feet of elevation, a sophisticated configuration of columns supports nine very large ceiling stones. The chamber is oriented due east in the direction of the equinox sunrise. Similar stone constructions have been found in Leyden, Wendell, Pelham, Montague, New Salem, Whitingham, VT, and throughout New England. Who built these structures and when? Why?

Bringing programs, exhibits, field trips and workshops to the public for nearly a quarter century. Resources designed to explore the rich and unique character of the Connecticut River Valley—its past, present and future. The Pioneer Valley Institute’s programs highlight regional history, literature, art and architecture, folklore, cultures, political and environmental issues. We welcome co-sponsors for many of our programs. Email us at pvi@gcc.mass.edu.

SPRING PROGRAMS–2012 At press time not all the dates and locations of our programs have been established. Call 413.775.1671 (voicemail: leave your name and address slowly and clearly; we will send you a brochure of our spring programs) or email your request to pvi@gcc.mass.edu. All programs are announced through the local newspapers and PVI members will receive a brochure early in the winter and announcement postcards throughout the spring. The program booklet is downloadable from gcc.mass.edu/pvi/ We continue to offer the Valley’s only varied series of workshops, exhibits, field trips and lectures relating to the Connecticut River Valley. All the programs sponsored or co-sponsored by PVI are open to the public at a modest cost. Several programs have become annual events. Every November we hold our GEM, MINERAL AND FOSSIL SHOW AND SALE at the Greenfield High School. The ANNUAL MEETING is held in late November or early December and features a topic of particular public interest.

Ashfield stonemason Jim Vieira has been exploring local stone chambers for years now as a member of the Northeast Antiquities Research Association, which has studied these structures for some 60 years. He will describe the stone ceremonial landscape of New England, carbon dating evidence and historical texts. His slides document local sites and others in New England, and he will discuss what they represent and who may have built them. Later in the spring Vieira will lead a hike to a site in Goshen or Ashfield. Stay tuned for details!

Fight Town: Sport and the Growth of an Urban Community Wed, Apr 4 (tentative) location TBA, with P. J. Moynihan

P.J. Moynihan describes his film, “Fight Town: Sport and the Growth of an Urban Community,” as a historical documentary chronicling the development of Holyoke--America's first master-planned industrial city--by way of its sandlot diamonds, wooden gymnasiums, and smoke-filled fight clubs. This will be an exciting look at a city we barely know up here in north valley. Holyoke native Moynihan recently re-edited the 2004 film for showing on WGBY this past summer. After the showing he will discuss the film and the city. PJ Moynihan founded Digital Eyes Film in 2003. “Fight Town” was followed by “Eye on the Dream” (2007), a ten-part documentary about amateur baseball broadcast on Comcast Sports Network. During 2009 Moynihan was a Producer of “Cobb Field, A Day at the Ballpark” which won three mid-America EMMY awards, and premiered on MLB Network. During 2011, Moynihan completed his first feature length documentary, entitled "Salmonboy: A Story of Fire & Water." The film follows one family's journey through a living art project, in connection to the passing of their first born son. Currently, Digital Eyes Film is developing a scripted feature, entitled "Have Glove, Will Travel ," based on iconic former major league baseball player Bill “Spaceman” Lee, and a feature length documentary about the global psychiatric survivor movement, entitled HEALING VOICES.

Community Education–Pioneer VaIley Institute Nature’s Resilience: Life in Our Rivers After Irene Date and Location TBA, Michael B Cole, senior aquatic scientist at ABR Environmental Research Services

Last August we were witness to the destructive forces of floods when Hurricane Irene passed through the Pioneer Valley. Those who live along our rivers and streams suffered the greatest losses and even months later many are still recovering. As an aquatic biologist Cole is often asked, “What about life in the rivers?” This field lecture will examine that question. We will visit one of the Valley’s rivers, examine what changes occurred during the flood and the effect these changes had on the life in the river. We will focus our attention on the aquatic insects and other “macroinvertebrates” (ie, animals without backbones and visible to the naked eye) to learn about the resilience of life in our rivers. We will learn both about the recovery of the life in the river since Irene, as well as the ability of river life to tell us much about river and watershed conditions in relation to all kinds of disturbances, natural and anthropogenic alike.

Spring Into Holyoke–the “Industrial Venice” of the Pioneer Valley Sat, April 28, Depart GCC at 9 AM by bus. (Private cars OK) Pickup passengers in Northampton's Walmart lot. With Prof Richard Little

Today's activities will explore the uniqueness of Holyoke's art, culture, industry and geologic heritage. This is indeed an amazing place. We will investigate the best dinosaur footprint site in Massachusetts which preserves the first evidence of herding dinosaurs, and it has a great view of the river and the Holyoke Range. Then we enter Holyoke's industrial center, a resource of both Anglo and, more recently, Hispanic history. We will have a tour and lunch at Wistariahurst, after which we will explore why there are canals in this "Industrial Venice of the Valley" and what's happening at the mills today. After a day of exploring, we will stop at a distinctive restaurant in Holyoke. Locations scheduled to be visited: Trustees of Reservations Dinosaur Footprints and Connecticut River, Nuestras Raices, Heritage State Park, Wistariahurst, and historic mill locations. Dinner location to be arranged. Return to Greenfield at about 7 pm. Cost: PVI members $15, non-members $18 (includes admissions) You may become a member now or on the day of the trip. For bus transit, add $25 PVI is also planning a program in conjunction with the 50th Anniversary of the Peace Corps. Amy Mayer, producer of the radio documentary, Peace Corps Voices, will join several former Corps volunteers who live here in the Pioneer Valley to discuss the role the Peace Corps has had in their lives and the relevance of the skills learned during their years serving around the world.
