“Our Family Cooks For Your Family”

Supper Club Launching at ACC A new, exciting “Supper Club” series is being launched by Agawam Congregational Church at 745 Main Street with a special themed evening of supper and music. The first is a scheduled holiday supper with holiday music to be held Saturday, December 15th at 5:00 p.m. with a very special, catered meal by Agawam’s American Classics Restaurant. The menu offering includes 3 delicious courses of a colorful salad, chicken Française, red-roasted potatoes, Manhattan-blend vegetables, rolls, butter, cheesecake dessert, and beverages. Each supper in the series will be catered by a different Agawam restaurant with its own specialty supper club meal offering. A theme for each supper will feature music recognizable of the specialty’s origin.

The suppers give the church the opportunities for major fundraising and the local restaurants receive additional recognition of their menu offerings. The idea was a suggestion by the church’s pastor Rev. Dr. Gregory Dawson. Church member Roberta Page con-

Ecumenical Blue Christmas Service Saint David’s Episcopal Church, 699 Springfield Street, Feeding Hills, Saturday, December 15, 2018 at 1:00 PM. Sponsored by Agawam Clergy Association.

Please join us as we come together in support of each other during this Holy Christmas Season. For many of us in our community, Christmas is a very difficult time of the year. It seems as if everyone around us is filled with joy and are busy getting ready for family gatherings, etc; and all we want to do is hide. Grief comes in so many forms. You may have suffered the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a job, loss of your faith, a medical crisis or painful memories … you may be filled with sadness, despair, emotional numbness, anger, guilt or loneliness. Through this liturgy we uplift your tears and sadness to the One who transforms these dark moments into moments of hope, reconciliation and renewal. This service will be led by the Rev. Domenic, a certified Grief Recovery Specialist and a Pastoral Care Specialist certified by the American Association of Pastoral Counselors. After the service there will be ministers available to speak with and who will pray with you. There will also be time for fellowship and light refreshments.

For more information please contact Rev. Harvey Hill from Saint David’s Church at 786.6133 or Sacred Heart

Parish’s Pastoral Minister Deb Briancesco RN at 786.8200 ext 3. All are welcome and encouraged to attend!

Keepers of tradition: Art and folk heritage in Massachusetts Mass Cultural Council In the 1860s, entrepreneurs in Westfield, Massachusetts invented machinery and perfected techniques that dramatically altered the way that whips were made worldwide.

The practice of whip making grew rapidly, employing roughly 80% of the workforce through the late 1800’s, earning the community the moniker “The Whip City”.

The traditional Westfield whip, sometimes called a buggy whip, features exceptional weight, balance, and action, making them prized by equestrian professionals and dedicated amateurs worldwide. Unlike a braided leather bull whip, a Westfield whip has a center of machined rawhide encased in meticulously fitted strips of rattan and is covered with tough, braided thread. Today, rawhide and rattan have been replaced by fiberglass and nylon. Although the Westfield way of making whips is still done, it is too labor-intensive to be cost effective. This fact motivated Carol Martin to found the Westfield Historic Industries

Preservation Project (WHIPP), now a part of Westfield Museum Inc. The museum will feature a permanent working display of making Westfield whips using traditional methods.

Martin’s father, Harold J. Martin, learned whip making by apprenticing to a master craftsman in the early 1940s.

He went on to become president of Westfield Whip Manufacturing Co. After his death in 1992, Carol took on whip making as a full time occupation. She is likely the only person alive today who has knowledge of how traditional Westfield whips were made.

Apprentice Stephanie Harder has shown a real talent for the making of some of the component parts that go into the traditional Westfield whip. Carol will impart both the skills and a working knowledge of the history of whip making in Westfield to someone who has the interest and ability to carry it on.

Without that, the hands-on understanding of what made Westfield the Whip City will be lost within a generation.

As part of the City of Westfield’s 350th Anniversary in 2019, master and apprentice will hold an open house at the museum to demonstrate whip making as it grew and developed in

Westfield.

Home Evaluation Offered The Westfield Council On Aging and the Occupational Therapy Department at Springfield College will once again collaborate to offer a limited number of older

adults in Westfield a unique home assessment opportunity. Pairs of students determine the level of safety and convenience in the home of their assigned older participant by conducting a home visit and an interview. The students address problem areas and make recommendations in a written report that is reviewed by the class professor, Dr. Joan Simmons.

Participants receive a copy of the report so that they can implement any of the recommendations if they choose to do so. This is a wonderful opportunity for older adults with any mobility or sensory limitations to discover how they might function more easily and independently at home. If you would like to participate in this unique program or if you have questions, please call Tina Gorman or Fran Aguda at the Westfield Senior Center, 5626435.

Winner is determined by most correct games won. The tiebreaker is used when more than one entry have the same number of wins. At that point, the total number of points given by the contestant will determine winner. In the event of a game not being completed, that game will not be considered in the final tabulation for that week’s games. The grand prize winner will be selected by a random drawing of all entries better than “The Putz” from throughout the entire 17-week regular season. This contest is merely for entertainment purposes. It is not meant to promote or to facilitate gambling or illegal activity.
